As of December 31, 2014, shareholders' equity at risk did not exceed 10% for any of the Company's counterparties. The Company had $247,115 of its repurchase agreement balance as of December 31, 2014 outstanding under a two-year repurchase facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, this facility was amended to increase its aggregate maximum borrowing capacity to $300,000 and to extend the maturation to August 6, 2016, subject to early termination provisions contained in the master repurchase agreement. The facility is collateralized primarily by CMBS IO, and its weighted average borrowing rate as of December 31, 2014 was 1.01%.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had repurchase agreement amounts outstanding with 20 of its 33 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 December 31, 2014.
