Ladies and Gentlemen:
LNR Property Corporation ("LNR"), a Delaware corporation, hereby
confirms its agreement with each of BT Xxxx. Xxxxx Incorporated and Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx Securities Corporation (collectively, the "Initial
Purchasers"), as set forth below.
1. The Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained,
LNR proposes to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $200,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of LNR's 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the
"Notes"). The Notes are to be issued under an indenture (the "Indenture") to be
dated as of March 24, 1998 between LNR and First Trust of New York, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").
The Notes 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 Notes, LNR has prepared a
preliminary offering memorandum dated March 2, 1998 (the "Preliminary
Memorandum") and a final offering memorandum dated March 19, 1998 (the "Final
Memorandum", the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum each herein
being referred to as a "Memorandum") setting forth or including a description of
the terms of the Notes, the terms of the offering of the Notes, a description of
LNR and any material developments relating to LNR occurring after the date of
the most recent historical financial statements included therein.
LNR understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an
offering of the Notes only on the terms and in the manner set forth in the Final
Memorandum and Section 8
2
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"), in transactions under Rule
144A, and outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation
S under the Act.
The Initial Purchasers and the direct and indirect transferees of
the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3 below),
pursuant to which LNR will agree, among other things, to file a registration
statement (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") registering the Notes or the Exchange Notes (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Act.
2. Representations and Warranties of LNR. LNR represents and
warrants to and agrees with each of the Initial Purchasers that:
(a) Neither the Preliminary Memorandum, nor the Final Memorandum nor
any amendment or supplement thereto as of the date thereof and at all
times subsequent thereto up to the Closing Date contained or will contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will 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, except that
the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2(a) do not
apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information relating to the Initial Purchasers or to their resale of
the Notes furnished to LNR in writing by the Initial Purchasers expressly
for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto.
(b) Each subsidiary listed on Exhibit 21.1 to LNR's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1997 is a Subsidiary (as defined
below ) and the subsidiaries listed on such Exhibit constitute all the
subsidiaries of LNR other than Subsidiaries that, if considered in the
aggregate as a single subsidiary, would not constitute a "significant
subsidiary" of LNR, within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of the Commission's
Regulation S-X. There are no "significant subsidiaries" of LNR other than
the Designated Subsidiaries and the Investment Affiliates. LW Real Estate
Investments, L.P. and the Land Partnership (as defined below) constitute
all the Investment Affiliates (as defined below). Each of LNR, the
Subsidiaries and the Investment Affiliates is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization and has all requisite corporate or other power and authority
to own its properties and conduct its business as now conducted and as
described in the Final Memorandum; each of LNR, the Subsidiaries and the
Investment Affiliates is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in all other jurisdictions where the ownership or leasing of its
properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification,
except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in
the
-2-
3
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the general affairs,
management, business, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
results of operations of LNR and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (any
such event, a "Material Adverse Effect"). For purposes of this Agreement,
a "Subsidiary" means a direct or indirect "subsidiary" of LNR, as such
term is defined in Rule 405 under the Act, financial results of which are
consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles with the
financial results of LNR on the consolidated financial statements of LNR.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following Subsidiaries are "Designated
Subsidiaries": Leisure Colony Management Corp., Lennar Capital Services,
Inc., Lennar Securities Holdings, Inc., Nevada Securities Holdings, Inc.,
LNR Land Partners SUB, Inc., LFS Asset Corp., Lennar Commercial
Properties, Inc., Lennar MBS, Inc. and LNR Sands Holdings, Inc. For
purposes of this Agreement, an "Investment Affiliate" means any entity in
which LNR, directly or indirectly, has an ownership interest, (i) the
financial results of which are not consolidated under generally accepted
accounting principles with the financial results of LNR on the
consolidated financial statements of LNR and (ii) which is a "significant
subsidiary" of LNR, as such term is defined within Rule 1-02(w) of the
Commission's Regulation S-X.
(c) As of the Closing Date, LNR will have the authorized, issued and
outstanding capitalization set forth in the Final Memorandum, except that
additional shares of common stock of LNR may have been issued since
November 30, 1997 upon the exercise of employee stock options; all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of LNR and each of the Subsidiaries
have been, and as of the Closing Date will be, duly authorized and validly
issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation
of any preemptive or similar rights; all of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Subsidiaries are owned, and, as of the Closing Date,
will be owned by LNR or another Subsidiary (except to the extent set forth
as "minority interests" on the consolidated balance sheet of LNR as of
November 30, 1997 included in the Final Memorandum) , free and clear of
all liens (other than liens created pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as
defined below)), encumbrances, equities and claims or restrictions on
transferability or voting (other than restriction on transferability
imposed by the Act and the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of certain
jurisdictions and restrictions on transferability and voting with respect
to Subsidiaries in which persons other than LNR or other Subsidiaries hold
interests); except as set forth in the Final Memorandum and except for the
class B common stock of LNR, there are no outstanding (i) options,
warrants or other rights to purchase, (ii) agreements or other obligations
to issue or (iii) other rights to convert any obligation into, or exchange
any securities for, shares of capital stock of or ownership interests in
LNR or any of the Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates. LNR indirectly
owns a 50% interest in Lennar Land Partners, a Delaware general
partnership (the "Land Partnership"). All of the interests in the
Investment Affiliates owned by LNR or a Subsidiary (including the 50%
interest in the Land Partnership) have been duly authorized and validly
issued and, except as otherwise disclosed in the Final Memorandum are, and
as of the Closing Date will be, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
equities and claims.

