                                 STOCK PURCHASE

              2.1   Sale and Delivery. At the Closing, on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth herein, the Sellers shall sell and deliver to Buyer
the Shares, and Buyer shall purchase and accept the Shares from the Sellers for
the consideration described in this Section 2.

              2.2   Closing Payment. At the Closing, Standard Pacific shall
cause the Buyer to:

                    (a) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (i)
         Nine Million Six Hundred Fifty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars
         ($9,655,800) to Larry Godwin and (ii) Four Million Three Hundred Forty
         Four Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($4,344,200) to Robert Godwin
         (equaling an aggregate total payment of $14 Million Dollars,
         collectively, the "Cash Payment"); and

                    (b) issue the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock
         calculated pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), 68.97% to Larry Godwin and
         31.03% to Robert Godwin (the "Stock Payment" and, collectively with the
         Cash Payment, the "Closing Payment"). The aggregate number of shares of
         Buyer Common Stock comprising the Stock Payment will be determined by
         dividing Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) by the average closing price
         of the Buyer common stock over the 10 day period ending three days
         prior to the Closing Date: provided, however, that in no event shall
         the price used for such purpose be less than $26 per share or more than
         $30 per share.

              2.3   Earnout.

              (a)   Standard Pacific shall cause Buyer to pay to each Seller his
Pro-Rata Portion of an aggregate amount equal to 20% of the positive Company
Pre-Tax Income for each of the three years ending December 31, 2003, 2004 and
2005 (each an "Earnout Payment" and collectively, the "Earnout"); provided,
however, that in no event will the aggregate amount of the Earnout exceed Seven
Million Dollars (the "Earnout Cap"). Said Earnout is deemed part of the Purchase
Price. If the amount of Company Pre-Tax Income is negative with respect to any
particular year, such negative amount shall be carried forward to the following
year and such negative amount shall be included in the calculation of the
Earnout Payment for such following year; provided, further, after calculation of
the Earnout Payment for such following year, if any negative amount carried
forward remains as of the end of such following year, that negative amount shall
be carried forward to subsequent years and included in the calculation of the
Earnout Payment for such subsequent years.

<PAGE>

              (b)  Not later than ten (10) days after the audit committee of the
Board of Director's of Standard Pacific approves Standard Pacific's year-end
financial statements, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to each Seller its
calculation of the Earnout Payment for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
Within 30 days following Buyer's notification to the Sellers of its calculation
of the applicable Earnout Payment, the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a notice
of objection signed by both Sellers (an "Objection Notice") or a notice of
acceptance signed by either Seller (an "Acceptance Notice") with respect to the
calculation of the Earnout Payment. Buyer shall provide the Sellers and their
accountants and other representatives, upon reasonable advance notice, access to
the books and records of the Company relating to the calculation of the Earnout
Payment as may be reasonably requested by the Sellers. Buyer's Calculation of
each Earnout Payment shall be final and binding on the parties if an Acceptance
Notice is delivered to Buyer or if no Objection Notice is delivered to Buyer
within such 30 day period. Any Objection Notice shall specify the items
disputed, shall describe the reasons for the objection thereof, shall state the
amount in dispute and shall state Sellers' calculation of the Earnout Payment.
If an Objection Notice is given, the Sellers and Buyer shall consult with each
other with respect to the objection. If the parties are unable to reach
agreement within 15 days after an Objection Notice has been given, any
unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to KPMG LLP, provided
however, if either of the parties has used the services of KPMG LLP at any time
in the six month period prior to such selection of an accounting firm, then the
unresolved items shall be promptly referred to such other accounting firm
mutually agreed to by the parties (KPMG LLP, if neither of the parties had used
KPMG LLP's services at any time during the six month period prior to KPMG LLP's
selection, or such other firm are referred to herein as the "Unrelated
Accounting Firm"). The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a
written report on the unresolved disputed issues as promptly as practicable (but
in no event later than 45 days following submission of the matter to the
Unrelated Accounting Firm) and to resolve only those issues of dispute set forth
in the Objection Notice. The resolution of the dispute by the Unrelated
Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses
of the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be borne equally between the Sellers and
Buyer; provided, however, that if the Earnout Payment calculated by one of the
parties (the "Differing Party") pursuant to this subsection differs from the
final determination of the Unrelated Accounting Firm by more than twenty percent
to the detriment of such Differing Party, then such Differing Party shall be
responsible for the payment of all of the fees and expenses of the Unrelated
Accounting Firm.

              (c)  If either Seller delivers to Buyer the Acceptance Notice
referred to in Section 2.3(b) or the Sellers fail to deliver an Objection Notice
within the 30 day period required by Section 2.3(b) with respect to any Earnout
Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers any amounts which Buyer's calculation
shall indicate to be owed to the Sellers within five Business Days after the
delivery of such Acceptance Notice or the expiration of such 30 day period, as
the case may be. Alternatively, if the Sellers deliver to Buyer the Objection
Notice referred to in Section 2.3(b), within five Business Days after such
delivery, Buyer shall pay the undisputed portion, if any, of the amount owed
and, within five Business Days after the resolution of any dispute by the
parties or the Unrelated Accounting Firm relating to the Objection Notice, Buyer
shall pay the remainder owed, if any. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.3
shall be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and shall be made in
immediately available funds. If Buyer has not delivered its calculation of the
Earnout Payment for any applicable fiscal

<PAGE>

year to the Sellers by January 31 of the following fiscal year, Buyer shall be
obligated to pay simple interest thereon at the rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum calculated beginning on February 1 of such following fiscal year and
ending on the day prior to the date of payment.

              (d)   From the Closing Date until January 1, 2006 (or until the
payment in full of the Earnout, if earlier), Standard Pacific:

              (i)  shall not, without the prior written consent of the Sellers,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, commingle
the business of the Company with any other division of Standard Pacific;
provided, however, that the Sellers acknowledge and agree that (A) Standard
Pacific may restructure the business of the Company into any number of separate
entities so long as such restructuring does not result in the commingling of the
business of the Company with any other division of Standard Pacific (all
reference to the Company in this Section 2.3 include the business of the Company
restructured as described in this Section 2.3(d)(i)) and (B) Standard Pacific
will sweep cash out of the Company in the manner that Standard Pacific sweeps
cash from Standard Pacific's other divisions (such swept cash to be treated as a
non-interest bearing intercompany receivable of the Company in the same manner
as Standard Pacific's other divisions);

              (ii) shall not burden the Company with debt incurred on behalf of
the operations of Standard Pacific other than the operations of the Company;
provided, however, that the Sellers acknowledge and agree that (A) the Company
will be a guarantor of various obligations of Standard Pacific, but any payments
made by the Company in respect of any guarantees will be disregarded for
purposes of calculating Company Pre Tax Income, (B) general corporate overhead
will be allocated to the Company in the same manner as such overhead is
allocated to Standard Pacific's other divisions from time to time, (C) the cost
of insurance will be allocated to the Company in the same manner as it is
allocated to Standard Pacific's other divisions based on claims history, product
type, volume and other relevant factors; and (D) intercompany interest will be
charged on qualified assets (as described in SFAS 34 "Capitalization of
Interest"), stale inventory, investments in joint ventures and on such other
assets as Standard Pacific may charge its other divisions from time to time.

              (iii) shall provide to the Company an amount of capital reasonably
necessary to accomplish the Company's business plan attached hereto as Exhibit G
(the "Business Plan"); provided, however, that the Sellers acknowledge and agree
that the Business Plan may be revised in such a manner so as to result in a
reduction in the amount of capital reasonably necessary to accomplish the
revised Business Plan either, (A) by the mutual agreement of Standard Pacific
and the Sellers, or (B) by Standard Pacific, acting alone, if the Company fails
to meet or exceed budgeted Company Pre-Tax Income as set forth in the Business
Plan for any particular year.

              2.4   Closing.

              (a)   The closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher

any of the Transaction Documents, the locations of real property leased by the

been given, nor have any of them received, any notice that a breach or an event

<PAGE>

to the knowledge of each Seller, LHL, HBG, Florida Pines and the Company, any
other Person with respect to any covenants, conditions, deeds, deeds of trust,
rights-of-way, easements, mortgages, restrictions, surveys, title insurance
policies, or other Contracts granting, constituting or evidencing a conveyance
by or to any of the Company, LHL, HBG or Florida Pines of title to or an

Pines. No condemnation, eminent domain, or similar proceeding exists, is pending
or, to the knowledge of each Seller, LHL, HBG, Florida Pines and the Company, is

building permit or certificate of occupancy), except for charges or assessments
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Company.

                  (c)      The real property of the Company and the real
property that is the subject of any of the Transaction Documents to be used for
homebuilding and any improvements located thereon conform, in all material
respects, to the appropriate Governmental Entity's standards. There is no
material impediment to the development of (or to approval for the development
of) undeveloped real property in the manner in which the Company currently
anticipates building thereon, nor are there any moratoriums on such development.

property that is the subject of any of the Transaction Documents has access to
streets, and is serviced, in all material respects, by all utilities, water and
other services, as is necessary to construct homes on such property, and such
utilities, water and other services are adequate for the current and intended
use of such property. The undeveloped real property of the Company and that is
the subject of any of the Transaction Documents has access to streets, and such
real property is serviced, in all material respects, by all utilities, water and
other services, as is necessary for the development thereof or such utilities,

others real or personal property are valid and effective in accordance with
their respective terms, and there is not under any of such leases, any existing
material default or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would constitute a default).

                  (e)      There are no material encroachments on the real
property owned, leased, under contract or optioned by the Company or the real
property that is the subject of any of the Transaction Documents, nor any
encroachments by improvements on such real property onto any easements or any
adjoining property or which would otherwise conflict with the property rights of
any other Person.

                  (f)      Except as set forth in Schedule 4.14(f) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule:

                           (i)     The Company has not developed, constructed or

         construct or otherwise participate in any real estate projects other
         than the projects identified on Schedule 4.14(a) or (f) of Company

         in a good and workmanlike manner, free from any defect or Lien, other
         than inchoate mechanics' liens for amounts not yet due. Each property

         Company has complied with all such laws in all material respects.

                           (iii)   The approvals, consents, licenses, permits,
         waivers or other authorizations issued, granted or otherwise made
         available by any Governmental Entity pertaining to the Projects
         (collectively, the "Entitlements"), and any Contracts (for example, and
         not in limitation, proffers and subdivision improvement agreements)
         executed in connection therewith, are in full force and effect and no
         party thereto is in default thereunder. All material Entitlements
         necessary or appropriate for the development and construction of the
         Projects are in full force and effect, without default, and are
         enforceable in accordance with Florida law. Neither the Company, nor to
         the knowledge of each Seller and the Company, the fee owner, if the
         Company is not the fee owner of any property involved in any of the
         Projects, is in default under, and the Company has not received any
         notice that any event has occurred which with the giving of notice or
         the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any
         Entitlements, transaction, covenant, condition, restriction, easement,
         encumbrance or other Contract pertaining to the property involved in
         any Project. All subdivision improvement bonds and other sureties or
         assurances relating in any way to any such property and required by any
         applicable Governmental Entity or pursuant to any Entitlements have
         been posted and are being maintained in accordance with the
         requirements of such applicable Governmental Entitles and/or
         Entitlements and no claim has been made thereunder or thereto.

