W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture is supplemental to the Indenture dated as of April 1, 1999 (the “Original
Indenture”), as previously supplemented by that certain First Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 13, 1999, Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 5, 2000, Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 28,
2001, Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 4, 2003, Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 12, 2003, Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 23, 2003, Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of
March 11, 2004, Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 11, 2004, Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 1, 2005, Tenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 1, 2005, Eleventh Supplemental Indenture dated as
of May 22, 2006, Twelfth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 5, 2006, Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 8, 2009 (the Original Indenture, as supplemented, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company
and the Trustee; 
 WHEREAS, the Company has determined to authorize the creation of its
8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the
“Notes”), and currently desires to issue Notes in the aggregate amount of $300,000,000; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to
Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture, the Company may establish one or more Series of Securities from time to time as authorized by a supplemental indenture; and 

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee, in
accordance with its terms, and a valid amendment of, and supplement to, the Indenture have been done. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties hereto agree, as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

Scope of Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture 

The changes, modifications and supplements to the Original Indenture affected by this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture shall be
applicable only with respect 

 
to, and govern the terms of, the Notes, which shall be unlimited in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time and which may be issued from time to time, and shall not apply to any other
Securities that may be issued under the Original Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. Except as specifically amended and supplemented
by, or to the extent inconsistent with, this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Original Indenture shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed. 

In the event that the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Notes issued under this Fourteenth Supplemental
Indenture subsequent to the Original Issue Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same “CUSIP” number for such Notes as is printed on the Notes outstanding at such time; provided, however, that
if any Notes issued under this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Original Issue Date are determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel for the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to be a different class of
security than the Notes outstanding at such time for federal income tax purposes, the Company may obtain a “CUSIP” number for such Notes that is different than the “CUSIP” number printed on the Notes then outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

 ARTICLE II

	 	(8)	to the extent not otherwise included in this definition, Hedging Obligations of such Person.

However, in the case of any loan to value maintenance agreement (or similar agreement) by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary agrees to maintain for a joint venture a minimum ratio of Indebtedness outstanding to value of collateral

Person. For purposes of Section 6.04 hereof, “Investment” shall include the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of any Subsidiary of the Company
at the time that such Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that upon a redesignation of such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the Company shall be deemed to continue to have a permanent
“Investment” in an Unrestricted Subsidiary of an amount (if positive) equal to: 
  

	 	(1)	the Company’s “Investment” in such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation, less 

 

	 	(2)	the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary at the time of such
redesignation.

extent that the liability for such Indebtedness or other obligations is limited to the security of the property (or to Persons other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) without liability on the part of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than, in the case of Indebtedness or obligations of a Subsidiary, with respect to the Subsidiary that holds title to such property (if such property constitutes all or substantially all the property of such Subsidiary) and a pledge
of the equity interests of such Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries) for any deficiency; provided that recourse obligations or liabilities of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary solely for indemnities, covenants (including, without
limitation, performance, completion or similar covenants), or breach of any warranty, representation or covenant in respect of any Indebtedness, including indemnities for and liabilities arising from fraud, misrepresentation, misapplication or
non-payment of rents, profits, insurance and 
  

 8 

 
condemnation proceeds and other sums actually received by the borrower from secured assets to be paid to the lender, waste and mechanics’ liens, will in each case not prevent Indebtedness
from being classified as Non-Recourse Indebtedness. 
 “Obligations” means any principal, interest, penalties, fees,

 “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, limited
liability company, limited liability partnership, trust, unincorporated organization, or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof. 

“Pledge Agreement” means the Pledge Agreement dated as of May 3, 2006 among Standard Pacific, the Subsidiaries of Standard
Pacific party thereto and the Collateral Agent granting a lien to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Qualified Obligations, in each case as at any time amended, modified, supplemented, renewed or extended. 

“Pledgor Subsidiaries” has the meaning given in the Pledge Agreement. 

“Preferred Stock”, as applied to the Capital Stock of any corporation, means Capital Stock of any class or classes (however
designated) which is preferred as to the payment of dividends, or as to the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of such corporation, over shares of Capital Stock of any other class of such corporation.

 “Qualified Obligations” has the meaning
given in the Pledge Agreement and includes the Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture. 
 “Rating Agencies”
means (a) each of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and (b) if any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the 

 

 9 

 
Notes publicly available for reasons beyond the control of the Company, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under
the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by an authorized officer of the Company) as a replacement agency for S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“Rating Category” means: 
  

	 	(1)	with respect to S&P and Fitch, any of the following categories: BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); 

 

	 	(2)	with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and 

 

	 	(3)	with respect to any other Rating Agency, those categories most closely approximating those set forth in (1) or (2) above. 

In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and —
for S&P and Fitch; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for any other Rating Agency) will be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P and Fitch a decline in rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB— to
B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation). 
 “Rating Date” means the date which is 60 days prior to the
earlier of (1) a Change of Control and (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control. 

“Rating Decline” means the decrease (as compared with the Rating Date) by one or more gradations within Rating Categories as
well as between Rating Categories of the rating of the Notes by at least two of the three Rating Agencies during the period commencing on the Rating Date and ending 60 days after the applicable Change of Control (which period will be extended for so
long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). If less than three Rating Agencies are rating the Notes on any Rating Date, the ratings of the Rating Agency (or Rating
Agencies) not rating the Notes will be deemed to have decreased by one or more gradations within Rating Categories or between Rating Categories until three Rating Agencies rate the Notes. 

“Regular Record Date” for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date on the Notes means the dates specified in
Section 3.02(f)(iii). 
 “Restricted Subsidiary” means any 80% or more owned Subsidiary that has not been
designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
 “Revolving Credit Facility” means that certain Revolving Credit Agreement
(the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of August 31, 2005, among the Company, the several financial institutions from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other Loan Documents (as defined
in the Credit 
  

 10 

 
Agreement) or other analogous documents entered into in connection with any refinancing, restructuring, renewal, extension, refunding, replacement or increase thereof, as any of the foregoing has

will be the immediately preceding May 1 and November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), respectively.

Redemption 

SECTION 4.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time or
from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. The Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent, as defined below, of 100% of the present values of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and the
remaining scheduled payments of interest thereon from the redemption date to May 15, 2018 for the Notes to be redeemed, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date (the “Remaining Life”), discounted from their respective
scheduled payment dates to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date. 
 As used in this Section 4.01: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the Remaining Life that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the Remaining Life.

however, that if the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, a “primary treasury dealer,” the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer, and (b) two other
primary treasury dealers selected by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to
each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal 

 

 16 

 
amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average
for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the stated maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. 
 If less than all of the
Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. If money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest on all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, then on and after such
redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 
 Notes in denominations
larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part. 
 Anything to the contrary in the Original Indenture notwithstanding, 

(a) If all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a
multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. 
 (b) Any notice of redemption mailed pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Original
Indenture may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof.

(b) the circumstances and relevant facts and relevant financial information regarding such Change of Control Triggering
Event; 
 (c) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date

delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for the guarantee of the Notes on the same terms as the guarantee of such Other Public Notes or other notes issued under an indenture or comparable documents used in jurisdictions outside
of the United States (except that the guarantee of the Subordinated Notes (and other notes that are subordinated to any notes issued under an indenture or comparable documents used in jurisdictions outside of the United States) shall be subordinated
to the guarantee of the Notes to the same extent as the Subordinated Notes are subordinated to the Notes).

the extent the Collateral or Lien is released or subordinated pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Indenture and such Collateral Document. 

