Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is dated as of April ___, 2004, by and among Bowden
Building Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”) and John Laguardia (the “Executive”).

          WHEREAS, the Company, Levitt Corporation, a Florida corporation (“Levitt”), ALH Tennessee

(“ALH”), have entered into that certain stock purchase agreement, of even date herewith (the

outstanding capital stock of the Company to Levitt, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Purchase Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive in an executive capacity and the
Executive desires to accept such employment, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Executive is a party to an Employment Agreement with the Company dated July 1,
2000 (the “Former Agreement”), which will be terminated as of the date of this Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of construction of homes (the “Business”), and

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth in this
Agreement, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

Term, agree to renew the Agreement and extend the Term, and all provisions of this Agreement shall
remain in effect during any renewals and extensions of the Term.

-1-

 

     3. Services.

          3.1 Office and Duties. The Executive shall report to the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) of the Company and the President of Levitt (the “Levitt President”). During the Term, the
Executive shall serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, with such duties, authority and responsibility as are commensurate with such
position, subject to oversight and direction of the Board and the Levitt President. In exercising
his duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Executive shall have all the power and authority
necessary to fulfill and discharge his duties and responsibilities hereunder and shall abide by any
lawful directions given by the Board or the Levitt President. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Executive shall not, in connection with his employment hereunder, cause or permit the Company or
any of its subsidiaries to enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with, or pay any
fees or other amounts to any person not dealing at arm’s length with the Executive without first
disclosing the nature of such relationship to the Board and obtaining the prior written approval of
the Levitt President to any such agreement, commitment, arrangement or payment. The Executive
shall be responsible for such additional duties commensurate with his position not materially
inconsistent with the foregoing as may be reasonably determined by the Levitt President from time
to time.

          3.2 Best Efforts. During the Term, the Executive shall diligently and competently
devote the Executive’s best efforts, full business time and energies to the business and affairs of
the Company, and shall use his best efforts, skills and abilities to promote the interests of the
Company and otherwise to discharge his obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree
that the Executive does not live in the area in which the Company’s executive offices or Business
is located and that he will not be required to change his residency from Central Florida or
anywhere else the Executive elects to live.

     4. Compensation.

          4.1 Annual Salary. During the Term, the Executive shall receive a base salary at the
annual rate of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with
the Company’s normal payroll practices or at such other reasonable intervals as may from time to
time be used by the Company for paying its employees generally. In addition to the foregoing,
within five (5) business days after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the
Executive the sum of $274 for each day from January 1, 2004 until the date of this Agreement.

          4.2 Bonus. The annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) shall be paid to the Executive from
a bonus pool established by the Company (the “Bonus Pool”), and the Executive shall be entitled to
one-half (1/2) of the amount dedicated by the Company to the Bonus Pool. Payments of Annual Bonus
amounts to the Executive shall be made in cash within thirty (30)

-2-

 

days after the issuance by Levitt’s auditor of its audit report for the applicable fiscal
year. For purposes of the Annual Bonus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, the Bonus
Pool will be calculated for the complete fiscal year commencing as of January 1, 2004; provided
however, that the ROE (as defined below) shall be calculated on the basis of the stockholders’
equity of the Company as of the date of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement expires or
terminates on a day other than the last day of a fiscal year, the Executive shall be entitled to a
pro rata share of the amount that would otherwise have been payable to him had he been an employee
during the entire fiscal year based on the number of days he was employed during such fiscal year.
The Company shall dedicate amounts to the Bonus Pool, which shall be calculated as follows:

          (a) First, the Company shall not dedicate any amounts to the Bonus Pool unless the actual net,
after-tax income of the Company (“Net Income”) after giving effect to the dedication by the Company
of an amount, if any, to the Bonus Pool for the fiscal year of the Company to which the Annual
Bonus relates and the Stockholders’ Equity at the beginning of such fiscal year (“Equity”) (Net
Income and Equity to be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as
applied by Levitt consistently with past practices (“GAAP”)) is sufficient to provide the Company
with an aggregate return on equity (“ROE”) (calculated by dividing Net Income by Equity) of at
least twenty percent (20%) (the “Minimum ROE”); and

          (b) Second, if the ROE is greater than the Minimum ROE, then the Company shall next dedicate
to the Bonus Pool one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Income before all applicable taxes on
income, as determined in accordance with GAAP (“PBT”) after giving effect to the dedication by the
Company of an amount, if any, to the Bonus Pool for the fiscal year of the Company to which the
Annual Bonus relates in excess of the PBT necessary to provide the Company with the Minimum ROE
(the “Minimum PBT”) until such time as the amount dedicated by the Company to the Bonus Pool is
equal to twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate PBT of the Company; and

          (c) Third, thereafter, if the ROE is greater than the Minimum ROE and the Minimum PBT is
greater than the Minimum PBT multiplied by one hundred twenty percent (120%), then the Company
shall dedicate twenty percent (20%) of the PBT in excess of the Minimum PBT to the Bonus Pool.

