In anticipation of future debt refinancing in the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount totaling $450.  A forward-starting interest rate swap is an agreement that effectively hedges the variability in future benchmark interest payments attributable to changes in interest rates on the forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt.  The forward-starting interest rate swaps were designated as cash-flow hedges as defined by GAAP.
