AND
3333 HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
AND CENTEX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

     On November 30, 1987, Centex Corporation distributed as a dividend to its stockholders, through a nominee, all of the 1,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of 3333 Holding Corporation and 900 warrants to purchase Class B Units of limited partnership interest in Centex Development Company, L.P. Pursuant to an agreement with the nominee, the nominee is the record holder of the 3333 Holding Corporation common stock and warrants to purchase Class B Units of Centex Development Company on behalf of and for the benefit of persons who are from time to time the holders of the Centex Corporation common stock. Each Centex Corporation stockholder owns a beneficial interest in that portion of the common stock of 3333 Holding Corporation and the warrants to purchase Class B Units of Centex Development Company that the total number of shares of Centex Corporation common stock held by such stockholder bears to the total number of shares of Centex Corporation common stock outstanding from time to time. This beneficial interest is not represented by a separate certificate or receipt. Instead, each stockholder’s beneficial interest in such pro rata portion of the shares of 3333 Holding Corporation common stock and the Centex Development Company warrants is represented by the certificate or certificates evidencing his Centex Corporation common stock and is currently tradable only in tandem with, and as a part of, each stockholder’s Centex Corporation common stock. The tandem securities are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission separately under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. 3333 Holding Corporation and Centex Development Company were each organized in 1987 in connection with the distribution described above. 3333 Development Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3333 Holding Corporation, holds a 1% interest in, and is the sole general partner of, Centex Development Company. Centex Corporation indirectly owns 100% of the Class A Units and 100% of the Class C Units of the limited partnership interest in Centex Development Company. These units are collectively convertible into 20% of the Class B Units of the limited partnership in Centex Development Company. Please refer to the ownership chart on page 3.

     At present, Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and Centex Development Company have elected to satisfy their respective periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by preparing and filing joint periodic reports. Part A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, or fiscal 2003, relates to Centex Corporation and its subsidiaries. Part B of this Report relates to 3333 Holding and its subsidiary, 3333 Development Corporation and to Centex Development Company and its subsidiaries.

For a complete understanding of the tandem-traded securities, you should read both Part A and Part B of this Report.

CENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

PREFATORY STATEMENT

     Part A of this Report (pages 6 through 106) includes information relating to Centex Corporation and its subsidiaries, SEC File No. 1-6776. See Joint Explanatory Statement on page 2 of this Report. Part B of this Report (pages 107 through 174) includes information relating separately to 3333 Holding Corporation and its subsidiary, to 3333 Development Corporation and to Centex Development Company, L.P. and subsidiaries.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General Development of Business

     Centex Corporation is a Nevada corporation. Our common stock, par value $.25 per share, began trading publicly in 1969. Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, and the London Stock Exchange. As of May 15, 2003, 62,251,136 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Any reference herein to we, us or our includes Centex Corporation and its subsidiary companies.

     Since our founding in 1950 as a Dallas, Texas-based residential construction company, we have evolved into a multi-industry company. Our subsidiary companies operate in five principal business segments: Home Building, Financial Services, Construction Products, Construction Services and Investment Real Estate. We provide a brief overview of each segment below, and we provide a more detailed discussion of each segment later in this section.

     Our Home Building operations currently involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of single-family homes, townhomes and low-rise condominiums. We have participated in the conventional homebuilding business since 1950. Home Building internally tracks its performance compared to the last reported twelve months of revenues for its competitors. Based on Home Building's comparisons, we believe that it ranked as the nation’s fourth largest homebuilder at March 31, 2003.

     Our Financial Services operations primarily are engaged in the residential mortgage banking business, as well as in other financial services that are in large part related to the residential mortgage market. These operations include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for purchasers of homes sold by our Home Building operations and other homebuilders, as well as sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and various other insurance coverages. We have been in the mortgage banking business since 1973.

     Our Construction Products operations involve the manufacture, production, distribution and sale of cement, gypsum wallboard, recycled paperboard, aggregates and readymix concrete. Our involvement in the construction products business started in 1963 when we began construction of our first cement plant. During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, our construction products subsidiary, Centex Construction

Table of Contents

Products, Inc., completed an initial public offering of 51% of its stock and began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “CXP.” Primarily as a result of Construction Products’ repurchase of its own stock, our ownership has increased to 65.1% as of March 31, 2003. Accordingly, we have consolidated Construction Products’ financial statements with our financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, or fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001.

     Our Construction Services operations involve the construction of buildings for both private and government interests, including office, commercial and industrial buildings, hospitals, hotels, correctional facilities, educational institutions, museums, libraries, airport facilities and sports facilities. We entered the Construction Services business in 1966 by acquiring a Dallas-based contractor that had been in business since 1936. We also acquired significant construction companies in 1978, 1982, 1987 and 1990.

     Our Investment Real Estate operations involve the acquisition, development and sale of land, primarily for industrial, office, multi-family, retail, residential and mixed-use projects. Through our investment in Centex Development Company, the operations also include the International Home Building business located in the United Kingdom.

     In fiscal 1988, we established Centex Development Company. Please refer to Part B of this Report for a discussion of the business of Centex Development Company.

Financial Information about Industry Segments

     Note (J), “Business Segments,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries on pages 88-91 of this Report contains additional information about our business segments for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Narrative Description of Business

HOME BUILDING

     Our conventional homebuilding subsidiary, Centex Homes, purchases and develops land or lots and constructs and sells single-family homes, townhomes and low-rise condominiums. Centex Homes is the only company to rank among the nation’s top 10 homebuilders for each of the past 35 years according to Professional Builder magazine. Centex Homes sells to both first-time and move-up buyers. In fiscal 2003, over 81% of the homes we sold were single-family detached homes, and the remainder were townhomes and low-rise condominiums.

Markets

     Centex Homes follows a strategy of reducing exposure to local market volatility by diversifying operations across geographically and economically diverse markets. As of March 31, 2003, Centex Homes was building in 92 market areas, including Washington, D.C., and in 26 states. The markets are listed below by geographic areas.

     In fiscal 2003, Centex Homes closed 26,427 homes, including first-time, move-up and, in some markets, custom homes, ranging in price from approximately $57,000 to about $1.6 million. The average sale price in fiscal 2003 was $220,183.

     Our practice has been to acquire land, build homes on the land and sell the homes within 24 to 36 months from the date of land acquisition. Generally, this involves acquiring land that is properly zoned and is either ready for development or, to some degree, already developed. The purchase of finished lots generally allows us to shorten the lead time to commence construction and reduces the risk of unforeseen improvement costs and volatile market conditions. We have acquired a substantial amount of finished and partially improved lots and land through option agreements that we exercise over specified time periods or, in certain cases, as the lots are needed. At March 31, 2003, Centex Homes owned approximately 60,000 lots and had rights to purchase approximately 71,000 lots. In addition, Centex Homes enters into joint ventures for land acquisition, development and other activities. Centex Homes holds less than a majority interest in these joint ventures, therefore we do not consolidate these joint ventures in our financial statements.

     Our growth strategy for Centex Homes has been focused primarily on internally generated, organic growth opportunities through land acquisition and development in existing business units. As a secondary driver, we have also grown the business through the acquisition of other homebuilding companies. Since April 1998 we have acquired homebuilding operations of the following companies:

             
Company   Date Acquired   Description    

 
 
   
Wayne Homes   April 1998   Builds single-family homes in the “on-your-lot” market segment.    
Teal Homes   May 1998   Builds single-family homes for the first-time and move-up buyer in the Richmond, Virginia area.    
Calton Homes   December 1998   Builds single-family homes for the first-time and move-up buyer in New Jersey.    
Real Homes   September 1999   Builds single-family homes for the first-time and move-up buyer in the Las Vegas, Nevada area.    
Selective Group   March 2001   Builds single-family homes for the first-time and move-up buyer in the Detroit, Michigan area.    
CityHomes   March 2001   Builds upscale urban townhomes and condominiums in the Dallas, Texas area.    
Jones Company   January 2003   Builds single-family homes for the first-time and move-up buyer in the St. Louis, Missouri and Indianapolis, Indiana areas.    

     In addition, in July 1999, we acquired substantially all of the land and other operating assets for the construction of single-family homes, townhomes and duplexes from Sundance Homes, a suburban Chicago homebuilder. Sundance Homes retained its name and continues to operate in other markets in which we do not compete.

     The table below summarizes by geographic area Centex Homes’ home closings, sales (orders) backlog and sales (orders) for the five most recent fiscal years. Some of the prior year balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the fiscal 2003 presentation.

Competition and Other Factors

     The conventional homebuilding industry is essentially a “local” business and is highly competitive. We compete in each of Centex Homes’ market areas with numerous other homebuilders, including national, regional and local builders. Centex Homes’ top six competitors based on revenues for their most recent year-end are as follows: Beazer Homes, D. R. Horton, Inc., KB Homes, Lennar Corporation, Pulte and Ryland. Centex Homes’ operations accounted for approximately 1.6% of the total for-sale housing starts in the United States for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The main competitive factors affecting

11


Table of Contents

Centex Homes’ operations are location, price, availability of mortgage financing for customers, construction costs, design and quality of homes, customer service, marketing expertise, availability of land, price of land and reputation. We believe that Centex Homes competes effectively by maintaining geographic diversity, being responsive to the specific demands of each market and managing the operations at a local level.

     The homebuilding industry is cyclical and is particularly affected by changes in national and local economic conditions, job growth, long-term and short-term interest rates, consumer confidence, governmental policies, zoning restrictions and, to a lesser extent, changes in property taxes, energy costs, federal income tax laws, federal mortgage financing programs and various demographic factors. The political and economic environments affect both the demand for housing constructed and the subsequent cost of financing. Unexpected climatic conditions, such as unusually heavy or prolonged rain or snow, may affect operations in certain areas.

     The homebuilding industry is subject to extensive and complex regulations. Centex Homes and its subcontractors must comply with various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including worker health and safety, zoning, building standards, advertising, consumer credit rules and regulations and the extensive and changing federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing the protection of the environment, including the protection of endangered species. Centex Homes is also subject to other rules and regulations in connection with its manufacturing and sales activities, including requirements as to incorporated building materials and building designs. All of these regulatory requirements are applicable to all homebuilding companies, and, to date, compliance with these requirements has not had a material impact on us. We believe that Centex Homes is in material compliance with these requirements.

     We purchase materials, services and land from numerous sources and believe that we can deal effectively with the problems we may experience relating to the supply or availability of materials, services and land.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

     Our Financial Services operations primarily are engaged in the residential mortgage banking business, as well as in other financial services that are in large part related to the residential mortgage market. These operations include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for purchasers of homes sold by our Home Building operations and other homebuilders, as well as sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and various other insurance coverages.

Conforming Mortgage Banking

     We established CTX Mortgage Company, L.L.C., or CTX Mortgage, together with its predecessors and affiliates, to provide mortgage financing for homes built by Centex Homes. By opening CTX Mortgage offices in Centex Homes’ housing markets, we have been able to provide mortgage financing for an average of 68% of Centex Homes’ sales, other than cash sales, over the past five years. In fiscal 2003, this capture ratio was 73%. In 1985, we expanded CTX Mortgage’s operations to include mortgage loans that are not associated with the sale of homes built by Centex Homes. We refer to mortgage financing for homes built by Centex Homes as Builder loans and to mortgage financing for homes built by others as Retail loans.

     At March 31, 2003, CTX Mortgage had 223 offices located in 36 states. The offices vary in size depending on loan volume.

     We provide mortgage origination and other mortgage-related services for the Federal Housing Administration, or FHA, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, or VA, and conventional loans on homes that Centex Homes or others build and sell, as well as resale homes and refinancing of existing mortgages. Our loans are generally first-lien mortgages secured by one- to four-family residences. A majority of the loans qualify for inclusion in programs sponsored by the Government National Mortgage Association, or GNMA, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA, or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or FHLMC. These loans are known in the industry as “conforming” loans. The remainder of the loans are either pre-approved and individually underwritten by CTX Mortgage or private investors who subsequently purchase the loans or are funded by private investors who pay a broker fee to CTX Mortgage for referring a loan.

     CTX Mortgage’s principal sources of income consist of sales of mortgage loans, inclusive of all service rights, and, to a lesser extent, net interest income and other fees. Generally, we sell our right to service the mortgage loans and retain no other residual interests.

     We also participate in joint-venture agreements with third-party homebuilders and other real estate professionals to provide mortgage originations for their customers. These joint venture companies are fully consolidated in CTX Mortgage’s financial statements. At March 31, 2003, CTX Mortgage had 23 of these agreements, operating in 24 offices located in 11 states.

     In fiscal 2000, CTX Mortgage entered into a mortgage loan purchase agreement with Harwood Street Funding I, L.L.C., or HSF-I, that we refer to as the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. HSF-I is an unaffiliated entity that is not consolidated with Financial Services or Centex Corporation at March 31, 2003. Under the terms of the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage may elect to sell to HSF-I, and HSF-I is obligated to purchase from CTX Mortgage, mortgage loans that satisfy certain eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements. At March 31, 2003, the maximum amount of mortgage loans that HSF-I is allowed to carry in its inventory under the HSF-I Purchase Agreement is limited to $2.50 billion. Under the terms of the sales agreement, CTX Mortgage is the sole manager of HSF-I and, in that capacity, arranges for the sale of these loans into the secondary market. For a subservicing fee, CTX Mortgage also acts as servicer of these mortgage loans for HSF-I until HSF-I sells the loans. At March 31, 2003, CTX Mortgage was servicing approximately $2.27 billion of mortgage loans owned by HSF-I. For further discussion of HSF-I and the implication of recent accounting pronouncements on HSF-I, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Certain Off-Balance-Sheet and Other Obligations” below.

Sub-Prime Home Equity Lending

     We formed the predecessors of Centex Home Equity Company, L.L.C., or Home Equity, in fiscal 1995. The business of Home Equity involves the origination of primarily nonconforming home equity mortgage loans. The sub-prime lending market comprises borrowers whose financing needs are not being met by traditional mortgage lenders for a variety of reasons, including credit histories that may limit a borrower’s access to credit or a borrower’s need for specialized loan products such as cash-out refinance and jumbo loans. Since its inception, Home Equity has focused on lending to individuals who have substantial equity in their homes but have impaired or limited credit histories. Home Equity’s mortgage loans to these borrowers are made primarily for such purposes as debt consolidation, refinancing, home improvement or educational expenses. Substantially all of Home Equity’s mortgage loans are secured by first mortgage liens on one- to four-family residences and have amortization schedules ranging from 5 to 30 years.

     At March 31, 2003, Home Equity had 162 offices and was doing business in 47 states. Home Equity originates home equity loans through five major origination sources:

    a retail branch network;
 
    a broker referral network;
 
    referrals from its conforming mortgage affiliate, CTX Mortgage;
 
    a correspondent mortgage banker network; and
 
    Home Equity’s direct sales unit that sources loans primarily through the Internet.

     The following table summarizes Home Equity’s origination statistics for the five-year period ended March 31, 2003:

Origination Volume (in billions)
  $ 2.51     $ 2.09     $ 1.72     $ 1.32     $ 1.02  

     We began servicing loans through Home Equity in fiscal 1997. Servicing fees for sub-prime loans are significantly higher than for conforming loans primarily due to the frequency of contact with customers. Servicing encompasses, among other activities, the following processes: billing, collection of payments, movement of cash to the payment clearing bank accounts, investor reporting, customer help, recovery of delinquent payments, instituting foreclosure and liquidation of the underlying collateral. As of March 31, 2003, Home Equity was servicing a sub-prime loan portfolio of approximately $5.48 billion.

     From October 1997 through March 2000, a majority of Home Equity’s loans originated were included in securitizations that utilized a structure that resulted in the securitizations of the loans being accounted for as sales. Under this structure, Home Equity retained a residual interest in, as well as the servicing rights to, the securitized loans. We call this retained residual interest the mortgage securitization residual interest, or MSRI. As a result of the sales accounting treatment, our balance sheet does not reflect the mortgage loans receivable and offsetting debt resulting from these securitizations. The estimated gain on the sale of these loans was included in earnings during the period in which the securitization transaction closed. Between February 1998 and March 2000, Home Equity completed nine securitizations totaling approximately $2.38 billion in loans under this structure. As of March 31, 2003, Home Equity had a remaining MSRI of $106.4 million.

14


Table of Contents

     We changed the structure of securitizations beginning April 1, 2000. Subsequent to March 31, 2000, securitizations have been accounted for as borrowings; interest has been recorded over the life of the loans using the interest, or actuarial, method; the mortgage loans receivable and the securitization debt have remained on Home Equity’s balance sheet and the related interest margin has been reflected in our income statement. Under both structures, recourse on the securitized debt is limited to the payments received on the underlying mortgage collateral with no recourse to Home Equity or Centex Corporation. As is common in these structures, Home Equity remains liable for customary loan representations. The change in structure of the securitizations has no effect on the cash flow and profit recognized over the life of the mortgages. However, the change did affect the timing of profit recognition. Interest margin, rather than gain on sale of loans, is now Home Equity’s primary source of operating income. From April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2003, Home Equity completed 11 securitizations totaling approximately $5.34 billion in loans under this structure.

     Home Equity’s principal sources of income are from interest income, loan origination fees and servicing fees.

Other Financial Services Operations

     We offer title agent, title underwriting, closing, appraisal and other settlement services in 25 states under the names of Commerce Title Company, Commerce Title Agency and Commerce Title Insurance Company. Our Optima Information Solutions subsidiary provides property information reports, document recording and retrieval, due diligence reports and pre-foreclosure information electronically in all 50 states. Through Westwood Insurance, a multi-line property and casualty insurance agency, we market homeowners and auto insurance to some of our customers and customers of approximately 24 other homebuilders in 50 states. Westwood Insurance also provides coverage for some commercial customers. Our Technologies Group, headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma, provides mortgage quality control services, owns and operates an automated mortgage processing system and provides the mortgage industry with regulations and guidelines in an electronic format.

Competition and Other Factors

     The financial services industry in the United States is highly competitive. CTX Mortgage competes with commercial banks, other mortgage banking companies and other financial institutions to supply mortgage financing at attractive rates to purchasers of homes, as well as to the general public. Home Equity competes with commercial banks, other sub-prime lenders and other financial institutions to supply sub-prime financing at attractive rates. Our title and insurance operations compete with other providers of title and insurance products to sell their products to purchasers of our homes, as well as to the general public. Many of the competitors of our financial services companies have greater resources than we do. During fiscal 2003, Financial Services continued to operate in a very competitive environment.

     The Financial Services operations are subject to extensive state and federal regulations, as well as the rules and regulations of, and examinations by, FNMA, FHLMC, FHA, VA, Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, GNMA and state regulatory authorities with respect to originating, processing, underwriting, making, selling, securitizing and servicing loans and providing title and other insurance products. In addition, there are other federal and state statutes and regulations affecting such activities. These rules and regulations, among other things, impose licensing obligations on our Financial Services operations, specify standards for origination procedures, establish eligibility criteria for mortgage loans, provide for inspection and appraisals of properties, regulate payment features and, in some cases, fix maximum interest rates, fees, loan amounts and premiums for title and other insurance. Our Financial Services operations are required to maintain specified net worth levels and submit annual audited financial statements to HUD, VA, FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and some state regulators.

Table of Contents

     As an approved FHA mortgagee, CTX Mortgage is subject to examination by the Federal Housing Commissioner at all times to ensure compliance with FHA regulations, policies and procedures. Our title and insurance operations are subject to examination by state authorities. Mortgage origination and servicing activities are subject to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that also applies to our insurance operations, the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act and the regulations promulgated under such statutes, among other federal and state consumer credit laws. These statutes prohibit discrimination and unlawful kickbacks and referral fees and require the disclosure of certain information to borrowers concerning credit and settlement costs. Many of these regulatory requirements seek to protect the interest of consumers, while others protect the owners or insurers of mortgage loans. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to loss of approved status, demands for indemnification or loan repurchases from investors, class action lawsuits by borrowers, administrative enforcement actions and, in some cases, rescission or voiding of the loan by the consumer.

CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS

     Construction Products’ operations include the manufacture, production, distribution and sale of cement, gypsum wallboard, recycled paperboard, aggregates and readymix concrete. As of March 31, 2003, our ownership in Construction Products was approximately 65.1%.

Cement

     Construction Products operates cement plants in or near Buda, Texas; LaSalle, Illinois; Fernley, Nevada and Laramie, Wyoming. The plants in Buda and LaSalle are owned by separate partnerships in which Construction Products has a 50% interest. Construction Products proportionally consolidates its pro rata interest in the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of those extractive industry joint ventures. The kiln start-up dates of the cement plants were as follows: Buda, Texas, 1978 (expanded 1983); LaSalle, Illinois, 1974; Fernley, Nevada (2 kilns), 1964 and 1969 and Laramie, Wyoming (2 kilns), 1988 and 1996. All four of the cement plants are fuel-efficient dry process plants.

     Construction Products’ net cement production, excluding the partners’ 50% interest in the Buda and LaSalle plants, totaled approximately 2.27 million tons in fiscal 2003 and 2.24 million tons in fiscal 2002. Total net cement sales were 2.36 million tons in fiscal 2003 and 2.44 million tons in fiscal 2002, as all four cement plants sold all of the product they produced. During the past five years, Construction Products purchased cement from others to be resold. In fiscal 2003, 6.7% of the cement sold by Construction Products was acquired from outside sources, compared to 10.5% in fiscal 2002.

Raw Materials and Fuel Supplies

     The principal raw material used in the production of portland cement is calcium carbonate in the form of limestone. Construction Products obtains limestone principally through mining and extraction operations at quarries owned or leased by Construction Products or its partnerships that are located in close proximity to the plants. Construction Products’ management believes that the estimated recoverable limestone reserves owned or leased by it or its partnerships will permit its Buda, Texas; LaSalle, Illinois and Laramie, Wyoming plants to operate at present production capacity for at least 30 years and the Fernley, Nevada plant to operate at its present production capacity for at least 12 years. Construction Products’ management expects that additional limestone reserves for the Fernley plant will be available when needed on an economically feasible basis, although such reserves may be more distant and more expensive to transport than the Fernley plant's existing reserves.

Table of Contents

     The cement plants use coal and coke as their primary fuel but are equipped to burn natural gas as an alternative fuel. Electric power is a major cost component in the manufacture of cement. Construction Products seeks to diminish overall power costs by adopting interruptible power supply agreements, which may expose the plants to some production interruptions during periods of power curtailment. While power and coal costs generally increased during fiscal 2003 because of the location of Construction Product's cement plants, such increases are not expected to significantly impact cement manufacturing costs in fiscal 2004.

Sales and Distribution

     Demand for cement is highly cyclical and depends on the demand for concrete products, which, in turn, depends on the demand for construction. According to estimates of the Portland Cement Association, the primary construction sectors that account for the largest shares of cement consumption are public works construction, non-residential construction and residential construction. These sectors comprised 49%, 23% and 22%, respectively, of U.S. cement consumption in calendar year 2002. No single customer of Construction Products accounted for as much as 10% of total cement sales during fiscal 2003. The principal geographic markets for Construction Products’ cement are Texas and western Louisiana, which are serviced by the Buda, Texas plant; Illinois and southern Wisconsin, which are serviced by the LaSalle, Illinois plant; Nevada, except Las Vegas, and northern California, which are serviced by the Fernley, Nevada plant and Wyoming, Utah, northern Colorado, western Nebraska and eastern Nevada, which are serviced by the Laramie, Wyoming plant.

     We distribute our cement principally by common carriers and customer pickup. In addition, we transport our cement principally by rail to storage and distribution terminals for further distribution, which expands each plant’s selling area.

Competition and Other Factors

     The cement business is extremely competitive. In every geographic area in which Construction Products sells cement, one or more other domestic producers compete. In addition, foreign companies compete in most sales areas by importing cement into the United States. The number of principal competitors operating in the same geographic areas as Construction Products’ cement plants are: six in Buda, six in LaSalle, six in Fernley and four in Laramie. Construction Products competes by operating efficient cement plants, merchandising a high quality product and providing good service and competitive pricing.

Gypsum Wallboard

     Construction Products owns and operates four gypsum wallboard manufacturing facilities: two located in Albuquerque and nearby Bernalillo, New Mexico, one located in Gypsum, Colorado (near Vail) and one located in Duke, Oklahoma, acquired in November 2000.

     Construction Products’ gypsum wallboard production totaled 1,956 million square feet in fiscal 2003 and 1,890 million square feet in fiscal 2002. Total gypsum wallboard sales were 1,933 million square feet in fiscal 2003 and 1,930 million square feet in fiscal 2002.

Raw Materials and Fuel Supplies

     Construction Products mines and extracts natural gypsum rock, the principal raw material used in the manufacture of gypsum wallboard, from mines and quarries owned, leased or subject to claims owned by Construction Products and located near its plants. Construction Products estimates that the New Mexico,

17


Table of Contents

Colorado and Oklahoma mines and quarries contain approximately 50 million tons, 21 million tons and 15 million tons of gypsum reserves. Based on its current production capacity, Construction Products’ management estimates that the life of its existing gypsum rock reserves is at least 80 years in New Mexico, 35 years in Colorado and 15 years in Oklahoma. Construction Products believes other gypsum deposits are located in the immediate area of the Oklahoma plant and may be obtained at a reasonable cost when needed.

     Prior to November 2000, Construction Products purchased paper used in manufacturing gypsum wallboard from third-party suppliers. As a result of the acquisition of paperboard manufacturing operations in November 2000, Construction Products now manufactures almost all of the paper needed for its gypsum wallboard productions.

     Construction Products’ wallboard plants use large quantities of natural gas and electrical power. Construction Products currently obtains a portion of its natural gas requirements from three gas producers under gas supply agreements expiring in September 2003 for Colorado, November 2003 for New Mexico and June 2004 for Oklahoma. If the agreements are not renewed, Construction Products’ management expects to be able to obtain its gas supplies from other suppliers at competitive prices. Power for the Gypsum, Colorado plant is supplied by the cogeneration power facility that was acquired along with the gypsum wallboard plant in 1997. Natural gas costs generally increased during fiscal 2003 and are likely to remain above average fiscal 2003 gas costs in fiscal 2004. If gas costs remain at the current high level, such costs are expected to significantly impact fiscal 2004 gypsum wallboard manufacturing costs.

Sales and Distribution

     The principal sources of demand for gypsum wallboard are residential and non-residential construction, repair and remodeling. While the gypsum wallboard industry remains highly cyclical, recent growth in the repair and remodeling segment has partially mitigated the impact of fluctuations on overall levels of new construction. Construction Products sells wallboard to numerous building materials dealers, wallboard specialty distributors, home center chains and other customers located throughout the United States. Although wallboard is distributed principally in regional areas, Construction Products and some other producers have the ability to ship wallboard by rail outside their usual regional distribution areas to take advantage of other regional increases in demand. Construction Products’ rail distribution capabilities permit it to reach customers in all states west of the Mississippi River and many eastern states. During fiscal 2003, approximately 22% of Construction Products’ sales volume of gypsum wallboard was transported by rail. Construction Products had two customers that together accounted for approximately 23% of its wallboard sales during fiscal 2003.

Competition and Other Factors

     There currently are eight manufacturers of wallboard in the United States operating a total of 81 plants. Construction Products estimates that the three largest producers, of which Construction Products is not one, accounted for approximately 65% of wallboard sales in the United States in calendar year 2002. Competition among wallboard producers is primarily on a regional basis with local producers benefiting from lower transportation costs and, to a lesser extent, on a national basis. Currently, the wallboard industry has production capacity in excess of demand. This excess capacity has historically resulted in volatile pricing. Because of the commodity nature of the product, competition is based principally on price and, to a lesser extent, on product quality and customer service.

Recycled Paperboard Operations

     Construction Products conducts its recycled paperboard manufacturing operations at its Lawton, Oklahoma mill. The Lawton mill commenced commercial operation in March 2000 and was acquired by

18


Table of Contents

Construction Products in November 2000. The Lawton mill has the capacity to produce up to approximately 275,000 tons, of gypsum-grade recycled paperboard annually. In fiscal 2003, its total recycled paperboard production was approximately 232,000 tons.

     Construction Products produces all of the paperboard products manufactured at the paperboard mills from 100% reclaimed paper fiber. These products are classified by the industry as recycled paperboard. Recycled paperboard products include the facing paper used in the manufacture of gypsum wallboard and recycled paperboard used by manufacturers of consumer and industrial paperboard products. The principal raw materials used by the recycled paperboard mills are reclaimed paper fiber, chemicals and water. Construction Products currently purchases reclaimed paper fiber from several sources. The recycled paperboard products are sold primarily to gypsum wallboard manufacturers. During fiscal 2003, approximately 31% of the recycled paperboard manufactured and shipped by Construction Products’ recycled paperboard mills was consumed by its own gypsum wallboard manufacturing operations and approximately 53% was shipped to two other gypsum wallboard manufacturers. Construction Products supplies one of these gypsum wallboard manufacturers through a long-term supply agreement. The loss of one or more gypsum wallboard manufacturers as customers, unless replaced by a commercially similar arrangement within a reasonable time period, could have an adverse effect on recycled paperboard sales and profit margins. The remaining 16% of the recycled paperboard manufactured and shipped by Construction Products’ recycled paperboard mills was not gypsum-grade and was shipped to various customers.

     The demand for recycled paperboard directly corresponds to the cyclical gypsum wallboard market. Construction Products competes with approximately nine other manufacturers of gypsum-grade paperboard, six of which have gypsum wallboard manufacturing operations. Substantially all of these competitors have greater financial resources. Price, quality, personal relationships and timeliness of deliveries are the principal methods of competition among paperboard producers.

Concrete and Aggregates

     Construction Products’ concrete and aggregates operations are located in and around Austin, Texas and northern California. The 10,000-acre aggregates deposit in northern California contains sufficient estimated reserves to meet current mining requirements for aggregates for a period of more than 100 years. Construction Products sells aggregates from this deposit to customers in the Sacramento, California area and in nearby counties. No single customer accounted for as much as 10% of Construction Products’ concrete and aggregates sales during fiscal 2003. Competition among concrete producers within Construction Products’ northern California and Austin markets is strong.

Environmental Matters

     The operations of Construction Products, are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the protection of health and safety and the environment. Some of these laws impose permitting requirements and govern the nature and amount of emissions that may be generated when conducting particular operations. Other laws impose obligations to clean up or remediate spins of hazardous materials into the environment. We believe that Construction Products has obtained all the material permits that are necessary to conduct its operations. We further believe that Construction Products is conducting its operations in material compliance with these permits.

     Two environmental issues deserve special mention. First, cement kiln dust or CKD is generated in connection with the operations of Construction Products’ cement plants. The federal Environmental Protection Agency or EPA has been evaluating the regulatory status of CKD under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) for a number of years. In 1999, the EPA proposed a rule that would allow states to regulate properly managed CKD as a non-hazardous waste under state laws and

19


Table of Contents

regulations governing solid waste. In contrast, CKD that was not properly managed would be treated as a hazardous waste under RCRA. In 2002, the EPA confirmed its intention to exempt properly managed CKD from the hazardous waste requirements of RCRA. The agency announced that it would collect additional data over the next three to five years to determine if the states’ regulation of CKD is effective, which may lead the EPA to withdraw its 1999 proposal to treat any CKD as a hazardous waste. Final action implementing the 2002 announcement is expected to occur in June 2003.

     Currently, substantially all CKD produced in connection with Construction Products’ present operations is recycled, and therefore such CKD is not viewed as a waste. However, CKD was historically collected and stored on-site at Construction Products’ cement plants. If either the EPA or the states decide to impose management standards on this CKD at some point in the future, Construction Products could incur additional costs to comply with those requirements.

     A second environmental issue involves the potential regulation of greenhouse gasses from cement plants under the federal Clean Air Act. Although no restrictions have been imposed, it is possible that cement plants may be targeted because of the large amounts of carbon dioxide generated during the manufacturing process.

     Any additional environmental requirements imposed on Construction Products would also be imposed on other members of the construction products industry. Although we believe that Construction Products’ practices and procedures are consistent with industry standards, there can be no assurance that there will not be environmental liabilities or claims imposed in the future. In addition, there is always the risk of more stringent environmental laws being enacted or enforced in such a way that necessitate significant capital outlays.

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

     Construction Services is made up of four principal operating companies with various geographic locations and project niches. Healthcare facility construction has represented nearly one-fourth of Construction Services’ business mix during recent years. New contracts for the group for fiscal 2003 totaled $0.86 billion versus $1.46 billion for fiscal 2002. The backlog of uncompleted contracts at March 31, 2003 was $1.52 billion compared to $2.18 billion at March 31, 2002. Approximately $1.20 billion of the backlog of uncompleted contracts at March 31, 2003 is projected to be put into place during fiscal year 2004. We define backlog as the uncompleted portion of all signed contracts. Construction Services’ principal subsidiaries are as follows:

     
    Centex Construction Company, Inc. — This subsidiary has operational offices in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Fairfax, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia. This company pursues negotiated work in its regional market areas.
     
    Centex Rodgers, Inc. — This subsidiary is a nationwide healthcare construction specialist and is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee with operational offices in Pasadena, California; Detroit, Michigan; West Palm Beach, Florida; Rochester, Minnesota and Indianapolis, Indiana.
     
    Centex-Rooney Construction Co., Inc. — This subsidiary, based in Plantation, Florida, performs all types of work, principally within the state of Florida, and has operational offices in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Ft. Myers and West Palm Beach.

20


Table of Contents

     
    Centex Engineering & Construction, Inc. — This subsidiary, which focuses on industrial client construction projects, is located in Dyersburg, Tennessee and operates principally within the state of Tennessee. The company has additional marketing offices in Memphis, Tennessee; Lexington, Kentucky and Dallas, Texas.

     As a general contractor or construction manager, Construction Services provides supervisory personnel for the construction of facilities. In addition, Construction Services may perform varying amounts of the actual construction work on a project but will generally hire subcontractors to perform the majority of the work.

     Construction contracts primarily fit into one of two formats: negotiated or competitive bid. In a negotiated format, the contractor bids a fee (fixed or percentage) over the cost of the project and, in many instances, agrees that the final cost will not exceed a designated amount. These contracts may include a provision whereby the owner will pay a part of any savings from the guaranteed amount to the contractor. In a competitive bid format, Construction Services will bid a fixed amount to construct the project based on an evaluation of detailed plans and specifications. At March 31, 2003, approximately 86% of uncompleted backlog was negotiated. Construction Services’ projects include hospitals, hotels, office buildings, correctional facilities, schools, shopping centers, airports, parking garages, sport stadiums, post offices and convention and performing arts centers.

Competition and Other Factors

     The construction industry is very competitive, and Construction Services competes with numerous other companies. With respect to competitively bid projects and negotiated healthcare work, Construction Services generally competes throughout the United States with local, regional and national contractors, depending upon the nature of the project. For negotiated projects other than healthcare, Construction Services generally competes in the subsidiary’s primary geographical area with other local, regional and national contractors. Construction Services solicits new projects by attending project bid meetings, by meeting with builders and owners and through existing customers. Construction Services competes successfully on the basis of its reputation, financial strength, knowledge and understanding of its clients’ needs.

     Construction Services’ operations are affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety, as well as environmental laws. With respect to health and safety matters, we believe that Construction Services has taken appropriate precautions to protect employees and others from workplace hazards. Current environmental laws may require Construction Services’ operating subsidiaries to work in concert with project owners to acquire the necessary permits or other authorizations for certain activities, including the construction of projects located in or near wetland areas. Construction Services’ operations are also affected by environmental laws regulating the use and disposal of hazardous materials encountered during demolition operations.

     We believe that Construction Services’ current procedures and practices are consistent with industry standards and that compliance with the health and safety laws and environmental laws does not constitute a material burden or expense.

     Construction Services’ operations obtain materials and services from numerous sources. Our construction companies have been able to deal effectively with problems they have experienced to date in the supply of materials and services.

(1)   Represents a supplemental presentation that reflects the Financial Services segment as if accounted for under the equity method. We believe that separate disclosure of the consolidating information is useful because the Financial Services subsidiaries operate in a distinctly different financial environment that generally requires significantly less equity to support their higher debt levels compared to the operations of our other subsidiaries; the Financial Services subsidiaries have structured their financing programs substantially on a stand alone basis; and we have limited obligations with respect to the indebtedness of our Financial Services subsidiaries. Management uses this information in its financial and strategic planning. We also use this presentation to allow investors to compare us to homebuilders that do not have financial services operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL YEAR 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2002

     We reported consolidated revenues of $9.12 billion for fiscal 2003, 17.7% above the $7.75 billion reported for fiscal 2002. Earnings before income taxes were $794.9 million, 28.5% more than the $618.8 million of earnings before income taxes reported last year. Net earnings for fiscal 2003 reached $555.9 million, a historical high and a 45.4% improvement over net earnings of $382.2 million in fiscal 2002. Earnings per share for fiscal 2003 were $9.15 and $8.83 for basic and diluted, respectively, compared to $6.31 and $6.11 for the prior year. The increase in net earnings is significantly higher than the increase in earnings before income taxes due to a reduction in our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate decreased to 30.1% for the year ended March 31, 2003 from 38.2% for the year ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal 2003. We expect that the effective tax rate will increase slightly in fiscal 2004 to approximately 32%.

HOME BUILDING

     The following summarizes the results of our Home Building operations for the two-year period ended March 31, 2003 (dollars in millions, except per unit data):

Operating Earnings Per Unit
  $ 25,761       12.1 %   $ 22,973       11.6 %
Backlog Units
    12,050       28.6 %     9,371       1.1 %
Ending Operating Neighborhoods
    552       16.5 %     474       (1.5 %)

     Revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 increased 19.1% versus prior year, primarily due to an increase in units closed and higher unit sales prices. Units closed during fiscal 2003 increased 15.1% from 22,960 units to 26,427 units, and the average unit sales price increased 3.0% from $213,738 to $220,183. The increase in units closed was the result of a higher number of operating neighborhoods in the current year versus last year. The increase in the unit sales price was largely driven by higher selling prices in the Washington, D.C., New Jersey and California markets.

