The Company reduces its exposure to currency fluctuations through the use of foreign currency hedging instruments, however, hedges are established based on forecasts of foreign currency transactions. To the extent actual amounts differ from forecasted amounts, the Company will have exposure to currency fluctuations, resulting in foreign exchange gains or losses. In 2009, the Company discontinued hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps due to the termination of one of its four outstanding swaps. The remaining three swaps were terminated in the following quarter. From the date hedge accounting was discontinued until the date the remaining three swaps were terminated, changes in the fair value of the swaps resulted in recognition of a $5.7 million gain. The Company impaired $4.5 million of long-term investments in 2009. These investments were carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheet and were deemed to be impaired as a result of the poor financial condition of the underlying companies or funds.
