Eaton's new facility to lift backstop capacity

Eaton Corp. said Tuesday a new $500 million revolving credit agreement will boost its commercial paper backstop capacity to $1.7 billion.

The backstop capacity amount excludes remaining capacity under a previously announced revolving credit agreement, the diversified industrial manufacturer said.

The new revolving credit facility, which expires May 2013, replaces two existing agreements worth $300 million that were set to expire this month.