(d) LNR has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform each of its obligations under the Notes, the Exchange
Notes and the Private Exchange Notes (each as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Indenture). The Notes, when issued, will be in
the form contemplated by the Indenture. The Notes, the Exchange Notes and
the Private Exchange Notes have each been duly and validly authorized by
LNR and, when executed by LNR and authenticated by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and, in the case of the
Notes, when delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will have been duly executed,
issued and delivered and will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of LNR (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery
of the Indenture by the Trustee and the due authorization and delivery of
the Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against LNR in accordance
with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to
(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity and the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(e) LNR has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture. The Indenture
meets the requirements for qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (the "TIA"). The Indenture has been duly and validly
authorized by LNR and, when executed and delivered in accordance with its
terms (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Trustee), will have been duly executed and delivered and will constitute a
valid and legally binding agreement of LNR, enforceable against LNR in
accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be
subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefor may be brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(f) LNR has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized by LNR and, when executed and delivered by LNR (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Initial Purchasers), will
have been duly executed and delivered and will constitute a valid and
legally binding agreement of LNR, enforceable against LNR in accordance
with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be subject to
(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity and the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a

any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may be limited by
federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations.
(g) LNR has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the consummation
by LNR of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly
authorized by LNR. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
LNR.
(h) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body, or third party is required for the
performance of this Agreement by LNR or the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except (i) such as may be required under
and have been obtained or made under the Credit Agreement, (ii) such as
may be required under state securities or "Blue Sky" laws in connection
with the purchase and resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers and
(iii) such as may be required under applicable federal securities laws
with respect to the registration of the Exchange Notes and Private
Exchange Notes, if applicable, pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement. Neither LNR nor any of the Subsidiaries or the Land Partnership
is: (i) in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or
other comparable organizational documents; (ii) in breach or violation of
any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation applicable to any
of them or any of its respective properties or assets, except for any such
breach or violation which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) in breach of or default under
(nor has any event occurred which, with notice or passage of time or both,
would constitute a default under) or in violation of any of the terms or
provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
note, lease, license, franchise agreement, permit, certificate, contract
or other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or to
which its respective properties or assets are subject (collectively,
"Contracts"), except for any such breach, default, violation or event
which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Credit Agreement" means the
Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 5, 1997 among LNR, certain
Subsidiaries, the parties thereto in their capacities as lenders
thereunder and Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as
agent.
(i) The execution, delivery and performance by LNR of this
Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Exchange Notes, the Private
Exchange Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the fulfillment of
the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with or constitute or
result in a breach of or a default under (or an event which with notice or
passage of time or both would constitute a default under) or violation of
or cause an acceleration of any obligation under, or result in the
imposition or creation of (or the obligation to create or impose) a lien
on any property or assets of LNR or any Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate
with respect to: (i) the terms or provisions of any Contract, except for
any such conflict, breach, violation, default or event which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) the
certificate of incorporation or
-5-

bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of LNR or any of the
Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates; or (iii) (assuming compliance with
all applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws) any statute, judgment,
decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
body applicable to LNR, the Subsidiaries, the Investment Affiliates or any
of their respective properties or assets, except for any such conflict,
breach or violation which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.

