offering, exempt from the registration requirements of the

qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions
outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act. The offering of the Notes closed on May12, 2017
(the Closing Date). The Company intends to use a portion of the
net proceeds from the offering for the repayment of outstanding
debt under its revolving credit facility, and to the extent not
used for such purpose, the Company intends to use the remainder
of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate
purposes, which may include among other things, working capital
and acquisitions, including the previously announced merger
transaction with UCP, Inc.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,

Under certain circumstances, including if the Company is unable
to consummate an exchange offer within 270 days after the Closing
Date, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration
statement with respect to the Notes. If the Company defaults on
certain of its requirements under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay under certain
circumstances additional interest to the holders of the affected
Notes at a rate of 0.25%per annum for the first 90-day period
immediately following the occurrence of such default, with such
rate increasing by an additional 0.25%per annum with respect to
each subsequent 90-day period until all such defaults have been
cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0%per annum.
