The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for aggregate credit facilities of $2.5 billion.

The Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders are parties to a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”). The Term Credit Agreement provides for aggregate credit facilities of $1.5 billion, consisting of a $500.0 million three-year term loan facility (the “Three-Year Term Facility”) and a $1.0 billion five-year term loan facility (the “Five-Year Term Facility”).

(1) 
Outstanding term loan facility borrowings are net of unamortized debt issuance costs.
(2) 
Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the 2018 Credit Agreement and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program of $532.1 million (excluding unamortized discount) (see “Commercial paper program”).

Commercial paper program
We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2018 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility under our 2018 Credit Agreement. As of May 31, 2019, we had $531.4 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.9% and a weighted average remaining term of 17 days.

Subsequent Event
2019 Term Credit Agreement
In June 2019, the Company and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and lender (the “Lender”) entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “2019 Term Credit Agreement”). The 2019 Term Credit Agreement provides for the creation of a $491.3 million five-year term loan facility (the “2019 Five-Year Term Facility”) maturing on June 28, 2024. The 2019 Five-Year Term Facility will be repaid in quarterly payments of principal equal to 1.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Five-Year Term Facility, with the balance due and payable at maturity. We plan to use proceeds from
borrowings under the 2019 Term Credit Agreement to repay in full the U.S. Term A-1 Facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

The obligations under the 2019 Term Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The guarantors under the 2019 Term Credit Agreement are the same subsidiary guarantors as under the 2018 Credit Agreement. We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2019 Term Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees of indebtedness), additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.
