[1] The short notional amount on our credit default swap positions is approximately $2.6 billion and $10.0 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. However, because credit spreads cannot compress below zero, our downside short notional exposure to loss is approximately $0.6 billion and $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

[2] The short notional amount on certain of our interest rate contracts with a six month duration is approximately $16.0 billion as of December 31, 2015. We assume that interest rates will not fall below zero and therefore our downside short notional exposure to loss on these contracts is $74 million (of the total $137 million disclosed in the above table) as of December 31, 2015.
