at the option of Buyer, terminate, and/or all
outstanding Transactions with all Sellers shall, at the

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if solely an event set forth in
Paragraph 10(b) hereof has occurred with respect to a
particular Transaction and the related Securities, then
Buyer's commitment to engage in the Transactions
referred to herein shall continue to be effective and
only such particular Transaction shall, at the option of
Buyer, terminate (and the Repurchase Date for such
Transaction shall be deemed to occur immediately).
11. In addition to the default and early termination
provisions set forth herein and in the relevant
Repurchase Agreement, Buyer shall not be committed
to engage in any additional Transactions referred to
herein if the Standard & Poors credit rating of
Lennar Corporation as of the date hereof shall be
downgraded or withdrawn (whether or not the
aggregate Purchase Price for all outstanding
Transactions with all Sellers at the time of such
downgrade or withdrawal equals U.S. $150,000,000);
provided, however, at the request of Seller, Buyer
shall be obligated to execute one additional
Transaction (with respect to any then existing
Transaction) with a term of up to 30 days,
commencing on the Repurchase Date of such then
existing Transaction provided that no other event of
default or early termination event provided herein
or in the relevant Repurchase Agreement (including,
without limitation the events provided in Paragraph
10 hereof) entitles the Buyer to establish an
earlier Repurchase Date with respect to such then
existing Transaction.
12. In the event that Buyer determines that the
aggregate Market Value of the Collateral has
declined, after sending notice to the relevant
Seller of a Margin Deficit, Buyer acknowledges that
such Seller may provide to Buyer additional or
different information during the period, if any,
specified In the relevant Repurchase Agreement prior
to which a margin call must be satisfied, which may
have been relevant to Buyer's determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no
obligation to change its determination of aggregate
Market Value and Buyer shall retain all of its
rights specified in the relevant Repurchase
Agreement.
13. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the
meanings given to them in the relevant Repurchase
Agreement.

otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations
provided pursuant to such Repurchase Agreement shall

to the other party a written confirmation of such Transaction (a

The Confirmation relating to a Transaction shall, together
with this Agreement, constitute prima facie evidence of the terms
agreed between Buyer and Seller for that Transaction, unless

promptly after receipt thereof. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of such Confirmation and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall prevail except in the case of those provisions in

Confirmation shall prevail.
(c) (i) In the case of on demand Transactions, demand for

