The Company's long-term debt includes various covenants, none of which are expected to restrict future operations.

On November 6, 2015, BorgWarner Inc. issued €500 million in 1.80% senior notes due November 2022. Interest is payable annually in arrears on November 7 of each year, beginning on November 7, 2016. These senior notes are not guaranteed by any of BorgWarner Inc.'s subsidiaries. These notes were designated as a net investment hedge of the Company's investment in a European subsidiary when issued.

On March 16, 2015, BorgWarner Inc. issued $500 million in 3.375% senior notes due March 2025 and $500 million in 4.375% senior notes due March 2045. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. These senior notes are not guaranteed by any of BorgWarner Inc.'s subsidiaries.

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 December 31, 2015 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At December 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. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $215.0 million and $460.9 million, respectively, under this program, which is classified in the 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014, the estimated fair values of the Company's senior unsecured notes totaled $2,197.6 million and $750.3 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $7.2 million and $98.7 million higher than their carrying value at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs 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 $29.3 million and $28.3 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
