As of December 31, 2013, accrued interest on the Company's long-term debt was reported within “Long-term debt” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Prior to December 31, 2013, the accrued interest on long-term debt was included in “Other liabilities” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The accrued interest on long-term debt has been reclassified in the prior year's financial statements to conform to the current presentation. This reclassification had no impact on total revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, operating cash flows, investing cash flows, or financing cash flows for all periods presented.

The Company's long-term debt presented in the preceding table is subject to certain restrictive covenants, none of which significantly restrict the Company's operating activities or dividend-paying ability. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as there was no occurrence of any event of default with respect to the above securities. Key events of default include: (i) default in the payment of any interest or principal when it becomes due and payable, (ii) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of MBIA, (iii) in the case of certain long-term debt, MBIA Inc.'s failure to make a payment on certain indebtedness in an amount in excess of $10 million, (iv) in the case of certain series of long-term debt, the Company's default with respect to certain indebtedness that results in the acceleration of certain indebtedness in an amount in excess of $10 million, (v) entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a decree or order for relief in respect of MBIA, or in the case of certain long-term debt, National, in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, and (v) commencement by MBIA of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law.

In connection with the BofA Settlement Agreement in May of 2013, MBIA Insurance Corporation received $136 million principal amount of the 5.70% Senior Notes due 2034 as partial consideration for the settlement. These notes were subsequently transferred to National. On a consolidated basis, receipt of these notes by the Company reduced its outstanding debt.

On January 16, 2008, MBIA Insurance Corporation issued $1.0 billion of 14% fixed-to-floating rate surplus notes due January 15, 2033. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the par amount outstanding was $940 million. The surplus notes had an initial interest rate of 14% until January 15, 2013 and thereafter have an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 11.26%. Interest and principal payments on the surplus notes are subject to prior approval by the Superintendent of the NYSDFS. From the January 15, 2013 interest payment to the present, MBIA Insurance Corporation's requests for approval of the note interest payments have been denied by the NYSDFS. MBIA Insurance Corporation provided notice to the Fiscal Agent that it has not made a scheduled interest payment. The deferred interest payment will become due on the first business day on or after which MBIA Insurance Corporation obtains approval to make such payment. No interest will accrue on the deferred interest. The surplus notes were callable at par at the option of MBIA Insurance Corporation on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, and are callable at par on January 15, 2018 and every fifth anniversary thereafter and are callable on any other date at par plus a make-whole amount, subject to prior approval by the Superintendent and other restrictions. The cash received from the issuance of surplus notes was used for general business purposes and the deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the surplus notes. As of December 31, 2013, MBIA Inc., through its corporate segment, owned $13 million of MBIA Insurance Corporation surplus notes. To date, MBIA Insurance Corporation has repurchased a total of $47 million par value outstanding of its surplus notes at a weighted average price of $77.08.

The Company may buy back and extinguish debt originally issued by either MBIA Inc. or its subsidiaries. Purchase prices are generally negotiated through dealers, similar to buying or selling an asset in the open market. The Company repurchases its debt in an effort to improve its own economic position while also providing liquidity to investors of MBIA debt. In all cases, debt buybacks were executed in response to investor or dealer inquiries.

In connection with the BofA Settlement Agreement in May of 2013, MBIA Insurance Corporation and Blue Ridge entered into the Blue Ridge Secured Loan, pursuant to which Blue Ridge agreed to make revolving loans to MBIA Insurance Corporation in an aggregate amount of up to $500 million. During 2013, MBIA Insurance Corporation borrowed $70 million under this facility. MBIA Insurance Corporation used approximately $72 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Claims against the bankruptcy estates of ResCap to repay all outstanding borrowings plus accrued interest and related expenses under the Blue Ridge Secured Loan. In addition, the Blue Ridge Secured Loan was terminated as a result of the sale of the ResCap Claims since the aggregate proceeds of the sale exceeded the Blue Ridge Secured Loan commitment amount, which was reduced to zero under the terms of the facility.

Borrowings under the Blue Ridge Secured Loan had a variable interest rate, at MBIA Insurance Corporation's option based on either: (i) the adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin (“LIBOR Loans”), or (ii) the highest between (a) Bank of America's prime rate and (b) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (c) the adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin (“Base Rate Loans”). The applicable margin for the LIBOR Loans and the Base Rate Loans is 7.50% and 6.50%, respectively. With respect to any available but undrawn amounts under the Blue Ridge Secured Loan, MBIA Insurance Corporation was obligated to pay a commitment fee on such undrawn amounts of 2.00% per annum. The amount of the commitment fee and interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $7 million.
