The entities identified as a “Seller” on Schedule I (individually or collectively, as the context may require, “Owner” or “Seller”), own the real property (individually or collectively, as the context may require, the “Land”) identified on Schedule I. Each Seller is, directly or indirectly, wholly owned by one or more of the Seller Parent Entities.

B. Lennar wishes to take certain steps hereinafter set forth to restructure the direct ownership of the Land by the respective Sellers, together with such Sellers’ interests in any and all improvements, appurtenances, rights, privileges and easements benefiting, belonging or pertaining thereto (all of the foregoing items are referred to herein collectively as the “Property”) in preparation for the transactions described in that certain Distribution Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Lennar and SpinCo (the “Distribution Agreement”).

C. Each Seller wishes to transfer the Property it owns to Purchaser.

D. Each Seller will evidence the transfer of the Property it owns to Purchaser through one or more deeds to be recorded in the land records.

E. Purchaser wishes to buy and Seller wishes to sell the Property on the terms and conditions set forth below.

F. In addition to the Properties, Lennar may contribute up to $500,000,000 in cash to SpinCo to finance the purchase of land assets, including through the acquisition of a company for the purpose of acquiring land assets, that Lennar may instruct SpinCo to acquire.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. Transactions.

A. Agreement to Sell and Purchase. On or prior to the date that is two days prior to the Distribution Date (as such term is defined in the Distribution Agreement) (the “Distribution Date”), Purchaser hereby agrees to buy from each Seller and each Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, in fee simple absolute, under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all of the Property the Seller owns; provided that Schedule I shall be updated within 10 business days following the Distribution Date to reflect the Property conveyed. Each Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser, at Closing, deeds conveying the Property it owns to Purchaser in a form agreed to by Purchaser and Seller. Concurrent with the delivery of each deed, Purchaser and


Seller shall execute and deliver a bill of sale and assignment of intangible property in a form agreed to by Purchaser and Seller. Without limiting the provisions hereof, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to execute and deliver all such future instruments and take such other and further action (including, without limitation, causing the filing and/or recording of any relevant documents with the relevant governmental authorities) as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Section 1(A). The date on which the deed evidencing the conveyance of each Property is delivered to the applicable Purchaser in accordance with Section 1(A) is referred to herein as the “Closing”, which may have occurred prior to the date hereof or may occur after the date hereof; provided that, in any case, Closing shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the date immediately prior to the Distribution Date. The parties hereby agree that any Closing that has occurred prior to the date hereof shall be governed by this Agreement.

B. Contribution (U.S. Home).

 

  (i)

Effective as of immediately after the close of business on the date immediately before the Distribution Date, U.S. Home hereby contributes to SpinCo all of its limited liability company interests in each Purchaser and TRSCo. Following such contribution, SpinCo shall be and hereby is the new sole member of each Purchaser and TRSCo. In addition, U.S. Home may contribute up to $500,000,000 in cash to SpinCo on the date immediately before the Distribution Date (such cash, the “Cash Contribution”). U.S. Home anticipates paying approximately $500,000,000 as an option deposit in accordance with the Transaction Documents (defined herein) (such payment, the “Option Payment” and together with the Cash Contribution, collectively, the “Initial Builder Cash”). The final amount of the Cash Contribution shall be determined in Lennar’s sole discretion prior to the Distribution Date.

 

  (ii)

SpinCo agrees to use such portion of the Initial Builder Cash as necessary to purchase land assets, including through the acquisition of a company for the purpose of acquiring such company’s land assets, in accordance with Lennar’s instructions (any land assets so-acquired, collectively, the “Supplemental Transferred Assets” and each a “Supplemental Transferred Asset”). At any point prior to the Distribution Date, Lennar may seek land asset acquisition opportunities and may instruct SpinCo to consummate such acquisitions simultaneous with or following the Spin-Off. In accordance with, and pursuant to the terms of, one such instruction by Lennar, SpinCo acknowledges and agrees to use approximately $900,000,000 to acquire the land assets of Rausch Coleman Companies, LLC (“RCC”) through a multi-step transaction between Lennar, SpinCo and the members of RCC that is expected to close on or about the Distribution Date following the Spin-Off.

