ARTICLE I

Scope of Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture

The changes, modifications and supplements to the Original Indenture affected by this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes, which shall be unlimited in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time and which may be issued from time to time, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Original Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

For purposes of Section 6.04 hereof, “Investment” shall include the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of any Subsidiary of the Company at the time that such Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that upon a redesignation of such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the Company shall be deemed to continue to have a permanent “Investment” in an Unrestricted Subsidiary of an amount (if positive) equal to:

(1)

the Company’s “Investment” in such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation, less

(2)

the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation.

“Non-Recourse Indebtedness” means Indebtedness or other obligations secured by a Lien on property to the extent that the liability for such Indebtedness or other obligations is limited to the security of the property (or to Persons other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) without liability on the part of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than, in the case of Indebtedness or obligations of a Subsidiary, with respect to the Subsidiary that holds title to such property (if such property constitutes all or substantially all the property of such Subsidiary) and a pledge of the equity interests of such Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries) for any deficiency; provided that recourse obligations or liabilities of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary solely for indemnities, covenants (including, without limitation, performance, completion or similar covenants), or breach of any warranty, representation or covenant in respect of any Indebtedness, including indemnities for and liabilities arising from fraud, misrepresentation, misapplication or non-payment of rents, profits, insurance and condemnation proceeds and other sums actually received by the borrower from secured assets to be paid to the lender, waste and mechanics’ liens, will in each case not prevent Indebtedness from being classified as Non-Recourse Indebtedness.

“Rating Agencies” means (a) each of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and (b) if any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons beyond the control of the Company, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by an authorized officer of the Company) as a replacement agency for S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be.

In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and - for S&P and Fitch; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for any other Rating Agency) will be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P and Fitch a decline in rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).

“Rating Date” means the date which is 60 days prior to the earlier of (1) a Change of Control and (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control.

“Rating Decline” means the decrease (as compared with the Rating Date) by one or more gradations within Rating Categories as well as between Rating Categories of the rating of the Notes by at least two of the three Rating Agencies during the period commencing on the Rating Date and ending 60 days after the applicable Change of Control (which period will be extended for so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

Redemption

SECTION 4.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. At any time prior to December 1, 2025, the Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent of 100% of the present values of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled payments of interest thereon from the redemption date to June 1, 2026 for the Notes to be redeemed, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date (the “Remaining Life”), discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus

50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date. At any time on or after December 1, 2025, the Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

As used in this Section 4.01:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the Remaining Life.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company to act as the quotation agent.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (a) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and its successors; provided, however, that if the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer, and (b) two other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the stated maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, then on and after such redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notes held in global form, Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures and rules of the applicable depositary.

Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part; provided that the outstanding principal amount of the unredeemed portion of any such Note is either $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company may at any time, and from time to time, purchase any or all of the Notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise.

Anything to the contrary in the Original Indenture notwithstanding,

(a) If all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.

(b) Any notice of redemption mailed pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Original Indenture may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

(c) Redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof.

SECTION 4.02. Acceleration. The principal amount of the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 4.03. Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee, stating:

(a) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or will occur and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount outstanding at the Repurchase Date plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Repurchase Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Repurchase Price”);

(b) the circumstances and relevant facts and relevant financial information regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;

(c) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Repurchase Date”);

(d) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(e) that any Note accepted for payment shall cease to accrue interest after the Repurchase Date;

(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse side of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least five days before the Repurchase Date;

(h) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control Triggering Event, state that the right to require the Company to purchase such Holders’ Notes is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Repurchase Date.

On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof properly tendered, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient

to pay the Repurchase Price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Notes so accepted, payment in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount of any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. The Company will publicly announce the results on the Repurchase Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. For purposes of this Section 4.03, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

(iii) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is created after the Measurement Date (other than a Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary existing on the Measurement Date), the amount of Investments made by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Measurement Date; and

(iv) $50,000,000.

(b) The Company will not (A) permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary unless (1) immediately after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) such Subsidiary complies with the provisions of Section 6.07 hereof or (B) permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary under the 2016 Notes Indenture, the 8³⁄₈ 2018 Notes Indenture, the 8³⁄₈% 2021 Notes Indenture, the 6¹⁄₄% 2021 Notes Indenture or the 2024 Notes Indenture to be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary under the 2016 Notes Indenture, the 8³⁄₈ 2018 Notes Indenture, the 8³⁄₈% 2021 Notes Indenture, the 6¹⁄₄% 2021 Notes Indenture or the 2024 Notes Indenture unless it would be permitted to designate and concurrently does so designate such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary.

