Ladies and Gentlemen:

Lennar Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby confirms its agreement with the initial purchasers named on Schedule I hereto (each, an “Initial Purchaser” and collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”) for whom Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, as set forth below.

Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company proposes to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.95% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.50% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes” and, together with the 2011 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the terms of Indentures (the “Indentures”) among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and X.X. Xxxxxx Trust Company, N.A. as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (collectively, the “Guarantees”) jointly and severally, by each of the direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule II hereto (the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

The Securities will be offered and sold to you without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance on exemptions therefrom.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared an offering memorandum dated April 19, 2006 (including the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Memorandum”), setting forth or incorporating a description of the terms of the Securities, the terms of the offering of the Securities, a description of the Company and any material developments relating to the Company occurring after the date of the most recent historical financial statements incorporated by reference therein. Unless stated to the contrary, all references herein to the Memorandum are to the Memorandum on the date hereof and shall not be deemed to include any amendment or supplement thereto subsequent to the date hereof or any information filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) subsequent to the date hereof which is incorporated by reference therein and any references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any information filed under the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof which is incorporated by reference therein. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto, in connection with the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers.

The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities only on the terms and in the manner set forth in the Memorandum and Section 8 hereof as soon as the Initial Purchasers deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered, to persons in the United States whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be qualified institutional buyers (“Qualified Institutional Buyers” or “QIBs”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time (“Rule 144A”), and outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Act (“Regulation S”).

There are no conflicting rights of third parties to any such Intellectual Property; there is no material infringement by third parties of any such Intellectual Property; there is no pending or, to the Company’s best knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company’s rights in or to any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; there is no pending or, to the Company’s best knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, and the Company is unaware of any other fact which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; there is no U.S. patent or published U.S. patent application which contains claims that dominate or may dominate any Intellectual Property described in the Memorandum as being owned by or licensed to the Company or that interferes with the issued or pending claims of any such Intellectual Property; and there is no prior art of which the Company is aware that may render any U.S. patent held by the Company invalid or any U.S. patent application held by the Company unpatentable which has not been disclosed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

(ee) Except as disclosed in the Memorandum, the Company does not have any material lending or other relationship with any bank or lending affiliate of any of the Initial Purchasers. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for the purposes described in the Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds.”

(ff) Neither the offering or sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement nor the filing of any Registration Statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreements, gives rise or shall give rise to any rights, other than those that have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to the registration of any securities of the Company or the Guarantors.

were established; such internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are effective to perform the functions for which they are designed; since the date of the most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, there have been no significant changes in disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses; the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of the Company have made all certifications required by the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, and the statements contained in any such certification are complete and correct; and the Company is and, to the knowledge of the Company, all of its directors and executive officers (in their capacity as such) are, otherwise in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act that are effective.

(hh) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Act) has directly, or through any agent, (i) sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Act) which is or could be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Act of the Securities or (ii) engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act) in connection with the offering of the Securities or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act.

(jj) No securities of the Company or any Guarantor are of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Act) as the Securities and listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act, or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

(ll) Except as disclosed in the Memorandum, there are no business relationships or related party transactions which would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement under the Act by Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the Commission, and each description in the Memorandum of a business relationship or related party transaction is a fair and accurate description of the relationships and transactions so described in all material respects.

Each document filed, or to be filed prior to the closing of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated, or to be incorporated, by reference in the Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) at the time filed with the Commission conformed, or will conform, in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

(oo) The Securities satisfy the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Act.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company as to matters covered thereby, to each Initial Purchaser.

The Company shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility or liability with respect thereto.

3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made at 10:00 AM, New York City time, on April 26, 2006, or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 10 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). One or more global securities representing the Securities shall be registered by the Trustee in the name of the nominee of The

Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Cede & Co., credited to the accounts of such of its participants as the Representatives shall request, upon notice to the Company at least 48 hours prior to the Closing Date, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers duly paid, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC on the Closing Date, against payment by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers to the account of the Company of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

(a) It is understood that the Initial Purchasers will offer and sell the Securities in accordance with this Section as soon as they deem it advisable to do so. The Securities are to be initially offered at the offering price set forth in the Memorandum. The Initial Purchasers may from time to time thereafter change the price and other selling terms.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally represents and agrees that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act).

5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers that:

(a) The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers in arranging for the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers may designate and will continue such qualification in effect for as long as may be necessary to complete the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(b) If, at any time prior to the completion of the sale by the Initial Purchasers of the Securities or the Private Exchange Notes, any event occurs or information becomes known as a result of which the Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if for any other reason it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Memorandum in order to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives thereof and will prepare, at the Company’s expense, an amendment or supplement to the Memorandum that corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance.

(c) The Company will, without charge, provide to the Initial Purchasers and to counsel for the Initial Purchasers as many copies of the Memorandum, any documents incorporated by reference therein any amendment or supplement thereto, as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.

(d) The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Memorandum.

(e) For so long as any Securities remain outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers copies of all reports and other communications (financial or otherwise) furnished by the Company to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities and, as soon as available, copies of any reports or financial statements filed by the Company with the Commission or furnished to any national securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company may be listed.

(f) Neither the Company, any of the Guarantors nor any of their respective Affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Act) that could be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Act of the Securities.

(g) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act) in connection with the offering of the Securities or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act.

(h) The Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers a copy of each proposed amendment or supplement to the Memorandum, and not use any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Initial Purchasers reasonably object in writing; after the date hereof and prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by the Initial Purchasers), and the Company will not file any document under the Exchange Act which is incorporated by reference in the Memorandum, in each case unless the Initial Purchasers previously have been advised of, and furnished with a copy within a reasonable period of time prior to, the proposed filing. The Company will advise the Initial Purchasers of the time when any amendment or supplement to the Memorandum has been made or when any document filed under the Exchange Act which is incorporated by reference in the Memorandum has been filed with the Commission and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers of each such amendment, supplement or filing.

