As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 17% of its shareholders' equity at risk (defined as the excess of collateral pledged over the borrowing outstanding) with Wells Fargo Bank National Association together with its affiliate Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The borrowings outstanding with that counterparty and its affiliates as of September 30, 2013 were $401,404 with a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.17%. Of the amount outstanding with this counterparty and its affiliate, $187,508 is under a two-year repurchase facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association. The facility is collateralized primarily by CMBS IO, and its weighted average borrowing rate as of September 30, 2013 was 1.44%. Shareholders' equity at risk did not exceed 10% for any of the Company's other counterparties. Please see Note 10 regarding changes to the master repurchase agreement for this facility that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repurchase agreement amounts outstanding with 21 of its 31 available counterparties. The Company's counterparties, as set forth in the master repurchase agreement with the counterparty, require the Company to comply with various customary operating and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, minimum net worth, maximum declines in net worth in a given period, and maximum leverage requirements as well as maintaining the Company's REIT status.  In addition, some of the agreements contain cross default features, whereby default under an agreement with one lender simultaneously causes default under agreements with other lenders.  To the extent that the Company fails to comply with the covenants contained in these financing agreements or is otherwise found to be in default under the terms of such agreements, the counterparty has the right to accelerate amounts due under the master repurchase agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2013.
