(1) Variable rate debt instrument. The rate presented is the variable borrowing rate at November 30, 2018. (2) Cintas assumed these senior notes with the acquisition of G&K in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and they were recorded at fair value.

(3) Cintas assumed these senior notes with the acquisition of G&K in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and they were recorded at fair value. The interest rate shown above is the effective interest rate. The principal amount of these notes is $50.0 million with a stated interest rate of 3.88%. Cintas' senior notes, excluding the G&K senior notes assumed with the acquisition of G&K in fiscal 2017, are recorded at cost, net of debt issuance costs. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on general market prices. The carrying value and fair value of Cintas' debt as of November 30, 2018 were $2,723.5 million and $2,715.0 million, respectively, and as of May 31, 2018 were $2,550.0 million and $2,582.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended November 30, 2018, Cintas issued $173.5 million, net of commercial paper. The credit agreement that supports our commercial paper program was amended on September 16, 2016. The amendment increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility from $450.0 million to $600.0 million and added a $250.0 million term loan facility. The credit agreement has an accordion feature that provides Cintas the ability to request increases to the borrowing commitments under either the revolving credit facility or a new term loan of up to $250.0 million in the aggregate, subject to customary conditions. The maturity date of the credit agreement is September 15, 2021. As of November 30, 2018, there was $173.5 million of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.60% and maturity dates less than 30 days and no borrowings on our revolving credit facility. As of May 31, 2018, there was no commercial paper outstanding and no borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Cintas uses interest rate locks to manage our overall interest expense as interest rate locks effectively change the interest rate of specific debt issuances. The interest rate locks are entered into to protect against unfavorable movements in the benchmark treasury rate related to forecasted debt issuances. Cintas used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes in fiscal 2007, fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2017. The amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in a decrease to other comprehensive income of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the six months ended November 30, 2018 and 2017, the amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in a decrease to other comprehensive income of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Cintas entered into interest rate lock agreements with a notional value of $500.0 million for a forecasted debt issuance. As of November 30, 2018, the fair value of these interest rate locks was an asset of $2.3 million recorded in other assets and in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The interest rate locks had no impact on net income or cash flows from continuing operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2018. Cintas has certain covenants related to debt agreements. These covenants limit Cintas’ ability to incur certain liens, to engage in sale-leaseback transactions and to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of Cintas’ assets. These covenants also require Cintas to maintain certain debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and interest coverage ratios. Cross-default provisions exist between certain debt instruments. If a default of a significant covenant were to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital. Cintas was in compliance with all debt covenants for all periods presented.
