(1) The Company uses an interest rate hedge agreement, or swap, in conjunction with its unsecured floating interest rate $75.00 million, Senior Notes due 2015. The swap hedges the variable LIBOR rates used to reset the floating rates on these Senior Notes. The swap effectively fixes the interest rates on the Senior Notes due 2015 at 6.01 percent. Accordingly, the future interest obligations related to this debt have been estimated using this rate.

(2) In addition to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments in the table above, as of February 29, 2012, we have recorded a provision for uncertain tax positions of $13.21 million. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of future payments, if any, related to uncertain tax positions; therefore, we have excluded these tax liabilities from the table above.