 

  (iii)

Each Seller Parent Entity that is party to an agreement to acquire the Supplemental Transferred Assets (the “Acquisition Agreement”) is expected to direct its counterparty under the applicable Acquisition Agreement to permit SpinCo, TRSCo or any subsidiary thereof (such entity, a “Supplemental Purchaser”) to close on the purchase of the Supplemental Transferred Assets. Such Seller Parent Entity shall indemnify the applicable Supplemental Purchaser for, from and against all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising out of any event or condition affecting the Supplemental Transferred Assets to the extent such event or condition relates to matters that would be included under Section 2 hereof, if the applicable Supplemental Transferred Assets were, instead, contributed by Seller.

 

  (iv)

In connection with the acquisition of the Supplemental Transferred Assets, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Lennar may obtain a representations and warranties insurance policy (an “RWI Policy”) covering certain representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement. Lennar may assign the right to collect RWI Policy proceeds to a Supplemental Purchaser, or Lennar and the Supplemental Purchasers may agree on alternative means of recovery with respect to any RWI Policy. No Supplemental Purchaser may recover from any Seller Parent Entity under the indemnity set forth in this Section 1(B) to the extent of the proceeds available, directly or indirectly, to such Supplemental Purchaser pursuant to any RWI Policy resulting from the loss for which such indemnity claim is made; however, for the avoidance of doubt the applicable Seller Parent Entity shall be obligated under this indemnity only to the extent that proceeds available under any RWI Policy to such Supplemental Purchaser are insufficient to satisfy the indemnity claim.

C. Contribution (SpinCo). Effective as of immediately following the contribution described in Section 1(B), but for the avoidance of doubt, on the date immediately prior to the Distribution Date, SpinCo hereby contributes to TRSCo all of its limited liability company interests in each Purchaser in exchange for SpinCo hereby issuing that certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date of such contribution, made by TRSCo and each Purchaser. Following such contribution, TRSCo shall be and hereby is the new sole member of each Purchaser.

D. Corporation Election. Without the need for any further action by any party (except as otherwise required by applicable law), TRSCo hereby agrees to elect to be classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective as of the Distribution Date and before the Distribution (as such term is defined in the Distribution Agreement) (the “Distribution”).

E. Distribution (U.S. Home). Effective as of the Distribution Date, but prior to the Distribution, U.S. Home distributes to Lennar all of the shares of SpinCo Common Stock (as defined in the Distribution Agreement).

F. Transaction Documents. Effective immediately upon the occurrence of the Distribution, Lennar, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, as applicable, agree to enter into and be bound by that certain Master Program Agreement, Master Option Agreement, Master Construction Agreement, Multiparty Cross Agreement, and Master Guaranty (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).

G. Consolidated Returns. SpinCo and TRSCo will be part of the U.S. federal income tax consolidated group of which Lennar is the common parent until the end of the Distribution Date, and all parties will file their U.S. federal income tax returns consistent with that treatment.

 

2


H. Section 336(e) Elections. At Lennar’s election without the need for any further action by any other party (except as otherwise required by applicable law), Lennar, SpinCo, and TRSCo each hereby agrees to make one or more elections under section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and under any comparable provisions of state, local, or non-U.S.-law with respect to the Distribution, as provided in the Distribution Agreement, and effective as of the Distribution Date.

I. REIT Election. Without the need for any further action by any party (except as otherwise required by applicable law), SpinCo hereby agrees to elect to be classified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective as of date immediately after the Distribution Date.

J. TRS Election. Without the need for any further action by any party (except as otherwise required by applicable law), TRSCo and SpinCo each hereby agree for TRSCo to elect to be classified as a taxable REIT subsidiary for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective as of date immediately after the Distribution Date.