(c) Promptly after the adoption of any Board Resolution designating a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, a copy thereof shall be filed with the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that the provisions of this Section 6.04 have been complied with in connection with such designation.

(d) At the Original Issue Date, Standard Pacific Mortgage, Inc. and each of its Subsidiaries and Standard Pacific Investment Corp. and each of its Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 6.05. Merger and Sales of Assets by the Company. The Company shall not consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another Person unless:

(a) such Person (if other than the Company) is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes; and

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 6.06. Reports to Holders of the Notes. So long as the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall continue to furnish the information required thereby to the SEC. Even if the Company is entitled under the Exchange Act not to furnish such information to the SEC or to the Holders of the Notes, it will nonetheless continue to furnish information under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act to the SEC and the Trustee as if it were subject to such periodic reporting requirements.

SECTION 6.07. Future Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any manner become liable with respect to any of the Other Public Notes or other notes issued by the Company under an indenture or comparable documents to indentures used in jurisdictions outside of the United States unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for the guarantee of the Notes on the same terms as the guarantee of such Other Public Notes or other notes issued under an indenture or comparable documents used in jurisdictions outside of the United States (except that the guarantee of any notes issued under an indenture or comparable documents used in jurisdictions outside of the United States that are subordinated to the Notes shall be subordinated to the guarantee of the Notes to the same extent as such subordinated notes are subordinated to the Notes).

ARTICLE VII

Events of Default

SECTION 7.01. Additional Events of Default. In addition to the Events of Default specified in the Original Indenture, the following shall constitute Events of Default under Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture with respect to the Notes:

(i) default under any mortgage, indenture (including the Original Indenture and the supplemental indentures thereto in respect of the terms of the Other Public Notes, or any other indenture in respect of the Other Public Notes, as applicable) or instrument under which is issued or which secures or evidences Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Notes and Non-Recourse Indebtedness) which default constitutes a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness in an amount of $50,000,000 or more when due and payable (other than as a result of acceleration) or results in Indebtedness (other than the Notes and Non-Recourse Indebtedness) in the aggregate of $50,000,000 or more becoming or being declared due and payable before it would otherwise become due and payable;

(ii) entry of a final judgment for the payment of money against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an amount of $10,000,000 or more which remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal such judgment has expired or becomes subject to an enforcement proceeding; and

(iii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee.

SECTION 7.02. Inapplicability of Cure Provisions to Certain Events of Default. With respect to Section 6.01(3) of the Original Indenture, the failure of the Company to comply with the covenant described under Section 6.05 hereof will constitute an Event of Default with notice as provided in Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture, but without passage of time.

ARTICLE VIII

Defeasance and Discharge

SECTION 8.01. Defeasance and Discharge. The provisions of Article Eight of the Original Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes, except that Section 8.01(e) of the Original Indenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced, solely for purposes of the Notes, by the following:

(i)

either (A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 of the Original Indenture and Notes for which payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (B) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, will become due and payable at Stated Maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption by the Company within one year pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited in trust with the Trustee, under an irrevocable trust agreement, money or United States government obligations in an amount sufficient to pay principal of and any interest on the Notes to their Stated Maturity or redemption;

(ii)

the Company has paid all sums payable hereunder in respect of the Notes;

(iii)

the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated Maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be; and

(iv)

the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (as to legal matters), stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.”

ARTICLE IX

Modifications and Waivers

(a) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision under the heading “Description of notes” in the Prospectus Supplement;

(b) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes as permitted by Section 3.02(h) hereof;

(c) to release a Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee, the Notes or the Indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and to evidence the succession of another Person to such Guarantor and the assumption by it of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantee;

(d) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes; or

(e) to pledge collateral to secure the Notes and Guarantees and to release the Notes and Guarantees as provided in the Indenture.

(b) In addition to the provisions of Section 9.02 of the Original Indenture (including (i) Section 9.02(3), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be construed to require consent of each Holder of the Notes but rather only the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes in connection with any waiver or modification of the obligation of the Company to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) Section 9.02(6) as amended pursuant to Section 9.02(a) above), without the consent of each Holder of a Note affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

ARTICLE X

Guarantee

SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, and irrevocably guarantees (each such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”) on a senior basis to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace

period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04 hereof. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that, subject to Section 10.03 hereof, this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations of the Company contained in the respective Notes and the Indenture with respect to the respective Notes. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

SECTION 10.02. Severability. In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 10.03. Release of a Guarantor; Termination of Guarantee.

Upon:

(a) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, stock purchase, asset sale or otherwise) of a Guarantor (or all or substantially all its assets or its Capital Stock) to an entity which is not (after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company;

(b) discharge of the Indenture, as provided under Article Eight of the Original Indenture (as amended pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof);

(c) Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in respect of the Notes as set forth under Article Eight of the Original Indenture;

(d) any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the Company, directly or indirectly, owning less than 80% of such Subsidiary;

(e) any Guarantor ceasing to guarantee all Other Public Notes and any other notes issued by the Company under an indenture or comparable documents to indentures used in jurisdictions outside of the United States; or

(f) the designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture,

in each such case such Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee with respect to the Indenture and the Notes without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder. In the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or Capital Stock of a Guarantor to an entity which is not (after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company, the Person acquiring such assets or stock of such Guarantor shall not be subject to the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee.

An Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under the Guarantee with respect to the Indenture and the Notes upon notice from the Company to the Trustee to such effect, without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder.

The Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the redemption in full, retirement or other discharge of Notes. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 10.03.

Any Guarantor not released in accordance with this Section 10.03 remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article X.

SECTION 10.04. Limitation of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the guarantee by each Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the parties hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 10.06), result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 10.05. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. (a) Except as permitted under Section 10.03, no Guarantor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor in a transaction to which subsection (b) applies, unless (i) the Person acquiring the property in any such transfer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture (including its Guarantee of the Notes) pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or a liquidation of a Guarantor that has no assets or distributes such Guarantor’s assets to the Company or another Guarantor or shall prevent any transfer of all or substantially all assets of a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor. Upon any such consolidation, liquidation, merger or transfer between a Guarantor and the Company or another Guarantor, the Guarantee given by the non-surviving or transferring Guarantor in the transaction shall no longer have any force or effect.

SECTION 10.06. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee with respect to the Notes, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to any Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of the Notes. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Guarantor in respect of the obligations of its Guarantee of the Notes), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of the Notes, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Company in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of the Notes of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 10.07. Waiver of Subrogation. Until all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture and with respect to all Notes are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee of the Notes and the Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.07 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.08. Compensation and Indemnity. Each of the Guarantors agrees to jointly and severally, with the Company, indemnify the Trustee as set forth in Section 7.07 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 10.09. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article X, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Article X shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.

SECTION 10.11. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article X shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article X at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

SECTION 11.01. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the Notes.

SECTION 11.02. The Trustee. The Trustee is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in certain transactions with the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, within the meaning of the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict or resign upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is not cured, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in similar circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power under the Indenture, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or of any prospectus used to sell the Notes; it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes; and it shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the recitals and statements contained herein or in the Notes, all of which are made solely by the Company and the Guarantors.

SECTION 11.03. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or a Subsidiary. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 11.04. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

SECTION 11.05. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Company in this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.

SECTION 11.06. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

SECTION 11.07. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

5¹⁄₄% Senior Notes due 2026

1. Interest. CALATLANTIC GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Standard Pacific Corp.

The Company will pay interest semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2016 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) 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 May 31, 2016. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Company 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 Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company 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. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or any successor. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof except as provided in Section 3.02(g)(i) of the Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture (as defined below).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice.

A-6

$50,000,000 or more when due and payable (other than as a result of acceleration) or results in Indebtedness (other than the Notes and Non-Recourse Indebtedness) in the aggregate of $50,000,000 or more becoming or being declared due and payable before it would otherwise become due and payable; (vi) entry of a final judgment for the payment of money against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an amount of $10,000,000 or more which remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal such judgment has expired or becomes subject to an enforcement proceeding; and (vii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee.

In case an Event of Default (other than arising out of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare to be due and payable immediately that portion of the principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of acceleration, and upon such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. In case an Event of Default arising out of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs and is continuing, the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders.

Such declaration or acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived (except non-payment of principal that has become due solely because of the acceleration) and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree.

An existing Default (other than a Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or Default with respect to a provision which cannot be modified under the terms of the Indenture without the consent of each Holder affected) may be waived by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding upon the conditions provided in the Indenture.
