NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.     ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Description of the Business

LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “us,” “we,” or “our”), is engaged in the development of communities and the design, construction and sale of new homes in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada and West Virginia.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2019, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing standards for lease accounting, requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than one year. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted the new standard with a modified retrospective transition approach, so financial information is not updated for periods prior to January 1, 2019. Pursuant to the adoption of the new standard, we elected the practical expedients upon transition that do not require us to reassess existing contracts to determine if they contain leases under the new definition of a lease, or to reassess historical lease classification or initial direct costs.We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for new leases after adoption of the new standard.

The adoption of Topic 842 is accounted for as a change in accounting principle in conformity with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” As a result of the adoption, the most significant changes are related to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities of $5.4 million as of January 1, 2019 on the balance sheet for office operating leases. The Company's existing material leases are all considered operating leases under the new leasing standard and as a result, no adjustment to retained earnings was required.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Certain disclosures are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

8

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment.” (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

2.     REVENUES

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from home sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home sale is closed, title and possession are transferred to the customer and we have no significant continuing involvement with the home. Proceeds from home sales are generally received from the title company within a few business days after closing. Home sales discounts and incentives granted to customers, which are related to the customers’ closing costs that we pay on the customers’ behalf, are recorded as a reduction of revenue in our consolidated financial statements of operations.

The following table presents our home sales revenues disaggregated by revenue stream (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Retail home sales revenues	$	281,465	$	272,038
Other	6,129		6,986
Total home sales revenues	$	287,594	$	279,024

The following table presents our home sales revenues disaggregated by geography, based on our determined reportable segments in Note 13 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Central	$	124,197	$	107,498
Northwest	36,254		57,173
Southeast	52,414		45,108
Florida	28,912		42,443
West	45,817		26,802
Total home sales revenues	$	287,594	$	279,024

Home Sales Revenues

We generate revenues primarily by delivering move-in ready spec homes with our entry-level and move-up homes sold under our LGI Homes brand and our luxury series homes sold under our Terrata Homes brand.

Retail homes sold under both our LGI Homes brand and Terrata Homes brand focus on providing move-in ready homes with standardized features within favorable markets that meet certain demographic and economic conditions. Our LGI Homes brand primarily markets to entry-level or first-time homebuyers, while our Terrata Homes brand primarily markets to move-up homebuyers.

Our other revenues are composed of our wholesale home sales under our LGI Homes brand and Terrata Homes brand in existing markets. Wholesale homes are primarily sold under a bulk sales agreement and focus on providing move-in ready homes with standardized features to real estate investors that will ultimately use the single-family homes as rental properties.

Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers include a single performance obligation to transfer a completed home to the customer. We generally determine selling price per home on the expected cost plus margin. Our contracts contain no significant financing terms as customers who finance do so through a third party. Performance obligations are satisfied at a moment in time when the home is complete and control of the asset is transferred to the customer at closing. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few business days after closing.

9

Sales and broker commissions are incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Sales and broker commissions are expensed upon fulfillment of a home closing. Advertising costs are costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained and are recognized as an expense when incurred. Sales and broker commissions and advertising costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense presented in our consolidated statements of operations as selling expenses.

3.     REAL ESTATE INVENTORY

Our real estate inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2019		2018
Land, land under development and finished lots	$	780,057	$	736,402
Information centers	23,512		21,179
Homes in progress	197,836		149,506
Completed homes	289,450		321,169
Total real estate inventory	$	1,290,855	$	1,228,256

Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case the affected inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including interest and property taxes incurred during development and home construction and net of expected reimbursements of development costs, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method. Costs that are not specifically identifiable to a home are allocated on a pro rata basis, which we believe approximates the costs that would be determined using an allocation method based on relative sales values since the individual lots or homes within a community are similar in value. Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed to cost of sales as homes are closed. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining unsold lots and homes in the community on a pro rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase and concluding with the construction and sale of homes. A constructed home is used as the community information center during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether the property was purchased as raw land or finished lots.

Interest and financing costs incurred under our debt obligations, as more fully discussed in Note 5, are capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development and homes under construction.

4.     ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Accrued and other current liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2019		2018
Retentions and development payable	17,610		18,899
Taxes payable	12,228		10,773
Accrued compensation, bonuses and benefits	8,783		14,263
Accrued interest	7,266		12,339
Inventory related obligations	$	7,245	$	7,041
Lease Liability	5,290		—
Warranty reserve	3,000		2,950
Other	7,090		10,290
Total accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	68,512	$	76,555

Inventory Related Obligations

We own lots in certain communities in Arizona, California, Florida and Texas that have Community Development Districts or similar utility and infrastructure development special assessment programs that allocate a fixed amount of debt service associated with development activities to each lot. This obligation for infrastructure development is attached to the land, is typically payable over a 30-year period and is ultimately assumed by the homebuyer when home sales are closed. Such obligations represent a non-cash cost of the lots.

Estimated Warranty Reserve

We typically provide homebuyers with a one-year warranty on the house and a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems.

Changes to our warranty accrual are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Warranty reserves, beginning of period	$	2,950		$	2,450
Warranty provision	1,095			988
Warranty expenditures	(1,045		)	(838		)
Warranty reserves, end of period	$	3,000		$	2,600

5.     NOTES PAYABLE

Revolving Credit Agreement

On May 25, 2018, we entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which was amended as of June 19, 2018 by that certain First Amendment thereto (the “First Amendment”; such credit agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The 2018 Credit Agreement has substantially similar terms and provisions to our second amended and restated credit agreement entered into in May 2017 with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) but, among other things, provided for, a revolving credit facility of $450.0 million, which could be increased at our request by up to $50.0 million if the lenders make additional commitments, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2018 Credit Agreement (which was requested and approved in October 2018). On October 18, 2018, we entered into a Lender Acknowledgement Agreement with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, whereby the aggregate revolving commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement increased by $50.0 million from $450.0 million to $500.0 million in accordance with the relevant provisions of the 2018 Credit Agreement.

The 2018 Credit Agreement matures on May 31, 2021. Before each anniversary of the 2018 Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The 2018 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of $0.5 million or more. The revolving credit facility is currently unsecured, but we have agreed to provide collateral if we fail to meet certain financial conditions in the future. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing base under the 2018 Credit

11

Agreement was $766.7 million, of which borrowings, including the Convertible Notes (as defined below) and the Senior Notes (as defined below), of $685.2 million were outstanding, $5.1 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $74.7 million was available to borrow under the 2018 Credit Agreement, net of deferred purchase price obligations.

Interest is paid monthly on borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement at LIBOR plus 2.90%. The 2018 Credit Agreement applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 2.65% to 3.25% based on our leverage ratio. At March 31, 2019, LIBOR was 2.49%.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, a leverage ratio, a minimum liquidity amount and an EBITDA to interest expense ratio. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our additional debt and our ability to make certain investments. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the 2018 Credit Agreement.

On May 6, 2019, we entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates and has substantially similar terms and provisions to the 2018 Credit Agreement and provides for a $550.0 million revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $100.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. See Note 14 - Subsequent Event for more information regarding the Credit Agreement.

Convertible Notes

We issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”) in November 2014 pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2019. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a rate of 4.25%. When the Convertible Notes were issued, the fair value of $76.5 million was recorded to notes payable. $5.5 million of the remaining proceeds was recorded to additional paid in capital to reflect the equity component and the remaining $3.0 million was recorded as a deferred tax liability. The carrying amount of the Convertible Notes is being accreted to face value over the term to maturity.

Prior to May 15, 2019, the Convertible Notes are convertible only upon satisfaction of any of the specified conversion events. On or after May 15, 2019 and until the close of business on November 14, 2019 (the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Convertible Notes), the holders of the Convertible Notes can convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon the election of a holder of Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes, we may settle the conversion of the Convertible Notes using any combination of cash and shares of our common stock. It is our intent, and belief that we have the ability, to settle in cash the conversion of any Convertible Notes that the holders elect to convert. The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is 46.4792 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $21.52 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we received notice from holders of $15.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes. The conversion of such Convertible Notes was settled in the first quarter of 2018, resulting in the issuance of 486,679 shares of our common stock, a $0.6 million reduction to debt discount and additional paid in capital, a $0.2 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and a cash payment of $15.0 million for the principal amount of such Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2019, we have $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Convertible Notes were convertible because the closing sale price of our common stock was greater than 130% of the $21.52 conversion price on at least 20 trading days during the 30 trading day period ending on December 31, 2018. As a result, the holders of the Convertible Notes could elect to convert some or all of their Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms and provisions of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes during the conversion period of January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (inclusive). The Convertible Notes continue to be convertible during the second quarter of 2019. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no other conversion notices have been received by us.

On July 6, 2018, concurrently with the offering of the Senior Notes, we entered into that certain First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, which supplements the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, pursuant to which (i) the subordination provisions in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes were eliminated, (ii) each Subsidiary Guarantor agreed (A) to, concurrently with the issuance of the Senior Notes, fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes to the same extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor is guaranteeing the Senior Notes and (B) that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Convertible Notes ranks equally with such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Senior Notes and (iii) the Company agreed to not, directly or indirectly, incur any indebtedness in the form of, or otherwise become liable in respect of, any notes or other debt securities issued pursuant to an indenture or note purchase agreement (including the Senior Notes) unless such indebtedness is equal with or contractually subordinated to the Convertible Notes in right of payment.

Senior Notes Offering

On July 6, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2019, and the Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2026. Terms of the Senior Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture, each dated as of July 6, 2018, among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

We received net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes of approximately $296.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts of $2.3 million and commissions and offering expenses of $1.5 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

Notes payable consist of the following (in thousands):

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Notes payable under the 2018 Credit Agreement ($500.0 million revolving credit facility at March 31, 2019) maturing on May 31, 2021; interest paid monthly at LIBOR plus 2.90%; net of debt issuance costs of approximately $3.4 million and $3.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively	$	311,801	$	290,131
4.25% Convertible Notes due November 15, 2019; interest paid semi-annually at 4.25%; net of debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively; and approximately $1.0 million and $1.3 million in unamortized discount at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively	68,750		68,251
6.875% Senior Notes due July 15, 2026; interest paid semi-annually at 6.875%; net of debt issuance costs of approximately $2.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018; and approximately $2.0 million and $2.1 million in unamortized discount at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively	295,524		295,352
Total notes payable	$	676,075	$	653,734

Capitalized Interest

Interest activity, including other financing costs, for notes payable for the periods presented is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Interest incurred	$	11,417		$	7,193
Less: Amounts capitalized	(11,417		)	(7,193		)
Interest expense	$	—		$	—
Cash paid for interest	$	14,833		$	5,170

Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing costs for notes payable and amortization of Convertible Notes and Senior Notes discounts of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

6.     INCOME TAXES

We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The statute of limitations with regards to our federal income tax filings is three years. The statute of limitations for our state tax jurisdictions is three to four years depending on the jurisdiction. In the normal course of business, we are subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income taxes. We do not expect the outcome of any audit to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit adjustments are subject to significant uncertainty.

