Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
5. Derivatives | 5. Derivatives The Company manages exposure to changes in market interest rates. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR swap rates, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the Company's interest payments on certain LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes.
