Fair value hedge

Income Statement	Gain/(Loss) on Swap								Gain/(Loss) on Borrowings
Classification	2011			2010		2009			2011		2010			2009
Other income (expense)(A)	$	(2,650	)	$	6,638	$	(3,402	)	$	2,650	$	(6,638	)	$	3,402

(A) Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. There was no hedge ineffectiveness relating to these interest rate swaps.

Undesignated hedges
