Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other party and for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of Notes (as defined herein):

WHEREAS, Hovnanian and the Issuer have duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Base Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of the Issuer’s unsecured senior debt securities (the “Securities”) and the Guarantees thereof to be issued in one or more series as in the Indenture provided;

WHEREAS, Hovnanian, the Issuer and the Guarantors desire and have requested the Trustee to join them in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture in order to establish and provide for the issuance by the Issuer of a series of Securities designated as its 85/8% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and guaranteed by Hovnanian and the Guarantors (as defined herein), on the terms set forth herein;

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of Hovnanian, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, and a valid amendment of, and supplement to, the Base Indenture have been done;

NOW, THEREFORE:

In consideration of the premises and the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the holders thereof Hovnanian, the Issuer and the Guarantors mutually covenant and agree with the Trustee, for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes, that the Base Indenture is supplemented and amended, to the extent expressed herein, as follows:

ARTICLE 1
SCOPE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE; GENERAL

Section 1.01. Scope of Supplemental Indenture; General. This Supplemental Indenture supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith, replaces the provisions of the Indenture, to which provisions reference is hereby made.

The changes, modifications and supplements to the Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes (which shall be initially in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000) and shall not apply to any other Securities that have or may be issued under the Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. Pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, there is hereby created and designated a series of Securities under the Indenture entitled “85/8% Senior Notes due 2017.” The Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Notes shall be guaranteed by Hovnanian and the Guarantors as provided in such form and the Indenture.

Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, the Issuer may issue additional notes subsequent to the Issue Date (such notes, the “Additional Notes”) of the same series as the Notes. In the event that the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Additional Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain the same “CUSIP” number for such Notes as is printed on the Notes outstanding at such time; provided, however, that if any series of Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date is determined, pursuant to

an Opinion of Counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to be a different class of security than the Notes outstanding at such time for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer may obtain a “CUSIP” number for such Notes that is different than the “CUSIP” number printed on the Notes then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class, including without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemption and Offers to Purchase, and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class from other Notes on any matter.

ARTICLE 2

(a) Hovnanian will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order as in the judgment of Hovnanian may be necessary so that the business of Hovnanian and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing in this Section prevents Hovnanian or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of Hovnanian,

desirable in the conduct of the business of Hovnanian and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(b) Hovnanian will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties, including, but not limited to, products liability insurance and public liability insurance, with reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are customary for corporations similarly situated in the industry in which Hovnanian and its Restricted Subsidiaries are then conducting business.

Section 3.04. Repurchase of Notes Upon Change of Control.

(a) In the event that there shall occur a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes on a date (the “Repurchase Date”) that is no later than 90 days after notice of the Change of Control, at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Repurchase Date.

(b) On or before the thirtieth day after any Change of Control, the Issuer is obligated to mail or cause to be mailed, to all Holders of record of Notes and to the Trustee a notice regarding the Change of Control and the repurchase right. The notice shall state the Repurchase Date, the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised, the price for the Notes and the procedure which the Holder must follow to exercise such right. Substantially simultaneously with mailing of the notice, the Issuer shall cause a copy of such notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. To exercise such right, the Holder of such Note must deliver, at least ten days prior to the Repurchase Date, written notice to the Issuer (or an agent designated by the Issuer for such purpose) of the Holder’s exercise of such right, together with the Note with respect to which the right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer; provided, however, that if mandated by applicable law, a Holder may be permitted to deliver such written notice nearer to the Repurchase Date than may be specified by the Issuer.

(c) The Issuer will comply with applicable law, including Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, if applicable, if the Issuer is required to give a notice of a right of repurchase as a result of a Change of Control.

Section 3.05. Limitations on Indebtedness.

