Summary of Compensation — Named Executive Officers

Chairman and Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee of the Board sets the base salaries and performance bonus criteria of the Executive Officers in Table I on an annual basis. For fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee did not take any action that would increase the salary or bonus payable to Mr. Horton or to Mr. Tomnitz beyond what was approved at the beginning of the prior fiscal year.

Table I

                           
 
  Name     Office     Annual Base Salary     Performance Bonus  
              (Fiscal 2005)     Under the Amended  
                    and Restated 2000  
                    Incentive Bonus  
                    Plan  
 
Donald R. Horton
    Chairman of the Board     $ 400,000       See Note 1  
 
Donald J. Tomnitz
    Vice Chairman, President and CEO     $ 300,000       See Note 1  
 

Note 1: Under the Amended and Restated 2000 Incentive Bonus Plan, Mr. Horton and Mr. Tomnitz will each receive a bonus payment based upon achieving certain performance goals with respect to quarterly consolidated pre-tax income of the Company. These goals are set by the Compensation Committee and ratified and approved by the Board of Directors at the beginning of each fiscal year.

In addition, Mr. Horton and Mr. Tomnitz may participate in two separate deferred compensation plans. The first plan allows the executive to make voluntary income deferrals. The second plan is a promise by the Company to pay retirement benefits to the executive. If the executive is employed by the Company on the last day of the current fiscal year (for example September 30, 2005), then the Company will establish a liability to him equal to 10% of his annual base pay as of first day of the current fiscal year (for example October 1, 2004). This liability will accrue earnings in future years at a rate established by the administrative committee.
