In July 2016, the Company terminated interest rate swaps which had the effect of converting $384 million of fixed rate notes to variable rates.

The unamortized gain related to these swap terminations was $1 million and $2 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, on the 4.625% notes.

The Company may utilize uncommitted lines of credit for short-term working capital requirements.

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

The Company has a $1.2 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that allows the Company's facility to be increased to $1.5 billion with bank approval. The facility provides for borrowings through June 29, 2022. 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, 2019. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 $1.2 billion. Under this program, the Company may issue notes from time to time and use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this program as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $1.2 billion.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the estimated fair values of the Company's senior unsecured notes totaled $2,025 million and $2,058 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $106 million higher than carrying value at December 31, 2019 and $8 million less than their carrying value at December 31, 2018. 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 approximate 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 $28 million and $43 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
