Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Hovnanian is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto validly approved by stockholders to limit or eliminate the personal liability of the members of its board of directors for violations of the directors' fiduciary duty of care.

        Article EIGHTH of Hovnanian's Amended Certificate of Incorporation contains the following provisions with respect to indemnification:

            No director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date on which this Article becomes effective. Any repeal or modification of this Article Eighth shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

II-1

        K. Hovnanian is a California corporation. Section 317 of the California Corporations Code provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, other than in an action by or on behalf of the corporation to obtain a favorable judgment for itself, because such person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In the case of suits by or on behalf of a corporation to obtain a judgment in its favor, a corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such proceeding because such person is or was the corporation's agent, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred, if the person acted in good faith in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, except that no such indemnification may be made for claims as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of that person's duty to the corporation, unless and then only to the extent a court determines otherwise.

        Article FIFTH of K. Hovnanian's Articles of Incorporation contains the following provisions with respect to indemnification:

        The Corporation is authorized, to the fullest extent permissible under California law, to indemnify its agents (as defined by Section 317 of the California Corporations Code) whether by bylaw, agreement or otherwise, for breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders in excess of that expressly permitted by California Code Section 317, and to advance defense expenses to its agents in connection with such matters as those expenses are incurred; provided, indemnification shall not be provided for any acts or omissions or transactions from which pursuant to applicable statute(s) a director may not be relieved of liability nor under circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited by the statute covering the indemnification of agents.

        Hovnanian maintains a liability insurance policy providing coverage for its directors and officers, the directors and officers of K. Hovnanian and the directors and officers of certain of its other subsidiaries in an amount up to $50,000,000.

Item 16. Exhibits.

        See Index to Exhibits.

Item 17. Undertakings.

        The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

        (1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

            (i)    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

            (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the from of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate

II-2


    offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and

            (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

        (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Hovnanian's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the provisions set forth in response to Item 15, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

1. Introductory. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell [         ] shares (“Firm Shares”) of its [          ]% Series A Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25,000.00 per share), par value $.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and also proposes to issue and sell, at the option of the Underwriters, an aggregate of not more than [         ] additional shares (“Optional Shares”) of its Series A Preferred Shares as set forth below. The Firm Shares and the Optional Shares, if any, will be issued to Wachovia Corporate Trust (the “Depositary”) which in turn will issue depositary shares (such depositary shares relating to the Firm Shares the “Firm Depositary Shares” and relating to the Optional Shares the “Optional Depositary Shares” and collectively, the “Depositary Shares” or the “Securities”), each representing 1/1,000th of a Series A Preferred Share, pursuant to the terms of a Deposit Agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) to be entered into among the Company and the Depositary.  The Depositary Shares will be evidenced by Depositary Receipts issued pursuant to the Deposit Agreement (the “Depositary Receipts”).  The Series A Preferred Shares relating to the Depositary Shares are hereinafter referred to as the “Underlying Preferred Shares”.  The Company hereby agrees with the several Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as Representatives (the “Representatives,” which term, if the Underwriters are the same as the Representatives, shall be deemed to refer to the Underwriters), as follows:

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters that:

 

(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-125738) relating to the Securities, including a form of prospectus, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), has been declared effective under the Act and is not proposed to be amended in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Effective Date” means the “effective date of the registration statement” (within the meaning of Rule 158(c) under the Act) of the Registration Statement or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Such registration statement, as amended at the Effective Date, including all material incorporated by

 


 

reference therein, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The form of prospectus, as supplemented relating to the Securities, as first filed with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) (“Rule 424(b)”) under the Act and Section 5(a) hereof, including all material incorporated by reference in such prospectus and as supplemented, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” As of the Effective Date, the Company was eligible to use Form S-3 under the Act. No document has been or will be prepared or distributed in reliance on Rule 434 under the Act.  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, shall be contemplated by the Commission.

 

(b) (i) On the Effective Date, the Registration Statement conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (“Rules and Regulations”) and did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) on the date of this Agreement, the Registration Statement conforms, and at the time of filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and neither of such documents includes, or will include, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits, or will omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading except that the foregoing does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 7(b) hereof.

 

(c) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission and except as otherwise subsequently disclosed therein, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and, when read together and with the other information in the Prospectus, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading.

 

(d) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has been duly incorporated or organized, is validly existing as a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or partnership, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has the corporate (or equivalent) power and authority to carry on its business as described in the Prospectus and to own, lease and operate its properties, and each is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or partnership, as the case may be, authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue the Firm Shares to the Depositary and cause the Depositary to issue Depositary Shares to the Underwriters and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of [        ] per Depositary Share, the respective numbers of Depositary Shares set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto.

 

The Company will cause to be delivered against payment of the purchase price by the Underwriters the Securities in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities in definitive form (“Global Securities”) deposited with the Depositary as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Interests in any permanent Global Securities will be held only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances described in the Prospectus. Payment for the Securities shall be made by the Underwriters in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. or as the Company specifies at the office of Davis Polk & Wardwell at 10:00 A.M., (New York time), on [                     ], 2005, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representatives and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “First Closing Date,” against delivery to the Depositary as custodian for DTC of the Global Securities representing all of the Securities. For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Depositary Shares sold pursuant to the offering. The Global Securities will be made available for checking at the above office of Davis Polk & Wardwell at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.

