5.02(e)

     In early 2007 Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), initiated a review of its equity and incentive compensation plans, its deferred compensation plans and its supplemental retirement plan to ensure that awards granted and payments made under those plans are either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) in accordance with the statute and the treasury regulations and other guidance issued thereunder and to reexamine and modify the procedures set forth in such plans relative to the time and form of payment to reflect the current policies established by the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Company. Executive officers of the Company are participants in, or have received awards under, one or more of those plans.

     On February 13, 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the amendment and restatement of the following plans:

• Centex Corporation 2003 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan;

• Centex Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan;

• Amended and Restated Centex Corporation 2001 Stock Plan;

• Amended and Restated 1998 Centex Corporation Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan;

• Centex Corporation Amended and Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan;

• Centex Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan;

• Centex Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan; and

• Centex Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved, and the Board of Directors ratified, the amendment and restatement of the Centex Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Each restated plan listed above

1

amends, restates and supersedes its respective prior plan in its entirety. Each amended and restated plan was modified to address the provisions of Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, including modifications to the definitions of key terms, as applicable, such as “affiliate,” “disability,” “separation from service,” “fair market value,” and “change in control,” to ensure exemption from or compliance with Section 409A. In some plans, provisions were added to distinguish between benefits subject to Section 409A and awards or accounts that were earned and vested before December 31, 2004 that are “grandfathered awards” or “grandfathered accounts” not subject to Section 409A. Plans with awards or accounts subject to Section 409A were amended to (1) add provisions relating to the time and form of payment of awards or distributions of accounts, including (a) a default rule for the payout of awards or distribution of accounts to be an administratively practicable date immediately following the lapse of any substantial risk or forfeiture applicable to the award or account, and (b) provisions permitting elections for deferred payouts, (2) impose a six-month delay upon payments or distributions made by reason of separation from service (including retirement) of awards or accounts subject to Section 409A to persons who are “specified employees” under Section 409A unless permitted exceptions apply, and (3) prohibit certain modifications of awards and accounts that are subject to Section 409A. No material changes were made to the plans, and stockholder approval was not required for any of the amendments. The above description of the provisions of the amended and restated plans is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plans, which have been filed as exhibits to this report.

Exhibit 10.1

CENTEX CORPORATION

2003 ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

     1. Objective. The Centex Corporation 2003 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to retain selected executive officers of Centex Corporation, and reward them for making significant contributions to the success of Centex Corporation. These objectives are to be accomplished by making annual awards under the Plan and thereby providing Participants with a financial interest in the overall performance and growth of Centex Corporation. The Plan and Awards granted hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent.

     2. Definitions. As used herein, the terms set forth below shall have the following respective meanings:

     “Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     “Affiliate” means any direct or indirect subsidiary or parent of Centex Corporation and any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other business venture or entity in which Centex Corporation owns directly or indirectly at least 80% of the ownership interest in such entity, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion (such determination by the Committee to be conclusively established by the grant of an Award by the Committee to an officer or employee of such an entity).

     “Award” means an incentive compensation award payable in cash and granted to a Participant pursuant to any applicable terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish in order to fulfill the objectives of the Plan.

     “Award Agreement” means a written agreement between Centex Corporation and a Participant that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to an Award.

     “Beneficiary” means such person or persons, or the trustee of an inter vivos trust for the benefit of natural persons, designated by the Participant in a written election form filed with the Committee as entitled to receive the Participant’s Award(s) in the event of the Participant’s death, or if no such election form shall have been so filed, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant or can be located by the Committee, the person or persons entitled thereto under the last will of such deceased Participant, or if such decedent left no will, to the legal heirs of such decedent determined in accordance with the laws of intestate succession of the state of the decedent’s domicile.

     “Board” means the Board of Directors of Centex Corporation as the same may be constituted from time to time.

     “Centex Corporation” means Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation, or any successor thereto.

     “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board.

     “Employment” means employment with Centex Corporation or an Affiliate.

1

     “Fiscal Year” means April 1 through March 31.

     “Participant” means an executive officer of Centex Corporation who signs an Award Agreement.

     “Plan” means this Centex Corporation 2003 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, as set forth herein and as may be amended from time to time.

     A pronoun or adjective in the masculine gender includes the feminine gender, and the singular includes the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

     3. Eligibility. Only executive officers of Centex Corporation are eligible to participate in this Plan. The Committee shall select the Participants in the Plan from time to time as evidenced by the execution of Award Agreements under the Plan.

     4. Plan Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. All decisions of the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on the Participants. The Committee shall determine all terms and conditions of the Awards.

     No member of the Committee shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or by any member of the Committee in connection with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute.

     5. Awards and Limitations Thereon. An Award will be paid only if specified performance goals set forth in an Award Agreement have been achieved during the course of the relevant Fiscal Year (or such shorter period as may be determined by the Committee) by an individual, Centex Corporation, an Affiliate, or one or more business units of Centex Corporation or an Affiliate, as applicable. The amount of the Award will be determined by reference to the formula contained in the relevant Award Agreement, which will describe the performance goal or goals and the percentage of the potential Award to be paid depending upon what level of the performance goal(s) is achieved. By way of example, and not limitation, if the performance goal is return on beginning stockholders equity of Centex Corporation, the formula will set forth different levels of return and the Award to be paid depending upon the level of return achieved. Performance goals will be established no later than the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goal relates and (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the goal is established), and in any event while the outcome is still substantially uncertain. Performance goals may include: (a) earnings, either in the aggregate or on a per-share basis, reflecting such dilution of shares as the Committee deems appropriate, including operating earnings, pre-tax earnings, earnings before interest and taxes, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (b) gross or net revenue; (c) operating or net cash flow; (d) financial return ratios (e.g., return or net return on one or more of the following: assets, net assets, equity, invested capital, revenue); (e) margins, including net, operating or pre-tax margins; (f) total shareholder return; (g) financial ratios (e.g., debt to capitalization or debt to equity); (h) growth in financial measures or ratios (e.g., revenue, earnings, cash flow, stockholders’ equity, margins); or (i) customer satisfaction, based on specified objective goals, or a customer survey sponsored by Centex Corporation, an Affiliate, or one or more business units of Centex Corporation or an Affiliate, as applicable. Unless otherwise stated, such a performance goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to performance goals, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.162-27(e)(2)(i), and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions.

2

     The maximum Award that may be paid to any Participant under this Plan for a Fiscal Year is an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the reported consolidated net income of Centex Corporation and subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year.

     Payment of an Award will be made to the Participant within 2¹/2 months following the conclusion of a Fiscal Year upon the conditions that (a) the performance goal or goals specified in the relevant Award Agreement have been achieved and (b) the Committee has reviewed and approved the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may be made after the 2¹/2 month period if it is administratively impracticable to make payment by the end of the 2¹/2 month period and the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) are otherwise satisfied.

     If during the course of a Fiscal Year the Participant takes a position with Centex Corporation or an Affiliate which is materially different from the position which he or she occupied at the commencement of such Fiscal Year, and the Committee determines that such new position does not involve comparable or greater executive responsibilities than were enjoyed by such Participant at the beginning of such Fiscal Year, then the relevant Award Agreement will automatically be terminated. The Committee will decide, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether the Participant will receive a prorated Award for such Fiscal Year or will forfeit any interest in any Award for such Fiscal Year. Such a prorated Award will only be paid if the Committee determines that the relevant performance goals have been achieved.

     In the event that the Participant is not an employee on the last day of the Plan year, the Award will be treated as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise specified by the Committee.

     6. Tax Withholding. Centex Corporation shall deduct applicable taxes with respect to the payment of any Award and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of Centex Corporation to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes.

     7. Non-Assignability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Award or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except to a Beneficiary or by will, the laws of descent and distribution or a domestic relations order. The Committee may prescribe other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Section 7 shall be null and void.

     8. Change in Control and Certain Corporate Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a change in control (as specified below), shall cause the maximum Award to each Participant for the then current fiscal year to be paid to the Participant, immediately prior to such change in control, without regard to the determination as to the periods or achievement of the objective performance goals. For purposes of this Section 8, a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if there occurs a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Act whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement: provided that without limitation such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if:

     (i) a third person, including a “Group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the twenty-five cents ($0.25) par value common stock of Centex Corporation having 50% or more of total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Directors of Centex Corporation; or

     (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for Directors, persons who were Directors of Centex Corporation immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board.

     9. Plan Year. The plan year will be coterminous with the Fiscal Year, while this Plan is in effect. This Plan will govern annual cash incentive compensation payments following March 31, 2003.

3

     10. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (i) no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant and (ii) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the shareholders of Centex Corporation, to the extent such approval is required by applicable legal requirements.

     11. No Employment Guaranteed. No provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement hereunder shall confer any right upon any executive officer to continued Employment.

     12. Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Act or other securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to any conflicts of law principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

1. Plan

     The Centex Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Corporation to reward certain key Employees of the Corporation and its Affiliates and Non-employee Directors of the Corporation by providing for certain cash benefits and by enabling them to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.

2. Objectives

     (a) Purpose.

In determining whether a Participant has incurred a Separation from Service, the following provisions shall apply:

     (a) For a Participant who provides services to an Employer as an employee, except as otherwise provided in this definition, a Separation from Service will occur when such Participant has experienced a termination of employment with the Employer. A Participant will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the Participant and his or her Employer reasonably anticipate that either (A) no further services will be performed for the Employer after a certain date, or (B) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Employer after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 33¹/₃ percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Participant (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period

4

(or the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months).

     If a Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Employer will be treated as continuing, provided that the period of the leave of absence does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the Participant has a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract. If the period of a military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 months and the Participant does not have a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be considered to be terminated for purposes of this Plan as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6-month period. In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a leave of absence will be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Employer.

     (b) For a Participant who provides services to an Employer as an independent contractor, except as otherwise provided in this definition, a Separation from Service will occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed for the Employer, provided that the expiration of such contract or contracts is determined by the Committee to constitute a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the Participant and the Employer.

     (c) For a Participant who provides services to an Employer as both an employee and an independent contractor, a Separation from Service generally will not occur until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer as both as an employee and as an independent contractor, as determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this definition, respectively. If a Participant either (i) ceases providing services for an Employer as an independent contractor and begins providing services for such Employer as an employee, or (ii) ceases providing services for an Employer as an employee and begins providing services for such Employer as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer in both capacities, as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this definition.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph (c), if a Participant provides services for an Employer as both an employee and as a member of the board of directors of an Employer, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(5), the services provided by the Participant as a director will not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee, and the services provided by the Participant as an employee will not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as a director.

     (d) In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this definition, where as part of a sale or other disposition of substantial assets by an Employer to an unrelated buyer, a Participant would otherwise experience a Separation from Service as defined above, the Employer and the buyer shall retain the discretion to specify, and may specify, that a Participant performing services for an Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction shall not experience a Separation from Service for purposes of this Plan and the Participant shall be bound by same, provided that such transaction and the specification meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

     (e) For purposes of this definition, “Employer” means:

     (i) The entity for whom the Participant performs services and with respect to which the legally binding right to an Award or payment under an Award arises; and

     (ii) All other entities with which the entity described in subparagraph (e)(i) of this definition would be aggregated and treated as a single employer under Code Section 414(b) (controlled group of corporations) and Code Section 414(c) (group of trades or businesses under common control), as applicable. To identify the group of entities described in the preceding sentence, an ownership threshold of 50% shall be used as a substitute for the 80% minimum ownership threshold that appears in, and otherwise must be used when applying, the applicable provisions of (A) Code Section 1563 and the regulations thereunder for determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (B) Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for determining the trades or businesses that are under common control under Code Section 414(c).

     “Specified Employee” means any Participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined by the Corporation in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(i).

     “Stock Award” means an Award in the form of shares of Common Stock or Stock Units, including an award of Restricted Stock.

     “Stock Unit” means a unit equal to one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Committee) granted to either an Employee or a Non-employee Director.

     “Subsidiary” means any corporation of which the Corporation directly or indirectly owns shares representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the shares of all classes or series of capital stock of such corporation which have the right to vote generally on matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of such corporation.

     “Vested Retirement” means the voluntary termination of all employment by a Participant (excluding a Non-employee Director) who is a Full Time Employee from the Employer at any time after the Participant is age 55 or older, has at least 10 Years of Service and the sum of age and Years of Service equals at least 70. Calculation of eligibility for Vested Retirement shall be based on whole years of age and Years of Service on the date as of which the calculation is being made. Any partial years shall be disregarded.

     “Years of Service” means the Participant’s years of employment with an Employer. A Participant shall be credited with a Year of Service on each anniversary of the date on which he or she was first employed with an Employer, provided that the Participant continues to be employed by an Employer on such anniversary date.

4. Eligibility

     (a) Employees. Employees eligible for the grant of Employee Awards under this Plan are those Employee Directors and Employees who hold positions of responsibility and whose performance, in the judgment of the Committee, can have a significant effect on the success of the Corporation and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employees of Affiliates that are not considered a single employer with the Corporation under Code Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) shall not be eligible to receive Employee Awards that are subject to Code Section 409A until the Affiliate adopts this Plan as a participating employer in accordance with paragraph 23.

6

     (b) Directors. Members of the Board eligible for the grant of Director Awards under this Plan are those who are Non-employee Directors.

5. Common Stock Available for Awards

     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 15 hereof, no Award shall be granted if it shall result in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan plus the number of shares of Common Stock covered by or subject to Awards then outstanding (after giving effect to the grant of the Award in question) to exceed 6,665,970 shares. No more than 2,221,990 shares of Common Stock shall be available for Stock Awards, other than Options or Performance Awards. The number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of Awards under this Plan that are forfeited or terminated, expire unexercised, are settled in cash in lieu of Common Stock or in a manner such that all or some of the shares covered by an Award are not issued to a Participant or are exchanged for Awards that do not involve Common Stock, shall again immediately become available for Awards hereunder. If the Grant Price or other purchase price of any Option or other Award granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of Common Stock to the Corporation by either actual delivery or by attestation, or by withholding shares of Common Stock, or if the tax withholding obligation resulting from the settlement of any such Option or other Award is satisfied by tendering or withholding shares of Common Stock, only the number of shares of Common Stock issued net of the shares of Common Stock tendered or withheld shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards under the plans or arrangements of another entity shall not reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Plan, to the extent that such settlement, assumption or substitution is a result of the Corporation or an Affiliate acquiring another entity or an interest in another entity. The Committee may from time to time adopt and observe such procedures concerning the counting of shares against the Plan maximum as it may deem appropriate. The Board and the appropriate officers of the Corporation shall from time to time take whatever actions are necessary to file any required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges and transaction reporting systems to ensure that shares of Common Stock are available for issuance pursuant to Awards.

6. Administration

     (a) This Plan shall be administered by the Committee except as otherwise provided herein.

     (b) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Committee shall have full and exclusive power and authority to administer this Plan and to take all actions that are specifically contemplated hereby or are necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration hereof. The Committee shall also have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or proper, all of which powers shall be exercised in the best interests of the Corporation and in keeping with the objectives of this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, after considering tax and other potential legal implications, provide for the extension of the exercisability of an Option but only to the extent such extension does not result in a modification of the Option for purposes of Code Section 409A, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions applicable to an Award, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan (insofar as such provision relates to Awards) or an Award or otherwise amend or modify an Award in any manner that is either (i) not adverse to the Participant to whom such Award was granted or (ii) consented to by such Participant; provided, however, that payment in respect of an Award may be deferred only as provided in paragraph 10 of this Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to further the Plan purposes. Any decision of the Committee,

7

with respect to Awards, in the interpretation and administration of this Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.

     (c) No member of the Committee or officer of the Corporation to whom the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7 of this Plan shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or her, by any member of the Committee or by any officer of the Corporation in connection with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his or her own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute.

7. Delegation of Authority

     Following the authorization of a pool of cash or shares of Common Stock to be available for Awards, the Committee may authorize the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or a committee consisting solely of members of the Board to grant individual Employee Awards from such pool pursuant to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish. The Committee may also delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and to other executive officers of the Corporation its administrative duties under this Plan (excluding its granting authority) pursuant to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish. The Committee may engage or authorize the engagement of a third party administrator to carry out administrative functions under the Plan.

8. Awards

     (a) The Committee shall determine the type or types of Awards to be made under this Plan and shall designate from time to time the Participants who are to be the recipients of such Awards. Each Award may, in the discretion of the Committee, be embodied in an Award Agreement, which shall contain such terms, conditions and limitations as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and, if required by the Committee, shall be signed by the Participant to whom the Award is granted and by an Authorized Officer for and on behalf of the Corporation. Awards may consist of those listed in this paragraph 8(a) and may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards may also be granted in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under this Plan or any other plan of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, including the plan of any acquired entity. An Award may provide for the grant or issuance of additional, replacement or alternative Awards upon the occurrence of specified events. All or part of an Award may be subject to conditions established by the Committee, which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Corporation and its Affiliates, achievement of specific business objectives, increases in specified indices, attainment of specified growth rates and other comparable measurements of performance.

     (i) Option. An Employee Award or Director Award may be in the form of an Option. The Grant Price of an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Plan including paragraphs 8(a)(i)(A) and (B), in no event shall the term of the Option extend more than ten (10) years after the Grant Date. Options may not include provisions that “reload” the option upon exercise, or, unless the Option is structured to comply with Code Section 409A, otherwise provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of the exercise or disposition of the Option or the time the Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option first becomes substantially vested. Subject to the foregoing provisions and the provisions of paragraph 11, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Options awarded to Participants pursuant to this Plan, including the Grant Price, the term of the Options, the number of shares subject to the Option and the date or dates upon which they become exercisable, shall be determined by the Committee.

8

     (A) Except as is otherwise provided in the Award Agreement and subject to Committee discretion as provided in paragraph 6(b):

     (1) all rights to exercise an Option shall terminate within four (4) months after the date the Participant ceases to be an Employee, or ceases to be a Director, whichever may occur later, for any reason other than death or Disability (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option).

     (2) In the event of a Participant’s death, an Option will terminate fifteen (15) months thereafter (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option).

     (3) In the event of a Participant’s Disability and resulting termination of employment, an Option will terminate six (6) months after such Participant’s employment termination date (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option).

     (4) In the event the employment of the Participant is terminated for cause (as determined by the Committee), all Options whether or not vested shall terminate immediately.

     (5) All unvested Options are cancelled upon termination of employment; except that all non-qualified options granted prior to April 1, 2006 shall immediately vest upon Vested Retirement.

     (B) However, if an Option is held by a Director who, on the date he or she ceases to be a Director (and, if also an Employee, ceases to be an Employee), has at least ten (10) years of service as a Director, then all Common Stock subject to such Option will vest on the date the Director ceases to be a Director, and all rights to exercise such Option will terminate three (3) years thereafter (but in no event later than the original period of the Option). Also, if an Option is held by a Director who, on the date he or she ceases to be a Director (and, if also an Employee, ceases to be an Employee), has less than ten (10) years of service as a Director, then all Common Stock subject to such Option will continue to vest in accordance with its terms for a period of three (3) years following such date, and all rights to exercise such Option will terminate three (3) years after such date (but in no event later than the original period of the Option). If Options are awarded in the final two (2) years of the term of a Director who is approaching age 70, or an Employee Director who is at least age 55 with at least ten (10) years of service and his or her age plus years of service equal at least 70, the outside exercise date is the one provided in the Option or seven (7) years from the grant date, whichever occurs earlier. This paragraph 8(a)(i)(B) shall not apply to a Participant who is terminated for cause (as determined by the Committee).

     (C) However, if an Option granted prior to April 1, 2006 is held by a Participant who retires and satisfies the test for Vested Retirement, then all rights to exercise any and all Options will terminate 12 months following the date of the Vested Retirement (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option). To the extent that such Award provides a longer term to exercise, such Award will control.

     (D) Attached hereto as Exhibit A are resolutions adopted by the Committee, pertaining to vesting and exercise, which shall apply only to Options granted prior to April 1, 2006. The provisions of paragraph 8(a)(i)(A)(5) and 8(a)(i)(C) above are

9

intended to incorporate such resolutions. To the extent of any conflict between the terms of such resolutions and this Plan, the resolutions will control.

     (ii) Stock Award. An Employee Award or Director Award may be in the form of a Stock Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Stock Awards granted to Participants pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided that any Stock Award which is not a Performance Award shall have a minimum Restriction Period of three years from the Grant Date, provided that (A) the Committee may provide for earlier vesting upon a termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, (B) such three-year minimum Restriction Period shall not apply to a Stock Award that is granted in lieu of salary or bonus, (C) vesting of a Stock Award may occur incrementally over the three-year minimum Restricted Period and (D) the restrictions set forth in a Stock Award will terminate immediately if the Participant retires prior to the date on which the restrictions would otherwise terminate and at Retirement he or she is age 65 or older unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement entered into on or after January 1, 2008, or, if not yet age 65, as to Stock Awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, the Participant satisfies the test for Vested Retirement.

     (iii) Performance Award. Without limiting the type or number of Employee Awards or Director Awards that may be made under the other provisions of this Plan, an Employee Award or Director Award may be in the form of a Performance Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Performance Awards granted to Participants pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided that any Stock Award which is a Performance Award shall have a minimum Restriction Period of one year from the Grant Date, provided that the Committee may provide for earlier vesting upon a termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or Retirement. The Committee shall set Performance Goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or amount of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participant.

     (A) Nonqualified Performance Awards. Performance Awards granted to Employees or Directors that are not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be based on achievement of such goals and be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee or its delegate shall determine.

     (B) Qualified Performance Awards. Performance Awards granted to Employees under the Plan that are intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective Performance Goals established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates and (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the goal is established), and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. A Performance Goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met. Such a Performance Goal may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to the Employee, one or more business units or divisions of the Corporation or the applicable sector, or the Corporation as a whole, and if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies. A Performance Goal may include one or more of the following: (a) earnings, either in the aggregate or on a per-share basis, reflecting such dilution of shares as the Committee deems appropriate, including operating earnings, pre-tax earnings, earnings before interest and taxes, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and

10

amortization; (b) gross or net revenue; (c) operating or net cash flow; (d) financial return ratios (e.g., return or net return on one or more of the following: assets, net assets, equity, invested capital, revenue); (e) margins, including net, operating or pre-tax margins; (f) total shareholder return; (g) financial ratios (e.g., debt to capitalization or debt to equity); (h) growth in financial measures or ratios (e.g., revenue, earnings, cash flow, stockholders’ equity, margins); or (i) customer satisfaction, based on specified objective goals, or a customer survey sponsored by the Corporation or one or more business units or divisions of the Corporation.

