Derivative Financial Instruments - Interest Rate Swap

In April 2011, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap (the "Swap") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, pursuant to which the Company swapped the floating rate portion of its outstanding preferred trust securities to a fixed rate. The Swap commenced in June 2012 and expires in June 2017 and is designated as a cash flow hedge.

The following table summarizes the fair value (including accrued interest) and related outstanding notional amounts of derivative instruments and indicates where within the Consolidated Balance Sheets each is reported:
