Item 2.03.         Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under this Item 2.03 relates to a credit facility which may give rise to direct financial obligations of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (the “Company”). On August 22, 2005, the Company entered into a $750 million four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), as disclosed by the Company on its Form 8-K dated August 22, 2005. The aggregate commitment of the lenders under the Credit Facility could be increased at the request of the Company to a maximum of $1.0 billion at any time within four years of the closing date, so long as no default or event of default had occurred and was continuing, and subject to Agent approval (the “Facility Increase”). The Company exercised its rights under the Facility Increase to request an increase in the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility, which request was accepted for an increase in the full aggregate amount of $250 million effective June 20, 2006. As a result of this increase, the Credit Facility now provides for borrowings by the Company and the issuance of standby letters of credit for the account of the Company (subject to a sublimit of $350 million) on a revolving basis up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion at any one time outstanding, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Facility. No other terms of the Credit Facility were altered by the exercise of the Facility Increase. The terms of the Credit Facility were set forth in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 22, 2005 and are incorporated herein by reference.
