In May 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $875.0 million in order to mitigate a portion of the variable rate interest exposure under the Term Loan Facility. These swaps have an effective date of May 31, 2012 and are scheduled to mature on May 29, 2015. The terms of the agreements resulted in the swap of one month LIBOR rates for a fixed interest rate, which is expected to result in the payment of an all-in fixed rate of 3.34% on the notional amount through the date of maturity.
