officer of the Company prior to a Change in Control (or, if applicable, prior to the Company entering into an agreement the consummation of which would
result in a Change in Control, or any person publicly announcing its intent to take or consider action that would constitute a Change in Control). Notwithstanding clause (a) hereof, on each anniversary of the Effective Date, the term of this
Agreement automatically shall be extended for one additional year, unless not less than thirty (30) days prior to such anniversary the Company notifies the Executive in writing that it does not wish to extend the term of the Agreement.

 3. Compensation Upon A Change In Control. 
 3.01 Salary. Commencing on the date a Change in Control shall occur, the Employer shall pay a salary to the Executive at an annual
rate equal to the annual salary payable to Executive immediately prior to such date. The salary, as it may be changed from time to time by mutual agreement between the Executive and the Employer, shall be paid in equal installments on each regular
payroll payment date after the date of this Agreement and shall be subject to regular withholding for federal, state and local taxes in accordance with law. 
 3.02 Other Benefits. 
 (a) Commencing on the date a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in and to receive benefits under those employee benefit plans or arrangements (including, without limitation,
any pension or welfare plan, life, health, hospitalization and other forms of insurance and all other “fringe” benefits or perquisites) made available to executives of the Company, or any successor thereto. The Executive’s level of
participation in, or entitlements under, any such employee benefit plan or arrangement of any successor to the Company shall be calculated as if the Executive had been an employee of such successor to the Company from the date of the
Executive’s employment by the Employer. 
 (b) Commencing on the date a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive
shall be entitled to reimbursement, in accordance with the usual practices of the Employer, for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of his or her duties on behalf of the Employer.

 3.03 Outstanding Equity Awards. Concurrently with a Change in Control, (i) any non-vested stock options or
other equity awards granted to the Executive by the Company that are not “cashed out” in connection with the Change in Control shall become 100% vested without change to the stated expiration dates thereof, (ii) all repurchase rights
and/or transfer restrictions on any restricted stock award will lapse, and (iii) in the case of a Change in Control which occurs during the performance measurement period of an outstanding, performance share award, unrestricted common stock
will be issued in connection with such performance share awards in the target amount set forth in the applicable performance share award agreement. 
 4. Termination of Employment of Executive. 
 4.01 Payment of Severance Benefits Upon Change in
Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits set forth in Section 5, but only if during the term of this Agreement: 
  

 5 

 (a) the Executive’s employment by the Employer is terminated by the Employer without
Cause; 
 (b) the Executive terminates his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason and complies with the
procedures set forth in Section 4.02; 
 (c) the Executive’s employment by the Employer is terminated by the
Employer prior to the Change in Control and such termination arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control (for purposes of this Agreement, meaning that at the time of such termination the Company had entered into an
agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Change in Control, or any person had publicly announced its intent to take or consider actions that would constitute a Change in Control, and in each case such Change in Control is consummated,
or the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a potential Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement has occurred); or 
 (d) the Executive terminates his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason prior to the Change in Control, the event constituting Good Reason arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control and the Executive
complies with the procedures set forth in Section 4.02. 
 4.02 Good Reason. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in any employment agreement between the Executive and the Employer to the contrary, during the term
of this Agreement the Executive may terminate his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason as set forth in Section 4.01(b) or (d) and be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 5, provided
that the Executive gives written notice to the Company of his or her election to terminate his or her employment for such reason within 180 days after the time he or she becomes aware of the existence of facts or circumstances constituting Good
Reason or if later, within ten (10) days of the time the claim is resolved pursuant to Section 4.02(b). 
 (b) If Executive believes that he or she is entitled to terminate his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason, he or she may apply in writing to the Company for confirmation of such entitlement prior to the Executive’s
actual separation from employment, by following the claims procedure set forth in Section 8. The submission of such a request by the Executive shall not constitute “Cause” for the Company to terminate the Executive’s
employment and Executive shall continue to receive all compensation and benefits he or she was receiving at the time of such submission throughout the resolution of the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8. If the
Executive’s request for a termination of employment for Good Reason is denied under both the request and appeal procedures set forth in Sections 8.02 and 8.03, then the parties shall use their best efforts to resolve the claim
within ninety (90) days after the claim is submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 8.04. 
 4.03
Permanent Disability. In the event of a Permanent Disability of the Executive, the Company may terminate this Agreement provided that the Company shall have provided the Executive a Notice of Termination and the Executive shall not have
returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties within thirty (30) days of such Notice of Termination. 
  

 6 

 4.04 Cause. The Employer may terminate the employment of the Executive for Cause.
The Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a Notice of Termination and a certified copy of a resolution of the Board adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board (other than the Executive if he or she is a member of the Board at such time) at a meeting called and held for that purpose and at which the Executive was given an opportunity to be heard,
finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Cause based on reasonable evidence, specifying the particulars thereof in detail. For purposes of this Section 4.04, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part
shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by him or her not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. 
 4.05 Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Employer or by the Executive (other than
termination based on the Executive’s death) following a Change in Control shall be communicated by the terminating party in a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. 
 5. Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination of Employment. 
 5.01 Severance Benefits. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as described in Section 4.01, or if
Executive terminates his or her employment with the Company as described in Section 4.01, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following in lieu of any salary or bonus amounts (including, without limitation, in lieu of any pro-rata
bonus amounts) that would otherwise be payable to Executive : 
 (a) The Executive shall receive severance pay in an amount
equal to three times the Executive’s annual base compensation (including car allowance, but excluding bonus and incentive amounts referenced in Section 5.01(b)) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or the rate in
effect on the date of the Notice of Termination, whichever is higher. Such cash payment shall be payable in a single sum, within ten (10) business days following the Executive’s Date of Termination. 
 (b) The Executive shall receive a cash payment in a single sum, within ten (10) business days following the Executive’s Date of
Termination, in an amount equal to three times the Executive’s average annual bonus and incentive compensation (exclusive of stock options, performance share awards and other non-bonus equity awards) for the prior three years. 
 (c) For a period of thirty-six months following the Executive’s Date of Termination (the “payment period”), the Executive
shall be entitled to the continuation of the same or equivalent life, health, hospitalization, dental and disability insurance coverage and other employee insurance or welfare benefits (including equivalent coverage for his or her spouse and
dependent children) as he or she was receiving immediately prior to the Change in Control and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, Executive’s COBRA period shall commence at the end of such thirty-six month period. In the event that
Executive is ineligible under the terms of such insurance to continue to be so covered, the Company shall provide Executive with a lump sum payment equal to the cost of obtaining such coverage for the payment period. If the Executive, prior to a
Change in Control, was receiving any cash-in-lieu payments designed to enable the Executive to obtain insurance coverage of his or her choosing, the Company shall, in addition to any other benefits to be provided under this
Section 5.01(c), 

  

 7 

 
provide Executive with a lump-sum payment equal to the amount of such in-lieu payments that the Executive would have been entitled to receive over the
payment period. The benefits to be provided under this Section 5.01(c) shall be reduced to the extent of the receipt of substantially equivalent coverage by the Executive from any successor employer. 
 (d) The Company shall reimburse Executive for outplacement fees not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) paid by Executive to a
qualified outplacement agency, for the purpose of assisting Executive to secure reemployment. To the extent necessary to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code, such reimbursement shall be effected as follows: up to Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000) may be paid in the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, and up to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) may be paid in the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurs. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any payment or benefit to be received by Executive pursuant
to this Agreement or otherwise which would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount, if any, necessary to prevent any part of any such payment or benefit received or to
be received by Executive (such foregoing payments or benefits referred to collectively as the “Total Payments”), from being subject to such excise tax. 
 5.02 Calculation of Three Year Average. For purposes of determining the amount of the annual bonus and incentive amounts referred
to in Section 5.01(b) the Executive’s three-year average bonus and incentive amounts shall be deemed to be the average of the bonuses paid by the Company for the three most recent full fiscal years preceding the date of termination
of the Executive’s employment, or, if the Executive was not an executive officer of the Company during such three year period or the bonus plan was adopted during such three year period, then the average annual bonus for such shorter time that
he or she was an executive officer of the Company and could have earned a bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all performance and other criteria for earning the bonus for the year in which termination of the Executive’s employment occurs
have been satisfied as of the effective date of such termination (other than the criterion that the Executive continued to be employed), then the full bonus for that year and the two most recent full fiscal years shall be averaged to determine the
three-year average. 
 5.03 Termination Prior to a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained in
Section 5.01, in the case of a termination of employment prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide any compensation prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control.

 5.04 Accrued Benefits. Upon termination of the employment of Executive for any reason, any accumulated but unused
vacation shall be paid through the Date of Termination. All such accrued vacation amounts will be paid within ten (10) business days following the Executive’s Date of Termination. 
 5.05 Treatment of Deferred Compensation. For purposes of computing Executive’s current and historical salary, bonus and other
compensation under Sections 1.11(b), 1.11(c), 3.01, 3.02, 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.02 of the Agreement, any salary, bonus and other compensation deferred under the Standard Pacific Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan as amended from time to time (or
under any other deferred compensation plan hereafter adopted by 

  

 8 

 
the Company) shall be treated as paid when such amounts would have been paid to Executive had they not been deferred under such deferred compensation plan.

 5.06 Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, at the time of
Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, he is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this
Agreement would constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, no such payment or benefit will be provided under this Agreement until the earliest of (A) the date which is six (6) months after his “separation from
service” for any reason, other than death or “disability” (as such terms are used in Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code), (B) the date of his death or “disability” (as such term is used in Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of
the Code) or (C) the effective date of a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company (as such term is used in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code). The provisions of this Section 5.06 shall only apply to
the extent required to avoid Executive’s incurrence of any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder. In addition, if any provision of this Agreement would cause
Executive to incur any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company may reform such provision to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original
intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. 
 6. No Mitigation. The
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments provided for by this Agreement by seeking employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any cash payments or benefit provided under this Agreement be reduced by any
compensation or benefit earned by the Executive after his Date of Termination (except as provided in the last sentence of Section 5.01(c) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is entitled, by operation of any applicable
law, to unemployment compensation benefits or benefits under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act of 1988 (known as the “WARN” Act) in connection with the termination of his or her employment in addition to those required to be paid to
him or her under this Agreement, then to the extent permitted by applicable statutory law governing severance payments or notice of termination of employment, the Company shall be entitled to offset the amounts payable hereunder by the amounts of
any such statutorily mandated payments. 
 7. Limitation on Rights. 
 7.01 No Employment Contract. This Agreement, including the recitals hereto, shall not be deemed to create a contract of employment
between the Employer and the Executive and shall create no right in the Executive to continue in the Employer’s employment for any specific period of time, or to create any other rights in the Executive or obligations on the part of the Company
or its subsidiaries, except as expressly set forth herein. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not restrict the right of the Employer to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason, or
restrict the right of the Executive to terminate his or her employment. 
 7.02 No Other Exclusions. Except as provided
in Sections 5.01 or 13.02(b), this Agreement shall not be construed to exclude the Executive from participation in any other compensation or benefit programs in which he or she is specifically eligible to participate either 

  

 9 

 
prior to or following the execution of this Agreement, or any such programs that generally are available to other executive personnel of the Company, nor
shall it affect the kind and amount of other compensation to which the Executive is entitled. 
 8. Administrator and Claims
Procedure. 
 8.01 Administrator. Except as set forth herein, the administrator (the “Administrator”) for
purposes of this Agreement shall be the Company. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more of the Company’s employees as the Administrator at any time. The Company shall give the Executive written notice of any change in the
Administrator, or in the address or telephone number of the Administrator. 
 8.02 Claims Procedure. The Executive, or
other person claiming through the Executive, must file a written claim for benefits with the Administrator as a prerequisite to the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the right of any
person to receive benefits under Sections 8.02 and 8.03. Any denial by the Administrator of a claim for benefits by the Executive, his or her heirs or personal representative (the “claimant”) shall be stated in writing by the
Administrator and delivered or mailed to the claimant with ten (10) days after receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of the
extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial ten-day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of (10) days from the end of the initial period. Any notice of denial shall set forth the
specific reasons for the denial, specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, with an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and any explanation of claim review procedures, written to the best of the Administrator’s ability in a manner that may be understood without legal or actuarial counsel. 

8.03 Appeals. A claimant whose claim for benefits has been wholly or partially denied by the Administrator may request, within
ten (10) days following the date of such denial, in a writing addressed to the Administrator, a review of such denial. The claimant shall be entitled to submit such issues or comments in writing or otherwise as he or she shall consider relevant
to a determination of his or her claim, and he or she may include a request for a hearing in person before the Administrator. Prior to submitting his or her request, the claimant shall be entitled to review such documents as the Administrator shall
reasonably agree are pertinent to his or her claim. The claimant may, at all stages of the review, be represented by counsel, legal or otherwise, of his or her choice, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the
claimant, unless the claimant is successful, in which case, such costs shall be borne by the Company. All requests for review shall be promptly resolved. The Administrator’s decision with respect to any such review shall be set forth in writing
and shall be mailed to the claimant not later than ten (10) days following receipt by the Administrator of the claimant’s request unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time for
processing, in which case the Administrator’s decision shall be so mailed not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of such request or if later, ten (10) days after the hearing. The time and place of any hearing shall be as
mutually agreed by the parties. 
  

 10 

 8.04 Arbitration. A claimant who has followed the procedure in Sections 8.02 and
8.03, but who has not obtained full relief on his or her claim for benefits, may, within sixty (60) days following his or her receipt of the Administrator’s written decision on review, apply in writing to the Administrator for expedited
and binding arbitration of his or her claim before an arbitrator in Orange County, California in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, as then in effect, or pursuant to such other form of
alternative dispute resolution as the parties may agree (collectively, the “arbitration”). Subject to Section 9, the Company shall pay filing fees and other costs required to initiate the arbitration. The arbitrator’s sole
authority shall be to interpret and apply the provisions of this Agreement; and except as set forth herein he or she shall not change, add to, or subtract from, any of its provisions. The arbitrator shall have the power to compel attendance of
witnesses at the hearing. Any court having jurisdiction may enter a judgment based upon such arbitration. The arbitrator shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the Company and the claimant pursuant to the applicable commercial arbitration rules.
The arbitrator shall be a professional person with a reputation in the community for expertise in employee benefit matters and who is unrelated to the claimant, the Company or its subsidiaries or any employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. All
decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the claimant and the Company. 
 9. Legal Fees and Expenses. If any dispute
arises between the parties with respect to the interpretation or performance of this Agreement, the prevailing party in any arbitration or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party its attorneys fees, arbitration or court costs
and other expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding. Amounts, if any, paid to the Executive under this Section 9 shall be in addition to all other amounts due to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement. 
 10. Non-Alienation of Benefits. Except in so far as this provision may be contrary to applicable law, no sale, transfer, alienation, assignment,
pledge, collateralization or attachment of any benefits under this Agreement shall be valid or recognized by the Company. 
 11.
ERISA. This Agreement is an unfunded compensation arrangement for a member of a select group of the Company’s management or that of its subsidiaries and any exemptions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, as applicable to such an arrangement shall be applicable to this Agreement. 
 12. Executive Acknowledgment. The Executive
acknowledges that he or she has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his or her choice concerning this Agreement, that he or she has read and understands this Agreement and is fully aware of its legal
effect. 
 13. Miscellaneous. 
 13.01 Duties on Termination. Upon Termination of Employment of Executive for any reason, the Executive or his or her personal representative shall deliver promptly to the Company all equipment, notebooks,
documents, memoranda, reports, files, books, keys, correspondence, lists or other written or graphic records, and the like, relating to the business of the Company or its subsidiaries, and all other property of the Company or its subsidiaries, which
are then in the Executive’s possession or his or her personal representative or under his or her control. 
  

 11 

 13.02 Entire Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements (including, without limitation, any prior Change in Control agreement), negotiations and discussions between the parties hereto and/or their respective counsel and representatives
with respect to the subject matter covered hereby. 
 (b) As more particularly described in Section 5.01, the severance
payments to be made to Executive hereunder are paid in lieu of any other salary or bonus payments from the Company or its affiliates to which Executive might otherwise be entitled upon termination of employment (irrespective of any term to the
contrary contained in any other written or oral agreement, or under any plan, arrangement, or policy of the Company or any of its affiliates); provided, however that Executive shall continue to be entitled to receive the applicable severance
pay benefits, if any, under the Company’s applicable policies, if any, or under another written agreement if the Executive’s termination is not a termination providing benefits under this Agreement. 
 13.03 Amendments. This Agreement may be changed, amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties
hereto. 
 13.04 Assignment and Binding Effect. 
 (a) Neither this Agreement nor the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by the Executive or the Company except that this
Agreement shall be assignable to, binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company, and any successor shall be deemed substituted for the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof’. 
 (b) The Company will require any successor (whether by purchase of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all
of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement (including the obligation to cause any subsequent successor to also assume the obligations of this
Agreement) unless such assumption occurs by operation of law. Nothing in this Section 13.04 is intended, however, to require that a person or group referred to in Section 1.03(a) as being the beneficial owner of shares of
stock of the Company assume the obligations under this Agreement as a result of such stock ownership. 
 13.05 No
Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or
as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. 
 13.06 Rules of Construction. 
 (a) This Agreement has been negotiated and executed in, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of, the State
of California. Captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation with respect to this Agreement. 
  

 12 

 (b) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. 
 13.07 Notices. Any notice
required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing, delivered by hand, or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by recognized courier service (regularly providing proof of delivery), addressed to the Board and
the Company and where applicable, the Administrator, at the Company’s then principal office, or to the Executive at the address set forth under the Executive’s signature below, as the case may be, or to such other address or addresses as
any party hereto may from time to time specify in writing. Notices shall be deemed given when received.

of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to remain in the employ of the Employer upon the understanding that the Employer
will provide him with income security and health benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. 
 NOW,

 1.09 “Employer” shall mean the Company or its subsidiary employing Executive, provided however, that nothing
contained herein shall prohibit the Company or another of its subsidiaries from fulfilling any obligation of the employing entity to the Executive hereunder and for purposes of this Agreement any such action will be deemed the act of the Employer,
and provided further that for purposes of calculating tenure with Employer, time employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be considered tenure with the Employer. 
 1.10 “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 1.11 “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following without the Executive’s express written consent: 
 (a) (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties materially and adversely inconsistent with the Executive’s positions,

 (c) failure by the Employer to continue in effect any compensation plan, bonus or

 (f) the requirement by the Employer that the Executive’s principal place of employment
be relocated more than thirty-five (35) miles from his or her place of employment prior to the Change in Control, or that the Executive must travel on the Employer’s business to an extent materially greater than the Executive’s
customary business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control; or 
 (g) the Company’s failure to obtain a
satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 13.04 hereof. 
 1.12 “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

without Cause, including, without limitation, a termination by reason of resignation, discharge (with or without Cause), Permanent Disability, death or retirement, but excluding terminations where there is a simultaneous re-employment by the Company
or a subsidiary of the Company. 
 2. Term. This Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent that any obligation of the Company
hereunder remains unpaid as of such time, upon the earliest of: (a) December 1, 2007 if a Change in Control of the Company has not occurred prior to such date; (b) the Termination of Employment of the Executive with the Employer based
on Death, Permanent Disability, or Cause or by the Executive other than for Good Reason; (c) two (2) years from the date of a Change in Control of the Company; and (d) unless the Board in its discretion determines not to terminate the
Agreement, upon the Executive’s ceasing to be an executive 

  

 4 

 
officer of the Company prior to a Change in Control (or, if applicable, prior to the Company entering into an agreement the consummation of which would
result in a Change in Control, or any person publicly announcing its intent to take or consider action that would constitute a Change in Control). Notwithstanding clause (a) hereof, on each anniversary of the Effective Date, the term of this
Agreement automatically shall be extended for one additional year, unless not less than thirty (30) days prior to such anniversary the Company notifies the Executive in writing that it does not wish to extend the term of the Agreement.

 3. Compensation Upon A Change In Control. 
 3.01 Salary. Commencing on the date a Change in Control shall occur, the Employer shall pay a salary to the Executive at an annual
rate equal to the annual salary payable to Executive immediately prior to such date. The salary, as it may be changed from time to time by mutual agreement between the Executive and the Employer, shall be paid in equal installments on each regular
payroll payment date after the date of this Agreement and shall be subject to regular withholding for federal, state and local taxes in accordance with law. 
 3.02 Other Benefits. 
 (a) Commencing on the date a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in and to receive benefits under those employee benefit plans or arrangements (including, without limitation,
any pension or welfare plan, life, health, hospitalization and other forms of insurance and all other “fringe” benefits or perquisites) made available to executives of the Company, or any successor thereto. The Executive’s level of
participation in, or entitlements under, any such employee benefit plan or arrangement of any successor to the Company shall be calculated as if the Executive had been an employee of such successor to the Company from the date of the
Executive’s employment by the Employer. 
 (b) Commencing on the date a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive
shall be entitled to reimbursement, in accordance with the usual practices of the Employer, for all reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of his or her duties on behalf of the Employer.

 3.03 Outstanding Equity Awards. Concurrently with a Change in Control, (i) any non-vested stock options or
other equity awards granted to the Executive by the Company that are not “cashed out” in connection with the Change in Control shall become 100% vested without change to the stated expiration dates thereof, (ii) all repurchase rights
and/or transfer restrictions on any restricted stock award will lapse, and (iii) in the case of a Change in Control which occurs during the performance measurement period of an outstanding, performance share award, unrestricted common stock
will be issued in connection with such performance share awards in the target amount set forth in the applicable performance share award agreement. 
 4. Termination of Employment of Executive. 
 4.01 Payment of Severance Benefits Upon Change in
Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits set forth in Section 5, but only if during the term of this Agreement: 
 (a) the Executive’s employment by the Employer is terminated by the Employer without Cause; 
  

 5 

 (b) the Executive terminates his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason and
complies with the procedures set forth in Section 4.02; 
 (c) the Executive’s employment by the Employer is
terminated by the Employer prior to the Change in Control and such termination arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control (for purposes of this Agreement, meaning that at the time of such termination the Company had entered
into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Change in Control, or any person had publicly announced its intent to take or consider actions that would constitute a Change in Control, and in each case such Change in Control is
consummated, or the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a potential Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement has occurred); or 
 (d) the Executive terminates his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason prior to the Change in Control, the event constituting Good Reason arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in
Control and the Executive complies with the procedures set forth in Section 4.02. 
 4.02 Good Reason.

 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in any employment agreement between the Executive and the Employer to the contrary,
during the term of this Agreement the Executive may terminate his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason as set forth in Section 4.01(b) or (d) and be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 5,
provided that the Executive gives written notice to the Company of his or her election to terminate his or her employment for such reason within 180 days after the time he or she becomes aware of the existence of facts or circumstances
constituting Good Reason or if later, within ten (10) days of the time the claim is resolved pursuant to Section 4.02(b). 
 (b) If Executive believes that he or she is entitled to terminate his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason, he or she may apply in writing to the Company for confirmation of such entitlement prior to
the Executive’s actual separation from employment, by following the claims procedure set forth in Section 8. The submission of such a request by the Executive shall not constitute “Cause” for the Company to terminate the
Executive’s employment and Executive shall continue to receive all compensation and benefits he or she was receiving at the time of such submission throughout the resolution of the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Section 8. If the Executive’s request for a termination of employment for Good Reason is denied under both the request and appeal procedures set forth in Sections 8.02 and 8.03, then the parties shall use their best
efforts to resolve the claim within ninety (90) days after the claim is submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 8.04. 
 4.03 Permanent Disability. In the event of a Permanent Disability of the Executive, the Company may terminate this Agreement provided that the Company shall have provided the Executive a Notice of Termination
and the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties within thirty (30) days of such Notice of Termination. 
  

 6 

 4.04 Cause. The Employer may terminate the employment of the Executive for Cause.
The Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a Notice of Termination and a certified copy of a resolution of the Board adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board (other than the Executive if he or she is a member of the Board at such time) at a meeting called and held for that purpose and at which the Executive was given an opportunity to be heard,
finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Cause based on reasonable evidence, specifying the particulars thereof in detail. For purposes of this Section 4.04, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part
shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by him or her not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. 
 4.05 Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Employer or by the Executive (other than
termination based on the Executive’s death) following a Change in Control shall be communicated by the terminating party in a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. 
 5. Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination of Employment. 
 5.01 Severance Benefits. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as described in Section 4.01, or if
Executive terminates his or her employment with the Company as described in Section 4.01, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following in lieu of any salary or bonus amounts (including, without limitation, in lieu of any pro-rata
bonus amounts) that would otherwise be payable to Executive: 
 (a) The Executive shall receive severance pay in an amount
equal to two times the Executive’s annual base compensation (including car allowance, but excluding bonus and incentive amounts referenced in Section 5.01(b)) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or the rate in
effect on the date of the Notice of Termination, whichever is higher. Such cash payment shall be payable in a single sum, within ten (10) business days following the Executive’s Date of Termination. 
 (b) The Executive shall receive a cash payment in a single sum, within ten (10) business days following the Executive’s Date of
Termination, in an amount equal to two times the Executive’s average annual bonus and incentive compensation (exclusive of stock options, performance share awards and other non-bonus equity awards) for the prior three years. 
 (c) For a period of twenty-four months following the Executive’s Date of Termination (the “payment period”), the Executive
shall be entitled to the continuation of the same or equivalent life, health, hospitalization, dental and disability insurance coverage and other employee insurance or welfare benefits (including equivalent coverage for his or her spouse and
dependent children) as he or she was receiving immediately prior to the Change in Control and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, Executive’s COBRA period shall commence at the end of such twenty-four month period. In the event
that Executive is ineligible under the terms of such insurance to continue to be so covered, the Company shall provide Executive with a lump sum payment equal to the cost of obtaining such coverage for the payment period. If the Executive, prior to
a Change in Control, was receiving any cash-in-lieu payments designed to enable the Executive to obtain insurance coverage of his or her choosing, the Company shall, in addition to any other benefits to be provided under this
Section 5.01(c), 

  

 7 

 
provide Executive with a lump-sum payment equal to the amount of such in-lieu payments that the Executive would have been entitled to receive over the
payment period. The benefits to be provided under this Section 5.01(c) shall be reduced to the extent of the receipt of substantially equivalent coverage by the Executive from any successor employer. 
 (d) The Company shall reimburse Executive for outplacement fees not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) paid by Executive to a
qualified outplacement agency, for the purpose of assisting Executive to secure reemployment. To the extent necessary to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code, such reimbursement shall be effected as follows: up to Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000) may be paid in the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, and up to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) may be paid in the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurs. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any payment or benefit to be received by Executive pursuant
to this Agreement or otherwise which would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount, if any, necessary to prevent any part of any such payment or benefit received or to
be received by Executive (such foregoing payments or benefits referred to collectively as the “Total Payments”), from being subject to such excise tax. 
 5.02 Calculation of Three Year Average. For purposes of determining the amount of the annual bonus and incentive amounts referred
to in Section 5.01(b) the Executive’s three-year average bonus and incentive amounts shall be deemed to be the average of the bonuses paid by the Company for the three most recent full fiscal years preceding the date of termination
of the Executive’s employment, or, if the Executive was not an executive officer of the Company during such three year period or the bonus plan was adopted during such three year period, then the average annual bonus for such shorter time that
he or she was an executive officer of the Company and could have earned a bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all performance and other criteria for earning the bonus for the year in which termination of the Executive’s employment occurs
have been satisfied as of the effective date of such termination (other than the criterion that the Executive continued to be employed), then the full bonus for that year and the two most recent full fiscal years shall be averaged to determine the
three-year average. 
 5.03 Termination Prior to a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained in
Section 5.01, in the case of a termination of employment prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide any compensation prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control.

