For valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants the Long-Term Incentive Program award opportunity (the “Award”) listed above to the Participant, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Award granted hereunder is made as a standalone award, separate and apart from, and outside of, the 2020 Company Second Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and shall not constitute an Award granted under or pursuant to that Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms, conditions, and definitions set forth in the Plan and the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Program adopted in connection with the Plan (the “LTIP”), which Plan and LTIP, as amended from time to time, shall apply to the Award as though the Award had been granted under the Plan (including but not limited to the adjustment provision contained in the Plan), and the Award shall be subject to such terms, conditions and definitions which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award shall not be counted for purposes of calculating the aggregate number of shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Plan or for purposes of calculating the award limitations under the Plan (including pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan). The Award represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive cash payments, all of which shall represent the value of a number of Shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“Phantom Shares”) on the date(s) specified under the LTIP, subject to the performance and time vesting conditions set forth thereunder. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan or the LTIP, as applicable. A copy of the LTIP is attached hereto as [Exhibit A].

LTIP. “LTIP” means the ​ Long Term Incentive Plan.

Long Term Incentive Award (“LTIP Award”). You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual long-term incentive equity grant program with a targeted grant fair value of $6,000,000. For the performance year 2020, you will receive a pro-rated targeted grant fair value of $3,000,000, which will be approved and granted at the first meeting of the Management Development and Compensation Committee after the Effective Date, and will be delivered 50% in Performance Stock Units (based on a Monte Carlo calculation), 30% in Stock Options (based on a Black Scholes methodology), and 20% in Restricted Stock Units ( based on the 30 day average prior to and including the grant date). All LTIP Awards will be governed by the terms and conditions consistent with awards made to other similarly situated officers of the Company.

The LTIP, your eligibility for participation in the LTIP, and all LTIP awards, including annual awards and the Welcome Aboard Award, shall be subject to the discretion and approval of the Compensation Committee, the terms and conditions of the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and any award agreement issued to you in connection with the grant of an LTIP award.

Annual Option Payments. Commencing January 1, 2016, PEF shall pay an “Annual Option Payment” equal to the product of 30% of 2,000 AF (representing the maximum Annual Volume discussed in Section 3.1 above) multiplied by that year’s Unit Volume Charge (discussed in Section 7.2 below). On or after January 1, 2017, if PEF elects to increase the maximum Annual Volume in accordance with Section 3.2 above, the Annual Option Payment shall be increased for the remainder of the Term of the Agreement such that PEF shall pay an Annual Option Payment equal to the product of 30% of 3,500 AF (representing the maximum increased Annual Volume discussed in Section 3.2 above) multiplied by that year’s Unit Volume Charge (discussed in Section 7.2 below). By way of example:

shall have a fair market value obtained by multiplying $70,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months remaining in the calendar year and the denominator of which is twelve. Such prorated grant shall be made upon the first trading day of the calendar month, within the Company’s open trading window, following the date such individual becomes an Eligible Director, with the number of shares determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date, and rounding this number to the nearest integer multiple of one hundred (100) shares.

The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or other Awards may be granted to any Non-employee Director in any calendar year shall not exceed 10,000. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or SARs may be granted to any Employee who is a Participant in any calendar year shall be 2,000,000 Shares. For any Awards other than Options or SARs and that are denominated in Shares, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to such Awards granted in any calendar year shall be 400,000 Shares for any Employee who is a Participant. For any Awards that are denominated in cash, the maximum aggregate amount of cash that may be paid with respect to all such Awards granted in any calendar year shall be $20,000,000 for any Employee who is a Participant.

A person who is a Non-Employee Director immediately following each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders and who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director following such annual meeting shall be automatically granted on the second market trading day following the date of each such annual meeting a restricted share unit award with a grant date value equal to $160,000 (the "Annual Equity Award"). The Annual Equity Award shall vest on the earlier of the first anniversary date of the grant date or the date of the Company's next subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date.

Annual Incentive/Bonus Award. The Executive will be eligible for an annual bonus or incentive compensation during the Employment Term and the Extended Employment Term, if any, based upon the bonus and performance standards established by the Board of Directors and as determined, with specific regard to the Executive, each year by the Board of Directors.
