The significant increase in the non-current portion of other long-term liabilities since December 31, 2010 is attributable to the Company's interest rate swaps, the liabilities for which increased due to movement in the forward interest rate curves, particularly for the swaps recently entered into that extend through 2016, which resulted in an increase in the Company's estimated future liabilities under such contracts. See Note 16, Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on the Company's interest rate swaps. Additionally, $5.2 million in obligations associated with acquired unfavorable contracts were recorded during the year related to acquisitions completed during 2011, which are being amortized over the remaining terms of the respective unfavorable contracts. See Note 2, Acquisitions for additional information on the acquisitions made during 2011.
