100003 | 0.58% of Lennar Corporation Pretax Income [2] after a 7.3% capital charge [3] |
| [1] | The 2021 Target Bonus Opportunity Program, under the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, is intended to encourage superior performance and achievement of the Company’s strategic business objectives. The bonus (if any) awarded under this plan may be adjusted downward at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, based on its assessment of quantitative and qualitative performance. Factors that may cause an adjustment include, but are not limited to, a comparison of the Company’s actual results (sales, closings, starts, etc.) to budget, inventory management, corporate governance, customer satisfaction, and peer/competitor comparisons. |
| [2] | Pretax income shall take into account and adjust for goodwill charges, losses or expenses on early retirement of debt, impairment charges, and acquisition or deal costs related to the purchase or merger of a public company. Pretax Income is calculated as Net Earnings attributable to Lennar plus/minus income tax expense/benefit. |
| [3] | Capital charge is calculated as follows: Tangible Capital = Stockholders’ Equity - Intangible Assets + Homebuilding Debt. |
| • | BONUS PAYMENTS: To earn a bonus pursuant to this Agreement, Associate must, in addition to all other requirements herein, comply with all legal and ethical standards set forth in the Company’s Associate Reference Guide (“ARG”) and Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. A bonus otherwise earned under this Agreement shall be paid no later than February 28th of the year following the fiscal year for which the bonus is due, or if such day is not a business day, the next business day. Any bonus under this Agreement must be fully earned within the fiscal year stated above, subject to proration described below. A bonus for periods after this fiscal year is paid at the sole discretion of the Company, and in amounts determined at the sole discretion of the Company. Associate must be a full-time active employee with the Company on the date of payment (or on a leave of absence approved pursuant to the ARG) to earn a bonus, and no bonus will be paid or earned after Associate’s employment with the Company ends, regardless of whether the termination is voluntary or involuntary. |
| • | PRORATION: Unless otherwise provided by law, bonuses tied to accomplishing objectives over a specific period of time will be prorated based on the number of calendar days Associate was a full-time active employee with the Company during that period. This proration applies to all types of leave, including medical and non-medical. |
| • | NO PRIOR AGREEMENTS: Associate represents that Associate has no agreements, relationships, or commitments to any other person or entity that conflict with or would prevent Associate from performing any of Associate’s obligations to the Company. Associate has not disclosed and will not disclose to the Company and/or any affiliates and/or subsidiaries (“Affiliate Companies”), and will not use or induce the Company and/or any Affiliate Companies to use, any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets belonging to others. Associate represents and warrants that Associate has returned all property and confidential or trade secret information belonging to others and is not in possession of any such confidential or trade secret information. Associate agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and Affiliate Companies, and their officers, members, directors and employees, from any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses or liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or resulting from any breach or default of the representations and warranties contained in this provision. |
| • | AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT: Associate’s employment is at-will. Associate may resign from Associate’s employment at any time with or without cause or notice and the Company may terminate Associate’s employment at any time with or without cause or notice. |
| • | CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT: By virtue of Associate’s employment with the Company, Associate will have access to and become familiar with various confidential and/or proprietary information, as described in Section 5.2 of the ARG, and Associate specifically agrees to comply with Section 5.2 of the ARG. Also, in accordance with Section 5.34 of the ARG, Associate agrees that Associate will not make any inaccurate, disparaging, or defamatory statements concerning the Company or the Company’s products, services, officers or employees, during or following Associate’s employment with the Company, subject to Associate’s right to communicate with governmental bodies or agencies and/or to engage in activity protected by the National Labor Relations Act or any other applicable federal, state or local law. |
| • | NO SOLICITATION: Associate agrees that during Associate’s employment with the Company and for twelve (12) months following the termination of Associate’s employment with the Company (“Non-Solicitation Period”), Associate will not directly or indirectly, on Associate’s own behalf or through others, employ, suggest employment, or offer employment to any Applicable Associate of the Company and/or its Affiliate Companies, nor will Associate solicit, recruit, influence, or encourage any Applicable Associate to terminate his or her employment with the Company or Affiliate Companies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Applicable Associate” shall mean any person who is or was employed by the Company or Affiliate Companies at the time of Associate’s termination or at any time during the three months preceding the Associate’s termination of employment with the Company; or who is or was employed by the Company or Affiliate Companies at any time during the Non-Solicitation Period. Associate must disclose these obligations regarding solicitation to any employer with whom Associate becomes employed during the Non-Solicitation Period prior to commencing such employment. |

The Company shall make the final and binding determination of any amount payable under this Agreement; whether and/or when a bonus payment is quantifiable; whether an adjustment to any bonus is appropriate; and all standards, goals, targets, plans, deliveries, and benchmarks and whether they were met.

