GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Designation and Principal Amount.

The Notes are hereby authorized and are designated the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013, unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, which amount

- 6 -

shall be set forth in the written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture. In addition, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, additional Notes ranking equally and ratably with the Notes issued hereunder in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest following the Issue Date of such further Notes), so that such further Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and shall be governed by the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.02. Maturity.

The principal amount of the Notes will be payable on June 15, 2013.

Section 2.03. Form and Payment.

The Notes will be issued as global notes, in fully registered book-entry form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, on the global notes representing the Notes will be made to The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”).

The global notes representing the Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and will be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. No global note may be transferred except as a whole by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be the sole Holder of the Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided herein, each actual purchaser of each Note represented by a global note (“Beneficial Owner”) will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no global note representing the Notes shall be exchangeable or transferable. Accordingly, each Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Beneficial Owner is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such Beneficial Owner owns its interest in order to exercise any rights of a Holder under such global note or the Indenture.

The global notes representing the Notes will be exchangeable for certificated Notes of like tenor and terms and of differing authorized denominations aggregating a like principal amount, only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the global debt securities, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor to the Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the global notes shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes and notifies the Trustee in writing of such determination or (iv) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes. Upon any such exchange, the certificated Notes shall be registered in the names of the Beneficial Owners of the global notes representing the Notes, which names shall be provided by the Depositary’s relevant participants (as identified by the

- 7 -

Depositary) to the Trustee. In such event the Company will execute, and subject to Section 303 of the Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global notes in exchange for such global notes. Upon the exchange of the global notes for such Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the global notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the global notes shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Notes to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

Section 2.04. Interest.

The Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 6.875% per year. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from June 6, 2006, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided upon for the Notes, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semiannually in arrears on December 15 and June 15, commencing December 15, 2006 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on December 1 and June 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Subject to Section 6.08, the obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: (1) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise, or any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) any modification or amendment of or supplement hereto or to the Indenture; (3)  any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (4) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Company or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in connection herewith or any

- 13 -

unrelated transactions; (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related hereto or to the Indenture or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Indenture; (6) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or any Holder’s rights with respect thereto; or (7) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 6.04. Discharge, Release and Reinstatement of Guarantee In Certain Circumstances.

(1) Subject to Sections 6.04(2) and (3), each of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to any series of Notes shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such series of Notes shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company or any other party hereunder or under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(2) In the event a Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, consolidation, the sale of its capital stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Guarantor is the surviving corporation in such transaction to a Person which is not the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, such Guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee if:

(i) the sale or other disposition is in compliance with the Indenture; and

(ii) all the obligations of such Guarantor under any agreements relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of such transaction.

(3) In the event that any Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in the Homebuilding Segment, such Guarantor shall be released and discharged from all obligations under this Article Six without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder; provided that at the time of and immediately after such Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in the Homebuilding Segment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any series of Notes.

The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and upon receipt an Opinion of Counsel that the provisions of Sections 6.04(2) or (3) have been complied with, deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with Sections

- 14 -

6.04(2) or (3). Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and the other obligations of the Company hereunder as provided in this Article Six.

Section 6.05. Waivers.

Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

Section 6.06. Subordination; Subrogation.

Each of the Guarantors hereby subordinates to the Guaranteed Obligations all Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or of any other Guarantor to such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise, against the Company arising out of or by reason of this Article Six or the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payment or securing or purchasing of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any of the Guarantors unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 6.07. Stay of Acceleration.

If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms hereof or the Indenture shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Holders.

Section 6.08. Limitation on Obligations.

(1) The provisions of this Article Six are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Article Six would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Article Six, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Six to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or the Holders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 6.08(1) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Holders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 6.08(1) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.

- 15 -

(2) Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Guarantors, without impairing this Article Six or affecting the rights and remedies of the Holders hereunder. Nothing in this Section 6.08(2) shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

(3) In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Article Six or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Article Six, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Company after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Company after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this Section 6.08(3) shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Article Six from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 6.08(3) are for the benefit of both the Holders and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 6.09. Default and Enforcement.

If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 6.01, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor the obligations.

Section 6.10. Amendment, Etc.

No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Supplemental Indenture relating to any Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee.

- 16 -

Section 6.11. Acknowledgment.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same.

Section 6.12. Costs and Expenses.

Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Guarantee.

Section 6.13. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Supplemental Indenture. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and under this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 6.14. Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Supplemental Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

Section 6.15. Severability.

Any provision of this Article Six which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Supplemental Indenture and this Article Six.

Section 6.16. Successors and Assigns.

Each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

Section 6.17. Acknowledgement under the Trust Indenture Act.

- 17 -

Each Guarantor acknowledges that, by virtue of its Guarantee, it is becoming an “obligor” on indenture securities under the Trust Indenture Act.

ARTICLE SEVEN

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

In addition to the Events of Default set out in Section 501 of the Indenture, the Notes shall also be subject to the following Events of Default:

(i) the occurrence of any event that results in the acceleration of any of the Company’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, that has an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more in the aggregate; and

(ii) a default in the payment of any principal or interest in respect of any of the Company’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, that has an outstanding principal amount of $20 million or more and the continuation of that default for ten Business Days from the date the principal or interest payment became due and payable, after giving effect to any applicable grace period provided for in the documents governing the indebtedness.

ARTICLE EIGHT

DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE

In addition to the defeasance and discharge provisions set out in Section 403 of the Indenture, the following defeasance provision shall apply to the Notes:

The Company may, at its option and at any time (including the exercise by the Company of a Covenant Defeasance (as defined herein)), elect to have its obligations discharged with respect to the Notes (“Legal Defeasance”). In the event of a Legal Defeasance with respect to the Notes, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all outstanding Notes and the provisions of this Indenture as it relates to such Outstanding Notes (except to (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Notes to receive from the trust funds described in subparagraph (i) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Notes on the Stated Maturity of such principal of (and premiums, if any) or interest or any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Notes on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and of such Notes, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 of the Indenture, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee under the Indenture, including without limitation Section 607 of the Indenture and (D) Article Four of the Base Indenture, which in each case shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder) shall no longer be in effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, provided that the conditions set out below have been satisfied.

- 18 -

In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company with respect to the Notes be released with respect to covenants provided with respect to the Notes under Sections 301(14) or 901(2) of the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, provided that the conditions set out below have been satisfied. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those events described under Section 501 of the Base Indenture and Article Seven of this Supplemental Indenture will no longer constitute an Event of Default.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(i) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another corporate trustee appointed by the Company satisfying the requirements of Section 609 of the Indenture who shall have agreed to comply with the provisions of Article Four of the Base Indenture applicable to it), irrevocably (irrespective of whether the conditions in Subsections (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) below have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of Section 402(c) and the last paragraph of Section 1003 of the Indenture), as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, with reference to this provision, (A) moneys in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment moneys in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (B) or (C) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or such other corporate trustee, as the case may be) to pay and discharge, at maturity or upon redemption, the principal of, any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to Notes (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

(ii) the conditions in Subsections (2), (3) and (5) of Section 403 of the Indenture have been satisfied;

(iii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and

- 19 -

in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(v) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with;

(vi) if such Notes are to be redeemed prior to final maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to the Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made; and

(vii) if such deposit is to be made with a trustee, other than the Trustee, pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, such other trustee shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate satisfactory in form to the Trustee stating that such deposit has been made in accordance with the provisions of Article Four of the Base Indenture and that such other trustee agrees to comply with the provisions of Article Four of the Base Indenture and the last paragraph of Section 1003 applicable to it, and the Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon such certificate.

In the event that any other trustee is appointed by the Company pursuant to Subsection (i) above, the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the performance by such other trustee of its duties or with respect to any monies or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with such other trustee.

Additionally, all references in the Indenture to Section 403 shall, vis-à-vis the Notes, be deemed to include amounts set aside as provided herein for a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance.