(a) Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to create, incur, assume, become liable for or guarantee the payment of (collectively, an “incurrence”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) unless, after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on the date thereof would be at least 2.0 to 1.0.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Indenture will not prevent the incurrence of:

(i) Permitted Indebtedness,

(ii) Refinancing Indebtedness,

(iii) Non-Recourse Indebtedness,

(iv) any Guarantee of Indebtedness represented by the Notes, and

(v) any guarantee of Indebtedness incurred under Credit Facilities in compliance with the Indenture.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness may be incurred through the first paragraph of this covenant or by meeting the criteria of one or more of the types of Indebtedness described in the second paragraph of this covenant (or the definitions of the terms used therein), Hovnanian, in its sole discretion,

(i) may classify such item of Indebtedness under and comply with either of such paragraphs (or any of such definitions), as applicable,

(ii) may classify and divide such item of Indebtedness into more than one of such paragraphs (or definitions), as applicable, and

(iii) may elect to comply with such paragraphs (or definitions), as applicable, in any order.

(d) Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, in any event incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of Hovnanian or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be,

to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of Hovnanian or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

Section 3.06. Limitations on Restricted Payments.

(a) Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, Hovnanian could incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.05(a) hereof; and

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments (including the Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment) declared or made after May 4, 1999 does not exceed the sum of:

(A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Hovnanian on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from and including February 1, 1999 and ending on the last day of Hovnanian’s fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment (or in the event such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds of and the Fair Market Value of Property received by Hovnanian from (1) any capital contribution to Hovnanian after February 1, 1999 or any issue or sale after February 1, 1999 of Qualified Stock (other than to any Subsidiary of Hovnanian) and (2) the issue or sale after February 1, 1999 of any Indebtedness or other securities of Hovnanian convertible into or exercisable for Qualified Stock of Hovnanian that have been so converted or exercised, as the case may be, plus

(C) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment made after May 4, 1999, an amount (to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in (A)) equal to the lesser of (x) the return of capital with respect to such Investment (including

by dividend, distribution or sale of Capital Stock) and (y) the amount of such Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition or repayment of such Investment (to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in (A)), plus

(D) with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after May 4, 1999, in accordance with the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary (so long as the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, and only to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in (A)), an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the proportionate interest of Hovnanian or a Restricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the excess of (I) the total assets of such Subsidiary, valued on an aggregate basis at the lesser of book value and Fair Market Value thereof, over (II) the total liabilities of such Subsidiary, determined in accordance with GAAP, and (y) the Designation Amount at the time of such Subsidiary’s designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus

(E) $17 million, minus

(F) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments (other than Restricted Payments referred to in clause (iii) of paragraph (b) below) made after February 1, 1999 through May 4, 1999.

(b) Clauses (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (a) will not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend within 60 days of its declaration if such dividend could have been made on the date of its declaration without violation of the provisions of the Indenture;

(ii) the repurchase, redemption or retirement of any shares of Capital Stock of Hovnanian in exchange for, or out of the net proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of Hovnanian) of, other shares of Qualified Stock; and

(iii) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition, cancellation or retirement for value of Capital Stock, or options, warrants, equity appreciation rights or other rights to purchase or acquire Capital Stock, of Hovnanian or any Subsidiary held by officers or employees or former officers or employees of Hovnanian or any Subsidiary (or their estates or

beneficiaries under their estates) not to exceed $10 million in the aggregate since May 4, 1999;

provided, however that each Restricted Payment described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall be taken into account for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph.

(c) For purposes of determining the aggregate and permitted amounts of Restricted Payments made, the amount of any guarantee of any Investment in any Person that was initially treated as a Restricted Payment and which was subsequently terminated or expired, net of any amounts paid by Hovnanian or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such guarantee, shall be deducted.

(d) In determining the “Fair Market Value of Property” for purposes of clause (iii) of paragraph (a), Property other than cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities shall be deemed to be equal in value to the “equity value” of the Capital Stock or other securities issued in exchange therefor. The equity value of such Capital Stock or other securities shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Equity issued in the transaction (or issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Capital Stock or other securities issued in the transaction) multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Equity on its principal market on the date of the transaction (less, in the case of Capital Stock or other securities which require the payment of consideration at the time of conversion or exercise, the aggregate consideration payable thereupon) or (ii) if the Common Equity is not then traded on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, or if the Capital Stock or other securities issued in the transaction do not consist of Common Equity (or Capital Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Equity), the value (if more than $10 million) of such Capital Stock or other securities as determined by a nationally recognized investment banking firm retained by the Board of Directors of Hovnanian.

