From time to time, we may also enter into interest rate hedging agreements to limit variable interest rate exposure under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The prior credit facility required us to maintain interest rate hedging arrangements on at least 50% of the amount funded on November 7, 2012 under the credit facility, which was required to be in place for at least a three-year period beginning no later than March 7, 2013. Effective February 25, 2013, we entered into interest rate hedges in the form of a LIBOR interest rate cap for a term of three years for a total notional amount of $45.0 million, thereby meeting the requirements in effect at that time. These requirements were eliminated in connection with our entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in July 2013.
The tables below present the fair value of our derivative instruments, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).
