D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
December 31, 2005
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”), as well as certain variable interest entities from which we are purchasing land or lots under option purchase contracts. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.
Seasonality - Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Business - The Company is a national homebuilder that is engaged primarily in the construction and sale of single-family housing in 77 markets and 26 states in the United States. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family houses on lots developed by the Company and on finished lots which it purchases, ready for home construction. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots it has developed or bought. The Company also provides title agency and mortgage brokerage services to its homebuyers. The Company does not retain or service the mortgages that it originates but, rather, sells the mortgages and related servicing rights to investors.
Stock Split – In February 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a four-for-three stock split (effected as a 33 1 / 3 % stock dividend), paid on March 16, 2005 to common stockholders of record on March 1, 2005. The earnings per share and cash dividends declared per share for the three months ended December 31, 2004 have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split.
NOTE B — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s reportable business segments consist of homebuilding and financial services. Homebuilding is the Company’s core business, generating 98% of consolidated revenues and 96% of consolidated income before income taxes during both three-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The homebuilding reporting segment is comprised of the aggregate of the Company’s regional homebuilding operations and generates most of its revenues from the sale of completed homes, with a lesser amount from the sale of land and lots. The financial services segment generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

December 31, 2005
NOTE C — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding.
The following table sets forth the denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    December 31,  
    2005     2004  
    (In millions)  
Denominator for basic earnings per share— weighted average shares
    312.9       311.3  
Effect of dilutive securities:
               
Employee stock options
    4.7       5.7  
 
           
Denominator for diluted earnings per share— adjusted weighted average shares
    317.6       317.0  
 
           
In February 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a four-for-three stock split (effected as a 33 1 / 3 % stock dividend), paid on March 16, 2005 to common stockholders of record on March 1, 2005. The share amounts presented above reflect the effects of the four-for-three stock split.
Options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at $36.92 outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2005 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive. All options outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2004 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
NOTE D — CONSOLIDATED LAND INVENTORY NOT OWNED
In the ordinary course of its homebuilding business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Under such option purchase contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of the option purchase contracts, many of the option deposits are not refundable at the Company’s discretion. Under the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46), certain of the Company’s option purchase contracts result in the creation of a variable interest in the entity holding the land parcel under option.
In applying the provisions of FIN 46, the Company evaluates those land and lot option purchase contracts with variable interest entities to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary based upon analysis of the variability of the expected gains and losses of the entity. Based on this evaluation, if the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity with which the Company has entered into a land or lot option purchase contract, the variable interest entity is consolidated.
The consolidation of these variable interest entities and other inventory obligations added $173.9 million in land inventory not owned and minority interests related to entities not owned to the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2005. The Company’s obligations related to these land or lot option contracts are guaranteed by cash deposits totaling $20.0 million and performance letters of credit, promissory notes and surety bonds totaling $7.2 million. Creditors of these variable interest entities have no recourse against the Company.

December 31, 2005
At December 31, 2005, including the deposits with the variable interest entities above, the Company had deposits amounting to $324.9 million to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of $6.2 billion. For the variable interest entities which are unconsolidated because the Company is not subject to a majority of the risk of loss or entitled to receive a majority of the entities’ residual returns, the maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to the amounts of the Company’s option deposits, which totaled $226.3 million at December 31, 2005.
NOTE E — NOTES PAYABLE

The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a universal shelf registration statement registering $3.0 billion in debt and equity securities effective in September 2005. At December 31, 2005, the capacity to issue new debt or equity securities remained at $3.0 billion.
Homebuilding:
In December 2005, the Company entered into a $2.15 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $1.0 billion letter of credit sub-facility. The revolving credit facility has an uncommitted $750 million accordion feature which could be used to increase the facility to $2.9 billion. The new credit facility, which matures on December 16, 2010, replaced the Company’s previous $1.21 billion credit facility. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the new facility is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s borrowing capacity under the facility was $1.44 billion. The facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries other than its financial services subsidiaries. Borrowings bear interest at

rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread based upon the Company’s ratio of homebuilding debt to total capitalization and its senior unsecured debt rating. The interest rate applicable to the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2005 was 5.3% per annum. In addition to the stated interest rates, the revolving credit facility requires the Company to pay certain fees.
The bank credit facilities and the indentures for most of the senior and senior subordinated notes contain covenants which, taken together, limit cash dividends, certain investments, stock repurchases and other restricted payments, asset dispositions, and creation of liens, and require certain levels of leverage, interest coverage and tangible net worth. At December 31, 2005, under the most restrictive covenants, cash dividend payments for the remainder of fiscal 2006 were limited to $707.1 million, and a maximum of $1.5 billion was available for all restricted payments in the future.
Financial Services:
The Company’s mortgage subsidiary has a $300 million mortgage warehouse loan facility that matures April 7, 2006. During fiscal 2005, the Company obtained additional commitments of $150 million from its lenders through the facility’s accordion provision and additional temporary commitments of $225 million from its lenders through amendments to the credit agreement, resulting in total capacity of $675 million at September 30, 2005. Through amendments to the credit agreement in October and November 2005, the commitments under the facility were adjusted to $450 million, effective from October 28, 2005 through January 15, 2006. On January 16, 2006, the total capacity returned to $300 million. On January 30, 2006, the Company obtained additional commitments of $150 million from its lenders through an amendment to the credit agreement, resulting in total capacity of $450 million through the maturity of the facility on April 7, 2006.
The mortgage warehouse facility is secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale and is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the guarantors of its homebuilding debt. Borrowings bear daily interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a fixed premium. The interest rate of the mortgage warehouse line payable at December 31, 2005 was 5.2% per annum.
The Company’s mortgage subsidiary also has a $500 million commercial paper conduit facility (the CP conduit facility), that expires on June 29, 2006. A temporary increase of $200 million was obtained through amendments to the credit agreement in September 2005, resulting in a total capacity of $700 million. The temporary increase was effective through October 14, 2005, when the capacity decreased to $600 million available through November 10, 2005. Beginning on November 11, 2005, the total capacity returned to $500 million.
The CP conduit facility is secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale and is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the guarantors of its homebuilding debt. The mortgage loans assigned to secure the CP conduit facility are used as collateral for asset backed commercial paper issued by multi-seller conduits in the commercial paper market. The interest rate of the CP conduit facility at December 31, 2005 was 4.8% per annum.

NOTE H — MORTGAGE LOANS
Mortgage Loans - Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. Loans that have been closed but not committed to a third-party investor are matched with either forward sales of mortgage backed securities (FMBS) or Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) that are designated as fair value hedges. Hedged loans are either committed to third-party investors within three days of origination or pooled and committed in bulk to third-party investors typically within 30 days of origination. The notional amounts of the FMBS and the EDFC used to hedge mortgage loans held for sale can vary in relationship to the underlying loan amounts, depending on the typical movements in the value of each hedging instrument relative to the value of the underlying mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $196.6 million in loans not committed to third-party investors which were hedged with $317.5 million of FMBS and EDFC.

Loan Commitments - To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is party to interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 and related Derivatives Implementation Group conclusions, the Company classifies and accounts for IRLCs as non-designated derivative instruments at fair value. The effectiveness of the fair value hedges is continuously monitored and any ineffectiveness, which for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s IRLCs totaled $489.9 million.
The Company manages interest rate risk related to its IRLCs through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of Eurodollar futures contracts. These instruments are considered non-designated derivatives and are accounted for at fair market value with gains and losses recorded in current earnings. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $91.0 million outstanding of FMBS and EDFC, and $363.7 million of best efforts whole loan delivery commitments related to its IRLCs.
NOTE I — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
During the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share, which was paid on October 31, 2005 to stockholders of record on October 20, 2005. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share (split-adjusted) was declared during the three months ended December 31, 2004.
In January 2006, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable on February 10, 2006 to stockholders of record on January 27, 2006. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.0675 per common share (split-adjusted) was declared in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2005.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had the capacity to issue new debt or equity securities amounting to $3.0 billion under its universal shelf registration statement. Also, at December 31, 2005, the Company had the capacity to issue approximately 22.5 million shares of common stock under its acquisition shelf registration statement, to effect, in whole or in part, possible future business acquisitions.
In November 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock, replacing the previous common stock repurchase authorization. During the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $36.8 million. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $463.2 million remaining of the Board of Directors’ authorization for repurchases of common stock.
On January 26, 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s charter which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock to one billion shares.
NOTE J — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” which requires that companies measure and recognize compensation expense at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants since all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123(R) was adopted using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, compensation

expense must be recognized for any unvested stock option awards outstanding as of the date of adoption on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. The fair values of the options are calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Results of prior periods have not been restated. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s compensation expense related to stock option grants was $2.5 million. At December 31, 2005, there was $59.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 7.1 years. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported in the Statement of Cash Flows as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow as previously reported.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires disclosure of pro forma information for periods prior to the adoption. The following table sets forth the effect on net income and earnings per share as if SFAS No. 123(R) had been applied to the three-month period ended December 31, 2004:

The Company Stock Incentive Plans provide for the granting of stock options to certain key employees of the Company to purchase shares of common stock. Options are granted at exercise prices which equal the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options generally expire 10 years after the dates on which they were granted. Options generally vest over periods of 5 to 9.75 years. The following table provides additional information related to the Company Stock Incentive Plans:

On January 26, 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved the D.R. Horton, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which replaced the Company’s 1991 Stock Incentive Plan. The aggregate number of shares available under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan include the new authorization of 28.0 million shares, plus 1.9 million shares that remained available for awards under the 1991 Stock Incentive Plan on that date. Total shares available for awards under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan are subject to increase by subsequent specified terminations of awards under the 1991 Stock Incentive Plan that were outstanding on January 26, 2006. For awards other than options or stock appreciation rights, availability will be reduced at the rate of 1.75 shares for each share subject to the award.
NOTE K — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The statement requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to prior periods’ financial statements unless it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes , to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (FSP 109-1). The American Jobs Creation Act, which was signed into law in October 2004, provides a tax deduction on qualified domestic production activities. When fully phased-in, the deduction will be up to 9% of the lesser of “qualified production activities income” or taxable income. Based on the guidance provided by FSP 109-1, this deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS No. 109 and will reduce tax expense in the period or periods that the amounts are deductible on the tax return. The tax benefit resulting from the new deduction was effective beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006, and is reflected in the effective income tax rate of 38.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, reduced from 38.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this law on its future financial statements and currently estimates the fiscal 2006 reduction in its federal income tax rate from fiscal 2005 will be in the range of 0.50% to 0.75% of taxable income.

NOTE L — CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company has been named as defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including warranty and construction defect claims on closed homes. The Company has established reserves for such contingencies, based on the expected costs of the self-insured portion of such claims. The Company’s estimates of such reserves are based on the facts and circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends, including estimates of the costs of unreported claims related to past operations. These reserve estimates are subject to ongoing revision as the circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends change. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.
Management believes that, while the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, the liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds management’s estimates reflected in the reserves relating to such matter, the Company could incur additional charges that could be significant.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. At December 31, 2005, the Company had cash deposits of $293.8 million, promissory notes of $19.0 million, and letters of credit and surety bonds of $12.1 million to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of $6.2 billion. Only $148.6 million of the $6.2 billion in land and lot option purchase contracts contain specific performance clauses which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land seller meeting certain obligations. The majority of land and lots under contract are expected to be purchased within three years.
Additionally, in the normal course of its business activities, the Company provides standby letters of credit and surety bonds, issued by third parties, to secure performance under various contracts. At December 31, 2005, outstanding standby letters of credit were $127.4 million and surety bonds were $2.0 billion.

NOTE M — SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
All of the Company’s senior and senior subordinated notes and the $2.15 billion unsecured revolving credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (Guarantor Subsidiaries), other than financial services subsidiaries and certain other inconsequential subsidiaries (collectively, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is wholly-owned. In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, consolidated condensed financial statements are presented below. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.
Certain balances in the following Consolidating Statement of Income and Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2004 have been revised to conform with the current presentation and the presentation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. These revisions primarily consist of separate reporting of equity in income of subsidiaries and other income/expense in the Consolidating Statement of Income and the reclassification of equity in income of subsidiaries from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows. Such reclassifications on the Statement of Cash Flows resulted in a decrease in operating cash flows and an increase in financing cash flows for the D.R. Horton, Inc. column of $208.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are the largest homebuilding company in the United States based on domestic homes closed in 2005. We construct and sell single-family homes in metropolitan areas in 26 states and 77 markets primarily under the name of D.R. Horton, America’s Builder . Our homebuilding operations primarily include the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices generally ranging from $90,000 to $900,000. Approximately 84% of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of single-family detached homes for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The remainder of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums (including some mid-rise buildings), which share common walls and roofs.
Through our financial services operations, we provide mortgage banking and title agency services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets. DHI Mortgage, our wholly-owned subsidiary, provides mortgage financing services principally to purchasers of homes we build and sell. We originate mortgage loans, then package and sell them and their servicing rights to third-party investors shortly after origination. Our subsidiary title companies serve as title insurance agents by providing title insurance policies, examination and closing services primarily to purchasers of homes we build and sell.
Our operating strategy in fiscal 2006 remains focused on taking advantage of opportunities to grow our homebuilding business profitability through capturing greater market share, while continuing to maintain a strong balance sheet. We plan to execute our growth strategy primarily by investing our available capital in our existing homebuilding markets through our capital allocation process and entering new markets, mainly through the opening of satellite operations in smaller markets near our existing operating divisions, as opportunities are available. We will also continue to evaluate homebuilding acquisition opportunities as they arise.

We experienced increases in revenues and earnings during the three months ended December 31, 2005 (the first quarter of fiscal 2006), as compared to the same period of fiscal 2005, driven by the continued growth of our homebuilding operations and by improvements in homebuilding profit margins. Key financial highlights as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:
    Net sales orders increased 19% to $3.2 billion
 
    Sales order backlog increased 30% to $6.2 billion
 
    Consolidated revenue increased 15% to $2.9 billion
 
    Homebuilding operating margin (homebuilding income before income taxes divided by total homebuilding revenues) improved 180 basis points to 16.9%
 
    Net income increased 29% to $310.1 million
 
    Diluted earnings per share increased 29% to $0.98 per share

Net Sales Orders and Backlog
Net sales orders represent the number and dollar value of new sales contracts executed with customers, net of sales contract cancellations. The value of net sales orders increased 19%, to $3,166.8 million (11,463 homes) for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $2,655.7 million (9,901 homes) for the same period of 2004. The number and value of net sales orders during the three-month period increased in each of our five market regions, reflecting the successful execution of our organic growth strategies and the generally solid demand for our homes. The largest percentage increases in the value of net sales orders during the three-month period occurred in our Southwest and Midwest regions, which achieved increases of 37% and 25%, respectively. The increase in the value of net sales orders in our Southwest region was due to particularly strong sales performances from our operating divisions in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The increase in the value of net sales orders in our Midwest region, which also generated our largest percentage increase in the number of net sales orders of 30%, was due to strong sales increases from our Chicago division.
The average price of a net sales order in the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $276,300, up 3% from the $268,200 average in the comparable period of 2004. The overall increase in the average price of a net sales order was due to increases of 13% in both our Southeast and Southwest regions. Our other three regions experienced slight decreases in average net sales order prices, reflecting our efforts to continually adjust our product and geographic mix and pricing within many of our homebuilding markets to ensure that our core product offerings remain affordable for our target customer base, typically first-time and move-up homebuyers. In the West region, home price appreciation in many California markets more than offset the impact of our product affordability strategies during fiscal 2005, resulting in an increase in the average sales order price in the region. During the three months ended December 31, 2005, home price appreciation moderated in several of these California markets, which contributed to the decline in the West region average sales order price during the quarter.
Sales order backlog represents homes under contract but not yet closed at the end of the period. Some of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies, including mortgage loan approval, which can result in cancellations. In the past, our backlog has been a reliable indicator of the level of closings in our two subsequent fiscal quarters, although some contracts in backlog will not result in closings.
At December 31, 2005, the value of our backlog of sales orders was $6,213.0 million (20,816 homes), up 30% from $4,775.2 million (17,405 homes) at December 31, 2004. The average sales price of homes in backlog was $298,500 at December 31, 2005, up 9% from the $274,400 average at December 31, 2004. All regions produced double-digit percentage increases in the value of sales order backlog, led by increases of 57% in our Southwest region and 49% in our Midwest region, as a result of particularly strong sales in both regions.
Home Sales Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenues from home sales increased 14%, to $2,789.1 million (9,891 homes closed) for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $2,449.1 million (9,680 homes closed) for the comparable period of 2004. The average selling price of homes we closed during the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $282,000, up 11% from $253,000 for the same period in 2004. Revenues from home sales increased in all five of our market regions, due to our continued execution of our organic growth strategies in most of our markets and our ability to increase prices in the markets where demand for our homes is strongest. The number of homes closed increased 2%, with increases in four of our five market regions. Only the Southwest region experienced a decline in home closings during the quarter, due primarily to the extraordinarily strong volume of home closings in several markets in Texas and Arizona during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, which depleted the number of homes available for closing during the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Gross profit from home sales increased by 25%, to $772.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $617.6 million for the comparable period of 2004. Gross profit from home sales as a percentage of home sales revenues increased 250 basis points, to 27.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from 25.2% for the comparable period of 2004. The improvement in gross profit from home sales as a percentage of revenue for the three-month period was attributable to our ability to increase home prices in many of our markets, our ongoing efforts to control and reduce construction costs through our local, regional and national purchasing programs, our

-24-


Table of Contents

ongoing efforts to re-allocate capital to our more profitable markets and a decrease in capitalized interest amortized to cost of sales as a percentage of revenues. Additionally, our home sales revenues and gross profit in the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 benefited from the recognition of $14.9 million which had been previously deferred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 66. Our goal is to increase our gross profits as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005; however, we expect that our gross profit percentage changes will vary from quarter to quarter in fiscal 2006. Our gross profit percentage may not increase as significantly in future quarters as we experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, and it is possible that our gross profit percentage in a future quarter may decline as compared to the same quarter in the prior year or as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Our gross profit percentages in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006 will be determined to a significant extent by our net sales orders during our second and third quarters of fiscal 2006.
Land Sales Revenue and Gross Profit
Land sales revenues increased 111%, to $52.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $25.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The gross profit percentage from land sales increased to 63.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from 37.6% in the comparable period of the prior year. The fluctuations in revenues and gross profit percentages from land sales are a function of how we manage our inventory levels in various markets. We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes on them; however, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels which we typically sell to commercial developers. Our land sales during the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 were primarily commercially zoned properties adjacent to our homebuilding projects in various markets. When we have the opportunity or need to sell land or lots, the resulting land sales occur at unpredictable intervals and varying degrees of profitability. Therefore, the revenues and gross profit from land sales can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from homebuilding activities increased by 26%, to $325.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, from the comparable period of 2004. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, SG&A expenses increased 110 basis points, to 11.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from 10.4% in the comparable period of 2004. Our homebuilding SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues can vary significantly between quarters, depending largely on the relative fluctuations in quarterly revenue levels. Our homebuilding SG&A expense is typically at its highest percentage of revenues in the first fiscal quarter. Throughout fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we increased the infrastructure of our homebuilding operations to support the delivery of over 51,000 homes in fiscal 2005, a 17% increase over the previous year, and in anticipation of further planned growth in home closings in fiscal 2006. Much of our fiscal 2006 growth in home closings is planned to occur during the second half of fiscal 2006. As home closings increased only 2% during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, our SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues increased during the quarter. We expect our SG&A expense ratio to decline later in fiscal 2006 from our first quarter levels.
Interest Expense
Interest incurred related to homebuilding debt increased by 26%, to $73.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $58.5 million in the comparable period of 2004, which primarily resulted from a 21% increase in our average daily homebuilding debt from the prior year period. Interest incurred increased at a faster rate than our debt due to increases over the past year in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which is the basis of our interest rate on our revolving credit facility.
We capitalize interest costs only to inventory under construction or development. During both years, our inventory under construction or development exceeded our interest-bearing debt; therefore, we capitalized virtually all interest from homebuilding debt. Interest amortized to cost of sales was 2.2% of total cost of sales in the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 2.3% in the same period of 2004.

Other Income
Other income, net of other expenses, associated with homebuilding activities was $4.9 million in both of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The major components of other income in both periods were interest income and increases in the fair values of our interest rate swaps.

Mortgage Loan Activity
The volume of loans originated and brokered by our mortgage operations is directly related to the number and value of homes closed by our homebuilding operations. Total first-lien loans originated or brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers increased 6% in the three months ended December 31, 2005, from the comparable period of 2004. This increase was greater than the 2% increase in the number of homes closed because our mortgage capture rate

(the percentage of total home closings from our own homebuyers for which DHI Mortgage handled the financing) increased to 64% in the three months ended December 31, 2005, from 62% in the comparable prior year period.
Home closings from our own homebuyers constituted 93% of DHI Mortgage loan originations in the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 92% in the comparable period of 2004, reflecting DHI Mortgage’s continued focus on supporting the captive business provided by our homebuilding operations.
The number of loans sold to third-party investors increased 49% in the three months ended December 31, 2005 from the comparable period of 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to the high volume of mortgage loans held at September 30, 2005, most of which were sold in the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 and were the result of our homebuilding operations’ significant increase in home closings during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to the same period of fiscal 2004.
Financial Services Revenues and Expenses
Revenues from the financial services segment increased 33% to $61.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, from the comparable period of 2004. The increase in financial services revenues was primarily due to increases in the number of mortgage loans originated and sold, while the average mortgage revenues earned per loan sold remained relatively constant. The majority of the revenues associated with our mortgage operations are recognized when the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors.
General and administrative expenses associated with financial services increased 45% to $47.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, from the comparable period of 2004. As a percentage of financial services revenues, general and administrative expenses was 77.2%, an increase of 610 basis points over the comparable period of 2004. The increase in general and administrative expense as a percentage of financial services revenue was due primarily to our efforts to ensure that our financial services infrastructure will support our planned growth in our homebuilding business, much of which is planned to occur during the second half of fiscal 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONSOLIDATED
Income Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2005, increased 28% from the comparable period of 2004, to $500.1 million. As a percentage of revenues, income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was 17.2%, an increase of 170 basis points from the comparable period of 2004. The primary factor contributing to these improvements was a 180 basis point increase in the homebuilding segment’s pre-tax operating margin, which was slightly offset by a decrease in the pre-tax operating margin of our financial services segment.
Provision for Income Taxes
The consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2005, increased 26% from the comparable period of 2004, to $190.0 million, due to the corresponding increase in income before income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2005 decreased to 38.0%, from 38.5% for the comparable period of 2004, due to the expected tax benefits of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which became effective in our first quarter of fiscal 2006.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
We fund our homebuilding and financial services operations with cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under our bank credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities. As we utilize our capital resources and liquidity to fund the growth of our operations, we have focused on maintaining strong balance sheet leverage ratios.
At December 31, 2005, our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital was 42.3%, increasing from 32.2% at September 30, 2005, and decreasing from 43.4% at December 31, 2004. Net homebuilding debt to total capital

-27-


Table of Contents

consists of homebuilding notes payable net of cash divided by total capital (homebuilding notes payable net of cash plus stockholders’ equity). The increase in our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital at December 31, 2005 as compared with the ratio at September 30, 2005 was due to the decrease in cash and the increase in borrowings associated with funding our planned first quarter increase in inventory, and was partially offset by the increase in retained earnings. The 42.3% net homebuilding debt to total capital ratio at December 31, 2005 is in line with our targeted fiscal year-end operating leverage level of less than 45%.
We believe that the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations and comparing us with other homebuilders. We exclude the debt of our financial services business because the business is separately capitalized, its debt is substantially collateralized and our financial services debt is not guaranteed by our parent company or any of our homebuilding entities. We include cash because of its capital function. For comparison, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, our ratios of homebuilding debt to total capital were 43.4% and 45.7%, respectively. At September 30, 2005, our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital was 40.6%.
We believe that we will be able to continue to fund our homebuilding and financial services operations and our future cash needs (including debt maturities) through a combination of our existing cash resources, cash flows from operations, our existing or renewed credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities through the public capital markets.
Homebuilding Capital Resources
Cash — At December 31, 2005, our available homebuilding cash and cash equivalents amounted to $182.5 million.
Bank Credit Facility – We have a $2.15 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $1.0 billion letter of credit sub-facility, that matures on December 16, 2010. The revolving credit facility has an uncommitted $750 million accordion provision which could be used to increase the facility to $2.9 billion. The facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries other than our financial services subsidiaries. We borrow funds through the revolving credit facility throughout the year to fund working capital requirements, and we repay such borrowings with cash generated from our operations and from the issuance of public debt securities.
We had $600.0 million in cash borrowings outstanding on our homebuilding revolving credit facility at December 31, 2005 and no outstanding borrowings on the facility at December 31, 2004. Under the debt covenants associated with our revolving credit facility, when we have fewer than two investment grade senior unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor’s Corporation, our additional homebuilding borrowing capacity under the facility is limited to the lesser of the unused portion of the facility, $1.44 billion at December 31, 2005, or an amount determined under a borrowing base arrangement. Under the borrowing base limitation, the sum of our senior debt and the amount drawn on our revolving credit facility may not exceed certain percentages of the various categories of our unencumbered inventory. Beginning November 7, 2005, we had the two required investment grade debt ratings, so the borrowing base limitation is not currently in effect. At December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions that form a part of our public debt obligations and our bank revolving credit facility.
Redeemable Public Unsecured Debt – Our 9.375% senior subordinated notes due 2011 become redeemable on March 15, 2006 at their principal amount of $200 million plus a 4.688% premium. Our 10.5% senior subordinated notes due 2011 become redeemable on July 15, 2006 at their principal amount of $144.8 million plus a 5.25% premium. We are currently evaluating whether to redeem these notes during fiscal 2006, as well as our capital resource requirements if we choose to redeem these notes.
Shelf Registration Statements — At December 31, 2005, we had the capacity to issue new debt or equity securities amounting to $3.0 billion under our universal shelf registration statement. Also, at December 31, 2005, we had the capacity to issue approximately 22.5 million shares of common stock under our acquisition shelf registration statement, to effect, in whole or in part, possible future business acquisitions.

Financial Services Capital Resources
Cash — At December 31, 2005, we had available financial services cash and cash equivalents of $42.7 million.
Mortgage Warehouse Loan Facility – Our wholly-owned mortgage company has a $300 million mortgage warehouse loan facility that matures April 7, 2006. During fiscal 2005, we obtained additional commitments of $150 million from our lenders through the facility’s accordion provision and additional temporary commitments of $225 million from our lenders through amendments to the credit agreement, resulting in total capacity of $675 million at September 30, 2005. Through amendments to the credit agreement in October and November 2005, the commitments under the facility were adjusted to $450 million, effective from October 28, 2005 through January 15, 2006. On January 16, 2006, the total capacity returned to $300 million. On January 30, 2006, we obtained additional commitments of $150 million from our lenders through an amendment to the credit agreement, resulting in total capacity of $450 million through the maturity of the facility on April 7, 2006. At December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $419.7 million outstanding under the mortgage warehouse facility.
Our borrowing capacity under this facility is limited to the lesser of the unused portion of the facility or an amount determined under a borrowing base arrangement. Under the borrowing base limitation, the amount drawn on our mortgage warehouse facility may not exceed 98% of all eligible mortgage loans held for sale and made available to the lenders to secure any borrowings under the facility. We are planning to renew and extend this mortgage warehouse loan facility with a group of financial institutions prior to its maturity, at a size and with terms similar to the current facility.
Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – Our wholly-owned mortgage company also has a $500 million commercial paper conduit facility (the “CP conduit facility”), which expires on June 29, 2006. A temporary increase of $200 million was obtained through amendments to the credit agreement in September 2005, resulting in a total capacity of $700 million effective through October 14, 2005, when the capacity decreased to $600 million available through November 10, 2005. Beginning on November 11, 2005, the total capacity returned to $500 million. At December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $395.0 million outstanding under the CP conduit facility. We are evaluating our mortgage subsidiary’s financing needs, and we are planning to renew and extend the CP conduit facility prior to its maturity or ensure sufficient borrowing capacity from other potential debt capital sources.
In the past, we have been able to renew or extend the mortgage warehouse loan facility and the CP conduit facility on satisfactory terms prior to their maturities and obtain temporary additional commitments through amendments of the respective credit agreements during periods of higher than normal volumes of mortgages held for sale. Although we do not anticipate any problems in renewing or extending these facilities or obtaining temporary additional commitments in the future, the liquidity of our financial services business depends upon our continued ability to do so.
The mortgage warehouse loan facility and the CP conduit facility are not guaranteed by either our parent company or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee our homebuilding debt. Borrowings under both facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale. The mortgage loans assigned to secure the CP conduit facility are used as collateral for asset backed commercial paper issued by multi-seller conduits in the commercial paper market. At December 31, 2005, our total mortgage loans held for sale were $907.1 million. All mortgage company activities are financed with the mortgage warehouse facility, the CP conduit facility or internally generated funds. Both of our financial services credit facilities contain financial covenants as to our mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required net income. Our mortgage subsidiary is in compliance with each of these covenants.
Operating Cash Flow Activities
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, we used $1.0 billion of cash in our operating activities, as compared to $559.1 million of cash used in such activities during the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to our decision to fund inventory growth with $1.6 billion to support our planned growth in home closings volume in the remainder of fiscal 2006 and future years.

Table of Contents

A large portion of our cash invested in inventories represents purchases of land and lots that will be used to generate revenues and cash flows in future years. Since we control the amounts and timing of our investments in land and lots based on our inventory growth goals and our market opportunities, we believe that cash flows from operating activities before increases in residential land and lot inventories is currently a better indicator of our liquidity.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, cash used in investing activities represented net purchases of property and equipment, primarily model home furniture and office equipment. Such purchases are not significant relative to our total assets or cash flows and typically do not vary significantly from period to period.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
The majority of our short-term financing needs are funded with cash generated from operations and funds available under our homebuilding and financial services credit facilities. Long-term financing needs are generally funded with the issuance of new senior unsecured debt securities through the public capital markets. Our homebuilding senior and senior subordinated notes and borrowings under our homebuilding revolving credit facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries other than our financial services subsidiaries.
During the three months ended December 31, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share, which was paid on October 31, 2005 to stockholders of record on October 20, 2005. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share (split-adjusted) was declared during the three months ended December 31, 2004.
In January 2006, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable on February 10, 2006 to stockholders of record on January 27, 2006. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.0675 per common share (split-adjusted) was declared in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2005.
Changes in Capital Structure
In November 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common stock and up to $200 million of outstanding debt securities, replacing the previous common stock and debt securities repurchase authorizations. During the three months ended December 31, 2005, we repurchased 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $36.8 million. As of December 31, 2005, we had $463.2 million remaining of the Board of Directors’ authorization for repurchases of common stock and $200 million remaining of the authorization for repurchases of debt securities. We continue to evaluate the amount and timing of our future capital investment alternatives, including common stock repurchases, based on market conditions and other circumstances.
On January 26, 2006, our shareholders approved an amendment to the D.R. Horton, Inc. charter which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock to one billion shares.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option purchase contracts in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Lot option contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. At December 31, 2005, we had $324.9 million in deposits to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of $6.2 billion. Only $148.6 million of the total remaining purchase price was subject to specific performance clauses which may require us to purchase the land or lots upon the land seller meeting certain obligations. Pursuant to FIN 46, we consolidated certain variable interest entities and other inventory obligations with assets of $173.9 million.
In the normal course of business, we provide standby letters of credit and performance bonds, issued by third parties, to secure performance under various contracts. At December 31, 2005, outstanding standby letters of credit and performance bonds, the majority of which mature in less than one year, were $127.4 million and $2.0 billion, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, inventories and cost of sales, the consolidation of variable interest entities, warranty and insurance claim costs, goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Since September 30, 2005, there have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to those critical accounting policies, other than those related to our accounting for stock-based compensation.
On October 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” which requires that companies measure and recognize compensation expense at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, which involve a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected dividend yield and expected stock option exercise behavior. In addition, we also use judgment in estimating the number of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. Prior to October 1, 2005, we accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants since all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

SEASONALITY
We have historically experienced variability in our results of operations from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding business. We typically have closed a greater number of homes in our third and fourth fiscal quarters than in our first and second fiscal quarters. As a result, our revenues and net income have been higher in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. In fiscal 2005, 61% of our consolidated revenues and 64% of our net income were attributable to our operations in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. We expect similar seasonal fluctuations in our results of operations to occur in fiscal 2006; however, we can make no assurances that this trend will continue in this or any future fiscal years. The operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT AND RISKS
Certain statements contained in this report, as well as in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, statements made by us in periodic press releases and oral statements we make to analysts, stockholders and the press in the course of presentations about us, may be construed as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. These forward-looking statements typically include the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “consider,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “objective,” “plan,” “projection,” “seek,” “strategy,” “target” or other words of similar meaning. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this report and in any other of our reports or public statements may not approximate actual experience, and the expectations derived from them may not be realized, due to unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the expectations or results we discuss in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:
    changes in general economic, real estate and other conditions;
 
    changes in interest rates, the availability of mortgage financing or the effective cost of owning a home;
 
    the effects of governmental regulations and environmental matters;
 
    our substantial debt;
 
    competitive conditions within our industry;
 
    the availability of capital;
 
    our ability to effect our growth strategies successfully; and
 
    the uncertainties inherent in warranty and product liability claims matters.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. Additional information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance and risk factors that have the potential to affect us is contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk on our long term debt. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. We have mitigated our exposure to changes in interest rates on our variable rate bank debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to obtain a fixed interest rate for a portion of the variable rate borrowings. We generally do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.
Our interest rate swaps are not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133. We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in the fair values of the swaps, and such changes must be reflected in our income statements.
Our mortgage company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services. Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and who meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs have a duration of less than six months. Some IRLCs are committed immediately to a specific investor through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, while other IRLCs are funded prior to being committed to third-party investors. We manage interest rate risk related to uncommitted IRLCs through the use of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (FMBS) and the purchase of Eurodollar Futures Contracts (EDFC) on certain loan types. FMBS and EDFC related to IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings. FMBS and EDFC related to funded, uncommitted loans are designated as fair value hedges, with changes in the value of the derivative instruments recognized in current earnings, along with changes in the value of the funded, uncommitted loans. The effectiveness of the fair value hedges is continuously monitored and any ineffectiveness, which for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. At December 31, 2005, FMBS and EDFC to mitigate interest rate risk related to uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale and uncommitted IRLCs totaled $408.5 million. Uncommitted IRLCs, the duration of which was less than six months, totaled approximately $126.2 million, and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale totaled approximately $196.6 million at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, the fair value of the FMBS, EDFC and IRLCs was an insignificant amount.
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2005, for our debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair market value. In addition, the table sets forth the notional amounts, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair market value of our interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2005, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a $1.7 million liability.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management has long recognized its responsibilities for developing, implementing and monitoring effective and efficient controls and procedures. As part of those responsibilities, as of December 31, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

4. Effective Date and Termination of Plan
     This Plan was adopted by the Board on November 17, 2005, and it will become effective (the “ Effective Date ”) when it is approved by the Company’s stockholders. All Awards granted under this Plan are subject to, and may not be exercised before, the approval of this Plan by the stockholders prior to the first anniversary date of the adoption date of the Plan, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Company present, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote, at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware; provided that if such approval by the stockholders of the Company is not forthcoming, all Awards previously granted under this Plan shall be void. The Plan shall remain available for the grant of Awards until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may be terminated at such earlier time as the Board may determine. Termination of the Plan will not affect the rights and obligations of the Participants and the Company arising under Awards theretofore granted and then in effect.
5. Shares Subject to the Plan and to Awards
     (a)  Aggregate Limits . The aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to all Awards shall not exceed 28,000,000, plus (i) any Shares that were authorized for issuance under the Prior Plan that, as of January 26, 2006, remain available for issuance under the Prior Plan (not including any Shares that are subject to, as of January 26, 2006, outstanding awards under the Prior Plan or any Shares that prior to January 26, 2006 were issued pursuant to awards granted under the Prior Plan) and (ii) any Shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan as of January 26, 2006 that on or after such date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares); provided that any Shares granted under Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit on a one-for-one basis and any Shares granted as Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as 1.75 Shares for every one Share subject to such Award. The aggregate number of Shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12. The Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including, without limitation, shares purchased in the open market.
     (b)  Issuance of Shares . For purposes of Section 5(a), the aggregate number of Shares issued under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such Shares are: (i) Shares that were subject to a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right and were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) Shares used to pay the exercise price of a Stock Option, (iii) Shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, or (iv) Shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of a Stock Option exercise. Shares subject to Awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an Award and Shares subject to Awards settled in cash shall not count as Shares issued under this Plan.

4


 

     (c)  Substitute Awards . Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any calendar year. In addition, in the event that a person or entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary merges or combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition, merger or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, shall not reduce the Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition, merger or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were employees, directors or Service Providers of such acquired, merged or combined company before such acquisition, merger or combination.
     (d)  Tax Code Limits . The aggregate number of Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed 500,000, which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 12 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code but which number shall not count any tandem SARs (as defined in Section 7). The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall not exceed 28,000,000, which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 12 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. The maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of an Incentive Bonus granted with respect any specified performance period to any Participant under this Plan that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income for such performance period.
     (e)  Director Awards . The aggregate number of Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Nonemployee Director shall not exceed 10,000, which limit shall not count any tandem SARs (as defined in Section 7).
     (f)  Awards to Service Providers . The aggregate number of Shares issued under this Plan pursuant to all Awards granted to Service Providers shall not exceed 300,000.
     (g)  Effect on Prior Plan . From and after the Effective Date, no further grants or awards shall be made under the Prior Plan. Grants and awards made under the Prior Plan before the Effective Date, however, shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms.
6. Options
     (a)  Option Awards . Options may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Participants as determined by the Administrator. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to Options hereunder

5


 

until such Shares have been issued, except that the Administrator may authorize dividend equivalent accruals with respect to such Shares. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Options granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each Option must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
     (b)  Price . The Administrator will establish the exercise price per Share under each Option, which, in no event will be less than the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price per Share with respect to an Option that is granted in connection with a merger or other acquisition as a substitute or replacement award for options held by optionees of the acquired entity may be less than 100% of the market price of the Shares on the date such Option is granted if such exercise price is based on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition. The exercise price of any Option may be paid in Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator, including, without limitation, an irrevocable commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the Shares issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned Shares and withholding of Shares deliverable upon exercise.
     (c)  No Repricing . Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 12), the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced without stockholder approval (including, without limitation, canceling previously awarded Options and regranting them with a lower exercise price).
     (d)  Provisions Applicable to Options . The date on which Options become exercisable shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Administrator and set forth in an Award Agreement. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, to the extent that the Administrator determines that an approved leave of absence or employment on a less than full-time basis is not a Termination of Employment, the vesting period and/or exercisability of an Option shall be adjusted by the Administrator during or to reflect the effects of any period during which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full-time basis.
     (e)  Term of Options and Termination of Employment . The Administrator shall establish the term of each Option, which in no case shall exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant. In addition, the Award Agreement evidencing the grant of each Option shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to such Option upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment.
     (f)  Incentive Stock Options . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in the case of the grant of an Option intending to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option: (i) if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a “10% Shareholder”), the exercise price of such Option must be at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant and the Option must expire within a period of not more than five (5) years from the date of grant, and (ii) Termination of Employment will occur when the person to whom an Award was granted ceases to be an employee (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding

6


 

anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Stock Options (and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options) to the extent that either (a) the aggregate fair market value of Shares (determined as of the time of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted, or (b) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three (3) months of Termination of Employment (or such other period of time provided in Section 422 of the Code).
7. Stock Appreciation Rights
     Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem with or as a component of other Awards granted under the Plan (“ tandem SARs ”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“ freestanding SARs ”) and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted under Section 6. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each grant or each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Award may be granted at the same time such Award is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Award. All freestanding SARs shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 6 (including, without limitation, no repricing) and all tandem SARs shall have the same exercise price, vesting, exercisability, forfeiture and termination provisions as the Award to which they relate. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 and the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
     (a)  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards . Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Participants as determined by the Administrator. Restricted Stock is an award or issuance of Shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (including, without limitation, continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in units of Shares under which the issuance of Shares is subject to such conditions (including, without limitation, continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, each Restricted Stock Unit will be equal to one Share and will entitle a Participant to either the issuance of Shares or payment of an amount of cash determined with reference to the value of Shares. To the extent determined by the Administrator, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be satisfied or settled in Shares, cash or a combination thereof. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

7


 

     (b)  Contents of Agreement . Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Shares or Restricted Stock Units subject to such Award or a formula for determining such number, (ii) the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment, (iii) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares or Restricted Stock Units granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the Shares or Restricted Stock Units as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator, (v) the term of the performance period, if any, as to which performance will be measured for determining the number of such Shares or Restricted Stock Units, and (vi) restrictions on the transferability of the Shares or Restricted Stock Units. Shares issued under a Restricted Stock Award may be issued in the name of the Participant and held by the Participant or held by the Company, in each case as the Administrator may provide.
     (c)  Vesting and Performance Criteria . The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or, subject to Section 10, settlement of shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will occur when and in such installments as the Administrator determines or under criteria the Administrator establishes, which may include Qualifying Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of Shares under any such Award that is based on performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria will be subject to a performance period of not less than one (1) year, and the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of Shares under any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award that is based solely upon continued employment and/or the passage of time may not vest or be settled in full over a period of less than three (3) years but may be subject to pro-rata vesting over such period, except that the Administrator may provide for the satisfaction and/or lapse of all conditions under any such Award in the event of the Participant’s death, disability, retirement or in connection with a change in control of the Company, and the Administrator may provide that any such restriction or limitation will not apply in the case of a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award that is issued in payment or settlement of compensation that has been earned by the Participant or that qualifies as a Substitute Award. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the performance criteria for any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Administrator and specified when the Award is granted.
     (d)  Discretionary Adjustments and Limits . Subject to the limits imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code for Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance based compensation,” notwithstanding the satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Administrator on the basis of such further considerations as the Administrator shall determine.
     (e)  Voting Rights . Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares during the period of restriction. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such Shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

8


 

     (f)  Dividends and Distributions . Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those Shares, unless determined otherwise by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine whether any such dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock and subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were distributed or whether such dividends or distributions will be paid in cash. Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents only to the extent provided by the Administrator.
     (g)  Termination of Employment . The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to such Award upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment.
9. Incentive Bonuses
     (a)  General . Each Incentive Bonus Award will confer upon the Participant the opportunity to earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to one or more performance criteria established for a performance period of not less than one year (if payable in Shares), and not less than one calendar quarter (if payable solely in cash).
     (b)  Incentive Bonus Document . The terms of any Incentive Bonus will be set forth in an Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Incentive Bonus shall contain provisions regarding (i) the target and maximum amount payable to the Participant as an Incentive Bonus, (ii) the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the amount of such payment, (iii) the term of the performance period as to which performance shall be measured for determining the amount of any payment, (iv) the timing of any payment earned by virtue of performance, (v) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the Incentive Bonus prior to actual payment, (vi) forfeiture provisions and (vii) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator.
     (c)  Performance Criteria . The Administrator shall establish the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the target and maximum amount payable under an Incentive Bonus, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. The Administrator may specify the percentage of the target Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the performance criteria for any portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by the Administrator to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria (as defined in Section 13(b)) selected by the Administrator and specified at the time the Incentive Bonus is granted. The Administrator shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment of any Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

9


 

     (d)  Timing and Form of Payment . The Administrator shall determine the timing of payment of any Incentive Bonus. Payment of the amount due under an Incentive Bonus may be made in cash or in Shares, as determined by the Administrator. Subject to Section 10, the Administrator may provide for or, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify, may permit a Participant to elect for the payment of any Incentive Bonus to be deferred to a specified date or event.
     (e)  Discretionary Adjustments . Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the amount paid under an Incentive Bonus on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Administrator on the basis of such further considerations as the Administrator shall determine.
10. Deferral of Gains
     The Administrator may, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, provide for the deferred delivery of Shares or cash upon settlement, vesting or other events with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or in payment or satisfaction of an Incentive Bonus. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any deferral of the delivery of Shares or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Administrator determines that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.
11. Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards
     The Administrator may provide that the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Administrator in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including, without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including, without limitation, the actual or constructive surrender of Shares already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued under an Award, including, without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and (iv) provisions requiring Shares to be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.
12. Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock
     The number and kind of Shares available for issuance under this Plan (including, without limitation, under any Awards then outstanding), and the number and kind of Shares subject to the individual limits set forth in Section 5 of this Plan, may be adjusted by the Administrator as it

10


 

determines appropriate to reflect any reorganization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase of shares, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend or other distribution of securities, property or cash (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or any other event or transaction that affects the number or kind of Shares of the Company outstanding. Such adjustment may be designed to comply with Section 425 of the Code or, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5(d) of this Plan, may be designed to treat the Shares available under the Plan and subject to Awards as if they were all outstanding on the record date for such event or transaction or to increase the number of such Shares to reflect a deemed reinvestment in Shares of the amount distributed to the Company’s securityholders. The terms of any outstanding Award may also be adjusted by the Administrator as to price, number or kind of Shares subject to such Award and other terms to reflect the foregoing events, which adjustments need not be uniform as between different Awards or different types of Awards.
     In the event there shall be any change in the number or kind of outstanding Shares, or any stock or other securities into which such Shares shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, by reason of a change of control, merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any such change, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, (i) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment to, each outstanding Award; (ii) accelerate the vesting of and terminate any restrictions on outstanding Awards; (iii) provide for cancellation of accelerated Awards that are not exercised within a time prescribed by the Administrator; or (iv) provide for the cancellation of any outstanding Awards in exchange for a cash payment to the holders thereof.
     No right to purchase fractional shares shall result from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to this Section 12. In case of any such adjustment, the Shares subject to the Award shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Company shall notify Participants holding Awards subject to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 of such adjustment, but (whether or not notice is given) such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
13. Qualifying Performance-Based Compensation
     (a)  General . The Administrator may establish performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine the number of Shares to be granted, retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of or the amount payable pursuant to an Award, which criteria may be based on Qualifying Performance Criteria or other standards of financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. In addition, the Administrator may specify that an Award or a portion of an Award is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance criteria for such Award or portion of an Award that is intended by the Administrator to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Administrator and specified at the time the Award is granted. The Administrator shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment, settlement or vesting of any Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation”

11


 

under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of Shares issued under or the amount paid under an award may, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Administrator on the basis of such further considerations as the Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine.
     (b)  Qualifying Performance Criteria . For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either quarterly, annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Administrator: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings per share (including, without limitation, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) stockholder return or total stockholder return, (vi) return on capital (including, without limitation, return on total capital or return on invested capital), (vii) return on investment, (viii) return on assets or net assets, (ix) market capitalization, (x) economic value added, (xi) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xii) revenue, (xiii) sales or net sales, (xiv) backlog, (xv) income, pre-tax income or net income, (xvi) operating income or pre-tax profit, (xvii) operating profit, net operating profit or economic profit, (xviii) gross margin, operating margin or profit margin, (xix) return on operating revenue or return on operating assets, (xx) cash from operations, (xxi) operating ratio, (xxii) operating revenue, (xxiii) market share improvement, (xxiv) general and administrative expenses or (xxv) customer service. To the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) any extraordinary, unusual, non-recurring or non-comparable items (A) as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, (B) as described in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s Annual Report to stockholders for the applicable year, or (C) publicly announced by the Company in a press release or conference call relating to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for a completed quarterly or annual fiscal period.
14. Transferability
     Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise and to the extent permitted under the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime, and thereafter by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate or the individual to whom such Award was transferred by the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

12


 

15. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
     This Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, stock exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Administrator shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Administrator deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable and no Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Shares underlying such Option is effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary.
     In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Administrator may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country.
16. Withholding
     To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant shall be required to satisfy, in a manner satisfactory to the Company, any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an Option exercise, disposition of Shares issued under an Incentive Stock Option, the vesting of or settlement of an Award, an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code or otherwise with respect to an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to issue Shares, make any payment or to recognize the transfer or disposition of Shares until such obligations are satisfied. The Administrator may provide for or permit these obligations to be satisfied through the mandatory or elective sale of Shares and/or by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her upon exercise of the Option or the vesting or settlement of an Award, or by tendering Shares previously acquired.
17. Administration of the Plan
     (a)  Administrator of the Plan . The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator who shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board or, in the absence of a Compensation Committee, the Board itself; provided, however, that with respect to Awards to Nonemployee

13


 

Directors, the Administrator shall be the full Board. Any power of the Administrator may also be exercised by the Board, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or cause an Award designated as a Performance Award not to qualify for treatment as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action taken by the Administrator, the Board action shall control. The Administrator may by resolution authorize one or more officers of the Company to grant Awards under the Plan, which shall be on the terms and within the limits provided in the authorizing resolution to the extent required by Delaware General Corporation Law. No such officer shall designate himself or herself or any executive officer or director of the Company as a recipient of any Awards granted under authority delegated to such officer. In addition, the Administrator may delegate any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, and/or to one or more agents.
     (b)  Powers of Administrator . Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator shall be authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation: (i) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein; (ii) to determine which persons are Participants, to which of such Participants, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards; (iii) to grant Awards to Participants and determine the terms and conditions thereof, including, without limitation, the number of Shares subject to Awards and the exercise or purchase price of such Shares and the circumstances under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or expire, which terms may but need not be conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment, the satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including, without limitation, events which the Board or the Administrator determine constitute a change of control), or other factors; (iv) to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any Award; (v) to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan (which need not be identical) and the terms of or form of any document or notice required to be delivered to the Company by Participants under this Plan; (vi) to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 12; (vii) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and (viii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.
     (c)  Determinations by the Administrator . All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Administrator regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of or operation of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

14


 

     (d)  Subsidiary Awards . In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Administrator so directs, be implemented by the Company issuing any subject Shares to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Administrator may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Award may be issued by and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Administrator shall determine.
18. Amendment of the Plan or Awards
     The Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan, and the Administrator may amend or alter any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 12, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company:
     (a) increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;
     (b) reduce the price at which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted below the price provided for in Section 6(b);
     (c) reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights;
     (d) extend the term of this Plan;
     (e) change the class of persons eligible to be Participants;
     (f) otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring stockholder approval by law or under the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements; or
     (g) increase the individual maximum limits in Sections 5(d) and (e).
     No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or Award Agreement shall be made which would impair the rights of the holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no such consent shall be required if (i) the Administrator determines in its sole discretion and prior to the date of any change of control (as defined in the applicable Award Agreement) that such amendment or alteration either is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of or avoid adverse financial accounting consequences under any accounting standard, or (ii) the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under the Award, or that any such diminution has been adequately compensated.
19. No Liability of Company
     The Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (i) the non-issuance or

15


 

sale of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder; and (ii) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted hereunder.
20. Non-Exclusivity of Plan
     Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Administrator to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under this Plan or an arrangement that is or is not intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
21. Governing Law
     This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Delaware and applicable federal law. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.
22. No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service
     Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment, service on the Board or service for the Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor shall this Plan or an Award itself confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its affiliates. Subject to Sections 4 and 18, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates.
23. Unfunded Plan
     The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. Participants are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their Awards. If the Administrator or the Company chooses to set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.
