This is not a stock certificate or a negotiable instrument.

Option	This Agreement evidences an award of an Option exercisable for that number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and on the cover sheet. This option is not intended to be an incentive option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.
Transfer of Unvested Options	During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option. The Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Option be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become forfeited.
Issuance and Vesting	Your rights under this Option grant and this Agreement shall vest, if at all, in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A provided you continue in Service through the vesting dates set forth on Exhibit A and provided the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) determines that the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied.
	In the event of a termination of your employment resulting from your death or Disability or from your retirement at normal retirement age (age 65) on or after January 1, 2024:
	1.The Option shall remain outstanding until such time as the Compensation Committee shall determine whether the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied; and
	2.If the Compensation Committee determines that the performance criteria have been satisfied, the Option shall become exercisable for a pro rata portion based on the achievement of the performance criteria and the number of full months of the then-current year that have expired prior to the termination of the previously nonexercisable portion of the Option which would have been eligible to be exercised at the end of the year in which such termination occurs. Such prorated portion shall remain exercisable until the later of ninety days following the date of termination of your employment and such Compensation Committee determination.
	You shall not be entitled to pro rata vesting if your employment is terminated for any other reason.

	In the event of a termination of your employment due to your death or Disability or by the Company for any reason other than Cause, in all cases, on or after December 31, 2024 but prior to completion of the Compensation Committee’s determination as to whether the performance criteria have been satisfied, the Option shall remain outstanding until such time as the Compensation Committee shall determine whether the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied. If the Compensation Committee determines that the performance criteria have been satisfied at at least the threshold level, the vested Option shall become exercisable based on the achievement of the performance criteria and shall remain exercisable for ninety days following such Compensation Committee determination.
	Your Option is exercisable only as to its vested portion. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the Option becomes exercisable as to a portion of the Stock subject to the Option after the Compensation Committee determines that the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied on February 15, 2025, no exercise of the Option for such portion will be effective until, at the earliest, February 16, 2025, at which time you would not necessarily have to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate to exercise the Option, subject to the earlier termination of the Option pursuant to this Agreement.
Corporate Transaction	Notwithstanding the performance metrics and vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A, but in addition to the acceleration of vesting events set forth above, upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, the Option will become 100% vested (i) if the Option is not assumed or if new common stock options relating to the stock of a successor entity are not granted with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares subject to the Option and the exercise price, or (ii) if assumed and substituted for, upon your termination by the Company without Cause within the 12 month period following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction.
	If the Option is assumed or if new common stock options relating to the stock of a successor entity are granted, the performance metrics set forth on Exhibit A shall be deemed to be satisfied at the Target level and the Option shall continue to be subject to the time-based vesting criteria set forth on Exhibit A
Evidence of Issuance	The issuance of the shares upon exercise of this Option shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.

Forfeiture of Unvested Options	Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting of your Option, or other treatment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company the unvested portion of the Option in the event you are no longer providing Service for any reason.
	Your Option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.
Expiration of Vested Options After Service Terminates	If your Service terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability or Cause, then the vested portion of your Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th day after your termination date.
	If your Service terminates because of your death or Disability, or if you die during the 90-day period after your termination for any reason (other than Cause), then the vested portion of your Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the date of your death or termination for Disability. During that twelve (12) month period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your Option.
	If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your entire Option and the Option shall immediately expire.
Forfeiture of Rights	If you should take actions in violation or breach of or in conflict with any non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees, customers, or other business partners of the Company or any Affiliate or any confidentiality, non-disclosure, or non-disparagement obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate or otherwise in competition with the Company or any Affiliate, the Company has the right to cause an immediate forfeiture of your rights to the Option awarded under this Agreement and the Option shall immediately expire. Specifically, in consideration of this Award, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

                            (i) Confidential Information. In connection with your employment with the Company, you have had or may have access to confidential, proprietary, and non-public information concerning the business or affairs of the Company or its Affiliates, including but not limited to trade secrets (as defined in the Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1839(3), or Virginia Code § 59.1-336) and other information concerning the Company’s customers, developers, lot positions, subcontractors, employees, pricing, procedures, marketing plans, business plans, operations, business strategies, and methods (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, both during and after termination of your Service (regardless of whether you, or the Company or an Affiliate terminates your Service), you shall not retain, misappropriate, use, or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information for any reason other than as intended within the scope of your Service. In the event that you are required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to give the Company prompt advance written notice thereof and to provide the Company, if requested, with reasonable assistance in obtaining an order to protect the Confidential Information from disclosure. Upon termination of your Service for any reason, or at any other time upon request of the Company, you shall immediately deliver to the Company all documents, forms, blueprints, designs, policies, memoranda, or other data (and copies hereof), in tangible, electronic, or intangible form, relating to the business of the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that (1) you lawfully had in your possession as of the commencement of your Service to the Company or an Affiliate, provided that such information is not subject to a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the Company or an Affiliate, or (2) becomes publicly available otherwise than through disclosure in violation of this or any other applicable Agreement or any statutory prohibition against the misappropriation or distribution of confidential information.