          (d) For illustration purposes only, Exhibit A sets forth certain examples of the
calculation of the Annual Bonus under the assumptions set forth therein.

     5. Reimbursement of Expenses; Benefits.

          5.1 Reimbursement of Expenses. Upon submission of appropriate documentation and in
specific accordance with such guidelines as may be reasonably established from time to time by the
Company, the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable, out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by him during the Term in connection with the

-3-

 

proper and efficient discharge of his duties hereunder, including, without limitation, all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive for travel to and from the Executive’s residence in
Central Florida to the Company’s corporate offices and locations in which its business is
conducted, as well as reasonable expenses for meals, hotel or other accommodations, and other
customary items during any such trips.

          5.2 Employee Benefit Plans and Programs. During the Term, the Executive shall be
entitled to participate in the Company’s and Levitt’s employee benefit plans and programs. The
Executive’s service with the Company or any current or former affiliate of the Company, including
ALH and its affiliates, prior to the Effective Date shall be counted for purposes of all
eligibility, waiting periods and vesting requirements from time to time in effect. Nothing in this
Agreement shall require the Company at any time to create or continue any such plan or program or
to fix, amend or retain eligibility requirements so as to include the Executive.

          5.3 Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation during each calendar
year in such amounts as are commensurate with his position, or such other amount of paid vacation
as the Levitt President and the Executive may mutually agree, taking into consideration the
reasonable business needs of the Company.

     6. Termination. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated
prior to the end of the Term by the Company or the Executive without any breach of this Agreement
only under the following circumstances:

          6.1 Death. This Agreement and the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall
terminate immediately and automatically upon the Executive’s death.

          6.2 Disability. This Agreement and the Executive’s employment under this Agreement
may be terminated at the Company’s option, if the Executive shall suffer a “Disability,” which
shall mean any incapacity, illness or disability of the Executive which renders the Executive
mentally or physically unable to perform his duties under this Agreement for a continuous period of
one hundred eighty (180) days during the Term. Termination due to Disability shall be deemed to
have occurred upon the first day of the month following the determination of Disability as defined
in the preceding sentence.

          6.3 Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement
for Cause (as hereinafter defined). “Cause,” as to the Executive, shall mean: (a) committing fraud
against the Company or embezzlement of Company property; (b) being convicted of a felony or any
other crime that involves moral turpitude under applicable laws of the United States or any state
thereof; (c) an action or omission of the Executive which constitutes a willful and material breach
of this Agreement which is not the result of the Executive’s death or disability and which is not
cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Executive of written notice of the same from
the Board, or if such act or omission cannot reasonably be cured with such fifteen (15) day period,
the Executive shall have commenced such

-4-

 

cure and be diligently pursuing such cure in good faith, or (d) the breach of any
representation or warranty by ALH as set forth in the Purchase Agreement of which breach the
Executive had actual knowledge as of the date of this Agreement.

          6.4 Without Cause. The occurrence of any of the following shall be deemed to be a
termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement “Without Cause:” (a)
any action taken by the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, which
termination shall only be effective upon written notice to the Executive; (b) any action taken by
the Company to materially diminish, or attempt to materially diminish, the duties, responsibilities
or authority of the Executive if, within fifteen (15) days after the Executive becomes aware of
such action, the Executive notifies the Company in writing of his election to terminate his
employment with the Company; (c) any action taken by the Company to materially change, or attempt
to materially change the Executive’s title or his position in the hierarchy of the Company if,
within fifteen (15) days after the Executive becomes aware of such action, the Executive notifies
the Company in writing of his election to terminate his employment with the Company; or (d) any
breach of this Agreement by the Company. Failure of the Executive to timely terminate his
employment upon the occurrence of an event described in subsections (b), (c) or (d) above shall not
result in a waiver of any right the Executive may have to terminate his employment based upon any
future occurrence.

