        As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $1,514.8 million of debt outstanding on facilities with fixed interest rates and $1,196.8 million of debt outstanding on facilities with interest rates based on floating rate indices (primarily LIBOR). The Company economically hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had interest rate swaps in place with a net notional amount of $765.8 million to fix the floating interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt obligations.

        The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt facilities, and as of March 31, 2013, was in compliance with all such covenants.

        In February 2013, the Company issued $253 million of Class A fixed rate secured notes and $18.8 million of Class B fixed rate secured notes under the Asset Backed Securitization ("ABS") facilities.

Revolving Credit Facilities

        In March 2013, the Company closed a $450 million senior secured revolving credit facility.
