Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to certain risks related to its ongoing operations. The primary risk managed through the use of derivative instruments is interest rate risk. In January 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with an initial notional amount of $15,000 to hedge the changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the LIBOR rate associated with the five-year term loan entered into by the Company in March 2011. Under this interest rate contract, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 3.94% and receives a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 1.85%. The notional amount of this interest rate contract is required to be 50% of the amount of the term loan through the expiration of its five-year term.

The Company is exposed to counter-party credit risk on any derivative instrument. Accordingly, as part of its risk management policy, the Company maintains strict counter-party credit guidelines and enters into any derivative instrument only with major financial institutions. The Company does not have significant exposure to any counterparty and management believes the risk of loss is remote and, in any event, would not be material.