SECTION 10.05. Certificates of the Company. The Company shall furnish to the Trustee, prior to each proposed Collateral Release,

Intercreditor Agreement under, or any action under, Section 7(c), Section 7(d), Section 8(b), Section 9(c), Section 10(l) or Section 13(a) of the Intercreditor Agreement (or any other section of the Intercreditor
Agreement providing for action or consents by any Creditor Representatives (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or Majority Representatives (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)), without the consent of any Holders, unless such
amendment or action would constitute an amendment or supplement to the Indenture or to the Notes that would require the consent of a majority in principal amount of the Notes or the consent of each affected Holder (in which case the Trustee may
provide such consent or take such action if such amendment or supplement to the Notes is authorized under the Indenture). If a Trigger Event occurs, the Trustee shall be authorized to take action, including to give an Enforcement Order (as defined
in the Intercreditor Agreement) and to participate on an Enforcement Committee (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), including to provide consents or take any other action thereunder, on the same basis, and subject to the same
indemnifications and other protective provisions in the Indenture, as would apply to any other action taken by the Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes on and after the delivery of a notice accelerating the maturity of any of the Notes

necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of all such Liens. 
 ARTICLE XI

 Guarantee 

SECTION 11.01. Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, and irrevocably guarantees
(each such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”) on a senior basis to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the

  

 29 

 
Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if
any, and interest on any interest of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any
applicable grace period, whether at stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.04 hereof. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that,
subject to Section 11.03 hereof, this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations of the Company contained in the respective Notes and this Indenture with respect to the respective Notes. If any Holder or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any
Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in this Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable
by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 SECTION 11.02. Severability. In case any provision of this
Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

SECTION 11.03. Release of a Guarantor; Termination of Guarantee. 

Upon: 

(a) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, stock purchase, asset sale or otherwise) of a Guarantor (or all or
substantially all its assets or its Capital Stock) to an entity which is not (after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company; 
  

 30 

 (b) upon discharge of the Indenture, as provided under Article Eight of the
Original Indenture (as amended pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof); 
 (c) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance in respect of the Notes as set forth under Article Eight of the Original Indenture. 
 (d) any
Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the Company, directly or indirectly, owning less than 80% of such Subsidiary; 

(e) any Guarantor ceasing to guarantee all Other Public Notes and any other notes issued by the Company under an indenture
or comparable documents to indentures used in jurisdictions outside of the United States; or 
 (f) the
designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, 
 and in each such case such
Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee with respect to the Notes without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the
Company, the Trustee or any Holder. In the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or Capital Stock of such Guarantor to an entity which is not (after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company,
the Person acquiring such assets or stock of such Guarantor shall not be subject to the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee. 

An Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all
obligations under this Article XI with respect to the Notes upon notice from the Company to the Trustee to such effect, without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder. 

The Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the redemption in full, retirement or other discharge of Notes.
The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this
Section 11.03. 
 Any Guarantor not released in accordance with this Section 11.03 remains liable for the full amount
of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article XI. 
 SECTION 11.04. Limitation of a Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the guarantee by each Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the parties hereby irrevocably agree

  

 31 

 
that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor (and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 11.06), result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 SECTION 11.05.
Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. (a) Except as permitted under Section 11.03, no Guarantor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor
is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor in a transaction to which subsection (b) applies, unless (i) the Person acquiring the property in any such transfer or the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture (including its Guarantee of the Notes) pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(b) Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any transfer of all or substantially all assets of a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor. Upon any such consolidation, merger, or transfer between a Guarantor and the Company or another
Guarantor, the Guarantee given by the non-surviving or transferring Guarantor in the transaction shall no longer have any force or effect. 

SECTION 11.06. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree,
inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee with respect to the Notes, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in
a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to any Notes
or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of the Notes. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such
Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection
from any other Subsidiary of the Guarantor in respect of the obligations of its Guarantee of the Notes), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of the Notes, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the
assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after
giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the 
  

 32 

 
Company in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of the Notes of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and
matured. 
 SECTION 11.07. Waiver of Subrogation. Until all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture and with respect
to all Notes are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s
obligations under the Guarantee of the Notes and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against
the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by
set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been
deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth
in this Section 11.07 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 11.08. Compensation and
Indemnity. Each of the Guarantors agrees to jointly and severally, with the Company, indemnify the Trustee as set forth in Section 7.07 of the Original Indenture. 