     Cost of sales was 73.9% of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 compared to 74.5% of revenues for the same period last year. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue is a result of higher per unit sales price and ongoing cost reduction efforts.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2003 were $865.2 million, or 14.6% of revenues, as compared to the $743.9 million and 14.9% of revenues reported for the same period last year. The dollar increase was due to incremental costs associated with closing more homes and higher personnel costs to support Home Building’s growth in neighborhoods.

     Operating earnings for the year ended March 31, 2003 were 11.5% of revenues and approximately $25,761 on a per-unit basis, compared to operating earnings of 10.6% of revenues and approximately $22,973 on a per-unit basis for the same period last year.

     Units in backlog increased 28.6% to 12,050 units at March 31, 2003 compared to 9,371 units at March 31, 2002. The increase in backlog resulted from a 16.5% increase in neighborhoods and a 24.7% increase in sales versus the prior year. Centex Homes defines backlog units as units that have been sold, as indicated by a signed contract, but not closed. Centex Homes enters fiscal 2004 with a record year end backlog of home sales and expects to continue to add more neighborhoods.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

     The Financial Services segment primarily is engaged in the residential mortgage banking business, as well as in other financial services that are in large part related to the residential mortgage market. Its operations include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for purchasers of homes sold by our Home Building operations and other homebuilders, as well as sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and various other insurance coverages. The following summarizes Financial Services’ results for the two-year period ended March 31, 2003 (dollars in millions):

Conforming Mortgage Banking

     The revenues and operating earnings of CTX Mortgage Company, L.L.C. and related entities, or CTX Mortgage, are derived primarily from the sale of mortgage loans, inclusive of all service rights and, to a lesser extent, interest income and other fees. Our business strategy of selling conforming loans reduces our capital investment and related risks, provides substantial liquidity and is an efficient process given the size and maturity of the conforming mortgage loan secondary capital markets. CTX Mortgage originates mortgage loans, holds them for a short period and sells them to investors and Harwood Street Funding I, L.L.C., or HSF-I. HSF-I is an unaffiliated entity that is not consolidated with Financial Services or Centex Corporation and subsidiaries at March 31, 2003. HSF-I purchases mortgage loans, at closing, from CTX Mortgage with the proceeds from the issuance of securitized term debt, secured liquidity notes and subordinated certificates that are extendable for up to five years. The debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-I are not reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services or Centex Corporation and subsidiaries. CTX Mortgage sold $10.55 billion and $10.20 billion of mortgage loans to HSF-I and repurchased $6.9 million and $1.1 million of delinquent or foreclosed mortgage loans from HSF-I during the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. CTX Mortgage recognized gains on the sale of mortgage loans of $254.6 million and $188.9 million for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For additional information regarding HSF-I and the implication of recent accounting pronouncements on HSF-I, see “Certain Off-Balance-Sheet and Other Obligations” on pages 49-51 of this Report.

     Revenues increased 14.3% to $453.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenues for the year is primarily related to an increase in CTX Mortgage originations as well as higher revenue from Title and Insurance operations. The increase in originations and Title and Insurance revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 was due, in large part, to an increase in mortgage loans originated for Centex Homes’ buyers and an increase in refinancing business.

     CTX Mortgage’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $38.9 million to $332.2 million at March 31, 2003. This increase primarily was due to increased employee count and related costs at our Title and Insurance operations as a result of the increased volume of business discussed above. CTX Mortgage’s operating earnings were $116.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, resulting in a 27.2% increase as compared to the same period last year. The increase in operating earnings for the year primarily is due to the increase in revenues discussed above and a decrease in the cost per loan originated.

     In the normal course of its activities, CTX Mortgage carries inventories of loans pending sale to investors other than HSF-I and earns an interest margin, that we define as the difference between interest revenue on mortgage loans held for sale or investment and interest expense on debt used to fund the mortgage loans. CTX Mortgage uses short-term mortgage warehouse facilities to finance these inventories of loans. The fact that the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased significantly more than the yield earned on interest earning assets decreased and the increase in originations noted above led to a 32.8% increase in net interest margin for fiscal 2003 as compared to the same period last year, from $6.4 million to $8.5 million.

     For the year ended March 31, 2003, originations totaled 84,934 compared to 80,384 originations in the same period last year; loan volume was $13.99 billion compared to $12.45 billion for the same period last year; the per-loan profit was $1,369, an increase of 20.4% compared to $1,137 for the same period last year and total mortgage applications increased 17.6% to 89,986 from 76,532 applications for the same period last year. For the year ended March 31, 2003, originations increased due to an increase in mortgage loans originated for Centex Homes’ buyers and an increase in refinancing business. For the year ended March 31, 2003, per-loan profit increased due to increased operational leverage as a result of the increase in the volume of originations, as well as an increase in Title and Insurance revenues and an improvement in the

spread between the weighted-average coupon rate of loans originated by CTX Mortgage and its cost of funds.

     The results of operations of CTX Mortgage depend to a significant extent on the level of interest rates. Any significant increases in mortgage rates above currently prevailing levels could adversely affect the volume of loan originations and may result in a significant curtailment of refinancing activity, which represents a substantial portion of our business. There can be no assurance that mortgage rates will remain at the current level in the future.

Sub-Prime Home Equity Lending

     The revenues of Centex Home Equity Company, L.L.C., or Home Equity, increased 32.6% to $401.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 as a result of continued growth in our portfolio of residential mortgage loans held for investment. Interest margin,which we define as the difference between interest revenue on mortgage loans held for sale or investment and interest expense on debt used to fund the mortgage loans, increased to $163.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $101.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest margin is primarily a result of an increase in the portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment and a decrease in interest rates on debt used to fund mortgage loans. Home Equity reported operating earnings of $47.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, as compared to operating earnings of $25.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in Home Equity’s operating earnings is primarily the result of the increase in interest margin, as noted above. Interest income will be positively affected as the portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment increases and matures. The increase in interest margin was partially offset by an increase in servicing and production costs, mostly attributable to loan volume and loan servicing growth, and an increase in the provision for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment. Home Equity’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased $44.0 million to $176.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 as a result of Home Equity’s growth. Home Equity’s increase in loan production volume, the expansion of its branch offices and the increase in the number of its employees are directly related to a corresponding increase in salaries and related costs, rent expense, group insurance costs and advertising expenditures totaling approximately $26.5 million. The remainder of the increase was due to higher charges to the provision for loan losses, as discussed below.

     From October 1997 through March 2000, a majority of Home Equity’s loans originated were included in securitizations that utilized a structure that caused them to be accounted for as sales. Under this structure, Home Equity retained a residual interest in, as well as the servicing rights to, the securitized loans. We call this retained residual interest the mortgage securitization residual interest, or MSRI. As a result, our balance sheet does not reflect the mortgage loans receivable and offsetting debt resulting from these securitizations. The estimated gain on the sale of these loans was included in earnings during the period in which the securitization transaction closed. The structure of securitizations changed beginning April 1, 2000. As a result of the change, subsequent securitizations have been accounted for as borrowings; interest has been recorded over the life of the loans using the interest, or actuarial method; the mortgage loans receivable and the securitization debt have remained on Home Equity’s balance sheet and the related interest margin has been reflected in our income statement. Under both structures, recourse on the securitized debt is limited to the payments received on the underlying mortgage collateral with no recourse to Home Equity or Centex Corporation. As is common in these structures, Home Equity remains liable for customary loan representations. The change in structure of the securitizations has no effect on the ultimate cash flow and profit recognized over the life of the mortgages. However, the change in accounting for securitizations did affect the timing of profit recognition. Interest margin, which is recognized over the life of the loan, is now Home Equity’s primary source of operating income as compared to gain on sale of loans, which previously was recognized upon securitization. Home equity loans are securitized to provide a low

cost method for funding our mortgage operations, to increase our liquidity and to reduce our interest rate exposure on fixed rate loans.

     For the year ended March 31, 2003, originations totaled 29,448 compared to 26,955 originations for the same period last year; origination volume was $2.51 billion compared to $2.09 billion for the same period last year and total applications increased 43.9% to 248,150 from 172,498 applications for the same period last year. For the year ended March 31, 2003, originations increased 9.2% while origination volume increased 19.8% due to an increase in average loan size. The slight increase in the number of originations relative to the larger increase in total applications is reflective of Home Equity’s continued adherence to its credit underwriting guidelines. Average interest earning assets increased 48.4%, from $2,625.1 million in fiscal 2002 to $3,895.5 million in fiscal 2003, and the corresponding average interest bearing liabilities increased 52.6%, from $2,653.9 million in fiscal 2002 to $4,049.2 million in fiscal 2003, primarily due to an increase in the volume of loan originations and an increase in average loan size. The average yield earned on these assets decreased from 9.38% in fiscal 2002 to 8.76% in fiscal 2003, and the average rate paid on these liabilities decreased from 5.46% in fiscal 2002 to 4.38% in fiscal 2003, primarily due to lower interest rates in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002. The fact that the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased significantly more than the yield earned on interest earning assets decreased and the increase in originations noted above led to a 61.8% increase in net interest margin from $101.3 million in fiscal 2002 to $163.9 million in fiscal 2003.

     At March 31, 2003, Home Equity’s total servicing portfolio consisted of 74,402 loans totaling $5.48 billion compared to 62,833 loans totaling $4.37 billion at March 31, 2002. For the year ended March 31, 2003, service fee income related to this servicing was $51.4 million compared to $38.2 million for the same period last year.

     The primary risks in Home Equity’s operations are consistent with those of the financial services industry and include credit risk associated with its loans, liquidity risk related to funding its loans and interest rate risk prior to securitization of the loans. In addition, as Home Equity services its loans, it is also subject to customer prepayment risks.

Allowance for Losses

     Home Equity originates and purchases loans in accordance with standard underwriting criteria. The underwriting standards are primarily intended to assess the creditworthiness of the mortgagee and the value of the mortgaged property and to evaluate the adequacy of the property as collateral for the home equity loan.

     Home Equity establishes an allowance for losses by charging the provision for losses in the statement of consolidated earnings when it believes the event causing the loss has occurred. When Home Equity determines that a residential mortgage loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged against the allowance for losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

     We believe that the allowance for losses is sufficient to provide for credit losses in the existing residential mortgage loans held for investment, which include real estate owned. We evaluate the allowance on an aggregate basis considering, among other things, the relationship of the allowance to residential mortgage loans held for investment and historical credit losses. The allowance reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period. A range of expected credit losses is estimated using historical losses, static pool loss curves and delinquency modeling. These tools take into consideration historical information regarding delinquency and loss severity experience and apply that information to the portfolio at each reporting date.

     Although we consider the allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover ultimate losses. This allowance may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries.

     Changes in the allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total Dollars Delinquent
  $ 122,479     $ 83,490  
 
% Delinquent
    2.6 %     2.6 %

     The increase in the allowance for losses in fiscal 2003 occurred primarily because the amount of the residential mortgage loans held for investment increased and the residential mortgage loan portfolio continued to mature. As the age and size of the residential mortgage loan portfolio continues to mature and grow, we expect the balance in the allowance for losses, the loans charged off and the allowance ratio to continue to increase. The increase in 90+ days contractual delinquency at March 31, 2003 occurred primarily because the residential mortgage loan portfolio continued to mature.

     Construction Products’ revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 were 6.4% higher than the same period last year. These increases were primarily the result of a $29.3 million increase in gypsum wallboard

Table of Contents

revenues and a $8.6 million increase in paperboard revenues, partially offset by a $10.0 million decrease in cement revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gypsum wallboard and paperboard revenues was primarily caused by higher average net sales prices when compared to the same period last year. The decrease in cement revenues was primarily caused by lower average net sales prices when compared to the same period last year.

     Construction Products’ cost of sales remained relatively consistent with the prior year. For the year ended March 31, 2003, cost of sales was 1.8% higher than the same period last year, primarily due to higher power, fuel and maintenance costs for cement and higher energy costs for gypsum wallboard.

     Construction Products’ selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2003 were 3.6% higher than the same period last year. This increase was primarily the result of higher office and professional expenses.

     For the year ended March 31, 2003, Construction Products’ operating earnings, net of minority interest, increased 27% from results for the same period a year ago. Operating earnings increased primarily due to the increase in gypsum wallboard and paperboard pricing noted above.

     Construction Services’ revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 were 17.1% higher than revenues for the same period last year. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of the stage of execution of certain longer-term contracts, as well as an increase in the volume of shorter-term contracts. Operating earnings for the group decreased 15.2% in the year ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year primarily as a result of a decrease in project margins reflective of the current construction environment. In addition, in fiscal 2003, Construction Services recorded a project profit write-down of $2.1 million related to a single project and a $2.4 million write-down of a long-lived asset. For the year ended March 31, 2003, new contracts executed decreased 41.1% from the same period last year, and backlog of uncompleted contracts decreased 30.3% from March 31, 2002, due to reduced activity in the commercial construction industry and delays in the execution of contracts for awarded projects. Construction Services defines backlog as the uncompleted portion of all signed contracts. Future operating margins and earnings are likely to be impacted by this reduced activity and our lower backlog.

     The Construction Services segment provided a positive average net cash flow in excess of our investment in the segment of $126.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 compared to $121.5 million for the same period last year.

INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE

     The following summarizes Investment Real Estate’s results for the two-year period ended March 31, 2003 (dollars in millions):

Revenues
  $ 66.9     $ 72.4  
 
 
   
 
Operating Earnings
  $ 54.3     $ 48.1  
 
 
   
 

     Investment Real Estate’s revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 were 7.6% lower than revenues for the same period last year. Operating earnings from Investment Real Estate for the year ended March 31, 2003 totaled $54.3 million compared to $48.1 million in the same period last year. The fluctuations in revenues and operating earnings were primarily related to the timing of property sales and, as discussed below, fluctuations in results from Investment Real Estate’s investment in Centex Development Company, L.P., or the Partnership.

     Property sales contributed operating earnings of $18.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 and $35.8 million for the same period last year. The timing of land sales is uncertain and can vary significantly from period to period. It is not currently anticipated that any significant capital will be allocated to Investment Real Estate for new business development. Through its investment in the Partnership, Investment Real Estate will focus on the International Home Building operations and evaluate opportunistic real estate transactions.

     Included in Investment Real Estate’s operating earnings for the year ended March 31, 2003 were earnings of $33.6 million derived from its investment in the Partnership compared to earnings of $18.7 million for the same period last year. As noted in Note (G), “Centex Development Company, L.P.,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Centex, the investment in the Partnership is not consolidated and is accounted for on the equity method of accounting.

     The largest component of the Partnership is its International Home Building segment, based in London, England. Included in Investment Real Estate’s operating earnings were earnings of $20.4 million and $12.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, derived from International Home Building. The increase in earnings from last year was primarily due to an increase in profits from sales of certain land holdings and an improvement in homebuilding operating margins, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses resulting primarily from personnel additions. For the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, this segment closed 1,492 units at an average sales price per unit of $235,930 and 1,387 units at an average sales price per unit of $204,251, respectively. Operating earnings per unit, before interest, were $15,369 and $10,358 for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

     The increase in our manufactured housing division’s operating loss in the current year is due to expenses related to the spin-off referred to below and operations that will be discontinued, including, among other things, a write-down of the value of property, plant and equipment of retail operations, a write-down in the value of the Texas manufacturing facility and a write-down in retail inventories. The decrease in our home services division’s operating earnings in the current year is primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses, including higher marketing costs, and an $8.0 million provision in the fourth quarter to reduce the carrying value of its remaining home security assets to estimated fair value. Our home services operations sold its chemical lawn care business in the second quarter. The sale of this business did not have a material effect on home service’s operating earnings.

     Subsequent to year end, on April 22, 2003, we announced the tax-free spin-off of the significant part of our manufactured homes operations to our shareholders. The spin-off will not have a material impact on our future earnings or debt coverage ratios.

     Corporate general and administrative expense represents compensation and other costs not identifiable with a specific segment. The increase in corporate general and administrative expense is primarily related to an increase in personnel and higher compensation resulting from continued improvements in our performance.

     The change in interest expense is primarily related to an increase in average debt outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period last year. This increase is offset by an increase in net interest capitalized and lower interest rates during the year ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period last year.

     The increase in minority interest is primarily related to an increase in the earnings of Centex Construction Products, Inc.

     Our effective tax rate decreased to 30.1% for the year ended March 31, 2003 from 38.2% for the year ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal 2003. We expect that the effective tax rate will increase slightly in fiscal 2004 to approximately 32%.

     Revenues increased 14.4% in fiscal 2002 versus prior year, primarily due to the 11% increase in units closed, from 20,659 units to 22,960 units, and the 4% increase in average unit sales price, from $205,913 to $213,738.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19% to $743.9 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $625.9 million in fiscal 2001. The increase primarily relates to higher compensation resulting from growth in Home Building’s business and profitability.

     Operating earnings for fiscal 2002 increased as a percentage of revenues and on a per-unit basis in comparison to fiscal 2001 as a result of several factors. Home Building continued to focus on reducing costs and improving operating margins through the reduction of direct construction costs. Moderate interest rates and softness in the prices of several key building materials, including lumber, cement and gypsum wallboard, are some of the factors that influenced the improved performance of the Home Building operation. Additional factors that contributed to an improved operating margin include purchasing efficiencies through regional and national programs, higher realized sales prices for our homes and more efficient house designs.

     Centex Homes responded to the events of September 11, 2001 through increased marketing efforts, purchase incentives and price discounting. These activities helped stimulate demand, increase traffic to our neighborhoods and minimize unsold housing inventory. After a brief slowdown, the business recovered and no long term impacts have been noted.

     Financial Services’ results are primarily derived from conforming mortgage banking and sub-prime home equity lending operations as described below.

Conforming Mortgage Banking

     The operating earnings of CTX Mortgage are derived primarily from the sale of mortgage loans, inclusive of all service rights and, to a lesser extent, net interest income and other fees. CTX Mortgage originates mortgage loans, holds them for a short period and sells them to investors and HSF-I. HSF-I is an unaffiliated entity that is not consolidated with Financial Services or Centex Corporation and subsidiaries. HSF-I purchases mortgage loans, at closing, from CTX Mortgage with the proceeds from the issuance of securitized term debt, secured liquidity notes and five-year extendable subordinated certificates. The debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-I are not reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services or Centex Corporation and subsidiaries. CTX Mortgage sold $10.20 billion and $6.69 billion of mortgage loans to HSF-I and repurchased $1.1 million and $0.3 million of delinquent or foreclosed mortgage loans from HSF-I during the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. CTX Mortgage recognized gains on the sale of mortgage loans of $188.9 million and $153.6 million for the years ended

Table of Contents

March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For additional information regarding HSF-I, see “Certain Off-Balance-Sheet and Other Obligations” on pages 49-51 of this Report.

     CTX Mortgage’s operating earnings were $91.4 million for fiscal 2002, 169% higher than earnings of $34.0 million for fiscal 2001. The increase in CTX Mortgage’s operating earnings is primarily due to a significant increase in mortgage origination volume, including substantial mortgage refinancing activity, that was the result of lower mortgage rates in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2002 compared to the same periods last year. For the year ended March 31, 2002, originations totaled 80,384 compared to 60,750 originations last fiscal year; loan volume was $12.45 billion compared to $8.88 billion for last fiscal year; the per-loan profit was $1,137, an increase of 103% compared to $560 for last fiscal year and total mortgage applications increased 8% to 76,532 from 70,642 applications for last fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2002, per-loan profit increased primarily due to an increase in Title and Insurance revenues, an improvement in the spread between the weighted average coupon rate of loans originated by CTX Mortgage and its cost of funds and a decrease in CTX Mortgage’s cost per loan originated.

     In the normal course of its activities, CTX Mortgage carries inventories of loans pending sale to investors other than HSF-I and earns an interest margin, that we define as the difference between interest revenue on mortgage loans held for sale or investment and interest expense on debt used to fund the mortgage loans. CTX Mortgage uses short-term mortgage warehouse facilities to finance these inventories of loans. CTX Mortgage’s interest income increased 9% in fiscal 2002 to $20.6 million from $18.9 million for last fiscal year. CTX Mortgage’s interest expense for fiscal 2002 was $14.2 million, a 22% decrease from $18.1 million for last year. The increase in CTX Mortgage’s interest margin from $0.8 million to $6.4 million was primarily due to increased origination volume resulting from an increase in refinancing activities and lower interest rates on borrowings.

Sub-Prime Home Equity Lending

     Home Equity returned to profitability in fiscal 2002 after having begun to account for its securitizations completed subsequent to March 31, 2000 as borrowings rather than as sales, as discussed further below. Home Equity reported operating earnings of $25.1 million for fiscal 2002, as compared to an operating loss of $14.3 million for fiscal 2001. The increase in Home Equity’s operating earnings is primarily the result of an increase in interest margin to $101.3 million in fiscal 2002 from $30.3 million in fiscal 2001. Interest margin increased primarily as a result of an increase in the portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment.

     From October 1997 through March 2000, a majority of Home Equity’s loans originated were included in securitizations that utilized a structure that caused them to be accounted for as sales. The estimated gain on the sale of these loans was included in earnings during the period in which the securitization transaction closed. We changed the structure of securitizations beginning April 1, 2000. As a result of the change, subsequent securitizations have been accounted for as borrowings. Under this structure, we record interest over the life of the loans using the interest, or actuarial method. The mortgage loans receivable and the securitization debt remain on Home Equity’s balance sheet and the related interest margin is reflected in our income statement. The change in structure of the securitizations has no effect on the ultimate cash flow and profit recognized over the life of the mortgages. However, the change in accounting for securitizations did affect the timing of profit recognition. Interest margin, which is recognized over the life of the loan, is now Home Equity’s primary source of operating income as compared to gain on sale of loans, which previously was recognized upon securitization. As the balance of securitizations accounted for as borrowings increases, the operating earnings should continue to increase. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, originations totaled 26,955 compared to 26,418 originations for last fiscal year; loan volume was $2.09 billion compared to $1.72 billion for last fiscal year and total applications increased 16% to 172,498 from 148,702 applications for last fiscal year. Average interest

earning assets increased 152.7%, from $1,038.8 million in fiscal 2001 to $2,625.1 million in fiscal 2002, and the corresponding average interest bearing liabilities increased 164.8%, from $1,002.2 million in fiscal 2001 to $2,653.9 million in fiscal 2002, primarily due to an increase in the volume of loan originations and an increase in average loan size. The average yield earned on these assets decreased from 10.10% in fiscal 2001 to 9.38% in fiscal 2002, and the average rate paid on these liabilities decreased from 7.44% in fiscal 2001 to 5.46% in fiscal 2002, primarily due to lower interest rates in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001. The fact that the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased significantly more than the yield earned on interest earning assets decreased and the increase in originations noted above led to a 234.3% increase in net interest margin, from $30.3 million in fiscal 2001 to $101.3 million in fiscal 2002.

     At March 31, 2002, Home Equity’s total servicing portfolio consisted of 62,833 loans totaling $4.37 billion compared to 49,717 loans totaling $3.27 billion at March 31, 2001. For fiscal 2002, service fee income related to this long-term servicing was $38.2 million compared to $25.9 million for fiscal 2001.

Allowance for Losses

     Home Equity originates and purchases loans in accordance with standard underwriting criteria. The underwriting standards are primarily intended to assess the creditworthiness of the mortgagee and the value of the mortgaged property and to evaluate the adequacy of the property as collateral for the home equity loan.

     Home Equity establishes an allowance for losses by charging the provision for losses in the statement of consolidated earnings when it believes the event causing the loss has occurred. When Home Equity determines that a residential mortgage loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged against the allowance for losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

     We believe that the allowance for losses is sufficient to provide for credit losses in the existing residential mortgage loans held for investment, which include real estate owned. We evaluate the allowance on an aggregate basis considering, among other things, the relationship of the allowance to residential mortgage loans held for investment and historical credit losses. The allowance reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period. A range of expected credit losses is estimated using historical losses, static pool loss curves and delinquency modeling. These tools take into consideration historical information regarding delinquency and loss severity experience and apply that information to the portfolio at each reporting date.

     Although we consider the allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover ultimate losses. This allowance may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries.

     The allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment has increased to $14.1 million at March 31, 2002 from $2.8 million at March 31, 2001. In addition, the ratio of allowance for losses to residential mortgage loans held for investment, or the allowance ratio, increased to 0.4% at March 31, 2002 from 0.2% at March 31, 2001. Prior to April 2000, the residential mortgage loans were recorded as sales and anticipated future credit losses were considered in valuing the MSRI. As a result, no allowance for losses was necessary. After April 2000, we began recording residential mortgage loans held for investment on the balance sheet, as previously discussed, and, accordingly, began recording an allowance for losses based on management’s judgment of loss exposure. The increase in the allowance for losses occurred primarily because the amount of the residential mortgage loans held for investment increased and the residential mortgage loan portfolio continued to mature. As the age and size of the residential mortgage loan portfolio continues to mature and grow, we expect the balance in the allowance for losses, the loans charged off and the allowance ratio to continue to increase. The increase in 90+ days contractual delinquency at March 31, 2002 occurred primarily because the residential mortgage loan portfolio continued to mature.

     Construction Products’ revenues were 7% higher than the same period last year. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in cement and paperboard revenues and from a full year of sales at the Oklahoma wallboard plant that was acquired in November 2000 as discussed below. Sales volume improved for every product except concrete. However, pricing for gypsum wallboard fell 20% compared to the prior year. For the current year, Construction Products’ operating earnings, net of minority interest, represented a 24% decrease from results for the same period a year ago. Operating earnings declined primarily as a result of an 83% decrease in gypsum wallboard earnings resulting from the previously discussed decline in gypsum wallboard prices. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2002, gypsum wallboard pricing declined primarily as a result of excess supply. However, gypsum wallboard prices rebounded in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002, softening the negative impact on earnings.

     During November 2000, Construction Products purchased selected strategic assets summarized below, and assumed certain liabilities. The purchase price, including the assumption of debt, was approximately $442 million. Funding came from cash on hand and borrowings under Construction Products’ $325 million senior credit facility. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of the acquisition. The results of operations of the asset purchase since November 10, 2000 are included in Construction Products’ financial information.

     The principal assets Construction Products acquired in November 2000 were: a gypsum wallboard plant located in Duke, Oklahoma with a production capacity of 1.1 billion square feet of wallboard; a short line railroad and railcars linking the Duke plant to adjacent railroads; a recently completed 220,000 ton-per-year lightweight recycled paper mill in Lawton, Oklahoma; a 50,000 ton-per-year Commerce City (Denver), Colorado recycled paper mill and three recycled paper fiber collection sites. The Commerce City, Colorado paperboard mill was idled on April 23, 2001. The idled facility was recorded at its estimated net realizable value of $5.0 million at the purchase date, which approximates current fair market value. The paper operations are headquartered in Lawton, Oklahoma and focus primarily on the gypsum wallboard paper business.

     Construction Services’ revenues for fiscal 2002 were 0.4% higher than last year’s revenues. Operating earnings for the group improved in fiscal 2002 as a result of a continuing shift in recent years to higher-margin negotiated projects from lower-margin bid work. New Contracts Executed decreased 25% from prior year and Backlog of Uncompleted Contracts increased 8% in fiscal 2002, primarily due to uncertainties in the marketplace following the events of September 11, 2001. No long term impact from these events has been noted.

     Included in Investment Real Estate’s fiscal 2002 revenues and operating earnings was $18.7 million derived from its investment in Centex Development Company compared to $4.6 million in fiscal 2001. As noted in Note (G), “Centex Development Company, L.P.,” on pages 84-85 of this Report, the investment in Centex Development Company is not consolidated and is accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Property sales contributed revenues and operating earnings of $47.9 million and $35.8 million, respectively, in fiscal 2002 and $24.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively, in fiscal 2001. The timing of land sales is uncertain and can vary significantly from period to period.

     Fiscal 2002 operating earnings from Investment Real Estate totaled $48.1 million compared to $50.9 million in the prior year. During fiscal 2001, the remaining negative goodwill was fully accreted.

     The largest component of Centex Development Company is its International Home Building segment, which operates through Fairclough Homes Group Limited, or Fairclough, a London, England-based homebuilder. Investment Real Estate’s investment in Fairclough, through Centex Development Company, resulted in revenues and operating earnings of $12.3 million in fiscal 2002 and an operating loss of $34,000 in fiscal 2001. The increase in Fairclough’s operating earnings was primarily due to the fact that the obligation to pay a preferred distribution on certain preference shares, issued when Centex Development Company acquired Fairclough, ended at the end of fiscal 2001. For fiscal 2002 and 2001, Fairclough closed 1,387 units at an average sales price per unit of $204,251 and 1,243 units at an average sales price per unit of $203,587, respectively. Operating earnings per unit, before interest, were $10,358 and $6,339 for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     Our manufactured homes operations had an operating loss of $0.9 million for fiscal 2002 versus a loss of $26.1 million for fiscal 2001. The fiscal 2001 loss is primarily due to a noncash charge of $19.2 million. This charge primarily was comprised of $9.5 million for the impairment of goodwill related to the manufactured homes’ retail operations and $6.5 million related to the idling of two manufacturing facilities. The charge for impairment was the result of continued losses in the retail division, which are consistent with trends of losses recognized throughout this industry.

     Our home services operations reported operating earnings of $4.0 million for fiscal 2002 compared to operating earnings of $1.1 million for fiscal 2001. The increase in operating earnings primarily relates to growth in the pest and lawn operations.

     Corporate general and administrative expense increased 36% to $50.2 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $36.9 million in fiscal 2001. The increase primarily relates to higher compensation resulting from growth in our profitability. Corporate general and administrative expenses represent compensation and other costs not identifiable with a specific segment.

     Interest expense increased 17% to $115.7 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $99.1 million in fiscal 2001. Higher average debt levels, partially offset by lower interest rates, caused most of the increase in interest expense.

     Our effective tax rate increased to 38% in fiscal 2002 from 35% in fiscal 2001. The increase in state income taxes and the absence of negative goodwill accretion in fiscal 2002 primarily caused this increase.

*   “Centex” represents a supplemental presentation that reflects the Financial Services segment as if accounted for under the equity method. We believe that separate disclosure of the consolidating information is useful because the Financial Services subsidiaries operate in a distinctly different financial environment that generally requires significantly less equity to support their higher debt levels compared to the operations of our other subsidiaries; the Financial Services subsidiaries have structured their financing programs substantially on a stand alone basis; and we have limited obligations with respect to the indebtedness of our Financial Services subsidiaries. Management uses this information in its financial and strategic planning. We also use this presentation to allow investors to compare us to homebuilders that do not have financial services operations.

     We generally fund our Centex operating and other short-term needs through cash from operations, borrowings from commercial paper and other short-term credit arrangements and the issuance of medium-term notes and other debt securities. During fiscal 2003, cash was primarily used in Centex Operating Activities to finance increases in housing inventories relating to the increased level of sales and resulting units under construction during the year and for the acquisition of land held for development. The funds provided by Centex Financing Activities were primarily from new debt used to fund the increased homebuilding activity.

     We generally fund our Financial Services operating and other short-term needs through credit facilities, securitizations, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans to HSF-I and cash flows from operations, as described below. During fiscal 2003, cash was primarily used in Financial Services Investing Activities to finance increases in residential mortgage loans held for investment. The funds provided by Financial Services Financing Activities were primarily from new debt used to fund the increased residential mortgage loan activity.

     Centex Corporation currently has an investment-grade credit rating from each of the principal credit rating agencies. Our ability to finance our activities on favorable terms is dependent to a significant extent on whether we are able to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings. We attempt to manage our debt levels in order to maintain investment-grade ratings. If, however, our debt ratings were downgraded, we would not have access to the commercial paper markets and might need to draw on our existing committed backup facility, which exceeds our commercial paper program size.

     Our existing credit facilities and available capacity as of March 31, 2003 are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

(1)   This is a committed, multi-bank revolving credit facility, maturing in August 2005, which serves as backup for commercial paper borrowings. As of March 31, 2003, there were no borrowings under this backup facility, and our $600 million commercial paper program had no issuance outstanding. We have not borrowed under this facility since its inception.
 
(2)   These committed facilities were entered into by Construction Products and have no recourse to Centex Corporation. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility matures in March 2006 and the Annually Renewable Commercial Paper Conduit matures in June 2004.
 
(3)   Centex Corporation, CTX Mortgage and Home Equity, on a joint and several basis, share in a $125 million uncommitted, unsecured credit facility.
(4)   CTX Mortgage and Home Equity share in a $250 million committed secured credit facility to finance mortgage inventory. CTX Mortgage also maintains $155 million of committed secured mortgage warehouse facilities to finance mortgages not sold to HSF-I. Home Equity also maintains a $10 million committed secured mortgage warehouse facility to finance mortgages.
 
(5)   The amount of available capacity consists of $1.88 billion of committed borrowings and $113.5 million of uncommitted borrowings as of March 31, 2003. Although we believe that the uncommitted capacity is currently available, there can be no assurance that the lenders under the applicable facilities would elect to make advances to Centex Corporation or its subsidiaries if and when requested to do so.

     CTX Mortgage finances its inventory of mortgage loans principally through sales of Jumbo “A” and conforming loans to HSF-I. HSF-I acquires mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage, holds them for a period averaging between 45 and 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage by issuing investment grade senior debt obligations and subordinated certificates. The purpose of this arrangement is to allow CTX Mortgage to reduce the cost of financing the mortgage loans originated by it and to improve its liquidity. For additional

46


Table of Contents

information regarding HSF-I, see “Certain Off-Balance-Sheet and Other Obligations” on pages 49-51 of this Report.

     Home Equity finances its inventory of mortgage loans through HSF-II, a wholly-owned, consolidated entity, under a revolving sales agreement that expires upon final payment of the senior and subordinated debt issued by HSF-II. This arrangement, where HSF-II has committed to finance all eligible loans, gives Home Equity daily access to HSF-II’s capacity of $1.50 billion. HSF-II obtains funds through the sale of subordinated notes that are rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s, or S&P, Baa2 by Moody’s Investors Service, or Moody’s, and BBB by Fitch Ratings, or Fitch, and short-term secured liquidity notes that are rated A1+ by S&P, P1 by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch. Because HSF-II is a consolidated entity, the debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-II are reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services.

     Under our debt covenants, we are required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and a minimum tangible net worth. At March 31, 2003, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

     As of March 31, 2003, our short-term debt was $867.5 million, approximately $842.2 million of which was applicable to Financial Services and $25.3 million of which was applicable to Construction Products. Excluding Financial Services and Construction Products, our short-term borrowings are generally financed at prevailing market interest rates from our commercial paper programs and from uncommitted bank facilities.

     During fiscal 2003, we issued three senior notes and issued notes under a medium-term note program. The senior notes included $225.0 million at 5.80%, maturing in fiscal year 2010; $35.0 million at 5.46%, maturing in fiscal year 2008 and $300.0 million at 4.75%, maturing in fiscal year 2008. The issuance under the medium-term note program was for $15.0 million at three month LIBOR plus 1.75% (initial rate 3.36%), maturing in fiscal year 2006.

     Financial Services debt related to securitized residential mortgage loans structured as collateralized borrowings (Home Equity Loans Asset-Backed Certificates) was $4.08 billion at March 31, 2003 and has no recourse to Home Equity or Centex Corporation. The principal and interest on these notes are paid using the cash flow from the underlying residential mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on these notes is dependent upon the payment received on the underlying residential mortgage loans. The expected maturities of this component of long-term debt are based on contractual maturities adjusted for projected repayments and prepayments of principal. As is common in these structures, Home Equity remains liable for customary loan representations.

CERTAIN OFF-BALANCE-SHEET AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

     The following is a summary of certain off-balance-sheet arrangements and other obligations and their possible effects on our liquidity and capital resources.

Harwood Street Funding I, L.L.C.

     HSF-I is an unaffiliated entity established in July 1999 that is not consolidated with Financial Services or Centex Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003. Since December 1999, CTX Mortgage has sold substantially all of the Jumbo “A” and conforming mortgage loans that it originates to HSF-I in accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. When HSF-I acquires these loans, it typically holds them for a period averaging between 45 and 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage by issuing (1) securitized medium-term debt that is currently rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s, (2) short-term secured liquidity notes that are currently rated A1+ by S&P and P1 by Moody’s and (3) subordinated certificates maturing in September 2004 and November 2005, extendable for up to five years, that are rated BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moody’s. This arrangement provides CTX Mortgage with reduced financing cost for eligible mortgage loans it originates and improves its liquidity.

     Under the terms of the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage may elect to sell to HSF-I, and HSF-I is obligated to purchase from CTX Mortgage, mortgage loans that satisfy certain eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements. The maximum amount of mortgage loans that HSF-I is allowed to carry in its inventory under the HSF-I Purchase Agreement is limited to $2.50 billion.

     HSF-I’s commitment to purchase eligible mortgage loans continues in effect until the occurrence of certain termination events described in the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. These termination events primarily relate to events of default under, or other failure to comply with, the provisions, including loan portfolio limitations, of the agreements that govern the mortgage loan warehouse program but also include a downgrade in Centex Corporation’s credit ratings below BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moody’s. In the event CTX Mortgage was unable to sell loans to HSF-I, it would draw on existing credit facilities currently held in addition to HSF-I. In addition, it might need to make other customary financing arrangements to fund its mortgage loan origination activities. Although we believe that CTX Mortgage could arrange for alternative financing that is common for non-investment grade mortgage companies, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available on satisfactory terms, and any delay in obtaining such financing could adversely affect the results of operations of CTX Mortgage.

     In accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage acts as servicer of the loans owned by HSF-I and arranges for the sale of the eligible mortgage loans into the secondary market. In its capacity as servicer, CTX Mortgage must act in the best interests of HSF-I so as to maximize the proceeds of sales of eligible mortgage loans. The performance of obligations of CTX Mortgage, solely in its capacity as servicer, is guaranteed by Centex Corporation. CTX Mortgage received $13.3 million, $9.8 million and $5.0 million in fees for servicing loans owned by HSF-I in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These servicer obligations include repurchasing a mortgage loan from HSF-I in the event of a breach of the servicer’s representations and warranties, which materially and adversely affects the value of the mortgage loan and is not cured within 60 days.

     HSF-I has entered into a swap arrangement with a bank, that we refer to as the Harwood Swap, under which the bank has agreed to make certain payments to HSF-I, and HSF-I has agreed to make certain payments to the bank, the net effect of which is that the bank has agreed to bear certain interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by HSF-I. The

49


Table of Contents

purpose of this arrangement is to provide credit enhancement to HSF-I by permitting it to hedge these risks with a counterparty having a short-term credit rating of A1+ from S&P and P1 from Moody’s. Additionally, we have entered into a separate swap arrangement with the bank pursuant to which we have agreed to pay to the bank all amounts that the bank is required to pay to HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap plus a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the notional amount of the Harwood Swap, and the bank is required to pay to us all amounts that the bank receives from HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap. Accordingly, we effectively bear all interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks that are the subject of the Harwood Swap. Financial Services executes the forward sales of CTX Mortgage’s loans to hedge the risk of reductions in value of mortgages sold to HSF-I or maintained under secured financing agreements. This offsets most of our risk as the counterparty to the swap supporting the payment requirements of HSF-I. We are also required to reimburse the bank for certain expenses, costs and damages that it may incur.

     As of March 31, 2003, HSF-I owned $2.27 billion in securitized residential mortgage loans sold to it by CTX Mortgage and had $2.16 billion of outstanding securitized term debt and $0.11 billion of outstanding subordinated certificates. We do not guarantee the payment of any debt or subordinated certificates of HSF-I, and we are not liable for credit losses relating to securitized residential mortgage loans sold to HSF-I. However, we do retain certain risks related to the portfolio of mortgage loans held by HSF-I. In particular, CTX Mortgage makes representations and warranties to HSF-I to the effect that each mortgage loan sold to HSF-I satisfies the eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements discussed above. CTX Mortgage may be required to repurchase mortgage loans sold to HSF-I if such mortgage loans are determined to be ineligible loans or there occur certain other breaches of representations and warranties of CTX Mortgage, as seller or servicer. Centex Corporation guarantees CTX Mortgage’s obligation to repurchase such loans. CTX Mortgage records a liability for its estimated losses for these obligations and such amount is included in its loan origination reserve. CTX Mortgage sold $10.55 billion, $10.20 billion and $6.69 billion of mortgage loans to HSF-I and repurchased $6.9 million, $1.1 million and $0.3 million of delinquent or foreclosed mortgage loans from HSF-I during the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. CTX Mortgage recognized gains on the sale of mortgage loans of $254.6 million, $188.9 million and $153.6 million for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), which clarifies the accounting for certain entities in which equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest or the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We believe it is probable that our interest in HSF-I will qualify as a variable interest under FIN 46, resulting in the consolidation of HSF-I in our financial statements beginning July 1, 2003. The consolidation of HSF-I will increase our residential mortgage loans held for sale, with a corresponding increase to our financial services debt. The impact on our financial position and results will be dependent upon the amount of residential mortgage loans and debt held by HSF-I upon adoption of FIN 46.

3333 Holding Corporation, 3333 Development Corporation and Centex Development Company, L.P.

     3333 Holding Corporation, 3333 Development Corporation and the Partnership are entities that are neither affiliates of nor consolidated with Centex Corporation and subsidiaries at March 31, 2003. These entities were established in 1987 to broaden the range of business activities that may be conducted for the benefit of our stockholders to include general real estate development. We determined that this expansion would improve stockholder value through longer-term real estate investments, real estate developments and the benefits of the partnership form of business. The Partnership is managed by its general partner, 3333 Development Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3333 Holding Corporation. We generally are not liable for the obligations of 3333 Holding Corporation, 3333 Development Corporation or the Partnership. However, as of March 31, 2003, we guaranteed approximately $1.1 million of indebtedness of the

50


Table of Contents

Partnership. In addition, we enter into certain land purchase and other transactions with the Partnership. For additional information regarding these entities, see the Joint Explanatory Note at the beginning of this Report and the financial statements of the Partnership, filed in tandem with this Report. In addition, for information regarding these entities and Centex Corporation and subsidiaries, on an aggregate basis, see Note (G), “Centex Development Company, L.P.,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Centex Corporation. For a discussion of the impact of FIN 46 on our accounting for transactions with these entities, see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below.

Joint Ventures

     We conduct a portion of our land acquisition, development and other activities through our participation in joint ventures in which we hold less than a majority interest. These joint ventures are typically large in nature, and partnering with other developers allows Centex Homes to share the risks and rewards of ownership while providing for efficient asset utilization. Our investment in these non-consolidated joint ventures, accounted for using the equity method, was $102.3 million and $94.6 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These joint ventures had total outstanding secured construction debt of approximately $232.5 million and $144.6 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our liability with respect to this debt, based on our ownership percentage of the related joint ventures, is limited to approximately $56.4 million and $27.9 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Under the structure of this debt, we become liable up to these amounts only to the extent that the construction debt exceeds a certain percentage of the value of the project. At March 31, 2003 and 2002, we were not liable for any of this debt. For a discussion of the impact of FIN 46 on our accounting for transactions with non-consolidated joint ventures, see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

     At March 31, 2003, we had outstanding letters of credit of $116.8 million that primarily relate to development obligations of Home Building. We expect that the obligations secured by these letters of credit will generally be performed by our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the underlying commercial obligations are performed by our subsidiaries, the related letters of credit will be released and we will not have any continuing obligations. We have no material third-party guarantees.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Some of our critical accounting policies require the use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters. Although our accounting policies are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of the accounting policies and the resulting financial statement impact. Listed below are those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Housing projects and land held for development and sale are stated at the lower of cost (including direct construction costs, capitalized interest and real estate taxes) or fair value less cost to sell. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. We assess these assets for recoverability in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” or SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the

51


Table of Contents

carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If these assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired. We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS No. 142, effective April 1, 2001. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, at the reporting unit level, by applying a fair value-based test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment would occur. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow or market valuation approach. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If the goodwill is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the future cash flows. We had no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2003.

Insurance Accruals

     We have certain deductible limits under our workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies for which reserves are actuarially determined based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Projection of losses concerning these liabilities is subject to a high degree of variability due to factors such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends and legal interpretations, among others.

Valuation of Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

     Home Equity originates and purchases loans in accordance with standard underwriting criteria. The underwriting standards are primarily intended to assess the creditworthiness of the mortgagee and the value of the mortgaged property and to evaluate the adequacy of the property as collateral for the home equity loan.

     Home Equity establishes an allowance for losses by charging the provision for losses in the statement of consolidated earnings when it believes the event causing the loss has occurred. When Home Equity determines that a residential mortgage loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged against the allowance for losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

     We believe that the allowance for losses is sufficient to provide for credit losses in the existing residential mortgage loans held for investment, which include real estate owned. We evaluate the allowance on an aggregate basis considering, among other things, the relationship of the allowance to residential mortgage loans held for investment and historical credit losses. The allowance reflects our judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period. A range of expected credit losses is estimated using historical losses, static pool loss curves and delinquency modeling. These tools take into consideration historical information regarding delinquency and loss severity experience and apply that information to the portfolio at each reporting date.

52


Table of Contents

     Although we consider the allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment reflected in our consolidated balance sheet to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover ultimate losses. This allowance may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries.

Mortgage Securitization Residual Interest

     Home Equity uses mortgage securitizations to finance its mortgage loan portfolio. For securitizations prior to April 2000, which Home Equity accounted for as sales, Home Equity retained a mortgage securitization residual interest, or MSRI. The MSRI represents the present value of Home Equity’s right to receive, over the life of the securitization, the excess of the weighted-average coupon on the loans securitized over the interest rates on the securities sold, a normal servicing fee, a trustee fee and an insurance fee, where applicable, net of the credit losses relating to the loans securitized. Home Equity estimates the fair value of MSRI through the application of discounted cash flow analysis. Such analysis requires the use of various assumptions, the most significant of which are anticipated prepayments (principal reductions in excess of contractually scheduled reductions), estimated future credit losses and the discount rate applied to future cash flows. See Note (A), “Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries for a discussion of the sensitivity of the MSRI to changes in the assumptions.

Loan Origination Reserve

     CTX Mortgage has established a liability for anticipated losses associated with loans originated and sold to HSF-I or other unaffiliated third parties. This liability includes losses associated with certain borrower payment defaults, credit quality issues or misrepresentation. CTX Mortgage estimates the losses that may be incurred for certain loan originations based on, among other factors, historical loss rates and current trends in loan originations. This liability reflects management’s judgment of the loss exposure at the end of the reporting period.

     Although we consider the loan origination reserve reflected in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2003 to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this reserve will prove to be adequate over time to cover ultimate losses in connection with our loan originations. This reserve may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” or SFAS No. 144. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” or FIN 45, which requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to make certain disclosures about guarantees, including product warranties, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are applicable only for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

The implementation of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” or FIN 46, which clarifies the accounting for certain entities in which equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest or the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods issued after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created, or in which an enterprise obtains an interest, after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies to interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2003. At March 31, 2003, we have interests in the Partnership, HSF-I and certain joint ventures that may be affected by this interpretation. The nature of these entities’ operations and our potential maximum exposure related to these entities are discussed in the financial statements of the Partnership, filed in tandem with this Report, and in Note (F), “Indebtedness,” Note (G), “Centex Development Company, L.P.,” and Note (H), “Commitments and Contingencies” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries. Management is in the process of evaluating the applicability of FIN 46 and the related accounting for our interests in the Partnership, HSF-I and our non-consolidated joint ventures.

     We have historically accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” or APB No. 25, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” or SFAS No. 123. On April 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 under which we will recognize compensation expense of a stock-based award to an employee over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value method will be applied only to awards granted or modified after April 1, 2003, whereas awards granted prior to such date will continue to be accounted for under APB No. 25.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” or SFAS No. 148, which provides for expanded disclosure concerning stock-based compensation, including disclosures in interim financial statements, and amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148’s transition guidance and provisions for annual disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As noted above, we will adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 effective April 1, 2003.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

     During fiscal 2003, we repurchased a total of 874,700 shares of common stock under our stock option-related repurchase program, which we retained as treasury stock. At March 31, 2003, we had repurchased a total of 2.5 million shares out of 3.5 million shares authorized for repurchase by our Board of Directors and retired approximately 1.4 million shares.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Various sections of this Report, including Business, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Other Developments and Outlook sections, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the context of the statement and generally arise when we are discussing our beliefs, estimates or expectations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what we express or forecast in these forward-looking statements. In addition to the specific uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report, the following risks and uncertainties may affect our actual performance and results of operations:

  Our residential Home Building operations are somewhat cyclical and sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including levels of employment, consumer confidence and income, availability of financing, interest rate levels and changes in the economic condition of the local markets in which we operate.
 
  Our residential Home Building operations are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including seasonal variations, adverse weather conditions, the availability of adequate land in desirable locations, the cost and availability of labor and construction materials, labor disputes, the general demand for housing and new construction and the resale market for existing homes.
 
  Our Construction Services operations are also somewhat cyclical and sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including overall capital spending trends in the economy, changes in federal and state appropriations for construction projects and competitive pressures on the availability and pricing of construction projects.
 
  Our Construction Services operations are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including the timing of new awards and the funding of such awards; adverse weather conditions; cancellations of, or changes in the scope to, existing contracts; the cost and availability of labor and construction materials; labor disputes; the ability to meet performance or schedule guarantees and cost overruns.
 
  Virtually all of our homebuyers finance their home acquisitions through our Financial Services operations or third party lenders. In general, our Home Building operations can be adversely affected by increases in interest rates.
 
  The results of operations of CTX Mortgage depend to a significant extent on the level of interest rates. Any significant increases in mortgage rates above currently prevailing levels could adversely affect the volume of loan originations. There can be no assurance that mortgage rates will remain at the current level in the future. Our mortgage loan operations are also dependent upon the securitization market for mortgage-backed securities and the availability of mortgage warehouse financing.
 
  Our Home Equity operations involve holding residential mortgage loans for investment and establishing an allowance for credit losses on these loans. Although the amount of this allowance reflects our

    judgment as to our present loss exposure on these loans, there can be no assurance that it will be sufficient to cover any losses that may ultimately be incurred.
 
  Demand for the products that our Construction Products operations produce is directly related to activity in the homebuilding and construction industries and to general economic conditions. Our Construction Products operations are also concentrated in particular regional and local markets that may experience

55


Table of Contents

  cyclical downturns at different times than the national economy. The price at which we sell our construction products, particularly gypsum wallboard, is highly sensitive to changes in supply and demand for such products, energy costs, raw material prices and competition from other domestic and foreign producers.
 
  All of our businesses operate in very competitive environments, which are characterized by competition from a number of other homebuilders, mortgage lenders, construction products producers and contractors in each of the markets in which we operate.
 
  We are subject to various federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations that could affect our businesses, including those concerning zoning, construction, protecting the environment and health. In addition, our businesses could be affected by changes in federal income tax policy, federal mortgage loan financing programs and by other changes in regulation or policy.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our direct debt obligations, mortgage loans receivable and residual interest in mortgage securitizations. The following analysis provides a framework to understand our sensitivity to hypothetical changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2003.

     We have utilized derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, in conjunction with our overall strategy to manage the amount of debt outstanding that is subject to changes in interest rates. We recognize amounts paid or received under interest rate swap or cap agreements as adjustments to interest expense. As of March 31, 2003, we had interest rate swap agreements that converted $1.26 billion of our variable-rate debt outstanding into fixed-rate debt.

     Financial Services originates, sells and securitizes conforming and nonconforming “A” mortgages, sub-prime first and second mortgages and home equity loans. Since December 1999 substantially all conforming, Jumbo “A” and GNMA-eligible mortgages have been sold to HSF-I at or near the date on which the loans were funded. As a result of the Harwood Swap and related swap agreements, as previously described in “Certain Off-Balance Sheet and Other Obligations,” we effectively bear all interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the Harwood Swap. Financial Services executes the forward sales of CTX Mortgage’s loans to hedge the risk of reductions in value of mortgages sold to HSF-I or maintained under secured financing agreements. This offsets most of our risk as the counterparty to the swap supporting the payment requirements of HSF-I. CTX Mortgage, acting as manager of HSF-I, delivers mortgages held by HSF-I to third party purchasers generally within 60 days of origination. Due to the high degree of liquidity in the “A” mortgage market and the frequency of loan sales and securitizations, the use of forward sales is an effective hedge against changes in market value that result from changes in interest rates.

     Home Equity uses interest rate swaps to hedge the market risk associated with the carrying of mortgages in anticipation of issuance of securitization debt to finance sub-prime mortgages. Home Equity will generally hold mortgages in anticipation of securitization for up to 120 days. Home Equity also uses interest rate swaps, included in the balance above, that, in effect, fix the interest rate on its variable interest rate debt.

     Prior to fiscal 2001, Home Equity retained the MSRI from its securitized pools of mortgages. As of March 31, 2003, our total MSRI was $108.1 million, comprised of $106.4 million related to Home Equity and $1.7 million related to CTX Mortgage. CTX Mortgage’s MSRI resulted from an acquisition in fiscal 2002. We continually monitor the fair value of the MSRI and review the factors expected to influence the future constant prepayment rate, or CPR, discount rates and credit losses. In developing assumptions

56


Table of Contents

regarding expected future CPR, we consider a variety of factors, many of which are interrelated. These factors include historical performance, origination channels, characteristics of borrowers, such as credit quality and loan-to-value relationships, and market factors that influence competition. If changes in assumptions regarding future CPR, discount rates or credit losses are necessary, the MSRI fair value is adjusted accordingly.

     We utilize both short-term and long-term debt in our financing strategy. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair market value of the debt instrument but do affect our future earnings and cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay any of our fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on the fixed-rate debt until we are required to refinance such debt.

     As of March 31, 2003, short-term debt was $867.5 million, approximately $842.2 million of which was applicable to Financial Services and $25.3 million of which was applicable to Construction Products. The majority of Financial Services’ debt is collateralized by residential mortgage loans. We borrow on a short-term basis in the commercial paper market under a $600 million program size supported by a $700 million revolving credit facility due in 2005 and from banks under uncommitted lines that bear interest at prevailing market rates. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2003 was 1.6%.

     The maturities of Centex’s long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2003 were as follows. We define Centex as a supplemental presentation that reflects the Financial Services segment as it accounted for under the equity method.

     The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing of borrowings collateralized by securitized residential mortgage loans structured as borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2003. The principal and interest on this debt is paid using the cash flows from the underlying mortgage receivables, which serve as collateral for this debt. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on this debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage receivables. The amounts shown within a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the debt, except (1) fixed-rate mortgage securities reflect estimated prepayments, which were estimated based on the results of a prepayment model we utilize, and empirical data, and (2) adjustable-rate debt is included in the period in which it is first scheduled to adjust and not in the period in which it matures. We believe that these assumptions approximate actual experience and consider them reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from the historical experience on which we base the assumptions.

Centex Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(A) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) after the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

Balance sheet and cash flows data is presented in the following categories:

    Centex Corporation and Subsidiaries. This represents the consolidation of Centex, Financial Services and all of their consolidated subsidiaries. The effects of transactions among related companies within the consolidated group have been eliminated.
 
    Centex. This information is presented as supplemental information and represents the consolidation of all subsidiaries other than those included in Financial Services, which are presented on an equity basis of accounting.
 
    Financial Services. This information is presented as supplemental information and represents Centex Financial Services and its subsidiaries.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

     Revenues from Home Building projects and Investment Real Estate are recognized when homes and properties are sold and title passes.

     Revenues from the sale of mortgage loans, mortgage servicing rights and loan origination fees are recognized when the related loan is sold to a third-party purchaser.

     Interest revenues on residential mortgage loans receivable are recognized as revenue using the interest (actuarial) method. Revenue accruals are suspended, except for revenue accruals related to insured mortgage loans, when the residential mortgage loan becomes contractually delinquent for 90 days or more. The accrual is resumed when the residential mortgage loan becomes less than 90 days contractually delinquent. At March 31, 2003 and 2002, residential mortgage loans, on which revenue was not being accrued, were approximately $167.1 million and $83.5 million, respectively.

     Revenue from the sale of cement, wallboard, paperboard and concrete and aggregates is recognized when goods are shipped.

     Long-term construction contract revenues are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on the costs incurred relative to total estimated costs. Full provision is made for any anticipated losses. Billings for long-term construction contracts are rendered monthly, including the amount of

68


Table of Contents

retainage withheld by the customer until contract completion. As a general contractor, the Company withholds similar retainages from each subcontractor. Retainages of $87.5 million and $72.9 million included in construction contracts receivable and $99.9 million and $76.1 million included in accounts payable at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are generally receivable and payable within one year.

     Claims related to long-term construction contracts are recognized as revenue only after management has determined that the collection is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Claims of $0, $1.8 million and $0 are included in revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (“fiscal 2003,” “fiscal 2002” and “fiscal 2001”), respectively.

     Revenue for manufactured homes is recognized at the time of shipment, which is when title passes, for the manufacturing company and when homes are sold and shipped and title passes for home sales by the retail operations. For the Company’s home services operations, revenue is recognized at the time the services are rendered.

Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, par value $.25 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed based upon the basic weighted-average number of shares plus the dilution of the stock options and a convertible debenture.

     The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes anti-dilutive options to purchase 852,000 shares of Common Stock at an average price of $50.43 for the year ended March 31, 2003. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes anti-dilutive options to purchase 1,700 shares of Common Stock at an average price of $46.07 for the year ended March 31, 2002. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes anti-dilutive options to purchase 3,312,000 shares of Common Stock at an average price of $35.24 for the year ended March 31, 2001. Anti-dilutive options at March 31, 2003, have expiration dates ranging from July 2008 to December 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

     Restricted cash primarily represents cash in principal and interest accounts pending remittance into the securitization trusts related to securitizations by Centex Home Equity Company, L.L.C. (“Home Equity”).

Residential Mortgage Loans

     Residential mortgage loans held for investment represent mortgage loans originated by Home Equity, which are securitized and recorded as secured borrowings in the financial statements using the portfolio method. These mortgage loans are stated at cost less an allowance for losses. Residential mortgage loans held for sale represent mortgage loans originated by CTX Mortgage Company, L.L.C. (“CTX Mortgage”), which will be sold to third parties and recorded as sales. These mortgage loans are stated at the lower of cost or market. Market is determined by forward sale commitments, current investor yield requirements and current market conditions. Substantially all of the mortgage loans are delivered to third-party purchasers and/or subjected to securitization within three months after origination. These loans

69


Table of Contents

are subject to hedge instruments during the time they are held in inventory. Substantially all of the mortgage loans are pledged as collateral for secured financings.

     Home Equity establishes an allowance for losses by charging the provision for losses in the statements of consolidated earnings when it believes the event causing the loss has occurred. When Home Equity determines that a residential mortgage loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged to the allowance for losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

     Home Equity believes that the allowance for losses is sufficient to provide for credit losses in the existing residential mortgage loans held for investment, which include real estate owned. Home Equity evaluates the allowance on an aggregate basis considering, among other things, the relationship of the allowance to residential mortgage loans held for investment and historical credit losses. The allowance reflects Home Equity's judgment of the present loss exposure at the end of the reporting period. A range of expected credit losses is estimated using historical losses, static pool loss curves and delinquency modeling. These tools take into consideration historical information regarding delinquency and loss severity experience and apply that information to the portfolio at each reporting date.

     CTX Mortgage has established a liability for anticipated losses associated with loans originated and sold to HSF-I or other unaffiliated third parties. This liability includes losses associated with certain borrower payment defaults, credit quality issues or misrepresentation.

     CTX Mortgage estimates the losses that may be incurred for certain loan originations based on, among other factors, historical loss rates and current trends in loan originations. This liability reflects management’s judgment of the loss exposure at the end of the reporting period.

     Although Home Equity and CTX Mortgage consider the allowance for losses on residential mortgage loans held for investment and the loan origination reserve reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2003 to be adequate, there can be no assurance that this allowance or reserve will prove to be adequate over time to cover ultimate losses. This allowance and reserve may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries.

Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable

     Trade accounts receivable primarily consist of accrued interest, amounts related to securitizations, sale of servicing rights, closed unfunded home sales receivables and trade sales related to the Company’s Financial Services, Home Building and Construction Products segments and are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Notes receivable at March 31, 2003 are collectible primarily over four years with $18.4 million being due within one year. The weighted-average interest rate on notes receivable at March 31, 2003 was 4.5%.

Inventory, Capitalization and Segment Expenses

     Housing projects and land held for development and sale are stated at the lower of cost (including direct construction costs, capitalized interest and real estate taxes) or fair value less cost to sell. The capitalized costs, other than interest, are included in the Home Building and Investment Real Estate costs and expenses in the Statement of Consolidated Earnings when related revenues are recognized. Interest costs relieved from inventories are included as interest expense.

70


Table of Contents

     Construction Products inventories are stated at the lower of average cost (including applicable material, labor and plant overhead) or market.

     General operating expenses associated with each segment of business are expensed when incurred and are included in the appropriate business segment.

Investments

     The Company maintains an investment in Centex Development Company, L.P. and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”). The investment is not consolidated and is accounted for on the equity method of accounting. See Note (G), “Centex Development Company, L.P.,” for additional information regarding the Partnership.

     The Company is a participant in certain joint ventures with interests ranging from 20% to 50%. The investments in these joint ventures are carried on the equity method in the consolidated financial statements, except for Construction Products’ 50% joint venture interests in its cement operations in Illinois and Texas. Construction Products has proportionately consolidated its pro rata interest in the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of those extractive industry ventures.

     The earnings or losses of the Company’s investment in the Partnership and joint ventures are included in the appropriate business segment.

Property and Equipment, net

     Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciable lives for Buildings and Improvements typically range from 7 to 40 years; depreciable lives for Machinery, Equipment and Other typically range from 2 to 10 years and depreciable lives for Plants typically range from 20 to 30 years. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or sold are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are recognized at such time.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     The Company assesses housing projects, land held for development and sale and property and equipment for recoverability in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If these assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

     In fiscal 2003 the Company recorded impairments of $11.5 million, comprised of $4.9 million related to Manufactured Homes and $2.4 million related to Construction Services, both for the impairment of property and equipment, $2.2 million related to the write-down of inventory to market by Manufactured Homes and $2.0 million related to the impairment of property held for sale by Investment Real Estate.

Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), effective April 1, 2001. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, at the reporting unit level, by applying a fair value-based test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment would occur. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow or market valuation approach. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If the goodwill is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the future cash flows. The Company had no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2003. See further discussion of goodwill at Note (E), “Goodwill.”

     Negative goodwill arose in conjunction with the combination of Centex Real Estate Corporation with Vista Properties, Inc. (“Vista”) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The book value of the Vista portfolio of properties was reduced after recording certain deferred tax benefits related to the combination. Negative goodwill was accreted to earnings as a reduction of costs and expenses over the estimated period during which Vista’s tax benefits were realized and the land was developed and/or sold. During fiscal 2001, negative goodwill was fully accreted.

Mortgage Securitization Residual Interest

     Home Equity uses mortgage securitizations to finance its mortgage loan portfolio. Securitizations entered into prior to March 31, 2000 were accounted for as sales, and the resulting gains on such sales were reported in operating results during the period in which the securitizations closed. Home Equity changed the legal and economic structure of securitizations subsequent to March 31, 2000, causing securitizations after that date to be accounted for as secured borrowings.

     For securitizations accounted for as sales, Home Equity retained a residual interest (the “Mortgage Securitization Residual Interest” or “MSRI”). The MSRI represents the present value of Home Equity’s right to receive, over the life of the securitization, the excess of the weighted-average coupon on the loans securitized over the interest rates on the securities sold, a normal servicing fee, a trustee fee and an insurance fee, where applicable, net of the credit losses relating to the loans securitized.

     Changes in Home Equity’s MSRI were as follows:

                         
    For the Years Ended March 31,  
   
 
    2003     2002     2001  
   
   
   
 
Beginning Balance
  $ 122,316     $ 146,394     $ 160,999  
Cash Received
    (17,193 )     (32,281 )     (24,937 )
Accretion and Other
    1,250       8,203       10,332  
 
 
   
   
 
Ending Balance
  $ 106,373     $ 122,316     $ 146,394  
 
 
   
   
 

     The Company classifies MSRI as trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and accordingly, carries MSRI at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet.

Table of Contents

     Home Equity estimates the fair value of MSRI through the application of discounted cash flow analysis. Such analysis requires the use of various assumptions, the most significant of which are anticipated prepayments (principal reductions in excess of contractually scheduled reductions), estimated future credit losses and the discount rate applied to future cash flows. Home Equity continuously monitors the fair value of MSRI and the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions in light of current market conditions.

     At March 31, 2003, Home Equity used the following assumptions in monitoring the fair value of the MSRI: cumulative credit losses of 3.98% to 5.24%; Constant Prepayment Rate (“CPR”) for fixed rate loans of 22% to 25% per annum (life to date); a CPR of 25% to 30% per annum (life to date) for variable rate loans; and a discount rate of 15% simple interest. At March 31, 2003, the expected weighted-average life of Home Equity’s MSRI balance was 2.8 years, with individual transactions ranging from 1.4 years to 3.3 years.

     Home Equity had MSRI of $106.4 million and $122.3 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The outstanding principal amount of the related securitized loans was $785.8 million and $1.09 billion at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Delinquencies related to MSRI were $51.0 million and $61.2 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net credit losses for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $22.4 million, $17.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

     At March 31, 2003, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the MSRI to an immediate 10 percent and 20 percent unfavorable change in assumptions is presented in the table below. These sensitivities are based on assumptions used to value our MSRI at March 31, 2003.

                 
    Impact on fair value of an adverse change  
   
 
Assumption   10%     20%  

 
   
 
Credit Losses
  $ 2,404     $ 4,812  
Constant Prepayment Rate
  $ 3,342     $ 6,298  
Discount Rate
  $ 4,034     $ 7,873  

     These sensitivities are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As the figures indicate, the change in fair value based on a 10 percent variation in assumptions cannot necessarily be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residual cash flow is calculated independently from any change in another assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may contribute to changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Furthermore, the estimated fair values as disclosed should not be considered indicative of future earnings on these assets.

     In addition to Home Equity’s MSRI, CTX Mortgage also had MSRI of $1.7 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. CTX Mortgage’s MSRI resulted from an acquisition in fiscal 2002.

Deferred Charges and Other

     Deferred charges and other are primarily composed of deferred home security system installation costs, loan fees, deposits, investments, prepaid expenses, securitization costs and other financing costs.

Table of Contents

Advertising Costs

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The advertising costs for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $78.6 million, $78.9 million and $67.0 million, respectively.

Off-Balance-Sheet Obligations

     The Company enters into various “off-balance-sheet” transactions in the normal course of business in order to reduce financing costs and improve access to liquidity, facilitate homebuilding activities and manage exposure to changing interest rates. Further discussion regarding these transactions can be found in Note (F), “Indebtedness,” and (M), “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Insurance Accruals

     The Company has certain deductible limits under its workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance policies for which reserves are actuarially determined based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Projection of losses concerning these liabilities is subject to a high degree of variability due to factors such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends and legal interpretations. Expenses associated with insurance claims up to our deductible limits were $21.0 million, $24.8 million and $11.4 million for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Arrangements

     The Company has historically accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). On April 1, 2003, the Company will adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 under which the Company will recognize compensation expense of a stock option award to an employee over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value method will be applied only to awards granted or modified after April 1, 2003 (the prospective method), whereas awards granted prior to such date will continue to be accounted for under APB No. 25.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), which requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to make certain disclosures about guarantees, including product warranties, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are applicable only for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The implementation of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), which clarifies the accounting for certain entities in which equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest or the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods issued after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created, or in which an enterprise obtains an interest, after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies to interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2003. At March 31, 2003, the Company has interests in the Partnership, Harwood Street Funding I, L.L.C. (“HSF-I”) and certain joint ventures that may be affected by this interpretation. In accordance with FIN 46, the nature of these entities’ operations and the Company’s potential maximum exposure related to these entities are discussed in the financial statements of the Partnership, filed in tandem with this Report, and in Note (F), “Indebtedness,” Note (G), “Centex Development Company, L.P.,” and Note (H), “Commitments and Contingencies.”

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”), which provides for expanded disclosure concerning stock-based compensation, including disclosures in interim financial statements, and amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148’s transition guidance and provisions for annual disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As noted above, the Company will adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 effective April 1, 2003.

     Financial Services debt related to securitized residential mortgage loans structured as collateralized borrowings (Home Equity Loans Asset-Backed Certificates) was $4.08 billion at March 31, 2003 and has no recourse to Home Equity or Centex Corporation. The principal and interest on these notes are paid using the cash flow from the underlying residential mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on these notes is dependent upon the payment received on the underlying residential mortgage loans. The expected maturities of this component of long-term debt are based on contractual maturities adjusted for projected repayments and prepayments of principal. As is common in these structures, Home Equity remains liable for customary loan representations.

Table of Contents

     Included in other long-term debt is a $2.1 million convertible subordinated debenture sold at par in 1985 to a corporate officer. The indebtedness, which matures in 2010, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% and is convertible into 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with this transaction, the Company has guaranteed the payment of a $2.1 million note payable to a bank by the officer. For further discussion of this debenture, see Note (P), “Subsequent Events.”

     Under the Company’s debt covenants, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and a minimum tangible net worth. At March 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.

(1)   This is a committed, multi-bank revolving credit facility, maturing in August 2005, which serves as backup for commercial paper borrowings. As of March 31, 2003, there were no borrowings under this backup facility, and the Company’s $600 million commercial paper program had no issuance outstanding. There have been no borrowings under this facility since its inception.
 
(2)   These committed facilities were entered into by Construction Products and have no recourse to Centex Corporation. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility matures in March 2006 and the Annually Renewable Commercial Paper Conduit matures in June 2004.
 
(3)   Centex Corporation, CTX Mortgage and Home Equity, on a joint and several basis, share in a $125 million uncommitted, unsecured credit facility.
 
(4)   CTX Mortgage and Home Equity share in a $250 million committed secured credit facility to finance mortgage inventory. CTX Mortgage also maintains $155 million of committed secured mortgage warehouse facilities to finance mortgages not sold to HSF-I. Home Equity also maintains a $10 million committed secured mortgage warehouse facility to finance mortgages.
(5)   The amount of available capacity consists of $1.88 billion of committed borrowings and $113.5 million of uncommitted borrowings as of March 31, 2003. Although the Company believes that the uncommitted capacity is currently available, there can be no assurance that the lenders under the applicable facilities would elect to make advances to the Company or its subsidiaries if and when requested to do so.

Table of Contents

     Home Equity finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for investment through Harwood Street Funding II, L.L.C. (“HSF-II”), a wholly-owned, consolidated entity, under a revolving sales agreement that expires upon final payment of the senior and subordinated debt issued by HSF-II. This arrangement, where HSF-II has committed to finance all eligible loans, gives Home Equity daily access to HSF-II’s capacity of $1.50 billion. HSF-II obtains funds through the sale of subordinated notes that are rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), Baa2 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and BBB by Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) and short-term secured liquidity notes that are rated A1+ by S&P’s, P1 by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch. Because HSF-II is a consolidated entity, the debt, interest income and interest expense of HSF-II are reflected in the financial statements of Financial Services.

     Harwood Street Funding I, L.L.C.

     CTX Mortgage finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale principally through sales of Jumbo “A” and conforming loans to HSF-I, an unaffiliated entity established in 1999 that is not consolidated with Financial Services or Centex at March 31, 2003, pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement (the “HSF-I Purchase Agreement”). Since 1999, CTX Mortgage has sold substantially all of the Jumbo “A” and conforming mortgage loans that it originates to HSF-I in accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. When HSF-I acquires these loans, it typically holds them for a period averaging between 45 and 60 days and then resells them into the secondary market. HSF-I obtains the funds needed to purchase eligible mortgage loans from CTX Mortgage by issuing (1) securitized medium-term debt that is currently rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s, (2) short-term secured liquidity notes that are currently rated A1+ by S&P and P1 by Moody’s and (3) subordinated certificates maturing in September 2004 and November 2005, extendable for up to five years, that are rated BBB by S&P and Baa2 by Moody’s. This arrangement provides CTX Mortgage with reduced financing cost for eligible mortgage loans it originates and improves its liquidity.

     Under the terms of the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage may elect to sell to HSF-I, and HSF-I is obligated to purchase from CTX Mortgage, mortgage loans that satisfy certain eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements. At March 31, 2003, the maximum amount of mortgage loans that HSF-I is allowed to carry in its inventory under the HSF-I Purchase Agreement is limited to $2.50 billion.

     HSF-I’s commitment to purchase eligible mortgage loans continues in effect until the occurrence of certain termination events described in the HSF-I Purchase Agreement. These termination events primarily relate to events of default under, or other failure to comply with, the provisions, including loan portfolio limitations, of the agreements that govern the mortgage loan warehouse program but also include a downgrade in Centex Corporation’s credit ratings below BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moody’s. In the event CTX Mortgage was unable to sell loans to HSF-I, it would draw on existing credit facilities currently held in addition to HSF-I. In addition, it might need to make other customary financing arrangements to fund its mortgage loan origination activities. Although the Company believes that CTX Mortgage could arrange for alternative financing that is common for non-investment grade mortgage companies, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available on satisfactory terms, and any delay in obtaining such financing could adversely affect the results of operations of CTX Mortgage.

     In accordance with the HSF-I Purchase Agreement, CTX Mortgage acts as servicer of the loans owned by HSF-I and arranges for the sale of the eligible mortgage loans into the secondary market. In its capacity as servicer, CTX Mortgage must act in the best interest of HSF-I so as to maximize the proceeds of sales of eligible mortgage loans. The performance of obligations of CTX Mortgage, in its capacity as servicer, is guaranteed by Centex. CTX Mortgage received $13.3 million, $9.8 million and $5.0 million in fees for servicing loans owned by HSF-I in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These servicer obligations include repurchasing a mortgage loan from HSF-I in the event of a breach of the servicer’s

representations and warranties, which materially and adversely affects the value of the mortgage loan and is not cured within 60 days.

     HSF-I has entered into a swap arrangement with a bank (the “Harwood Swap”) under which the bank has agreed to make certain payments to HSF-I, and HSF-I has agreed to make certain payments to the bank, the net effect of which is that the bank has agreed to bear certain interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks related to the mortgage loans held by HSF-I. The purpose of this arrangement is to provide credit enhancement to HSF-I by permitting it to hedge these risks with a counterparty having a short-term credit rating of A1+ from S&P and P1 from Moody’s. Additionally, the Company has entered into a separate swap arrangement with the bank pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay to the bank all amounts that the bank is required to pay to HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap plus a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the notional amount of the Harwood Swap, and the bank is required to pay to the Company all amounts that the bank receives from HSF-I pursuant to the Harwood Swap. Accordingly, the Company effectively bears all interest rate risks, non-credit related market risks and prepayment risks that are the subject of the Harwood Swap. Financial Services executes the forward sales of CTX Mortgage’s loans to hedge the risk of reductions in value of mortgages sold to HSF-I or maintained under secured financing agreements. This offsets most of the Company’s risk as the counterparty to the swap supporting the payment requirements of HSF-I. The Company is also required to reimburse the bank for certain expenses, costs and damages that it may incur.

