EX-10.1

This PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 1, 2017 by and between Taylor Morrison Home Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and each of the parties identified on Schedule I hereto (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).

A. Each Seller desires to sell to the Company, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the number of common units (the “Common Units”) of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership, a limited partnership formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Partnership”), and a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto (each such Common Unit together with its corresponding share of Class B Common Stock to be sold by such Seller, a “Purchased Interest” of such Seller);

B. The Company desires to purchase each Seller’s Purchased Interests at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Purchases”);

C. The Company is conducting a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of its Class A common stock (the “Underwritten Shares”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated May 1, 2017 (the “Underwriting Agreement”);

D. The Company intends to use the proceeds received from the Public Offering to complete the Purchases.

E. The board of directors of the Company has approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which approval is intended to exempt each disposition by each Seller of its respective Purchased Interests to the extent that it or any person affiliated with it may be deemed an officer or director of the Company, including a “director by deputization,” from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

(a) At the Closing (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth in paragraphs l(b) and l(c) below, each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver to the Company 100% of its right, title and interest in and to such Seller’s Purchased Interests, and the Company hereby agrees to purchase such Purchased Interests at a purchase price per Purchased Interest equal to the per share price at which the Company sells the Underwritten Shares to the underwriters in the Public Offering (the “Per Share Purchase Price”).

(b) The obligations of the Company to purchase the Purchased Interests from any Seller shall be subject to (i) the closing of the Public Offering, (ii) the representations and warranties of such Seller being true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing and (iii) such Seller having complied in all material respects with all of the covenants required to be performed by such Seller on or prior to the Closing.

(c) The closing of the sale of the Purchased Securities (the “Closing”) shall take place immediately following the closing of the Public Offering, at the offices of the Company, or at such other time and place as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Sellers.

(d) At the Closing, each Seller shall deliver to the Company or as instructed by the Company duly executed transfer powers relating to such Seller’s Purchased Interests and the Company agrees to deliver to such Seller the Applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in writing by such Seller. “Applicable Purchase Price” means, with respect to any Seller, the product of the Per Share Purchase Price and the aggregate number of Purchased Interests being sold by such Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates intends to withhold any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the Internal Revenue Service issues a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (or similar Notice) that the Company was required to withhold and remit tax under Section 1445 of the Code on the proceeds payable to a Seller pursuant to this Agreement, then at the Company’s request, such Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide within 30 days evidence (intended to be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-1(e)(3)) that such Seller has filed all federal income tax returns required to be filed by such Seller (and paid all federal income tax shown as due from such Seller on such returns) with respect to the Purchase from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, at the election of such Seller, such Seller may provide any such evidence directly to the Internal Revenue Service and not to the Company or any other third-party.

2. Company Representations. In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Sellers that:

(a) Such Seller is duly organized and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

(f) Such Seller (either alone or together with its advisors) has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchases.

or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party shall have specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

(a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by any party in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(c) Complete Agreement. This Agreement and any other agreements ancillary thereto and executed and delivered on the date hereof embody the complete agreement and understanding between the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

(e) Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Sellers and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this paragraph shall be null and void.

(f) No Third Party Beneficiaries or Other Rights. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein express or implied shall give or shall be construed to confer any legal or equitable rights or remedies to any person other than the parties to this Agreement and such successors and permitted assigns.

(g) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Each of the parties (i) irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York, New York, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, in any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such suit, action or proceeding, whether arising under contract, tort or otherwise, shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the federal court of the Southern District of New York (provided, that, in the event that subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable in that court, then all such claims shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in any other state or federal court sitting in New York, New York), (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding relating to or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs in any other court, tribunal, forum or proceeding. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph. Each of the parties agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it in accordance with this paragraph, provided, that nothing in the foregoing sentence shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

(h) Mutuality of Drafting. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of the Agreement.

(i) Remedies. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages will not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement, that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall cause the other parties irreparable harm, and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance or other injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Agreement.

(j) Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and each of the Sellers. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Moreover, no failure by any party to insist upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy arising out of a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions or any other breaches of this Agreement.

(k) Further Assurances. Each of the Company and the Sellers shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and shall take such further action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Purchase Agreement on the date first written above.
