&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;12. Derivative Financial Instruments &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Interest Rate Risk &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;The Company is currently exposed to the variability of future quarterly interest payments on its Senior Secured Term Loan (the Term Loan) due to changes in the LIBOR interest rate above the floor rate of 1.75 percent. To mitigate this interest rate risk and also to comply with the requirement of hedging then required in the initial Term Loan agreement, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings in the third quarter of 2010. This hedging requirement was removed when the Term Loan was amended in November 2010. However, the interest rate swaps remained in place as of March&amp;nbsp;27, 2011. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;The Company has approximately $251.1&amp;nbsp;million outstanding under the Term Loan as of March&amp;nbsp;27, 2011. Under the swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million and expiration date of May&amp;nbsp;17, 2013, the Company pays the independent swap counterparty a fixed rate of 2.42 percent and, in exchange, the swap counterparty pays the Company an interest rate equal to the floor rate of 2 percent or three-month LIBOR, whichever is higher. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;As of November&amp;nbsp;9, 2010, due to amendment of the Term Loan, the critical terms of the swaps and the Term Loan were no longer matched. Accordingly, the hedge no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As a result, the mark-to-market of the swaps has been reported as a component of interest expense since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company has recorded a loss of approximately $0.4 million and $1.3 million in interest expenses related to the swaps for the three months ended March&amp;nbsp;27, 2011 and the fiscal year ended December&amp;nbsp;26, 2010, respectively. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 32px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;The location and fair value amounts of the Company's derivative instruments reported in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March&amp;nbsp;27, 2011 and December&amp;nbsp;26, 2010 were as follows: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
