     We design, construct and market high quality single-family detached homes
and attached condominium apartments and townhouses in planned residential
developments in the Northeast, primarily in New Jersey, southern New York
state, and eastern Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Metro D.C., which includes
northern Virginia and Maryland, southern California, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama
and Mississippi and provide mortgage banking and title insurance activities.
We market our homes to first-time buyers, first-time and second-time move-up
buyers, luxury buyers, active adult buyers and empty nesters.

     Hovnanian was originally incorporated in New Jersey in 1967 as successor
to a business founded in 1959 by Kevork S. Hovnanian and became a Delaware
corporation in August 1983. The Company maintains its executive offices at 10
Highway 35, P.O. Box 500, Red Bank, New Jersey 07701, and its telephone number
is (732) 747-7800.

     K. Hovnanian was incorporated in New Jersey in November 1982, as an
indirect wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of Hovnanian. K. Hovnanian
functions as a management company for the operating subsidiaries of Hovnanian
and borrows funds that it lends to those subsidiaries. K. Hovnanian has
essentially no independent operations and generates no operating revenues. K.
Hovnanian's principal executive offices are located at 10 Highway 35, P.O. Box
500, Red Bank, New Jersey 07701, and its telephone number is (732) 747-7800.

                                 RISK FACTORS

Our substantial leverage places burdens on our ability to comply with the
terms of our indebtedness, may restrict our ability to operate and may prevent
us from fulfilling our obligations.

     We have a significant amount of debt. As of April 30, 2001, our
consolidated debt was $536,619,000, excluding Financial Services debt and
Collateralized Mortgage Financing. The amount of our debt could have important
consequences to you. For example, it could:

     o    limit our ability to obtain future financing for working capital,
          capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements or
          other requirements;
     o    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
          operations to the payment on our debt and reduce our ability to use
          our cash flow for other purposes;
     o    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in
          our business;
     o    place us at a competitive disadvantage because we have more debt
          than some of our competitors; and
     o    make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business
          or in general economic conditions.

     Our ability to meet our debt service and other obligations will depend
upon our future performance. We are engaged in businesses that are
substantially affected by changes in economic cycles. Our revenues and
earnings vary with the level of general economic activity in the markets we
serve. Our businesses are also affected by financial, political, business and
other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The factors that affect
our ability to generate cash can also affect our ability to raise additional
funds for these purposes through the sale of equity securities, the
refinancing of debt or the sale of assets. Changes in prevailing interest
rates may affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations, because
borrowings under our revolving credit facilities bear interest at floating
rates. A higher interest rate on our debt service obligations could result in
lower earnings.

     Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and
borrowings may not be available to us under our revolving credit facilities in
an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt service obligations or to
fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of
our debt on or before maturity, which we may not be able to do on favorable
terms or at all.

     The indentures governing the debt securities offered hereby and our other
outstanding debt and our revolving credit facilities impose restrictions on
our operations and activities. The most significant restrictions relate to
debt incurrence, sales of

                                      4


assets and cash distributions by us and require us to comply with certain
financial covenants listed in those debt and revolving credit facilities. If
we fail to comply with any of those restrictions or covenants, the trustees or
the banks, as appropriate, could cause our debt to become due and payable
prior to maturity.

The homebuilding industry is significantly affected by changes in general and
local economic conditions, real estate markets and weather conditions, which
could affect our ability to build homes at prices our customers are willing or
able to pay, could reduce profits that may not be recaptured and could result
in cancellation of sales contracts.

     The homebuilding industry is cyclical, has from time to time experienced
significant difficulties and is significantly affected by changes in general
and local economic conditions, such as:

     o    employment levels and job growth;
     o    availability of financing for home buyers;
     o    interest rates;
     o    consumer confidence; and
     o    housing demand.

     An oversupply of alternatives to new homes, such as rental properties and
used homes, could depress prices and reduce margins for the sale of new homes.

     Weather conditions and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes,
earthquakes, floods and fires, can harm the local homebuilding business.

     The difficulties described above could cause us to take longer and incur
more costs to build our homes. We may not be able to recapture increased costs
by raising prices in many cases because we fix our prices up to twelve months
in advance of delivery by signing home sales contracts. In addition, some home
buyers may cancel or not honor their home sales contracts altogether.

Our success depends on the availability of suitable undeveloped land and
improved lots at acceptable prices.

     Our success in developing land and in building and selling homes depends
in part upon the continued availability of suitable undeveloped land and
improved lots at acceptable prices. The availability of undeveloped land and
improved lots for purchase at favorable prices depends on a number of factors
outside our control, including the risk of competitive over-bidding on land or
lots and restrictive governmental regulation. Should suitable land or lots
become less available, the number of homes we may be able to build and sell
would be reduced, which would reduce revenue and profits.

Changes in economic and market conditions could result in the sale of homes at
a loss or holding land in inventory longer than planned, the cost of which can
be significant.

     Land inventory risk can be substantial for homebuilders. We must
continuously seek and make acquisitions of land for expansion into new markets
and for replacement and expansion of land inventory within our current
markets. The market value of undeveloped land, buildable lots and housing
inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing economic and
market conditions. In the event of significant changes in economic or market
conditions, we may have to sell homes at a loss or hold land in inventory
longer than planned. Inventory carrying costs can be significant and can
result in losses from a poorly performing project or market.

Home prices and sales activity in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic markets have
a large impact on our profitability because we conduct a significant portion
of our business in these markets.

     We presently conduct a significant portion of our business in the
Northeast and mid-Atlantic markets. Home prices and sales activity in the
Northeast and mid-Atlantic, including in some of the markets in which we
operate, have declined from time to time, particularly as a result of slow
economic growth. If home prices and sales activity decline in one or more of
the markets in which we operate, our costs may not decline at all or at the
same rate and profits may be reduced.

Because almost all of our customers require mortgage financing, increases in
interest rates could impair the affordability of our homes, lower demand for
our products, limit our marketing effectiveness, and limit our ability to
fully realize our backlog.

                                      5


     Virtually all of our customers finance their acquisitions through lenders
providing mortgage financing. Increases in interest rates or decreases in
availability of mortgage financing could lower demand for new homes because of
the increased monthly mortgage costs to potential home buyers. Even if
potential customers do not need financing, changes in interest rates and
mortgage availability could make it harder for them to sell their existing
homes to potential buyers who need financing. This could prevent or limit our
ability to attract new customers as well as our ability to fully realize our
backlog because our sales contracts generally include a financing contingency.
Financing contingencies permit the customer to cancel his obligation in the
event mortgage financing at prevailing interest rates, including financing
arranged or provided by us, is unobtainable within the period specified in the
contract. This contingency period is typically four to eight weeks following
the date of execution.

