Item 5.02.		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On September 30, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of D.R. Horton, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved a form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“RSU Agreement”) and form of Stock Award Agreement (“Stock Award Agreement”) for awards to executive officers and other key employees of the Company pursuant to its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the form of RSU Agreement, the Compensation Committee may award performance or service (time) based restricted stock units subject to the terms and conditions of the RSU Agreement and the 2006 Plan. Under the form of Stock Award Agreement, the Compensation Committee may award shares of common stock of the Company in payment or settlement of compensation already earned (i.e., payment of common stock in lieu cash).

On September 30, 2010, the Compensation Committee approved and granted an award of performance restricted stock units (“Performance RSUs”) pursuant to the 2006 Plan to the following executive officers and in the following amounts:

				Performance
Name		Office		Restricted Stock Units
Donald R. Horton		Chairman of the Board			100,000
Donald J. Tomnitz		President and CEO			100,000

The Performance RSUs relate to a two-year performance period beginning on October 1, 2010 and ending on September 30, 2012. The Performance RSU will vest if four performance goals are satisfied. The four performance goals relate to relative total shareholder return (“TSR”), relative Return on Investment (“ROI”), relative selling, general and administrative expense containment (“SG&A”) and relative gross profit (“GP”) (collectively, the “Performance Goals”). Each Performance Goal is weighted twenty-five percent (25%) of the target number of 100,000 Performance RSUs. The target number of Performance RSUs may be increased to a maximum number of 200,000 upon maximum achievement of each of the four Performance Goals and decreased to a minimum number of zero Performance RSUs upon minimum achievement of each of the four Performance Goals. Each Performance RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock if vesting is satisfied. The Performance RSUs granted to Mr. Horton and Mr. Tomnitz have no rights to dividends or voting.

Vesting of the TSR Performance Goal component will be determined after the Performance Period based on a comparison of the Company’s TSR to the S&P 500 Index’s TSR as computed by Standard and Poor’s using their TSR methodology. The vesting of the ROI, SG&A and GP Performance Goal components will be determined after the Performance Period based on the

relative ranking of the Company’s performance on each Performance Goal to each peer group company’s performance on each Performance Goal. Any portion of the Performance RSUs that do not vest due to inadequate relative performance will be forfeited.

The above summary is qualified by reference to the text of the RSU Agreement and SA Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