Memorandum present fairly the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of LNR and its subsidiaries at the dates and for the
periods to which they relate and have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis,
except as otherwise stated therein, and comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder. The summary and selected financial and

Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(l) The pro forma financial statements (including the notes thereto)

material respects with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange

and guidelines with respect to pro forma financial statements and (C) have

in the Final Memorandum are reasonable and the adjustments used therein
are appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances
referred to therein.
(m) Except as set forth in the Final Memorandum, there is not
pending or, to the best knowledge of LNR, threatened any action, suit,

-6-

or to which any of its properties or assets are subject, before or brought
by any court, arbitrator or governmental agency or body, which, if
determined adversely to LNR or any such Subsidiary or Investment
Affiliate, would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect, or which seeks to restrain, enjoin, prevent the
consummation of or otherwise challenge the issuance or sale of the Notes
to be sold hereunder or the consummation of the other transactions
described in the Final Memorandum.
(n) Each of LNR, the Subsidiaries and the Investment Affiliates owns
or possesses adequate licenses or other rights to use all patents,

foregoing would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither LNR nor
any of the Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates has received any notice
of infringement of or conflict with (or knows of any such infringement of
or conflict with) asserted rights of others with respect to any patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or know-how which, if
such assertion of infringement or conflict were sustained, would,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Each of LNR, the Subsidiaries and the Investment Affiliates
possesses all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals
and other authorizations from, and has made or will have made all

and other tribunals presently required or necessary to own or lease, as
the case may be, and to operate its properties and to carry on its
business as set forth in the Final Memorandum ("Permits"), except where
the failure to obtain such Permits would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; each of LNR, the Subsidiaries
and the Investment Affiliates has fulfilled and performed all of its
obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which
allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or
termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the
rights of the holder of any such Permit except where such revocation,
termination or impairment would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and
neither LNR nor any Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate has received any
notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any
such Permit, except as described in the Final Memorandum or except where
such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Final Memorandum, except as described therein, there has been no
material adverse change or any fact, taken by itself, which could
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in the
general affairs, management, business, condition (financial or otherwise)
or results of operations of LNR and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of
business, or any loss of, or damage to, properties (whether or not
insured) which could reasonably be expected to affect materially and
adversely the general affairs, management, business, condition (financial
or otherwise) or results of operations of LNR and the Subsidiaries taken
as a
-7-

whole. Since the date of the latest balance sheet presented in the Final
Memorandum, except as expressly disclosed in or contemplated by the Final

filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax
returns, except where the failure to so file such returns would not,

paid all taxes shown as due thereon; and other than tax deficiencies which
LNR or any of the Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates is contesting in
good faith and for which LNR or such Subsidiary has provided adequate
reserves, there is no tax deficiency that has been asserted against LNR or
any Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate that would have, individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) The statistical and market-related data included in the Final
Memorandum are based on or derived from sources which LNR reasonably
believes to be reliable and accurate.
(s) Neither LNR nor any of the Subsidiaries nor any agent acting on
their behalf has taken or will take any action that might cause this
Agreement or the sale of the Notes to violate Regulation G, T, U or X of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in each case as in
effect, or as the same may hereafter be in effect, on the Closing Date.
(t) Each of LNR, the Subsidiaries and the Investment Affiliates has
good title to all personal property described in the Final Memorandum as

the Final Memorandum as being owned by it and good and valid title to a
leasehold estate in the real and personal property described in the Final
Memorandum as being leased by it free and clear of all liens, charges,
encumbrances or restrictions, except as described in the Final Memorandum
or to the extent the failure to have such title or the existence of such
liens, charges, encumbrances or restrictions would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. All leases, contracts and
agreements to which LNR or any Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate is a
party or by which LNR or such Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate is bound
are valid and enforceable against LNR or such Subsidiary or Investment
Affiliate, to the knowledge of LNR are valid and enforceable against the
other party or parties thereto and are in full force and effect with only

Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by
LNR and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of LNR,
enforceable against LNR in accordance with its terms, except that the
enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect relating to
-11-
12
creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity
and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Any certificate signed by any officer of LNR and delivered to any
Initial Purchasers or to counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by LNR to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters
covered thereby.
3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Notes. On the basis of the
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained and
subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, LNR agrees to issue and
sell to the Initial Purchasers, and each of the Initial Purchasers agrees
severally, but not jointly, to purchase from LNR, the Notes set forth opposite
such Initial Purchaser's name on Schedule I hereto, at 97.059% of their
principal amount.
One or more certificates in definitive form for the Notes that the
Initial Purchasers have agreed to purchase hereunder, and in such denomination
or denominations and registered in such name or names as the Initial Purchasers
request upon notice to LNR at least 48 hours prior to the Closing Date, shall
be delivered by or on behalf of LNR to the Initial Purchasers, against payment
by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers of the purchase price therefor by
wire transfer of immediately available funds payable to such account or
account as LNR shall specify prior to the Closing Date, or by such means as
the parties hereto shall agree prior to the Closing Date. Such delivery of and
payment for the Notes shall be made at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx,
One Citicorp Center, 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at
10:00 A.M., New York time, on March 24, 1998, or at such other place, time or
date as the Initial Purchasers and LNR may agree upon, such time and date of
delivery against payment being herein referred to as the "Closing Date." LNR
will make such certificate or certificates for the Notes available for
checking and packaging by the Initial Purchasers at the offices of BT Xxxx.
Xxxxx Incorporated in New York, New York or such other place as the Initial
Purchasers may designate, at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.
4. Offering by the Initial Purchasers. The Initial Purchasers
propose to make an offering of the Notes at the price and upon the terms set
forth in the Final Memorandum as soon as practicable after this Agreement is
entered into and as in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers is advisable.
5. Covenants of LNR. LNR covenants and agrees with the Initial
Purchasers that:
(a) LNR will not amend or supplement the Final Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto of which the Initial Purchasers and
counsel to the Initial Purchasers shall not previously have been advised
and furnished a copy for a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed
amendment or supplement and as to which the Initial Purchasers shall not
have given their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. LNR will promptly, upon the reasonable request of the Initial
Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers, make any amendments or
supplements to the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum that may
be necessary or advisable in connection with the resale of the Notes by
the Initial Purchasers.
(b) LNR will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers in arranging for
the qualification of the Notes for offering and sale under the securities
or "Blue Sky"
-PAGE 12-
13
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 Notes by the Initial Purchasers; provided,
however, that in connection therewith LNR shall not be required to qualify
as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of
process in any jurisdiction.
(c) If, at any time prior to the completion of the distribution by
the Initial Purchasers of the Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, any
event occurs or information becomes known as a result of which the Final
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 Final Memorandum in order
to comply with applicable law, LNR will promptly notify the Initial
Purchasers thereof and will prepare, at LNR's expense, an amendment or
supplement to the Final Memorandum that corrects such statement or
omission or effects such compliance.
(d) LNR will, without charge, provide to the Initial Purchasers and
to counsel for the Initial Purchasers as many copies of the Preliminary
Memorandum and the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto
as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.
(e) LNR will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes as
set forth under "Use of Proceeds" in the Final Memorandum.
(f) For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, LNR will furnish to
the Initial Purchasers copies of all reports and other communications
(financial or otherwise) furnished by LNR to the Trustee or the holders of
the Notes and, as soon as available, copies of any reports or financial
statements filed by LNR with the Commission or furnished to any national
securities exchange on which any class of securities of LNR may be listed.
(g) Prior to the Closing Date, LNR will furnish to the Initial
Purchasers, as soon as they have been prepared by or are available to LNR,
a copy of any unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of LNR
for any period subsequent to the period covered by its most recent
financial statements appearing in the Final Memorandum.
(h) Neither LNR nor any of its 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 Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the Act
of the Notes.
(i) LNR will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to,
engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising
-PAGE 13-
14
(as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act) in connection with
the offering of the Notes or in any manner involving a public offering