     In addition, we believe that the availability of FNMA, FHLMC, FHA and VA
mortgage financing is an important factor in marketing many of our homes. Any
limitations or restrictions on the availability of those types of financing
could reduce our sales.

Homebuilders are subject to a number of federal, local, state and foreign laws
and regulations concerning the development of land, the homebuilding process
and protection of the environment, which can cause us to incur delays, costs
associated with compliance and prohibit or restrict activity in some regions
or areas.

     We are subject to extensive and complex regulations that affect the
development of land and the homebuilding process, including zoning, density
and building standards. These regulations often provide broad discretion to
the administering governmental authorities. This can delay or increase the
cost of development or homebuilding.

     We are also subject to a variety of local, state, federal and foreign
laws and regulations concerning protection of health and the environment. The
particular environmental laws which apply to any given community vary greatly
according to the community site, the site's environmental conditions and the
present and former uses of the site. These environmental laws may result in
delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance, remediation, and/or
other costs, and can prohibit or severely restrict development and
homebuilding activity in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas.

     It can be anticipated that increasingly stringent requirements will be
imposed on developers and homebuilders in the future. Although we cannot
predict the effect of these requirements, they could result in time-consuming
and expensive compliance programs and in substantial expenditures, which could
cause delays and increase our cost of operations. In addition, the continued
effectiveness of permits already granted or approvals already obtained is
dependent upon many factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as
changes in policies, rules and regulations and their interpretation and
application.

We compete on several levels with homebuilders that may have greater sales and
financial resources, which could hurt future earnings.

     We compete not only for home buyers, but also for desirable properties,
financing, raw materials and skilled labor often within larger subdivisions
designed, planned and developed by other homebuilders. In addition, resales of
homes and the availability of rental housing provide additional competition.
Our competitors include other local, regional and national homebuilders, some
of which have greater sales and financial resources.

     These competitive conditions in the homebuilding industry could result
in:

     o    difficulty in acquiring suitable land at acceptable prices;
     o    increased selling incentives;
     o    lower sales; or
     o    delays in construction.

     Any of these problems could increase costs and/or lower profit margins.

We may have difficulty in obtaining the additional financing required to
operate and develop our business.

     Our operations require significant amounts of cash, and we will be
required to seek additional capital, whether from sales of equity or borrowing
more money, for the future growth and development of our business. The terms
or availability of additional capital is uncertain. Moreover, the indentures
for our outstanding debt contain provisions that may restrict the debt

                                      6


we may incur in the future. If we are not successful in obtaining sufficient
capital, it could reduce our sales and may hinder our future growth and
results of operations.

Our future growth may include additional acquisitions that may not be
successfully integrated and may not achieve expected benefits.

     Although we have not recently announced any acquisitions or mergers
(other than the Washington Homes merger, which closed on January 23, 2001) in
the future we may acquire other businesses. As a result of these acquisitions,
we may need to integrate product lines, dispersed operations and distinct
corporate cultures. Future integration efforts may not succeed or may distract
our management from operating our existing business. Additionally, we may not
be able to enhance our earnings as a result of future acquisitions. Our
failure to successfully manage future acquisitions could harm our operating
results.

An active trading market may not develop for the securities offered hereby.

     The securities offered hereby, other than the Class A Common Stock, will
be a new issue of securities and when offered, there may not be an active
public trading market for them. We do not intend to apply for listing of the
securities offered hereby on a security exchange, however, the Class A Common
Stock is already traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The liquidity of the
trading market in the securities offered hereby, and the market prices quoted
for these securities, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall
market for these types of securities and by changes in our financial
performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry
generally. As a consequence, when issued, an active trading market may not
develop for the securities offered hereby, other than the Class A Common
Stock, you might not be able to sell your securities, other than the Class A
Common Stock, or, even if you can sell your securities, you might not be able
to sell them at an acceptable price.

Federal and state laws allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void
guarantees and to require you to return payments received from guarantors.

     The debt securities of Hovnainan offered hereby may be guaranteed by, and
the debt securities of K. Hovnanian offered hereby may be further guaranteed
by, the subsidiaries of Hovnanian. Although you may be direct creditors of any
guarantors by virtue of any guarantee, existing or future creditors of any
guarantor could avoid or subordinate that guarantor's guarantee under the
fraudulent conveyance laws if they were successful in establishing that:

                                      7




     o    the guarantee was incurred with fraudulent intent; or

     o    the guarnator did not receive fair consideration or reasonably
          equivalent value for issuing its guarantee and

          o    was insolvent at the time of the guarantee;

          o    was rendered insolvent by reason of the guarantee;

          o    was engaged in a business or transaction for which its assets
               constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its
               business; or

          o    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debt beyond
               its ability to pay such debt as it matured.

     The measurers of insolvency for purposes of determining whether a
fraudulent conveyance occurred vary depending upon the laws of the relevant
jurisdiction and upon the valuation assumptions and methodology applied by the
court. Generally, however, a company would be considered insolvent for
purposes of the above if:

     o    the sum of the company's debts, including contingent, unliquidated
          and unmatured liabilities, is greater than all of that company's
          property at a fair valuation, or

     o    if the present fair saleable value of the company's assets is less
          than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability
          on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured.

                    RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND
       EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

     For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges and
earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends, earnings consist
of earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, minority
interest, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting changes,
plus fixed charges, which consist of interest charges and preferred share
dividend requirements of subsidiaries, adjusted to a pretax basis, less
interest capitalized, less preferred share dividend requirements of
subsidiaries adjusted to a pretax basis and less undistributed earnings of
affiliates whose debt is not guaranteed by Hovnanian.

     The following table sets forth the ratios of earnings to fixed charges
and earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends for Hovnanian
for the periods indicated:

     Unless otherwise specified in any prospectus supplement, the debt

made for any transfer or exchange of any debt securities but the issuer may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge, payable in connection therewith, see Section 2.8.

     Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate.
Debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of
issuance is below the prevailing market rate may be sold at a discount below
their stated principal amount. Special United States federal income tax
considerations applicable to discounted debt securities or to some debt
securities issued at par that are treated as having been issued at a discount
for United States federal income tax purposes will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement.

     In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of outstanding debt securities of any series have given any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under the
Indentures, the principal amount of any series of debt securities originally
issued at a discount from their stated principal amount that will be deemed to
be outstanding for such purposes will be the amount of the principal thereof
that would be due and payable as of the date of the determination upon a
declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof.

