The carrying value of the euro-denominated 1.50% notes due May 2023 and 1.875% notes due November 2026 will fluctuate with changes in the euro exchange rate. The carrying value of these euro-denominated borrowings have been designated as non-derivative net investment hedges of a portion of the Company's net investments in euro functional-currency denominated subsidiaries to offset foreign currency fluctuations.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Borrowings

In December 2016, the Company borrowed $300 million under a five-year term loan agreement ("2021 Term Loan"). Borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan agreement are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates. As of December 31, 2017, the 2021 Term Loan outstanding balance was $200 million with an interest rate of 2.60 percent. In second quarter 2018, $100 million of the borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan were repaid using available cash. In third quarter 2018, the Company repaid the remaining balance of $100 million using available cash.

The Company has access to a $1.25 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") expiring October 2021. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates and a commitment fee is paid on the total unused commitment. The Credit Facility provides available liquidity for general corporate purposes and supports commercial paper borrowings. Commercial paper borrowings are classified as short-term. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2018, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $605 million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.36 percent. At December 31, 2017, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $280 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.61 percent. In October 2018, the Company amended the Credit Facility to increase the available borrowing amount to $1.50 billion and extend the maturity to October 2023.

The Company has access to a $250 million accounts receivable securitization agreement (the "A/R Facility") that expires April 2020. Eastman Chemical Financial Corporation ("ECFC"), a subsidiary of the Company, has an agreement to sell interests in trade receivables under the A/R Facility to a third party purchaser. Third party creditors of ECFC have first priority claims on the assets of ECFC before those assets would be available to satisfy the Company's general obligations. Borrowings under the A/R Facility are subject to interest rates based on a spread over the lender's borrowing costs, and ECFC pays a fee to maintain availability of the A/R Facility. In first quarter 2018, $100 million available under the A/R Facility was borrowed and repaid in second quarter 2018. In second quarter 2018, $25 million available under the A/R Facility was borrowed and remained outstanding at June 30, 2018. In third quarter 2018, the outstanding balance of $25 million under the A/R Facility was repaid. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the A/R Facility.

The Company has access to borrowings of up to €150 million ($174 million) under a receivables facility based on the discounted value of selected customer accounts receivable. This facility expires December 2020 and renews for another one year period if not terminated with 90 days notice by either party. These arrangements include receivables in the United States, Belgium, and Finland, and are subject to various eligibility requirements. Borrowings under this facility are subject to interest at an agreed spread above EURIBOR for euro denominated drawings and the counterparty's cost of funds for drawings in any other currencies, plus administration and insurance fees and are classified as short-term. At September 30, 2018, the Company's amount of outstanding borrowings under this facility were $122 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.50 percent. At December 31, 2017, the Company's amount of outstanding borrowings under this facility were $109 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.31 percent.

The Credit and A/R Facilities and other borrowing agreements contain customary covenants and events of default, some of which require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios that determine the amounts available and terms of borrowings. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Fair Value of Borrowings

Eastman has classified its total borrowings at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 under the fair value hierarchy as defined in the accounting policies in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on current market prices and is classified as Level 1. The fair value for the Company's other borrowings primarily under commercial paper and a receivables facility equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2. The Company had no borrowings classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