                           (iv)    (A)   The Company is not obligated to pay nor
         is it otherwise subject to any monetary charges, assessments or fees
         imposed by any Governmental Entity or quasi-governmental entity (such
         as special districts, improvement districts or the like) in connection
         with receipt by the Company of the Entitlements or otherwise relating
         to the development or improvement of the Projects.

<PAGE>

                                   (B)     Except for obligations contained in
         the Contracts listed in Schedule 4.4(a) of the Company Disclosure
         Schedule, none of the Company, LHL, HBG or Florida Pines has any
         development or improvement obligations with respect to the Projects.

                           (v)     The Company (or to knowledge of each Seller
         and the Company, the fee owner, if the Company is not the fee owner)
         has not made any oral or, except for the Entitlements, written
         commitments or representations to, or understandings or Contracts with,
         any Person or any adjoining property owner which would in any way be
         binding on the Company and would interfere with the Company's ability
         to develop and improve any of the properties involved in the Projects
         with residential developments in accordance with the Entitlements, and
         neither the Company, nor the fee owner, shall make or enter into any
         such commitment, representations, understandings or Contracts without
         Buyer's written consent.

                           (vi)    No plated lot involved in the Projects is
         located in an area designated as having special flood hazards or
         designated as a wetland by the Army Corps of Engineers. No property
         involved in the Projects is located in an area that is designated, or
         in the process of being designated, as a critical habitat for any
         threatened or endangered species under the endangered Species Act of
         1973, as amended, or designated under any other law for the
         preservation of fish, wildlife, plants, insects, forests or wetlands,
         or for the preservation of any historical or archeological site under
         the National Historic Preservation Act of 1979, as amended, or
         designated under any other law, that would limit, impair, delay or
         prohibit the construction and development of the Project in accordance
         with the existing or proposed plans therefor.

                           (vii)   None of the Company, LHL, HBG or Florida
         Pines has received any notice from its insurance carriers of any
         defects or inadequacies in any of the properties involved in the
         Projects, or any portion thereof, which would adversely affect the
         insurability of any properties or the cost of any such insurance. There
         are no pending insurance claims with respect to any portion of any such
         properties.

                           (viii)  There are no soil conditions that would
         require construction of foundations different than those customarily
         built in residential projects in the areas in which the Projects are
         located, nor, any seismic safety problems relating to any of the
         properties involved in the Projects, any recent seismic activity
         affecting any such properties or any active fault bisecting, underlying
         or adjacent to any such properties. Each of the Company and its
         contractors have installed foundations appropriate and customary for
         the applicable soil conditions.

                           (ix)    All work performed with respect to the
         Projects has been approved by holders of security interests in the
         Projects to the extent required by the applicable Contracts.

         homes to buyers in the ordinary course of business, the Company has not
         assigned to any third party any of its

                  (g)      Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14(g) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, since December 31, 2001 no real property owned by
the Company or that is the subject of any of the Transaction Documents has
become subject to repurchase by any Person, whether as a result of the failure
of the Company or any other party to begin construction thereon or to complete
construction thereon within the time period required or otherwise.

                  (h)      The backlog of home sales of each of the Projects as
of the date of the Interim Statements is set forth in Schedule 4.14(h). All of
the home purchase Contracts representing the backlog of home sales set forth on
Schedule 4.14(h) have been incurred in the ordinary course of business. The
Sellers are not aware of any reason that the cancellation rates for such backlog
would be expected to exceed those experienced by the Company during the period
covered by the Financial Statements.

                  4.15     Intellectual Property.

                  (a)      Schedule 4.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets
forth a true and complete list of all patents, trademarks, trade names, service

(collectively, "Intellectual Property"), owned, used, filed by or licensed to
any of the Company, in each case which are, individually or in the aggregate,
material to the financial condition, operating results, assets or operations of
the Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.15 of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, the Company owns, free and clear of any and all Liens, or is licensed
or otherwise possess legally enforceable rights to use, without payment to any
other Person, all Intellectual Property that is used in the business of the
Company as currently conducted, except where the failure to own, be licensed or
to possess such rights would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not conflict with, alter or impair any such rights.

                  (b)      To the knowledge of each Seller and the Company, the
conduct of the business of the Company does not conflict with the valid
Intellectual Property rights of others and there are no conflicts with or
infringements of any of the Intellectual Property of the Company by any other
Person. No other Person has any rights in or right to use any of the
Intellectual Property owned by any of the Company.

                  4.16     Insurance.

or to any other Person for the benefit of the Company or with respect to the
properties that are the subject of any of the Transaction Documents (the
"Insurance Policies"). For each Insurance Policy, Schedule 4.16(a) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule lists (i) the names and addresses of the insurers,
(ii) the names of the Persons to whom such policies have been issued, (iii) the
expiration dates thereof, (iv) whether the policies are currently in effect, (v)
the annual premiums and payment terms thereof, (vi) whether it is a "claims
made" or an "occurrence" policy, (vii) any self insured retention or deductible,
(viii) the aggregate limit of the policy and the currently available limit, and
(ix) a brief description of the interests insured thereby. The Sellers have
provided Buyer with true, accurate and complete copies of each Insurance Policy.

                  (b) Schedule 4.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists
any Contract, other than a policy of insurance, for the transfer or sharing of
any risk by the Company; and all obligations of the Company to third parties
with respect to insurance (including such obligations under leases and service
agreements) and identifies the policy under which such coverage is provided.

                  (c) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16(c) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, (i) the insurance coverage provided by any of the Insurance
Policies will not terminate or lapse by reason of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, (ii) the Insurance Policies were placed (at the time of
placement and as of the date hereof) with insurers who are financially sound and
reputable and, in light of the respective business, operations and assets of the
Company, are or were in amounts and have or had coverages that are reasonable
and customary for Persons engaged in such businesses and operations and having
such assets; (iii) neither the Company, nor the Person to whom such policy has
been issued has received notice that any insurer under any Insurance Policy is
denying liability with respect to a claim thereunder or defending under a
reservation of rights clause, or, to the knowledge of either Seller and the
Company, indicated any intent to do so or not to renew any such policy; (iv) the
Insurance Policies are sufficient for compliance with all applicable laws and
Contracts to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and do not
provide for any retrospective premium adjustment or other experienced-based
liability on the part of the Company, (v) no side agreements or other Contracts
exist that alter the terms of the Insurance Policies, and (vi) none of the
liability Insurance Policies contain any mold, soils attached product or
completed operations exclusions from coverage.

                  (d) Each current Insurance Policy is valid and binding and in
full force and effect, no premiums due thereunder have not been paid and neither
the Company nor the Person to whom such policy has been issued has received any
notice of cancellation or termination in respect of any such policy or is in
default thereunder. Schedule 4.16(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains
a listing of all material open claims made or otherwise asserted by the Company
against any Insurance Policy. All material claims under the Insurance Policies
have been filed in a timely fashion. To the knowledge of each Seller and the
Company, the activities and operations of the Company have been conducted in a
manner so as to conform in all material respects to all applicable provisions of
the Insurance Policies. The Company has not failed to disclose any fact to the
insurance companies or failed to take any other action, the consequences of
which non-disclosure or failure to take action would render any Insurance Policy
void, or voidable, or suspend, impair or defeat in whole or in part such
insurance

<PAGE>

coverage. Neither of the Sellers nor the Company has received (A) any refusal of
coverage from any insurer from which the Company sought coverage, (B) any notice
that a defense will be afforded with reservation of rights, or (C) any notice of
cancellation or any other indication that any insurance policy is no longer in
full force or effect or will not be renewed or that the issuer of any policy is
not willing or able to perform its obligations thereunder

                  4.17     Assets Other than Real Property Interests.

                  (a)      The Company owns all material assets reflected on the
2001 Balance Sheet, or thereafter acquired, except those sold or otherwise
disposed of since December 31, 2001 in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice and not in violation of this Agreement, in each
case free and clear of all Liens except:

                           (i)     such Liens as are set forth in Schedule 4.17
         of the Company Disclosure Schedule;

         are not due and payable or which may thereafter be paid without
         penalty;

                           (iii)   mortgages, liens, security interests and
         encumbrances which secure debt that is reflected as a Liability on the
         2001 Balance Sheet or the existence of which is expressly indicated in
         the notes thereto; and

                           (iv)    other imperfections of title or encumbrances,
         if any, which, do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially
         impair the assets or the intended use thereof.

                  (b)      All the material tangible personal property of the
Company has been maintained in accordance with the past practice of the Company
and generally accepted industry practice and is in good operating condition and

Company include all of the properties and other assets necessary for the Company
to conduct its business in the manner presently conducted.

                  (c)      All of the books and records of the Company

                  4.18     Antitakeover Statutes. Florida Statute Section 6.07.
0902 (Control Share Acquisition Statute) does not apply to the transactions
contemplated herein and the Board of Directors of the Company is not required to
take any action under the terms thereof. No other "fair price", "moratorium",
"control share acquisition" or other similar antitakeover statute or regulation
under the laws of Florida is applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  4.19     Warranties. Schedule 4.19 of the Company Disclosure
Schedule sets forth complete and accurate copies of the written warranties and
guaranties by the Company

<PAGE>

currently in effect with respect to their respective products. There have not
been any material deviations from such warranties and guaranties, and neither
the Company, nor any of its salespersons, employees and agents is authorized to
undertake obligations to any customer or to other third parties in excess of
such warranties or guaranties. Neither the Company, nor any of its salespersons,
employees and agents has made any oral warranty or guaranty with respect to the
products of the Company. The reserve for warranty costs included in the 2001
Balance Sheet and the Interim Statements sets forth the reasonable judgment of
management of the Company of the estimate of the aggregate liability (whether
accrued, absolute or contingent) of the Company in respect of warranty
obligations.

          4.20.  Suppliers and Subcontractors. The documents and information

additional information reasonably requested by the Sellers. Each Seller hereby
acknowledges and affirms that it has relied solely on the representations of
Buyer made in Section 5 of this Agreement and not on any other representations

representations and warranties and indemnities made by Buyer hereunder.
Notwithstanding any "due diligence" investigations made by the Sellers, no
information shall be deemed to have been disclosed for purposes of the
representations and warranties made in Section 5 by Buyer unless contained in
the Buyer Disclosure Schedule.

               (a) Company employees shall be entitled to employee benefits that
are substantially equivalent to those provided to similarly situated employees
of Standard Pacific. Such benefits shall be provided though Company Benefit
Plans, Standard Pacific benefit plans, Buyer benefit plans, or a combination of
the foregoing, as determined by Standard Pacific after consultation with the
Company. Following the Closing, Standard Pacific shall cause Standard Pacific or
Buyer to recognize each continuing Company employee's years of service with the
Company prior to the Closing Date for determining the level of benefits to be
provided under applicable vacation plans and policies and for eligibility and
vesting determinations under any applicable 401(k) plan. For purposes of this
section 6.6, "continuing Company employee" means an employee of the Company as
of the Closing Date. Unless Buyer and the Sellers otherwise agree in writing,
Buyer shall cause the Company to maintain in full force and effect, until
January 31, 2003, the medical and dental plans of the Company as such plans
exist on the Closing Date.

               (b) Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 is intended to confer
upon any Company employee any right to continued employment or any right to
wages or benefits at any time after the Closing Date.