     Description of Guarantees. Hovnanian will fully and unconditionally
guarantee, pursuant to the K. Hovnanian Indentures, the due and prompt payment
of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the K. Hovnanian Debt
Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the
stated maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise. Debt securities of Hovnanian may be guaranteed by, and debt
securities of K. Hovnanian may be further guaranteed by, the subsidiaries of
Hovnanian, the "subsidiary guarantees", that also guaranty Hovnanian's
revolving credit agreement at the time of issuance of the debt securities, the
"subsidiary guarantors". Under the terms of Hovnanian's revised revolving
credit agreement, which is expected to close by the end of August 2001, the
subsidiary guarantors consist of all of Hovnanian's subsidiaries other than
certain subsidiaries formerly engaged in the issuance of collateralized
mortgage obligations, Hovnanian's mortgage lending and title subsidiaries, a
subsidiary holding and licensing the Hovnanian trade name and certain joint
ventures with third-party partners in which Hovnanian's aggregate consolidated
investment as of April 30, 2001 was less than $10,000,000. If debt securities
are guaranteed by subsidiary guarantors, that guarantee will be set forth in a
supplemental indenture.

     Payments with respect to the guarantee of the K. Hovnanian Senior
Subordinated Debt Securities and K. Hovnanian Subordinated Debt Securities
will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness of the guarantor to the same extent and manner that
payments with respect to the K. Hovnanian Senior Subordinated Debt Securities
and K. Hovnanian Subordinated Debt Securities are subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the issuer
as described under "Provisions Applicable Solely to Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities and Subordinated Debt Securities" below. Likewise, payments with
respect to subsidiary guarantees of Senior Subordinated Debt Securities and
Subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of each such subsidiary
guarantor to the same extent and manner that payments with respect to the
Senior Subordinated Debt Securities and Subordinated Debt Securities are
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the issuer of such debt securities.

     Global Securities. The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole
or in part in the form of one or more global securities, the "global
securities", that will be deposited with or on behalf of a depositary, "the
depositary", identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.
Global securities may be issued only in fully registered form and in either
temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in
part for the individual debt securities represented thereby, a global
security:

     o    may not be transferred except as a whole; and

                                      13



     o    may only be transferred

          o    by the depositary for the global security to its nominee,

          o    by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another
               nominee of the depositary; or

          o    by the depositary or any nominee to a successor depositary or
               nominee of the successor depositary, see Section 2.8.

     The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series
of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to
such series. Hovnanian and K. Hovnanian anticipate that the following
provisions generally will apply to all depositary arrangements.

     Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for that global
security or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and
transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual debt
securities represented by that global security to the accounts of persons that
have accounts with such depositary. Those accounts will be designated by the
dealers, underwriters or agents with respect to those debt securities or by
the issuer if the debt securities are offered and sold directly by the issuer.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to
persons that have accounts with the applicable depositary, participants, or
persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial
interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that
ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable
depositary or its nominee, with respect to interests of participants, and the
records of participants, with respect to interests of persons other than
participants. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of
securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form.
These limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests
in a global security.

     As long as the depositary for a global security or its nominee is the
registered owner of the global security, the depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt
securities of the series represented by that global security for all purposes
under the Indenture governing those debt securities. Except as provided below,
owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to
have any of the individual debt securities of the series represented by the
global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to
receive physical delivery of any of those debt securities in definitive form
and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture
governing those debt securities.

     Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on
individual debt securities represented by a global security registered in the
name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its
nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security
representing the debt securities. Hovnanian and K. Hovnanian expect that the
depositary for a series of debt securities or its nominee, upon receipt of any
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, in respect of a
global security representing any of those debt securities, will immediately
credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their
respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security
for those securities as shown on the records of such depositary or its
nominee. Hovnanian and K. Hovnanian also expect that payments by participants
to owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through the
participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in "street name." These payments will
be the responsibility of the participants. Neither Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian,
the trustee for such debt securities, any paying agent nor the registrar for
the debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect
of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of the global security for the debt securities or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership
interests.

     If the depositary for a series of debt securities is at any time
unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor
depositary is not appointed by the issuer within 90 days, the issuer will
issue individual debt securities of the applicable series in exchange for the
global security representing the applicable series of debt securities. In
addition, an issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion, subject to any
limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt
securities, determine not to have any debt securities of a series represented
by a global security and, in such event, will issue individual debt securities
of the applicable series in exchange for the global security representing the
applicable series of debt securities. Further, if an issuer so specifies with
respect to the debt securities of a series, an owner of a beneficial interest
in a global security representing debt securities of that series may, on terms
acceptable to the issuer, the trustee and the depositary for the global
security, receive individual debt securities of the applicable series in
exchange for beneficial interests,

                                      14



subject to any limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to
the debt securities. In this instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
global security will be entitled to physical delivery of individual debt
securities of the series represented by the applicable global security equal
in principal amount to the beneficial interest and to have the debt securities
registered in its name. Individual debt securities of the series so issued
will be issued in registered form and in denominations, unless otherwise
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to that series of
debt securities, of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

     Events of Default. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
prospectus supplement, an Event of Default is defined under each Indenture
with respect to the debt securities of any series issued under the applicable
Indenture as being:

     o    default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, with
          respect to debt securities of the applicable series when due;

     o    default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the
          debt securities of that series when due, continued for 30 days;

     o    default in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund or other
          purchase obligation with respect to debt securities of that series
          when due;

     o    default in the performance of any other covenant of any of the
          Obligors' applicable to debt securities of that series, continued
          for 90 days after written notice to the Obligors by the trustee or
          to the Obligors and the trustee, by the holders of at least 25% in
          aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series
          then outstanding requiring the same to be remedied; and

     o    specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the
          issuer, see Section 5.1.

     If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt
securities of that series then outstanding, by notice in writing to the
Obligors, and to the trustee, if given by the holders, may declare the
principal, or, in the case of any series of debt securities originally issued
at a discount from their stated principal amount, the portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of that series, of all of the debt
securities of that series and the interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due
and payable immediately. The declaration described in the preceding sentence
may be rescinded by notice in writing to the Obligors and the trustee by
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of
the series then outstanding. This rescission will rescind and annul any
declaration made pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph and its
consequences if all defaults under such Indenture are cured or waived, see
Section 5.1.