Section 3.07. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any loan, advance, guarantee or capital contribution to, or for the benefit of, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any property or assets to or for the benefit of, or purchase or lease any property or assets from, or enter into or amend any contract, agreement or understanding with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Hovnanian or any Affiliate of any of Hovnanian’s Subsidiaries or any holder of 10% or more of the Common Equity of Hovnanian (including any Affiliates of such holders), in a single transaction or series of related transactions (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), except for any Affiliate Transaction the terms of which are at least as favorable as the terms

which could be obtained by Hovnanian, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arm’s length basis with Persons who are not such a holder, an Affiliate of such a holder or an Affiliate of Hovnanian or any of Hovnanian’s Subsidiaries.

(b) In addition, Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into an Affiliate Transaction unless:

(i) with respect to any such Affiliate Transaction involving or having a value of more than $1 million, Hovnanian shall have (x) obtained the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors of Hovnanian and (y) either obtained the approval of a majority of Hovnanian’s disinterested directors or obtained an opinion of a qualified independent financial advisor to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to Hovnanian, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, and

(ii) with respect to any such Affiliate Transaction involving or having a value of more than $10 million, Hovnanian shall have (x) obtained the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors of Hovnanian and (y) delivered to the Trustee an opinion of a qualified independent financial advisor to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to Hovnanian, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

(i) any contract, agreement or understanding with, or for the benefit of, or plan for the benefit of, employees of Hovnanian or its Subsidiaries generally (in their capacities as such) that has been approved by the Board of Directors of Hovnanian,

(ii) Capital Stock issuances to directors, officers and employees of Hovnanian or its Subsidiaries pursuant to plans approved by the stockholders of Hovnanian,

(iii) any Restricted Payment otherwise permitted under Section 3.06 hereof,

(iv) any transaction between or among Hovnanian and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries (provided, however, no such transaction shall involve any other Affiliate of Hovnanian (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the

applicable amount constitutes a Restricted Payment permitted by the Indenture)),

(v) any transaction between one or more Restricted Subsidiaries and one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries where all of the payments to, or other benefits conferred upon, such Unrestricted Subsidiaries are substantially contemporaneously dividended, or otherwise distributed or transferred without charge, to Hovnanian or a Restricted Subsidiary,

(vi) issuances, sales or other transfers or dispositions of mortgages and collateralized mortgage obligations in the ordinary course of business between Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Hovnanian, and

(vii) the payment of reasonable and customary fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of Hovnanian, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 3.08. Limitations on Dispositions of Assets. (a) Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless (x) Hovnanian (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value thereof, and (y) not less than 70% of the consideration received by Hovnanian (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities.

The amount of (i) any Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness subordinated to the Notes) of Hovnanian or any Restricted Subsidiary that is actually assumed by the transferee in such Asset Disposition and (ii) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Hovnanian) of any property or assets received that are used or useful in a Real Estate Business, shall be deemed to be consideration required by clause (y) above for purposes of determining the percentage of such consideration received by Hovnanian or the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Disposition shall, within one year, at Hovnanian’s election, (1) be used by Hovnanian or a Restricted Subsidiary in the business of the construction and sale of homes conducted by Hovnanian and the Restricted Subsidiaries or any other business of Hovnanian or a Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time of such Asset Disposition or (2) to the extent not so used, be applied to make an Offer to Purchase Notes and, if Hovnanian or a Restricted Subsidiary elects or is required to do so repay, purchase or redeem any other unsubordinated Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis if the amount available for such repayment, purchase or redemption is less than the

aggregate amount of (i) the principal amount of the Notes tendered in such offer to purchase and (ii) the lesser of the principal amount, or accreted value, of such other unsubordinated Indebtedness, plus, in each case accrued interest to the date of repayment, purchase or redemption) at 100% of the principal amount or accreted value thereof, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase or repayment.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Hovnanian will not be required to apply such Net Cash Proceeds to the repurchase of Notes in accordance with clause (2) of the preceding sentence except to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds, together with the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of prior Asset Dispositions (other than those so used) which have not been applied in accordance with this provision and as to which no prior Offer to Purchase shall have been made, exceed 5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets and (B) in connection with an Asset Disposition, Hovnanian and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the requirements of clause (y) of the first sentence of the first paragraph of this covenant to the extent that the non-cash consideration received in connection with such Asset Disposition, together with the sum of all non-cash consideration received in connection with all prior Asset Dispositions that has not yet been converted into cash, does not exceed 5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets; provided, however, that when any non-cash consideration is converted into cash, such cash shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds and be subject to the preceding sentence.

