Dear Jonathan, 
 As you know,

connection with the Transaction, the Company has determined that you will be eligible to receive a retention bonus. 
 In consideration for,
among other things, your continued support following the date of the consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), you will be eligible to receive a retention bonus in an amount equal to $450,000 (the “Retention
Bonus”). The Retention Bonus, less applicable withholdings and deductions, shall be payable by the Company to you in a cash lump sum on the first payroll date of the Company following the earlier of (a) the one hundred twentieth
(120th) day following the Closing Date and (b) the date of termination of your employment by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in that certain Employment Agreement, dated May 31, 2016, by and between you, the Company, WCI Communities
Management, LLC and WCI Communities, LLC (the “Employment Agreement”)), by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or due to death or disability (such earlier date, the “Retention Date”),
subject to your continued employment through the Retention Date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by you without Good Reason prior to the Retention Date,
you shall have no right to receive the Retention Bonus. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Employment
Agreement, (i) the parties agree that any change in your title, duties or responsibilities to another senior executive position of Lennar Corporation as a result of the consummation of the Transaction and any reallocation of duties or
responsibilities, respectively, amongst executive officers of the Company and Lennar Corporation in connection with the Transaction, or any change in your annual cash bonus opportunity (either such change, a “CIC Adjustment”) may,
prior to the 120th day following the consummation of the Transaction, constitute Good Reason to terminate your employment pursuant to Paragraph 6D(ii) or (iv) of the Employment Agreement but, regardless of any CIC Adjustment, during the 120-day
period following the consummation of the Transaction, you will help facilitate the Transaction and the related integration in a manner commensurate with your senior executive position, (ii) the parties agree that any required notice of intention to
terminate for Good Reason may be provided at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason (including, without limitation, the occurrence of a CIC Adjustment on or following the consummation of the
Transaction) and any cure period shall commence on the Company’s receipt of such notice and end on the later of (a) the 30th day after the Company’s receipt of such notice and (b) the 120th day following the consummation of the
Transaction, and the termination due to an event constituting Good Reason (including, without limitation, the 

 
occurrence of a CIC Adjustment on or following the consummation of the Transaction) may occur at any time within two (2) years of the occurrence of such event (subject to any required notice and
cure periods), (iii) any bonus under the 2016 Management Incentive Compensation Plan to which you are currently eligible shall constitute Accrued Bonus (as defined in the Employment Agreement) in connection with any termination of employment on or
following the Closing Date, and (iv) you hereby waive all rights to payment of any Pro-Rated Bonus or Change in Control Pro-Rated Bonus (each as defined in the Employment Agreement) in connection with any termination of employment on or following
the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, “Base Salary” as referenced in Paragraph 6D(i) of the Employment Agreement refers to your then-current base salary as in effect before any applicable reduction (or, if greater, your base salary
as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date).
 Payment of the Retention Bonus hereunder is subject to the consummation of the
Transaction and the terms and conditions set forth in this letter and, in the event the Transaction does not occur, this letter shall be void ab initio.

The Retention Bonus reflects the importance of your contributions and our desire to reward you as a key member of our team. Thank you for
your dedication.

to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate.

4.1 Eligibility. If a Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination, then subject to and conditioned upon the
Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a Release in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof and subject to Sections 5.3 and 7 hereof: 

(a) The Company shall pay the Cash Severance to such Participant, in a single lump sum on the first payroll date occurring on
or after the 60th day following the Date of Termination; and 
 (b) If the Participant elects COBRA continuation coverage,
the Company shall pay for such health insurance coverage through the end of the Benefit Continuation Period (or, if shorter, until the date the Participant becomes eligible for coverage under another group health plan) at the same rate as it pays
for health insurance coverage for its active employees (with the Participant required to pay for any employee-paid portion of such coverage) (such continued coverage, the “Continued Benefits”). After the Benefit Continuation Period
concludes, the Participant shall be responsible for the payment of all premiums attributable to COBRA continuation coverage. Nothing herein provided, however, shall be construed to extend the period of time over which such COBRA continuation
coverage otherwise may be provided to the Participant and his dependents. 

  
 4 

 4.2 Release. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a
Participant shall not be eligible to receive any Severance under the Plan unless he or she first executes a Release within 21 days (or 45 days if necessary to comply with applicable law) after the Date of Termination and does not revoke such Release
within seven days thereafter. 
 4.3 Accrued Obligations. In addition to the Severance, if a Participant experiences
a Qualifying Termination, then (a) the Company shall pay the Participant any unpaid base salary or hourly wage rate due for periods prior to and including the Date of Termination; and (b) the Company shall pay the Participant all of the
Participant’s accrued and unused vacation and paid time-off through the Date of Termination in accordance with the applicable Company program or policy. 

