Borrowings under the facility with Western Alliance Bank ("Western Alliance") mature on June 15, 2020 and generally bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% or (ii) 3.50%. The agreement governing the facility requires Redfin Mortgage to maintain certain financial covenants. Redfin Mortgage is in default of this facility because it failed to satisfy a financial covenant as of September 30, 2019, but Western Alliance has not enforced its remedy under the agreement of requiring Redfin Mortgage to repurchase all outstanding loans held by the lender.

Borrowings under the facility with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. ("Texas Capital") mature on May 6, 2020 and generally bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the rate of interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the loan minus 0.5% or (ii) 3.5%. Due to Redfin Mortgage's failure to satisfy a financial covenant under the Western Alliance facility, it is in default of the Texas Capital facility. However, Texas Capital has not enforced its remedies under the agreement, which principally include the rights to (i) cease purchasing participation interests in loans from Redfin Mortgage and (ii) sell all interests of Texas
Capital or Redfin Mortgage in any loan subject to the agreement. Redfin Corporation has guaranteed Redfin Mortgage’s obligations under the agreement.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility—To provide capital for the properties that it purchases, RedfinNow, the Company's subsidiary that buys homes directly from homeowners and resell them to homebuyers, has, through a special purpose entity ("SPE"), entered into a secured revolving credit facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The following table summarizes borrowings under this facility as of the period presented:

The facility matures on January 26, 2021, but the Company may extend the maturity date for an additional six months to repay outstanding borrowings. Borrowings under the facility generally bear interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.50%) plus 2.65%. In instances involving "bad acts," Redfin Corporation has guaranteed repayment of amounts owed under the facility, in some situations, and indemnification of certain expenses incurred, in other situations. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company amortized $102 of the debt issuance costs.