     (C) Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Goals and Qualified Performance Awards, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(2)(i), as to grants to those Employees whose compensation is, or is likely to be, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance Goals, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable Performance Goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Qualified Performance Awards made pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the following limitations shall apply to any Employee Awards made hereunder:

     (i) no Participant may be granted, during any fiscal year, Employee Awards consisting of Options (including Options that are granted as Performance Awards) that are exercisable for more than 1,110,995 shares of Common Stock;

     (ii) no Participant may be granted, during any fiscal year, Employee Awards consisting of Stock Awards (including Stock Awards that are granted as Performance Awards) covering or relating to more than 555,497 shares of Common Stock (the limitation set forth in this clause (ii), together with the limitation set forth in clause (i) above and (c)(i) and (ii) below, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stock Based Awards Limitations”); and

     (iii) no Participant may be granted Employee Awards under this Plan consisting of cash (including Awards that are granted as Performance Awards) in respect of any fiscal year having a value determined on the Grant Date in excess of an amount equal to 2% of the consolidated net income of the Corporation and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year plus the Black-Scholes Value, determined as of the Option Grant Date, of Options on 219,977 shares of Common Stock determined as if such Options had an Option Grant Date on the effective date of the Employee Award.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan the following limitations shall apply to any Director Awards made hereunder:

     (A) no Participant may be granted, during any fiscal year, Director Awards consisting of Options (including Options that are granted as Performance Awards) that are exercisable for more than 53,327 shares of Common Stock and

11

     (B) no Participant may be granted, during any fiscal year, Director Awards consisting of Stock Awards (including Stock Awards that are granted as Performance Awards) covering or relating to more than 33,330 shares of Common Stock.

9. Change in Control

     Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof, unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, or as otherwise specified in the terms of an Equity Award, in the event of a Change in Control during a Participant’s employment (or service as a Non-employee Director) with the Corporation or one of its Affiliates, each Equity Award granted under this Plan to the Participant shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable, with performance-based equity awards vested at target level (regardless of the otherwise applicable vesting or exercise schedules or Performance Goals provided for under the Award Agreement or the terms of the Equity Award).

10. Payment of Awards

     (a) General.

     (i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10(b) or an Award Agreement, payment in respect of Awards granted on or after January 1, 2008 other than Options will be made as soon as administratively practicable but no later than 60 days following the date on which the payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Code Section 409A; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of payment. Delivery of Common Stock upon exercise of Options will be made in accordance with paragraph 11.

     (ii) Payment made to a Participant pursuant to an Award may be made in the form of cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and may include such restrictions as the Committee shall determine, including, in the case of Common Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. If such payment is made in the form of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall specify whether the underlying shares are to be issued at the beginning or end of the Restriction Period. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the beginning of the Restriction Period, the certificates evidencing such shares (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) shall contain appropriate legends and restrictions that describe the terms and conditions of the restrictions applicable thereto. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are to be issued at the end of the Restricted Period, the right to receive such shares shall be evidenced by book entry registration or in such other manner as the Committee may determine.

     (b) Deferral. With the approval of the Committee, payment in respect of Awards other than Options may be deferred and paid either in the form of installments or as a lump-sum payment. The Committee may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payments of some or all types of such Awards or any other compensation otherwise payable by the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 10(b) and such other procedures as may be established by the Committee and may provide that such deferred compensation may be payable in shares of Common Stock. The Committee also may specify in an Award Agreement or the terms of the Award that payment in respect of an Award will be deferred. Any deferred payment pursuant to an Award, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the Award Agreement or the terms of the Award, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the Award Agreement or the terms of the Award so provide. Any such deferral of payment will be made in accordance with the following:

12

     (i) Initial Deferral Elections by Participants. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 10(b), the Participant must make a written, irrevocable election as to deferral of payment in respect of an Award and the time and form of such payment on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall be no later than:

     (A) December 31^st of the calendar year preceding the calendar year during which the Participant will commence performing the services giving rise to the Award subject to the deferral election; or

     (B) for the first year in which the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, 30 days after the date the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, provided that such an election will only be effective with respect to the portion of the Award related to services performed after the election.

     (ii) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Performance-Based Compensation. In the event that the Committee determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to an Award that is Performance-Based Compensation (as defined below), an eligible Participant may make a written, irrevocable election as to deferral of payment in respect of the Award and the time and form of such payment on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall not be later than 6 months before the end of the performance period.

     For purposes of this subparagraph, “Performance-Based Compensation” means an Award, the amount of which, or the entitlement to which, is contingent on the satisfaction of preestablished organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(e). Performance criteria are considered preestablished if established in writing by not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the criteria relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the criteria are established.

     For a Participant to be eligible to make a deferral election in accordance with this subparagraph, the Participant must have performed services continuously from the later of (A) the beginning of the performance period for the Performance-Based Compensation or (B) the date upon which the performance criteria with respect to the Performance-Based Compensation are established, through the date on which the Participant makes the deferral election. In addition, in no event may a deferral election under this subparagraph be made after the Performance-Based Compensation has become readily ascertainable within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(8).

     (iii) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Fiscal Year Compensation. In the event that the Committee determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to an Award that is Fiscal Year Compensation (as defined below), the Participant may make a written, irrevocable election as to the deferral of payment in respect of the Award and the time and form of such payment on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall not be later than the close of the Employer’s fiscal year immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are performed for which the Award is payable. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term “Fiscal Year Compensation” means an Award relating to a period of service coextensive with one or more consecutive fiscal years of the Employer, of which no amount is paid or payable during the fiscal year(s) constituting the period of service.

13

     (iv) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Short-Term Deferrals. If a Participant has a legally binding right to an Award under the Plan or a payment under an Award in a subsequent calendar year that, absent a deferral election, would be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the Committee determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to payment in respect of the Award, the Participant may make a written, irrevocable election to defer such payment in accordance with the requirements of subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph, applied as if the payment were a deferral of compensation and the scheduled payment date for the payment were the date the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. The Committee may provide in the deferral election that the deferred payment will be payable upon a Change in Control without regard to the five-year additional deferral requirement in subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph 10(b).

     (v) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Compensation Subject to a Risk of Forfeiture. If a Participant has a legally binding right to an Award under the Plan or payment in respect of an Award in a subsequent year and the payment of or under the Award is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant’s continued services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right, the Committee may permit the Participant to make a written, irrevocable election to defer such payment no later than the 30^th day after the Participant obtains the legally binding right to the payment, provided that the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse, as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(5). For purposes of this subparagraph, a condition will not be treated as failing to require the Participant to continue to provide services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right merely because the condition immediately lapses upon Disability or death of the Participant or upon a Change in Control. However, if the Participant’s Disability or death or a Change in Control event occurs before the end of such 12-month period, a deferral election under this subparagraph will be effective only if it would be permissible under another subparagraph of this paragraph 10(b).

     (vi) Deferrals by Committee. If an Award is made that provides for the deferral of compensation for services performed during a Participant’s taxable year and the Participant is not given an opportunity to elect the time or form of payment of such Award, the Committee must designate the time and form of payment no later than the time the Participant first has a legally binding right to the Award or, if later, the time the Participant would be required under this subparagraph 10(b) to make such an election if the Participant were provided such an election.

     (vii) Subsequent Participant Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 10(b), with approval of the Committee, a Participant may elect to further delay payment in respect of an Award or change the form of payment if:

     (A) the election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

     (B) for any payment not made on account of death or Disability, the payment is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date the payment would otherwise have been paid and not later than the expiration date of the Award; and

     (C) any election related to a payment to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule must be made not less than 12 months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid.

14

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may permit Participants to make new payment elections on or before December 31, 2008, with respect to the time and/or form of payment in respect of an Award, provided that the election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in the year in which the election is made and does not cause an amount to be paid in the year in which the election is made that would not otherwise be payable in that year.

     (viii) Acceleration of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, an Award Agreement or a deferral election to the contrary, the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate payment in respect of an Award in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv).

     (ix) Delay of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, an Award Agreement or a deferral election to the contrary, payment in respect of an Award may be delayed by the Committee under the circumstances described in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(7), provided that the Committee treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

     (c) Permissible Payment Events/Times. The Committee may specify any one or more of the following as an event upon or a time at which payment of the vested portion of an Award may be made pursuant to a deferral election under paragraph 10(b): (i) Separation from Service, (ii) Disability, (iii) death, (iv) a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, or (v) a Change in Control. The Committee may provide for payment upon the earliest or latest of more than one such event or time.

     (d) Time of Payment. The payment date with respect to payment of an Award that is deferred under paragraph 10(b) shall be the permissible payment event or time under paragraph 10(c) designated by the Participant or the Committee, as applicable, in accordance with paragraph 10(b). Payment in respect of an Award shall be made within 60 days following the payment date; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the payment.

     (e) Specified Employees. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment in respect of a Participant’s Award provides for a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A and the Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of his or her Separation from Service, no payment on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service may be made with respect to such Participant before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period, the date of the Participant’s death). In such case, any payment that would be made within such six-month period will be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the on the earliest business day that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

     (f) Dividends, Earnings and Interest. Rights to dividends or Dividend Equivalents may be extended to and made part of any Stock Award, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may establish. The Committee may also establish rules and procedures for the crediting of interest or other earnings on deferred cash payments and Dividend Equivalents for Stock Awards.

     (g) Substitution of Awards. Subject to paragraphs 13 and 15, at the discretion of the Committee and after considering tax and other potential legal implications, a Participant who is an Employee may be offered an election to substitute an Employee Award for another Employee Award or Employee Awards of the same or different type.

15

11. Option Exercise

     Following exercise the Grant Price shall be paid in full in cash at the time of delivery of the stock or, if permitted by the Committee and elected by the optionee, the optionee may purchase such shares by means of tendering Common Stock owned by the optionee, or having the Corporation withhold from the shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option an appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, or any combination thereof. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for Participants to tender Common Stock or have Common Stock withheld in payment of the Grant Price. The Committee may provide for procedures to permit the exercise or purchase of such Awards by use of the proceeds to be received from the sale of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Award. The Committee may adopt additional rules and procedures regarding the exercise of Options from time to time, provided that such rules and procedures are not inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph.

     An optionee desiring to pay the Grant Price of an Option by tendering Common Stock using the method of attestation may, subject to any such conditions and in compliance with any such procedures as the Committee may adopt, do so by attesting to the ownership of Common Stock of the requisite value in which case the Corporation shall issue or otherwise deliver to the optionee upon such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option equal to the result obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option for which the Option (or portion thereof) is being exercised over the Grant Price payable in respect of such exercise by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock subject to the Option, and the optionee may retain the shares of Common Stock the ownership of which is attested.

     If an optionee desires to pay the Grant Price of an Option by having the Corporation withhold from the shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option shares of Common Stock of the requisite value, then, subject to any conditions and in compliance with any procedures as the Committee may adopt, the Corporation shall issue or otherwise deliver to the optionee upon such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option equal to the result obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option for which the Option (or portion thereof) is being exercised over the Grant Price payable in respect of such exercise by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock subject to the Option.

12. Taxes

     The Corporation or its designated third party administrator shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Employee Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or shares of Common Stock under this Plan, an appropriate amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof for payment of taxes or other amounts required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Corporation to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Corporation of shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Employee Award with respect to which withholding is required. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made. The Committee may provide for loans, on either a short term or demand basis, from the Corporation to a Participant who is an Employee to permit the payment of taxes required by law.

13. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination of the Plan

     The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (i) no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award

16

previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant and (ii) no amendment or alteration shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Corporation to the extent such approval is required by applicable legal requirements or the requirements of the securities exchange on which the Corporation’s stock is listed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the prior approval of the Corporation’s stockholders, Options issued under the Plan will not be repriced, replaced, or regranted through cancellation or by decreasing the Grant Price of a previously granted Option.

14. Assignability

     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the Award Agreement or the terms of the Award or to a family limited partnership, trust or similar entity pre-approved by the Committee, no Award or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will, beneficiary designation, the laws of descent and distribution, or a domestic relations order. In the event that a beneficiary designation conflicts with an assignment by will, the beneficiary designation will prevail. The Committee may prescribe and include in applicable Award Agreements or the terms of the Award other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this paragraph 14 shall be null and void.

15. Adjustments

     (a) The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Corporation or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the existing Common Stock) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above.

     (b) In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding shares of Common Stock, declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or other stock split, then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards, (iii) the Grant Price or other price in respect of such Awards, (iv) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards, and (v) the Stock Based Awards Limitations shall each be proportionately adjusted to reflect such transaction. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Corporation of any plan of exchange affecting Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Common Stock), the Board may make appropriate adjustments to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by Awards, (iii) the Grant Price or other price in respect of such Awards, (iv) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards, and (v) the Stock Based Awards Limitations to reflect such transaction; provided that such adjustments shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without increasing, the value of such Awards. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board shall be authorized (x) to assume under the Plan previously issued compensatory awards, or to substitute new Awards for previously issued compensatory awards, including Awards, as part of such adjustment or (y) to cancel Awards that are Options and give the Participants who are the holders of such Awards notice and opportunity to exercise for 30 days prior to such cancellation.

17

16. Restrictions

     No Common Stock or other form of payment shall be issued with respect to any Award unless the Corporation shall be satisfied based on the advice of its counsel that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered under this Plan (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for quotation and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed upon such certificates (if any) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

17. Unfunded Plan

     This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants under this Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience, including bookkeeping accounts established by a third party administrator retained by the Corporation to administer the Plan. The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets for purposes of this Plan or Awards hereunder, nor shall the Corporation, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any benefit to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of the Corporation to any Participant with respect to an Award under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Award Agreement or the terms of the Award, and no such liability or obligation of the Corporation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Corporation. Neither the Corporation nor the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.

18. Right to Employment

     Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or an Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or other service relationship at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the capacity in which he or she is employed or otherwise serves the Corporation.

19. Successors

     All obligations of the Corporation under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Corporation, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation.

20. Governing Law

     This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

21. Effectiveness

     The Plan was submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for approval and approved at the 2003 annual meeting of shareholders to be effective as of April 1, 2003. The effective date of this amended and restated Plan is January 1, 2008.

18

22. NYSE Limitations

     If any provision of this Plan has the effect of increasing the number of shares available for Awards hereunder by adding back shares and such provision constitutes a “formula” under the formula plan rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) (including Section 303A.08 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual), then the portion of such provision that constitutes a “formula” shall be operative only until, and shall cease to be effective on, the date that is 10 years after July 17, 2003 or, if later, the date of the most recent shareholder approval of the Plan.

23. Adoption By Affiliates

     With the consent of the Committee, any Affiliate that is not considered a single employer with the Corporation under Code Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) may adopt the Plan for the benefit of its Employees by written instrument delivered to the Committee before the grant of any Award subject to Code Section 409A to the Affiliate’s Employees under the Plan.

The Committee shall also have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or proper, all of which powers shall be exercised in the best interests of the Company and in keeping with the objectives of this Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for the extension of the exercisability of an Option but only to the extent such extension does not result in a modification of the Option for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Option or Restricted Stock award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions applicable to an Option or Restricted Stock award, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan or an Option or Restricted Stock award or otherwise amend or modify an Option or Restricted Stock award in any manner that is either (i) not adverse to the Optionee or holder of Restricted Stock to whom such Option or Restricted Stock was granted or (ii) consented to by the Optionee or holder of Restricted Stock. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable to further the Plan purposes. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of this Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.

4. Shares Subject to Plan

     (a) A maximum of 3,888,482 Shares shall be subject to grants of Options or awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan; provided, however, that of such number of Shares, no more than 350,000 Shares shall be subject to awards of Restricted Stock; and provided further, that such maximum shall be increased or decreased as provided in Section 12 hereof. The Shares subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued Shares or previously issued Shares reacquired and held by the Company or any Affiliate.

     (b) At any time and from time to time after the Plan takes effect, the Committee, pursuant to the provisions herein set forth, may grant Options and award Restricted Stock until the maximum number of Shares shall be exhausted or the Plan shall be sooner terminated.

     (c) If any Option expires or is canceled without being fully exercised or is settled in cash, or if any Restricted Stock previously awarded is reacquired by the Company, the number of Shares with respect to which such Option shall not have been exercised prior to its expiration or cancellation and the number of Shares of such Restricted Stock so reacquired may again be optioned or awarded pursuant to the provisions hereof.

     (d) If the option price or any applicable tax withholding obligation payable upon exercise of an Option is satisfied by the tender or withholding of Shares to or by the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), the number of Shares so tendered or withheld shall be eligible for reissuance under the Plan.

3

5. Eligibility

     Eligibility for receipt of a grant of Options under the Plan shall be confined to (a) a limited number of persons who are employed by the Company or an Affiliate and hold key positions in and for the Company or an Affiliate and (b) Directors.

6. Granting of Options

     (a) From time to time while the Plan is in effect, the Committee may in its absolute discretion select from among the persons eligible to receive a grant of Options under the Plan (including persons who have already received such grants of Options) such one or more of them as in the opinion of the Committee should be granted Options. The Committee shall thereupon, likewise in its absolute discretion, determine the number of Shares to be allotted for option to each person so selected.

     (b) Each person so selected shall be granted an Option to purchase the number of Shares so allotted to him, upon such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may specify.

     (c) Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Option. The date that the Committee specifies to be the grant date of an Option to an individual shall constitute the date on which the Option covered by such Agreement is granted; provided, however, that the grant date of an Option will be determined in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(vi)(B). In no event, however, shall an Optionee gain any rights in addition to those specified by the Committee in its grant, regardless of the time that may pass between the grant of the Option and the actual execution of the Agreement by the Company and the Optionee.

     (d) No person may be granted Options under this Plan for more than 250,000 Shares in any one-year period.

7. Option Price

     The option price for each Share covered by each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there occurs any transaction of a type described in Section 12(a), (b) or (c) hereof, the option price of the Shares subject to each existing Option adjusted pursuant to such provisions or any new Option or assumed option issued pursuant to such provisions may be different than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time the Option is granted; provided, however, in no event shall –

     (a) the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option immediately after the transaction over the aggregate option price of such Shares be more than the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares subject to the other option immediately prior to the transaction over the aggregate option price of shares subject to the other option; and

     (b) the ratio of the option price to the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option immediately after the transaction be more favorable to the Optionee than the ratio of the option price to the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the other option immediately prior to such transaction, determined on a share-by-share basis.

4

     Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of this Section 7 shall be applied in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 7 and the above cited statute, regulations, and rulings, or in the event of an omission in this Section 7 of a provision required by said laws, the latter shall control in all respects and are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if set out at length.

8. Option Period

     Each Option shall run for such period of time as the Committee may specify, but in no event for longer than seven (7) years from the date when the Option is granted, including the period of time provided in the subsections of this Section 8; and subject to the following limits:

     (a) Except as provided below in this subsection (a) or in subsection (f), all rights to exercise an Option shall terminate within four (4) months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or after the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director, whichever may occur later, for any reason other than death or Disability (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option); except that (i) in the case of an Optionee who is a Director and, on the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director (and if also an employee ceases to be an employee), has (A) at least ten (10) years of service as a Director, all Shares subject to such Option will vest on such date and all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate three (3) years after the date the Optionee ceases to be a Director (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option), or (B) less than ten (10) years of service as a Director, all Shares subject to such Option will continue to vest in accordance with its terms for a period of three (3) years following such date, and all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate three (3) years after such date; and (ii) if the Optionee’s employment or service as a Director is terminated for cause, the entire Option, including both exercisable and unexercisable Shares, shall immediately terminate and thereafter be null and void for all purposes.

     (b) In the case of an Optionee who satisfies the test for Vested Retirement, Options granted prior to April 1, 2006 and held by such Optionee will automatically vest upon Vested Retirement.

     (c) If the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and its Affiliates, or ceases to be a Director, whichever may occur later, by reason of his death, all rights to exercise any Option held by such Optionee shall terminate fifteen (15) months after his death (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option).

     (d) If the employment of the Optionee with the Company or any of its Affiliates shall terminate as a result of a Disability, he may, within six (6) months following such date (but in no event later than the end of the original period of the Option), exercise any Option held by such Optionee, in each case, to the extent he was entitled to exercise such Option on the date of termination of employment. To the extent that the Shares covered by his Option were unexercisable as of such termination of employment, the Option shall terminate. If the Optionee does not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to exercise as of such termination) within the time specified herein, the Option shall thereupon terminate.

     (e) If an Option is granted with a term shorter than seven (7) years, the Committee may extend the term of the Option, but for not more than seven (7) years from the date when the Option was originally granted.

     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Option granted prior to April 1, 2006 is held by an Optionee who retires and satisfies the test for Vested Retirement, then all rights to exercise any and all

5

Options will terminate 12 months following the date of the Vested Retirement. To the extent that an Agreement provides for a longer time to exercise, then such Agreement will control.

9. Options Not Transferable

     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the Agreement, no Option or interest therein shall be transferable by an Optionee otherwise than by will, the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or a domestic relations order. The Committee may prescribe and include in an Agreement any applicable restrictions or conditions on transfer of Options. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9 shall be null and void.

10. Exercise of Options

     (a) During the lifetime of an Optionee, only he or his guardian or legal representative or transferee may exercise an Option granted to him. In the event of his death, any then exercisable portion of his Option may, within fifteen (15) months thereafter or earlier date of termination of the original period of Option, be exercised in whole or in part by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

     (b) At any time, and from time to time, during the period when any Option, or a portion thereof, is exercisable, such Option, or portion thereof, may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Committee may require in the Agreement that any Option which is partially exercised be so exercised with respect to at least a stated minimum number of Shares.

     (c) Each exercise of an Option or portion or part thereof shall be evidenced by a notice in writing by or on behalf of the Optionee to the Company. The purchase price of the Shares for which an Option is exercised must be paid prior to issuance of the Shares. The Exercise price of an Option must be paid by cash, certified or cashiers’ check, wire transfer, delivery (either actually or by attestation) of whole Shares owned by the Optionee, or through the withholding by the Company from the Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option of an appropriate number of Shares, or any combination of the aforementioned methods of payment, prior to issuance of the Shares. For purposes of determining the amount, if any, of the option price satisfied by delivery or withholding of Shares, such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Any Shares actually delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the option price shall be appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company.

     (d) No Shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made, and an Optionee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder until Shares are issued to him.