               6.7 Third Party Offers.

               (a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier
of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, each of the Sellers, their
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives
(including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant)
and agents shall immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any
parties with respect to any Third Party Acquisition, and neither of the

<PAGE>

Sellers, nor any of their Affiliates shall, nor shall either Seller authorize or
permit any of its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees,
representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney
or accountant) or agents to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit,
participate in or initiate any inquiries, discussions or negotiations with or
provide any information or access to any Person concerning any potential Third
Party Acquisition or that may reasonably be expected to lead to any Third Party
Acquisition or attempted Third Party Acquisition, or otherwise facilitate any
effort or attempt to make or implement a Third Party Acquisition. Each Seller
shall promptly communicate to Buyer the existence or occurrence and the terms of
any potential Third Party Acquisition or contact related to any potential Third
Party Acquisition that Sellers, the Company or any of their Affiliates, or their
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents, receive in
respect of such a proposed transaction, and the identify of the Person from whom
such proposal or contact was received.

          (b)  "Third Party Acquisition" means the acquisition by a Person or
group, other than Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, of more than ten percent, in
a single transaction or series of transactions, of the Capital Stock or the
assets of the Company, whether by sale of Capital Stock, sale, lease or other
disposition of assets, merger or otherwise.

          (c)  The Sellers represent and warrant to Buyer that each of the
Sellers and his Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney
or accountant) or agents have terminated any and all existing discussions with
third parties relating to a Third Party Acquisition.

          6.8  Restrictive Covenants.

          (a)  Non-Competition. The Sellers recognize that the covenants of each
Seller contained in this Section 6.8(a) (the "Covenant Not to Compete") are an
essential part of this Agreement and that but for the agreement of each Seller
to comply with such covenants Buyer and Standard Pacific would not enter into
this Agreement. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Covenant Not to
Compete is necessary to protect the Business acquired by Buyer, including
without limitation, goodwill, and that irreparable harm and damage will be done
to Buyer and Standard Pacific if any Seller competes with Buyer in any way
prohibited by the Covenant Not to Compete. In addition, the Sellers acknowledge
that the Purchase Price is consideration for professional relationships and
marketplace reputation developed by the Company and the Sellers and the Covenant
Not to Compete is necessary for Buyer and Standard Pacific to receive the full
benefit of this Agreement. After the Closing, each Seller shall not
individually, or in concert, directly or indirectly:

               (i)  engage or become interested in, as owner, employee, partner,
through equity ownership (not including up to a 1% passive equity interest in a
public company), investment of capital, lending of money or property, rendering
of services, or otherwise, either alone or in association with others, any
business competitive with the Business (including within the definition of the
Business, without limitation, any business of the type or types conducted by the
Company at any time during the two (2) year period preceding the Closing Date or
under development by the Company on the Closing Date),

<PAGE>

              (ii)  take any action intended to advance an interest of any
competitor of the Business, or encourage any other person to take such action;
or

              (iii) take any material action intended to cause any customer or
prospective customer to use the services or purchase the products of any
competitor of the Business.

          This Covenant Not to Compete shall be limited to any county or any
other political subdivision of the state of Florida where the Company generated
revenue at any time during the two (2) year period preceding the Closing Date.
This Covenant Not to Compete shall bind each Seller for the five (5) year period
immediately following the Closing Date, provided however, that if the employment
of any Seller is terminated by Buyer without cause, then after termination of
such Seller's employment with the Company, such Seller will no longer be subject
to the covenants contained in Sections 6.8(a)(i) and (ii). The parties hereto
agree that the duration and area for which the Covenant Not to Compete set forth
in this Section 6.8(a) is to be effective are reasonable.

         (b)  Non-Diversion. For five (5) years following the Closing Date, each
of the Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, divert or
attempt to divert or take advantage of or attempt to take advantage of any
actual or potential business or opportunities of Buyer or its Affiliates of
which any of the Sellers become aware which relate to the Business, or any part
thereof and which are located in any county or any other political subdivision
of the State of Florida where the Company generated revenue at any time during
the two (2) year period preceding the Closing Date. This Section 6.8(b) is in
addition to and not by way of limitation of any other duties the Sellers may
have to Buyer or its Affiliates.

         (c)  Non-Recruitment. For a period of four (4) years from the Closing,
the Sellers shall not, and the Sellers shall cause each of their Affiliates not
to, directly or indirectly:

              (i)   perform any action, activity or course of conduct consisting
         of or encouraging the following: (A) soliciting, recruiting or hiring
         any employees of the Company; (B) soliciting or encouraging any
         employee of the Company to leave the employment of the Company; and (C)
         disclosing or furnishing to anyone any confidential information
         relating to the Company or otherwise using such confidential
         information for Seller's own benefit or the benefit of any other
         Person; and

              (ii)  solicit or encourage any contractor, subcontractor or other
         supplier of the Company to terminate or adversely alter in any
         material respect any relationship such supplier, may have with any of
         the Company, Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer or any of their
         successors.

         (e)  Remedies. The covenants contained in this Section 6.8 impose a
reasonable restraint on the Sellers in light of the activities and business of
the Company and future plans of Buyer. The Sellers acknowledge that if they
violate any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.8 (collectively, the
"Restrictive Covenants"), it will be difficult to determine the resulting
damages to Buyer and, in addition to any other remedies Buyer may have, Buyer
shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief without being required to post
a bond and permanent injunctive relief

<PAGE>

without the necessity of proving actual damages. Each Seller shall be severally
liable to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, that
Buyer may incur in enforcing or defending, to any extent, any of the Restrictive
Covenants breached by such Seller, whether or not litigation is actually
commenced and including litigation of any appeal defended by Buyer where such
party succeeds in enforcing any of the Restrictive Covenants. Buyer may elect to
seek one or more remedies at its discretion on a case by case basis. Failure to
seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict Buyer from seeking any
remedies in another situation. Such action by Buyer shall not constitute a
waiver of any of its rights.

              (f)   Severability and Modification of any Unenforceable Covenant.
Each of the Restrictive Covenants will be read and interpreted with every
reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, if any term,
provision or condition of the Restrictive Covenants is held by a court or
arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions
thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated. If a court or arbitrator should determine any of the
Restrictive Covenants are unenforceable because of over-breadth, then the court
or arbitrator shall modify such covenant so as to make it enforceable to the
fullest extent the court or arbitrator deems reasonable and enforceable under
the prevailing circumstances. The Covenant Not to Compete shall be deemed to be
a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county or other political
subdivision of the State of Florida where the Covenant Not to Compete is
intended to be effective. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 6.8
shall automatically toll and suspend the five year period set forth in Section
6.8(a) and the four year period set forth in Section 6.8(c) for the duration of
such violations.

              (g)   Nothing contained in this Section 6.8 is intended to confer
upon either Seller any right to continued employment or any right to wages or
benefits at any time after the Closing Date. Each Seller expressly acknowledges
that such Seller's employment with the Company will be "at-will" which means
that the Company will have the right to terminate either Seller's employment
with the Company at any time and for any reason, with or without cause or
notice, without payment, penalty or further obligation; provided, however, that
any such termination of employment will in no way affect Buyer's obligations to
make any Earnout Payment.

              6.9   Company Directors. The Sellers shall cause each of Larry
Godwin and Robert Godwin to resign from his osition on the Company's Board of
Directors effective as of the Closing Date.

              6.10  Corporate Actions.

              (a)   Corporate Dividend. Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall
cause the Company to declare and pay a dividend (the "Corporate Dividend") on
the Shares in the amount of $2,459,939, which amount is an estimate of
Stockholder's Equity as of the Closing Date. The dividend shall be distributed
in the form of a promissory note to each stockholder of the Company representing
such stockholder's pro-rata share of the Corporate Dividend. Buyer shall,
immediately following the Closing, cause the Company to repay the promissory
notes in full.

              (b)   Adjustment. If payment of the Corporate Dividend does not
result in the Stockholder's Equity being equal to zero on the Closing Date, an
adjustment payment shall be

<PAGE>

made as described below. Such adjustment shall provide for (i) a pro-rata
payment to the Sellers of the amount by which the Stockholder's Equity is
greater than zero as of the Closing Date or (ii) a payment by the Sellers to
Buyer in the event the Stockholder's Equity is less than zero as of the Closing
Date. The net adjustment shall be referred to herein as the "Stockholder's
Equity Adjustment Amount" and shall be calculated and paid by the owing party as
set forth in this Section 6.10.

              (c)  Within 90 days following the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and
deliver to the Sellers its calculation of the Stockholder's Equity Adjustment
Amount. Within 30 days following Buyer's notification to the Sellers of its
calculation of the Stockholder's Equity Adjustment Amount, the Sellers shall
deliver to Buyer a notice of objection signed by both Sellers (a "Stockholder's
Equity Objection Notice") or a notice of acceptance signed by either Seller (a
"Stockholder's Equity Acceptance Notice") with respect to the calculation of the
Stockholder's Equity Adjustment Amount. Buyer shall provide the Sellers and
their accountants and other representatives, upon reasonable advance notice,
access to such books and records of the Company relating to the calculation of
the Stockholder's Equity Adjustment Amount as may be reasonably requested by the
Sellers. Buyer's Calculation of the Stockholder's Equity Adjustment Amount shall
be final and binding on the parties if a Stockholder's Equity Acceptance Notice
is delivered to Buyer or if no Stockholder's Equity Objection Notice is
delivered to Buyer within such 30 day period. Any Stockholder's Equity Objection
Notice shall specify the items disputed, shall describe the reasons for the
objection thereof, shall state the amount in dispute and shall state Sellers'
calculation of the Stockholder's Equity Adjustment Amount. If a Stockholder's
Equity Objection Notice is given, the Sellers and Buyer shall consult with each
other with respect to the objection. If the parties are unable to reach
agreement within 15 days after a Stockholder's Equity Objection Notice has been
given, any unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to KPMG LLP,
provided however, if either of the parties has used the services of KPMG LLP at
any time in the six month period prior to such selection of an accounting firm,
then the unresolved items shall be promptly referred to an Unrelated Accounting
Firm. The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report
on the unresolved disputed issues as promptly as practicable (but in no event
later than 45 days following submission of the matter to the Unrelated
Accounting Firm) and to resolve only those issues of dispute set forth in the
Stockholder's Equity Objection Notice. The resolution of the dispute by the
Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees
and expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be borne equally between the
Sellers and Buyer; provided, however, that if the Stockholder's Equity
Adjustment Amount calculated by one of the parties (the "Differing Party")
pursuant to this subsection differs from the final determination of the
Unrelated Accounting Firm by more than twenty percent to the detriment of such
Differing Party, then such Differing Party shall be responsible for the payment
of all of the fees and expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm.

              (c)  If either Seller delivers to Buyer the Stockholder's Equity
Acceptance Notice referred to in Section 6.10(b) or the Sellers fail to deliver
a Stockholder's Equity Objection Notice within the 30 day period required by
Section 6.10(b), either Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall pay to
the other party any amounts which Buyer's calculation shall indicate to be owed
to the other party within five Business Days after the delivery of such
Stockholder's Equity Acceptance Notice or the expiration of such 30 day period,
as the case may be. Alternatively, if the Sellers deliver to Buyer the
Stockholder's Equity Objection Notice

<PAGE>

referred to in Section 6.10(b), within five Business Days after such delivery,
the owing party shall pay the undisputed portion, if any, of the amount owed
and, within five Business Days after the resolution of any dispute by the
parties or the Unrelated Accounting Firm relating to the Stockholder's Equity
Objection Notice, the owing party shall pay the remainder owed, if any. Any
payment pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be made in immediately available
funds.

