General

        Orleans Homebuilders, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company", "OHB", "Orleans", "we", "us" or "our") market, develop and build high-quality, single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums to serve various types of homebuyers, including move-up, luxury, empty nester, active adult, first-time move-up and first-time homebuyers. The Company believes this broad range of home designs gives it flexibility to address economic and demographic trends within its markets. The Company has been in operation since 1918 and is currently engaged in residential real estate development in eight states in the following 11 markets: Southeastern Pennsylvania; Central New Jersey; Southern New Jersey; Orange County, New York; Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro, North Carolina; Richmond and Tidewater, Virginia; Chicago, Illinois; and Orlando, Florida. The Company's Charlotte, North Carolina market also includes operations in adjacent counties in South Carolina. The Company has operated in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for approximately 90 years. In fiscal year 2001, the Company began operations in North Carolina and Virginia through the acquisition of Parker & Lancaster Corporation ("PLC"), a privately-held residential homebuilder. The Company entered the Orlando, Florida market on July 28, 2003 through its acquisition of Masterpiece Homes, Inc. ("Masterpiece Homes"), a privately-held residential homebuilder. On July 28, 2004, the Company entered the Chicago, Illinois market through the acquisition of Realen Homes, L.P. ("Realen Homes"), an established privately-held homebuilder with operations in Chicago, Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania. On December 23, 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement of the same date, the Company acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, certain real estate assets from Peachtree Residential Properties, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and Peachtree Townhome Communities, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company which, at the time the Company acquired the assets, were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Peachtree Residential Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation (collectively, "Peachtree Residential Properties"). In December 2005, the Company entered the Phoenix, Arizona market as a start-up operation via the purchase of an undeveloped parcel of land. On December 31, 2007, the Company committed to exiting the Phoenix market and, in connection with that decision, on that date disposed of its entire land position and its related work-in-process homes in Phoenix, which constituted substantially all of its assets in the western region. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified for all prior periods presented to reflect this business as a discontinued operation (see Note 2—"Discontinued Operations").

        References to a given fiscal year in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are to the fiscal year ended June 30th of that fiscal year. For example, the phrases "fiscal year 2008" or "year ended June 30, 2008" refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. When used in this report, the "northern region" segment refers to the Company's markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York; the "southern region" segment refers to the Company's markets in North Carolina and Virginia, as well as the adjacent counties in South Carolina; the "midwestern region" segment refers to the Company's market in Illinois; and the "Florida region" segment refers to the Company's market in Orlando, Florida. All dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise noted.

        During fiscal year 2008, the Company delivered 1,262 homes, as compared to 1,487 homes delivered during fiscal year 2007, a decrease of 15.1%. Earned revenues from residential property activities decreased by 13.2% during fiscal year 2008 to $562,183 as compared to $647,316 in fiscal year 2007. The Company's backlog at June 30, 2008 decreased 25.0% to $238,309, representing 486 homes, as compared to $317,913, representing 609 homes, at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, the Company was selling in 91 communities and owned or controlled 7,229 building lots, as compared to 100 communities and 10,503 owned or controlled building lots at June 30, 2007, a decrease in lots of 31.2%.

        Jeffrey P. Orleans, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, beneficially owns (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) approximately 60% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock").

        In November 2007, the Company announced that Mr. Michael T. Vesey, its President and Chief Operating Officer, had taken a leave of absence related to an existing medical condition. Mr. Vesey's responsibilities were carried out effectively by existing management during his absence. Though his medical condition persists, Mr. Vesey resumed his responsibilities as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company in February 2008.

Construction

        The Company historically has designed its own homes with the assistance of unaffiliated architectural firms as well as supervised the development and building of its communities. When the Company constructs homes, it acts as a general contractor and employs subcontractors at specified prices for the installation of site improvements and construction of its residential homes. The Company's agreements with subcontractors typically provide for a fixed price for work performed or materials supplied.

5


        The Company does not manufacture any of the materials or other items used in the development of its communities, nor does it maintain substantial inventories of materials. The Company has not experienced significant delays in obtaining materials needed to date and has long-standing relationships with many of its major suppliers and contractors. None of the Company's suppliers or contractors accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total purchases in fiscal year 2008.

        A majority of the Company's single-family detached homes are constructed after the home sale contract has been signed and mortgage approval has been obtained. When the Company builds condominium buildings, they are typically two story, wood frame construction buildings with between four and eight units, similar to its townhome product offerings. Depending on the market conditions and the specific community, the Company may also build homes without first obtaining a signed home sale contract or customer commitment. In the past, most of these speculative homes have been sold while under construction. The Company, however, experienced an increase in speculative inventory during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of higher cancellation rates. Through the use of sales incentives, the Company believes that it substantially eliminated its excess completed home and speculative inventory as of June 30, 2007, and continued to reduce its speculative inventory to appropriate levels given the market conditions during fiscal year 2008. The Company monitors its completed home and speculative inventory continuously to help achieve an adequate return on investment.

Purchasing and Budgeting

        The Company has established relationships with a number of vendors and suppliers in each of its markets and believes these relationships reduce its exposure to any market shortages of labor or materials. The Company has negotiated price arrangements that it believes are favorable with regional suppliers to purchase items such as lumber, appliances, plumbing fixtures, floor coverings and other high-quality equipment and materials. The Company has established budgets for all of its home designs and offered options. These budgets are modified and adjusted by local division management to reflect the specifications needed to meet market demands and local cost variances.

Sales and Marketing

        The Company markets its homes to various types of homebuyers according to the specific needs of each market. The Company advertises using the internet, newspapers, industry publications, direct mail, radio, billboards and brochures. The Company has developed and maintains its website, www.orleanshomes.com, to provide prospective homebuyers with information regarding its communities, available home designs and price ranges, as well as a multimedia gallery offering panoramic video tours and streaming video presentations of some of its homes.

        The Company typically utilizes furnished model homes, staged by professional decorators, located in its communities, to help sell its homes. The Company prefers to staff these models with its own sales professionals to assist prospective homebuyers with home selection and financing decisions. The Company's sales professionals are compensated on a commission basis and are trained extensively in selling techniques, construction and home financing programs. When market conditions warrant, the Company utilizes designated real estate sales brokers who are typically paid on a commission basis. A significant portion of the Company's sales are generated in cooperation with outside brokers. Accordingly, the Company sponsors a variety of programs and events to increase awareness and provide incentives to the brokerage community to promote and sell the Company's homes. The Company also offers a preferred buyer program, which provides its homebuyers in certain of its markets with a discount to be used toward the future purchase of one of its homes.

        In addition to a wide range of home designs, the Company provides its buyers with the ability to personalize their homes through an extensive home customization program. In most markets, the

6



Company facilitates this process with the use of design centers, which provide a centralized and professionally merchandised presentation of the various options and features available in its homes. Some of the Company's most popular options include kitchen and flooring upgrades and bonus rooms. Homebuyers have the opportunity to work individually with a design consultant to assist them in making their option and upgrade selections. The design consultants are paid a combination of salary and commission. The Company believes the use of design centers increases homebuyer satisfaction, streamlines the option selection process, and ultimately leads to greater profitability.

        Sales of the Company's homes are made pursuant to a standard home sale contract, which is modified to comply with jurisdictional requirements. A deposit of ten percent of the purchase price is typically required for each contract; however, in certain markets the required deposits may be as low as two percent. In addition, the home sale contract typically contains a financing contingency. The financing contingency provides homebuyers with the right to cancel in the event they are unable to obtain financing at a prevailing interest rate within a specified time period from the execution of the home sale contract. Typically, the Company will not commence construction until mortgage approval has been obtained. The contract may also contain other contingencies, such as the sale of the homebuyer's existing home. The Company closely monitors all such contingencies.

Land Policy

        The Company acquires land in order to provide an adequate and well-located supply for its residential building operations. The Company's strategy for land acquisition and development is dictated by specific market conditions where it conducts its operations. In general, the Company seeks to minimize the overall risk associated with acquiring undeveloped land by structuring purchase agreements that allow it to control the process of obtaining environmental and other regulatory approvals, but defer the acquisition of the land until the approval process has been substantially completed. In its southern and Florida regions, the Company also acquires improved lots from land developers on a lot takedown basis. Under a typical agreement with a land developer, a minimal number of lots are purchased initially, and the remaining lot takedowns are subject to the terms of an option agreement. In evaluating possible opportunities to acquire land, the Company considers a variety of factors including projected sales price and profitability, feasibility of development, proximity to developed areas, population growth patterns, customer preferences, estimated cost of development and availability and cost of financing.

        The Company engages in many phases of development activity, including land and site planning, obtaining environmental and other regulatory approvals, and the construction of roads, sewer, water and drainage facilities, recreation facilities and other amenities. The Company believes that its experience entitling and developing lots in the highly regulated Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets for over forty years has given it expertise in all aspects of the site selection, land planning, entitlement and land development processes which can be leveraged across all markets in which the Company operates.

        As of June 30, 2008, the Company owned building lots that would yield approximately 5,382 homes. As of June 30, 2008, the Company also had under option land and improved lots for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $124,186 that would yield approximately 1,847 homes for a total owned or controlled lot position of approximately 7,229 lots. Generally, the Company structures its land acquisitions so that it has the right to cancel the agreements to purchase undeveloped land and improved lots by forfeiture of its deposit under the agreement. Furthermore, these agreements are generally contingent upon obtaining all governmental approvals and satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had incurred costs associated with the acquisition and development of these parcels aggregating approximately $10,380, including approximately $4,846 of cash deposits. The cash deposits do not include variable interest entities consolidated under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") 46R—

7



"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51." Contingent upon the Company obtaining all required regulatory approvals, it anticipates completing a majority of these acquisitions during the next several years. The Company presently believes that the contracts and terms on these parcels will result in a positive return for the Company, despite the current market conditions. During fiscal year 2008, the Company wrote-off $8,760 in land deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to contracts to purchase both improved lots and undeveloped land where the Company has either cancelled the option or where the acquisition of the property was not probable due to insufficient economic returns.

        The following table sets forth the Company's land positions as of June 30, 2008.

Customer Service and Quality Control

        The Company believes its customer service begins when the home sale contract is executed. The Company's homebuyers are provided with a detailed New Homebuyer Manual, which outlines the home construction and delivery process. Homebuyers are provided with up to four orientation sessions conducted at the home. These orientation sessions provide the homebuyer with the opportunity to become familiar with the construction and operation of the home as well as provide the Company with valuable feedback. Immediately prior to delivery of the home, the final orientation is conducted, from which a list of items to address is generated.

        After delivery of the home, the Company processes all requests for warranty service through its customer service department. In the event service is required, the Company believes that a timely response is critical. The Company typically schedules its contractors to minimize the inconvenience to the homebuyer and attempts to complete the necessary repairs within 14 days of receipt of a request for warranty service. The Company utilizes a two-step customer survey process to obtain valuable feedback from its customers and to help monitor the level of customer satisfaction at the time of and after delivery of the home.

Warranty Program and Construction Defect Claims

        The Company provides all of its homebuyers with a one to two year limited warranty on workmanship and materials and a ten-year limited warranty covering structural items. The extent of the warranties may vary depending on the state in which the community is located. The Company's contracts with its subcontractors and suppliers generally require them to indemnify the Company for any claims for defective materials or workmanship arising for up to one year from the date of completion of the item, thereby reducing the Company's warranty exposure.

Cost Sharing Arrangements and Joint Ventures

        From time to time, the Company has developed and owned communities through joint ventures with other parties. Determinations by the Company to enter into these agreements have been based upon a number of factors, including the opportunity to limit its financial exposure involved in the acquisition of larger parcels of land and the ability to pool resources with other homebuilders and

8



developers with respect to completion of the regulatory approval process for a particular parcel. Additionally, in the northern region, the Company has partnered with other homebuilders and developers to acquire land and/or to develop or improve common off-site facilities, such as sewer treatment plants. Most of these agreements are established as cost sharing arrangements whereby the homebuilders and developers share in the cost of acquiring the parcel or developing or improving the off-site facility. In some communities in the southern region, as an alternative to land acquisition financing, the Company has partnered with developers to construct and sell homes on the developers' lots. At the time of settlement, the developers receive a fixed amount for the cost of the lot and a portion of the profits from the sale of the home. The Company will continue to evaluate all opportunities related to cost sharing agreements and joint ventures; however, as of June 30, 2008, and historically, these arrangements have not been material to the Company's operations.

Financial Services

        As part of the Company's objective to make the home buying process more convenient and increase the efficiency of its building cycle, the Company offers mortgage brokerage services to its customers. Through the Company's mortgage brokerage subsidiary, it assists its homebuyers in obtaining financing directly from unaffiliated lenders. The Company does not fund or service the mortgage loans. The Company's mortgage operation derives most of its revenue from buyers of its homes, although it also offers its services to existing homeowners refinancing their mortgages, as well as to customers purchasing pre-existing homes or new homes from one of the Company's competitors.

        During fiscal year 2008, approximately 72% of the Company's homebuyers utilized the services of its mortgage business compared to 56% during fiscal year 2007. In general, the Company derives less than 1% of its total earned revenues from the mortgage business.

        Due to the Company's market position, and through the involvement of the mortgage broker subsidiary, the Company believes that it has limited exposure to the sub-prime mortgage market, as the average price of our homes is higher than the industry average. We define sub-prime mortgages as conventional loans with a credit score below 620.

Employees

        During fiscal year 2008, due to the continued difficult market conditions, the Company made the difficult decision to reduce its headcount by over 20%. These reductions, which primarily occurred in July 2007 and January 2008, impacted all of the Company's regions. The reductions were primarily targeted at reducing office personnel and construction supervisor personnel and laborers.

        During fiscal year 2007, the Company reduced its headcount by over 25%. This headcount reduction was made as a result of the general downturn in the homebuilding industry. The reductions occurred in several stages throughout the fiscal year and across all of the Company's regions. The reductions were primarily targeted at reducing construction supervisory personnel and laborers, but also impacted sales and office personnel.

        The headcount reductions since June 2006 are reflected in the table below:

 
  As of June 30,  
 
  2008   2007   2006  

Executive, administrative and clerical

    224     273     359  

Sales personnel

    177     173     273  

Construction supervisory personnel and laborers

    143     262     356  
               

Total employees

    544     708     988  
               

9


        Subsequent to June 30, 2008, the Company's headcount has decreased by more than 10%, primarily due to additional lay-offs, which were necessary due to the continued difficult market conditions. From June 30, 2006 to August 31, 2008, the Company's headcount had decreased by over 50%.

        The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Government Regulations

        The Company and its subcontractors are subject to continuing compliance requirements of various federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations regarding zoning, building, construction and similar matters. The intensity of development in recent years in areas in which the Company is actively developing real estate has resulted in increasingly restrictive regulation and moratoriums by governments due to density, sewer and water, ecological and similar factors. Further expansion and development may require prior approval of federal, state and local authorities and may result in delay or curtailment of development activities and costly compliance programs.

        In January 1983, the New Jersey Supreme Court rendered a decision known as the "Mount Laurel II" decision, which has the effect of requiring certain municipalities in New Jersey to provide housing for persons of low and moderate income. In order to comply with such requirements, municipalities in New Jersey may require developers, including the Company, in connection with the development of residential communities, to construct low or moderate income houses in its communities or to contribute funds or otherwise assist in the achievement of the municipalities fair share of low or moderate income housing through Regional Contribution Agreements or assessments. To satisfy these requirements, these municipalities generally require the Company to contribute funding based upon the delivery of homes in those communities. The Company contributed $175, $1,750 and $50 to municipalities in fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in order to satisfy low and moderate income housing requirements for municipalities in which the Company builds. The affordable housing contributions are expensed through cost of sales when houses are delivered. In July, 2008, legislation was passed in New Jersey that effectively ends the Regional Contribution Agreement as a means to address affordable housing requirements under the Fair Housing Act ("FHA"), the effect of which may be to construct price restricted housing on site or to contribute payments for low or moderate income housing. The Company is currently assessing what impact this new legislation will have on its New Jersey operations.

        Regulation by federal and state authorities relating to the sale and advertising of condominium interests and residential real estate has become more restrictive and extensive. In order to advertise and sell condominiums and residential real estate in many jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, the Company has been required to prepare a registration statement or other disclosure document and, in some cases, to file such materials with a designated regulatory agency.

        Despite the Company's past ability to obtain necessary permits and authorizations for the communities the Company builds, more stringent requirements may be imposed on developers and homebuilders in the future. Although the Company cannot determine the effect of such requirements, they could result in time-consuming and expensive compliance programs and substantial expenditures for environmental controls, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. In addition, the continued effectiveness of permits already granted is subject to many factors beyond the Company's control, including changes in policies, rules and regulations and their interpretation and application.

        On July 30, 2008, The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (the "Act") was enacted into law. Among other things, the Act provides for a temporary first-time home buyer tax credit of up to $7.5 for purchases made through July 1, 2009, which is repayable over 15 years; reforms of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including adjustments to the conforming loan limits; modernization and expansion of

10



the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA"), including an increase to 3.5% in the minimum down payment required for FHA loans; and the elimination of down payment assistance programs for FHA loans approved after September 30, 2008. The Act is intended to help stabilize and add consumer confidence to the housing industry. The Company is evaluating the impact the Act will have on its business and future results of operations. In the short time since the Act was signed into law, the industry has not seen a noticeable increase in traffic at new-home builder communities.

Environmental Regulation and Litigation

        Development and sale of real property creates a potential for environmental liability on the part of the developer, owner or any mortgage lender for its own acts or omissions as well as those of prior owners of the subject property or adjacent parcels. While the Company does not currently have any material environmental liabilities of which it is aware, in the future, if hazardous substances are discovered on or emanating from any of its properties, the Company, as well as any prior owners or operators, may be held liable for costs and liabilities relating to these hazardous substances. Environmental studies are generally undertaken in connection with property acquisitions by the Company and it endeavors to obtain Phase I environmental site assessments on all properties acquired. Further governmental regulation with respect to environmental matters affecting residential development could impose substantial additional expense on the Company, which could adversely affect the results of operations or the value of properties owned, or under contract of purchase by the Company.

Competition

        The homebuilding industry is highly competitive. The Company competes on the basis of its reputation, location, design, price, financing programs, quality of product and related amenities. The Company competes with local, regional and national homebuilders, some of which have greater sales, financial resources and geographical diversity than the Company. In addition to competition for homebuyers, we also compete with other homebuilders for desirable properties, raw materials and reliable, skilled labor. We also compete with individual resales of existing homes (including the growing number of foreclosed homes offered at substantially reduced prices), as well as the rental housing market. In recent months, short sales (a transaction in which the seller's mortgage lender agrees to accept a payoff of less than the balance due on the loan) and foreclosures have become a sizable portion of the existing home market.

Economic Conditions

        The Company's business is affected by general economic conditions in the United States and its related regions and particularly by the level of interest rates. The Company cannot determine whether interest rates will continue to be at levels attractive to prospective home buyers or whether mortgage and construction financing will continue to be available.

11


        The unfavorable market conditions in the housing industry have continued to negatively impact the Company's closings, new order activity, absorption, pricing and cancellations. Excess new and resale home inventory remains in numerous markets, which has contributed to the continued difficulties buyers face in selling their existing homes. Demand remains slow due to decreased consumer confidence in the housing market and increased economic uncertainty; increased uncertainty in the overall mortgage and mortgage insurance markets; tightened underwriting standards in the mortgage industry; increased foreclosures; and stress in the financial markets and in general consumer credit. The Company continues to observe nationwide discounting, particularly by some of the largest companies in our industry. While the actions by the Federal Reserve Bank to decrease the target Federal Funds Rate and increases in liquidity to the capital markets were both positive for the macro market, we believe that these challenges will remain in the homebuilding industry at least in the near term. Further, economic conditions will likely be weak in the near term. The Company believes that unfavorable market conditions may continue to have a negative impact on new orders, new order pricing and cancellations, thereby further reducing revenues, gross margins and net income. The Company is responding to these unfavorable market conditions by attempting to maintain absorption levels through the use of sales incentives; reevaluating its individual land holdings; reducing its land expenditures; continuing to operate with reduced housing inventory levels and emphasizing cost reductions to adjust for lower levels of production. Further decreases in demand for our homes may require the Company to further increase the use of sales incentives. The Company also continues to evaluate its owned and controlled lot positions and other assets.

Seasonality

        The sale and construction of homes may be adversely affected by harsh weather conditions in some of the regions in which the Company operates, including hurricanes in the Florida region and snow and ice in other regions. Residential revenue is typically lowest in the first fiscal quarter and highest in the fourth fiscal quarter.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

        In addition to historical information, this report contains statements relating to future events or our future results. These statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and are subject to the Safe Harbor provisions created by statute. Generally words such as "may", "will", "should", "could", "would", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "continue" and "believe" or the negative of or other variation on these and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements with respect to potential liabilities relating to litigation currently pending against us, our ability to meet covenants in our loan documents, changes in market conditions, anticipated delivery of homes in backlog, expected warranty costs, future land acquisitions and the availability of sufficient capital for us to meet our operating needs, are made only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

        Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties and our future results could differ significantly from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.

12


        Many factors, including those listed below, could cause our actual consolidated results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements:

The homebuilding industry is experiencing a severe and extended downturn that may continue for an indefinite period and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and stockholders' equity.

        The homebuilding industry has experienced a significant and sustained downturn characterized by decreased demand for new homes, an oversupply of both new and resale home inventories, including foreclosed homes; aggressive price competition among homebuilders, including increased incentives for home sales and; a more restrictive mortgage lending environment. Economic conditions in the United States have also weakened recently, which puts continued pressure on consumer confidence for residential real estate. These industry and economic trends have resulted in downward pressure on our home prices, fewer home sales and increased cancellation rates. As a result, we have experienced a significant reduction in revenues and margins. These challenging market conditions are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and, in the near term, these conditions may further deteriorate. We expect that continued weakness in the homebuilding industry could further adversely affect our business, results of operations and stockholders' equity.

Deterioration in economic conditions in general could further reduce the demand for homes and, as a result, could reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition.

        Changes in national and local economic conditions could have a negative impact on our business. Adverse changes in employment levels, job growth, consumer confidence and income, interest rates and population growth may further reduce demand, depress prices for our homes and cause homebuyers to cancel their agreements to purchase our homes, thereby possibly reducing earnings and adversely affecting our business and results of operations. Recent changes in these economic variables have had an adverse affect on consumer demand for, and the pricing of, our homes, causing our revenues to decline and future deterioration in economic conditions could have further adverse effects.

Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the financial services industry may reduce the demand for our homes and the availability of home mortgage financing, among other things.

        Recently, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company, its ability to borrow money to finance its operations from its existing lenders under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or otherwise, and could also adversely impact the availability of financing to our customers.

Home prices and sales activities in our Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia markets have a significant impact on our sales and earnings because we conduct a significant portion of our business in these markets.

        We presently conduct a significant portion of our business in our Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia markets. Demand for new homes and home prices have recently been declining in these markets. There can be no assurance that our earnings and financial position will not be further impacted if the challenging conditions in these markets continue or worsen.

Continued high cancellation rates may negatively impact our business.

        Our backlog reflects the number and value of sold but undelivered homes. Our sales contracts typically require purchasers to make a cash deposit. Generally, under our contracts, we have the right

13



to compel the customer to complete the purchase; however, our only effective remedy may be the retention of the deposit. In some cases, a customer may receive full or partial return of the deposit. If the current industry downturn continues, economic conditions continue to deteriorate or if mortgage financing becomes less accessible, more homebuyers may find it advantageous to cancel their contracts with us and risk forfeiting their deposit, either in full or in part, rather than complete the purchase. Significant cancellations have had, and could have in the future, a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

We currently have a significant amount of debt. To service our indebtedness and continue our operations, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

        We currently have a significant amount of debt. As of June 30, 2008, our total consolidated indebtedness was $501,851, which includes mortgage and other note obligations, subordinated notes and other notes payable. In addition, subject to the restrictions in our revolving credit facility and our trust preferred securities, we may incur significant additional indebtedness. The amount of additional debt that we can incur under these restrictions varies over time based on a number of factors, including borrowing base availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility at such time. We may also need additional funding for our operations. There is no guarantee that additional borrowings will be available to us. In the event that we are able to make additional borrowings and such borrowings materially alter our debt to capitalization ratio, it may be more difficult and expensive for us to obtain additional capital, specifically debt.

        Our ability to make payments on and refinance our indebtedness and to acquire land will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, capital markets, competitive, legislative, financial services industry conditions, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We can make no assurances that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. Furthermore, challenging conditions in the capital markets and financial services industry has resulted in difficulty in obtaining debt financing. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof or incur additional debt. Our senior secured credit facility matures on December 20, 2009. We can make no assurances that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including, but not limited to, our senior secured revolving credit facility, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

        If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing to fund our operations or expansion, it could adversely affect our results of operations and future growth. Our significant level of debt and challenging industry conditions for financial institutions could make it more difficult for us to obtain additional debt financing in the future. We may be unable to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms or at all. If the market continues to deteriorate, we may default under the financial covenants in our senior secured revolving credit facility and, if we default on such financial covenants, we may be unable to obtain amendments to, or waivers under, our senior secured revolving credit facility. If we raise additional funds by incurring additional debt, we will incur increased debt service costs and may become subject to more restrictive financial and other covenants which could limit our ability to operate our business as we desire. In addition, increases in interest rates can make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain the funds we need to operate our business.

The financing agreements governing our debt contain various covenants that limit our discretion in the operation of our business and could lead to acceleration of debt.

        Our senior secured revolving credit facility contains financial and other restrictive covenants and requirements that limit our ability to engage in certain activities. For example, under our senior secured

14



revolving credit facility we are subject to covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth; minimum liquidity; minimum cash flow from operations ratios; minimum unrestricted cash held for more than five business days; and limitations on certain land acquisition and joint venture investment; and a prohibition on dividends. In addition, there are various financial covenants with respect to the value of land in certain stages of development that we may own. The agreements and instruments governing our other debt, such as our trust preferred securities, also contain other covenants and requirements. Failure to comply with any of the covenants or requirements in our existing or future financing agreements or instruments could result in an event of default under those agreements or instruments. Our senior secured revolving credit facility also contains a cross-default provision so that a default under the agreements or instruments governing our other debt could cause a default under our senior secured revolving credit facility. Further, a default under our senior secured revolving credit facility could prevent us from making payments required by our trust preferred securities. If not cured, a payment default or other event of default could result in the acceleration of all or most of our debt and permit lenders to foreclose upon any collateral securing that debt. In addition, lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they made to supply us with further funds. Under these circumstances, we might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations. The limitations imposed by our financing agreements on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing.

        Our second amended and restated secured revolving credit facility also generally requires that all real property sales by Borrowers and Guarantor be conducted through a title company with the proceeds of sale going directly to the agent under the credit facility to immediately reduce advances under the facility. As this process will generally preclude us from having direct access to revenues generated from our operations, we will be required to make frequent draws under our credit facility. If there is any interruption in our ability to make draws under our credit facility, even if temporary or only partial and notwithstanding our intention to hold significant cash working capital reserves to the extent our credit facility permits such amounts and subject to borrowing base availability, our ability to operate our business could be materially and adversely impacted.

        In the past two fiscal years, we have amended our senior secured revolving credit facility several times and have also received a waiver and an extension of such waiver prior to the completion of the most recent amendment. Were it not for these amendments and the waiver, we would not have been able to comply with the covenants contained in the senior secured revolving credit facility. We can make no assurances that we will be able to comply with our covenants in the future or will be able to obtain future amendments or waivers of the covenants in our financing agreements and instruments, if necessary, upon acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, future amendments or waivers are likely to place future restrictions on our ability to engage in certain activities, as well as increase the cost of our financing.

The anticipated reappraisal of a material amount of assets in our borrowing base could decrease our liquidity and materially and adversely impact our operations.

        Under our second amended and restated credit agreement, we agreed to allow the lenders to conduct future appraisals on a fair market value basis on all projects with a GAAP cost of at least $4,000 to be phased in generally over the next three fiscal quarters, but excluding the projects already recently appraised. In the event that the reappraisals result in a determination that a material amount of the assets in our borrowing base have a value lower than the cost and the existing appraised values, the net availability under the credit facility could be materially reduced from existing or anticipated levels. Such a reduction in net availability could require us to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under our credit facility or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our ability to fund our continuing operations, which could have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

15


Increases in interest rates, tightening of lending standards and decreases, limitations or restrictions in the availability of mortgage financing and other economic factors outside our control, such as consumer confidence and declines in employment levels could lead to fewer home sales, which could adversely affect our total earned revenues and earnings.

        The large majority of our customers finance their purchases through mortgage financing obtained through us or other sources and our business and earnings, therefore, depend on the ability of our customers to obtain mortgages for their home purchases. The United States residential mortgage market is experiencing significant disruption. Mortgage interest rates have recently experienced significant volatility and contributed to the challenging market conditions faced by us and the housing industry. In addition, as a result of increased default rates and other factors, the willingness of many lenders to make home mortgage loans has decreased and lenders have tightened their lending standards. Deterioration in credit quality among subprime and other nonconforming loans has caused lenders to eliminate such loans. The volatility in interest rates, the decrease in the willingness of lenders to make home mortgage loans, the tightening of lending standards and the availability of fewer loan products have made it more difficult for some potential buyers to finance the purchase of our homes. Potential buyers may not be able to obtain acceptable financing to purchase our homes, leading to further declines in the market for our homes. In particular, because the availability of mortgage financing is an important factor in marketing many of our homes, any limitations or restrictions on the availability of mortgage financing or increases in mortgage interest rates could reduce our home sales, the lending volume at our mortgage brokerage subsidiary and our total earned revenues, earnings and future backlog. Even if our potential customers do not need financing, changes in interest rates and mortgage availability could make it harder for them to sell their existing homes to potential buyers who need financing. Any limitations or restrictions on the availability of mortgage financing, further interest rate increases or limits on the deductibility of home mortgages could adversely affect our sales, which would reduce our revenues.

        The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 includes a provision that eliminates, effective October 1, 2008, seller-financed down payment assistance programs for Federal Housing Administration loans. Although not material to the Company on a direct basis, seller-financed down payment assistance programs were important to some of our competitors in certain markets. The elimination of such seller financed down payment assistance programs could lead to increased cancellations and lower orders for our competitors. Such actions could result in further national discounting by our competitors, which could result in lower demand for our homes and put competitive pressure on us to further reduce our home prices thereby affecting our revenues and margins.

        We also believe that the availability of mortgage financing provided by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Administration or the Veteran's Administration is an important factor in marketing many of our homes. Any limitations or restrictions on the availability of those types of financing could reduce our sales.

We are subject to substantial risks with respect to the land and home inventories we maintain and fluctuations in market conditions may affect our ability to sell our land and home inventories at expected prices, if at all, which could reduce our total earned revenues and earnings.

        As a homebuilder, we must constantly locate and acquire new tracts of land for development and developed homesites to support our homebuilding operations. There is a lag between the time we acquire land for development or developed homesites and the time that we can bring the communities built on the acquired land to market and deliver homes. As a result, we face the risk that demand for housing may decline during this period (as has occurred in the industry since 2006) and that we will not be able to dispose of developed properties or undeveloped land or homesites acquired for development at expected prices or within anticipated time frames or at all. The market value of home inventories, undeveloped land and developed homesites can fluctuate significantly because of changing market

16



conditions. In addition, inventory carrying costs (including interest on funds used to acquire land or build homes) can be significant and can adversely affect our performance. Because of these factors, we may be forced to sell homes, land or lots at a loss or for prices that generate lower profit than we anticipate. As we did during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, we may also be required to make material write-downs of the book value of our real estate assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Deterioration of market conditions in the homebuilding industry and customer demand could adversely affect our land inventory and property market values.

