Secured Revolving Credit Facility The Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the Facility) provides working capital and letter of credit capacity. In October 2017, a Fourth Amendment to the Facility was executed. The Fourth Amendment (1) extends the termination date of the Facility from February 15, 2019 to February 15, 2020; (2) increases the maximum aggregate amount of commitments under the Facility (including borrowings and letters of credit) from $180.0 million to $200.0 million; and (3) includes a condition that allows the Facility to be increased by an additional $50 million to $250 million, subject to the approval of any lenders providing any such increase. The aggregate collateral ratio (as defined by the underlying Credit Agreement) remained at 4.00 to 1.00 and the after-acquired exclusionary condition (also as defined by the underlying Credit Agreement) remained at $800.0 million. The Facility continues to be with three lenders. For additional discussion of the Facility, refer to Note 8 to the audited consolidated financial statements within our 2017 Annual Report. As of June 30, 2018, no borrowings and no letters of credit were outstanding under the Facility, resulting in a remaining capacity of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 2017, no borrowings were outstanding under the Facility; however, $34.7 million in letters of credit were outstanding, resulting in a remaining capacity of $145.3 million. The Facility requires compliance with certain covenants, including negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. Letter of Credit Facilities We have entered into stand-alone, cash-secured letter of credit agreements with banks to maintain our pre-existing letters of credit and to provide for the issuance of new letters of credit in addition to those issued under the Facility. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, total letters of credit outstanding under these facilities were $10.8 million and $10.8 million, respectively, all of which were secured by cash collateral in restricted accounts. In May 2018, the Company entered into a reimbursement agreement with Credit Suisse AG, which provides for the issuance of performance letters of credit, and an unsecured credit agreement with Credit Suisse International that provides for the issuance of up to $50.0 million of standby letters of credit to backstop the Company's obligations under the reimbursement agreement (collectively, the "Bilateral Facility"). The Bilateral Facility will terminate on June 10, 2021. As of June 30, 2018, the total stated amount of performance letters of credit issued under the reimbursement agreement was $26.4 million (and the stated amount of the backstop standby letter of credit issued under the credit agreement was $30.0 million). The Company may enter into additional arrangements to provide greater letter of credit capacity. Senior Notes Our Senior Notes are unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior indebtedness. Substantially all of our significant subsidiaries are full and unconditional guarantors of the Senior Notes and are jointly and severally liable for obligations under the Senior Notes and the Facility. Each guarantor subsidiary is a 100% owned subsidiary of Beazer Homes. See Note 15 for further information. All unsecured Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured obligations, senior to all of the Company's existing and future subordinated indebtedness and effectively subordinated to the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including any outstanding indebtedness under the Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The unsecured Senior Notes and related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of all of the Company's subsidiaries that do not guarantee these notes, but are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries party to each applicable indenture. The Company's Senior Notes are issued under indentures that contain certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, restrict our ability to pay dividends, repurchase our common stock, incur certain types of additional indebtedness, and to make certain investments. Compliance with our Senior Note covenants does not significantly impact our operations. We were in compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures of all of our Senior Notes as of June 30, 2018. In October 2017, we issued and sold $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% unsecured Senior Notes due October 2027 at par (before underwriting and other issuance costs) through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers (the 2027 Notes). Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on April 15, 2018. The 2027 Notes will mature on October 15, 2027. We may redeem the 2027 Notes at any time prior to October 15, 2022, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a customary make-whole premium. In addition, on or prior to October 15, 2022, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after such redemption. Upon the occurrence of certain specified changes of control, the holders of the 2027 Notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a part of the notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The covenants related to the 2027 Notes are consistent with our other senior notes. Refer to the table on the following page for additional details regarding redemption features of the 2027 Notes. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the proceeds of the 2027 Notes, as well as $34.5 million cash on hand, were used to redeem $225.0 million of our 5.75% unsecured Senior Notes due 2019 and $175.0 million of our 7.25% unsecured Senior Notes due 2023, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, of which $3.2 million was a non-cash write-off of debt issuance and discount costs. In March 2017, we issued and sold $250 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% unsecured Senior Notes due March 2025 at par (before underwriting and other issuance costs) through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers (the 2025 Notes). Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semi-annually, beginning on September 15, 2017. The 2025 Notes will mature on March 15, 2025. We may redeem the 2025 Notes at any time prior to March 15, 2020, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a customary make-whole premium. In addition, on or prior to March 15, 2020, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after such redemption. Upon the occurrence of certain specified changes of control, the holders of the 2025 Notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a part of the notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The covenants related to the 2025 Notes are consistent with our other senior notes. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we redeemed our outstanding Senior Notes due 2021, as well as the then outstanding balance on our term loan, mainly by utilizing the proceeds received from the 2025 Notes issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, which is discussed above, as well as cash on hand. This debt repurchase activity resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2017.

Junior Subordinated Notes Our unsecured junior subordinated notes (Junior Subordinated Notes) mature on July 30, 2036. The Junior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at par and paid interest at a fixed rate of 7.987% for the first ten years ending July 30, 2016. The securities now have a floating interest rate as defined in the Junior Subordinated Notes Indenture, which was a weighted-average of 4.81% as of June 30, 2018 (because the rate on the portion of the Junior Subordinated Notes that was modified, as discussed subsequently, is subject to a floor). The obligations relating to these notes are subordinated to the Facility and the Senior Notes. In January 2010, we modified the terms of $75.0 million of these notes and recorded them at their then estimated fair value. Over the remaining life of the Junior Subordinated Notes, we will increase their carrying value until this carrying value equals the face value of the notes. As of June 30, 2018, the unamortized accretion was $37.3 million and will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under our Junior Subordinated Notes. Other Secured Notes Payable We periodically acquire land through the issuance of notes payable. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had outstanding secured notes payable of $4.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively, primarily related to land acquisitions. These secured notes payable related to land acquisitions have varying expiration dates between 2018 and 2019, and have a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 1.56% as of June 30, 2018. These notes are secured by the real estate to which they relate. The agreements governing these secured notes payable contain various affirmative and negative covenants. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any future waivers or amendments that may become necessary without significant additional cost or at all. In each instance, however, a covenant default can be cured by repayment of the indebtedness.
