Commercial paper has been classified as long-term debt to the extent of available long-term backup credit agreements, in accordance with the Company’s intent and ability to refinance such obligations on a long-term basis.  The weighted-average interest rate of commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2015, was 0.8 percent.  The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding during 2015 was $400.3 million, and the average outstanding during 2015 was $330.3 million.  The weighted-average interest rate during 2015 was 0.5 percent.
 
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had available from its banks a $1.1 billion revolving credit facility.  This credit facility is used principally as back-up for the Company’s commercial paper program and expires on August 12, 2018.  The revolving credit facility is supported by a group of major U.S. and international banks.  Covenants imposed by the revolving credit facility include limits on the sale of businesses, minimum net worth calculations, and a maximum ratio of debt to total capitalization.  The revolving credit agreement includes a combined $100 million multicurrency limit to support the financing needs of the Company’s international subsidiaries.

Public notes totaling $400 million matured in August 2014. On July 15, 2014, the Company further amended its revolving credit facility to provide for a $200 million term loan. This term loan has an eight-year term and a variable rate based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a fixed spread. The Company used this term loan combined with commercial paper borrowings to refinance the $400 million public notes which matured in August 2014.

The scheduled maturities of the Company's long-term debt obligations for the next five years as of December 31, 2015, are as follows:
