Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such
proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i)&nbsp;the Indemnifying
Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii)&nbsp;the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii)&nbsp;the Indemnified

impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying
Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such
fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives
and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors, their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company and any of the Guarantors shall be designated in writing
by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees
to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such </FONT></P>

Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i)&nbsp;in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits

shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any Guarantor

incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section&nbsp;7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Notes exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#146; obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section&nbsp;7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint. </FONT></P>

fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives

as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties&#146; relative intent,

satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Shares on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone
the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement,

its previously announced public offering of convertible senior subordinated notes due 2018. The Company also granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $11.25 million aggregate principal amount of notes. Citigroup, J.P.
Morgan and Wells Fargo Securities are acting as joint book-running managers for the notes offering. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The notes will pay interest semi-annually
in arrears at a rate of 3.0%&nbsp;per year and will mature on March&nbsp;1, 2018, unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted. On or after March&nbsp;6, 2016, the Company may redeem for cash any or all of the notes under certain circumstances.
The notes are convertible into the Company&#146;s common shares at an initial conversion rate of 30.9478 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $32.31 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by those subsidiaries of the Company that, as of the date of issuance of the notes, are guarantors under the
Company&#146;s outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2018 and outstanding 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company

additional 321,000 common shares. J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo Securities are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering of common shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Shares and&nbsp;to use the balance of such net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of land, land development, home construction, repayment of indebtedness or dividends on, or further redemptions of, its 9.75%
Series A Preferred Shares. Neither the notes offering nor the offering of common shares will be conditioned upon consummation of the other. </FONT></P>