     7. Payments After Termination. If this Agreement or the Executive’s employment
hereunder are terminated for the reasons set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, then the
Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall receive the Base Salary through the
date of termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the prorated portion of the
Annual Bonus, if any, as applicable, accrued during the fiscal year and through the date of
termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If this Agreement or the Executive’s
employment hereunder are terminated for the reasons set forth in Sections 6.3 hereof, then the
Executive shall receive the Base Salary through the date of termination in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, then the
Executive shall receive the Base Salary through the date of termination in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the prorated portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, as applicable,
accrued during the fiscal year and through the date of termination and shall receive the Base
Salary that would have otherwise been payable for the remainder of the Term (assuming no extensions
or modifications thereof), which amounts shall be payable in installments in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices or at such other reasonable intervals as may from time to time
be used by the Company for paying its employees generally. Thereafter, the Executive shall not be
entitled to receive any further compensation or benefits from the Company whatsoever.

     8. Non-Competition; Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation. Executive acknowledges and
recognizes the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business and that the goodwill and
patronage of the Company’s clients constitute a substantial asset of the Company having been
acquired through considerable time, money and effort.

-5-

 

          8.1 Non-Competition. During Executive’s employment with the Company and, if the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3 or by
the Executive other than pursuant to Section 6.4, for a period of two (2) years from the date of
termination of employment or expiration of this Agreement (the “Period of Non-Competition”), and
within a radius of fifty (50) miles of any location at which the Company is engaged in business as
of the date of cessation of employment, Executive shall not, without the Company’s prior written
consent, directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, act as agent,
consultant or advisor for, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or
be connected in any manner through the investment of capital, lending of money or property,
rendering of services or otherwise, with, any business of the type and character engaged in and
competitive with the Company’s business. For these purposes, ownership of securities of three
percent (3%) or less of any class of securities of a public company shall not be considered to be
competition with the Company’s business or a violation of the NDA.

          8.2 Reasonable Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this Section 8 are
considered by the parties to be reasonable for the purpose of protecting the value of the Company’s
business and goodwill of the Company. It is the desire and intent of the parties to this Agreement
that the provisions of this Section 8 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws
and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular
provision or portion of this Section 8 is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, then this
Section 8 will be deemed so as to permit the invalid or unenforceable provision or portion to be
enforced as nearly as possible according to its original terms and intent to eliminate such
invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that such amendment is to apply only with the
respect to the operation of such section in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication
is made.

          8.3 Breach. The parties recognize that the performance of the obligations under this
Section 8 by the Executive is special, unique and extraordinary in character, and that in the event
of the breach by the Executive of the terms and conditions of this Section 8, the Company will
suffer irreparable injury and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy at law and
that no remedy at law may exist. Accordingly, in the event of such breach, the Company will be
entitled, if it so elects and without the posting of any bond or security, to institute and
prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, in law or in equity, to enforce the
specific performance of this Agreement by the Executive or to enjoin the Employee from breaching
this Section 8.

          8.4 Tolling. In the event of a breach or violation by the Executive of any of the
provisions of this Section 8, the running of the Period of Non-Competition shall be tolled with
respect to the Executive during the continuance of any actual breach or violation. In addition to
any other rights or remedies the Company may have hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to
receive from the Executive reimbursement for all attorneys’ fees and expenses

-6-

 

incurred by the Company in enforcing this Agreement and shall have the right and remedy to
require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies,
accruals or other benefits derived or received, directly or indirectly, by such the Executive from
the action constituting a breach or violation of this Agreement.

          8.5 Non-Solicitation and Non-Disclosure. Executive further agrees that he shall
execute Levitt’s standard form of non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the “NDA”). Executive also agrees that he shall use his reasonable efforts to
obtain from all employees of the Company a similar, duly executed NDA.

          8.6 Exceptions to Restrictive Covenants. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of
any non-solicitation, non-compete or non-disclosure agreement or provisions to which the Executive
may at any time execute in favor of the Company, Levitt, or any of their respective affiliates
including, without limitation, the provisions of this Agreement and the NDA (the “Restrictive
Covenants”), the Executive shall not be deemed to be in breach of any Restrictive Covenants as a
result of the Executive (i) owning, directly or indirectly, not more than three percent (3%) of any
class of securities of a public company, or (ii) making any investment in or loans to, or
consulting with or providing services (other than as an employee) to, any company that engages in
business in Central Florida of which the Employee’s family relatives own, directly or indirectly,
at least a majority interest.

     9. Withholding. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be
made by the Company hereunder to the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries shall be
subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as
the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.

     10. Notices. All notices, request, demands or other communications by the terms
hereof required or permitted to be given by one party to another shall be given in writing by
personal delivery, by facsimile or by regular mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such other party
