Interest Rate Swaps

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges include interest rate swaps related to fixed rate debt. Changes in the fair value of both the derivative and item being hedged are recognized in income.

In March 2008, we entered into two interest rate swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $250 million to effectively convert the fixed rate of 5.60% on $250 million of our notes, due 2018, into variable interest rates. The variable rates payable by us are based on six month LIBOR plus 111.5 basis points. At March 31, 2009, the fair value of the derivatives was an asset of $26.3 million. Long-term debt was reduced by $26.3 million at March 31, 2009. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the derivatives was an asset of $32.5 million. Long-term debt was reduced by $32.5 million at December 31, 2008. The following represents the results of our derivatives in fair value hedging relationships for the three months ended March 31, 2009:

Interest Rate Swaps

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges include interest rate swaps related to fixed rate debt. Changes in the fair value of both the derivative and item being hedged are recognized in income.

In April 2003, we entered into an interest rate swap for an aggregate notional amount of $350 million. The interest rate swap effectively converted the fixed rate of 4.75% on $350 million of our notes, due 2018, into variable interest rates. The variable rates payable by us were based on six month LIBOR less a spread of 22.8 basis points. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the derivative was an asset of $6.8 million and long-term debt was increased by the same amount. In November 2008, we unwound this interest rate swap. As a result of this transaction, we received a total payment of $44.2 million, including accrued interest. After adjusting for interest, we recorded $44.0 million as an increase in long-term debt to reflect the fair value hedge basis adjustment. The $44.0 million will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense over the remaining term of the notes and results in an effective interest rate of 3.2%.

In March 2008, we entered into two interest rate swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $250 million to effectively convert the fixed rate of 5.60% on $250 million of our notes, due 2018, into variable interest rates. The variable rates payable by us are based on six month LIBOR plus 111.5 basis points. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the derivatives was an asset of $32.5 million. Long-term debt was increased by $32.5 million as of December 31, 2008.