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2019, our effective tax rate of 15.5% is lower than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the deductions in excess of compensation cost (“windfalls”) for share-based payments, offset by an increase in rate for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit payments.

13

Income taxes paid were $0.2 million and $42.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

7.     EQUITY

Shelf Registration Statement

On August 24, 2018, we and certain of our subsidiaries filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-227012), registering the offering and sale of an indeterminate amount of debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, warrants, depositary shares, purchase contracts and units that include any of these securities.

8.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Numerator (in thousands):
Net Income (Numerator for basic and dilutive earnings per share)	$	18,334	$	27,302
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	22,744,726		22,188,121
Effect of dilutive securities:
Convertible Notes - treasury stock method	2,043,494		2,217,336
Stock-based compensation units	297,963		366,570
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	25,086,183		24,772,027
Basic earnings per share	$	0.81	$	1.23
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.73	$	1.10
Antidilutive non-vested restricted stock units excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per share	35,157		25,106

In accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, we calculated the dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method, since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes in cash. Under the treasury stock method, the Convertible Notes have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share to the extent that the average market price of our common stock for a reporting period exceeds the conversion price of $21.52 per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the average market price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of $21.52 per share. Included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share was the effect of approximately 2.0 million and 2.2 million shares of our common stock related to the conversion spread of the Convertible Notes for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

9.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Non-performance Based Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes the activity of our time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019				2018
	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Beginning balance	171,055		$	39.04	175,100		$	27.66
Granted	47,245		$	56.49	35,048		$	64.60
Vested	(40,265	)	$	21.82	(31,021	)	$	14.75
Forfeited	(2,026	)	$	48.61	(2,611	)	$	30.68
Ending balance	176,009		$	47.59	176,516		$	37.22

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2019, we issued 20,847 RSUs to senior management for the time-based portion of our 2019 long-term incentive compensation program, 16,159 RSUs for 2018 bonuses to managers under our Annual Bonus Plan and 10,239 RSUs to other employees. Generally, the RSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and can only be settled in shares of our common stock.

We recognized $0.5 million and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2019, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $5.4 million related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has granted awards of Performance-Based RSUs (“PSUs”) under the Amended and Restated LGI Homes, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to certain members of senior management based on the three-year performance cycles. The PSUs provide for shares of our common stock to be issued based on the attainment of certain performance metrics over the applicable three-year periods. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued to the recipients for the PSUs range from 0% to 200% of the target amount depending on actual results as compared to the target performance metrics. The terms of the PSUs provide that the payouts will be capped at 100% of the target number of PSUs granted if absolute total stockholder return is negative during the performance period, regardless of EPS performance; this market condition applies for amounts recorded above target. The compensation expense associated with the PSU grants is determined using the derived grant date fair value, based on a third-party valuation analysis, and expensed over the applicable period. The PSUs vest upon the determination date for the actual results at the end of the three-year period and require that the recipients continue to be employed by us through the determination date. The PSUs can only be settled in shares of our common stock.

The following table summarizes the activity of our PSUs for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019:

Period Granted	Performance Period	Target PSUs Outstanding at December 31, 2018	Target PSUs Granted	Target PSUs Vested		Target PSUs Forfeited	Target PSUs Outstanding at March 31, 2019	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
2016	2016 - 2018	83,656	—	(83,656	)	—	—	$	21.79
2017	2017 - 2019	108,247	—	—		—	108,247	$	31.64
2018	2018 - 2020	61,898	—	—		—	61,898	$	64.60
2019	2019 - 2021	—	83,367	—		—	83,367	$	56.49
Total		253,801	83,367	(83,656	)	—	253,512

At March 31, 2019, management estimates that the recipients will receive approximately 100%, 100% and 196% of the 2019, 2018 and 2017 target number of PSUs, respectively, at the end of the applicable three-year performance cycle based on projected performance compared to the target performance metrics. We recognized $1.2 million and $0.9 million of total stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. PSUs granted in 2016 vested on March 31, 2019 at 200% of the target amount, and 167,312 shares of our common stock were issued

15

upon such vesting. At March 31, 2019, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $9.0 million, based on the probable amount, related to unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

10.    FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that differs from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 - Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Fair value is determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for

similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3 - Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the

measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow or similar technique.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2019, our revolving credit facility’s carrying value approximates market value since it has a floating interest rate, which increases or decreases with market interest rates and our leverage ratio.

In order to determine the fair value of the Convertible Notes and the Senior Notes listed below, the future contractual cash flows are discounted at our estimate of current market rates of interest, which were determined based upon the average interest rates of similar convertible notes and senior notes within the homebuilding industry (Level 2 measurement).

The following table below shows the level and measurement of liabilities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

		March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value (1)		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value (1)
Convertible Notes	Level 2	$	68,750	$	68,996	$	68,251	$	67,787
Senior Notes	Level 2	$	295,524	$	305,528	$	295,352	$	296,905

(1) Excludes the fair value of the equity component of the Convertible Notes. See the “Convertible Notes” section within Note 5 for further details.

11.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Land Purchases from Affiliates

As of March 31, 2019, we have two land purchase contracts to purchase a total of 198 finished lots in Pasco County and Manatee County, Florida from affiliates of one of our directors for a total base purchase price of approximately $6.9 million. The lots will be purchased in takedowns, subject to annual price escalation ranging from 3% to 6% per annum, and may provide for additional payments to the seller at the time of sale to the homebuyer. We have a $0.7 million non-refundable deposit at March 31, 2019 related to these land purchase contracts. We anticipate the first closing on the Pasco County contract to occur in the second quarter of 2019 and first closing on the Manatee County contract to occur in the third quarter of 2020.

12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development and sale of real estate and homes and other aspects of our homebuilding operations. Management believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers and residential home builders in the normal course of business.

16

In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and other counterparties. In each case, we have performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate us to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, we may have recourse against other previous owners. In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to regulatory proceedings from time to time related to environmental and other matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Land Deposits

We have land purchase contracts, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property, and obligations with respect to the land purchase contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related nonrefundable cash deposits. The following is a summary of our land purchase deposits included in pre-acquisition costs and deposits (in thousands, except for lot count):

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Land deposits and option payments	$	39,390	$	40,015
Commitments under the land purchase contracts if the purchases are consummated	$	673,929	$	776,224
Lots under land purchase contracts	20,722		22,820

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately $27.2 million and $25.2 million, respectively, of the land deposits are related to purchase contracts to deliver finished lots that are refundable under certain circumstances, such as feasibility or specific performance, and secured by mortgages, or letters of credit or guaranteed by the seller or its affiliates.

Lease Obligations

As described in the “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards” section within Note 1, as of January 1, 2019, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and recognized lease obligations and associated ROU assets for our existing non-cancelable leases. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our corporate and regional office facilities.  Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets, as included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.1 million as of March 31, 2019. Lease obligations, as included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.3 million as of March 31, 2019.

Operating lease cost, as included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.3 million. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.3 million. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average discount rate was 5.73% and our weighted-average remaining life was 8.1 years.

The Company does not have any significant lease contracts that have not yet commenced at March 31, 2019. The table below shows the future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases at March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

17

Year Ending December 31,	Operating leases

2020	927
2021	926
2022	799
2023	722
Thereafter	2,838
Total	6,946
Lease amount representing interest	(1,656		)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	5,290

Bonding and Letters of Credit

We have outstanding letters of credit and performance and surety bonds totaling $78.8 million (including $5.1 million of letters of credit issued under the 2018 Credit Agreement) and $77.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to our obligations for site improvements at various projects. Management does not believe that draws upon the letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees if any, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13.     SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, we changed our reportable segments to Central, Northwest, Southeast, Florida, and West. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations. Prior period information has been restated for corresponding items of our segment information.

We operate one principal homebuilding business that is organized and reports by division. We have seven operating segments (our Central, Midwest, Northwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, and West divisions) that we aggregate into five reportable segments at March 31, 2019: our Central, Northwest, Southeast, Florida, and West divisions. The Central division is our largest division and comprised approximately 43% and 39% of total home sales revenues for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODMs primarily evaluate performance based on the number of homes closed, gross margin and average sales price.

The seven operating segments qualify as our five reportable segments. In determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we consider operating segments’ economic and other characteristics, including home floor plans, average selling prices, gross margin percentage, geographical proximity, production construction processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, customer type and underlying demand and supply. Each operating segment follows the same accounting policies and is managed by our management team. We have no inter-segment sales, as all sales are to external customers. Operating results for each segment may not be indicative of the results for such segment had it been an independent, stand-alone entity for the periods presented.

Financial information relating to our reportable segments was as follows (in thousands):

(1) Gross margin is home sales revenues less cost of sales.

(2) Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.

(3) Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. Please see “—Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.

(4) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) other income, net and (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting. Our management believes that the

21

presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that these measures are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define these measures differently and, as a result, our measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of these measures is limited because they do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Please see “—Non-GAAP Measures” for reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.

Three Months Ended March 31,2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,2018

Homes Sales. Our home sales revenues, home closings, average sales price (ASP), average community count, average monthly absorption rate and closing community count by reportable segment for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (revenues in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Home sales revenues for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 were $287.6 million, an increase of $8.6 million, or 3.1%, from $279.0 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. The increase in home sales revenues is primarily due to a 4.4% increase in the average sales price per home during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, partially offset by a decrease in home closings by 1.3%. The average sales price per home closed during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 was $234,197, an increase of $9,901, or 4.4%, from the average sales price per home of $224,296 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. This increase in the average sales price per home was primarily due to changes in product mix, higher price points in certain new markets and increases in sales prices in existing communities.

We increased our home sales revenues in our Central reportable segment by $16.7 million, or 15.5%, during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, representing a 10.9% increase in the number of homes closed in this reportable segment during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Revenues in our West reportable segment increased by $19.0 million, or 70.9%, primarily due to community count associated with our geographic expansion into our California and Nevada markets. Revenues in our Northwest and Florida reportable segments decreased by $20.9 million and $13.5 million, or 36.6% and 31.9%, respectively, due to close out or transition

23

between certain of its active communities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Our active selling communities at March 31, 2019 increased to 87 from 79 at March 31, 2018. Half of the active selling communities added between March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 were outside of our Central reportable segment, contributing to the further geographic diversification of our business. All reportable segments maintained or added communities by expanding into new markets or deepening existing markets with the exception of the Florida reportable segment, which had two fewer active communities due to close out or transition between certain of its active communities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (home sales revenues less cost of sales). Cost of sales increased for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 to $221.3 million, an increase of $11.5 million, or 5.5%, from $209.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. This increase is primarily due to construction costs, product mix and lot costs during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. In addition, there was an increase in construction overhead due to additional personnel and costs associated with geographic and community count expansion during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Gross margin for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 was $66.3 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 4.3%, from $69.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues was 23.1% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 24.8% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. This decrease in gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues is primarily due to a combination of higher construction costs, construction overhead, lot costs and to a lesser degree purchase accounting, partially offset by higher average home sales price for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 were $26.8 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 16.7%, from $22.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Sales commissions increased to $11.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 from $11.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, largely due to a 3.1% increase in home sales revenues during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 9.3% and 8.2% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues reflects increased personnel, advertising, and selling expenses primarily associated with new communities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 were $18.4 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 19.4%, from $15.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased personnel associated with an increase of active communities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 6.4% and 5.5% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues reflects additional costs realized from the increase of personnel associated with the increase of community count during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018.

Operating Income, Net Income before Income Taxes and Net Income. Operating income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 was $21.1 million, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 31.7%, from $30.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. Net income before income taxes for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 was $21.7 million, a decrease of $9.5 million, or 30.5%, from $31.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. The following reportable segments contributed to net income before income taxes during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019: Central - $14.6 million or 67.5%; Northwest - $3.4 million or 15.6%; Florida - $1.2 million or 5.6%; Southeast - $0.4 million or 1.9%; and West - $3.1 million or 14.3%. Net income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 was $18.3 million, a decrease of $9.0 million, or 32.8%, from $27.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. The decreases in operating income, net income before income taxes and net income are primarily attributed to lower gross margin, increased advertising and additional costs realized from the increase of personnel associated with the increase of community count and start-up costs in the Southeast, partially offset by a higher average sales price realized, for operating income, net income before income taxes and net income during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have provided information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to adjusted gross margin, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

24

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance.

The following table reconciles adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Home sales revenues	$	287,594		$	279,024
Cost of sales	221,290			209,765
Gross margin	66,304			69,259
Capitalized interest charged to cost of sales	5,394			4,312
Purchase accounting adjustments (1)	630			(3		)
Adjusted gross margin	$	72,328		$	73,568
Gross margin % (2)	23.1		%	24.8		%
Adjusted gross margin % (2)	25.1		%	26.4		%

(1) Adjustments result from the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions and represent the amount of the fair value step-up adjustments included in cost of sales for real estate inventory sold after the acquisition dates.

(2) Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) other income, net and (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that these measures are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define these measures differently and, as a result, our measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of these measures is limited because they do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

(i) they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, including for purchase of land;

(ii) they do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

(iii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements or improvements;

25

(iv) they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

(v) they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

(vi) other companies in our industry may calculate them differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, our EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using our EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These GAAP measures include operating income, net income and cash flow data. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in our EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to net income as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on our EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA calculated using these measures.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the GAAP measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Net income	$	18,334		$	27,302
Income taxes	3,360			3,925

Adjusted EBITDA	$	27,264		$	35,359
EBITDA margin %(2)	9.5		%	12.8		%
Adjusted EBITDA margin %(2)	9.5		%	12.7		%

(1) Adjustments result from the application of purchase accounting related to prior acquisitions and represent the amount of the fair value step-up adjustments for real estate inventory included in cost of sales.

(2) Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.

Backlog

We sell our homes under standard purchase contracts, which generally require a homebuyer to pay a deposit at the time of signing the purchase contract. The amount of the required deposit is minimal (generally $1,000). The deposits are refundable if the retail homebuyer is unable to obtain mortgage financing. We permit our retail homebuyers to cancel the purchase contract and obtain a refund of their deposit in the event mortgage financing cannot be obtained within a certain period of time, as specified in their purchase contract. Typically, our retail homebuyers provide documentation regarding their ability to obtain mortgage financing within 14 days after the purchase contract is signed. If we determine that the homebuyer is not qualified to obtain mortgage financing or is not otherwise financially able to purchase the home, we will terminate the purchase contract. If a purchase contract has not been cancelled or terminated within 14 days after the purchase contract has been signed, then the homebuyer has met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing. Only purchase contracts that are signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing are included in new (gross) orders.

Our “backlog” consists of homes that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts for which the required deposit has been made. Since our business model is generally based on building move-in ready homes before a purchase contract is signed, the majority of our homes in backlog are currently under construction or complete. Ending backlog represents the number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus the number of net orders (new orders for homes less cancellations) generated during the current period minus the number of homes closed during the current period. Our backlog at any given time will be affected by cancellations, the number of our active communities and the timing of home closings. Homes in backlog are generally closed within one to two months, although we may experience cancellations of purchase contracts at any time prior to closing. It is important to note that net orders, backlog and cancellation metrics are operational, rather than accounting data, and should be

26

used only as a general gauge to evaluate performance. Backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, and in light of our minimal required deposit, there is little negative impact to the potential homebuyer from the cancellation of the purchase contract.

As of the dates set forth below, our net orders, cancellation rate and ending backlog homes and value were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Backlog Data	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019 (4)			2018 (5)
Net orders (1)	1,948			1,798
Cancellation rate (2)	17.4		%	20.6		%
Ending backlog – homes (3)	1,344			1,370
Ending backlog – value (3)	$	328,588		$	357,870

(1) Net orders are new (gross) orders for the purchase of homes during the period, less cancellations of existing purchase contracts during the period.

(2) Cancellation rate for a period is the total number of purchase contracts cancelled during the period divided by the total new (gross) orders for the purchase of homes during the period.

(3) Ending backlog consists of homes at the end of the period that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met our preliminary financing criteria but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts for which the required deposit has been made. Ending backlog is valued at the contract amount.

(4) 67 units and values related to bulk sales agreements are not included in the table above.

(5) 70 units and values related to bulk sales agreements are not included in the table above.

Land Acquisition Policies and Development

We decreased our active communities to 87 as of March 31, 2019 from 88 as of December 31, 2018. We also decreased our lot inventory to 50,700 owned or controlled lots as of March 31, 2019 from 51,442 owned or controlled lots as of December 31, 2018.

The table below shows (i) home closings by reportable segment for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and (ii) our owned or controlled lots by reportable segment as of March 31, 2019.

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019	As of March 31, 2019
Reportable Segment	Home Closings	Owned (1)	Controlled	Total
Central	578	15,497	7,168	22,665
Northwest	99	1,913	1,990	3,903
Southeast	230	7,957	9,069	17,026
Florida	142	2,541	1,185	3,726
West	179	2,070	1,310	3,380
Total	1,228	29,978	20,722	50,700

(1) Of the 29,978 owned lots as of March 31, 2019, 18,087 were raw/under development lots and 11,891 were finished lots.

Homes in Inventory

When entering a new community, we build a sufficient number of move-in ready homes to meet our budgets. We base future home starts on closings. As homes are closed, we start more homes to maintain our inventory. As of March 31, 2019, we had a total of 1,697 completed homes, including information centers, and 1,594 homes in progress.

27

Raw Materials and Labor

When constructing homes, we use various materials and components. We generally contract for our materials and labor at a fixed price for the anticipated construction period of our homes. This allows us to mitigate the risks associated with increases in building materials and labor costs between the time construction begins on a home and the time it is closed. Typically, the raw materials and most of the components used in our business are readily available in the United States. In addition, the majority of our raw materials is supplied to us by our subcontractors, and is included in the price of our contract with such subcontractors. Most of the raw materials necessary for our subcontractors are standard items carried by major suppliers. Substantially all of our construction work is done by third-party subcontractors, most of whom are non-unionized. We continue to monitor the supply markets to achieve the best prices available. Typically, the price changes that most significantly influence our operations are price increases in labor, commodities and lumber.

Seasonality

In all of our divisions, we have historically experienced similar variability in our results of operations and in capital requirements from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally close more homes in our second, third and fourth quarters. Thus, our revenue may fluctuate on a quarterly basis and we may have higher capital requirements in our second, third and fourth quarters in order to maintain our inventory levels. Our revenue and capital requirements are generally similar across our second, third and fourth quarters.

As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular quarter, especially the first quarter, are not necessarily representative of the results we expect at year end. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue in the long term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2019, we had $35.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows for each of our active communities depend on the status of the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, land development, plats, vertical development, construction of information centers, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of home sales revenues. In the later stages of an active community, cash inflows may exceed home sales revenues reported for financial statement purposes, as the costs associated with home and land construction were previously incurred.

Our principal uses of capital are operating expenses, land and lot purchases, lot development, home construction, interest costs on our indebtedness and the payment of various liabilities. In addition, we may purchase land, lots, homes under construction or other assets as part of an acquisition.

We generally rely on our ability to finance our operations by generating operating cash flows, borrowing under our revolving credit facility or the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock. As needed, we will consider accessing the debt and equity capital markets as part of our ongoing financing strategy. We also rely on our ability to obtain performance, payment and completion surety bonds as well as letters of credit to finance our projects.

On August 24, 2018, we and certain of our subsidiaries filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-227012), registering the offering and sale of an indeterminate amount of debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, warrants, depositary shares, purchase contracts and units that include any of these securities. Under the shelf registration statement, we have the ability to access the debt and equity capital markets as needed as part of our ongoing financing strategy.

We believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available from our revolving credit facility or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 25, 2018, we entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which was amended as of June 19, 2018 by that certain First Amendment thereto (the “First Amendment”; such credit agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The 2018 Credit Agreement has substantially similar terms and provisions to our second amended and restated credit agreement entered into in May 2017 with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) but, among other things, provided for, a revolving credit facility of $450.0 million, which could be increased at our request by up to $50.0 million if the lenders make additional commitments, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2018 Credit Agreement (which was requested and approved in October 2018). On October 18,

28

2018, we entered into a Lender Acknowledgement Agreement with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, whereby the aggregate revolving commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement increased by $50.0 million from $450.0 million to $500.0 million in accordance with the relevant provisions of the 2018 Credit Agreement.

The 2018 Credit Agreement matures on May 31, 2021. Before each anniversary of the closing of the 2018 Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The 2018 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of $0.5 million. The revolving credit facility is currently unsecured, but we have agreed to provide collateral if we fail to meet certain financial conditions in the future. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing base under the 2018 Credit Agreement was $766.7 million, of which borrowings, including the Convertible Notes (as defined below) and the Senior Notes (as defined below), of $685.2 million were outstanding, $5.1 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $74.7 million was available to borrow under the 2018 Credit Agreement, net of deferred purchase price obligations.

The 2018 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain (i) a tangible net worth of not less than $400.0 million plus 75% of the net proceeds of all equity issuances plus 50% of the amount of our positive net income in any fiscal quarter after December 31, 2017, (ii) a leverage ratio of not greater than 64.0%, (iii) liquidity of at least $50.0 million and (iv) a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters of at least 2.50 to 1.00. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our additional debt and our ability to make certain investments. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the 2018 Credit Agreement.

On May 6, 2019, we entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates and has substantially similar terms and provisions to the 2018 Credit Agreement and provides for a $550.0 million revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $100.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. See Note 14 - Subsequent Event for more information regarding the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2019, the Credit Agreement increases our available borrowing base from $74.7 million to $116.5 million on a proforma basis as compared to the available borrowing base under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

Convertible Notes

We issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”) in November 2014 pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”). The Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2019. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a rate of 4.25%. When the Convertible Notes were issued, the fair value of $76.5 million was recorded to notes payable. $5.5 million of the remaining proceeds was recorded to additional paid in capital to reflect the equity component and the remaining $3.0 million was recorded as a deferred tax liability. The carrying amount of the Convertible Notes is being accreted to face value over the term to maturity.

Prior to May 15, 2019, the Convertible Notes are convertible only upon satisfaction of any of the specified conversion events. On or after May 15, 2019 and until the close of business on November 14, 2019 (the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Convertible Notes), the holders of Convertible Notes can convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon the election of a holder of Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes, we may settle the conversion of the Convertible Notes using any combination of cash and shares of our common stock. It is our intent, and belief that we have the ability, to settle in cash the conversion of any Convertible Notes that the holders elect to convert. The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is 46.4792 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $21.52 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we received notice from holders of $15.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes. The conversion of such Convertible Notes was settled in the first quarter of 2018, resulting in the issuance of 486,679 shares of our common stock, a $0.6 million reduction to debt discount and additional paid in capital, a $0.2 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and a cash payment of $15.0 million for the principal amount of such Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2019, we have $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Convertible Notes were convertible because the closing sale price of our common stock was greater than 130% of the $21.52 conversion price on at least 20 trading days during the 30 trading day period ending on December 31, 2018. As a result, the holders of the Convertible Notes could elect to convert some or all of their Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms and provisions of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes during the conversion period of January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (inclusive). The Convertible Notes continue to be convertible during the second quarter of 2019. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no other conversion notices have been received by us.

On July 6, 2018, concurrently with the offering of the Senior Notes, we entered into that certain First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement (the “Subsidiary

29

Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, which supplements the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, pursuant to which (i) the subordination provisions in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes were eliminated, (ii) each Subsidiary Guarantor agreed (A) to, concurrently with the issuance of the Senior Notes, fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes to the same extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor is guaranteeing the Senior Notes and (B) that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Convertible Notes ranks equally with such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Senior Notes and (iii) the Company agreed to not, directly or indirectly, incur any indebtedness in the form of, or otherwise become liable in respect of, any notes or other debt securities issued pursuant to an indenture or note purchase agreement (including the Senior Notes) unless such indebtedness is equal with or contractually subordinated to the Convertible Notes in right of payment.

Senior Notes Offering

On July 6, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2019, and the Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2026. Terms of the Senior Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture, each dated as of July 6, 2018, among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

We received net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes of approximately $296.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts of $2.3 million and commissions and offering expenses of $1.5 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees

We are often required to provide letters of credit and surety bonds to secure our performance under construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. The amount of such obligations outstanding at any time varies in accordance with our pending development activities. In the event any such bonds or letters of credit are drawn upon, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of such bonds or letters of credit.

Under these letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees, we are committed to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees under these arrangements, totaled $78.8 million as of March 31, 2019. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and surety bonds are not generally released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees as of March 31, 2019 will be drawn upon.

Cash Flows

Three Months Ended March 31,2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,2018

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 was $33.2 million as compared to $110.9 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. The $77.7 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to cash outlays for the $59.1 million decrease in the net change in real estate inventory year-over-year, which was primarily related to our homes under construction and land acquisitions level of activity, and to the $26.8 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Year-over-year change in net cash provided by working capital items were a $12.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, offset by a $4.3 million increase in other assets and by a $7.8 million increase in cash paid for pre-acquisition costs and deposits year-over-year. The decrease in cash used in operating activities reflects our homebuilding activities and, to a lesser extent, the timing of tax payments.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019, was $21.8 million as compared to $95.5 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2018. The $73.7 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities in the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 consists primarily of the $73.8 million decrease in net borrowings associated with the our revolving credit facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts in order to procure land and lots for the construction of our homes. We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. These contracts typically require cash deposits and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, which may include obtaining applicable property and development

30

entitlements or the completion of development activities and the delivery of finished lots. We also utilize contracts with land sellers as a method of acquiring lots and land in staged takedowns, which helps us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings and minimize the use of funds from our corporate financing sources. Such contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire land or lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. We generally have the right at our discretion to terminate our obligations under purchase contracts during the initial feasibility period and receive a refund of our deposit, or we may terminate the contracts after the end of the feasibility period by forfeiting our cash deposit with no further financial obligations to the land seller. In addition, our deposit may also be refundable if the land seller does not satisfy all conditions precedent in the respective contract. As of March 31, 2019, we had $39.4 million of cash deposits pertaining to land purchase contracts for 20,722 lots with an aggregate purchase price of $673.9 million. Approximately $27.2 million of the cash deposits as of March 31, 2019 are secured by third-party guarantees or indemnity mortgages on the related property.

Our utilization of land purchase contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into contracts at acceptable terms, which may include option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing conditions and local market dynamics. Land purchase contracts may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain markets.

Inflation

Our business can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations appearing in the “Contractual Obligations” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and judgments and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. You can generally identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “should,” “will” or other similar words.

We have based our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that assumptions, beliefs, expectations, intentions and projections about future events may, and often do, vary materially from actual results. Therefore, we cannot assure you that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.

The following are some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements:

• adverse economic changes either nationally or in the markets in which we operate, including, among other things, increases in unemployment, volatility of mortgage interest rates and inflation and decreases in housing prices;

• a slowdown in the homebuilding industry;

• volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets;

31

• the cyclical and seasonal nature of our business;

• our future operating results and financial condition;

• our business operations;

• changes in our business and investment strategy;

• the success of our operations in recently opened new markets and our ability to expand into additional new markets;

• our ability to successfully extend our business model to building homes with higher price points, developing larger communities and producing and selling multi-unit products, townhouses, wholesale products, and acreage home sites;

• our ability to develop our projects successfully or within expected timeframes;

• our ability to identify potential acquisition targets and close such acquisitions;

• our ability to successfully integrate any acquisitions, including the Wynn Homes acquisition, with our existing operations;

• availability of land to acquire and our ability to acquire such land on favorable terms or at all;

• availability, terms and deployment of capital;

• decisions of the lender group of our revolving credit facility;

• the occurrence of the specific conversion events that enable early conversion of the Convertible Notes;

• decline in the market value of our land portfolio;

• disruption in the terms or availability of mortgage financing or increase in the number of foreclosures in our markets;

• shortages of or increased prices for labor, land, or raw materials used in land development and housing construction;

• delays in land development or home construction resulting from natural disasters, adverse weather conditions or other events outside our control;

• uninsured losses in excess of insurance limits;

• the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds;

• changes in, liabilities under, or the failure or inability to comply with, governmental laws and regulations;

• the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of projects;

• the degree and nature of our competition;

• increases in taxes or government fees;

• poor relations with the residents of our projects;

• existing and future litigation, arbitration or other claims;

• availability of qualified personnel and third-party contractors and subcontractors;

• information system interruptions or breaches in security;

• our ability to retain our key personnel;

• our leverage and future debt service obligations;

• the impact on our business of any future government shutdown;

• other risks and uncertainties inherent in our business;

• other factors we discuss under the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; and

• the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. We expressly disclaim any intent, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could adversely affect our revenues, gross margin and net income. We do not enter into, or intend to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Interest Rate Risk

We currently utilize both fixed-rate debt ($70.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and certain inventory related obligations) and variable-rate debt (our $500.0 million revolving credit facility) as part of financing our operations. Upon the election of a holder of Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes, we may settle the conversion of the Convertible Notes using any combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Other than as a result of an election of a holder of Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes, we do not have the obligation to prepay the Convertible Notes, the Senior Notes or our fixed-rate inventory related obligations prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt. The Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2019.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate indebtedness. We did not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019. We have not entered into and currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, but we may do so in the future. Many of the statements contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements” above.

As of March 31, 2019, we had $315.3 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement. All of the outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement are at variable rates based on LIBOR. The interest rate for our variable rate indebtedness as of March 31, 2019 was LIBOR plus 2.90%. At March 31, 2019, LIBOR was 2.49%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the average interest rate on our variable rate indebtedness would increase our annual interest cost by approximately $3.2 million.

Based on the current interest rate management policies we have in place with respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we do not believe that the future interest rate risks related to our existing indebtedness will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

33

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) occurred during the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

34

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.         OTHER INFORMATION

On May 6, 2019, we entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 6, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, each of the financial institutions initially a signatory thereto (the “Lenders”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and Fifth Third Bank and U.S. Bank, National Association, as documentation agents. Capitalized terms used in this discussion of the Credit Agreement and not defined in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement amends and restates and has substantially similar terms and provisions to the 2018 Credit Agreement and provides for a $550.0 million revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $100.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The revolving credit facility matures on May 31, 2022. Prior to each annual anniversary of the Credit Agreement, the Company may request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The initial interest rate under the Credit Agreement is LIBOR (one month) plus 2.75%.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and all other Guaranteed Obligations are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries having gross assets of $500,000.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (i) Tangible Net Worth of not less than the sum of $486.9 million plus 75% of the Net Proceeds of all Equity Issuances after December 31, 2018 plus 50% of positive Consolidated Earnings after taxes earned in any fiscal quarter after December 31, 2018, (ii) a Leverage Ratio of not greater than 60.0% (as determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter), (iii) Liquidity of at least $50.0 million, and (iv) a ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense for the most recent four quarters of at least 2.50 to 1.00.

