The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes and shall not apply to any other Securities that may have been or may hereafter be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.
Pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, there is hereby created and designated the Notes as a Series of Securities under the Base Indenture entitled 5.000% Senior Notes due 2034. The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and will mature and bear interest as provided in such form and have the other terms and conditions set forth therein, in this Supplemental Indenture and in the Base Indenture (to the extent not superseded hereby). The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at 5.000% per annum; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at 5.000% per annum. The Notes shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors as provided in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Trustee will initially be the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes, and DTC will initially be the Depositary for the Notes. The covenants provided in Article Three of this Supplemental Indenture are applicable (unless waived or amended as provided in the Base Indenture) so long as the Notes are outstanding or until defeasance or other discharge pursuant to the Base Indenture.

Additional Notes (the Additional Notes) in an unlimited amount may be issued in one or more issuances from time to time on the same terms and conditions, except for issue date, and if applicable, the issue price and the first interest payment, either of which may differ from the respective terms of the previously issued Notes of same Series, and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Notes offered hereby (to the extent permissible under applicable law) without the consent of Holders of the Notes, except that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The Notes initially issued hereunder and any such Additional Notes shall vote on all matters, and otherwise be treated as, a single Series for all purposes under the Indenture.
Section 1.02. Specified Modifications in Respect of the Notes.

(2) Section 7.05 of the Base Indenture shall apply in respect of the Notes; provided that the Trustee shall not have any discretion to withhold any notice of the Default with respect to any breach of Section 3.03 hereof, irrespective of any determination that withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes.
(3) Article Ten of the Base Indenture shall apply in respect of the Notes; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, any amendment or waiver of Section 3.03 hereof (prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event) will require consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes.
(4) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4 of the Notes.

In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

D.R. HORTON, INC.
5.000% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2034
D.R. HORTON, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the Company), issued this Security under an Indenture dated as of October 10, 2019 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the Base Indenture) by and between the Company and Truist Bank (formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company), as the trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 14, 2024 (the Supplemental Indenture and together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture), by and among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authorized and delivered. All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them therein.
1. | Interest. |
The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an Interest Payment Date), commencing April 15, 2025, until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from August 14, 2024, provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. | Method of Payment. |
The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on April 1 or October 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
3. | Paying Agent and Registrar. |
Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.
4. | Optional Redemption. |
Prior to July 15, 2034 (the Par Call Date), the Company may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a
A-3
percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date), on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (0.200%) less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
The Companys actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositarys procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security will state the portion of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Security upon surrender for cancellation of the original Security. For so long as the Securities are held by DTC (or another Depositary), the redemption of the Securities shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.
5. | Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. |
The Securities are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities by presentation of such Securities to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption or purchase, except the unredeemed or unpurchased part thereof if the Security is redeemed or purchased in part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or purchased.
6. | Persons Deemed Owners. |
The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
A-4
7. | Unclaimed Money. |
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.
8. | Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. |
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by the amendment and any past default or compliance with any provision relating to any Series of the Securities may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series. Without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities in certain respects as specified in the Indenture.
9. | Successor. |
When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under a Series of the Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.
10. | Trustee Dealings With Company. |
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee, including owning or pledging the Securities.
11. | No Recourse Against Others. |
A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
12. | Discharge of Indenture. |
The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to defeasance and discharge, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.
13. | Authentication. |
This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on this Security.
14. | Abbreviations. |
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gift to Minors Act).
A-5
15. | GOVERNING LAW. |
THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
16. | CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. |
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of repurchase as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made by the Company or the Trustee as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of repurchase and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
17. | Copies. |
The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and the applicable Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture. Requests may be made to: D.R. Horton, Inc., 1341 Horton Circle, Arlington, Texas 76011, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

19. | Defaults and Remedies. |
