Derivative instruments we are party to include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges).

In November 2022, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on future borrowings under our Virginia Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7). The forward-starting interest rate swap agreement commences in July 2023 and expires in October 2025 (the "October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement"). The October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement has an initial notional value of $4,800, which is contracted to increase in monthly increments beginning in August 2023 to June 2025 to a total notional value of $153,800. Under the October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement, we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon SOFR, in exchange for the payment of a fixed interest rate as specified in the October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

In March 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These swap agreements expired in March 2022. In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements commenced in March 2022. As of December 31, 2022 we have $350,000 in notional value outstanding on these interest rate swap agreements, which expire in March 2024 (the "March 2024 Interest Rate Swap Agreements"). Under the March 2024 Interest Rate Swap Agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the March 2024 Interest Rate Swap Agreements.

We have designated each of the interest rate swap agreements described above as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets, while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities.

In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged $110,000 at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99,055 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in August 2023 (the "August 2023 Cross Currency Swap Agreements"). In October 2022, one of these August 2023 Cross Currency Swap Agreements was amended to increase the notional value exchanged from approximately 49,500 Euros at an interest rate of 3.6% to approximately 55,466 Euros at an interest rate of (9.5%), resulting in a total notional value exchanged under the August 2023 Cross Currency Swap Agreements of approximately 105,020 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately (3.3%).

In September 2020, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of these cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged approximately $359,200 at an interest rate of 4.5% for 300,000 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.4%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in February 2026 (the "February 2026 Cross Currency Swap Agreements"). In May 2022, the February 2026 Cross-Currency Swap Agreements were amended to increase the notional value exchanged to approximately 340,500 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.2%. In October 2022, the February 2026 Cross-Currency Swap Agreements were further amended to increase the notional value exchanged to approximately 362,083 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 0.2%.

We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as hedges of net investments in certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and they require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. These cross-currency swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The excluded component of our cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis.
