aggregate principal amount of fixed and floating rate notes resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $6.19 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs. The net proceeds will be used for the repayment of commercial paper, the retirement of certain outstanding notes issued by our telephone operating company subsidiaries and other general corporate purposes. The issuances consisted of the following: $1.0 billion Notes due 2014 that bear interest at a rate equal to three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.61%, $1.5 billion 1.95% Notes due 2014, $1.25 billion 3.00% Notes due 2016, $1.5 billion 4.60% Notes due 2021 and $1.0 billion 6.00% Notes due 2041. In addition, during 2011, $0.5 billion of 5.35% Verizon Communications Notes matured and were repaid and we utilized $0.3 billion of a fixed rate vendor financing facility. During April 2011, we redeemed $1.0 billion of 5.65% Verizon Pennsylvania Inc. Debentures due November 15, 2011 at a redemption price of 102.9% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption and $1.0 billion of 6.50% Verizon New England Inc. Debentures due September 15, 2011 at a redemption price of 102.3% of the principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. The redemption of these debentures resulted in a net loss that was not significant. We also terminated the related interest rate swaps with a notional value totaling $1.0 billion.   Guarantees We guarantee the debt obligations of GTE Corporation (but not the debt of its subsidiary or affiliate companies) that were issued and outstanding prior to July 1, 2003. As of March 31, 2011, $1.7 billion principal amount of these obligations remain outstanding. Debt Covenants We and our consolidated subsidiaries are in compliance with all of our debt covenants. Credit Facility As of March 31, 2011, the unused borrowing capacity under a $6.2 billion three-year credit facility with a group of major financial institutions was approximately $6.1 billion. On April 15, 2011, we amended this facility primarily to reduce fees and borrowing costs and extend the maturity date to October 15, 2014. </div>4.