 5.04 Accrued Benefits. Upon termination of the employment of Executive for any reason, any accumulated but unused
vacation shall be paid through the Date of Termination. All such accrued vacation amounts will be paid within ten (10) business days following the Executive’s Date of Termination. 
 5.05 Treatment of Deferred Compensation. For purposes of computing Executive’s current and historical salary, bonus and other
compensation under Sections 1.11(b), 1.11(c), 3.01, 3.02, 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.02 of the Agreement, any salary, bonus and other compensation deferred under the Standard Pacific Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan as amended from time to time (or
under any other deferred compensation plan hereafter adopted by 

  

 8 

 
the Company) shall be treated as paid when such amounts would have been paid to Executive had they not been deferred under such deferred compensation plan.

 5.06 Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, at the time of
Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, he is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this
Agreement would constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, no such payment or benefit will be provided under this Agreement until the earliest of (A) the date which is six (6) months after his “separation from
service” for any reason, other than death or “disability” (as such terms are used in Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code), (B) the date of his death or “disability” (as such term is used in Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of
the Code) or (C) the effective date of a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company (as such term is used in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code). The provisions of this Section 5.06 shall only apply to
the extent required to avoid Executive’s incurrence of any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder. In addition, if any provision of this Agreement would cause
Executive to incur any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company may reform such provision to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original
intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. 
 6. No Mitigation. The
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments provided for by this Agreement by seeking employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any cash payments or benefit provided under this Agreement be reduced by any
compensation or benefit earned by the Executive after his Date of Termination (except as provided in the last sentence of Section 5.01(c) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is entitled, by operation of any applicable
law, to unemployment compensation benefits or benefits under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act of 1988 (known as the “WARN” Act) in connection with the termination of his or her employment in addition to those required to be paid to
him or her under this Agreement, then to the extent permitted by applicable statutory law governing severance payments or notice of termination of employment, the Company shall be entitled to offset the amounts payable hereunder by the amounts of
any such statutorily mandated payments. 
 7. Limitation on Rights. 
 7.01 No Employment Contract. This Agreement, including the recitals hereto, shall not be deemed to create a contract of employment
between the Employer and the Executive and shall create no right in the Executive to continue in the Employer’s employment for any specific period of time, or to create any other rights in the Executive or obligations on the part of the Company
or its subsidiaries, except as expressly set forth herein. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not restrict the right of the Employer to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason, or
restrict the right of the Executive to terminate his or her employment. 
 7.02 No Other Exclusions. Except as provided
in Sections 5.01 or 13.02(b), this Agreement shall not be construed to exclude the Executive from participation in any other compensation or benefit programs in which he or she is specifically eligible to participate either 

  

 9 

 
prior to or following the execution of this Agreement, or any such programs that generally are available to other executive personnel of the Company, nor
shall it affect the kind and amount of other compensation to which the Executive is entitled. 
 8. Administrator and Claims
Procedure. 
 8.01 Administrator. Except as set forth herein, the administrator (the “Administrator”) for
purposes of this Agreement shall be the Company. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more of the Company’s employees as the Administrator at any time. The Company shall give the Executive written notice of any change in the
Administrator, or in the address or telephone number of the Administrator. 
 8.02 Claims Procedure. The Executive, or
other person claiming through the Executive, must file a written claim for benefits with the Administrator as a prerequisite to the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the right of any
person to receive benefits under Sections 8.02 and 8.03. Any denial by the Administrator of a claim for benefits by the Executive, his or her heirs or personal representative (the “claimant”) shall be stated in writing by the
Administrator and delivered or mailed to the claimant with ten (10) days after receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of the
extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial ten-day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of (10) days from the end of the initial period. Any notice of denial shall set forth the
specific reasons for the denial, specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, with an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and any explanation of claim review procedures, written to the best of the Administrator’s ability in a manner that may be understood without legal or actuarial counsel. 

8.03 Appeals. A claimant whose claim for benefits has been wholly or partially denied by the Administrator may request, within
ten (10) days following the date of such denial, in a writing addressed to the Administrator, a review of such denial. The claimant shall be entitled to submit such issues or comments in writing or otherwise as he or she shall consider relevant
to a determination of his or her claim, and he or she may include a request for a hearing in person before the Administrator. Prior to submitting his or her request, the claimant shall be entitled to review such documents as the Administrator shall
reasonably agree are pertinent to his or her claim. The claimant may, at all stages of the review, be represented by counsel, legal or otherwise, of his or her choice, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the
claimant, unless the claimant is successful, in which case, such costs shall be borne by the Company. All requests for review shall be promptly resolved. The Administrator’s decision with respect to any such review shall be set forth in writing
and shall be mailed to the claimant not later than ten (10) days following receipt by the Administrator of the claimant’s request unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time for
processing, in which case the Administrator’s decision shall be so mailed not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of such request or if later, ten (10) days after the hearing. The time and place of any hearing shall be as
mutually agreed by the parties.

