                   CENTEX CORPORATION LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

                           (Effective October 1, 2001)

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 Code, 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 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.

                  determined by the Administrator in its sole and absolute
                  discretion (such determination by the Administrator to be
                  conclusively established by the grant of an Award by the

         to one or more employees of Centex Corporation the performance of
         non-discretionary functions under this Plan, including distributions of
         Payouts.

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 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
                  Expiration Date, subject to early Payout as described in
                  Section 8 below or forfeiture as described in Section 7 below.

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) Retirement of the Participant.

7.       FORFEITURE OF AWARDS. If a Participant's Employment is terminated, 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. Payouts will occur as follows:

         (a)      Automatic Payout on Expiration Date. To the extent that a
                  Participant's Award has vested, such Award shall have an
                  automatic Payout on the Expiration Date of such Award.

         (b)      Early Payouts. In addition to automatic Payout on the
                  Expiration Date, there may be an early Payout of the vested
                  portion of an Award as follows:


                                       4

<PAGE>




                  (i)      Termination of Employment (whether voluntary or
                           involuntary). The vested portion of each Award shall
                           have an automatic Payout on the Participant's
                           Termination Date.

                  (ii)     Death. If a Participant dies prior to the Expiration
                           Date, such Participant's Award, to the extent vested,
                           shall have an automatic Payout as of the date of the
                           Participant's death and be made to the Participant's
                           Beneficiary.

                  (iii)    Disability. Prior to the Expiration Date, an Award,
                           with the approval of the Administrator, shall both be
                           fully vested and have an automatic Payout on the date
                           the Participant satisfies the definition of
                           Disability.

                  (iv)     Early Payout Request. A Participant may request that
                           the Administrator consider an early Payout to him or
                           her with respect to any vested portion of an Award.
                           Such a request will be considered at the next
                           semi-annual meeting of the Administrator (held in May
                           and October of each calendar year). Such request
                           shall be in writing and will set forth, in sufficient
                           detail, the reasons for such early Payout. The
                           Administrator will consider such request during said
                           meeting and will, within thirty (30) days following
                           said meeting, determine in its sole and absolute
                           discretion whether to allow such early Payout, and
                           then notify the Participant of its decision.

9.       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. All
         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.

10.      DELIVERY OF SHARE CERTIFICATES. As promptly as may be practicable
         following a Payout, Centex Corporation shall make delivery of one or
         more Share certificates, 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 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 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)      If at any time while the Plan is in effect there shall be an
                  increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding
                  Shares of Centex Corporation effected without receipt of
                  consideration therefor by Centex Corporation, through the
                  declaration of a stock dividend or through any
                  recapitalization or merger or otherwise in which Centex
                  Corporation is the surviving corporation, resulting in a stock
                  split-up, combination or exchange of Shares of Centex
                  Corporation, then and in each such event an appropriate
                  adjustment shall be made automatically in the amount of
                  Deferred Stock then subject to an Award, to the end that the
                  same proportion of Centex Corporation's Shares which would
                  have been issued and outstanding assuming full Payout of such
                  Award as of the date of such increase or decrease shall in
                  each such instance remain subject to such Award.

                  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 (as
                  specified below), shall cause every Award then outstanding to
                  become fully vested


                                        6

                  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 vesting
                  contained in the Agreements if (and only if) such Awards have
                  not at that time expired or been terminated. For purposes of
                  this Section 13, 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 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.

                  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 Centex Corporation and its
                  Affiliates with respect to any Award 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 reasonable
                  time after such event.

14.      PLAN YEAR. The Plan 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


                                        7

<PAGE>




         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 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 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 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, as described in Section 13(b),each Company whose employees are
         Participants 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 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
         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.

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 nor any member of the
         Compensation and Stock Option Committee, acting in the capacity of
         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 shall be entitled to indemnification and
         reimbursement by Centex Corporation 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.

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.
