  The description of the DIP Credit Facility under Item 2.03 below is incorporated herein by reference.
  Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
  As previously disclosed, New Century Financial Corporation (the "Company") obtained a commitment from The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. ("CIT"), and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. ("Greenwich" and together with CIT, the "Lenders") to provide the Company up to $150 million in debtor-in-possession financing (the "DIP Credit Facility"), subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").  The Company subsequently received interim approval from the Bankruptcy Court on April 5, 2007, to enter into the DIP Credit Facility.  On April 20, 2007, the Company executed the DIP Credit Facility, with an effective date of April 13, 2007, to borrow up to $150 million from the Lenders and any other lenders thereafter becoming a party to the DIP Credit Facility as arranged by Greenwich, as the administrative agent, and CIT, as the documentation agent.
  The DIP Credit Facility consists of one tranche under which the Company may borrow up to $50 million for general corporate purposes and to fund an orderly Section 363 sales process ("Tranche A") and may include a second tranche under which the Company will be advanced up to $50 million to repay that certain Servicer Advance Financing Facility Agreement by and between New Century Mortgage Corporation, one of the Company's indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and Citgroup Global Markets Realty Corp. and to fund new qualifying servicing advances ("Tranche B").  Outstanding advances under the DIP Credit Facility may not exceed $50 million, provided that the Lenders may in their sole discretion increase the maximum amounts that may be advanced to $100 million by either increasing Tranche A by up to $50 million and/or making advances available under Tranche B.  If the Company and the Lenders agree, the maximum amounts that may be advanced under the DIP Credit Facility may be further increased to $150 million.
  Each of the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a debtor in the previously disclosed Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding is a joint and several obligor under the DIP Credit Facility.  Pursuant to the DIP Credit Facility each obligor granted a first priority lien on its unencumbered assets and a junior lien on its encumbered assets as security for its obligations under the DIP Credit Facility.
