Interest Rate Caps.  We utilize interest rate cap agreements to manage the interest rate risk on our Warehouse facilities.  The following table provides the terms of our interestrate cap agreements that were in effect as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
Facility (in millions)		Facility Name	Purpose	Start	End	Notional (in millions)			Cap Interest Rate (1)
$	325.0	Warehouse Facility II	Cap Floating Rate	07/2011	06/2013	$	325.0		6.75	%
	75.0	Warehouse Facility III	Cap Floating Rate	09/2010	09/2013		37.5		6.75	%

	75.0	Warehouse Facility IV	Cap Floating Rate	08/2011	09/2015		75.0		5.50	%

(1) Rate excludes the spread over the LIBOR rate or the commercial paper rate, as applicable.

(2)   The notional amount increases to $56.3 million in September 2013 when the original Warehouse Facility III interest rate cap for $37.5 million ends.

The interest rate caps have not been designated as hedging instruments.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the interest rate caps had a fair value of less than $0.1 million as the capped rates were significantly above market rates.
