Interest expense recorded on FHLB advances totaled $86.6 million, $91.5 million, and $93.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Advances with scheduled maturities beyond 2016 reported in the table above include $1.1 billion in advances which are callable during 2012 and have interest rates ranging from 2.27 percent to 4.76 percent.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, Valley modified the terms of $435 million in FHLB advances within its long-term borrowings. The modifications resulted in a reduction of the interest rates on these funds, an extension of their maturity dates to 10 years from the date of modification, and a conversion of the advances to non-callable for periods ranging from 3 to 4 years. Valley similarly modified the terms of an additional $150 million in FHLB advances during January 2012. After the modifications, the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings declined by 0.86 percent to 3.99 percent. There were no gains, losses, penalties or fees incurred in the modification transactions.

The weighted average interest rate of these long-term borrowings was 4.18 percent and 4.27 percent at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense on long-term securities sold under repurchase agreements amounted to $25.0 million, $28.3 million, and $28.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
