            i.    $400,000 per year for the first 24 months. Such amounts shall
                  be paid as depicted on the schedule described in section 2. c.
                  iii. below.

            ii.   Until March 31, 2007 Centex Corporation shall provide Quinn

                  changes of general application in the programs which provide
                  such coverages to employees of Centex Corporation.

            iii.  Prior to the conclusion of fiscal year 2001 Quinn and Centex
                  Corporation agreed that, with respect to such year, payment of
                  Quinn's annual bonus and payment of cash to Quinn in lieu of
                  his annual stock option award would be deferred until April
                  2002, and such deferred payments would accrue interest at the
                  rate of 7% per annum. The parties further agreed that
                  commencing April 2002, for a period of five years, Centex
                  Corporation would make amortizing monthly payments to Quinn of
                  such deferred amounts, together with interest thereon at the
                  rate of 7% per annum.

                                                                               2
<PAGE>

                  As of the Effective Date the amount of such deferred bonus is
                  $2,889,000 and the amount of such deferred cash in lieu of
                  options is $1,797,600. Attached to this agreement is a
                  schedule which describes the dates and monthly payments of
                  said deferred amounts, and the consulting payments described
                  in section 2. c. i. above. Centex Corporation will make these
                  payments as scheduled, subject to all appropriate deductions.

            iv.   It is anticipated that Quinn will be awarded a bonus and cash
                  in lieu of stock option grant for the fiscal year concluded
                  March 31, 2002. Such awards will be determined and approved by
                  the Compensation Committee in its May 2002 meeting. Quinn had
                  elected, prior to March 31, 2002, to defer the receipt of such
                  bonus and cash in lieu of stock option grant for a period of
                  time not to exceed eighty-four (84) months from the Effective
                  Date. Interest will accrue on the amount of compensation so
                  deferred at the rate of 7% per annum commencing with the
                  Effective Date. Quinn may elect during any calendar year,
                  beginning in the calendar year 2002, to receive a distribution
                  of some portion or all of the deferred compensation, provided
                  that such distribution will not be made, or will not commence
                  if paid in installments, until the calendar year following the
                  year in which such election is made. In any case, any portion
                  of such deferred compensation not distributed to Quinn on or
                  before April 1, 2009 will automatically be distributed to
                  Quinn, whether or not he makes such election, within 30 days
                  following such date. Any distribution to Quinn will include
                  all interest accrued on the amount distributed.

            Quinn acknowledges and agrees that any liability or obligation of
            Centex Corporation to him under this Agreement will be based solely
            upon contractual obligations created in this Agreement, and no such
            liability or obligation of Centex Corporation shall be deemed to be
            secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of Centex
            Corporation.

      d.    Stock Options: Quinn and Centex Corporation are parties to three
            subsisting stock option agreements. As of April 1, 2002 all of such
            options will be vested except 33,600 shares under the option whose
            grant date is April 1, 1999 and whose option price is $36.06 per
            share and 67,200 shares under the option whose grant date is April
            1, 2000 and whose option price is $23.81 per share. These subsisting
            stock option agreements will remain in full force and effect and
            will not be altered in any manner by the terms of this Agreement.

                                                                               3

3.    CENTEX CORPORATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Quinn agrees to continue to serve
      as a member of the Board of Directors of Centex Corporation until the end
      of his term, which is set to expire at the annual stockholders meeting in
      2004. Following the conclusion of such term, Quinn will remain eligible
      for re-election to such Board. From and after the Effective Date, Quinn
      will receive standard directors' fees for his service as a Director of
      Centex Corporation.

4.    CXP BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Quinn agrees to continue to serve as a member of
      the Board of Directors of CXP without any additional compensation (other
      than as is provided for in Section 2.c. above), until the annual
      stockholders meeting of CXP to be held in July 2003, and if re-elected in
      2003, until the annual stockholders meeting to be held in July 2004.
      Thereafter, Quinn will be eligible for re-election to the Board of
      Directors of CXP but from and after the annual stockholders meeting in
      July 2004, if Quinn does continue to serve as a Director, he will be
      compensated like any other outside Director of CXP.

5.    COOPERATION ON LEGAL MATTERS. During the Consulting Period Quinn will
      cooperate with Centex Corporation on a reasonable basis, and at the
      reasonable convenience of Quinn, by providing Centex Corporation with
      whatever information Quinn may have, as requested by Centex Corporation
      from time to time, with regard to legal matters on which Quinn worked for
      Centex Corporation or its Affiliates which occurred prior to the
      commencement of the Consulting Period in order to aid Centex Corporation
      in the conduct of its business. However, any reasonable expenses incurred
      by Quinn in providing such cooperation will be reimbursed by Centex
      Corporation upon request therefor, provided the same were approved by
      Centex Corporation before being incurred.

6.    NON-COMPETE. During the period April 1, 2002 through March 31, 2004 Quinn
      will not engage in, or have an interest (as stockholder, director,
      officer, employee, agent, partner or otherwise) in any corporation,
      partnership, association, limited liability company or other entity that
      engages in any business activity in which Centex Corporation or any of its
      Affiliates is engaged at any time during said two year period. This
      restriction will not apply to ownership by Quinn of one percent or less of
      any class of equities, securities or one or more publicly traded entities
      or his participation or interest in any business activity that results in
      annual revenues to him or to any such entity of $500,000 or less.

7.    APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
      accord with the laws of the State of Texas. Should a court or other body
      of competent jurisdiction determine that any provision of this Agreement
      is excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such
      provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is
      enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and all other

                                                                               4

      provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the
      extent possible.

8.    BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
      the benefit of Centex Corporation and its Affiliates and Quinn, as well as
      their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
      However, except as provided in this Agreement, neither party may assign
      any rights hereunder nor delegate any duties hereunder without the prior
      written consent of the other, which consent will not be unreasonably
      withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between
      the parties respecting the subject matters contained herein and supersedes
      all other agreements, written or oral, respecting such subject matters.
      Quinn acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement supersedes in all
      respects that certain employment agreement made between Centex Corporation
      and Quinn in 1991, and waives and releases any and all claims he may have
      thereunder.

10.   NOTICE. Any notice to be given to Centex Corporation hereunder shall be
      deemed sufficient if addressed to Centex Corporation in writing and
      personally delivered or mailed by certified mail to its office at 2728