        During the year ended June 30, 2008, we decided not to pursue development of certain parcels of land on which we had option agreements and the acquisition of certain lots on which we had options resulting in write-offs of land deposits and pre-acquisition costs. In addition, we recorded significant impairments to residential properties completed or under construction and land held for development or sale and improvements. The impairments were primarily due to a slower than anticipated pace of new orders and increases in sales incentives required to generate new home orders, as well as certain land sales completed primarily in December 2007. These write-offs and impairments adversely affected our results of operations during the year ended June 30, 2008. If market conditions in the homebuilding industry or customer demand continue to deteriorate or do not improve in future periods, we may decide not to pursue development of additional parcels of land or the acquisition of additional lots on which we have option agreements, and the value of existing land holdings and residential properties may continue to decline. This would lead to further write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs and impairments to residential properties and land held for development or sale and improvements.

        In addition, over the past year we have sold many land assets of the Company, resulting in the exit of the Company from Palm Bay and Palm Coast, Florida and Arizona markets and reduced positions in the Orlando, Florida and Chicago, Illinois markets. If the market conditions in the homebuilding industry continue to deteriorate or do not improve in future periods, we may need to sell additional land assets in these or other markets, depleting the number of home lots available to us, which could adversely affect an ability to build new homes, thus affecting our sales and reducing our future revenues from the sale of homes.

The market value of our inventory could drop significantly, which may require further write-downs to the carrying value of our real estate held for development and sale to its estimated fair value, which would negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

        The Company acquires land for replacement of land inventory and expansion within our current markets, as well as expansion into new markets. Prevailing market conditions may significantly influence the market value of our land held for development or sale and improvements and our residential properties completed or under construction. If the market conditions continue to deteriorate, we may be required to further write-down the carrying value of our real estate held for development and sale to its estimated fair value. Such write-downs would have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The competitive conditions in the homebuilding industry could increase our costs, reduce our total earned revenues and earnings and otherwise adversely affect our results of operations or limit our growth.

        The homebuilding industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete in each of our markets with a number of national, regional and local builders for customers, undeveloped land and homesites, raw materials and labor. Some of our competitors have greater financial resources, more established market positions and better opportunities for land and homesite acquisitions than we do

17



and have lower costs of capital, labor and material than we do. The competitive conditions in the homebuilding industry could, among other things:

    cause us to increase incentives to potential homebuyers which could reduce our profit margins;

    make it difficult for us to acquire suitable land or homesites at acceptable prices and terms which could adversely affect our ability to build homes;

    require us to increase incentives and selling commissions which could reduce our profit margins;

    result in delays in construction if we experience a delay in procuring materials or hiring trades people or laborers;

    result in lower sales volume and total earned revenues; and

    increase our costs and reduce our earnings.

        We also compete with resales of existing homes (including the growing number of foreclosed homes offered at substantially reduced prices), available rental housing and, to a lesser extent, condominium resales. An oversupply of competitively priced resale or rental homes in the markets in which we operate could adversely affect our ability to sell homes profitably.

        Due to our significant debt levels, challenging conditions in the capital markets and financial services industry, we may not have the capital resources in the near term to acquire land that opportunistically becomes available from financial institutions through foreclosures or from troubled homebuilders. Some of our competitors may be in better position to take advantage of such favorable acquisition opportunities that should likely become available in the future.

We may be unable to obtain suitable bonding for the development of our communities.

        We provide bonds to governmental authorities and others to ensure the completion of our projects. If we are unable to provide required surety bonds for our projects, our business operations and revenues could be adversely affected. As a result of the recent deterioration in market conditions, the availability of surety bonds has significantly decreased. In addition, surety bond providers could refuse to provide surety bonds in the future or they could require credit enhancements in order to maintain existing bonds or to issue new bonds. As a result, we may be unable to maintain existing surety bonds or obtain new surety bonds on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain required bonds in the future, or are required to provide credit enhancements with respect to our current or future bonds, our liquidity could be negatively impacted.

We may not be able to acquire suitable land at reasonable prices, which could result in cost increases we are unable to recover and reduce our total earned revenues and earnings.

        Our ability to continue our homebuilding activities over the long-term depends upon our ability to locate and acquire suitable parcels of land or developed homesites to support our homebuilding operations. The cost of acquiring suitable land may rise and the availability of suitable parcels at acceptable prices may decline. In addition, due to our significant debt levels, other homebuilders with more readily available capital resources may be in a better position to take advantage of favorable acquisition opportunities that could arrive in the future. If we are unable to acquire suitable land or developed homesites at reasonable prices, it could limit our ability to develop new communities or result in increased land costs that we may not be able to pass through to our customers. Consequently, this competition could reduce the number of homes we sell or our profit margins and lead to a decrease in our total earned revenues and earnings.

18


We are subject to construction defect, product liability and warranty claims arising in the ordinary course of business that could adversely affect our results of operations.

        As a homebuilder, we are subject in the ordinary course of our business to construction defect, product liability and home warranty claims. We generally provide our homebuyers with a one to two year limited warranty covering workmanship and materials and a ten year limited warranty covering major structural defects. Claims arising under these warranties and construction defect and general product liability claims are common in the homebuilding industry and can be costly. Although we maintain construction defect and product liability insurance, the coverage offered by, and availability of, this insurance is currently limited and, where coverage is available, it may be costly. As a result of increasing insurance costs and an analysis of our claims history, we self-insure the first $2,000 of each construction defect and product liability claim. Our product liability insurance and homebuilder protective policies contain limitations with respect to coverage, and these insurance rights may not be adequate to cover all construction defect, product liability and warranty claims for which we may be liable. In the future, coverage could be further restricted and become more costly. In addition, although we generally seek to require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, we may be unable to enforce any such contractual indemnities. Uninsured and unindemnified construction defect, product liability and warranty claims, as well as the cost of product liability insurance and our homebuilder protective policy, could adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

We may be subject to mold litigation and mold claims arising in the ordinary course of business for which we have no insurance that could adversely affect our results of operations.

        Lawsuits have been filed against homebuilders, including us, and insurers asserting claims of property damage and personal injury caused by the presence of mold in homes. Some of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements against homebuilders and their insurers. Our insurance carriers have excluded coverage for claims arising from the presence of mold and we have not set aside any funds to pay for potential damages relating to mold claims. Uninsured mold liability and claims against us could adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

We may be subject to environmental liabilities that could adversely affect our results of operations or the value of our properties.

        Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations including those relating to discharges to air and water, storage and disposal of waste, disturbance of wetlands and clean up of contaminated soil or groundwater. In addition, development and sale of real property creates a potential for environmental liability on our part as owner and developer, for our own acts as well as the acts of prior owners or operators. If we fail to comply with environmental requirements or regulated materials are discovered on, under or emanating from any of our current or former properties, we may be held liable for costs and liabilities relating to those materials. In addition, environmental hazards on parcels of land adjacent to any of our properties could also negatively impact the value of our properties or result in liabilities. Should a substantial environmental hazard be found on any of our properties or adjacent properties, our results of operations and the value of the contaminated property could be adversely affected. New requirements or more stringent enforcement of existing laws or regulations could also result in increased costs.

We depend upon the continued services of certain members of our senior management team and the loss of their services could harm our business.

        Our future success and ability to implement our current business plan depends, in part, on the continuing services of our senior management team, led by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey P. Orleans. Members of our senior management team possess industry, sales, marketing,

19



financial and managerial knowledge, experience and skills that are critical to the operation of our business and may be difficult to replace. If we lose or suffer an extended interruption in the services of one or more members of our senior management team, our financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected. In November 2007, the Company announced that its President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Michael T. Vesey, had taken a leave of absence related to an existing medical condition. Mr. Vesey resumed his responsibilities as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company in February 2008, though his medical condition persists. While the Company believes that Mr. Vesey's responsibilities were carried out effectively by existing management during his absence, in the event of an extended interruption of Mr. Vesey's services in the future, or in the event of an extended interruption in the services of any other member of our senior management team, no assurance can be given that the Company's senior management would be able to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the absent executive without an adverse affect on future operations. Furthermore, the market for qualified individuals is also highly competitive and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace members of our senior management team if needed.

Shortages of materials and increases in the price of materials can harm our business by delaying construction, increasing costs, or both.

        We and the homebuilding industry from time to time have experienced significant difficulties with respect to:

    shortages of materials;

    increases in the cost of certain materials, such as asphalt, siding, roofing, lumber, drywall and cement, which are significant components of home construction costs; and

    shortages of qualified trades people and other labor.

        These difficulties have in the past and likely will in the future cause unexpected short-term increases in construction costs and cause construction delays for us. We will not be able to recover unexpected increases in construction costs by raising our home prices because, typically, the price of each home is established at the time a customer executes a home sale contract. Furthermore, sustained increases in construction costs may, over time, erode our profit margins. We have historically been able to offset sustained increases in construction costs with increases in the prices of our homes and through operating efficiencies. However, the current homebuilding industry market conditions require that we reduce the prices of our homes. As a result, the effect of construction cost increases and reductions in home prices have been to significantly reduce the margins on the homes we sell. This makes it more difficult for us to recover the full cost of previously purchased land and construction costs, and has contributed to the significant reductions in the value of our inventory. Continued increased pricing competition may further restrict our ability to pass on any additional potential cost increases, and we may not be able to achieve sufficient operating efficiencies to maintain our current profit margins.

We depend on the continued availability and satisfactory performance of our subcontractors which, if unavailable, could have a material adverse effect on our business by limiting our ability to build and deliver homes.

        We conduct our construction operations only as a general contractor. Virtually all construction work is performed by unaffiliated third-party subcontractors. As a consequence, we depend on the continued availability of and satisfactory performance by these subcontractors for the construction of our homes. If these unaffiliated third-party subcontractors do not continue to be available and perform satisfactorily, our ability to build and deliver homes could be limited. This could lead to a reduction in our total earned revenues and earnings and have a material adverse effect on our business.

20


Our business is subject to governmental regulations that may delay, increase the cost of, prohibit or severely restrict our development and homebuilding projects and reduce our total earned revenues and growth.

        We are subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations that affect the land development and homebuilding process, including laws and regulations related to zoning, permitted land uses, levels of density, building design, elevation of properties, water and waste disposal, affordable housing and use of open spaces. In addition, our subcontractors and we are subject to laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety. We also are subject to a variety of local, state and federal laws and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment. In some of the markets in which we operate, we are required to pay environmental impact fees, use energy saving construction materials and give commitments to provide certain infrastructure such as roads and sewage systems. We must also obtain permits and approvals from local authorities to complete residential development or home construction. The laws and regulations under which our subcontractors and we operate, and their and our obligations to comply with them, may result in delays in construction and development, cause us to incur substantial compliance and other increased costs, and prohibit or severely restrict development and homebuilding activity in areas in which we operate. If we are unable to continue to develop communities and build and deliver homes as a result of these restrictions or if our compliance costs increase substantially, our total earned revenues and earnings may be reduced.

States, cities and counties in which we operate have adopted, or may adopt, slow or no growth initiatives which would reduce our ability to build and sell homes in these areas and could adversely affect our total earned revenues and earnings.

        Several states, cities and counties in which we operate have approved, and others in which we operate may approve, various "slow growth" or "no growth" initiatives and other ballot measures that could reduce the amount of land and building opportunities within those localities. This could lead us to sell fewer homes and reduce our earnings. Approval of slow or no growth measures would reduce our ability to acquire land and to build and sell homes in the affected markets and create additional costs and administration requirements, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our total earned revenues and earnings.

        Expansion of regulation in the housing industry has increased the time required to obtain the necessary approvals to begin construction and has prolonged the time between the initial acquisition of land or land options and the commencement and completion of construction. These delays can increase our costs, decrease our profitability and increase the risks associated with the land inventories we maintain. Municipalities may restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps. In some areas, municipalities may enact growth initiatives that would restrict the number of building permits available in a given year. If municipalities in which we operate take actions like these, it could have an adverse effect on our business by causing delays, increasing our costs or limiting our ability to build in those municipalities. This, in turn, could reduce the number of homes we sell and decrease our total earned revenues.

Increases in taxes or governmental fees could increase our costs and adverse changes in tax laws could reduce customer demand for our homes, either of which could reduce our total earned revenues or profitability.

        Increases in real estate taxes and other local government fees, such as fees imposed on developers to fund schools, open space, road improvements or low and moderate income housing, could increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our operations. In addition, increases in local real estate taxes could adversely affect our potential customers who may consider those costs in determining whether to make a new home purchase and decide, as a result, not to purchase one of our homes. In addition, any changes in the income tax laws that would reduce or eliminate tax incentives to homeowners could make housing less affordable or otherwise reduce the demand for housing, which in turn could reduce our total earned revenues and earnings.

21


We may not be successful in our effort to identify, complete or integrate acquisitions or to enter new markets through start-up operations, which could disrupt the activities of our current business, adversely affect our results of operations and future growth or cause losses.

        A principal component of our business strategy is to continue to grow profitably, including, when appropriate, by acquiring other homebuilders. We may not be successful in implementing our acquisition strategy, and growth may not continue at historical levels or at all. When acquiring another company, we may have difficulty assimilating the operations of acquired businesses, incur unanticipated liabilities or expenses, and our management's attention may be diverted from our current business. The acquisition of other companies may also result in our entering markets in which we have limited or no experience. The failure to identify or complete business acquisitions, or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire, could adversely affect our results of operations and future growth. In addition, our acquisitions may not be as profitable as we anticipate or could even produce losses.

        Furthermore, we may choose to enter new markets or expand operations in existing markets by starting new operations, rather than by acquiring an existing homebuilding company. If we choose to expand through start-up operations, we will not have the advantage of the experience and brand recognition of an established homebuilding company. As a result, we may incur substantial start-up costs in establishing our operations in new markets, and we may not be successful in taking operations from the start-up phase to profitability. If we are not successful in making start-up operations profitable, we may not be able to recover our investment and may incur losses.

Jeffrey P. Orleans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our majority shareholder, can cause us to take certain actions or preclude use from taking actions without the approval of the other shareholders and may have interests that could conflict with other shareholders.

        Jeffrey P. Orleans, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as of June 30, 2008, beneficially owned approximately 60% of the voting power of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Orleans has the ability to control the outcome of virtually all corporate actions, including the election of all directors, the approval of any merger, the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and other significant corporate actions. His interest in exercising control over our business may conflict with the interests of other shareholders. This voting power might also discourage someone from acquiring us or from making a significant equity investment in us, even if we need the investment to meet our obligations and to operate our business.

Our business, total earned revenues and earnings may be adversely affected by adverse weather conditions or natural disasters.

        Adverse weather conditions, such as extended periods of rain, snow or cold temperatures and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and fires, can delay completion and sale of homes, damage partially complete or other unsold homes in our inventory and negatively impact the demand for homes or increase the cost of building homes. To the extent that adverse weather conditions occur for extended periods or natural disasters occur, our business and quarterly results may be adversely affected. To the extent our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption losses or repair costs resulting from these events, our total earned revenues and earnings may be adversely affected.

Acts of war or terrorism may seriously harm our business.

        Acts of war, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, including the armed conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, or acts of terrorism, may cause disruption to the economy, our company, our employees and our customers, which could reduce demand for our homes and adversely impact our total earned revenues and earnings.

22


We may not be able to utilize all of our deferred tax assets.

        During the year ended June 30, 2008, we established a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $53,642. Our deferred tax assets consist primarily of inventory valuation adjustments, net operating loss carryforwards, goodwill impairments, and reserves and accruals that are not currently deductible for tax purposes offset in part by capitalized interest. Some or all of these deferred tax assets could expire unused if we are unable to generate taxable income in the future sufficient to utilize them or we enter into transactions that limit our right to use them. If a material portion of our deferred tax assets expire unused, it could have a material negative impact on our financial position or results of operations, which could have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The Company primarily develops, builds and markets high quality single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums. As of June 30, 2008, the Company operated in four regions in the following 11 markets:

        Northern region:

      Southeastern Pennsylvania;
      Central New Jersey;
      Southern New Jersey; and
      Orange County, New York

        Southern region:

      Charlotte, North Carolina (including adjacent counties in South Carolina);
      Richmond, Virginia;
      Raleigh, North Carolina;
      Greensboro, North Carolina; and
      Tidewater, Virginia

        Midwestern region:

      Chicago, Illinois

        Florida region:

      Orlando, Florida

        The Company has been in operation for approximately 90 years, starting out in the Philadelphia and New Jersey markets. We entered the North Carolina and Virginia markets in fiscal year 2001 through our acquisition of Parker & Lancaster Corporation, a privately-held residential homebuilder. The Company entered the Orlando, Florida market on July 28, 2003, through its acquisition of Masterpiece Homes, Inc. ("Masterpiece Homes"), a privately-held residential homebuilder. On July 28, 2004, we entered the Chicago, Illinois market through the acquisition of Realen Homes, L.P. ("Realen Homes"), an established privately-held homebuilder with operations in Chicago, Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania. On December 23, 2004, the Company acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, certain real estate assets from Peachtree Residential Properties, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and Peachtree Townhome Communities, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company which, at the time we acquired the assets, were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Peachtree Residential Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation (collectively, "Peachtree Residential Properties"). In December 2005, we entered the Phoenix, Arizona market as a start-up operation via the purchase of an undeveloped parcel of land. On December 31, 2007, the Company committed to exiting its Arizona market and, in connection with this decision, on that date we disposed of our entire land position and related work-in-process homes in Arizona, which constituted substantially all of our assets in the western region. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified for all prior periods presented to reflect this business as a discontinued operation (see Note 2—Discontinued Operations). We believe that we are one of the 50 largest homebuilders in the United States and are one of the top ten homebuilders in both the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Richmond, Virginia markets.

        During the second half of fiscal year 2006, all of fiscal years 2007 and 2008 as well as subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Company faced several challenges relating to unfavorable market conditions in the housing industry, including (a) increased new and resale home inventory levels (including the growing number of foreclosed homes offered at substantially reduced prices); (b) decreased homebuyer demand due to lower consumer confidence in the overall housing market; (c) increased uncertainty in the overall mortgage market; and (d) increased mortgage underwriting standards. The decrease in homebuyer demand as a result of lower consumer confidence can be attributed to concerns of

29



prospective buyers of new homes about the direction of home prices, which has increased general homebuyer uncertainty regarding whether it is the right time to buy a home. The uncertainty in the mortgage market is partially the result of concerns regarding the sub-prime mortgage market, which has experienced rising delinquencies and defaults by borrowers as they experience financial difficulties due to rising interest rates. This credit deterioration has led to the bankruptcies of major sub-prime mortgage lenders, reduced general availability of mortgage financing and the tightening of lending standards. While the Company has minimal exposure to the sub-prime markets, these factors may make it more difficult for our potential customers to sell their existing homes. These market challenges are evidenced by the overall reduction in new orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. New orders decreased $147,974, or 23.5%, which represents 242 homes.

        As a result of these and other challenges, the Company recorded inventory impairments and write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs. In addition to these charges, the Company continued to reduce headcount in all of its regions and take other steps to control increasing costs. The Company continues to respond to the uncertainties noted above by increasing sales incentives and offering limited time promotions with the objective of improving new orders and reducing home inventory levels.

        Similarly, the Company assesses whether goodwill is impaired. This assessment is based on the estimated future cash flows. Actual results could differ from such estimates which could result in the determination that the goodwill is no longer recoverable.

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a valuation allowance was established in the amount of $53,642 for the deferred tax assets due to the lack of sufficient objective evidence regarding the realization of these assets in the foreseeable future. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. SFAS No. 109 provides that a cumulative loss in recent years is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable and also restricts the amount of reliance on projections of future taxable income to support the recovery of deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time.

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recognized additional impairment charges of $2,825 reflecting the impact of cumulative out of period adjustments. This error was related to impairments taken on the Company's residential properties and had the effect of increasing residential property expenses and reducing net income by $2,825. The Company concluded that this adjustment is not material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior period nor to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Results of Operations

        The tables included in "Item 1—Business" summarize the Company's revenues, new orders and backlog data for fiscal year 2008 with comparable data for fiscal years 2007 and 2006. The Company classifies a sales contract as a new order for backlog purposes at the time a homebuyer executes a contract to purchase a home from the Company.

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Orders and Backlog

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $147,974, or 23.5%, to $482,579 on 1,139 homes, compared to $630,553 on 1,381 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The average price per home of net new orders decreased by approximately 7.2% to $424 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $457 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to the unfavorable market conditions. Increases in the availability of both new and existing homes, including the increased number of homes in foreclosure has contributed to the decline in the average price of new and existing homes, including homes sold by the Company. Approximately 83% of the Company's net new order activity during the past two fiscal years occurred in the northern and southern regions, while the Midwest and Florida region accounted for approximately 12% and 5% of the new order activity, respectively.

        The decrease in the Company's net new orders during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, primarily was attributable to the continued unfavorable market conditions in the housing industry, as noted above.

        The backlog at June 30, 2008 decreased $79,604, or 25.0%, to $238,309 on 486 homes compared to the backlog at June 30, 2007 of $317,913 on 609 homes. At June 30, 2008, nearly 90% of the Company's backlog related to the northern and southern regions compared with nearly 87% for those regions at June 30, 2007. The average price per home included in the Company's backlog decreased 6.1% to $490 at June 30, 2008 compared to $522 at June 30, 2007. The decrease in the average price per home included in the Company's backlog is primarily attributable to increases in sales incentives offered by the Company in response to the difficult market conditions.

        The Company experienced cancellation rates of approximately 26% and 23%, respectively for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Substantially all of the orders in sales backlog as of June 30, 2008 are scheduled to close during fiscal year 2009.

Northern Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $55,135 to $196,217, or 21.9%, on 441 homes, compared to $251,352 on 490 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in new orders is primarily attributable to unfavorable market conditions noted above. The average price per home of new orders decreased by 13.3% to $445 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $513 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in the average price per home of new orders is primarily the result of the increased sales incentives noted above.

        The Company had 31 active selling communities in the northern region as of June 30, 2008 compared to 34 active selling communities at June 30, 2007.

Southern Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $41,295 to $216,945, or 16.0%, on 487 homes compared to $258,240 on 520 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in new orders was mainly attributable to the downturn in the housing market. The average price per home of new orders decreased 10.3% to $445 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $497 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in the average price per home of new orders is primarily the result of the increased sales incentives noted above.

        The Company had 49 active selling communities in the southern region as of June 30, 2008 compared to 50 active selling communities at June 30, 2007.

31


Midwestern Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $30,246 to $52,157, or 36.7%, on 135 homes compared to $82,403 on 182 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in new orders was primarily the result of decreased homebuyer demand due to lower consumer confidence in the overall housing market. The Company has continued to respond to this decreased homebuyer demand by increasing sales incentives. The average price per home of new orders decreased by 14.7% to $386 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $453 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

        The Company had eight active selling communities in the midwestern region as of both June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

Florida Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $21,298 to $17,260, or 55.2%, on 76 homes, compared to $38,558 on 189 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in new orders for the fiscal year is primarily the result of the continued deterioration of market conditions in this region. New orders were also negatively impacted by our exit from the Palm Bay and Palm Coast markets. The average price per home of new orders increased by 11.3% to $227 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $204 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the average price per home of new orders was primarily a result of our exit from the Palm Bay and Palm Coast markets and our focus on the more expensive Orlando market.

        The Company had three active selling communities in the Florida region as of June 30, 2008, compared to six active selling communities as of June 30, 2007.

Total Earned Revenues

        Total earned revenues, which includes residential revenue, land sale revenue and other income, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $99,251 to $583,282, or 14.5%, compared to $682,533 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Residential Revenue

        Residential revenue earned from the sale of residential homes included 1,262 homes totaling $562,183 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 1,487 homes totaling $647,316 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The average selling price per home delivered increased by approximately 2.3% to $445 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $435 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Northern Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased $23,794 to $231,034, or 11.5%, on 486 homes delivered as compared to $207,240 on 429 homes delivered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in residential revenue earned is primarily due to closings at communities opened late in fiscal year 2007 or during fiscal year 2008. The average selling price per home delivered for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decrease by 1.6% to $475 compared to $483 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Southern Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $37,642 to $243,714, or 13.4%, on 514 homes delivered as compared to $281,356 on 579 homes delivered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in residential revenue earned and homes delivered was

32



primarily attributable to the overall decline in market conditions, as noted above, that led to reductions in new order activity in the region. The average selling price per home delivered in the region decreased by 2.4% to $474 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $486 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Midwestern Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $32,804 to $59,005, or 35.7%, on 142 homes, compared to $91,809 on 208 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in residential revenue earned is primarily the result of the overall decline in market conditions, as noted above, that led to decreased new order activity in the region which began during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and continued throughout fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The average selling price per home delivered decreased 5.9% to $416 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $441 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Florida Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $38,481 to $28,430, or 57.5%, on 120 homes, compared to $66,911 on 271 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in residential revenue earned is primarily due to the overall decline in market conditions, coupled with our exit from the Palm Coast and Palm Bay markets. The average selling price per home delivered decreased 4.0% to $237 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $247 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Land Sales

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company received proceeds on the sale of land of $36,157. Of the $36,157 received during the fiscal year, $11,432 was recognized as land sales revenue; $11,300 related to proceeds in the Company's western region and was included in discontinued operations; and $13,425 related to two parcels of land that were sold and subsequently subject to an option agreement (see Note 5—Inventory). Due to the federal income tax losses recorded by the Company related to these transactions, the Company received approximately $34,000 of federal income tax refunds as a result of these transactions and other operations for its taxation year ended December 31, 2007. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded land sale revenue of $25,170.

Other Income

        Other income consists primarily of property management fees and mortgage processing income. Other income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $380 or 3.8% to $9,667, compared to $10,047 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Costs and Expenses

        Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $72,219 or 9.3% to $705,189, compared with $777,408 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 included inventory impairments of $95,475 and write-off of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $8,760. Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included inventory impairments of $62,787, goodwill impairments of $16,334 and write-off of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $19,597. Decreases in costs and expenses are primarily the result of lower variable costs that decreased in conjunction with the decreases in residential revenues noted above, the reduction in selling, general and administrative costs and the

33



prior fiscal year impairment of goodwill. These reductions were partially offset by the impact of higher inventory impairments.

Cost of Residential Properties

        The cost of residential properties for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $60,354 to $553,600, or 9.8%, when compared with $613,954 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 included residential property inventory impairments of $58,919 and $62,787, respectively. Decreases in cost of residential properties is primarily the result of lower variable costs that decreased in conjunction with the decreases in residential revenues noted above, coupled with the impact of lower residential property inventory impairments.

Cost of Land Sales

        The cost of residential properties for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased $21,660 to $47,682, or 83.2%, when compared with $26,022 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 included inventory impairments related to land sales of $36,556. These impairments include the land sales related to land which the Company maintained an option to purchase. See note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report.

Inventory Impairments:

        As a result of increased sales incentives offered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease in anticipated absorption rates at various communities, increasing uncertainty with respect to the overall mortgage market, increased mortgage underwriting standards and a slower than anticipated pace of new orders, the Company recorded impairment charges of $83,836 related to land held for development or sale and improvements and $11,639 related to residential properties completed or under construction, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The impairment losses recorded in fiscal year 2008 were recorded in all of our homebuilding segments, most notable with respect to communities in the midwestern region, which had more than 40% of the impairments. The Company recorded impairment charges of $54,489 related to land held for development or sale and improvements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, $7,318 related to residential properties completed or under construction and $980 related to prepaid sales and marketing expenses. The impairment losses recorded in fiscal year 2007 were recorded in all of our homebuilding regions. The impairment losses were charged to the cost of residential properties and represent the amounts by which the book values of the residential properties and land held for development or sale and improvements exceeded the estimated fair value of the assets.

        The fiscal year 2007 impairment related to residential properties completed or under construction included $5,000 of impairments on model homes related to 51 specific model homes in three of the Company's regions.

Gross Profit Margin:

        The Company's consolidated gross profit margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased to (4.4)% compared to 5.3% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gross profit included inventory impairments of $95,475 or 16.4% of revenue, and $62,787 or 9.2% of revenue, respectively.

        Gross profit is defined as earned revenue less residential property expense, land sale expense and other expense.

        The decrease in the Company's consolidated gross profit margins was primarily attributable to reduced gross profit margins in all of the Company's regions. The decreases primarily resulted from the

34



unfavorable market conditions which led to an increase in sales incentives. In addition, the Company sells a variety of home types in various communities and regions, each yielding a different gross profit margin. As a result, depending on the mix of both communities and home types delivered, the consolidated gross profit margin may fluctuate up or down on a periodic basis and periodic profit margins may not be representative of the consolidated gross profit margin for future fiscal years.

Interest Included in Cost of Residential Properties and Land Sold:

        Interest included in the costs and expenses of residential properties and land sold for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $30,050 and $18,311, respectively. The increase of $11,739 in interest included in the costs and expenses of residential properties and land sold was primarily attributable to the land sales that took place during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. The interest incurred during the construction periods is capitalized to inventory and then expensed to the cost of residential properties in the period in which the home settles. The fiscal 2008 interest included in cost of residential properties and land sales consists of $20,902 related to residential properties and $9,148 related to land sales.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses include selling and advertising costs, commissions and other general and administrative costs, which include write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $18,097 to $96,430, or 15.8%, when compared with $114,527 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to cost-cutting measures taken in response to the continuing weakness in the market, coupled with lower write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses included write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $8,760 and $19,597, respectively. The selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, decreased to 17.2% as compared to the 17.7% for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Selling and Advertising:

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, selling and advertising costs decreased $3,641 to $28,558, or 11.3%, when compared with $32,199 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Selling and advertising costs includes advertising, community sales office expense, model home expense, amortization of deferred marketing costs and other selling costs. During the fiscal year, the Company decreased spending on advertising in an effort to reduce costs in proportion to the reduction in residential revenue. As a percentage of residential revenue, selling and advertising was 5.1% and 5.0% in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Commissions:

        The Company's commission expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, decreased $2,865 to $21,519, or 11.7%, when compared with $24,384 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease is primarily the result of decreased residential revenue earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Commission expense as a percentage of residential revenue earned was 3.8% in both fiscal years 2008 and 2007.

General and Administrative:

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, general and administrative costs decreased $11,591 to $46,353, or 20.0%, when compared to $57,944 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. General and

35



administrative costs included write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $8,760 and $19,597 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the staff reductions that took place during fiscal year 2008, coupled with the lower write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs.

        As a result of the unfavorable market conditions discussed above, the Company reviewed its land under option and agreements of sale and other pre-acquisition costs to determine if the anticipated economics of the transactions remained acceptable to the Company given the state of the homebuilding industry. For those agreements deemed unfavorable, the Company attempted to renegotiate the transaction to more favorable terms. In those situations where the contract could not be renegotiated on terms the Company believed were favorable to the Company, the option or agreement of sale was written-off, resulting in write-offs of abandoned projects and pre-acquisition costs of $8,760 and $19,597 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Impairment of Goodwill

        As of June 30, 2008, the Company performed an impairment evaluation related to the goodwill that arose from the PLC acquisition made in the southern region. This goodwill represents the remaining goodwill reflected in the Company's balance sheet after impairments taken in 2007. Based on the result of this evaluation there was no impairment to goodwill recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company performed impairment evaluations related to the goodwill that arose from the Realen Homes, PLC and Masterpiece Homes acquisitions.

        The assessments were performed in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Management evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting units to their fair value. Fair value was determined based on the discounted future cash flows. These cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to current and future economic conditions, including absorption rates and margins reflective of slowing demand, as well as anticipated future demand. The amounts included in the discounted cash flow analysis are based on management's best estimate of future results. Discount rates were based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for business risks. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. Additionally, future changes in any of these factors could result in future impairments of the remaining goodwill

        As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge to reduce goodwill of $16,334 during fiscal year 2007, consisting of $13,327 and $3,007 related to the Realen Homes and Masterpiece Homes acquisitions, respectively. No impairment charge was necessary for the PLC acquisition.

Income Tax Benefit

        Income taxes from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, was a benefit of $976 as compared to a benefit of $37,458 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The income tax benefit as a percentage of loss from continuing operations before income taxes was 0.8% and 39.5% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The significant change in the Company's tax rate was a result of the establishment of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets due to the lack of objectively verifiable evidence regarding the realization of these assets in the foreseeable future. The valuation allowance established during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $53,642.

36


Loss from Discontinued Operations:

        On December 31, 2007, the Company specifically committed to exiting its Arizona market and, in connection with this decision, on that date, it disposed of its entire land position and its related work-in-process homes in Arizona. We have historically reported this business as the western region operating segment. The disposed work-in-process inventory and land assets constituted substantially all of our assets in the western region. As such, all charges associated with the western region are included as a discontinued operation and all amounts previously reported related to the western region have been reclassified to be presented with discontinued operations.

        Loss from discontinued operations was $21,741 or $1.18 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to a loss of $9,433 or $0.51 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The loss in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 includes impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of the land prior to being sold in the amount of $20,706. The loss in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, includes impairment charges in the amount of $13,733 million. In fiscal year 2008, discontinued operations included $4,140 of interest in cost of sales.

Net Loss

        As a result of all of the above, a net loss of $143,413 was recorded in fiscal year 2008 as compared to a net loss of $66,850 in fiscal year 2007. On a per share basis, the fiscal year 2008 net loss was $7.78—basic and fully diluted as compared to $3.62—basic and fully diluted for fiscal year 2007.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Orders and Backlog

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $126,369, or 16.7%, to $630,553 on 1,381 homes, compared to $756,922 on 1,612 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The average price per home of net new orders decreased by approximately 2.8% to $457 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $470 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Approximately 81% of the Company's net new order activity during fiscal years 2007 and 2006 occurred in the northern and southern regions.

        The decrease in the Company's net new orders during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, primarily was attributable to unfavorable market conditions in the housing industry.

        The backlog at June 30, 2007 decreased $16,763, or 5.0%, to $317,913 on 609 homes compared to the backlog at June 30, 2006 of $334,676 on 715 homes. At June 30, 2007, 86.6% of the Company's backlog related to the northern and southern regions compared with 75.9% for those regions at June 30, 2006. During the first two quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, there were cancellations of $20,266 in the Florida region related to the backlog at June 30, 2006. These cancellations relate primarily to the exit of investors from the region and the overall market decline in the Florida region. As of June 30, 2007, the Company believes that the backlog in the Florida region has reduced exposure to cancellations as a result of investor's exiting the markets in which the Company operates. Excluding these cancellations in Florida, there was minimal change in the backlog at June 30, 2007 as compared to the backlog at June 30, 2006. The average price per home included in the Company's backlog increased 11.5% to $522 at June 30, 2007 compared to $468 at June 30, 2006. The increase in the average price per home included in the Company's backlog is primarily attributable to changes in product mix and the opening of new communities with higher average price points in the northern, southern and midwestern regions. Specifically, single family homes, which typically have higher price points than multi-family homes, comprised a larger percentage of the backlog at June 30, 2007 when compared to the backlog at June 30, 2006.

37


        The Company experienced a cancellation rate of 23% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Northern Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 increased $8,623 to $251,352, or 3.6%, on 490 homes, compared to $242,729 on 455 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The increase in new orders is primarily attributable to six communities that were open for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, but were only opened during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company offered increased sales incentives in an effort to increase customer demand and counteract the unfavorable market conditions. The average price per home of new orders decreased by 3.8% to $513 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $533 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in the average price per home of new orders is primarily the result of the increased sales incentives noted above.

        The Company had 34 active selling communities in the northern region as of June 30, 2007 compared to 33 active selling communities at June 30, 2006.

Southern Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $109,094 to $258,240, or 29.7%, on 520 homes compared to $367,334 on 791 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in new orders was mainly attributable to the downturn in the housing market, but was partially offset by an increase in the average price per home of new orders of 7.1% to $497 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $464 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase in the average price per home of new orders is attributable to two factors. First, the Company increased prices in many of its communities in this region during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same communities and homes offered for sale during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Second, the Company opened new communities in the region during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 that have higher price points than the communities they replaced that were open during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

        The Company had 50 active selling communities in the southern region as of June 30, 2007 compared to 43 active selling communities at June 30, 2006.

Midwestern Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $15,542 to $82,403, or 15.9%, on 182 homes compared to $97,945 on 221 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in new orders, which began during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, primarily was the result of decreased homebuyer demand due to lower consumer confidence in the overall housing market. The Company has responded to this decreased homebuyer demand by increasing sales incentives and offering limited time promotions with the objective of improving new orders and reducing home inventory levels. The average price per home of new orders increased by 2.3% to $453 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $443 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

        The Company had eight active selling communities in the midwestern region as of June 30, 2007, compared to nine active selling communities as of June 30, 2006.

Florida Region:

        New orders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $10,356 to $38,558, or 21.2%, on 189 homes, compared to $48,914 on 145 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in new orders was a result of decreased homebuyer demand due to lower consumer confidence in the

38



overall housing market for this region. The average price per home of new orders decreased by 39.5% to $204 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $337 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in the average price per home of new orders was primarily a result of increased sales incentives being offered by the Company in an effort to decrease its new home inventory levels.

        The Company had six active selling communities in the Florida region as of June 30, 2007, compared to four active selling communities as of June 30, 2006.

Total Earned Revenues

        Total earned revenues, which includes residential revenue, land sale revenue and other income, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $304,659 or 30.9% to $682,533, compared to $987,192 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Residential Revenue

        Residential revenue earned from the sale of residential homes included 1,487 homes totaling $647,316 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 2,303 homes totaling $975,483 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The average selling price per home delivered increased by approximately 2.6% to $435 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $424 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Northern Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $185,487 to $207,240, or 47.2%, on 429 homes delivered as compared to $392,727 on 796 homes delivered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in residential revenue earned is primarily due to the overall decline in market conditions. Also contributing to the decrease in residential revenues was a decrease in the average selling price per home delivered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 of 2.0% to $483 compared to $493 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in the average selling price per home delivered is attributable to increased sales incentives offered during fiscal year 2007 as well as a change in the product mix of homes delivered. Specifically, townhomes and condominiums, which typically have lower average sales prices than single family homes, comprised a larger percentage of the total number of homes delivered in the region during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Southern Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $90,625 to $281,356, or 24.4%, on 579 homes delivered as compared to $371,981 on 862 homes delivered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in residential revenue earned and homes delivered was primarily attributable to the overall decline in market conditions, which led to reductions in new order activity in the region. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average selling price per home delivered of 12.5% to $486 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $432 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average price per home delivered is attributable to a change in the product mix of homes delivered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Specifically, the Company delivered a larger percentage of luxury and move-up homes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 than the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Midwestern Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $27,021 to $91,809, or 22.7%, on 208 homes, compared to $118,830 on 279 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

39



The decrease in residential revenue earned is primarily the result of the overall decline in market conditions that led to decreased new order activity in the region which began during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and continued throughout fiscal year 2007. The average selling price per home delivered increased 3.5% to $441 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $426 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Florida Region:

        Residential revenue earned for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $25,034 to $66,911, or 27.2%, on 271 homes, compared to $91,945 on 366 homes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in residential revenue earned is primarily due to the overall decline in market conditions and the exit of investors from the region, as noted above. As noted above, $20,266 of the backlog at June 30, 2006 cancelled and as such did not deliver during the year ended June 30, 2007. The Company counteracted these cancellations by offering increased sales incentives on the resulting speculative homes. As a result, the average selling price per home delivered decreased 1.6% to $247 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $251 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Land Sales

        Land sales revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 increased $23,136 to $25,170, compared to $2,034 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The increase in land sales revenue was primarily attributable to the sales of several land parcels in the southern region and scattered lot inventory in the Palm Bay, Florida region. The Company pursued land sales during the year ended June 30, 2007 in response to the overall decline in market conditions as a way to increase liquidity.

Other Income

        Other income consists primarily of property management fees and mortgage processing income. Other income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $372 to $10,047, or 3.8%, compared to $9,675 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Costs and Expenses

        Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $105,875 to $777,408, or 12.0%, when compared with $883,283 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included inventory impairments of $62,787, goodwill impairments of $16,334 and the write-off of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $19,597. Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 included inventory impairments of $1,877 and the write-off of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $4,452. Decreases in costs and expenses are primarily the result of lower variable costs that decreased in conjunction with the decreases in residential revenues noted above, offset by the impact of inventory impairments, goodwill impairments and the write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisitions costs.

Cost of Residential Properties

        The cost of residential properties for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $147,316 to $613,954, or 19.4%, when compared with $761,270 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included inventory impairments of $62,787 and $1,877, respectively. Decreases in cost of residential properties is primarily the result of lower variable costs that decreased in conjunction with the decreases in residential revenues noted above, offset by the impact of inventory impairments.

40


Inventory Impairments:

        As a result of increased sales incentives offered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a decrease in anticipated absorption rates at various communities, increasing uncertainty with respect to the overall mortgage market, increased mortgage underwriting standards and a slower than anticipated pace of new orders, the Company recorded impairment charges of $54,489 related to land held for development or sale and improvements and $7,318 related to residential properties completed or under construction, which includes $5,000 relating to model home inventory, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $980 related to prepaid sales and marketing expenses. The impairment losses recorded in fiscal year 2007 were recorded in all of our homebuilding segments. More than 40% of the fiscal year 2007 continuing operations impairment charges occurred in our Florida region. The Company recorded impairment charges of $1,877 related to land held for development or sale and improvements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The impairment losses recorded in fiscal year 2006 were split between the Florida and northern regions, with 68% of the loss being recorded in Florida. The impairment losses were charged to the cost of residential properties and represent the amounts by which the book values of the residential properties and land held for development or sale and improvements exceeded the estimated fair value of the assets.

        The $5,000 impairment on model homes noted above relates to 51 specific model homes in three of the Company's regions.

Gross Profit Margin:

        The Company's consolidated gross profit margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased 16.7% to 5.3% compared to 22.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, gross profit included inventory impairments of $62,787 or 9.2%, and $1,877 or 0.2%, respectively.

        The decrease in the Company's consolidated gross profit margins was primarily attributable to reduced gross profit margins in all of the Company's regions. The decreases primarily resulted from the inventory impairment charges and increased sales incentives offered during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 in an effort to generate new orders and reduce new home inventory. Additionally, increases in interest, the cost of land and warranty related costs led to the decrease in gross profit margin.

        In addition, the Company sells a variety of home types in various communities and regions, each yielding a different gross profit margin. As a result, depending on the mix of both communities and home types delivered, the consolidated gross profit margin may fluctuate up or down on a periodic basis and periodic profit margins may not be representative of the consolidated gross profit margin for future fiscal years.

Interest Included in Cost of Residential Properties and Land Sold:

        Interest included in the costs and expenses of residential properties and land sold for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $18,311 and $15,160, respectively. The increase of $3,151 in interest included in the costs and expenses of residential properties and land sold was attributable to an increase in land sales and increases in bank debt and the interest rates on the Company's subordinated notes issued in fiscal 2006, partially offset by decreases in residential revenue.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses include selling and advertising costs, commissions and other general and administrative costs, which include write-offs of abandoned projects and other

41



pre-acquisition costs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $854 to $114,527, or 0.8%, when compared with $113,673 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses included write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $19,957 and $4,452, respectively.

        The selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of residential revenue earned for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased 5.3% to 16.8% as compared to the 11.5% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase was related primarily to the write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs, which represented 2.9% and 0.5% of revenues for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Selling and Advertising:

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, selling and advertising costs increased $5,015 to $32,199 or 18.4%, when compared with $27,184 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Selling and advertising costs includes advertising, community sales office expense, model home expense, amortization of deferred marketing costs and other selling costs. During the fiscal year, the Company increased spending on advertising in an effort to generate homebuyer traffic. Similarly, the Company increased spending on landscaping in an effort to make the communities more attractive to prospective homebuyers. Finally, the increase in the amortization of deferred marketing costs and other sales office expenses was attributable to an increase in communities open when compared with the same period in the prior year.

Commissions:

        The Company's commission expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $9,862 to $24,384, or 28.8%, when compared with $34,246 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily the result of decreased residential revenue earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by an increase in the commission expense as a percentage of residential revenue earned. Commission expense as a percentage of residential revenue earned was 3.8% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.5% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase in commission expense as a percentage of residential revenue earned is the result of added incentives offered to sales people in an effort to generate increases in new order activity.

General and Administrative:

        For the year ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative costs increased $5,701 to $57,944, or 10.9%, when compared to $52,243 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. General and administrative costs included write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $19,597 and $4,452 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in general and administrative costs is primarily the result of an increase of $15,145 in write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs as noted above, partially offset by a $10,472 decrease in bonus expense.

        As a result of the unfavorable market conditions discussed above, the Company reviewed its land under option and agreements of sale and other pre-acquisition costs to determine if the anticipated economics of the transactions remained acceptable to the Company given the state of the homebuilding industry. For those agreements deemed unfavorable, the Company attempted to renegotiate the transaction to more favorable terms. In those situations where the contract could not be renegotiated on terms the Company believed were favorable to the Company, the option or agreement of sale was written-off, resulting in write-offs of abandoned projects and pre-acquisition costs of $19,597 and $4,452 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Impairment of Goodwill

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company performed impairment evaluations related to the goodwill that arose from the Realen Homes, PLC and Masterpiece Homes acquisitions.

        The assessments were performed in accordance with SFAS No. 142 due to decreased current and expected future absorption rates and declining margins as a result of the deteriorating market conditions in the regions in which Realen Homes and Masterpiece Homes operate. Fair value of the acquisitions was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on absorption rates and margins reflective of slowing demand as well as anticipated future demand. Discount rates were based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for business risks. Those amounts are based on management's best estimate of future results. As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge to reduce goodwill of $16,334 during fiscal year 2007, consisting of $13,327 and $3,007 related to the Realen Homes and Masterpiece Homes acquisitions, respectively. An impairment charge of $7,918 and $5,409 was recorded in the Company's northern and midwestern regions, respectively, related to the Realen Homes acquisition. The entire impairment charge for Masterpiece Homes was recorded in the Company's Florida region. Based upon the assessments, no impairment charge was necessary for the Company's southern region.

Income Tax Benefit / Expense

        Income taxes from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $78,005 to an income tax benefit of $37,458 from an income tax expense of $40,547 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Income tax benefit / expense as a percentage of income from operations before income taxes was 39.5% and 39.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The Company's tax provision includes tax benefits provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 of $0 and approximately $1,096 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Loss from Discontinued Operations:

        Loss from discontinued operations was $9,433 or $0.51 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to a loss of $321 or $0.02 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The loss in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, includes impairment charges in the amount of $13,733.

Net Loss / Income

        Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $129,891 to a net loss of $66,850, compared with net income of $63,041 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Net income included inventory impairment charges of $46,563 and $1,133, net of tax, write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs of $11,908 and $2,651, net of tax, and goodwill impairment charges of $9,709 and $0, net of tax.

        In all of the Company's regions, the decrease in net income is the result of the overall deterioration in market conditions as noted above. These unfavorable market conditions in the housing industry have led to inventory impairments and write-offs of abandoned projects and other pre-acquisition costs in each region and goodwill impairment charges in the northern, midwestern and Florida regions. Additionally, as a result of the downturn in market conditions, all of the Company's regions have experienced a decrease in residential revenue and gross profit margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        On an ongoing basis, we require capital for expenditures to purchase and develop land, to construct homes, to fund related carrying costs and overhead and to fund various advertising and

43



marketing programs to facilitate sales. These expenditures include site preparation, roads, water and sewer lines, impact fees and earthwork, as well as the construction costs of the homes and amenities. Our sources of capital include funds derived from operations, sales of assets and various borrowings, most of which are secured. Accordingly, our short and long term liquidity depends principally upon our level of net income, working capital management, accounts payable, accruals and bank borrowings. In an effort to increase liquidity, we may continue to pursue sales of parcels of land, as well as alternatives for selling a portion of our model home portfolio and other assets; however, we can offer no assurances as to whether or when such transactions will occur or whether the transactions will be on terms advantageous to us. In addition, we remained focused on reducing our inventory balances, curtailing land purchases and right sizing our operations in order to preserve cash.

        The Company received approximately $54,788 of income tax refunds during fiscal year 2008. The majority of these refunds resulted from certain land sales that took place in December 2007 as well as tax operating losses in the taxation year ended December 31, 2007. Federal tax refunds of approximately $34,000 were received in March 2008 related to these land sales and tax operating losses.

        We believe that cash on hand, funds generated from operations and financial commitments from available lenders will provide sufficient capital for us to meet our existing operating needs.

Revolving Credit Facility

        As of June 30, 2008, we had $160,363 of borrowing capacity under our secured revolving credit facility discussed below, subject to borrowing base availability, and borrowings in excess of availability of $20,411. On July 11, 2008, we made a payment of $13,000, which reduced our borrowings in excess of availability to $7,411. Borrowings remained in excess of availability primarily due to previously discussed impairment charges. But for the impairment charges taken in June 2008, our borrowing base availability would have been positive and we would not have had any borrowings in excess of availability at June 30, 2008. Since June 30, 2008, we have not had borrowings in excess of availability. The negative borrowing base availability did not have any adverse impact on the Company. At June 30, 2008, we had liquidity of $71,199, a decrease of $1,312 from June 30, 2007.

        We calculate liquidity as follows:

 
  As of June 30,  
 
  2008   2007  

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 72,341   $ 19,991  

Restricted cash—due from title companies

    19,269     25,483  

Net borrowing base availability

    (20,411 )   27,037  
           

Liquidity

  $ 71,199   $ 72,511  
           

        As of August 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $44,900, we had no restricted cash due from title companies, our net borrowing base availability was approximately $3,200 and our liquidity was approximately $48,100. The agent to the lenders under the revolving credit facility and the Company recently completed appraisals of projects in all regions in several divisions consisting on projects consisting of approximately 35% of the borrowing base assets as of May 31, 2008, prior to the determination of any inventory impairments. These asset appraisals are not scheduled to be utilized in availability determinations until the borrowing base certificate dated as of September 30, 2008. The results of the appraisals included both individual reductions in appraised values as well as some increases in appraised values. While these project appraisals are not scheduled to be utilized in borrowing base availability determinations until the borrowing base certificate dated as of September 30, 2008, the Company estimates that the net borrowing base availability, done on a lower of GAAP cost or appraised value basis for each individual project category and as adjusted for

44



increases and decreases in these project appraisals would have resulted in an increase in borrowing base availability of approximately $1.5 million as of June 30, 2008 and approximately $2.7 million as of August 31, 2008, respectively. Under this amended and restated credit agreement, the Company has permitted lenders to conduct future appraisals on a fair market value basis on all projects with a GAAP cost of at least $4,000 to be phased in generally over the next three fiscal quarters, but excluding the projects already recently appraised. The result of these appraisals is subject to numerous factors, and accordingly no assurance can be given on the result of either the recent or future bank appraisals or the corresponding liquidity impact to the Company.

        A majority of our debt is variable rate, based on the 30-day LIBOR rate, and therefore, we are exposed to market risk in connection with interest rate changes. At June 30, 2008, the 30-day LIBOR rate of interest was 2.4625%.

        On December 22, 2004, Greenwood Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers, and Orleans Homebuilders, Inc., as guarantor, entered into a Revolving Credit Loan Agreement for a Senior Secured Revolving Credit and Letter of Credit Facility with various banks as lenders (as amended and restated and further amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Loan Agreement was amended on January 24, 2006, via the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). In connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. executed a Guaranty, which was amended on September 6, 2007,and amended and restated on September 30, 2008. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended on November 1, 2006 (the "First Amendment"), February 7, 2007 (the "Second Amendment"), May 8, 2007 (the "Third Amendment"), September 6, 2007 (the "Fourth Amendment"), December 21, 2007 (the "Fifth Amendment"), a limited waiver (the "waiver letter") to the Amended Credit Agreement, which was extended on September 15, 2008, and amended and restated in the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement, dated September 30, 2008 (the "Second Amended Credit Agreement").

Waiver

        Absent the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $43,500 during the March 31, 2008 fiscal quarter, the Company would have been in compliance with all of the financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement at March 31, 2008. However, as a result of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, absent the waiver letter dated May 9, 2008, as extended on September 15, 2008, the Company would have been in default of the minimum consolidated tangible net worth, maximum leverage ratio, and maximum land to consolidated adjusted tangible net worth ratio covenants set fort in the Amended Credit Agreement at March 31, 2008 (the "Subject Covenants"). Subject to certain limitations, the waiver letter temporarily waived compliance with the Subject Covenants generally from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 (the "Waiver Period"), unless another event of default occurs or we fail to comply with the covenants in the waiver letter.

        In the waiver letter, the Company also agreed that it will act in good faith and use its best efforts to work with the agent lender during the Wavier Period to identify a material group of assets in its borrowing base for reappraisal prior to September 15, 2008, which have been completed and account for approximately 35% of the Company's collateral assets.

Second Amended Credit Agreement:

        On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into the Second Amended Credit Agreement which provides, among other things, that:

    The maturity date is December 20, 2009 for all lenders.

45


    The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $440,000, except that the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility will be $425,000 through December 31, 2008, and $415,000 from July 1, 2009 through December 20, 2009, unless otherwise permanently reduced as a result of certain required prepayments. The amount actually available under the Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to the borrowing base availability requirements in the Revolving Credit Facility.

    The letter of credit sublimit is reduced to $60,000.

    The swing line limit is reduced to $10,000.

    The unused fee is increased to 0.35%.

    The interest rate is changed to the LIBOR interest rate plus 5.0%.

    A fee will be earned and payable on September 15, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the aggregate level of the lenders' lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as they exist from time to time between September 30, 2008 and the earlier of September 15, 2009 and the date the commitments are permanently reduced to $250,000; however this fee will be reduced by 80% if the aggregate level of commitments on or before September 15, 2009 have been permanently reduced to $250,000.

    If the Company's indebtedness is not paid in full by December 20, 2009, a separate fee will be earned and payable on December 20, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the average daily outstanding cash borrowing as they exist from time to time after September 15, 2009.

    The letter of credit fees were changed to be the applicable spread, with the issuer retaining an issuance fee of 0.125%.

    The borrowing base calculation was amended to increase the maximum percentages for certain asset classes.

    Both of the leverage covenants, the debt service coverage ratio covenant and the units in inventory covenant were eliminated.

    The minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant was lowered to be not less than $75,000, (1) reduced by the sum of (a) inventory impairments under GAAP on assets in the borrowing base taken by the Company and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (b) the amount of any interest incurred less the amount of interest capitalized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 ("SFAS 34"), and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (c) any additional deferred tax asset valuation reserves recorded after March 31, 2008 (provided that clauses (a) and (c) are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $30,000), plus (d) any impairments or write-offs relating to tangible assets or pre-acquisition costs not contained in the borrowing base recorded after March 31, 2008, and (2) increased by the sum of (x) any favorable adjustment recorded after March 31, 2008, to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance as reported in the Company's third quarter fiscal 2008 financials, plus (y) 50% of positive quarterly net income after March 31, 2008 plus (z) 50% of any net securities proceeds received by the Company and the borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility after March 31, 2008. However, in no event may the consolidated tangible net worth, after taking into account the reductions and increases above, at any time be less than $35,000.

    The minimum liquidity level is reduced to $15,000.

    The minimum cash flow from operations ratio is reduced and the related definition of debt service was amended to exclude any amortized deferred financing costs related to all

46


      amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Second Amended Credit Agreement and/or the trust preferred securities and any future amendments to any of the foregoing.

    A $5,000 limit was put on our cash available for joint ventures, however, the Company may invest 50% of any net securities proceeds raised by the Company after March 31, 2008 in joint ventures that are non-recourse to the Company and may maintain current investments in cost-sharing arrangements or partnerships already in existence.

    The maximum amount of cash or cash equivalents (excluding cash at title companies) we are allowed to maintain was set at a maximum of $32,500 for any consecutive five-day period.

    The borrowers may purchase (a) up to $8,000 of real estate (whether purchase money or otherwise) in the normal course of business, consistent with projections provided to the lenders and (b) improved land (i.e., finished lot takedowns and/or controlled rolling lot options) purchased by the borrowers in the normal course of business, consistent with the projections provided to the Lenders.

        The Company also agreed that no dividends or distributions will be paid, no subordinated debt will be repaid, except for interest payable on such debt, and limitations were placed on purchases of additional land, including the method for financing such land.

        The lenders have agreed to allow the Company to pursue second lien indebtedness in certain limited circumstances. Any second lien indebtedness is subject to the approval of the lenders and the proceeds of any second lien indebtedness must be used to prepay amounts advanced under the facility and the amount of the facility will be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayment. The Company and the lenders have agreed that re-appraisals will be done on the Company's collateral assets. Approximately 35% of those assets have already been reappraised. The results of the appraisals included both individual reductions in appraised values as well as some increases in appraised values. While these project appraisals are not scheduled to be utilized in borrowing base availability determinations until the borrowing base certificate dated as of September 30, 2008, the Company estimates that the net borrowing base availability, done on a lower of GAAP cost or appraised value basis for each individual project category and as adjusted for increases and decreases in these project appraisals would have resulted in an increase in borrowing base availability of approximately $1.5 million as of June 30, 2008 and approximately $2.7 million as of August 31, 2008, respectively. Under this amended and restated credit agreement, the Company has permitted lenders to conduct future appraisals on a fair market value basis on all projects with a GAAP cost of at least $4,000 to be phased in generally over the next three fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2009, but excluding the projects already recently appraised. The result of these appraisals is subject to numerous factors, and accordingly no assurance can be given on the result of either the recent or future bank appraisals or the corresponding liquidity impact to the Company.

        Additional covenants were added to the facility, including requirements that the Company and borrowers grant a mortgage on any real property not already included in the borrowing base and subject to the Revolving Credit Facility; that all real property sales must be accomplished through a title company, with the net proceeds of such a sale going directly to the Agent for application to the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility; that any purchases of real estate must be done through a title company through advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and all such acquisitions must be subject to mortgages in favor of the lenders; and at the time of any such advance, the Company will be required to provide an estimate of the portion of the borrowing that will be used for construction needs and asset purchases with respect to an applicable project.

47


Terms of the Revolving Credit Facility:

        The borrowing limit under the Revolving Credit Facility is $440,000, except that the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility will be $425,000 through December 31, 2008, and $415,000 from July 1, 2009 through December 20, 2009, unless otherwise permanently reduced as a result of certain required prepayments. The total amount of loans and advances outstanding at any time under the Revolving Credit Facility may not exceed the lesser of the then-current borrowing base availability or the revolving sublimit as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowing base availability is based on the lesser of the appraised value or cost of real estate owned by us that has been admitted to the borrowing base and is subject to various limitations and qualifications set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

        Borrowings and advances under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on a per annum basis equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 500 basis points beginning October 1, 2008. Prior to October 1, 2008, the applicable spread had been 400 basis points. During the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, interest is payable monthly in arrears. At June 30, 2008, the interest rate was 6.4625%, which included a 400 basis point spread.

        A fee will be earned and payable on September 15, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the aggregate level of the lenders' lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as they exist from time to time between September 30, 2008 and the earlier of September 15, 2009 and the date the commitments are permanently reduced to $250,000; however this fee will be reduced by 80% if the aggregate level of commitments on or before September 15, 2009 have been permanently reduced to $250,000. Under this provision, we currently estimate that the minimum we will be required to pay is $0 and the maximum is $9,150, and the Company expects that it will pay no amounts under this provision as it intends to refinance the debt before the payment is due and payable. There can be no assurance that such refinancing will occur. In addition, if all indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is not fully repaid by December 30, 2009, a separate fee will be earned and payable on December 20, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum of the amount by which the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility that exist from time to time after September 15, 2009 exceed $250,000, calculated on a daily basis.

        In addition to any interest that may be payable with respect to amounts advanced by the lenders pursuant to a letter of credit, we will be required to pay to the lender(s) issuing letters of credit an issuance fee of 0.125% of the amount of the letters of credit.

        Under and subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the borrowers may borrow and re-borrow for the purpose of financing the acquisition and development of real estate, the construction of homes and improvements, for investment in joint ventures, for working capital and for such other appropriate corporate purposes as may be approved by the lenders. Capitalized terms used below and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

        Approximately 35% of the Company's collateral assets have been reappraised pursuant to the terms of the waiver letter and the Company and approximately one third of the assets in the borrowing base with a book value in excess of $4,000 that have not yet been appraised, will be appraised in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009. The re-appraisals that have been done to date have not had a material impact on the Company's valuation of the collateral assets, but there is no assurance that future re-appraisals will not have an impact on our valuations and thereby potentially reduce our borrowing base availability.

        Various conditions must be satisfied in order for real estate to be admitted to the borrowing base, including that a mortgage in favor of lenders has been delivered to the agent for lenders and that all governmental approvals necessary to begin development of for-sale residential housing, other than

48



building permits and certain other permits borrower in good faith believes will be issued within 120 days, have been obtained. Depending on the stage of development of the real estate, the loan to value or loan to cost advance rate in the borrowing base ranges from 50% to 95% of the appraised value or cost of the real estate. Based on these ranges, the Company is restricted as to the type of land it can have in various stages of development as well as the dollar value, of borrowing base availability of land under development.

        As security for all obligations of borrowers to lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, lenders continue to have a first priority mortgage lien on all real estate owned by the Company or any borrower and included in the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility. As further security, pursuant to the Second Amended Credit Facility, the Company has also agreed to grant to the lenders a security interest in and assignment of all future tax refunds and proceeds thereof received or payable to the borrowers or the Company after the closing of the Second Amended Credit Agreement, mortgages in favor of lenders with respect to all real property owned by the borrowers or the Company that is not already subject to a lien in favor of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and a security interest in inter-company debt. Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. has guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers to lenders pursuant to a Guaranty executed by Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. on January 26, 2006, amended on September 6, 2007 and amended and restated on September 30, 2008.

        Under the Guaranty, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. granted lenders a security interest in any balance or assets in any deposit or other account that Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. has with any lender. However, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain the majority of the cash available to them in accounts and as United States treasury securities in accounts outside of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility.

        The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit or eliminate the ability of the Company to (among other things):

    Incur or assume other indebtedness, except certain permitted indebtedness and possible second lien indebtedness if appropriately approved;

    Grant or permit to exist any lien, except certain permitted liens;

    Enter into any merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of another entity;

    Sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets;

    Enter into any transaction with an affiliate that is not a borrower or a guarantor under the Revolving Credit Facility, or a subsidiary of either;

    Pay any dividends;

    Redeem any stock or subordinated debt; and

    Invest in joint ventures or other entities that are not obligors under the Revolving Credit Facility.

        In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, all real property sales must be accomplished through a title company, with the net proceeds of such a sale going directly to the Agent for application to the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any purchases of real estate must be done through a title company through advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and all such acquisitions must be subject to mortgages in favor of the lenders; and, at the time of any such advance, the Company will be required to provide an estimate of the portion of the borrowing that will be used for construction needs. However, the Company may make additional draws from time-to-time pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

49


        The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial covenants. Among other things, the financial covenants, as amended, require that:

    We must maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of at least $75,000 (1) reduced by the sum of (a) inventory impairments under GAAP on assets in the borrowing base taken by the Company and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (b) the amount of any interest expense incurred less the amount of interest capitalized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 ("SFAS 34"),") and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (c) any additional deferred tax asset valuation reserves recorded after March 31, 2008 (provided that clauses (a) and (c) are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $30,000), plus (d) any impairments or write-offs relating to tangible assets or pre-acquisition costs not contained in the borrowing base recorded after March 31, 2008, and (2) increased by the sum of (x) any favorable adjustment recorded after March 31, 2008 to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance as reported in the Company's third quarter fiscal 2008 financials, plus (y) 50% of positive quarterly net income after March 31, 2008 plus (z) 50% of any net securities proceeds received by the Company and the borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility after March 31, 2008. However, in no event may the consolidated tangible net worth, after taking into account the reductions and increases above, at any time be less than $35,000.