within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act.
(j) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, LNR will
make available, upon request, to any holder of such Notes and any
prospective purchasers thereof the information specified in Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Act, unless LNR is then subject to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(k) LNR will use its best efforts to (i) permit the Notes to be
designated PORTAL securities in accordance with the rules and regulations
adopted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD") relating to trading in the Private Offerings, Resales and Trading
through Automated Linkages market (the "PORTAL Market") and (ii) permit
the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The
Depository Trust Company.
(l) In connection with any Notes offered and sold in an offshore
transaction (as defined in Regulation S), LNR will not register any
transfer of such Notes 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 Notes in the form of
definitive Notes.
(m) For as long as any Notes or Exchange Notes remain outstanding,
LNR shall take such steps as shall be necessary to ensure that neither LNR
nor any subsidiary of LNR shall become an "investment company" within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder if LNR's becoming an investment company would
affect the ability of LNR to perform any of its obligations with regard to
the Notes or Exchange Notes or would affect any holder's rights with
regard to the Notes or Exchange Notes or restrict any holder's ability to
transfer the Notes or Exchange Notes.
6. Expenses. LNR 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 Preliminary Memorandum
and the Final 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 LNR, (iv) the preparation (including printing), issuance and
delivery to the Initial Purchasers of the Notes, (v) the qualification of the
Notes under state securities and "Blue Sky" laws, including filing fees and
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers relating
-PAGE 14-
15
thereto, (vi) the expenses of LNR in connection with any meetings with
prospective investors in the Notes, (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee,
including fees and expenses of its counsel, (viii) all expenses and listing fees
incurred in connection with the application for quotation of the Notes on the
PORTAL Market and (ix) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the
rating of the Notes. If the issuance and sale of the Notes provided for herein
is not consummated because any condition to the obligation of the Initial
Purchasers set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a)(i)(y) or 11(a)(v) hereof or
because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of LNR to perform all
obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied
hereunder (other than solely by reason of a default by the Initial Purchasers of
their obligations hereunder after all conditions hereunder have been satisfied
in accordance herewith), LNR will promptly reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon
demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, disbursements
and charges of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, counsel for the Initial Purchasers)
that shall have been incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the
proposed purchase and sale of the Notes.
7. Conditions of the Initial Purchasers' Obligations. The several
obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Notes shall, in
their sole discretion, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following
conditions on or prior to the Closing Date:
(a) On the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers shall have received
the opinion, dated as of the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial
Purchasers, of Xxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for LNR, in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to the effect that:
(i) Each of LNR, the Designated Subsidiaries and the Land
Partnership is duly organized, validly existing and, as to LNR and
the Designated Subsidiaries that are corporations, in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and, has all
requisite corporate or other power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in
the Final Memorandum. Each of LNR, the Designated Subsidiaries and
the Land Partnership is duly qualified to do business and in good
standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership or leasing of its
properties or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification and where LNR has informed such counsel the failure to
be so qualified would, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) LNR has the authorized capitalization as set forth in the
Final Memorandum; all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
LNR and each Designated Subsidiary have been duly authorized and
validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued
in violation of any preemptive or similar rights; all of the
outstanding shares
-PAGE 15-
16
of capital stock of the Designated Subsidiaries are owned by LNR or
another Subsidiary, insofar as such counsel is aware, free and clear
of all liens (other than those created pursuant to the Credit
Agreement), encumbrances, equities and claims or restrictions on
transferability (other than those imposed by the Act and the
securities or "Blue Sky" laws of certain jurisdictions)or voting;
LNR indirectly owns a 50% interest in the Land Partnership; such
interest in the Land Partnership has been duly authorized and
validly issued and is, insofar as such counsel is aware, free and
clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims.
(iii) Insofar as such counsel is aware, except as set forth in
the Final Memorandum, (A) there are no outstanding options, warrants
or other rights to purchase from LNR or any Designated Subsidiary or
the Land Partnership shares of capital stock or ownership interests
in LNR or any Designated Subsidiary or ownership interests in the
Land Partnership, (B) other than LNR's class B common stock, there
are no outstanding agreements or other obligations of LNR or any
Designated Subsidiary to issue, or other rights to cause LNR or any