4.4 Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if (a) prior to a Change in Control,
a Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated for any reason, (b) on or after the Change in Control, such Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated other than due to a Qualifying
Termination, or (c) a Participant fails to timely execute a Release (or revokes a Release), such Participant shall have no right to receive any Severance under this Section 4. The Company shall, promptly following any Qualifying
Termination (and in any event within seven (7) days thereafter), furnish a Release in executable format to the affected Participant. 

5. Section 409A. 

5.1 General. To the extent applicable, this Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Plan may not be either compliant with or exempt from Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments
to this Plan or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take such other actions, that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under
Section 409A, including without limitation, actions intended to (a) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Plan from Section 409A, and/or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided,
however, that (i) no such action shall be taken without a Participant’s written consent to the extent that any such action would adversely affect such Participant’s rights hereunder, and (ii) this Section 5.1 shall not
create any obligation on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Company or any of its Affiliates have any liability for failing to do so. 

  
 5 

 5.2 Release. Any Severance subject to Section 409A that is subject to
execution of a Release which may be executed and/or revoked in a calendar year following the calendar year in which the payment event (such as termination of employment) occurs shall commence payment only in the calendar year in which the
consideration period or, if applicable, release revocation period ends, as necessary to comply with Section 409A. 

5.3 Non-qualified Deferred Compensation; Potential Six-Month Delay. For purposes of any provision of this Plan
providing for the payment of any amount or benefit upon or following a termination of employment that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have
occurred unless such termination is also a Separation from Service and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “Separation
from Service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no amounts shall be paid to any Participant under this Plan during the six-month period following such Participant’s Separation from Service to the extent that paying
such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Plan would result in a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first
business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Participant’s death), the
Participant shall receive payment of a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Participant during such six-month period without interest thereon. 

6. No Mitigation. No Participant shall be required to seek other employment or service or to attempt in any way to
reduce or mitigate any Severance payable under this Plan, and the amount of any such Severance shall not be reduced by any other compensation paid or provided to any Participant following such Participant’s termination of employment. 

7. Section 280G. If any payment due under the Plan, together with all other payments and benefits that a
Participant receives or is entitled to receive from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or related entities (all such payments, the “Total Payments”), would (if paid or provided) constitute an excess parachute payment
for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, the amounts that are otherwise payable under the Plan will either (a) be delivered in full, or (b) be limited to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Total Payments
will fail to be tax-deductible to the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state or local income and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed under
Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by the Participant, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of payments and benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such payments and/or benefits may be subject to the excise
tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. All determinations required to be made under this Section 7 shall be made by an accounting firm or consulting group with experience in performing calculations regarding the applicability of
Section 280G of the Code selected by the Company and such determinations shall be final and binding on all Persons. 

  
 6 

 8. Successors. 

8.1 Company Successors. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, any Successor
Entity and their successors and assigns. Any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume
and agree to perform the obligations of the Company under this Plan. For all purposes of this Plan, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets (whether by contract or by operation of law).

 8.2 Participant Successors. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Participant’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, legatees or other beneficiaries. If a Participant shall die while any amount remains payable to such Participant hereunder, all such amounts
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of such Participant’s estate. 

9. Notices. All communications relating to matters arising under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when hand delivered, faxed or mailed by reputable overnight carrier or United States certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed, if to a Participant, to the address on file with the Company and, if to the Company, to
the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

any other Person any right to continue as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (b) constitute any contract of employment or service or agreement to continue employment or service for any particular
period, or (c) interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate a service relationship with any Participant, with or without Cause. 

  
 7 

 10.3 Termination and Amendment of Plan. Prior to the consummation of the
first Change in Control to occur following the adoption of this Plan, this Plan may be amended or terminated by the Administrator at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion. For a period of one year from and after the consummation of
such Change in Control, this Plan may not be amended, modified, suspended or terminated except with the express written consent of each Participant who would be adversely affected by any such amendment, modification, suspension or termination. After
the expiration of such one-year period, this Plan may again be amended or terminated by the Administrator at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion (provided, that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the rights of
any Participant who has experienced a Qualifying Termination on or prior to such amendment or termination). 
 10.4
Withholding. The Company and its Affiliates shall have the authority and the right to deduct and withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any Severance
payable under this Plan. 
 10.5 Benefits not Assignable. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, (a) no
right or interest of any Participant under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in
any manner, (b) no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective and (c) no right or interest of any Participant under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Participant. When a
payment is due under this Plan to a Participant who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative. 

10.6 Applicable Law. This Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida
without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof, to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control. 

10.7 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Plan shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 10.8 Captions.
The captions contained in this Plan are for convenience only and shall have no bearing on the meaning, construction or interpretation of the Plan’s provisions. 

10.9 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company or any Successor Entity. 

10.10 Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan with respect to Severance payments. With
respect to any Severance payments not yet made to a Participant, nothing contained in the Plan shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company or any Successor Entity.