     (e) Nothing herein or in any Agreement evidencing an Option granted hereunder shall require the Company to issue any Shares upon exercise of an Option if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, or any other applicable statute or regulation, as then in effect. Upon the exercise of an Option or portion or part thereof, the Optionee shall give to the Company satisfactory evidence that he is acquiring such Shares for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to their distribution; provided, however, if or to the extent that the Shares subject to the Option shall be included in a registration statement filed by the Company or an Affiliate, such investment representation shall not be required.

6

11. Delivery of Shares Upon Exercise

     As promptly as may be practicable after an Option, or a portion or part thereof, has been exercised as hereinabove provided, the Company shall make delivery of the Shares acquired upon exercise of such Option to the Optionee or shall cause such Optionee’s interest in such Shares to be evidenced by an entry on the Company’s books and records.

12. Changes in Company’s Shares and Certain Corporate Transactions

     (a) If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall occur any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding Shares, declaration of a dividend payable in Shares or other stock split, then, and in each such event, proportionate adjustments shall be made, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(v)(5)(D), to:

     (i) the maximum number of Shares then subject to being optioned or awarded as Restricted Stock under the Plan, to the end that the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned and awarded;

     (ii) the number of Shares and the option price per Share thereof then subject to purchase pursuant to each Option previously granted, to the end that the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate option price;

     (iii) the number of Shares of Restricted Stock previously awarded under the Plan, to the end that each award represents the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares; and

     (iv) the number of Shares subject to Options that may be granted to any person in any one-year period pursuant to the limitation set forth in Section 6(d), to the end that each such limitation represents the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares.

     (b) If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall occur any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting the Shares or any distribution to holders of Shares of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Shares), the Committee may, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(v)(5)(D), make proportionate adjustments to:

     (i) the number of Shares and the option price per Share thereof then subject to purchase pursuant to each Option previously granted;

     (ii) the number of Shares of Restricted Stock previously awarded under the Plan;

     (iii) the number of Shares subject to Options that may be granted to any person in any one-year period pursuant to the limitation set forth in Section 6(d); and

     (iv) the maximum number of Shares then subject to being optioned or awarded as Restricted Stock under the Plan;

     in each case, in order to reflect the transaction and (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above) to the end of maintaining the proportionate interest of the holders of Options and Shares of Restricted Stock;

7

provided, however, that such adjustments shall only be made to the extent necessary to preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Options and Shares of Restricted Stock.

     (c) In the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized to issue or assume new Options or Shares of Restricted Stock as it determines is appropriate in substitution for, or to reflect the assumption of, any other option, restricted stock grant or other award, whether or not awarded under this Plan.

     (d) Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or option price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issuance by the Company of debt securities or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Options or Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of the Company in another state) or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction) or a change in control (as specified below) shall cause every Option then outstanding to become exercisable in full and shall cause every restriction with respect to any Shares of Restricted Stock to terminate immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or change in control, to the extent not theretofore exercisable or free of restrictions, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of exercisability or termination of restrictions contained in the Agreements if, and only if, such Options have not at that time theretofore expired or been terminated or such Shares of Restricted Stock have not at that time theretofore been cancelled or forfeited. For purposes of this Section 12(c), a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if (i) a third person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of Shares of the Company having 50% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company or (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for directors, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event of any such dissolution, merger, consolidation or change in control, the Board may completely satisfy all obligations of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to any Options or Shares of Restricted Stock outstanding on the date of such event and cancel such Options or Shares of Restricted Stock by (A) in the case of Options, delivering to the Optionee cash in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate option price for Shares under the Options and the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event and (B) in the case of Shares of Restricted Stock, delivering to the holder of such Shares cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, which payment shall in either case be made within a reasonable time after such event.

8

     (f) As of March 31, 2006 the number of shares available for issuance of Options or awards of Restricted Stock is 668,592, and there shall be no more awards of Restricted Stock.

13. Effective Date

     The Plan shall be effective on May 17, 2001, the date of its adoption by the Board, but shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the next regular or special meeting thereof to be held within twelve (12) months after the Board shall have adopted the Plan. If, at such a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the Plan is not approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the $0.25 par value common stock of the Company present and entitled to vote at such meeting, then, and in such event, the Plan and all Options granted under the Plan and all awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall become null and void and of no further force or effect.

14. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan

     The Board may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that (a) no amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any holder under any award previously granted to such person shall be made without the consent of such person and (b) after the stockholders of the Company have ratified the Plan, no amendment or alteration that would increase the maximum number of Shares subject to the Plan (as provided in Section 4(a)) or decrease the option price of an Option below 100% of the Fair Market Value as of the date such Option was granted (as provided in Section 7) may be made without obtaining approval of the stockholders.

15. Requirements of Law

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue Shares under any Option if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange. As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares under an Option, the Company may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Company may deem necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with any such law or regulation.

16. Modification of Options

     Except as provided in Section 12, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, (i) after an Option has been awarded, the price at which Shares may be purchased upon exercise of such Option shall not be amended and (ii) no Option shall be granted in exchange for a previously granted Option if the option price of such previously granted Option is greater than the option price of such replacement Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, no modification or cancellation of an Option granted hereunder shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted hereunder to such Optionee under the Plan.

17. Restricted Stock

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of, and within the limitations of, the Plan, Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded by the Committee to such individuals as are eligible for grants of Options, as the Committee may determine at any time and from time to time before the termination of the Plan. Each award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the award.

9

     (b) A Share of Restricted Stock is a Share that does not irrevocably vest in the holder or that may not be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the time of the award of the Restricted Stock have been satisfied. A Share of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such other restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, which may include, without limitation, the rendition of services to the Company or its Affiliates for a specified time or the achievement of specific goals.

     (c) If an individual receives Shares of Restricted Stock, whether or not escrowed as provided below, the individual shall be the record owner of such Shares and shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares (unless the escrow agreement, if any, specifically provides otherwise), including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares. Any certificate or certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock may bear a legend similar to the following:

     The shares represented by this certificate have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Centex Corporation 2001 Stock Plan and may not be sold, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered in any manner except as set forth in the terms of such award dated                     , 20   .

     (d) In order to enforce the restrictions, terms and conditions that may be applicable to an individual’s Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require the individual, upon the receipt of a certificate or certificates representing such Shares, or at any time thereafter, to deposit such certificate or certificates, together with stock powers and other instruments of transfer, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an escrow agent designated by the Company under an escrow agreement in such form as shall be determined by the Committee.

     (e) After the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the time of an award of Restricted Stock to an individual, if the original certificate was legended, a new certificate, without the legend set forth above, for the number of Shares that are no longer subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions shall be delivered to the individual, either by delivery of a physical certificate or an electronic transfer to a broker.

     (f) The Committee may cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of such restrictions with respect to any or all of the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to an individual hereunder on such terms as the Committee may deem appropriate.

     (g) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 17, including paragraph (i) below, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an individual to whom Restricted Stock has been awarded ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate, or ceases to be a director of the Company, whichever may occur later, for any reason prior to the satisfaction of any terms and conditions of an award, any Restricted Stock remaining subject to restrictions shall thereupon be forfeited by the individual and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company or an Affiliate at no cost to the Company or the Affiliate. In such event, the individual, or in the event of his death, his personal representative, shall forthwith deliver to the Secretary of the Company the certificates for the Shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject to such restrictions, accompanied by such instruments of transfer, if any, as may reasonably be required by the Secretary of the Company.

     (h) The Committee may determine that an award of Restricted Stock will be subject to restriction until one or more performance goals established by the Committee have been achieved. With respect to

10

such an award, the restrictions shall lapse and the award shall vest only upon achievement of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective performance goals established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goal relates and (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as established in good faith at the time the goal is established), and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. A performance goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met. Such a performance goal may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to the individual, one or more business units of the Company, or the Company as a whole, and may include one or more of the following: operating income, operating margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), pre-tax income, net income, net earnings per share, net earnings per share growth, return on beginning stockholder’s equity, return on average net assets, total shareholder return relative to other companies in Centex Corporation’s industry group, debt/capitalization ratio and customer satisfaction. Unless otherwise stated, such a performance goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to performance goals, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.162-27(e)(2)(i), and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of performance goals, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable performance goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. No individual may be granted Restricted Stock awards subject to performance goals designed to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code having a value of more than $2,500,000 in any given one-year period.

     (i) The restrictions set forth in an Agreement relative to Restricted Stock granted prior to April 1, 2006 will terminate immediately if the Participant retires and at the time of Retirement he or she qualifies for Vested Retirement under the Plan.

18. Tax Withholding

     The Company shall have the right to take whatever affirmative actions are required, in the opinion of the Committee, to enable the Company or appropriate Affiliate to satisfy any applicable payroll tax withholding requirements in connection with the exercise of Options granted or Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provision, the Company shall have the right to (a) withhold cash from a same-day-sale exercise of an Option, (b) deduct applicable taxes from any Option or Restricted Stock award by withholding, at the time of delivery and/or vesting of Shares under the Plan, an appropriate number of Shares for payment of taxes required by law, (c) permit its withholding obligations to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of Shares theretofore owned by the holder of the Option or recipient of Restricted Stock with respect to which withholding is required, in which case such Shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value thereof when the tax withholding is required to be made, or (d) take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations.

19. General

     (a) The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options shall be used for general corporate purposes.

     (b) Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Agreement shall confer upon any Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or

11

interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such Optionee’s or recipient’s employment at any time.

     (c) Neither the members of the Board nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option or award of Restricted Stock granted under it, and the members of the Board and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including counsel fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and under any directors and officers liability or similar insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time.

     (d) As partial consideration for the granting of each Option or award of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Optionee or recipient shall agree with the Company that he will keep confidential all information and knowledge that he has relating to the manner and amount of his participation in the Plan; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law or given in confidence to the individual’s spouse, tax or financial advisors or to a financial institution to the extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan.

     (e) Participation in the Plan shall not preclude an individual from eligibility in any other stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate or any old-age benefit, insurance, pension, profit sharing, retirement, bonus or other extra compensation plans that the Company or any Affiliate has adopted or may, at any time, adopt for the benefit of its employees or directors.

     (f) Any payment of cash or any issuance or transfer of Shares to the Optionee or to his legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such persons hereunder. The Board or Committee may require any Optionee or recipient of an award of Restricted Stock, legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.

     (g) Neither the Committee, the Board nor the Company guarantees the Shares from loss or depreciation.

     (h) All expenses incident to the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, shall be paid by the Company or its Affiliates.

     (i) Records of the Company and its Affiliates regarding an individual’s period of employment, termination of employment and the reason therefor, leaves of absence, reemployment, tenure as a Director and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Board or Committee to be incorrect.

     (j) The Company and its Affiliates shall, upon request or as may be specifically required hereunder, furnish or cause to be furnished all of the information or documentation that is necessary or required by the Board or Committee to perform their duties and functions under the Plan.

     (k) The Company assumes no obligation or responsibility to an Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock, or to such Optionee’s or recipient’s personal representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees, for any act of, or failure to act on the part of, the Board or Committee.

12

     (l) Any action required of the Company shall be by resolution of the Board or by a person authorized to act by resolution of the Board. Any action required of the Committee shall be by resolution of the Committee or by a person authorized to act by resolution of the Committee.

     (m) If any provision of the Plan or any Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan or the Agreement, as the case may be, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan or the Agreement, as the case may be, shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein or therein.

     (n) Whenever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by mail. Any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered on the date on which it is personally delivered or, whether actually received or not, on the third business day after it is deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the person who is to receive it at the address that such person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. The Company, an Optionee or a recipient of Restricted Stock may change, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the other, the address that it, he or she had theretofore specified for receiving notices. Until changed in accordance herewith, the Company and each Optionee and recipient of Restricted Stock shall specify as its and his address for receiving notices the address set forth in the Agreement pertaining to the shares of Stock to which such notice relates or otherwise provided to the other in accordance with the Company’s policies for maintaining such information.

     (o) Any person entitled to notice hereunder may waive such notice.

     (p) The Plan shall be binding upon the Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock, his heirs, legatees and legal representatives, upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and upon the Board and Committee and their successors.

     (q) The titles and headings of Sections and paragraphs are included for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof.

     (r) All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Nevada, except to the extent Nevada law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale or delivery of such Shares.

     (s) Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.

     (t) Transactions related to the Plan, including but not limited to the delivery and acceptance of any Agreement and the exercise of any Option, whether in whole or in part, may be evidenced by either signed documentation or on-line transactions through the Stock Plan Services web site of the Company’s designated stock plan administrator, Fidelity Investments, or the successor thereof.

     (u) If any provision of this Plan has the effect of increasing the number of shares available for Awards hereunder by adding back shares and such provision constitutes a “formula” under the formula plan rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) (including Section 303A.08 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual), then the portion of such provision that constitutes a “formula” shall be operative only until, and shall cease to be effective on, the date that is 10 years after July 19, 2003 or, if later, the date of the most recent shareholder approval of the Plan.

EX-10.4

Exhibit 10.4

AMENDED AND RESTATED

1998 CENTEX CORPORATION

EMPLOYEE NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

1. Purpose of the Plan.

     This 1998 Centex Corporation Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is intended as an employment incentive to retain in the employ of Centex Corporation (the “Company”), and any Affiliate (including any entity that becomes an Affiliate), persons of training, experience and ability, to attract new employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company. For purposes of the Plan, “Affiliate” shall mean any direct or indirect subsidiary or parent of the Company and any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other business venture or entity in which the Company owns at least 50% of the ownership interest in such entity, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion (such determination by the Committee to be conclusively established by the grant of options by the Committee to an officer or employee of such an entity); provided, however, that such entity shall be considered an Affiliate only if it would be aggregated and treated as a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (controlled group of corporations) or Section 414(c) of the Code (group of trades or businesses under common control), as applicable, but in applying such Sections of the Code, an ownership threshold of 50% shall be used as a substitute for the 80% minimum ownership threshold that appears in, and otherwise must be used when applying, the applicable provisions of (a) Section 1563 of the Code and the regulations thereunder for determining a controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code, and (b) Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2 for determining the trades or businesses that are under common control under Section 414(c) of the Code. It is further intended each option granted pursuant to the Plan (herein, an “Option”) shall constitute non-qualified stock options within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code. Options granted hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent.

2. Administration of the Plan.

     The Board of Directors shall appoint and maintain a Compensation and Stock Option Committee (hereinafter called the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors to administer the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full power and authority to designate persons to whom Options will be granted, to determine the terms and provisions of respective option agreements (which need not be identical), and to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant Options containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.

3. Designation of Participants.

     The persons eligible for participation in the Plan as recipients of Options shall include all employees of the Company or of any Affiliate, including employees of any entity that becomes an Affiliate after the date that the Plan is adopted, other than any of the following persons (herein, an “Ineligible Person”):

     (a) any person who is an executive officer, as defined by Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or director of the Company;

     (b) any “officer” of the Company as defined by Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

1

     (c) any “covered employee” of the Company as defined by Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.

     Each Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the Optionee, which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any person who has been granted an Option hereunder (herein, an “Optionee”) may be granted an additional Option or Options, if the Committee shall so determine. Participation in the Plan shall not preclude an Optionee from participating in any other stock option, benefit, bonus, or other compensation plan which the Company or any Affiliate has adopted, or may, from time to time, adopt for the benefit of its employees.

4. Stock Reserved for the Plan.

     Subject to any adjustment provided in Paragraph 9 hereof, a total of 5,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.25 par value, of the Company (the “Stock”) shall be subject to the Plan. As of March 31, 2006, the number of shares available for Option issuance is 96,552. The shares of Stock subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company, or any Affiliate, and such amount of shares shall be and hereby is reserved for delivery under the Plan. Any of such shares which may remain unsold and which are not subject to outstanding Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be reserved for the purpose of the Plan, but until termination of the Plan the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares of Stock to meet the requirements of the Plan. Should any Option expire or be canceled prior to its exercise or relinquishment in full, the shares theretofore subject to such Option may again be subjected to an Option under the Plan. If the purchase price or tax withholding is permitted to be satisfied by the tender or withholding of shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), the number of shares of Stock tendered or withheld shall be eligible for reissuance under the Plan.

5. Purchase Price.

     (a) The purchase price of each share placed under option pursuant to the Plan (a “Share”) shall be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date the Option is granted. If an Option is granted as part of an Optionee’s compensation package at the commencement of an Optionee’s employment by the Company or an Affiliate, the Option shall be deemed to have been granted on the date of commencement of such Optionee’s employment by the Company or any Affiliate (the “Commencement Date”) and the purchase price of a Share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such Share on the Commencement Date, so long as such Option is not granted more than ninety (90) days following the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the grant date and purchase price of an Option that is granted as part of an Optionee’s compensation package must be determined in a different manner in order to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder shall control.

     (b) “Fair Market Value” of a share of Stock means, as of a particular date, (A) if the Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the closing price per share of such Stock, as reported on the consolidated transaction reporting system for the New York Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed that is at the applicable time the principal market for the Stock, or any other source selected by the Committee, or, if there shall have been no such sales so reported on that date, on the last preceding date on which such a sale was so reported, (B) if the Stock is not so listed, the mean between the closing bid and asked price of the Stock on that date, or, if there are no quotations available for such date, on the last preceding date on which such a quotation was reported, as reported on a recognized quotation system selected by the Committee, or, if not so reported, then as reported by The Pink Sheets LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), or (C) at the discretion of the Committee, the value of Stock determined in good faith by the Committee. Any determination of Fair Market Value shall be consistent with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder.

2

6. Option Period.

     The Options granted under the Plan shall be for any term set by the Committee, but not more than ten (10) years from the date of granting of each Option. All rights to exercise an Option shall terminate within three (3) months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate, except that

     (a) the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in new option grants or amend outstanding Options to provide an extended period of time during which an Optionee can exercise an Option up to the maximum permissible period which such Optionee’s Option would have been exercisable in the absence of the Optionee ceasing to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate but only to the extent such extension does not result in a modification of the Option for purposes of Section 409A of the Code;

     (b) if an Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate by reason of such Optionee’s death, all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate fifteen (15) months after such death; and

     (c) if the Optionee is terminated for cause, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, any Option granted to such Optionee hereunder shall terminate on the date of such termination.

     (d) Attached hereto are resolutions adopted by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, now the “Committee”, relating to vesting and exercise, which shall apply only to Options granted prior to April 1, 2006.

7. Exercise of Options.

     (a) Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable from time to time under the terms specified in the Plan, by the Committee, or in the agreement relating to the grant of such Option.

     (b) Each exercise of an Option or a portion of an Option shall be evidenced by a notice in writing by or on behalf of the Optionee to the Company, stating the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

     (c) Options may be exercised solely by the Optionee or a Permitted Transferee (hereafter defined).

     (d) The purchase price of the Shares for which an Option is exercised must be paid prior to issuance of the Shares. Such purchase price shall be payable (i) in cash, certified or cashiers’ check, or wire transfer, (ii) at the option of the holder of such Option, in Stock theretofore owned by such holder by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, or through the withholding by the Company from the Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option of an appropriate number of Shares, (iii) by a combination of cash and such delivery or withholding of Stock; or (iv) by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker satisfactory to the Company to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of determining the amount, if any, of the purchase price satisfied by payment in Stock, such Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Any Stock delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price shall be appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company. No holder of an Option shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been delivered by the Company to such holder or such holder’s interest in such shares shall have been evidenced by an entry on the Company’s books and records.

3

     (e) If any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares specified in such notice, the time for delivery thereof, which would otherwise be as promptly as possible, shall be postponed for the period of time necessary to take such action.

8. Assignability.

     Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, no Option or interest therein shall be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will, the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or a domestic relations order. Any person to whom an Option is transferred in accordance with this Section 8 is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”.

9. Adjustments.

     (a) In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding Stock of the Company, declaration of a dividend payable in shares of Stock of the Company or other stock split, then (i) the number of shares of Stock reserved under this Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Stock covered by outstanding Options, and (iii) the purchase price per share of Stock in respect of such Options shall each be proportionately adjusted to reflect such transaction. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Company of any plan of exchange affecting shares of Stock of the Company or any distribution to holders of shares of Stock of the Company of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in shares of Stock of the Company), the Board shall make appropriate adjustments to (i) the number of Shares reserved under this Plan, (ii) the number of Shares covered by outstanding Options, and (iii) the purchase price per share in respect of such Options to reflect such transaction in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D); provided that such adjustments under (ii) and (iii) shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Options and preserve, without increasing, the value of such Options. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board shall be authorized (x) to assume under the Plan previously issued compensatory options, or to substitute new Options for previously issued compensatory Options as part of such adjustment or (y) to cancel Options and give the Participants who are the holders of such Options notice and opportunity to exercise for 30 days prior to such cancellation.

     (b) Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issue by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or purchase price of Shares. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities or preferred or preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a party with or junior to the Stock); (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of the Company in another state) or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction), a transaction in which another

4

corporation becomes the owner of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or a change in control (as specified below), shall cause every Option then outstanding to become exercisable in full immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, to the extent not theretofore exercised, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of exercisability contained in the Agreements if (and only if) such Options have not at that time expired or been terminated. For purposes of this paragraph, a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if: a third person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having fifty percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company; or as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for directors, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph:

     (i) an event, transaction, or corporate action shall not have the effect of accelerating the exercisability of Options if: (A) persons who were the directors of the Company and persons who were the executive officers of the Company as of six months prior to such event immediately after such event constitute a majority of the directors and constitute a majority of executive officers, respectively, for, and own in the aggregate at least ten percent of the voting securities or equity interests of, the Company or the surviving or resulting corporation or the parent of such surviving or resulting corporation; and (B) if the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, such surviving or resulting corporation or parent of such surviving or resulting corporation substitutes substantially identical options for any outstanding Options; and

     (ii) in the event of any dissolution, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, the Board may completely satisfy and extinguish all obligations of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to any Option outstanding on the date of such event by delivering to the Optionee cash in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate purchase price for Shares under the Option and the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, such payment to be made within a reasonable time after such event.

10. Tax Withholding.

     The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Option and withhold, at the time of delivery of Shares under the Plan, an appropriate number of Shares for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may also permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of Stock theretofore owned by the holder of the Option with respect to which withholding is required. If Shares or Stock are used to satisfy tax withholding, such Shares or Stock shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made.

11. Effective Date of Plan.

     The effective date of the Plan shall be February 19, 1998. No Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after May 13, 2005.

12. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.