(i) The Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Act) to, during the two-year period following the Closing Date, resell any Securities that have been acquired by any of them.

(j) Except as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreements, neither the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor any authorized person acting on its or their behalf will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the Securities or the Exchange Notes and guarantees of the Exchange Notes issuable upon exchange thereof under the Act.

(k) So long as any of the Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act, the Company will, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, provide to each

holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such restricted securities, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders, from time to time of such restricted securities.

(l) The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers and use all reasonable efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC and such other clearance and settlement systems that the Initial Purchasers may designate.

(m) In connection with any Securities offered and sold in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S), the Company will not register or permit to be registered any transfer of such Securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S and will not, except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, if applicable, issue any such Securities in the form of definitive securities.

(n) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(o) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, of any debt securities of the Company, other than commercial paper notes that are exempt from registration by reason of Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act, for a period of 5 Business Days after the date hereof.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Initial Purchasers. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time (defined below) and the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(ii) the sale of the Securities hereunder has not been enjoined (temporarily or permanently); and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical

(g) The issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall not have been enjoined (temporarily or permanently), no restraining order or other injunctive order shall have been issued and no action, suit or proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to this Agreement before any court or governmental authority.

(h) On the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers shall have received the Registration Rights Agreements executed by the Company and such agreements shall be in full force and effect at all times from and after the Closing Date.

(i) The Indentures shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee, and the Securities shall have been duly executed by the Company, and the Securities shall have been duly authenticated by the Trustee.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, on the Closing Date.

7. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof, including all costs and expenses incident to: (i) the printing, word processing or other production of documents with respect to such transactions, including any costs of printing the Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any blue sky memoranda, (ii) all arrangements relating to the delivery to the Initial Purchasers of copies of the foregoing documents, (iii) the fees and disbursements of the counsel, the accountants and any other experts or advisors retained by the Company, (iv) the preparation (including printing), issuance and delivery to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities, (v) the qualification of the Securities under state securities and blue sky laws, including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers relating thereto, (vi) the expenses of the Company in connection with any meetings with prospective investors in the

Securities, (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including fees and expenses of its counsel, and (viii) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities.

If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Offering of Securities, Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Each of the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that (i) it has not and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act; and (ii) it has and will solicit offers for the Securities only from, and will offer and sell the Securities only to (A) in the case of offers inside the United States, persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be QIBs or, if any such person is buying for one or more institutional accounts for which such person is acting as fiduciary or agent, only when such person has represented to the Initial Purchasers or the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe, that each such account is a QIB, to whom notice has been given that such sale or delivery is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and, in each case, in transactions under Rule 144A and (B) in the case of offers outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons (“non-U.S. purchasers,” which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting on a discretionary basis for non-U.S. beneficial owners (other than an estate or trust)); provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (B), in purchasing such Securities such persons are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided under the caption “Notice to Investors; Transfer Restrictions” contained in the Memorandum.

(b) Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and warrants (as to itself only) with respect to offers and sales outside the United States of Securities that (i) it has and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers such Securities or has in its possession or distributes any Memorandum or any other material, in all cases at its own expense; (ii) such Securities have not been and will not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the Act; (iii) it has offered such Securities and will offer and sell such Securities (A) as part of its distribution at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S and, accordingly, neither it nor any persons acting on its behalf have engaged or will engage in any “directed selling efforts” (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and any such persons have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S; and (iv) it agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of sales of such Securities, it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person

receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases any of such Securities from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

“The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of the distribution of the Securities at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the closing date of the offering, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S (or Rule 144A if available) under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them in Regulation S.”

Terms used in this Section 8 and not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in Regulation S.

(c) Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and warrants (as to itself only) that (i) it has not offered or sold and, prior to or during the period of six months from the issuance of the Securities, will not offer or sell the Securities to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances that do not constitute an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, (ii) it has complied with and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 of Great Britain with respect to any action taken in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom and (iii) it has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document in connection with the issue and sale of the Securities to a person who is of the kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 (as amended) or is a person to whom the document may otherwise be lawfully issued or passed.

(d) Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and warrants (as to itself only) that it has not made and will not make an offer of the Securities to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the Securities that has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time: (i) to legal entities that are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities; (ii) to any legal entity that has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than €43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than €50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated

accounts; or (iii) in any other circumstances that do not require the publication by the Company or the Guarantors of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For purposes of this Section 8(d), the expression an “offer of Securities to the public” in relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Securities, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Initial Purchasers, and each person who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Memorandum or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability, which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii) under the heading “Plan of Distribution”, (A) the sentences relating to concessions and reallowances and (B) in the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in the Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Memorandum.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Initial Purchasers severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Initial Purchasers relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Initial Purchasers severally shall contribute in such proportion

as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

10. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchaser) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the nondefaulting Initial Purchasers shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in clearance or settlement systems through which transfers of securities of the Company are effected shall have occurred or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7, 9 and 15 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

13. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Debt Capital Markets (fax no.: (000) 000-0000), with a copy to the General Counsel (fax no.: (000) 000-0000) and to UBS Securities LLC, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Fixed Income Syndicate (fax no.: (000) 000-0000); or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Lennar Corporation, 000 X.X. 000xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attn: General Counsel, Xxxx Xxxxxxx (fax no.: (000) 000-0000).

14. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

15. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

17. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

18. Definitions. The terms, which follow, when used in this Agreement, shall have the meanings indicated.