     Each Indenture provides that no holder of any series of debt securities
then outstanding may institute any suit, action or proceeding with respect to,
or otherwise attempt to enforce, that Indenture, unless

     o    the holder previously gave the trustee written notice of default and
          of the continuance thereof;

     o    the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
          the applicable series of debt securities then outstanding made
          written request to the trustee to institute the suit, action or
          proceeding and offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity as it may
          require with respect thereto; and

     o    the trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of the notice, request
          and offer of indemnity, neglected or refused to institute any
          action, suit or proceeding;

Subject to the subordination provisions applicable to the Senior Subordinated
Debt Securities and the Subordinated Debt Securities, the right, described in
the above bullet points, of any holder of any debt security to receive payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on that debt
security, on or after the respective due dates, or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of the holder, see Section 5.4.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities
of the series then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the
debt securities of that series, provided that the trustee may decline to
follow that

                                      15



direction if the trustee determines that the action or proceeding is unlawful
or would involve the trustee in personal liability, see Section 5.7.

     The Obligors are required to furnish annually to the trustee a
certificate as to compliance by the Obligors with all conditions and covenants
under each Indenture, see Section 4.3.

     Discharge and Defeasance. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
prospectus supplement, the Obligors can discharge or defease their respective
obligations with respect to any series of debt securities as described below,
see Article Ten.

     The Obligors may discharge all of their obligations, except those
described below, to holders of any series of debt securities issued under any
Indenture that have not already been delivered to the trustee for cancellation
and that have either become due and payable, or are by their terms due and
payable within one year or scheduled for redemption within one year, by
irrevocably depositing with the trustee cash or U.S. Government Obligations,
as defined in the Indenture, or a combination thereof, as trust funds in an
amount certified to be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities of that
series and to make any mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, thereon when
due.

     Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the
Obligors may also elect at any time to defease and be discharged from all of
their obligations, except those described below, to holders of any series of
debt securities issued under each Indenture, "defeasance", or be released from
all of their obligations with respect to specified covenants applicable to any
series of debt securities issued under each Indenture, "covenant defeasance",
if, among other things:

     o    the Obligors irrevocably deposit with the trustee cash or U.S.
          Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, as trust funds in
          an amount certified to be sufficient to pay when due the principal
          of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all outstanding debt
          securities of the applicable series and to make any mandatory
          sinking fund payments, if any, thereon when due and those funds have
          been so deposited for 91 days;

     o    the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or cause a
          default under, any agreement or instrument to which any of the
          Obligors is a party or by which it is bound; and

     o    the Obligors deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the
          effect that the holders of the applicable series of debt securities
          will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal
          income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant
          defeasance and that defeasance or covenant defeasance will not
          otherwise alter the United States federal income tax treatment of
          the holders' principal of and interest payments, if any, on that
          series of debt securities.

In the case of defeasance, the opinion must be based on a ruling of the
Internal Revenue Service or a change in United States federal income tax law
occurring after the date of the Indenture relating to the debt securities of
such series, because this result would not occur under current tax law, see
Section 10.1.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no discharge, defeasance or covenant
defeasance described above will affect the following obligations to, or rights
of, the holders of any series of debt securities:

     o    rights of registration of transfer and exchange of debt securities
          of the applicable series;

     o    rights of substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
          stolen debt securities of the applicable series;

     o    rights of holders of debt securities of the applicable series to
          receive payments of principal thereof, premium, if any; and
          interest, if any, thereon, upon the original due dates therefore,
          but not upon acceleration, and to receive mandatory sinking fund
          payments thereon when due, if any;

     o    rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the trustee;

     o    rights of holders of debt securities of a series as beneficiaries
          with respect to property so deposited with the trustee payable to
          all or any of them; and

                                      16



     o    obligations of the Obligors to maintain an office or agency in
          respect of debt securities of the series, see Section 10.1.

     The Obligors may exercise the defeasance option with respect to any
series of debt securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of the covenant
defeasance option with respect to any series of debt securities. If the
Obligors exercise the defeasance option with respect to any series of debt
securities, payment of that series of debt securities may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default with respect to that series of debt securities.
If the Obligors exercise the covenant defeasance option with respect to any
series of debt securities, payment of that series of debt securities may not
be accelerated by reason of an Event of Default with respect to the covenants
to which such covenant defeasance is applicable. However, if acceleration were
to occur by reason of another Event of Default, the realizable value at the
acceleration date of the cash and U.S. Government Obligations in the
defeasance trust could be less than the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, and any mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, then due on
the series of debt securities, in that the required deposit in the defeasance
trust is based upon scheduled cash flow rather than market value, which will
vary depending upon interest rates and other factors.

     Modification of the Indenture. Each Indenture provides that the Obligors
and the trustee may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of
the holders of the debt securities to:

     o    evidence the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of
          any of the Obligors under that Indenture,

     o    add covenants or new events of default for the protection of the
          holders of the debt securities,

     o    cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in the Indenture;

     o    establish the form and terms of debt securities of any series;

     o    evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee;

     o    in the case of Senior Debt Securities, secure those debt securities;

     o    designate a bank or trust company other than the trustee specified
          in the applicable prospectus supplement to act as trustee for a
          series of debt securities;

     o    modify the existing covenants and events of default solely in
          respect of, or add new covenants and events of default that apply
          solely to, debt securities not yet issued and outstanding on the
          date of the supplemental indenture;

     o    provide for the issuance of debt securities of any series in coupon
          form and exchangeability of those debt securities for fully
          registered debt securities;

     o    modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture as
          necessary to effect the qualification of the Indenture under the
          Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and to add provisions expressly
          permitted by that Act; and

     o    modify the provisions to provide for the denomination of debt
          securities in foreign currencies that will not adversely affect the
          interests of the holders of the debt securities in any material
          respect, see Section 8.1.

     Each Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Obligors and the
trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of debt securities of each series then outstanding
and affected, to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate
any of the provisions of, the applicable Indenture or any supplemental
indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the debt
securities of that series; provided that the Obligors and the trustee may not,
without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected
thereby:

     o    extend the stated final maturity of any debt security, reduce the
          principal amount thereof, reduce the rate or extend the time of
          payment of interest, if any, thereon, reduce or alter the method of
          computation of any amount payable on redemption, repayment or
          purchase by the issuer, change the coin or currency in which
          principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, are payable,
          reduce the amount of the principal of any original issue discount
          security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, impair
          or affect the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
          payment or repayment thereof or, if applicable, adversely affect any
          right of prepayment at the option of the holder or, in the case of
          K. Hovnanian Indentures, make any change adverse to the interests of
          the holders in the terms and conditions of the guarantee; or

                                      17



     o    reduce the stated percentage in aggregate principal amount of debt
          securities of any series issued under the Indenture, see Section
          8.2.

     Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance. Except as otherwise provided
in the applicable prospectus supplement, the K. Hovnanian Indentures provide
that K. Hovnanian or the guarantor may, and the Hovnanian Indentures provide
that Hovnanian may, without the consent of the holders of debt securities,
consolidate with, merge into or transfer, exchange or dispose of all of its
properties to, any other corporation or partnership organized under the laws
of the United States, provided that:

     o    the successor corporation assumes all obligations of K. Hovnanian or
          Hovnanian, as the case may be, by supplemental indenture
          satisfactory in form to the applicable trustee executed and
          delivered to that trustee, under the Indentures and the debt
          securities,

     o    immediately after giving effect to the consolidation, merger,
          exchange or other disposition, no Event of Default, and no event
          which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event
          of Default, will have occurred and be continuing; and

     o    certain other conditions are met, see Section 9.1.

     Condition for Release of K. Hovnanian. Except as otherwise provided in a
prospectus supplement, each K. Hovnanian Indenture provides that K. Hovnanian
may be released from its obligations under the K. Hovnanian Indenture and the
K. Hovnanian debt securities, without the consent of the holders of the K.
Hovnanian debt securities of any series, if Hovnanian or any successor to
Hovnanian has assumed the obligations of K. Hovnanian under those K. Hovnanian
Debt Securities. In the event of the release, a taxable sale or exchange of a
debt security for a new debt security will be deemed to occur. As a result, a
holder of a debt security may recognize gain or loss on the sale or exchange
and may be required to include in income different amounts during the
remaining term of the debt security than would have been included absent the
release.

     Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise provided in a prospectus
supplement, the definitions listed below are applicable to the discussions of
the Indentures, see Article One.

     "Consolidated Net Tangible Assets" means the aggregate amount of assets
included on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of Hovnanian and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, less applicable reserves and other properly
deductible items and after deducting therefrom all current liabilities and all
goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and
expense and other like intangibles, all in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

     "Indebtedness," with respect to any person, means, without duplication:

     o    the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on
          indebtedness for money borrowed of that person, indebtedness of that
          person evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar obligations,
          and any guaranty by that person of any indebtedness for money
          borrowed or indebtedness evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or
          similar obligations of any other person, whether the indebtedness or
          guaranty is outstanding on the date of the Indenture or is
          thereafter created, assumed or incurred;

     o    obligations of that person for the reimbursement of any Obligor on
          any letter of credit, banker's acceptance or similar credit
          transaction;

     o    the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on
          indebtedness incurred, assumed or guaranteed by that person in
          connection with the acquisition by it or any of its subsidiaries of
          any other businesses, properties or other assets;

     o    lease obligations of that person capitalized in accordance with
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 promulgated by
          the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other generally accepted
          accounting principles as may be from time to time in effect;

     o    any indebtedness of that person representing the balance deferred
          and unpaid of the purchase price of any property or interest
          therein, except any balance that constitutes an accrued expense or
          trade

                                    18



          payable and any guaranty, endorsement or other contingent obligation
          of that person in respect of any indebtedness of another that is
          outstanding on the date of the Indenture or is thereafter created,
          assumed or incurred by, that person;

     o    obligations of that person under interest rate, commodity or
          currency swaps, caps, collars, options and similar arrangements; and

     o    any amendments, modifications, refundings, renewals or extensions of
          any indebtedness or obligation described as Indebtedness in the
          above bullet points.

     "Restricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary of Hovnanian other than an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, and any Subsidiary of Hovnanian that was an
Unrestricted Subsidiary but which, subsequent to the date of the Indentures,
is designated by the board of directors of Hovnanian to be a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided, however, that Hovnanian may not designate any Subsidiary
to be a Restricted Subsidiary if Hovnanian would thereby breach any covenant
or agreement contained in the Indentures, on the assumptions that any
Outstanding Indebtedness of the Subsidiary was incurred at the time of the
designation.

     "Subsidiary" of any specified Person means any corporation of which that
Person, or that Person and one or more Subsidiaries of that Person, or any one
or more Subsidiaries of that Person, directly or indirectly own voting
securities entitling any one or more of that Person and its Subsidiaries to
elect a majority of the directors, either at all times, or so long as there is
no default or contingency which permits the holders of any other class or
classes of securities to vote for the election of one or more directors.

     "Unrestricted Subsidiary" means:

     o    any Subsidiary of Hovnanian acquired or organized after the date of
          the Indentures, provided, however, that this Subsidiary shall not be
          a successor, directly or indirectly, to any Restricted Subsidiary;
          and

     o    any Subsidiary of Hovnanian substantially all the assets of which
          consist of stock or other securities of a Subsidiary or Subsidiaries
          of the character described in clause the above bullet point, unless
          and until that Subsidiary is designated to be a Restricted
          Subsidiary.

Provisions Applicable Solely to Senior Debt Securities

     General. Senior Debt Securities will be issued under a Senior Debt
Indenture and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
debt of the issuer of such Senior Debt Securities. At April 30, 2001,
Hovnanian had an aggregate of $99,747,000 of Indebtedness outstanding, which
would be subordinated to Senior Debt Securities.

     Limitations on Liens. The Senior Debt Indentures provide that, so long as
any Senior Debt Securities are outstanding, Hovnanian will not, and will not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or grant a
security interest in, or permit any mortgage, pledge, security interest or
other lien upon, any property or assets owned by Hovnanian or any Restricted
Subsidiary to secure any Indebtedness, without making effective provision
whereby outstanding Senior Debt Securities will be equally and ratably
secured.

     Under the terms of the Senior Debt Indentures, the limitation described
above does not apply to:

     o    any mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or encumbrance upon

          excludable from gross income of the holder of the security pursuant
          to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the purpose of

     o    any extension, renewal or refunding of any mortgage, pledge,
          security interest, lien or encumbrance described in the bullet
          points above on substantially the same property or assets
          theretofore subject thereto;

     o    any mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or encumbrance
          securing any Indebtedness in an amount which, together with all
          other Indebtedness secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest,
          lien or encumbrance that is not otherwise permitted by the foregoing
          provisions, does not at the time of the incurrence of the
          Indebtedness so secured exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible
          Assets;

     o    deposits or pledges to secure the payment of workmen's compensation,

          that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

     o    liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges not yet

          transactions not securing any other indebtedness.

