DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
Overview –
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2015.
The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows:

Credit risk –
We are exposed to credit-related losses if the counterparties to our derivative contracts default. This credit risk is limited to the fair value of the derivative contracts. To manage this risk, we contract only with major financial institutions that have earned investment-grade credit ratings and with whom we have standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow for net settlement of the derivative contracts. We have also established counterparty credit guidelines that are regularly monitored. Because of these safeguards, we believe the risk of loss from counterparty default to be immaterial.
In addition, our derivative instruments are not subject to credit rating contingencies or collateral requirements. As of November 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $90.4 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on November 30, 2015, we would have had sufficient availability under our available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.
Results of period derivative activity –
The estimated fair value and location of our derivative instruments on our balance sheets are as follows (see Note 4):
