Derivative Instruments

     As indicated in Note 17 – Derivative Instruments, for our NAB Australian Corporate Credit Facility ("NAB Loan") and GE Capital Term Loan ("GE Loan"), we have entered into interest rate swap agreements for all or part of these facilities. These swap agreements result in us paying a total fixed interest rate of 8.15% (5.50% swap contract rate plus a 2.65% margin) for our NAB Loan and a total fixed interest rate of 5.84% (1.34% swap contract rate plus a 4.50% margin) for our GE Loan instead of the above indicated 7.04% and 5.50%, respectively, the obligatorily disclosed loan rates.

Renewed New Zealand Credit Facility

     On February 8, 2012, we received an approved amendment from Westpac renewing our existing $36.9 million (NZ$45.0 million) New Zealand credit facility with a 3-year credit facility. The renewed facility calls for a decrease in the overall facility by $4.1 million ($5.0 million) to $32.8 million (NZ$40.0 million) and an increase in the facility margin of 0.55% to 2.0%. No other significant changes to the facility were made.