    We must maintain a required liquidity level based on cash plus borrowing base availability of at least $15,000 of cash and cash equivalents (including cash held at a title company) on a consolidated basis at all times.

    Our minimum cash flow from operations ratio based on cash flow from operations to interest incurred covenant, must exceed 1.25-to-1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008; 0.40-to-1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2009; 1.00-to-1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009; and 1.25-to-1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and thereafter. Cash flow from operations is calculated based on the last twelve months cash flow from operations, adjusted for interest paid (excluding any amortized deferred financing costs related to all amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, this Second Amended Credit Agreement and the trust preferred securities and any future amendments to any of the foregoing), amounts from the disposition of model homes that are subject to a sale-leaseback transaction to the extent such amounts are not otherwise included in net cash provided by operating activities, and interest income.

    Investments in new non-recourse joint ventures whereby we will provide services to develop uncompleted assets are permitted in an amount not to exceed $5,000. However, the Company may also invest 50% of any net securities proceeds raised by the Company after March 31, 2008 in joint ventures that are non-recourse to the Company and may maintain current investments in cost-sharing arrangements or partnerships already in existence.

    The maximum amount of cash or cash equivalents (excluding cash at title companies) we are allowed to maintain was set at a maximum of $32,500 for any consecutive five-day period.

    The Company may purchase (a) up to $8,000 of real estate (whether purchase money or otherwise) in the normal course of business, consistent with projections provided to the lenders and (b) improved land (i.e., finished lot takedowns and/or controlled rolling lot options) purchased by the borrowers in the normal course of business, consistent with the projections provided to the Lenders.

        At the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2006, December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, we would have been in violation of certain financial covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement if not for the First Amendment, Second Amendment,

50



Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, waiver letter and the Second Amended Credit Agreement, respectively.

        The Revolving Credit Facility provides that, subject to any applicable notice and cure provisions, each of the following (among others) is an event of default:

    Failure by borrowers to pay when due any amounts owing under the Revolving Credit Facility;

    Failure by the Company to observe or perform any promise, covenant, warranty, obligation, representation or agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility or any other loan document;

    Bankruptcy and other insolvency events with respect to any borrower or the Company;

    Dissolution or reorganization of any borrower or the Company;

    The entry of a judgment or judgments against borrower(s) or the Company: (i) in an aggregate amount that is at least $500 in excess of available insurance proceeds, if such judgment or judgments are not dismissed or bonded within 30 days; or (ii) that prevents borrowers from conveying lots and units in the ordinary course of business if such judgment or judgments are not dismissed or bonded within 30 days; or the issuance of any writs of attachment, execution or garnishment against any borrower or the Company;

    Any material adverse change in the financial condition of a borrower or the Company which causes the lenders, in good faith, to believe that the performance of any of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility is impaired or doubtful for any reason; and

    Specified cross defaults.

        Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, after completion of any applicable grace or cure period, lenders may demand immediate payment in full of all indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, terminate their obligations to make any loans or advances or issue any letter of credit, set off and apply any and all deposits held by any lender for the credit or account of any borrower. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to any borrower or the Company, all indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be immediately due and payable without any act or action by lenders. A default under our Revolving Credit Facility could also prevent us from making required payments under our trust preferred securities, which would cause a default under those securities.

        If we do not meet our forecast in our budgets, we could violate our debt covenants and, absent a waiver or amendment from our lenders, we could be in default under our Revolving Credit Facility and, as a result, our debt could become due which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Trust Preferred Securities:

        On November 23, 2005, the Company issued $75,000 of trust preferred securities which mature on January 30, 2036 and are callable, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued interest on or after January 30, 2011. For the first ten years, the securities have a fixed interest rate of 8.61% per annum, provided that certain covenant levels are maintained. Thereafter, the securities have a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 360 basis points per annum, resetting quarterly. The securities are treated as debt obligations for financial statement purposes. The Company used proceeds from the sale of these securities to repay outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility discussed above.

        The trust's preferred and common securities require quarterly distributions of interest by the trust to the holders of the trust securities at a fixed interest rate equal to 8.61% per annum through January 30, 2016 and, after January 30, 2016, at a variable interest rate (reset quarterly) equal to the

51



three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 360 basis points. In the event the Company fails to meet the debt service ratio or minimum tangible net worth requirement set forth in the August 13, 2007 supplemental indenture as of the end of a fiscal quarter for at least three of the last four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2008, the applicable rate of interest will be increased by 300 basis points. We began accruing for this increased interest rate on July 31, 2008, which will be paid to holders for the first time with the coupon payable on October 31, 2008. The interest rate will return to the regularly applicable rate once the Company is in compliance with the debt service ratio and minimum tangible net worth requirements as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The terms of the trust securities are governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated November 23, 2005, among OHI Financing, Inc., ("OHI Financing") as depositor, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as property trustee, Chase Bank USA, National Association, as the Delaware trustee, and the administrative trustees named therein.

        The trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust's securities to purchase $77,320 in aggregate principal amount of unsecured junior subordinated notes due January 30, 2036 issued by OHI Financing, which includes $2,300 of inter-company issuances. The junior subordinated notes were issued pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated November 23, 2005, as amended by a Supplemental Indenture dated August 13, 2007, collectively referred to herein as the "Indenture," among OHI Financing, as issuer, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee. The terms of the junior subordinated notes are substantially the same as the terms of the trust's preferred securities. The interest payments on the junior subordinated notes paid by OHI Financing, Inc. will be used by the trust to pay the quarterly distributions to the holders of the trust's preferred and common securities. Pursuant to the parent guarantee agreement dated November 23, 2005 by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee, the Company has unconditionally guaranteed OHI Financing, Inc.'s payment and other obligations under the indenture and the junior subordinated notes. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities and the subsequent purchase of the junior subordinated notes to partially repay indebtedness.

        The Indenture permits OHI Financing to redeem the junior subordinated notes at par, plus accrued interest on or after January 30, 2011. If OHI Financing redeems any amount of the junior subordinated notes, the Trust Agreement requires the trust to redeem a like amount of the trust securities. Under certain circumstances relating to the tax treatment of the trust or the interest payments made on the junior subordinated notes or the classification of the trust as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, OHI Financing may also redeem the junior subordinated notes prior to January 30, 2011 at a 7.5% premium.

        With certain exceptions relating to debt to a trust, partnership or other entity affiliated with the Company that is a financing vehicle for the Company, the junior subordinated notes and the Company's obligations under the parent guarantee are expressly subordinate to all of the Company's existing and future debt unless it is provided in the instrument creating or evidencing such debt, or pursuant to which such debt is outstanding, that such debt is not superior in right to payment of the junior subordinated notes or the obligations under the parent company's guarantee, as the case may be.

        Under the Indenture, OHI Financing will generally have to make eight consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments (other than the eight consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments that could be made on each of the coupon payment dates from October 30, 2008 to and including July 30, 2010) to cause an event of default under the Indenture (or in some cases six consecutive coupon payments). More specifically, the Indenture provides that the earliest an event of default could occur as a result of the payment of the Adjusted Interest Rate is (i) upon the payment of the Adjusted Interest Rate coupon for October 30, 2010, if applicable, provided there have been eight prior consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupons paid by OHI Financing; (ii) on either the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, if at either date both the trailing

52



twelve months' interest coverage ratio is less than 1.25 to 1, and OHI Financing has made the six prior consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments; or (iii) on the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, if at such time both the trailing twelve months' interest coverage ratio is less than 1.75 to 1, and OHI Financing has made the eight prior consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments. The Adjusted Interest Rate must be paid for eight (or in some instances six) consecutive coupons in order to trigger an event of default. If the interest coverage ratio test and the minimum consolidated tangible net worth test, are both met, OHI Financing would make the payment of the Regular Interest Rate for the next coupon, and the Adjusted Interest Rate test "resets" requiring OHI Financing to make eight (or in some instances six) new consecutive coupon payments at the Adjusted Interest Rate before triggering an event of default. The interest coverage ratio and minimum consolidated tangible net worth measure are not traditional financial maintenance covenants; they are only utilized in determining if the Adjusted Interest Rate or the Regular Interest Rate is applicable.

        The junior subordinated notes and the trust securities could become immediately payable upon an event of default. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, subject to any applicable cure period, an event of default generally occurs upon:

    non-payment of any interest on the junior subordinated notes when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of the default for a period of 30 days;

    non-payment of the principal of, or any premium on, the junior subordinated notes at their maturity;

    default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty made by OHI Financing, Inc., in the indenture and the continuance of the default or breach for a period of 30 days after written notice to OHI Financing, Inc.;

    non-payment of any distribution on the trust's securities when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of the default for a period of 30 days;

    non-payment of the redemption price of any trust's security when it becomes due and payable;

    default in the performance, or breach, in any material respect of any covenant or warranty of any of the trustees in the Trust Agreement, which default or breach continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to the trustees and OHI Financing, Inc.;

    default in the performance, or breach (which default or breach must be material in certain cases), of any covenant or warranty made by OHI Financing, Inc. In the purchase agreement pursuant to which the trust securities and the junior subordinated notes were sold and purchased and the continuation of such default or breach for a period of 30 days after written notice to OHI Financing, Inc.;

    bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the property trustee, if a successor property trustee has not been appointed within 90 days thereafter;

    the bankruptcy or insolvency of OHI Financing, Inc.; or

    certain dissolutions or liquidations, or terminations of the business or existence, of the trust.

        Pursuant to the August 13, 2008 Supplemental Indenture, OHI Financing established a $5,000 reserve fund in September 2007 for the benefit of the holders of the trust preferred securities by posting a letter of credit with the trustee. If the adjusted interest rate is in effect for the four consecutive coupon payments ending July 30, 2009, this reserve fund must be increased by $2,500. Under certain events of default, this reserve fund may be drawn by the trustee and used in respect of the trust preferred obligations. The reserve fund may be released upon the earlier of compliance with the applicable interest coverage ratio resulting in OHI Financing paying interest at the regular interest

53



rate rather than the adjusted interest rate, or redemption or defeasance of the notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

        On September 20, 2005, the Company issued $30,000 of trust preferred securities which mature on September 30, 2035 and are callable, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued interest on or after September 30, 2010. For the first ten years, the securities have a fixed interest rate of 8.52% per annum. Thereafter, the securities have a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 380 basis points per annum, resetting quarterly. The securities are treated as debt obligations for financial statement purposes. The Company used proceeds from the sale of these securities to fund land purchases and residential construction. The obligations relating to the trust preferred securities are subordinated to the Revolving Credit Facility.

Employee Retirement Plan

        On December 1, 2005, the Company adopted an unfunded, non-qualified target defined benefit retirement plan, effective as of September 1, 2005, which covers a group of management employees of the Company. The Company owns life insurance policies on all participants in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). This SERP, which was amended on March 13, 2006, and September 27, 2007, is intended to provide the participants with an annual supplemental retirement benefit based upon their years of service with the Company and highest average compensation for five consecutive years. The annual supplemental benefit for each participant will be adjusted based on the actual performance of the SERP compared to the target. The benefit is payable for life with a minimum of ten years guaranteed. In order to qualify for normal retirement benefits, a participant must attain age 65 with at least five years of participation in the SERP. Early retirement will be permitted beginning at age 55, after five years of participation in the SERP. Early retirement benefits will be adjusted actuarially to reflect the early retirement date.

        If a participant terminates employment with the Company prior to attaining his or her normal retirement age, other than by reason of early retirement, death or disability, the participant generally will forfeit all benefits under the SERP.

        The Company can amend or terminate the SERP at any time. However, no amendment or termination will affect the participants' accrued benefits as determined in accordance with the SERP or delay any payments to a participant beyond the time that such amount would otherwise be payable without regard to the amendment.

Deferred Compensation Plan

        On December 1, 2005, the Company adopted an Executive Compensation Deferral Plan (the "Deferral Plan") effective as of June 1, 2005. Under the Plan, participants will have the ability to defer a portion of their compensation which will be credited to an account maintained by the Company for the participant. Amounts contributed by participants are always vested. Participant deferral accounts will be maintained by the Company for recordkeeping purposes only. Participants will have no interest in any assets which may be set aside by the Company to meet its obligations under the Deferral Plan.

Share Repurchase Program

        In September 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The repurchases, may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at the Company's discretion and in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Effective June 30, 2007 and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Fourth Amendment, the Company is no longer permitted to repurchase shares of common stock.

54


        The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Cash Flow Statement

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was $107,834, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 of $37,146. This increase was primarily attributable to approximately $54,788 of income tax refunds received during fiscal year 2008, an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities in fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a decrease in fiscal year 2007 and a larger decrease in real estate held for development and sale in the current fiscal year as compared to the previous fiscal year. The difference in accounts payable and other liabilities was primarily due to better management of payables. The change in real estate held for development and sale was primarily due to lower spending on new land. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the net loss. Net cash provided by investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was $11,628, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $339 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily related to the sale of our Western region from which we received proceeds of $11,300. Net cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was $67,112, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $41,512 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The change was primarily due to net payments of loans secured by real estate assets of $72,990 in fiscal year 2008 as compared to net borrowings of loans secured by real estate assets of $46,515 in fiscal year 2007.

Lot Positions

        As of June 30, 2008, the Company owned or controlled approximately 7,229 building lots. Included in the aforementioned lots, the Company had contracted to purchase, or has under option, undeveloped land and improved building lots for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $124,186 that are expected to yield approximately 1,847 building lots.

Undeveloped Land Acquisitions

        The process of acquiring desirable undeveloped land is extremely competitive, particularly in the northern region, mostly due to the lack of available parcels suitable for development. In addition, expansion of regulation in the housing industry has increased the time it takes to acquire undeveloped land with all of the necessary governmental approvals required to begin construction. Generally, the Company structures its land acquisitions so that it has the right to cancel its agreements to purchase undeveloped land by forfeiture of its deposit under the agreement. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company forfeited $2,094 of land deposits and expensed an additional $6,303 of pre-acquisition costs related to the write-off of purchase agreements with respect to undeveloped land. Included in the balance sheet captions "Inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities" and "Land deposits and costs of future development," at June 30, 2008 the Company had $9,118 invested in 11 parcels of undeveloped land, of which $3,586 is cash deposits, a portion of which is non-refundable. At June 30, 2008, overall undeveloped parcels of land under contract had an aggregate purchase price of approximately $54,254 and were expected to yield approximately 1,006 building lots.

        The Company attempts to further mitigate the risks involved in acquiring undeveloped land by structuring its undeveloped land acquisitions so that the deposits required under the agreements coincide with certain benchmarks in the governmental approval process, thereby limiting the amount at risk. This process allows the Company to periodically review the approval process and make a decision on the viability of developing the parcel to be acquired based upon expected profitability. In some circumstances the Company may be required to make deposits solely due to the passage of time. This structure still provides the Company an opportunity to periodically review the viability of developing the parcel of land. In addition, the Company primarily structures its agreements to purchase

55



undeveloped land to be contingent upon obtaining all governmental approvals necessary for construction. Under most agreements, the Company secures the responsibility for obtaining the required governmental approvals as the Company believes that it has significant expertise in this area. The Company intends to complete the acquisition of undeveloped land only after all governmental approvals are in place. In certain rare circumstances, however, when all extensions have been exhausted, the Company must make a decision on whether to proceed with the purchase even though all governmental approvals have not yet been received. In these circumstances, the Company performs reasonable due diligence to ascertain the likelihood that the necessary governmental approvals will be granted.

Improved Lot Acquisitions

        The process of acquiring improved building lots from developers is extremely competitive. The Company competes with many homebuilders to acquire improved building lots, some of which have greater financial resources than the Company. The acquisition of improved lots is usually less risky than the acquisition of undeveloped land as the contingencies and risks involved in the land development process are borne by the developer rather than the Company. In addition, governmental approvals are generally in place when the improved building lots are acquired.

        At June 30, 2008, the Company had contracted to purchase or had under option approximately 841 improved building lots for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $69,932. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $1,262 invested in these improved building lots, of which $1,260 is deposits. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company forfeited $363 of land deposits with respect to improved building lots.

        The Company expects to utilize primarily the Revolving Credit Facility as described above as well as other existing capital resources, to finance the acquisitions of undeveloped land and improved lots described above. The Company anticipates completing a majority of these acquisitions during the next several years.

Inflation

        We may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation because of higher land and construction costs. Inflation may also increase our financing, labor, and material costs. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can have a negative impact on housing demand. While we attempt to pass to our customers increases in our costs through increased sales prices, the current industry conditions have resulted in lower sales prices in many of our markets. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting our prospective homebuyers' ability to adequately finance home purchases, our revenues, gross margins, and net income would be adversely affected. In addition, deflation can impact the value of real estate and make it difficult for us to recover our land costs. Therefore, either inflation or deflation could adversely impact our future results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commitments

        Certain off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and commitments are disclosed in various sections of the Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and below. Some typical off-balance sheet arrangements affecting the Company and commonly affecting homebuilders in general, include:

    Cost sharing arrangements and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures—capital contribution requirements;

    Debt and debt service guarantees;

56



    Surety bonds and standby letters of credit;

    Executed contracts for construction and development activity; and

    Variable interest entities, which are not consolidated.

        Each of these items is described below or in "Critical Accounting Policies" following this section.

         Cost Sharing Arrangements and Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures—Capital Contribution Requirements.    The Company has developed and owned communities through joint ventures, accounted for using the equity method, with other parties in the past. However, at the present time joint venture activities do not constitute a material portion of the Company's operations. In addition, the Company has partnered with other homebuilders and developers, under cost sharing agreements, to acquire land and/or to develop or improve common off-site facilities, such as sewer treatment plants, that will benefit both parties. Most of these agreements are established as cost sharing agreements whereby the homebuilders and developers share in the cost of acquiring the parcel or improving the off-site facility. The Company currently does not have any material unfunded commitments or capital contribution requirements with respect to joint ventures or cost sharing arrangements.

         Debt and Debt Service Guarantees.    At June 30, 2008, the Company had mortgage and other note obligations, subordinated notes, and other notes payable on the balance sheet totaling $501,851. The Company currently does not have any off-balance sheet debt service guarantees.

         Surety Bonds and Standby Letters of Credit.    As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $88,878 in surety bonds and $26,021 in outstanding standby letters of credit in favor of local municipalities or financial institutions to guarantee the construction of real property improvements or financial obligations. The surety bonds guarantee the construction of public improvements and infrastructure such as sewer, streets, traffic signals, grading, and wildlife preservations in connection with the various communities the Company is developing. Surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from homebuilders and other real estate developers. The surety bonds and standby letters of credit are renewable and expire upon completion of the required improvements. Standby letters of credit are a form of credit enhancement that is commonly required in real estate development to secure the construction of public improvements. In the past three fiscal years, no surety bonds or standby letters of credit have been drawn on for use to satisfy the Company's obligations to perform under the agreements with the public agencies.

         Executed Contracts for Site Work and Construction Activity.    The Company has entered into site work and construction contracts with various suppliers and contractors. These contracts are for construction and development activity in the numerous communities the Company has under development, and are originated in the normal course of business. The site work contracts generally require specific performance by the contractor to prepare the land for construction and are written on a community-by-community basis. For larger communities, site work contracts are awarded in phases in order to limit any long-term commitment by the Company or its contractors. Generally, site work contracts are completed in less than one year. The Company acts as a general contractor and contracts with various subcontractors at specified prices for construction of the homes it sells. Subcontractors generally work on a piece meal basis and are not awarded contracts for a specified number of homes. These commitments are typically funded by the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and cash from operations.

Variable Interest Entities

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). The FASB issued a revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") in December 2003 which modifies and clarifies various aspects of the original

57



interpretations. A Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) equity holders either (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, pursuant to FIN 46-R, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses of the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

        Based on the provisions of FIN 46-R, the Company has concluded that whenever it enters into an option agreement to acquire land or lots from an entity and pays a significant deposit that is not unconditionally refundable, a VIE is created under condition (ii) (b) of the previous paragraph. The Company has been deemed to have provided subordinated financial support, which refers to variable interests that will absorb some or all of an entity's expected theoretical losses if they occur. For each VIE created, the Company will compute expected losses and residual returns based on the probability of future cash flows as outlined in FIN 46-R. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE it will consolidate the VIE on its balance sheet. The fair value of the VIEs inventory will be reported as "Inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities."

        At June 30, 2008, the Company consolidated three VIEs as a result of its options to purchase land or lots from the selling entities. The Company paid cash of $925 and issued letters of credit deposits of $125 to these VIEs and incurred additional pre-acquisition costs totaling $1,250. The Company's deposits and any costs incurred prior to acquisition of the land or lots represent the Company's maximum exposure to loss. The fair value of the VIEs inventory is reported as "Inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities." The Company recorded $13,050 in Inventory Not Owned—Variable Interest Entities as of June 30, 2008. The fair value of the property to be acquired less cash deposits and pre-acquisition costs, which totaled $10,875 at June 30, 2008, was reported on the balance sheet as "Obligations related to inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities." Creditors, if any, of these VIEs have no recourse against the Company.

        The Company will continue to secure land and lots using options. Excluding the deposits and other costs capitalized in connection with the VIEs discussed in the prior paragraph, the Company had total costs incurred to acquire land and lots at June 30, 2008 of approximately $10,380, including $4,846 of cash deposits. The total purchase price under these cancelable contracts or options is approximately $124,186. The maximum exposure to loss is limited to the deposits, although some deposits are refundable, and costs incurred prior to the acquisition of the land or lots.

Summary of Outstanding Obligations

        The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding obligations as of June 30, 2008 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods. For mortgage and other note obligations, payments due by period are shown based on the expiration date of the loan.

        The above table does not include certain obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, such as trade payables.

        The above table also does not include any amounts needed to acquire lots or land under option or cancelable purchase contracts because these arrangements are completed only at the Company's discretion, subject only to loss of option or deposit amounts and costs capitalized to date. Therefore, these option and cancelable purchase contracts do not represent binding enforceable purchase obligations. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had contracted to purchase, or had under option, undeveloped land and improved building lots for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $124,186 that are expected to yield approximately 1,847 lots.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of real estate assets, capitalization of costs, environmental liability exposure, miscellaneous litigation reserves, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made, we are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of certain events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in our business environment. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions which could have a material impact on the carrying value of recorded assets and liabilities and the results of operations.

        The Company believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant, subjective or complex judgments, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.    In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). The FASB issued a revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") in December 2003 which modifies and clarifies various aspects of

59



the original interpretations. Variable interest entities are entities controlled by another entity through means other than voting rights. FIN 46-R provides guidance on determining whether and how a business enterprise should consolidate a variable interest entity. FIN 46-R requires significant use of judgment and estimates in determining its application. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of FIN 46-R.

         Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets    We record income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted.

        SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, ("SFAS 109") requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on the SFAS 109 more-likely-than-not realization threshold criterion. In the assessment for a valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, excess of appreciated asset value over the tax basis of net assets, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we established a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the amount of $53,642. The valuation allowance was established due to the lack of objectively verifiable evidence regarding the realization of these assets in the foreseeable future. Our analysis of the need for a valuation allowance recognizes that we have incurred a cumulative loss and also considered the continued difficult current market conditions, as well as losses and impairment charges which led to the impairments of certain real estate held for development or sale.

        We believe that the accounting estimate for the valuation of deferred tax assets is a critical accounting estimate because judgment is required in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. We base our estimate of deferred tax assets and liabilities on current tax laws and rates and, in certain cases, business plans and other expectations about future outcomes. Changes in existing tax laws or rates could affect actual tax results and future business results, including further market deterioration, may affect the amount of deferred tax liabilities or the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. Changes that are not anticipated in our current estimates could have a material period-to-period impact on our financial position or results of operations.

         Estimates.    As more fully explained under the caption inventories and goodwill, when an impairment is indicated, impairment charges are recorded to reduce the Company's (i) real estate inventories to fair value and (ii) goodwill balances to its fair value. These impairment amounts consider estimated future cash flows which are dependent upon management's plans for future operations, recent operating results and projected cash flows, which include assumptions related to expected future demand and market conditions. The adequacy of the Company's impairment charges could be materially affected by changes in market conditions or expectations for changes in market conditions.

        Estimates of construction costs for homes closed are recorded in the period when the related home is closed. These estimates are based on detailed budgets for each home and community and

60



historical experience and trends. If actual costs differ from those estimated at the time of closing, adjustments to cost of sales could be recorded.

        Reserves for the estimated cost of homes under warranty are recorded in the period in which the related home is closed and are based on historical experience and trends. Should actual warranty experience change, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

        Estimates for the costs to complete land development are recorded upon completion of the related land development project. Estimates for land and land development costs are allocated to development phases based on the estimated relative sales value and then allocated to the total number of lots expected to be developed within each subdivision. Such cost estimates and are based on detailed budgets for the land development project and historical experience and trends. If actual costs or the total number of lots developed changes, changes in amounts allocated to future lots in that project would be adjusted to reflect such changes.

         Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales.    The Company primarily derives its total earned revenues from the sale of residential property. The Company recognizes residential revenue when title is conveyed to the homebuyer at the time of closing. From time to time, the Company also sells developed and undeveloped land in bulk and under option agreements. Revenues from sales of land and other real estate are recognized when the Company has received an adequate cash down payment and all other conditions necessary for profit recognition have been satisfied. During fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, all sales transactions met the criteria for and were accounted for utilizing the full accrual method. However, as more fully described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial statements, two land sales where the Company retained the option to repurchase finished lots was accounted for as a financing transaction.

        To the extent that certain sales or portions thereof do not meet all conditions necessary for profit recognition, the Company would use other methods to recognize profit, including the percentage-of-completion, cost recovery and the deposit methods. These methods of profit recognition defer a portion or all of the profit to the extent it is dependent upon the occurrence of future events.

        Costs incurred for homes closed include those which are specifically identified to the home such as construction costs and all applicable land acquisition, land development and related costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred) based on the allocated cost amount to the lot sold. Allocations of such costs to the lot sold generally, include a pro rata allocation determined based on the number of lots expected to be sold; where appropriate, costs may first be allocated based on a relative sales value method and then applied to the number of lots expected to be sold. Estimates of future costs to be incurred after the completion of each sale are included in cost of sales. A change in circumstances that causes these estimates of future costs to increase or decrease significantly would affect the gain or loss recognized on future sales.

        From time to time, the Company will sell and lease back its model homes. The Company accounts for sale-leaseback transactions in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 98, Accounting for Leases ("Statement No. 98").

         Inventories.    Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes, indirect project costs and interest related to development and construction. We review inventories for impairment during each reporting period on a community by community basis. Where there are multiple communities located within a parcel, the impairment is determined at the overall parcel level. SFAS No. 144 requires that if the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, impairment is indicated and an impairment charge should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value.

61


        In conducting our review for indicators of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, margins under sales contracts in backlog, projected margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community, and the fair value of the land itself.

        In determining the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets in a community that we have evaluated as requiring a test for impairment, significant quantitative and qualitative assumptions are made relative to the future home sales prices, sales incentives, direct and indirect costs (including interest expected to be capitalized) and home construction and land development and the pace of new home orders. In addition, these assumptions are dependent on the specific market conditions and competitive factors for the community being tested. Our estimates are made using information available at the date of the recoverability test. However, as facts and circumstances may change in future reporting periods, our estimates of recoverability are subject to change. When impairment is indicated, we estimate the fair value of our communities using a discounted cash flow model. The determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams.

        As of June 30, 2008, there were a number of parcels which were tested for impairment as a trigger was identified. Some of these parcels included those that had previously been impaired. In some cases, the undiscounted cash flow analysis prepared by management did not indicate an impairment, requiring the asset to be written down to its fair value. However, these cash flows are subject to significant estimates and assumptions made by management. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is indicated from the undiscounted cash flow analysis is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. These parcels could suffer impairment in the future, and such impairment amounts could be material to the Company's results of operations and financial position.

        As noted above, when impairment is indicated, we estimate the fair value of inventory under SFAS No. 144 based on current market conditions and current assumptions made by management, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions change. For example, further market deterioration may lead to us incurring additional impairment charges on previously impaired inventory, as well as on inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if further market deterioration occurs.

        In estimating the fair value of the property, the Company believes that a market participant would obtain financing at market rates. The financing considers cash flows to finance the original purchase price plus future expenditures and requires repayments upon sale of the constructed homes. Accordingly, the aforementioned net cash flows consider the related cash flows derived from such borrowings.

         Capitalization of Costs.    Costs capitalized include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes, indirect project costs and interest related to development and construction. We evaluate amounts recorded related to option deposits and preacquisition costs to determine whether there is an indicator for impairment. In the cases where we decide to abandon a project because it is no longer probable that the Company will continue with the project, costs previously capitalized are written off as such costs will not provide any future benefits. In addition, decreases in development activity may result in a portion of capitalized costs being expensed.

         Goodwill.    In accordance with SFAS No. 142, annually in the fourth quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company's goodwill may not be recoverable, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying amount of the related reporting unit to its estimated fair value. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows. These cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to current and future economic conditions, including absorption rates and margins reflective of slowing demand, as well as anticipated future demand. The amounts included in the discounted cash flow analysis are

62



based on management's best estimate of future results. Discount rates were based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for business risks. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. Additionally, future changes in any of these factors could result in future impairments of the remaining goodwill which could have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

         Income Taxes.    As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate income taxes. Estimates are based on interpretation of tax laws. The Company estimates actual current tax due and assesses temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of income taxes. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by Federal and State tax authorities, and changes in tax laws. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period; the adjustments would be included within the tax provision in the statement of operations and/or balance sheet. These adjustments could materially impact our financial position and results of operations and liquidity.

         Stock Based Compensation.    Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("SFAS 123"). The Company selected the prospective method of adoption as permitted by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." Effective July 1, 2005 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R "Share-Based Payment", revised ("SFAS 123-R") which eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure and discussion of stock-based compensation

        In December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS 123 through the issuance of SFAS No. 123-R "Share Based Payment", revised. SFAS 123-R was effective for the Company commencing July 1, 2005. SFAS 123-R, among other things, eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The fair value based method in SFAS 123-R is similar to the fair-value-based method in SFAS 123 in most respects, subject to certain key differences. As the Company previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 prospectively for all stock awards granted, commencing on July 1, 2002, the impact of the modified prospective adoption of SFAS 123-R did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. For stock options, the Company amortizes compensation expense on a graded basis over the vesting period of each option grant. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the value of each option granted which forms the basis for the compensation expense to be recorded associated with stock options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements:

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 will be effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, for which the effective date will be for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and has not yet determined what impact it would have on our consolidated financial statements.

63


        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides an entity with the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Under the fair value option, an entity will report unrealized gains and losses on those items at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company is the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. We are currently evaluating this standard and have not yet determined what impact, if any, the fair value option would have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent's ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"). SFAS 141(R) broadens the guidance of SFAS 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. SFAS 141(R) expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users' abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141(R) is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 ("SAB 110") to amend the SEC's views discussed in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 ("SAB 107") regarding the use of the simplified method in developing an estimate of expected life of share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). SAB 110 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 110 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. The Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In May, 2008, The FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section, 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We are evaluating the impact, if any; SFAS No. 162 will have on our financial statements. This statement will be adopted by us 60 days following the SEC's approval.