Section 3.09. Offer to Purchase. (a) An “Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Issuer to purchase Notes as required by the Indenture. An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders. The Issuer will notify the Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

(b) The offer must include or state the following as to the terms of the Offer to Purchase:

(i) the provision of the Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to Purchase is being made;

(iii) the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing accrued interest;

(iv) an expiration date (the “expiration date”) not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of the offer, and a settlement date for purchase (the “purchase date”) not more than five Business Days after the expiration date;

(v) information concerning the business of Hovnanian and its Subsidiaries which the Issuer in good faith believes will enable the Holders to make an informed decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase, at a minimum to include

(B) a description of material developments in Hovnanian’s business subsequent to the date of the latest of the financial statements (including a description of the events requiring the Issuer to make the Offer to Purchase), and

(C) if applicable, appropriate pro forma financial information concerning the Offer to Purchase and the events requiring the Issuer to make the Offer to Purchase;

(vi) a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in a multiple of $1,000 principal amount;

(vii) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase;

(viii) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

(ix) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the Issuer pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue;

(x) on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

(xi) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Issuer or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

(xii) (A) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will purchase all such Notes, and (B) if the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Issuer will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount will be purchased;

(xiii) if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued; and

(xiv) if any Note contains a CUSIP or ISIN number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or ISIN number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(c) Prior to the purchase date, the Issuer will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date, the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part.

(d) The Issuer will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

Section 3.10. Limitations on Liens. Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any of its Property, or on any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, unless

contemporaneously therewith or prior thereto all payments due under the Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligation or liability so secured until such time as such indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien.

Section 3.11. Limitations on Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. Hovnanian and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction (other than encumbrances or restrictions imposed by law or by judicial or regulatory action or by provisions of agreements that restrict the assignability thereof) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, owned by Hovnanian or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or pay interest on or principal of any Indebtedness owed to Hovnanian or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

(b) make loans or advances to Hovnanian or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or

except for:

(i) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law,

(ii) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such contractual encumbrances or restrictions, as in effect on the Issue Date,

(iii) any restrictions or encumbrances arising under Acquired Indebtedness; provided that such encumbrance or restriction applies only to either the assets that were subject to the restriction or encumbrance at the time of the acquisition or the obligor on such Indebtedness and its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition,

(iv) any restrictions or encumbrances arising in connection with Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that any restrictions and encumbrances of the type described in this clause (iv) that arise under such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not be materially more restrictive or apply to additional assets than those under the agreement creating or evidencing the Indebtedness being refunded, refinanced, replaced or extended,

(v) any Permitted Lien, or any other agreement restricting the sale or other disposition of property, securing Indebtedness permitted by the Indenture if such Permitted Lien or agreement does not expressly restrict the ability of a Subsidiary of Hovnanian to pay dividends or make or repay loans or advances prior to default thereunder,

(vi) reasonable and customary borrowing base covenants set forth in agreements evidencing Indebtedness otherwise permitted by the Indenture,

(vii) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses, encumbrances, contracts or similar assets entered into or acquired in the ordinary course of business,

(viii) any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition,

(ix) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of the Indenture or the Notes,

(x) purchase money obligations that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (c) of the preceding paragraph,

(xi) Liens permitted under the Indenture securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien,

(xii) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, assets sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements,

(xiii) customary provisions of any franchise, distribution or similar agreements,

Section 3.12. Limitations on Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets. This Section 3.12 shall replace the provisions contained in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Base Indenture in its entirety and the references to Article Nine in Section 9.3 of the Base Indenture shall refer to this Section 3.12. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (including, without limitation, by way of liquidation or dissolution), or assign any of its obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture (as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or in a series of related transactions), to any Person (in each case other than in a transaction in which Hovnanian, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary is the survivor of a consolidation or merger, or the transferee in a sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition) unless:

(a) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than Hovnanian, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition or assignment will be made (collectively, the “Successor”), is a corporation or other legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor assumes by supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee all of the obligations of Hovnanian, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Notes or a Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Indenture,

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and

(c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, Hovnanian (or its Successor) could incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.05(a) hereof.