The Credit Agreement also prohibits (i) the Company and its subsidiaries from making any Investments, other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement (including a limitation on investments in rental housing), (ii) the Company from having its Land Value exceed, at any time, 130% of Tangible Net Worth, (iii) the number of Speculative Housing Units and Model Housing Units, at the end of any fiscal quarter, from exceeding the number of Housing Units sold during the period of six months ending on the last day of such fiscal quarter, on an annualized basis, multiplied by 45% and (iv) the number of Housing Units closed pursuant to third-party purchasers pursuant to Wholesale Sales Contracts, at the end of any fiscal quarter, to exceed 15% of the number of Housing Units closed during the 12 months then ending.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the Company’s’ ability to (i) create, issue, incur or assume indebtedness, (ii) conduct intercompany transfers and (iii) merge, consolidate or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any person other than subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including, among others, (a) failure to pay principal, interest and other amounts due, (b) failure to perform any financial, negative or certain specified affirmative covenants, (c) inaccuracy in any material respect of any statement, representation or warranty by the Company or any subsidiary in any loan document, (d) cross-default to Indebtedness of $1.0 million or more, (e) certain changes of control or changes in management of the Company, (f) certain bankruptcy or other insolvency events, (g) certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect and (h) unpaid or unstayed judgment or attachment of $500,000 or more.

If any default occurs under the Credit Agreement, the Company may be unable to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon the occurrence of any event of default, the Lenders may, at their sole option, declare all sums owing to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.

The description of the Credit Agreement set forth in Note 14 - Subsequent Event and referred to in other places in this Quarterly Report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

If the Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon Central time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.9, but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

Section 2.5 Swingline Loans.

(a)Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation Section 2.16, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the lesser (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Swingline Availability”) of (i) $15,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) the Revolving Commitment of the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender; provided, however, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make Swingline Loans if the aggregate principal amount at such time of its outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans together with the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the then Commitment of the Swingline Lender. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Availability at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder. The borrowing of a Swingline Loan shall not constitute usage of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment for purposes of calculation of the fee payable under Section 3.5(b).

(b)Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans.

(i)The Borrower may request a Swingline Loan by giving the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to (1) a Notice of Swingline Borrowing, (2) a telephonic notice, or (3) a notice sent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication (each, a “Requested Swingline Borrowing”). Each notice for a Requested Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline Lender by telecopy, electronic mail or similar form of communication on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. Not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.2 for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses incurred by any Administrative Agent and/or the Swingline Lender or asserted against Administrative Agent and/or the Swingline Lender by any Person as a result of insufficient or incorrect information being given by the Borrower in connection with any notice for a Requested Swingline Borrowing given pursuant to clauses (2) or (3) above.

(ii)In addition, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, a Swingline Loan shall be deemed automatically requested by the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such automatic request) in the event and to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Account to cover any payment obligations made by the Borrower to third parties in

38

the form of checks or wire transfers from the Account (each, an “Automatic Swingline Borrowing”). Each Swingline Loan made as an Automatic Swingline Borrowing shall be made in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the actual amount necessary to clear all such overdrafts for a given day, provided in no event greater than the Swingline Availability but in no event more than the Swingline Commitment. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses incurred by any Administrative Agent and/or the Swingline Lender or asserted against Administrative Agent and/or the Swingline Lender by any Person in connection with any Automatic Swingline Borrowing.

(c)Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender (except to the extent a Revolving Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)). To the extent not paid pursuant to subsection (e) below, all accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.6 with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d)Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan (other than as an Automatic Swingline Borrowing, which shall be in the amount set forth in Section 2.5(b)(ii)) shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

(e)Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. At the end of each Business Day, Administrative Agent shall debit from the Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) all funds in the Account in excess of $1,000,000 (as such amount may be increased or decreased from time to time by prior notice by the Borrower to Administrative Agent, which notice may be sent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication unless Administrative Agent informs Borrower that its internal procedures require a specific form of written communication for such notice in which event notices shall thereafter conform to Administrative Agent’s internal requirements; provided, however, in no event may Borrower decrease the minimum amount in the Account below $1,000,000), and (ii) all accrued interest and principal outstanding under the Swingline Loan, and Administrative Agent shall use such amount to repay the Swingline Lender for any amount then outstanding under the Swingline Loan. To the extent any outstanding Swingline Loans have not been repaid pursuant to the previous sentence, the Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan on the last Business Day of each calendar week; provided, that in no event may the proceeds of a Swingline Loan be used to pay a Swingline Loan. In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower on the last Business Day of each calendar week (or if the Borrower does not repay any outstanding Swingline Loan on the last Business Day of each calendar week), the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection. If the Swingline Lender reasonably believes that there will be any amount outstanding under the Swingline Loans on the last Business Day of a calendar week (after giving effect to any Revolving Loan that the Borrower has requested be made on the last Business Day of such calendar week and its application to the

39

Swingline Loans), the Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the Business Day prior to such last Business Day of the week. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the existence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1(e) or (f), each Revolving Lender shall purchase from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1(e) or (f)), or the termination of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

Section 2.6 Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.

40

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first (1^st) day of each month, commencing with the first (1^st) calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, suchinterest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or feesrequired by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.7 Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than six (6) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.8 Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

Section 2.9 Prepayments.

(a)Optional. Subject to Section 5.4, the Borrower may prepay all or any part of any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining principal balance of the Loans).

41

(b)Mandatory.

(i)Revolving Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess.

(ii)Maximum Loan Availability Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the Maximum Loan Availability, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any such excess, either (A) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess, or (B) deliver a new Borrowing Base Certificate that demonstrates that the outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, do not exceed the Maximum Loan Availability. If such excess is not eliminated (or a new Borrowing Base Certificate is not delivered demonstrating compliance) within five (5) Business Days of the Borrowers obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, then the entire outstanding principal balance of all Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon, and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Liabilities for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, shall be immediately due and payable in full.

(iii)Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.

(c)No Effect on Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s obligations under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.

Section 2.10 Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to

42

such Continuation, and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however, that if a Default or an Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11 or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.11 Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or an Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into, and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.12 Notes.

(a)Notes. Except in the case of a Revolving Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects not to receive a Revolving Note, the Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to the order of such Revolving Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Swingline Note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender.

(c)Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8, in the absence of manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be controlling.

(d)Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and

43

(ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.13 Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitment.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (“Commitment Reduction Notice”). Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction. The Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated. The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 5.4.

Section 2.14 Extension of Revolving Loan Termination Date.

(a)Generally.The Borrower shall have the right to request that the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree to extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date by one year (a “Revolving Loan Extension”). The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent not earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the annual anniversary of the Agreement Date, and not later than thirty (30) days prior to the annual anniversary of the Agreement Date (in each case beginning with the second anniversary of the Agreement Date), a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”); provided, however, such request shall not be made more than once during any such sixty (60) day period. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders in the event of a Revolving Loan Extension if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Loan Termination Date shall be extended for one year effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (iii): (i) the Requisite Lenders shall have notified the Administrative Agent of their acceptance of the Extension Request within twenty (20) days of such Lender’s receipt of the Extension Request (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may determine); (ii) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (B) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted

44

under the Loan Documents; (iii) the Borrower shall have paid the extension Fees to Lenders approving the extension in accordance with Section 3.5(d); and (iv) the Borrower shall have executed such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (ii)(A) and (ii)(B). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower whether a request for an extension has been accepted or rejected as well as which Lender or Lenders rejected such request (each such Lender, a “Rejecting Lender”). The Borrower understands and acknowledges that (i) this Section has been included in this Agreement for the Borrower’s convenience in requesting an extension of the Revolving Loan Termination Date; (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has promised (either expressly or impliedly), nor does the Administrative Agent or any Lender have any obligation or commitment whatsoever, to extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may condition any such extension on such terms and conditions as they may deem appropriate in their sole and absolute discretion.

(b)Rejecting Lenders.Within fifteen (15) days after the date the Borrower receives notice of the Rejecting Lenders pursuant to the preceding subsection (a), but subject to the following subsections (c) and (d), the Borrower may elect, with respect to each Rejecting Lender, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Rejecting Lender, either (i) to require a Rejecting Lender to, and such Rejecting Lender shall, assign the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loan owing to such Rejecting Lender in the event of a rejected Revolving Loan Extension to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with Section 13.6(b), for a purchase price (“Purchase Price”) equal to (A) the aggregate principal balance of the Revolving Loans then outstanding and owing to such Rejecting Lender, plus (B) any accrued but unpaid interest and fees related to such Revolving Loans owing to such Rejecting Lender, plus (C) any amounts payable to such Rejecting Lender under Section 5.4, any such assignment to be effective as of the then-current Revolving Loan Termination Date, or (ii) to pay the Purchase Price to such Rejecting Lender, effective as of the then-current Revolving Loan Termination Date in the event of a rejected Revolving Loan Extension, whereupon such Rejecting Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall terminate, the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be so reduced, and the Revolving Loans owing to the Rejecting Lender shall be deemed fully paid and discharged.

(c)Extension.Neither the Administrative Agent, any Rejecting Lender nor any Affiliate thereof shall be obligated in any way to initiate any assignment referred to in the preceding subsection (b) or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee or Affiliate thereof. If all of the assignments and payments contemplated in the preceding subsection (b) have been completed, such that no Rejecting Lender or Affiliate thereof has outstanding any Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans in the event of a rejected Revolving Loan Extension or other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Rejecting Lender in such capacity, then the Borrower’s request for an extension shall be deemed to have been granted, and accordingly the Revolving Loan Termination Date shall be extended for a single one-year period; otherwise the Revolving Loan Termination Date shall not be extended. Notwithstanding the preceding subsections, if (i) the Requisite Lenders do not approve a request for a Revolving Loan Extension, or (ii) any of the conditions contained in the preceding subsection (a) are not satisfied, then the Revolving Loan Termination Date shall not be extended.

Section 2.15 Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Commitment Termination.

If on the date the Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise) there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative

45

Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount of money equal to the amount of such excess.

Section 2.16 Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13 shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments:

(a)the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time; or

(b)the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the Maximum Loan Availability at such time.

Section 2.17 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

The Borrower shall have the right to request increases from time to time in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of any such increases shall not exceed $100,000,000 (i.e., after giving effect to any such increases, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $650,000,000). Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the then-existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any then-existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of a then-existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 5.4 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans.

46

or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iii) new Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Revolving Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Revolving Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (with each Revolving Lender with a replaced Revolving Note to return the same to the Borrower, marked “Replaced” or its equivalent), (iv) intentionally omitted, (v) intentionally omitted; and (vi) a certificate confirming that any such increase is permitted under any Senior Notes Indebtedness and/or any Senior Notes Indenture relating thereto together with supporting evidence in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE III PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Payments.

(a)Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have

47

been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5, the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to the Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by the Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of the Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

(b)Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.2 Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1(a), 2.4(e) and 2.5(e) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the fees under Sections 3.5(a), 3.5(b), the first sentence of 3.5(c), and 3.5(e) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for

48

by Sections 5.1(c) and 5.5) shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans and the then-current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.5, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentage; and (f) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

Section 3.3 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 11.5, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2 or Section 11.5, as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4 Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5 Fees.

