⁽¹⁾ Represents the date specified in the agreement for either optional or mandatory early termination which will result in cash settlement.

These derivative financial instruments are comprised of interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The derivative instruments are subject to master netting agreements, however the Company does not have multiple derivatives with the same counterparties, therefore none are offset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company has $150.0 million of unsecured long-term debt that matures in 2014 and $350.0 million of unsecured long-term debt that matures in 2015. In order to mitigate the risk of interest rates rising before new unsecured borrowings are obtained, the Company entered into five forward-starting interest rate swaps during December 2012, for the same ten year periods expected for the future borrowings. These swaps total $300.0 million of notional value, as shown above as assets at March 31, 2013. The Company will settle these swaps upon maturity, which is expected to coincide with the date new unsecured borrowings are obtained, and will begin amortizing the gain or loss realized from the swap settlement over the ten year period expected for the new borrowings; resulting in a modified effective interest rate on those borrowings.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings as a gain or loss on derivative instruments.

The following table represents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
