Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Borrowings

The Company has access to a $1.50 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") expiring October 2023. 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2021, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $25 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.25 percent. At December 31, 2020, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $50 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.25 percent.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including requirements to maintain certain financial ratios, that determine the events of default, amounts available, and terms of borrowings. In second quarter 2020, the Company amended the Credit Facility maximum debt covenants to reflect the higher cash balance to enhance liquidity due to, and the expected negative impact on operating results of, the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic ("COVID-19") and added a new restrictive covenant prohibiting stock repurchases until June 30, 2021 in the event certain financial ratios are exceeded. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Fair Value of Borrowings

Eastman has classified its total borrowings at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2. The fair value for the Company's other borrowings, primarily under commercial paper, equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of total borrowings was $6.153 billion and $6.449 billion, respectively. The Company had no borrowings classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
