Due to the fact that the inputs used to measure the marketable equity securities at fair value are observable, the Company has categorized the fair value measurements of the securities as Level 1 in accordance with ASC 820-10-35. The Company records its investments in these marketable equity securities on the balance sheet as “Other assets.”The cost, unrealized holding gains or losses, and fair value of the Company's investments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:<div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 17px"><td style="width: 486px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:486px;">(In thousands)</td><td colspan="2" style="width: 112px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:112px;">June 30, 2013</td><td style="width: 10px; text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:10px;"> </td><td colspan="2" style="width: 112px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:112px;">December 31, 2012</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td style="width: 486px; text-align:left;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:486px;">Cost</td><td style="width: 12px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;text-align:center;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;">$</td><td style="width: 100px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> 598</td><td style="width: 10px; text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:10px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;text-align:center;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;">$</td><td style="width: 100px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> 5,207</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td style="width: 486px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:486px;">Gross unrealized losses</td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 100px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> -</td><td style="width: 10px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:10px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 100px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> -</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td style="width: 486px; text-align:left;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:486px;">Gross unrealized gains</td><td style="width: 12px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:left;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 100px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> 298</td><td style="width: 10px; text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:10px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;"> </td><td style="width: 100px; border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;text-align:right;background-color:#CCEEFF;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> 106,220</td></tr><tr style="height: 17px"><td style="width: 486px; text-align:left;border-color:#000000;min-width:486px;">Fair value</td><td style="width: 12px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-style:double;border-bottom-width:3px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;">$</td><td style="width: 100px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-style:double;border-bottom-width:3px;text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> 896</td><td style="width: 10px; text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:10px;"> </td><td style="width: 12px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-style:double;border-bottom-width:3px;text-align:center;border-color:#000000;min-width:12px;">$</td><td style="width: 100px; border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-style:double;border-bottom-width:3px;text-align:right;border-color:#000000;min-width:100px;"> 111,427</td></tr></table></div> During the second quarter of 2013, the Company sold its shares of Sirius XM Radio, Inc. for $135.5 million, recognizing a gain on the sale of securities of $130.9 million. Interest Rate Swap AgreementThe Company's $2.5 billion notional amount interest rate swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge and the effective portion of the gain or loss on the swap is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedging derivative's change in fair value are recognized currently in earnings. In accordance with ASC 815-20-35-9, as the critical terms of the swap and the floating-rate debt being hedged were the same at inception and remained the same during the current period, no ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company entered into the swap to effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The interest rate swap agreement matures September 30, 2013. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and credit quality of, the financial institution which is counterparty to its interest rate swap. The Company may be exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the interest rate swap. However, the Company considers this risk to be low. If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss that was recorded in other comprehensive income is recognized in earnings. The swap agreement is valued using a discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of the future cash flows under the terms of the agreement by using market information available as of the reporting date, including prevailing interest rates and credit spread. Due to the fact that the inputs are either directly or indirectly observable, the Company classified the fair value measurements of its swap agreement as Level 2 in accordance with ASC 820-10-35. The fair value of the Company's $2.5 billion notional amount interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument and recorded in “Other current liabilities” was $27.4 million and $76.9 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The following table details the beginning and ending accumulated other comprehensive loss and the current period activity related to the interest rate swap agreement:<div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 34px"><td style="width: 220px;