The foregoing provisions shall not apply to (i) a transaction involving the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of a Guarantor, or the consolidation or merger of a Guarantor, or the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, that in any such case results in such Guarantor being released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, or (ii) a transaction the purpose of which is to change the state of incorporation of Hovnanian, the Issuer or any Guarantor.

Section 3.13. Reports to Holders of Notes. In addition to the provisions set forth in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of the Base Indenture, in the event that Hovnanian is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will nonetheless continue to file reports with the Commission and the Trustee and mail such reports to each Holder of Notes as if it were subject to such reporting requirements. Regardless of whether Hovnanian is required to furnish such reports to its stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Act, Hovnanian will cause its consolidated financial statements and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” written report, similar to those that would have been required to appear in annual or quarterly reports, to be delivered to Holders of Notes.

Section 3.14. Limitation of Applicability of Certain Covenants if Notes Rated Investment Grade.

(a) The Issuer, Hovnanian and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligations to comply with the provisions of the Indenture under this Article 3 (except for Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.10, 3.12 (other than clause (c) of the first paragraph thereof), 3.13 and 3.15 hereof) will terminate (such terminated covenants, the “Extinguished Covenants”) and cease to have any further effect from and after the first date when the Notes issued under the Indenture are rated Investment Grade; provided that if the Notes subsequently cease to be rated Investment Grade, then, from and after the time the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade, the Issuer’s, Hovnanian’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligation to comply with the Extinguished Covenants shall be reinstated.

(b) In the event of any such reinstatement of the obligation to comply with the Extinguished Covenants, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer, Hovnanian or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement shall give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture upon reinstatement; provided that with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made after May 4, 1999 will be calculated as though Section 3.06 hereof had been in effect during the entire period after such date.

Section 3.15. Applicability of Covenants Contained in the Base Indenture. Except for Section 3.6 of the Base Indenture (which is deleted in its entirety and

replaced with Section 3.10 hereof), each of the agreements and covenants of the Issuer and/or Hovnanian, as applicable, contained in Article Three of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

ARTICLE 4

(iv) the acceleration of any Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of Hovnanian, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that has an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, and such acceleration does not cease to exist, or such Indebtedness is not satisfied, in either case within 30 days after such acceleration;

Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Notes will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to Hovnanian or the Issuer specified in subclauses (vii) or (viii) above occurs, such an amount will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee and Hovnanian or any Holder.

ARTICLE 5
GUARANTEES; RELEASE OF GUARANTOR

Section 5.01. Unconditional Guarantees. (a) Hovnanian and each of the other Guarantors hereby (and will so long, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, as it remains a Restricted Subsidiary) Guarantee the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture.

(b) Each Guarantor, by execution hereof, agrees to be bound by the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, with respect to the Notes as if such Guarantor was a party to both the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture.

Each existing Restricted Subsidiary (other than KHL, Inc., the Issuer (for so long as it remains the Issuer) and ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Poland, sp.z.o.o.) will be a Guarantor. Hovnanian is permitted to cause any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Guarantor. If the Issuer, Hovnanian or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the new Restricted Subsidiary must (subject to Section 5.02(b) hereof) provide a Guarantee Notation, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Base Indenture and shall also execute a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.4 of the Base Indenture.

Section 5.02. Release of a Guarantor. (a) If all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor other than Hovnanian or all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor other than Hovnanian is sold (including by consolidation, merger, issuance or otherwise) or disposed of (including by liquidation, dissolution or otherwise) by Hovnanian or any of its Subsidiaries, or, unless Hovnanian elects otherwise, if any Guarantor other than Hovnanian is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or the Person acquiring such assets (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from any of its obligations under the Indenture without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