        In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities." Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing

64



earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company's outstanding restricted stock awards will be considered participating securities under the FSP. The FSP is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 and requires retrospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the FSP to have a material impact on its reported earnings per share.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company, due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and interest rates. The Company's principal market risk exposure continues to be interest rate risk. A majority of the Company's debt is variable based on LIBOR, and, therefore, affected by changes in market interest rates. Based on current operations, an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in cost of sales and interest charges incurred by the Company of approximately $3,960 in a fiscal year, a portion of which will be capitalized and included in cost of sales as homes are delivered. The Company believes that reasonably possible near-term interest rate changes will not result in a material negative effect on future earnings, fair values or cash flows of the Company.

        Our subordinated notes are fixed-rate debt and therefore changes in interest rates generally will affect the fair value of these debt instruments. As of June 30, 2008, our subordinated notes had a carrying value of $105,000 and an estimated fair value of approximately $75,000, based on fair value indications of the coupon rate of similar instruments in a similar market since there is no market quoted price for such instruments.

        Changes in the prices of commodities that are a significant component of home construction costs, particularly lumber, may result in unexpected short term increases in construction costs. Since the sales price of the Company's homes is fixed at the time the buyer enters into a contract to acquire a home and because the Company generally contracts to sell its homes before construction begins, any increase in costs in excess of those anticipated may result in gross margins lower than anticipated for the homes in the Company's backlog. The Company attempts to mitigate the market risks of price fluctuation of commodities by entering into fixed-price contracts with its subcontractors and material suppliers for a specified period of time, generally commensurate with the building cycle.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Orleans Homebuilders, Inc.:

        In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and total comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ORLEANS HOMEBUILDERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise noted)

Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "OHB") were engaged in residential real estate development in Southeastern Pennsylvania; central New Jersey; southern New Jersey; Orange County, New York; Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro, North Carolina; Richmond and Tidewater, Virginia; Orlando, Florida; and Chicago, Illinois. The Company is also in the mortgage processing and community management businesses.

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recognized additional impairment charges of $2,825 reflecting the impact of cumulative out of period adjustments. This error was related to impairments taken on the Company's residential properties and had the effect of increasing residential property expenses and reducing net income by $2,825. The Company concluded that this adjustment is not material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior period nor to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

        A summary of the significant accounting principles and practices used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Principles of consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2008 presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash consists of customer deposits on home sales held in restricted accounts until title transfers to the homebuyer, as required by the state and local governments in which the homes were sold. In addition, restricted cash includes amounts in transit from title companies for transactions closed at or near year-end.

Earned revenues from real estate transactions

        The Company recognizes revenues from sales of residential properties at the time of closing. The Company also sells developed and undeveloped land in bulk and under option agreements. Revenues from sales of land and other real estate are recognized when the Company has received an adequate cash down payment and all other conditions necessary for profit recognition have been satisfied. During the three years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, all sales transactions met the criteria for and were accounted for utilizing the full accrual method.

        To the extent that certain sales or portions thereof do not meet all conditions necessary for profit recognition, the Company uses other methods to recognize profit, including the percentage-of-completion,

72



cost recovery and the deposit methods. These methods of profit recognition defer a portion or all of the profit to the extent it is dependent upon the occurrence of future events.

        From time to time, the Company will sell and lease back its model homes. The Company accounts for sale-leaseback transactions in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 98, "Accounting for Leases" ("Statement No. 98"). If all other conditions for profit recognition are satisfied and (i) the leaseback is minor, profit will be recognized at the time of sale or (ii) if the leaseback is other than minor but the Company retains less than substantially all of the economic benefits, than profit will be recognized over the lease term, subject to certain limitations. If a loss is indicated by the terms of the transaction, then the loss will be recognized at the time of the sale leaseback.

Real estate capitalization and cost allocation

        Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to estimated fair value. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest on indebtedness, real estate taxes, insurance, construction overhead and indirect project costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

        Costs incurred for homes closed include those which are specifically identified to the home such as construction costs and all applicable land acquisition, land development and related costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred) based on the allocated cost amount to the lot sold. Allocations of such costs to the lot sold generally, include a pro rata allocation determined based on the number of lots expected to be sold; where appropriate, costs may first be allocated based on a relative sales value method and then applied to the number of lots expected to be sold. Estimates of future costs to be incurred after the completion of each sale are included in cost of sales. A change in circumstances that causes these estimates of future costs to increase or decrease significantly would affect the gain or loss recognized on future sales.

        Land and land improvements applicable to condominiums, townhomes and single-family homes, are transferred to construction in progress when construction commences.

        Interest costs included in costs and expenses of residential properties and land sold in continuing operations for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $30,050, $18,311, and $15,160, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible assets

        Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), which establishes standards for financial accounting and reporting for intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets and for the reporting of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business acquisition subsequent to initial accounting under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization relating to all existing indefinite lived intangible assets.

        Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will be amortized over their useful lives. Currently, the Company has no intangible assets that have finite useful lives. In accordance with SFAS 142, annually in the fourth quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company's goodwill may not be recoverable, management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying amount of the related reporting unit to its estimated fair value.

Variable Interest Entities:

        The Company has a number of land purchase contracts, sometimes referred to herein as "land purchase agreements," "purchase agreements," "options" or "option agreements," and several

73



investments in unconsolidated entities which it evaluates in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51," as amended by FIN 46R ("FIN 46R"). Pursuant to FIN 46R, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of a variable interest entity ("VIE") is considered to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. A VIE is an entity with insufficient equity investment or in which the equity investors lack some of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. For land purchase contracts with sellers meeting the definition of a VIE, the Company performs a review to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This review requires substantial judgment and estimation. These judgments and estimates involve assigning probabilities to various estimated cash flow possibilities relative to the entity's expected profits and losses and the cash flows associated with changes in the fair value of the land under contract.

Advertising costs

        The total amount of advertising costs charged to selling, general and administrative expense was $9,657, $11,439 and $10,797 for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The Company's advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. At the time property and equipment are disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings. The estimated useful life for the Company's property and equipment generally ranges from three years to seven years. The estimated useful life for leasehold improvements is generally five years or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Depreciation, amortization and maintenance expense

        Depreciation and amortization is primarily provided on the straight-line method at rates calculated to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and any profit or loss is recognized.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes and interest related to development and construction. The Company reviews inventories for impairment during each reporting period on a community by community basis. Where there are multiple communities located within a parcel, the impairment is determined at the overall parcel level. SFAS No. 144 requires that if the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, impairment is indicated and an impairment charge should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value.

        In conducting the review for indicators of impairment on a community level, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, margins under sales contracts in backlog, projected margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land itself.

        In determining the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets in a community that the Company has evaluated as requiring a test for impairment, significant quantitative and qualitative

74



assumptions are made relative to the future home sales prices, sales incentives, direct and indirect costs (including interest expected to be capitalized) and home construction and land development and the pace of new home orders. In addition, these assumptions are dependent on the specific market conditions and competitive factors for the community being tested. The Company's estimates are made using information available at the date of the recoverability test. However, as facts and circumstances may change in future reporting periods, the estimates of recoverability are subject to change. When impairment is indicated, the Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. The determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams.

        As noted above, when impairment is indicated, the Company estimates the fair value of inventory under SFAS 144 based on current market conditions and current assumptions made by management, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions change. For example, further market deterioration may lead to additional impairment charges on previously impaired inventory, as well as on inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if further market deterioration occurs.

        As of June 30, 2008, there were a number of parcels which were tested for impairment as a trigger was identified. Some of these parcels included those that had previously been impaired. In some cases, the undiscounted cash flow analysis prepared by management did not indicate an impairment, requiring the asset to be written down to its fair value. However, these cash flows are subject to significant estimates and assumptions made by management. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is indicated from the undiscounted cash flow analysis is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. These parcels could suffer impairment in the future, and such impairment amounts could be material to the Company's results of operations and financial position.

        In estimating the fair value of the property, the Company believes that a market participant would obtain financing at market rates. The financing considers cash flows to finance the original purchase price plus future expenditures and requires repayments upon sale of the constructed homes. Accordingly, the aforementioned net cash flows consider the related cash flows derived from such borrowings.

Stock-Based Compensation

        Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment". SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. SFAS 123(R), among other things, eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). The fair value based method in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the fair-value-based method in SFAS No. 123 in most respects, subject to certain key differences. As the Company previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 prospectively for all stock awards granted, commencing on July 1, 2002 as provided under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure", the impact of the modified prospective adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. See Note 10 for additional disclosure and discussion of stock-based compensation.

Product Warranty

        Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be

75



incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The Company regularly monitors its warranty reserve and makes adjustments in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Warranty reserves are included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.

Income taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", ("SFAS 109"). The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted. SFAS 109 requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed periodically by the Company based on the SFAS 109 more-likely-than-not realization threshold criterion. In the assessment for a valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, excess of appreciated asset value over the tax basis of net assets, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives. In making such assessments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

        At June 30, 2007, the Company's net deferred tax asset was $23,480. Due to the continuing challenging market conditions in the homebuilding industry, in the period ending March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a $43,544 valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, representing those deferred tax asset amounts for which ultimate realization is dependant upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company updated its assessment and recorded an additional $10,098 valuation allowance for deferred tax assets primarily created during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The total valuation allowance at June 30, 2008 was $53,642. The valuation allowance was established due to the lack of evidence regarding the realization of these assets in the foreseeable future.

        In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48. FIN 48 prescribes a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this interpretation is a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in: (a) an increase in a liability for income taxes payable or a reduction of an income tax refund receivable, (b) a reduction in a deferred tax asset or an increase in a deferred tax liability or (c) both (a) and (b). Tax positions that previously failed to

76



meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. Use of a valuation allowance as described in SFAS 109 is not an appropriate substitute for the de-recognition of a tax position. The requirement to assess the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on sufficiency of future taxable income is unchanged by this interpretation.

        As of July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying its provisions by reducing its July 1, 2007 retained earnings opening balance by $715 with a corresponding increase to the appropriate tax liability accounts. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of July 1, 2007 after the FIN 48 adjustment was $2,535. This amount relates to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate of the Company. The Company's unrecognized tax liability results primarily from the varying application of statutes, regulations and interpretations including recent state tax cases regarding similar issues.

Earnings per share

        Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. See Note 11 for additional disclosure and discussion of earnings per share.

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

        SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires the Company to disclose the estimated fair market value of its financial instruments. The Company believes that the carrying value of its financial instruments (primarily mortgage notes payable) approximates fair market value with the exception of its subordinated notes. See note 15 for additional disclosure of fair value.

Segment reporting

        SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" establishes standards for the manner in which public enterprises report segment information about operating segments. The Company has determined that its operations primarily involve four reportable homebuilding segments operating in 11 markets. See Note 14 for additional disclosure and discussion of segment reporting.

Management's estimates and assumptions

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

New Accounting Pronouncements:

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 will be effective in fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, for which the effective date will be fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and has not yet determined what impact it would have on its consolidated financial statements.

77


        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 provides an entity with the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Under the fair value option, an entity will report unrealized gains and losses on those items at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company is the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and has not yet determined what impact, if any, the fair value option would have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent's ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141(R) broadens the guidance of SFAS 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. SFAS 141(R) expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users' abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 ("SAB 110") to amend the SEC's views discussed in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 ("SAB 107") regarding the use of the simplified method in developing an estimate of expected life of share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). SAB 110 is effective for beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. The Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In May, 2008, The FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section, 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any; SFAS No. 162 will have on its financial statements. This statement will be adopted by the Company 60 days following the SEC's approval.

        In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities." Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing

78



earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company's outstanding restricted stock awards will be considered participating securities under the FSP. The FSP is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 and requires retrospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the FSP to have a material impact on its reported earnings per share.

Note 2.    Discontinued Operations

        On December 31, 2007, the Company committed to exiting its Arizona market and, in connection with this decision, on that date, disposed of its entire land position and its related work-in-process homes in Arizona, which constituted substantially all of its assets in Arizona. The Company has historically reported this business as the western region operating segment. The disposed work-in-process inventory and land assets constituted substantially all of the Company's assets in the western region. As such, all charges associated with the western region are included as a discontinued operation.

        As the western region represented a component of the Company's business, the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all periods presented to present this business as discontinued operations. Prior to the sale, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, an impairment charge of $20,706 was recognized to reduce the carrying value of the land and work-in-process sold to its fair value less costs to sell. Costs and expenses directly associated with this business have been reclassified as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations. Corporate expenses such as general corporate overhead have not been allocated to discontinued operations. Interest in cost of sales was $4,140 in fiscal year 2008. Interest incurred and capitalized during fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $995, $2,168 and $934, respectively.

        Summarized financial information for the western region is set forth below:

 
  For the year ended June 30,  
 
  2008   2007   2006  

Operating loss

  $ (21,741 ) $ (15,655 ) $ (493 )

Tax benefit

        (6,222 )   (172 )
               

Net loss from discontinued operations

  $ (21,741 ) $ (9,433 ) $ (321 )
               

        As further discussed in Note 9, the Company allocates its total tax provision between continuing and discontinued operations. No tax provision for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 has been allocated to discontinued operations.

        Discontinued operations have not been segregated in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Therefore, amounts for certain captions will not agree with respective data in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 3.    Certain Transactions with Related Parties

        During fiscal year 2003 the Company entered into two separate ten year leases for the rental of office space with a company that is controlled by Mr. Orleans. The Company took possession of the leased premises in May 2004 at which time the lease term began. The annual rental for the leased office space is $112 and escalates to $128 after the fifth year of the lease. The Company is also responsible to pay its pro rata share of common area maintenance costs.

79


        The Company places some of its corporate insurance through A.P. Orleans Insurance Agency, Inc., of which Mr. Orleans is the sole stockholder. The Company also uses A.P. Orleans Insurance Agency, Inc. to purchase surety bonds that the Company is required to maintain with various municipalities as part of its ongoing operations as a developer on specific projects in those municipalities. The Company paid premiums and fees associated with insurance policies and surety bonds provided by the entity controlled by Mr. Orleans of $1,622, $2,013, and $2,109 during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

        The Company leases office space and obtains real estate title insurance for various parcels of land acquired by the Company from companies controlled by Mr. Russell Parker, the former president of the Company's subsidiary, PLC. The annual rental for the office space leased from an entity partially owned by Mr. Parker was $147, $129 and $129 for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The rental expense is considered to approximate a fair market value rental. The Company paid real estate title insurance premiums to an entity formerly controlled by Mr. Parker, of approximately $20, and $173 for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. No premiums were paid to this real estate title insurance company in fiscal year 2008. This real estate title insurance company has had no operations since September 2006.

        Real estate title insurance paid by the Company is capitalized as a cost of acquiring the specific parcel in accordance with the Company's real estate capitalization and cost allocation policies and is subsequently expensed as part of cost of sales upon consummation of sales to the third party homebuyers. See Note 1 for a discussion of these policies.

        In November 2006, the Company entered into an agreement of sale to purchase 23 townhouse lots from Mr. Parker. The purchase price is calculated at 20% of the net sales price, less lot improvement costs, and is payable on a per lot basis at the time of conveyance of a completed home on the improved lot to a third party purchaser. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company closed on five of these lots. At the time of the closings, the Company paid Mr. Parker a total of $125.

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company discovered that it had overcharged Mr. Orleans for his personal use of the Company plane during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005. The overcharge occurred due to the Company charging Mr. Orleans based on the full absorption method rather than based on incremental costs. At June 30, 2008, the Company accrued $1,046 for this overcharge. This amount was paid to Mr. Orleans subsequent to year end.

Note 4.    Goodwill

        As of June 30, 2008, the Company performed an impairment evaluation related to the goodwill that arose from the PLC acquisition made in the southern region. This goodwill represents the remaining goodwill reflected in the Company's balance sheet after impairments taken in 2007.

80


        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company performed impairment evaluations related to the goodwill that arose from the Realen Homes, PLC and Masterpiece Homes acquisitions.

        The assessments were performed in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Management evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting units to their fair value. Fair value was determined based on the discounted future cash flows. These cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates related to current and future economic conditions, including absorption rates and margins reflective of slowing demand, as well as anticipated future demand. The amounts included in the discounted cash flow analysis are based on management's best estimate of future results. Discount rates were based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital adjusted for business risks. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates. Additionally, future changes in any of these factors could result in future impairments of the remaining goodwill.

        As a result of the assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge to reduce goodwill of $16,334 during fiscal year 2007, consisting of $13,327 and $3,007 related to the Realen Homes and Masterpiece Homes acquisitions, respectively. Below is a rollforward of goodwill by region for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007:

 
  North   South   Midwest   Florida   Total  

Balance at June 30, 2006

  $ 7,918   $ 4,180   $ 5,409   $ 3,007   $ 20,514  

Fiscal year 2007 goodwill impairment

    (7,918 )       (5,409 )   (3,007 )   (16,334 )
                       

Balance at June 30, 2007

  $   $ 4,180   $   $   $ 4,180  
                       

        There were no changes to goodwill during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Total real estate held for development and sale

  $ 578,033   $ 787,232  
           

Variable Interest Entities

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). The FASB issued a revised FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R) in December 2003 which modifies and clarifies various aspects of the original interpretations. A Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) equity holders either (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (b) are protected from absorbing expected losses of the entity or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, pursuant to FIN 46-R, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses of the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

        Based on the provisions of FIN 46-R, the Company has concluded that whenever it enters into an option agreement to acquire land or lots from an entity and pays a significant deposit that is not

81



unconditionally refundable, a VIE is created under condition (ii) (b) of the previous paragraph. The Company has been deemed to have provided subordinated financial support, which refers to variable interests that will absorb some or all of an entity's expected theoretical losses if they occur. For each VIE created, the Company will perform an analysis of the expected losses and residual returns based on the probability of future cash flows based on the expected variability as outlined in FIN 46-R. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE it will consolidate the VIE on its balance sheet. The fair value of the VIEs inventory, generally believed to be the purchase price of the land under option, will be reported as "Inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities."

        At June 30, 2008, the Company consolidated three VIEs as a result of its options to purchase land or lots from the selling entities. The Company paid cash of $925 and issued letters of credit of $125 to these VIEs and incurred additional pre-acquisition costs totaling $1,250. The Company's deposits and any costs incurred prior to acquisition of the land or lots represent the Company's maximum exposure to loss. The fair value of the VIEs inventory, determined as of the date of consolidation, is reported as "Inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities." The Company recorded $13,050 in Inventory Not Owned—Variable Interest Entities as of June 30, 2008. The fair value of the property to be acquired less cash deposits and pre-acquisition costs, which totaled $10,875 at June 30, 2008, was reported on the balance sheet as "Obligations related to inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities." Creditors, if any, of these VIEs have no recourse against the Company.

        At June 30, 2007, the Company consolidated ten VIEs as a result of its options to purchase land or lots from the selling entities. The Company paid cash or issued letters of credit deposits to these VIEs totaling $5,264 and incurred additional pre-acquisition costs totaling $3,088. The Company's deposits and any costs incurred prior to acquisition of the land or lots represent the Company's maximum exposure to loss. The fair value of the VIEs inventory, determined as of the date of consolidation, is reported as "Inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities." The Company recorded $47,214 in Inventory Not Owned—Variable Interest Entities as of June 30, 2007. The fair value of the property to be acquired less cash deposits and pre-acquisition costs, which totaled $38,914 at June 30, 2007, was reported on the balance sheet as "Obligations related to inventory not owned—Variable Interest Entities."

        The Company will continue to secure land and lots using options. Excluding the deposits and other costs capitalized in connection with the VIEs discussed in the prior paragraph, the Company had total costs incurred to acquire land and lots at June 30, 2008 of approximately $10,380, including $4,846 of cash deposits.

        The total purchase price under cancelable contracts or options is approximately $124,186. The maximum exposure to loss is limited to the deposits, although some deposits are refundable, and costs incurred prior to the acquisition of the land or lots.

Other Financial Interests

        Sold land that is subject to an option agreement is accounted for using the finance method of accounting. The option provides the Company with the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase individual lots on a periodic lot takedown schedule. Details of the financing method of accounting are described below:

    The costs associated with the land parcel at the time it is sold are reported in 'Inventory not owned—Other Financial Interests' on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

    The cash received from the buyer is reported as a liability within 'Obligations related to inventory not owned—Other Financial Interests' on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The liability is accreted at an interest rate consistent with the Company's effective borrowing rate over the life of the option. The Company will report interest incurred in connection with the accretion of the liability. Interest incurred will be subject to capitalization into Inventory not owned—other financial interests.

82


    The lot purchase price under the option includes both the amount to repurchase the land sold at its original cost to the buyer plus interest, as well as improvements made by the buyer subsequent to his purchase and prior to the Company's repurchase. Upon exercise of the option, the amount of the lot purchase price attributable to the original cost to the buyer plus interest will be applied to the accreted liability. The amount of the lot purchase price in excess of the accreted liability represents reimbursement to the buyer for lot improvement costs and will be capitalized within land held for development or sale and improvements. The cost of the lot within land held for development or sale and improvements will be expensed through cost of residential properties and land sold in accordance with the Company's policy.

    Upon termination or expiration of the option, the Company will recognize land sales revenue and cost of land sales.

Sold and Unsold Residential Properties

        Sales status of residential properties completed or under construction is as follows:

 
  As of June 30,  
 
  2008   2007  

Under contract for sale

  $ 109,980   $ 126,856  

Unsold

    83,277     101,290  
           

Total residential property completed or under construction

  $ 193,257   $ 228,146  
           

Impairments

        As more fully discussed in note 1, the Company accounts for its real estate held for development and sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of real estate held for development and sale is measured by comparing the carrying value to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The impairment loss is the difference between the book value of the assets and the estimated fair value determined on a discounted cash flow basis. Estimated cash flows are discounted at a rate commensurate with the inherent risk of the assets and cash flows, which approximates fair value. The estimates used in the determination of the estimated cash flows and fair value of the asset are based on factors known to the Company at the time such estimates are made and the Company's expectations of future operations. These estimates of cash flows are significantly impacted by estimates of the amounts and timing of revenues and costs and other factors, which, in turn, are impacted by local market economic conditions and the actions of competitors. Should the estimates or expectations used in determining estimated cash flows or fair value decrease or differ from current estimates in the future, the Company may be required to recognize additional impairments related to these assets or other assets.

        As of June 30, 2008, there were a number of parcels which were tested for impairment as a trigger was identified. Some of these parcels included those that had previously been impaired. In some cases, the undiscounted cash flow analysis prepared by management did not indicate an impairment, requiring the asset to be written down to its fair value. However, these cash flows are subject to significant estimates and assumptions made by management. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is indicated from the undiscounted cash flow analysis is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. These parcels could suffer impairment in the future, and such impairment amounts could be material to the Company's results of operations and financial position.

        When impairment is indicated, the Company estimates the fair value of inventory under SFAS No. 144 based on current market conditions and current assumptions made by management, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions change. For example, further market

83


deterioration may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges on previously impaired inventory, as well as on inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if further market deterioration occurs.

        In estimating the fair value of the property, the Company believes that a market participant would obtain financing at market rates. The financing considers cash flows to finance the original purchase price plus future expenditures and requires repayments upon sale of the constructed homes. Accordingly, the aforementioned net cash flows consider the related cash flows derived from such borrowings.

        The following table represents inventory impairments by region included in continuing operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

        The Company also incurred impairments of $13,733 related to its discontinued operation in fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company received proceeds on the sale of land of $36,157. Of the $36,157 received, $11,432 was recognized as land sales revenue; $11,300 related to proceeds in the Company's western region and was included in discontinued operations; and $13,425 related to two parcels of land that were sold and subsequently subject to an option agreement and are accounted for as financing transactions.

        Prior to the closing of certain of the land sales that took place during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded asset impairments on the land to be sold as follows:

 
  Year Ended

The average month end balances of those obligations during fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $556,298, $592,534 and $523,612, respectively, bearing interest at an approximate average annual rate of 7.46%, 7.74% and 6.85%, respectively.

        As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $395,950 outstanding and $160,363 of borrowing capacity under its secured revolving credit facility discussed below. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had borrowings in excess of availability of $20,411. On July 11, 2008, the Company made a payment of $13,000, which reduced its borrowings in excess of capacity to $7,411. In addition, approximately $28,687 of letters of credit and other assurances of the availability of funds have been provided under the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below. A majority of the Company's debt is variable rate, primarily based on 30-day LIBOR, and therefore, the Company is exposed to market risk in connection with interest rate changes. At June 30, 2008, the 30-day LIBOR rate of interest was 2.4625%.

Revolving Credit Facility

        On December 22, 2004, Greenwood Financial, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers, and Orleans Homebuilders, Inc., as guarantor, entered into a Revolving Credit Loan Agreement for a Senior Secured Revolving Credit and Letter of Credit Facility with various banks as lenders (as amended and restated and further amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Loan Agreement was amended on January 24, 2006, via the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement increased the borrowing limit from $500,000 to $650,000. A subsequent amendment reduced the borrowing limit to $585,000. In connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. executed a Guaranty, which was amended on September 6, 2007,and amended and restated on September 30, 2008. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended on November 1, 2006 (the "First Amendment"), February 7, 2007 (the "Second Amendment"), May 8, 2007 (the "Third Amendment"), September 6, 2007 (the "Fourth Amendment"), December 21, 2007 (the "Fifth Amendment"), a limited waiver (the "waiver letter") to the Amended Credit Agreement, which was extended on September 15, 2008, and amended and restated in the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement, dated September 30, 2008 (the "Second Amended Credit Agreement").

85


        Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, and subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, approximately $447,300 of the $585,000 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 20, 2009 and the remaining $137,700 had a maturity date of December 20, 2008. Borrowings and advances under the Revolving Credit Facility accrued interest on a per annum basis equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus a non-default variable spread ranging from 165 basis points to 275 basis points, depending upon the Company's leverage ratio. During the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, interest is payable monthly in arrears. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate was 7.820%, which included a 250.0 basis point spread.

Waiver

        Absent the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $43,500 during the March 31, 2008 fiscal quarter, the Company would have been in compliance with all of the financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement at March 31, 2008. However, as a result of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, absent the waiver letter dated May 9, 2008, as extended on September 15, 2008, the Company would have been in default of the minimum consolidated tangible net worth, maximum leverage ratio, and maximum land to consolidated adjusted tangible net worth ratio covenants set fort in the Amended Credit Agreement at March 31, 2008 (the "Subject Covenants"). Subject to certain limitations, the waiver letter temporarily waived compliance with the Subject Covenants generally from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 (the "Waiver Period"), unless another event of default occurs or the Company fails to comply with the covenants in the waiver letter.

        In the waiver letter, the Company also agreed that it will act in good faith and use its best efforts to work with the agent lender during the Wavier Period to identify a material group of assets in its borrowing base for reappraisal prior to September 15, 2008, which have been completed and account for approximately 35% of the Company's collateral assets.

Second Amended Credit Agreement:

        On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into the Second Amended Credit Agreement which provides, among other things, that:

    The maturity date is December 20, 2009 for all lenders.

    The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $440,000, except that the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility will be $425,000 through December 31, 2008, and $415,000 from July 1, 2009 through December 20, 2009, unless otherwise permanently reduced as a result of certain required prepayments. The amount actually available under the Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to the borrowing base availability requirements in the Revolving Credit Facility.

    The letter of credit sublimit is reduced to $60,000.

    The swing line limit is reduced to $10,000.

    The unused fee is increased to 0.35%.

    The interest rate is changed to the LIBOR interest rate plus 5.0%.

    A fee will be earned and payable on September 15, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the aggregate level of the lenders' lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as they exist from time to time between September 30, 2008 and the earlier of September 15, 2009 and the date the commitments are permanently reduced to $250,000; however this fee will be reduced by 80% if the aggregate level of commitments on or before September 15, 2009 have been permanently reduced to $250,000.

    If the Company's indebtedness is not paid in full by December 20, 2009, a separate fee will be earned and payable on December 20, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis,

86


      of the difference between $250,000 and the average daily outstanding cash borrowing as they exist from time to time after September 15, 2009.

    The letter of credit fees were changed to be the applicable spread, with the issuer retaining an issuance fee of 0.125%.

    The borrowing base calculation was amended to increase the maximum percentages for certain asset classes.

    Both of the leverage covenants, the debt service coverage ratio covenant and the units in inventory covenant were eliminated.

    The minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant was lowered to be not less than $75,000, (1) reduced by the sum of (a) inventory impairments under GAAP on assets in the borrowing base taken by the Company and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (b) the amount of any interest incurred less the amount of interest capitalized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 ("SFAS 34"), and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (c) any additional deferred tax asset valuation reserves recorded after March 31, 2008 (provided that clauses (a) and (c) are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $30,000), plus (d) any impairments or write-offs relating to tangible assets or pre-acquisition costs not contained in the borrowing base recorded after March 31, 2008, and (2) increased by the sum of (x) any favorable adjustment recorded after March 31, 2008, to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance as reported in the Company's third quarter fiscal 2008 financials, plus (y) 50% of positive quarterly net income after March 31, 2008 plus (z) 50% of any net securities proceeds received by the Company and the borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility after March 31, 2008. However, in no event may the consolidated tangible net worth, after taking into account the reductions and increases above, at any time be less than $35,000.

    The minimum liquidity level is reduced to $15,000.

    The minimum cash flow from operations ratio is reduced and the related definition of debt service was amended to exclude any amortized deferred financing costs related to all amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Second Amended Credit Agreement and/or the trust preferred securities and any future amendments to any of the foregoing.

    A $5,000 limit was put on the Company's cash available for joint ventures, however, the Company may invest 50% of any net securities proceeds raised by the Company after March 31, 2008 in joint ventures that are non-recourse to the Company and may maintain current investments in cost-sharing arrangements or partnerships already in existence.

    The maximum amount of cash or cash equivalents (excluding cash at title companies) the Company is allowed to maintain was set at a maximum of $32,500 for any consecutive five-day period.

    The borrowers may purchase (a) up to $8,000 of real estate (whether purchase money or otherwise) in the normal course of business, consistent with projections provided to the lenders and (b) improved land (i.e., finished lot takedowns and/or controlled rolling lot options) purchased by the borrowers in the normal course of business, consistent with the projections provided to the Lenders.

87


        The Company also agreed that no dividends or distributions will be paid, no subordinated debt will be repaid, except for interest payable on such debt, and limitations were placed on purchases of additional land, including the method for financing such land.

        The lenders have agreed to allow the Company to pursue second lien indebtedness in certain limited circumstances. Any second lien indebtedness is subject to the approval of the lenders and the proceeds of any second lien indebtedness must be used to prepay amounts advanced under the facility and the amount of the facility will be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayment. The Company and the lenders have agreed that re-appraisals will be done on the Company's collateral assets. Approximately 35% of those assets have already been reappraised. Under this amended and restated credit agreement, the Company has permitted lenders to conduct future appraisals on a fair market value basis on all projects with a GAAP cost of at least $4,000 to be phased in generally over the next three fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2009, but excluding the projects already recently appraised. The result of these appraisals is subject to numerous factors, and accordingly no assurance can be given on the result of either the recent or future bank appraisals or the corresponding liquidity impact to the Company.

        Additional covenants were added to the facility, including requirements that the Company and borrowers grant a mortgage on any real property not already included in the borrowing base and subject to the Revolving Credit Facility; that all real property sales must be accomplished through a title company, with the net proceeds of such a sale going directly to the Agent for application to the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility; that any purchases of real estate must be done through a title company through advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and all such acquisitions must be subject to mortgages in favor of the lenders; and at the time of any such advance, the Company will be required to provide an estimate of the portion of the borrowing that will be used for construction needs and asset purchases with respect to an applicable project.

