The Company maintains a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on November 10, 2016.  The Company primarily uses this facility as liquidity back-up for its commercial paper program and has not drawn down any loans under the $1.0 billion facility and does not anticipate doing so. The Company generally uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, funding of acquisitions and the repurchases of its common stock. Under the credit facility, the Company is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.  The Company was in compliance with this covenant and its other long-term debt covenants at June 30, 2014, and it expects to remain in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

On December 4, 2013, the Company issued €300.0 million of 2.125% euro-denominated notes due 2020. The proceeds of $403,776 from the sale of the notes, net of discounts and issuance costs, were used to repay commercial paper.
