12. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

        In December 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC ("MSCS") at a cost of $0.1 million to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the three-month LIBOR rate at which the Company's long-term debt bears interest. The interest rate cap agreement expires in December 2013, has a notional value of $160.0 million and is not designated as a hedging instrument. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of loss as "Other income (expense), net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) due to the decline in value of this contract during the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. At March 31, 2013, this contract has an immaterial balance included within "Other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

        In September 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with HSBC Bank USA at a cost of less than $0.1 million to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the three-month LIBOR rate at which the Company's long-term debt bear interest. The interest rate cap agreement became effective on September 16, 2011 and expired in December 2012. The interest rate cap agreement had a notional value of $65.0 million and was not designated as a hedging instrument. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of loss within "Other income (expense), net" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) due to the decline in value of this contract during the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

        In September 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with MSCS to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the three-month LIBOR rate at which the Company's long-term debt bears interest. The interest rate swap agreement became effective in December 2012, expires in December 2014 and has a notional value of $65.0 million. This contract was initially designated as a cash flow hedge, however, in connection with the Refinancing, the cash flow hedge was deemed to no longer be effective for accounting purposes and, accordingly, the Company reclassified its unrealized losses of $0.6 million to "Interest expense" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The following table summarizes the beginning and ending accumulated derivative loss for the interest rate swap (in thousands):
