In connection with the Amendment and pursuant to separate assignment agreements, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Bank of Montreal will join Wells Fargo as lenders under the facility and concurrently the maximum revolver amount under the facility will be increased to $100 million, from $75 million.  As of the date of the Amendment, MDC had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility other than undrawn letters of credit.
 
The Amendment also provides that MDC will be subject to additional financial covenants relating to “total leverage ratio” and “minimum accounts” (each as defined).  MDC would have been in compliance with each of these covenants as of September 30, 2010.
 
The foregoing summary description of the Amendment to the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements.  The Amendment will be filed as an exhibit to MDC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010.