K. Transfer Taxes. Lennar shall be liable for any transfer, sales, use, value added, excise, stock transfer, stamp, recording, registration and any similar Taxes, together with all recording expenses and notarial fees, attributable to, imposed upon, or arising from the Distribution and any transactions undertaken pursuant to this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). The Party customarily responsible under applicable law shall file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes and the non-preparing party shall cooperate in duly and properly preparing, executing, and filing any certificates or other documents required to be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes.

L. Miscellaneous Provisions. The parties hereby agree that, in connection with the various distributions, contributions, and other transactions described in this Section, effective as of the applicable date set forth in this Section and without the need for any further action by any party (except as otherwise required by applicable law):

 

  (i)

the distributee or contributee of any limited liability company interests described in this Section above will be admitted as the sole member of the relevant entity immediately prior to the withdrawal (and/or dissolution, as applicable) of the relevant distributor or contributor, and the relevant entity shall continue without being dissolved upon and following the relevant distribution or contribution described in this Section; and

 

  (ii)

each limited liability company agreement (and/or any other constitutive document) of the relevant entities described in this Section above are hereby amended to the extent necessary to provide for the admission and/or withdrawal of the relevant distributees or contributees and distributors or contributors of the various limited liability company interests and the continuation without dissolution of the relevant entities, in each case as described in this Section and as contemplated by the various distributions, contributions, and other transactions described in this Section.

M. Wrong Pockets. If any real property (together with interests in any and all improvements, appurtenances, rights, privileges and easements pertaining to that real property) was included in the Property that was not intended to be transferred to SpinCo or its subsidiaries (the “Retained Land”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Retained Land shall be treated as if it was at all times owned by the Seller Parent Entities. If, after the Distribution, either the Seller Parent Entities on the one hand, or SpinCo or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, becomes aware of any Retained Land, (i) that Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing, (ii) the parties shall treat the Retained Land as held by SpinCo or its subsidiaries as agent for the Seller Parent Entities, and (iii) the parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, ensure that legal title to the Retained Land is transferred, with any necessary prior third party consent or approval, to the Seller Parent Entities.

2. Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Each individual entity comprising Seller, as to itself only, represents and warrants that each of the following is true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing:

A. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, is authorized to transact business in the state where its Land is located, and has the full and unrestricted power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other applicable documents required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Documents”) and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein. Seller has taken all requisite company action required to authorize the appropriate member(s), manager(s) or officer(s) of Seller to execute and deliver the applicable Seller Documents.

B. The execution and delivery of the Seller Documents by Seller and compliance with the provisions of such documents by Seller will not violate the provisions of Seller’s certificate of formation, limited partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or any other such similar document or rule regarding Seller or any agreement to which Seller is bound.

C. The execution, delivery and performance of the Seller Documents by Seller will not violate any provision of any applicable statute, regulation, rule, court order or judgment or other legal requirements applicable to Seller.

G. Except as set forth in the development obligations and conditions applicable to the Land disclosed to Purchaser in writing prior to the date hereof, and any other matters disclosed to Purchaser in writing prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Documents and Materials”), (i) Seller has not made and has no actual knowledge of (and to Seller’s knowledge, Seller’s predecessors in title have not made) any commitments to any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, school board, church or other religious body, or to any other organization, group or individual relating to the Property which would

 

4

As used in this Agreement, terms such as “to Seller’s knowledge,” “to Seller’s actual knowledge,” “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or like phrases mean the actual present and conscious

 

5


awareness or knowledge of Jonathan M. Jaffe (the “Seller Select Individual”), without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that so qualifying Seller’s knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on the part of the Seller Select Individual or any officer or employee of Seller, on account of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein. Said terms do not include constructive knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge Seller or such persons do not have but could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry.

C. No insolvency proceeding or petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver has been filed by or against Purchaser (nor is Purchaser contemplating any such filing), Purchaser has not made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or filed a petition for, or entered into an arrangement with, creditors, and Purchaser has not failed generally to pay its debts as they become due.
