Summary of Primary Changes Proposed

to Revolver, Term Loan A and Term Loan B

August 2007

 


A summary of primary changes proposed to Standard Pacific’s existing $1,100,000,000 Revolver, $100,000,000 Term Loan A and $250,000,000 Term Loan B are outlined below. The changes reflected here may not reflect all details of the modifications to be included in the amendment documents, but are intended to serve as a summary of the primary deal points proposed. (Such capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings as set forth under the applicable loan documents.)

 

   

Facility amount reductions:

 

   

$900,000,000 Revolver

   

$100,000,000 Term Loan A

   

$225,000,000 Term Loan B

 

   

Reduced Interest Coverage Period modifications:

 

  - Interest Coverage Ratio (“ICR”) < 1.75x, but > 1.25x (except as provided for below), permitted for eight consecutive quarters during a one-time “Reduced Interest Coverage Period”.
  - Additionally, ICR < 1.25x, but > 1.00x, permitted in any of four quarters (at the Borrower’s election for each such quarter) during the eight quarter Reduced Interest Coverage Period, the one-time “Additional Reduced Interest Coverage Quarters”.
  - At all times during the Reduced Interest Coverage Period, no repurchase of capital stock permitted. When the Reduced Interest Coverage Period expires or Borrower elects to terminate such period, this prohibition is lifted only after ICR > 1.75x is achieved for two consecutive calendar quarters.

 

   

Total Leverage Ratio requirement modifications:

 

  - Total Leverage Ratio covenant reductions from the existing 2.25x requirement, as set forth below:

 

   

< 1.75x for the remaining two calendar quarters in 2007, and the first two calendar quarters of 2008;

   

< 1.65x for the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2008;

   

< 1.50x for all four calendar quarters of 2009;

   

< 1.50x for all four calendar quarters of 2010, unless ICR > 1.75x for two consecutive calendar quarters, Total Leverage Ratio may then increase to 2.0x the following quarter and remain at that level thereafter.

 

   

Consolidated Tangible Net Worth covenant base reset from the current $1,372,683,215 (as of 3/31/07) to $1,000,000,000, plus 50% of cumulative consolidated net income for each fiscal quarter plus 50% of net proceeds from any equity offerings.

 

   

Share repurchase limitation (in addition to the restriction indicated above during the Reduced Interest Coverage Period):

 

   

Repurchase of capital stock prohibited if such repurchases would result in less than $250 million of cushion above the Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth calculated as of the end of the preceding quarter.

 

   

Reporting Requirements expanded to include additional joint venture information in the quarterly and annual reporting packages going forward.