     As of March 31, 2003, HSF-I owned $2.27 billion in securitized residential mortgage loans sold to it by CTX Mortgage and had $2.16 billion of outstanding securitized term debt and $0.11 billion of outstanding subordinated certificates. The Company does not guarantee the payment of any debt or subordinated certificates of HSF-I and is not liable for credit losses relating to securitized residential mortgage loans sold to HSF-I. However, the Company retains certain risks related to the portfolio of mortgage loans held by HSF-I. In particular, CTX Mortgage makes representations and warranties to HSF-I to the effect that each mortgage loan sold to HSF-I satisfies the eligibility criteria and portfolio requirements discussed above. CTX Mortgage may be required to repurchase mortgage loans sold to HSF-I if such mortgage loans are determined to be ineligible loans or there occur certain other breaches of representations and warranties of CTX Mortgage, as seller or servicer. CTX Mortgage’s obligation to repurchase such loans is guaranteed by Centex Corporation. CTX Mortgage records a liability for its estimated losses for these obligations and such amount is included in its loan origination reserve. CTX Mortgage sold $10.55 billion, $10.20 billion and $6.69 billion of mortgage loans to HSF-I and repurchased $6.9 million, $1.1 million and $0.3 million of delinquent or foreclosed mortgage loans from HSF-I during the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. CTX Mortgage recognized gains on the sale of mortgage loans of $254.6 million, $188.9 million and $153.6 million for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, which clarifies accounting for certain entities in which equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest or the entity is unable to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company believes it is probable that its interest in HSF-I will qualify as a variable interest under FIN 46, resulting in the consolidation of HSF-I in its financial statements beginning July 1, 2003. The consolidation of HSF-I will increase the Company’s residential mortgage loans held for sale, with a corresponding increase to the Company’s financial services debt. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results will be dependent upon the amount of residential mortgage loans and debt held by HSF-I upon adoption of FIN 46.

(G) CENTEX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.

     Centex Development Company, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a master limited partnership formed by the Company in March 1987 to broaden the range of business activities that may be conducted for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders to include general real estate development. The Company believed that this expansion would improve stockholder value through longer-term real estate investments, real estate developments and the benefits of the partnership form of business.

     The Partnership is authorized to issue three classes of limited partnership interest. The Company indirectly holds 100% of the Partnership’s Class A and Class C limited partnership units (“Class A Units” and “Class C Units,” respectively), which are collectively convertible into 20% of the Partnership’s Class B limited partnership units (“Class B Units”). The Partnership may issue additional Class C Units in connection with the acquisition of real property and other assets. No Class B Units have been issued. However, the stockholders of the Company hold warrants to purchase approximately 80% of the Class B Units. The warrants are held through a nominee arrangement and trade in tandem with the common stock of Centex Corporation.

     As holder of the Class A and Class C Units, the Company is entitled to a cumulative preferred return of 9% per annum on the average outstanding balance of its capital contributions to the Partnership, adjusted for cash and other distributions representing return of capital. As of March 31, 2003, these adjusted capital contributions, or Unrecovered Capital, were $241.1 million. Preference payments in arrears totaled $42.0 million after a preference payment of $21.1 million on March 31, 2003.

     The Partnership is managed by its general partner, 3333 Development Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3333 Holding Corporation (“Holding”). The common stock of Holding is held by the stockholders of the Company through a nominee arrangement and trades in tandem with the common stock of Centex Corporation. The stockholders of the Company elect the four-person board of directors of Holding, three of whom are independent outside directors who are not directors, affiliates or employees of the Company. Thus, through Holding, the stockholders of the Company control the general partner of the Partnership. The general partner, through its independent board and the independent board of Holding, including its non-executive Chairman, oversees the Partnership’s activities, including the acquisition, development, maintenance, operation and sale of properties. Consent of the limited partners for the activities of the Partnership is not required, and the limited partners cannot remove the general partner. As a result, at March 31, 2003, the Company accounts for its limited partnership interest in the Partnership using the equity method of accounting for investments. The Company’s accounting for its investment in the Partnership may be impacted by FIN 46. Management is in the process of evaluating the applicability of FIN 46 and the related accounting for this investment.

     Supplementary condensed combined financial statements for Centex Corporation and subsidiaries, Holding and subsidiary and the Partnership and subsidiaries are set forth below. For additional information on Holding and subsidiary and the Partnership and subsidiaries, see their separate financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Report.

(H) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company conducts a portion of its land acquisition, development and other activities through its participation in joint ventures in which the Company holds less than a majority interest. These joint ventures are typically large in nature, and partnering with other developers allows Centex Homes to share the risks and rewards of ownership while providing for efficient asset utilization. The Company’s investment in these non-consolidated joint ventures was $102.3 million and $94.6 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These joint ventures had total outstanding secured construction debt of approximately $232.5 million and $144.6 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company’s liability with respect to this debt, based on its ownership percentage of the related joint ventures, is limited to approximately $56.4 million and $27.9 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Under the structure of this debt, the Company becomes liable up to these amounts only to the extent that the construction debt exceeds a certain percentage of the value of the project. At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company was not liable for any of this debt. The Company’s accounting for its investment in non-consolidated joint ventures may be impacted by FIN 46. Management is in the process of evaluating the applicability of FIN 46 and the related accounting for these investments.

     In order to ensure the future availability of land for homebuilding, the Company has deposited or invested with third parties $82.2 million, as of March 31, 2003, as options toward the purchase of undeveloped land and developed lots having a total purchase price of approximately $2.03 billion. These options include amounts related to agreements with the Partnership, as discussed in Note (N), “Related Party Transactions,” below. These options, which do not contain performance requirements from the Company, expire at various dates through the year 2010.

     In the normal course of its business, the Company issues certain representations, warranties and guarantees related to its home sales, land sales, building sales, commercial construction and mortgage loan originations that may be affected by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s recent issuance of Interpretation No. 45. Based on historical evidence, the Company does not believe that any of these representations, warranties or guarantees would result in a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or operations. See further discussion on our warranty liability below. See further discussion of Interpretation No. 45 in Note (A), “Significant Accounting Policies.”

     Centex Homes offers a ten-year limited warranty for most homes constructed and sold in the United States. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in the first year of the home and certain designated components or structural elements of the home in the second through tenth years. In California, effective January 1, 2003, Centex Homes began following the statutory provisions of Senate Bill 800 rather than issuing a specific warranty. Centex Homes estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty program for which it will be responsible and records a liability at the time each home is closed. Factors that affect Centex Homes’ warranty liability include the number of homes closed, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. Centex Homes periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

     In the normal course of its business, the Company and/or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in certain suits filed in various state and federal courts. Management believes that none of the litigation matters in which the Company or any subsidiary is involved would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or operations of the Company.

     The Company leases certain office facilities and other equipment under operating leases. Future minimum payments under the noncancelable leases are as follows: 2004 — $47.7 million; 2005 — $39.9 million; 2006 — $31.3 million; 2007 — $25.0 million; 2008 — $25.1 million and thereafter — $49.5 million.

     Rental expense for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $43.6 million, $49.7 million and $38.5 million, respectively.

     The foreign currency translation adjustments are primarily the result of the Company’s investment in Centex Development Company, L.P. and its subsidiaries, which have separate financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. The unrealized loss on hedging instruments represents the deferral in other comprehensive income of the unrealized loss on swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. The accounting for interest rate swaps and other derivative financial instruments is discussed in detail in Note (M), “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments represents mark to market adjustments to securities available for sale by the Company.

(J) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company operates in five principal business segments: Home Building, Financial Services, Construction Products, Construction Services and Investment Real Estate. These segments operate primarily in the United States, and their markets are nationwide. Revenues from any one customer are not significant to the Company.

     Intersegment revenues and investments in joint ventures are not material and are not shown in the following tables. The investment in the Partnership (approximately $281.1 million as of March 31, 2003) is included in the Investment Real Estate segment.

Home Building

     Home Building’s operations involve the purchase and development of land or lots and the construction and sale of single-family and multi-family homes.

88


Table of Contents

Financial Services

     Financial Services’ mortgage operations consist primarily of home financing, sub-prime home equity lending and the sale of title insurance and other various insurance coverages. These activities include mortgage origination, servicing and other related services for homes sold by the Company’s subsidiaries and others. Financial Services’ revenues include interest income of $356.8 million, $266.9 million and $123.8 million in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s interest income in each year is earned by the Financial Services segment. Financial Services’ cost of sales is comprised of interest expense related to debt issued to fund its home financing and sub-prime home equity lending activities.

Construction Products

     Construction Products’ operations involve the manufacture, production, distribution and sale of cement, gypsum wallboard, recycled paperboard, aggregates and readymix concrete. The Company owned 65.1%, 65.2% and 65.2% of Centex Construction Products, Inc. at March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Construction Products’ results are shown before minority interest in the tables presented below.

Construction Services

     Construction Services’ operations involve the construction of buildings for both private and government interests including office, commercial and industrial buildings, hospitals, hotels, correctional facilities, educational institutions, museums, libraries, airport facilities and sports facilities. As this segment generates positive cash flow, intercompany interest income (credited at the prime rate in effect) of $6.2 million, $7.1 million and $9.1 million for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, is included in management’s evaluation of this segment. However, the intercompany interest income is eliminated in consolidation and excluded from the tables presented below.

Investment Real Estate

     Investment Real Estate’s operations involve the acquisition, development and sale of land, primarily for industrial, office, multi-family, retail, residential and mixed-use projects. Under the equity method of accounting for investments, Investment Real Estate also records as revenues any income or loss from its investment in the Partnership, including the International Home Building business located in the United Kingdom.

Other

     The Company's Other segment includes Corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and minority interest. Also included in the Other segment are the Company's manufactured housing and home services operations, which are not material for purposes of segment reporting. See Note (P), “Subsequent Events.”

     At March 31, 2003, the Company had $303.3 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income that, if unused, expire in fiscal years 2006 to 2023. In connection with the Company’s 2002 acquisition of NAB Asset Corporation (“NAB”), a valuation allowance of $68.0 million was established to offset the deferred tax assets of NAB at the time of acquisition. This valuation allowance was reduced by $16.4 million during fiscal 2002, of which $8.2 million was applied to goodwill and an additional $8.2 million reduced the Company’s income tax provision as a portion of those deferred tax assets was utilized. The remainder of the NAB related valuation allowance of $51.6 million was reduced to $0 in fiscal 2003 as the deferred tax assets were utilized. In addition, in fiscal 2003 the

Company utilized approximately $37.2 million of other net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had previously been established.

(L) CAPITAL STOCK AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Stockholder Rights Plan

     On October 2, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted a new stockholder rights plan (“Plan”) to replace the original rights plan, which expired on October 1, 1996. In connection with the Plan, the Board authorized and declared a dividend of one right (“Right”) for each share of Common Stock of the Company to all stockholders of record at the close of business on October 15, 1996. After giving effect to the Company’s two-for-one stock split effective March 2, 1998, and the April 2002 amendment to the Plan increasing the exercise price, each Right entitles its holder to purchase one two-hundredths of a share of a new series of preferred stock designated Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series D, at an exercise price of $210.00. The Rights will become exercisable upon the earlier of ten days after the first public announcement that a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock or ten business days after a person or group announces an offer, the consummation of which would result in such person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the Common Stock (even if no purchases actually occur), unless such time periods are deferred by appropriate Board action. The Plan excludes FMR Corp. from causing the rights to become exercisable until such time as FMR Corp., together with certain affiliated and associated persons, collectively own 20% or more of the Common Stock.

     If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or 20% or more in the case of FMR Corp.) of the Common Stock, the Rights will entitle a holder (other than such person or any member of such group) to buy, at the exercise price, a number of additional shares of Common Stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of each Right. Alternatively, if a person or group has acquired 15% or more (or 20% or more in the case of FMR Corp.) of the Common Stock, but less than 50% of the Common Stock, the Company may at its option exchange each Right of a holder (other than such person or any member of such group) for one share of Common Stock. If the Company is involved in a merger or other business combination at any time after a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or 20% or more in the case of FMR Corp.) of the Common Stock or if, after reaching such 15% threshold, the Company were to sell 50% or more of its assets or earning power, the Rights will entitle a holder to buy, at the exercise price, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring Company having a market value of twice the exercise price of each Right. In general, the Rights are redeemable at $.01 per Right until 15 days after the Rights become exercisable as described above. Unless earlier redeemed, the Rights will expire on October 12, 2006.

Stock Options

     Stock options granted under the Centex 2001 Director and Officer Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”) and the Seventh Amended and Restated 1998 Centex Corporation Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”) may not be granted at less than fair market value. Although the Centex Corporation Amended and Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan (the “1987 Plan”) provides that stock options may be granted at less than fair market value, the Company has consistently followed the practice of issuing options at or above fair market value. The 1987 Plan expired in fiscal 2002. Under all three plans, the option periods and the dates that the shares covered by the options may first become exercisable may vary within a maximum period of ten years at which time these options expire.

     The Company records proceeds from the exercise of stock options as additions to common stock and capital in excess of par value. The federal tax benefit, if any, is considered additional capital in excess of par value. The Company has historically accounted for stock options using the intrinsic value method of

93


Table of Contents

accounting as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” In general, no expense is recognized related to the Company’s stock options because the stock options are granted at or above fair market value. On April 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 under which the Company will recognize compensation expense of a stock-based award to an employee over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value method will be applied only to awards granted or modified after April 1, 2003, whereas awards granted prior to such date will continue to be accounted for under APB No. 25.

     Using the treasury stock method, which assumes that any proceeds together with the related tax benefits from the exercise of options would be used to purchase Common Stock at current prices, the dilutive effect of the options on outstanding shares as of March 31, 2003 would have been 3.0%. This is significantly less than appears on a gross basis when compared to the 60,836,091 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2003.

     See the discussion of the 1987 Plan, 1998 Plan and 2001 Plan above. The Company grants stock units, which are converted into shares of Centex Common Stock at payout, to employees under its Long-Term Incentive Plan. Awards vest over a three-year period or upon a change in control, as defined in such Plan, and are generally paid upon the earlier of seven years or retirement, although the Compensation Committee is permitted to make an early payout at its discretion. For more information on the convertible debenture held by a corporate officer, see Note (F), “Indebtedness” and Note (P), “Subsequent Events.” The Company also issues Restricted Stock under the 2001 Plan. At March 31, 2003 there were 96,850 shares of Restricted Stock outstanding.

Employee Benefit Plans

     Benefits are provided to eligible employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries under the Company’s profit sharing plans. The plans operate on a calendar year. The aggregate cost of these plans to the Company was $28.7 million in fiscal 2003, $25.2 million in fiscal 2002 and $21.6 million in fiscal 2001.

(M) DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

     The Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on its debt and other obligations. As part of its strategy to manage the obligations that are subject to changes in interest rates, the Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges as described below. The swap agreements are recorded at their fair value in Other Assets or Accrued Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. To the extent the hedging relationship is effective, gains or losses in the fair value of the derivative are deferred as a component of Stockholders’ Equity through Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Fluctuations in the fair value of the ineffective portion of the derivative are reflected in the current period earnings, although such amounts are insignificant.

     Centex Corporation and Construction Products each have interest rate swap agreements that, in effect, fix the variable interest rate at a weighted-average rate of 5.2% on $80.0 million of their outstanding debt at March 31, 2003. During the year ended March 31, 2003, there was no hedge ineffectiveness related to these derivatives. These swaps expire at varying times through October 2005. Amounts to be received or paid under the swap agreements are recognized as a change in interest incurred on the related debt instrument. Based on the balance in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at March 31, 2003 related to these derivatives, the Company would estimate increases in interest incurred over the next 12 months to be approximately $1.9 million. As of March 31, 2003, the balance in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to these derivatives was $3.8 million ($2.5 million net of tax).

     Financial Services, through Home Equity, uses interest rate swaps to hedge the market risk associated with the anticipated issuance of fixed rate securitization debt used to finance sub-prime mortgages. Changes in fair value of these derivatives are deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and recorded through current earnings as an adjustment of the interest incurred over the life of the securitization debt. Home Equity also uses interest rate swaps that, in effect, fix the interest rate on its variable interest rate debt. Amounts to be received or paid as a result of these swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest incurred on the related debt instrument. During the year ended March 31, 2003, there was no hedge ineffectiveness related to these interest rate swaps. At March 31, 2003, Home Equity was hedging $1.18 billion of its outstanding debt with these interest rate swaps at a weighted-average interest rate of 2.6%. These swaps expire at varying times through March 2006. Based on the balance in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at March 31, 2003 related to these derivatives, the Company estimates increases in interest incurred over the next 12 months to be approximately $8.8 million. As of March 31, 2003, the balance in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to these derivatives was $11.1 million ($7.2 million net of tax).

     Financial Services, through CTX Mortgage, enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with its customers under which CTX Mortgage agrees to make mortgage loans at agreed upon rates within a period of time, generally from 1 to 30 days, if certain conditions are met within the terms of the IRLCs. In order to hedge the risk of fluctuations in the value of these IRLCs and mortgage loans held by it, CTX Mortgage executes mandatory forward trades of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. CTX Mortgage also uses mandatory forward trades to hedge the Company’s obligation, created through the Harwood Swap, to protect against certain interest rate risk and non-credit related market risk related to mortgage loans held by HSF-I, an unaffiliated entity that is not consolidated with Financial Services or the Company. The Company has elected not to utilize hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133 for these

derivatives. Initially, the fair value of the IRLCs is recorded on the balance sheet as a deferred item. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the IRLCs, mandatory forward trades and swaps are recorded as an adjustment to earnings. The net change in the estimated fair value of these derivative positions resulted in a loss of $11.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2003.

(N) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Centex Homes purchased land from the Partnership during fiscal 2003 and 2002 totaling $34.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

     At March 31, 2003 and 2002, Centex Homes had $7.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively, deposited with the Partnership as option deposits for the purchase of land. Centex Homes also entered into agreements to reimburse the Partnership for certain costs and fees incurred by the Partnership in the purchase and ownership of these tracts of land. During the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, Centex Homes paid $3.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to the Partnership in fees and reimbursements pursuant to these agreements. Centex Homes expects to pay an additional $31.6 million to the Partnership to complete the purchase of these tracts of land over the next three years.

     In the last two years, Construction Services has executed contracts with the Partnership for the construction of two industrial facilities. At March 31, 2003, all contracts were completed. At March 31, 2002, the total value of such contracts was $15.0 million, of which $5.3 million was unpaid. During the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership paid $5.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively, to Construction Services pursuant to these contracts.

(O) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires companies to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities. The estimated fair values shown below have been determined using current quoted market prices where available and, where necessary, estimates based on present value methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. All assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments have been valued using historical cost accounting.

Report of Independent Auditors

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of consolidated earnings, consolidated stockholders’ equity and consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries at March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental balance sheet and cash flow data of Centex Corporation and Financial Services and the supplemental revenue and earnings data by line of business are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     On March 23, 2002, the Audit Committee of Centex Corporation’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, to replace Arthur Andersen LLP, who was dismissed as our auditors effective as of that date. This action followed the Audit Committee’s decision to seek proposals from independent accountants to audit our financial statements.

     Arthur Andersen’s audit report on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal years that ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During the fiscal years that ended March 31, 2000 and 2001 and the subsequent interim period through March 23, 2002:

     
     (i)   there were no disagreements between Arthur Andersen and us on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports;
   
     (ii)   none of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred; and
   
     (iii)   we did not consult with Ernst & Young regarding any of the matters or events described in item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

     We provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing statements. A letter from Arthur Andersen, dated March 27, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements as filed with the SEC, is attached to this Report as Exhibit 16.1.

PART B.

3333 HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
AND CENTEX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

PREFATORY STATEMENT

     Part B of this Report (pages 108-184) includes information relating to 3333 Holding Corporation, SEC File No. 1-9624, and Centex Development Company, L.P., SEC File No. 1-9625. In Part B of this Report, we refer to 3333 Holding Corporation and its subsidiary as Holding and to Centex Development Company, L.P. and its subsidiaries as the Partnership. Whenever we refer to Holding in this Part B, we are also referring to its subsidiary, 3333 Development Corporation, or Development, a Nevada corporation which is the sole general partner of the Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires. For more information regarding the structure and relationship of these entities, see the Joint Explanatory Statement on page 2 of this Report. Because the Partnership is a separate reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, the information required by Form 10-K is separately included even though the Partnership may be deemed a subsidiary of Holding under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act. We have included information relating to both Holding and the Partnership in this Report as a single disclosure where applicable or appropriate. We have set forth all other information separately. You should consider information provided with respect to the Partnership as if it is also provided with respect to Holding to the extent appropriate. You should read Part A of this Report for information relating to Centex Corporation, or Centex, and its subsidiaries.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General Development of Business

Holding

     Holding is a Nevada corporation incorporated on May 5, 1987. Holding owns all of the outstanding common stock of Development and, as a result, has the ability to control Development. Development is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The executive offices of Holding and Development are located at 2728 N. Harwood, Dallas, Texas 75201, and their telephone number is (214) 981-6770.

     Holding is not engaged in any business other than its ownership and control of Development. The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Centex Development Company, L.P., or the Partnership Agreement, governs the operations of the Partnership. It provides that neither Holding nor Development is permitted, prior to payout, as that term is defined in the Partnership Agreement, to own business interests or to engage in business activities other than those relating to the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement would have to be amended to permit Holding to engage in any other business activities.

The Partnership

     Centex formed the Partnership as a master limited partnership in March 1987 to broaden its business to include general real estate development. Centex believed that this expansion would improve stockholder value through longer-term real estate investments, real estate developments and the benefits of the partnership form of business.

107


Table of Contents

     The Partnership is authorized to issue three classes of limited partnership interest. Centex indirectly holds 100% of the Partnership’s Class A and Class C limited partnership units, which are collectively convertible into 20% of the Partnership’s Class B limited partnership units. The Partnership may issue additional Class C limited partnership units in connection with the acquisition of real property and other assets. No Class B limited partnership units have been issued. However, the stockholders of Centex hold warrants to purchase approximately 80% of the Class B limited partnership units, which we refer to in this Part B as Stockholder Warrants. These Stockholder Warrants are held through a nominee arrangement and trade in tandem with the common stock of Centex.

     As holder of the Class A and Class C limited partnership units, Centex is entitled to a cumulative preferred return of 9% per year on the average outstanding balance of its capital contributions to the Partnership, adjusted for cash and other distributions representing a return of capital. As of March 31, 2003, these adjusted capital contributions, or unrecovered capital, were $241.1 million and preference payments in arrears totaled $42.0 million. The Partnership made a preference payment of $21.1 million on March 31, 2003.

     The Partnership is managed by its general partner, Development, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding. The common stock of Holding is held by the stockholders of Centex through a nominee arrangement and trades in tandem with the common stock of Centex. The stockholders of Centex elect the four-person board of directors of Holding, three of whom are independent outside directors who are not directors, affiliates or employees of Centex. Thus, through Holding, the stockholders of Centex control the general partner of the Partnership. The general partner, through its independent board and the independent board of Holding, including its non-executive Chairman, oversees the Partnership’s activities, including the acquisition, development, maintenance, operation and sale of properties. Consent of the limited partners for the activities of the Partnership is not required, and the limited partners cannot remove the general partner. As a result, Centex accounts for its limited partnership interest in the Partnership using the equity method of accounting for investments.

     You should review Note (N), “Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital,” of the Notes to Combining Financial Statements of Holding and the Partnership included on pages 153-154 of this Report for more information regarding the capital structure of Holding and the Partnership.

Description of the Securities

     Note (L), “Business Segments,” of the Notes to Combining Financial Statements of 3333 Holding Corporation and Subsidiary and Centex Development Company, L.P. and Subsidiaries on pages 150-152 of this Report contains additional information about our business segments for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001.

     The nominee agreement among Centex, Holding, the Partnership and a nominee restricts the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Holding and the Stockholder Warrants from being transferred separately from the common stock, par value $.25 per share, of Centex. Subject to some restrictions, Centex may, in its sole discretion, terminate the nominee agreement as to all or any portion of the Stockholder Warrants and the Holding common stock, which are referred to together as the deposited securities. Unless Centex terminates it sooner, the nominee agreement will terminate as to the Stockholder Warrants on November 30, 2007. Centex is not obligated to terminate the nominee agreement as to the Holding common stock. The termination of the nominee agreement as to any of the deposited securities will cause those securities to be detached from Centex common stock. Upon a termination of the nominee agreement, certificates evidencing the interest of each holder of Centex common stock in that stockholder’s pro rata portion of the deposited securities in respect of which the nominee agreement was terminated will be delivered to the Centex stockholders of record as of the record date set for the detachment. From and after

that record date, certificates evidencing Centex common stock will no longer represent the beneficial interest in the detached deposited security.

Narrative Description of Business

     The Partnership is involved in all phases of acquisition, development and sale of industrial, office, multi-family, retail, mixed-use and residential properties. During the year ended March 31, 2003, or fiscal 2003, the Partnership operated in four segments: International Home Building, Commercial Development, Multi-Family Communities and Corporate-Other.

     As discussed below, the operations of the Multi-Family Communities segment have been restructured. Due to the risks associated with an extended development timeframe and significant capital requirements, these operations have been restructured to focus on leasing and disposition of current projects rather than new development. Effective April 1, 2003, future operations will be reported in the Corporate-Other segment.

     It is not currently anticipated that any significant capital will be allocated to new business development. Instead, our focus going forward will be on completing and leasing up our existing portfolio and continuing to take advantage of strong investor demand. We will continue to evaluate strategic portfolio acquisitions and strategic development opportunities. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in locating and securing such opportunities.

     In prior years, the Partnership operated a Domestic Home Building segment, which was sold in the year ended March 31, 2001, or fiscal 2001, to Centex’s conventional homebuilding subsidiary, Centex Homes. The Domestic Home Building segment generated revenues of $30.3 million and operating earnings of $2.8 million for fiscal 2001.

INTERNATIONAL HOME BUILDING

     The Partnership entered the International Home Building business on April 15, 1999 through the acquisition by Centex Development Company UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, of all of the voting shares of Fairclough Homes Group Limited, or Fairclough, a British homebuilder.

     International Home Building operates in five geographical regions in the United Kingdom and develops a range of products, from small single-family units to executive houses and apartments. International Home Building currently has 98 developments located throughout England and delivered 1,492 units in fiscal 2003, with prices ranging from $59,000 to $1.13 million. The average selling price was approximately $236,000.

MULTI-FAMILY COMMUNITIES

     The Multi-Family Communities segment has developed multi-family rental projects, which it has actively marketed for sale during the development period. Multi-Family Communities’ operations during fiscal 2003 included:

    completion and sale of a 323-unit rental apartment community in Lewisville, Texas;
 
    completion of a 381-unit rental apartment community in St. Petersburg, Florida;
 
    completion of a 398-unit rental apartment community in Haltom City, Texas, as the developer for an unaffiliated owner;
 
    substantial completion of a 336-unit rental apartment community in San Antonio, Texas, as the developer for an unaffiliated owner;
 
    substantial completion of a 280-unit rental apartment community in San Antonio, Texas; and
 
    continued infrastructure development for a 21-acre mixed-use development in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and sold five acres of the site to third-party and affiliated developers for construction of “for sale” housing units.

     Effective April 1, 2003, the operations of Multi-Family Communities were restructured. The responsibilities for day-to-day operations, including the completion, leasing and sale of the projects discussed above, have been assumed by personnel within the Corporate-Other segment. The future operations of remaining projects will be reflected in the Corporate-Other segment.

CORPORATE-OTHER

     The Corporate-Other segment acquires and disposes of land and other assets of the Partnership not identified with another specific business segment. Corporate-Other’s operations during fiscal 2003 consisted of the sale of 477 residential lots to Centex Homes pursuant to various option agreements.

     You should read “Item 2. Properties” for additional information concerning material properties owned by the Partnership at March 31, 2003.

Competition and Other Factors

     The Partnership’s domestic properties are generally located in areas in which there is moderate to good demand for land suitable for development. However, the Partnership is subject to substantial competition from other owners of similarly-situated or developed properties that wish to sell or develop their properties. Many of these other owners may hold more parcels than the Partnership or be in the process of developing more projects than the Partnership, or may have greater financial resources and longer operating histories than the Partnership. The Partnership’s properties are well positioned to compete with similar properties within each of these geographic areas.

     The Partnership may also compete in the acquisition of additional desirable properties with a variety of investors, including Centex and its affiliates and institutional investors and developers, seeking similar investments.

     International Home Building’s operations account for less than 1% of the new homes market in the United Kingdom. The main competitive factors affecting International Home Building’s operations include location, price, mortgage interest rates, construction costs, design and quality of homes, marketing expertise and the availability of land.

112


Table of Contents

     In order to be able to compete successfully for the acquisition of strategic land parcels, International Home Building has put in place procedures to ensure that the company expands its strategic land portfolio. At March 31, 2003, International Home Building owned or controlled land inventory for housing starts sufficient for over three years of building volume at current sales rates.

     Ownership and development of each of the Partnership’s properties is subject to licensing and regulation by zoning, land use, environmental, health, sanitation and other agencies in the country, state, county and/or municipality in which the property is located. Difficulties or failures in obtaining the required licenses or approvals could delay or prevent the development or sale of any of these properties. In addition, some of the properties may be subject to zoning or other regulatory limitations that may not permit development of these properties for their highest and best use. The ability of the Partnership to obtain favorable zoning changes may affect the ultimate value of these properties to the Partnership or to a third-party purchaser.

     Centex and its affiliates continue to be involved in many facets of real estate development and, for this reason, may be in competition with the Partnership in certain activities and projects. The relationship between Centex and its affiliates, on the one hand, and Holding, Development and the Partnership, on the other hand, from time to time involves decisions by Centex and its affiliates, directly or indirectly, on behalf of Holding, Development and the Partnership. For this reason, the transactions and activities of Holding, Development and/or the Partnership may lack the benefit of arm’s-length bargaining and may involve conflicts of interest. Holding, Development and the Partnership believe, however, that adequate safeguards, including the fact that the Boards of Directors of Holding and Development consist of a majority of independent outside directors, sufficiently prevent any of these conflicts from adversely affecting the business of Holding, Development or the Partnership. To the extent that any conflict of interest or the lack of arm’s-length bargaining may benefit Centex or its affiliates, on the one hand, or the Partnership or Holding, on the other hand, the combined value of the tandem-traded securities beneficially owned by a Centex stockholder should not be affected one way or another.

     The Partnership is not a real estate investment trust. Therefore, the Partnership’s activities are not subject to the restrictions imposed on real estate investment trusts qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Management and Employees

     As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had 605 employees, 578 of whom are employees of International Home Building, including 149 hourly-wage employees. Neither Holding nor Development have any employees. As a result, all executive management functions for Holding and Development are performed by the directors and executive officers of the Partnership. You should review the information relating to the executive officers of Holding and Development that follows Item 4 of Part B of this Report and is included in Item 10 of Part B of this Report. Some administrative and clerical services required by Holding and by the Partnership that are not provided by employees of the Partnership are provided pursuant to services agreements between the Partnership and Holding and between Holding and Centex Service Company, an affiliate of Centex. For a more complete discussion of these services agreements, you should read “Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrants — Services Agreements” and Note (O), “Related Party Transactions,” of the Notes to the Combining Financial Statements of Holding and the Partnership included on pages 155-156 of this Report.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS’ COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     We have set forth below information called for by this Item 5 with respect to Holding and the Partnership. We are also incorporating into this Item 5: (1) the Joint Explanatory Statement on page 2 of this Report, (2) the information included and referenced under the caption “Stock Prices and Dividends” on page 26 of this Report and (3) the information included in Note (N), “Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital,” of the Notes to the Combining Financial Statements of Holding and the Partnership on pages 153-154 of this Report.

Holding

     Prior to the November 30, 1987 distribution of Holding common stock to Centex stockholders, Centex owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of Holding common stock. Accordingly, there was no public market for these shares. Following the distribution, shares of Holding common stock have been tradable only in tandem with, and as a part of, shares of Centex common stock and may not be separately sold or otherwise transferred. Therefore, except with respect to the trading market established for the tandem traded securities, there is no separate market for shares of Holding common stock. Because of the tandem trading arrangement, we cannot identify precisely the portion of the market price of the tandem-traded securities allocable to shares of Holding common stock.

     Holding has not paid any dividends on shares of its common stock. Whether Holding pays future cash dividends will depend on the earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors affecting Holding and Development.

The Partnership

     The Stockholder Warrants were issued to Centex immediately prior to the distribution. Accordingly, there was no public market for the Stockholder Warrants. Following the distribution, the Stockholder Warrants have been tradable only in tandem with, and as part of, shares of Centex common stock and may not be separately sold or otherwise transferred. Therefore, except with respect to the trading market established for the tandem-traded securities, there is no separate market for the Stockholder Warrants. Because of the tandem-trading arrangement, we cannot identify precisely the portion of the market price of the tandem-traded securities allocable to the Stockholder Warrants. No dividends or distributions have been made on the Stockholder Warrants.

119


Table of Contents

     Centex Homes is the current holder of all of the Class A limited partnership units and Class C limited partnership units. Accordingly, at this time, there is no public market for these securities. At March 31, 2003, there were 32,260 Class A limited partnership units and 208,330 Class C limited partnership units outstanding. See “Item 1. Business-General Development of Business.” As of March 31, 2003, the partners’ unrecovered capital totaled $241.1 million, and preference payments in arrears amounted to $42.0 million. The Partnership made a preference payment of $21.1 million on March 31, 2003.

Restrictions on Transfer

     The nominee agreement restricts the Stockholder Warrants from being transferred separately from the Centex common stock. Centex common stock certificates issued after the date of the nominee agreement bear a legend referring to the restrictions on transfer imposed by that agreement.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL YEAR 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2002

     On a combined basis, our revenues from continuing operations were $449.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, an 18.0% increase over our revenues from continuing operations of $380.9 million for the same period last year. The revenue increase is primarily related to Corporate-Other’s sale of residential lots to Centex Homes and an increase in International Home Building’s unit closings, average unit sales price and revenues from the sale of certain land positions. However, the revenue increase was offset by a decline in Commercial Development’s and Multi-Family Communities’ sales revenues, although the decline was attributable to an accounting change as discussed below. Revenues from residential lot sales and land sales can vary significantly from period to period.

     Our operating earnings from continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2003 were $21.6 million compared to $18.2 million for the same period last year. Our net earnings from continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2003 were $17.4 million compared to $16.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating earnings and net earnings from continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2003 is primarily related to an increase in International Home Building’s unit closings, average unit sales price and earnings from the sale of certain land positions, offset by a decline in Multi-Family Communities’ earnings from property sales.

     Our net earnings from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2003 were $11.9 million. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, or SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” effective for us beginning April 1, 2002, we now report assets as discontinued operations if such assets are held for sale (as defined by SFAS 144) or if such assets are sold in the current period. We sold ten such properties during the year ended March 31, 2003. Land assets, and any other assets sold prior to adoption of SFAS 144, are reported in continuing operations.

     We continued to take advantage of the strong investor demand for quality properties, selling a number of matured assets and land positions during the year. It is not currently anticipated that any significant capital will be allocated to new business development. Instead, our focus going forward will be on completing and leasing up our existing portfolio and continuing to take advantage of strong investor demand. The International Home Building segment will remain a focus as we continue to build on momentum in this segment. We will continue to evaluate strategic portfolio acquisitions and strategic development opportunities.

     Any reference herein to we, us or our includes 3333 Holding Corporation and subsidiary and Centex Development Company, L.P. and subsidiaries.

     International Home Building’s revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003 increased by $85.2 million from revenues for the same period last year. This increase is comprised of $43.9 million from an increase in the average unit sales price, $24.8 million from an increase in the number of units closed and $16.5 million from increased sales of certain land positions. Home sales totaled 1,492 units during the year ended March 31, 2003 compared to 1,387 units during the same period in the preceding year, representing a 7.6% increase.

     International Home Building’s gross homebuilding margins increased for the year ended March 31, 2003 to 13.9% from 13.5% in the same period last year. This improvement in gross margins was primarily due to sales price increases, offset by increases in labor costs resulting from a shortage of skilled labor.

     International Home Building’s general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 8.9% for the year ended March 31, 2003 compared to 8.7% for the same period last year, primarily due to personnel additions and an increase in incentive compensation resulting from improved performance.

     International Home Building’s financial statements are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. International Home Building, whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, translates its financial statements into U.S. dollars. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period, except for significant, non-recurring transactions that are translated at the rate in effect as of the date of the transaction. For the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, the average exchange rate used for translation was 1.55 and 1.43, representing an increase of 7.9%.

     The backlog of homes sold but not closed at March 31, 2003 was 425 units, 90.6% more than the 223 units at the same point in the preceding year. We define backlog units as units that have been sold, as indicated by a signed contract, but not closed.

Table of Contents

     Multi-Family Communities’ discontinued operations during the year ended March 31, 2003 consisted of the sale of a 323-unit rental apartment project in Lewisville, Texas.

     As of March 31, 2003, Multi-Family Communities owns 661 rental apartment units under construction in Florida and Texas and is developing an additional 734 rental apartment units in Texas for unaffiliated owners. Multi-Family Communities is also redeveloping a 21-acre site in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota into a mixed-use project containing “for sale” and “for rent” housing units and related retail. As of March 31, 2003, ten acres has been utilized for project infrastructure and five acres had been sold to Centex Homes and third-party developers.

     Effective April 1, 2003, the operations of Multi-Family Communities were restructured. The responsibilities for day-to-day operations, including the completion, leasing and sale of the projects discussed above, have been assumed by personnel within the Corporate-Other segment. The future operations of remaining projects will be reflected in the Corporate-Other segment. Fiscal year 2003 results include a $574 thousand restructuring charge.

     Our Corporate-Other segment acquires and disposes of land and other assets that are not identified with another specific business segment. Fiscal 2003 revenues consist primarily of sales revenues, fees and other revenues derived from sales of residential lots to Centex Homes. Fiscal 2002 revenues included $1.8 million from sales of residential lots to Centex Homes and fees related to agreements to sell residential lots to Centex Homes, $0.5 million from the sale of commercial land in Allen, Texas, $0.4 million from the sale of a residential lot in Dallas, Texas and $0.1 million from miscellaneous sources.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased compared to the same period in the preceding year due to the addition of internal legal and marketing personnel and increased real estate taxes related to residential lots. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of debt incurred to finance the purchase of these residential lots.