                  6.11     Securities Restrictions.

                  (a)      Neither of the Sellers shall, without the prior
written consent of Buyer (which consent may be withheld in Buyer's sole
discretion), (i) directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any
option to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge, transfer,
establish an open "put equivalent position" within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise dispose of any Buyer
Common Stock acquired by such Sellers in connection with this Agreement, or (ii)
enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any
of the economic consequences of ownership of any Buyer Common Stock acquired by
such Sellers in connection with this Agreement (whether any such transaction
described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Buyer
Common Stock, other securities, cash or otherwise), or publicly announce his
intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period commencing on the Closing
Date and continuing through the close of trading on the date that is the second
anniversary of the Closing Date. The Sellers acknowledge and consent to the
entry of stop transfer instructions with the Buyer's transfer agent and
registrar against the transfer of shares of Buyer Common Stock held by each
Seller except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

                  (b)      In addition to the contractual restrictions on
transfer set forth in Section 6.11(a), the Buyer Common Stock (or interests
therein) held by the Sellers cannot be offered, sold or transferred unless such
Buyer Common Stock is registered and qualified under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration and
qualification requirements are available, or such registration and qualification
requirements are inapplicable, as reflected in an opinion of counsel to any
transferring Seller in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. In
the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares or an
available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Shares must
be held indefinitely, and may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that rule are met. The
Sellers acknowledge that they will not have any right to demand registration of
any of the Buyer Common Stock held by them, or to participate in any
registration of Buyer Common Stock undertaken by Standard Pacific.

                  (c)      The certificates issued to the Sellers representing
the Buyer Common Stock will bear a legend to the effect set forth below, and
appropriate stop transfer instructions against the Shares will be placed with
any transfer agent of Buyer to ensure compliance with the restrictions set forth
herein.

                  "THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT
BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED
UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH

<PAGE>

ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS STANDARD PACIFIC CORP.
HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES OR OTHER
EVIDENCE, SATISFACTORY TO STANDARD PACIFIC CORP. AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT,
PLEDGE, MORTGAGE, HYPOTHECATION, ENCUMBRANCE, GIFT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE
SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS RESTRICTED BY AN AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE
OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF STANDARD PACIFIC CORP."

                  6.12     Warranty Indemnification. The Sellers, for a period
of five (5) years following the Closing Date, subject to a maximum out-of-pocket
liability of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the "Maximum Warranty Amount"),
shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Standard
Pacific, Buyer and the Company for any Liability incurred by such Persons as a
result of Warranty Claims that relate to real property developed or homes sold
or constructed by the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date, to
the extent that such Liabilities exceed the sum of (i) the warranty reserve on
the financial statements of the Company as of the Closing Date, which amount
shall be mutually agreed by the parties at the Closing, and calculated in
accordance with GAAP and consistent with the standards, principles, practices
and policies used in connection with the Financial Statements, and (ii) U.S.
$100,000 (the "Warranty Threshold"). The indemnity described in the immediately
preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, all costs and
out-of-pocket expenses and a reasonable allocation of labor costs for persons
performing or directly overseeing the work Buyer deems reasonably necessary to
address such Warranty Claims. Sellers acknowledge that the Maximum Warranty
Amount is exclusive of all insurance proceeds, meaning that Sellers shall be
obligated to pay up to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in Warranty Claims that
are not paid by insurance and that exceed the Warranty Threshold. Sellers shall
be obligated to promptly pay to Buyer the amount of all Warranty Claims in
excess of the Warranty Threshold irrespective of whether such amounts may be
potentially covered by insurance. If an amount initially paid by the Sellers
with respect to a Warranty Claim is later reimbursed by applicable insurance,
Standard Pacific shall cause Buyer to promptly reimburse Sellers for such
payment and the reimbursed payment will not count against the Maximum Warranty
Amount. If at any time Seller's no longer continue to serve as officers of the
Company, Standard Pacific shall cause the Company to provide written notice to
the Sellers of all Warranty Claims reasonably expected to result in settlement
and/or repair expenses in excess of $25,000. The Company shall take reasonable
actions to defend all Warranty Claims and to seek recovery with respect to such
claims under applicable insurance policies in effect immediately prior to the
Closing. The Sellers, at their sole expense, shall have the right to participate
in the defense of all Warranty Claims; provided, however, that the Company shall
have the sole right to control the defense and settlement of each such Warranty
Claim.

                  6.13     Insurance Rights and Indemnification. The Sellers
shall use their best efforts to cause Buyer and the Company to be named as an
additional insured as of the Closing (in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer
with applicable deductibles to be paid by Buyer or the Company) on all insurance
policies of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates that cover any of the
Liabilities of the Company arising with respect to acts or omissions on or prior
to the Closing Date, except to the extent such Liabilities are retained by the
Sellers pursuant to Section 7.2(a). In the event that the Sellers are unable to
add Buyer and the Company as an additional insured

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Sellers shall afford the benefits of such
insurance rights to Buyer and the Company with respect to such Liabilities.

                  6.14     Release of Guaranties or Indemnification.

                  (a) Larry Godwin has executed certain guaranties solely for
the purpose of guaranteeing the payment by the Company (or certain entities
acquiring land for the benefit of the Company) of certain amounts owed by the
Company (or certain entities acquiring land for the benefit of the Company)
(each a "Guaranty" and collectively, the "Guaranties"). Set forth in Schedule
6.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, with respect to each Guaranty, is the
other party thereto, the entity that is the beneficiary of the Guaranty and the
amount guaranteed. The Sellers acknowledge that to the extent Larry Godwin has
entered into any guaranty that is not solely for the benefit of the Company such
guaranty will not be considered a Guaranty for purposes hereof and Buyer will
have no obligation to release or indemnify Larry Godwin with respect to such
guaranty.

                  (b) Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause Larry Godwin
to be released, as of the Closing Date, from any and all obligations under the
Guaranties. In the event that Buyer is unable to obtain a full and complete
release of Larry Godwin from any Guaranty, Standard Pacific shall cause Buyer to
indemnify Larry Godwin from any Damages Larry Godwin suffers or incurs to the
extent arising from any claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, based
on actions or events after the Closing relating to such Guaranty, and shall
execute and deliver to Larry Godwin such other agreements or documents as
reasonably requested by Larry Godwin to properly evidence such indemnification
obligation.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                            SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

         7.1      Survival of Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive for two
years following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.4, 4.2, 4.3, 4.8,
4.9, 4.11 and 4.12 shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations
period.

         7.2      Indemnification.

                  (a)  The Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify
Standard Pacific, Buyer, their Affiliates (including the Company following the
Closing) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
stockholders, agents and representatives against and hold them harmless from any
loss, liability, diminution in value, claim, damage or expense (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively "Damages") suffered or
incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising from (i) any breach
of any representation or warranty of either Seller contained in this Agreement,
or contained in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or any breach of any
representation or warranty of LHL, HBG or Florida Pines in the Transaction
Documents; (ii) any breach of any covenant of the Sellers contained in this
Agreement or any breach of any covenant of LHL, HBG or Florida Pines contained
in the Transaction Documents; (iii) the business and operations of any business
owned or operated by

<PAGE>

either of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company)
whether before or after the Closing Date; (iv) any Warranty Claims relating to
homes sold by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, to the extent such
Damages exceed the Warranty Threshold and subject to the Maximum Warranty
Amount; and (v) any transaction between the Company and/or either of the Sellers
and either of Melissa Meloon or Douglas "Chip" Shively involving any Capital
Stock of the Company. The express written waiver by Buyer and Standard Pacific
of any condition set forth in Section 9.2 based on the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty, or on the nonperformance of or noncompliance with
any covenant or obligation, will not preclude any right of Buyer or Standard
Pacific to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such
representation, warranty, covenant, and obligation.

                  (b)      Buyer and Standard Pacific shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify the Sellers and their Affiliates and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and
representatives against and hold them harmless from any Damages suffered or
incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising from (i) any breach
of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or
contained in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; (ii) any breach of any
covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement, and (iii) any claim made under
any Contract disclosed in Schedule 5.4 for brokerage, commission, finders' fee
or any similar compensation. The express written waiver by the Sellers of any
condition set forth in Section 9.3 based on the inaccuracy of any representation
or warranty, or on the nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or
obligation, will not preclude any right of Sellers to indemnification, payment
of Damages, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant,
and obligation.

                  7.3      Time Limitations. Neither the Buyer and Standard
Pacific, nor the Sellers will have any liability (for indemnification or
otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement, other than those in Sections 3.1, 3.4, 4.2, 4.3, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11, and
4.12, unless on or before two years following the Closing Date, the party
seeking indemnification notifies the party or parties from which it is seeking
indemnification in writing of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis
of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party. A
claim with respect to Section 3.1, 3.4, 4.2, 4.3, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11 or 4.12 may be
made at any time prior to 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute
of limitations period.

                  7.4      Other Limitations.

                  (a)      The Sellers will have no liability (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in Section
7.2(a)(i) (except for matters arising under Section 3.4 or Section 4.9 to which
the threshold described in this Section 7.4(a) shall be inapplicable) until the
total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $100,000 (it being
agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of determining whether
the foregoing $100,000 threshold has been exceeded in the aggregate, the
representations and warranties of the Sellers contained herein shall not be
deemed qualified by any references herein to materiality generally or to whether
any such breach results or may result in a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company), and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $100,000.

<PAGE>

                  (b)      Buyer and Standard Pacific will have no liability
(for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in
Section 7.2(b)(i) (except for matters arising under Section 5.4 to which the
threshold described in this Section 7.4(b) shall be inapplicable) until the
total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $100,000 (it being
agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of determining whether
the foregoing $100,000 threshold has been exceeded in the aggregate, the
representations and warranties of Buyer and Standard Pacific contained herein
shall not be deemed qualified by any references herein to materiality generally
or to whether any such breach results or may result in a Material Adverse Effect
on Buyer or Standard Pacific), and then only for the amount by which such
Damages exceed $100,000.

                  7.5      Set-Off. In addition to any rights of set-off,
off-set or other rights that Buyer or Standard Pacific may have at common law,
by statute or otherwise, Buyer and Standard Pacific shall have the right to
set-off any amount that Buyer or Standard Pacific would otherwise be required to
pay to either Seller against any amounts owing from the Sellers to Buyer
pursuant to this Section 7; provided, however, that notwithstanding Buyer or
Standard Pacific's exercise of the right to set-off described in this Section
7.5, Buyer, Standard Pacific and the Sellers shall remain obligated to comply
with their respective obligations described in Section 7.6. Standard Pacific
shall cause the Buyer to provide written notice to the Sellers of the nature and
reason for any set-off that occurs pursuant to this Section 7.5.

                  7.6      Procedures Relating to Indemnification Involving
Third Party Claims.

                  (a)      In order for a party to be entitled to any
indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of
or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the indemnified party
(a "Third Party Claim"), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying
party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim within 10
Business Days after receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the
Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification
shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the
indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such
failure (except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses
incurred during the period in which the indemnified party failed to give such
notice). Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying
party, within five Business Days after the indemnified party's receipt thereof,
copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the
indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim. In the event the provisions
of Section 8.4 are inconsistent with any provision of this Article VII, the
provisions of Section 8.4 shall control with respect to the contest of tax
matters.