     The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall be made (i) that would impair the rights of any Optionee under any Option previously granted to such Optionee without such Optionee’s written consent, (ii) prior to approval by the Company’s shareholders if such approval is then required thereby, or (iii) that would reduce the purchase price of any outstanding Option, other than as provided by Section 9(a)(ii).

5

13. Requirements of Law.

     (a) The Plan, and the granting and exercise of Options hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares under such Options, shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

     (b) Nothing herein or in any Agreement executed or Option granted hereunder shall require the Company to deliver any Shares upon exercise of an Option if such delivery would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, or any other applicable statute or regulation, as then in effect. Upon the exercise of an Option or portion or part thereof, the Optionee may be required to give to the Company satisfactory evidence that he is acquiring such Shares for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to their distribution; provided, however, if or to the extent that the Shares subject to the Option shall be included in a registration statement filed by the Company, or one of its Affiliates, such investment representation shall be abrogated.

14. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon any Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his employment at any time.

     (b) Any payment of cash or any delivery of Shares to the Optionee, or to an Optionee’s Permitted Transferee, in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such person with respect to the Option being exercised (or portion thereof). The Committee may require any Optionee, or Permitted Transferee, as a condition precedent to such payment or delivery, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.

     (c) Neither the Committee nor the Company guarantees the Shares from loss or depreciation.

     (d) Records of the Company and its Affiliates regarding an individual’s period of employment, termination of employment and the reason therefor, leaves of absence, re-employment and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Committee to be incorrect in its sole and absolute discretion.

     (e) The Company assumes no obligation or responsibility to an Optionee or any Permitted Transferee for any act of, or failure to act on the part of, the Committee.

     (f) If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

     (g) The titles and headings of Sections are included for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof.

     (h) All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Nevada except to the extent Nevada law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Shares.

     (i) Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 1987 STOCK OPTION PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

1. Purpose

     The purpose of this Plan is to assist Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation, in attracting and retaining as officers and key employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and as non-employee directors of the Company, individuals of training, experience and ability and to furnish additional incentive to such individuals by encouraging them to become owners of Shares of the Company’s capital stock, by granting to such individuals Incentive Options, Nonqualified Options, Restricted Stock, or any combination of the foregoing. Nonqualified Options granted hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent.

1

sale was so reported, (B) if Shares are not so listed, the mean between the closing bid and asked price of Shares on that date, or, if there are no quotations available for such date, on the last preceding date on which such a quotation was reported, as reported on a recognized quotation system selected by the Committee, or, if not so reported, then as reported by The Pink Sheets LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), or (C) at the discretion of the Committee, the value of Shares determined in good faith by the Committee. Any determination of Fair Market Value shall be consistent with Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder with regard to Incentive Options and Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder with regard to Nonqualified Options.

deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

4. Shares Subject to Plan

     (a) A maximum of 7,065,139 Shares shall be subject to grants of Options and awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan; provided that such maximum shall be increased or decreased as provided below in Section 12.

     (b) At any time and from time to time after the Plan takes effect, the Committee, pursuant to the provisions herein set forth, may grant Options and award Restricted Stock until the maximum number of Shares shall be exhausted or the Plan shall be sooner terminated; provided, however, that no Option shall be granted and no Restricted Stock shall be awarded after May 19, 2001.

     (c) Should any Option expire or be cancelled without being fully exercised, or should any Restricted Stock previously awarded be reacquired by the Company, the number of Shares with respect to which such Option shall not have been exercised prior to its expiration or cancellation and the number of Shares of such Restricted Stock so reacquired may again be optioned or awarded pursuant to the provisions hereof.

     (d) Any Shares withheld pursuant to subsection 18(c) shall not be available after such withholding for being optioned or awarded pursuant to the provisions hereof.

5. Eligibility

     Eligibility for the receipt of the grant of Options under the Plan shall be confined to (a) a limited number of persons who are employed by the Company, or one or more of its Affiliates and who are officers of or who, in the opinion of the Committee, hold other key positions in or for the Company or one or more of its Affiliates and (b) directors of the Company, including directors who are not employees of the Company or its Affiliates; provided that only employees of the Company or its Affiliates shall be eligible for the grant of Incentive Options. In addition, an individual who becomes a director of the Company, but who is not at the time he becomes a director also an employee of the Company, shall not be eligible for a grant of Options or an award of Restricted Stock, and shall not be eligible for the grant of an option, stock allocation, or stock appreciation right under any other plan of the Company or its affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Act) until the Board expressly declares such person eligible by resolution. In no event may an Option be granted to an individual who is not an employee of the Company or an Affiliate or a director of the Company.

6. Granting of Options

     (a) From time to time while the Plan is in effect, the Committee may in its absolute discretion, select from among the persons eligible to receive a grant of Options under the Plan (including persons who have already received such grants of Options) such one or more of them as in the opinion of the Committee should be granted Options. The Committee shall thereupon, likewise in its absolute discretion, determine the number of Shares to be allotted for option to each person so selected; provided, however, that the total number of Shares subject to Options granted to any one person, including directors of the Company, when aggregated with the number of Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to such person, shall not exceed 706,513 Shares.

     (b) Each person so selected shall be offered an Option to purchase the number of Shares so allotted to him, upon such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may specify. Each such person shall have a reasonable period of time, to be fixed by the

3

Committee, within which to accept or reject the proffered Option. Failure to accept within the period so fixed may be treated as a rejection.

     (c) Each person who accepts an Option offered to him shall enter into an Agreement with the Company, in such form as the Committee may prescribe, setting forth the terms and conditions of the Option, whereupon such person shall become a participant in the Plan. In the event an individual is granted both one or more Incentive Options and one or more Nonqualified Options, such grants shall be evidenced by separate Agreements, one each for the Incentive Option grants and one each for the Nonqualified Options grants. The date which the Committee specifies to be the grant date of an Option to an individual shall constitute the date on which the Option covered by such Agreement is granted; provided, however, that the grant date of an Incentive Option will be determined in accordance with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder and the grant date of a Nonqualified Option will be determined in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(vi)(B). In no event, however, shall an Optionee gain any rights in addition to those specified by the Committee in its grant, regardless of the time that may pass between the grant of the Option and the actual signing of the Agreement by the Company and the Optionee.

7. Option Price

     The option price for each Share covered by each Option shall not be less than the greater of (a) the par value of each such Share or (b) the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time such Option is granted. If the Company or an Affiliate agrees to substitute a new Option under the Plan for an old Option, or to assume an old Option, by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization, or liquidation (any of such events being referred to herein as a “Corporate Transaction”), the option price of the Shares covered by each such new Option or assumed Option may be other than the Fair Market Value of the stock at the time the Option is granted as determined by reference to a formula, established at the time of the Corporate Transaction, which will give effect to such substitution or assumption; provided, however, in no event shall —

     (a) the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Share subject to the Option immediately after the substitution or assumption over the aggregate option price of such Shares be more than the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Shares subject to the Option immediately prior to the substitution or assumption over the aggregate option price of such Shares

     (b) in the case of an Incentive Option, the new Option or the assumption of the old Option give the Optionee additional benefits which he would not have under the old Option; or

     (c) the ratio of the option price to the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option immediately after the substitution or assumption be more favorable to the Optionee than the ratio of the option price to the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the old Option immediately prior such substitution or assumption, on a Share by Share basis.

     Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of this Section 7 with respect to the Option price in the event of a Corporate Transaction shall, in case of an Incentive Option, be subject to the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code and the Treasury regulations and revenue rulings promulgated thereunder and shall, in the case of a Nonqualified Option, be applied in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 7 and the above cited statutes, regulations, and rulings, or in the event of an omission in this Section 7 of a provision required by said laws, the latter shall control in all respects and are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if set out at length.

4

8. Option Period

     (a) Each Option shall run for such period of time as the Committee may specify, but in no event for longer than ten (10) years from the date when the Option is granted, including the period of time provided in subsections (i) and (ii) of this subsection (a); and subject to such limits, and the further condition that, unless designated otherwise by the Committee, no Incentive Option shall become exercisable prior to one year from the date of its grant,

     (i) Except as provided below in this subsection (i) and in paragraph 8.(b) below, all rights to exercise an Option shall terminate within three months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of at least one of the employers in the group of employers consisting of the Company and its Affiliates, or after the date the Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company, whichever may occur later, for any reason other than death, except that, (x) in the case of a Nonqualified Option which is held by an Optionee who is, on the date of cessation referred to in this clause, an officer or director of the Company (within the meanings thereof under Section 16b) of the Act), all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate within seven months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an employee of at least one of the employers in the group of employers consisting of the Company and its Affiliates, or, if later, after the date the Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company, for any reason other than death; and, except that, (y) the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in new Option grants or amend outstanding Options to provide an extended period of time during which an Optionee can exercise a Nonqualified Option to the maximum permissible period for which such Optionee’s Option would have been exercisable in the absence of the Optionee’s ceasing to be an employee of the Company and its Affiliates or ceasing to be a director of the Company but only to the extent such extension does not result in a modification of the Option for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; and, except that (z) in case the employment of the Optionee is terminated for cause, the Option shall thereafter be null and void for all purposes.

     (ii) If the Optionee ceases to be employed by at least one of the employers in the group of employers consisting of the Company and its Affiliates, or ceases to be a director of the Company, whichever may occur later, by reason of his death, all rights to exercise such Option shall terminate fifteen (15) months thereafter.

     (iii) If Incentive Option is granted with a term shorter than ten (10) years, after considering the tax and other potential implications the Committee may extend the term of Incentive Option, but for not more than ten (10) years from the date when Incentive Option was originally granted.

     (b) Attached hereto are resolutions adopted by the Committee, relating to vesting and exercise, which shall apply only to Options granted prior to April 1, 2006.

9. Options Not Transferable

     No Option or interest therein shall be transferable by the person to whom it is granted otherwise than by will, the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or a domestic relations order (except with respect to an Incentive Option). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in the Agreement relating to the grant of an Option that the Optionee may transfer such Option, without consideration, to members of the Optionee’s immediate family or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such immediate family members or partnerships in which such immediate family members are the only partners. For purposes of this Section 9, “immediate family” shall mean the Optionee’s spouse, parents, children (including adopted children) and grandchildren.

     Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in each of those Agreements relating to the grant of an Option whose term will expire in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007 that a Director or Senior Management Optionee may transfer such Option to one or more Permitted Transferees with or without consideration to the Optionee provided that the following conditions are satisfied with respect to such transfer: (i) such transfer is made pursuant to the program that the Company has created to facilitate the reduction of its stock option overhang and is accomplished on or before March 5, 2000; (ii) the Permitted Transferee exercises the Option not more than 30 days following such transfer; (iii) all fees and expenses charged by accounting firms, law firms and all other third party consultants in connection with such transfer are paid by the Optionee, and such fees and expenses are not otherwise paid or reimbursed by the Company or any of its Affiliates; (iv) the Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms of the Agreement, except that once transferred by the Optionee to such Permitted Transferee, the Option may not be subsequently transferred except back to the Optionee; (v) if the consideration tendered by the Permitted Transferee for the Option is a term obligation, the principal amount under such term obligation will be due in full no later than the fifth anniversary of the Option’s expiration date; and (vi) the Permitted Transferee agrees to inform the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator upon (a) the sale or other transfer of the shares underlying the Option and (b) any other event or action taken by the Permitted Transferee with respect to the Option, the shares underlying the Option or the consideration for the Option, where such event or action will give rise to a recognizable event for the Company.

10. Exercise of Options

     (a) During the lifetime of an Optionee only he or his guardian or legal representative or transferee may exercise an Option granted to him. In the event of his death, any then exercisable portion of his Option may, within fifteen (15) months thereafter, or earlier date of termination of the Option, be exercised in whole or in part by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

     (b) At any time, and from time to time, during the period when any Option, or a portion thereof, is exercisable, such Option, or portion thereof, may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Committee may require any Option which is partially exercised to be so exercised with respect to at least a stated minimum number of Shares.

     (c) The option price of the Shares for which an Option is exercised must be paid prior to issuance of the Shares. Such purchase price shall be payable (i) in cash, certified or cashiers’ check, or wire transfer; (ii) at the option of the holder of such Option, in Stock theretofore owned by such holder by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, or through the withholding by the Company from the Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option of an appropriate number of Shares; (iii) by a combination of cash and such delivery of withholding of Stock; or (iv) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker satisfactory to the Company to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of determining the amount, if any, of the purchase price satisfied by payment in Stock, such Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Any Stock delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price shall be appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company. No holder of an Option shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been delivered by the Company to such holder or such holder’s interest in such Shares shall have been evidenced by an entry on the Company’s books and records.

     (d) No Shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made, and an Optionee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder until Shares are issued to him.

6

     (e) Nothing herein or in any Agreement executed or Option granted hereunder shall require the Company to issue any Shares upon exercise of an Option if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, or any other applicable statute or regulation, as then in effect. Upon the exercise of an Option or portion or part thereof, the Optionee shall give to the Company satisfactory evidence that he is acquiring such Shares for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to their distribution; provided, however, if or to the extent that the Shares subject to the Option shall be included in a registration statement filed by the Company, or one of its Affiliates, such investment representation shall be abrogated.

11. Delivery of Stock Certificates

     As promptly as may be practicable after an Option, or a portion or part thereof, has been exercised as hereinabove provided, the Company shall make delivery of one or more certificates for the appropriate number of Shares. In the event that an Optionee exercises both an Incentive Option, or a portion thereof, and a Nonqualified Option, or a portion thereof, separate stock certificates shall be issued, one for the Shares subject to the Incentive Option and one for the Shares subject to the Nonqualified Option.

12. Changes in Company’s Shares and Certain Corporate Transactions

     (a) In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding Shares of the Company, declaration of a dividend payable in Shares of the Company or other stock split, then (i) the maximum number of Shares then available for option or award as Restricted Stock under the Plan, (ii) the number of Shares of the Company covered by outstanding Options and awards of Restricted Stock, and (iii) the option price in respect of outstanding Options, and (iv) the total Options and shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded to any one person shall each be proportionately adjusted to reflect such transaction. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Corporation of any plan of exchange affecting Common Stock or any distribution to holders of Common Stock of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Common Stock), the Board shall make appropriate adjustments to (i) the maximum number of Shares then available for option or award as Restricted Stock under the Plan, (ii) the number of Shares of the Company covered by outstanding Options and awards of Restricted Stock, and (iii) the option price in respect of outstanding Incentive Options in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 and in respect of outstanding Nonqualified Options in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D), and (iv) the total Options and shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded to any one person to reflect such transaction; provided that such adjustments under (ii) and (iii) shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Options and awards of Restricted Stock and preserve, without increasing, the value of such Options and awards of Restricted Stock. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board shall be authorized (x) to assume under the Plan previously issued compensatory awards, or to substitute new Options for previously issued compensatory awards, including Options, as part of such adjustment or (y) to cancel Options and give the Participants who are the holders of such Options notice and opportunity to exercise for 30 days prior to such cancellation. Section 7 of the Plan shall not apply to any transaction covered in this Section 12(a).

     Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issue by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or option

7

price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Options granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities or preferred or preference stock which would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of the Company in another state) or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction), a transaction in which another corporation becomes the owner of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or a change in control (as specified below), shall cause every Option then outstanding to become exercisable in full, subject to the limitation on the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares that may become first exercisable during any calendar year set forth in Section 16, immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, to the extent not theretofore exercised, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of exercisability contained in the Agreements if (and only if) such Options have not at that time expired or been terminated. For purposes of this paragraph, a change in control shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) a third person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, becomes the beneficial owner of Shares of the Company having 50% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company; or (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, a contested election for directors, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event of any such dissolution, merger, consolidation, transaction, or change in control, the Board may completely satisfy all obligations of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to any Option outstanding on the date of such event by delivering to the Optionee cash in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate exercise price for Shares under the Option and the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, such payment to be made within a reasonable time after such event.

13. Effective Date

     The Plan shall be effective on May 20, 1987, the date of its adoption by the Board, but shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for ratification at the next regular or special meeting thereof to be held within twelve (12) months after the Board shall have adopted the Plan. If at such a meeting of the stockholders of the Company a quorum is present, the Plan shall be presented for ratification, and unless at such a meeting the Plan is ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding $0.25 par value common stock of the Company, then and in such event, the Plan and all Options granted under the Plan and all awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall become null and void and of no further force or effect.

14. Amendment, Suspension or Termination

     (a) Subject to the other terms and condition of this Plan and the limitations set forth in subsection 14(b) below, the Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided,

8

however, that after the stockholders have ratified the Plan, the Board may not, without approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the Plan so as to:

     (i) Increase the maximum number of Shares subject thereto, as specified above in Sections 4(a) and 12; or

     (ii) Increase the proportionate number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to Option by any one person or awarded as Restricted Stock to any one person, as specified above in Section 6(a) or below in Section 19(a).

     (b) Neither the Board nor the Committee may amend the Plan or any Agreement to reduce the option price of an outstanding Option or modify, impair or cancel any existing Option without the consent of the holder thereof.

15. Requirements of Law

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue Shares under any Option if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange; and as a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares under Option the Company may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Company may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation.

16. Incentive Stock Options

     The Committee, in its discretion, may designate any Option granted under the Plan as an Incentive Option intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Incentive Option shall be granted to any person who, at the time such Incentive Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate unless the purchase price under such Incentive Option is at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Incentive Option at the date of its grant and such Incentive Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of its grant, and (ii) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Incentive Option and the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of stock of any Affiliate (or a predecessor of the Company or an Affiliate) subject to any other incentive stock option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of the Company and its Affiliates (or a predecessor corporation of any such corporation), that may become first exercisable in any calendar year, shall not (with respect to any Optionee) exceed $100,000, determined as of the date the Incentive Option is granted. For purposes of this Section 16, “predecessor corporation” means a corporation that was a party to a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (or which would be so described if a substitution or assumption under such section had been effected) with the Company, or a corporation which, at the time the new incentive stock option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) is granted, is an Affiliate of the Company or a predecessor corporation of any such corporations.

17. Modification of Options

     Subject to the terms and conditions of and within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may, after considering tax and other potential implications, modify, extend or renew outstanding Options granted under the Plan but only to the extent such change does not result in a modification of the Option for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, or accept the surrender of Options outstanding hereunder (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Options hereunder in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17, no modification of an Option granted hereunder shall, without the consent of the Optionee,

9

alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted hereunder to such Optionee under the Plan, except as may be necessary, with respect to Incentive Options, to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

18. Agreement Provisions

     (a) Each Agreement shall contain such provisions (including, without limitation, restrictions or the removal of restrictions upon the exercise of the Option and the transfer of shares thereby acquired) as the Committee shall deem advisable. Each Agreement shall identify the Option evidenced thereby as an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option, as the case may be. Incentive Options and Nonqualified Options may not both be covered by a single Agreement. Each such Agreement relating to Incentive Options granted hereunder shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon the exercise of the Incentive Option as shall be necessary for the Incentive Option to which such Agreement related to constitute an incentive stock option, as defined in Section 422 of the Code.

     (b) The Plan shall be annexed to each Agreement and each Agreement shall recite that it is subject to the Plan and that the Plan shall govern where there is any inconsistency between the Plan and the Agreement.

     (c) Each Agreement shall contain an agreement and covenant by the Optionee, in such form as the Committee may require in its discretion, that he consents to and will take whatever affirmative actions are required, in the opinion of the Board or Committee, to enable the Company or appropriate Affiliate to satisfy its Federal income tax and FICA withholding obligations. An Agreement may contain such provisions as the Committee deems appropriate to enable the Company or its Affiliates to satisfy such withholding obligations, including provisions permitting the Company, on exercise of an Option, to withhold Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee exercising the Option to satisfy the applicable withholding obligations.

     (d) Each Agreement relating to an Incentive Option shall contain a covenant by the Optionee immediately to notify the Company in writing of any disqualifying disposition (within the meaning of section 421(b) of the Code) of an Incentive Option.

19. Restricted Stock

     (a) Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded by the Committee to such individuals as are eligible for grants of Options, as the Committee may determine at any time and from time to time before the termination of the Plan. The total number of Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to any one person, including directors of the Company, when aggregated with the number of Shares subject to Options in favor of such person, shall not exceed shall not exceed 706,513 Shares.

     (b) A Share of Restricted Stock is a Share that does not irrevocably vest in the holder or that may not be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the time of the award of the Restricted Stock have been satisfied. A Share of Restricted Stock shall be subject to a minimum three-year vesting period and shall contain such other restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, which may include, without limitation, the rendition of services to the Company or its Affiliates for a specified time or the achievement of specific goals. The Committee may, when it deems it appropriate, require the recipient of an award of Restricted Stock to enter into an agreement with the Company evidencing the understanding of the parties with respect to such award.

     If an individual receives Shares of Restricted Stock, whether or not escrowed as provided below, the individual shall be the record owner of such Shares and shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares (unless the escrow agreement, if any, specifically provides otherwise), including

10

the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares. Any certificate or certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear a legend similar to the following:

     The shares represented by this certificate have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Centex Corporation 1987 Stock Option Plan and may not be sold, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered in any manner except as set forth in the terms of such award dated                     , 19 .

     In order to enforce the restrictions, terms and conditions that may be applicable to an individual’s Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require the individual, upon the receipt of a certificate or certificates representing such Shares, or at any time thereafter, to deposit such certificate or certificates, together with stock powers and other instruments of transfer, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an escrow agent designated by the Company under an escrow agreement in such form as shall be determined by the Committee.

     After the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the time of an award of Restricted Stock to an individual, which award is not subject to a non-lapse feature, a new certificate, without the legend set forth above, for the number of Shares that are no longer subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions shall be delivered to the individual.

     If an individual to whom Restricted Stock has been awarded dies after satisfaction of the terms and conditions for the payment of all or a portion of the award but prior to the actual payment of all or such portion thereof, such payment shall be made to the individual’s beneficiary or beneficiaries at the time and in the same manner that such payment would have been made to the individual.

     The Committee may cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of such restrictions with respect to any or all of the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to an individual hereunder only upon the individual’s death, disability or retirement on or after the earlier of (i) age 65 or (ii) for Shares of Restricted Stock awarded prior to April 1, 2006, such time as the sum of the individual’s age and years of service equals 70, provided such individual is at least 55. With respect to the occurrence of any event specified in the last paragraph of Section 12, the restrictions, if any, applicable to any outstanding Shares awarded as Restricted Stock shall lapse immediately prior to the occurrence of the event.

