Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     On March 21, 2007, Levitt and Sons, LLC (“LAS”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a $100 million Revolving Working Capital, Land Acquisition, Development and Residential Construction Borrowing Base Facility Agreement (“Facility”). On March 21, 2007, LAS borrowed $30.2 million under the Facility and the proceeds were used to finance an intercompany sale of a 150 acre parcel in Tradition South Carolina from Core Communities, LLC to LAS (by repaying outstanding acquisition indebtedness on the property owed to Core Communities) and to refinance a $15 million line of credit. The Facility is due and payable on March 21, 2011 and may be extended for an additional year at the discretion of the financial institution annually at the anniversary date of the Facility. The Facility is secured by a mortgage on the 150 acre parcel in Tradition South Carolina and by a guarantee of the Company. The Company’s guarantee of the $15 million working capital component of the Facility is secured by a pledge of the Company’s membership interest in LAS. The guarantee and the pledge of the membership interest can be released by payment in full of any amounts outstanding under the $15 million working capital component. Repayment of the working capital component would serve to reduce the Facility by a corresponding amount and termination of the working capital provisions of the Facility. Interest accrues under the Facility at the Prime Rate and is payable monthly. The loan documents contain customary conditions to funding, collateral release and acceleration provisions and financial, affirmative and negative covenants.
