Criticized loans may be classified as “nonaccrual” if the Company no longer expects to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days or more.
All larger balance criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are individually reviewed by centralized loan review personnel each quarter to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing.
Smaller balance criticized loans are analyzed by business line risk management areas to ensure proper loan grade classification.
Furthermore, criticized nonaccrual commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are considered impaired and, as a result, specific loss allowances on such loans are established within the allowance for credit losses to the extent appropriate in each individual instance.
The following table summarizes the loan grades applied to the various classes of the Company’s commercial loans and commercial real estate loans.
## Table 2 ##
In determining the allowance for credit losses, residential real estate loans and consumer loans are generally evaluated collectively after considering such factors as payment performance and recent loss experience and trends, which are mainly driven by current collateral values in the market place as well as the amount of loan defaults.
Loss rates on such loans are determined by reference to recent charge-off history and are evaluated (and adjusted if deemed appropriate) through consideration of other factors including near-term forecasted loss estimates developed by the Company’s Credit Department.
In arriving at such forecasts, the Company considers the current estimated fair value of its collateral based on geographical adjustments for home price depreciation/ appreciation and overall borrower repayment performance.
With regard to collateral values, the realizability of such values by the Company contemplates repayment of any first lien position prior to recovering amounts on a second lien position.
However, residential real estate loans and outstanding balances of home equity loans and lines of credit that are more than 150 days past due are generally evaluated for collectibility on a loan-by-loan basis giving consideration to estimated collateral values.
The carrying value of residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit for which a partial charge-off has been recognized aggregated $55 million and $21 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015 and $63 million and $18 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014.
Residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit that were more than 150 days past due but did not require a partial charge-off because the net realizable value of the collateral exceeded the outstanding customer balance totaled $20 million and $28 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015 and $27 million and $28 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014.
The Company also measures additional losses for purchased impaired loans when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition.
The determination of the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses is very subjective.
Given that inherent subjectivity and potential imprecision involved in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses, the Company also provides an inherent unallocated portion of the

Derivative financial instruments As part of managing interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The Company designates interest rate swap agreements utilized in the management of interest rate risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.
Interest rate swap agreements are generally entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and most contain master netting, collateral and/or settlement provisions protecting the at-risk party.
Based on adherence to the Company’s credit standards and the presence of the netting, collateral or settlement provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not significant as of December 31, 2017.
The net effect of interest rate swap agreements was to increase net interest income by $25 million in 2017, $37 million in 2016 and $44 million in 2015.
Information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes summarized by type of financial instrument the swap agreements were intended to hedge follows:
## Table 3 ##
(a) Effective January 2017 certain clearinghouse exchanges revised their rules such that certain required payments by counterparties for variation margin on derivative instruments that had been treated as collateral are now treated as settlements of those positions.
The impact of such rule changes at December 31, 2017 was a reduction of the estimated fair value losses on interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges of $41.1 million and on interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges of $16.3 million.
(b) Under the terms of these agreements, the Company receives settlement amounts at a fixed rate and pays at a variable rate.
(c) Includes notional amount and terms of $2.0 billion of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that will become effective upon maturity in 2019 of $2.0 billion of agreements currently in effect.
