[1] The notional amount of this instrument is scheduled to amortize to $36.2 million.
[2] As described further in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on January 5, 2012, we settled these instruments, along with interest accrued thereon, for an aggregate of $29.7 million. Our policy is to present payments to terminate interest rate swaps entered into in order to hedge forecasted interest payments as operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows. Accordingly, the payments to settle these instruments were included in net cash provided by operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