(b) Upon the release of the guarantee by a Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer after it ceases to be the Issuer pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture) other than Hovnanian under all then outstanding Applicable Debt, at any time after the suspension of the Extinguished Covenants pursuant to Section 3.14 hereof, the Guarantee of such Guarantor under the Indenture will be released and discharged in respect of the Notes at such time and no Restricted Subsidiary thereafter acquired or created will be required to be a Guarantor in respect of the Notes; provided that the foregoing shall not

apply to any release of any Guarantor done in contemplation of, or in connection with, any cessation of the Notes being rated Investment Grade. In the event that (i) any such released Guarantor thereafter guarantees any Applicable Debt (or if any released guarantee under any Applicable Debt is reinstated or renewed) or (ii) the Extinguished Covenants cease to be suspended pursuant to Section 3.14 hereof then any such released Guarantor and any other Restricted Subsidiary of Hovnanian then existing (other than the Restricted Subsidiaries named in Section 5.01(b) hereof) will Guarantee the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. For purposes of this clause (b), Applicable Debt secured by a Lien on such Restricted Subsidiary’s Property or issued by such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary.

(c) An Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under its Guarantee upon notice from Hovnanian to the Trustee to such effect, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Section 5.03. Guarantors as “obligors” for Provisions Included in the Indenture Pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Each provision included in the Indenture which is required to be included by any of Sections 310 to 317 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, inclusive, or is deemed applicable to the Indenture by virtue of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and which applies to an “obligor,” as that term is defined under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, shall apply to each of the Guarantors.

ARTICLE 6

Section 7.04. Section 10.4. Section 10.4(b) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the words “the date of this Indenture” with “June 12, 2006”.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ENTERPRISES, INC.

85¤8% Senior Notes due 2017

1. Interest and Principal.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ENTERPRISES, INC. (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), a California corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2006, until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from June 12, 2006, provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such succeeding interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer promises to pay the principal of this Note on January 15, 2017.

2. Method of Payment.

The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Issuer) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the July 1 and January 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on a Global Note registered in the name of, or held by the Depositary or its nominee will be made in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such a Global Note. If any of the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Note, payment of interest on the definitive Notes may, at the Issuer’s option, be made by check mailed directly to Holders at their registered address.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change or appoint any Paying Agent,

A-3

Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture among the Issuer, Hovnanian, the Guarantors and the Trustee, the terms of which have been established in the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) dated as of June 12, 2006, supplementing an Indenture dated November 3, 2003 (the “Base Indenture”, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 3, 2003, a Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of March 18, 2004, a Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of July 15, 2004, a Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of April 19, 2005, a Fifth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of September 6, 2005, a Sixth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of February 27, 2006, and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture. This Note is one of the Securities of the series designated as the “85¤8% Senior Notes due 2017” of the Issuer. The Issuer may issue additional Notes of this series after this Note has been issued. This Note and any additional notes of this series subsequently issued under the Indenture shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture and shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemption and offers to purchase. The terms of the Notes and the Guarantees include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Notes and the Guarantees are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.

Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to those terms in the Indenture.

The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Enterprises, Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

5. Optional Redemption.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

A-4

(a) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date; plus

(b) the Make-Whole Amount.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility in connection with the calculation of such redemption price.

“Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption of any Note, the excess, if any, of: (a) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such prepayment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Treasury Rate (determined on the business day preceding the date of such redemption) plus 0.5%, from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such payment had not been made; over (b) the principal amount of the Note being redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate and fair.

No Notes of $1,000 in original principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the

A-5

date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

6. Mandatory Redemption.

There is no sinking fund for, or mandatory redemption of, the Notes.

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. 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 and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note.

8. Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. Unclaimed Money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

10. Discharge and Defeasance.

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer, Hovnanian and the Guarantors at any time may terminate some or all of their obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the

A-6

Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

11. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Issuer or Hovnanian occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require an indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

12. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, Hovnanian, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees to, among other things set forth in the Indenture, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

13. Trustee Dealings With Issuer.

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its affiliates, with the same rights as if it were not Trustee; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA), it must eliminate such conflict, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.

14. No Recourse Against Others.

An incorporator, and any past, present or future director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Issuer, Hovnanian or the Guarantors shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer, Hovnanian or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

A-7

15. Guarantees.

The Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

16. Governing Law.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE.

17. CUSIP NUMBERS.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

18. 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.

19. 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 right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
