Senior Notes    
Our senior notes, which are unsecured, may be redeemed at our option at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest and a specified make-whole amount. The 8.15% senior notes are subject to an interest rate adjustment if the debt ratings assigned to the notes are downgraded (or subsequently upgraded). In addition, our senior notes contain a change of control provision that may require us to purchase the notes under certain circumstances.
Revolving Credit Agreements
In June 2021, we entered into two separate revolving credit agreements: (i) a 5-year, $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement and (ii) a 364-day $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement. Under the revolving credit agreements, at our option, we can borrow on either a competitive advance basis or a revolving credit basis. The revolving credit portion bears interest at either LIBOR plus a spread or the base rate plus a spread. The competitive advance portion of any borrowings will bear interest at market rates prevailing at the time of borrowing on either a fixed rate or a floating rate based on LIBOR, at our option. The revolving credit agreements provide for the transition from LIBOR and do not require amendment in connection with such transition.

The LIBOR spread, currently 110.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreements and 115.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement, varies depending on our credit ratings ranging from 91.0 to 140.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and from 93.0 to 145.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. We also pay an annual facility fee regardless of utilization. This facility fee, currently 15.0 basis points, under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 10.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving agreement, various depending on our credit ratings ranging from 9.0 to 22.5 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and from 7.0 to 17.5 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement.
The terms of the revolving credit agreements include standard provisions related to conditions of borrowing which could limit our ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, the credit agreements contain customary restrictive covenants and a financial covenant regarding maximum debt to capitalization of 60%, as well as customary events of default. We are in compliance with this financial covenant, with actual debt to capitalization of 33% as measured in accordance with the revolving credit agreements as of June 30, 2021. Upon our agreement with one or more financial institutions, we may expand the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit agreements by up to $750 million in the aggregate, to a maximum of $4.75 billion, across the 5-year and 364-day revolving credit agreements.
At June 30, 2021, we had no borrowings and less than $1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit agreements. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2021, we had $2.5 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and $1.5 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the 364-day revolving credit agreement (which excludes the uncommitted $750 million of incremental loan facilities), none of which would be restricted by our financial covenant compliance requirement.
We have other customary, arms-length relationships, including financial advisory and banking, with some parties to the revolving credit agreements.
Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement
In May 2021, we entered into a $500 million unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement. Under the term loan credit agreement, loans bear interest at either LIBOR plus a spread or the base rate plus a spread. The loans under the term loan credit agreement mature on the third anniversary of the funding date. The LIBOR spread, currently 125 basis points, varies depending on our credit ratings ranging from 100.0 to 162.5 basis points. The term loan credit agreement provides for the transition from LIBOR and does not require amendment in connection with such transition.

The term loan credit agreement contains customary restrictive covenants and a financial covenant regarding maximum debt to capitalization of 60%, as well as customary events of default. We are in compliance with this financial covenant, with actual debt to capitalization of 33% as measured in accordance with the term loan credit agreement as of June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, we had no borrowings under the delayed term loan credit agreement. 

We have other customary, arms-length relationships, including financial advisory and banking, with some parties to the term loan agreement.
Commercial Paper

Under our commercial paper program we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discount basis through certain broker dealers at any time not to exceed $2 billion. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.3 billion, with $1.1 billion outstanding at June 30, 2021 compared to $600 million outstanding at December 31, 2020. The outstanding commercial paper at June 30, 2021 had a weighted average annual interest rate of 0.32%.
Other Short-term Borrowings
We are a member, through one subsidiary, of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, or FHLB. As a member we have the ability to obtain short-term cash advances, subject to certain minimum collateral requirements. At June 30, 2021 we had no outstanding short-term FHLB borrowings.

Bridge Loan Financing
In April 2021, we entered into a commitment letter with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, or Goldman Sachs, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Goldman Sachs committed to lend us up to $3.5 billion under a new senior unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility, or Bridge Loan. If we enter into the Bridge Loan, the proceeds of the Bridge Loan will be used to finance a portion of the cash consideration payable for the KAH transaction. The outstanding Bridge Loan commitments under the commitment letter were reduced to $3.0 billion in connection with the effectiveness of the delayed draw term loan credit agreement in May 2021.