SECTION 11.09. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XI, nor the consent to any
departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

SECTION 11.10. Successors and Assigns. This Article XI shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in
this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 11.11. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes in exercising
any right, power or privilege 
  

 33 

 
under this Article XI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XI at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise. 
 ARTICLE XII

Default. 
 In case an Event of Default occurs and is not cured, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to
use the degree of care of a prudent person in similar circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power under the Indenture, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense.

any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 
 SECTION 12.05.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Company in this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture shall
bind its successors and assigns.

Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
  

 34 

 SECTION 12.07. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in

paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from May 3, 2010. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except
defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
May 1 or November 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by DTC or any successor. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof except as provided in
Section 3.02(g)(i) of the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture (as defined below). 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar.
Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its
domestically incorporated Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. 
 The Notes are secured senior obligations of the Company. The Company shall be
entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Notes issued on the Original Issue Date and any Additional Notes issued thereafter will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. 

This Note will be guaranteed by the Guarantors as set forth in the Indenture. 

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: Standard
Pacific Corp., 26 Technology Drive, Irvine, California 92618, Attention: Secretary. 
 5. Optional Redemption. As set
forth in Section 4.01 of the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice
mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address, on the terms set forth in the Indenture. 
 6. Mandatory
Repurchase Obligation. If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event of the Company, any Holder of Notes will have the right to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment
Date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. 
 7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. If this Note
is issued in global form and contains a legend on the face hereof to such effect, the provisions of this Section 7 shall be deemed superseded by such legend and Section 3.02(c) of the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, to the extent the
provisions of this Section 7 are inconsistent with such legend or Section 3.02(c). The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or
exchange Notes by presentation of such Notes to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations. The Registrar may require a Holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, except the unredeemed
part thereof if the Note is redeemed in part, or transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
  

 A-5 

 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the
owner of it for all purposes. 
 9. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed
for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another person. 

10. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and any past default or compliance with any provision relating to the Notes may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder. 

11. Defaults and Remedies. The following are Events of Default: (i) failure by the Company to pay the principal of any Note
when due; (ii) failure by the Company to pay any interest on any Note when due, continuing for 30 days; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with its other agreements or covenants in the Notes or the Indenture for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes upon the receipt by the Company of notice of such Default by the Trustee, or upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of notice of such Default by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes,
and (except in the case of a Default with respect to certain covenants described in the Indenture) the Company’s failure to cure such Default within 60 days after receipt of such notice; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency;
(v) default under any mortgage, indenture (including the Original Indenture and the supplemental indentures thereto in respect of the terms of the Other Public Notes) or instrument under which is issued or which secures or evidences
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) which default constitutes a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness in an amount of $25,000,000 or more when due and payable (other than as a
result of acceleration) or results in Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) in the aggregate of $25,000,000 or more becoming or being declared due and payable before it would otherwise become due and payable; (vi) entry of a final
judgment for the payment of money against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an amount of $5,000,000 or more which remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal such judgment has
expired or becomes subject to an enforcement proceeding; and (vii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and
effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee. 
  

 A-6 

 In case an Event of Default (other than arising out of certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare to be
due and payable immediately that portion of the principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of acceleration and upon such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and
payable. In case an Event of Default arising out of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs and is continuing, the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes shall become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders. 
 Such declaration or
acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived (except non-payment of principal that has become
due solely because of the acceleration) and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. 
 An existing
Default (other than a Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or Default with respect to a provision which cannot be modified under the terms of the Indenture without the consent of each Holder affected) may be waived by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding upon the conditions provided in the Indenture. 

12. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the
Indenture, the predecessor corporation will be released from those obligations. 
 13. No Recourse Against Others. A
director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. 

14. Trustee Dealings With Company. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. 

15. Discharge of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to defeasance and discharge, which provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.
