The derivative asset relates to our option to cause TW Investor to purchase additional common shares (see Note 11, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements") that was settled on July 3, 2012 (see Note 20, "Subsequent Events").

Capitalized debt costs primarily comprise the costs incurred in connection with the issuance of our Senior Notes and Convertible Notes (see Note 4, “Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements”), and are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes and Convertible Notes using either the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, or the effective interest method.