                  (b)      If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified
party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense
thereof and, if it promptly so chooses and acknowledges its obligation to
indemnify the indemnified party therefore, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided that such counsel is not
reasonably object to by the indemnified party. Should the indemnifying party so
elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred
by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the
indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the
right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel

<PAGE>

(not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party), at its own expense,
separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being
understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense.

                  (c)      The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees
and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party in connection with a
Third Party Claim for any period during which the indemnifying party has failed
to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time
the indemnified party shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as
provided above). In connection with any Third Party Claim, the indemnified
parties and the indemnifying party shall cooperate with in the defense or
prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the
indemnified or indemnifying party's request) the provision to such party of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim,
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

                  (d)      If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the
defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any
settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim which the
indemnifying party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the
indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with
such Third Party Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in
connection with such Third Party Claim and which would not otherwise adversely
affect the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall not have assumed
the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may settle, compromise
or discharge, such Third Party Claim in good faith without the indemnifying
party's prior consent.

                  (e)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party
shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall
be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the
indemnified party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim
seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than
money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party
reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be
separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or
other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for
money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of
the portion relating to money damages. All claims under Section 7.2 (a) other
than Third Party Claims shall be governed by Section 7.7.

                  7.7      Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party
should have a claim for Damages against any indemnifying party under Section
7.2(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or
sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall
deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying
party. The failure by any indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to
such indemnified party under Section 7.2(a), except to the extent that the
indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced by such
failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within
10 calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying
party disputes its Liability to the indemnified party under Section 7.2(a), such
claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively
deemed a liability

<PAGE>

of the indemnifying party under Section 7.2(a) and the indemnifying party shall
pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the
case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is
estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion
thereof) becomes finally determined. If the indemnifying party has timely
disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall proceed in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through
negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate
court of competent jurisdiction.

         7.8 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Should the Closing occur, (i) Buyer and
Standard Pacific's sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants of the Sellers under this Agreement and
any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (other than claims of or
causes of action arising from fraud), shall be the remedies provided in this
Article VII and Article VIII, and Buyer and Standard Pacific hereby waive, from
and after the Closing, any and all other remedies (other than claims of or
causes of actions arising from fraud) which may be available at law or equity
for any breach or alleged breach of representations and warranties of the
Sellers hereunder, and (ii) the Sellers' sole and exclusive remedies for any
breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of Buyer and Standard
Pacific under this Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant to this
Agreement (other than claims of or causes of action arising from fraud), shall
be the remedies provided in this Article VII and Article VIII, and each of the
Sellers hereby waive, from and after the Closing, any and all other remedies
(other than claims of or causes of actions arising from fraud) which may be
available at law or equity for any breach or alleged breach of representations
and warranties of Buyer and Standard Pacific hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                   TAX MATTERS

     8.1 Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

         (a) The parties intend that the acquisition by Buyer of the stock of
the Company qualify as a "qualified stock purchase" under Section 338 of the
Code. At Buyer's request, the Sellers shall join Buyer in making a timely
election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any comparable election under
state or local law with respect to the acquisition of the Shares acquired
pursuant to this Agreement (the "Section 338(h)(10) Election"). Buyer and
Sellers shall be jointly responsible for the preparation and filing of all forms
that are necessary to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including without
limitation an IRS Form 8023. Buyer and Sellers shall execute and timely file IRS
Forms 8023 and all other forms, returns, elections, schedules and documents
required to effect and preserve timely the Section 338(h)(10) Elections. After
the Closing Date, each party shall cooperate with the other and shall take all
actions reasonably requested by the other to assure timely and accurate filing
of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

         (b) In connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election, Buyer shall
reasonably determine, and the Sellers shall accept if reasonable, the fair
market values of the assets and liabilities deemed purchased for purposes of the
computation of the Aggregate Deemed Sale Price (as defined under applicable
Treasury Regulations) of the assets of the

<PAGE>

Company with respect to which a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made and the
allocation of such Aggregate Deemed Sale Price among such assets (the
"Allocation Agreement") in accordance with Section 338 of the Code (the
"Valuations"). Buyer and the Sellers agree to act, and to cause their respective
Affiliates to act, in accordance with the allocations contained in the
Allocation Agreement in any relevant Tax Returns or similar filings.

         (c) The Sellers and Buyer agree that, except as required by a final
determination with any tax authority, they will report, and will cause their
respective Affiliates to report, the transfers under this Agreement consistent
with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and will not take, or cause to be taken,
any action in connection with the filing of any Tax Return on behalf of the
Sellers, Buyer, or their Affiliates or otherwise that would be inconsistent with
or prejudice the Section 338(h)(10) Election or the Allocation Agreement, and
they will take all steps necessary to obtain comparable treatment, where
applicable, for state income Tax purposes.

         (d) In the event a Section 338(h)(10) election is made, Buyer agrees to
pay to the Sellers an amount in cash such that the after-tax amount received by
the Sellers from this transaction as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election
equals the after-tax amount that the Sellers would have received as a result of
this transaction if the 338(h)(10) Election had not made (the "Gross-Up
Amount"). The Gross-Up Amount shall be computed assuming each Seller is taxable
at the maximum marginal federal tax rate applicable in 2002. Buyer shall provide
to the Sellers the initial computation of the Gross-Up Amount within a
reasonable time following the Closing Date. The Sellers shall have the right to
review and comment on such computations and, in the event the parties are unable
to resolve any differences, they shall appoint an Unrelated Accounting Firm to
finally resolve such differences and the Gross-Up Amount as so resolved shall be
paid to the Sellers five (5) days prior to the due date of Taxes (including
payments of estimated Taxes) resulting from the making of the 338(h)(10)
Election. The parties agree that any amounts paid by Buyer to the Sellers
hereunder shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price. The parties
further agree that all Tax Returns of the Company and the Sellers shall be
prepared in a manner consistent with the computations that form the basis for
the calculation of the Gross-Up Amount, and further agree not to take any
position inconsistent with such calculations.

         (e) In the event the allocation set forth in the Allocation Agreement
changes as a result of a tax determination, accounting determination or
otherwise, or if any other item changes that affects the Gross-Up Amount, the
parties shall recalculate the Gross-Up Amount (the "Redetermined Gross-Up
Amount"). If the Redetermined Gross-Up Amount exceeds the Gross-Up Amount, Buyer
shall pay such excess to the Sellers and if the Redetermined Gross-Up Amount is
less than the Gross-Up Amount, the Sellers shall pay such excess to Buyer. Any
payments made pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall be treated by the parties as
adjustments to the Purchase Price.

     8.2 Indemnification Obligations With Respect to Taxes.

         (a) The Sellers shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Buyer from and against:

<PAGE>

                   (i)   all Taxes of the Company that are due with respect to
          periods customers or key ending on or prior to the Closing Date
          including, without limitation, any Taxes resulting from the Corporate
          Dividend;

                   (ii)  all Taxes of the Company that are due with respect to
          periods ("Straddle Periods") that include but do not end on the
          Closing Date to the extent attributable to the portion of the Straddle
          Period ending at the close of business on the Closing Date;

                   (iii) all losses resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach
          of the representations and warranties with respect to tax matters that
          are contained in Section 4.8 or in this Article 8 and any covenants
          contained in this Agreement with respect to tax matters (without
          giving effect to any supplement to the Company Disclosure Schedule
          delivered after the date hereof), or contained in any certificate
          delivered pursuant hereto ; and

                   (iv)  all losses imposed on or sustained by the Buyer or its
          Affiliates (including Company after the Closing Date), directly or
          indirectly, by reason of or in connection with the foregoing amounts.

               (b) The Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify,
defend  and hold harmless the Sellers from and against:

                   (i)   all Taxes of the Company that are due with respect to
          periods commencing after the Closing Date;

                   (ii)  all Taxes of the Company that are due with respect to
          Straddle Periods to the extent attributable to the portion of the
          Straddle Period commencing with the Closing Date;

                   (iii) all losses resulting from any breach of any covenants
          of Buyer contained in this Agreement with respect to tax matters or
          contained in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto; and

                   (iv)  all losses imposed on or sustained by the Sellers or
          their Affiliates, directly or indirectly, by reason or in connection
          with the foregoing amounts.

               (c) For purposes of this Article VIII, whenever it is necessary
to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period, the
determination of the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and
including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing
Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two
taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and
the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date,
and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, and state and local
apportionment factors of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Straddle
Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a
"closing of the books basis" by assuming that the books of the Company and its
Subsidiaries were closed at the close of the Closing Date. However, (i)
exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis,
such as the deduction for depreciation and;

<PAGE>

(ii) periodic taxes such real and personal property taxes shall be apportioned
ratably between such periods on a daily basis.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
(including provisions set forth in Section 7.4 of this Agreement), the
obligations of the Sellers and Buyer under this Article VIII shall be
unconditional and absolute, shall not be limited, shall not be subject to a
deductible, threshold, cap, or similar concept, and shall remain in effect until
ninety (90) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation
as to time.

     8.3 Tax Returns and Payment Responsibility.

         (a) The Sellers will be responsible for and will cause to be prepared
and duly filed (i) all Tax Returns of the Company that are due before the
Closing Date and (ii) all Tax Returns of the Company that are income Tax Returns

pay any Taxes due in respect of the Tax Returns described in the preceding
sentence. Buyer shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns with

Sellers pursuant to this paragraph. Without affecting the indemnification
obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, in the event that the Sellers
fail to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed any Tax Return that
it is required to file to pursuant to this Paragraph, Buyer shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to prepare and file all such Tax Returns at their
expense. The Sellers shall pay by wire transfer to Buyer the Taxes for which
they are liable pursuant to this Article VIII (including Taxes set forth in
Section 8.2(a)(i) and (ii)), but which are payable with Tax Returns to be filed
by Buyer pursuant to this section at least three days prior to the due date for
the payment of such Taxes.

         (b) All Tax Returns that are to be prepared and filed by Buyer pursuant
to the preceding paragraph and that relate to Taxes for which the Sellers are
liable under this Article VIII (including Straddle Period Tax Returns) shall be
submitted to the Sellers not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date
for filing of such Tax Returns (or if such due date is within 45 days following
the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date). The
Sellers shall have the right to review such Tax Returns and to review all work
papers and procedures used to prepare any such Tax Return. If the Sellers,
within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any such Tax Return, notifies
Buyer in writing that it objects to any of the items in such Tax Return, the
parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute and, if they are
unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time,
taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return) by an
internationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen by both the Buyer
and the Sellers. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return
shall be filed on that basis. The costs, fees and expenses of such accounting
firm shall be borne equally by the Buyer and the Sellers.

         (c) Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit Company to) amend,
refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation
with respect to) any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to Company with
respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or
with respect to any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the
Sellers, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Sellers
shall not amend, refile, or otherwise modify any such Tax Return if such action
could have an

<PAGE>

adverse affect on the liability of Company any Taxes for the post-closing
portion of a Straddle Period or for any Taxes for a taxable year or period
beginning after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the
Buyer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         (d) All sales, use, transfer and other similar Taxes, including any
stock or asset transfer stamp Taxes shall be borne jointly and severally by the
Sellers.

     8.4 Contest Provisions.

         (a) In the event (i) either Seller or their Affiliates or (ii) Buyer or
its Affiliates receive notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or
assessments or other disputes concerning Taxes with respect to which the other
party may incur liability under this Article VIII, the party in receipt of such
notice shall promptly notify the other party of such matter in writing, provided
that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect a party's right to
indemnification hereunder unless such failure materially adversely affects the
party's ability to challenge such Tax audits or assessments.

