The facilities had an aggregate funding capacity of $2.4 billion at June 30, 2017 and are secured by certain residential loans and real estate owned. At June 30, 2017, the interest rates on the facilities were primarily based on LIBOR plus between 2.10% and 3.13%, and have various expiration dates through May 2018. At June 30, 2017, $0.9 billion of the outstanding borrowings were secured by $1.0 billion in originated and purchased residential loans and $440.9 million of outstanding borrowings were secured by $522.5 million in repurchased HECMs and real estate owned. In August 2017, one of the facilities used to repurchase HECMs and real estate owned from Ginnie Mae securitization pools was amended to increase the aggregate and committed capacity by an additional $100.0 million. Borrowings utilized to fund the origination and purchase of residential loans are due upon the earlier of sale or securitization of the loan or within 60 to 90 days of borrowing.

Borrowings utilized to repurchase HECMs and real estate owned are due upon the earlier of receipt of claim proceeds from HUD or receipt of proceeds from liquidation of the related real estate owned. In any event, borrowings associated with repurchased HECMs are due, depending on the status of the repurchased HECM and the agreement, within 120 to 364 days of borrowing, while certain borrowings relating to repurchased real estate owned are due, depending on the agreement, within 180 days or 364 days. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the Company may be required to post cash collateral should the fair value of the pledged assets decrease below certain contractual thresholds or upon reaching certain aging limits. The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with the repurchase agreements in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The amount at risk during the term of the repurchase agreement is equal to the difference between the amount borrowed by the Company and the fair value of the pledged assets. The Company mitigates this risk through counterparty monitoring procedures, including monitoring of the counterparties' credit ratings and review of their financial statements. All of the Company’s master repurchase agreements contain customary events of default and covenants, the most significant of which are financial covenants. Financial covenants most sensitive to the Company’s operating results and financial position are minimum tangible net worth requirements, indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio requirements, and minimum liquidity and profitability requirements. The Company received waivers and/or amendments required as a result of the restatement of its consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and for conclusions reached regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ditech Financial's master repurchase agreements that contain profitability covenants were also amended to the extent necessary to allow for a net loss under such covenants for the quarters ending September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017 as applicable to the terms of each respective agreement. As a result of receiving these waivers, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to master repurchase agreements at June 30, 2017. The Company's subsidiaries are dependent on the ability to secure warehouse facilities on acceptable terms and to renew, replace or resize existing facilities as they expire. If the Company fails to comply with the terms of an agreement that results in an event of default or breach of covenant without obtaining a waiver or amendment, the Company may be subject to termination of future funding, enforcement of liens against assets securing the respective facility, repurchase of assets pledged in a repurchase agreement, acceleration of outstanding obligations, or other adverse actions. The Company intends to renew, replace, or expand its facilities and may seek waivers or amendments in the future, if necessary. The Company has plans in place to strengthen its operating results under its new leadership team, including transformation of its originations business as well as cost reduction efforts and efficiency initiatives; however, there can be no assurance that these or others actions will be successful.