 

In addition, upon written notice from the Representatives given to the Company from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Prospectus, the Underwriters may purchase all or less than all of the Optional Depositary Shares at the purchase price per Depositary Share (including any accumulated dividends thereon to the related Optional Closing Date) to be paid for the Firm Depositary Shares. The Company agrees to issue Optional Shares to the Depositary, and to cause the Depositary to issue to the Underwriters Optional Depositary Shares, the number of such Optional Depositary Shares to equal the number specified in such notice and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional Depositary Shares. Such Depositary Shares shall be purchased for the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the number of Firm Depositary Shares set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name bears to the total number of Firm Depositary Shares (subject to adjustment by the Representatives to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm Depositary Shares.  No Optional Depositary Shares shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Depositary Shares previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Optional Depositary Shares or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representatives to the Company.

 

Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Depositary Shares, being herein referred to as an “Optional Closing Date”, which may be the First Closing Date (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any, being sometimes referred to as a “Closing Date”), shall be determined by the Representatives but shall be not later than five full business days after written notice of election to purchase Optional Depositary Shares is given. The Company will issue the Optional Shares to the Depositary and cause the Depositary to deliver the Optional Depositary Shares being purchased on each Optional Closing Date to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. or as the Company specifies, at the above office of Davis Polk & Wardwell.  The certificates for the Optional Depositary Shares being purchased on each Optional Closing Date will be Global Securities, in such denominations and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, and will be made available for checking and

The Prospectus shall be so furnished as soon as practicable but in no event later than the second business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof.

 

(b) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) 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 and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter through the Representatives: the fourth and eighth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting”; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(e) of this Agreement.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section or Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof or Section 9 hereof, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof or Section 9 hereof. 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 satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section or Section 9, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs

of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault 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 the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim that is the subject of this Section 7(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 7(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

 

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 or Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter or the QIU (as hereinafter defined) within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director and officer of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act.

 

8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default(s) in its or their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on either the First or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default(s) and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company, except as provided in Section 10 hereof (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Depositary Shares after the First

 

10


 

Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Depositary Shares or any Optional Depositary Shares purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

 

9. Qualified Independent Underwriter.  The Company hereby confirms that at its request Credit Suisse First Boston LLC has without compensation acted as “qualified independent underwriter” (in such capacity, the “QIU”) within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in connection with the offering of the Securities.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the QIU against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the QIU may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the QIU’s acting (or alleged failing to act) as such “qualified independent underwriter” and will reimburse the QIU for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the QIU in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

 

10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, contribution agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the officers or directors of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, the officers or directors of the Company or any person controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of and payment for the Securities hereunder and (iii) termination of this Agreement.  If for any reason the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein (other than as a result of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii), (iv) (only to the extent there is a material suspension or material limitation of trading of securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq National Market or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange), (v), (vi) or (vii)), the Company agrees to reimburse the several Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for all expenses which it has agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5(h) hereof. The Company also agrees to reimburse the several Underwriters, their directors and officers and any persons controlling any of the Underwriters for any and all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with enforcing their rights hereunder (including, without limitation, their rights under Section 7 and Section 9 hereof).

 

11. Arm’s Length Relationship; No Fiduciary Duty.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Representatives are acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length contractual counterparties to the Company with respect to the Securities (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering contemplated by this Agreement) and not as a financial advisor, agent or fiduciary to the Company or any other person.  Additionally, the Representatives are not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction.  The Company shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Representatives shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives of the Company, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representatives and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

 

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representatives c/o Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010-3629, fax no. 212-325-8278 and confirmation number 212-538-0661, Attention: Transactions Advisory Group, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., 10 Highway 35, P.O. Box 500, Red Bank, New Jersey 07701, fax no. 732-747-6835 and confirmation number 732-747-7800, Attention: General Counsel; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 7 hereof will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Underwriter as set forth in Exhibit C.

Red Bank, New Jersey  07701

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hovnanian”), and to K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hovnanian and a California corporation (“K. Hovnanian”), and certain subsidiaries of Hovnanian (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3, which amends certain previously filed Registration Statements (together, the “Registration Statement”), filed by Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian and the Subsidiary Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to shares of preferred stock of Hovnanian, par value $.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), which may be issued in the form of depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipts (the “Depositary Shares”).  The Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares are hereinafter referred to collectively (together with any additional securities that may be issued by Hovnanian and/or K. Hovnanian pursuant to Rule 462(b) (as prescribed by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act)) as the “Securities”.  The Securities may be issued and sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto,


the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and supplements to the Prospectus and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act for an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $500,000,000.

The Depositary Shares will be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), between Hovnanian and such Depositary as shall be named therein (the “Depositary”).

We have examined the Registration Statement, a form of share certificate, the form of Deposit Agreement and the form of Depositary Shares, which have been filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement.  We have also examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other and further investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or corporate documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of Hovnanian, K. Hovnanian and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  We have also assumed that at the time of execution, issuance and delivery of the Depositary Shares, the Deposit Agreement will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Depositary.

2


We have assumed further that at the time of execution, issuance and delivery of the Depositary Shares, the Deposit Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Hovnanian.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.                                       With respect to the Preferred Stock, assuming (a) the taking by the Board of Directors of Hovnanian or committee thereof (the “Hovnanian Board”) of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance of the Preferred Stock, (b) due filing of the Certificate of Designations and (c) due issuance and delivery of the Preferred Stock, upon payment therefor in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Hovnanian Board, the Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2.                                       With respect to the Depositary Shares, assuming (a) the taking of all necessary corporate action by the Hovnanian Board to approve (1) the issuance and terms of the Depositary Shares and (2) the execution and delivery of the Deposit Agreement in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, (b) the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares has been duly delivered to the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement and (c) the due execution, issuance and delivery of the depositary receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares, against deposit of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Hovnanian Board, the depositary receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares will be validly issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in the Depositary Shares and the Deposit Agreement.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the Federal law of the United States, and the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decision interpreting the foregoing).