         (b) The Sellers shall have the sole right to represent the interests of
the Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to
any Tax for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and to
employ counsel of their choice at their expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Sellers shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after
the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes with respect to any Separate
Return which would adversely affect the liability for Taxes of Buyer or the
Company for any period after the Closing Date to any extent (including, but not
limited to, the imposition of income Tax deficiencies, the reduction of asset
basis or cost adjustments, the lengthening of any amortization or depreciation
periods, the denial of amortization or depreciation deductions, or the reduction
of the loss or credit carry forwards) without the prior written consent of
Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such consent shall
not be necessary to the extent that the Sellers have indemnified Buyer against
the effect of any such settlement.

         (c) Buyer shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the
Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes
with respect to taxable periods including (but not ending on) or beginning after
the Closing Date and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense, provided
that Buyer shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the
commencement of litigation, any claim regarding Taxes that would adversely
affect the liability of Sellers for any Taxes for any period ending on or before
the Closing Date or for any Straddle Period, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall not be required to the extent that Buyer has
indemnified Sellers against the effects of such settlement. Where consent to a
settlement is withheld by the Sellers pursuant to this section, the Sellers may
continue or initiate any further proceedings at its own expense, provided that
the liability of the Buyer, after giving effect to this Agreement, shall not
exceed the liability that would have resulted from the settlement or amended
return.

     8.5 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, Sellers, on the one
hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall (and shall cause their respective
Affiliates to): (a) assist the other party in preparing and filing any Tax
Returns or reports which such other party is responsible for preparing and
filing in accordance with this Article; (b) cooperate fully in

<PAGE>

preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any
Tax Returns of the Company; (c) make available to the other and to any taxing
authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents
relating to Taxes of the Company; (d) provide timely notice to the other in
writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments of the Company

and (e) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any
taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with
respect to any such taxable period.

     8.6  Retention of Records. After the Closing Date, the Sellers and Buyer
(including the Company) will preserve all information, records or documents
relating to liabilities for Taxes the Company until six months after the
expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (including extensions
thereof) with respect to the assessment of such Taxes, provided that neither
party shall dispose of any of the foregoing items without first offering such
items to the other party.

     8.7  Other Provisions. The provisions of this Article VIII (and not Section
7.2) shall govern all indemnity claims with respect to Tax matters of the
Company and the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. All indemnity
payments under this Agreement and any adjustment to any Earnout Payment as
described in Section 2.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price
paid for the Shares for tax purposes.

mutual written consent of the Sellers, Buyer and Standard Pacific.

     10.2  Termination by Either Buyer or Sellers. This Agreement may be
terminated and the Stock Purchase may be abandoned at any time prior to the
Closing Date by either Standard Pacific and Buyer or the Sellers if any Order
permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Stock Purchase
or the acquisition by Colony Communities of any of the real property that is the
subject of the Transaction Documents shall be entered and such Order is or shall
have become nonappealable, provided that (i) the party seeking to terminate this
Agreement shall have complied with its obligations under Section 6. 2 with
respect to the removal or lifting of such Order and (ii) the noncompliance with
this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall not have
been the proximate cause of the issuance of the Order.

     10.3  Termination by Sellers. This Agreement may be terminated and the
Stock Purchase may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, by the
Sellers if:

           (a)  (i)  the Stock Purchase shall not have been consummated on or

                (ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.3 shall

     provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to

breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any
manner that shall have proximately contributed to the failure referenced in this
subsection (a); or

           (b)  there has been a material breach by Buyer or Standard Pacific of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement

<PAGE>

or, if curable, is not cured prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days after written
notice of such breach is given by the Sellers to Buyer and Standard Pacific and
(ii) the date referred to in subsection (a).

     10.4  Termination by Buyer. This Agreement may be terminated and the Stock
Purchase may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date by Buyer and

           (a)  (i)  the Stock Purchase shall not have been consummated on or

     10.5  Effect of Termination. Each party's right of termination under this
Article X is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or

remedies. If this Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the
parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the confidentiality
obligations described in Section 12 of the Letter of Intent between the Company,
the Sellers and Standard Pacific, dated April 3, 2002 (the "Confidentiality
Agreement") will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is
terminated by a party because of the breach of the Agreement by the other party
or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations
under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure
to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's
right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the provisions of the
Confidentiality Agreement not inconsistent herewith. Except for express
representations, warranties and covenants of Standard Pacific, Buyer, and the

          (b)  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder will be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each other
party hereto; provided, however, that Buyer may assign all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Standard
Pacific without the consent of the Sellers (which such assignment shall not
relieve the Buyer of any obligation or liability under this Agreement); provided
that such assignee shall have:

               (i)   assumed all obligations of Buyer set forth in this
     Agreement,

               (ii)  made the representations and warranties contained in
     Article V hereof,

               (iii) provided to the Sellers appropriate evidence of the
     representation set forth in Section 5.6, and

               (iv)  provided a Buyer's Disclosure Schedule covering matters in
     Article V which is reasonably acceptable to the Sellers.

          (c)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     11.2 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this

of this Agreement, each of which shall remain in full force and effect and in
lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be automatically
added as part of this Agreement a valid and enforceable provision as similar in
terms to the invalid or unenforceable provision as possible, provided that this
Agreement as amended, (i) reflects the intent of the parties hereto, and (ii)
does not change the bargained for consideration or benefits to be received by
each party hereto.

                             STANDARD PACIFIC CORP.
                (as amended and restated effective May 15, 2002)

SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF PLAN

     The purpose of this 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (this "Plan") of Standard
Pacific Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is to enable the Company
and its subsidiaries to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers and
other employees, and to further align the interests of such persons with those
of the stockholders of the Company by providing for or increasing the
proprietary interest of such persons in the Company.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

     2.1 Composition of Committee. This Plan shall be administered by a
         ------------------------
committee of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more directors, each of
whom is: (i) a "Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), as such rule may be amended from time to time, and (ii) an "Outside
Director" as defined in the regulations adopted under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as such Code provision
is amended from time to time (the "Committee"), as appointed from time to time
by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall fill vacancies on, and
from time to time may remove or add members to, the Committee. The Committee
shall act pursuant to a majority vote or unanimous written consent. The Board of
Directors, in its discretion, may exercise any authority of the Committee under
this Plan in lieu of the Committee's exercise thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to any Award (as defined in Section 5.1) that is not
intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the Committee may appoint one or more separate
committees (any such committee, a "Subcommittee") composed of one or more
directors of the Company (who may but need not be members of the Committee) and
may delegate to any such Subcommittee(s) the authority to grant Awards under the
Plan to Eligible Persons (as defined in Section 4), to determine all terms of
such Awards, and/or to administer the Plan or any aspect of it. Any action by
any such Subcommittee within the scope of such delegation shall be deemed for
all purposes to have been taken by the Committee. The Committee may designate
the Secretary of the Company or other Company employees to assist the Committee
in the administration of the Plan, and may grant authority to such persons to
execute agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan or
other documents entered into under this Plan on behalf of the Committee or the
Company.

     2.2 Powers of the Committee. Subject to the express provisions of this
         -----------------------
Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary
or desirable, in its discretion, in connection with the administration of this
Plan, including, without limitation, the following:

          (a) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
     this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein; provided that,
     unless the Committee

<PAGE>

     shall specify otherwise, for purposes of this Plan (i) the term "fair
     market value" shall mean, as of any date, the closing price for a Share (as
     defined in Section 3.1) reported for that date by the New York Stock
     Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares
     are then listed or quoted) or, if no Shares are traded on the New York
     Stock Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system) on the
     date in question, then the closing price for the next preceding date for
     which Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other stock
     exchange or quotation system); and (ii) the term "Company" shall mean the
     Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, unless the context otherwise
     requires;

          (b) to determine which persons are Eligible Persons, to which of such
     Eligible Persons, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing
     of any such Awards, and to grant Awards;

          (c) to determine the number of Shares subject to Awards and the
     exercise or purchase price of such Shares;

          (d) to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any
     performance goals applicable to Awards;

          (e) to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other
     documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan (which need not be
     identical);

          (f) to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are
     required pursuant to Section 10;

          (g) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations
     under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted
     hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions in good faith and
     for the benefit of the Company; and

          (h) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for
     the administration of this Plan.

     2.3 Determinations of the Committee. All decisions, determinations and
         -------------------------------
interpretations by the Committee regarding this Plan shall be final and binding
on all Eligible Persons and Participants (as defined in Section 4). The
Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant to making such
decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the
recommendations or advice of any director, officer or employee of the Company
and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

SECTION 3. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

     3.1 Aggregate Limits. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's
         ----------------
common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Shares"), issued pursuant to all Awards
granted under this Plan shall not exceed 2,500,000 plus the number of shares
subject to awards that are cancelled, expire or forfeited under the Company's
1991 Employee Stock Incentive Plan and 1997 Stock Incentive Plan after the
expiration date of such plans; provided that no more than 10% of such Shares may
be issued pursuant to all Incentive Stock Awards (as defined in Section 5.1)
granted under this

                                       2

<PAGE>

Plan. Such limits shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10. The
Shares issued pursuant to this Plan may be Shares that either were reacquired by
the Company, including Shares purchased in the open market, or authorized but
unissued Shares.

     3.2 Tax Code Limits. The aggregate number of Shares subject to Options
         ---------------
granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Eligible Person
shall not exceed 300,000. The aggregate number of Shares issued or issuable
under all Awards granted under this Plan, other than Options, during any
calendar year to any one Eligible Person shall not exceed 150,000.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the foregoing Share
limitations shall be subject to adjustment under Section 10 only to the extent
that such adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify
as "performance based compensation" under Code Section 162(m). The foregoing
limitations shall not apply to the extent that they are no longer required in
order for compensation in connection with grants under this Plan to be treated
as "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m). The aggregate
fair market value (as of the date of grant) of Shares for which one or more
Options granted by the Company to any one Eligible Person under this Plan, or
any other plan of the Company, may for the first time become exercisable as ISOs
during any one calendar year shall not exceed the maximum value permitted under
Code Section 422, and the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the
exercise of ISOs granted under this Plan shall not exceed 2,500,000, which
number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3 and Section 10
only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the
status of any option intended to qualify as an ISO under Code Section 422.

     3.3 Issuance of Shares. For purposes of Section 3.1, the aggregate number
         ------------------
of Shares issued under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of
Shares actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award and shall not
include Shares subject to Awards that have been canceled, expired or forfeited
or Shares subject to Awards that have been delivered to the Company in payment
or satisfaction of the purchase price, exercise price or tax withholding
obligation of an Award.

SECTION 4. PERSONS ELIGIBLE UNDER PLAN

     Any person who is an employee or prospective employee of the Company or of
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and any director of the Company who is not
an employee shall be eligible to be considered for the grant of Awards hereunder
(an "Eligible Person"). A "Participant" is any current or former Eligible Person
to whom an Award has been made and any person (including any estate) to whom an
Award has been assigned or transferred pursuant to Section 9.1.

