AMENDMENT NO. 5
AMENDMENT NO. 5, dated as of August 26, 2015 (this “Agreement”), to the Credit Agreement dated as of September 7, 2012, as amended prior to the date hereof (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among D.R. HORTON, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), MIZUHO BANK, LTD., as successor administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and the Lenders party thereto.

WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement has previously been amended on November 1, 2012, August 8, 2013, August 22, 2014 and June 18, 2015;
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto desire to extend the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date in respect of certain of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Credit Agreement to September 7, 2020 in accordance with the Extension Request dated as of June 25, 2015 and pursuant to Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Extension”);
WHEREAS, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas desires to exit as a Lender under the Credit Agreement, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch desires to become a Lender with the same amount of Revolving Credit Commitments and Loans as Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; and
WHEREAS, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. is acting as the sole lead arranger (in such capacity, the “Sole Lead Arranger”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are acting as co-arrangers (each, a “Co-Arranger” and together the “Co-Arrangers”), and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association are acting as managing agents (each a “Managing Agent” and together the “Managing Agents”) in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitment Extension;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
Section 1.Amendments. Subject to the occurrence of the Amendment Effective Date, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as set forth in this Section 1.
(a)The definition of “Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing “September 7, 2019” with “September 7, 2020”.
(b)Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the eighth, ninth and tenth sentences thereof with the following:
“Each Lender approving an Extension Request shall deliver its written approval no later than 30 days following such Extension Request or such later date agreed to by the Borrower (such 30th or later date, the “Extension Response Deadline”). If written approval of the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Series of Revolving Credit Facility is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Extension Response Deadline, the Extension Request with respect to such Series shall be denied. If such written approval of the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments under a Series of Revolving Credit Facility is received by the Administrative Agent by the Extension Response Deadline, the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date applicable to such Series of Revolving Credit Facility, or the requested portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder, shall be extended to the date specified in the Extension Request but only with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility that have given such written approval (the “Extending Revolving Credit Lenders”).”



Section 2.Representations and Warranties. The Loan Parties represent and warrant as of the date hereof and the Amendment Effective Date (before and after giving effect to this Agreement) that:
(a)the representations and warranties contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof, the date of the Extension Request and the Amendment Effective Date (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects); and
(b)no Default or Unmatured Default (i) has occurred and is continuing on the date hereof, the date of the Extension Request or the Amendment Effective Date or (ii) exists or would exist after giving effect to the Facility Increase.
Section 3.Conditions to Effectiveness. This Agreement, the Additional Commitments and the Revolving Credit Commitment Extension shall become effective and all conditions set forth in Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed satisfied, on the date (such date, the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions is satisfied or waived:
