any L/C Obligations exist at the time a Lender is an Affected Lender, Borrower
shall, within one (1) Business Day of delivery of written notice by
Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize the amount of the Affected Lender’s Pro
Rata Part of the L/C Obligations.  If Borrower is required to provide
an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this Section

Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and promptly returned to
Borrower from time to time to the extent the amount deposited shall exceed the
Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Part of the L/C Obligations or if such Lender ceases
to be an Affected Lender;

delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section

or delegation; and

      


      (d)           notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections
2.6(a) and (b), if
within one (1) Business Day following Borrower’s receipt of Administrative
Agent’s notice under Section
2.6(a) Borrower has, by written notice to Administrative Agent, advised
Administrative Agent that Borrower intends to effect the assignment by such
Affected Lender pursuant to Section

provisions of Sections
2.6(a) and (b) shall
be extended to the forty-fifth (45th) day
after the date of Administrative Agent’s notice; provided, however, that, such
extension shall not extend the date by which Borrower is obligated to Cash
Collateralize the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(i),
3.2(b)(ii), 11.1(a) or 11.1(b).

      9.12           Financial
Covenants.

      


      (a)           Leverage
Ratio.  Borrower shall not permit the Leverage Ratio (expressed
as a percent), as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Borrower, to be
greater than sixty-five percent (65%).

      


      (b)           Minimum Tangible Net
Worth.  Borrower shall not permit Consolidated Tangible Net
Worth, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Borrower, commencing with the
fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2009, to be less than (a) (i) if the Total
Commitment exceeds $350,000,000, then $650,000,000 or (ii) if the Total
Commitment has been permanently reduced to $350,000,000 or less, then

reductions or reversals of any Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances since December
31, 2008 through the date of determination.

       

      (c)           Borrowing Base.  At
any time that Borrower does not have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower shall
not permit the sum of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Borrowing Base
Debt to exceed the sum of the Borrowing Base; provided however, that it
shall not be an Event of Default or Potential Default under this Section
9.12(c) if, Borrower shall either, (A) within two (2) Business Days of
the date of determination that Borrower is not in compliance with this Section
9.12(c), make a prepayment of the Total Principal Debt in such amount as
is necessary to cause Borrower to be in compliance with the limitations of this
Section
9.12(c), or (B) so long as no Principal Debt is outstanding, within
thirty (30) days of such date of determination, cause Borrower to otherwise be
in compliance with the limitations of this Section
9.12(c).

      


      (d)           Interest
Coverage Ratio and Liquidity Reserve.

      


      (i)           Borrower
shall not permit the Interest Coverage Ratio, as of the last day of any fiscal
quarter of Borrower, to be less than 2.0 to 1.0 (the
“Interest
Coverage Test”), subject to the provisions of Sections
9.12(d)(ii) and (v)
below.

      


      (ii)           If
at the end of any fiscal quarter, Borrower shall fail to satisfy the Interest
Coverage Test (each such fiscal quarter, a “Coverage Test
Failure Quarter”), Borrower shall, not later than (x) for the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and (y) for
all other fiscal quarters, the date that the Compliance Certificate for such
quarter is required to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
8.3 (each such date a “Liquidity
Compliance Date”), deposit in one or more Liquidity Reserve Accounts with
one or more of the Designated Lenders (as selected by Borrower) an amount such
that the aggregate amount held in all Liquidity Reserve Accounts equals or
exceeds the Required Liquidity Reserve Deposit determined as of the last day of
such Coverage Test Failure Quarter.  Amounts deposited in Liquidity
Reserve Accounts shall be maintained in and may not be withdrawn from such
Liquidity Reserve Accounts except as provided in Sections
9.12(d)(iii) or (iv).  If
at any time it is determined that any Financial Statements or Compliance
Certificate furnished by Borrower contained an error that resulted in the stated
amount of the Required Liquidity Reserve Deposit for the most recent Coverage

            Fourth Amendment to Centex Credit
Agreement
                                                                                                                                          


          

          7 


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


       deposit
in the Liquidity Reserve Accounts the amount by which the corrected Required
Liquidity Reserve Deposit exceeds the actual amount in the Liquidity Reserve
Accounts.

      


      (iii)           If
as of the last day of a Coverage Test Failure Quarter, the aggregate amount held
in all Liquidity Reserve Accounts exceeds the Required Liquidity Reserve Deposit
determined for such fiscal quarter and Borrower shall have furnished the
Financial Statements and Compliance Certificate required to be furnished under
Section
8.3 with respect to such fiscal quarter evidencing the same and provided
no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may at any time prior to the Liquidity Compliance Date for the fiscal
quarter next succeeding such Coverage Test Failure Quarter, withdraw from the
Liquidity Reserve Accounts an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If Borrower
shall satisfy the Interest Coverage Test as of the last day of any fiscal
quarter and shall have furnished the Financial Statements and Compliance
Certificate required to be furnished under Section
8.3 with respect to such fiscal quarter evidencing the same and provided
no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may withdraw any and all funds from the Liquidity Reserve Accounts and
shall not thereafter be required to maintain any Liquidity Reserve Accounts
unless and until thereafter required pursuant to the provisions of Section
9.12(d)(ii) above.

      


      (iv)           If
at any time any Designated Lender ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement or
becomes an Affected Lender, all funds held by such Designated Lender in a
Liquidity Reserve Account shall be promptly transferred to another Liquidity
Reserve Account held by another Designated Lender (as designated by Borrower or,
in the absence of such designation, as designated by Administrative
Agent).

      


      (v)           Borrower’s
satisfaction of the Interest Coverage Test shall be measured on a quarterly
basis based on the Financial Statements delivered to Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section
8.3.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, a failure to satisfy the Interest Coverage Test alone shall not
constitute a Potential Default or an Event of Default unless the Required
Liquidity Reserve Deposit is not made and maintained as herein
required.

      


      (t)           Schedule
2.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Revised
Schedule 2.1 attached hereto.

      


      2.           Waiver.

      


      (a)           Borrower
has advised Administrative Agent that Borrower may not be in compliance with the
Minimum Tangible Net Worth covenant as set forth in Section
9.12(b) of the Credit Agreement (as in effect prior to this Amendment)
solely for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 (the “Net Worth
Covenant Violation”).  As a result, Borrower has requested that
Lenders waive any Potential Default or Event of Default arising solely as a
result of the Net Worth Covenant Violation.

      


      (b)           Each
Lender that executes this Amendment (“Waiving
Lenders”) hereby waives the existence of the Net Worth Covenant
Violation, and any Potential Default or Event of Default created solely
thereby.

      


      The
waiver hereby granted by Waiving Lenders under this Section 2
does not (i) constitute a waiver or modification of any other terms or
provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and
shall not impair any right that any Credit Party may now or hereafter have under
or in


      
        
          
            


            Fourth Amendment to Centex Credit

      connection
with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) impair any
Credit Party’s rights to insist upon strict compliance with the Credit

granted, conveyed, or assigned to the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents
are not released, reduced, or otherwise adversely affected by this Amendment and
continue to guarantee and assure full payment and performance of the present and
future Obligation, and (c) agrees to perform such acts and duly authorize,
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record such additional documents and
certificates as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to create,
preserve and protect those guaranties and assurances.

as amended by this Amendment, are valid and binding upon Borrower and are
enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except

require the consent of any Person that has not been obtained and do not and will
not constitute a violation of any Legal Requirements or material agreements to

of its Subsidiaries is bound; (e) all representations and warranties in the Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of

specific date, or (ii) the facts on which any of them were based have been
changed by transactions contemplated or permitted by the Credit Agreement; and
(f) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Potential Default or Event of
Default exists.

      


      6.           Conditions.  This
Amendment shall not be effective unless and until:

Amendment is executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Required
Lenders;

      


      (b)           the
representations and warranties in this Amendment are true and correct in all

Agent receives a certificate executed by Responsible Officer of Borrower
certifying (i) the name of each of its officers who are authorized to sign

the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment and the other
documents executed in connection herewith, and (iii) copies of the articles

Borrower, that the same have not been amended since the date specified therein,
and that the same are still in effect;

      


      (e)           Borrower
shall have deposited into one or more Liquidity Reserve Accounts an amount at
least equal to the Required Liquidity Reserve Deposit, if any, determined as of
the last day of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 and shall have
furnished to Administrative Agent a certificate confirming the same and
identifying the amounts on deposit in each Liquidity Reserve Account;
and

      


      (f)           Borrower
shall have paid Administrative Agent all fees required to be paid by Borrower
under the Loan Documents and the fee letter dated December 23, 2008, executed by
Borrower, Bank of America, N.A., and Banc of America Securities

      7.           Continued
Effect.  Except to the extent amended hereby or by any

of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all documents executed
in connection therewith, shall continue in full force and effect and shall

captions may not be construed in interpreting provisions, (c) this Amendment
shall be construed -- and its performance enforced -- under Texas law, (d) if
any part of this Amendment is for any reason found to be unenforceable, all
other portions of it nevertheless remain enforceable, and (e) this Amendment may
be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all
signatories had signed the same document, and all of those counterparts must be
construed together to constitute the same document.

      


      9.           Parties. This Amendment binds
and inures to each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.
