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.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $2,185.3 million and $2,081.4 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $101.7 million and $62.0 million higher than their carrying value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.
