| SUBSEQUENT EVENT                             | 19.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTOn May 4, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a three-year term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement has been designated to hedge an initial notional amount of $632,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its United States dollar-denominated senior secured term loan A facility. The initial notional amount of $632,000 will be reduced according to a pre-set schedule during the term of the swap agreement such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the facility is expected to always exceed the then-outstanding notional amount of the hedge. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding hedged notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the three-month London inter-bank borrowing rate (“LIBOR”) is eliminated, and it will pay a fixed rate of 1.197%, plus a margin (currently 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, as applicable).In addition, on May 4, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for a 15-month term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement has been designated to hedge an initial notional amount of €165,895 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its Euro-denominated senior secured term loan A and B facilities. The initial notional amount of €165,895 will be reduced according to a pre-set schedule during the term of the agreement such that the Company’s outstanding debt under the facilities is expected to always exceed the notional amount of the hedge. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the three-month Euro inter-bank borrowing rate (“EURIBOR”) is capped at a rate of 2%. Therefore, the maximum amount of interest that the Company will pay on the hedged notional amount will be at the 2% capped rate, plus a margin (currently 2.75% for the Euro-denominated term loan A facility and 3.00% for the Euro-denominated term loan B facility, as applicable). |
