Several of the fixed rate mortgages carry interest rates that were above or below market rates upon assumption and therefore were recorded at their fair value based on applicable effective interest rates. The carrying values of these loans reflect net unamortized premiums totaling $62,000 as of March 31, 2014 and $69,000 as of December 31, 2013.
|

|
|
|

The carrying value of these notes included a principal amount of $350.0 million and an unamortized discount totaling $2.7 million as of March 31, 2014 and $2.8 million as of December 31, 2013. The effective interest rate under the notes, including amortization of the issuance costs, was 3.70%.
|

|
|
|
(10) |
These notes carry interest rates that were below market rates upon assumption and therefore were recorded at their fair value based on applicable effective interest rates. The carrying value of these notes reflects an unamortized discount totaling $734,000 as of March 31, 2014 and $761,000 as of December 31, 2013.

As described further in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, these notes have an exchange settlement feature that provides that the notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash and, at COPLP’s discretion, COPT common shares at an exchange rate (subject to adjustment) of 20.8513 shares per one thousand dollar principal amount of the notes (exchange rate is as of March 31, 2014 and is equivalent to an exchange price of $47.96 per common share). The carrying value of these notes included a principal amount of $575,000 and an unamortized discount totaling $10,000 as of March 31, 2014 and $12,000 as of December 31, 2013. The effective interest rate under the notes, including amortization of the issuance costs, was 6.05%. Because the closing price of our common shares as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was less than the exchange price per common share applicable to these notes, the if-converted value of the notes did not exceed the principal amount. The table below sets forth interest expense recognized on these notes before deductions for amounts capitalized (in thousands):

All debt is owed by the Operating Partnership. While COPT is not directly obligated by any debt, it has guaranteed our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities, Unsecured Senior Notes and 4.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes.
In April 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours defaulted on the payment terms of a $150.0 million nonrecourse mortgage loan secured by two operating properties in Northern Virginia with an aggregate estimated fair value that was less than the loan balance. This loan has an interest rate of 5.65% and is scheduled to mature in 2017.
We capitalized interest costs of $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013.
