18. Period during which or date on which it can be exercised

If the performance condition is met, the Taylor Woodrow 2004 Employee Benefit

will announce on 2 April 2010 whether, and to what extent, the share awards
vest.

The performance condition is a combination of eps growth and total shareholder

return ('TSR').



The eps condition is that for 50% of the eps-related awards to vest, Group
earnings

per share for the three financial years prior to the vesting date shall not be
less than

real 3% p.a. compound.

For 100% (the maximum) of the eps-related awards to vest, Group eps for the same

period shall not be less than real 6% p.a. compound.



The TSR condition compares the TSR of Taylor Woodrow to that of a defined

group of UK housebuilders over three years, and further, requires real EPS
growth

of 3% p.a.