FISCAL YEAR 2002 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2001

     On a combined basis, revenues from continuing operations for the Partnership and Holding for fiscal year 2002 totaled $380.9 million compared to $335.9 million for the prior fiscal year. The Partnership and Holding had combined net earnings for fiscal 2002 of $17.0 million compared to combined net earnings of $4.6 million in fiscal 2001.

     In connection with the purchase of this segment by the Partnership, the seller received $219 million in non-interest-bearing promissory notes due April 1, 2001 and retained preferred non-voting shares in Fairclough that entitled the seller to receive the net after-tax earnings of Fairclough until March 31, 2001. During fiscal 2001, Fairclough generated after-tax earnings totaling $7.8 million. The Partnership has accounted for the non-interest-bearing debt and nominal residual value preferred shares as if they were a single debt instrument. Accordingly, the Partnership recorded distributions attributable to the preferred shares as interest expense in the accompanying financial statements. After taxes, International Homebuilding generated earnings of $10.5 million and $0.2 million for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     International Home Building’s revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 increased by $37.9 million from revenues for the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in unit completions.

     Home sales totaled 1,387 units during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 compared to 1,243 units during the same period in the preceding year, representing a 12% increase. The backlog of homes sold but not closed at March 31, 2002 was 223 units, 65% more than the 135 units at the same point in the preceding year. We define backlog units as units that have been sold, as indicated by a signed contract, but not closed.

     The events of September 11, 2001 had an adverse impact on Fairclough’s operations, particularly in its Southern Home Counties division, a high-end home market around London that has a significant expatriate community. Fairclough responded to a decline in sales rates by increasing marketing efforts, purchase incentives and price discounting.

     The Partnership’s Corporate-Other segment acquires and disposes of land and other assets of the Partnership not identified with another specific business segment. Fiscal 2002 revenues included $1.8 million from sales of residential lots to Centex Homes and fees related to agreements to sell residential lots to Centex Homes, $0.5 million from the sale of commercial land in Allen, Texas, $0.4 million from the sale of a residential lot in Dallas, Texas and $0.1 million from miscellaneous sources. Fiscal 2001 revenues from the sale of real estate totaled $21.1 million, which resulted from the sale of the Domestic Homebuilding operations to Centex Homes at book value, which approximated market value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We finance land acquisition and development activities primarily from financial institution borrowings, equity contributions from third-party investors in project-specific joint ventures, seller financing, issuance of Class C limited partnership units to Centex affiliates and cash flow from operations, which is comprised largely of proceeds from the sale of real estate and operating projects.

     We typically finance properties under development through short-term variable and fixed-rate secured construction loans, and to a limited extent depending on the timing of the project construction, cash flow from operations. Construction loans totaled $74.0 million at March 31, 2003. Under the terms of various construction loan agreements, we are required to maintain certain minimum liquidity and net worth levels. At March 31, 2003, we were in compliance with these covenants.

     Permanent commercial project loans outstanding at March 31, 2003 totaled $46.2 million compared to $76.6 million at March 31, 2002. The project loans are collateralized by completed commercial properties and have original terms ranging from ten to twenty-two years with fixed interest rates ranging from 7.20% to 8.72%. These loans are non-recourse to the Partnership and its subsidiaries.

     Seller-financed land loans of $57.1 million were obtained during fiscal 2002. Outstanding balances on seller-financed loans at March 31, 2003 totaled $32.1 million, with terms of up to three years and fixed interest rates ranging from 8.00% to 9.50%. These loans are non-recourse to the Partnership and its subsidiaries.

     The International Home Building segment has secured a revolving bank credit facility of 100 million in British pounds sterling. This facility expires in April 2006, and may be extended for up to two years with lender approval. Advances under this facility totaled £44.0 million, or $69.3 million, at March 31, 2003. Under the terms of this facility, the International Home Building segment is required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios and a minimum tangible net worth. At March 31, 2003, the International Home Building segment was in compliance with all of these covenants.

     We believe that the revenues, earnings and liquidity from the sale of single-family homes, land sales, the sale and permanent financing of development projects and issuance of Class C units will be sufficient to provide the necessary funding for our current and future needs.

CERTAIN OFF-BALANCE-SHEET AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

     The following is a summary of certain off-balance-sheet arrangements and other obligations and their possible effects on our liquidity and capital resources.

Joint Ventures

     We conduct certain operations through our participation in joint ventures in which we hold less than a majority interest. These non-consolidated joint ventures had total debt outstanding of approximately $35.8 million as of March 31, 2003 and $16.1 million as of March 31, 2002. Our liability for the obligations of these non-consolidated joint ventures is limited to approximately $7.5 million as of March 31, 2003.

Letters of Credit, Guarantees and Leases

     At March 31, 2003, we had outstanding performance bonds and bank guarantees of $28.0 million that relate to projects undertaken by International Home Building and development obligations of International Home Building.

     To obtain construction financing for commercial and multi-family projects being developed by our subsidiaries, we are often required to guarantee, for the benefit of the construction lender, the completion of the project. In some instances, we have also executed recourse payment guarantees. At March 31, 2003, our subsidiaries had outstanding letters of credit of $3.9 million that primarily relate to development obligations of Multi-Family Communities.

     We expect that our subsidiaries will satisfy their loan and other contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable contractual terms. As that occurs, our liability exposure will be decreased and, eventually, we will not have any continuing obligations with respect to these projects.

     We have no material capital or operating leases.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Some of our critical accounting policies require the use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters. Although our accounting policies are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of the accounting policies and the resulting financial statement impact. Listed below are those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application.

Goodwill

     We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS No. 142, effective April 1, 2001. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to an assessment, at least annually, for impairment by applying a fair value based test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment exists. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. In evaluating impairment, we estimate the sum of the expected future cash flows derived from such goodwill. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If the goodwill is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the future cash flows.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” or SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, which includes our inventories, real estate investments and property and equipment, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. These evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If these assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The statement was effective for us beginning April 1, 2002.

     Due to the adoption of SFAS 144, we now report assets identified subsequent to March 31, 2002 as held for sale (as defined by SFAS 144), if any, and any such assets sold in the current period, as discontinued operations. All results of these discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, are included as discontinued operations in the statements of operations. Prior periods are restated for comparative purposes. Land assets, and any other assets sold prior to adoption of SFAS 144, are reported in continuing operations.

     In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” or FIN 45, which requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to make certain disclosures about guarantees, including product warranties, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are applicable only for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The implementation of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

     In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” or FIN 46, which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to certain entities in which equity investors

132


Table of Contents

do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods issued after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created, or in which an enterprise obtains an interest, after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies to interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2003. As discussed in Note (B), “Organization,” of our Notes to Condensed Combining Financial Statements, Centex indirectly holds 100% of the Partnership’s Class A and Class C Units. The manner in which Centex reports its interest in the Partnership may be affected by this interpretation. Centex and the Companies are in the process of assessing the impact FIN 46 will have on their respective financial statements. See Note (P), “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” to the consolidated financial statements of Centex included elsewhere in this Report for further discussion regarding this interpretation.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Business, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the context of the statement and generally arise when we are discussing our beliefs, estimates or expectations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. In addition to the specific uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report, the following risks and uncertainties may affect the actual performance and results of operations of the Companies:

  Our homebuilding, commercial, multi-family and land sales operations are somewhat cyclical and sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including levels of employment, consumer confidence and income, availability of financing, interest rate levels and changes in the economic condition of the local markets in which we operate.
 
  Our homebuilding, commercial, multi-family and land sales operations are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including seasonal variations, adverse weather conditions, the availability of adequate land in desirable locations, the cost and availability of labor and construction materials, labor disputes, the general demand for housing and new construction and the resale market for existing homes.
 
  All of our businesses operate in very competitive environments, which are characterized by competition from a number of other homebuilders, developers and landowners in each of the markets in which we operate.
 
  We are subject to various federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations that could affect our businesses, including those concerning zoning, construction, protecting the environment and health. In addition, our businesses could be affected by changes in federal income tax policy, federal mortgage loan financing programs and by other changes in regulation or policy.

     Other risks and uncertainties may also affect the outcome of the actual performance and results of operations of the Partnership and Holding.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Partnership has utilized both short-term and long-term debt in its financing strategy. The Partnership’s financial position is exposed to fluctuations in variable interest rates for loans obtained by its subsidiaries and joint ventures.

     For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates do not affect the Partnership’s earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates do affect the Partnership’s future earnings and cash flows. At March 31, 2003, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, had $46.2 million in fixed-rate permanent debt with a weighted-average interest rate of 8.10%. The permanent debt has monthly principal and interest debt service and has maturities ranging from 2009 to 2023. In addition, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, had $47.8 million in other fixed-rate debt at March 31, 2003 with maturities ranging from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2006. Also at March 31, 2003, the Partnership, through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, had $127.5 million in variable-rate loans. If interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual effect to the Partnership’s financial position and cash flows would be less than $1.0 million based on the balances outstanding at March 31, 2003. We cannot determine future fluctuations in interest rates. Accordingly, actual results from interest rate fluctuation could differ from the estimate presented above.

     Fairclough has entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a portion of its variable rate debt, which, in effect, fixes the interest rate on approximately 80% of its debt outstanding at March 31, 2003. In addition, Fairclough has issued promissory notes and incurred bank debt payable in British pounds sterling. As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had not utilized any forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments, to mitigate any of the associated foreign currency exchange rate risk.

     Pursuant to leases signed over the last several years, a single tenant leases 1,029,000 square feet, or approximately 49%, of the Partnership’s current commercial projects. Fiscal 2003 revenues from this tenant were approximately 30% of total rental revenues from commercial projects and approximately 41% of total rental revenues from continuing operations.

     Various Centex affiliates lease, pursuant to leases signed over the last several years, an aggregate of 157,000 square feet, or approximately 7%, of the Partnership’s current commercial projects. Various Centex affiliates also leased space in two commercial projects that were sold during fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2003 revenues from these Centex affiliates were approximately 24% of total rental revenues from commercial projects, and approximately 27% of total rental revenues from continuing operations.

and Centex Development Company, L.P. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Combining Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except per share/unit data)

(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying combining financial statements include the accounts of 3333 Holding Corporation (“Holding”) and subsidiary and Centex Development Company, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Companies”) as of March 31, 2003 and 2002 and results of operations for each of fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The financial statements of the Partnership and subsidiaries are included in the combined statements since Development, as general partner of the Partnership, is able to exercise effective control over the Partnership.

(B) ORGANIZATION

     The Partnership is a master limited partnership formed by Centex Corporation and subsidiaries (“Centex”) in March 1987 to broaden the range of business activities that may be conducted for the benefit of Centex’s stockholders to include general real estate development. Centex believed that this expansion would improve stockholder value through longer-term real estate investments, real estate developments and the benefits of the partnership form of business.

     The Partnership is authorized to issue three classes of limited partnership interest. Centex Corporation indirectly holds 100% of the Partnership’s Class A and Class C limited partnership units (“Class A Units” and “Class C Units,” respectively), which are collectively convertible into 20% of the Partnership’s Class B limited partnership units (“Class B Units”). The Partnership may issue additional Class C Units in connection with the acquisition of real property and other assets. No Class B Units have been issued. However, the stockholders of Centex hold warrants to purchase approximately 80% of the Class B Units. The warrants are held through a nominee arrangement and trade in tandem with the common stock of Centex.

     As holder of the Class A and Class C Units, Centex is entitled to a cumulative preferred return of 9% per annum on the average outstanding balance of its capital contributions to the Partnership, adjusted for cash and other distributions representing a return of capital. As of March 31, 2003, these adjusted capital contributions, or Unrecovered Capital, were $241.1 million. Preference payments in arrears totaled $42.0 million after a preference payment of $21.1 million on March 31, 2003.

     The Partnership is managed by its general partner, 3333 Development Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding. The common stock of Holding is held by the stockholders of Centex through a nominee arrangement and trades in tandem with the common stock of Centex. The stockholders of Centex elect the four-person board of directors of Holding, three of whom are independent outside directors who are not directors, affiliates or employees of Centex. Thus, through Holding, the stockholders of Centex control the general partner of the Partnership. The general partner, through its independent board and the independent board of Holding, including its non-executive Chairman, oversees the Partnership’s activities, including the acquisition, development, maintenance, operation and sale of properties. Consent of the limited partners for the activities of the Partnership is not required, and the limited partners cannot remove the general partner. As a result, Centex accounts for its limited partnership interest in the Partnership using the equity method of accounting for investments.

(C) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

     Revenues from homebuilding projects are recognized as homes are sold and title passes. Real estate sales are recognized when a buyer has made an adequate cash down payment, all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been relinquished and title has transferred to the buyer. Sales revenues related to contractually obligated improvements are deferred until such improvements have been completed. The Partnership recognizes revenues from rentals to tenants under operating leases ratably over the lease terms. Rental revenues are included in Interest and Other Income in the Combining Statements of Operations.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share/Unit

     Earnings (loss) per share/unit is based on the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of Holding common stock of 1,000 and on the weighted-average number of outstanding Class A and Class C Units of 240,591; 223,788 and 70,235 for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

     Accounts receivable primarily consist of accrued rents due from tenants, closed unfunded home sales receivables and accrued reimbursements for costs incurred at a multi-family project. See Note (K), “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further discussion of this project. Non-cancelable minimum rentals (in thousands) from operating leases during the next five fiscal years are: 2004, $12,082; 2005, $12,034; 2006, $11,449; 2007, $11,258; 2008, $11,105; and $61,020 thereafter.

     Notes receivable at March 31, 2003 are due within one year. The weighted-average interest rate at March 31, 2003 was 5.25%.

Inventory Capitalization and Cost Allocation

     Projects under development and held for sale are stated at the lower of cost (including development costs and, where appropriate, capitalized interest and real estate taxes) or fair value less costs to sell. Capitalized costs are included in cost of sales in the combining statements of operations as related revenues are recognized. Interest costs relieved from inventories are included in cost of sales. The Companies review recoverability of their inventories on an individual basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” An impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million is included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in fiscal year 2003 to reflect the difference between cost and fair value for a commercial project.

Commercial Properties, net

     Commercial real estate properties are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the acquisition, improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

     
Buildings and Improvements   5 to 39 years
Tenant Improvements   Terms of leases

     The cost of commercial real estate properties and accumulated depreciation are summarized below:

Deferred Charges and Other

     Deferred charges and other are primarily composed of loan fees, lease commissions, prepaid expenses, deposits and investments.

Property and Equipment, net

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets ranging from three to ten years. Costs and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or sold are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are recognized at such time.

Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS No. 142”), goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets are no longer amortized over their expected lives. Instead, these assets are tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level using a two-step impairment assessment. See further discussion of goodwill at Note (J), “Goodwill.”

Advertising Costs

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The advertising costs for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $5.4 million, $4.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains or Losses

     The Partnership’s International Home Building operation, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translates its financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Income statement accounts are translated using

144


Table of Contents

the average exchange rate for the period. Income statement accounts that represent significant, non-recurring transactions are translated at the rate in effect as of the date of the transaction. Gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of partners’ capital.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the fiscal 2003 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The statement was effective for the Companies beginning April 1, 2002.

     Due to the adoption of SFAS 144, the Companies now report assets identified subsequent to March 31, 2002 as held for sale (as defined by SFAS 144), if any, and any such assets sold in the current period, as discontinued operations. All results of these discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, are included as discontinued operations in the statements of operations. Prior periods are restated for comparative purposes. Land assets, and any other assets sold prior to adoption of SFAS 144, are reported in continuing operations.

     In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of

145


Table of Contents

Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), which requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to make certain disclosures about guarantees, including product warranties, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are applicable only for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The implementation of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

     In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods issued after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created, or in which an enterprise obtains an interest, after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies to interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2003. As discussed above in Note (B), “Organization,” Centex indirectly holds 100% of the Partnership’s Class A and Class C Units. The manner in which Centex reports its interest in the Partnership may be affected by this interpretation. Centex and the Companies are in the process of assessing the impact FIN 46 will have on their respective financial statements. See Note (N) to the consolidated financial statements of Centex included elsewhere in this Report for further discussion regarding this interpretation.

(D) ACQUISITION OF FAIRCLOUGH HOMES GROUP LIMITED

     On April 15, 1999, Centex Development Company UK Limited (“CDCUK”), a company incorporated in England and Wales and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, closed its acquisition of all of the voting shares of Fairclough Homes Group Limited, a British home builder (“Fairclough”). The purchase price at closing (approximately $219 million) was paid by the delivery of two-year non-interest-bearing promissory notes. A major portion of the promissory notes was secured by a letter of credit obtained by the Partnership from a United Kingdom bank. Additionally, the seller of the voting shares retained non-voting preference shares in Fairclough that entitled it to receive substantially all of the net after-tax earnings of Fairclough until March 31, 2001. During that time period CDCUK also retained the rights to participate in Fairclough’s earnings in excess of certain specified levels. During the period between April 15, 1999 and March 31, 2001, Fairclough’s operations were carried out subject to certain guidelines that were negotiated with the seller in connection with its ownership of the preference shares.

     Because the non-voting preference shares retained by the seller had the characteristics of debt, the preference obligation was reported as interest expense in the financial statements. Subsequent to March 31, 2001, CDCUK redeemed the preference shares for nominal value.

     As of March 31, 2001, the non-interest-bearing promissory notes were repaid in full (less the holdback described below) from a combination of bank borrowings, equity contributions to CDCUK from the Partnership, and a loan to CDCUK from the Partnership. CDCUK retained a $6.9 million holdback relative to CDCUK exercising its right of offset for asserted breaches of representations and warranties by the seller under the share purchase agreement. In fiscal 2002, $1.2 million of this holdback was paid to the seller and $5.7 million was dedicated to fund repair costs and claims arising out of a project completed prior to CDCUK’s acquisition of Fairclough.

(F) INVESTMENTS IN CERTAIN JOINT VENTURES

     The Partnership conducts certain operations through its participation in joint ventures in which the Partnership holds less than a majority interest. These non-consolidated joint ventures had total debt outstanding of approximately $35.8 million as of March 31, 2003 and $16.1 million as of March 31, 2002. The Partnership’s liability for the obligations of these non-consolidated joint ventures is limited to approximately $7.5 million as of March 31, 2003.

(G) NOTES PAYABLE

     Non-recourse debt totaled $78.2 million at March 31, 2003. As projects are sold, a portion of the proceeds is restricted for repayment of the note that was secured by the project sold. In addition, the Partnership, through wholly-owned single asset entities, had construction debt outstanding at March 31, 2003 totaling $74.0 million. The Partnership itself has also issued completion and payment guarantees for up to 100% of the construction loan amounts. The note balances and rates in effect were as follows:

(I) DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

     The Partnership is exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on its debt obligations. As part of its strategy to manage the obligations that are subject to changes in interest rates, the Partnership has entered into an interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge, on a portion of its debt. The swap agreement is recorded at its fair value in Other Assets or Accrued Liabilities in the condensed combining balance sheets. To the extent the hedging relationship is effective, fluctuations in the fair value of the derivative are deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Fluctuations in the fair value of the ineffective portion of the derivative would be reflected in the current period earnings. During fiscal 2003, there was no hedge ineffectiveness related to this derivative.

     This swap expires in March 2004. Amounts to be received or paid as a result of the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest incurred on the related debt instrument. As of March 31, 2003, the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss was $666 thousand ($466 thousand net of tax). If the cash flow hedge is terminated, the net gain or loss remains in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the cash flows on the hedged item affect earnings.

(J) GOODWILL

     Holding and the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) effective April 1, 2001. SFAS No. 142 provides guidance on accounting for intangible assets and eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, intangible assets, including goodwill, that are not subject to amortization will be tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level using a two-step impairment assessment. Impairment testing must be performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Holding and the Partnership tested for potential impairment, both upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and annually as of January 1, 2002, by determining whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Holding and the

148


Table of Contents

Partnership had no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2003. Identifiable intangible assets, other than goodwill, are immaterial. The Partnership’s International Home Building segment carries all of the Partnership’s goodwill, which arose from the April 15, 1999 acquisition of all of the voting shares of Fairclough. The carrying amount of goodwill was $30.7 million and $27.8 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2003 reflects the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments.

     For fiscal 2001, net earnings excluding goodwill amortization and earnings per unit excluding such amortization expense are as follows:

(K) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had remaining commitments of approximately $10.2 million on construction contracts.

     To obtain construction financing for projects being developed by its subsidiaries, the Partnership is often required to guarantee, for the benefit of the construction lender, the completion of the project. In some instances, the Partnership has also executed recourse payment guarantees. At March 31, 2003, our subsidiaries had outstanding letters of credit of $3.9 million that primarily relate to development obligations of Multi-Family Communities.

     Subsidiaries of the Partnership have also obtained demand notes or letters of credit from Centex for up to 10% of the construction loan commitment amount. These demand notes or letters of credit have been pledged or endorsed to the lenders as additional collateral on the construction loans and may be called only in the event of an uncured default by the Partnership. This additional collateral totals approximately $1.1 million as of March 31, 2003.

     A subsidiary of the Partnership has agreed to develop a mixed-use project in Saint Paul, Minnesota consisting of various types of residential housing and ancillary retail space. The subsidiary has performed a significant portion of the infrastructure work and has sold several of the development sites to reputable home builders (including a 1.5 acre site to Centex Homes) pursuant to contracts that obligate the purchasers to fulfill certain of the seller’s development obligations at the project. The subsidiary of the Partnership (as the seller) retains the right to repurchase the site if the purchaser fails to commence the performance of such obligations. Ultimately, the Partnership’s subsidiary remains responsible for the development of the project.

     The subsidiary anticipates that the costs expended for infrastructure work will be reimbursed from the proceeds of a bond offering by a special taxing district established to aid in the development of the project. These costs will be reimbursed over time as improvements at the project generate property taxes

149


Table of Contents

sufficient to fund debt service on the bonds. A receivable of approximately $13.9 million is included in Other Receivables in the accompanying Combining Balance Sheets. The subsidiary has deferred recognition of this income as of March 31, 2003 as improvements to the project that will generate property taxes have begun.

     In the normal course of its business, the Partnership issues certain representations, warranties and guarantees related to its home sales, land sales and building sales that may be affected by the Financial

Accounting Standards Board’s recent issuance of FIN 45. Based on historical evidence, the Partnership does not believe that any of these representations, warranties or guarantees would result in a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or operations. See further discussion on our warranty liability below. See further discussion of FIN 45 in Note (C), “Significant Accounting Policies.”

     International Home Building offers a ten-year limited warranty for most homes constructed and sold in the United Kingdom. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in various components of the home for the first two years and designated structural elements of the home in the third through tenth years. International Home Building estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty program for which it will be responsible and records a liability at the time each home is closed. Factors that affect International Home Building’s warranty liability include the number of homes closed, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. International Home Building periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

     Changes in International Home Building’s contractual warranty liability during the period are as follows:

           
Balance as of March 31, 2002
  $ 2,279  
Warranties Issued
    5,323  
Settlements Made
    (4,212 )
 
 
 
Balance as of March 31, 2003
  $ 3,390  
 
 
 

     Benefits are provided to eligible employees of the Partnership and certain subsidiaries under various profit sharing plans. The aggregate cost of these plans to the Partnership was $1.2 million in fiscal 2003, $1.0 million in fiscal 2002 and $0.8 million in fiscal 2001. The employees’ rights to employer contributions to these plans vest over a period of up to seven years.

(L) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Companies operate in four principal business segments: International Home Building, Commercial Development, Multi-Family Communities and Corporate-Other. All of the segments, except for International Home Building, operate in the United States. International Home Building’s accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Segment information is presented after the elimination of all inter-segment transactions and balances.

150


Table of Contents

     International Home Building acquires and develops residential properties and constructs single and multi-family housing units in the United Kingdom. Commercial Development develops office, industrial, retail and mixed-use projects, for sale and for investment. Multi-Family Communities develops multi-family projects, which it markets for sale during the development period. Corporate-Other is involved in the acquisition and disposition of land and other assets of the Partnership not identified with another specific business segment.

     Effective April 1, 2003, the operations of Multi-Family Communities were restructured. Due to the risks associated with an extended development time frame and significant capital requirements, these operations have been restructured to focus on leasing and disposition of current projects rather than new development.

     The responsibilities for day-to-day operations, including the completion, leasing and sale of remaining projects have been assumed by personnel within the Corporate-Other segment. The future operations of remaining projects will be reflected in the Corporate-Other segment. A restructuring charge of approximately $0.6 million is included in Multi-Family Communities’ selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 21, 2003.

     Pursuant to leases signed over the last several years, a single tenant leases 1,029,000 square feet, or approximately 49%, of the Partnership’s current commercial projects. Fiscal 2003 revenues from this tenant were approximately 30% of total rental revenues from commercial project and approximately 41% of total rental revenues from continuing operations.

Table of Contents

     Various Centex affiliates lease, pursuant to leases signed over the last several years, an aggregate of 157,000 square feet, or approximately 7%, of the Partnership’s current commercial projects. Various Centex affiliates also leased space in two commercial projects that were sold during fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2003 revenues from these Centex affiliates were approximately 24% of total rental revenues from commercial projects, and approximately 27% of total rental revenues from continuing operations.

(M) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires companies to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities. The estimated fair values shown below have been determined using current quoted market prices where available and, where necessary, estimates based on present value methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. All assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments have been valued using historical cost accounting.

     The consolidated carrying values of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Receivables, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities and other variable-rate debt approximate their fair values. The carrying values and estimated fair values of other financial liabilities were as follows:

                                 
    March 31,  
   
 
    2003     2002

Financial Liabilities Fixed-Rate Debt
  $ 93,975     $ 99,793 (1)   $ 152,616     $ 153,815 (1)

  (1)   Fair values are based on a present value discounted cash flow with the discount rate approximating current market for similar instruments.

(N) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

Equity Securities

     The partnership agreement governing the Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) contemplates the issuance of three classes of limited partnership units: Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Units. Under the Partnership Agreement, holders of Class C Units are entitled to substantially the same rights as holders of Class A Units in connection with matters in common, such as voting, allocations and distributions. During fiscal 2002, 27,135 Class C Units were issued in exchange for cash and other assets with a fair market value of $27.1 million. At March 31, 2003, there were 32,260 Class A Units and 208,330 Class C Units outstanding.

     No Class B Units are issued and outstanding. However, warrants to purchase approximately 80% of the Class B Units were issued to Centex stockholders and are held by a nominee on their behalf. These warrants will detach and trade separately from Centex common stock on the earlier of Payout (as defined below) or November 30, 2007, the scheduled detachment date.

Preferred Return

     The Partnership Agreement provides that the holders of the Class A Units and Class C Units are entitled to a cumulative preferred return of 9% per annum on the average outstanding balance of their Unrecovered Capital. Preference payments in arrears at March 31, 2003 amounted to $42.0 million, and Unrecovered Capital for the holders of Class A Units and Class C Units at March 31, 2003 totaled $32.8 million, and $208.3 million, respectively.

153


Table of Contents

Allocation of Profits and Losses

     As provided in the Partnership Agreement, prior to Payout (as defined below), net income of the Partnership is to be allocated to the partners in the following order of priority:

  [i]   To the holders of Class A Units and Class C Units to the extent of the cumulative preferred return.
 
  [ii]   To the partners to the extent and in the same ratio that cumulative net losses were allocated.
 
  [iii]    To the partners in accordance with their percentage interests. Currently, this would be a combined 20% to the holders of Class A Units and Class C Units and 80% to the general partner.

     After Payout, the percentage interests will change to a combined 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner. Thereafter, all loss allocations and allocations of net income will be made to the partners in accordance with their modified percentage interests.

Distributions

     Distributions of cash or other property are to be made at the discretion of the general partner and are to be distributed in the following order of priority:

  [i]   Prior to the time at which the Class A and Class C limited partners have received aggregate distributions equal to their original capital contribution (“Payout”), distributions of cash or other property shall be made as follows:

  [a]   To the Class A and Class C limited partners with respect to their cumulative preferred return, then
 
  [b]   To the partners in an amount equal to the maximum marginal corporate tax rate times the amount of taxable income allocated to the partners then
 
  [c]   To the Class A and Class C limited partners until their Unrecovered Capital is reduced to zero.

  [ii]   After Payout, distributions of cash will be made to the partners in accordance with their modified percentage interests.

Warrants

     In November 1987, Centex acquired from the Partnership 100 warrants to purchase Class B Units in the Partnership at an exercise price of $500 per Class B Unit, and Centex acquired from Holding 100 warrants to purchase shares of Holding common stock at an exercise price of $800 per share. These warrants are subject to future adjustment to provide the holders of options to purchase Centex common stock with the opportunity to acquire Class B Units and shares of Holding. These warrants will generally become exercisable upon the detachment of the tandem-traded securities from Centex common stock.

(O) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Services Agreements

     The Partnership has a services agreement with Holding whereby Holding provides certain executive and managerial services and tax, accounting and other similar services to the Partnership. The agreement was amended and restated effective April 1, 2001 to decrease the quarterly fee to $50 thousand. Effective October 1, 2001, the quarterly fee was further decreased to $12.5 thousand. In addition to the $50 thousand in service fees paid during fiscal 2003, the Partnership paid $.1 million and $1.0 million to Holding during fiscal 2003 and 2001, respectively.

     Holding has a services agreement with Centex Service Company (“Centex Service”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centex, whereby Centex Service provides certain tax, accounting, administrative and other similar services for Holding. In conjunction with the employment by the Partnership of employees previously employed by Centex Service, the agreement was amended and restated effective April 1, 2001 to decrease the quarterly fee to $50 thousand. Effective October 1, 2001, the quarterly fee was further decreased to $12.5 thousand to reflect employment by the Partnership of certain additional employees previously employed by Centex Service. Fees of $50 thousand, $125 thousand and $1.0 million in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 paid by Holding to Centex Service under this agreement are reflected as administrative expenses in the accompanying combining financial statements.

Sales and Purchases

     Partnership revenues include sales to Centex Homes of $34.5 million, $1.7 million and $21.1 million (from the sale of the Partnership’s Domestic Home Building operation) during fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     During fiscal 2003, Centex Homes purchased a 1.5 acre site in Saint Paul, Minnesota from a subsidiary of the Partnership for cash consideration of $1.6 million. During fiscal 2002, Centex Homes purchased a 12-acre site in Lewisville, Texas, from subsidiaries of Holding and the Partnership for cash consideration of $1.25 million. Centex Homes will pay additional consideration to the subsidiaries in the form of a participation in profits above certain gross margin threshold levels on townhome sales.

     At March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, Centex Homes had $7.2 million and $9.1 million deposited with the Partnership as option deposits for the purchase of land. Centex Homes also entered into agreements to reimburse the Partnership for certain costs and fees incurred by the Partnership in the purchase and ownership of these tracts of land. During the year ended March 31, 2003, Centex Homes paid $3.5 million to the Partnership in fees and reimbursements pursuant to these agreements and $32.9 million for the purchase of residential lots. Centex Homes expects to pay an additional $31.6 million to the Partnership to complete the purchase of these tracts of land over the next three years.

Other

     The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Centex Homes whereby the Partnership provides certain services to Centex Homes for the operation, management, development and sale of its commercial real estate portfolio. The management agreement, which was entered into effective April 1, 2001, provides for the reimbursement of a portion of the expenditures incurred by the Partnership (including overhead expenses) with respect to the properties. The management agreement further provides for the payment of additional amounts to the Partnership based upon its performance of services under the management agreement. Collectively, such payments amounted to approximately $3.5 million and $4.2 million during fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

     The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Centex Homes whereby Centex Homes provides management and oversight services for the Partnership’s investment in Fairclough. The Partnership pays Centex Homes an annual fee of $10 thousand and reimburses Centex Homes for its direct expenses associated with its management and oversight.

     Centex performs cash management services for the Partnership. Excess funds generated by the Partnership are transferred to Centex on a daily basis, and funds required by the Partnership are advanced by Centex to the Partnership as necessary. Advances to or from Centex bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 25 basis points, computed on the daily outstanding borrowings or advances.

     During fiscal 2003 and 2002, in connection with third-party construction and permanent loans made to the Partnership’s operating subsidiaries and in connection with the acquisition and sale of properties, the Partnership paid an aggregate of $244 thousand and $412 thousand, respectively, in title insurance premiums and escrow fees to Centex title insurance subsidiaries.

     In the last two years, Construction Services has executed contracts with the Partnership for the construction of two industrial facilities. At March 31, 2003, all contracts were completed. At March 31, 2002, the total value of such contracts was $15.0 million, of which $5.3 million was unpaid. During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Partnership paid $5.3 million to Construction Services pursuant to these contracts.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

     At March 31, 2003, Holding had net operating loss carryforwards of $1.9 million. If unused, the loss carryforwards will expire in fiscal years 2019 through 2020. Holding has recorded a valuation allowance, valuing the deferred tax asset at zero.

     Holding joins with its subsidiaries in filing consolidated income tax returns. The taxable income of the Partnership has been allocated to the holders of the Class A and Class C Units. Accordingly, no tax provision for the Partnership earnings is shown in the combining financial statements other than a payment of $3.6 million from Centex in fiscal 2001 under the terms of a Tax Liability Allocation Agreement.

     As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership has not provided for withholding or U.S. Federal Income Taxes on the accumulated undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as they are considered by management to be permanently reinvested. Determination of the deferred income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practicable as such liability, if any, may be allocated to the holders of the Class A and Class C Units, and is dependent on circumstances existing when remittance occurs.

     On March 23, 2002, the audit committees of the boards of directors of Holding and Development, approved, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries, including the Partnership, the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditors for the Partnership and Holding for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, to replace Arthur Andersen LLP, who was dismissed as auditors for these entities effective as of that date. This action followed the audit committees’ decision to seek proposals from independent accountants to audit the financial statements of the Partnership and Holding.

160


Table of Contents

     Arthur Andersen’s audit reports on the financial statements for Holding and the Partnership as of and for the fiscal years that ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During the fiscal years that ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through March 23, 2002:

    there were no disagreements between the Partnership and Holding, on the one hand, and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports;
 
    none of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred; and
 
    the Partnership and Holding did not consult with Ernst & Young regarding any of the matters or events described in item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

     The Partnership and Holding provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing statements. A letter from Arthur Andersen, dated March 27, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements as filed with the SEC, is attached to this Report as Exhibit 16.1.

See “Item 1. Business.”

Services Agreements

     The Partnership has entered into a services agreement pursuant to which Holding provides executive oversight and various administrative and clerical services required by the Partnership that are not performed by the employees of the Partnership. From time to time, Holding delegates the performance of some responsibilities to Centex Service under the terms of a services agreement between Holding and Centex Service.

     Holding is entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred and paid by Holding in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under the services agreement. In addition, the Partnership paid Holding a quarterly managerial fee equal to $12,500 per quarter from April 1, 2002, through March 31, 2003. During fiscal 2003, Holding received $150 thousand from the Partnership for its services.

     The term of the services agreement between Holding and the Partnership is subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year terms unless either party elects to terminate the agreement prior to March 1 of any year. However, the Partnership may not terminate the agreement prior to the later of date of the detachment of the Stockholder Warrants from Centex’s common stock or payout, which is defined in the partnership agreement. Nevertheless, the Partnership may terminate the agreement if Holding breaches the agreement.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Holding

     We have included the information with respect to Holding called for by this Item 11 by incorporating into this Report the information included under the caption “Executive Compensation” in Holding’s 2003 Proxy Statement.

     As noted above, the Partnership does not have any directors or officers and, instead, is managed by its sole general partner, Development. See “Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrants.” Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, Development, as general partner, is entitled to be allocated particular items of income and loss of the Partnership and to receive certain distributions of cash from the Partnership depending upon the level of income and cash available for distribution and whether payout has occurred. For a summary of these rights and benefits, see Note (N), “Stockholders’ Equity and Partners’ Capital,” of the Notes to the Combining Financial Statements of Holding and the Partnership included on pages 153-154 of this Report. Except as described above, and except for the right to be reimbursed for some expenses, Development does not receive any compensation from the Partnership with respect to its duties and obligations as general partner of the Partnership.

     The executive officers of Development did not receive any remuneration from Development for fiscal 2003. Directors of Development who are neither officers nor employees of Development, the Partnership, Centex or Centex’s subsidiaries received compensation from Development in the form of directors’ and committee members’ fees.

*   Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is managed by a sole corporate general partner and none of the present classes of the Partnership’s securities are “voting securities” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act. Nonetheless, information with respect to each class of the Partnership’s equity securities has been set forth in accordance with those rules and regulations.
 
**   The address of any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of a class of the Partnership’s securities is also included.
 
***   Less than 1%.
 
(1)   In connection with the formation of the Partnership, Development made a capital contribution to the Partnership of $767,182 in exchange for Development’s general partner interest in the Partnership. As general partner, Development is entitled to receive allocations of income and loss and distributions of property from the Partnership.
 
(2)   The Class A units were issued to wholly-owned subsidiaries of Centex in exchange for the Original Properties, which is defined in the Partnership Agreement. Centex Homes presently holds record title to the Class A units. See “Item 1. Business — General Development of Business.” As of the date or dates when the Stockholder Warrants are deemed to have been exercised, the Class A units and Class C units will be automatically converted collectively into (1) a number of Class B units equal to 20% of the total number of Class B units that would be outstanding after conversion based on the actual exercise of the Stockholder Warrants and the assumed exercise of all the then exercisable Centex Class B Unit Warrants, which are described in footnote (8), and (2) a like number of Class A units and Class C units. The Class A units and Class C units will be automatically canceled upon payout and the exercise and/or expiration of all of the Stockholder Warrants and the Centex Class B Unit Warrants.
 
