The Company has a $1 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1.25 billion. The facility provides for borrowings through June 30, 2019. The Company has one key financial covenant as part of the credit agreement which is a debt to EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization") ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant at March 31, 2015 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

The Company's commercial paper program allows the Company to issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1 billion. Under this program, the Company may issue notes from time to time and will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under this program at March 31, 2015. At December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $460.9 million under this program, which is classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Notes payable and other short-term debt.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $1 billion.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $1,796.6 million and $750.3 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $147.5 million and $98.7 million higher than their carrying value at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using either observable inputs for identical debt instruments in active markets or observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, respectively, as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying values of the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program approximates fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $27.1 million and $28.3 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
