BOX 2508 CINCINNATI, OH 45201 Employer Identification Number: Date: February 17, 2000 54-139430 DLN: 17007258004049 NVR INC Person to Contact: 7601 LEWINSVILLE ROAD SUITE 300 DIANE BACON FUTCH ID# 52053 MCLEAN, VA 22102 Contact Telephone Number: (877) 829-5500 Plan Name: NVR INC PROFIT SHARING PLAN Plan Number: 001 Dear Applicant: We have made favorable determination on your plan, identified above, based on the information supplied. Please keep this letter in your permanent records. Continued qualification of the plan under its present form will depend on its effect in operation. (See section 1.401-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations.) We will review the status of the plan in operation periodically. The enclosed document explains the significance of this favorable determination letter, points out some events that may affect the qualified status of your employee retirement plan, and provides information on the reporting requirements for your plan. It also describes some events that automatically nullify it. It is very important that you read the publication. This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal Revenues Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or local statues. This determination is subject to your adoption of the proposed amendments submitted in your letter dated February 11, 2000. The proposed amendments should be adopted on or before the date prescribed by the regulations under Code section 401(b). This determination letter is applicable for the amendment(s) executed on July 21, 1999. This plan has been mandatory disaggregated, permissively aggregated, or restructured to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements.

This plan satisfies the nondiscrimination in amount requirement of section 1.401(a)(4) - 1(b)(2) of the regulations on the basis of a design-based safe harbor described in the regulations. This plan satisfies the nondiscriminatory current availability requirements of section 1.401(a)(4) - 4(b) of the regulations with respect to those benefits, rights and features that are currently available to all employees in the plan's coverage group. For this purpose, the plan's coverage group consists of those employees treated as currently benefitting for purposes of demonstrating that the plan satisfies the minimum coverage requirements of section 410(b) of the Code. This letter considers the changes in the qualifications requirements made by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (GATT), Pub. L. 103-465, and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, Pub. L. 105-34, and the changes in the qualifications requirements made by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-188, that are effective before the first day of the first plan year beginning after December 31, 1998. The information on the enclosed Publication 794 is an integral part of this determination. Please be sure to read and keep it with this letter. The requirement for employee benefits plans to file summary plan descriptions (SPD) with the U.S. Department of Labor was eliminated effective August 5, 1997. For more details, call 1-800-998-7542 for a free copy of the SPD card. We have sent a copy of this letter to your representative as indicated in the power of attorney. If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact the person whose name and telephone number are shown above. Sincerely yours, /s/ Carol D. Gold --------------------------- Carol D.
