(2)if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period; and

(3)notwithstanding the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2), interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements with a term of at least one year after the Transaction Date relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements.

(8)encumbrances or restrictions arising in connection with Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that any such encumbrances and restrictions are not materially more restrictive than those contained in the agreements creating or evidencing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

SECTION 4.11 Limitations on Asset Sales.

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless: (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale and (2) at least 70% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For purposes of clause (2) of this Section 4.11(a), the following are deemed to be cash: (i) the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness; (ii) the amount of any obligations received from such transferee that are within 90 days converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually

-31-

so received); (iii) the Fair Market Value of any assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in the Permitted Business; or (iv) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale the Fair Market Value of which, when taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received since the Issue Date pursuant to this clause (iv) (and not subsequently converted into Cash Equivalents that are treated as Net Available Proceeds of an Asset Sale) does not exceed $20,000,000 at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.11.

(b)In the event that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 360 days following the receipt of the Net Available Proceeds, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to:

(1)permanently repay, prepay, redeem or repurchase (x) Obligations under Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens pursuant to clauses (13), (14), (16), (17) and (18) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (whose commitments shall be correspondingly reduced permanently upon such repayment or prepayment), (y) Obligations under the Notes or any other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that if the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay or prepay any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company will reduce Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or prepayments) by, at its option, (A) redeeming Notes as described under Section 3.12, (B) making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.11(c) and (d) for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes for at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased or (C) purchasing Notes through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases, in a manner that complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law, at market prices (which may be less than par); or (z) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(2)acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any capital stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of capital stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(3)make a capital expenditure;

(4)acquire Additional Assets or improve or develop existing assets to be used in a Permitted Business; or

(5)make any combination of the foregoing payments, redemptions, repurchases, expenditures or investments;

provided, that in the case of Section 4.11(b)(2), (3), (4) or (5), a binding commitment to acquire the assets or Equity Interests of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business, invest in Additional Assets or to make such capital expenditures shall be treated as a permitted application of an amount of Net

-32-

Available Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such amount of Net Available Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Available Proceeds are actually applied in such manner within the later of 360 days from the consummation of the Asset Sale and 180 days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment.

Pending the final application of any Net Available Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Available Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c)Any Net Available Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.11(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20,000,000, the Company will provide notice of such Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) and if the Company elects (or is required by the terms of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness), all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, in denominations of $2,000 initial principal amount and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, that may be purchased with an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, or, in the case of Pari Passu Indebtedness represented by securities sold at a discount, not less than the amount of the accreted value thereof at such time, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. In the event that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company prepays any Pari Passu Indebtedness that is outstanding under a revolving credit or other committed loan facility pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall cause the related loan commitment to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid. After the completion of an Asset Sale, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make an Asset Sale Offer prior to the time they are required to do so by the first sentence of this paragraph. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary completes such an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Net Available Proceeds, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.11 with respect to the application of such Net Available Proceeds, and any such Net Available Proceeds remaining after completion of such Asset Sale Offer may be used by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company will select such other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased validly tendered and not withdrawn. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(d)The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.11, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue of such compliance.

SECTION 4.12 Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

-33-

(a)The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2,500,000, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(1)such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis by the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary; and

(2)the Company delivers to the Trustee:

(A)with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value expended or received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $10,000,000, an Officers’ Certificate of the Company certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 4.12(a)(1) and a Secretary’s Certificate which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the Independent Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction; and

(B)with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value expended or received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of $25,000,000 or more, the certificates described in 4.12(a)(2)(A) and (x) a written opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or (y) a written appraisal supporting the value of such Affiliate Transaction, in either case, issued by an Independent Financial Advisor.

(b)The provisions of Section 4.12(a) shall not apply to:

(1)transactions exclusively between or among (a) the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, in each case, that no Affiliate of the Company (other than another Restricted Subsidiary) owns Equity Interests of any such Restricted Subsidiary;

(2)reasonable director, officer, employee and consultant compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock and other benefit plans) and indemnification and insurance arrangements;

(3)the allocation of employee services among the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Joint Ventures on a fair and equitable basis in the ordinary course of business; provided that, in the case of any such Subsidiary or Joint Venture, no officer, director or stockholder of the Company beneficially owns any Equity Interests in such Subsidiary or Joint Venture (other than indirectly through ownership of Equity Interests in the Company);

(4)any Permitted Investment (other than any Permitted Investment made in accordance with clause (1)(b), clause (14) or clause (15) of the definition of “Permitted Investments” to the extent that such Permitted Investment under clause (14) or clause (15) is in a Joint Venture or Unrestricted Subsidiary of which any officer, director or stockholder of the Company beneficially owns any Equity Interests (other than indirectly through ownership of Equity Interests in the Company));

(5)any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any extension, amendment or modification thereto (so long as any such extension, amendment or modification satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 4.12(a)(1)) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(6)Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b)(1) and (4)-(7);

(7)licensing of trademarks to, and allocation of overhead, sales and marketing, travel and like expenses among, the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Joint Ventures on a fair and equitable basis in the ordinary course of business; provided that, in the case of any such Subsidiary or Joint Venture, no officer, director or stockholder of the Company beneficially owns any Equity Interests

-34-

in such Subsidiary or Joint Venture (other than indirectly through ownership of Equity Interests in the Company);

(8)issuances, sales or other dispositions of Qualified Equity Interests for cash by the Company to an Affiliate; or

(9)transactions in the ordinary course of business with Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are engaged in the business of originating mortgages on behalf of new home customers of the Company and its homebuilding Subsidiaries; provided that such transactions are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.13 Covenant Suspension.

(a)The first day (such date, a “Suspension Date”) on which (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies; and (2) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the covenants listed below (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will be suspended and the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:


(i)	Section 4.08,


(ii)	Section 4.09,


(iii)	Section 4.10,


(iv)	Section 4.11,


(v)	Section 4.12,


(vi)	Section 4.15,

(vii)Section 4.17 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor on or after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Date), and

(viii)clause (3) of Section 5.01(a).

(b)If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is below an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and no Default is in existence and continuing at such time (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that no Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would not have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants had remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

(c)On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or 4.08(b) (in each case to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a) or (b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under Section 4.08(b)(3). Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as

-35-

Restricted Payments under Section 4.09 will be made as though the covenant described under Section 4.09 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.09(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made during the Suspension Period.

(d)During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

(e)Promptly following the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date, the Company will provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date has occurred, monitor the ratings of the Notes or notify the Holders of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon written request.

SECTION 4.14 Change of Control.

(a)Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in Section 4.14(b).

(b)Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder and any agent appointed for such purpose with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:

(1)that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

(2)the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after giving effect to such Change of Control);

(3)the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

(4)the instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased.

(c)Holders electing to have a Note repurchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the repurchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the agent or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the repurchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for repurchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased.

(d)On the repurchase date, all Notes repurchased by the Company under this Section 4.14 shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.

-36-

(e)The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and repurchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or if notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.12.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(g)The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

SECTION 4.15 Limitations on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if (1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation and (2) the Company would be permitted to make, at the time of such Designation, (a) a Permitted Investment or (b) an Investment pursuant to Section 4.09, in either case, in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary on such date.

No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” unless:

(1)neither the Company nor any of its other Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) (x) provides any direct or indirect credit support for any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness) or (y) is directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary other than, in each case, such Investments as are permitted pursuant to Section 4.09;

(2)such Subsidiary is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding (x) are no less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that would be reasonably expected to be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or (y) would be permitted as (a) an Affiliate Transaction under and in compliance with Section 4.12, (b) an Asset Sale under and in compliance with Section 4.11, (c) a Permitted Investment or (d) an Investment under and in compliance with Section 4.09;

(3)such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any direct or indirect obligation (x) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests or (y) to maintain or preserve the Person’s financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results; and

(4)such Subsidiary has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except for any guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Equity Interest of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, which guarantee is not recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and except to the extent the amount thereof constitutes a Restricted Payment permitted pursuant to Section 4.09.

-37-

If, at any time after the Designation, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of the date and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 4.08 or the Lien is not permitted under Section 4.16, the Company shall be in default of the applicable covenant.

The Company may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Redesignation”) only if (1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation and (2) all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of this Indenture.

All Designations and Redesignations must be evidenced by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company delivered to the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 4.16 Limitations on Liens.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien (a “Triggering Lien”) of any nature whatsoever against any assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (including Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary), or any proceeds, income or profits therefrom securing any Indebtedness, except Permitted Liens, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes (or under a Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Subsidiary Guarantor) are secured on an equal and ratable basis (or on a superior basis, in the event the other Indebtedness is Subordinated Indebtedness) with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Triggering Lien.

SECTION 4.17 Additional Guarantees.

After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees Indebtedness under any Credit Facility (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Facility) or other Indebtedness (limited to clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the definition thereof) which is in excess of $5,000,000, in each case of either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, to execute and deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of incurring such guarantee, a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will provide a Guarantee. Each Guarantee shall be subject to the terms and limitations, including certain customary release provisions, contained in this Indenture.

