Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Eagle Materials Inc. (“Eagle”), a Delaware corporation maintains a trade receivables securitization facility (the “Facility”) under the terms of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2004 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Receivable Purchase Agreement”) among EXP Funding, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle, as Seller (“EXP Funding”), Eagle, as Servicer, Market Street Funding Corporation, as Issuer and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator (“PNC”). Eagle has determined it no longer desires to maintain the Facility and consequently on November 18, 2005, EXP Funding delivered a notice to PNC terminating the Facility. The Facility will terminate as of December 20, 2005 or such earlier date as agreed by Eagle, EXP Funding and PNC.

The Facility is funded through the issuance of commercial paper and backed by a 364-day committed bank liquidity arrangement. The Facility has a termination date of February 20, 2007, subject to a 364-day bank commitment (which currently expires on February 20, 2006). Under the Facility, subsidiary company receivables are sold on a revolving basis first to Eagle and then to EXP Funding, a wholly owned special purpose bankruptcy remote entity of Eagle. EXP Funding pledges the receivables as security for advances under the Facility. Outstanding principal amounts under the Facility bear interest at the commercial paper rate plus a facility fee. As of November 22, 2005, there were $5 million of borrowings outstanding under the Facility.