SECTION 5. PLAN AWARDS

     5.1 Award Types. The Committee, on behalf of the Company, is authorized
         -----------
under this Plan to enter into certain types of written arrangements with
Eligible Persons and to confer certain benefits on them. The following
arrangements or benefits are authorized under this Plan if their terms and
conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan: Options,
Incentive Bonuses and Incentive Stock. Such arrangements and benefits are
sometimes referred

                                       3

to herein as "Awards." The authorized types of arrangements and benefits for
which Awards may be granted are defined as follows:

          (a) Options: An option is a right granted under Section 6 (an
     "Option") to purchase a number of Shares at such exercise price, at such
     times, and on such other terms and conditions as are specified in the
     agreement or terms and conditions or other document evidencing the Award
     (the "Option Document"). Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock
     Options ("ISOs") pursuant to Code Section 422 and Options not intended to
     qualify as ISOs ("Nonqualified Options") may be granted under Section 6.

          (b) Incentive Bonus: An incentive bonus is a bonus opportunity awarded
     under Section 7 (an "Incentive Bonus") pursuant to which a Participant may
     become entitled to receive an amount based on satisfaction of such
     performance criteria as are specified in the agreement or other document
     evidencing the Award (the "Incentive Bonus Document").

          (c) Incentive Stock: Incentive stock is an award or issuance of Shares
     made under Section 8 ("Incentive Stock"), the grant, issuance, retention,
     vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods
     of time to such conditions (including continued employment or performance
     conditions) and terms as are expressed in the agreement or other document
     evidencing the Award (the "Incentive Stock Document").

     5.2 Grants of Awards. An Award may consist of one such arrangement or
         ----------------
benefit or two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative.

SECTION 6. OPTIONS

     The Committee may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option,
either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically
upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the
achievement of performance goals, the satisfaction of an event or condition
within the control of the recipient of the Award or within the control of
others.

     6.1 Option Document. Each Option Document shall contain provisions
         ---------------
regarding (a) the number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the
Option, (b) the purchase price of the Shares and the means of payment for the
Shares, (c) the term of the Option, (d) such terms and conditions of
exercisability as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, (e)
restrictions on the transfer of the Option and forfeiture provisions and (f)
such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan
as may be determined from time to time by the Committee. Option Documents
evidencing ISOs shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to
qualify, to the extent determined desirable by the Committee, with the
applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

     6.2 Option Price. The purchase price per share of the Shares subject to
         ------------
each Option granted under this Plan shall equal or exceed 100% of the fair
market value of such Shares on the date the Option is granted, except that (a)
the exercise price of an Option may be higher or lower in the case of Options
granted to an employee of a company acquired by the Company in

                                       4

<PAGE>

assumption and substitution of options held by such employee at the time such
company is acquired ("Substitution Options"), (b) if an Eligible Person is
required to pay or forego the receipt of any cash amount in consideration of
receipt of an Option, the exercise price plus such cash amount shall equal or
exceed 100% of the fair market value of such Stock on the date the Option is
granted, and (c) in the case of ISO grants, the purchase price per share of the
Shares subject to each Option granted under this Plan shall equal or exceed 110%
of the fair market value of such Shares on the date the Option is granted, for
Options granted to an individual who, at the time the Option is granted to such
individual under this Plan, owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company.

     6.3 Option Term. The term of each Option granted under this Plan, including
         -----------
any ISOs, shall be 10 years from the date of its grant, unless the Committee
provides for a shorter period.

     6.4 Option Vesting. Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable at
         --------------
such time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of
the Option's term as determined by the Committee, except that no Option other
than non-employee director options and Substitution Options shall first become
exercisable within one (1) year from its date of grant, other than upon death or
disability of the Eligible Person or upon a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 11.2). The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the
ability to exercise any Option granted under this Plan subject to such
performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Committee. Subject to the
limitation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.4, at any time
after the grant of an Option the Committee may reduce or eliminate any
restrictions surrounding any Participant's right to exercise all or part of the
Option.

     6.5 Termination of Employment or Service. Subject to Section 11, upon a
         ------------------------------------
termination of a Participant's employment prior to (i) the full vesting of an
Option, the unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited, unless the
Committee in its discretion determines otherwise and (ii) any unexercised
Options shall be subject to such procedures as the Committee may establish.

     6.6 Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option shall be
         -------------------------
paid in the form of one of more of the following, as the Committee shall
specify, either through the terms of the Option Document or at the time of
exercise of an Option: (a) cash or certified or cashiers' check, (b) shares of
capital stock of the Company that have been held by the Participant for such
period of time as the Committee may specify, (c) other property deemed
acceptable by the Committee, (d) a reduction in the number of Shares or other
property otherwise issuable pursuant to such Option or (e) any combination of
(a) through (d).

     6.7 No Option Repricing. Without the approval of stockholders, the Company
         -------------------
shall not reprice any Options. For purposes of this Plan, the term "reprice"
shall mean lowering the exercise price of previously awarded Options within the
meaning of Item 402(i) under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K
(including canceling previously awarded Options and regranting them with a lower
exercise price).

                                       5

SECTION 7. INCENTIVE BONUSES

     Each Incentive Bonus Award will confer upon the Participant the opportunity
to earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to one or
more performance criteria established for a specified performance period.

     7.1 Incentive Bonus Document. Each Incentive Bonus Document shall contain
         ------------------------
provisions regarding (a) the target and maximum amount payable to the
Participant as an Incentive Bonus, (b) the performance criteria and level of
achievement versus the criteria that shall determine the amount of such payment,
(c) the term of the performance period as to which performance shall be measured
for determining the amount of any payment, (d) the timing of any payment earned
by virtue of performance, (e) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the
Incentive Bonus prior to actual payment, (f) forfeiture provisions and (g) such
further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as
may be determined from time to time by the Committee. The maximum amount payable
as an Incentive Bonus may be a multiple of the target amount payable, but the
maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of an Incentive Bonus Award
granted under this Plan for any fiscal year to any Participant that is intended
to satisfy the requirements for "performance based compensation" under Code
Section 162(m) shall not exceed $5,000,000.

     7.2 Performance Criteria. The Committee shall establish the performance
         --------------------
criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the
target and maximum amount payable under an Incentive Bonus Award, which criteria
may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations.
The Committee may specify the percentage of the target Incentive Bonus that is
intended to satisfy the requirements for "performance-based compensation" under
Code Section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
performance criteria for any portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by
the Committee to satisfy the requirements for "performance-based compensation"
under Code Section 162(m) shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying
Performance Criteria (as defined in Section 9.2) selected by the Committee and
specified at the time the Incentive Bonus Award is granted. The Committee shall
certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been
satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment of any
Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for
"performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m).

     7.3 Timing and Form of Payment. The Committee shall determine the timing of
         --------------------------
payment of any Incentive Bonus. The Committee may provide for or, subject to
such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify, may permit a Participant
to elect for the payment of any Incentive Bonus to be deferred to a specified
date or event.

     7.4 Discretionary Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any
         -------------------------
performance goals, the amount paid under an Incentive Bonus Award on account of
either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may be reduced
by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee
shall determine.

     7.5 Termination of Employment. Subject to Section 11, upon a termination of
         -------------------------
employment by a Participant prior to the vesting of or the lapsing of
restrictions on Incentive

                                       6

<PAGE>

Bonuses, the Incentive Bonus Awards granted to such Participant shall be
forfeited, unless the Committee in its discretion determines otherwise.

SECTION 8. INCENTIVE STOCK

     Incentive Stock is an award or issuance of Shares the grant, issuance,
retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified
periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment and/or
performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate.

     8.1 Incentive Stock Document. Each Incentive Stock Document shall contain
         ------------------------
provisions regarding (a) the number of Shares subject to such Award or a formula
for determining such, (b) the performance criteria, if any, and level of
achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares
granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (c) the period, if any, as to which
performance shall be measured for determining achievement of performance or, if
not subject to performance criteria, the period of continued employment upon
which vesting of the Shares is subject, which period in any case (except in the
event of death or disability of the Participant or upon a Change of Control)
shall be not less than one year, (d) forfeiture, (e) transferability and (f)
such further terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be
determined from time to time by the Committee.

     8.2 Sale Price. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the
         ----------
Committee shall determine the price, if any, at which Shares of Incentive Stock
shall be sold or awarded to an Eligible Person, which may vary from time to time
and among Eligible Persons and which may be below the fair market value of such
Shares at the date of grant or issuance.

     8.3 Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of
         --------------------
each Share of Incentive Stock may but need not be subject to such performance
criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria as the Committee shall
determine, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal
performance evaluations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
performance criteria for any Incentive Stock that is intended to satisfy the
requirements for "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m)
shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected
by the Committee and specified at the time the Incentive Stock Award is granted.
To the extent necessary to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code
Section 162(m), the Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying
Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result
thereof, prior to issuance or vesting, as applicable, of any Incentive Stock
that is intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation.

     8.4 Discretionary Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any
         -------------------------
performance goals, the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or
vested under an Incentive Stock Award on account of either financial performance
or personal performance evaluations may be reduced by the Committee on the basis
of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine.

     8.5 Termination of Employment. Subject to Section 11, upon a termination of
         -------------------------
employment by a Participant prior to the vesting of or the lapsing of
restrictions on Incentive

                                       7

<PAGE>

Stock, the unvested Incentive Stock Awards granted to such Participant shall be
forfeited, unless the Committee in its discretion determines otherwise.

SECTION 9. OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

     9.1 Transferability. Unless the agreement or other document evidencing an
         ---------------
Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly states
that the Award is transferable as provided hereunder, no Award granted under
this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed,
gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner, other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may grant an
Award or amend an outstanding Award to provide that the Award is transferable or
assignable to a member or members of the Participant's "immediate family," as
such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) under the Exchange Act, or to a trust for
the benefit solely of a member or members of the Participant's immediate family,
or to a partnership or other entity whose only owners are members of the
Participant's immediate family, provided that following any such transfer or
assignment the Award will remain subject to substantially the same terms
applicable to the Award while held by the Participant, as modified as the
Committee shall determine appropriate, and the transferee shall execute an
agreement agreeing to be bound by such terms.

     9.2 Qualifying Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term
         -------------------------------
"Qualifying Performance Criteria" shall mean any one or more of the following
performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination,
applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary,
either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured over a
specified time period, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established
target, to previous years' results or to a designated comparison group, in each
case as specified by the Committee in the Award: (a) cash flow, (b) earnings per
share, (c) earnings before any one or more of interest, taxes and amortization,
(d) return on equity, (e) total stockholder return, (f) return on capital, (g)
return on assets or net assets, (h) revenue, (i) income or net income, (j)
operating income or net operating income, (k) operating profit or net operating
profit, (l) operating margin or profit margin, (m) return on operating revenue,
(n) market share, (o) overhead or other expense reduction, or (p) any other
similar performance criteria. Prior to the grant of an Award, the Committee
shall determine whether or not it shall appropriately adjust any evaluation of
performance under the applicable Qualifying Performance Criteria with respect to
an Award to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance
period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or
settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or
other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for
reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) any extraordinary
non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30
and/or in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations appearing in the Company's annual report to stockholders
for the applicable year.

     9.3 Dividends. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no adjustment
         ---------
shall be made in Shares issuable under Awards on account of cash dividends that
may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Shares prior to
their issuance under any Award. The Committee shall specify whether dividends or
dividend equivalent amounts shall be paid to any Participant with respect to the
Shares subject to any Award that on the record date for such dividends have not
vested or been issued or that are subject to any restrictions or conditions.

