In November 2012, the Company repaid the $59.1 million of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due November 15, 2012.

Mortgage Company Loan Facilities

In July 2012, TBI Mortgage Company (“TBI Mortgage”), the Company's wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, amended its Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Comerica Bank. The purpose of the Repurchase Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage and it is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” The Repurchase Agreement, as amended, provides for loan purchases of up to $50 million, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Repurchase Agreement provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Repurchase Agreement be increased to an amount up to $75 million for a short period of time. The Repurchase Agreement, as amended, expires on July 23, 2013 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum, with a minimum rate of 3.00%.
