References to “TEPPCO” mean TEPPCO Partners, L.P. prior to its merger with one of our wholly owned subsidiaries in October 2009. Variable Interest Rates The following table presents the range of interest rates and weighted-average interest rates paid on our consolidated variable-rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
| Range of Interest Rates Paid | Weighted-Average Interest Rate Paid
Commercial Paper Notes | 0.15% to 0.25% | 0.21%
EPO Junior Subordinated Notes C and TEPPCO Junior Subordinated Notes | 2.90% to 3.00% | 2.95%
Amounts borrowed under EPO’s September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement and September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, at its election, equal to: (i) LIBOR, plus an additional variable spread; or (ii) an alternate base rate, which is the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%, or (c) LIBOR for an interest period of one month in effect on such day plus 1%, and a variable spread. The applicable spreads are determined based on EPO's debt ratings. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. announced a desire to phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of June 2023. Financial industry working groups are developing replacement rates and methodologies to transition existing agreements that depend on LIBOR as a reference rate. We currently do not expect the transition from LIBOR to have a material financial impact on us. Scheduled Maturities of Debt The following table presents the scheduled maturities of principal amounts of EPO’s consolidated debt obligations at September 30, 2021 for the next five years, and in total thereafter:
|  |  | Scheduled Maturities of Debt |
| Total |  | Remainder of 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | Thereafter |

In February 2021, EPO repaid all of the $750.0 million in principal amount of its Senior Notes TT using remaining cash on hand attributable to its August 2020 senior notes offering and proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under its commercial paper program. In March 2021, EPO redeemed all of the $575.0 million outstanding principal amount of its Senior Notes RR one month prior to their scheduled maturity in April 2021. These notes were redeemed at par (i.e., at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of such notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon) using proceeds from the issuance of short-term notes under its commercial paper program. September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement In September 2021, EPO entered into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”) that replaced its September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. There were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement when it was replaced by the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2021, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200.0 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of up to 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement matures in September 2022. To the extent that principal amounts are outstanding at the maturity date, EPO may elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as non-revolving term loans for a period of one additional year, payable in September 2023. Borrowings under the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general company purposes. The September 2021 364-Day Revolving 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 any amounts borrowed under this credit agreement. The September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to the Partnership, if 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 or would result therefrom. EPO’s obligations under the September 2021 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Partnership. September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement In September 2021, EPO entered into a new revolving credit agreement that matures in September 2026 (the “September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement”). The September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement replaced EPO’s prior multi-year revolving credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in September 2024. There were no principal amounts outstanding under the prior multi-year revolving credit agreement when it was replaced by the September 2021 Multi Year Revolving Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2021, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $3.0 billion (which may be increased by up to $500.0 million to $3.5 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of five years, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Borrowings under the September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement may be used as a backstop for commercial paper and for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general company purposes. The September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving 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 any amounts borrowed under this credit agreement. The September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to the Partnership, if 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 or would result therefrom. EPO’s obligations under the September 2021 Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Partnership. September 2021 Senior Notes Offering In September 2021, EPO issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of senior notes due February 2053 (“Senior Notes EEE”). Senior Notes EEE were issued at 99.170% of their principal amount and have a fixed rate of interest of 3.30% per year. Net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and the repayment of debt (including the repayment of a portion of our $750.0 million in principal amount of 3.50% Senior Notes VV and/or a portion of our $650.0 million in principal amount of 4.05% Senior Notes CC, in each case at their maturity in February 2022). 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. Letters of Credit At September 30, 2021, EPO had $88.0 million of letters of credit outstanding primarily related to our commodity hedging activities. Lender Financial Covenants We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at September 30, 2021. Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships The Partnership 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, the Partnership would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of such obligations.
