[1]	Our weighted average interest rate calculation includes the amortization of debt issuance costs.
[2]	In December 2016, we used cash on hand to redeem 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of our 2023 First Lien Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded approximately $5 million in debt extinguishment costs related to the partial repurchase of our 2023 First Lien Notes.
[3]	On February 3, 2017, we issued a notice of redemption to repay the remaining $453 million of our outstanding 2023 First Lien Notes using cash on hand along with the proceeds from the New 2019 First Lien Term Loan which contains a substantially lower variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum.
[4]	Our weighted average interest rate calculation includes the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount.
