The Company may issue commercial paper to fund general corporate needs, share repurchases, and small and medium-sized acquisitions. The Company has committed lines of credit of $2.5 billion in the U.S. to support the potential issuances of commercial paper. Of this amount, $1.0 billion is provided under a line of credit agreement with a termination date of August 15, 2018 and $1.5 billion is provided under a line of credit agreement with a termination date of June 8, 2017. No amounts were outstanding under these two facilities at December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of these line of credit agreements, which include a minimum interest coverage ratio. The weighted-average interest rate on commercial paper was 0.1% at both December 31, 2015 and 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had unused capacity of approximately $296 million under international debt facilities.

Long-term debt represents obligations with a maturity date greater than one year, and excludes current maturities that have been reclassified to short-term debt.

In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the balance sheet presentation of long-term debt issuance costs. Under the new guidance, long-term debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related long-term debt. The Company early adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2015 and applied it retrospectively to all periods presented. As of December 31, 2014, the Company restated $38 million of deferred long-term debt issuance costs from Other assets to Long-term debt.

Long-term debt at carrying value and fair value as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 consisted of the following:
