On September 15, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, Core Communities, LLC (Core), entered into a
revolving credit facility with Transamerica Life Insurance Company (Transamerica) for borrowings
up to $40,000,000, based on the appraised value of and other factors relating to approximately
2,950 acres in the Tradition Development in Port St. Lucie, Florida currently pledged to
Transamerica. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Horizons Acquisition 5, LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Core which owns the 2,950 acres, and this guarantee is secured
by the mortgage on the property. The facility includes a cross default provision with $48,000,000
of mortgage notes payable to Transamerica incurred in connection with the acquisition of the
property as disclosed in the notes to Levitt Corporations financial statements included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Advances under the facility bear
interest at one month LIBOR plus a spread of 275 basis points. Accrued interest is due and payable
monthly and all outstanding principal is due and payable on June 1, 2011. The credit facility
includes customary conditions to funding, acceleration and limitations on prepayment provisions.
The forgoing was in addition to the following indebtedness previously incurred which was not
individually considered material.
On
September 13, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, Levitt and
Sons, LLC (Levitt and Sons), entered into a first modification
agreement to its existing credit facility with Regions Bank (Regions). The modification increased
the amount available for borrowing under the Regions Facility from $35 Million to $75 Million and
amended the definition of Debt to exclude liabilities associated with inventory not owned in the
event any such amounts are required to be recorded in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 46(R), which clarified the application of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51. All other material terms of the Regions Facility, as summarized in our Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 2006, remain unchanged.