For the purpose of this "Limitation on Liens" provision, "security interest"
will include the interest of the lessor under a lease with a term of three
years or more that should be, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, recorded as a capital lease and any lease of property or assets
not acquired from Hovnanian or any Restricted Subsidiary in contemplation of
that lease will be treated as though the lessee had purchased the property or
assets from the lessor, see Section 3.6 of the Senior Debt Indentures.

Provisions Applicable Solely to Senior Subordinated Debt Securities and
Subordinated Debt Securities

     Subordination. The Subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinate and
junior in right of payment, to the extent described in the Subordinated Debt
Indentures, to all Senior Indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities will be

                                      20



subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent described in the
Senior Subordinated Debt Indentures, to all Senior Indebtedness of the
Obligor. The Senior Subordinated Debt Securities will rank senior to all
existing and future Indebtedness of the Obligor that is neither Senior
Indebtedness of the Obligor nor Senior Subordinated Indebtedness and only
Indebtedness of the Obligor that is Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor will
rank senior to the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with the
subordination provisions of the Senior Subordinated Debt Indentures.

     "Senior Indebtedness" of the Obligor is defined in the Subordinated Debt
Indentures and the Senior Subordinated Debt Indentures as Indebtedness of the
Obligor outstanding at any time, other than the Indebtedness evidenced by the
debt securities of any series, except:

     o    any Indebtedness as to which, by the terms of the instrument
          creating or evidencing the same, it is provided that the
          Indebtedness is not senior or prior in right of payment to the debt
          securities or is pari passu or subordinate by its terms in right of
          payment to the debt securities;

     o    renewals, extensions and modifications of any such Indebtedness;

     o    any Indebtedness of the Obligor to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the
          Obligor;

     o    interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating certain
          events of bankruptcy or insolvency unless that interest is an
          allowed claim enforceable against the Obligor in a proceeding under
          federal or state bankruptcy laws; and

     o    trade payables.

     "Senior Subordinated Indebtedness" is defined in the Hovnanian Senior
Subordinated Debt Indenture as the Hovnanian Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities and any other Indebtedness of Hovnanian that ranks pari passu with
the Hovnanian Senior Subordinated Debt Securities. Any Indebtedness of
Hovnanian that is subordinate or junior by its terms in right of payment to
any other Indebtedness of Hovnanian will be subordinate to Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness of Hovnanian unless the instrument creating or evidencing the
same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding specifically provides that
this Indebtedness is to rank pari passu with other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness of Hovnanian and is not subordinated by its terms to any
Indebtedness of Hovnanian that is not Senior Indebtedness of Hovnanian.

     "Senior Subordinated Indebtedness" is defined in the K. Hovnanian Senior
Subordinated Debt Indenture as the K. Hovnanian Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities, the guarantee and any other Indebtedness of K. Hovnanian or the
guarantor that ranks pari passu with the K. Hovnanian Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities. Any Indebtedness of K. Hovnanian or the guarantor that is
subordinate or junior by its terms in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of K. Hovnanian or the guarantor will be subordinate to Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness unless the instrument creating or evidencing the
same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding specifically provides that
such Indebtedness will rank pari passu with other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness and is not subordinated by its terms to any Indebtedness of K.
Hovnanian or the guarantor, which is not Senior Indebtedness of K. Hovnanian
or Senior Indebtedness of the gurantor.

     "Subordinated Indebtedness" of the Obligors means the Senior Subordinated
Debt Securities, the guarantees, any other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of
that Obligor and any other Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right
of payment to Senior Indebtedness of that Obligor.

          If:

     o    the Obligor should default in the payment of any principal of,
          premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Senior Indebtedness of
          the Obligor when the same becomes due and payable, whether at
          maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of
          acceleration or otherwise or

     o    any other default with respect to Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor
          occurs and the maturity of the Senior Indebtedness has been
          accelerated in accordance with its terms, then, upon written notice
          of the default to the Obligor by the holders of the Senior
          Indebtedness or any trustee therefor, unless and until the default
          is cured or waived or has ceased to exist or the acceleration has
          been rescinded, no direct or indirect payment, in cash, property or
          securities, by set-off or otherwise, will be made or agreed to be
          made for principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any
          of the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities or the Subordinated Debt
          Securities, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or
          other acquisition of the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities or the
          Subordinated Debt

                                      21



          Securities other than those made in capital stock of Hovnanian, or
          cash in lieu of fractional shares thereof, see Sections 13.1 and
          13.4 of the Senior Subordinated Debt Indentures and Sections 13.1
          and 13.4 of the Subordinated Debt Indentures.

     If any default, other than a default described in the bullet points
directly above, occurs under the Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor, pursuant
to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately or the expiration
of any applicable grace periods occurs, a "Senior Nonmonetary Default", then,
upon the receipt by the Obligor and the trustee of written notice thereof, a
"payment notice", from or on behalf of holders of 25% or more of the aggregate
principal amount of Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to prohibit the
payment and other action by the Obligor in accordance with the following
provisions of this paragraph, the Obligor may not make any payment or take any
other action that would be prohibited by the bullet points directly above
during the period, the "payment blockage period" commencing on the date of
receipt of the payment notice and ending on the earlier of

     o    the date, if any, on which the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
          or their representative notify the trustee that the Senior
          Nonmonetary Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist or the
          Senior Indebtedness to which the Senior Nonmonetary Default relates
          is discharged or

     o    the 179th day after the date of receipt of the payment notice.

Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding bullet
points, the Obligor may resume payments on the Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities and the Subordinated Debt Securities after the payment blockage
period.

     If

     o    without the consent of the Obligor a receiver, conservator,
          liquidator or trustee of the Obligor or of any of its property is
          appointed by the order or decree of any court or agency or
          supervisory authority having jurisdiction, and the decree or order
          remains in effect for more than 60 days, the Obligor is adjudicated
          bankrupt or insolvent, any of its property is sequestered by court
          order and that order remains in effect for more than 60 days, or a
          petition is filed against the Obligor under any state or federal
          bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of
          debt, dissolution, liquidation or receivership law of any
          jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect, and is not
          dismissed within 60 days after such filing;

     o    the Obligor:

          o    commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking
               liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
               readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or other relief
               with respect to itself or its debt or other liabilities under
               any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
               hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
               receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it
               or any substantial part of its property;

          o    consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking
               possession by any of the above officials in an involuntary case
               or other proceeding commenced against it;

          o    fails generally to, or cannot, pay its debts generally as they
               become due;

          o    takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the
               foregoing; or

     o    any Subsidiary of the Obligor takes, suffers or permits to exist any
          of the events or conditions referred to in any of the above bullet
          points,

then all Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor, including any interest thereon
accruing after the commencement of any proceedings, will first be paid in full
before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other
property, is made by the Obligor to any holder of Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities on account of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities, as the case may be.

     Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other
property, other than securities of the Obligor or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which
is subordinate, at least to the

                                      22



extent provided in the subordination provisions with respect to the
indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities or the
Subordinated Debt Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Obligor then outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under
a plan of reorganization or readjustment, that would otherwise, but for the
subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Senior
Subordinated Debt Securities or the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series
will be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of
the Obligor in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders
until all Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor, including any interest thereon
accruing after the commencement of proceedings, has been paid in full. In the
event of any proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect
to Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor, the holders of Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the Obligor
ranking on a parity with the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities, will be
entitled to be repaid from the remaining assets of the Obligor the amounts at
that time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities and such other
obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash,
property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or
obligations of the Obligor ranking junior to the Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities, including the Subordinated Debt Securities, and such other
obligations, see Section 13.1 of the Senior Subordinated Debt Indentures and
Section 13.1 of the Subordinated Debt Indentures.

     If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash,
securities or other property, other than securities of the Obligor or any
other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the
payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in the
subordination provisions with respect to the Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities or the Subordinated Debt Securities, to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Obligor then outstanding and to any securities issued in
respect thereof under the plan of reorganization or readjustment, will be
received by the trustee, or any holder of any Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities in contravention of any of the
terms of the Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture or the Subordinated Debt
Indenture, as the case may be, such payment or distribution of securities will
be received in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid over or delivered
and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor then
outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among the holders
for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor
remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all the Senior Indebtedness of
the Obligor in full, see Section 13.1 of the Senior Subordinated Debt
Indentures and Section 13.1 of the Subordinated Debt Indentures.

     By reason of the subordination, in the event of the insolvency of the
Obligor, holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Obligor may receive more,
ratably, than holders of the Senior Subordinated Debt Securities or
Subordinated Debt Securities of the Obligor. Subordination will not prevent
the occurrence of any Event of Default, as defined in the Indentures, or limit
the right of acceleration in respect of the Senior Subordinated Debt
Securities or Subordinated Debt Securities.

Concerning the Trustee

     Information concerning the trustee for a series of debt securities will
be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of debt
securities. Any of the trustees under the Indentures may make loans to
Hovnanian or K. Hovnanian in the normal course of business.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

     The authorized capital stock of Hovnanian is 100,100,000 shares
consisting of 87,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, 13,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
the "Class B Common Stock", and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value
$.01 per share, the "Preferred Stock", in the series and with the voting
powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
as may be fixed from time to time by the board of directors for each series.
The following summary description of certain provisions of Hovnanian's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the "Certificate of Incorporation", and
By-laws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to those provisions.

Common Stock

     As of June 1, 2001, 20,450,766 shares of Class A Common Stock and
7,504,007 shares of Class B Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The
Class A Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. There is no
established public trading market for the Class B Common Stock. In order to
trade Class B Common Stock, the shares must be converted into Class A Common
Stock on a one-for-one basis. Any offering of common stock made hereby will
consist only of Class A Common Stock. The outstanding Class A Common Stock is,
and any Class A Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus and any
prospectus supplement when issued and paid for will be, fully paid and
non-assessable.

                                      23



     Dividends. Dividends on the Class A Common Stock will be paid if, when
and as determined by the board of directors of Hovnanian out of funds legally
available for this purpose. Some debt instruments to which Hovnanian is a
party contain restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. At April 30,
2001, approximately $94,944,000 of retained earnings was free of restrictions
on the payment of cash dividends, however Hovnanian was limited to 10,000,000
of dividends in any twelve-month period. Under the terms of Hovnanian's
revised credit facility, which is expected to close by the end of August 2001,
approximately $25,000,000 of retained earnings would have been free of
restrictions on the payment of cash dividends at April 30, 2001. The amount of
any regular cash dividend payable on a share of Class A Common Stock will be
an amount equal to 110% of the corresponding regular cash dividend payable on
a share of Class B Common Stock. Hovnanian has never paid dividends nor does
it currently intend to pay dividends.

     Voting Rights. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote
for each share held by them on all matters presented to shareholders. Holders
of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share.

     Liquidation Rights. After satisfaction of the preferential liquidation
rights of any Preferred Stock, the holders of the Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock are entitled to share ratably as a single class in the
distribution of all remaining net assets.

     Preemptive and Other Rights. The holders of Class A Common Stock do not
have preemptive rights as to additional issues of common stock or conversion
rights. The shares of Class A Common Stock are not subject to redemption or to
any further calls or assessments and are not entitled to the benefit of any
sinking fund provisions. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of
Class A Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the
rights of the holder of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that Hovnanian
may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

     The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to
issue from time to time up to 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, in one or
more series, and with the voting powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, as may be fixed from time to time by the
board of directors for each series. No shares of Preferred Stock have been
issued and Hovnanian has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock. The Preferred Stock, however, could be used by Hovnanian's board of
directors without further action by Hovnanian's stockholders as an
anti-takeover device.


                                      24



       DESCRIPTION OF STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND STOCK PURCHASE UNITS

     Hovnanian may issue Stock Purchase Contracts representing contracts
obligating holders to purchase from Hovnanian and Hovnanian to sell to the
holders a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred
Stock at a future date or dates. The price per share of Class A Common Stock
or Preferred Stock may be fixed at the time the Stock Purchase Contracts are
issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in
the Stock Purchase Contracts.

     The Stock Purchase Contracts may be issued separately or as a part of
units, often known as Stock Purchase Units, consisting of a Stock Purchase
Contract and either

     o    debt securities, or

     o    debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury
          securities,

securing the holder's obligations to purchase the Class A Common Stock or
Preferred Stock under the Stock Purchase Contracts. The Stock Purchase
Contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the Stock
Purchase Units or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded
on some basis. The Stock Purchase Contracts may require holders to secure
their obligations in a specified manner and in certain circumstances we may
deliver newly issued prepaid Stock Purchase Contracts, often known as prepaid
securities, upon release to a holder of any collateral securing each holder's
obligations under the original Stock Purchase Contract.

     The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any Stock
Purchase Contracts or Stock Purchase Units and, if applicable, prepaid
securities. The description in the prospectus supplement will not contain all
of the information that you may find useful. For more information, you should
review the Stock Purchase Contracts, the collateral arrangements and
depositary arrangements, if applicable, relating to such Stock Purchase
Contracts or Stock Purchase Units and, if applicable, the prepaid securities
and the document pursuant to which the prepaid securities will be issued,
which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of such Stock
Purchase Contracts or Stock Purchase Units and, if applicable, prepaid
securities.

     Hovnanian may issue warrants, including warrants to purchase Class A
Common Stock or Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Hovnanian debt
securities. K. Hovnanian may issue warrants to purchase K. Hovnanian Debt
Securities. All obligations of K. Hovnanian under the K. Hovnanian warrants

Hovnanian under the warrants may be guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors.
Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement,
each a "warrant agreement" to be entered into between Hovnanian and/or K.
Hovnanian and a warrant agent, the "warrant agent". The warrant agent will act
solely as an agent of Hovnanian and/or K. Hovnanian in connection with the
warrants of that series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian and the selling shareholders may sell the
securities to or through underwriters or dealers, and also may sell the
offered securities directly to one or more other purchasers or through agents.
The applicable prospectus supplement will list the names of any underwriters
or agents involved in the sale of the offered securities and any applicable
commissions or discounts.

     Underwriters, dealers or agents may offer and sell the offered securities
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or from time to time at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In connection with the sale
of the securities, underwriters or agents may be deemed to have received
compensation from Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian or the selling shareholders in the
form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions
from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters
or agents may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as
agent.

     The Preferred Stock, debt securities and warrants, when first issued,
will have no established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or
through whom offered securities are sold by Hovnanian or K. Hovnanian for
public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but the
underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any
market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the
liquidity of the trading market for any offered securities.

     Any underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of
the offered securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and
commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the
offered securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers or agents may be entitled,
under agreements entered into with Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian or the selling
shareholders, to indemnification against or contribution toward certain civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian or
the selling shareholders will authorize underwriters or other persons acting
as its agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities
from it pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future
date. Institutions with which contracts may be made include commercial and
savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies,
educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases will be
subject to the condition that the purchase of the securities will not at the
time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which
such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and agents will not have any
responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the offered
securities will be passed upon for Hovnanian and K. Hovnanian by Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett, New York, New York. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett will rely,
as to matters of New Jersey law, on the opinion of Peter S. Reinhart, Esq.,
Senior Vice-President and General Counsel for Hovnanian and K. Hovnanian.
Certain legal matters in connection with the offered securities may also be
passed upon for any agents or underwriters by counsel specified in the
prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Hovnanian is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware grants each corporation organized
thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of
the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he
acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an
amendment thereto validly approved by stockholders to limit or eliminate the
personal liability of the members of its board of directors for violations of
the directors' fiduciary duty of care.

     Article EIGHTH of Hovnanian's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
contains the following provisions with respect to indemnification:

          No director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company
     or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
     a director; provided, however, that this Article shall not eliminate or
     limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's
     duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
     omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
     knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
     Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
     derived an improper personal benefit. This Article shall not eliminate or
     limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior
     to the date on which this Article becomes effective. Any repeal or
     modification of this Article Eighth shall not adversely affect any right
     or protection of a director of the Company existing hereunder with
     respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal
     or modification.

     Hovnanian maintains a liability insurance policy providing coverage for
its directors and officers in an amount up to an aggregate limit of
$10,000,000 for any single occurrence.

     K. Hovnanian is a New Jersey corporation. Subsection 2 of Title 14A,
Section 3-5 of the New Jersey Statutes grants any corporation organized for
any purpose under any general or special law of New Jersey the power to
indemnify a corporate agent against his expenses and liabilities in connection
with any proceeding involving the corporate agent by reason of his being or
having been such a corporate agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right
of the corporation, if (a) such corporate agent acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation; and (b) with respect to any criminal proceeding, such
corporate agent had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not by itself create
a presumption that the corporate agent did not meet such applicable standards
of conduct. Section 3 of Title 14A, Section 3-5 of the New Jersey Statutes
grants any corporation organized under any general or special law of New
Jersey the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation

                                     II-1



against his expenses in connection with any proceeding by or in the right of
the corporation, which involves him by reason of his having been a corporate
agent, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. However, no
indemnification shall be provided in respect of any claim, issue or matter in
which the corporate agent shall be adjudged to be liable to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the Superior Court or the court in which
the proceeding was brought determines, upon application, that despite the
adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, the
corporate agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses
deemed proper by the Superior Court or such other court. Corporations
organized for any purpose under any general or special law of New Jersey shall
indemnify a corporate agent against expenses to the extent that such corporate
agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in any proceeding
referred to in subsections 2 and 3 of Title 14A, Section 3-5.

     Subsection 4 provides that any indemnification under these subsections,
unless ordered by a court under subsection 3, may be made by the corporation
only as authorized in a specific case upon a determination that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the corporate agent met
the applicable standard of (a) good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
(b) with respect to any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. Subsection 5 provides that unless provided
for in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, such determination shall be
made (a) by the board of directors or a committee thereof, acting by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to or
otherwise involved in the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable,
or even if obtainable and such quorum directs, by written opinion of
independent legal counsel designated by the board of directors; or (c) by the
shareholders if the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or a resolution of
the board of directors or of the shareholders so directs. Subsection 7
provides that if a corporation on application by a corporate agent fails or
refuses to provide indemnification as required or permitted by this section, a
corporate agent may apply to a court for an award of indemnification by the
corporation. This section does not exclude any other rights to which a
corporate agent may be entitled under a certificate of incorporation, bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise; provided that no
indemnification is made if a final adjudication adverse to the corporate agent
establishes that his acts or omissions (a) were in breach of his duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, as defined under New Jersey
law, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law or (c)
resulted in receipt by the corporate agent of an improper personal benefit.

     Except as required by subsection 4, no indemnification shall be made or
expenses advanced by a corporation or shall be ordered by a court if such
action would be inconsistent with a provision of the certificate of
incorporation, a bylaw, a resolution of the board of directors or of the
shareholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action in effect at the
time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding,
which prohibits, limits or otherwise conditions the exercise of
indemnification powers by the corporation or the rights to which a corporate
agent may be entitled.

Item 16. Exhibits.

     See Exhibit Index.

Item 17. Undertakings.

     The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
     aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
     the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
     or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
     securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
     deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
     range may be reflected in the from of prospectus filed with the
     Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
     volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
     aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
     Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
     of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
     any material change to such information in the registration statement;

                                     II-2



provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

     The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Hovnanian annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrants pursuant to the provisions set forth in response to Item 15, or
otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake to file an application for
the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under
subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with
the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2)
of the Act.

                                     II-3




                                  SIGNATURES
