INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 31, 2005, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., and the several other lenders named therein. The Facility replaces the Revolving Credit Facility the Company entered into with Bank of America, N.A. and the several other lenders named therein on May 12, 2004. The Facility, which matures on August 31, 2009, provides for total lending commitments of $925 million. In addition, the Facility contains provisions allowing the Company, at its option, to increase the total aggregate commitment under the credit facility up to $1.1 billion, subject to certain conditions, including the availability of additional bank lending commitments.

The credit facility contains financial covenants, including the following:

• a covenant that, as of June 30, 2005, requires us to maintain not less than $1.136 billion of consolidated tangible net worth (which amount is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings and proceeds from equity offerings);

• a leverage covenant that prohibits our total leverage ratio from exceeding 2.25 to 1.0;

• an unsold land covenant that prohibits our ratio of unsold land to adjusted consolidated tangible net worth from being in excess of 1.60 to 1.0; and

• an interest coverage covenant that prohibits our ratio of homebuilding EBITDA to consolidated homebuilding interest incurred for any period consisting of the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters from being less than 1.75 to 1.0.

The facility also limits, among other things, our investments in joint ventures, the amount of dividends we can pay and the amount of our common stock we can repurchase. These covenants, as well as a borrowing base provision, limit the amount we may borrow or keep outstanding under the credit facility and from other sources.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
