The fair value of our long-term debt borrowings was $3.8 billion and $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a revolving $1.2 billion five-year credit agreement (our "credit facility") that will terminate on June 30, 2022. This credit facility replaced our $1.2 billion five year credit facility that was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2020. The previous credit facility was canceled immediately after the new credit facility became effective. There were no outstanding borrowings under the previous credit facility when it was replaced.

We have the ability to borrow a total of $1.2 billion through our commercial paper program, which is supported by our credit facility. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding.

Depending on our corporate credit rating, we pay a commitment fee of 8 to 17.5 basis points for our credit facility, whether or not amounts have been borrowed. We currently pay a commitment fee of 12.5 basis points. The interest rate on borrowings under our credit facility is, at our option, calculated using rates that are primarily based on either the prevailing London Inter-Bank Offer Rate, the prime rate determined by the administrative agent or the Federal Funds Rate. For certain borrowings under this credit facility, there is also a spread based on our corporate credit rating.

Our credit facility contains certain covenants. The only financial covenant requires that our indebtedness to cash flow ratio, as defined in our credit facility, is not greater than 4 to 1, and this covenant level has never been exceeded.
