Revolving credit facility

We maintain a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") maturing in 2023 that has a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the capacity to $1.5 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a sublimit of $500.0 million at September 30, 2020. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined therein. As a precautionary measure during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the decision in March 2020 to draw $700.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. In June 2020, we repaid the full outstanding balance of $700.0 million. As a result, we had no borrowings outstanding at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and $250.7 million and $262.8 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and a maximum Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants. Our available and unused borrowings

under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, amounted to $749.3 million and $737.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Financial Services debt

Pulte Mortgage maintains a master repurchase agreement with third party lenders (the "Repurchase Agreement") that matures on July 29, 2021. The maximum aggregate commitment was $360.0 million at September 30, 2020 and increases to $420.0 million during the seasonally high borrowing period from December 28, 2020 through January 15, 2021. At all other times, the maximum aggregate commitment ranges from $230.0 million to $375.0 million. The purpose of the changes in capacity during the term of the agreement is to lower associated fees during seasonally lower volume periods of mortgage origination activity. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. Pulte Mortgage had $249.0 million and $326.6 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was in compliance with all of its covenants and requirements as of such dates.
