​ Amounts due within one year consist of the amortization payments for the $500 million term loan B of 1.0% of the original principal balance, as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020, there were no defaults under the covenants related to the Company’s outstanding debt, and the lenders had extended the allowable closure period in the covenant in the credit facility that prohibits closure of the Gaylord Hotels properties for longer than a specified period of time. Credit Facility On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as a guarantor, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as pledgors, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment provides for a waiver of the existing financial covenants through March 31, 2021 and ending on April 1, 2021 (the “Temporary Waiver Period”), amends covenant computations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, and confirms the availability of undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the Amendment contains a covenant that the Company must maintain unrestricted liquidity (in the form of unrestricted cash on hand or undrawn availability under the Revolver) of at least $100 million. In the event the Company is unable to comply with the Credit Agreement’s financial covenants, it expects to further amend the Credit Agreement or take other mitigating actions prior to a potential breach. During the Temporary Waiver Period, the Amendment provides for increased interest and fees, additional restrictions on debt, investments, dividends, share repurchases and capital expenditures, and a minimum liquidity requirement. The Company may elect to terminate the Temporary Waiver Period prior to expiration. Upon expiration or termination of the Temporary Waiver Period, it will calculate compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement using a designated annualized calculation based on the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter or quarters, as applicable. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to use any proceeds from borrowings drawn during the Temporary Waiver Period to fund operating expenses, debt service of the Company and its subsidiaries, and permitted capital expenditures and investments. $800 Million Term Loan (Gaylord Rockies Joint Venture) On June 30, 2020, Aurora Convention Center Hotel, LLC (“Hotel Owner”) and Aurora Convention Center Hotel Lessee, LLC (“Tenant” and collectively with Hotel Owner, the “Loan Parties”), subsidiaries of the entities comprising the Gaylord Rockies joint venture, entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Loan Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Loan Parties, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Loan Amendment modified the Loan Agreement to (i) provide for the ability to use cash for certain purposes, even during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement), (ii) extend the deadline for Hotel Owner to commence construction of an expansion to Gaylord Rockies, and (iii) provide favorable changes to the debt service coverage ratio provisions. Beginning in July 2020, the Gaylord Rockies joint venture was in a Cash Sweep Period pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Loan Amendment includes restrictions on distributions to the owners of the Gaylord Rockies joint venture and requires a certain level of equity financing for a Gaylord Rockies expansion. Interest Rate Derivatives The Company and the Gaylord Rockies joint venture have each entered into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s $500 million term loan B and the Gaylord Rockies joint venture’s $800 million term loan, respectively. Each swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge whereby the Company or the joint venture receives variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Neither the Company nor the Gaylord Rockies joint venture use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently do not hold any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. For derivatives designated as and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. These amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the related variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that $15.9 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in the next twelve months. The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

​ Reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss for interest rate swaps are shown in the table above and included in interest expense. Total consolidated interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $28.1 million and $35.3 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $87.5 million and $100.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $33.6 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the aggregate termination value of $33.6 million. In addition, the Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparty that contains a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.
