Over the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $3.9 million of losses will be reclassified from AOCI as an increase to interest expense.

We have agreements with each of our interest rate derivative counterparties that contain provisions under which, if we default or are capable of being declared in default on defined levels of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.  Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions could result in our being declared in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreements.  As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of interest rate derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $1.6 million, excluding the effects of accrued interest and credit valuation adjustments. As of December 31, 2016, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements.  We are not in default with any of these provisions.  If we breached any of these provisions, we could be required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.9 million.