     (c) Subject to the provisions of subsection 19(b) above, if an individual to whom Restricted Stock has been awarded ceases to be employed by at least one of the employers in the group of employers consisting of the Company and its Affiliates, or ceases to be a director of the Company, whichever may occur later, for any reason prior to the satisfaction of any terms and conditions of an award, any Restricted Stock remaining subject to restrictions shall thereupon be forfeited by the individual and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company or an Affiliate at no cost to the Company or the Affiliate. In such event, the individual, or in the event of his death, his personal representative, shall forthwith deliver to the Secretary of the Company the certificates for the Shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject to such restrictions, accompanied by such instruments of transfer, if any, as may reasonably be required by the Secretary of the Company.

     (d) In case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in such shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Committee may provide that payment of Restricted Stock shall take the form of the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities

11

(including those of any new direct or indirect parent of the Company), property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger.

20. General

     (a) The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options shall be used for general corporate purposes.

     (b) Nothing contained in the Plan, or in any Agreement, shall confer upon any Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his employment at any time.

     (c) Neither the members of the Board nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any act, omission, or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option or Restricted Stock granted under it; and the members of the Board and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including counsel fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and under any directors and officers liability or similar insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time.

     (d) As partial consideration for the granting of each Option or award of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Optionee or recipient shall agree with the Company that he will keep confidential all information and knowledge which he has relating to the manner and amount of his participation in the Plan; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law or given in confidence to the individual’s spouse, tax or financial advisors, or to a financial institution to the extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan. In the event any breach of this promise comes to the attention of the Committee, it shall take into consideration such breach, in determining whether to grant any future Option or award any future Restricted Stock to such individual, as a factor militating against the advisability of granting any such future Option or awarding any such future Restricted Stock to such individual.

     (e) Participation in the Plan shall not preclude an individual from eligibility in any other stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate or any old age benefit, insurance, pension, profit sharing, retirement, bonus, or other extra compensation plans which the Company or any Affiliate has adopted, or may, at any time, adopt for the benefit of its employees or directors.

     (f) Any payment of cash or any issuance or transfer of Shares to the Optionee, or to his legal representative, heir, legatee, or distributee, in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such persons hereunder. The Board or Committee may require any Optionee, legal representative, heir, legatee, or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.

     (g) Neither the Committee nor the Board nor the Company guarantees the Shares from loss or depreciation.

     (h) All expenses incident to the administration, termination, or protection of the Plan, including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, shall be paid by the Company or its Affiliates.

     (i) Records of the Company and its Affiliates regarding an individual’s period of employment, termination of employment and the reason therefor, leaves of absence, re-employment, tenure as a director and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Board or Committee to be incorrect.

12

     (j) The Company and its Affiliates shall, upon request or as may be specifically required hereunder, furnish or cause to be furnished, all of the information or documentation which is necessary or required by the Board or Committee to perform its duties and functions under the Plan.

     (k) The Company assumes no obligation or responsibility to an Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock or his personal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees for any act of, or failure to act on the part of, the Board or Committee.

     (l) Any action required of the Company shall be by resolution of its Board or by a person authorized to act by resolution of the Board. Any action required of the Committee shall be by resolution of the Committee or by a person authorized to act by resolution of the Committee.

     (m) If any provision of this Plan or any Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan or the Agreement, as the case may be, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan or the Agreement, as the case may be, shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein or therein.

     (n) Whenever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by mail. Any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered on the date on which it is personally delivered, or, whether actually received or not, on the third business day after it is deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the person who is to receive it at the address which such person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. The Company, an Optionee or a recipient of Restricted Stock may change, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the other, the address which it or he had theretofore specified for receiving notices. Until changed in accordance herewith, the Company and each Optionee and recipient of Restricted Stock shall specify as its and his address for receiving notices the address set forth in the Agreement pertaining to the shares of Stock to which such notice relates.

     (o) Any person entitled to notice hereunder may waive such notice.

     (p) The Plan shall be binding upon the Optionee or recipient of Restricted Stock, his heirs, legatees, and legal representatives, upon the Company, its successors, and assigns, and upon the Board and Committee, and their successors.

     (q) The titles and headings of Sections and paragraphs are included for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof.

     (r) All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Nevada except to the extent Nevada law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Shares.

     (s) Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of this Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.

21. Withholding Taxes

     Federal, state, or local law may require the withholding of taxes applicable to gains resulting from the exercise of Nonqualified Options granted hereunder. Unless otherwise prohibited by the Committee, each participant may satisfy any such withholding tax obligation by electing (i) to tender a cash payment

13

to the Company, (ii) to authorize the Company to withhold from the shares of stock of the Company otherwise issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise of the Nonqualified Option a number of shares having a fair market value, as of the date the withholding tax obligation arises, equal to the withholding obligations, or, at the election of the participant, up to the maximum of taxes due (the “Share Withholding Alternative”), (iii) to deliver to the Company previously acquired shares of common stock of the Company having a fair market value, as of the date the withholding tax obligation arises, equal to the amount to be withheld, or at the election of the participant, up to the maximum of taxes due, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing, provided the combination permits the payment of all withholding taxes attributable to the exercise of the Nonqualified Option. A Participant’s election to pay the withholding tax obligation must be made in writing delivered to the Company before the time of exercise, or simultaneously with the exercise, of such Participant’s Nonqualified Option. A valid and binding written election of the Share Withholding Alternative shall be irrevocable. A participant’s failure to elect a withholding alternative prior to the time such election is required to be made shall be deemed to be an election to pay the withholding tax by tendering a cash payment to the Company. For purposes of this Section 21, the fair market value of the shares used to pay withholding taxes is the mean between the highest and lowest price quoted on the New York Stock Exchange for one share of common stock of the Company on the Tax Date. Also, as used in this Section 21, “Tax Date” shall mean the date on which a withholding tax obligation arises in connection with an exercise of a nonqualified stock option, which date shall be presumed to be the date of exercise, unless shares subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (as defined in section 83(c)(1) or (c)(3) of the Code) are issuable on exercise of the option and the participant does not make a timely election under section 83(b) of the Code with respect thereto, in which case the Tax Date for such shares is the date on which the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. Fractional shares remaining after payment of the withholding taxes shall be paid to the participant in cash.

14

Resolution related to stock options adopted by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Centex Corporation on May 13, 2004.

     RESOLVED, that all non-qualified options held by Full Time Employees to acquire common stock of Centex Corporation awarded under any of the stock plans listed below, whether awarded before or after May 13, 2004, shall be subject to the following from and after May 13, 2004:

1.	If an optionee shall voluntarily terminate employment and at such time he or she is age 55 or older, has at least 10 Years of Service and the sum of age and Years of Service equals at least 70, then all non-qualified options held by him or her shall immediately vest upon the termination of employment (“Vested Retirement”).
2.	All rights to exercise such vested options will terminate 12 months following the date of such Vested Retirement. However, to the extent that an option agreement provides a longer time to exercise following voluntary termination of employment, then such agreement will control.
3.	As used herein: “Full Time Employee” means a person actively and regularly engaged in work at least 40 hours a week; and “Years of Service” means an optionee’s years of employment with Centex Corporation or any of its Affiliates. An optionee shall be credited with a Year of Service on each anniversary of the date on which he or she was first employed by Centex Corporation or its Affiliate, provided that the optionee continues to be employed by such employer on such anniversary date.
4.	The stock plans covered are:

• Centex Corporation Amended and Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan

• Seventh Amended and Restated 1998 Centex Corporation Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

• Amended and Restated Centex Corporation 2001 Stock Plan

• Amended and Restated Centex Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of the Corporation are hereby directed to take all steps that they deem necessary or appropriate to communicate the substance of the foregoing resolution to option holders who are affected and, where they deem necessary, to document the substance of this resolution by way of amendments to the stock plans and to existing option agreements.

Exhibit 10.6

CENTEX CORPORATION LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

1. Objectives

     The Centex Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to retain selected employees of Centex Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and affiliates of Centex Corporation with regard to which Centex Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the ownership interest therein, and reward them for making significant contributions to the success of Centex Corporation. These objectives are to be accomplished by making awards under the Plan and thereby providing participants with a financial interest in the growth and performance of Centex Corporation. The Plan shall not constitute a “qualified plan” subject to the limitations of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, nor shall it constitute a “funded plan” for purposes of such requirements. This Plan shall be exempt from the participation and vesting requirements of Part 2 of Title I of ERISA, the funding requirements of Part 3 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the fiduciary requirements of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA by reason of the exclusions afforded to plans which are unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of highly compensated employees.

     The Plan and Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with those intentions. Any provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, Grandfathered Awards shall not be governed by the provisions of this amended and restated Plan but instead shall continue to be governed by the provisions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2007.

     “Separation from Service” means a termination of services provided by a Participant to his or her Employer (as defined below), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).  In determining whether a Participant has incurred a Separation from Service, the following provisions shall apply:

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this definition, a Separation from Service will occur when the Participant has experienced a termination of employment with the Employer.  A Participant will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the Participant and his or her Employer reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services will be performed for the Employer after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Employer after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 33¹/₃% of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Participant (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months).

       If a Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Employer will be treated as continuing, provided that the period of the leave of absence does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the Participant has a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract.  If the period of a military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 months and the Participant does not have a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be considered to be terminated for purposes of this Plan as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6-month period.  In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a

4

leave of absence will be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Employer.

     (b) For a Participant who provides services to an Employer as both an employee and an independent contractor, a Separation from Service generally will not occur until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer both as an employee and as an independent contractor as determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this definition, respectively. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the case of an independent contractor a Separation from Service will occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed for the Employer, provided that the expiration of such contract or contracts is determined by Centex Corporation to constitute a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the Participant and the Employer.  If a Participant ceases providing services for an Employer as an employee and begins providing services for such Employer as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer in both capacities, as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this definition.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph, if a Participant provides services for an Employer as both an employee and as a member of the board of directors of an Employer, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(5), the services provided by the Participant as a director will not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee.

     (c) In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this definition, where as part of a sale or other disposition of substantial assets by an Employer to an unrelated buyer, a participant would otherwise experience a Separation from Service as defined above, the Employer and the buyer shall retain the discretion to specify, and may specify, that a participant performing services for an Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction shall not experience a Separation from Service for purposes of this Plan and the participant shall be bound by same, provided that such transaction and the specification meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

     (d) For purposes of this definition, “Employer” means:

     (i) The entity for whom the Participant performs services and with respect to which the legally binding right to an Award or Payout under an Award arises; and

     (ii) All other entities with which the entity described in subparagraph (d)(i) of this definition would be aggregated and treated as a single employer under Code Section 414(b) (controlled group of corporations) and Code Section 414(c) (group of trades or businesses under common control), as applicable. To identify the

5

group of entities described in the preceding sentence, an ownership threshold of 50% shall be used as a substitute for the 80% minimum ownership threshold that appears in, and otherwise must be used when applying, the applicable provisions of (A) Code Section 1563 and the regulations thereunder for determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (B) Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for determining the trades or businesses that are under common control under Code Section 414(c).

     “Specified Employee” means any Participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined by Centex Corporation in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(i).

     “Termination Date” means the last date on which the Participant is carried on a Company’s payroll as an employee.

     “Vested Retirement” means the voluntary termination by a Participant who is a Full Time Employee of all Employment at any time after the Participant is age 55 or older, completes at least 10 Years of Service and the sum of age and Years of Service with one or more Companies equals at least 70. In no event will the Plan’s Vested Retirement provisions apply to Awards made on or after April 1, 2006.

     “Years of Service” means the Participant’s years of employment with a Company. A Participant shall be credited with a Year of Service on each anniversary of the date on which he or she was first employed with a Company, provided that the Participant continues to be employed by a Company on such anniversary date.

3. Eligibility

     Only highly compensated employees of a Company are eligible for Awards under this Plan, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Administrator shall select the Participants in the Plan from time to time as evidenced by the grant of Awards under the Plan.

4. Plan Administration

     The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which shall have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall determine all terms and conditions of the Awards. The Administrator may, in its discretion, after considering tax and other potential legal implications, accelerate the vesting or Payout of an Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions contained in an Award Agreement, waive any restriction or other provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement or otherwise amend or modify an Award in any manner that is either (i) not materially adverse to the Participant holding the Award or (ii) consented to by such Participant; provided, however, that the Payout Date for an Award may be deferred only as provided in paragraph 8(b) of this Plan. The Administrator may delegate to one or more employees of Centex Corporation the performance of non-discretionary functions under this Plan, including distributions of Payouts.

6

5. Awards

     (a) The granting of Awards under this Plan shall be entirely discretionary, and nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give any employee of a Company any right to participate in this Plan or to be granted an Award.

     (b) Awards shall be granted to Participants at such times, and subject to paragraph 5(d) below, in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. No credit for cash dividends on Deferred Stock will be allowed (or accrued) prior to Payout.

     (c) The term of an Award shall run from the Grant Date to the Payout Date as described in Section 8 below or forfeiture as described in Section 7 below.

     (d) The maximum number of Shares that may be awarded under this Plan, subject to Section 13 below, is 1,110,995. As of March 31, 2006 a total of 123,379 shares were available to be awarded.

     (e) If an Award is forfeited, the number of Shares with respect to which such Award shall not have been exercised prior to its forfeiture may again be awarded pursuant to the provisions hereof.

6. Vesting of Awards

     (a) Unless different terms are set by the Administrator, an Award shall be immediately 25% vested on its Grant Date and shall become vested in cumulative 25% increments on each of the first through third anniversaries of such Grant Date, so that on the third anniversary of the Grant Date the Award will be 100% vested; provided, however, that the Participant must be in continuous Employment from the Grant Date through the date of the applicable anniversary in order for the Award to vest.

     (b) A Participant’s Award shall be fully vested, irrespective of the limitations set forth in subparagraph (a) above, in the event of (i) a Change in Control, as provided for in Section 13 below, provided that the Participant has been in continuous Employment from the Grant Date until the date of such Change in Control or (ii) for Awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, Vested Retirement of the Participant.

7. Forfeiture of Awards

     If a Participant’s Employment is terminated other than through Vested Retirement with respect to Awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, the Participant shall forfeit his or her Award(s) with respect to any portion that is not vested as of such Participant’s Termination Date.

8. Payouts of Awards

     (a) Automatic Payout on Vesting Dates. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(b) or an Award Agreement, the Payout Date for an Award will be the date on which the payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Code Section 409A;

7

provided, however, that Payout may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of Payout.

     (b) Deferred Payout. With the approval of the Administrator, the Payout Date for an Award may be deferred and Payout may be made in the form of a lump-sum payment. The Administrator may permit selected Participants to elect to defer the Payout Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8(b) and such other procedures as may be established by the Administrator. The Administrator also may specify in an Award Agreement or the terms of the Award that the Payout Date for an Award will be deferred. Any Award with a deferred Payout Date, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the Award Agreement or the terms of the Award, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the Award Agreement or the terms of the Award so provide. Any such deferral will be made in accordance with the following:

     (i) Initial Deferral Elections by Participants. Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph (b), the Participant must make a written, irrevocable election as to deferral of the Payout Date for the Award and the time and form of the Payout on or before the deadline established by the Administrator, which shall be no later than:

     (A) December 31^st of the calendar year preceding the calendar year during which the Participant will commence performing the services giving rise to the Award subject to the deferral election; or

     (B) for the first year in which the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, 30 days after the date the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, provided that such an election will only be effective with respect to the portion of the Award related to services performed after the election.

     (ii) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Performance-Based Compensation. In the event that the Administrator determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to an Award that is Performance-Based Compensation (as defined below), an eligible Participant may make a written, irrevocable election as to deferral of the Payout Date for the Award and the time and form of the Payout on or before the deadline established by the Administrator, which shall not be later than 6 months before the end of the performance period.

     For purposes of this subparagraph, “Performance-Based Compensation” means an Award, the amount of which, or the entitlement to which, is contingent on the satisfaction of preestablished organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(e).  Performance criteria are considered preestablished if established in writing by not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the criteria relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the criteria are established.

8

     For a Participant to be eligible to make a deferral election in accordance with this subparagraph (ii), the Participant must have performed services continuously from the later of (A) the beginning of the performance period for the Performance-Based Compensation or (B) the date upon which the performance criteria with respect to the Performance-Based Compensation are established, through the date on which the Participant makes the deferral election.  In addition, in no event may a deferral election under this subparagraph be made after the Performance-Based Compensation has become readily ascertainable within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(8).

     (iii) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Fiscal Year Compensation. In the event that the Administrator determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to an Award that is Fiscal Year Compensation (as defined below), the Participant may make a written, irrevocable election as to the deferral of the Payout Date for the Award and the time and form of the Payout on or before the deadline established by the Administrator, which shall not be later than the close of the Employer’s fiscal year immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are performed for which the Award is payable.  For purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the term “Fiscal Year Compensation” means an Award relating to a period of service coextensive with one or more consecutive fiscal years of a Company, of which no amount is paid or payable during the fiscal year(s) constituting the period of service.

     (iv) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Short-Term Deferrals. If a Participant has a legally binding right to an Award under the Plan or a Payout under an Award in a subsequent calendar year that, absent a deferral election, would be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the Administrator determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to the Award, the Participant may make a written, irrevocable election to defer the Payout Date for the Award in accordance with the requirements of subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph 8(b), applied as if the Award provided for a deferral of compensation and the scheduled Payout Date or Dates were the date(s) the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. The Administrator may provide in the deferral election that the deferred Payout Date will be payable upon a Change in Control without regard to the five-year additional deferral requirement in subparagraph (vii) of this Section 8(b).

     (v) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Compensation Subject to a Risk of Forfeiture. If a Participant has a legally binding right to an Award under the Plan or Payout under an Award in a subsequent year and Payout of or under the Award is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant’s continued services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right, the Administrator may permit the Participant to make a written, irrevocable election to defer the Payout Date no later than the 30^th day after the Participant obtains the legally binding right, provided that the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse, as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(5). For purposes of this subparagraph, a condition will not be treated as failing to require the Participant to continue to provide services for a period of at least 12 months from

9

the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right merely because the condition immediately lapses upon Disability or death of the Participant or upon a Change in Control. However, if the Participant’s Disability or death or a Change in Control event occurs before the end of such 12-month period, a deferral election under this subparagraph will be effective only if it would be permissible under another subparagraph of this Section 8(b).

     (vi) Deferrals by Administrator. If an Award is made that provides for the deferral of compensation for services performed during a Participant’s taxable year and the Participant is not given an opportunity to elect the time or form of Payout of such Award, the Administrator must designate the Payout Date and the form of Payout no later than the time the Participant first has a legally binding right to the Award or, if later, the time the Participant would be required under this Section 8(b) to make such an election if the Participant were provided such an election.

     (vii) Subsequent Participant Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(b), with approval of the Administrator, a Participant may elect to further delay the Payout Date for an Award or change the form of Payout if:

     (A) the election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

     (B) for any Payout not made on account of death or Disability, the Payout Date is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date Payout would otherwise have been paid and not later than the Expiration Date; and

     (C) any election related to a Payout to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule must be made not less than 12 months before the Payout Date is scheduled to occur.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may permit Participants to make new payment elections on or before December 31, 2008, with respect to the time and/or form of payment in respect of an Award, provided that the election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in year the election is made and does not cause an amount to be paid in the year the election is made that would not otherwise be payable in that year.

     (viii) Acceleration of Payout. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, an Award Agreement or a deferral election to the contrary, the Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate Payout of an Award in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv).

     (ix) Delay of Payout. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, an Award Agreement or a deferral election to the contrary, Payout of an Award may be delayed by the Administrator under the circumstances described in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(7), provided that the Administrator treats all Payouts to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

10

     (c) Permissible Payment Events/Times. The Administrator may specify any one or more of the following as an event upon or a time at which the Payout Date for the vested portion of an Award may occur pursuant to a deferral election under Section 8(b): (i) Separation from Service, (ii) Disability, (iii) death, (iv) a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, or (v) a Change in Control. The Administrator may provide for a Payout Date upon the earliest or latest of more than one such event or time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payout Date may not occur later than the Expiration Date.

9. Time and Form of Payout

     As soon as practicable following a determination that Payout of a Participant’s Award shall be made as described in Section 8, but not later than five business days after the required Payout Date, Centex Corporation shall make a Payout to the Participant; provided, however, that Payout may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of Payout. Payouts shall be made in Shares except that no fractional shares will be issued and in lieu thereof cash will be paid to the Participant.

     Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Award provides for a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A and the Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of his or her Separation from Service, no Payout on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service may be made with respect to such Participant before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period, the date of the Participant’s death). In such case, any Payout that would be made within such six-month period will be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the earliest business day that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

10. Delivery of Share Certificates

     As promptly as may be administratively practicable following a Payout, Centex Corporation shall make delivery of one or more Share certificates, and, at the election of the Participant, either by delivery of a physical certificate or an electronic transfer to a broker, for the appropriate number of Shares.

11. Tax Withholding

     Centex Corporation shall deduct applicable taxes with respect to any Award or Payout and withhold, at the time of vesting, Award or Payout, as appropriate, a number of Shares, based on the Fair Market Value on such date, for payment of taxes required by law.

12. Non-Assignability

     Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no Award or Payout or any other benefit under this Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except to a Beneficiary or by will, the laws of descent and distribution or a domestic relations order. The Administrator may prescribe

11

other restrictions on transfer. Any attempted assignment of an Award or any other benefit under this Plan in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void.

13. Changes in Shares and Certain Corporate Transactions

     (a) In the event of any subdivision or consolidation of outstanding Shares, declaration of a dividend payable in Shares or other stock split, then (i) the number of Shares available for Awards under this Plan, and (ii) the number of Shares covered by outstanding Awards, shall each be proportionately adjusted by the Board as appropriate to reflect such transaction. In the event of any other recapitalization or capital reorganization of the Centex Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Centex Corporation with another corporation or entity, the adoption by the Centex Corporation of any plan of exchange affecting Shares or any distribution to holders of Shares of securities or property (other than normal cash dividends or dividends payable in Shares), the Board shall make appropriate adjustments to (i) the number of Shares available for Awards under this Plan, and (ii) the number of Shares covered by outstanding Deferred Awards, to reflect such transaction; provided that such adjustment under (ii) shall only be such as are necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the holders of the Awards and preserve, without increasing, the value of such Awards.

     Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by Centex Corporation of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of Centex Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares then subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan. Furthermore, the presence of outstanding Awards granted under the Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of Centex Corporation to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in Centex Corporation’s capital structure or its business, including the issuance of capital stock; (ii) any merger or consolidation of Centex Corporation; (iii) any issuance by Centex Corporation of debt securities or preferred or preference stock which would rank above the Shares subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of Centex Corporation; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of Centex Corporation; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a dissolution or liquidation of Centex Corporation, a merger (other than a merger effecting a reincorporation of Centex Corporation in another state) or consolidation in which Centex Corporation is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a transaction in which the stockholders of the parent of Centex Corporation and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the stockholders of Centex Corporation and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction), a transaction in which another corporation becomes the owner of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Centex Corporation, or a Change in Control shall cause every Award then outstanding to become fully vested immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation,

merger, consolidation, transaction, or Change in Control event, without regard to the determination as to the periods and installments of vesting contained in the Agreements if (and only if) such Awards have not at that time expired or been terminated. Payout of Awards that vest under this Section 13(b) shall be made in accordance with Sections 8 and 9 of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event of such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, transaction, or Change in Control, the Board may completely satisfy all obligations of Centex Corporation and its Affiliates with respect to any Award that is not subject to Code Section 409A and outstanding on the date of such event by delivering to the Participant cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such event, such payment to be made within a reasonable time but no later than 60 days after such event; provided, however, that this sentence shall apply only if a Payout Date occurs upon a Change in Control with respect to a Participant in accordance with Section 8.

14. Plan Year

     The Plan, as amended and restated, shall be effective as of October 1, 2001 and will continue in effect until the Administrator terminates the same. The Plan year will be April 1 through March 31 while this Plan is in effect.

15. Requirements of Law

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Centex Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares under any Award if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by the Participant or Centex Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange; and as a condition of any issuance of Shares under any Award, Centex Corporation may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as Centex Corporation may deem necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with any such law or regulation.

16. Amendment, Suspension or Termination

     The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law, except that no amendment, suspension or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of any Participant as to a vested Award previously granted to such Participant without his or her written consent.

17. Unfunded Plan

     This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants representing Awards, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. Centex Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall Centex Corporation, the Board or the Administrator (or any delegate thereof) be deemed to be a trustee of any Awards to be granted under this Plan. Any liability or obligation of Centex Corporation to any Participant with respect to a grant of Awards under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created under this Plan, and no such

13

liability or obligation of Centex Corporation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of Centex Corporation. None of Centex Corporation or any other Company, the Board or the Administrator (or any delegate thereof) shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Company whose employees are Participants with respect to whom a Payout Date does not occur as a result of the Change in Control with respect to any outstanding Awards shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than 15 days following the Change in Control, make an irrevocable contribution to a trust established by Centex Corporation in an amount sufficient to fully pay the entire benefit to which each such Participant employed by such Company would be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Plan as of the date on which such Change in Control occurs. In its sole discretion, Centex Corporation may establish such a trust at any time prior to a Change in Control and may make contributions to such trust in Shares or in cash which would be used to acquire Shares to transfer to such Participant. Any such trust shall be designed to assist Centex Corporation in satisfying its obligations under this Plan; but it shall remain subject to the claims of its creditors.

18. No Employment Guaranteed

     No provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement hereunder shall confer any right upon any employee to continued employment with a Company.

19. No Stockholder Rights

     A Participant shall have no rights as a holder of Shares with respect to Awards granted hereunder. In particular, no Award shall entitle a Participant to be considered a holder of Shares or to have any rights to dividends or other distributions made to holders of Shares prior to the Payout of such Award.

20. Governing Law

     This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Act or other securities laws of the United States, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to any conflicts of law principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

21. Indemnification

     Neither the members of the Board, any member of the Compensation and Management Development Committee, acting in the capacity of Administrator, nor any delegates of the Administrator, shall be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under it, and the members of the Board and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (or its delegate) shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by Centex Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including

14

counsel fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and under any directors and officers liability or similar insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time.

22. Release

     Any issuance or transfer of Shares to a Participant or to his legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such persons hereunder. The Board or Administrator may require any Participant or legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.

CENTEX CORPORATION

Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008

ARTICLE I.

NATURE OF PLAN

     Centex Corporation (the “Company”) established the Centex Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) effective January 1, 2000, for the benefit of certain of its Employees. The purpose of the Plan is to provide supplemental retirement income and to permit Eligible Employees the option to defer receipt of Compensation.

     The Plan was amended and restated, effective January 1, 2003, to make certain changes. Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan is amended and restated to document that the portion of the Plan applicable to amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005 has been segregated from the portion of the Plan applicable to amounts deferred or vested after December 31, 2004, to make certain changes designed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations thereunder with respect to amounts deferred or vested after December 31, 2004, and to make certain other changes.

     The Plan is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees under sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

     The portion of each Participant’s Account under the Plan as of December 31, 2004 that was earned and vested as of that date shall be segregated into a separate account under the Plan to be known as the Grandfathered Account. The Grandfathered Account will be adjusted for any earnings or losses on amounts credited to such account. The Grandfathered Accounts shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2007 (the “Superseded Plan”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Grandfathered Accounts shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of this amended and restated Plan, as provided below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, Centex Corporation hereby authorizes the amendment and restatement of the Plan, effective as of January 1, 2008, to read as follows:

          “Separation from Service” means a termination of services provided by a Participant to his or her Employer (as defined below), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, as determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).  In determining whether a Participant has incurred a Separation from Service, the following provisions shall apply:

          (1) Except as otherwise provided in this definition, a Separation from Service will occur when the Participant has experienced a termination of employment with the Employer.  A Participant will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the Participant and his or her Employer reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services will be performed for the Employer after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Employer after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 33¹/₃ percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Participant (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months).

5

            If a Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Employer will be treated as continuing, provided that the period of the leave of absence does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the Participant has a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract.  If the period of a military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 months and the Participant does not have a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be considered to be terminated for purposes of this Plan as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6-month period.  In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a leave of absence will be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Employer.

            (2) For a Participant who provides services to an Employer both as an employee and as an independent contractor, a Separation from Service generally will not occur until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer as both as an employee and as an independent contractor. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the case of an independent contractor a Separation from Service will occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed for the Employer, provided that the expiration of such contract or contracts is determined by the Company to constitute a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the Participant and the Employer.  If a Participant ceases providing services for an Employer as an employee and begins providing services for such Employer as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer in both capacities, as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this definition.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph, if a Participant provides services for an Employer both as an employee and as a member of the board of directors of an Employer, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(5), the services provided by the Participant as a director will not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee.

          (3) In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this definition, where as part of a sale or other disposition of substantial assets by an Employer to an unrelated buyer, a Participant would otherwise experience a Separation from Service as defined above, the Employer and the buyer shall retain the discretion to specify, and may specify, that a Participant performing services for an Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction shall not experience a Separation from Service for purposes of this Plan and the Participant shall be bound by same, provided that such transaction and the specification meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

6

          (4) For purposes of this definition, “Employer” means:

               (a) The entity for whom the Participant performs services and with respect to which the legally binding right to a benefit under this Plan arises; and

               (b) All other entities with which the entity described in subparagraph (4)(a) of this definition would be aggregated and treated as a single employer under Code Section 414(b) (controlled group of corporations) and Code Section 414(c) (group of trades or businesses under common control), as applicable. To identify the group of entities described in the preceding sentence, an ownership threshold of 50% shall be used as a substitute for the 80% minimum ownership threshold that appears in, and otherwise must be used when applying, the applicable provisions of (i) Code Section 1563 and the regulations thereunder for determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (ii) Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for determining the trades or businesses that are under common control under Code Section 414(c).

          “Specified Employee” means any Participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined by the Company in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(i).

          “Trust” means a trust fund established pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

          “Trustee” means the corporation or individuals named in the agreement establishing a Trust and such successor and/or additional trustees as may be named in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

          “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof), (ii) a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) such other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Committee.

          “Valuation Date” means the last day of the Plan Year and such other date(s) as designated by the Company.

          “Years of Service” means the Participant’s years of employment with an Employer. A Participant shall be credited with a Year of Service on each anniversary of the date on which he was first employed with an Employer, provided that the Participant continues to be employed by an Employer on such anniversary date.

     2.2 Word Usage. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereinafter” and other conjunctive uses of the word “here” shall be construed as reference to another portion of this Plan document. The terms “Section” or “Article” when used as a cross-reference shall refer to other Sections or

7

Articles contained in the Plan and not to another instrument, document or publication unless specifically stated otherwise.

ARTICLE III.

     3.2 Resumption of Participation Following Re-employment. If a Participant experiences a Separation from Service and thereafter returns to the employ of the Employer he will again become a Participant as of an Entry Date following his date of reemployment, provided he is again designated as an Eligible Employee and has executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1.

     3.3 Change in Employment Status. If any Participant has not experienced a Separation from Service but he ceases to be an Eligible Employee, the individual shall continue to be a Participant until the entire amount of his Account is distributed; provided, however, the individual shall not be entitled to execute a Deferred Compensation Agreement during the period that he is not an Eligible Employee and thus shall not be permitted to make deferrals of Compensation to the Plan on and after the end of the Plan Year (or performance period) in which he ceases to be an Eligible Employee.

ARTICLE IV.

CONTRIBUTIONS

     4.1 Election by Participant to Defer Compensation. Except as provided in Section 4.1(b)(i)(B) with respect to Fiscal Year Compensation and in Section 4.1(b)(i)(C) with respect to Performance-Based Compensation, an Eligible Employee may elect to defer the receipt of a portion of his cash Compensation for a Plan Year, not to exceed 75% of such Compensation, by executing a Deferred Compensation Agreement during the Election Period for such Plan Year. Such elections shall be made separately with respect to Base Salary, Bonus and Commissions, subject to the following:

          (a) Base Salary. An Eligible Employee may elect during the Election Period for such Plan Year either to defer a whole percentage of Base Salary or to specify a dollar

8

          (b) Bonus and Commissions.

               (i) Bonus.

                    (A) An Eligible Employee may elect during the Election Period for such Plan Year to (i) defer a whole percentage of any Bonus that is to begin to be earned in such Plan Year or (ii) to specify a dollar amount to be deferred from any Bonus that is to begin to be earned in such Plan Year.

                    (B) In the event that the Administrative Committee determines that a Deferred Compensation Agreement may be may be executed with respect to a Bonus that is Fiscal Year Compensation, an Eligible Employee may make a written, irrevocable election as to the deferral of a whole percentage or dollar amount of such Bonus, not to exceed 75% of such Bonus, on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall not be later than the close of the Employer’s fiscal year immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are performed for which the Bonus is payable.

                    (C) Notwithstanding subsections (b)(ii)(A) and (B), if the Administrative Committee determines that a Deferred Compensation Agreement may be executed with respect to a Bonus that is Performance-Based Compensation, an Eligible Employee may make a written, irrevocable election as to the deferral of a whole percentage or dollar amount of such Bonus, not to exceed 75% of such Bonus, on or before the deadline established by the Administrative Committee, which shall not be later than six months before the end of the performance period. For an Eligible Employee to be eligible to execute a Deferred Compensation Agreement in accordance with this subsection, the Eligible Employee must have performed services continuously from the later of (1) the beginning of the performance period for the Performance-Based Compensation or (2) the date upon which the performance criteria with respect to the Performance-Based Compensation are established, through the effective date of the Deferred Compensation Agreement.  In addition, in no event may an Eligible Employee execute a Deferred Compensation Agreement under this subsection after the Performance-Based Compensation has become readily ascertainable within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(8).

               (ii) Commissions. An Eligible Employee may elect during the Election Period for a Plan Year to defer a whole percentage or dollar amount of Commissions to be paid during each pay period in such Plan Year; provided, however, that Commissions shall be eligible for deferral only to the extent customers’ payments giving rise to the Commissions are remitted to an Employer during such Plan Year.

9

If an Eligible Employee elects a specific dollar amount to be deferred each pay period from Base Salary or Commissions and/or to be deferred from Bonus and such dollar amount is greater than 75% of such Base Salary or Commission amounts for that pay period or of such Bonus amounts, the Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected to defer 75% of such Base Salary, Commission or Bonus amounts.

          (c) Effectiveness of Deferred Compensation Agreement. The Deferred Compensation Agreement shall become effective on the Entry Date following the Election Period during which the agreement is executed, or with respect to a Mid-Year Eligible Employee who executes a Deferred Compensation Agreement during a 30-day initial Election Period, the first day after such initial Election Period and only with respect to Compensation to be earned beginning on the first day after such initial Election Period as provided in Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-2(a)(7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Deferred Compensation Agreement with respect to (i) Fiscal Year Compensation shall become effective as of the first day of the fiscal year related to the Fiscal Year Compensation and (ii) Performance-Based Compensation shall become effective as of the first day of the performance period for the Performance-Based Compensation. A Deferred Compensation Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall continue in effect throughout such Plan Year (or fiscal year or years, as applicable, with respect to Fiscal Year Compensation or performance period with respect to Performance-Based Compensation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a separate Deferred Compensation Agreement shall be required for each succeeding Plan Year (or fiscal year or years, as applicable, with respect to Fiscal Year Compensation or performance period with respect to Performance-Based Compensation) for which the Employee continues as an Eligible Employee.

     4.2 Crediting of Amounts to a Participant’s Account. The Employer shall credit a Participant’s Account with the amount of Compensation the Participant has elected to defer. Such amount shall be credited as of the date the Compensation subject to the Deferred Compensation Agreement otherwise would have been paid to the Participant in the absence of the Deferred Compensation Agreement.

     4.3 Employer Contributions. The Employer may, but shall not be required to, credit a Participant’s Account with an amount determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Employer. In crediting such amounts, the Employer may, but shall not be required to, take into consideration any contributions to which the Participant would be entitled under the Centex Corporation Saving for Retirement Plan but for the limitations under section 401(a)(17), 415 or other sections of the Code, or because of deferrals made by such Participant under this Plan.

ARTICLE V.

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     5.1 Participant Accounts. The Company will establish and maintain an Account for each Participant to which shall be credited or debited all contributions and any earnings, losses and expenses attributable to the Participant’s Account. The Administrative Committee will establish and maintain such other accounts and records as it decides in its discretion to be

10

reasonably required or appropriate in order to discharge its duties under the Plan. Participants will be furnished statements of their Account values at least once each Plan Year.

          Subject to the distribution provisions and other requirements of this Plan, a Participant shall at all times have a fully vested and nonforfeitable right to the amounts credited to his Account.

     5.2 Accounting for Distributions. As of any date of a distribution to a Participant or a Beneficiary hereunder, the distribution to the Participant or to the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be charged to the Participant’s Account.

ARTICLE VI.

INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS

     6.1 Manner of Investment. All amounts credited to the Accounts of Participants shall be valued as though invested and reinvested only in eligible investments as selected by the Company.

          (a) All dividends, interest, gains and distributions of any nature earned in respect of an investment alternative in which the Account is treated as invested shall be credited to the Account in an amount equal to the net increase or decrease in the net asset value of each investment option since the preceding Valuation Date in accordance with the ratio that the portion of the Account of each Participant that is treated as invested in the designated investment option bears to the aggregate of all amounts treated as invested in the same investment option.

          (b) Expenses attributable to the acquisition of investments shall be charged to the Account of the Participant for which such investment is made.

     6.2 Investment Decisions. Investments in which the Accounts of Participants shall be treated as invested and reinvested shall be directed by the Company. A Participant may provide direction to the Company with respect to the eligible investments selected by the Company with respect to which amounts in his Account shall be valued; provided, however, that such direction shall be advisory and shall not obligate the Company to provide that amounts shall be so invested.

     6.3 Adjustment for Investment Experience. If any distribution under Article VII is not made in a single payment, the amount remaining in the Account after the distribution will be subject to adjustment until distributed to reflect the income and gain or loss on the investments in which such amount is treated as invested and any expenses properly charged to such amounts.

11

ARTICLE VII.

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

     7.1 Election for Form of Distribution of Benefits.

          (a) Each individual who will be an Eligible Employee as of January 1, 2008 and who has executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement to be effective as of January 1, 2008 or who has executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement at any time between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007 and to whom the amounts credited to his Account have not been fully distributed as of December 31, 2007 shall, on or before January 1, 2008 (or such earlier date as the Administrative Committee prescribes), elect the time of distribution and Form of Distribution from among the options set forth in this Section for the amounts credited to his Account effective for distribution events on or after January 1, 2008. Each other individual who has not executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement under the Plan to be effective as of January 1, 2008 but who executes a Deferred Compensation Agreement subsequent to January 1, 2008 to commence deferring part of his Compensation under the Plan shall, on or before the deadline applicable to such Deferred Compensation Agreement, elect the time of distribution and Form of Distribution from among the options set forth in this Section for the amounts credited to his Account. Such election shall remain in effect until an effective subsequent election regarding time of distribution and/or Form of Distribution is made pursuant to Section 7.3.

          (b) Participants may elect to receive distribution of their Account from among the following Forms of Distribution, subject to Section 7.2:

               (1) For a distribution on account of Retirement:

                    (A) a lump sum in cash; or

                    (B) a series of substantially equal quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments, in cash, over a period certain which does not exceed 15 years.

               (2) For a distribution on account of Separation from Service for a reason other than Retirement or for a distribution on account of Disability: a lump sum in cash.

               (3) For a Scheduled Distribution: a lump sum in cash. In a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement, the Administrative Committee may, but is not required to, permit a Participant to elect a Scheduled Distribution of either a percentage of the amounts deferred from Compensation for the Plan Year to which the Deferred Compensation Agreement relates or a dollar amount of such deferred amounts, in either case, as adjusted for income, expenses, gains or losses thereon as provided in Article VI. Amounts subject to the Scheduled Distribution will be credited to a subaccount within the Participant’s Account. If a Participant specifies a partial distribution by dollar amount, then in the event

12

that the amount credited to the Participant’s subaccount attributable to deferred Compensation for such Plan Year is less than that amount at the time of distribution, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected a full distribution of such subaccount.

          (c) Notwithstanding an election to receive installment payments under subsection (b)(1)(B) of this Section, if the total amount credited to a Participant’s Account and any other plans required to be aggregated with this Plan, including all agreements, methods, programs, or other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(c)(2) as of the date the Participant experiences a Separation from Service is less than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), the Administrative Committee may require a distribution of the entire Account in the form of a single lump sum payment. Any payment made pursuant to this provision must result in the termination and liquidation of the entirety of the Participant’s interest under the Plan and any other plans required to be aggregated with this Plan, including all agreements, methods, programs, or other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(c)(2). Any determination by the Administrative Committee to require a distribution pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) must be evidenced in writing no later than the date of any payment hereunder.

          (d) If no Form of Distribution election is made by a Participant, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum in cash.

7.2 Time of Distribution.

          (a) A Participant’s Account shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable but no later than 60 days after the Participant’s Separation from Service or Disability; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 7.2(b), the Account of a Participant who experiences a Separation from Service due to Retirement shall be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s time of distribution election pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

          (b) A Participant may elect to receive or begin receiving a distribution on account of Retirement as follows:

               (1) If the Participant elects a lump sum distribution, he can elect that the distribution be made:

                    (A) as soon as administratively practicable but no later than 60 days following his Retirement;

                    (B) in January of the year following his Retirement;

                    (C) with respect to an election to change the time of distribution and/or Form of Distribution under Section 7.3, an elected date

13

that is five years after the date such distribution otherwise would have been made in accordance with the time of distribution election previously made by the Participant under clause (A) or (B) of this subsection (b)(1).

               (2) If the Participant elects a distribution in quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments following his Retirement, the distribution will commence (A) in January of the year following his Retirement or (B) with respect to an election to change the time of distribution and/or Form of Distribution under Section 7.3, an elected date that is five years after the date such distribution otherwise would have been made in accordance with the time of distribution provided in clause (A) of this subsection (b)(2).

               (3) If the Participant elects a Scheduled Distribution, he can elect that the distribution be made on a specified distribution date after a set number of Plan Years after the Plan Year with respect to which the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement relates and the Scheduled Distribution shall be made within 60 days following the specified distribution date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant experiences a Separation from Service (by reason of Retirement or otherwise) or a Disability or a Change in Control occurs prior to such specified distribution date, then the Scheduled Distribution election shall not apply and the Participant’s elections with respect to distribution following Retirement, if applicable, or the provisions of this Plan related to distribution upon Separation from Service for reasons other than Retirement, Disability, or Change in Control, as applicable, shall control the distribution of his subaccount of his Account to which his Scheduled Distribution amount is credited.

An election pursuant to this Section shall be made by the Participant when the Participant first enters into a Deferred Compensation Agreement in the manner and form specified by the Administrative Committee. Such election shall remain in effect until a subsequent election regarding the timing of distribution becomes effective in accordance with Section 7.3. If no time of distribution election is made by a Participant, distribution shall be made as soon as practicable but no later than 60 days after the distribution event.

          (c) Notwithstanding a Participant’s election regarding time of distribution of his Account or a Scheduled Distribution, in the event that a Participant experiences a Separation from Service other than due to Retirement or if the Participant incurs a Disability, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following but no later than 60 days following his Separation from Service or Disability, as applicable.

          (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, in no event will distribution to a Participant be made later than the date specified by the Participant in his election to defer Compensation; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the payment.

14

          (e) Any provision of the Plan and any Deferred Compensation Agreement (or other distribution election) to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of his or her Separation from Service, no distribution on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service (including Separation from Service on account of Retirement) may be made with respect to such Participant before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period, the date of the Participant’s death). In such case, any payment that would be made within such six-month period will be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the earliest business day that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

     7.3 Subsequent Deferral Elections. If permitted by the Administrative Committee, a Participant may change his election under his Deferred Compensation Agreement regarding the time at which his Account will be distributed or begin to be distributed, or the Form of Distribution, or both, after commencing participation in the Plan, provided that (a) no such change shall be effective until 12 months after the date such modified election is made, (b) no change may be made less than 12 months prior to the date the distribution is scheduled to be made or, in the case of installments, 12 months prior to the date the first amount was scheduled to be distributed, and (c) the distribution to be made pursuant to any such subsequent election is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such distribution would otherwise have been made or, in the case of installments, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be distributed. For purposes of this subsection, the date a distribution is scheduled to be made in the case of a distribution period that is longer than one day shall be the first day of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may permit Participants to make new distribution elections on or before December 31, 2008, with respect to the time and/or form of distribution in respect of distributions from his or her Account provided that the election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in the year in which the election is made and does not cause an amount to be paid in the year in which the election is made that would not otherwise be payable in that year.