(a)Closing Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b)Unused Fees. During the period from the Agreement Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account

49

of the Revolving Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the daily amount (the “Unused Amount”) by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, as set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate:

Unused Amount	Unused Fee (percent per annum)
Less than or equal to thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments	0.25%
Greater than thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments	0.375%

Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1^st) day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating an unused facility fee, the outstanding principal balance of Swingline Loans shall not be factored into the computation.

(c)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (ii) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full. In addition to such fees, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent solely for Issuing Bank’s own account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. The fees provided for in this subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable, (x) in the case of the fee provided for in the first sentence, in arrears (i) quarterly on the first (1^st) day of January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Revolving Loan Termination Date, (iii) on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of the fronting fee provided for in the second sentence, at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by the Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any other transaction relating thereto.

(d)Revolving Credit Extension Fee. If the Revolving Loan Termination Date is being extended in accordance with Section 2.14, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee in an amount to be determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e)Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letter and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

50

Section 3.6 Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.7 Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6(a)(i) and (a)(ii) and, with respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.5(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.8 Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.6.

(b)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from

51

a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.4(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “Letter of Credit Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article V were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)Certain Fees.

(i)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

(iii)With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non‑Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender

52

with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non‑Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(d)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 13.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Loans.

(i)If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure, and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii)The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

53

(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and providedfurther that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g)New Swingline Loans/New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h)Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and

54

Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

Section 3.10 Taxes.

(a)Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or

55

such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

56

(II)an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-2 or Exhibit O-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code), and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

57

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE IV BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES

(b)Additional Borrowing Base Properties. Without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Section 8.15, if after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that the Lenders include any additional Property in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing. Such Property shall become a Borrowing Base Property upon (i) satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.3 and (ii) delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate showing the Borrowing Base after inclusion of such Property as a Borrowing Base Property.

Section 4.5 Reserved.

Section 4.6 Release of Guarantors.

In connection with (x) a Subsidiary Guarantor no longer being a Material Subsidiary or (y) the sale of Equity Interests in a Subsidiary Guarantor permitted under Section 10.4, the Borrower may request in writing that the Administrative Agent release, and upon receipt of such request the Administrative Agent shall release, such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty and any other applicable Security Documents so long as: (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor owns no Property included in the most-recent calculation of the Borrowing Base, nor any Equity Interest in any Subsidiary Guarantor that owns a Property included in the most-recent calculation of Borrowing Base; (ii) no Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release; (iii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantor in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such release with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder)); and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received such written request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the requested date of release. Delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of any such request shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty in accordance with this Section 4.6.

Section 4.7 Reserved.

Section 4.8 Frequency of Calculations of Borrowing Base.

Initially, the Borrowing Base for the Borrowing Base Property shall be the amount set on Schedule 4.1. Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered from time to time under Section 9.4(d) or other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.9 Inspections.

The Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to have, at the Borrower’s expense, quarterly inspections performed on up to thirty percent (30%) of the Properties included in the Borrowing Base by the Administrative Agent and its contractors, vendors and agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to further inspect Borrowing Base Properties as the Administrative Agent determines to be reasonably necessary at the cost and expense of Lenders, with each Lender agreeing to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the forgoing, during the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, and Requisite Lenders may require the Administrative Agent, to inspect all of the Properties included in the

59

Borrowing Base, at the Borrower’s expense, at such times and as often as the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, reasonably elect. In the event of any discrepancy between a Borrowing Base Certificate and any inspection performed by or at the request of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base accordingly. Any inspection or review of the Lots and/or Housing Units by the Administrative Agent or its contractors, vendors and agents is solely for the Administrative Agent and Lenders’ benefit and may not be relied upon by the Borrower or by any third party. Neither the Administrative Agent or Lender owe any duty of care to the Borrower or any third party to protect against, or to inform the Borrower or any third party of, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements as determined by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

ARTICLE V YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Participant determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender, Participant or any lending office of such Lender, Participant or such Lender’s or Participant’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Participant’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Participant’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or Participant or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender or Participant, to a level below that which such Lender, Participant or such Lender’s or Participant’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Participant’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s Participant’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time (but in any event within 30 days of the Borrower receiving notice of same) the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Participant or such Lender’s or Participant’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(b)Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

(i)changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);

(ii)imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans)

60

relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or

(iii)imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.

(c)Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall apply).

(d)Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e)Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of the Issuing Bank and or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of the Issuing Bank or a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

61

Section 5.2 Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

(a)Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with clause (b) below, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(i)the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period;

(ii)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein; or

(iii)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

(b)Alternative Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2(a) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 5.2(a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Sections 5.1(c), 5.2(a) or 5.3 occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (or the Requisite Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or

62

the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 13.6), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Requisite Lenders (provided, that the Commitment of the Lender serving as Administrative Agent shall be excluded for purposes of determining Requisite Lenders pursuant to this sentence) with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects; provided that an insufficiency in any such explanation shall not affect or otherwise impair such Lender’s objection to the proposed amendment). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

Section 5.3 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall be applicable).

Section 5.4 Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(a)any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 6.2 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then-present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

63

Section 5.5 Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then-current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2, or Section 5.3 on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i)to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans;

(ii)all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans; and

(iii)all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1(c), 5.2 or 5.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 5.6 Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10 or 5.1, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(c) or 5.3 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.4(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender, any other Lender or any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not

64

in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10, 5.1 or 5.4) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 5.7 Change of Lending Office.

At the request of the Borrower, each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10, 5.1 or 5.3 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 5.8 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

Except for any of the following matters that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any knowledge of, or has received notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences, actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect to the Properties, may: (x) cause or contribute to an actual or alleged violation of or noncompliance with Environmental Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any other potential common‑law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the Properties to become subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing or recording of any notice, approval or disclosure document under any Environmental Law and, with respect to the immediately preceding clauses (x) through (z) is based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal, clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law.

None of the Properties is listed on or proposed for listing on the National Priority List promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations, or any state or local priority list promulgated pursuant to any analogous

72

state or local law. To the Borrower’s actual knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated at or transported from the Properties are or have been transported to, or disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority list, or any other location that is or has been the subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Law, except to the extent that such transportation or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(p)Investment Company. None of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

(q)Margin Stock.

All such Intellectual Property is fully protected and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. No material claim has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(t)Business. As of the Agreement Date, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of acquiring land and developing single family homes, together with other business activities incidental thereto.

(u)Broker’s Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or similar compensation will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

All financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have been or may hereafter be made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions. No fact (other than matters of a macroeconomic nature) is known to any Loan Party which has had, or may in the future have (so far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1(k) or in such information, reports or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed, including the Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No document furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or written statement made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

Section 11.4 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.

No Lender Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 11.5 Allocation of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section 3.3) under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(a)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (a) payable to them;

(b)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;

(c)to the payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans;

96

(d)to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) payable to them;

(e)to the payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Swingline Loans;

(f)to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter of Credit Liabilities and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and the Specified Derivatives Providers and in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (f) payable to them; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account; and

(g)    the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be. Each Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Section 11.6 Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(a)As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.

(b)Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care

97

in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c)If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the payment made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing.

(d)If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.5.

(e)So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. When all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(f)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 11.7 Performance by Administrative Agent.

If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower and the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such other Loan Party. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8 Rights Cumulative.

(a)Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, and of the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights

98

and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by any such Lender Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b)Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article XII for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender) hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit or under any Specified Derivatives Contract, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4 (subject to the terms of Section 3.3), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XII and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

ARTICLE XII THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

Section 12.1 Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent,” “the Administrative Agent,” “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative

99

Agent pursuant to Article IX that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 12.2 Administrative Agent as Lender.

The Lender acting as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Bank, the other Lenders, or any Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise, without having to account for the same to the Issuing Bank, the other Lenders or any Specified Derivatives Providers. The Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 12.5 Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the requested determination, consent or approval within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such; provided, however, that, (x) this sentence shall not apply to any determination, consent, or approval regarding any matter requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 13.7(b) and (y) any such deemed approval or consent shall be effective against a Lender only if the written notice to such Lender was sent electronically or in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” and contained a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating “NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT UNDER THE LGI HOMES, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED GRANTED”.

Section 12.6 Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.7 Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement,

101

warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or the Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral (if any) covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 12.8 Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out‑of‑pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out‑of‑pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is

102

actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 12.9 Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to the Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or the Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or the Issuing Bank.

Section 12.10 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have

103

accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and the Issuing Bank so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by an the Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as the Issuing Bank and as the Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitution shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 12.11 Titled Agents.

Each of the Arranger and Documentation Agents (each, a “Titled Agent”), in such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents is solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 12.12 Specified Derivatives Contracts; Specified Derivatives Providers.

No Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5 by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan

104

Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, all notices or communications to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender under Article II shall be effective only when actually received. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall incur any liability to any Loan Party (nor shall the Administrative Agent incur any liability to the Issuing Bank or the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in

108

good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to get a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

Section 13.2 Expenses.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expenses and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion in calculations of the Borrowing Base and the Administrative Agent’s other activities under Article IV and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1(e) or 11.1(f), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor‑in‑possession financing or any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder.

Section 13.3 Stamp, Intangible and Recording Taxes.

The Borrower will pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration, recordation and similar taxes, fees or charges (but in no event Excluded Taxes) and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes, fees or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

109

Section 13.4 Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3 and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of the Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of the Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2, and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 13.5 Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a)EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM

110

ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE ISSUING BANK MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c)THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN.

(d)THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants

111

to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Commitment or Revolving Loans, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Commitment assigned.

(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender; and

(B)the consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.

(C)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default exists at the time of

112

such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof.

(iv)Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 ($7,500 for any Defaulting Lender) for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4, 13.2 and 13.10 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11 with respect

113

to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated in Section 4.6, in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10, 5.1, 5.4(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.1or 3.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal

114

amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(g)USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

Section 13.7 Amendments and Waivers.

(a)Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Subject to the immediately following subsection (c), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Revolving Lenders, and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in

115

this Section, the Fee Letter may only be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan Party thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.

(b)Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i)increase (or reinstate) the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender;

(ii)reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, only the written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required for the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate”;

(iii)reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(iv)modify the definitions of “Revolving Loan Termination Date” (except in accordance with Section 2.14) or “Revolving Commitment Percentage,” otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Revolving Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders, or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the date that is thirty days prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, in each case, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby;

(v)modify the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2 without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi)amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii)modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Revolving Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof without the written consent of each Revolving Lender;

(viii)release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as contemplated in Section 4.6) without the written consent of each Lender;

(ix)amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.16 without the written consent of each Lender;

(x)intentionally omitted;

(xi)amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.3 without the written consent of each Lender.