obligation into, or exchange any securities for, shares of capital
stock or ownership interests in LNR or any Designated Subsidiary or
ownership interests in the Land Partnership and (C) no holder of
securities of LNR or any Designated Subsidiary (other than the
Registrable Notes) is entitled to have such securities registered
under a registration statement filed by LNR pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture.
(iv) LNR has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Notes, the
Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes, the Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement.
(v) The Indenture is in sufficient form for qualification
under the TIA; the Indenture has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by LNR, and (assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee) constitutes the valid
and legally binding agreement of LNR, enforceable against LNR in
accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may
be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in
effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity and the discretion of the court before which
any proceeding therefor may be brought (regardless of whether such

-PAGE 16-
17
(vi) The Notes are in the form contemplated by the Indenture.
The Notes have each been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by LNR and, when paid for by the Initial Purchasers in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement (assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the
Trustee and due authentication and delivery of the Notes by the
Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute the valid
and legally binding obligations of LNR, entitled to the benefits of
the Indenture, and enforceable against LNR in accordance with their
terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating
to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity
and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered

execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and due
authentication and delivery of the Exchange Notes and the Private
Exchange Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture),
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of LNR
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against

enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar

insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors'
rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity and the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and (B) any
-PAGE 17-
18
rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may be limited by
federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations.
(ix) LNR has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; this
Agreement and the consummation by LNR of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by LNR.
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by LNR.
(x) The Indenture, the Notes, the Exchange Notes and the
Registration Rights Agreement conform as to legal matters in all
material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Final
Memorandum.
(xi) Insofar as such counsel is aware there are (i) no legal
or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which LNR or
any Designated Subsidiary or the Land Partnership is a party or to
which the property or assets of LNR or any Designated Subsidiary or
the Land Partnership is subject which would be required under the
Act to be described in a registration statement or in a prospectus
and are not described in the Final Memorandum, or which seek to
restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise
challenge the issuance or sale of the Notes to be sold hereunder or
the consummation of the other transactions described in the Final
Memorandum and (ii) no contracts, agreements or other documents to
which LNR or any Designated Subsidiary or the Land Partnership is
a party which would be required under the Act to be described in a
registration statement or prospectus and are not described in the
Final Memorandum. The descriptions in the Final Memorandum of the
Credit Agreement, the AHG Acquisition Agreement, the partnership
agreement of the Land Partnership, the separation and distribution
agreement relating to the spin-off of LNR and the By-Laws of LNR
are accurate in all material respects and fairly summarize the
provisions of such agreements and documents which they purport to
summarize.
(xii) Insofar as such counsel is aware, neither LNR nor any
Designated Subsidiary is in violation of its certificate of
incorporation or bylaws or other comparable organizational documents
and the Land Partnership is not in violation of the partnership
agreement under which it was formed.
(xiii) The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, and
-PAGE 18-
19
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Notes
to the Initial Purchasers) will not conflict with or constitute or
result in a breach or a default under (or an event which with notice
or passage of time or both would constitute a default under) or
violation of or cause an acceleration of any obligation under, or
result in the imposition or creation of (or the obligation to create
or impose) a lien on any property or assets of LNR or any Subsidiary
or Investment Affiliate with respect to (i) the terms or provisions
of any of the terms or provisions of any material contract,
agreement or instrument of which such counsel is aware to which LNR
or any Designated Subsidiary or the Land Partnership is a party or
by which LNR or any Designated Subsidiary or the Land Partnership
may be bound, (ii) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or
other comparable organizational documents of LNR or any Designated
Subsidiary or the partnership agreement of the Land Partnership, or
(iii) (assuming compliance with all applicable state securities or
"Blue Sky" laws and assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Initial Purchasers in Section 8 hereof) any
statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation generally
applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Final
Memorandum or known to such counsel to be applicable to LNR or any
Designated Subsidiary or the Land Partnership.
(xiv) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
governmental authority is required for the issuance and sale by LNR
of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers or the other transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, except (i) as may be required under
applicable securities laws in connection with the registration under
the Act of the Notes, and the Private Exchange Notes, if applicable,
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) as may be
required under state securities or blue sky laws (as to which such
counsel need express no opinion).
(xv) Neither LNR nor any of its subsidiaries is, or
immediately after the sale of the Notes to be sold hereunder and the
application of the proceeds from such sale (as described in the
Final Memorandum under the caption "Use of Proceeds") will be, an
"investment company" as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
(xvi) No registration under the Act of the Notes is required
in connection with the sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers
as contemplated by this Agreement and the Final Memorandum or in
connection with the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial
Purchasers in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, and prior
to the commencement of the Exchange Offer (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) or the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
-PAGE 19-
20
Rights Agreement), the Indenture is not required to be qualified
under the TIA, in each case assuming (i) that the purchasers who buy
such Notes in the initial resale thereof are QIBs or Accredited
Investors, (ii) the accuracy of the Initial Purchasers'
representations in Section 8 and those of LNR contained in this
Agreement regarding the absence of a general solicitation in
connection with the sale of such Notes to the Initial Purchasers and
the initial resale thereof and (iii) the due performance by the
Initial Purchasers of the agreements set forth in Section 8 hereof
and the offering and transfer procedures set forth in the Final
Memorandum.
(xvii) Neither the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement nor the sale, issuance, execution or
delivery of the Notes will violate Regulation G, T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
(xviii) LNR had all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform each of its obligations under the AHG
Acquisition Agreement. The AHG Acquisition Agreement has been duly
and validly authorized, executed and delivered by LNR and
constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of LNR,
enforceable against LNR in accordance with its terms, except that
the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors'
rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity and the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
At the time the foregoing opinion is delivered, such counsel shall additionally
state that it has participated in conferences with officers and other
representatives of LNR, representatives of the independent public accountants
for LNR, representatives of the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial
Purchasers, at which conferences the contents of the Preliminary Memorandum and
the Final Memorandum and related matters were discussed, and, although it has
not independently verified and is not passing upon and assumes no responsibility
for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
Final Memorandum (except to the extent specified in subsection 7(a)(x)), no
facts have come to its attention which lead it to believe that the Final
Memorandum, on the date thereof or at the Closing Date, contained or contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (it being understood that such firm need express no belief with
respect to the financial statements and related notes thereto and the other
financial or statistical data included in the Final Memorandum).
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion
as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United
States and the laws of the States of New York and Delaware. Such counsel may
also state that with respect to opinions as to the laws of jurisdictions other
than Delaware and New York, such counsel has relied on the opinion of local

they, the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers are
justified in relying on such opinion of local counsel.

