On May 8, 2014, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit to $175.0 million and extend the termination date to May 8, 2019.
The Company entered into a $150.0 million note purchase agreement on January 28, 2014, and issued $50.0 million of Senior Notes on April 15, 2014, with a due date of April 15, 2044, at an interest rate of 5.2 percent.

On May 8, 2014, Centennial entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement which increased the borrowing limit to $650.0 million and extended the termination date to May 8, 2019. The credit agreement contains customary covenants and provisions, including a covenant of Centennial not to permit, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of total consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization to be greater than 65 percent. Other covenants include restrictions on the sale of certain assets, limitations on subsidiary indebtedness and the making of certain loans and investments.
Centennial's revolving credit agreement contains cross-default provisions. These provisions state that if Centennial or any subsidiary of Centennial fails to make any payment with respect to any indebtedness or contingent obligation, in excess of a specified amount, under any agreement that causes such indebtedness to be due prior to its stated maturity or the contingent obligation to become payable, then Centennial will be in default under the revolving credit agreement.

Centennial entered into two separate two year $125.0 million term loan agreements with variable interest rates on March 31, 2014 and April 2, 2014, respectively. These agreements contain customary covenants and default provisions, including covenants not to permit, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of Centennial's total debt to total capitalization to be greater than 65 percent. The covenants also include certain limitations on subsidiary indebtedness and restrictions on the sale of certain assets and on the making of certain loans and investments.
In addition, borrowings outstanding that were classified as long-term debt under the Company’s and Centennial’s commercial paper programs totaled $268.0 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $153.9 million at December 31, 2013, respectively.
