These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Award of performance restricted stock units granted to an award recipient under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as approved by the Compensation Committee on _____________, which are evidenced by a Grant Notice or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions.
1.TERMS OF PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
D.R. Horton, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Grantee named in the Grant Notice provided to said Grantee herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of a number of performance restricted stock units (the “Award” or the “Performance RSUs”) specified in the Grant Notice. Each Performance RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Shares, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time.
2.VESTING OF PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice and shall be forfeitable unless and until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of these Standard Terms and Conditions. After the Grant Date, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Award shall become vested as described in this Section 2 with respect to that number of Performance RSUs as described in this Section 2.
A.The number of Performance RSUs that may be paid to you shall be based upon the Company’s achievement of the following four performance goals (“Performance Goals”) over the Performance Period: (i) Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) (as defined in Section 17), (ii) Relative Return on Investment (“ROI”) (as defined in Section 17), (iii) Relative SG&A Containment (“SG&A Containment” or “SG&A”) (as defined in Section 17), and (iv) Relative Gross Profit (“GP”) (as defined in Section 17). Each of TSR, ROI, SG&A and GP shall be given twenty-five percent (25%) weight when ranking relative performance and when calculating the final vesting of the Award. See Exhibit C for examples of this calculation. Ranking of the relative performance of the Company and its peers shall be in accordance with the following ranking tables:

Total Shareholder Return (weighted 25% of Target Award)
The Grantee shall vest in the TSR portion of the Award based on the Company’s performance of Total Shareholder Return as compared to the Total Shareholder Return of the S&P 500 Index over the three year Performance Period. Total Shareholder Return is to be determined by Standard and Poor’s after the Performance Period using the same or materially similar criteria used by them in preparing the stock performance graph included each year in the Company’s public filings (Form 10-K for proxy statement, as applicable). The Grantee shall receive the number of Performance RSUs in relation to the Company’s TSR performance as compared to the S&P 500 Index’s TSR performance as set forth in the table below (See Exhibit A for examples of hypothetical TSR rankings):

Under the TSR component of the Performance Goals and after giving effect to the 25% weighting to the total Target Award, the number of Performance RSUs that can be earned is as follows: Maximum = ______, Target = _______ and Threshold = ________.

C.Issuance of shares earned under this Award shall be made to you as soon as practicable but no later than 45 days following certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) as set forth below, unless you timely elect a deferred payment/receipt in the manner and within the time frames specified by the Committee and in compliance with Code Section 409A (the “Payout Date”).

D.The Award shall vest as follows:
The number of Performance RSUs that vest will be determined after the completion of the performance period, which shall begin on October 1, 2021 and end on September 30, 2024 (the “Performance Period”), and will be based on the final peer rankings on each of the four Performance Goals as set forth in this Section 2. Vesting of the Performance RSUs will occur so long as you are an employee or other service provider of the Company and will be based on the final performance rankings of TSR, ROI, SG&A and GP as set forth in this Section 2.

(iii)if the Grantee’s separation from service is for any reason other than those listed in (i) and (ii) above, any unvested portion of the Award held by the Grantee shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such separation of service.