                             (ii) Non-Competition. During your Service and for a period of twelve (12) months after your Service ends (regardless of whether you, or the Company or an Affiliate terminates your Service) (“the Restricted Period”), you shall not anywhere in the Restricted Area (as defined below): (a) own more than 5% of outstanding shares or control any residential homebuilding, mortgage financing, or settlement services business that competes with the Company or an Affiliate in a type of business activity (i.e., residential homebuilding, mortgage financing, or settlement services) over which you had any management responsibility at any time during the twenty-four (24) months prior to termination of your Service; or (b) render services to (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, partner, officer, director, or board member) any person or entity that competes with the Company or an Affiliate in the residential homebuilding business, mortgage financing business, or settlement services business, where such services are competitive with any of the services you provided to the Company or to an Affiliate during the twenty-four (24) months prior to termination of your Service. “Restricted Area” means only those counties and other units of local government in which the Company engaged in residential homebuilding business activities, mortgage financing business activities, or settlement services business activities, as applicable, over which you have had any managerial responsibility at any time during the 24-month period prior to the termination of your Service.

                          (iii) Land Development. If you were employed as a Land Manager, VP of Land, otherwise had any managerial responsibility over the Company’s operations contracting for finished lots, or received, as part of your work duties, Confidential Information relating to land development, at any time during the twenty-four (24) months prior to termination of your Service, you agree that you will not engage in any competitive residential land development activities during the Restricted Period within the Restricted Area.

                          (iv) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to hire any person, who, at any time during the twelve (12)-month period prior to the termination of your Service, was an employee or contractor of the Company.

                           (v) Non-Solicitation of Developers. During the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of competing with the Company or an Affiliate, solicit the services of; or acquire or attempt to acquire real property, goods, or services from, any developer or subcontractor with which the Company or any Affiliate contracted or negotiated for a contract at any time during the twelve (12)-month period prior to the termination of your Service, if, during such twelve (12)-month period, you had knowledge of such contract or you had contact with such developer or subcontractor. You further agree not to encourage, directly or indirectly, any such developer or subcontractor to limit, reduce or terminate such entity’s relationship or business dealings with the Company or any Affiliate.

                          (vi) Non-Solicitation of Customers.During the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, on your behalf or on behalf of another person or entity, solicit any person or entity that was a customer or client, or prospective customer or client, of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the twelve (12)-month period prior to the termination of your Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the customers and prospective customers covered by this Clause (vi) include only those persons and entities either (x) with whom you had communications in your capacity as an employee or contractor of the Company or of an Affiliate at any time in the twelve (12)-month period prior to the termination of your Service, or (y) about whom you possessed Confidential Information at any time during the twelve (12)-month period prior to your termination of Service.

You agree to provide notice to any person or entity with which you may seek or enter into an employment, consulting or other business relationship during the Restricted Period of your obligations under this Agreement prior to entering into such relationship or performing services in conjunction with such relationship. You further agree that the Company may provide notice of your obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity with which you may enter into an employment, consulting or other business relationship during the Restricted Period.

	You acknowledge that the restrictions set forth herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the business and interests of the Company and its Affiliates, and that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages that could or would accrue to the Company and its Affiliates in the event that you fail to honor your obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies they may have, the Company and its Affiliates may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, temporary, preliminary, and/or permanent injunctive relief, or other relief in order to enforce the obligations under this Agreement or prevent a violation of these obligations. You expressly acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Affiliates may pursue all relief to which they are entitled, including without limitation damages, specific performance and injunctive relief. You further acknowledge that each of the restrictive covenants above is independent from the others, and, accordingly, if any is held to be illegal or unenforceable in a judicial proceeding, such provision shall be severed and shall be inoperative, and the others shall remain operative and binding. Moreover, in the event of a breach or violation by you of the obligations in this Agreement, the Restricted Period shall be extended until such breach or violation has been cured.
	In addition, if you have exercised any options during the one-year period prior to any action that violates your obligations of confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation to the Company, you will owe the Company a cash payment (or forfeiture of shares of Stock) in an amount determined as follows: (1) for any shares of Stock that you have sold prior to receiving notice from the Company, the amount will be the proceeds received from the sale(s), less the option price, and (2) for any shares of Stock that you still own, the amount will be the number of shares of Stock owned times the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock on the date you receive notice from the Company, less the option price (provided, that the Company may require you to satisfy your payment obligations hereunder either by forfeiting and returning to the Company any other shares of Stock or making a cash payment or a combination of these methods as determined by the Company in its sole discretion).
Leaves of Absence	For purposes of this Agreement, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by your employer in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by Applicable Laws. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active Service as an employee.
	The Company may determine, in its discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

Payment must be made in immediately available funds.
Retention Rights	This Agreement and the grant evidenced hereby do not give you the right to be retained by the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity. Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, and you, the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

Stockholder Rights	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until Stock has been issued upon exercise of your Option and either a certificate evidencing your Stock has been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s books.

	Your grant shall be subject to the terms of any applicable agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity, as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

Without limiting the foregoing, you will also be subject to the terms of Section 3.3 of the Plan.
Attorney’s Fees and Costs	I agree that if I violate this Agreement, I will be responsible for all attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses incurred by the Company by reason of any action relating to this Agreement, including in securing my compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or obtaining damages for any breach.
Applicable Law	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the state in which you primarily performed services for the Company at the time that this Agreement is executed, not including any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