Securities against the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase
Price (less any amount then payable and unpaid by Buyer to Seller
pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof).
4. Margin Maintenance
(a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all
Purchased Securities then subject to any Transaction in which a
particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the
aggregate of the Buyer's Margin Amounts for all such Transactions
(the difference between such amounts being a "MARGIN DEFICIT"),
then Buyer may by notice to Seller in such Transactions require
Seller to pay money or, at Seller's option, to transfer additional
Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer ("ADDITIONAL PURCHASED
SECURITIES"), so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchase
Securities, including any such Additional Purchased Securities.
will thereupon equal or exceed an amount which equals the aggregate
of the Buyer's Margin Amounts for all such Transactions less the
amount of the Margin Deficit (if any) as of such date in respect of
all the Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller. For
the purposes of this calculation all sums not denominated in the
Base Currency shall be converted into the Base Currency on the
relevant date at the Spot Rate.
(b) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all
Purchase Securities then subject to any Transaction in which a
particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate
of the Seller's Margin amounts for all such Transactions (the
difference between such amounts being "Margin Excess"), then
Seller may by notice to Buyer in such Transactions require Buyer
to pay money or, at Buyer's option, to transfer Equivalent
Securities to Seller in an amount such that the aggregate Market
Value of all Purchased Securities will thereupon not exceed an
amount which equals the aggregate of the Seller's Margin Amounts
for allsuch Transactions plus the amount of the Margin Excess (If
any) as of such date in respect of all the Transactions in which
such Seller is acting as Buyer. For the purposes of this
calculation all sums not denominated in the Base Currency shall be
converted into the Base Currency on the relevant date at the Spot
Rate.
(c) Any money paid or Securities transferred pursuant to
this paragraph shall be attributed as between all the different
Transactions then outstanding as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and
Seller and, failing such agreement, as determined by the party
receiving such money or Securities. Any money paid shall be paid
in the currency agreed therefor between Buyer and Seller and
failing such agreement in the Base Currency.
(d) The parties may agree, with respect to any or ail
Transactions, that their respective rights under sub-paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this paragraph may be exercised only where a
Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess exceeds an agreed amount or an
agreed percentage of the aggregate of the Repurchase Prices of
the relevant Transactions.
4
(e) The parties may agree that their respective rights under
sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph (to require the
elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be)
may be exercised in respect of an individual Transaction whenever &
Margin Deficit or Margin Excess (calculated on the basis that
Transaction is the only Transaction then outstanding) exists with
respect to it.
(f) Where the Seller or Buyer becomes obliged under either of
sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph to pay money or to transfer
Securities or Equivalent Securities, it shall pay or transfer the same
within the minimum period specified in Annex I or, if no period is
there specified, such minimum period as is customarily required for the
settlement or delivery of money, Securities or Equivalent Securities of
the relevant kind.
5. Income Payments
Unless otherwise agreed, where a particular Transaction's Term
extends over an Income payment date in respect of any Securities
subject to that Transaction, Buyer shall on the date such Income is
paid transfer to or credit to the account of Seller an amount equal to
(and in the same currency as) such Income payment or payments.
6. Payment and Transfer
(a) Unless otherwise agreed, all money paid hereunder shall be
in immediately available, freely convertible funds of the relevant
currency. All Securities transferred hereunder (i) shall be in suitable
form for transfer and shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments
of transfer or assignment in blank (where required for transfer) and
such other documentation as the transferee party may reasonably
request, or (ii) shall be transferred through the book entry system of
Euroclear or CEDEL, or (iii) shall be transferred through any other
agreed securities clearance system, or (iv) shall be transferred by any
other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed, all money payable by one party to
the other in respect of any Transaction shall be paid free and clear
of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes or duties of
whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by
any authority having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction
of such taxes or duties is required by law. In that event, unless
otherwise agreed, the paying party shall pay such additional amounts as
will result in the net amounts receivable by the other party (after
taking account of such withholding or deduction) being equal to such
amounts as would have been received by it had no such taxes or duties
been required to be withheld or deducted.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties,
under each Transaction transfer of Purchased Securities by Seller and
payment of Purchase Price payable by Buyer against the transfer of such
Purchased Securities shall be made simultaneously and transfer of
Equivalent Securities by Buyer and payment of Repurchase Price payable
by Seller against the transfer of such Equivalent Securities shall be
made simultaneously.
(d) In the case of any Transaction where, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, a party performs an obligation to
transfer Securities or to pay money at a time when the other party, in
accordance with this Agreement, is required to perform an obligation to
pay money or transfer Securities simultaneously with the performance of
the first party's obligation but, nevertheless, the second party's
obligation is not performed simultaneously, the second party shall hold
on trust for the first party any assets (including money or Securities)
that it receives from the first party prior to the performance of its
own obligation being completed provided always that the second party
shall be at liberty to dispose of any such assets to the extent such
disposal occurs in the ordinary course of its business and provided
further that any such trust shall terminate upon the completion of the
performance of the aforesaid obligations of the second party or
disposal of such assets whichever shall first occur.
(e) Subject to and without prejudice to the provisions of
sub-paragraph 6(c), either party may from time to time in accordance
with market practice and in recognition of the practical difficulties
in arranging simultaneous delivery of Securities and money waive in
relation to any Transaction its rights under this Agreement to receive
simultaneous transfer and/or payment provided that transfer and/or
payment shall. notwithstanding such waiver, be made on the Same day and
provided also that no such waiver in respect of one Transaction shall
affect, or bind it in respect of, any other Transaction.
(f) The parties shall execute and deliver all necessary
documents and take all necessary steps to procure that all right, title
and interest in any Purchased Securities and any Equivalent Securities
shall pass to the party to which transfer is being made upon transfer
of the same in accordance with this Agreement, free from all
liens, claims, charges and encumbrances.
5
(g) Notwithstanding the use of expressions such as "Repurchase
Date", "Repurchase Price", "Margin", "Margin Excess" and Margin
Deficit which are used to reflect terminology used in the market for
transactions of the kind provided for in this Agreement, all right,
title and interest in and to Securities and money transferred or paid
under this Agreement Shall pass to the transferee upon transfer or
payment (subject to the trust provided for in paragraph 6(d) of this
Agreement), the obligation of the party receiving Purchased
Securities being an obligation to transfer Equivalent Securities. For
the avoidance of doubt all right, title and interest in and to
Securities and money transferred or paid pursuant to paragraphs 4(a)
and (b) shall pass in like manner.
(h) Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

