TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 17, 2007, KB Home (the Company) entered into the third amendment (the Revolver
Amendment) to the Revolving Loan Agreement dated as of November 22, 2005 among the Company, the
lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as amended (the
Revolving Loan Agreement). The Revolver Amendment allows for a reduction of the ratio (the
Ratio) of the Companys consolidated earnings to consolidated interest expense (as each is
determined under the Revolving Loan Agreement) below that otherwise required under Section 6.11 of
the Revolving Loan Agreement (the Required Ratio) for a period of up to 9 consecutive quarters
(the Reduction Period). During the Reduction Period, the interest rates applied to borrowings and
the unused line fee under the Revolving Loan Agreement and the required minimum ratio of the
Companys consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated net worth are subject to adjustment based
on the level of the Ratio. The Revolver Amendment also permits the Company to be free from any
minimum Ratio requirement during the Reduction Period for a period of up to four consecutive
quarters (the Elimination Period) if during the Elimination Period the Company maintains a
certain minimum ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated net worth (each as
determined under the Revolving Loan Agreement) and deposits certain funds in an interest-bearing
reserve account with the Administrative Agent; provided that the Company may withdraw funds from
the account to the extent it achieves and maintains a Ratio during the Elimination Period above
that required under the terms of the Revolver Amendment. Each of the Reduction Period and the
Elimination Period will commence if and when the Company provides notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent. The Revolver Amendment also makes certain permanent amendments to certain
provisions of the Revolving Loan Agreement. Consenting lenders party to the Revolver Amendment
received a fee in connection therewith.
The above description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the
Revolver Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.39 to this Current Report.
