This OVER CAP PHANTOM SHARE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated July 12, 2007, by and
between KB HOME, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and __________________
(“Employee”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Employee earned the incentive compensation described in the incentive
compensation letter delivered to Employee at the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year due to the
satisfaction of the applicable performance goals;
WHEREAS, the amount of Employee’s incentive compensation for the 2006 fiscal year exceeded the
applicable annual cap on the amount of cash that Employee could be paid currently, as specified in
the incentive compensation letter;
WHEREAS, the amount of the excess, $____________ (the “Over Cash Cap Amount”), shall
be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the Award granted hereunder is not being issued pursuant to any stock plan, including
the KB Home Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and Employee agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees
to deliver to Employee an amount in cash equal to the sum of:
(a) the product of (i) the Over Cash Cap Amount divided by $36.19, the closing price
per share on the date hereof of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company
(“Common Stock”), rounded up to the nearest whole number, and (ii) the closing price per
share of the Common Stock on the Vesting Date; and
(b) the product of (i) the Over Cash Cap Amount divided by $36.19, rounded up to the
nearest whole number, and (ii) the cumulative value of all cash dividends paid in respect of
one share of Common Stock from and including the date hereof through and including the
Vesting Date (collectively, the “Award”).
Employee agrees that the Company has not set aside or pledged any assets to pay the Award, and that
the Company’s obligation to pay the Award hereunder shall be merely that of an unfunded and
unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
1
2. Restrictions. Subject to the exception in Section 3, Employee’s right to delivery
of the Award shall not vest until July 12, 2010 (the “Vesting Date”), and then only if the Employee
continues to be employed full-time by the Company or one of its subsidiaries on such date.
Employee understands and agrees that Employee will forfeit Employee’s right to the Award if
Employee’s full time employment is terminated for any reason prior to the Vesting Date.
3. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2 to the contrary, if the
Award has not yet vested, it shall accelerate and vest upon a “change in control event,” as defined
in the regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
4. Payment. The Award will be paid to Employee by the Company no later than the third
business day following the vesting of the Award.
5. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by Employee by operation of law or
otherwise. Any purported assignment by Employee shall be null and void. This Agreement shall,
however, be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company.
6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
7. Adjustments. In the event of any of the transactions described in Section 13(a) of
the Plan, the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “MDCC”) of the Company shall
be permitted to adjust or revise the Awards in the same manner as the MDCC adjusts or revises the
phantom share rights issued on the date hereof under the Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Plan
Phantom Share Agreement.
8. No Other Rights. This Agreement does not constitute an employment agreement
between the parties, and nothing in this Agreement will (a) grant Employee any right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor (b) restrict the right of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries to remove, terminate or discharge Employee at any time for any reason
whatsoever.
9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements of the parties
relating to such subject matter. No modification or amendment of this Agreement will be effective
unless signed in writing by each of the parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible to
effect the parties’ intent, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of
any subsequent enforcement of that or any other provision.
10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, by manual or facsimile signature,
in multiple counterparts, which taken together shall constitute one instrument, and each of which
shall be constituted an original for all purposes.
