This facility amount represents C$600.0 million, advances outstanding of C$248.0 million, assets pledged of C$373.2 million and restricted cash pledged of C$1.8 million at March 31, 2012.
(d)
The revolving period under this facility ended in October 2009, and the outstanding debt balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the receivables pledged until October 2016 when any remaining amount outstanding will be due and payable.
(e)
Borrowings on the warehouse facilities are collateralized by finance receivables, while borrowings on the lease warehouse facilities are collateralized by leasing related assets.

Our syndicated warehouse, lease warehouse and medium term note facilities are either administered by agents on behalf of institutionally managed commercial paper or medium term note conduits or funded directly by the lenders. Under these funding agreements, we transfer finance receivables or leasing related assets to our special purpose finance subsidiaries. These subsidiaries, in turn, issue notes to the agents, collateralized by such finance and lease contracts and cash. The agents provide funding under the notes to the subsidiaries pursuant to an advance formula, and the subsidiaries forward the funds to us in consideration for the transfer of assets. While these subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial statements, these subsidiaries are separate legal entities and the finance receivables, leasing related assets and other assets held by these subsidiaries are legally owned by these subsidiaries and are not available to our creditors or our other subsidiaries. Advances under the funding agreements generally bear interest at commercial paper rates, London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"), Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") or prime rates plus a credit spread and specified fees depending upon the source of funds provided by the agents. In the syndicated warehouse, lease warehouse - Canada, and the medium term note facilities we are required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under these credit facilities.
Our credit facilities, other than the GM revolving credit facility, contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements, restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements and/or remove us as servicer. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants in our credit facilities.
