The Company adopted new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2016 which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Upon adoption, the Company reclassified $13,687 from other assets and deferred charges to long-term debt to reflect this guidance in the comparable balance as of December 31, 2015.
 
The Company maintains a $1.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks which expires on November 10, 2020. The Company was in compliance with its revolving credit and other long-term debt covenants at September 30, 2016 and had a coverage ratio of 9.2 to 1.0. The Company primarily uses this facility as liquidity back-up for its commercial paper program and has not drawn down any loans under the facility and does not anticipate doing so. The Company generally uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, funding of acquisitions, and repurchases of its common stock.

On September 16, 2016, the Company entered into a $500 million unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks.  Any borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement will mature on the one year anniversary of the drawing of the term loans.  The Company has not drawn down on the Term Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2016.
