____________________________________________
(a)
$21 million and $18 million of the total $287 million and $293 million obligations are recorded in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. See Note 6 for further discussion of the transaction.
(b)
$11 million and $14 million of the total $168 million and $178 million obligation is recorded in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. See Note 6 for further discussion of the transaction.
(c)
In 2009, we financed 111 real estate surface properties in the Barnett Shale area for approximately $145 million and entered into a 40-year master lease agreement under which we agreed to lease the sites for approximately $15 million to $27 million annually. This lease transaction was recorded as a financing lease and the cash received was recorded with an offsetting long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Chesapeake exercised its option to repurchase one of the properties in 2011 and two of the properties in the Current Quarter.
(d)
In 2009, we financed our regional Barnett Shale headquarters building in Fort Worth, Texas for net proceeds of approximately $54 million with a five-year term loan which had a floating interest rate of prime plus 275 basis points. In the Current Period, we prepaid the term loan in full without penalty. As of June 30, 2013, the building was classified as property and equipment held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