Closing Date, of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, counsel for the Initial
Purchasers, with respect to certain legal matters relating to this

reasonably require. In rendering such opinion, Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx
shall have received and may rely upon such certificates and other
documents and information as they may reasonably request to pass upon such
matters.

Touche LLP, independent public accountants for LNR, comfort letters, dated

Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of
the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date; LNR shall have
performed in all material respects all covenants and agreements and
satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied
hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and, except as set forth in the
Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto after
the date hereof) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial
statements in such Final Memorandum, there shall have been no event or
development that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The issuance and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement
shall not be enjoined (temporarily or permanently) and no restraining
order or other injunctive order shall have been issued or any action, suit
or proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to this Agreement
before any court or governmental authority.
(f) The Initial Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated
the Closing Date, signed by LNR's Chief Executive Officer and its chief
financial officer to the effect that:
(i) The representations and warranties of LNR in this
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as if made
on and as of the Closing Date, and LNR has performed in all material
respects all covenants and agreements and satisfied all conditions
on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to
the Closing Date;
(ii) At the Closing Date, since the date hereof or since the
date of the most recent financial statements in the Final Memorandum
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto after the date
hereof), no event or events have occurred, no information has
-PAGE 21-
22
become known nor does any condition exist that, individually or in
the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) Such officer has carefully examined the Final
Memorandum; in such officer's opinion and to the best of such
officer's knowledge, neither the Final Memorandum nor any amendment
or supplement thereto includes any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(iv) Since the date hereof or since the date of which
information is given in the Final Memorandum, except as described in
or contemplated by the Final Memorandum, neither LNR nor any of the
Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates has incurred any liabilities
or obligations direct or contingent (other than in the ordinary
course of business) that are material to LNR and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole or entered into any transactions not in the
ordinary course of business that are material to the business,
condition (financial or other) or results of operations or prospects
of LNR and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and there has not
been any change in the capital stock or long-term indebtedness of
LNR or any of the Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates that is
material to the business, condition (financial or other) or results
of operations or prospects of LNR and the Subsidiaries at and as of
the Closing Date, taken as a whole; and
(v) The sale of the Notes hereunder has not been enjoined

(g) On the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers shall have received
the Registration Rights Agreement executed by LNR and such agreement shall
be in full force and effect at all times from and after the Closing Date.

