Secured Revolving Credit Facility The Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the Facility) provides working capital and letter of credit capacity. In October 2018, the Company executed a Fifth Amendment to the Facility, extending the termination date of the Facility from February 15, 2020 to February 15, 2021 and increasing the maximum aggregate amount of commitments under the Facility, including borrowings and letters of credit, from $200.0 million to $210.0 million. 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 $840.0 million. The Facility continues to be with three lenders. For additional discussion of the Facility, refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements within our 2018 Annual Report. As of March 31, 2019, $75.0 million of borrowings and no letters of credit were outstanding under the Facility, resulting in a remaining capacity of $135.0 million. As of September 30, 2018, no borrowings and no letters of credit were outstanding under the Facility, resulting in a remaining capacity of $200.0 million. The Facility requires compliance with certain covenants, including negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. Letter of Credit Facilities The Company has entered into stand-alone, cash-secured letter of credit agreements with banks to maintain pre-existing letters of credit and to provide for the issuance of new letters of credit (in addition to the letters of credit issued under the Facility). As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had letters of credit outstanding under these additional facilities of $10.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively, all of which were secured by cash collateral in restricted accounts. The Company may enter into additional arrangements to provide additional letter of credit capacity. In May 2018, the Company entered into a reimbursement agreement, which provides for the issuance of performance letters of credit, and an unsecured credit agreement 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 March 31, 2019, the total stated amount of performance letters of credit issued under the reimbursement agreement was $36.3 million (and the stated amount of the backstop standby letter of credit issued under the credit agreement was $40.0 million). The Company may enter into additional arrangements to provide greater letter of credit capacity. Senior Notes The Company's Senior Notes are unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior indebtedness. Substantially all of the Company's 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 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 indebtedness under the Facility, if outstanding, 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 make certain investments. Compliance with the Senior Note covenants does not significantly impact the Company's operations. The Company is in compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures of all of its Senior Notes as of March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company redeemed $1.2 million and $3.8 million of the 7.25% unsecured Senior Notes due February 2023 and 6.75% unsecured Senior Notes due February 2025, respectively, using cash on hand, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million, which was net of a $0.1 million non-cash write-off of debt issuance costs. For additional redemption features, refer to the table below that summarizes the redemption terms of our Senior Notes:

Junior Subordinated Notes The Company's 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 5.20% as of March 31, 2019 (because the rate on the portion of the Junior Subordinated Notes that was modified, as discussed below, is subject to a floor). The obligations relating to these notes are subordinated to the Facility and the Senior Notes. In January 2010, the Company 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 March 31, 2019, the unamortized accretion was $35.7 million and will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Junior Subordinated Notes. Other Secured Notes Payable The Company periodically acquires land through the issuance of notes payable. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding notes payable of $2.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, primarily related to land acquisitions. These secured notes payable have varying expiration dates in 2019, a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 1.88% as of March 31, 2019, and are secured by the real estate to which they relate. The agreements governing these other secured notes payable contain various affirmative and negative covenants. There can be no assurance that the Company 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.
