Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movement. To accomplish these objectives, we use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Concurrent with the closing of our amended and restated credit facility, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that is intended to fix the interest rate associated with our term loan of $100 million at approximately 3.08% through its maturity date and extension options, subject to adjustments based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

On January 29, 2016, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap contract with U.S. Bank National Association to reduce the interest rate variability exposure of the projected interest cash flows of our then prospective $100 million seven-year term loan. The forward-starting seven years swap contract had a notional amount of $100 million, a termination date of March 1, 2023, a fixed pay rate of 1.4485%, and a receive rate equal to the one-month LIBOR, with fixed rate payments due monthly commencing April 1, 2016, floating payments due monthly commencing April 1, 2016, and floating reset dates two days prior to the first day of each calculation period. The forward-starting seven-year swap contract accrual period, March 1, 2016 to March 1, 2023, was designed to match the expected tenor of our then prospective $100 million seven years term loan, which successfully closed on March 1, 2016.

On March 23, 2016, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap contract with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to reduce the interest rate variability exposure of the projected interest cash flows of our then prospective incremental $50 million seven-year term loan.

The forward-starting seven-year swap contract accrual period, May 2, 2016 to March 1, 2023, was designed to match the expected tenor of our then prospective incremental $50 million seven years term loan, which successfully closed on May 2, 2016.

debt offering (private placement, investment grade bonds, term loan or otherwise) (anticipated to close on or before March 31, 2017). The forward-starting ten years swap contract had a notional amount of $150 million, a termination date of March 31, 2027, a fixed pay rate of 1.8800%, and a receive rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, with fixed rate payments due semi-annually commencing September 29, 2017, floating payments due semi-annually commencing September 29, 2017, and floating reset dates the first day of each quarterly period. The forward-starting ten-year swap contract accrual period, March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2027, was designed to match the expected tenor of our prospective new ten years debt offering (private placement, investment grade bonds, term loan or otherwise).

On April 7, 2016, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap contract with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to reduce the interest rate variability exposure of the projected interest cash flows of our prospective new ten-year debt offering (private placement, investment grade bonds, term loan or otherwise) (anticipated to close on or before March 31, 2017).

On January 18, 2017, we settled the March 29, 2016 $150 million and April 7, 2016 $100 million ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $10.4 million. This gain is included in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Series D Notes. The forward-starting interest rate swap contracts have been deemed to be highly effective cash flow hedges and we elected to designate all the forward-starting swap contracts as accounting hedges.

On April 25, 2017, we entered into a treasury lock contract (the "April 2017 Treasury Lock") with Bank of America, National Association, to reduce the interest rate variability exposure of the projected interest cash flows of our then prospective new twelve years private placement.

This loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over seven years. The May 2017 Treasury Lock has been deemed to be a highly effective cash flow hedge and we elected to designate the May 2017 Treasury Lock as an accounting hedge.

On November 26, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America, National Association, to fix the interest rate associated with Term Loan A associated with our then prospective First Amendment at approximately 4.13% through its maturity date of January 9, 2021, subject to adjustments based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

Swap Counterparty	Notional Amount		Effective Date	Maturity Date	Fair Value
Bank of America, N.A.	$	100,000	1/9/2019	1/9/2021	$	(1,317	)
U.S. Bank N.A.	$	100,000	3/1/2016	3/1/2023	$	279
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.	$	50,000	5/2/2016	3/1/2023	$	155

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are being recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $1.3 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
