        <footnote id="F1">As previously reported on Form 4 originally filed on February 13, 2008 by the reporting person, the reporting person was granted stock options to acquire 20,000 shares of D.R. Horton common stock.  Subsequently, the Company determined that this grant exceeded the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan's annual calendar limitation on the number of options that may be granted to non-employee directors by 10,000 shares and such portion of the grant is, acccordingly, null and void.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Date reflects one-year anniversary date from the date of the stock option grant.  The stock option grant was granted February 11, 2008, has a ten-year term and vests as to 20% of the option shares on the first five anniversary dates of February 11.  Accordingly, on February 11, 2009, the initial 20% or 2,000 options will vest.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">There was no &quot;price&quot; associated with this option grant other than the &quot;exercise price&quot; reported in column 2 to Table II.</footnote>
