<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(e)&nbsp;On January&nbsp;21, 2010, the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) of
the Board of Directors of KB Home (the &#147;Company&#148;) determined the amount of incentive compensation
payable to each of the Company&#146;s executive officers under the Company&#146;s fiscal year 2009 annual
incentive program for executive officers. Based on the Company&#146;s financial performance in fiscal
year 2009, each of the executive officers became eligible under the program to receive the maximum
possible award. However, in light of the challenging housing market, the Committee exercised its
authority under the program to significantly reduce the amount of each of the incentive compensation awards. The
final amounts determined for the Company&#146;s named executive officers are set forth below:
