On December 16, 2015 the Company entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders that provides a $750 million committed revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility serves as a backup to the Company's commercial paper program. Commitments under the Credit Agreement may be increased to an aggregate amount not the exceed $1.250 billion. The interest rate applicable to borrowing under the Credit Agreement is generally either the adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin (determined by reference to a ratings based grid) or the alternative base rate. The single financial covenant in the Credit Agreement, which the Company is in compliance with, requires that total debt not exceed 55% of total capitalization as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company. Annual commitment fees to support availability under the credit facility are not material. As of December 31, 2016 the revolving credit facility has not been drawn against.
 
The Company also maintains other lines of credit that are primarily used to support the issuance of letters of credit. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions.