If such withholding or deduction is so required, then the

requirement, (ii) pay to the relevant authorities the full
amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon
learning that such deduction or withholding is required (iii)
promptly forward to the payee an official receipt (or

payment to such authorities, and (iv) pay to the payee such
additional amounts as are necessary to yield and remit to the
payee an amount which, after deduction of all Taxes
(including any Taxes imposed on the additional amounts) so
withheld or deducted, equals the full amount that the payee
would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
required; provided, however, that in no event will Seller be
entitled to receive any amount in respect of any Income
Payment greater than Seller would have received had it not
entered into the relevant Transaction. If (i) the payor fails
to timely remit the appropriate amount to the relevant
governmental revenue authority in respect of any amount that
the payor is required to withhold or deduct from any payment
to the payee, and (ii) a liability for such amount is

payee pursuant to the preceding sentence, be liable to the
payee for any interest or penalties that are thereby imposed
upon the

through its agent, the full amount owing to the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement, the Buyer hereby undertakes to

and outstanding at the rate of the LIBOR Rate as it

available exemption or relief as aforesaid, to
secure the benefit of any reduced rate of deduction
or withholding, in respect of any payment under this
Agreement, promptly upon the earlier of: (I)
reasonable demand by the other party, and (ii)
learning that the form or document is so required.
For purposes of subparagraph 6(b)(1) of this Agreement,
Seller's failure to comply with or perform any tax covenant
provided for hereunder will terminate Buyer's obligation to
pay any additional amount to Seller to the extent such
additional amount would not be required to be paid but for
such failure.

amount under subparagraph 6(b)(1) as a result of a Change
in Tax Law;
(B) there is a substantial likelihood that the party will be
required on the next succeeding payment date to pay to
the other party an additional amount under subparagraph

Transaction was entered into (regardless of whether such
action was taken or brought with respect to a party to
this
Agreement); or
(C) the party will be required on the next succeeding payment

other party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the
other party or h respect of the other party's execution or
performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax
Jurisdiction which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with

party's enforcement and protection, as a result of such other
default, of its rights under this Agreement or any related

Dear Sirs:
LENNAR CORPORATION ("Guarantor") hereby unconditionally guarantees the
full, complete, and prompt payment and performance by LENNAR FINANCIAL
SERVICES, INC., LENNAR MBS, INC., LENNAR SECURITIES HOLDINGS, INC. AND
LFS ASSET CORP. ("Obligors") of any and all liabilities, obligations, and
undertakings now or hereafter owing by Obligor (the "Guaranteed
Obligations") to CS First Boston Corporation ("CS First Boston"), or any
of CS First Boston's affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Beneficiary"). Guarantor hereby agrees that if Obligor shall fail at any
time to make due and punctual payment to any beneficiary of any
Guaranteed Obligation then due and payable by Obligor to such
beneficiary, Guarantor will forthwith pay such amount, without demand
therefor.
Guarantor hereby waives any requirement that any beneficiary take legal
action against Obligor before enforcing this guarantee; agrees that its
obligation hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations;
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment or notice of any kind
whatsoever; waives filing of claims with any court in case of the
insolvency, reorganization, or bankruptcy of the Obligor; waives any
fact, event, or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable defense to or discharge of a guarantor; covenants that this
guarantee will not be discharged except by full, complete, and final
payment to beneficiary of the Guaranteed Obligations; and agrees that
this guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the
case may be) if at any time all or any part of any payment, or interest
thereon, by Obligor is avoided or must otherwise be restored by
beneficiary.
This guarantee is a continuing guarantee on the part of Guarantor, which
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to the conflict of law principles there of and shall remain
effective until written notice of termination is delivered to CS First
Boston's offices at the above address; provided, however, that
notwithstanding notice of termination, this guarantee shall remain
effective with respect to all obligations of Obligor incurred prior to CS
First Boston's receipt of such notice. Guarantor agrees to pay, on
demand, all out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and
disbursements) incurred by beneficiary by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights hereunder.