 8.04 Arbitration. A claimant who has followed the procedure in Sections 8.02 and
8.03, but who has not obtained full relief on his or her claim for benefits, may, within sixty (60) days following his or her receipt of the Administrator’s written decision on review, apply in writing to the Administrator for expedited
and binding arbitration of his or her claim before an arbitrator in Orange County, California in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, as then in effect, or pursuant to such other form of
alternative dispute resolution as the parties may agree (collectively, the “arbitration”). Subject to Section 9, the Company shall pay filing fees and other costs required to initiate the arbitration. The arbitrator’s sole
authority shall be to interpret and apply the provisions of this Agreement; and except as set forth herein he or she shall not change, add to, or subtract from, any of its provisions. The arbitrator shall have the power to compel attendance of
witnesses at the hearing. Any court having jurisdiction may enter a judgment based upon such arbitration. The arbitrator shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the Company and the claimant pursuant to the applicable commercial arbitration rules.
The arbitrator shall be a professional person with a reputation in the community for expertise in employee benefit matters and who is unrelated to the claimant, the Company or its subsidiaries or any employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. All
decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the claimant and the Company. 
 9. Legal Fees and Expenses. If any dispute
arises between the parties with respect to the interpretation or performance of this Agreement, the prevailing party in any arbitration or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party its attorneys fees, arbitration or court costs
and other expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding. Amounts, if any, paid to the Executive under this Section 9 shall be in addition to all other amounts due to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement. 
 10. Non-Alienation of Benefits. Except in so far as this provision may be contrary to applicable law, no sale, transfer, alienation, assignment,
pledge, collateralization or attachment of any benefits under this Agreement shall be valid or recognized by the Company. 
 11.
ERISA. This Agreement is an unfunded compensation arrangement for a member of a select group of the Company’s management or that of its subsidiaries and any exemptions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, as applicable to such an arrangement shall be applicable to this Agreement. 
 12. Executive Acknowledgment. The Executive
acknowledges that he or she has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his or her choice concerning this Agreement, that he or she has read and understands this Agreement and is fully aware of its legal
effect. 
 13. Miscellaneous. 
 13.01 Duties on Termination. Upon Termination of Employment of Executive for any reason, the Executive or his or her personal representative shall deliver promptly to the Company all equipment, notebooks,
documents, memoranda, reports, files, books, keys, correspondence, lists or other written or graphic records, and the like, relating to the business of the Company or its subsidiaries, and all other property of the Company or its subsidiaries, which
are then in the Executive’s possession or his or her personal representative or under his or her control.

 13.02 Entire Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements (including, without limitation, any prior Change in Control agreement), negotiations and discussions between the parties hereto and/or their respective counsel and representatives
with respect to the subject matter covered hereby. 
 (b) As more particularly described in Section 5.01, the severance
payments to be made to Executive hereunder are paid in lieu of any other salary or bonus payments from the Company or its affiliates to which Executive might otherwise be entitled upon termination of employment (irrespective of any term to the
contrary contained in any other written or oral agreement, or under any plan, arrangement, or policy of the Company or any of its affiliates); provided, however that Executive shall continue to be entitled to receive the applicable severance
pay benefits, if any, under the Company’s applicable policies, if any, or under another written agreement if the Executive’s termination is not a termination providing benefits under this Agreement. 
 13.03 Amendments. This Agreement may be changed, amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties
hereto. 
 13.04 Assignment and Binding Effect. 
 (a) Neither this Agreement nor the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by the Executive or the Company except that this
Agreement shall be assignable to, binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company, and any successor shall be deemed substituted for the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof’. 
 (b) The Company will require any successor (whether by purchase of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all
of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement (including the obligation to cause any subsequent successor to also assume the obligations of this
Agreement) unless such assumption occurs by operation of law. Nothing in this Section 13.04 is intended, however, to require that a person or group referred to in Section 1.03(a) as being the beneficial owner of shares of
stock of the Company assume the obligations under this Agreement as a result of such stock ownership. 
 13.05 No
Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or
as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. 
 13.06 Rules of Construction. 
 (a) This Agreement has been negotiated and executed in, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of, the State
of California. Captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation with respect to this Agreement. 
  

 12 

 (b) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. 
 13.07 Notices. Any notice
required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing, delivered by hand, or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by recognized courier service (regularly providing proof of delivery), addressed to the Board and
the Company and where applicable, the Administrator, at the Company’s then principal office, or to the Executive at the address set forth under the Executive’s signature below, as the case may be, or to such other address or addresses as
any party hereto may from time to time specify in writing. Notices shall be deemed given when received.