Terms of the Revolving Credit Facility:

        The borrowing limit under the Revolving Credit Facility is $440,000, except that the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility will be $425,000 through December 31, 2008, and $415,000 from July 1, 2009 through December 20, 2009, unless otherwise permanently reduced as a result of certain required prepayments. The total amount of loans and advances outstanding at any time under the Revolving Credit Facility may not exceed the lesser of the then-current borrowing base availability or the revolving sublimit as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowing base availability is based on the lesser of the appraised value or cost of real estate owned by the Company that has been admitted to the borrowing base and is subject to various limitations and qualifications set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

        Borrowings and advances under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on a per annum basis equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 500 basis points beginning October 1, 2008. Prior to October 1, 2008, the applicable spread had been 400 basis points. During the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, interest is payable monthly in arrears. At June 30, 2008, the interest rate was 6.4625%, which included a 400 basis point spread.

        A fee will be earned and payable on September 15, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the aggregate level of the lenders' lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as they exist from time to time between September 30, 2008 and the earlier of September 15, 2009 and the date the commitments are permanently reduced to $250,000; however this fee will be reduced by 80% if the aggregate level of commitments on or before September 15, 2009 have been permanently reduced to $250,000. Under this provision, the Company currently estimates that the minimum it will be required to pay is $0 and the maximum is $9,150. The Company expects that it will pay no amounts under this provision as it intends

88



to refinance the debt before the payment is due and payable. There can be no assurance that such refinancing will occur. In addition, if all indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility is not fully repaid by December 30, 2009, a separate fee will be earned and payable on December 20, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum of the amount by which the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility that exist from time to time after September 15, 2009 exceed $250,000, calculated on a daily basis.

        In addition to any interest that may be payable with respect to amounts advanced by the lenders pursuant to a letter of credit, the Company will be required to pay to the lender(s) issuing letters of credit an issuance fee of 0.125% of the amount of the letters of credit.

        Under and subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the borrowers may borrow and re-borrow for the purpose of financing the acquisition and development of real estate, the construction of homes and improvements, for investment in joint ventures, for working capital and for such other appropriate corporate purposes as may be approved by the lenders.

        Approximately 35% of the Company's collateral assets have been reappraised pursuant to the terms of the waiver letter and the Company and approximately one third of the assets in the borrowing base with a book value in excess of $4,000 that have not yet been appraised, will be appraised in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009. The re-appraisals that have been done to date have not had a material impact on the Company's borrowing base availability, but there can be no assurance that future reappraisals will not reduce borrowing base availability.

        Various conditions must be satisfied in order for real estate to be admitted to the borrowing base, including that a mortgage in favor of lenders has been delivered to the agent for lenders and that all governmental approvals necessary to begin development of for-sale residential housing, other than building permits and certain other permits borrower in good faith believes will be issued within 120 days, have been obtained. Depending on the stage of development of the real estate, the loan to value or loan to cost advance rate in the borrowing base ranges from 50% to 95% of the appraised value or cost of the real estate. Based on these ranges, the Company is restricted as to the type of land it can have in various stages of development as well as the dollar value, of borrowing base availability of land under development.

        As security for all obligations of borrowers to lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, lenders continue to have a first priority mortgage lien on all real estate owned by the Company or any borrower and included in the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility. As further security, pursuant to the Second Amended Credit Facility, the Company has also agreed to grant to the lenders a security interest in and assignment of all future tax refunds and proceeds thereof received or payable to the borrowers or the Company after the closing of the Second Amended Credit Agreement, mortgages in favor of lenders with respect to all real property owned by the borrowers or the Company that is not already subject to a lien in favor of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and a security interest in inter-company debt. Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. has guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers to lenders pursuant to a Guaranty executed by Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. on January 26, 2006, amended on September 6, 2007 and amended and restated on September 30, 2008.

        Under the Guaranty, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. granted lenders a security interest in any balance or assets in any deposit or other account that Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. has with any lender. However, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain the significant majority of the cash available to them in accounts and as treasury securities outside of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility.

        The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit or eliminate the ability of the Company to (among other things):

    Incur or assume other indebtedness, except certain permitted indebtedness and possible second lien indebtedness if appropriately approved;

89


    Grant or permit to exist any lien, except certain permitted liens;

    Enter into any merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of another entity;

    Sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets;

    Enter into any transaction with an affiliate that is not a borrower or a guarantor under the Revolving Credit Facility, or a subsidiary of either;

    Pay any dividends;

    Redeem any stock or subordinated debt; and

    Invest in joint ventures or other entities that are not obligors under the Revolving Credit Facility.

        In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, all real property sales must be accomplished through a title company, with the net proceeds of such a sale going directly to the Agent for application to the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any purchases of real estate must be done through a title company through advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and all such acquisitions must be subject to mortgages in favor of the lenders; and, at the time of any such advance, the Company will be required to provide an estimate of the portion of the borrowing that will be used for construction needs. However, the Company may make additional draws from time-to-time pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

        The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial covenants. Among other things, the financial covenants, as amended, require that:

    The Company must maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of at least $75,000 (1) reduced by the sum of (a) inventory impairments under GAAP on assets in the borrowing base taken by the Company and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (b) the amount of any interest expense incurred less the amount of interest capitalized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 ("SFAS 34"),") and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (c) any additional deferred tax asset valuation reserves recorded after March 31, 2008 (provided that clauses (a) and (c) are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $30,000), plus (d) any impairments or write-offs relating to tangible assets or pre-acquisition costs not contained in the borrowing base recorded after March 31, 2008, and (2) increased by the sum of (x) any favorable adjustment recorded after March 31, 2008 to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance as reported in the Company's third quarter fiscal 2008 financials, plus (y) 50% of positive quarterly net income after March 31, 2008 plus (z) 50% of any net securities proceeds received by the Company and the borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility after March 31, 2008. However, in no event may the consolidated tangible net worth, after taking into account the reductions and increases above, at any time be less than $35,000.

    The Company must maintain a required liquidity level based on cash plus borrowing base availability of at least $15,000 of cash and cash equivalents (including cash held at a title company) on a consolidated basis at all times.

    The Company's minimum cash flow from operations ratio based on cash flow from operations to interest incurred covenant, must exceed 1.25-to-1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008; 0.40-to-1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2009; 1.00-to-1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009; and 1.25-to-1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and thereafter. Cash flow from operations is calculated based on the last twelve months cash flow from operations, adjusted for interest paid (excluding any amortized deferred financing costs related to all amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Second Amended Credit

90


      Agreement and the trust preferred securities and any future amendments to any of the foregoing), amounts from the disposition of model homes that are subject to a sale-leaseback transaction to the extent such amounts are not otherwise included in net cash provided by operating activities, and interest income.

    Investments in new non-recourse joint ventures whereby the Company will provide services to develop uncompleted assets are permitted in an amount not to exceed $5,000. However, the Company may also invest 50% of any net securities proceeds raised by the Company after March 31, 2008 in joint ventures that are non-recourse to the Company and may maintain current investments in cost-sharing arrangements or partnerships already in existence.

    The maximum amount of cash or cash equivalents (excluding cash at title companies) the Company is allowed to maintain was set at a maximum of $32,500 for any consecutive five-day period.

    The Company may purchase (a) up to $8,000 of real estate (whether purchase money or otherwise) in the normal course of business, consistent with projections provided to the lenders and (b) improved land (i.e., finished lot takedowns and/or controlled rolling lot options) purchased by the borrowers in the normal course of business, consistent with the projections provided to the Lenders.

        At the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2006, December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company would have been in violation of certain financial covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement if not for the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, waiver letter and the Second Amended Credit Agreement, respectively.

        The Revolving Credit Facility provides that, subject to any applicable notice and cure provisions, each of the following (among others) is an event of default:

    Failure by borrowers to pay when due any amounts owing under the Revolving Credit Facility;

    Failure by the Company to observe or perform any promise, covenant, warranty, obligation, representation or agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility or any other loan document;

    Bankruptcy and other insolvency events with respect to any borrower or the Company;

    Dissolution or reorganization of any borrower or the Company;

    The entry of a judgment or judgments against borrower(s) or the Company: (i) in an aggregate amount that is at least $500 in excess of available insurance proceeds, if such judgment or judgments are not dismissed or bonded within 30 days; or (ii) that prevents borrowers from conveying lots and units in the ordinary course of business if such judgment or judgments are not dismissed or bonded within 30 days; or the issuance of any writs of attachment, execution or garnishment against any borrower or the Company;

    Any material adverse change in the financial condition of a borrower or the Company which causes the lenders, in good faith, to believe that the performance of any of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility is impaired or doubtful for any reason; and

    Specified cross defaults.

        Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, after completion of any applicable grace or cure period, lenders may demand immediate payment in full of all indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, terminate their obligations to make any loans or advances or issue any letter of credit, set off and apply any and all deposits held by any lender for the credit or account of any borrower. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or other insolvency

91



events with respect to any borrower or the Company, all indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be immediately due and payable without any act or action by lenders. A default under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility could also prevent the Company from making required payments under the Company's trust preferred securities, which would cause a default under those securities.

        If the Company does not meet its forecast in its budgets, the Company could violate its debt covenants and, absent a waiver or amendment from its lenders, the Company could be in default under its Revolving Credit Facility and, as a result, its debt could become due which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Trust Preferred Securities:

        On November 23, 2005, the Company issued $75,000 of trust preferred securities which mature on January 30, 2036 and are callable, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued interest on or after January 30, 2011. For the first ten years, the securities have a fixed interest rate of 8.61% per annum, provided that certain covenant levels are maintained. Thereafter, the securities have a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 360 basis points per annum, resetting quarterly. The securities are treated as debt obligations for financial statement purposes. The Company used proceeds from the sale of these securities to repay outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility discussed above.

        The trust's preferred and common securities require quarterly distributions of interest by the trust to the holders of the trust securities at a fixed interest rate equal to 8.61% per annum through January 30, 2016 and, after January 30, 2016, at a variable interest rate (reset quarterly) equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 360 basis points. In the event the Company fails to meet the debt service ratio or minimum tangible net worth requirement set forth in the August 13, 2007 supplemental indenture as of the end of a fiscal quarter for at least three of the last four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2008, the applicable rate of interest will be increased by 300 basis points. The Company began accruing for this increased interest rate on July 31, 2008, which will be paid to holders for the first time with the coupon payable on October 31, 2008. The interest rate will return to the regularly applicable rate once the Company is in compliance with the debt service ratio and minimum tangible net worth requirements as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The terms of the trust securities are governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated November 23, 2005, among OHI Financing, Inc., ("OHI Financing") as depositor, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as property trustee, Chase Bank USA, National Association, as the Delaware trustee, and the administrative trustees named therein.

        The trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust's securities to purchase $77,320 in aggregate principal amount of unsecured junior subordinated notes due January 30, 2036 issued by OHI Financing, which includes $2,300 of inter-company issuances. The junior subordinated notes were issued pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated November 23, 2005, as amended by a Supplemental Indenture dated August 13, 2007, collectively referred to herein as the "Indenture," among OHI Financing, as issuer, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee. The terms of the junior subordinated notes are substantially the same as the terms of the trust's preferred securities. The interest payments on the junior subordinated notes paid by OHI Financing, Inc. will be used by the trust to pay the quarterly distributions to the holders of the trust's preferred and common securities. Pursuant to the parent guarantee agreement dated November 23, 2005 by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee, the Company has unconditionally guaranteed OHI Financing, Inc.'s payment and other obligations under the indenture and the junior subordinated notes. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the trust preferred securities and the subsequent purchase of the junior subordinated notes to partially repay indebtedness.

92


        The Indenture permits OHI Financing to redeem the junior subordinated notes at par, plus accrued interest on or after January 30, 2011. If OHI Financing redeems any amount of the junior subordinated notes, the Trust Agreement requires the trust to redeem a like amount of the trust securities. Under certain circumstances relating to the tax treatment of the trust or the interest payments made on the junior subordinated notes or the classification of the trust as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, OHI Financing may also redeem the junior subordinated notes prior to January 30, 2011 at a 7.5% premium.

        With certain exceptions relating to debt to a trust, partnership or other entity affiliated with the Company that is a financing vehicle for the Company, the junior subordinated notes and the Company's obligations under the parent guarantee are expressly subordinate to all of the Company's existing and future debt unless it is provided in the instrument creating or evidencing such debt, or pursuant to which such debt is outstanding, that such debt is not superior in right to payment of the junior subordinated notes or the obligations under the parent company's guarantee, as the case may be.

        Under the Indenture, OHI Financing will generally have to make eight consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments (other than the eight consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments that could be made on each of the coupon payment dates from October 30, 2008 to and including July 30, 2010) to cause an event of default under the Indenture (or in some cases six consecutive coupon payments). More specifically, the Indenture provides that the earliest an event of default could occur as a result of the payment of the Adjusted Interest Rate is (i) upon the payment of the Adjusted Interest Rate coupon for October 30, 2010, if applicable, provided there have been eight prior consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupons paid by OHI Financing; (ii) on either the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, if at either date both the trailing twelve months' interest coverage ratio is less than 1.25 to 1, and OHI Financing has made the six prior consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments; or (iii) on the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, if at such time both the trailing twelve months' interest coverage ratio is less than 1.75 to 1, and OHI Financing has made the eight prior consecutive Adjusted Interest Rate coupon payments. The Adjusted Interest Rate must be paid for eight (or in some instances six) consecutive coupons in order to trigger an event of default. If the interest coverage ratio test and the minimum consolidated tangible net worth test, are both met, OHI Financing would make the payment of the Regular Interest Rate for the next coupon, and the Adjusted Interest Rate test "resets" requiring OHI Financing to make eight (or in some instances six) new consecutive coupon payments at the Adjusted Interest Rate before triggering an event of default. The interest coverage ratio and minimum consolidated tangible net worth measure are not traditional financial maintenance covenants; they are only utilized in determining if the Adjusted Interest Rate or the Regular Interest Rate is applicable.

        The junior subordinated notes and the trust securities could become immediately payable upon an event of default. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, subject to any applicable cure period, an event of default generally occurs upon:

    non-payment of any interest on the junior subordinated notes when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of the default for a period of 30 days;

    non-payment of the principal of, or any premium on, the junior subordinated notes at their maturity;

    default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty made by OHI Financing, Inc., in the indenture and the continuance of the default or breach for a period of 30 days after written notice to OHI Financing, Inc.;

    non-payment of any distribution on the trust's securities when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of the default for a period of 30 days;

    non-payment of the redemption price of any trust's security when it becomes due and payable;

    default in the performance, or breach, in any material respect of any covenant or warranty of any of the trustees in the Trust Agreement, which default or breach continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to the trustees and OHI Financing, Inc.;

    default in the performance, or breach (which default or breach must be material in certain cases), of any covenant or warranty made by OHI Financing, Inc.

        Pursuant to the August 13, 2007 Supplemental Indenture, OHI Financing established a $5,000 reserve fund in September 2007 for the benefit of the holders of the trust preferred securities by posting a letter of credit with the trustee. If the adjusted interest rate is in effect for the four consecutive coupon payments ending July 30, 2009, this reserve fund must be increased by $2,500. Under certain events of default, this reserve fund may be drawn by the trustee and used in respect of the trust preferred obligations. The reserve fund may be released upon the earlier of compliance with the applicable interest coverage ratio resulting in OHI Financing paying interest at the regular interest rate rather than the adjusted interest rate, or redemption or defeasance of the notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

        On September 20, 2005, the Company issued $30,000 of trust preferred securities which mature on September 30, 2035 and are callable, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued interest on or after September 30, 2010. For the first ten years, the securities have a fixed interest rate of 8.52% per annum. Thereafter, the securities have a floating interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 380 basis points per annum, resetting quarterly. The securities are treated as debt obligations for financial statement purposes. The Company used proceeds from the sale of these securities to fund land purchases and residential construction. The obligations relating to the trust preferred securities are subordinated to the Revolving Credit Facility.

Other Notes Payable

        The other notes payable of $718 and $787 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is comprised of a note executed in December 2003 by the Company to finance the purchase of a 6.25% ownership interest in a corporate jet. The note is payable monthly with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 360 basis points and a term of five years with a balloon payment of $686 due in December 2008.

        The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding debt obligations as of June 30, 2008 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on the Company's liquidity and cash flow in future periods. For mortgage and other note obligations, payments due by period are shown based on the expiration date of the loan while the Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by the assets of the Company and based on the Second Amended Credit Agreement matures on December 20, 2009. The schedule of debt maturities in the table reflects the terms of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

Note 8.    Redeemable Common Stock

        In connection with the Company's acquisition of PLC on October 13, 2000, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the former shareholders of PLC. The former shareholders of Parker and Lancaster Corporation had the right to cause the Company to repurchase the common stock approximately five years after the closing of the acquisition at a price of $3.33 per share. The redemption feature of these shares expired during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Prior to the expiration of the redemption feature, the former shareholders of PLC sold 110,708 of these shares of the Company's Common Stock.

        In connection with the Company's acquisition of Masterpiece Homes on July 28, 2003, the Company sold 30,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the president of Masterpiece Homes at $8 per share. The president of Masterpiece Homes has the right to cause the Company to repurchase these shares of common stock at $8 per share by giving notice to the Company no later than the earlier of December 31, 2006 or 30 days after termination of his employment, as specified in his employment agreement. The President of Masterpiece Homes did not sell any of these shares or require repurchase by the Company.

        The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 provided for a special deduction for Qualified Production Activities, which is applicable to the Company's homebuilding operations. The statute provides for a special additional deduction on qualified expenditures subject to certain limitations. The deduction phases in over a period of time with the allowable percentage of 3.0% in tax years 2005 and 2006, 6.0% in tax years ended 2007-2009 and 9.0% thereafter. Pursuant to FSP FAS 109-1, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the date of enactment. The impact of the deduction is reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed. As discussed in Note 1, the Company files a consolidated tax return on a calendar year basis and, accordingly, began applying the special deduction effective January 1, 2005.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a full valuation allowance was established for the deferred tax assets due to the lack of sufficient objective evidence regarding the realization of these assets in the foreseeable future. As a result of an additional valuation adjustment recorded against deferred tax assets established in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, primarily related to inventory impairments, the balance of the non-cash valuation allowance at June 30, 2008 was $53,642. SFAS 109 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. SFAS 109 provides that a cumulative loss in recent years is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable and also restricts the amount of reliance on projections of future taxable income to support the recovery of deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. To the extent that the Company generates taxable income in the future to utilize the tax benefits of the related deferred tax assets, subject to certain potential limitations, it will be able to reduce its effective tax rate by reducing the valuation

96



allowance. Conversely, any future operating losses generated by the Company in the near-term would increase the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and adversely impact its income tax provision (benefit) to the extent it is in a cumulative loss position as described in SFAS 109.

        Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this interpretation is a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in: (a) an increase in a liability for income taxes payable or a reduction of an income tax refund receivable, (b) a reduction in a deferred tax asset or an increase in a deferred tax liability or (c) both (a) and (b). Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. Use of a valuation allowance as described in SFAS 109 is not an appropriate substitute for the de-recognition of a tax position. The requirement to assess the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on sufficiency of future taxable income is unchanged by this interpretation.

        As of July 1, 2007, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying its provisions by reducing its retained earnings opening balance by $715 with a corresponding increase to the appropriate tax liability accounts. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of June 30, 2008 was $2,925, net of the federal income tax benefit and including potential interest and penalties. This amount relates to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate of the Company. The Company's unrecognized tax liability results primarily from the varying application of statutes, regulations and interpretations including recent state tax cases regarding similar issues. The Company anticipates that it will pay substantially all of the balance associated with its uncertain tax positions within 12 months subsequent to the balance sheet date, as it has entered into a voluntary disclosure agreement to resolve an issue.

        The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate was $2,015 as of July 1, 2007 and $2,925 as of June 30, 2008. The Company recognized interest and penalties accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company accrued $1,400 of gross interest and penalties. As of June 30, 2008, gross accrued interest and penalties were $2,668. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

        Temporary differences represent the cumulative taxable or deductible amounts recorded in the financial statements in different years from those recognized in the tax returns. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 includes an income tax charge to record the establishment of a valuation allowance on the Company's net deferred tax assets. In accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the total tax provision has been allocated between continuing operations and discontinued operations. As a result of this allocation, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the provision for income taxes reflected in discontinued operations is zero with an income tax benefit of $976 in continuing operations.

        The Company files numerous income tax returns in both US federal and state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations with respect to federal and state tax purposes for all returns through and including December 31, 2004 has expired.

        As of June 30, 2008 certain of the Company's federal and certain of their state income tax returns are under audit and are at various stages of the audit process.

Note 10.    Stock Based Compensation and Other Employee Compensation

Stock Award Plan

        In October 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. Stock Award Plan (the "Stock Award Plan"). The Stock Award Plan provides for the grant of stock awards of up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Stock Award Plan allows for the payment of all or a portion of the incentive compensation awarded under the Company's bonus compensation plans to be paid by means of a transfer of shares of common stock. The plan has a ten year life and is open to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. At June 30, 2008, the

98



Company had awarded 395,904 shares of common stock under the Stock Award Plan and the Company had 4,096 shares of the common stock available to issue under the Stock Award Plan.

        In October of 2004 and October of 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company resolved to award certain executives the right to use up to 10% of their incentive compensation to acquire shares of the Company's common stock at a 15% discount. The stock awards are pursuant to the terms of the Company's Stock Award Plan and vest in equal annual installments over three years following the award date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the discounts over the vesting periods of the awards. The Company awarded 14,126 shares of the Company's common stock during the year ended June 30, 2006; none in fiscal years 2008 and 2007. The discount on the shares issued during fiscal year 2006 was $50, of which $8 was recognized as compensation expense during fiscal year 2008. An additional $1 will be recognized as compensation expense during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

        On March 4, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company resolved to grant Michael T. Vesey, the Company's President, Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Company's Board of Directors, 125,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Stock Award Plan. The award was subject to Mr. Vesey's execution of a Restricted Stock Award Agreement which he has executed. The Compensation Committee also approved the payment of bonus compensation to Mr. Vesey sufficient to allow Mr. Vesey to pay the income tax liability triggered on each vesting date.

        The shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Vesey will vest at a rate of 10,000 per year on the first through fifth anniversaries of the date of grant and 15,000 per year on the sixth through tenth anniversaries of the date of the grant, with all shares being fully vested by or on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, assuming Mr. Vesey's continued employment with the Company. In addition, upon certain conditions, such as by reason of death, disability or in the event of a change of control as defined in the Stock Award Plan, any shares of restricted stock not vested at that time will vest, assuming Mr. Vesey is then employed by the Company. Any shares that are not vested are subject to forfeiture in the event Mr. Vesey's employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than by reason of death or disability. At June 30, 2008, 30,000 shares of the restricted stock award were vested and the remaining 95,000 shares vest over the remaining vesting period described above

        On December 6, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Company resolved to grant Garry P. Herdler, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 240,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Stock Award Plan. The award was subject to Mr. Herdler's execution of a Restricted Stock Award Agreement which he has executed. In addition, upon certain conditions, such as death or disability, in the event of a "change of control", termination of employment by the Company without "cause", termination of employment by Mr. Herdler for "good reason" (each as defined in Mr. Herdler's Restricted Stock Award Agreement and his employment agreement), any shares of restricted stock not vested at that time will vest, assuming Mr. Herdler is then employed by the Company. Except as noted in the prior sentence, any shares that are not vested are subject to forfeiture in the event Mr. Herdler's employment with the Company terminates. The Compensation Committee also approved the payment of bonus compensation to Mr. Herdler sufficient to allow Mr. Herdler to pay the income tax liability triggered on each vesting date.

        The shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Herdler will vest at a rate of 48,000 per year, with all shares being fully vested by or on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, assuming Mr. Herdler's continued employment with the Company. In addition, in the event of a change of control as defined in the Stock Award Plan, any shares of restricted stock not vested at that time will vest, assuming Mr. Herdler is then employed by the Company. Any shares that are not vested are subject to forfeiture in the event Mr. Herdler's employment with the Company terminates for any reason. At June 30, 2008, all of the shares of the restricted stock award were unvested.

99


        On a monthly basis, the Company records compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the portion of the awards earned along with additional compensation expense sufficient to cover the taxes Mr. Vesey and Mr. Herdler will have to pay on the awards. The total fair value of the restricted stock award to Mr. Vesey was $3,988 of which $319, $269 and $337 was recorded as compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The total fair value of the restricted stock award to Mr. Herdler was $1,606, of which $187 was recorded as compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Stock Option Plans

        In July 2003, as part of an employment agreement with the president of Masterpiece Homes, the Company granted stock options to purchase 45,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $10.64 per share. The weighted average fair value of the stock option grant was $7.52. The total fair market value of the stock option grant was approximately $338 of which $16 and $56 was recorded as compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively. No compensation expense was recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as the award became fully vested during fiscal year 2007.

        On August 26, 2004, the board of directors of the Company adopted the Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, (the "2004 Stock Incentive Plan"), which is intended to function as an amendment, restatement and combination of all stock option and award plans of the Company other than the Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. Stock Award Plan. On August 26, 2004, the Company granted to an executive officer an option to acquire 20,000 shares of Common Stock and granted to a non-executive officer an option to acquire 7,500 shares of Common Stock. The options vest in four equal annual installments starting June 2005, and have an exercise price of $21.60 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant, and expire in 2014. The weighted average fair value of the stock option grants was $11.03. The total fair market value of the stock option grants was approximately $303 of which $19, $44 and $82 was recorded as compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        On June 19, 2006, the Company granted, pursuant to the registration of securities on June 18, 2007 that increased the total number of stock options under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to 400,000 from 50,000, an executive officer, an option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The stock options were issued pursuant to an employment agreement of the same date. The stock options vest in four equal annual installments starting in June 2007, and have an exercise price of $15.63 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant, and expire in 2016. The weighted average fair value of the stock option grant was $10.62. The total fair market value of the stock option grant was approximately $2,655 of which $705, $1,355 and $58 were recorded as compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

        On February 27, 2007, the Company granted, subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the total number of stock options under the plan to 1,000,000 from 400,000, an executive officer an option to purchase 240,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The stock options were issued pursuant to an employment agreement of the same date. The stock options vest in five equal annual installments starting in February 2008, and have an exercise price of $15.60 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant, and expire in 2016. The weighted average fair value of the stock option grant was $10.56. The total fair market value of the stock option grant was approximately $2,534. On December 6, 2007, the Company repriced these options from $15.60 to $4.65, the fair market value on the date of the repricing. All other terms of the options, including vesting schedules, term and expiration dates, remain unchanged as a result of the repricing.

        On December 20, 2007, the Company granted to three executive officers and one non-executive officer options to purchase 180,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The stock options vest in five equal annual installments starting in December 2009, and have an exercise price of $4.03 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant, and expire in 2018. The weighted average fair value of the stock option grant was $2.32. The total fair market value of the stock option grant was approximately $418 of which $95 was recorded as compensation expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

        On May 23, 2008, the Company granted an executive officer an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

        A summary of the status of the Company's non-vested stock options as of June 30, 2008, and changes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 is summarized below:

 
  Number of Shares
Underlying Options
  Weighted Average Option
Grant Date Fair Value
 

Non-vested at June 30, 2007

    434,375   $ 10.59  

Granted

    205,000   $ 2.37  

Vested

    (117,375 ) $ 10.62  
           

Non-vested at June 30, 2008

    522,000   $ 7.36  
           

        The following is a summary of the significant assumptions the Company used to estimate the fair value of the stock options issued during the three years ended June 30:

 
  2008   2007   2006  

Risk-free interest rate

    1.80% – 4.04 %   4.50 %   5.14 %

Volatility

    63.34% – 63.57 %   62.03 %   61.06 %

Expected life (years)

    9.00     9.00     9.00  

Dividend yield

    1.65 – 1.99 %   0.51 %   0.51 %

        The Company used the assumptions described above in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the aggregate fair value of the stock options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006. The aggregate fair value of the Company's stock option grants are amortized to compensation expense over their respective vesting periods on a graded basis and included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company typically issues shares of common stock from treasury stock upon the exercise of stock options, but such shares may also be newly issued.

        The pretax compensation expense associated with stock based compensation for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $2,075, $1,954, and $594, respectively. Total compensation cost related to non-vested stock based compensation not yet recognized of $2,026 will be recognized according to vesting schedules through May 2013. The Company recognized tax benefits of $0, $1,068 and $955 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 resulting from the disqualified disposition of shares issued to employees in connection with the exercise of incentive stock options and the exercise of non-qualified stock options.

102


Employee Bonus Compensation

        The Company has a bonus compensation plan for its executive officers and key employees calculated at eight percent of its consolidated operating profits before taxes and excluding nonrecurring items, income or loss arising from extraordinary items, discontinued operations, debt repurchased at a discount, and the amount of awards under the bonus compensation plan ("Pre-Tax Profits"). Three percent of the Pre-Tax Profits is awarded as an incentive to the Chairman and one and one-half percent is awarded to the President and Chief Operating Officer. The remaining three and one-half percent of the Pre-Tax Profits is awarded at the discretion of the Company's Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and President to other executive officers and key employees whose performance merits recognition under goals and policies established by the Compensation Committee. This remaining three and one-half percent includes bonus compensation to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the positive difference between the sum of 0.75% of the Company's first $100,000 of pre-tax, pre-bonus consolidated income and 0.50% of the Company's pre-tax, pre-bonus income in excess of $100,000 less the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer's guaranteed bonus for the fiscal year in accordance with his employment agreement. Certain regional employees not participating in the bonus compensation plan are awarded bonuses calculated at up to eight percent of operating profits before taxes and after an allocated capital charge at a regional level. Additionally, certain employees are awarded bonuses at the discretion of senior management. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors also has the authority to award discretionary bonuses to the Company's executive officers. The total amount of bonus compensation charged to selling, general and administrative expense under these plans was $3,328, $4,999, and $13,578 for the three years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        In connection with the Masterpiece Homes acquisition on July 28, 2003, and under an employment agreement with the president of Masterpiece Homes, contingent payments representing 25% of the pretax profits of Masterpiece Homes for the calendar years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are payable to the president of Masterpiece Homes. All contingent payments were settled during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and as such, no accrual was recorded at June 30, 2007. Due to poor operating performance during the calendar year ended December 31, 2006, a credit of $1,130 was recorded to selling, general and administrative expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to partially offset charges to selling, general and administrative expense of $1,890, and $1,584 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

401(k) Plan

        The Company's 401(k) Plan allows employees to participate in the plan after attaining age 21 and completing one month of continuous service with the Company. All employer contributions immediately vest under the Company's 401(k) Plan. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may make matching contributions on the participant's behalf after one year of employment of up to 50% of the participant's eligible annual contribution up to 6%. The Company made gross contributions of $1,033, $811 and $665 for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

        On December 1, 2005, the Company adopted an unfunded, non-qualified target defined benefit retirement plan, effective as of September 1, 2005, which covers a group of management employees of the Company. The Company owns life insurance policies on all participants in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). This SERP, which was amended on March 13, 2006 and September 27, 2007, is intended to provide the participants with an annual supplemental retirement benefit based upon their years of service with the Company and highest average compensation for five consecutive years. The annual supplemental benefit for each participant will be adjusted based on the

103



actual performance of the SERP compared to the target. The benefit is payable for life with a minimum of ten years guaranteed. In order to qualify for normal retirement benefits, a participant must attain age 65 with at least five years of participation in the SERP. Early retirement will be permitted beginning at age 55, after 5 years of participation in the SERP. Early retirement benefits will be adjusted actuarially to reflect the early retirement date.

        If a participant terminates employment with the Company prior to attaining his or her normal retirement date, other than by reason of early retirement, death or disability, the participant will forfeit all benefits under the SERP.

        The Company can amend or terminate the SERP at any time. However, no amendment or termination will affect the participants' accrued benefits as determined in accordance with the SERP or delay any payments to a participant beyond the time that such amount would otherwise be payable without regard to the amendment.

        The Company adopted SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS 158") effective June 30, 2007. SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. In addition, SFAS 158 requires companies to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.