     7.4 Distribution In the Event of the Participant’s Death. If a Participant dies before the distribution of his Account has commenced, or before such distribution has been completed, his designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be entitled to receive the balance or remaining balance of his Account, plus any amounts thereafter credited to his Account, in a lump sum in cash. The distribution date upon a Participant’s death shall be the date of the Participant’s death; provided, however, that distribution may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the distribution.

          If a Participant is married, his Beneficiary is his spouse at the time of his death. A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries other than his spouse, provided that his spouse either consents to such designation or the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that the spouse’s consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located. Spousal consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the designation, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Any consent by

15

a spouse (or the establishment that a spouse cannot be located) shall be valid only with respect to that spouse. The designation of a nonspousal Beneficiary or a change in any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be made by giving notice to the Administrative Committee on a form designated by the Administrative Committee.

          If a Participant is not married, he may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries or change any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by giving notice to the Administrative Committee on a form designated by the Administrative Committee.

          If more than one person is designated as the Beneficiary, their respective interests shall be as indicated on the designation form.

          A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and approved by the Administrative Committee. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the opinion of the Administrative Committee, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the Participant’s Account, such amount will be paid to his surviving spouse or, if none, to his estate (such spouse or estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan).

     7.5 Withdrawals in the Event of an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency.

          (a) If the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the Participant may petition the Administrative Committee to receive a partial or full distribution of his Account. A distribution under this Section shall not exceed the lesser of the balance in the Participant’s Account at that time or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, and shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrative Committee makes its determination as to the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency but no later than 60 days after such date; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the payment. The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but in any case, distribution may not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (iii) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. No distribution shall be made to a Participant pursuant to this Section unless such Participant requests such a distribution in writing and provides to the Administrative Committee such information and documentation with respect to his or her Unforeseeable Financial Emergency as may be requested by the Administrative Committee. Approval of such a request shall be made by the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion.

          (b) In the event that a Participant receives a distribution in connection with an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency under subsection (a) of this Section, the Administrative Committee may cancel the deferrals otherwise required under the Deferred Compensation Agreement of the Participant then in effect.

          (c) This Section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the distribution requirements and cancellation of deferral provisions of Code Section 409A.

16

     7.6 Notice to Trustee. The Administrative Committee will notify the Trustee, if applicable, in writing whenever any Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to receive benefits under the Plan. The Administrative Committee’s notice shall indicate the form, amount and frequency of benefits that such Participant or Beneficiary shall receive.

     7.7 Change in Control. Unless a Deferred Compensation Agreement expressly provides otherwise, in the event of a Change in Control, the amount (or remaining amount) credited to each Participant’s Account shall become immediately payable and shall be paid in a lump sum in cash (regardless of the otherwise applicable distribution and timing provided for under a Deferred Compensation Agreement) as soon as administratively practicable but no later than 60 days following the Change in Control; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the distribution.

     7.8 Accelerated Distribution Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or a Deferred Compensation Agreement (or other distribution election) to the contrary, the Administrative Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate distribution of the amount credited to a Participant’s Account in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv).

     7.9 Delay of Distribution Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or a Deferred Compensation Agreement (or other distribution election) to the contrary, distribution of the amount credited to a Participant’s Account may be delayed by the Administrative Committee under the circumstances described in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(7), provided that the Administrative Committee treats all distributions to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

ARTICLE VIII.

AMENDMENTS, TERMINATION AND ADOPTION BY RELATED EMPLOYERS

     8.1 Amendment by Company. The Company reserves the authority to amend the Plan at any time and in any manner, except that no amendment shall apply retroactively to alter or change the rights of Participants or their Beneficiaries with respect to past deferrals, nor shall any such amendment divest any Participant of any deferral made prior to the amendment. Amendments may be made as necessary or appropriate to enable the Plan to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code or ERISA or to conform the Plan to any change in federal law or to any regulations or rulings thereunder.

     8.2 Plan Termination. The Company has adopted the Plan with the intention and expectation that the Plan will be continued indefinitely. However, the Company has no obligation or liability whatsoever to maintain the Plan for any length of time and may discontinue contributions under the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of such discontinuance, Accounts of Participants maintained under the Plan at the time of termination shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan until paid out in accordance with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrative Committee may in its discretion provide

17

for accelerated distribution of all amounts credited to Accounts upon a termination of the Plan in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

     8.3 Adoption by Related Employers. It is contemplated that Related Employers that are not treated as a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code may adopt this Plan and thereby become an Employer hereunder. With the consent of the Administrative Committee, any such entity, whether or not presently existing, may become a party hereto by appropriate action of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart. Any Employer may, by appropriate action of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart, terminate its participation in the Plan. Moreover, the Board may, in its discretion, terminate an Employer’s Plan participation at any time.

ARTICLE IX.

TRUST

     9.1 Establishment of Trust. Benefits hereunder shall constitute an unfunded, general obligation of the Company. The Company may, but shall not be required to, establish a Trust between the Company and the Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in a separate agreement, under which assets are held, administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency, until paid to Participants and their Beneficiaries as specified in the Plan. Any such Trust shall be treated as a grantor trust under the Code, and the establishment of any such Trust is not intended to cause Participants to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto. If a Trust is established under this Section 9.1, then benefits may be paid by the Company or from the Trust.

     9.2 Funding. Notwithstanding the ability or obligation, as applicable, of the Company to establish a Trust under this Article IX, or to take other action to create reserves or funds, benefits under this Plan shall constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay benefits. A Participant and his Beneficiary(ies) shall be general creditors of the Employers with respect to the payment of any benefit under this Plan.

ARTICLE X.

PLAN ADMINISTRATION

     10.1 Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee has the full power and discretion and the full responsibility to interpret the Plan and to administer the Plan in all of its details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrative Committee’s powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

          (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;

          (b) To interpret the Plan, its interpretation thereof in good faith and discretion to be final and conclusive on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan;

18

          (c) To decide all questions concerning the Plan and the eligibility of any person to participate in the Plan;

          (d) To administer the claims and review procedures specified in Section 10.3;

          (e) To compute the amount of benefits which will be payable to any Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan;

          (f) To determine the person or persons to whom such benefits will be paid;

          (g) To authorize the payment of benefits;

          (h) To comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA;

          (i) To appoint such agents (which may include employees of the Company), counsel, accountants, and consultants as may be required to assist in administering the Plan; and

          (j) To allocate and delegate its responsibilities as it deems appropriate, including the formation of any other committees as appropriate to the administration of the Plan.

     10.2 Establishment of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee shall be a committee of one or more members appointed by the Board or an appropriate committee thereof. Action of such Administrative Committee shall be by a majority of the persons so appointed; provided, however, that action may be taken by the Administrative Committee at a meeting or without a meeting by resolution or memorandum signed by all the persons then appointed to the Administrative Committee. No member of the Administrative Committee shall be entitled to vote or decide upon any matter pertaining to himself individually, but such matter shall be determined by the remaining member of the Administrative Committee or by a majority of the remaining members of the Committee.

          The members of the Administrative Committee and employees, officer and directors of the Company who are designated as administrators with respect to this Plan shall serve without compensation for their services as such, but all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Committee, the members thereof and of such other individuals incurred in the performance of their duties and responsibilities under this Plan shall be paid by the Company.

     10.3 Claims and Review Procedures.

          (a) Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is entitled to any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrative Committee. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrative Committee will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such

19

person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review, the time limits applicable to such procedures, and a statement of the person’s rights following an adverse benefit determination on review, including a statement of his right to file a lawsuit under ERISA if the claim is denied on appeal. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Administrative Committee (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his claim.

          (b) Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a notice of denial (or within 60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Administrative Committee for a review of his denied claim; (ii) review pertinent documents; and (iii) submit issues and comments in writing. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Administrative Committee (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrative Committee to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period). The decision on review shall be in written or electronic notice of the final determination. If the claim is denied in whole or part, such notice, which shall be in a manner calculated to be understood by the person receiving such notice, shall include the specific reasons for the decision, the specific references to the pertinent plan provisions on which the decision is based, that the person is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, a description of any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the person’s right to obtain further information about any such procedures, and a statement of the person’s right to file a lawsuit under ERISA. If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

          Benefits under this Plan will only be paid if the Administrative Committee decides, in its discretion, that a person is entitled to them. Moreover, no action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under this Plan prior to the date the claimant has exhausted the administrative process of appeal available under the Plan.

ARTICLE XI.

MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1 Communication to Participants. The Administrative Committee shall communicate the terms of the Plan to each Eligible Employee as soon as practicable after such Employee is designated as an Eligible Employee.

20

     11.2 Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan and, if applicable, the Trust, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, Administrative Committee (or its delegates) or Trustee, except as provided herein. The Plan is not an employment contract, and in no event will the terms of employment or service of any Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.

     11.3 Spendthrift Provision. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.4, the benefits provided hereunder will not be subject to alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to cause such benefits to be so subjected will not be recognized, except to such extent as may be required by law.

     11.4 Spousal Claims. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, any claim against benefits under this Plan for child support, spousal maintenance, alimony, property division or other matrimonial or dependent obligations shall be paid in a single lump sum payment in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrative Committee (or its delegate) approves such payment. Except as provided herein, such a claim under this Plan shall be subject to the Plan’s claims procedures, provisions and restrictions.

     11.5 Withholding. Any taxes required to be withheld from distributions or benefits hereunder shall be deducted and withheld by the Employer, benefit provider or funding agent.

     11.6 Facility of Payment. In the event the Administrative Committee determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Committee, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Administrative Committee may, but is not obligated to, provide for disbursement of such payments to such person’s spouse or to any person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by any such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Plan for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.

     11.7 Overpayment and Underpayment of Benefits. The Administrative Committee may adopt, in its sole discretion, whatever rules, procedures and accounting practices that comply with Code Section 409A and are appropriate in providing for the collection of any overpayment of benefits. To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, if an overpayment is made to a Participant, spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee, for whatever reason, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, withhold payment of any further benefits under the Plan until the overpayment has been collected or may require repayment of benefits paid under this Plan, without regard to further benefits to which the person may be entitled and, to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, the Administrative Committee may seek repayment of such overpaid amounts through any and all available legal actions, including, but not limited to, filing suit in a court with appropriate jurisdiction. If a Participant, spouse, alternate payee, or other Beneficiary receives an underpayment of benefits, the Administrative Committee shall direct that immediate payment be

21

made to make up for the underpayment; provided, however, that such payment shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A.

     11.8 Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to ERISA, and to the extent not preempted thereby, the laws of the State of Texas.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Centex Corporation has executed these presents as evidenced by the signature of its officer affixed hereto, in a number of copies, all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by any executed copy hereof, this 15th day of February, 2008, to be effective as of January 1, 2008.

CENTEX CORPORATION
EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008

ARTICLE I.

NATURE OF PLAN

     Centex Corporation (the “Company”) established the Centex Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of April 1, 2003, for the benefit of certain of its Eligible Employees. The Plan was last amended and restated effective April 1, 2006. The Company is amending and restating the Plan effective January 1, 2008 for purposes of complying with Section 409A of the Code.

     The purpose of the Plan is to provide non-qualified Deferred Cash Compensation Awards to Eligible Employees. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

     The portion of each Participant’s Account under the Plan as of December 31, 2004 that was earned and vested as of that date shall be segregated into a separate account under the Plan to be known as the Grandfathered Account. The Grandfathered Account will be adjusted for any earnings or losses on amounts credited to such account. The Grandfathered Accounts shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2007 (the “Superseded Plan”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Grandfathered Accounts shall not subject to the terms and conditions of this amended and restated Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby authorizes the amendment and restatement of the Plan, effective January 1, 2008, to read as follows:

Related Employer shall also include any joint venture in which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is a partner, if the Company or a subsidiary of the Company manages such joint venture, and any Affiliated Business Arrangement. For purposes of this definition of Related Employer, an “Affiliated Business Arrangement” means any entity in which either CTX Mortgage Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or a subsidiary of the Company owns an interest and in which a non-Company owned entity also owns an interest, and may take the form of a limited partnership, a limited liability limited partnership, a limited liability company or such other ownership and management structure as CTX Mortgage Ventures, LLC or a subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, may deem appropriate. In addition, predecessors to the Company and its subsidiaries are Related Employers.

          “Retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment from the Employer and, where the context indicates, will include Vested Retirement with respect to Deferred Cash Compensation Awards granted prior to April 1, 2006.

          “Separation from Service” means a termination of services provided by a Participant to his or her Employer (as defined below), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).  In determining whether a Participant has incurred a Separation from Service, the following provisions shall apply:

          (1) Except as otherwise provided in this definition, a Separation from Service will occur when the Participant has experienced a termination of employment with the Employer.  A Participant will be considered to have

4

experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the Participant and his or her Employer reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services will be performed for the Employer after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Employer after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 33¹/₃ percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Participant (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months).

            If a Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Employer will be treated as continuing, provided that the period of the leave of absence does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the Participant has a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract.  If the period of a military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 months and the Participant does not have a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be considered to be terminated for purposes of this Plan as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6-month period.  In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a leave of absence will be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Employer.

            (2)        For a Participant who provides services to an Employer both as an employee and as an independent contractor, a Separation from Service generally will not occur until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer both as an employee and as an independent contractor. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the case of an independent contractor a Separation from Service will occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed for the Employer, provided that the expiration of such contract or contracts is determined by the Company to constitute a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the Participant and the Employer.  If a Participant ceases providing services for an Employer as an employee and begins providing services for such Employer as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services for the Employer in both capacities, as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this definition.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph, if a Participant provides services for an Employer as both an employee and as a member of the board of directors of an Employer, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(5), the services provided by the Participant as a director will not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant

5

  has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee.

          (3) In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this definition, where as part of a sale or other disposition of substantial assets by an Employer to an unrelated buyer, a Participant would otherwise experience a Separation from Service as defined above, the Employer and the buyer shall retain the discretion to specify, and may specify, that a Participant performing services for an Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction shall not experience a Separation from Service for purposes of this Plan and the Participant shall be bound by same, provided that such transaction and the specification meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

          (4) For purposes of this definition, “Employer” means:

               (i) The entity for whom the Participant performs services and with respect to which the legally binding right to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award arises; and

               (ii) All other entities with which the entity described in subparagraph (4)(i) of this definition would be aggregated and treated as a single employer under Code Section 414(b) (controlled group of corporations) and Code Section 414(c) (group of trades or businesses under common control), as applicable. To identify the group of entities described in the preceding sentence, an ownership threshold of 50% shall be used as a substitute for the 80% minimum ownership threshold that appears in, and otherwise must be used when applying, the applicable provisions of (A) Code Section 1563 and the regulations thereunder for determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (B) Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for determining the trades or businesses that are under common control under Code Section 414(c).

     “Specified Employee” means any Participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined by the Company in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(i).

     “Trust” means a trust fund established, if any, pursuant to the Article VIII hereof.

     “Trustee” means the corporation or individuals named in the agreement establishing a Trust and such successor and/or additional trustees as may be named in accordance with a trust agreement, if one is established.

     “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in

6

Code Section 152 without regard to paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof), (ii) a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) such other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

     “Vested Retirement” means the voluntary termination by a Participant who is a Full Time Employee of all employment from the Employer at any time after the Participant is age 55 or older, has at least 10 Years of Service and the sum of age and Years of Service equals at least 70. Calculation of eligibility for Vested Retirement shall be based on whole years of age and Years of Service on the date as of which the calculation is being made. Any partial years shall be disregarded. In no event will the Plan’s Vested Retirement provisions apply to Deferred Cash Compensation Awards granted on or after April 1, 2006.

     “Weighted Average Cost of Funds” means the Company’s weighted average borrowing cost as determined quarterly by the Company’s Treasurer.

     “Years of Service” means the Participant’s years of employment with an Employer. A Participant shall be credited with a Year of Service on each anniversary of the date on which he was first employed with an Employer, provided that the Participant continues to be employed by an Employer on such anniversary date.

     2.2 Word Usage. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereinafter” and other conjunctive uses of the word “here” shall be construed as reference to another portion of this Plan document. The terms “Section” or “Article” when used as a cross-reference shall refer to other Sections or Articles contained in the Plan and not to another instrument, document or publication unless specifically stated otherwise.

ARTICLE III.

ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE

     3.1 Date of Participation. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan as of the date he is granted a Deferred Cash Compensation Award, pursuant to Section 4.1.

     3.2 Change in Employment Status. If any Participant continues in the employ of the Employer or Related Employer but ceases to be an Eligible Employee, the individual shall continue to be a Participant while he remains employed and the Deferred Cash Compensation Award will continue to vest and be paid in accordance with its terms; provided, however, the individual shall not be eligible for new grants of Deferred Cash Compensation Awards on and after the date he is no longer an Eligible Employee.

ARTICLE IV.

DEFERRED CASH COMPENSATION AWARDS

     4.1 Award from Company. From time to time while the Plan is in effect, the Committee may in its absolute discretion select from among Eligible Employees such one or more of them as in the opinion of the Committee should receive a Deferred Cash Compensation Award from the Company. The Committee will also, in its absolute discretion, determine the amount of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award for each Eligible Employee so selected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employees of an Employer that is not considered a single employer with the Company under Code Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) shall not be eligible to participate in this Plan until the Employer adopts the Plan as a participating employer in accordance with Section 10.9.

     4.3 Crediting of Amounts. An Employer shall credit a Participant’s Account with the amount of Deferred Cash Compensation that has been awarded to the Participant in accordance with Section 4.1. Such amount shall be credited to a Participant’s Account on the date specified under the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement.

     4.4 Interest. A Participant’s Account shall accrue interest (compounded on a daily basis) until paid to the Participant, and shall be credited with interest each day at a per annum interest rate equal to the Company’s Weighted Average Cost of Funds for the calendar quarter ended immediately prior to such day or as otherwise provided in the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement.

     4.5 Vesting. A Participant’s Deferred Cash Compensation Award shall vest in accordance with a schedule established by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and as described in the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement. The schedules established by the Committee for each Deferred Cash Compensation Award may differ among Participants.

     4.6 Distribution. The distribution of any vested portion of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award shall be as provided in the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement, subject to the provisions of Article VI below.

     4.7 Forfeiture. Subject to Sections 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 below and except as otherwise provided in a Deferred Compensation Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, any unvested portion of an Account attributable to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award shall be immediately forfeited automatically upon termination of employment of the Participant for any reason other than death or Disability, or, with respect to Deferred Cash Compensation Awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, Vested Retirement.

     4.8 Death, Disability or Vested Retirement. Notwithstanding Section 4.5 to the contrary, unless (i) otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement or (ii) previously forfeited under Section 4.7, in the event of the Participant’s death or

8

Disability while employed by an Employer or, with respect to Deferred Cash Compensation Awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, Vested Retirement, each Deferred Cash Compensation Award granted to such Participant shall become immediately vested in its entirety.

     4.9 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control during a Participant’s employment with the Employer, each Deferred Cash Compensation Award granted under this Plan to the Participant shall become immediately vested and payable and shall be paid in a lump sum in cash (regardless of the otherwise applicable distribution and vesting provided for under the Deferred Compensation Agreement or the terms of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award) unless otherwise expressly provided in such Deferred Compensation Agreement or Deferred Cash Compensation Award.

     4.10 Employee Directors. An Employee Director’s entire Deferred Cash Compensation Award will vest in full on the date the Employee Director ceases to be both a Director and an Employee.

ARTICLE V.

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     5.1 Participant Accounts. The Company will establish and maintain an Account for each Participant to which shall be credited all Employer contributions and any earnings attributable to the Participant’s Account. The Committee will establish and maintain such other accounts and records as it decides in its discretion to be reasonably required or appropriate in order to discharge its duties under the Plan. Participants will be furnished statements of their Account values at least once each Plan Year.

     5.2 Accounting for Distributions. As of any date of a distribution to a Participant or a Beneficiary hereunder, the distribution to the Participant or to the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be charged to the Participant’s Account.

ARTICLE VI.

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

     6.1 General. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2, amounts credited to a Participant’s Account in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award shall be paid in a lump sum cash distribution as soon as administratively practicable but no later than 60 days following the date on which the payment is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Code Section 409A; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the payment.

     6.2 Deferral.

          (a) With the approval of the Committee, amounts credited to a Participant’s Account in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award may be deferred and paid in

9

a form of distribution authorized by the Committee, which may include installments or a lump sum distribution. The Committee may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payment of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 and such other procedures as may be established by the Committee. The Committee also may specify in a Deferred Cash Compensation Award or the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement that payment of amounts credited to a Participant’s Account in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award will be deferred. Any deferred payment pursuant to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award, whether elected by the Participant or specified by the Deferred Compensation Agreement or the terms of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the Deferred Compensation Agreement or the terms of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award so provide. Any such deferral of payment will be made in accordance with the following:

          (i) Initial Deferral Elections by Participants. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2, the Participant must make a written, irrevocable election as to deferral of payment in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award and the time and form of such payment on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall be no later than:

                    (A) December 31^st of the calendar year preceding the calendar year during which the Participant will commence performing the services giving rise to the Deferred Cash Compensation Award subject to the deferral election; or

                    (B) for the first year in which the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, 30 days after the date the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, provided that such an election will only be effective with respect to the portion of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award related to services performed after the election.

          (ii) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Performance-Based Compensation. In the event that the Committee determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award that is Performance-Based Compensation (as defined below), an eligible Participant may make a written, irrevocable election as to deferral of payment in respect of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award and the time and form of such payment on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall not be later than 6 months before the end of the performance period.  

          For purposes of this subparagraph, “Performance-Based Compensation” means a Deferred Cash Compensation Award, the amount of which, or the entitlement to which, is contingent on the satisfaction of preestablished organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(e).  Performance criteria are considered preestablished if established in writing by not later than 90 days after the

10

commencement of the period of service to which the criteria relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the criteria are established.

          For a Participant to be eligible to make a deferral election in accordance with this subparagraph, the Participant must have performed services continuously from the later of (A) the beginning of the performance period for the Performance-Based Compensation or (B) the date upon which the performance criteria with respect to the Performance-Based Compensation are established, through the date on which the Participant makes the deferral election.  In addition, in no event may a deferral election under this subparagraph be made after the Performance-Based Compensation has become readily ascertainable within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(8).

          (iii) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Fiscal Year Compensation. In the event that the Committee determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award that is Fiscal Year Compensation (as defined below), the Participant may make a written, irrevocable election as to the deferral of payment in respect of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award and the time and form of such payment on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall not be later than the close of the Employer’s fiscal year immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are performed for which the Deferred Cash Compensation Award is payable.  For purposes of this subparagraph, the term “Fiscal Year Compensation” means a Deferred Cash Compensation Award relating to a period of service coextensive with one or more consecutive fiscal years of the Employer, of which no amount is paid or payable during the fiscal year(s) constituting the period of service.

          (iv) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Short-Term Deferrals. If a Participant has a legally binding right to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award under the Plan or a payment under a Deferred Cash Compensation Award in a subsequent calendar year that, absent a deferral election, would be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the Committee determines that a deferral election may be made with respect to payment in respect of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award, the Participant may make a written, irrevocable election to defer such payment in accordance with the requirements of subparagraph (vii) of this Section 6.2(a), applied as if the payment were a deferral of compensation and the scheduled payment date for the payment were the date the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. The Committee may provide in the deferral election that the deferred payment will be payable upon a Change in Control without regard to the five-year additional deferral requirement in subparagraph (vii) of this Section 6.2(a).

          (v) Initial Participant Deferral Elections for Compensation Subject to a Risk of Forfeiture. If a Participant has a legally binding right to a Deferred Cash Compensation Award under the Plan or payment in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award in a subsequent year and the payment of or under the

11

Deferred Cash Compensation Award is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant’s continued services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right, the Committee may permit the Participant to make a written, irrevocable election to defer such payment no later than the 30^th day after the Participant obtains the legally binding right to the payment, provided that the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse, as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(5). For purposes of this subparagraph, a condition will not be treated as failing to require the Participant to continue to provide services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right merely because the condition immediately lapses upon Disability or death of the Participant or upon a Change in Control. However, if the Participant’s Disability or death or a Change in Control event occurs before the end of such 12-month period, a deferral election under this subparagraph will be effective only if it would be permissible under another subparagraph of this Section 6.2(a).

          (vi) Deferrals by Committee. If a Deferred Cash Compensation Award is made that provides for the deferral of compensation for services performed during a Participant’s taxable year and the Participant is not given an opportunity to elect the time or form of payment of the Deferred Cash Compensation Award, the Committee must designate the time and form of payment no later than the time the Participant first has a legally binding right to the Deferred Cash Compensation Award or, if later, the time the Participant would be required under this Section 6.2(a) to make such an election if the Participant were provided such an election.

          (vii) Subsequent Participant Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(a), with approval of the Committee, a Participant may elect to further delay payment in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award or change the form of payment if:

                    (A) the election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

                    (B) for any payment not made on account of death or Disability, the payment is deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date the payment would otherwise have been paid and not later than the Maximum Deferral Date; and

                    (C) any election related to a payment to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule must be made not less than 12 months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may permit Participants to make new payment elections on or before December 31, 2008, with respect to the time and/or form of payment in

12

respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award, provided that the election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in the year in which the election is made and does not cause an amount to be paid in the year in which the election is made that would not otherwise be payable in that year.

     (viii) Acceleration of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, a Deferred Compensation Agreement or a deferral election to the contrary, the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate payment in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv).

     (ix) Delay of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, an Award Agreement or a deferral election to the contrary, payment in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award may be delayed by the Committee under the circumstances described in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(7), provided that the Committee treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

     (b) Permissible Payment Events/Times. The Committee may specify any one or more of the following as an event upon or a time at which payment of the vested portion of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award may be made pursuant to a deferral election under Section 6.2(a): (i) Separation from Service, (ii) Disability, (iii) death, (iv) a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, (v) Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, or (vi) a Change in Control. The Committee may provide for payment upon the earliest or latest of more than one such event or time.

     (c) Time of Payment. The payment date with respect to payment of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award that is deferred under Section 6.2(a) shall be the permissible payment event or time under Section 6.2(b) designated by the Participant or the Committee, as applicable, in accordance with Section 6.2(a). Payment in respect of a Deferred Cash Compensation Award shall be made within 60 days following the payment date; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the payment.

     (d) Specified Employees. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment in respect of a Participant’s Award provides for a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A and the Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of his or her Separation from Service, no payment on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service may be made with respect to such Participant before the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period, the date of the Participant’s death). In such case, any payment that would be made within such six-month period will be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the earliest business day that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

13

     6.3 Distributions In the Event of the Participant’s Death. If a Participant dies before the distribution of his Account has commenced, or before such distribution has been completed, his designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be entitled to receive, to the extent vested, the balance or remaining balance of his Account, plus any amounts thereafter credited to his Account, in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant’s date of death and satisfaction of this Section 6.3. The distribution date upon a Participant’s death shall be the date of the Participant’s death; provided, however, that distribution may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, further, that the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the distribution.

     If a Participant is married, his Beneficiary is his spouse at the time of his death. A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries other than his spouse, provided that the Participant’s spouse either consents to such designation or the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Committee that the spouse’s consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located. Spousal consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the designation, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Any consent by a spouse (or the establishment that a spouse cannot be located) shall be valid only with respect to that spouse. The designation of a nonspousal Beneficiary or a change in any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be made by giving notice to the Committee on a form designated by the Committee.

     If a Participant is not married, he may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries or change any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by giving notice to the Committee on a form designated by the Committee.

     If more than one person is designated as the Beneficiary, their respective interests shall be as indicated on the designation form. Distributions shall be made in lump sum payments in cash as soon as administratively practicable following the Committee’s receipt of notice of the Participant’s death.

     A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and approved by the Committee. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the opinion of the Committee, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the Participant’s vested Account, such amount will be paid to his surviving spouse or, if none, to his estate (such spouse or estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan). If a Beneficiary dies after benefits to such Beneficiary have commenced, but before they have been completed, and, in the opinion of the Committee, no person has been designated to receive such remaining benefits, then such benefits shall be paid to the deceased Beneficiary’s estate.

     6.4 Withdrawals in the Event of an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. If the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the Participant may petition the Committee, in the manner and form specified by the Committee, to receive a partial or full distribution of his vested Account. A payout under this section shall not exceed the lesser of the vested balance in the Participant’s Account or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. Approval of such a request shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any such withdrawal shall be made on a pro rata basis from

14

any subaccounts established under a Participant’s Account.

     6.5 Notice to Trustee. The Committee will notify the Trustee, if applicable, in writing whenever any Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to receive benefits under the Plan. The Committee’s notice shall indicate the form, amount and frequency of benefits that such Participant or Beneficiary shall receive.

ARTICLE VII.

AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

     7.1 Amendment by Company. The Company, by action of the Committee, reserves the authority to amend the Plan at any time and in any manner, except that no amendment shall apply retroactively to alter the rights of Participants (or, following the Particpants’ death, their Beneficiaries) with respect to past deferrals, nor shall any such amendment divest any Participant (or, following the Participant’s death, his Beneficiaries) of any deferral made prior to the amendment. Amendments may be made as necessary or appropriate to enable the Plan to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code or ERISA or to conform the Plan to any change in federal law or to any regulations or ruling thereunder.

     7.2 Plan Termination. The Company has adopted the Plan with the intention and expectation that the Plan will be continued indefinitely. However, the Company has no obligation or liability whatsoever to maintain the Plan for any length of time and may discontinue contributions under the Plan or, by action of the Committee, terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of such discontinuance, Accounts of Participants maintained under the Plan at the time of termination shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan until paid out in accordance with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to distribute to each Participant the total amount deferred, including accrued interest, of the Participant’s Account upon Plan termination, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE VIII.

TRUST

     8.1 Establishment of Trust. Benefits hereunder shall constitute an unfunded, general obligation of the Company. The Company may, but shall not be required to, establish a Trust between the Company and the Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in a separate agreement, under which assets are held, administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency, until paid to Participants and their Beneficiaries as specified in the Plan. Any such Trust shall be treated as a grantor trust under the Code, and the establishment of any such Trust is not intended to cause Participants to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto. If a Trust is established under this Section 8.1, then benefits may be paid by the Company or from the Trust.

     8.2 Funding. Notwithstanding the ability or obligation, as applicable, of the Company to establish a Trust under this Article VIII, or to take other action to create reserves or funds, benefits under this Plan shall constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay

15

benefits. A Participant and his Beneficiary(ies) shall be general creditors of the Company with respect to the payment of any benefit under this Plan.

ARTICLE IX.

PLAN ADMINISTRATION

     9.1 Powers and Responsibilities of the Committee. The Committee has the full power and discretion and the full responsibility to interpret the Plan and to administer the Plan in all of its details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA.

          (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;

          (j) To allocate and delegate its responsibilities, including the formation of any other committees as appropriate to the administration of the Plan.

9.2 Claims and Review Procedures.

          (a) If any person believes he is entitled to any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Committee, which shall be in appropriate detail to convey a clear understanding of such claim. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Committee will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific

16

reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review, the time limits applicable to such procedures, and a statement of the person’s rights following an adverse benefit determination on review, including a statement of his right to file a lawsuit under ERISA if the claim is denied on appeal. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Committee (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his claim.

          (b) Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a notice of denial (or within 60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Committee for a review of his denied claim; (ii) review pertinent documents; and (iii) submit issues and comments in writing. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Committee (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Committee to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period). The decision on review shall be in written or electronic form, and include notice of the final determination. If the claim is denied in whole or part, such notice, which shall be in a manner calculated to be understood by the person receiving such notice, shall include (i) the specific reasons for the decision, (ii) the specific references to the pertinent plan provisions on which the decision is based, (iii) a statement that the person is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, (iv) a description of any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the person’s right to obtain further information about any such procedures, and (v) a statement of the person’s right to file a lawsuit under ERISA. If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

          (c) Benefits under this Plan will only be paid if the Committee decides, in its discretion, that a person is entitled to them. Moreover, no action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under this Plan prior to the date the claimant has exhausted the administrative process of appeal available under the Plan.

ARTICLE X.

MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1 Communication to Participants. The Committee shall communicate the terms of the Plan as soon as practicable after an Eligible Employee is designated as a Participant.

17

     10.2 Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan and, if applicable, the Trust, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company, an Employer, the Committee (or its delegates) or Trustee, except as provided herein. The Plan is not an employment contract, and in no event will the terms of employment or service of any Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.

     10.3 Spendthrift Provision. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.4, the benefits provided hereunder will not be subject to alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to cause such benefits to be so subjected will not be recognized, except to such extent as may be required by law.

     10.4 Spousal Claims. Subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, any claim against benefits under this Plan for child support, spousal maintenance, alimony, property division or other matrimonial or dependent obligations shall be paid in a single lump sum payment in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee (or its delegate) approves such payment. Except as provided herein, such a claim under this Plan shall be subject to the Plan’s claims procedures, provisions and restrictions.

     10.5 Withholding. Any taxes required to be withheld from distributions or benefits hereunder shall be deducted and withheld by the Employer, benefit provider or funding agent.

     10.6 Facility of Payment. In the event the Committee determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Committee, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Committee may, but is not obligated to, provide for disbursement of such payments to such person’s spouse or to any person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under applicable state law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by any such person or institution of any such payments therefor, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Plan for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.

     10.7 Overpayment and Underpayment of Benefits. The Committee may adopt, in its sole discretion, whatever rules, procedures and accounting practices that comply with Code Section 409A and are appropriate in providing for the collection of any overpayment of benefits. To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, if an overpayment is made to a Participant, spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee, for whatever reason, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, withhold payment of any further benefits under the Plan until the overpayment has been collected or may require repayment of benefits paid under this Plan, without regard to further benefits to which the person may be entitled and, to the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, in its sole discretion, the Committee may seek repayment of such overpaid amounts through any and all available legal actions, including, but not limited to, filing suit in a court with appropriate jurisdiction. If a Participant, spouse, alternate payee, or other Beneficiary receives an underpayment of benefits, the Committee shall direct that immediate payment be made to make up for the underpayment; provided, however, that such payment shall be made in a manner

18

that complies with Code Section 409A.

     10.8 Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to ERISA, and to the extent not preempted thereby, the laws of the State of Texas.

     10.9 Adoption by Related Companies. With the consent of the Committee, any Related Company that is not considered a single employer with the Company under Code Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) may adopt the Plan for the benefit of its Employees by written instrument delivered to the Committee.

19

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this amended and restated Plan as evidenced by the signature of its officer affixed hereto, in a number of copies, all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by any executed copy hereof, this 15th day of February, 2008, to be effective as of January 1, 2008.

Exhibit 10.9

CENTEX CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

     Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), having established and maintained the Centex Corporation Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), and having reserved the right to amend the SERP, does hereby amend and restate the SERP in its entirety, effective January 1, 2008, to read as follows:

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

     Under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) the federal government sets a limit on the amount of annual compensation which may be considered in determining, for the account of an eligible participant, a company’s contribution to a tax-qualified defined contribution plan, including the Centex Corporation Saving for Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), and does not permit certain employees to participate in the Plan. The purpose of this SERP is to establish balances for each participant in this SERP in an amount substantially equal to the contribution or additional contribution which he or she would have received under the Plan had 100% of his or her annual salary been eligible for a profit sharing contribution. The first SERP contribution was for the Plan year ended March 31, 1995. The Plan year was changed to a calendar year basis in 1999. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Plan. The Plan and accounts hereunder are intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intention.

SECTION 2. GRANDFATHERED ACCOUNTS

     The portion of each participant’s account under the SERP as of December 31, 2004 that was earned and vested as of that date, plus the right to any future contributions to the account that was earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, to the extent such contributions were actually made, shall be segregated into a separate account under the SERP to be known as the grandfathered account. The grandfathered account will be adjusted for any earnings or losses on amounts credited to such account. The grandfathered accounts shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the SERP as in effect on December 31, 2007 (the “superseded plan”) Notwithstanding any provision of this SERP to the contrary, the grandfathered accounts shall not subject to the terms and conditions of this amended and restated SERP, as provided below.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY

     All current participants in the Plan whose employer’s contribution, other than a 401(k) contribution, is reduced either by the compensation limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code or in order to satisfy any of the non-discrimination tests applicable to the Plan, such as Section 410(b)(2) of the Code, which is commonly referred to as the “average benefits test,” shall be eligible to participate in the SERP. Those provisions of the Code which so limit the employer’s contribution are herein called the “Limitations.” New employees paid annual compensation in excess of the Limitations (including an employee who does not yet qualify for participation in the Plan, provided that he or she does subscribe to the Plan when he or she becomes eligible to do so), and participants in the Plan who first meet the eligibility standards after subscribing to the Plan, may be added to this SERP at the sole discretion of either the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer of Centex Corporation. In addition, employees (whether full time or part time) who are ineligible to participate in

1

the Plan, but to whom the Company desires to extend benefits equivalent to those available to eligible employees under the Plan, may be added to this SERP at the sole discretion of either the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees of affiliates of the Company that are not considered a single employer with the Company under Code Section 414(b) or Code Section 414(c) shall not be eligible to participate in the SERP until the affiliate adopts the SERP as a participating employer in accordance with Section 11.

SECTION 4. FUNDING

     This is an unfunded, non-qualified plan. The amounts to be allocated to each participant for both contributions and earnings will be reflected only as accrued liabilities on the books and records of the Company. The participants will thus be unsecured creditors of the Company. From time to time the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, create and administer separate accounts for one or more participants which the Company may fund, from time to time, in amounts which are equivalent to the total account of the participant.

SECTION 5. CONTRIBUTIONS

     To be eligible for an annual SERP accrual a participant must be actively employed by an Employer (as that term is defined in the Plan) on the date the SERP contribution is to be credited to his or her account (and regardless of whether or not he receives a contribution under the Plan for the same Plan year). The annual SERP accrual for the account of each eligible participant will be calculated using the total Compensation which, but for the Limitations or the participant not being eligible to participate in the Plan, would be considered in determining the appropriate profit sharing contribution for such participant under the Plan (“Total Compensation”), less the amount of Compensation, if any, which has been considered for purposes of determining the profit sharing contribution under the Plan. The difference between Total Compensation and the Compensation, if any, considered under the Plan is herein called “Excess Salary.”

     The accrual contribution to be allocated to the account of an eligible participant will be the product of his or her Excess Salary times the percent of salary used by his or her Employer in allocating the Plan contribution. Such allocation shall be credited to the eligible participant’s account as soon as practicable after the profit sharing contribution for such year is made to the Plan. Should the Plan formula be changed in future years such that the contribution is not calculated exclusively as a percentage of Compensation, then the percentage to be used for the SERP shall represent the percentage derived by dividing the total Employer Profit Sharing Contribution for the applicable Employer by the sum of all Total Compensation for all of that Employer’s Plan participants.

SECTION 6. EARNINGS

     Each participant may designate how his or her SERP account balance is to be invested by the Company and will have a “phantom” account whose results will match the result of the investments made by the Company. Each participant may so designate how his or her SERP balance is to be invested by the Company by selecting among the various investment options available to him or her as a participant in the Plan. If a participant does not notify Fidelity, the offeror of such various investment options, as to which investment options he or she selects, then such account balance will be invested in the Fidelity Freedom 2000 Fund or any successor to such fund, which is heavily invested in fixed income securities, or its successor.

2

SECTION 7. PAYOUT

     Upon the earlier of a participant’s Separation from Service or Disability (as those terms are defined below), the Company will become obligated to pay to the participant the entire vested balance in his or her account under the SERP and payout of such account will be made to the participant in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following the participant’s Disability or Separation from Service, as applicable; provided, however, that payment may be made at a later date for administrative reasons to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder; provided, further, that the participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the calendar year of the payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a participant is a Specified Employee (as defined below) as of the date of his or her Separation from Service, no payout on account of the participant’s Separation from Service may be made with respect to such participant before the date that is six months after the participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period, the date of the participant’s death). In such case, any payout that would be made within such six-month period will be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on the earliest business day that complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder. If a participant dies before payout of his or her vested account balance is made, the Company will pay the participant’s vested account balance to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing by the participant or, if none, to the participant’s Beneficiary as determined under the terms of the Plan.

     For purposes of the foregoing paragraph, the terms “Disability,” “Separation from Service” and “Specified Employee” have the following meanings:

     “Disability” means a disability which entitles a participant to benefits under the Company’s or an affiliate’s long-term disability insurance plan or program, provided that the participant also meets one of the following conditions:

          (a) the participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; or

          (b) the participant is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the participant’s employer.

     “Separation from Service” means a termination of services provided by a participant to his or her Employer (as defined below), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, as determined by the Company in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).  In determining whether a participant has incurred a Separation from Service, the following provisions shall apply:

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this definition, a Separation from Service will occur when the participant has experienced a termination of employment with the Employer.  A Participant will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the participant and his or her Employer reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services will be performed for the Employer after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona fide services the participant will perform for the Employer after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 33¹/₃ percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by the participant (whether

3

as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Employer if the participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months).

            If a participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, the employment relationship between the participant and the Employer will be treated as continuing, provided that the period of the leave of absence does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the participant has a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract.  If the period of a military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 months and the participant does not have a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be considered to be terminated for purposes of this SERP as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6-month period.  In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a leave of absence will be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the participant will return to perform services for the Employer.

            (b)        For a participant who provides services to an Employer as both an employee and an independent contractor, a Separation from Service generally will not occur until the participant has ceased providing services for the Employer both as an employee and as an independent contractor as determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this definition, respectively. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the case of an independent contractor a Separation from Service will occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed for the Employer, provided that the expiration of such contract or contracts is determined by the Company to constitute a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the participant and the Employer.  If a participant ceases providing services for an Employer as an employee and begins providing services for such Employer as an independent contractor, the participant will not be considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the participant has ceased providing services for the Employer in both capacities, as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this definition.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph, if a participant provides services for an Employer as both an employee and as a member of the board of directors of an Employer, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(5), the services provided by the participant as a director will not be taken into account in determining whether the participant has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee.

          (c) In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this definition, where as part of a sale or other disposition of substantial assets by an Employer to an unrelated buyer, a participant would otherwise experience a Separation from Service as defined above, the Employer and the buyer shall retain the discretion to specify, and may specify, that a participant performing services for an Employer immediately before the asset purchase transaction and providing services to the buyer after and in connection with the asset purchase transaction shall not experience a Separation from Service for purposes of the SERP and the participant shall be bound by same, provided that such transaction and the specification meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder.

          (d) For purposes of this definition, “Employer” means:

     (i) The entity for whom the participant performs services and with respect to

4

which the legally binding right to benefits under the SERP arises; and

     (ii) All other entities with which the entity described in subparagraph (d)(i) of this definition would be aggregated and treated as a single employer under Code Section 414(b) (controlled group of corporations) and Code Section 414(c) (group of trades or businesses under common control), as applicable. To identify the group of entities described in the preceding sentence, an ownership threshold of 50% shall be used as a substitute for the 80% minimum ownership threshold that appears in, and otherwise must be used when applying, the applicable provisions of (A) Code Section 1563 and the regulations thereunder for determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (B) Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 for determining the trades or businesses that are under common control under Code Section 414(c).

     “Specified Employee” means any participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined by the Company in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(i).

     Notwithstanding any provision of this SERP to the contrary, the Company, in its discretion, may (i) accelerate payout of a participant’s vested account balance in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv) or (ii) delay payout of a participant’s vested account balance under the circumstances described in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(7) provided that the Company treats all payouts to similarly situated participants on a reasonably consistent basis.

SECTION 8. VESTING

     Vesting of SERP balances will be identical to vesting of employer contributions to the Plan. Thus, if a terminated employee is only 60% vested in the Plan, the vesting in the SERP balance and accumulated earnings will also be 60%.

SECTION 9. NO LOANS OR WITHDRAWALS

     No participant will be entitled to borrow or withdraw early any part of his or her vested balance.

SECTION 10. MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERP

     The Company may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the SERP. However, the amount accrued in the account of a participant in the SERP will not be reduced. If the SERP is suspended or terminated, the amount accrued in each account but not paid to the participant will continue to accrue interest at a rate equal to 80% of the prime rate charged from time to time by Bank of America until payout of such sum to the participant.

     Following termination of the SERP, the amount credited to each participant’s account, including interest accruals as provided for in the preceding paragraph, will remain in the SERP and will not be distributed until such amounts become eligible for distribution in accordance with the other applicable provisions of the SERP. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix), the Company may distribute, upon termination of the SERP, all account balances of the participants, subject to and in accordance with any rules established by the Company deemed necessary to comply with the applicable requirements and limitations of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).
