Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the Facility) provides working capital and letter of credit capacity of $250.0 million with four lenders. For additional discussion of the Facility, refer to Note 8 to the audited consolidated financial statements within our 2019 Annual Report.
On April 27, 2020 (the Eighth Amendment Effective Date), the Company executed an Eighth Amendment to the Facility, which, among other things, (1) reduces the aggregate collateral ratio (as defined in the Facility) from 4.00:1.00 to 2.50:1.00 for period commencing on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date through September 30, 2020; (2) reduces the after-acquired property exclusionary conditions (as defined in the Facility) from the product of the aggregate amount of the commitments multiplied by 4.0 to the product of the aggregate amount of commitments multiplied by 2.5 for the period commencing on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date though September 30, 2020; (3) restricts the repurchase of the Company's capital stock through open market transactions for the period commencing on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date through September 30, 2020; and (4) reduces the aggregate amount of other investments (as defined in the Facility) that can be made by the Company from $100.0 million to $50.0 million for the period commencing on the Eight Amendment Effective Date through September 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, no borrowings and no letters of credit were outstanding under the Facility, resulting in $250.0 million remaining capacity. As of September 30, 2019, no borrowings and no letters of credit were outstanding under the Facility. The Facility requires compliance with certain covenants, including negative covenants and financial covenants. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
Senior Unsecured Term Loan
On September 9, 2019, the Company entered into a term loan agreement, which provides for a Senior Unsecured Term Loan (the Term Loan) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. The Term Loan will (1) mature in September 2022, with $50.0 million annual repayment installments in September 2020 and September 2021; (2) bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.875%; and (3) includes an option to prepay, subject to certain conditions and the payment of certain premiums. The Term Loan contains covenants generally consistent with the covenants contained in the Facility. As of June 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had letters of credit outstanding under these additional facilities of $11.2 million and $14.1 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"). On June 17, 2020, the Company executed an Amendment No. 1 to the Bilateral Facility that extends the termination date of the agreement from June 10, 2021 to June 10, 2022. As of June 30, 2020, the total stated amount of performance letters of credit issued under the reimbursement agreement was $37.5 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.
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 June 30, 2020.

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 4.25% as of June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2020, the unamortized accretion was $33.2 million and will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Junior Subordinated Notes.
