  increases the pricing of the revolver and term loans by approximately
  1.5 percent; removes the requirement that the Company maintain mortgage
  warehouse facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million at all
  times; permits the voluntary repayment of any indebtedness under existing mortgage
  warehouse facilities and pre-approves the planned separation of the Financing
  and Homebuilding businesses from the Company. </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fifth Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement
  by making the relevant financial covenants less restrictive for a period of
  time and other affirmative and negative covenants more restrictive than
  presently existing until such time as the Company obtains&#160; certain financial benchmarks.</font></p>

  Item 1.01
  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
  On April 30, 2008, Walter Industries, Inc.
  (the "Company") entered into Amendment No. 5 (the "Fifth Amendment") to
  its credit agreement dated October 3, 2005 by and among the Company, Bank
  of America, N.A., as administrative agent, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent,
  Calyon New York Branch, as documentation agent, Banc of America Securities LLC,
  and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and the
  other lenders signatory thereto (the "Credit Agreement"). The Fifth Amendment
  increases the revolver portion of the Credit Agreement by $250.0 million to
  $475.0 million with  required reductions
  in the total commitment beginning in 2009; 
  increases the pricing of the revolver and term loans by approximately
  1.5 percent; removes the requirement that the Company maintain mortgage
  warehouse facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million at all
  times; permits the voluntary repayment of any indebtedness under existing mortgage
  warehouse facilities and pre-approves the planned separation of the Financing
  and Homebuilding businesses from the Company.
  The Fifth Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement
  by making the relevant financial covenants less restrictive for a period of
  time and other affirmative and negative covenants more restrictive than
  presently existing until such time as the Company obtains  certain financial benchmarks.

  qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amendment, a copy of which
  is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.12.5