        The Company used a 4.00% annual compensation increase for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and a 6.00%, 6.10% and 6.16% discount rate in its calculation of the present value of its projected benefit obligation for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The discount rate used represented the Moody's AA bond rate for long-term bonds as of June 2008.

        The components of net periodic pension cost of the Company's SERP included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

 
  For the year ended June 30,

        During fiscal year 2009, the Company expects to recognize $418 of prior service cost that is currently included as unrecognized prior service cost and $268 of gain that is currently included as unrecognized gain, both of which are included as components of accumulated other comprehensive income.

        The Company expects to makes its first benefit payments under the SERP during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The expected benefit payments during fiscal years 2012 and 2013 will be approximately $272 each and the aggregate expected benefit payments for fiscal years 2014 through 2018 will be approximately $1,361.

105


Deferred Compensation Plan

        On December 1, 2005, the Company adopted an Executive Compensation Deferral Plan (the "Deferral Plan") effective as of June 1, 2005. Under the Plan, participants will have the ability to defer a portion of their compensation which will be credited to an account maintained by the Company for the participant. Amounts contributed by participants are always vested. Participant deferral accounts will be maintained by the Company for recordkeeping purposes only, as the Company is not obligated to invest the contributions in the designated investments. Participants will have no interest in any assets which may be set aside by the Company to meet its obligations under the Deferral Plan. The Company records as expense the amount the employee contribution would have earned had the funds been invested in the designated investment. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a benefit of $109 as the designated investments had losses. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded expense of $266 to account for earnings in the designated investments. No expense or benefit was recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the liability for the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan was $1,351 and $1,844, respectively,

        Assumed shares (in thousands) under the treasury stock method for stock options of 56 and 156 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the impact was anti-dilutive for those periods.

Note 12.    Commitments and Contingencies

General

        At June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding bank letters of credit, surety bonds and financial security agreements amounting to $114,899 as collateral for completion of improvements at various developments of the Company.

        At June 30, 2008 the Company had agreements to purchase land and approved homesites aggregating approximately 1,847 building lots with purchase prices totaling approximately $124,186.

106



Generally, the Company structures its land acquisitions so that it has the right to cancel its agreements to purchase undeveloped land and improved lots by forfeiture of its deposit under the agreement. Furthermore, purchase of the properties generally is contingent upon obtaining all governmental approvals and satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers. The Company expects to utilize purchase money mortgages, secured financings and existing capital resources to finance these acquisitions. Contingent on the aforementioned, the Company anticipates completing a majority of these acquisitions during the next several years. Within the land and lot option purchase contracts in force at June 30, 2008, there were a limited number of contracts representing $365, subject to specific performance clauses, which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the seller or the Company meeting certain obligations. If the seller meets those specific performance clauses, the Company would forfeit its deposit if the election is made not to purchase the property under contract.

        In January 1983, the New Jersey Supreme Court rendered a decision known as the "Mount Laurel II" decision, which has the effect of requiring certain municipalities in New Jersey to provide housing for persons of low and moderate income. In order to comply with such requirements, municipalities in New Jersey may require developers, including the Company, in connection with the development of residential communities, to contribute funds or otherwise assist in the achievement of the municipalities' fair share of low or moderate-income housing. The Company currently has a commitment with various municipalities in New Jersey for affordable housing contributions totaling approximately $175, payable in installments through June 2010. In July, 2008, legislation was passed in New Jersey that effectively ends the Regional Contribution Agreement as a means to address affordable housing requirements under the Fair Housing Act and in its place creates a statewide non-residential development fee of 2.5% that will be charged on non-residential construction or improvements to raise revenue for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable and workforce housing in New Jersey. The Company is currently assessing what impact this new legislation will have on its New Jersey operations.

Warranty Costs

        Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The Company regularly monitors its warranty reserve and makes adjustments in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Warranty reserves are included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.

        Many of the items relating to workmanship are completed by the existing labor force utilized to construct the other new homes in that community and are therefore already factored into the labor and overhead cost to produce each home. Any significant material defects are generally under warranty with the Company's supplier. The Company has not historically incurred any significant litigation requiring additional specific reserves for its product offerings.

        Generally, the Company provides all of its homebuyers with a limited one year warranty as to workmanship. Under certain circumstances, this warranty may be extended to two years. In practice, the Company may extend this warranty period with the ultimate goal of satisfying the customer. In addition, the Company enrolls all of its homes in a limited warranty program with a third party provider (with the premium paid for this program included in the individual unit budgets described above). This limited warranty program generally covers certain defects for periods of one to two years and major structural defects for up to ten years and actual costs incurred are paid for by the third party provider.

107


        The Company's warranty and customer satisfaction costs are charged to cost of sales at the time each home is closed and title and possession have been transferred to the homebuyer. The amount charged to additions represents warranty and customer satisfaction costs factored into the cost of each home. The amount recorded as charges incurred represents the actual warranty and customer satisfaction cost incurred for the period presented. Certain costs to complete, not included as warranty costs, have been excluded from the rollforward below:

Litigation

        From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from its normal business activities. Although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to currently pending actions cannot be accurately predicted, in the opinion of the Company any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Leases

        The Company's leasing arrangements as lessee include the leasing of certain office space, model homes and equipment. These leases have been classified as operating leases. Rent expense was approximately $2,256, $2,342 and $1,981 for the three years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has the following operating lease commitments:

Note 14.    Segment reporting

        SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" establishes standards for the manner in which public enterprises report segment information about operating segments. The Company has determined that its operations primarily involve four reportable homebuilding segments operating in 11 markets. Revenues are primarily derived from the sale of homes which the Company constructs. The segments reported have been determined to have similar economic characteristics including similar historical and expected future operating performance,

109



employment trends, land acquisitions and land constraints, municipality behavior and met the other aggregation criteria in SFAS 131. The reportable homebuilding segments include operations conducting business in the following markets:

        Northern region:

      Southeastern Pennsylvania;
      Central New Jersey;
      Southern New Jersey; and
      Orange County, New York

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company exited from the Phoenix, Arizona market. See note 2, Discontinued Operations.

        The Company's evaluation of segment performance is based on net income before taxes. In fiscal 2008, the Company changed its methodology in allocating corporate costs to the regions through the allocation of a fixed amount of corporate expense to each region based on budgeted revenue, the effect of which was the allocation of costs to the Southern, Florida and Midwestern regions. This allocation was made in order to better reflect the support the Corporate office provides to the regions.

        Below is a summary of revenue, net (loss) income from continuing operations before taxes and interest included in the cost of residential properties for each reportable segment for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006:

Note 15.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

 
  2008   2007  
 
  Carrying
Amount
  Fair
Value
  Carrying
Amount
  Fair
Value
 

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 72,341   $ 72,341   $ 19,991   $ 19,991  

Restricted cash—due from title company

    19,269     19,269     25,483     25,483  

Restricted cash—customer deposits

    8,264     8,264     11,362     11,362  

Mortgage and other note obligations

    396,133     396,133     469,123     469,123  

Subordinated notes

    105,000     75,000     105,000     97,350  

111


        The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

    Cash and cash equivalents—the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

    Restricted cash—due from title company—the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

    Restricted cash—customer deposits—the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

    Mortgage and other note obligations—these obligations are variable-rate borrowings which are tied to market indices and therefore approximate fair value.

    Subordinated notes—these obligations are fixed-rate borrowings. The fair value is the estimated market value at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, based on fair value indications of the coupon rate of similar instruments in a similar market since there is no market quoted price for such instruments.

Note 16.    Subsequent events

        On May 9, 2008, the Company received a Waiver Letter under the Company's Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement by and among Greenwood Financial, Inc. ("Greenwood Financial"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain affiliates of Greenwood Financial (collectively, the "Borrowers"), the Company, as guarantor, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and various other lenders party thereto, originally entered into on January 24, 2006 and amended on November 1, 2006, February 7, 2007, May 8, 2007, September 6, 2007 and December 1, 2007 (as amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Waiver Letter temporarily waived compliance with certain covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility generally from January 1, 2008 through and including September 15, 2008 (the "Waiver Period"), unless another event of default occurred or the Company failed to meet the revised minimum consolidated tangible net worth and leverage covenants set forth in the Waiver Letter. On September 15, 2008, the Company received an extension of the Waiver Period under the Waiver Letter to September 30, 2008, until the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was executed on September 30, 2008.

Second Amended Credit Agreement:

        On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Second Amended Credit Agreement") which amends and restates the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and provides, among other things, that:

    The maturity date will be December 20, 2009 for all lenders.

    The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $440,000, except that the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility will be $425,000 through December 31, 2008, and $415,000 from July 1, 2009 through December 20, 2009, unless otherwise reduced below these levels as a result of the minimum borrowing base availability requirements in the Revolving Credit Facility.

    The letter of credit sublimit was reduced to $60,000.

    The swing line limit was reduced to $10,000,

    The unused fee was increased to 0.35%.

    The interest rate was changed to the LIBOR interest rate plus 5.0%.

112


    A fee will be earned and payable on September 15, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the aggregate level of the lenders' lending commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as they exist from time to time between September 30, 2008 and the earlier of September 15, 2009 and the date the commitments are permanently reduced to $250,000; however this fee will be reduced by 80% if the aggregate level of commitments on or before September 15, 2009 have been permanently reduced to $250,000.

    If the Company's indebtedness is not paid in full by December 20, 2009, a separate fee will be earned and payable on December 20, 2009 equal to 8.0% per annum, calculated on a daily basis, of the difference between $250,000 and the average daily outstanding cash borrowing as they exist from time to time after September 15, 2009.

    The letter of credit fees were changed to be the applicable spread, with the issuer retaining an issuance fee of 0.125%.

    The borrowing base calculation was amended to increase the maximum percentages for certain asset classes.

    Both of the leverage covenants, the debt service coverage ratio covenant and the units in inventory covenant were eliminated.

    The minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant was lowered to be not less than $75,000, (1) reduced by the sum of (a) inventory impairments under GAAP on assets in the borrowing base taken by the Company and recorded after March 31, 2008, plus (b) the amount of any interest incurred less the amount of interest capitalized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 ("SFAS 34"), plus (c) any additional deferred tax asset valuation reserves recorded after March 31, 2008 (provided that clauses (a) and (c) are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $30,000), plus (d) any impairments or write-offs relating to tangible assets or pre-acquisition costs not contained in the borrowing base recorded after March 31, 2008, and (2) increased by the sum of (x) any favorable adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance taken by the Company as reported in the Company's third quarter financials, plus (y) 50% of positive quarterly net income plus (z) 50% of any net securities proceeds received by the Company and the borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility after March 31, 2008. However, in no event may the consolidated tangible net worth, after taking into account the reductions and increases above, at any time be less than $35,000.

    The minimum liquidity level was reduced to $15,000.

    The minimum cash flow from operations ratio was reduced and the related definition of debt service was amended to exclude any amortized deferred financing costs related to all amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Second Amended Credit Agreement and/or the trust preferred securities and any future amendments to any of the foregoing.

    A $5,000 limit was put on the Company's cash available for joint ventures, however, the Company may invest 50% of any net securities proceeds raised by the Company after March 31, 2008 in joint ventures that are non-recourse to the Company and may maintain current investments in cost-sharing arrangements or partnerships already in existence.

    The maximum amount of cash or cash equivalents (excluding cash at title companies) the Company is allowed to maintain was set at a maximum of $32,500 for any consecutive five-day period.

    The borrowers may purchase (a) up to $8,000 of real estate (whether purchase money or otherwise) in the normal course of business, consistent with projections provided to the lenders and (b) improved land (i.e., finished lot takedowns and/or controlled rolling lot options)

113


      purchased by the borrowers in the normal course of business, consistent with the projections provided to the Lenders.

        The Company also agreed that no dividends or distributions will be paid, no subordinated debt will be repaid under the current Revolving Credit Facility except for interest payable on such debt, and limitations were placed on purchases of additional land including the method for financing such land.

        The bank has agreed to allow the Company to pursue second lien indebtedness in certain limited circumstances. The Company and the lenders have agreed that re-appraisals will be done on the Company's collateral assets. Approximately 35% of those assets have already been appraised and approximately one third of the assets in the borrowing base with a book value in excess of $4,000 that have not yet been appraised, will be appraised in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009. The re-appraisals that have been done to date have not had a material impact on the Company's borrowing base, but there can be no assurance that future re-appraisals will not reduce the Company's borrowing base availability.

        Additional covenants were added to the facility, including requirements that the Company grant a mortgage on any real property not already subject to the Revolving Credit Facility; that all real property sales must be accomplished through a title company, with the net proceeds of such a sale going directly to the Agent for application to the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility; that any purchases of real estate must be done through a title company through advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and all such acquisitions must be subject to mortgages in favor of the revolver; and at the time of any such advance, the Company will be required to provide an estimate of the portion of the borrowing that will be used for construction needs and asset purchases with respect to an applicable project.

2.6.3        Unused Fee.

 

2.6.3.1     Borrowers shall pay, quarterly in arrears at the time each Compliance Certificate is due and on the Maturity Date, an Unused Fee at the rate of 0.35% per annum (that is, 35 “basis points”) the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Sublimit during the Fiscal Quarter most recently ended.

 

2.6.3.2     The Unused Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year.  Unused Fees shall be allocated to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares at the time payment of each Unused Fee is due.

 

2.6.4        Letters of Credit and Tri-Party Agreement Fee.  Borrowers shall pay quarterly, in arrears on the first (1st) day of each Fiscal Quarter during such time that any Letter of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement remains outstanding, a fee based (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement during the preceding Fiscal Quarter.  Such fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year at the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Spread.  Each Issuer shall receive, out of all fees payable by Borrowers under this Section 2.6.4, a Letter of Credit and Tri-Party Agreement issuance fee calculated at the rate of 0.125% per annum (that is, 12.5 “basis points”) of the amount of such Issuer’s liability under the Letters of Credit and Tri-Party agreements executed by such Issuer, and the balance of all such fees paid by Borrowers shall be allocated to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares at the time payment of such fees is due.  The provisions of this Section 2.6.4 shall supersede all agreements heretofore made with regard to fees pertaining to Letters of Credit and Tri-Party Agreements identified on Schedule 1.1.D between any Borrower and the Issuers thereof.  Borrowers shall also pay to each Issuer, for its own account, such Issuer’s letter of credit issuance, renewal, amendment, delivery and billing fees that are such Issuer’s standard at the time a Letter of Credit is issued, renewed or amended.

 

26

2.6.6        Loan Fees Generally.  Lenders may, if Borrowers fail to pay the same when due, disburse to themselves any Loan Fees then due, in whole or in part, as Loans under the Line of Credit, either on the dates as provided above or at any time or times thereafter, without the consent of Borrowers and without receiving a Notice of Borrowing.  If any such Loan Fee is so advanced to themselves by the Lenders from the Line of Credit, interest at the Interest Rate as provided herein shall begin to accrue upon each portion of the Loan Fees as so advanced.

 

2.7           Prepayments.

 

2.7.1        Borrowers may make prepayments (full or partial) with respect to the Indebtedness from time to time without penalty or premium.  The acceptance by Lenders of any prepayment at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall not constitute a waiver, release or accord and satisfaction thereof or of any rights in respect thereto by the Lenders.

 

2.7.2        If a Loan or a Swing Line Loan is made or a drawing is made under any Letter of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement and any Lender fails to deliver to Agent, as required by the terms of this Agreement, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan, Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit Advance that results from such drawing and no other Lender or Lenders elect to fund the defaulting Lender’s share, Borrowers shall, within one (1) Business Day after notice from Agent, pay to Agent the amount of such defaulting Lender’s Pro-Rata Share of the Loan, Swing Line Loan or drawing, which amount, if related to a Letter of Credit Advance, Agent shall pay over to the issuer of the subject Letter of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement.  No such payment by Borrowers shall be deemed to constitute a cure of the default by the non-funding Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.8           No Setoff or Deduction.  All payments of principal and interest on the Loans, Letter of Credit Advances, Swing Loans and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made by the Borrowers without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes or assessments imposed by any governmental authority, or by any department agency or other political subdivision or taxing authority.

 

27



 

2.9           Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Agent determines that any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lenders with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lenders to maintain the Facility, then upon notice to the Borrowers and Lenders by the Agent the Facility shall terminate and Borrowers shall immediately repay all Indebtedness.

 

2.10         Notes.

 

2.10.1      The obligation of Borrowers to repay all Loans and all Letter of Credit Advances, and all interest and other charges thereon, may be evidenced by the Line of Credit Notes.  If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Master Borrower (with a copy to Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Lender one Line of Credit Note in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that any such Line of Credit Note shall be deemed to replace any Line of Credit Note issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement and any such Line of Credit Note issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement shall be marked “cancelled” and returned promptly to Master Borrower or a lost note affidavit shall be provided in lieu thereof.

2.11.1      Borrowers shall deliver to Agent, as security for the Indebtedness:

 

2.11.1.1       An unlimited suretyship agreement of Guarantor, which shall guaranty payment and not merely collection, of the Indebtedness now or hereafter owing by Borrowers to the Lenders as provided herein and the prompt performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

2.11.1.4       All such security agreements, documents and instruments, and duly completed UCC financing statements and such federal and state forms that may be

2.11.2      Real Estate and the Individual Lots and the Units thereon shall be released by Agent from the lien of the applicable Mortgage, after receipt by Agent of Net Asset Sale Proceeds.  Agent agrees to provide such releases in a commercially reasonable manner, including the delivery of a release in escrow to the title company or other closing agent prior to the closing thereunder.  All sales of Real Estate, Lots or Units shall be made through a title company or closing agent and the Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be paid directly to Agent for application to the Indebtedness.  If a sale involves Lots and Units that have an Appraised Value or Cost Incurred of $5,000,000 or more, Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent in connection with such sale, (i) a new, current Borrowing Base Certificate evidencing that immediately after such release Borrowers would be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and, if not, by a payment of principal in an amount sufficient to cause Borrowers to be in compliance) and, (ii) a certification that there then exists no continuing Event of Default.  To facilitate the conveyance of Units in the ordinary course of any Borrower’s Business, the title insurer involved in such transaction may, by an e-mail addressed to refs_orleans@wachovia.com, request confirmation that the subject Lot and Unit will be so released by Agent and, if such is the case, Agent shall promptly respond to such inquiry by e-mail and the Agent agrees to execute the release and promptly deliver such release to the title company or closing agent.

 

2.12         General Provisions.

 

2.12.1      Advances.  Advances of Loans and Letter of Credit Advances shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that the obligations of Lenders to advance funds to Borrowers hereunder are several and independent and that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make any such advance, nor shall the Commitment of any other Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default of any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make advances hereunder.  Borrowers may request no more than two (2) Advances of Loans under the Line of Credit during any calendar week, comprised of one Advance for construction needs, and a second Advance for general working capital and corporate purposes (which shall be in addition to Letter of Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans and shall exclude Loans made automatically as aforesaid to repay Letter of Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans); provided that Borrowers may request two (2) additional Advances of Loans under the Line of Credit during any calendar week (comprised of one Advance for construction needs, and a second Advance for general working capital and corporate purposes), if the initial Loans requested during such week were not funded as a result of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund and such additional request may be in amounts sufficient to fund the amount not so funded under the initial request, without regard to minimum Loan amounts set forth in Section 2.12.2.  In addition, Borrowers may request from time to time Advances for asset purchases of Real Estate, Lots or Units to be funded through a title company pursuant to Section 2.13.

 

2.12.2      Notice of Borrowing.  Subject to the provisions of this Article II, whenever a Borrower desires to borrow a Loan under this Agreement, such Borrower shall deliver by telecopy to Agent a properly completed Notice of Borrowing, executed by an

Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19109, Attention:  Julie Pasceri-Young, facsimile 215-670-6530 (or to such other addresses or facsimile numbers as Agent may from time-to-time advise Borrowers by written notice).

 

2.12.3      Funding of Loans.

 

2.12.3.1       By 3:00 P.M. on the day Agent (i) receives a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.12.2 or (ii) has actual knowledge that a drawing or a demand for payment has been or will be made under a Letter of Credit or Tri-Party Agreement, Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile or electronic (e-mail) transmission of the proposed borrowing, drawing or demand.  Except as provided in Section 2.12.3.2, not later than noon on the Funding Date specified in the Notice of Borrowing (or the anticipated date of the honoring of any such drawing or demand, as specified in Agent’s notice to the Lenders), each Lender shall wire transfer to such account of Agent as Agent shall designate an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan or Letter of Credit Advance to be made to or for the account of Borrowers on such Funding Date.  Agent shall cause such Loans to be made available to the requesting Borrower on the Funding Date pertaining thereto by depositing the amount thereof in the designated account of such Borrower with Agent; provided, that if the Notice of Borrowing relates to a request for an Advance to fund the acquisition of Real Estate, Lots or Units, the amount of the Advance shall be deposited into the escrow account or similar account for the title company or title clerk conducting the settlement with respect to the Real Estate, Lots or Units being acquired in compliance with Section 2.13.

 

2.12.3.2       Each Lender shall make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan or Letter of Credit Advance available to Agent, in same day funds, not later than noon on the Funding Date, by wire transfer to Syndication Agency Services, 201 S. College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina, ABA #053 000 219, Account #5000000061196, Ref. Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. (or to such other account as Agent may from time to time advise the Lenders by written notice).  Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to any Funding Date in respect of any requested Loan or of such Letter of Credit Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan or of such Letter of Credit Advance on such Funding Date, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the requesting Borrower on such Funding Date and Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the requesting Borrower a corresponding amount on such Funding Date by depositing the proceeds thereof in the designated Deposit Account of the requesting Borrower with Agent.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan or of such Letter of Credit Advance, available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to

 

30



 

Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the Alternate Interest Rate.  If Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to Master Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its Pro Rata Share of such Loan or Letter of Credit Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan or Letter of Credit Advance.  Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent.

 

2.12.4      Request for and Funding of Swing Line Loans.  Borrowers may request a Swing Line Loan by delivering to Agent an appropriate Notice of Borrowing not later than 2:00 P.M. on any Business Day.  Swing Line Loans must be in an integral multiple of $100,000, but in no event less than $500,000.  Swing Line Lender will fund Swing Line Loans on the Business Day on which a Notice of Borrowing with respect thereto is received by depositing the amount thereof into the designated account of the requesting Borrower with Agent.

 

2.12.5      Manner, Time and Application of Payment.  All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder and under the Notes shall be made by Borrowers without notice, set-off or counterclaim and in immediately available same day funds and delivered to Agent not later than 1:00 P.M., on the date due for the account of Lenders; funds received by Agent after that time shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrowers on the next succeeding Business Day.  All such payments shall be made by wire transfer to the account identified in Section 2.12.3.2, or to such other account as Agent may from time to time specify by written notice to Borrowers.  Payments received for the account of Lenders shall be applied first, on account of accrued interest and then on account of outstanding principal.  Unless Agent shall have received notice from Master Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

2.12.6      Apportionment of Payments.  Aggregate principal and interest payments made by Borrowers in respect of Loans and Letter of Credit Advances (but not of Swing Line Loans) shall be apportioned proportionately to each Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share. Agent shall, within one (1) Business Day, distribute to each Lender its share of all payments received by Agent for the benefit of Lenders, and if any such payment is not so distributed, Agent shall pay to the intended recipient thereof interest on the unpaid amount thereof at the Federal Funds rate until paid.  All payments on account of such Swing Line Loans shall be distributed only to Swing Line Lender.

 

2.12.7      Conditional Payment.  Borrowers agree that checks and other instruments received by Agent on behalf of Lenders or by any Lender in payment or on account of the

 

31



 

Indebtedness constitute only conditional payment until such items are actually paid to Agent or such Lender.

 

2.12.8      Advances Attributable to New York Projects.  Following the recording of a Mortgage that encumbers a Project in the State of New York (each a “New York Mortgage”) the amount of each Advance thereafter made (but only until the aggregate amount of such Advances equals the “Secured Amount” (as defined in such Mortgage) shall be deemed to have been advanced under, and secured by, such New York Mortgage.  The portion of the Indebtedness secured by such New York Mortgage shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Borrowers repay with respect to the Indebtedness (as provided in this Section 2.12.8) and, from and after that date on which the aggregate amount of such Advances equals the Secured Amount, the portion of the Indebtedness secured by such New York Mortgage shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of the Indebtedness by Borrowers.  So long as the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness exceeds the Secured Amount of a New York Mortgage, any payments and repayments of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the Indebtedness secured by such New York Mortgage and such payments shall be deemed to reduce only such portions of the Indebtedness as are secured by Mortgages encumbering real property located outside of the State of New York, except as provided in the next sentence of this Section 2.12.8.  If at any time when more than one New York Mortgage is in effect a payment of the Indebtedness is made such that the outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness would be less than the Secured Amount of any New York Mortgage, the amount of such payment shall be deemed applied in reduction of the Secured Amount of such New York Mortgage as shall be specified by Agent by written notice to Master Borrower.

 

2.13         Advances Made Through Title Company.  Any purchases of Real Estate, Lots or Units must be made (i) in compliance with Section 8.5, (ii) through a title company using Advances under the Line of Credit, and (iii) after or concurrently with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1.11 with respect to such Real Estate, Lots and Units.

 

2.14         Swap Contracts.  In the event that any Borrower enters into any Swap Contract, such Swap Contract shall be secured by the Collateral and all amounts owed by Borrowers under such Swap Contracts (including, without limitation, all termination payments, if any) shall be secured by, and paid out of, the Collateral “pari passu” with the other Indebtedness.

 

2.15         Alternate Interest Rate.

 

2.15.1      If at any time Agent or the Requisite Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the 1-month LIBOR Rate, Agent shall give telecopy, telephonic or written notice thereof to Master Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, and until such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, all Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letter of Credit Advances shall bear interest at the Alternate Interest Rate rather than by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate.

 

2.15.2      If any Lender reasonably determines that maintenance of its Loans on which interest is charged at a rate based on the LIBOR Market Index Rate at a Lending Office would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force

 

32



 

of law, then Agent shall give telecopy, telephonic or written notice thereof to Master Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, and until such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, all Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letter of Credit Advances shall bear interest at the Alternate Interest Rate rather than by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate.

 

2.16         Taxes.

 

2.16.1      Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if Borrowers shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

2.16.2      Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.16, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

2.16.3      Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Master Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

2.16.4      As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

 

2.16.5      Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Master Borrower (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Master Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by Master Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Master Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to

backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Master Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Master Borrower or Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881I of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Master Borrower or any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

2.16.6      If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Master Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount so paid over to Master Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section 2.16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Master Borrower, any Borrower or any other Person.

 

2.17         Increased Costs.

 

2.17.1      If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements); (ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any participation in any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost

 

34



 

to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

2.17.2      If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

2.17.3      A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.17.1 or 2.17.2 and delivered to Master Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

 

2.17.4      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Master Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

2.18         Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or requires Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender, unless directed by Master Borrower not to do so, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

2.19         Survival of Indemnity.  The obligations of Borrower under Sections 2.16 and 2.17 shall survive payment of the Indebtedness and termination of the Agreement.

 

35


 

2.20         Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by Master Borrower to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.9 hereof), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) Borrowers shall have paid to Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.9 of the Agreement; (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

2.21         Lending Office.  Each Lender may book its Pro Rata Share of Loans and Letter of Credit Advances at any Lending Office selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Office from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Office and the Loans, Letter of Credit Advances and Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Office.  Each Lender may, by written notice to Agent and Master Borrower, designate replacement or additional Lending Offices through which Loans and Letter of Credit Advances will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments or a payment with respect to Letter of Credit Advances are to be made.

3.3.2.5     The maximum percentage of Borrowing Base Availability attributable to Asset Classes (iii), (iv) and (v), based on Borrowing Base Certificates (a) delivered on or before September 30, 2008, shall be 57%, and (b) delivered after September 30, 2008 shall be 55%, in each case of the total Borrowing Base Availability as shown thereon; provided that at no time shall Borrowing Base Availability attributable to Asset Classes (iii), (iv) and (v) exceed the following (with such limitations to be reduced dollar for dollar at the time and in the amounts of any impairments with respect to assets in Asset Classes (iii), (iv) and (v) and included in the Borrowing Base taken by Borrowers):

3.3.3        Borrowers acknowledge that the Agent may make changes or adjustments to the values set forth in any Appraisal as may be required by the Agent’s appraisal department in the exercise of its good faith business judgment, and that the Agent is not bound by the value set forth in any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement and does not make any representations or warranties with respect to any Appraisal.  Borrowers further agree that Lenders shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value.

 

3.3.4        Re-Appraisals.  Appraisals must be current within one year on all Projects, except for any Project that has a GAAP book value of less than $4,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing Date, Agent shall order Appraisals on one-third of the Projects without a current Appraisal on a quarterly basis until all Appraisals are current, which shall be not later than June 30, 2009 (or such later date as agreed to by Agent, but in no event later than September 30, 2009).  Each new Appraisal shall be ordered and reviewed by the Agent, with a copy furnished to Master Borrower for review. Master Borrower shall have ten (10) Business Days to respond to the Agent with comments to any Appraisal; however, the final Appraisal amount shall be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion after consideration of such comments.  Following the receipt and review of any new Appraisal, commencing with the next monthly Borrowing Base Certificate delivered, the appraised values from such Appraisal will be used in the calculation of the Borrowing Base in compliance with Sections 3.3.2.1, 3.3.2.2 and 3.3.2.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent, at its discretion, shall have the right to obtain new Appraisals of all or any portion of the Projects (a) whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) as required by the then current regulatory requirements generally applicable to real estate loans of the categories made under this Agreement, as reasonably interpreted by the Agent, (c) at any time following a condemnation of more than an immaterial portion of a Project, as determined in good faith by the Agent and (d) upon any material adverse change with respect to a Project, as determined in good faith by the Agent.  All Appraisal costs shall be at the expense of Borrowers.  For the avoidance of doubt, the one year period applicable to this Section 3.3.4 shall commence the day immediately following the date of the first Borrowing Base Certificate that includes a new Appraisal in its calculations.

3.3.5.1     Generally.  The amount of Borrowing Base Availability attributable to Projects in any Approved Jurisdiction in which the liens of Mortgages are limited to a stated amount that is less than the Facility Amount shall at no time exceed such stated

 

39



 

amount (which shall not be an aggregate amount) contained in each of the then-outstanding Mortgages in such Approved Jurisdiction (that is, for example, if there are five (5) Mortgages encumbering Projects in Florida, each with a stated principal amount of $75,000,000, the maximum Borrowing Base Availability, at any time, on account of Florida Projects would be $75,000,000).

 

3.3.5.2     New York.  The amount of Borrowing Base Availability attributable to any Project in the State of New York shall at no time exceed the stated amount of the Mortgage that encumbers such Project.

 

3.3.6        Purchase Money Mortgages.  The aggregate amount of Borrowing Base Availability shall at all times be reduced by the then-outstanding aggregate principal balance of all purchase money mortgages encumbering Borrowing Base Projects that are Permitted Liens and that do not secure the Indebtedness.

 

3.4           Submission of Borrowing Base Certificate.  In addition to any other requirement to do so as provided in this Agreement, (i) Borrowers shall submit to Agent a current Borrowing Base Certificate by the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month, and (ii) may submit a total of two (2) Borrowing Base Certificates during any calendar month, in each instance accompanied by such additional supporting information as may be reasonably requested by Agent.  Any such Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Agent shall be deemed certified by Borrowers as to its completeness and its accuracy (including that each Lot and Unit identified thereon are encumbered by a Mortgage).  If approved by Agent, such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be determinative of the then-current Borrowing Base Availability.

 

3.5           Inspection of Projects.  Borrowers shall permit Agent, by its employees and independent contractors, to enter upon and inspect, at any time and from time to time, all Projects that are then in the Borrowing Base, such inspections shall be made at a pace such that approximately 25% of all Projects in the Borrowing Base are so inspected during each Fiscal Quarter.  The costs of such inspections, as reasonably agreed upon by Master Borrower and Agent at the time a Project is admitted to the Borrowing Base, shall be Lender’s Costs.