116

(c)Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. Unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4 or the obligations of the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender. No amendment, modification or consent with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the ratable treatment of Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Derivatives Contracts resulting in such Guaranteed Obligations being junior in right of payment to principal on the Loans or resulting in Guaranteed Obligations owing to any Specified Derivative Provider becoming unsecured to the extent such Guaranteed Obligations are to be secured in accordance with the terms hereof (other than releases of Liens applicable to all Lenders permitted in accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in a manner adverse to any Specified Derivative Provider, shall be effective without the written consent of such Specified Derivative Provider (which written consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(d)Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.7, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

(e)Replacement Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Replacement Rate or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 5.2(b) in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2(b).

117

(f)Amendment and Restatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to amend and restate this Agreement if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have been terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

Section 13.8 Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 13.9 Confidentiality.

The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors, consultants and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the Information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any such Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential Information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender

118

or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.10 Indemnification.

(a)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims (including without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party) (which counsel may be employees of any Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, (v) any claim (including without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, (vi) the Administrative Agent and Lenders entering into this Agreement, (vii) the establishment of this credit facility in favor of the Borrower, (viii) the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders being deemed creditors in possession of the Borrower’s information, (ix) the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders being deemed material creditors that are alleged to have exercised direct or indirect influence, (x) exercise by the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders of any of the rights or remedies available to them pursuant to any Loan Document, (xi) any civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC as a result of the Borrower’s conduct, together with all costs and expenses related thereto, or (xii) the violation of, or non-compliance with, any Applicable Law; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses

119

are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(b)If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(c)The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

References in this Section 13.10 to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers. This Section 13.10 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

Section 13.11 Termination; Survival.

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or been canceled, (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and the Issuing Bank is no longer obligated under this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10, 5.1, 5.4, 12.8, 13.2 and 13.10 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.5 and Section 13.17, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

Section 13.12 Severability of Provisions.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

Section 13.13 GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 13.14 Counterparts.

120

be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all Persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.

Section 13.15 Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.

Section 13.16 Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 13.17 Limitation of Liability.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 13.18 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Section 13.19 Construction.

The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Borrower and each Lender.

Section 13.20 Headings.

The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.

121

Section 13.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers.

Section 13.22 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(a)This Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Existing Credit Agreement is merged and incorporated into this Agreement and (b) this Agreement shall supersede and control any inconsistent provision in the Existing Credit Agreement. All references in the Loan Documents (including the Existing Loan Documents) to the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby modified and shall now be deemed to refer to this Agreement. All references in the Loan Documents (including the Existing Loan Documents) to the Obligations, the Notes, the Loan Documents and other terms defined herein are hereby modified and shall now be deemed to refer to such terms and items as defined or described in this Agreement. The Guaranty shall guarantee the Notes and the Guaranteed Obligations as defined and described in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and in confirmation of the Liens intended to be granted pursuant to the Loan Documents (including any Existing Loan Documents), each Loan Party grants, conveys, and assigns to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, a lien against and security interest in all collateral (if any) described in such Loan Documents as security for the Guaranteed Obligations. Except as modified hereby or by any other Loan Document (whether dated as of or prior to the Agreement Date) which expressly modifies any of the Existing Loan Documents, all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Loan Documents (including schedules and exhibits thereto), and the indebtedness, duties and obligations thereunder, are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall not, however, constitute a novation of the Loan Parties’ indebtedness, duties and obligations under or with respect to the Existing Loan Documents, the Existing Loans thereunder or the Existing Letters of Credit issued thereunder.

(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing, on the Agreement Date (i) all outstanding Existing Loans shall continue to be Revolving Loans hereunder and each applicable Existing Lender shall be deemed to sell, and each New Lender and each Existing Lender whose Revolving Commitments are increasing on

122

the Agreement Date shall be deemed to purchase, an interest therein as required to establish Revolving Loans for each of the Revolving Lenders based on such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage, and the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balances of such Revolving Loans and any other Revolving Loans funded on the Agreement Date, reflect the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders hereunder; (ii) all Existing Letters of Credit shall continue to be Letters of Credit hereunder and each applicable Existing Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to sell, and each New Lender and each Existing Lender whose Revolving Commitments are increasing on the Agreement Date shall be deemed to purchase, an interest therein as required to establish the Letter of Credit participations therein in accordance with its respective Revolving Commitment Percentage; (iii) there shall have been credited to the Existing Lenders all accrued but unpaid interest due on the Existing Loans and Existing Letters of Credit to but excluding the Agreement Date; and (iv) there shall have been credited to the Existing Lenders all accrued but unpaid fees under the Existing Loans and Existing Letters of Credit owing to but excluding the Agreement Date and all other amounts, costs and expenses then owing to any of the Existing Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Loan Agreement, regardless of whether such amounts would otherwise be due and payable at such time pursuant to the terms of the Existing Loan Agreement.

(c)    On the Effective Date, the commitment of each Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement, but not a party to this Agreement (other than for purposes of this Section 13.22) (an “Exiting Lender”), shall be terminated, all outstanding obligations owing to such Exiting Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall be paid in full as provided in this Section, and each Exiting Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else provided herein or otherwise, any rights of an Exiting Lender under the Loan Documents that are intended by their express terms to survive termination of the Revolving Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of obligations under any Loan Document shall survive for such Exiting Lender hereunder.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Basis of Presentation Disclosures

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Description of the Business

LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “us,” “we,” or “our”), is engaged in the development of communities and the design, construction and sale of new homes in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada and West Virginia.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2019, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing standards for lease accounting, requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than one year. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted the new standard with a modified retrospective transition approach, so financial information is not updated for periods prior to January 1, 2019. Pursuant to the adoption of the new standard, we elected the practical expedients upon transition that do not require us to reassess existing contracts to determine if they contain leases under the new definition of a lease, or to reassess historical lease classification or initial direct costs.We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for new leases after adoption of the new standard.

The adoption of Topic 842 is accounted for as a change in accounting principle in conformity with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” As a result of the adoption, the most significant changes are related to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities of $5.4 million as of January 1, 2019 on the balance sheet for office operating leases. The Company's existing material leases are all considered operating leases under the new leasing standard and as a result, no adjustment to retained earnings was required.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Certain disclosures are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment.” (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer

REVENUES

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from home sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home sale is closed, title and possession are transferred to the customer and we have no significant continuing involvement with the home. Proceeds from home sales are generally received from the title company within a few business days after closing. Home sales discounts and incentives granted to customers, which are related to the customers’ closing costs that we pay on the customers’ behalf, are recorded as a reduction of revenue in our consolidated financial statements of operations.

The following table presents our home sales revenues disaggregated by revenue stream (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Retail home sales revenues	$	281,465	$	272,038

Total home sales revenues	$	287,594	$	279,024

The following table presents our home sales revenues disaggregated by geography, based on our determined reportable segments in Note 13 (in thousands):

Florida	28,912		42,443
West	45,817		26,802
Total home sales revenues	$	287,594	$	279,024

Home Sales Revenues

We generate revenues primarily by delivering move-in ready spec homes with our entry-level and move-up homes sold under our LGI Homes brand and our luxury series homes sold under our Terrata Homes brand.

Retail homes sold under both our LGI Homes brand and Terrata Homes brand focus on providing move-in ready homes with standardized features within favorable markets that meet certain demographic and economic conditions. Our LGI Homes brand primarily markets to entry-level or first-time homebuyers, while our Terrata Homes brand primarily markets to move-up homebuyers.

Our other revenues are composed of our wholesale home sales under our LGI Homes brand and Terrata Homes brand in existing markets. Wholesale homes are primarily sold under a bulk sales agreement and focus on providing move-in ready homes with standardized features to real estate investors that will ultimately use the single-family homes as rental properties.

Performance Obligations

Our contracts with customers include a single performance obligation to transfer a completed home to the customer. We generally determine selling price per home on the expected cost plus margin. Our contracts contain no significant financing terms as customers who finance do so through a third party. Performance obligations are satisfied at a moment in time when the home is complete and control of the asset is transferred to the customer at closing. Home sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few business days after closing.

Sales and broker commissions are incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Sales and broker commissions are expensed upon fulfillment of a home closing. Advertising costs are costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained and are recognized as an expense when incurred. Sales and broker commissions and advertising costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense presented in our consolidated statements of operations as selling expenses.

Real Estate Inventory Disclosures

REAL ESTATE INVENTORY

Our real estate inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2019		2018
Land, land under development and finished lots	$	780,057	$	736,402
Information centers	23,512		21,179
Homes in progress	197,836		149,506
Completed homes	289,450		321,169
Total real estate inventory	$	1,290,855	$	1,228,256

Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case the affected inventory is written down to fair value.

Land, development and other project costs, including interest and property taxes incurred during development and home construction and net of expected reimbursements of development costs, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges are allocated to the cost of individual homes using the specific identification method. Costs that are not specifically identifiable to a home are allocated on a pro rata basis, which we believe approximates the costs that would be determined using an allocation method based on relative sales values since the individual lots or homes within a community are similar in value. Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed to cost of sales as homes are closed. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining unsold lots and homes in the community on a pro rata basis.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase and concluding with the construction and sale of homes. A constructed home is used as the community information center during the life of the community and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether the property was purchased as raw land or finished lots.

Interest and financing costs incurred under our debt obligations, as more fully discussed in Note 5, are capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development and homes under construction.

Inventory Related Obligations

We own lots in certain communities in Arizona, California, Florida and Texas that have Community Development Districts or similar utility and infrastructure development special assessment programs that allocate a fixed amount of debt service associated with development activities to each lot. This obligation for infrastructure development is attached to the land, is typically payable over a 30-year period and is ultimately assumed by the homebuyer when home sales are closed. Such obligations represent a non-cash cost of the lots.

Estimated Warranty Reserve

We typically provide homebuyers with a one-year warranty on the house and a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems.

Changes to our warranty accrual are as follows (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Agreement

On May 25, 2018, we entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which was amended as of June 19, 2018 by that certain First Amendment thereto (the “First Amendment”; such credit agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The 2018 Credit Agreement has substantially similar terms and provisions to our second amended and restated credit agreement entered into in May 2017 with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) but, among other things, provided for, a revolving credit facility of $450.0 million, which could be increased at our request by up to $50.0 million if the lenders make additional commitments, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2018 Credit Agreement (which was requested and approved in October 2018). On October 18, 2018, we entered into a Lender Acknowledgement Agreement with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, whereby the aggregate revolving commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement increased by $50.0 million from $450.0 million to $500.0 million in accordance with the relevant provisions of the 2018 Credit Agreement.

