At December 31, 2013, we had revolving credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $4 billion pursuant to a $2 billion revolving credit agreement and a $2 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in November 2016. As of December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under either of these revolving credit agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of December 31, 2013, our maximum commercial paper borrowing authority as set by our Board of Directors was $4 billion. We generally use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock.
The weighted-average interest rates applicable to short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively. At December 31, 2013, approximately $1.4 billion was available under short-term lines of credit with local banks at our various domestic and international subsidiaries.
On September 27, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2021 Goodrich 3.600% notes, representing $294 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on August 28, 2013. On August 23, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2019 Goodrich 6.125% notes, representing $202 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on July 24, 2013. On June 24, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes, representing $327 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on May 24, 2013. On May 7, 2013, we commenced cash tender offers for two series of outstanding notes issued by Goodrich and the UTC 1.200% Senior Notes. A total of $874 million principal amount of all notes subject to the tender offers, and $36 million of the fair value adjustment related to the notes assumed in the Goodrich acquisition, were repaid, including approximately $103 million principal amount of the 2016 Goodrich 6.290% notes, approximately $98 million principal amount of the 2019 Goodrich 6.125% notes, and approximately $674 million principal amount of the 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes. A combined net extinguishment loss of approximately $23 million was recognized within Interest expense, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As previously disclosed, on December 6, 2012, we announced that we had commenced cash tender offers for six series of outstanding notes issued by Goodrich. These offers expired on January 7, 2013. Approximately $637 million in aggregate principal amount of notes subject to the tender offers and $126 million of the fair value adjustment were repaid, with $635 million in aggregate principal amount being eligible for the early tender premium and approximately $2 million in aggregate principal amount being paid on January 8, 2013. An extinguishment loss of approximately $26 million was recognized within Interest expense, net during 2012.

The three-month LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2013 was approximately 0.2%.
The project financing obligations noted above are associated with the sale of rights to unbilled revenues related to the ongoing activity of an entity owned by UTC Climate, Controls & Security. The percentage of total short-term borrowings and long-term debt at variable interest rates was 10% and 9% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest rates on our commercial paper borrowings are considered variable due to their short-term duration and high-frequency of turnover.