Documents to a sale of the Projects for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lenders to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Projects in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.  In addition (but subject to any applicable statute or law governing deficiencies remaining after the sale of any collateral), each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to any Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Projects or require Agent to exhaust its remedies against any individual or any combination of the Projects before proceeding against any other Project or combination of Projects; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Projects, to the extent permitted by any applicable statute or law.

 

10.6         Waiver of Counterclaim.  Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Agent or Lenders.

 

ARTICLE XI.
THE AGENT

 

11.1         Appointment.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the term hereof and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, as agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and such other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Agent.  Any reference to the Agent in this Article XI shall be deemed to refer to the Agent solely in its capacity as Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender.

 

11.2         Delegation of Duties.  Agent may execute any of its respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

 

11.3         Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, subsidiaries or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for actions occasioned solely by its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (a) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrowers or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in

 

64



 

connection with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or, (b) the satisfaction of any condition specified herein, other than receipt of items required to be delivered to Agent, or (c) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (d) for any failure of Borrowers or Guarantor to perform their obligations hereunder or thereunder.  Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrowers or Guarantor.  Agent shall have no duty to disclose to Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by Borrowers or Guarantor to Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by any Borrower or Guarantor to Agent in its individual capacity.

 

11.4         Reliance by Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent.  Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 13.9 hereof.  Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby or by the relevant other Loan Document, all the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the Notes in accordance with a request of the Requisite Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

 

11.5         Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, subsidiaries or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and made its own decision to make Loans and Line of Credit Advances, to participate in Swing Line Loans and to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other

 

65



 

documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent hereunder or by the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

11.6         Indemnification.  Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (i) for any amounts (but excluding syndication expenses) not reimbursed by Borrowers for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement by Borrowers under the Loan Documents (and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to pay such reimbursement), including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery of the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in connection with the administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or (b) a dispute which is solely between Agent and one or more Lenders in which the other Lender prevails, or (c) an action taken or not taken by Agent contrary to the express requirements contained herein pertaining to the requisite number of Lenders required to approve or direct certain actions or contrary to the instructions received from such Lenders.  The obligations of Lenders under this Section 11.6 shall survive payment of the Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement.  Each Lender shall, within ten (10) Business Days after a written demand therefor accompanied with a description of the amounts payable, contribute its respective Pro-Rata Share of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys.

 

11.7         Consequential Damages.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN OR IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, NEITHER AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY LENDER OR TO AGENT FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

11.8         Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Agent and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers as though Agent were not an Agent hereunder.  With respect to any Loans, Letter of Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans made or renewed by it and any Line of Credit Note or Swing Line Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this

 

66



 

Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.

 

11.9         Resignation or Removal of Agent as Administrative Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor administrative agent as provided below, (i) Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice thereof to Lenders and Master Borrower, and (ii) Agent may be removed at any time by Requisite Lenders with cause, if it is reasonably determined by Requisite Lenders that Agent has failed, and continues to fail, in the administration of the Facility in accordance with customary practices for similar credit facilities.  Upon any such resignation or removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject to the approval of Borrowers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such approval of Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default is in existence.  If no successor administrative agent shall have been so appointed by Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation or the Requisite Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor administrative agent, subject to the approval of Borrowers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such approval of Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default is in existence.  Any successor administrative agent shall be a Lender which has a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.00.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor administrative agent, such successor administrative agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent hereunder.

 

11.10       Amendments, Waivers and Consents.  Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders, and any consent given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and delivered to Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Borrowers; provided, that without the prior written consent of each Lender no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) increase the Facility Amount, the Revolving Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) postpone the Maturity Date or change the date on which any monthly payment of interest is due; (iii) reduce the Interest Rate payable on any Loan or Letter of Credit Advance, or any Loan Fee; (iv) amend the “Advance Rate” percentage set forth in the chart that is part of Section 3.3; (v) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder; (vi) release Guarantor; (vii) release any Collateral or consent to the transfer, pledge, mortgage or assignment of any Collateral, other than as specifically provided in this Agreement; or (viii) amend the provisions of this Section 11.10, the definition of Requisite Lenders or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to (a) amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights of Lenders hereunder, (b) make any determination that is to be made by Lenders or (c) grant any consent that is required to be obtained from Lenders.  In addition, no amendment or waiver of the provisions of this Article XI shall be made

 

67



 

without the written consent of Agent and no Lender’s Commitment may be increased without such Lender’s consent.

 

11.11                   Authority.

 

11.11.1    Agent, as described herein, shall have all rights with respect to collection and administration of the Indebtedness, the security therefor and the exercise of remedies with respect thereto, except, to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein.  Lenders agree that Agent shall make all determinations as to whether to grant or withhold approvals or consents under the Loan Documents and as to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth therein or herein.  Agent will simultaneously deliver to Lenders copies of any default notice sent to Borrowers under the terms of the Loan Documents and will promptly provide to Lenders copies of any other material notices.

 

11.11.2    As to any matters which are subject to the consent of any or all of Lenders, as set forth in this Agreement, Agent shall not be permitted or required to exercise any discretion or to take any action except upon the receipt of the written consent to such action by Lenders holding the required Pro Rata Shares, which written instructions shall be binding upon Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that Lenders’ right to consent to or disapprove any particular matter shall be limited to the extent that Lenders’ or Agent’s rights to consent to or disapprove of such matter are limited in the Loan Documents.  Subject to the foregoing limitations, each Lender hereby appoints and constitutes Agent as its agent with full power and authority to exercise on behalf of such Lender any and all rights and remedies which such Lender may have with respect to, and to the extent necessary under applicable law for, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, including the right to exercise, or to refrain from exercising, any and all remedies afforded to such Lender by the Loan Documents or which such Lender may have as a matter of law.

 

11.12                   Borrower Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans, Letter of Credit Advances or Swing Line Loans) unless Agent has received notice from a Lender, a Borrower or Guarantor specifying such default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.  In the event that Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders.  Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of each nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans, Letter of Credit Advances or Swing Line Loans, whether or not Agent has received any notice of the occurrence of such nonpayment.  Agent shall (subject to Section 11.10) take such action hereunder with respect to such default or Event of Default as shall be directed by Requisite Lenders, provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders, including, without limitation, continuing to make Loans.

 

11.13                   Lender Default.  If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) (i) fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan or Letter of Credit Advance on or before the time required pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) fails to pay Agent, within twenty (20) days of demand (which demand shall be accompanied by invoices or other reasonable back up information demonstrating the amount

 

68



 

owed) for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements incurred or made by Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the aggregate amount described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) which the Defaulting Lender fails to pay or fund is referred to as the “Defaulted Amount”), (iii) has given notice to Agent or any Borrower that it will not make, or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to make, any Loan hereunder (unless such notice is given by all Lenders), or (iv) has been deemed insolvent or become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the other Lenders (the “Non-Defaulting Lenders”) at law and in equity:

 

11.13.1    The Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan and the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any rights to vote upon, consent to or direct any action of Agent or Lenders shall be suspended and such rights shall not be reinstated unless and until such default is cured (and all decisions, except the decision to remove Agent, which are subject to receiving a vote of a required percentage of Lenders shall be approved if voted in favor of by the required percentage of the Non-Defaulting Lenders); that if Agent is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall continue to have all rights provided for in this Agreement with respect to the administration of the Loan, unless Requisite Lenders vote to remove and replace such Agent as provided in Section 11.9.

 

11.13.2    Any or all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be entitled (but shall not be obligated) to fund the Defaulted Amount, and collect interest at the Default Rate on the Defaulted Amount from the Defaulting Lender (after crediting all interest actually paid by Borrower on the Defaulted Amount from time to time) from amounts otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which payment is made.

 

11.13.3    In the event the Defaulted Amount is funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 11.13.2, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and Letter of Credit Advances and the Loan Documents and proceeds thereof shall be subordinated to any Defaulted Amount funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 11.13.2 plus interest which may be due in accordance with Section 11.13.2, to be applied pari passu among the Non-Defaulting Lenders funding the Defaulted Amount), without necessity for executing any further documents, provided that such Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof shall no longer be so subordinated if the Defaulted Amount funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders (and all interest which has accrued pursuant to Section 11.13.2) shall be repaid in full.

 

11.13.4    To achieve such subordination, (i) Agent shall deduct from the interest due to the Defaulting Lender on its subordinated interest in the Loans and Letter of Credit Advances the excess of interest on the Defaulted Amount at the rate specified in Section 11.13.2 over the interest actually received from Borrower by the Non-Defaulting Lenders which funded the Defaulted Amount on account of their portion of the Defaulted Amount for the same time period and (ii) all amounts received by Agent on account of principal (or reimbursement for amounts otherwise advanced) which would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Lender shall be paid pari passu to the Non-Defaulting Lenders until the Defaulted Amount and all interest thereon has been repaid in full.

 

69



 

11.13.5    Agent or any Lender shall have the right, with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender agrees that it shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Lender or Lenders, all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of the Note held by the Defaulting Lender and all accrued interest and fees, less any amounts due from the Defaulting Lender with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

 

Nothing contained in this Section 11.13 shall be deemed or construed to waive, diminish or limit, or prevent or stop any Lender from exercising or enforcing, any rights or remedies which may be available at law or in equity as a result of or in connection with any default under this Agreement by a Lender.  In addition, no Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender if such Lender refuses to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan or Letter of Credit Advance being made after any bankruptcy related Event of Default hereof due to the lack of bankruptcy court approval for such Advance.

 

11.14                   Ratable Sharing.  The Lenders, by acceptance of a Note, agree among themselves that with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Notes held by any Lender (whether as a result of the enforcement of any Loan Document or on foreclosure of any banker’s or other lien or any setoff or other claim on or against any deposit or other balance of any Borrower or Guarantor held by any Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other holder of a Note in respect to the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Notes held by it, or any other amount payable hereunder, such Lender or such holder of a Note receiving such proportionately greater payments shall notify each other Lender and Agent of such receipt and remit to them such amounts as are necessary so that all such recoveries of principal and interest with respect to the Notes shall be proportionate to the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares.  If any Lender or holder of a Note receiving such proportionately greater payments is required to return such proportionately greater payment to any trustee, receiver or other representative of or for any Borrower upon or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or dissolution of such Borrower, then such other Lender(s) which received its or their Pro Rata Share of such proportionately greater payment must also return such amounts to the appropriate Borrower as if such payment or payments from the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payments had not been made.  If at the time that the provisions of this Section 11.14 are applied there is any Swing Line Loan outstanding, each Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the existence of such Swing Line Loan and shall be based on such Lender’s proportionate share of all then-outstanding Indebtedness.

 

11.15                   Documentation.  Agent shall deliver to any Lender, in addition to the information required to be delivered by Agent to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, copies of such Loan Documents now or hereafter executed by Borrowers or Guarantor and other documents delivered by Borrowers to Agent, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor.

hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

13.9.4      Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrowers or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Guarantor, a Borrower or any of Guarantor’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans and Letter of Credit Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 11.10 that requires the consent of all Lenders, that affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 13.9.5, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 13.15 hereof to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.9.1.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.14 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.14 as though it were a Lender.

 

13.9.5      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Master Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless Master Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

 

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

 

13.10                   Notices.

 

13.10.1    Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 13.10.4), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier to the addresses set forth below:

13.10.4    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  Agent or Borrowers may, in its or their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.  Unless Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

13.11                   Cumulative Remedies.  The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies (including without limitation, the right of specific performance) which Agent or Lenders would otherwise have.  Any waiver, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Agent or Lenders of any Event of Default or breach of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any such waiver of any provision or condition hereof or thereof must be in writing, signed by Agent, and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.  Borrowers acknowledge that, with respect to this Agreement and its terms, Borrowers are neither authorized nor entitled to rely on any representations, course of dealing, modifications or assurances in any form as to any subject from any officer of Agent unless and until such representations, modifications, course of dealing, or assurances are set forth in writing and signed by such officer of Agent.

 

13.12                   Third Party Beneficiaries.  The parties do not intend the benefits of this Agreement to inure to any third party.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Notes or any other Loan Document executed in connection with this transaction, or any conduct or course of conduct by either or both of the parties hereto, or their respective Affiliates, agents, or employees, before or after the signing of this Agreement or any of the other aforesaid Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims, or causes of action against Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, or employees, in favor of any person or entity other than Borrowers.

 

13.13                   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding among Borrowers, Lenders and Agent regarding the Facility.  All prior negotiations and discussions between or among any of the parties hereto regarding the Facility and the terms and conditions thereof are superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

13.14                   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

13.15                   Expenses and Indemnification.

 

13.15.1    The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent), and shall pay all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or

 

77



 

Tri-Party Agreement or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit or Tri-Party Agreements issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

 

13.15.2    Borrowers and, by its execution of the Guaranty, Guarantor agree to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and Lenders and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense with respect thereto, arising out of or in connection with the Facility, any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Facility, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, Guarantor, any of its or their shareholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Borrower, Guarantor or any of its or their shareholders or directors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

13.15.3    Agent shall promptly give Borrowers written notice of all suits or actions instituted against Lenders with respect to which Borrowers have indemnified Lenders, and Borrowers shall timely proceed to defend any such suit or action through counsel reasonably acceptable to Lenders.  In the event that Lenders determine in good faith that the subject action, if decided adversely to Lenders’ interest, would have a material adverse effect upon any Lender, Lenders shall also have the right, at the expense of Borrowers, to participate in or, at Lenders’ election, assume the defense or prosecution of such suit, action, or proceeding, and in the latter event Borrowers may employ counsel and participate therein.  Agent shall have the right to adjust, settle, or compromise any claim, suit, or judgment after notice to Borrowers, unless Borrowers desire to litigate such claim, defend such suit, or appeal such judgment and simultaneously therewith deposit with Agent collateral security sufficient to pay any judgment rendered, with interest, costs, legal fees and expenses; and the right of Lenders to indemnification under this Agreement shall extend to any money paid by Lenders in settlement or compromise of any such claims, suits, and judgments in good faith, after notice to Borrowers.

 

78



 

13.15.4    If any suit, action, or other proceeding is brought by Lenders against Borrowers for breach of Borrowers’ covenant of indemnity herein contained, separate suits may be brought as causes of action accrue, without prejudice or bar to the bringing of subsequent suits on any other cause or causes of action, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing.

 

13.15.5    The obligations of Borrowers and Guarantor under this Section 13.15 shall survive the repayment of the Debt and termination of this Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the possibility of such claim, action or suit exists.  If, and to the extent that the obligations of Borrowers or Guarantor under this Section 13.15 are unenforceable for any reason, Borrowers and Guarantor hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

 

13.16                   Relationship of Parties.  It is hereby acknowledged by Lenders and Borrowers that the relationship between them created hereby and by the other Loan Documents is that of creditor and debtor and is not intended to be and shall not in any way be construed to be that of a partnership, a joint venture, or principal and agent.  It is hereby further acknowledged that Agent’s disbursement of any Loan proceeds or Letter of Credit Advance to anyone other than a Borrower shall not be deemed to make Agent or Lenders a partner, joint venturer, or principal or agent of Borrowers, but rather shall be deemed to be solely for the purpose of protecting Lenders’ security for the Indebtedness.  The relationship between Agent and the Lenders is not intended by the parties to create, and shall not create, any trust, joint venture or partnership relation between or among them.

 

13.17                   Joint and Several Liability.  The liability of each Person that is, or by reason of its execution of a Joinder hereafter becomes, a Borrower for (i) the performance of this Agreement and of each of the other Loan Documents and (ii) for payment of the Indebtedness shall be joint and several.

 

13.18                   Damage Waiver.  To the extent permitted by law, no Borrower or Guarantor shall assert, and each Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.  No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

13.19                   Publicity.  Agent may, at its option and in such manner as it may determine and which Master Borrower shall approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), announce and publicize the involvement of Agent and Lenders in the granting of the Facility.

 

13.20                   No Implied Waiver.  No delay or failure of Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

79



 

13.21       USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56) (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrowers in accordance with the Act; Agent shall obtain such information on behalf of the Lenders.

 

13.22       Taxes.  Borrowers agree to pay or cause to be paid any and all stamp, document, transfer or recording taxes, and similar impositions payable or hereafter determined to be payable in connection with the Notes, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, and agree to save Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present or future claims or liabilities with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying or omission to pay, any such taxes or similar impositions.

 

13.23       Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Loan Documents which imposes additional burdens on Borrowers or further restricts the rights of Borrowers or gives the Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted them.  Each Borrower acknowledges that it has read the entirety of this Agreement and of every other Loan Document and that Borrowers shall rely solely on their own judgment and on their legal counsel and advisors in entering into the Facility and executing the Loan Documents, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Agent or any Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Agent or of any Lender, or of any employee, officer, agent or advisor of any of the foregoing entities.

 

13.24       Jurisdiction.  IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP EVIDENCED HEREBY, BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF PHILADELPHIA OR BUCKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA.  BORROWERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH BORROWERS MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE, OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS.  BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, AND ANY OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO BORROWERS AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED

 

80



 

COMPLETED UPON THE PROVIDING OF NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO AFFECT THE RIGHTS OF AGENT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY AGENT OR LENDERS OF ANY CLAIM, JUDGMENT OR ORDER OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM, OR THE TAKING OF ANY ACTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE TO ENFORCE SAME, IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE FORUM OR JURISDICTION.

 

13.25                   Waiver of Jury Trial.  BORROWERS, AGENT AND LENDER, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST THEM OR ANY OF THEM IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO THE FACILITY OR THE RELATIONSHIPS EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

 

13.26                   Existing Credit Agreement; No Novation.  This Agreement supersedes, amends and restates in full, the Existing Credit Agreement and all prior amendments thereof.  The Indebtedness referred to herein includes all of the Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, and the parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, nor shall it, constitute a novation.  All Notes issued and outstanding pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (including all replacement Notes) constitute Notes issued pursuant to, and shall have the benefit of, this Agreement.  Borrowers acknowledge agree that all references in any Loan Document heretofore executed by any Borrower to the “Loan Agreement” mean and refer to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement.

 

13.27                   Releases.

 

13.27.1            Release.

 

13.27.1.1         Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, no right of offset, defense, counterclaim, claim, causes of action or objection in favor of any Borrower and Guarantor against the Lenders (including all lenders prior to the Closing Date) or the Agent, any other agent or any Issuer exists arising out of or with respect to (i) the Indebtedness, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any other documents evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the foregoing, or (iii) the administration or funding of the Loans, the Commitment or the issuance of Letters of Credit or Tri-Party Agreements.

 

13.27.1.2         Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby expressly waives, releases and relinquishes any and all defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims, causes of action or objections, if any, against such Lenders, the Agent, the other agents or any Issuer, whether known or unknown, both at law and in equity, only to the extent arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

81



 

13.27.1.3         Each Borrower and Guarantor for itself, each other Borrower and Guarantor and their respective successors and assigns in interest and any person that may derivatively or otherwise assert a claim through or by any of the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (collectively, the “Releasors”) waives and releases against Agent and each Lender and each of their respective employees, agents, representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, servants, officers, directors, partners, predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations, related corporate divisions, participants and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”), and covenants not to commence or pursue any litigation or action, claims, demands, causes of action, suits, debts, sums of money, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, setoffs, recoupments, counterclaims, defenses, expenses, damages and/or judgments, whatsoever in law or in equity (whether matured, unmatured, contingent or non-contingent) that relate in any way, either directly or indirectly, to this Agreement, any Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby or any action by Agents, Lenders or any other Releasee in any way related thereto, whether known or unknown, which each of the Releasors had, now has or may have, in each case only to the extent arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring prior to the Closing Date.  Each of the Releasors hereby agrees that federal or state laws, rights, rules or legal principles of any other jurisdiction which may be applicable thereto, to the extent that they apply to the matters released hereby, are knowingly and voluntarily waived and relinquished by such Releasors, to the full extent that such rights and benefits pertaining to the matters released herein may be waived, and each of the Releasors hereby agrees and acknowledges that this waiver is an essential term of this Agreement, without Agents and Lenders would not have entered into this Agreement.  Each of the Releasors represents and warrants that it has not purported to transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise convey any of its right, title or interest in any matter released hereby to any other person.  In connection with the release in this Agreement, each of the Releasors acknowledges that it is aware it may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from those which such Loan Parties now knows or believes to be true, with respect to the matters released herein.  Nevertheless, it is each of the Releasors’ intent in executing this Agreement to fully, finally and forever release and settle such matters to the extent they arise out of any matter, cause or event occurring prior to the Closing Date.  In making this release, each of the Releasors has consulted with counsel concerning the effect thereof.

 

13.27.2    Limited Waiver.  Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4, the Borrower and Guarantor hereby represent and warrant that no Default or Event of Default with respect to such Borrower or Guarantor has occurred and continues to exist other than any Default or Event of Default arising out of the facts and circumstances described on Schedule 13.27.2.  In reliance upon such representation and warranty, the undersigned Lenders hereby waive any Defaults or Events of Default arising under the Existing Credit Agreement and continuing to exist thereunder immediately prior to the occurrence of the Closing Date and immediately prior to giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Prior Events of Default”).  Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, the waiver set forth herein shall be limited precisely as written and relates solely to the noncompliance by the Borrowers and Guarantor with respect to the Prior Events of Default in the manner and to the extent described in this paragraph, and nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to (a) constitute a waiver of compliance by Borrowers and Guarantor with respect to any term, provision or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein or (b) prejudice any right or

 

82



 

remedy that the Agent, Issuing Lender, any Agent or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions on the Closing Date.  The waiver with respect to any Default or Events of Default arising out of the facts and circumstances described on Schedule 13.27.2 shall be effective only if on or before October 3, 2008 the actions described in Schedule 13.27.2 are taken and, if such actions are taken, such waiver shall also be effective with respect to the period between the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 and the effectiveness of the waiver with respect to the facts and circumstances described in Section 13.27.2.

 

13.28       Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

D.       In connection with the Existing Loan Agreement, Guarantor executed and delivered that certain Guaranty dated January 24, 2006, for the benefit of Lenders (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “January 2006 Guaranty,” and collectively with the Original Guaranty hereafter referred to as the “Existing Guaranties”) guarantying the Obligations as such term is defined in the January 2006 Guaranty;

H.       As a condition to Lenders agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Lenders are requiring Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty to continue its guaranty of the Obligations (as hereafter define) and to continue to secure its guaranty thereof with a first priority lien on all of its deposit accounts held at a Lender as provided for herein, pursuant to that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith among Master Borrower, Affiliate Grantors (as defined therein) and Agent for each of the Lenders, and in the Loan Documents;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound and primarily liable therefore, and to induce Lenders to make or continue to make Loans to or for the benefit of Master Borrower and Borrowers or in respect of which Master Borrower or Borrower are, may be or may become liable to Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, Guarantor hereby agrees that the Existing Guaranties are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

1.     OBLIGORS.  The “Obligors” means Master Borrower, and each of the other Borrower entities from time to time party to the Loan Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

 

2.     OBLIGATIONS.  The “Obligations” means all existing and hereafter incurred or arising Indebtedness, whether absolute or contingent, direct or indirect, including without limitation all interest, expenses, costs (including collection costs) and fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees and prepayment fees) incurred, arising or accruing (whether prior or subsequent to the filing of any bankruptcy petition by or against any Obligor) under or in connection with any of the foregoing.  If the term “Obligor” includes more than one person or entity, the Obligations shall include all Obligations of any one or more of such persons or entities, whether such Obligations are individual, joint, several or joint and several.

 

3.     UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY.  In consideration of the existing Obligations, Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, absolutely and unconditionally guaranties and is surety to Lenders for the payment, performance and satisfaction when due (whether by stated maturity, demand, acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations.  The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue in full force and effect irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of any agreements, notes or documents pursuant to which any of the Obligations arise, or the existence, value or condition of any collateral for any of the Obligations, or of any other guaranty of the Obligations, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.

 

4.     COST OF ENFORCEMENT.  Guarantor agrees to pay Agent and Lenders all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) at any time incurred by Lenders in the enforcement of this Guaranty against Guarantor.

2



 

6.     CONTINUING GUARANTY.  This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect with respect to Guarantor until all Obligations have been paid, performed and satisfied in full.

 

7.     WAIVERS AND CONSENTS BY GUARANTOR.  Guarantor unconditionally consents to, and waives as a defense to liability hereunder, each of the following:  (a) any waiver, inaction, delay or lack of diligence by Agent or Lenders in enforcing their rights against any Obligor or in any property, or the unenforceability of any such rights, including any failure to perfect, protect or preserve any lien or security interest which may be intended directly or indirectly to secure any of the Obligations, and the absence of notice thereof to Guarantor, (b) the absence of any notice of the incurrence or existence of any Obligation, (c) any action, and the absence of notice thereof to Guarantor, taken by Agent or Lenders or any Obligor with respect to any of the Obligations, including any release, subordination or substitution of any collateral or release, termination, compromise, modification or amendment of any instrument executed by or applicable to any Obligor or of any claim, right or remedy against any Obligor or any property, (d) any impairment of Guarantor’s right to reimbursement by way of subrogation, indemnification or contribution, (e) any other action taken or omitted by Agent and Lenders in good faith with respect to the Obligations, (f) the absence or inadequacy of any formalities of every kind in connection with enforcement of the Obligations, including presentment, demand, notice and protest, and (g) the waiver of any rights of Agent and Lenders under or any action taken or omitted by Agent or Lenders with respect to any other guaranty of the Obligations.

 

8.     OTHER AGREEMENTS BY GUARANTOR.  Guarantor agrees that there shall be no requirement that Lenders document their acceptance of this Guaranty, evidence its reliance thereon, or that Lenders take any action against any person or any property prior to taking action against Guarantor.  Guarantor further agrees that Lenders’ rights and remedies hereunder shall not be impaired or subject to any stay, suspension or other delay as a result of any Obligor’s insolvency or as a result of any proceeding applicable to any Obligor or any Obligor’s property under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.  Guarantor also agrees that payments and other reductions on the Obligations may be applied to such of the Obligations and in such order as Lenders may elect.

 

9.     SUBROGATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS.  Guarantor will not exercise any rights with respect to Lenders or any Obligor related to or acquired in connection with or as a result of its making of this Guaranty which it may acquire by way of subrogation, indemnification or contribution, by reason of payment made by it hereunder or otherwise, until after the date on which all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied in full, and until such time any such rights against Borrowers shall be fully subordinate in lien and payment to any claim in connection with the Obligations which Lenders now or hereafter have against any Obligor.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation, indemnification or contribution at any time when all of the Obligations and all other expenses guaranteed pursuant hereto shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lenders, shall be segregated from the other funds of Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent to be applied in whole or in part by Lenders against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lenders shall determine in their discretion pursuant to the Loan Agreement.  If Guarantor shall make payment to Agent or Lenders of all or any portion of the Obligations and all of the Obligations shall be paid in full, Guarantor’s right of subrogation

 

3



 

shall be without recourse to and without any implied warranties by Agent or Lenders and shall remain fully subject and subordinate to Lenders’ right to collect any other amounts which may thereafter become due to Lenders by the Borrowers in connection with the Obligations.

 

10.   REINSTATEMENT OF LIABILITY.  If any claim is made upon the Agent or Lenders for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or Lenders in payment or on account of any Obligations and Lenders repay all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Lenders or any of their property, or (b) any settlement or compromise in good faith with any such claimant (including Obligor), then and in such event Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Guarantor, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and Guarantor shall remain liable to the Lenders hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Lenders.

 

11.   SECURITY INTEREST.  Guarantor hereby grants to each Lender a security interest in any deposit account of Guarantor and any other account of Guarantor and any balance of assets in any such account, in each case in or with such Lender whenever and so long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding and unpaid and agrees that the security interest hereby granted shall be independent of the right of setoff, but the application of any proceeds thereof shall be governed by the Loan Agreement.

 

12.   EFFECT OF OTHER AGREEMENTS.  The provisions of this Guaranty are cumulative and concurrent with Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies against Guarantor under any existing or future agreement pertaining to or evidencing any of the Obligations.  No such additional agreement shall be deemed a modification or waiver hereof unless expressly so agreed by Lenders in writing in accordance with the Loan Agreement.  If Agent or Lenders hold any other guaranty or surety agreement applicable to any of the Obligations, the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several with each party obligated on such other guaranty or surety agreement, unless otherwise agreed by Lenders in writing in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

13.   NOTICES.  All notices given under this Guaranty shall be given in the manner to the addresses set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

14.   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

 

14.1    Guarantor hereby makes for the benefit of Lenders each of the representations and warranties made in the Loan Agreement by Master Borrower and Borrowers with regard to Guarantor and incorporates such representations and warranties herein by reference, including, without limitation, as to its assets, financial condition, operations, organization, legal status, and business.  Guarantor further represents and warrants that no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Guaranty or, if required, has been obtained, and this Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered

so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

14.2    Guarantor agrees that, so long as any part of the Obligations shall remain unpaid, Guarantor will, perform or observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents that Guarantor is required or obligated to perform or observe or that Borrowers are required to cause Guarantor to perform or observe.

 

15.      EXISTING GUARANTIES; NO NOVATION.  This Guaranty supersedes, amends and restates in full, the Existing Guaranties and all prior amendments thereof.  The Obligations referred to herein includes all of the Obligations outstanding pursuant to the Existing Guaranties immediately prior to the execution of this Guaranty, and the parties acknowledge and agree that this Guaranty is not intended to, nor shall it, constitute a novation.  Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all references to the Guaranty in any Loan Document heretofore executed by Guarantor, Master Borrower or any Borrower shall mean and refer to the Existing Guaranties, as amended and restated by this Guaranty.

 

16.      MISCELLANEOUS.

 

16.1    No amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Guarantor and Agent and has been approved by Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.  No waiver of any provisions of this Guaranty, and no waiver or consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Agent after receipt of Lenders’ approval in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

16.2    Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

 

16.3    The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any related or unrelated claim which Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Agent or any Lender or any Obligor, except payment of the Obligations, and shall not be affected by any change in any Obligor’s legal status or ownership or by any change in corporate, partnership or other organizational structure applicable to any Obligor.

 

16.4    This Guaranty shall (i) be binding on Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and (ii) inure, together with all rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, to the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.  Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), none of the rights or obligations of Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred.

 

16.5    This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws, and not the law of conflicts, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

SECTION 7.      Secured Party May Perform.

 

If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may, if such agreement is not performed by such Grantor within ten days after written notice of such failure is given by Secured Party to such Grantor, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantors under Section 11(b) hereof

 

SECTION 8.      Standard of Care.

 

The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall rave no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property.

 

SECTION 9.      Remedies.

 

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (ii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (iii) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account constituting part of the Collateral maintained with Secured Party or any Lender, (iv) without notice to any Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral constituting Pledged Debt, and (v) and take all action necessary to receive payments from the federal and any state government with respect to such Collateral, and exercise any and all authority granted by Department of Treasury Form 234, General Power of Attorney By a Corporation For the Collection of Certain Checks Drawn on the United States Treasury, and any equivalent forms issued by any state taxing authority.  Secured Party or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable

 

6



 

injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.

 

SECTION 10.      Application of Proceeds.

 

Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priority:

 

FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to Secured Party and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Secured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Secured Party hereunder for the account of Grantors, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;

 

SECOND: To the payment of all other Secured Obligations (for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof) and, as to obligations arising under the Credit Agreement, as provided in the Credit Agreement; and

 

THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of Company, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

 

SECTION 11.      Indemnity and Expenses.

(b)      Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured Party may incur in connection with the custody or preservation of the Collateral, the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder or the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof

 

7



 

(c)      The obligations of Grantors in this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors’ other obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 12.      Amendments; Etc.

 

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification or any waiver given by Grantors, by Grantors; provided this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 22 hereof and Grantors hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in given and delivered in accordance with Section 13.10 of the Credit Agreement.

All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

SECTION 15.      Severability.

 

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in ,any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