and the Trustee, and the Notes shall have been duly executed by LNR, and
the Notes shall have been duly authenticated by the Trustee.
(i) On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and
counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such further
documents, certificates and schedules or instruments relating to the
business, corporate, legal and financial affairs of LNR as they shall have
heretofore reasonably requested from LNR.
All such documents, opinions, certificates and schedules or instruments
delivered pursuant to this Agreement will comply with the provisions hereof only
if they are reasonably satisfactory in all material
-PAGE 22-
23
respects to the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers. LNR
shall furnish to the Initial Purchasers such conformed copies of such documents,
opinions, certificates and schedules or instruments in such quantities as the
Initial Purchasers shall reasonably request.
8. Offering of Notes, Restrictions on Transfer. Each of the Initial
Purchasers represents and warrants that it is a QIB. Each of the Initial
Purchasers agrees with LNR that (i) it has not and will not solicit offers for,
or offer or sell, the Notes 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 Notes only from, and will
offer and sell the Notes 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 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 ("foreign purchasers,"
which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United
States acting on a discretionary basis for foreign beneficial owners (other than
an estate or trust)); provided, that for the purposes of this clause (B) the
Initial Purchasers may rely upon the fact that in purchasing Notes such persons
are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided under the caption
"Transfer Restrictions" contained in the Final Memorandum.
9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) LNR agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Initial Purchasers and the affiliates, directors, officers,
agents, representatives and employees of the Initial Purchasers, and each other
person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Initial
Purchasers or any such affiliate, director, officer, agent, representative,
employee or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as any 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 any
material fact contained in (A) any Memorandum or any amendment or
supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, executed by LNR or based upon
written information furnished by or on behalf of LNR filed in any
jurisdiction in order to qualify the Notes under the securities or
"Blue Sky" laws thereof or filed with any securities association or
securities exchange (each, an "Application"); or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in any
Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
Application, a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to
-PAGE 23-
24
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading,
and will reimburse, promptly upon request, the Initial Purchasers and each such
affiliate, director, officer, agent, representative and employee and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Initial Purchasers, such affiliate, director, officer, agent, representative or
employee or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending
against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss,
claim, damage, xxxxxxxxx or action; provided, however, that LNR 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 untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers or their
resale of the Notes furnished to LNR by the Initial Purchasers specifically for
use therein; provided further, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
________________
in this Section 9(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Initial Purchaser to
the extent that it is determined by a final, non-appealable judgment that
(i) the Preliminary Memorandum contained an untrue statment of a material fact
or omitted to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, (ii) the sale to the person asserting
any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities was an initial resale of the
Notes by such Initial Purchaser, (iii) any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of such indemnified party results from the fact that such Initial
Purchaser failed to send or give to such person, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Notes to such person, a copy of the Final
Memorandum or the Final Memorandum as amended or supplemented, and LNR had
previously furnished copies thereof to such Initial Purchaser and (iv) the Final
Memorandum or the Final Memorandum as amended or supplemented corrected such
untrue statement or omission. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability that LNR may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. LNR shall
not be liable under this subsection (a) for any settlement of any claim or
action effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(b) The Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless LNR, its affiliates, directors, officers, agents,
representatives and employees and each other person, if any, who controls LNR
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which LNR or any such
affiliate, director, officer, agent, representative, employee or controlling
person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act 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 any material fact contained in any Memorandum or any amendments or
supplement thereto, or any Application or (ii) the omission or the alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in any
Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon
-24-
25
and in conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers
furnished to LNR by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein; and,
subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will
reimburse, promptly upon request, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by LNR or any such affiliate, director, officer, agent, representative,
employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending
against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise
have to the indemnified parties. No Initial Purchaser shall be liable under this
Section 9 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. LNR shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchasers, effect any
settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which the Initial Purchasers are or could have been a party, or indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by the Initial Purchasers, unless such settlement (A)
includes an unconditional written release of the Initial Purchasers, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not
include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act
by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified
party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9, 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 of the commencement
thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i)
will not relieve it from any liability under subsection (a) or (b) above unless
and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture or waiver 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 subsections (a) and
(b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party; provided, however, that 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 defendants in any such action include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of
such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party
or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select
separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified
party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will
not be
-25-
26
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other
expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the
indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however,
that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local
counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
designated by BT Xxxx. Xxxxx Incorporated in the case subsection (a) of this
Section 9 or LNR in the case of subsection (b) of this Section 9, representing
the indemnified parties under such subsection (a) or subsection (b), as the case
may be, who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying
party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified
party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be
liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by
such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying
party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for
in the preceding subsections of this Section 9 is unavailable to, or
insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each
indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative
benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the
allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable
law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof). The relative benefits received by LNR on the one
hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses)
received by LNR bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the
Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the parties 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 LNR on the one hand, or the Initial
Purchasers on the other, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or
alleged statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations
appropriate in the circumstances. LNR and the Initial Purchasers agree that it
would not be just and equitable if the amount of such contribution were
determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred
to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this subsection (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to
make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts,
commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchaser under this
Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any
-26-
27
damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions
to state a material fact, and 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 subsection (d), each affiliate,
director, officer, agent, representative and employee of the Initial Purchasers
and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each affiliate, director,
officer, agent, representative and employee of LNR and each person, if any, who
controls LNR within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as LNR.
10. Survival Clause. The respective representations, warranties,
agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of LNR, its officers and
the Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of
them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of LNR, any of
its officers or directors, the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person
referred to in Section 9 hereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes.
The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth
in Sections 6, 9 and 15 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless
of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
11. Termination. (a) This Agreement may be terminated in the sole
discretion of the Initial Purchasers by notice to LNR given prior to the Closing
Date in the event that LNR shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform,
in all material respects, all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part
to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if after the date
of this Agreement and at or prior to the Closing Date:
(i) either (x) LNR or any Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate
shall have sustained any loss or interference with respect to its
businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or
other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any
strike, labor dispute, slow down or work stoppage or any legal or
governmental proceeding, which loss or interference, in the sole
judgment of the Initial Purchasers, has had or has a Material
Adverse Effect, or (y) there shall have been, in the sole judgment
of the Initial Purchasers, any event or development that,
individually or in the aggregate, has or could be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect (including without limitation a
change in control of LNR or any Subsidiary or Investment Affiliate),
except in each case as described in or contemplated by the Final
Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto);
(ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market
shall have been suspended or maximum or minimum prices shall have
been established on any such exchange or market;

(iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New
York or United States authorities;
(iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of
hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, or (B)
an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed
conflict involving the United States or any other national or
international calamity or emergency or (C) any material change in
the financial markets of the United States that, in the case of (A),
(B) or (C) above and in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers,
makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering
or the delivery of the Notes as contemplated by the Final
Memorandum; or
(v) any securities of LNR shall have been downgraded or placed
on any "watch list" for possible downgrading by any nationally
recognized statistical rating organization.