The Company at any time at its sole option may cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture to this Indenture and delivering the documents required by this Indenture.

SECTION 4.18 Reports to Holders.

Whether or not required by the SEC, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, from and after the Issue Date and within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (including any grace periods or extensions permitted by the SEC):

(5)all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file these Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

-38-

Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, an audit report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and

(6)all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file these reports.

In addition, whether or not required by the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.18 with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept the filing) and make the information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

At any time that there shall be one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries that, in the aggregate, hold more than 15.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets, the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

In addition, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, it shall furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

The Company will be deemed to have furnished the information and reports described above to the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors if the Company has filed such information and reports with the SEC using the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) and such information and reports are publicly available or, if the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, if the Company posts such information and reports on its website within the time periods specified above. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such information and reports have been filed with the SEC or posted on the Company’s website, and the delivery of such information and reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only. The Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such information or reports to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.

The Company will also deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the signing Officers’ knowledge, no Default has occurred under this Indenture, or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, a description of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company and/or Subsidiary Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the covenants set forth in this Indenture.

(A)is caused by a failure to pay when due principal on such Indebtedness within the applicable express grace period, or

(B)results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express final maturity, and

in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in Section 6.01(10)(A) or (B) has occurred and is continuing, aggregates $25,000,000 or more; provided, however, that if any such default is cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded or such Indebtedness is repaid within a period of 10 days from the continuation of such default beyond any applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default under this Indenture and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall automatically be rescinded so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(c)The last paragraph of Section 6.01 of the Indenture shall be amended by replacing that paragraph of the Indenture in its entirety with the following, but only with respect to the Notes:

A Default under clause (4) or (8) of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Default (or, in the case of a Default under clause (4) of this Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) notify the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, fails to cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” For purposes of this Section 6.01, a Default under clause (9) of this Section 6.01 shall not be considered a Default under clause (4) or (8) of this Section 6.01.

(4)at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any guarantees outstanding (and the release from one or more of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s other guarantees may be conditioned upon the concurrent release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee) that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.17 except upon a discharge or release as a result of payment under such Guarantee;

(5)upon defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Article VIII; or

(6)upon the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture;

provided, however, that in the case of Section 10.04(a)(1), if such other Person is not a Subsidiary of the Company, then (i) such merger or consolidation must otherwise be permitted by this Indenture and (ii) the Company must provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Company will comply with its obligations, if any, under Section 4.11.

(b)The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt of a written request of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(i)shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(ii)if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted notes legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) hereof or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(A)if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

(B)if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

(C)if such Definitive Notes are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d)(i) hereof.

(iii)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4 hereof), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Company will make all payments on the Holder’s Notes to an account in the United States in accordance with those instructions. Otherwise, payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the Notes.

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended from time to time (the “Act”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Indenture and this Note, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

The Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, the Company shall use the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales to make an offer to all Holders to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be purchased with an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer.

8.Guarantee. The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

9.Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Without the prior consent of the Company, the Registrar is not required (1) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption, (2) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of a Note to be redeemed or (3) to register the transfer or exchange of a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

10.Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11.Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee or Paying Agent for payment.

12.Discharge and Defeasance. Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors deposit with the Trustee any combination of money or Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

13.Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture or any series of securities under the Indenture (including the Notes) may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the securities of such series then outstanding and (b) any existing Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of such series then outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes, or to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a merger or acquisition, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture (to the extent permitted by the Indenture), or to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits (including the addition of collateral) to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect in any

Ex-A-8

material respect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to comply with SEC rules and regulations or changes to applicable law, or to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum, or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of the Issue Date, or to allow any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes, or to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary.

14.Defaults and Remedies. Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes; (b) default in payment of principal on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption, upon purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; (c) failure by the Company to comply with other agreements or covenants in the Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $25 million; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; (f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $25 million; and (g) certain defaults with respect to Guarantees of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes 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. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest or a Default in complying with Section 5.01 of the Indenture) if a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

15.Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16.No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees.

17.Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

18.Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

19.CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as

Ex-A-9

contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

20.Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Attention: LGI Homes, Inc. Account Manager

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[ ] principal amount of the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) of LGI Homes, Inc. (with its successors and assigns, the “Company”).

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:



Name:

Address:

Taxpayer ID Number:

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (i) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (ii) inside the United States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (iii) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of an institutional accredited investor, in each case in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of $250,000, (iv) outside the United States in a transaction complying with the provisions of Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or

Ex-B-1

(vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (vi) subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (iii) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