                                       8

<PAGE>

     9.4 Documents Evidencing Awards. The Committee shall, subject to applicable
         ---------------------------
law, determine the date an Award is deemed to be granted, which for purposes of
this Plan shall not be affected by the fact that an Award is contingent on
subsequent stockholder approval of this Plan. The Committee or, except to the
extent prohibited under applicable law, its delegate(s) may establish the terms
of agreements or other documents evidencing Awards under this Plan and may, but
need not, require as a condition to any such agreement's or document's
effectiveness that such agreement or document be executed by the Participant and
that such Participant agree to such further terms and conditions as specified in
such agreement or document. The grant of an Award under this Plan shall not
confer any rights upon the Participant holding such Award other than such terms,
and subject to such conditions, as are specified in this Plan as being
applicable to such type of Award (or to all Awards) or as are expressly set
forth in the agreement or other document evidencing such Award.

     9.5 Tandem Stock or Cash Rights. Either at the time an Award is granted or
         ---------------------------
by subsequent action, the Committee may, but need not, provide that an Award
shall contain as a term thereof, a right, either in tandem with the other rights
under the Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to receive,
without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash or a combination
thereof, the amount of which is determined by reference to the value of the
Award.

     9.6 Financing. The Committee may in its discretion provide financing to a
         ---------
Participant in a principal amount sufficient to pay the purchase price of any
Award and/or to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld with
respect to any Award. Any such loan shall be subject to all applicable legal
requirements and restrictions pertinent thereto, including without limitation,
Regulation U promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. Neither the prior
financing of another Participant, nor the grant of an Award to a Participant,
shall obligate the Company or the Committee to provide any financing whatsoever
in connection with such grant.

SECTION 10. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     10.1 Corporate Actions Unimpaired. The existence of outstanding Awards
          ----------------------------
shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations, exchanges, or other changes in the Company's capital structure
or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance
of common stock or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any
issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or
affecting the common stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its
assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar character or otherwise. Further, except as herein expressly provided,
(i) the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class (including any
class of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class) for cash,
property, labor or services, upon direct sale, 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, (ii) the payment
of a dividend in property other than common stock, or (iii) the occurrence of
any similar transaction, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall
not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number of shares of common stock subject to Awards theretofore

                                       9

<PAGE>

granted or the purchase price per Share, unless the Committee shall determine in
its discretion that an adjustment is necessary.

     10.2 Adjustments Upon Certain Events. If the outstanding shares of common
          -------------------------------
stock or other securities of the Company, or both, for which the Award is then
exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be
changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, recapitalization, or reorganization, the Committee may,
and if such event occurs after a Change of Control, the Committee shall,
appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of shares of common stock
or other securities which are subject to the Plan (including limitations
pursuant to the terms of the Plan) or subject to any Awards theretofore granted,
and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, provided, however, that
such adjustment shall be made only to the extent that such will not affect the
status of any Award intended to qualify as an ISO or as "performance based
compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Company recapitalizes or
otherwise changes its capital structure, or merges, consolidates, sells all of
its assets or dissolves (each of the foregoing a "Fundamental Change"), then
thereafter upon any exercise of an Option theretofore granted, the Participant
shall be entitled to purchase under such Option, in lieu of the number of shares
of common stock as to which such Option shall then be exercisable, the number
and class of shares of stock and securities to which the Participant would have
been entitled pursuant to the terms of the Fundamental Change if, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Change, the Participant had been the holder of record
of the number of Shares as to which such Option is then exercisable. No
fractional interests shall be issued under this Plan resulting from any
adjustments.

SECTION 11. CHANGE OF CONTROL

     11.1 Definitions. Unless the Committee provides otherwise,
          -----------

     For purposes of the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, the term
"Change of Control" shall mean:

          (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
     the Exchange Act) or group of persons acting in concert (other than the
     Company or any subsidiary thereof or any employee benefit plan of the
     Company or any subsidiary thereof, or any underwriter in connection with a
     firm commitment public offering of the Company's capital stock) becomes the
     "beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange
     Act except that a person shall also be deemed the beneficial owner of all
     securities which such person may have a right to acquire, whether or not
     such right is presently exercisable), directly or indirectly, of securities
     of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined
     voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities ordinarily having
     the right to vote in the election of directors ("voting stock");

          (ii) during any period subsequent to the effective date of this Plan,
     a majority of the members of the Board shall not for any reason be the
     individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board or
     those persons who are nominated as new

                                       10

<PAGE>

     directors by a majority of the current directors or their successors who
     have been so nominated;

          (iii) there shall be consummated any merger, consolidation (including
     a series of mergers or consolidations), or any sale, lease, exchange or
     other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of
     all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company (meaning assets
     representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the net tangible assets of the
     Company or generating fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's
     operating cash flow, in each case measured over the Company's last four
     full fiscal quarters), or any other similar business combination or
     transaction, but excluding any business combination or transaction which
     would result in the voting stock of the Company immediately prior thereto
     continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
     converted into voting stock of the surviving entity) more than seventy
     percent (70%) of the combined voting power of the voting stock of the
     Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after giving
     effect to such business combination or transaction;

          (iv) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
     dissolution of the Company;

          (v) the occurrence of any other event that would be required to be
     reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A of the
     Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof; or

          (vi) any other event specified by the Committee, regardless of whether
     at the time an Award is granted or thereafter.

     11.2 Effect of Change of Control. The Committee may provide, either at the
          ---------------------------
time an Award is granted or thereafter, that a Change of Control shall have such
effect as specified by the Committee, or no effect, as the Committee in its
discretion may provide. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may but
need not provide, either at the time an Award is granted or thereafter, that if
a Change of Control occurs, then effective as of a date selected by the
Committee, the Committee (which for purposes of the Changes in Control described
in (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be the Committee as constituted prior to the
occurrence of such Change of Control) acting in its discretion without the
consent or approval of any Participant, may effect one or more of the following
alternatives or combination of alternatives with respect to all outstanding
Awards (which alternatives may be conditional on the occurrence of such of the
Changes in Control specified above and which may vary among individual
Participants):

          (i) in the case of a Change of Control specified in clause (iii) of
     Section 11.1, accelerate the time at which Options then outstanding may
     vest or be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a
     specified date (which will permit the Participant to participate with the
     common stock received upon exercise of such Option in the event of a Change
     of Control specified in clause (iii) of Section 11.1) fixed by the
     Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and all
     rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate,

                                       11

<PAGE>

          (ii) accelerate the time at which Options then outstanding may be
     exercised so that such Options may be exercised in full for their then
     remaining term,

          (iii) accelerate the vesting of Incentive Stock Awards, or

          (iv) require the mandatory surrender to the Company of outstanding
     Options or unvested Incentive Stock held by such Participant (irrespective
     of whether such Options are then exercisable under the provisions of the
     Plan) as of a date, before or not later than 60 days after such Change of
     Control, specified by the Committee, and in such event the Committee shall
     thereupon cancel such Options and unvested Incentive Stock and the Company
     shall pay to each Participant an amount of cash equal to the excess of the
     fair market value of the aggregate shares subject to such Option over the
     aggregate Option exercise price of such shares or the fair market value of
     the aggregate unvested shares of Incentive Stock, as applicable;

     provided, however, the Committee shall not select an alternative (unless
consented to by the Participant) that would result in the Participant's owing
any money by virtue of operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. If all
such alternatives have such a result, the Committee shall take such action,
which is hereby authorized, to put such Participant in as close to the same
position as such Participant would have been in had the selected alternative
been made but without resulting in any payment by such Participant pursuant to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the
consent of the Participant, the Committee may in lieu of the foregoing make such
provision with respect of any Change of Control as it deems appropriate.

SECTION 12. TAXES

     12.1 Withholding Requirements. The Committee may make such provisions or
          ------------------------
impose such conditions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment
by a Participant of any taxes that the Committee determines are required in
connection with any Award granted under this Plan, and a Participant's rights in
any Award are subject to satisfaction of such conditions.

     12.2 Payment of Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding the terms of Section
          ----------------------------
12.1, the Committee may provide in the agreement or other document evidencing an
Award or otherwise that all or any portion of the taxes required to be withheld
by the Company or, if permitted by the Committee, desired to be paid by the
Participant, in connection with the exercise of a Nonqualified Option or the
exercise, vesting, settlement or transfer of any other Award shall be paid or,
at the election of the Participant, may be paid by the Company by withholding
shares of the Company's common stock otherwise issuable or subject to such
Award, or by the Participant delivering previously owned shares of the Company's
common stock, in each case having a fair market value equal to the amount
required or elected to be withheld or paid. Any such election is subject to such
conditions or procedures as may be established by the Committee and may be
subject to disapproval by the Committee.

SECTION 13. AMENDMENTS OR TERMINATION

     (a) The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan or any agreement or
other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided
pursuant to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of Section 10.2, no such
amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company:

          (i)   increase the maximum number of shares of common stock of the
     Company for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;

          (ii)  increase the Awards that may be granted under this Plan during
     any calendar year to any one Eligible Person;

          (iii) reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price
     provided for in Section 6.2;

          (iv)  reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options;

          (v)   extend the term of this Plan;

          (vi)  change the class of persons eligible to be Participants; or

          (vii) increase the number of shares that are eligible for non-Option
     Awards.

     (b) The Board or Committee may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan or any
agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except
as provided pursuant to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of Section 10.2,
no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant under an Award,
without the consent of the Participant, provided however, that no such consent
shall be required if the Board or the Committee determines in its discretion and
prior to the date of any Change of Control that such amendment or alteration is
not reasonably likely to diminish the benefits thereunder or that any diminution
has been adequately compensated for.

SECTION 14. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS

     This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards thereunder, and the obligation
of the Company to sell, issue or deliver Shares under any Awards, shall be
subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations
and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be
required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant's name
or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or
qualification of such Shares under any federal, state or foreign law or any
ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine
to be necessary or advisable. This Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded
arrangement for a select group of management or other key employees and
directors.

     No Option shall be exercisable unless a registration statement with respect
to the Option is effective or the Company has determined that such registration
is unnecessary. Unless the Awards and Shares covered by this Plan have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933,

                                       13

as amended, or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary,
each person receiving an Award and/or Shares pursuant to any Award may be
required by the Company to give a representation in writing that such person is
acquiring such Shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a
view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.

SECTION 15. NO RIGHT TO COMPANY EMPLOYMENT

     Nothing in this Plan or as a result of any Award granted pursuant to this
Plan shall confer on any individual any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or its affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company
or its affiliates to terminate an individual's employment at any time. The
agreements or other documents evidencing Awards may contain such provisions as
the Committee may approve with reference to the effect of approved leaves of
absence.

SECTION 16. LIABILITY OF COMPANY

     The Company and any affiliate of the Company which is in existence or
hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant, an Eligible
Person or other persons as to:

          (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has
     been unable to obtain from any government or regulatory body having
     jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary
     to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder; and

          (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any
     Participant, Eligible Person or other person due to the receipt, exercise
     or settlement of any Option or other Award granted hereunder.

SECTION 17. EFFECTIVENESS AND EXPIRATION OF PLAN

     This Plan shall be effective on the date the Company's stockholders adopt
this Plan; provided that if such approval by the stockholders of the Company is
not forthcoming, all Awards previously granted under this Plan shall be void. No
Awards shall be granted pursuant to this Plan more than 10 years after the
effective date of this Plan.

SECTION 18. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN

     Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this
Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as
creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt
such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including
without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise
than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases.

specify, including through binding arbitration. Any reference in this Plan or in