Exhibit 10.2
LENNAR CORPORATION
2021 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
This is to certify that Lennar Corporation (“Lennar”) has granted (the “Grantee”) shares of Class A common stock, which are subject to the performance-based vesting criteria set forth below (the “Performance Shares”), and shares of Class A common stock, which are subject to the time-based vesting criteria set forth below (the “Restricted Shares”, and together with the Performance Shares, the “Shares”). The Shares are being issued under the Lennar Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.
Performance Shares
The number of Performance Shares that the Grantee actually earns for the Performance Period will be determined based on the level of achievement of the performance goals set forth in the table below (the “Performance Goals”), with Performance Shares to be earned if target performance levels are achieved. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Performance Period” shall be the period commencing on December 1, 2020 and ending on November 30, 2023. All determinations of whether the Performance Goals have been achieved, the number of Performance Shares earned by the Grantee, and all other matters related to the Performance Shares shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Performance Shares are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Performance Shares will vest and become non-forfeitable, if at all, on the date the Committee certifies the achievement of the Performance Goals (the “Vesting Date”). Performance Shares that have not vested by the Vesting Date shall be forfeited. Promptly following completion of the Performance Period (and no later than ninety (90) days following the end of the Performance Period), the Committee will review and certify in writing (a) whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved, and (b) the number of Performance Shares that the Grantee shall earn, if any.

| 200% (maximum) | 75th Percentile | 75th Percentile | 75th Percentile | £ 1.0 |
| * | Relative Gross Profit Percentage, Relative Return on Tangible Capital, and Relative Total Shareholder Return are determined using Lennar’s Peer Group consisting of Beazer Homes USA, Inc., D.R. Horton, Inc., KB Home, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., Meritage Homes Corporation, NVR, Inc., PulteGroup, Inc., Taylor Morrison Home Corporation, Toll Brothers, Inc., and TRI Pointe Group, Inc. In the event a company within the Peer Group is acquired by a company outside the Peer Group, the company would be removed from the Peer Group. In the event a company files for bankruptcy during the performance period, the company’s gross profit percentage, return on tangible capital, and total shareholder return would be reduced to -100% (i.e., assumed as worst performer within the Peer Group on the respective metrics). |
Payouts for performance between threshold and target payout levels and between target and maximum payout levels will be calculated by linear interpolation. The number of Performance Shares earned is determined independently for each component (e.g., maximum achievement for the relative gross profit percentage component, target achievement for the relative return on tangible capital component, target achievement for the relative total shareholder return, and below-threshold achievement for debt/EBITDA multiple component results in 100% payout).
In the event the Grantee has a Termination of Service on account of death or Disability prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee will vest immediately on such date in the target number of Performance Shares.
In the event the Grantee has a Termination of Service on account of Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee will vest in the number of shares that the Grantee would have earned if the Grantee had remained employed for the entire Performance Period. The actual payout will not occur until after the end of the Performance Period, at which time Lennar’s performance during the Performance Period will be used to determine the number of shares that the Grantee would have earned if the Grantee had remained employed for the entire Performance Period. The payout to the Grantee who has a Termination of Service on account of Retirement will be made at approximately the same time as payouts are made to other Grantees with similar awards who are still employed by Lennar.
If within twenty-four months after a Change in Control, an event set forth in Section 13 of the Plan occurs, the Grantee will vest immediately on such date in the target number of Performance Shares.
Restricted Shares
The Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement shall be non-vested and subject to forfeiture as of the date of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares will vest as follows:
| Vesting Date |
% of Total Award Vesting |
Restricted Shares | ||
| February 14, 2022 | 1/3 | |||
| February 14, 2023 | 1/3 | |||
| February 14, 2024 | 1/3 | |||
| Total | 100% |
The Restricted Shares may be forfeited prior to vesting upon specified conditions as set forth in the Plan.
General
Lennar, or a subsidiary of Lennar, is required to collect from the Grantee and to pay withholding tax upon the vesting (or other income-recognition event) of any Shares. The Grantee will pay the withholding tax by the use of Shares becoming vested (or for which there was an income-recognition event) with a value as set forth in the Plan. If the Grantee is required to pay withholding tax with regard to shares that have not vested, a number of shares with a value equal to the amount of the withholding tax will be deemed immediately vested. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Shares may not be assigned or transferred while they remain subject to possible forfeiture.
The Plan contains additional provisions which will affect the Shares. The Shares are subject in all respects to the Plan’s terms and conditions as they may be amended from time to time in accordance with the Plan, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and shall control in the event of any conflict with any other terms of this Agreement. A copy of the Plan is enclosed in this package in the “Award Information” section.