(3)   The nominee holds record title to the Stockholder Warrants, which are exercisable for Class B units, for the benefit of Centex stockholders pursuant to the nominee agreement. See “Item 5. Market for

164


Table of Contents

 
  Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.” However, the nominee has no power to vote the Class B units issuable upon exercise of the Stockholder Warrants or to direct the investment of the Stockholder Warrants or the Class B units. Beneficial ownership of the Stockholder Warrants is, by virtue of the nominee arrangement, indirect and undivided.
 
(4)   Shares of Centex common stock (and therefore a beneficial interest in Stockholder Warrants) covered by stock options that are outstanding under the Centex Corporation Amended and Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan, the Sixth Amended and Restated 1998 Centex Corporation Employee Non-qualified Stock Option Plan and the Centex Corporation 2001 Stock Plan and exercisable on May 29, 2003 or within 60 days of that date, are included as “beneficially owned” pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission. Amounts include the following shares of Centex common stock and therefore a beneficial interest in the following Stockholder Warrants, that may be acquired upon exercise of such stock options: Mr. Decker — 19,125 shares, and therefore a beneficial interest in 0.307 Stockholder Warrants; Mr. Newman — 2,125 shares, and therefore a beneficial interest in 0.034 Stockholder Warrants; Mr. Weinberg — 17,825 shares, and therefore a beneficial interest in 0.286 Stockholder Warrants and all directors and executive officers of Development as a group, which totals six persons, — 40,250 shares, and therefore a beneficial interest in 0.646 Stockholder Warrants. In addition, this table includes shares of Centex common stock and therefore a beneficial interest in Stockholder Warrants that may be beneficially owned as of May 29, 2003 pursuant to the Centex Common Stock Fund of the Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Corporation, a defined contribution plan, as follows: Mr. Weinberg — 2,820 shares, and therefore a beneficial interest in 0.045 Stockholder Warrants, and all directors and executive officers of Development as a group, which totals six persons, — 43,075 shares, and therefore a beneficial interest in 0.691 Stockholder Warrants). Does not include awards of 6,000 units for Mr. Weinberg and 800 units for Mr. Newman under the Centex Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Each unit represents the right to receive one share of Centex Common Stock at the time the award is paid out. The award shown vests at the rate of 8.25% per quarter in fiscal 2004, 8.25% in fiscal 2005 and 8.50% in fiscal 2006. The payout date is May 14, 2010. LTIP units do not entitle the recipient to any rights as a shareholder, including dividend and voting rights and are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting.
 
(5)   Based solely upon information contained in the Schedule 13G of AXA Assurances filed with the Commission on February 12, 2003 with respect to shares of Centex common stock owned as of December 31, 2002, but calculating the percentage shown by dividing the number of Stockholder Warrants represented by those shares of Centex Common Stock by the total number of Stockholder Warrants issued and outstanding on the record date. According to AXA Assurances, that number includes 5,882,758 shares of Centex common stock, and therefore a beneficial interest in 94 Stockholder Warrants.
 
(6)   Based solely upon information contained in the Schedule 13G of Greenhaven Associates, Inc. filed with the Commission on January 21, 2003 with respect to shares of Centex common stock owned as of December 31, 2002, but calculating the percentage shown by dividing the number of Stockholder Warrants represented by those shares of Centex common stock by the total number of Stockholder Warrants issued and outstanding on the record date. According to Greenhaven, that number includes 4,330,300 shares of Centex common stock, and therefore a beneficial interest in 69 Stockholder Warrants.
 
(7)   On November 30, 1987, Centex acquired from the Partnership 100 warrants, or Centex Class B Unit Warrants, to purchase a like number of Class B units, subject to adjustment, pursuant to an agreement for purchase of warrants. The Centex Class B Unit Warrants are generally in the same form as, and contain the same terms as, the Stockholder Warrants, except for the manners in which they may be subdivided, and the corresponding exercise price, and the applicable exercise period.

165


Table of Contents

 
  See Note (N), “Stockholders” Equity and Partners’ Capital,” of the Notes the Combining Financial Statements of Holding and the Partnership included on pages 153-154 of this Report.
 
(8)   Presently, there are no Class B units issued or outstanding. The Class B units issuable upon exercise of the Stockholder Warrants have not been shown as “beneficially owned” under the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act because the beneficial owners of the Stockholder Warrants have no present right to exercise the Stockholder Warrants and acquire Class B units. For the purpose of calculating Centex’s beneficial interest in Class B units, Class B units that may be acquired upon the exercise of the Centex Class B Unit Warrants, which is 100 in total, and the Class B units that may be acquired upon conversion of outstanding Class A units and Class C units held by Centex Homes as of the date of the exercise of the Stockholder Warrants, which is 250 in total, which date Centex may indirectly determine by virtue of its ability, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine the date of detachment of the Stockholder Warrants from Centex common stock, are included as “beneficially owned” pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act. See footnotes (2), (3) and (10). The number of Class B units and the percentage of class listed assume that the Stockholder Warrants and the Centex Class B Unit Warrants have been exercised in full for Class B units but that no subdivision of any of the warrants has occurred. However, both the Stockholder Warrants and the Centex Class B Unit Warrants may be subdivided or combined and any subdivision or combination would necessarily change the number of Class B units beneficially owned and the percentage of class represented.
 
(9)   The Class C units were issued in exchange for assets acquired by the Partnership from Centex Homes. See “Item 1. Business-General Development of Business.” As of the dates when the Stockholder Warrants are deemed to have been exercised, the Class A units and Class C units will be automatically converted collectively into (1) a number of Class B units equal to 20% of the total number of Class B units that would be outstanding after conversion based on the actual exercise of the Stockholder Warrants and the assumed exercise of all the then exercisable Centex Class B Unit Warrants, which are described in footnote (8) and (2) a like number of Class A units and Class C units. The Class A units and Class C units will be automatically canceled upon payout and the exercise and/or expiration of all of the Stockholder Warrants and the Centex Class B Unit Warrants.

184 EX-10.2 3 d05408exv10w2.txt EX-10.2 6TH AMENDED/RESTATED ENQ STOCK OPTION PLAN EXHIBIT 10.2 021303 SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED 1998 CENTEX CORPORATION EMPLOYEE NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN 1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. This 1998 Centex Corporation Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "PLAN") is intended as an employment incentive to retain in the employ of Centex Corporation (the "COMPANY"), and any Affiliate (including any entity that becomes an Affiliate), persons of training, experience and ability, to attract new employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company. For purposes of the Plan, "AFFILIATE" shall mean any direct or indirect subsidiary or parent of the Company and any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other business venture or entity in which the Company owns at least 50% of the ownership interest in such entity, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion (such determination by the Committee to be conclusively established by the grant of options by the Committee to an officer or employee of such an entity). It is further intended each option granted pursuant to the Plan (herein, an "OPTION") shall constitute non-qualified stock options within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code. 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Board of Directors shall appoint and maintain a Compensation and Stock Option Committee (hereinafter called the "COMMITTEE") of the Board of Directors to administer the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to designate persons to whom Options will be granted, to determine the terms and provisions of respective option agreements (which need not be identical), and to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant Options containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. 3. DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS. The persons eligible for participation in the Plan as recipients of Options shall include all employees of the Company or of any Affiliate, including employees of any entity that becomes an Affiliate after the date that the Plan is adopted, other than any of the following persons (herein, an "INELIGIBLE PERSON"): (a) any person who is an executive officer, as defined by Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or director of the Company; (b) any "officer" of the Company as defined by Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or 1 (c) any "covered employee" of the Company as defined by Section 162(m)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the Optionee, which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any person who has been granted an Option hereunder (herein, an "OPTIONEE") may be granted an additional Option or Options, if the Committee shall so determine. Participation in the Plan shall not preclude an Optionee from participating in any other stock option, benefit, bonus, or other compensation plan which the Company or any Affiliate has adopted, or may, from time to time, adopt for the benefit of its employees. 4. STOCK RESERVED FOR THE PLAN. Subject to any adjustment provided in Paragraph 9 hereof, a total of 5,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.25 par value, of the Company (the "STOCK") shall be subject to the Plan. The shares of Stock subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company, or any Affiliate, and such amount of shares shall be and hereby is reserved for delivery under the Plan. Any of such shares which may remain unsold and which are not subject to outstanding Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be reserved for the purpose of the Plan, but until termination of the Plan the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares of Stock to meet the requirements of the Plan. Should any Option expire or be canceled prior to its exercise or relinquishment in full, the shares theretofore subject to such Option may again be subjected to an Option under the Plan. If the purchase price or tax withholding is permitted to be satisfied by the tender or withholding of shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), the number of shares of Stock tendered or withheld shall be eligible for reissuance under the Plan. 5. PURCHASE PRICE. (a) The purchase price of each share placed under option pursuant to the Plan (a "Share") shall be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date the Option is granted. If an Option is granted as part of an Optionee's compensation package at the commencement of an Optionee's employment by the Company or an Affiliate, the Option shall be deemed to have been granted on the date of commencement of such Optionee's employment by the Company or any Affiliate (the "Commencement Date") and the purchase price of a Share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such Share on the Commencement Date, so long as such Option is not granted more than ninety (90) days following the Commencement Date. (b) "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of a share of Stock means, as of a particular date, the closing price per share of Stock reported on the consolidated transaction reporting system for the New York Stock Exchange, or, if there shall have been no such sale so reported on that date, on the last preceding date on which such a sale was so reported. 2 6. OPTION PERIOD. The Options granted under the Plan shall be for any term set by the Committee, but not more than ten (10) years from the date of granting of each Option. All rights to exercise an Option shall terminate within three (3) months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate, except that (a) the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in new option grants or amend outstanding Options to provide an extended period of time during which an Optionee can exercise an Option up to the maximum permissible period which such Optionee's Option would have been exercisable in the absence of the Optionee ceasing to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate; (b) if an Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate by reason of such Optionee's death, all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate fifteen (15) months after such death; and (c) if the Optionee is terminated for cause, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, any Option granted to such Optionee hereunder shall terminate on the date of such termination. 7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. (a) Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable from time to time under the terms specified in the Plan, by the Committee, or in the agreement relating to the grant of such Option. (b) Each exercise of an Option or a portion of an Option shall be evidenced by a notice in writing by or on behalf of the Optionee to the Company, stating the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. (c) Options may be exercised solely by the Optionee or a Permitted Transferee (hereafter defined). (d) The purchase price of the Shares for which an Option is exercised must be paid prior to issuance of the Shares. Such purchase price shall be payable (i) in cash, certified or cashiers' check, or wire transfer, (ii) at the option of the holder of such Option, in Stock theretofore owned by such holder for at least six (6) months by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, (iii) by a combination of cash and such Stock; or (iv) by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker satisfactory to the Company to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of determining the amount, if any, of the purchase price satisfied by payment in Stock, such Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Any Stock delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price shall be appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company. No holder of an Option shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been delivered by the Company to such holder or such holder's interest in such shares shall have been evidenced by an entry on the Company's books and records. 3 (e) If any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares specified in such notice, the time for delivery thereof, which would otherwise be as promptly as possible, shall be postponed for the period of time necessary to take such action. 8. ASSIGNABILITY. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, no Option or interest therein shall be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Any person to whom an Option is transferred in accordance with this Section 8 is referred to herein as a "PERMITTED TRANSFEREE". 9. CAPITAL CHANGE OF THE COMPANY. (a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall be an increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Stock of the Company effected without receipt of consideration therefor by the Company, through the declaration of a stock dividend or stock split, or through any recapitalization, merger or other transaction in which the Company is the surviving corporation, then and in each such event: (i) An appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of Shares then subject to being optioned under the Plan, to the end that the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Stock shall continue to be subject to being so optioned and awarded; and (ii) An appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and the purchase price per Share thereof then subject to purchase pursuant to each Option previously granted, to the end that the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Stock in each such instance shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate purchase price. (b) Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issue by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or purchase price of Shares. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities or preferred or preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a party with or junior to the Stock); (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of the Company in another state) or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a 4 subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction), a transaction in which another corporation becomes the owner of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or a change in control (as specified below), shall cause every Option then outstanding to become exercisable in full immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, to the extent not theretofore exercised, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of exercisability contained in the Agreements if (and only if) such Options have not at that time expired or been terminated. For purposes of this paragraph, a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if: a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having fifty percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company; or as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for directors, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph: (i) an event, transaction, or corporate action shall not have the effect of accelerating the exercisability of Options if: (A) persons who were the directors of the Company and persons who were the executive officers of the Company as of six months prior to such event immediately after such event constitute a majority of the directors and constitute a majority of executive officers, respectively, for, and own in the aggregate at least ten percent of the voting securities or equity interests of, the Company or the surviving or resulting corporation or the parent of such surviving or resulting corporation; and (B) if the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, such surviving or resulting corporation or parent of such surviving or resulting corporation substitutes substantially identical options for any outstanding Options; and (ii) in the event of any dissolution, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, the Board may completely satisfy and extinguish all obligations of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to any Option outstanding on the date of such event by delivering to the Optionee cash in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate purchase price for Shares under the Option and the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, such payment to be made within a reasonable time after such event. 10. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Option and withhold, at the time of delivery of Shares under the Plan, an appropriate number of Shares for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Option with respect to which withholding is required. If Shares or Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, such Shares or Stock shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made. 5 11. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The effective date of the Plan shall be February 19, 1998. No Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after February 19, 2005. 12. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall be made (i) that would impair the rights of any Optionee under any Option previously granted to such Optionee without such Optionee's written consent, (ii) prior to approval by the Company's shareholders if such approval is then required thereby, or (iii) that would reduce the purchase price of any outstanding Option, other than as provided by Section 9(a)(ii). 13. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. (a) The Plan, and the granting and exercise of Options hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares under such Options, shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. (b) Nothing herein or in any Agreement executed or Option granted hereunder shall require the Company to deliver any Shares upon exercise of an Option if such delivery would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, or any other applicable statute or regulation, as then in effect. Upon the exercise of an Option or portion or part thereof, the Optionee may be required to give to the Company satisfactory evidence that he is acquiring such Shares for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to their distribution; provided, however, if or to the extent that the Shares subject to the Option shall be included in a registration statement filed by the Company, or one of its Affiliates, such investment representation shall be abrogated. 14. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon any Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his employment at any time. (b) Any payment of cash or any delivery of Shares to the Optionee, or to an Optionee's Permitted Transferee, in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such person with respect to the Option being exercised (or portion thereof). The Committee may require any Optionee, or Permitted Transferee, as a condition precedent to such payment or delivery, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine. (c) Neither the Committee nor the Company guarantees the Shares from loss or depreciation. 6 (d) Records of the Company and its Affiliates regarding an individual's period of employment, termination of employment and the reason therefor, leaves of absence, re-employment and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Committee to be incorrect in its sole and absolute discretion. (e) The Company assumes no obligation or responsibility to an Optionee or any Permitted Transferee for any act of, or failure to act on the part of, the Committee. (f) If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. (g) The titles and headings of Sections are included for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof. (h) All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Nevada except to the extent Nevada law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Shares. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural. 7 EX-10.3 4 d05408exv10w3.txt EX-10.3 AMENDED CENTEX CORP 2001 STOCK PLAN EXHIBIT 10.3 021303 AMENDED AND RESTATED CENTEX CORPORATION 2001 STOCK PLAN 1.

(d) If the option price or any applicable tax withholding obligation payable upon exercise of an Option is satisfied by the tender or withholding of Shares to or by the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), the number of Shares so tendered or withheld shall be eligible for reissuance under the Plan. 5. ELIGIBILITY Eligibility for receipt of a grant of Options under the Plan shall be confined to (a) a limited number of persons who are employed by the Company or an Affiliate and hold key positions in and for the Company or an Affiliate and (b) Directors. 6. GRANTING OF OPTIONS (a) From time to time while the Plan is in effect, the Committee may in its absolute discretion select from among the persons eligible to receive a grant of Options under the Plan (including persons who have already received such grants of Options) such one or more of them as in the opinion of the Committee should be granted Options. The Committee shall thereupon, likewise in its absolute discretion, determine the number of Shares to be allotted for option to each person so selected. (b) Each person so selected shall be granted an Option to purchase the number of Shares so allotted to him, upon such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may specify. (c) Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Option. The date that the Committee specifies to be the grant date of an Option to an individual shall constitute the date on which the Option covered by such Agreement is granted. In no event, however, shall an Optionee gain any rights in addition to those specified by the Committee in its grant, regardless of the time that may pass between the grant of the Option and the actual execution of the Agreement by the Company and the Optionee. (d) No person may be granted Options under this Plan for more than 250,000 Shares in any one-year period. 7. OPTION PRICE The option price for each Share covered by each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there occurs any transaction of a type described in Section 12(a), (b) or (c) hereof, the option price of the Shares subject to each existing Option adjusted pursuant to such provisions or any new Option or assumed option issued pursuant to such provisions may be different than the Fair 3 Market Value of the Shares at the time the Option is granted; provided, however, in no event shall - (a) the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option immediately after the transaction over the aggregate option price of such Shares be more than the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares subject to the other option immediately prior to the transaction over the aggregate option price of shares subject to the other option; and (b) the ratio of the option price to the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option immediately after the transaction be more favorable to the Optionee than the ratio of the option price to the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the other option immediately prior to such transaction, determined on a share-by-share basis. 8. OPTION PERIOD Each Option shall run for such period of time as the Committee may specify, but in no event for longer than seven (7) years from the date when the Option is granted, including the period of time provided in the subsections of this Section 8; and subject to the following limits: (a) Except as provided below in this subsection (a), all rights to exercise an Option shall terminate within four (4) months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or after the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director, whichever may occur later, for any reason other than death or Disability (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option); except that (i) in the case of an Optionee who is a Director and, on the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director (and if also an employee ceases to be an employee), has (A) at least ten (10) years of service as a Director, all Shares subject to such Option will vest on such date and all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate three (3) years after the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option), or (B) less than ten (10) years of service as a Director, all Shares subject to such Option will continue to vest in accordance with its terms for a period of three (3) years following such date, and all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate three (3) years after such date; and (ii) if the Optionee's employment or service as a Director is terminated for cause, the entire Option, including both exercisable and unexercisable Shares, shall immediately terminate and thereafter be null and void for all purposes. (b) If the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and its Affiliates, or ceases to be a Director, whichever may occur later, by reason of his death, all rights to exercise any Option held by such Optionee shall terminate fifteen (15) months after his death (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option). (c) If the employment of the Optionee with the Company or any of its Affiliates shall terminate as a result of a Disability, he may, within six (6) months following such date (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option), exercise any Option held by such Optionee, in each case, to the extent he was entitled to exercise such Option on the date of termination of employment. To the extent that the Shares covered by his Option were unexercisable as of such termination of employment, the Option shall terminate. If the Optionee does not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to 4 exercise as of such termination) within the time specified herein, the Option shall thereupon terminate. (d) If an Option is granted with a term shorter than seven (7) years, the Committee may extend the term of the Option, but for not more than seven (7) years from the date when the Option was originally granted. 9. OPTIONS NOT TRANSFERABLE Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the Agreement, no Option or interest therein shall be transferable by an Optionee otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may prescribe and include in an Agreement any applicable restrictions or conditions on transfer of Options. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9 shall be null and void. 10. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS (a) During the lifetime of an Optionee, only he or his guardian or legal representative or transferee may exercise an Option granted to him. In the event of his death, any then exercisable portion of his Option may, within fifteen (15) months thereafter or earlier date of termination of the original period of Option, be exercised in whole or in part by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. (b) At any time, and from time to time, during the period when any Option, or a portion thereof, is exercisable, such Option, or portion thereof, may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Committee may require in the Agreement that any Option which is partially exercised be so exercised with respect to at least a stated minimum number of Shares. (c) Each exercise of an Option or portion or part thereof shall be evidenced by a notice in writing by or on behalf of the Optionee to the Company. The purchase price of the Shares for which an option is exercised must be paid prior to issuance of the Shares. The Exercise price of an Option must be paid by cash, certified or cashiers' check, wire transfer, delivery (either actually or by attestation) of whole Shares that have been acquired or held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the date the option is exercised, or any combination of the aforementioned methods of payment, prior to issuance of the Shares. For purposes of determining the amount, if any, of the option price satisfied by in Shares, such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Any Shares actually delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the option price shall be appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company. (d) No Shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made, and an Optionee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder until Shares are issued to him. (e) Nothing herein or in any Agreement evidencing an Option granted hereunder shall require the Company to issue any Shares upon exercise of an Option if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, or any other applicable statute or regulation, as then in effect. Upon the exercise of an Option or 5 portion or part thereof, the Optionee shall give to the Company satisfactory evidence that he is acquiring such Shares for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to their distribution; provided, however, if or to the extent that the Shares subject to the Option shall be included in a registration statement filed by the Company or an Affiliate, such investment representation shall not be required. 11. DELIVERY OF SHARES UPON EXERCISE As promptly as may be practicable after an Option, or a portion or part thereof, has been exercised as hereinabove provided, the Company shall make delivery of the Shares acquired upon exercise of such Option to the Optionee or shall cause such Optionee's interest in such Shares to be evidenced by an entry on the Company's books and records. 12. CHANGES IN COMPANY'S SHARES AND CERTAIN CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS (a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall occur any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding Shares, declaration of a dividend payable in Shares or other stock split, then, and in each such event, the Committee shall make proportionate adjustments to: (i) the maximum number of Shares then subject to being optioned or awarded as Restricted Stock under the Plan, to the end that the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned and awarded; (ii) the number of Shares and the option price per Share thereof then subject to purchase pursuant to each Option previously granted, to the end that the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate option price; (iii) the number of Shares of Restricted Stock previously awarded under the Plan, to the end that each award represents the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares; and (iv) the number of Shares subject to Options that may be granted to any person in any one-year period pursuant to the limitation set forth in Section 6(d), to the end that each such limitation represents the same proportion of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares. (b) If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall occur any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the Shares or any distribution to holders of Shares of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Shares), the Committee may make proportionate adjustments to: (i) the number of Shares and the option price per Share thereof then subject to purchase pursuant to each Option previously granted; (ii) the number of Shares of Restricted Stock previously awarded under the Plan; and 6 (iii) the number of Shares subject to Options that may be granted to any person in any one-year period pursuant to the limitation set forth in Section 6(d); in each case, in order to reflect the transaction and (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above) to the end of maintaining the proportionate interest of the holders of Options and Shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that such adjustments shall only be made to the extent necessary to preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Options and Shares of Restricted Stock. (c) In the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized to issue or assume new Options or Shares of Restricted Stock as it determines is appropriate in substitution for, or to reflect the assumption of, any other option, restricted stock grant or other award, whether or not awarded under this Plan. (d) Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or option price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issuance by the Company of debt securities or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Options or Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of the Company in another state) or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction) or a change in control (as specified below) shall cause every Option then outstanding to become exercisable in full and shall cause every restriction with respect to any Shares of Restricted Stock to terminate immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or change in control, to the extent not theretofore exercisable or free of restrictions, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of exercisability or termination of restrictions contained in the Agreements if, and only if, such Options have not at that time theretofore expired or been terminated or such Shares of Restricted Stock have not at that time theretofore been cancelled or forfeited. For purposes of this Section 12(c), a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if (i) a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of Shares of the Company having 7 50% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company or (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for directors, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event of any such dissolution, merger, consolidation or change in control, the Board may completely satisfy all obligations of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to any Options or Shares of Restricted Stock outstanding on the date of such event and cancel such Options or Shares of Restricted Stock by (A) in the case of Options, delivering to the Optionee cash in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate option price for Shares under the Options and the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event and (B) in the case of Shares of Restricted Stock, delivering to the holder of such Shares cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, which payment shall in either case be made within a reasonable time after such event. 13. EFFECTIVE DATE The Plan shall be effective on May 17, 2001, the date of its adoption by the Board, but shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the next regular or special meeting thereof to be held within twelve (12) months after the Board shall have adopted the Plan. If, at such a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the Plan is not approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the $0.25 par value common stock of the Company present and entitled to vote at such meeting, then, and in such event, the Plan and all Options granted under the Plan and all awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall become null and void and of no further force or effect. 14. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN The Board may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (a) no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any holder under any award previously granted to such person shall be made without the consent of such person and (b) after the stockholders of the Company have ratified the Plan, no amendment or alteration that would increase the maximum number of Shares subject to the Plan (as provided in Section 4(a)) or decrease the option price of an Option below 100% of the Fair Market Value as of the date such Option was granted (as provided in Section 7) may be made without obtaining approval of the stockholders. 15. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue Shares under any Option if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange. As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares under an Option, the Company may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Company may deem necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with any such law or regulation. 8 16. MODIFICATION OF OPTIONS Except as provided in Section 12, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, (i) after an Option has been awarded, the price at which Shares may be purchased upon exercise of such Option shall not be amended and (ii) no Option shall be granted in exchange for a previously granted Option if the option price of such previously granted Option is greater than the option price of such replacement Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, no modification or cancellation of an Option granted hereunder shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted hereunder to such Optionee under the Plan. 17. RESTRICTED STOCK (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of, and within the limitations of, the Plan, Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded by the Committee to such individuals as are eligible for grants of Options, as the Committee may determine at any time and from time to time before the termination of the Plan. Each award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the award. (b) A Share of Restricted Stock is a Share that does not irrevocably vest in the holder or that may not be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the time of the award of the Restricted Stock have been satisfied. A Share of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such other restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, which may include, without limitation, the rendition of services to the Company or its Affiliates for a specified time or the achievement of specific goals. (c) If an individual receives Shares of Restricted Stock, whether or not escrowed as provided below, the individual shall be the record owner of such Shares and shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares (unless the escrow agreement, if any, specifically provides otherwise), including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares. Any certificate or certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock may bear a legend similar to the following: The shares represented by this certificate have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Centex Corporation 2001 Stock Plan and may not be sold, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered in any manner except as set forth in the terms of such award dated ________________, 20___. (d) In order to enforce the restrictions, terms and conditions that may be applicable to an individual's Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require the individual, upon the receipt of a certificate or certificates representing such Shares, or at any time thereafter, to deposit such certificate or certificates, together with stock powers and other instruments of transfer, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an escrow agent designated by the Company under an escrow agreement in such form as shall be determined by the Committee. (e) After the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the time of an award of Restricted Stock to an individual, if the original certificate was legended, a new certificate, without the legend set forth above, for the number of Shares that are no 9 longer subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions shall be delivered to the individual, either by delivery of a physical certificate or an electronic transfer to a broker. (f) The Committee may cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of such restrictions with respect to any or all of the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to an individual hereunder on such terms as the Committee may deem appropriate. (g) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 17 and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an individual to whom Restricted Stock has been awarded ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate, or ceases to be a director of the Company, whichever may occur later, for any reason prior to the satisfaction of any terms and conditions of an award, any Restricted Stock remaining subject to restrictions shall thereupon be forfeited by the individual and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company or an Affiliate at no cost to the Company or the Affiliate. In such event, the individual, or in the event of his death, his personal representative, shall forthwith deliver to the Secretary of the Company the certificates for the Shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject to such restrictions, accompanied by such instruments of transfer, if any, as may reasonably be required by the Secretary of the Company. (h) The Committee may determine that an award of Restricted Stock will be subject to restriction until one or more performance goals established by the Committee have been achieved. With respect to such an award, the restrictions shall lapse and the award shall vest only upon achievement of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective performance goals established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goal relates and (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as established in good faith at the time the goal is established), and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. A performance goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met. Such a performance goal may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to the individual, one or more business units of the Company, or the Company as a whole, and may include one or more of the following: operating income, operating margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), pre-tax income, net income, net earnings per share, net earnings per share growth, return on beginning stockholder's equity, return on average net assets, total shareholder return relative to other companies in Centex Corporation's industry group, debt/capitalization ratio and customer satisfaction. Unless otherwise stated, such a performance goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to performance goals, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(2)(i), and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of performance goals, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable performance goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. No individual may be granted Restricted Stock awards subject to performance goals designed to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code having a value of more than $6,000,000 in any given one-year period. 10 18. TAX WITHHOLDING The Company shall have the right to take whatever affirmative actions are required, in the opinion of the Committee, to enable the Company or appropriate Affiliate to satisfy any applicable payroll tax withholding requirements in connection with the exercise of Options granted or Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provision, the Company shall have the right to (a) withhold cash from a same-day-sale exercise of an Option, (b) deduct applicable taxes from any Option or Restricted Stock award by withholding, at the time of delivery and/or vesting of Shares under the Plan, an appropriate number of Shares for payment of taxes required by law, (c) permit its withholding obligations to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of Shares theretofore owned by the holder of the Option or recipient of Restricted Stock with respect to which withholding is required, in which case such Shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value thereof when the tax withholding is required to be made, or (d) take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations. 19. GENERAL (a) The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options shall be used for general corporate purposes. (b) Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Agreement shall confer upon any Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such Optionee's or recipient's employment at any time. (c) Neither the members of the Board nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option or award of Restricted Stock granted under it, and the members of the Board and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including counsel fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and under any directors and officers liability or similar insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time. (d) As partial consideration for the granting of each Option or award of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Optionee or recipient shall agree with the Company that he will keep confidential all information and knowledge that he has relating to the manner and amount of his participation in the Plan; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law or given in confidence to the individual's spouse, tax or financial advisors or to a financial institution to the extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan. (e) Participation in the Plan shall not preclude an individual from eligibility in any other stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate or any old-age benefit, insurance, pension, profit sharing, retirement, bonus or other extra compensation plans that the Company or any Affiliate has adopted or may, at any time, adopt for the benefit of its employees or directors. (f) Any payment of cash or any issuance or transfer of Shares to the Optionee or to his legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, 11 to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such persons hereunder. The Board or Committee may require any Optionee or recipient of an award of Restricted Stock, legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine. (g) Neither the Committee, the Board nor the Company guarantees the Shares from loss or depreciation. (h) All expenses incident to the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, shall be paid by the Company or its Affiliates. (i) Records of the Company and its Affiliates regarding an individual's period of employment, termination of employment and the reason therefor, leaves of absence, reemployment, tenure as a Director and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Board or Committee to be incorrect. (j) The Company and its Affiliates shall, upon request or as may be specifically required hereunder, furnish or cause to be furnished all of the information or documentation that is necessary or required by the Board or Committee to perform their duties and functions under the Plan. (k) The Company assumes no obligation or responsibility to an Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock, or to such Optionee's or recipient's personal representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees, for any act of, or failure to act on the part of, the Board or Committee. (l) Any action required of the Company shall be by resolution of the Board or by a person authorized to act by resolution of the Board. Any action required of the Committee shall be by resolution of the Committee or by a person authorized to act by resolution of the Committee. (m) If any provision of the Plan or any Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan or the Agreement, as the case may be, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan or the Agreement, as the case may be, shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein or therein. (n) Whenever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by mail. Any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered on the date on which it is personally delivered or, whether actually received or not, on the third business day after it is deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the person who is to receive it at the address that such person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. The Company, an Optionee or a recipient of Restricted Stock may change, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the other, the address that it, he or she had theretofore specified for receiving notices. Until changed in accordance herewith, the Company and each Optionee and recipient of Restricted Stock shall specify as its and his address for receiving notices the address set forth in the Agreement pertaining to the shares of Stock to which such notice 12 relates or otherwise provided to the other in accordance with the Company's policies for maintaining such information. (o) Any person entitled to notice hereunder may waive such notice. (p) The Plan shall be binding upon the Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock, his heirs, legatees and legal representatives, upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and upon the Board and Committee and their successors. (q) The titles and headings of Sections and paragraphs are included for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof. (r) All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Nevada, except to the extent Nevada law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale or delivery of such Shares. (s) Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural. (t) Transactions related to the Plan, including but not limited to the delivery and acceptance of any Agreement and the exercise of any Option, whether in whole or in part, may be evidenced by either signed documentation or on-line transactions through the Corporate Stock Benefit Services web site of the Company's designated broker, UBS PaineWebber Inc., or the successor thereof. 13 EX-10.3A 5 d05408exv10w3a.txt EX-10.A 1ST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 10.3A FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Amendment") is made and entered into as of December 19, 2002, by and between CENTEX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CDCLP"), and RICHARD C. DECKER ("Executive"), an individual resident of Coppell, Texas. RECITALS A. CDCLP and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of April 1, 2001 (the "2001 Agreement"). B. Since the signing of the 2001 Agreement, a number of strategic and organizational changes have occurred within CDCLP. C. CDCLP and Executive have agreed to modify the terms of 2001 Agreement, as set forth in this Amendment, and to provide for the termination and replacement of the 2001 Agreement with a new agreement effective April 1, 2003. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, CDCLP and Executive mutually undertake and agree as follows: 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Amendment will have the meanings given to such terms in the 2001 Agreement. 2. Amendment. Section 4.C.(2) of the 2001 Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: (2) If CDCLP terminates Executive's employment under Sections 4.B.(3) or (4) above (relating to termination with or without cause or termination for breach of this Agreement), then CDCLP will be obligated to pay to Executive the following: (i) all salary accrued through the effective date of the termination; (ii) a lump sum payment equal to the lesser of (A) one year of the annual salary that was in effect on the effective date of the termination, as described in Section 3.A. above, or (B) the annual salary amount that would have been paid through December 31, 2003, had Executive remained employed with CDCLP; (iii) reimbursement for all expenses incurred by Executive through the effective date of the termination; (iv) within 45 days after the end of the fiscal year, any Annual Bonus accrued through the effective date of termination; and (v) the Post-Employment Bonus. 3. Termination of 2001 Agreement. A. The 2001 Agreement will continue in effect and govern the terms of the employment relationship between CDCLP and Executive through March 31, 2003. Effective at the close of business on March 31, 2003, however, the 2001 Agreement will terminate and no longer have any force or effect. Other than as outlined in this Section 3, neither Executive nor CDCLP will be bound by any of the terms and provisions of the 2001 Agreement after March 31, 2003. From and after April 1, 2003, Executive will be deemed an "employee at will", who may be terminated at any time, with or without cause. -1- B. Notwithstanding the termination of the 2001 Agreement under Section 3.A., the following provisions of the 2001 Agreement will continue to apply after March 31, 2003, for the time periods stated below: (1) CDCLP will continue to be obligated to pay to Executive the Annual Bonus for fiscal year 2003 in accordance with the terms of the 2001 Agreement. (2) If CDCLP terminates Decker from his employment with CDCLP or any other Centex-related entity after March 31, 2003, but before December 31, 2003, with or without cause (other than for acts of theft, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty or other illegal acts), CDCLP will pay to Executive the annual salary amount that would have been paid to Executive through December 31, 2003, had Executive remained employed with CDCLP through that date. 4. Profits Interest Agreement. As an inducement to Executive, CDCLP and Executive will enter into a Profits Interest Agreement (herein so called) concurrently with the signing of this Amendment. Pursuant to the Profits Interest Agreement, CDCLP will pay to Executive a percentage of the profits generated by projects in which Executive had involvement while employed by CDCLP. The Profits Interest Agreement will supersede and replace any agreements previously entered into between CDCLP and Decker (including the 2001 Agreement) regarding the manner in which Executive is entitled to be compensated for profits generated by the projects. 5. Miscellaneous. The 2001 Agreement, as modified by this Amendment, and the Profits Interest Agreement together express the entire agreement between Executive and CDCLP with reference to the subject matter of the 2001 Agreement and supersede all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral discussions, arrangements, negotiations, and agreements with respect to the subject matter of the 2001 Agreement. No waiver, modification, or amendment of the 2001 Agreement or of any covenant, condition or limitation in the 2001 Agreement will be valid, unless it is in a written document signed by the party most detrimentally affected by the waiver or modification. The parties further agree that the provisions of this paragraph may not be waived except as in the manner described in this paragraph. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this Amendment have executed and delivered this Amendment in Dallas, Texas as of the day and year first above written.

