Credit Facilities
 
QEP's Credit Facility
QEP’s revolving credit facility, which matures in December 2019, provides for loan commitments of $1.8 billion from a group of financial institutions. The credit facility provides for borrowings at short-term interest rates and contains customary covenants and restrictions.

On December 2, 2014, QEP entered into the Fourth Amendment to its Credit Agreement, which increased the aggregate principal amount of commitments to $1.8 billion, extended the maturity date to December 2, 2019, and made minor adjustments to other provisions and covenants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, QEP’s weighted-average interest rate on borrowings from its credit facility was 2.19%. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, QEP had no borrowings outstanding, had $3.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility and was in compliance with the covenants under the credit facility.

Senior Notes
At March 31, 2015, the Company had $2,221.8 million principal amount of senior notes outstanding with maturities ranging from September 2016 to May 2023 and coupons ranging from 5.25% to 6.875%. The senior notes pay interest semi-annually, are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsecured and senior obligations. QEP may redeem some or all of its senior notes at any time before their maturity at a redemption price based on a make-whole amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The indentures governing QEP’s senior notes contain customary events of default and covenants that may limit QEP’s ability to, among other things, place liens on its property or assets.