The 2018 Credit Agreement matures on May 31, 2021. Before each anniversary of the 2018 Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The 2018 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of $0.5 million or more. The revolving credit facility is currently unsecured, but we have agreed to provide collateral if we fail to meet certain financial conditions in the future. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing base under the 2018 Credit Agreement was $766.7 million, of which borrowings, including the Convertible Notes (as defined below) and the Senior Notes (as defined below), of $685.2 million were outstanding, $5.1 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $74.7 million was available to borrow under the 2018 Credit Agreement, net of deferred purchase price obligations.

Interest is paid monthly on borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement at LIBOR plus 2.90%. The 2018 Credit Agreement applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 2.65% to 3.25% based on our leverage ratio. At March 31, 2019, LIBOR was 2.49%.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, a leverage ratio, a minimum liquidity amount and an EBITDA to interest expense ratio. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our additional debt and our ability to make certain investments. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the 2018 Credit Agreement.

On May 6, 2019, we entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates and has substantially similar terms and provisions to the 2018 Credit Agreement and provides for a $550.0 million revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $100.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. See Note 14 - Subsequent Event for more information regarding the Credit Agreement.

Convertible Notes

We issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”) in November 2014 pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2019. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a rate of 4.25%. When the Convertible Notes were issued, the fair value of $76.5 million was recorded to notes payable. $5.5 million of the remaining proceeds was recorded to additional paid in capital to reflect the equity component and the remaining $3.0 million was recorded as a deferred tax liability. The carrying amount of the Convertible Notes is being accreted to face value over the term to maturity.

Prior to May 15, 2019, the Convertible Notes are convertible only upon satisfaction of any of the specified conversion events. On or after May 15, 2019 and until the close of business on November 14, 2019 (the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Convertible Notes), the holders of the Convertible Notes can convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon the election of a holder of Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes, we may settle the conversion of the Convertible Notes using any combination of cash and shares of our common stock. It is our intent, and belief that we have the ability, to settle in cash the conversion of any Convertible Notes that the holders elect to convert. The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is 46.4792 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $21.52 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we received notice from holders of $15.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes. The conversion of such Convertible Notes was settled in the first quarter of 2018, resulting in the issuance of 486,679 shares of our common stock, a $0.6 million reduction to debt discount and additional paid in capital, a $0.2 million loss on the extinguishment of debt and a cash payment of $15.0 million for the principal amount of such Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2019, we have $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Convertible Notes were convertible because the closing sale price of our common stock was greater than 130% of the $21.52 conversion price on at least 20 trading days during the 30 trading day period ending on December 31, 2018. As a result, the holders of the Convertible Notes could elect to convert some or all of their Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms and provisions of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes during the conversion period of January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (inclusive). The Convertible Notes continue to be convertible during the second quarter of 2019. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no other conversion notices have been received by us.

On July 6, 2018, concurrently with the offering of the Senior Notes, we entered into that certain First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, which supplements the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, pursuant to which (i) the subordination provisions in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes were eliminated, (ii) each Subsidiary Guarantor agreed (A) to, concurrently with the issuance of the Senior Notes, fully and unconditionally guarantee the Convertible Notes to the same extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor is guaranteeing the Senior Notes and (B) that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Convertible Notes ranks equally with such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Senior Notes and (iii) the Company agreed to not, directly or indirectly, incur any indebtedness in the form of, or otherwise become liable in respect of, any notes or other debt securities issued pursuant to an indenture or note purchase agreement (including the Senior Notes) unless such indebtedness is equal with or contractually subordinated to the Convertible Notes in right of payment.

On July 6, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2019, and the Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2026. Terms of the Senior Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture, each dated as of July 6, 2018, among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

We received net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes of approximately $296.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts of $2.3 million and commissions and offering expenses of $1.5 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

INCOME TAXES

We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The statute of limitations with regards to our federal income tax filings is three years. The statute of limitations for our state tax jurisdictions is three to four years depending on the jurisdiction. In the normal course of business, we are subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income taxes. We do not expect the outcome of any audit to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit adjustments are subject to significant uncertainty.

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2019, our effective tax rate of 15.5% is lower than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the deductions in excess of compensation cost (“windfalls”) for share-based payments, offset by an increase in rate for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit payments.

Income taxes paid were $0.2 million and $42.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.73	$	1.10
Antidilutive non-vested restricted stock units excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per share	35,157		25,106

In accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, we calculated the dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method, since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes in cash. Under the treasury stock method, the Convertible Notes have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share to the extent that the average market price of our common stock for a reporting period exceeds the conversion price of $21.52 per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the average market price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of $21.52 per share. Included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share was the effect of approximately 2.0 million and 2.2 million shares of our common stock related to the conversion spread of the Convertible Notes for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2019, we issued 20,847 RSUs to senior management for the time-based portion of our 2019 long-term incentive compensation program, 16,159 RSUs for 2018 bonuses to managers under our Annual Bonus Plan and 10,239 RSUs to other employees. Generally, the RSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and can only be settled in shares of our common stock.

We recognized $0.5 million and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2019, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $5.4 million related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has granted awards of Performance-Based RSUs (“PSUs”) under the Amended and Restated LGI Homes, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to certain members of senior management based on the three-year performance cycles. The PSUs provide for shares of our common stock to be issued based on the attainment of certain performance metrics over the applicable three-year periods. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued to the recipients for the PSUs range from 0% to 200% of the target amount depending on actual results as compared to the target performance metrics. The terms of the PSUs provide that the payouts will be capped at 100% of the target number of PSUs granted if absolute total stockholder return is negative during the performance period, regardless of EPS performance; this market condition applies for amounts recorded above target. The compensation expense associated with the PSU grants is determined using the derived grant date fair value, based on a third-party valuation analysis, and expensed over the applicable period. The PSUs vest upon the determination date for the actual results at the end of the three-year period and require that the recipients continue to be employed by us through the determination date. The PSUs can only be settled in shares of our common stock.

The following table summarizes the activity of our PSUs for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019:

Period Granted	Performance Period	Target PSUs Outstanding at December 31, 2018	Target PSUs Granted	Target PSUs Vested		Target PSUs Forfeited	Target PSUs Outstanding at March 31, 2019	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Total		253,801	83,367	(83,656	)	—	253,512

At March 31, 2019, management estimates that the recipients will receive approximately 100%, 100% and 196% of the 2019, 2018 and 2017 target number of PSUs, respectively, at the end of the applicable three-year performance cycle based on projected performance compared to the target performance metrics. We recognized $1.2 million and $0.9 million of total stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. PSUs granted in 2016 vested on March 31, 2019 at 200% of the target amount, and 167,312 shares of our common stock were issued upon such vesting. At March 31, 2019, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $9.0 million, based on the probable amount, related to unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that differs from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 - Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Fair value is determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for

similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3 - Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the

measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow or similar technique.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2019, our revolving credit facility’s carrying value approximates market value since it has a floating interest rate, which increases or decreases with market interest rates and our leverage ratio.

In order to determine the fair value of the Convertible Notes and the Senior Notes listed below, the future contractual cash flows are discounted at our estimate of current market rates of interest, which were determined based upon the average interest rates of similar convertible notes and senior notes within the homebuilding industry (Level 2 measurement).

The following table below shows the level and measurement of liabilities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

		March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value (1)		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value (1)
Convertible Notes	Level 2	$	68,750	$	68,996	$	68,251	$	67,787
Senior Notes	Level 2	$	295,524	$	305,528	$	295,352	$	296,905

Land Purchases from Affiliates

As of March 31, 2019, we have two land purchase contracts to purchase a total of 198 finished lots in Pasco County and Manatee County, Florida from affiliates of one of our directors for a total base purchase price of approximately $6.9 million. The lots will be purchased in takedowns, subject to annual price escalation ranging from 3% to 6% per annum, and may provide for additional payments to the seller at the time of sale to the homebuyer. We have a $0.7 million non-refundable deposit at March 31, 2019 related to these land purchase contracts. We anticipate the first closing on the Pasco County contract to occur in the second quarter of 2019 and first closing on the Manatee County contract to occur in the third quarter of 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosures

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development and sale of real estate and homes and other aspects of our homebuilding operations. Management believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers and residential home builders in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and other counterparties. In each case, we have performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate us to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, we may have recourse against other previous owners. In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to regulatory proceedings from time to time related to environmental and other matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Land Deposits

We have land purchase contracts, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property, and obligations with respect to the land purchase contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related nonrefundable cash deposits. The following is a summary of our land purchase deposits included in pre-acquisition costs and deposits (in thousands, except for lot count):

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Land deposits and option payments	$	39,390	$	40,015
Commitments under the land purchase contracts if the purchases are consummated	$	673,929	$	776,224
Lots under land purchase contracts	20,722		22,820

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately $27.2 million and $25.2 million, respectively, of the land deposits are related to purchase contracts to deliver finished lots that are refundable under certain circumstances, such as feasibility or specific performance, and secured by mortgages, or letters of credit or guaranteed by the seller or its affiliates.

Lease Obligations

As described in the “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards” section within Note 1, as of January 1, 2019, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and recognized lease obligations and associated ROU assets for our existing non-cancelable leases. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our corporate and regional office facilities.  Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets, as included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.1 million as of March 31, 2019. Lease obligations, as included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.3 million as of March 31, 2019.

Operating lease cost, as included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.3 million. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.3 million. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average discount rate was 5.73% and our weighted-average remaining life was 8.1 years.

The Company does not have any significant lease contracts that have not yet commenced at March 31, 2019. The table below shows the future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases at March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Operating leases

Management does not believe that draws upon the letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees if any, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Information Disclosures

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, we changed our reportable segments to Central, Northwest, Southeast, Florida, and West. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations. Prior period information has been restated for corresponding items of our segment information.

We operate one principal homebuilding business that is organized and reports by division. We have seven operating segments (our Central, Midwest, Northwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, and West divisions) that we aggregate into five reportable segments at March 31, 2019: our Central, Northwest, Southeast, Florida, and West divisions. The Central division is our largest division and comprised approximately 43% and 39% of total home sales revenues for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODMs primarily evaluate performance based on the number of homes closed, gross margin and average sales price.

The seven operating segments qualify as our five reportable segments. In determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we consider operating segments’ economic and other characteristics, including home floor plans, average selling prices, gross margin percentage, geographical proximity, production construction processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, customer type and underlying demand and supply. Each operating segment follows the same accounting policies and is managed by our management team. We have no inter-segment sales, as all sales are to external customers. Operating results for each segment may not be indicative of the results for such segment had it been an independent, stand-alone entity for the periods presented.
