THE RIGHTS REPRESENTED BY THIS SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATE ARE EXERCISABLE ON OR BEFORE 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2008, UNLESS EXTENDED BY THE COMPANY.

Pursuant to the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) of Standard Pacific Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each subscription right represented by this Subscription Rights Certificate (each, a “Right”) entitles the holder hereof to subscribe for and purchase 0.68523554 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at a subscription price of $3.05 per full share. All exercises of the Rights are irrevocable. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued in the Rights Offering. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Rights Offering will be issued by Mellon Investor Services LLC, on behalf of Mellon Bank N.A., the subscription agent for the Rights Offering (the “Subscription Agent”), as soon as practicable following the expiration date of the Rights Offering.

For a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the Rights and the Rights Offering, please refer to the prospectus supplement dated August 4, 2008 and accompanying prospectus (collectively, the “Prospectus”), which is incorporated herein by reference and controls in the event that there is a conflict between this Subscription Rights Certificate and the Prospectus. Copies of the Prospectus are available upon request from The Altman Group, the information agent for the Rights Offering, toll-free at (866)  ###-###-####. Banks and brokerage firms can call the information agent collect at (201)  ###-###-####.

 

 

The Rights represented by this Subscription Rights Certificate are transferable and may be combined or divided (but only into whole Rights) at the office of the Subscription Agent. The Subscription Agent will only facilitate transfers of the Rights until 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on August 19, 2008, three business days prior to the scheduled August 22, 2008 expiration date. The holder of this Subscription Rights Certificate should be aware that if such holder chooses to exercise, assign, transfer or sell only part of the Rights, they may not receive a new Subscription Rights Certificate in sufficient time to exercise, assign, transfer or sell the remaining Rights evidenced hereby.

SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES: To subscribe for shares of Common Stock pursuant to your Rights, please complete boxes “A”, “B” and “C” and Section 1. If you want a new Subscription Rights Certificate evidencing any unexercised Rights delivered to you or to someone else, check box “E” below, and indicate the address to which the shares of Common Stock should be delivered in Section 1. Full payment for shares of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Rights should be made payable to Mellon Investor Services LLC (on behalf of Mellon Bank N.A.) and accompanied by either a notice of guaranteed delivery or this Subscription Rights Certificate. Please reference the Number of this Subscription Rights Certificate (set forth above) on your check, bank draft, money order or notice of guaranteed delivery.

 

If you do not indicate the number of Rights being exercised, or do not forward full payment of the total subscription price payment for the number of subscription rights that you indicate are being exercised, then you will be deemed to have exercised the lesser of (1) the maximum number of Rights that may be exercised with the aggregate subscription price payment you delivered to the Subscription Agent, and (2) the maximum number of Rights represented by this Subscription Rights Certificate. If your full subscription price payment is not applied to your purchase of shares of Common Stock, the Subscription Agent will return the excess amount to you by mail, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the expiration date of the Rights Offering.

 

TRANSFER OF RIGHTS: If you want some or all of your unexercised Rights transferred to a designated transferee, or to a bank or broker to sell for you, check box “F” below and complete Section 2. If you do not indicate the number of Rights to be transferred, then you will be deemed to have requested the transfer all of such Rights.