Weinberg President and Chief Executive Officer 12656 -2- EX-10.3B 6 d05408exv10w3b.txt EX-10.3B PROFITS AGREEMENT WITH RICHARD C. DECKER EXHIBIT 10.3B PROFITS INTEREST AGREEMENT THIS PROFITS INTEREST AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of April 1, 2003, by and between CENTEX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CDCLP"), whose address is 2728 North Harwood, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attn: Stephen M. Weinberg, and RICHARD C. DECKER ("Executive"), an individual whose address is 477 Wales Court, Coppell, Texas 75019. RECITALS A. Vista Properties Company (now known as Centex-Vista Properties), a division of Centex Homes, a Nevada general partnership ("Centex-Vista"), and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of July 26, 1996 (the "1996 Agreement"). Executive and David Quinn, acting on behalf of Centex-Vista and CDCLP, executed a Memorandum dated July 31, 1998 (the "Memorandum"), to clarify that the terms of the 1996 Agreement apply to all activities of Executive performed on behalf of Centex-Vista and CDCLP. B. Effective as of April 1, 2001, CDCLP and Executive entered into a new Employment Agreement (the "Original 2001 Agreement"), which replaced, in its entirety, the 1996 Agreement and the Memorandum. The Original 2001 Agreement was modified by a First Amendment to Employment Agreement dated December 19, 2002 (the "First Amendment"), which, among other things, provided for the termination of the Original 2001 Agreement as of close of business on March 31, 2003. (The Original 2001 Agreement, as modified by the First Amendment, is referred to as the "2001 Agreement".) C. CDCLP and Executive have agreed to enter into this Agreement to reflect the terms of certain compensation to be paid to Executive beginning with fiscal year 2004 with respect to the commercial real estate projects developed or purchased by CDCLP and Centex-Vista during Executive's employment with CDCLP or Centex-Vista. This compensation, which is in addition to Executive's salary and bonus, will be referred to as a "carried" or "profits" interest in the earnings generated by those projects. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, CDCLP and Executive mutually undertake and agree as follows: 1. Profits Interest. A. Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year 2004, CDCLP will pay to Executive a Profits Interest (herein so called) in an amount equal to the sum of the following: (1) 6% of the Net Operating Earnings generated by the operation of the Existing Projects; plus (2) 6% of the Net Sales Earnings generated by the sale of the Existing Projects; plus (3) 5% of the Net Operating Earnings generated by the operation of the the New Projects; plus (4) 5% of the Net Sales Earnings generated by the sale of the New Projects. -1- B. For purposes of calculating the Profits Interest to be paid to Executive, the following defined terms apply: (1) "Net Operating Earnings" means rental income, minus operating expenses (including maintenance, property taxes and insurance), depreciation and interest expenses. For purposes of calculating "Net Operating Earnings", there will be no charge for income taxes or overhead. (2) "Net Sales Earnings" means gross sales proceeds, plus Deferred Earnings realized upon the sale to a third party, minus project development and construction costs, other capitalized items (e.g. tenant improvements), sales costs (including commissions and other closing expenses), depreciation and amortization. (3) "Deferred Earnings" means the difference between the value at which land is transferred from Centex-Vista to CDCLP and the basis at which the land is carried on the books of Centex-Vista. (4) "Existing Projects" means the real estate projects listed on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement. (5) "New Projects" means (i) the real estate projects listed on Exhibit B attached to this Agreement, and (ii) new real estate development projects that (A) have been approved by the Chief Executive Officer of CDCLP by March 31, 2003, as evidenced by the signing of a financial package (e.g. a Board approval package) by the Chief Executive Officer, and (B) are ultimately completed by CDCLP. "New Projects" specifically excludes undeveloped land and any Existing Projects. C. No overhead charge, capital charge or credit will be applied to the calculation of Net Operating Earnings or Net Sale Earnings. D. Executive is not entitled to a Profits Interest with respect to Desert Sky Festival Shopping Center (Westfest LLC), since Executive already owns a direct ownership interest in that project. E. Other than as set forth in a separate letter agreement between CDCLP and Executive, Executive is not entitled to a Profits Interest on any earnings generated by the sale of undeveloped land after March 31, 2003. F. This Profits Interest is paid to Executive separate and apart from Executive's other compensation as an employee of CDCLP: (1) an annual salary; and (2) an annual bonus ("Bonus") based on a percentage of the "bonus pool" established for senior employees of CDCLP. The "bonus pool" is calculated as a percentage of the net operating earnings of CDCLP and Centex-Vista. Because the Profits Interest is also based on the operating earnings from certain Existing Projects and New Projects within CDCLP and Centex-Vista, the Net Sale Earnings and Net Operating Earnings used for calculating the Profits Interest will be excluded for purposes of calculating Executive's Bonus. If Executive resigns from employment with CDCLP or is terminated by CDCLP (other than for acts of theft, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty or other illegal acts), CDCLP will pay to Executive the Bonus accrued through the date of termination. -2- 2. Payment of Profits Interest After Employment. A. If Executive resigns from employment with CDCLP or is terminated by CDCLP (other than for acts of theft, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty or other illegal acts), CDCLP will continue to pay to Executive the Profits Interest each year in the manner described in Section 1, above. However, CDCLP may elect at any time to make a Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment (as defined below) to Executive, in lieu of making annual payments to Executive under Section 1. B. For purposes of calculating the Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment to be paid to Executive, the following defined terms apply: (1) "Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment" means the sum of (a) any Profits Interest accrued through the date of termination, (b) the Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment (Existing Projects), and (c) the Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment (New Projects). (2) "Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment (Existing Projects)" is equal to 6% of the sum of: (a) the difference between: (i) the Aggregate Fair Market Value of all of the Existing Projects, and (ii) the cost book basis of CDCLP or Centex, as the case may be, in all of such Existing Projects; plus (b) the Deferred Earnings relating to Existing Projects. (3) Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment (New Projects)" is equal to 5% of the sum of: (a) the difference between: (i) the Aggregate Fair Market Value of all of the New Projects, and (ii) the cost book basis of CDCLP or Centex, as the case may be, in all of such New Projects; plus (b) the Deferred Earnings relating to New Projects. (4) "Aggregate Fair Market Value" means the total fair market value of the Existing Projects and the New Projects, as mutually agreed upon by CDCLP and Executive at the time that CDCLP elects to make a Lump-Sum Profits Interest Payment. If CDCLP and Executive are unable to reach an agreement, the Aggregate Fair Market Value will be determined by an appraiser mutually acceptable to CDCLP and Executive. -3- 3. Term. This Agreement will continue in full force and effect until all of the Existing Projects and the New Projects have been sold and CDCLP has paid to Executive the last component of the Profits Interest. 4. Miscellaneous. A. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws rule or principle that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. B. For fiscal year 2003, Executive's salary, bonus and other compensation will be determined under the 2001 Agreement. The terms of this Profits Interest Agreement become effective for compensation earned during fiscal year 2004 (after March 31, 2003). C. This Agreement expresses the entire agreement between Executive and CDCLP with reference to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral discussions, arrangements, negotiations, and agreements with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No waiver, modification, or amendment of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition or limitation in this Agreement will be valid, unless it is in a written document signed by the party most detrimentally affected by the waiver or modification. The parties further agree that the provisions of this paragraph may not be waived except as in the manner described in this paragraph. D. If attorneys' fees or other costs and expenses are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations described in this Agreement, or to establish damages for the breach or default under this Agreement or to obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense, the prevailing party (which will be the party who receives the substance of the relief sought) will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in such action. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this Agreement have executed and delivered this Agreement in Dallas, Texas as of the day and year first above written.

INTEREST 9.1 CALCULATION OF INTEREST The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the applicable: (a) Margin; (b) LIBOR; and (c) Mandatory Cost. 9.2 PAYMENT OF INTEREST Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on the last day of each Interest Period and also, if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period. 9.3 MARGIN ADJUSTMENTS (a) In this Subclause CONSOLIDATED EBIT and CONSOLIDATED NET INTEREST PAYABLE have the meanings given to them in Clause 19 (Financial covenants). 25 (b) Subject to paragraph (c) below and beginning with the financial quarter ending on 31st December, 2002, the Margin will be calculated by reference to the table below and the information set out in the latest Compliance Certificate and relevant financial statements delivered pursuant to Clause 18.2(b) and Clause 18.1(a) respectively:
COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 RATIO OF CONSOLIDATED EBIT TO MARGIN CONSOLIDATED NET INTEREST PAYABLE (PER CENT. PER ANNUM) --------------------------------- --------------------- Greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1 1.00 Greater than or equal to 2.25 but less than 2.50 to 1 1.10 Greater than or equal to 2.00 but less than 2.25 to 1 1.25
(c) Any change in the Margin will, subject to paragraph (d) below, apply to each Loan made (or if it is still outstanding) from the start of its next Interest Period, after the date of receipt by the Facility Agent of the relevant Compliance Certificate and financial statements. (d) For so long as: (i) CDFCUK is in default of its obligation under this Agreement to provide a Compliance Certificate or relevant financial statements, unless such default: (A) is capable of remedy; and (B) is remedied within 21 days of the earlier of the Facility Agent giving notice and CDFCUK becoming aware of the default; or (ii) an Event of Default is outstanding, the Margin will be 1.25 per cent. per annum. 9.4 INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS (a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment. (b) Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount. For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting reasonably): (i) select successive Interest Periods of any duration of up to three months; and (ii) determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Interest Period. (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable prior to the last day of its current Interest Period, then: (i) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Interest Period; and (ii) the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Interest Period will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan. 26 After the expiry of the first Interest Period for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above. (d) Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Interest Periods but will remain immediately due and payable. 9.5 NOTIFICATION OF RATES OF INTEREST The Facility Agent must promptly notify each relevant Party of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement. 10. TERMS 10.1 SELECTION (a) Each Loan has one Interest Period only. (b) A Borrower must select the Interest Period for a Loan in the relevant Request. (c) Subject to the following provisions of this Clause, each Interest Period for a Loan will be one, two, three or six months or any other period agreed by the relevant Borrower and the Lenders. (d) Until completion of Syndication, each Interest Period must be a period of one month or any other period agreed by the Facility Agent. 10.2 NO OVERRUNNING THE FINAL MATURITY DATE If any Interest Period would otherwise overrun the Final Maturity Date, it will be shortened so that it ends on the Final Maturity Date. 10.3 NOTIFICATION The Facility Agent must notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the duration of each Interest Period promptly after ascertaining its duration. 11. MARKET DISRUPTION 11.1 FAILURE OF A REFERENCE BANK TO SUPPLY A RATE If LIBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a rate by 12.00 noon on a Rate Fixing Day, the applicable LIBOR will, subject as provided below, be calculated on the basis of the rates of the remaining Reference Banks. 11.2 MARKET DISRUPTION (a) In this Clause, each of the following events is a MARKET DISRUPTION EVENT: (i) LIBOR is to be calculated by reference to the Reference Banks but no, or, after completion of Syndication, only one, Reference Bank supplies a rate by 12.00 noon on the Rate Fixing Day; or (ii) the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from Lenders whose shares in the relevant Loan exceed 30 per cent. of that Loan that 27 the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market is in excess of LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period. (b) The Facility Agent must promptly notify CDFCUK and the Lenders of a market disruption event. (c) After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on each Lender's share in the affected Loan for the relevant Interest Period will be the aggregate of the applicable: (i) Margin; (ii) rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its share in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and (iii) Mandatory Cost. 11.3 ALTERNATIVE BASIS OF INTEREST OR FUNDING (a) If a market disruption event occurs and the Facility Agent or CDFCUK so requires, CDFCUK and the Facility Agent must enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest and/or funding for the affected Loan and any future Loan. (b) Any alternative basis agreed will be, with the prior consent of all the Lenders, binding on all the Parties. 12. TAXES 12.1 GENERAL In this Clause: QUALIFYING LENDER means a Lender which is: (a) a U.K. Lender; or (b) a Treaty Lender. TAX CREDIT means a credit against any Tax or any relief or remission for Tax (or its repayment). TREATY LENDER means a Lender which is, on the date a payment of interest falls due under this Agreement: (a) resident (as defined in the appropriate double taxation agreement) in a country with which the U.K. has a double taxation agreement giving residents of that country exemption from U.K. taxation on interest; and (b) does not carry on a business in the U.K. through a permanent establishment with which the payment is effectively connected. U.K. LENDER means a Lender which is within the charge to U.K. corporation tax in respect of, and beneficially entitled to, a payment of interest on a Loan made by a person that was a bank 28 for the purposes of section 349 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (as currently defined in section 840A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act) at the time the Loan was made. 12.2 TAX GROSS-UP (a) Each Obligor must make all payments to be made by it under the Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. (b) If: (i) a Lender is not, or ceases to be, a Qualifying Lender; or (ii) an Obligor or a Lender is aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it must promptly notify the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent must then promptly notify the affected Parties. (c) Except as provided below, if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor or the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from the Obligor will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. (d) (i) Except as provided below, an Obligor resident for tax purposes in the U.K. is not required to make an increased payment under paragraph (c) above to a Lender that is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in excess of the amount that the Obligor would have had to pay had the Lender been, or not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender. (ii) Sub-paragraph (i) above will not apply if the Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority. (e) An Obligor resident for tax purposes in the U.K. is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under paragraph (c) above if that Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the Tax Deduction would not have been required if the Lender had complied with its obligations under paragraph (h) below. (f) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor must make the minimum Tax Deduction and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law. (g) Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction or payment must deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Party evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority. (h) A Treaty Lender must co-operate with each Obligor by using its reasonable endeavours to complete any procedural formalities necessary for that Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. 29 12.3 TAX INDEMNITY (a) Except as provided below, CDFCUK must indemnify a Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines will be or has been suffered (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document. (b) Paragraph (a) above does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which: (i) that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or (ii) that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income received or receivable for this purpose. (c) A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify CDFCUK of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim. 12.4 TAX CREDIT If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines that: (a) a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and (b) it has used that Tax Credit, the Finance Party must pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines (in its absolute discretion) will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been in if the Tax Payment had not been made by the Obligor. 12.5 STAMP TAXES CDFCUK must pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into of a Transfer Certificate. 12.6 VALUE ADDED TAXES (a) Any amount (including costs and expenses) payable under a Finance Document by an Obligor is exclusive of any value added tax which might be chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such value added tax is chargeable, the Obligor must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of that value added tax. 30 (b) The obligation of any Obligor under paragraph (a) above will be reduced to the extent that the Finance Party is entitled to repayment or a credit in respect of the relevant Tax. 13. INCREASED COSTS 13.1 INCREASED COSTS Except as provided below in this Clause, CDFCUK must pay to a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of: (a) the introduction of, or any change in, or any change in the interpretation or application of, any law or regulation; or (b) compliance with any law or regulation, made after the date of this Agreement. 13.2 EXCEPTIONS The Company need not make any payment for an Increased Cost to the extent that the Increased Cost is: (a) compensated for under another Clause or would have been but for an exception to that Clause; (b) a tax on the overall net income of a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates; or (c) attributable to a Finance Party or its Affiliate wilfully, negligently or recklessly failing to comply with any law or regulation. 13.3 CLAIMS A Finance Party intending to make a claim for an Increased Cost must notify CDFCUK promptly of the circumstances giving rise to, and the amount of, the claim. 14. MITIGATION 14.1 MITIGATION (a) Each Finance Party must, in consultation with CDFCUK, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which result or would result in: (i) any Tax Payment or Increased Cost being payable to that Finance Party; or (ii) that Finance Party being able to exercise any right of prepayment and/or cancellation under this Agreement by reason of any illegality, including transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to an Affiliate or changing its Facility Office. (b) CDFCUK must indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of any step taken by it under this Subclause. (c) A Finance Party is not obliged to take any step under this Subclause if, in the opinion of that Finance Party (acting reasonably), to do so might be prejudicial to it. 31 14.2 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY A FINANCE PARTY No term of this Agreement will: (a) interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (Tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit; (b) oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it in respect of Tax or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or (c) oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or any computation in respect of Tax. 15. PAYMENTS 15.1 PLACE Unless a Finance Document specifies that payments under it are to be made in another manner, all payments by a Party (other than the Facility Agent) under the Finance Documents must be made to the Facility Agent to its account at such office or bank in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency as it may notify to that Party for this purpose by not less than five Business Days' prior notice. 15.2 FUNDS Payments under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent must be made for value on the due date at such times and in such funds as the Facility Agent may specify to the Party concerned as being customary at the time for the settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place for payment. 15.3 DISTRIBUTION (a) Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party must, except as provided below, be made available by the Facility Agent to that Party by payment (as soon as practicable after receipt) to its account with such office or bank in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency as it may notify to the Facility Agent for this purpose by not less than five Business Days' prior notice. (b) The Facility Agent may apply any amount received by it for an Obligor in or towards payment (as soon as practicable after receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards the purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. (c) Where a sum is paid to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received it. However, the Facility Agent may assume that the sum has been paid to it, and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been received by the Facility Agent, that Party must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds. 32 15.4 CURRENCY (a) Unless a Finance Document specifies that payments under it are to be made in a different manner, the currency of each amount payable under the Finance Documents is determined under this Clause. (b) Interest is payable in the currency in which the relevant amount in respect of which it is payable is denominated. (c) A repayment or prepayment of any principal amount is payable in the currency in which that principal amount is denominated on its due date. (d) Amounts payable in respect of costs and expenses are payable in the currency in which they are incurred. (e) Each other amount payable under the Finance Documents is payable in Sterling. 15.5 NO SET-OFF OR COUNTERCLAIM All payments made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents must be made without set-off or counterclaim. 15.6 BUSINESS DAYS (a) If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for that payment will instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not) or whatever day the Facility Agent determines is market practice. (b) During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under this Agreement interest is payable on that principal at the rate payable on the original due date. 15.7 PARTIAL PAYMENTS (a) If the Facility Agent receives a payment insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent must apply that payment towards the obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents in the following order: (i) first, in or towards payment pro rata of any due but unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents; (ii) secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest or fee due but unpaid under this Agreement; (iii) thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal amount due but unpaid under this Agreement; and (iv) fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents. (b) The Facility Agent must, if so directed by all the Lenders, vary the order set out in sub-paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above. 33 (c) This Subclause will override any appropriation made by an Obligor. 15.8 TIMING OF PAYMENTS If a Finance Document does not provide for when a particular payment is due, that payment will be due within three Business Days of demand by the relevant Finance Party. 16. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 16.1 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY Each Guarantor jointly and severally and irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all its payment obligations under the Finance Documents; (b) undertakes with each Finance Party that, whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under any Finance Document, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor; and (c) indemnifies each Finance Party immediately on demand against any loss or liability suffered by that Finance Party if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal; the amount of the loss or liability under this indemnity will be equal to the amount the Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover. 16.2 CONTINUING GUARANTEE This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of all sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 16.3 REINSTATEMENT (a) If any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) or arrangement is made in whole or in part on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause will continue as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred. (b) Each Finance Party may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration. 16.4 WAIVER OF DEFENCES The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party). This includes: (a) any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any person; (b) any release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement; 34 (c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any person; (d) any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security; (e) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any person; (f) any amendment (however fundamental) of a Finance Document or any other document or security; or (g) any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security. 16.5 IMMEDIATE RECOURSE Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other right or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause. 16.6 APPROPRIATIONS Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may: (a) without affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Clause: (i) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts; or (ii) apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise); and (b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of that Guarantor's liability under this Clause. 16.7 NON-COMPETITION Unless: (a) all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or (b) the Facility Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Clause: (i) be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); 35 (ii) be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of that Guarantor's liability under this Clause; (iii) claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Obligor or its estate in competition with any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); or (iv) receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of any Obligor, or exercise any right of set-off as against any Obligor. Each Guarantor must hold in trust for and immediately pay or transfer to the Facility Agent for the Finance Parties any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to paragraph (a) above or in accordance with any directions given by the Facility Agent under paragraph (b) above. 16.8 ADDITIONAL SECURITY This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party. 17.

SECURITY 22.1 FACILITY AGENT AS TRUSTEE Unless expressly provided to the contrary, the Facility Agent holds any security created by a Security Document on trust for the Finance Parties. 22.2 RESPONSIBILITY The Facility Agent is not responsible to any other Finance Party for any failure in perfecting or protecting the security created by any Security Document unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 22.3 TITLE The Facility Agent may accept, without enquiry, the title (if any) an Obligor may have to any asset over which security is intended to be created by any Security Document. 22.4 POSSESSION OF DOCUMENTS The Facility Agent is not obliged to hold in its own possession any Security Document, title deed or other document in connection with any asset over which security is intended to be created by a Security Document. 22.5 INVESTMENTS Except as otherwise provided in any Security Document, all moneys received by the Facility Agent under a Security Document may be invested in the name of, or under the control of, the Facility Agent in any investments selected by the Facility Agent. Additionally, those moneys may be placed on deposit in the name of, or under the control of, the Facility Agent at any bank or institution (including itself) and upon such terms as it may think fit. 22.6 APPROVAL Each Finance Party confirms its approval of each Security Document. 22.7 RELEASE OF SECURITY (a) If: (i) a Guarantor ceases to be a member of the Group; or (ii) a Guarantor is released from all its obligations under the Finance Documents, 52 in a manner allowed by this Agreement, any security created by that Guarantor over its assets under the Security Documents will be released. (b) If a disposal of any asset subject to security created by a Security Document is made to a person (which is and will remain) outside the Group in the following circumstances: (i) the Majority Lenders agree to the disposal; (ii) the disposal is allowed by the terms of the Finance Documents and will not result or could not reasonably be expected to result in any breach of any term of any Finance Document; (iii) the disposal is being made at the request of the Facility Agent in circumstances where any security created by the Security Documents has become enforceable; or (iv) the disposal is being effected by enforcement of a Security Document, the asset being disposed of will be released from any security over it created by a Security Document. However, the proceeds of any disposal (or an amount corresponding to them) must be applied in accordance with the requirements of the Finance Documents (if any). (c) If the Facility Agent is satisfied that a release is allowed under this Subclause, the Facility Agent must execute (at the request and expense of the relevant Obligor) any document which is reasonably required to achieve that release. Each other Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any such document. 22.8 LETTERS OF NON-CRYSTALLISATION If a disposal of any asset subject to a floating charge created by a Security Document is made to a person which is (and will remain) outside the Group in the following circumstances: (a) the disposal is allowed by the terms of the Finance Documents and will not result or could not reasonably be expected to result in any breach of any term of the Finance Documents; (b) the floating charge to which the asset is subject has not crystallised; and (c) the Majority Lenders have not instructed the Facility Agent otherwise, the Facility Agent must provide (at the request and expense of CDFCUK) to CDFCUK a Letter of Non-Crystallisation and/or a Deed of Partial Release. Each other Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute those documents. 23. THE ADMINISTRATIVE PARTIES 23.1 APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES OF THE FACILITY AGENT (a) Each Finance Party (other than the Facility Agent) irrevocably appoints the Facility Agent to act as its agent under the Finance Documents. (b) Each Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to: 53 (i) perform the duties and to exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically given to it under the Finance Documents, together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions; and (ii) execute each Finance Document expressed to be executed by the Facility Agent. (c) The Facility Agent has only those duties which are expressly specified in the Finance Documents. Those duties are solely of a mechanical and administrative nature. 23.2 ROLE OF THE ARRANGER Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, the Arranger has no obligations of any kind to any other Party in connection with any Finance Document. 23.3 NO FIDUCIARY DUTIES Except as specifically provided in a Finance Document, nothing in the Finance Documents makes an Administrative Party a trustee or fiduciary for any other Party or any other person. No Administrative Party need hold in trust any moneys paid to it for a Party or be liable to account for interest on those moneys. 23.4 INDIVIDUAL POSITION OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE PARTY (a) If it is also a Lender, each Administrative Party has the same rights and powers under the Finance Documents as any other Lender and may exercise those rights and powers as though it were not an Administrative Party. (b) Each Administrative Party may: (i) carry on any business with any Obligor or its related entities (including acting as an agent or a trustee for any other financing); and (ii) retain any profits or remuneration it receives under the Finance Documents or in relation to any other business it carries on with any Obligor or its related entities. 23.5 RELIANCE The Facility Agent may: (a) rely on any notice or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by, or with the authority of, the proper person; (b) rely on any statement made by any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify; (c) engage, pay for and rely on professional advisers selected by it (including those representing a Party other than the Facility Agent); and (d) act under the Finance Documents through its personnel and agents. 23.6 MAJORITY LENDERS' INSTRUCTIONS (a) The Facility Agent is fully protected if it acts on the instructions of the Majority Lenders in the exercise of any right, power or discretion or any matter not expressly provided for in the 54 Finance Documents. Any such instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on all the Lenders. In the absence of instructions, the Facility Agent may act as it considers to be in the best interests of all the Lenders. (b) The Facility Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings in connection with any Finance Document. (c) The Facility Agent may require the receipt of security satisfactory to it, whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise, against any liability or loss which it may incur in complying with the instructions of the Majority Lenders. 23.7 RESPONSIBILITY (a) No Administrative Party is responsible to any other Finance Party for the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of: (i) any Finance Document or any other document; or (ii) any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document. (b) Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms that it: (i) has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets); and (ii) has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by any Administrative Party in connection with any Finance Document. 23.8 EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY (a) The Facility Agent is not liable to any other Finance Party for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. (b) No Party may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Facility Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in connection with any Finance Document. Any officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent may rely on this Subclause and enforce its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. 23.9 DEFAULT (a) The Facility Agent is not obliged to monitor or enquire whether a Default has occurred. The Facility Agent is not deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default. (b) If the Facility Agent: (i) receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing a Default and stating that the event is a Default; or 55 (ii) is aware of the non-payment of any principal or interest or any fee payable to a Lender under this Agreement, it must promptly notify the Lenders. 23.10 INFORMATION (a) The Facility Agent must promptly forward to the person concerned the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Facility Agent by a Party for that person. (b) Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Facility Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party. (c) Except as provided above, the Facility Agent has no duty: (i) either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including any information relating to the financial condition or affairs of any Obligor or its related entities or the nature or extent of recourse against any Party or its assets) whether coming into its possession before, on or after the date of this Agreement; or (ii) unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in accordance with a Finance Document, to request any certificate or other document from any Obligor. (d) In acting as the Facility Agent, the agency division of the Facility Agent is treated as a separate entity from its other divisions and departments. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent which, in its opinion, is acquired by it otherwise than in its capacity as the Facility Agent may be treated as confidential by the Facility Agent and will not be treated as information possessed by the Facility Agent in its capacity as such. (e) Each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to disclose to the other Finance Parties any information which, in its opinion, is received by it in its capacity as the Facility Agent. 23.11 INDEMNITIES (a) Without limiting the liability of any Obligor under the Finance Documents, each Lender must indemnify the Facility Agent for that Lender's Pro Rata Share of any loss or liability incurred by the Facility Agent in acting as the Facility Agent, except to the extent that the loss or liability is caused by the Facility Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. (b) The Facility Agent may deduct from any amount received by it for a Lender any amount due to the Facility Agent from that Lender under a Finance Document but unpaid. 23.12 COMPLIANCE The Facility Agent may refrain from doing anything (including disclosing any information) which might, in its opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation. 56 23.13 RESIGNATION OF THE FACILITY AGENT (a) The Facility Agent may resign and appoint any of its Affiliates as successor Facility Agent by giving notice to the Lenders and CDFCUK. (b) Alternatively, the Facility Agent may resign by giving notice to the Lenders and CDFCUK, in which case the Majority Lenders may with the prior consent of CDFCUK (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, if not expressly refused within 10 Business Days of request, deemed to be given) appoint a successor Facility Agent. (c) If no successor Facility Agent has been appointed under paragraph (b) above within 30 days after notice of resignation was given, the Facility Agent may appoint a successor Facility Agent. (d) The person(s) appointing a successor Facility Agent must, if practicable, consult with CDFCUK prior to the appointment. Any successor Facility Agent must have an office in the U.K. (e) The resignation of the Facility Agent and the appointment of any successor Facility Agent will both become effective only when the successor Facility Agent notifies all the Parties that it accepts its appointment. On giving the notification, the successor Facility Agent will succeed to the position of the Facility Agent and the term FACILITY AGENT will mean the successor Facility Agent. (f) The retiring Facility Agent must, at its own cost, make available to the successor Facility Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Facility Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents. (g) Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause will continue to benefit the retiring Facility Agent in respect of any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Finance Documents while it was the Facility Agent, and, subject to paragraph (f) above, it will have no further obligations under any Finance Document. (h) The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Facility Agent after consultation with the Facility Agent and CDFCUK, require it to resign under paragraph (b) above. 23.14 RELATIONSHIP WITH LENDERS (a) The Facility Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under this Agreement and as acting through its Facility Office(s) until it has received not less than five Business Days' prior notice from that Lender to the contrary. (b) The Facility Agent may at any time, and must if requested to do so by the Majority Lenders, convene a meeting of the Lenders. (c) The Facility Agent must keep a register of all the Parties and supply any other Party with a copy of the register on request. The register will include each Lender's Facility Office(s) and contact details for the purposes of this Agreement. 23.15 FACILITY AGENT'S MANAGEMENT TIME If the Facility Agent requires, any amount payable to the Facility Agent by any Party under any indemnity or in respect of any costs or expenses incurred by the Facility Agent under the 57 Finance Documents after the date of this Agreement may include the cost of using its management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Facility Agent may notify to the relevant Party. This is in addition to any amount in respect of fees or expenses paid or payable to the Facility Agent under any other term of the Finance Documents. 23.16 NOTICE PERIOD Where this Agreement specifies a minimum period of notice to be given to the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent may, at its discretion, accept a shorter notice period. 24. EVIDENCE AND CALCULATIONS 24.1 ACCOUNTS Accounts maintained by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate for the purpose of any litigation or arbitration proceedings. 24.2 CERTIFICATES AND DETERMINATIONS Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under the Finance Documents will be, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the matters to which it relates. 24.3 CALCULATIONS Any interest or fee accruing under this Agreement accrues from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days or otherwise, depending on what the Facility Agent determines is market practice. 25. FEES 25.1 FACILITY AGENT'S FEE The Company must pay to the Facility Agent for its own account an agency fee in the manner agreed in the Fee Letter between the Facility Agent and the Company. 25.2 ARRANGEMENT FEE The Company must pay to the Arranger for its own account an arrangement fee in the manner agreed in the Fee Letter between the Arranger and the Company. 25.3 COMMITMENT FEE (a) CDFCUK must pay a commitment fee computed at the rate of 0.5 per cent. per annum on the undrawn, uncancelled amount of each Lender's Commitment. (b) Accrued commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrear. Accrued commitment fee is also payable to the Facility Agent for a Lender on the date its Commitment is cancelled in full. 58 26. INDEMNITIES AND BREAK COSTS 26.1 CURRENCY INDEMNITY (a) CDFCUK must, as an independent obligation, indemnify each Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party incurs as a consequence of: (i) that Finance Party receiving an amount in respect of an Obligor's liability under the Finance Documents; or (ii) that liability being converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order, in a currency other than the currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable under the relevant Finance Document. (b) Unless otherwise required by law, each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency other than that in which it is expressed to be payable. 26.2 OTHER INDEMNITIES (a) CDFCUK must indemnify each Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party incurs as a consequence of: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default; (ii) any failure by an Obligor to pay any amount due under a Finance Document on its due date, including any resulting from any distribution or redistribution of any amount among the Banks under and as provided for in this Agreement; (iii) (other than by reason of negligence or default by that Finance Party) a Loan not being made after a Request has been delivered for that Loan; or (iv) a Loan (or part of a Loan) not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment. CDFCUK's liability in each case includes any loss (other than loss of margin) or expense on account of funds borrowed, contracted for or utilised to fund any amount payable under any Finance Document, any amount repaid or prepaid or any Loan. (b) CDFCUK must indemnify the Facility Agent against any loss or liability reasonably incurred by the Facility Agent as a result of: (i) investigating any event which the Facility Agent reasonably believes to be a Default; or (ii) acting or relying on any notice which the Facility Agent reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised. 26.3 BREAK COSTS (a) Each Borrower must pay to each Lender its Break Costs. (b) Break Costs are the amount (if any) determined by the relevant Lender by which: 59 (i) the interest which that Lender would have received for the period from the date of receipt of any part of its share in a Loan or an overdue amount to the last day of the current Interest Period for that Loan or overdue amount if the principal or overdue amount received had been paid on the last day of that Interest Period; exceeds (ii) the amount which that Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the London interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and ending on the last day of the relevant Interest Period. (c) Each Lender must supply to the Facility Agent for the relevant Borrower details of the amount of any Break Costs claimed by it under this Subclause. 27. EXPENSES 27.1 INITIAL COSTS CDFCUK must pay to each Administrative Party the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation, printing, execution and syndication of the Finance Documents. 27.2 SUBSEQUENT COSTS CDFCUK must pay to the Facility Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with: (a) the negotiation, preparation, printing and execution of any Finance Document (other than a Transfer Certificate) executed after the date of this Agreement; and (b) any amendment, waiver or consent requested by or on behalf of an Obligor or specifically allowed by this Agreement. 27.3 ENFORCEMENT COSTS CDFCUK must pay to each Finance Party the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by it in connection with the enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Finance Document. 28. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 28.1 PROCEDURE (a) Except as provided in this Clause, any term of the Finance Documents may be amended or waived with the agreement of CDFCUK and the Majority Lenders. The Facility Agent may effect, on behalf of any Finance Party, an amendment or waiver allowed under this Clause. (b) The Facility Agent must promptly notify the other Parties of any amendment or waiver effected by it under paragraph (a) above. Any such amendment or waiver is binding on all the Parties. 60 28.2 EXCEPTIONS (a) An amendment or waiver which relates to: (i) the definition of MAJORITY LENDERS in Clause 1.1 (Definitions); (ii) an extension of the date of payment of any amount to a Lender under the Finance Documents; (iii) a reduction in the Margin or a reduction in the amount of any payment of principal, interest, fee or other amount payable to a Lender under the Finance Documents; (iv) an increase in, or an extension of, a Commitment; (v) a release of an Obligor; (vi) a term of a Finance Document which expressly requires the consent of each Lender; (vii) the right of a Lender to assign or transfer its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents; or (viii) this Clause, may only be made with the consent of all the Lenders. (b) An amendment or waiver which relates to the rights or obligations of an Administrative Party may only be made with the consent of that Administrative Party. 28.3 CHANGE OF CURRENCY If a change in any currency of a country occurs (including where there is more than one currency or currency unit recognised at the same time as the lawful currency of a country), the Finance Documents will be amended to the extent the Facility Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with CDFCUK) determines is necessary to reflect the change. 28.4 WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE The rights of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents: (a) may be exercised as often as necessary; (b) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and (c) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right. 29. CHANGES TO THE PARTIES 29.1 ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY OBLIGORS No Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior consent of all the Lenders. 61 29.2 ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY LENDERS (a) A Lender (the EXISTING LENDER) may, subject to the following provisions of this Subclause, at any time assign or transfer (including by way of novation) any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another person (the NEW LENDER). (b) The consent of CDFCUK is required for any assignment or transfer unless the New Lender is another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. The consent of CDFCUK must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. CDFCUK will be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after CDFCUK is given notice of the request unless it is expressly refused by the Company within that time. (c) A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either: (i) the obligations are novated in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause; or (ii) the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and CDFCUK in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. On the transfer becoming effective in this manner the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender. (d) Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees, the New Lender must pay to the Facility Agent for its own account, on or before the date any assignment or transfer occurs, a fee of Pound Sterling 1,000. (e) Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement. 29.3 PROCEDURE FOR TRANSFER BY WAY OF NOVATIONS (a) In this Subclause: TRANSFER DATE means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of: (i) the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer Certificate; (ii) the date on which the Facility Agent executes that Transfer Certificate; and (iii) 5 Business Days after the date on which the completed Transfer Certificate is received by the Facility Agent, or such earlier date as is agreed by the Facility Agent. (b) A novation is effected if: (i) the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and (ii) the Facility Agent executes it. The Facility Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order. (c) Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf. 62 (d) On the Transfer Date: (i) the New Lender will assume the rights and obligations of the Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Existing Lender; and (ii) the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights. 29.4 LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY OF EXISTING LENDER (a) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for the legality, validity, adequacy, accuracy, completeness or performance of: (i) any Finance Document or any other document; or (ii) any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document, and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. (b) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: (i) has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and (ii) has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document. (c) Nothing in any Finance Document requires an Existing Lender to: (i) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or (ii) support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise. 29.5 COSTS RESULTING FROM CHANGE OF LENDER OR FACILITY OFFICE If: (a) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and (b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost, then, unless the assignment, transfer or change is made by a Lender to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to the Tax Payment, Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Obligor need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased 63 Cost to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred. 29.6 ADDITIONAL OBLIGORS (a) CDFCUK must, within 30 days of the date on which any member of the Group becomes a Material Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement, ensure that the relevant Material Subsidiary (if it is not already) becomes a Guarantor by delivering to the Facility Agent the documents listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 in relation to that Subsidiary, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent. (b) (i) If CDFCUK wishes one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries to become an Additional Obligor other than when required to do so under paragraph (a) above, then it may (following consultation with the Facility Agent) deliver to the Facility Agent the relevant documents and evidence listed in Part 2 of Schedule 2 (Conditions precedent documents). (ii) The prior consent of all the Lenders is required if the Additional Obligor is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside the U.K. (iii) The relevant Subsidiary will become an Additional Obligor when the Facility Agent notifies the other Finance Parties and CDFCUK that it has received all of the documents and evidence referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Facility Agent must give this notification as soon as reasonably practicable. (c) Delivery of an Accession Agreement, executed by the relevant Subsidiary and CDFCUK, to the Facility Agent constitutes confirmation by that Subsidiary and CDFCUK that the relevant Repeating Representations are then correct. 29.7 RESIGNATION OF AN OBLIGOR (OTHER THAN THE COMPANY OR CDFCUK) (a) In this Subclause, RESIGNATION REQUEST means a letter in the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Resignation Request), with such amendments as the Facility Agent may approve or reasonably require. (b) CDFCUK may request that an Obligor (other than the Company or CDFCUK) ceases to be an Obligor by giving to the Facility Agent a duly completed Resignation Request. (c) The Facility Agent must accept a Resignation Request and notify CDFCUK and the Lenders of its acceptance if: (i) in the case of a Guarantor, the Majority Lenders have consented to the Resignation Request; (ii) it is not aware that a Default is outstanding or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Request; and (iii) no amount owed by that Obligor under this Agreement is still outstanding. (d) The Obligor will cease to be a Borrower and/or a Guarantor, as appropriate, when the Facility Agent gives the notification referred to in paragraph (c) above. 64 (e) An Obligor (other than the Company or CDFCUK) may also cease to be an Obligor in any other manner approved by the Majority Lenders. 29.8 CHANGES TO THE REFERENCE BANKS If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent must (in consultation with CDFCUK) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 30. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION (a) Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with the Finance Documents. However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information: (i) which is publicly available, other than as a result of a breach by that Finance Party of this Clause; (ii) in connection with any legal or arbitration proceedings; (iii) if required to do so under any law or regulation; (iv) if it is required to do so, or if that authority has requested the disclosure, to a governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority with whose requirements that Finance Party is required to comply or customarily complies; (v) to its professional advisers; (vi) to the extent allowed under paragraph (b) below; or (vii) with the agreement of the relevant Obligor. (b) A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in relation to this Agreement (a PARTICIPANT): (i) a copy of any Finance Document; and (ii) any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document. However, before a participant may receive any confidential information, it must agree with the relevant Finance Party for itself and on behalf of CDFCUK to keep that information confidential on the terms of paragraph (a) above. (c) This Clause supersedes any previous confidentiality undertaking given by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement prior to it becoming a Party. 31. SET-OFF While an Event of Default is outstanding, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either 65 obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. 32. PRO RATA SHARING 32.1 REDISTRIBUTION If any amount owing by an Obligor under this Agreement to a Lender (the RECOVERING LENDER) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a RECOVERY), then: (a) the recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent; (b) the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery had been received by the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and (c) the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the REDISTRIBUTION). 32.2 EFFECT OF REDISTRIBUTION (a) The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders (other than the recovering Lender) accordingly. (b) When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution. (c) If and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor will owe the recovering Lender a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged. If: (i) a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and (ii) the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery, each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the re-distribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement. 32.3 EXCEPTIONS Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Lender need not pay a redistribution to the extent that: 66 (a) it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or (b) it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where: (i) the recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and (ii) the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them. 33. SEVERABILITY If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect: (a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or (b) the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents. 34.

