Over the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $3.7 million will be reclassified from AOCL 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 any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. These agreements also incorporate the loan covenant provisions of our indebtedness with a lender affiliate of the derivative counterparties. 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 September 30, 2011, the fair value of interest rate derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $30.6 million, excluding the effects of accrued interest. As of September 30, 2011, 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 $31.8 million.
