the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages, but may not include any provision that restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders to the
extent that (1)&nbsp;it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property, or services actually received or (2)&nbsp;a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person&#146;s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of
action adjudicated in the proceeding. Meritage&#146;s charter contains a provision limiting the personal liability of officers and directors to Meritage and its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the provisions of the MGCL permit a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others,
against liability incurred, unless it is established that (1)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty, or (2)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services, or (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act
or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly
received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of (a)&nbsp;a written
affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or
reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. Meritage&#146;s charter provides that it will indemnify and advance expenses to its directors, officers and others so designated by the
board of directors to the full extent permitted under Maryland law. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Meritage Homes Corporation also maintains, for the

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in this registration statement, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>