Our payment instructions are: [ ]. 4. We confirm that each condition precedent under the Agreement which must be satisfied on the date of this Request is so satisfied. 5. This Request is irrevocable. By: [ ] 76 SCHEDULE 4 CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST 1. GENERAL The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with: (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 2. CALCULATION - GENERAL On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the ADDITIONAL COST RATE) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 3. FOR A LENDER LENDING FROM A FACILITY OFFICE IN THE U.K. (a) The Additional Cost Rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows: AB + C(B - D) + E x 0.01 ------------------------ per cent. annum 100 - (A + C) where on the day of application of the formula: A is the percentage of eligible liabilities (in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank of England requires that Lender to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements; B is LIBOR for that Interest Period; C is the percentage (if any) of eligible liabilities which the Bank of England requires that Lender to place as an interest bearing special deposit with the Bank of England; D is the interest rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing special deposits; and E is the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules and calculated as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by that Lender to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) below and expressed in pounds per Pound Sterling 1 million. 77 (b) For the purposes of this paragraph 2: (i) ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES and SPECIAL DEPOSIT have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; (ii) FEE RULES means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; (iii) FEE TARIFFS means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and (iv) TARIFF BASE has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules. (c) (i) In the application of the formula, A, B, C and D are included as figures and not as percentages, e.g. if A = 0.5% and B = 15%, AB is calculated as 0.5 x 15. A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B is taken as zero. (ii) Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded to four decimal places. (d) If requested by the Agent, each Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the fees rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Lender as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per Pound Sterling 1,000,000 of the tariff base of that Lender. (e) (i) Each Lender must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the Additional Cost Rate for that Lender. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: (A) its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and (B) any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. The Facility Agent may assume that this information is correct in all respects. (ii) The percentages or rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of A, C and E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 78 (iii) The Facility Agent has no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to sub-paragraphs 3(d) and 3(e) and paragraph 4 below is true and correct in all respects. (iv) The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender under sub-paragraphs 3(d) and 3(e) and paragraph 4 below . (v) Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 4. FOR A LENDER LENDING FROM A FACILITY OFFICE IN A PARTICIPATING MEMBER STATE (a) The Additional Cost Rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office. (b) If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost. 5. CHANGES The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to comply with: (a) any change in law or regulation; or (b) any requirement from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions). Any such determination will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties. 79 SCHEDULE 5 FORM OF TRANSFER CERTIFICATE To: THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC as Facility Agent From: [THE EXISTING LENDER] (the EXISTING LENDER) and [THE NEW LENDER] (the NEW LENDER) Date: [ ] FAIRCLOUGH HOMES GROUP LIMITED - POUND STERLING 100,000,000 CREDIT AGREEMENT DATED 29TH MARCH, 2001 (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME) (the AGREEMENT) We refer to the Agreement.

(b) The Facility Agent may by notice to a Chargor convert the floating charge created by that Chargor under this Subclause into a fixed charge as regards any of that Chargor's assets specified in that notice, if: 91 (i) an Event of Default is outstanding; or (ii) the Facility Agent reasonably considers those assets to be in danger of being seized or sold under any form of distress, attachment, execution or other legal process or to be otherwise in jeopardy. 3. REPRESENTATIONS - GENERAL 3.1 NATURE OF SECURITY Each Chargor represents to each Senior Lender that this Deed creates those Security Interests it purports to create and is not liable to be amended or otherwise set aside on its liquidation or administration or otherwise. 3.2 TIMES FOR MAKING REPRESENTATIONS (a) The representations set out in this Deed (including in this Clause) are made on the date of this Deed.

(b) If a Chargor fails to do so, the Facility Agent may pay the calls or other payments on behalf of that Chargor. That Chargor must immediately on request reimburse the Facility Agent for any payment made by the Facility Agent under this Subclause. 5.5 OTHER OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT OF INVESTMENTS (a) Each Chargor must promptly copy to the Facility Agent and comply with all requests for information which is within its knowledge and which are made under section 212 of the Companies Act 1985 or any similar provision contained in any articles of association or other constitutional document relating to any of its Investments. If it fails to do so, the Facility Agent may elect to provide such information as it may have on behalf of that Chargor. (b) Each Chargor must comply with all other conditions and obligations assumed by it in respect of any of its Investments. (c) The Facility Agent is not obliged to: (i) perform any obligation of a Chargor; (ii) make any payment, or to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or a Chargor; or (iii) present or file any claim or take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to which it may be entitled under this Deed, in respect of any Investment. 5.6 VOTING RIGHTS (a) Before this Security becomes enforceable: (i) the voting rights, powers and other rights in respect of the Investments must (if exercisable by the Facility Agent) be exercised in any manner which the relevant Chargor may direct in writing; and 93 (ii) all dividends or other income paid or payable in relation to any Investments must be paid directly to the relevant Chargor.

This includes all the powers given to trustees by Section 10(3) and (4) of the Trustee Act, 1925, as amended by Section 9 of the Trustee Investment Act, 1961, in respect of securities or property subject to a trust. 6. WHEN SECURITY BECOMES ENFORCEABLE 6.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT This Security will become immediately enforceable if an Event of Default is outstanding. 6.2 DISCRETION After this Security has become enforceable, the Facility Agent may in its absolute discretion enforce all or any part of this Security in any manner it sees fit or as the Majority Lenders direct. 6.3 POWER OF SALE The power of sale and other powers conferred by Section 101 of the Act, as amended by this Deed, will be immediately exercisable at any time after this Security has become enforceable. 7. ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY 7.1 GENERAL (a) For the purposes of all powers implied by statute, the Secured Liabilities are deemed to have become due and payable on the date of this Deed. (b) Section 103 of the Act (restricting the power of sale) and Section 93 of the Act (restricting the right of consolidation) do not apply to this Security. (c) The statutory powers of leasing conferred on the Facility Agent are extended so as to authorise the Facility Agent to lease, make agreements for leases, accept surrenders of leases and grant options as the Facility Agent may think fit and without the need to comply with any provision of section 99 or 100 of the Act. 7.2 NO LIABILITY AS MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION Neither the Facility Agent nor any Receiver will be liable, by reason of entering into possession of a Security Asset, to account as mortgagee in possession or for any loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable. 94 7.3 PRIVILEGES Each Receiver and the Facility Agent is entitled to all the rights, powers, privileges and immunities conferred by the Act on mortgagees and receivers duly appointed under the Act, except that Section 103 of the Act does not apply. 7.4 PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Facility Agent or a Receiver or its or his agents will be concerned to enquire: (a) whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable; (b) whether any power which the Facility Agent or a Receiver is purporting to exercise has become exercisable or is being properly exercised; (c) whether any money remains due under the Senior Documents; or (d) how any money paid to the Facility Agent or to that Receiver is to be applied. 7.5 REDEMPTION OF PRIOR MORTGAGES (a) At any time after this Security has become enforceable, the Facility Agent may: (i) redeem any prior Security Interest against any Security Asset; and/or (ii) procure the transfer of that Security Interest to itself; and/or (iii) settle and pass the accounts of the prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrancer; any accounts so settled and passed will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on each Chargor. (b) Each Chargor must pay to the Facility Agent, immediately on demand, the costs and expenses incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with any such redemption and/or transfer, including the payment of any principal or interest. 7.6 CONTINGENCIES If this Security is enforced at a time when no amount is due under the Senior Documents but at a time when amounts may or will become due, the Facility Agent (or the Receiver) may pay the proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into a suspense account. 8. RECEIVER 8.1 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER (a) The Facility Agent may appoint any one or more persons to be a Receiver of all or any part of the Security Assets if: (i) this Security has become enforceable; or (ii) a Chargor so requests the Facility Agent in writing at any time. (b) Any appointment under paragraph (a) above may be by deed, under seal or in writing under its hand. 95 (c) Section 109(1) of the Act does not apply to this Deed. 8.2 REMOVAL The Facility Agent may by writing under its hand (subject to any requirement for an order of the court in the case of an administrative receiver) remove any Receiver appointed by it and may, whenever it thinks fit, appoint a new Receiver in the place of any Receiver whose appointment may for any reason have terminated. 8.3 REMUNERATION The Facility Agent may fix the remuneration of any Receiver appointed by it and the maximum rate specified in Section 109(b) of the Act will not apply. 8.4 AGENT OF EACH CHARGOR (a) A Receiver will be deemed to be the agent of each Chargor for all purposes and accordingly will be deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly appointed by a mortgagee under the Act. Each Chargor alone is responsible for the contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses of a Receiver and for liabilities incurred by a Receiver. (b) No Senior Lender will incur any liability (either to a Chargor or to any other person) by reason of the appointment of a Receiver or for any other reason. 8.5 RELATIONSHIP WITH FACILITY AGENT To the fullest extent allowed by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by this Deed (either expressly or impliedly) or by law on a Receiver may after this Security becomes enforceable be exercised by the Facility Agent in relation to any Security Asset without first appointing a Receiver and notwithstanding the appointment of a Receiver. 9. POWERS OF RECEIVER 9.1 GENERAL (a) A Receiver has all of the rights, powers and discretions set out below in this Clause in addition to those conferred on it by any law, including all the rights, powers and discretions conferred on a receiver under the Act and a receiver or an administrative receiver under the Insolvency Act, 1986. (b) If there is more than one Receiver holding office at the same time, each Receiver may (unless the document appointing him states otherwise) exercise all of the powers conferred on a Receiver under this Deed individually and to the exclusion of any other Receiver. 9.2 POSSESSION A Receiver may take immediate possession of, get in and collect any Security Asset. 9.3 CARRY ON BUSINESS A Receiver may carry on the business of any Chargor in any manner he thinks fit. 96 9.4 EMPLOYEES (a) A Receiver may appoint and discharge managers, officers, agents, accountants, servants, workmen and others for the purposes of this Deed upon such terms as to remuneration or otherwise as he thinks fit.

(c) Fixtures, other than landlord's fixtures, may be severed and sold separately from the property containing them without the consent of the relevant Chargor. 9.7 LEASES A Receiver may let any Security Asset for any term and at any rent (with or without a premium) which he thinks fit and may accept a surrender of any lease or tenancy of any Security Asset on any terms which he thinks fit (including the payment of money to a lessee or tenant on a surrender). 9.8 COMPROMISE A Receiver may settle, adjust, refer to arbitration, compromise and arrange any claim, account, dispute, question or demand with or by any person who is or claims to be a creditor of any Chargor or relating in any way to any Security Asset. 9.9 LEGAL ACTIONS A Receiver may bring, prosecute, enforce, defend and abandon any action, suit or proceedings in relation to any Security Asset which he thinks fit. 9.10 RECEIPTS A Receiver may give a valid receipt for any moneys and execute any assurance or thing which may be proper or desirable for realising any Security Asset. 9.11 SUBSIDIARIES A Receiver may form a Subsidiary of any Chargor and transfer to that Subsidiary any Security Asset. 97 9.12 DELEGATION A Receiver may delegate his powers in accordance with this Deed. 9.13 LENDING A Receiver may lend money or advance credit to any customer of any Chargor. 9.14 PROTECTION OF ASSETS A Receiver may: (a) effect any repair or insurance and do any other act which any Chargor might do in the ordinary conduct of its business to protect or improve any Security Asset; (b) commence and/or complete any building operation; and (c) apply for and maintain any planning permission, building regulation approval or any other authorisation, in each case as he thinks fit. 9.15 OTHER POWERS A Receiver may: (a) do all other acts and things which he may consider desirable or necessary for realising any Security Asset or incidental or conducive to any of the rights, powers or discretions conferred on a Receiver under or by virtue of this Deed or law; (b) exercise in relation to any Security Asset all the powers, authorities and things which he would be capable of exercising if he were the absolute beneficial owner of that Security Asset; and (c) use the name of any Chargor for any of the above purposes. 10. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS Any moneys received by the Facility Agent or any Receiver after this Security has become enforceable must be applied in the following order of priority: (a) in or towards payment of or provision for all costs and expenses incurred by the Facility Agent or any Receiver under or in connection with this Deed and of all remuneration due to any Receiver under or in connection with this Deed; (b) in or towards payment of or provision for the Secured Liabilities; and (c) in payment of the surplus (if any) to any Chargor or other person entitled to it. This Clause is subject to the payment of any claims having priority over this Security. This Clause does not prejudice the right of any Senior Lender to recover any shortfall from the Chargor. 98 11. EXPENSES AND INDEMNITY Each Chargor must: (a) to the extent not recovered by the relevant person under Clause 26 (Indemnities and Break Costs) or Clause 27 (Expenses) of the Credit Agreement, immediately on demand pay all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with this Deed by any Senior Lender, Receiver, attorney, manager, agent or other person appointed by the Facility Agent under this Deed; and (b) keep each of them indemnified against any failure or delay in paying those costs or expenses; this includes any arising from any actual or alleged breach by any person of any law or regulation, whether relating to the environment or otherwise. 12. DELEGATION 12.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY The Facility Agent or any Receiver may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person any right, power or discretion exercisable by it under this Deed. 12.2 INTEREST PERIODS Any such delegation may be made upon any terms (including power to sub-delegate) which the Facility Agent or any Receiver may think fit. 12.3 LIABILITY Neither the Facility Agent nor any Receiver will be in any way liable or responsible to any Chargor for any loss or liability arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part of any delegate or sub-delegate. 13. FURTHER ASSURANCES Each Chargor must, at its own expense, take whatever action the Facility Agent or a Receiver may require for: (a) creating, perfecting or protecting any security intended to be created by this Deed; or (b) after the Security has become enforceable facilitating the realisation of any Security Asset, or the exercise of any right, power or discretion exercisable, by the Facility Agent or any Receiver or any of its delegates or sub-delegates in respect of any Security Asset. This includes: (i) the execution of any transfer, conveyance, assignment or assurance of any property, whether to the Facility Agent or to its nominee; or (ii) the giving of any notice, order or direction and the making of any registration, which, in any such case, the Facility Agent may think expedient. 99 14. POWER OF ATTORNEY Each Chargor, by way of security, irrevocably and severally appoints the Facility Agent, each Receiver and any of its delegates or sub-delegates to be its attorney to take any action which that Chargor is obliged to take under this Deed.

(c) As from that time all payments made to a Senior Lender will be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and will not operate to reduce any Secured Liability. 15.4 TIME DEPOSITS Without prejudice to any right of set-off any Senior Lender may have under any other Senior Document or otherwise, if any time deposit matures on any account a Chargor has with any Senior Lender within the Security Period when: (a) this Security has become enforceable; and (b) no Secured Liability is due and payable, that time deposit will automatically be renewed for any further maturity which that Senior Lender considers appropriate. 15.5 NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT This Deed constitutes notice in writing to each Chargor of any charge or assignment of a debt owed by that Chargor to any other member of the Group and contained in any other Security Document. 100 16.

[ ], 2001 Dear Sirs, FAIRCLOUGH HOMES GROUP LIMITED - POUND STERLING 100,000,000 CREDIT AGREEMENT DATED 30TH MARCH, 2001 (the CREDIT AGREEMENT) We have received instructions from the Arranger in connection with the Credit Agreement. Defined terms In this opinion: AGREEMENT means the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement; SECURITY ASSETS has, in relation to the Security Agreement, the meaning given to it in the Security Agreement; and Terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meaning in this opinion. DOCUMENTS AND SEARCHES For the purposes of this opinion we have examined the following documents: (a) a signed copy of the Credit Agreement; (b) a signed copy of the Security Agreement; (c) a certified copy of the memorandum and articles of association and certificate of incorporation of each Original Obligor; (d) a certified copy of the minutes of a meeting of the board of directors of each Original Obligor held on [ ]; (e) a certified copy of a resolution, signed by all the holders of the issued or allotted shares in each Original Guarantor, dated [ ]; and (f) a certificate of the Company confirming, amongst other things, that the entry into and performance of the Agreements will not contravene any borrowing or guarantee limit contained in the articles of association of any Original Obligor. On [ ] we carried out a search of each Original Obligor at the Companies Registry. On [ ] we made a telephone search of each Original Obligor at the winding-up petitions at the Companies court. 109 The above are the only documents or records we have examined and the only searches and enquiries we have carried out for the purposes of this opinion. ASSUMPTIONS We assume that: (a) each Original Obligor is not unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act, 1986 at the time it enters into an Agreement and will not as a result of any Agreement be unable to pay its debts within the meaning of that section; (b) no step has been taken to wind up or dissolve any Original Obligor, put any Original Obligor into administration or appoint a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer in respect of it or any of its assets although the searches of the Companies Registry referred to above gave no indication that any winding-up, dissolution or administration order or appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer has been made; (c) all signatures and documents are genuine; (d) all documents are and remain up-to-date; (e) the correct procedure was carried out at all the board meetings referred to above; for example, there was a valid quorum, all relevant interests of directors were declared and the resolutions were duly passed at each meeting; (f) any restrictions on the ability of an Original Obligor to borrow or guarantee contained in its Articles of Association would not be contravened by the entry into and performance by it of any Agreement to which it is a party; (g) the Agreements have been duly executed on behalf of the Original Obligors party to them by the person(s) authorised by the resolutions passed at the relevant meeting referred to above; (h) each Agreement is a legally binding, valid and enforceable obligation of each party to it other than the Original Obligor; (i) the guarantee contained in the Credit Agreement was given for the legitimate purposes of each Original Guarantor and the giving of the guarantee may reasonably be regarded as having been in its interests; and (j) no foreign law affects the conclusions stated below. OPINION Subject to the qualifications set out below and to any matters not disclosed to us, it is our opinion that, so far as the present laws of England are concerned: 1. STATUS: Each Original Obligor is a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of England and is not in liquidation. 2. POWERS AND AUTHORITY: Each Original Obligor has the corporate power to enter into and perform the Agreements to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorise the execution, delivery and performance of those Agreements. 110 3. LEGAL VALIDITY: Each Agreement to which any Original Obligor is a party constitutes its legally binding, valid and enforceable obligation. 4. NON-conflict: The entry into and performance by each Original Obligor of each Agreement to which it is a party will not violate any provision of (i) any existing English law applicable to companies generally, or (ii) its memorandum or articles of association. 5. CONSENTS: No authorisations of governmental, judicial or public bodies or authorities in England are required by any Original Obligor in connection with the performance, validity or enforceability of its payment obligations under each Agreement to which it is a party. 6. TAXES: All payments due from any Original Obligor under the Credit Agreement may be made without deduction of any U.K. Taxes, if, in the case of interest: (a) (i) the person that advanced the participation in the Loan to which the interest relates was a bank for the purpose of Section 349 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (as currently defined in section 840A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) at the time the Loan was made; and (ii) the person beneficially entitled to that interest is within the charge to U.K. corporation tax as regards that interest at the time the interest is paid; or (b) the interest is payable to a Treaty Lender and the Financial Intermediaries and Claims Office has given the necessary authorisation. 7. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS: Except for registration of the Security Agreement at the appropriate registries, it is not necessary or advisable to file, register or record any Agreement in any public place or elsewhere in England. 8. STAMP DUTIES: Except for any registration fees payable at the Companies Registry in respect of the Security Agreement, no stamp, registration or similar tax or charge is payable in England in respect of any Agreement. 9. SECURITY: Subject to due registration where required, the Security Agreement creates security interests in the Security Assets concerned. QUALIFICATIONS This opinion is subject to the following qualifications: (a) This opinion is subject to all insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. (b) No opinion is expressed on matters of fact. (c) It is arguable that any provisions contained in the Agreements requiring a person to issue certain directions to a receiver appointed by him, or requiring him to ensure that such a receiver acts in a specified manner, or otherwise intended to restrict the freedom of a receiver to act at his discretion in the exercise of powers conferred upon him, may have the effect of rendering such a receiver the agent of the person appointing him (rather than of the company over whose assets he is appointed). Such person would thereby become liable for liabilities incurred by the receiver. 111 (d) Clause 1.2(f) (Construction) of the Security Agreement and other provisions of the Agreements relating to or having the effect of permitting retention of security after payment in full may not be effective for that purpose. (e) This opinion, in so far as it relates to the obligations of and security given by the Obligors (in the case of the Borrower, other than in their capacity as Borrowers) under the Agreements, is given on the assumption that any security given by them under the Agreements has been given in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on the Obligors' business and that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the giving of such guarantees and security will benefit the relevant Obligor. (f) We express no opinion in respect of the relevant priority rules for any security created by the Agreements. In so far as English laws apply with regard to this matter, such matters are complex and depend partly upon the type of asset and the type of charge. A lengthy dissertation on this subject is not considered appropriate for an opinion of this kind. However, without being comprehensive, we would particularly draw your attention to the following points arising under English law (so far as applicable): (i) a Security Interest (if any) created on Security Assets prior to the security created thereover by the relevant Agreements may rank prior to the security created over such Security Assets by such Agreements in favour of the Facility Agent; (ii) certain statutory preferences, fixed charges, possessory liens, preferred creditors and other priorities arising by law may have a prior ranking; (iii) any security created under the relevant Agreements may be defeated by interests acquired by third parties without notice of the charges created thereby. To the extent that the Security Assets include property acquired after the date of the relevant Agreements, the charges created thereunder may be subject to any security interests and other rights affecting such property on the acquisition thereof. To the extent that any Security Assets are subject to a floating charge, such charge will take effect subject to any charges or other rights (including creditors' processes) validly created or arising prior to the crystallisation of such floating charge; (iv) insofar as the Security Assets constitute debts due from and other rights arising against third parties any charges created by the Agreements may be subject to rights (e.g. of set-off) of such third parties and may be invalid to the extent that charges or assignments of those debts or other rights are prohibited. Furthermore, a subsequent mortgagee or assignee may acquire priority over the charges created by the Agreements if the subsequent mortgagee or assignee gives prior notice to the third party; (v) any fixed charges over book debts and bank accounts contained in the Agreements may, depending upon the degree of control exercised by the Facility Agent over the chargors' powers to deal with such book debts and the proceeds thereof and/or such bank accounts, be construed instead as a floating charge; (vi) there have been a number of cases where fixed charges over book debts have been upheld or apparently accepted by the courts. However, these cases mostly involve charges in favour of clearing banks whose de facto control for these purposes may more easily be accepted or assumed by a court. Whilst we consider that there is a reasonable prospect that any fixed charges will not be challenged, if they were to be challenged there is a risk of those cases being distinguished on control grounds and of any fixed charges over book debts being held to take effect only as floating charges; 112 (vii) the judgment in the Court of Appeal case Re New Bullas Trading Ltd does however provide grounds for optimism that any purported fixed charges over book debts and bank accounts contained in the Agreements would be given effect as such. However, in view of the unusual factual situation in that case and the unusual drafting of the relevant security documents, that case might be distinguished; (viii) insofar as the Security Assets constitute shares in companies incorporated in the United Kingdom, any security created by the Agreements will only constitute an equitable charge, until such shares are registered in the name of the Facility Agent or its nominee; and (ix) insofar as the Security Assets constitute interests in real property situated in England, no priority as against third parties will generally be obtained pursuant to the Agreements unless and until due registration is effected at H.M. Land Charges Registry or H.M. Land Registry. (g) We express no opinion as to the title of any Obligor to any of the Security Assets, as to the nature of the security created by the Agreements over particular assets (whether fixed or floating), as to registration requirements or as to the marketability of or rights of enforcement over the Security Assets. We have conducted no due diligence in relation to the title of any Obligor to any Security Asset for the purposes of the Agreements. (h) No opinion is expressed as to any other restriction affecting any Security Asset or the security created by the Security Agreement. (i) The term ENFORCEABLE means that a document is of a type and form enforced by the English courts. It does not mean that each obligation will be enforced in accordance with its terms. Certain rights and obligations may be qualified by the non-conclusivity of certificates, doctrines of good faith and fair conduct, the availability of equitable remedies and other matters, but in our view these qualifications would not defeat your legitimate expectations in any material respect. This opinion is given for your sole benefit and may not be relied upon by or disclosed to any other person.

EX-10.8 8 d05408exv10w8.txt EX-10.8 AMENDED AND RESTATED SERP EXHIBIT 10.8 1 November 2002 SERP CENTEX CORPORATION AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN PURPOSE Under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") the federal government sets a limit on the amount of annual compensation which may be considered in determining, for the account of an eligible participant, a company's contribution to a tax-qualified defined contribution plan, including the Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Corporation (the "Plan"), and does not permit certain employees to participate in the Plan. The purpose of this non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") is to establish balances for each participant in this SERP in an amount substantially equal to the contribution or additional contribution which he or she would have received under the Plan had 100% of his or her annual salary been eligible for a profit sharing contribution. The first SERP contribution was for the Plan year ended March 31, 1995. The Plan year was changed to a calendar year basis in 1999. ELIGIBILITY All current participants in the Plan whose employer's contribution, other than a 401(k) contribution, is reduced either by the compensation limit under Section 401(k)(17) of the Code or in order to satisfy any of the non-discrimination tests applicable to the Plan, such as Section 410(b)(2) of the Code, which is commonly referred to as the "average benefits test". Those provisions of the Code which so limit the employer's contribution are herein called the "Limitations". New employees paid annual compensation in excess of the Limitations (including an employee who does not yet qualify for participation in the Plan, provided that he or she does subscribe to the Plan when he or she becomes eligible to do so), and participants in the Plan who first meet the eligibility standards after subscribing to the Plan, may be added to this SERP at the sole discretion of either the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer of Centex Corporation (the "Company"). In addition, employees (whether full time or part time) who are ineligible to participate in the Plan, but to whom the Company desires to extend benefits equivalent to those available to eligible employees under the Plan, may be added to this SERP at the sole discretion of either the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. FUNDING This is an unfunded, non-qualified plan. The amounts to be allocated to each participant for both contributions and earnings will be reflected only as accrued liabilities on the books and records of the Company. The participants will thus be unsecured creditors of the Company. From time to time the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, create and administer separate accounts for one or more participants which the Company may fund, from time to time, in amounts which are equivalent to the total account of the participant. CONTRIBUTIONS The annual SERP accrual for the account of each participant will be calculated using the total compensation which, but for the Limitations or an employee's ineligibility to participate in the Plan, would be eligible for a profit sharing contribution under the Plan ("Total Compensation") less the amount, if any, which has been considered for the Plan contribution. The difference between Total Compensation and the amount, if any, considered in the Plan is herein called "Excess Salary". The accrual contribution to be allocated to the account of a participant in the SERP will be the product of his or her Excess Salary times the percent of salary used by his or her employer in calculating the Plan contribution. Should the Plan formula be changed in future years such that the contribution is not calculated exclusively as a percentage of compensation, then the percentage to be used for the SERP shall represent the percentage derived by dividing the total profit sharing contribution for the applicable employer by the sum of all of Total Compensation for all of that employer's Plan participants. EARNINGS Each participant may designate how his or her SERP account balance is to be invested by the Company and will have a "phantom" account whose results will match the result of the investments made by the Company. Each participant may so designate how his or her SERP balance is to be invested by the Company by selecting among the various investment options available to him or her as a participant in the Plan. If a participant does not notify Fidelity, the offeror of such various investment options, as to which investment options he or she selects, then such account balance will be invested in the Fidelity Freedom 2000 Fund, which is heavily invested in fixed income securities, or its successor. PAYOUT Upon termination of employment, including retirement from the Company and all its subsidiaries and affiliates (including Centex Construction Products, Inc. and its subsidiaries) the Company will become obligated to pay to an employee the entire vested balance in his or her account in the SERP. Payout will be made on the same basis as payout to the employee under the Plan, subject to the following: 1. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay out the entire SERP balance to such participant, regardless of whether or not such participant has elected -2- to maintain his or her balance in the Plan, at any time upon 90 days prior written notice. 2. If the balance of the SERP account at the time of termination of employment is less than $5,000, then within thirty (30) days following termination of employment the vested portion of his or her account balance will be disbursed to such participant, and thereafter he or she will have no further interest in the SERP. 3. Following termination of employment for any reason, if the participant is entitled to and, with the consent of the Company, does leave his or her SERP account balance in place, then the account will be credited with earnings at the same rate as active participants, depending upon the investment selections made by the participant. 4. Vesting of SERP balances will be identical to vesting of employer contributions to the Plan. Thus, if a terminated employee is only 60% vested in the Plan, the vesting in the SERP balance and accumulated earnings will also be 60%. No participant will be entitled to borrow or withdraw early any part of his or her vested balance. MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERP The Company may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the SERP. However, the amount accrued in the account of a participant in the SERP will not be reduced. If the SERP is suspended or terminated, the amount accrued in each account but not paid to the participant will continue to accrue interest at a rate equal to 80% of the prime rate charged from time to time by Bank of America until payout of such sum to the participant. -3- EX-10.10 9 d05408exv10w10.txt EX-10.10 AMENDED/RESTATED LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN EXHIBIT 10.10 021303 AMENDED AND RESTATED CENTEX CORPORATION LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2001 1. OBJECTIVES. The Centex Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is designed to retain selected employees of Centex Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and affiliates of Centex Corporation with regard to which Centex Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the ownership interest therein, and reward them for making significant contributions to the success of Centex Corporation. These objectives are to be accomplished by making awards under the Plan and thereby providing Participants with a financial interest in the growth and performance of Centex Corporation. The Plan shall not constitute a "qualified plan" subject to the limitations of Section 401(a) of the Code, nor shall it constitute a "funded plan" for purposes of such requirements. This Plan shall be exempt from the participation and vesting requirements of Part 2 of Title I of ERISA, the funding requirements of Part 3 of Title I of ERISA, and the fiduciary requirements of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA by reason of the exclusions afforded to plans which are unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of highly compensated employees. 2.

The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which shall have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall determine all terms and conditions of the Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting or Payout of an Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions contained in an Award Agreement, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement or otherwise amend or modify an Award in any manner that is either (i) not materially adverse to the Participant holding the Award or (ii) consented to by such Participant. The Administrator may delegate to one or more employees of Centex Corporation the performance of non-discretionary functions under this Plan, including distributions of Payouts. Page 3 5. AWARDS. (a) The granting of Awards under this Plan shall be entirely discretionary, and nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give any employee of a Company any right to participate in this Plan or to be granted an Award. (b) Awards shall be granted to Participants at such times, and subject to paragraph 5.(d) below, in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. No credit for cash dividends on Deferred Stock will be allowed (or accrued) prior to Payout. (c) The term of an Award shall run from the Grant Date to the Expiration Date, subject to early Payout as described in Section 8 below or forfeiture as described in Section 7 below. (d) The maximum number of Shares that may be awarded under this Plan, subject to Section 13 below, is 500,000.

VESTING OF AWARDS. (a) Unless different terms are set by the Administrator, an Award shall be immediately 25% vested on its Grant Date and shall become vested in cumulative 25% increments on each of the first through third anniversaries of such Grant Date, so that on the third anniversary of the Grant Date the Award will be 100% vested; provided, however, that the Participant must be in continuous Employment from the Grant Date through the date of the applicable anniversary in order for the Award to vest. (b) A Participant's Award shall be fully vested, irrespective of the limitations set forth in subparagraph (a) above, in the event of (i) a change in control, as provided for in Section 13 below, provided that the Participant has been in continuous Employment from the Grant Date until the date of such change in control or (ii) Retirement of the Participant. 7. FORFEITURE OF AWARDS. If a Participant's Employment is terminated, the Participant shall forfeit his or her Award(s) with respect to any portion that is not vested as of such Participant's Termination Date. 8. PAYOUTS OF AWARDS. Payouts will occur as follows: (a) Automatic Payout on Expiration Date. To the extent that a Participant's Award has vested, such Award shall have an automatic Payout on the Expiration Date of such Award. Page 4 (b) Early Payouts. In addition to automatic Payout on the Expiration Date, there may be an early Payout of the vested portion of an Award as follows: (i) Termination of Employment (whether voluntary or involuntary). The vested portion of each Award shall have an automatic Payout on the Participant's Termination Date. (ii) Death. If a Participant dies prior to the Expiration Date, such Participant's Award, to the extent vested, shall have an automatic Payout as of the date of the Participant's death and be made to the Participant's Beneficiary. (iii) Disability. Prior to the Expiration Date, an Award, with the approval of the Administrator, shall both be fully vested and have an automatic Payout on the date the Participant satisfies the definition of Disability. (iv) Early Payout Request. A Participant may request that the Administrator consider an early Payout to him or her with respect to any vested portion of an Award. Such a request will be considered at the next semi-annual meeting of the Administrator (held in May and October of each calendar year). Such request shall be in writing and will set forth, in sufficient detail, the reasons for such early Payout. The Administrator will consider such request during said meeting and will, within thirty (30) days following said meeting, determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether to allow such early Payout, and then notify the Participant of its decision. 9. FORM OF PAYOUT. As soon as practicable following a determination that Payout of a Participant's Award shall be made as described in Section 8, but not later than five business days after the required Payout Date, Centex Corporation shall make a Payout to the Participant. All Payouts shall be made in Shares except that no fractional shares will be issued and in lieu thereof cash will be paid to the Participant. 10. DELIVERY OF SHARE CERTIFICATES. As promptly as may be practicable following a Payout, Centex Corporation shall make delivery of one or more Share certificates, either by delivery of a physical certificate or an electronic transfer to a broker, for the appropriate number of Shares. 11. TAX WITHHOLDING. Centex Corporation shall deduct applicable taxes with respect to any Award or Payout and withhold, at the time of Award or Payout, as appropriate, a number of Shares, based on the Fair Market Value on such date, for payment of taxes required by law. 12. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no Award or Payout or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except to a Beneficiary or by will, the laws of descent and distribution or a domestic relations order. The Administrator may prescribe other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Page 5 Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void. 13. CHANGES IN SHARES AND CERTAIN CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. (a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall be an increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares of Centex Corporation effected without receipt of consideration therefor by Centex Corporation, through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization or merger or otherwise in which Centex Corporation is the surviving corporation, resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of Shares of Centex Corporation, then and in each such event an appropriate adjustment shall be made automatically in the amount of Deferred Stock then subject to an Award, to the end that the same proportion of Centex Corporation's Shares which would have been issued and outstanding assuming full Payout of such Award as of the date of such increase or decrease shall in each such instance remain subject to such Award. Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by Centex Corporation of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of Centex Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares then subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Awards granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of Centex Corporation to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in Centex Corporation's capital structure or its business, including the issuance of capital stock; (ii) any merger or consolidation of Centex Corporation; (iii) any issuance by Centex Corporation of debt securities or preferred or preference stock which would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of Centex Corporation; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of Centex Corporation; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of Centex Corporation, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of Centex Corporation in another state) or consolidation in which Centex Corporation is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of Centex Corporation and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of Centex Corporation and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction), a transaction in which another corporation becomes the owner of 50% or more of the total combined Page 6 voting power of all classes of stock of Centex Corporation, or a change in control (as specified below), shall cause every Award then outstanding to become fully vested immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, to the extent not theretofore exercised, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of vesting contained in the Agreements if (and only if) such Awards have not at that time expired or been terminated. For purposes of this Section 13, a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) a third person, including a "Group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, becomes the beneficial owner of Shares of Centex Corporation having 50% or more of total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Directors of Centex Corporation; or (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for Directors, persons who were Directors of Centex Corporation immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event of any such dissolution, merger, consolidation, transaction or change in control, the Board may completely satisfy all obligations of Centex Corporation and its Affiliates with respect to any Award outstanding on the date of such event by delivering to the Participant cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, such payment to be made within reasonable time after such event. 14. PLAN YEAR. The Plan shall be effective as of October 1, 2001 and will continue in effect until the Administrator terminates the same. The Plan year will be April 1 through March 31 while this Plan is in effect. 15. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Centex Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares under any Award if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by the Participant or Centex Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange; and as a condition of any issuance of Shares under any Award, Centex Corporation may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as Centex Corporation may deem necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with any such law or regulation. 16. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that no amendment, suspension or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of any Participant as to a vested Award previously granted to such Participant without his or her written consent. 17. UNFUNDED PLAN. This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants representing Awards, any such accounts shall be used Page 7 merely as a bookkeeping convenience. Centex Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall Centex Corporation, the Board or the Administrator be deemed to be a trustee of any Awards to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of Centex Corporation to any Participant with respect to a grant of Awards under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created under this Plan, and no such liability or obligation of Centex Corporation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of Centex Corporation. None of Centex Corporation or any other Company, the Board or the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a change in control, as described in Section 13(b), each Company whose employees are Participants shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than 15 days following the change in control, make an irrevocable contribution to a trust established by Centex Corporation in an amount sufficient to fully pay the entire benefit to which each Participant employed by such Company would be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Plan as of the date on which such change in control occurs. In its sole discretion, Centex Corporation may establish such a trust at any time prior to a change in control and may make contributions to such trust in Shares or in cash which would be used to acquire Shares to transfer to Participant. Any such trust shall be designed to assist Centex Corporation in satisfying its obligations under this Plan; but it shall remain subject to the claims of its creditors. 18. NO EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEED. No provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement hereunder shall confer any right upon any employee to continued employment with a Company. 19. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. A Participant shall have no rights as a holder of Shares with respect to Awards granted hereunder. 20. GOVERNING LAW. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Act or other securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to any conflicts of law principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 21. INDEMNIFICATION. Neither the members of the Board nor any member of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, acting in the capacity of Administrator, shall be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under it, and the members of the Board and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by Centex Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including counsel fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and under any directors and officers liability or similar insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time. Page 8 22. RELEASE. Any issuance or transfer of Shares to a Participant or to his legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such persons hereunder. The Board or Administrator may require any Participant or legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.
