Long-term and current maturities of debt reflect the classification of such obligations at December 31, 2013 after taking into consideration EPO's issuance of long-term senior notes in February 2014 and the use of net proceeds received from the offering to repay debt, as described below.

In January 2014, $500.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes O matured and were repaid using the issuance of short-term notes under EPO's commercial paper program. In February 2014, EPO issued $850 million in principal amount of 3.90% senior notes due February 2024 ("Senior Notes JJ") and $1.15 billion in principal amount of 5.10% senior notes due February 2045 ("Senior Notes KK"). Senior Notes JJ were issued at 99.811% of their principal amount and Senior Notes KK were issued at 99.845% of their principal amount. Net proceeds of $1.98 billion from the issuance of Senior Notes JJ and KK were used to repay debt, including amounts then outstanding under EPO's $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and commercial paper program (which EPO used to repay $500.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes O that matured in January 2014), and for general company purposes.

Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO with the exception of the remaining debt obligations of TEPPCO. If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of that obligation.

EPO Debt Obligations

Commercial Paper Notes. In August 2012, EPO established a commercial paper program under which it may issue (and have outstanding at any time) up to $2.0 billion in the aggregate of short-term commercial paper notes. As of December 31, 2013, a total of $475.0 million of notes were outstanding under this program. These notes matured in January 2014. We intend to maintain a minimum available borrowing capacity under EPO's $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility equal to any amount outstanding under commercial paper notes as a back-stop to the program. All commercial paper notes issued under the program are senior unsecured obligations of EPO that are unconditionally guaranteed by Enterprise Products Partners L.P.

364-Day Credit Agreement.In June 2013, EPO entered into a 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement with a group of lenders (the "364-Day Credit Agreement"). Under the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.0 billion at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

EPO's obligations under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by Enterprise Products Partners L.P. Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement mature on June 18, 2014, although EPO may, between 15 and 60 days prior to the maturity date, elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as a non-revolving term loan for a period of one additional year, payable on June 18, 2015.

The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (affirmative and negative) and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The 364-Day Credit Agreement also restricts EPO's ability to pay cash distributions to its parent, Enterprise Products Partners L.P., if a default or an event of default (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid.
 
$3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.In June 2013, EPO amended the terms of its $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of commitments under the agreement from September 2016 to June 2018 and lower the applicable margin on borrowings. Borrowings under this revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general company purposes.

As defined by the credit agreement, variable interest rates charged under this revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. In addition, EPO is required to pay a quarterly facility fee on each lender's commitment irrespective of commitment usage. This revolving credit facility allows us to request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date, subject to lender approval. The total amount of the bank commitments may be increased, without the consent of the lenders, by an amount not exceeding $500 million by adding one or more lenders to the facility and/or requesting that the commitments of existing lenders be increased.

The revolving credit facility contains certain financial and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The credit agreement also restricts EPO's ability to pay cash distributions to Enterprise Products Partners L.P. if a default or an event of default (as defined in the credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid. EPO's borrowings under this revolving credit facility are unsecured general obligations that are guaranteed by Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and are non-recourse to Enterprise GP.

Senior Notes. EPO's fixed-rate senior notes are unsecured obligations of EPO that rank equal with its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. They are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO. EPO's senior notes are subject to make-whole redemption rights and were issued under indentures containing certain covenants, which generally restrict its ability (with certain exceptions) to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions. In total, EPO issued $2.25 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.75 billion of senior notes during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In March 2013, EPO issued $1.25 billion in principal amount of 3.35% senior notes due March 2023 ("Senior Notes HH") and $1.0 billion in principal amount of 4.85% senior notes due March 2044 ("Senior Notes II"). Senior Notes HH were issued at 99.908% of their principal amount and Senior Notes II were issued at 99.619% of their principal amount. Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes HH and II were used to repay debt, including (i) amounts outstanding under EPO's $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and commercial paper program (which EPO used to repay $550.0 million principal amount of senior notes that matured in February 2013) and (ii) $650.0 million principal amount of senior notes that matured in April 2013, and for general company purposes.
 
Junior Subordinated Notes. EPO's payment obligations under its junior notes are subordinated to all of its current and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the related indenture agreement). Enterprise Products Partners L.P. guarantees repayment of amounts due under these junior notes through an unsecured and subordinated guarantee. The indenture agreement governing these notes allows EPO to defer interest payments on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years subject to certain conditions. Subject to certain exceptions, during any period in which interest payments are deferred, neither we nor EPO can declare or make any distributions on any of our respective equity securities or make any payments on indebtedness or other obligations that rank equal with or are subordinate to our junior notes. Each series of our junior notes rank equal with each other. Generally, each series of junior notes are not redeemable by EPO absent payment of a make-whole premium (while such notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate).

In connection with the issuance of each series of junior notes, EPO entered into separate Replacement Capital Covenants in favor of covered debt holders (as defined in the underlying documents) pursuant to which EPO agreed, for the benefit of such debt holders, that it would not redeem or repurchase such junior notes unless such redemption or repurchase is made using proceeds from the issuance of certain securities.

Remaining TEPPCO Debt Obligations

In October 2009, substantially all of the senior notes and junior subordinated notes of TEPPCO were exchanged for an equal amount of new EPO senior notes and junior subordinated notes. A small number of the original TEPPCO notes were not presented for exchange and remain outstanding. In connection with the October 2009 debt exchange, substantially all of the restrictive covenants and reporting requirements associated with the remaining TEPPCO notes were eliminated.

Letters of Credit

At December 31, 2013, EPO had $2.5 million of letters of credit outstanding related to operations at our facilities and motor fuel tax obligations.

Lender Financial Covenants

We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at December 31, 2013.
