The increase in debt obligations from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 was primarily due to (in millions): net issuances ($787.4) and changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated debt ($140.1).3Aggregate maturities for 2010 debt balances, before fair value adjustments, were as follows (in millions): 2011-$8.3; 2012-$2,212.4; 2013-$1,006.4; 2014-$707.9; 2015-$675.2; Thereafter-$6,817.7. These amounts include a reclassification of short-term obligations totaling $1.2 billion to long-term obligations as they are supported by a long-term lin e of credit agreement expiring in March 2012.4The carrying value of underlying items in fair value hedges, in this case debt obligations, are adjusted for fair value changes to the extent they are attributable to the risk designated as being hedged. The related hedging instrument is also recorded at fair value in prepaid expenses and other current assets, miscellaneous other assets or other long-term liabilities. A portion ($5.1 million) of the adjustments at December 31, 2010 related to interest rate exchange agreements that were terminated in December 2002 and will amortize as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt325Summary of debt obligations (Detail) (USD $)HundredThousandsUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruetrue
