OUR COMPANY
Toll Brothers, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in May 1986, began doing business through
predecessor entities in 1967. We design, build, market and arrange financing for single-family

buildings into high-, mid- and low-rise luxury homes. We cater to move-up, empty-nester,
active-adult, age-qualified and second-home buyers in 21 states of the United States. In the five
years ended October 31, 2007, we delivered 35,931 homes from 618 communities, including 7,023 homes
from 385 communities in fiscal 2007. Included in the five-year and fiscal 2007 deliveries are 336
units that were delivered from several communities where we use the percentage of completion
accounting method to recognize revenues and cost of revenues.

RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to certain uncertainties and risks. You should consider carefully and
evaluate all of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or a
supplement to this prospectus, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most
recent annual report on Form 10-K and the subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that
update those risk factors before purchasing any securities offered in connection with this
prospectus. It is possible that our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by
reference into this prospectus contain or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do
not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They contain words such as anticipate,
estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, may, can, could, might,
should and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future
operating or financial performance. The statements may include information relating to anticipated
operating results (including changes in revenues, profitability and operating margins), financial
resources, interest expense, inventory write-downs, changes in accounting treatment, effects of
homebuyer cancellations, growth and expansion, anticipated income or loss to be realized from our
investments in unconsolidated entities, the ability to acquire land, the ability to gain approvals
and to open new communities, the ability to sell homes and properties, the ability to deliver homes
from backlog, the ability to secure materials and subcontractors, the ability to produce the
liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities in the future,
industry trends, and stock market valuations.
Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this prospectus, the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus are not
guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. This can occur as a result of
incorrect assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks
and uncertainties include local, regional and national economic conditions, the demand for homes,
domestic and international political events, uncertainties created by terrorist attacks, the
effects of governmental regulation, the competitive environment in which we operate, fluctuations
in interest rates, changes in home prices and sales activity in the markets where we build homes,
the availability and cost of land for future growth, adverse market conditions that could result in
substantial inventory write-downs, the availability of capital, uncertainties and fluctuations in
capital and securities markets, changes in tax laws and their interpretation, legal proceedings,
the availability of adequate insurance at reasonable cost, the ability of customers to obtain
adequate and affordable financing for the purchase of homes, the ability of home buyers to sell
their existing homes, the ability of the participants in our various joint ventures to honor their
commitments, the availability and cost of labor and building and construction materials, the cost
of oil, gas and other raw materials, construction delays and weather conditions.
The factors mentioned in this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the
documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus will be important in determining our
future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be
anticipated from our forward-looking statements. If one or more of the assumptions underlying our
forward-looking statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements
could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. This
statement is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent
reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus

We reported a loss for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2008 and the

There was no preferred stock outstanding for any of the periods shown above. Accordingly, the
ratio earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was identical to the ratio
of earnings to fixed charges.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
As of September 30, 2008, our authorized capital stock consisted of 200,000,000 shares of
common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per
share; however, subject to the limitations and procedures described below, our stockholders have
authorized increases in the respective numbers of shares of common stock and preferred stock. In
March 2005, our stockholders authorized the filing by the Board of Directors, in its discretion, of
one or more amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation from time to time on or before March 31,
2010 to increase: (a) the authorized common stock by up to 300,000,000 additional shares in any
combination of one or more 10,000,000-share increments, and/or (b) the authorized preferred stock
by a single increment of 14,000,000 additional shares. Prior to the stockholder authorization,
the Board of Directors of Toll Brothers, Inc. (Board of Directors) resolved to not, without the
prior approval of our stockholders, utilize more than 200,000,000 of the 300,000,000 shares of the
proposed increase in authorized common stock for any purpose other than stock splits, stock
dividends or similar stock distributions to stockholders. On June 16, 2005, the Board of Directors
filed an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, in accordance with this stockholder
authorization, which amendment increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from
100,000,000 to 200,000,000. If additional amendments increasing our authorized capital stock to the
maximum limits authorized by the stockholders are filed by March 31, 2010, our authorized common
stock will be increased to 400,000,000 shares and our authorized preferred stock will be increased
to 15,000,000 shares. The procedure was approved by stockholders to permit us to avoid an immediate
increase in the amount of annual Delaware corporate franchise tax that we are required to pay,
while giving the Board of Directors the flexibility to quickly increase the authorized shares of
common or preferred stock without the necessity of further action by the stockholders when
additional authorized shares are needed.
Common Stock
Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of our preferred stock, of which there
were none as of September 30, 2008, the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per
share on all matters that require a vote of the common stockholders. In addition, the holders of
our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as legally may be declared by the Board of
Directors and to receive pro rata our net assets upon liquidation. There are no cumulative voting,
preemptive, conversion or redemption rights applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares
of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
6
Except as otherwise specifically provided by law or as set forth in Anti-Takeover Effects of
our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, our Rights Plan and Delaware LawClassified Board of
Directors and Restrictions On Removal below, all matters coming before a meeting of stockholders
other than election of Directors are determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or
negatively. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
On June 13, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a Rights Agreement which established a
Stockholder Rights Plan. This Stockholder Rights Plan provides for one right to attach to each
share of our common stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, each right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from us a unit consisting of one ten-thousandth of a share of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $100 per unit. Initially the rights
attach to all common stock certificates and no separate rights certificates will be distributed.
The rights will separate from the common stock and a distribution date will occur upon the earlier
of:
|
|
|
10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated persons has
acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock
(the Stock Acquisition Date); or
|
|
|
|
|
10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer that would result in a
person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common
stock.
|
The rights are not exercisable until the distribution date and will expire at the close of
business on July 11, 2017. In the event any non-exempt person or group acquires 15% or more of the
then outstanding shares of our common stock, unless the acquisition is made pursuant to a tender
offer for all outstanding shares at a price determined by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors, excluding any members of the Board of Directors who are also officers of the Company, to
be fair and otherwise in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, each holder
of a right will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock having a value equal to two
times the exercise price of the right; except that the rights held by a non-exempt person or group
become null and void upon that person or group acquiring 15% or more of the then outstanding shares
of our common stock. At any time until 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date, we may redeem
the rights at a price of $.001 per right. The Rights Agreement establishing the Stockholder Rights
Plan was filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007 as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. For
additional information, holders of the common stock of Toll Brothers, Inc. should read the Rights
Agreement, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol TOL.
The registrar and transfer agent for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, LLC.
Preferred Stock
General.
We may issue, from time to time, shares of one or more series of preferred stock.
Summarized below are the general terms and provisions that will apply to any preferred stock that
may be offered, except as otherwise described by the prospectus supplement. When we offer to sell a
particular series of preferred stock, a prospectus supplement will update our description of our
preferred stock, as applicable, to reflect the issuance of any then issued and outstanding series
and describe the specific terms of the series of preferred stock being offered. If any of the
general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to the particular series of
preferred stock, the prospectus supplement will so indicate and will describe any alternative
provisions that are applicable. Each series of preferred stock will be issued under a certificate
of designations relating to that series, and will also be subject to our Second Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time (Certificate of Incorporation).
The following summary of various provisions of the preferred stock is not complete. You should
read our Certificate of Incorporation and each certificate of designations relating to a specific
series of preferred stock for additional information. Each certificate of designations relating to
a specific series of preferred stock will be filed as an amendment to the registration statement or
as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part at the time of issuance of the particular series of preferred stock.
The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock, in one or more
series, and to fix for each series voting powers and the preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, that are
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Board of Directors is authorized to
determine the following terms for each series of preferred stock, which will be described in the
prospectus supplement:
7
|
|
|
the number of shares and their designation and title;
|
|
|
|
|
the dividend rate or the method of calculating the dividend rate, if applicable;
|
|
|
|
|
the priority as to payment of dividends;
|
|
|
|
|
the dividend periods or the method of calculating the dividend periods, if applicable;
|
|
|
|
|
the voting rights, if any;
|
|
|
|
|
the liquidation preference and the priority as to payment of the liquidation preference
upon our liquidation or winding-up;
|
|
|
|
|
whether and on what terms the shares will be subject to redemption or repurchase at our
option;
|
|
|
|
|
whether and on what terms the shares will be convertible into or exchangeable for other
debt or equity securities;
|
|
|
|
|
whether the shares will be listed on a securities exchange; and
|
|
|
|
|
the other rights and privileges and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions
relating to the shares.
|
Dividends.
Holders of a series of preferred stock will be entitled to the dividend rights, if
any, described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of that series. The
prospectus supplement will identify, as applicable, the dividend rates and the record and payment
dates, as well as any other terms of any dividend rights applicable to the series.
Unless otherwise described in the prospectus supplement, each series of preferred stock to
which dividend rights are given will rank junior with respect to dividends to any series of
preferred stock that may be issued in the future that is expressly senior with respect to dividends
to the earlier series of the preferred stock. If at any time we fail to pay accrued dividends on
any senior series of preferred stock at the time dividends are payable on a junior series of
preferred stock, we may not pay any dividend on the junior series of preferred stock or redeem or
otherwise repurchase shares of the junior series of preferred stock until the accumulated but
unpaid dividends on the senior series have been paid or set aside for payment in full by us.
Convertibility
. No series of preferred stock will be convertible or exchangeable for other
securities or property, except, in the case of any series, to the extent conversion or exchange
rights of that series are otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement.
Redemption and Sinking Fund
. We will not have the right or obligation to redeem or pay into a
sinking fund for the benefit of any series of preferred stock, except, in the case of any series,
to the extent such rights or obligations are otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement.
Liquidation Rights
. Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, in the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled
to receive the liquidation preference per share specified in the prospectus supplement for that
particular series of preferred stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. We will pay these
amounts to the holders of each series of the preferred stock and all amounts owing on any preferred
stock ranking equally with that series of preferred stock as to distributions. These payments will
be made out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders before any distribution is
made to holders of common stock or any other shares of our preferred stock ranking junior to the
series of preferred stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.
In the event that there are insufficient funds to pay in full the amounts payable to all
equally-ranked classes of our preferred stock, we will allocate the remaining assets equally among
all series of equally-ranked preferred stock in proportion to the full respective preferential
amounts to which they are entitled. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement for a
series of preferred stock, after we pay the full amount of the liquidation distribution to which
they are entitled, the holders of shares of a series of preferred stock will not be entitled to
participate in any further distribution of our assets. Our consideration or merger with another
corporation or sale of securities will not be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
for these purposes.
8
Voting Rights
. Holders of a series of preferred stock will not have any voting rights other
than any such rights that are described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of
that series and any such rights as are otherwise from time to time required by law.
Miscellaneous.
When the preferred stock is issued, it will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Holders of preferred stock will have no preemptive rights. If we redeem or otherwise reacquire any
shares of preferred stock, we will restore the shares to the status of authorized and unissued
shares of preferred stock. These shares will not be a part of any particular series of preferred
stock and we may reissue the shares. There are no restrictions on repurchase or redemption of the
preferred stock on account of any arrearage on sinking fund installments, except as may be
described in the prospectus supplement. Payment of dividends on any series of preferred stock may
be restricted by loan agreements, indentures or other agreements entered into by us. The prospectus
supplement will describe any material contractual restrictions on dividend payments. The prospectus
supplement will also describe any material United States federal income tax considerations
applicable to the preferred stock.
No Other Rights.
The shares of a series of preferred stock will not have any preferences,
voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights except for those
described above or in the prospectus supplement, our Certificate of Incorporation or the applicable
certificate of designations, or as otherwise required by law.
Transfer Agent and Registrar.
The prospectus supplement for each series of preferred stock
will identify the transfer agent and registrar.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, our Rights Plan and Delaware
Law
Blank Check Preferred Stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for 1,000,000
authorized shares of preferred stock, which may be increased by the Board of Directors to
15,000,000. See Description of Capital Stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock may enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an
attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors
were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of the Company, the Board
of Directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one
or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the
proposed acquiror or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Certificate of
Incorporation grants our Board of Directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of
authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could
decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of
common stock and may make it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of Directors and
may discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of us.
Classified Board of Directors and Restrictions On Removal.
Under our Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered
terms of three years each. Each class is to be as nearly equal in number as possible, with one
class being elected each year. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that:
|
|
|
directors may be removed from office only for cause and only with the affirmative vote
of 66 2/3% of the voting power of the voting stock;
|
|
|
|
|
any vacancy on the Board of Directors or any newly created directorship will be filled
by the remaining directors then in office, though they may constitute less than a quorum;
and
|
|
|
|
|
advance notice of stockholder nominations for the elections of directors must be given
in the manner provided by our bylaws.
|
The required 66 2/3% stockholder vote necessary to alter, amend or repeal these provisions of
our Certificate of Incorporation and all other provisions of our bylaws adopted by the Board of
Directors, or to adopt any provisions relating to the classification of the Board of Directors and
the other matters described above may make it more difficult to change the composition of our Board
of Directors and may discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain
control of us.
9
Provisions of Rights Plan.
As discussed under Description of Capital StockCommon Stock,
we have adopted a Rights Agreement that provides stockholders with rights to purchase shares of our
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock under certain circumstances involving a potential
change in control. The rights have certain anti-takeover effects, and will cause substantial
dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company in certain circumstances.
Accordingly, the existence of the rights may deter certain acquirors from making takeover proposals
or tender offers. The rights, however, are not intended to prevent a takeover, but rather are
designed to enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to negotiate with a potential acquiror on
behalf of all of the stockholders.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute.
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from
engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years
following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless (a) prior to such
date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the
transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (b) upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number
of shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder)
those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) by employee stock
plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether
shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer or (c) at or
subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and
authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the
affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the
interested stockholder. The application of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
may discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of us.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines the term business combination to
include: (a) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation or any of its direct or indirect
majority-owned subsidiaries and the interested stockholder or another entity if the merger or
consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder; (b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage,
pledge or transfer of 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all of the assets of the
corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding
stock of the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries involving the
interested stockholder; (c) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the
issuance or transfer by the corporation or by any of its direct or indirect majority-owned
subsidiaries of any stock of the corporation or that subsidiary to the interested stockholder; (d)
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation or any of its direct or
indirect majority-owned subsidiaries that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of
the stock of any class or series of the corporation or that subsidiary owned by the interested
stockholder; or (e) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or
any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries. In general, Section 203 defines an
interested stockholder as any entity or person owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock
of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such
entity or person.

Common stock warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new common stock warrant

the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus
supplement. A holder of a common stock warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of the
common stock which may be purchased by the exercise of the common stock warrant before the common
stock is purchased by the exercise of the common stock warrant. Accordingly, before a common stock
warrant is exercised, the holder will not be entitled to receive any dividend payments or exercise
any voting or other rights associated with the shares of common stock which may be purchased when
the common stock warrant is exercised.
Exercise of Common Stock Warrants
. Each common stock warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase for cash the number of shares of our common stock at the exercise price that is described
or explained in the prospectus supplement. Common stock warrants may be exercised at any time from
the time they become exercisable, as described in the prospectus supplement, up to the time on the

void.

When we receive payment and the properly completed and duly executed common stock warrant
certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the
prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward a certificate representing the
number of shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of the common stock warrants. If less than
all of the common stock warrants represented by the common stock warrant certificate are exercised,
we will issue a new common stock warrant certificate for the amount of common stock warrants that
remain exercisable.

supplement. A holder of a preferred stock warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of
the preferred stock which may be purchased by the exercise of the preferred stock warrant before
the preferred stock is purchased by the exercise of the preferred stock warrant. Accordingly,
before a
12
preferred stock warrant is exercised, the holder will not be entitled to receive any dividend
payments or exercise any voting or other rights associated with the preferred stock which may be
purchased when the preferred stock warrant is exercised.
Exercise of Preferred Stock Warrants

receive any payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the debt securities
which may be purchased by the exercise of that debt warrant.

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES
Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. and Toll Finance Corp.
may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series. Any series of debt securities
offered by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance
Corp. will be offered together with the guarantees of Toll Brothers,
Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that
guarantee the debt securities which, unless otherwise
provided in the prospectus supplement, will be full and unconditional.
One or more series of the debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll
Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. may be issued under a single indenture. Alternatively,
any series of debt securities may be issued under a separate indenture. The terms applicable to
each series of debt securities will be stated in the indenture and may be modified by the
resolution(s) authorizing that series of debt securities adopted by the board of directors, or an
officer or committee of officers authorized by the board of directors, of both the issuer of the
debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that
guarantee the debt securities under the applicable indenture. We refer in this prospectus
to the resolution(s) authorizing a series of debt securities as an authorizing resolution. Each
indenture under which any debt securities are issued, including the applicable authorizing
resolution(s), is referred to in this prospectus as an indenture, and collectively with any other
indentures, as the indentures. Each indenture will be entered into among Toll Corp., First
Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., as the obligor, Toll
Brothers, Inc. and/or any of its directly or indirectly owned
subsidiaries that are guarantors of the debt securities, as the issuer(s) of the related guarantees, and the institution named in the
prospectus supplement, as trustee.
The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities
we may offer by this prospectus. The name of the issuer and the particular terms of any series of
debt securities we offer, including the extent to which the general terms and provisions may apply
to that series of debt securities, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to those
debt securities. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement,
the following description of indenture terms is applicable to, and each reference to the
indenture is a reference to, each indenture that Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll
Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. may enter into with respect to any series of debt
securities we may offer by this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires.
The terms of any series of the debt securities include those stated in the applicable
indenture. Holders of each series of the debt securities are referred to the indenture for that
series, including the applicable authorizing resolution, for a statement of the terms. The
respective forms of indentures for the debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers
Finance Corp. and Toll Finance Corp. are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part. Each indenture may be amended or modified for any series of debt
securities by an authorizing resolution which will be described in the prospectus supplement, and
the applicable authorizing resolution relating to any series of debt securities offered pursuant to
this prospectus will be filed as an exhibit to a report incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. The following summary of certain provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is
not complete. You should read all of the provisions of the indenture, including the definitions
contained in the indenture which are not otherwise defined in this prospectus, and the prospectus
supplement. Wherever we refer to particular provisions or defined terms of the indenture, these
provisions or defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus by reference.
14
General
The
debt securities, when issued, will be obligations that constitute senior secured debt
or senior unsecured debt of Toll Corp., First
Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., as the case may be.
Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly
owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities will guarantee the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on
the debt securities when due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for
redemption or otherwise. This guarantee will be full and unconditional unless otherwise provided in
the prospectus supplement. See Guarantee of Debt Securities. The total principal amount of debt
securities which may be issued under the indenture will not be limited. Debt securities may be
issued under the indenture from time to time in one or more series. Unless the prospectus
supplement relating to the original offering of a particular series of debt securities indicates
otherwise, the issuer of that series of debt securities will have the ability to reopen the
previous issue of that series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that
series pursuant to an authorizing resolution, an officers certificate or an indenture supplement.
Because neither Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. nor Toll
Finance Corp. has any independent operations or generates any operating revenues, the funds
required to pay the principal, the premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities will come
from Toll Brothers, Inc. and its other subsidiaries. Except as otherwise stated in the prospectus
supplement, there is no legal or contractual restriction on the ability of Toll Brothers, Inc. or
the other subsidiaries of Toll Brothers, Inc. to provide these funds.
If the debt securities of any series issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp.,
Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. will be subordinated to any other indebtedness of
that issuer, the indebtedness of that issuer to which that series will be subordinated will be
referred to in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement as senior
indebtedness of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll
Finance Corp., as the case may be. The applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement
will define that senior indebtedness and describe the terms of the subordination. Unless otherwise
stated in the prospectus supplement, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any
series of debt securities issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers
Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. which is subordinated by its terms to other indebtedness of
that issuer will be subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent described in
the indenture under which that series is issued, to the prior payment in full of all senior
indebtedness of the issuer, as defined in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus
supplement, whether the senior indebtedness is outstanding on the date of the indenture or is
created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed after the date of the indenture.
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are offered by this
prospectus will name the issuer and describe the specific terms of that series of debt securities.
The prospectus supplement will describe, among other things, the following terms, to the extent
they are applicable to that series of debt securities:
|
|
|
their title and, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof, the denominations in which they will be issuable;
|
|
|
|
|
their price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the respective aggregate principal
amount of the debt securities) at which they will be issued;
|
|
|
|
|
their total principal amount and, if applicable, the terms on which the principal amount
of the series may be increased by a subsequent offering of additional debt securities of
the same series;
|
|
|
|
|
the interest rate (which may be fixed or variable and which may be zero in the case of
certain debt securities issued at an issue price representing a discount from the principal
amount payable at maturity), the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue and
the circumstances, if any, in which the issuer may defer interest payments;
|
|
|
|
|
any special provisions for the payment of any additional amounts with respect to the
debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
any provisions relating to the seniority or subordination of all or any portion of the
indebtedness evidenced by the securities to other indebtedness of the issuer;
|
15
|
|
|
the date or dates on which principal and premium, if any, are payable or the method of
determining those dates;
|
|
|
|
|
the dates and times at which interest, if any, will be payable, the record date for any
interest payment and the person to whom interest will be payable if other than the person
in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the record date
for the interest payment;
|
|
|
|
|
the place or places where principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be
payable;
|
|
|
|
|
the terms applicable to any original issue discount (as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related regulations), including the rate or rates
at which the original issue discount will accrue, and any special federal income tax and
other considerations;
|
|
|
|
|

Guarantee of Debt Securities
Each Guarantor (as that term is defined in the indenture) will guarantee, fully and
unconditionally unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, the payment of the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities as they become due, whether at
maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise. The terms of any guarantees of any debt securities will be
described in an applicable prospectus supplement.
16
The assets of Toll Brothers, Inc. consist principally of the stock of its subsidiaries.
Therefore, the rights of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the rights of its creditors, including the holders
of debt securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Toll Brothers, Inc., to participate in
the assets of any subsidiary other than the issuer of those debt securities upon liquidation,
recapitalization or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiarys creditors
except to the extent that claims of Toll Brothers, Inc. itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may
be recognized. This includes the prior claims of the banks that have provided and are providing to
First Huntingdon Finance Corp. a revolving credit facility and a term loan under agreements
pursuant to which Toll Brothers, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, including Toll Corp., Toll
Brothers Finance Corp. and Toll Finance Corp., have guaranteed or will guarantee the obligations
owing to the banks under the revolving credit facility and the term loan.
Conversion of Debt Securities
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be
convertible into our common stock or into any other securities. The particular terms and conditions
of the conversion rights of any series of convertible debt securities other than those described
below will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, and subject, if applicable, to prior
redemption at the option of the issuer of the debt securities, the holders of any series of
convertible debt securities will be entitled to convert the principal amount or a portion of the
principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000 at any time before the date specified in
the prospectus supplement for the series of debt securities into shares of our common stock at the
conversion price stated in the prospectus supplement, subject to adjustment as described below.
In the case of any debt security or portion of debt security called for redemption, conversion
rights will expire at the close of business on the second business day preceding the redemption
date.
We will not be required to issue fractional shares of common stock upon conversion of the debt
securities of a convertible series. Instead, we will pay a cash adjustment for any fractional
interest in a share of its common stock.
Convertible debt securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of
business on a Record Date, as defined in the applicable indenture, or the next preceding
Business Day, as defined in the applicable indenture, if the Record Date is not a Business Day,
preceding any Interest Payment Date, as defined in the applicable indenture, to the opening of
business on that Interest Payment Date, other than convertible debt securities or portions of
convertible debt securities called for redemption during the period, will be accompanied by payment
in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to us of an amount equal to the interest payable on the
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the convertible debt securities then being
converted. Except as described in the preceding sentence, no payment or adjustment will be made on
conversion of convertible debt securities on account of interest
17
accrued on the debt securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the common stock
delivered on conversion. If an issuer of convertible debt securities defaults on the payment of
interest for which payment is made upon the surrender of those convertible debt securities for
conversion, the amount so paid will be returned to the party who made the payment.
The conversion price of the debt securities of a convertible series will be subject to
adjustment in certain events, including:
|
|
|
the issuance of our common stock as a dividend or distribution on our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
the subdivision, combination or reclassification of our outstanding common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
the issuance of rights or warrants, expiring within 45 days after the record date for
issuance, to the holders of our common stock generally entitling them to acquire shares of
our common stock at less than the common stocks then Current Market Price as defined in
the indenture;
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution to holders of our common stock, generally, of evidences of indebtedness
or our assets, excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings and dividends or
distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is otherwise made; or
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution to the holders of our common stock, generally, of rights or warrants to
subscribe for our securities, other than those for which adjustment is otherwise made.
|
There will be no upward adjustment in the conversion price except in the event of a reverse
stock split. We are not required to make any adjustment in the conversion price of less than 1%,
but the adjustment will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any
subsequent adjustment.
A conversion price adjustment or the failure to make a conversion price adjustment may, under
various circumstances, be deemed to be a distribution that could be taxable as a dividend under the
Internal Revenue Code to holders of debt securities or to holders of common stock.
There will be no adjustments to the conversion price of the debt securities of any convertible
series as discussed above in the following situations:
|
|
|
any consolidation or merger to which we are a party other than a merger or consolidation
in which we are the continuing corporation;
|
|
|
|
|
any sale or conveyance to another corporation of our property as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety; or
|
|
|
|
|
any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation, including any exchange
effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into us.
|
However, the holder of each convertible debt security outstanding at that time will have the right
to convert the debt security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which
the holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after the transaction if
the debt security was converted immediately before the effective date of the transaction.
Form, Exchange, Registration, Conversion, Transfer and Payment
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement:
|
|
|
each series of debt securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons;
|
|
|
|
|
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each series of the debt
securities will be payable at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained
for this purpose; and
|
18
|
|
|
the exchange, conversion and transfer of each series of debt securities may be
registered at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained for this purpose
and at any other office or agency maintained for this purpose.
|
Subject to various exceptions described in the indenture, the issuer of each series of debt
securities will be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for the registration of transfer or exchange
of the debt securities of that series, including an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge imposed or expenses incurred in connection with the transfer or exchange.
All payments made by the issuer of a series of debt securities to the trustee and paying agent
for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of that series
which remain unclaimed for two years after the principal, premium, if any, or interest has become
due and payable may be repaid to the issuer. Afterwards, the holder of the debt security may look
only to the issuer or, if applicable, Toll Brothers, Inc., and any of
its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt
securities for payment.
Registered Global Securities
The registered debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of
one or more registered global debt securities. A registered global security is a security,
typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers
of the security. Any registered global debt securities will be deposited with and registered in the
name of a depositary or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement. In this case, one or
more registered global securities will be issued, each in a denomination equal to the portion of
the total principal amount of outstanding registered debt securities of the series to be
represented by the registered global security.
Unless and until a registered global security is exchanged in whole or in part for debt
securities in definitive registered form, it may not be transferred except as a whole:
|
|
|
by the depositary for the registered global security to a nominee for the depositary;
|
|
|
|
|
by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or to another nominee of the
depositary; or
|
|
|
|
|
by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or a nominee of a successor
depositary.
|
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the
specific terms of the depositary arrangement involving any portion of a series of debt securities
to be represented by a registered global security. We anticipate that the following provisions will
apply to all depositary arrangements for debt securities:
|
|
|
ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to
persons that have accounts with the depositary for the registered global security (each a
participant and, collectively, the participants) or persons holding interests through
the participants;
|
|
|
|
|
after the issuer of a series of debt securities issues the registered global security
for the series, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer
system, the participants accounts with the respective principal amounts of the debt
securities of that series represented by the registered global security beneficially owned
by the participants;
|
|
|
|
|
the underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the distribution of the debt
securities will designate the accounts to be credited;
|
|
|
|
|
only a participant or a person that may hold an interest through a participant may be
the beneficial owner of a registered global security; and
|
|
|
|
|
ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security will be shown on,
and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records
maintained by the depositary for the registered
|
19
|
|
|
global security for interests of the participants, and on the records of the participants
for interests of persons holding through the participants.
|
The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical
delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons to
own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.
So long as the depositary for a registered global security, or its nominee, is the registered
owner of the registered global security, the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be
considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the registered global
security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as stated below, owners of beneficial
interests in a registered global security:
|
|
|
will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by a registered global
security registered in their names;
|
|
|
|
|
will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in
definitive form; and
|
|
|
|
|
will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the indenture.
|
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must
rely on the procedures of the depositary for the registered global security and, if the person is
not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its
interests, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture applicable to the registered
global security.
We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders, or
if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any
action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the
registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial
interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning
through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of
beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a
registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to
the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global
security. None of the issuer of a series of debt securities, Toll
Brothers, Inc., any of Toll Brothers, Inc.s directly or
indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities, the trustee under
the indenture nor any agent of any of them will be responsible or liable for any aspect of the
records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the
registered global security for the series or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to the beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global
security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the
registered global security, will immediately credit participants accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the registered
global security as shown on the depositarys records. We also expect that payments by participants
to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through the participants
will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with
the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in street name,
and will be the responsibility of the participants.
If the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global security is at
any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, we will appoint an eligible successor depositary. If we fail to appoint an
eligible successor depositary within 90 days, the debt securities will be issued in definitive form
in exchange for the registered global security. In addition, we may at any time and in its sole
discretion determine not to have any debt securities of a series represented by one or more
registered global securities. In that event, debt securities of that series will be issued in
definitive form in exchange for each registered global security representing the debt securities.
Any debt securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be
registered in such name or names as the depositary instructs the
20
trustee. We expect that the instructions will be based upon directions received by the
depositary from the participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the
registered global security.
Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, each of the following events will be
an Event of Default with respect to each series of debt securities issued under the indenture:
|
|
|
A Guarantor (as defined in the indenture) or the issuer of that series of debt
securities fails to pay interest due on any debt securities of that series for 30 days;
|
|
|
|
|
A Guarantor or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to pay the principal
of any debt securities of that series when due;
|
|
|
|
|
A Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (as defined in the indenture) or the
issuer of that series of debt securities fails to perform any other agreements contained in
the debt securities of that series or in the guarantee relating to that series of debt
securities or contained in the indenture for that series of debt securities and applicable
to that series for a period of 60 days after the issuers receipt of notice of the default
from the trustee under the indenture or from the holders of at least 25% in principal of
the debt securities of that series;
|
|
|
|
|
default in the payment of indebtedness of the issuer of that series of debt securities,
Toll Brothers, Inc. or any Subsidiary (as defined in the indenture) of Toll Brothers,
Inc., including Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or
Toll Finance Corp., under the terms of the instrument evidencing or securing that
indebtedness which permits the holder of that indebtedness to:
|
|
|
|
accelerate the payment of an aggregate of more than $10,000,000 in principal
amount of the indebtedness, after the lapse of applicable grace periods; or
|
|
|
|
|
in the case of defaults other than payment defaults, accelerate the
indebtedness and the acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days
after the acceleration,
|
provided that, subject to certain limitations described in the indenture, the term
indebtedness does not include for this purpose an acceleration of or default on certain
Non-Recourse Indebtedness, as that term is defined in the indenture and described below;
|
|
|
an acceleration of, or a significant modification of the
terms of any outstanding debt securities identified in the indenture
(each of these
series of notes being referred to below as an Outstanding Series), occurs, provided that
on the date of the occurrence, the outstanding principal amount of at least one Outstanding
Series to which the occurrence relates exceeds $5,000,000;
|
|
|
|
|
any one of various events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization specified in the
indenture occurs with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc., a Significant Subsidiary, or the
issuer of that series of debt securities; or
|
|
|
|
|
the guarantee of a Guarantor relating to that series of debt securities ceases to be in
full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with its terms.
|
Non-Recourse Indebtedness, as defined in the indenture, means indebtedness or other
obligations secured by a lien on property to the extent that the liability for the indebtedness or
other obligations is limited to the security of the property without liability on the part of Toll
Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary (other than the subsidiary which holds title to the property) for
any deficiency.
The trustee is required to give notice to the holders of any series of debt securities within
90 days of a default with respect to that series of debt securities under the indenture. However,
the trustee may withhold notice to the
21
holders of any series of debt securities, except in the case of a default in the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to that series, if the trustee
considers the withholding to be in the interest of the holders.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing for a series of debt securities, other than an
Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with
respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt securities, either the trustee
or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the outstanding debt securities of
that series may, by giving an acceleration notice to the issuer of that series of debt securities,
Toll Brothers, Inc., or the Trustee, declare the unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest on all of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately.
If an Event of Default occurs with respect to a series of debt securities as a result of
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or
the issuer of that series of debt securities, then the unpaid principal amount of all of the debt
securities of that series outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest will automatically become
due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act by the trustee or any holder of
debt securities of that series.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series
has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind the
acceleration, provided that, among other things, all Events of Default with respect to the
particular series, other than payment defaults caused by the acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in the indenture.
The holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of a
particular series may generally waive an existing default with respect to that series and its
consequences in accordance with terms and conditions provided in the indenture. However, these
holders may not waive a default in the payment of the principal, any premium or any interest on the
debt securities.
Toll Brothers, Inc. and any issuer of debt securities offered by this prospectus will be
required to file annually with the trustee under the indenture a certificate, signed by an officer
of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the issuer, stating whether or not the officer knows of any default
under the terms of the indenture and providing a description of any default of which the officer
has knowledge.
Redemption
The prospectus supplement relating to a series of redeemable debt securities will describe the
rights or obligations of the issuer to redeem those debt securities and the procedure for
redemption.
Additional Provisions
Subject to the duty of the trustee to act with the required standard of care during a default,
the indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to perform any duty or to
exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture, unless the trustee receives indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to these provisions for the
indemnification of the trustee and various other conditions, the holders of a majority in total
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that
series.
A holder of debt securities of a series will not have the right to pursue any remedy with
respect to the indenture or the debt securities of that series, unless:
|
|
|
the holder gives to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
|
|
|
|
|
the holders of not less than 25% in total principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of that series make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;
|
|
|
|
|
the holder offers the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability
or expense;
|
22
|
|
|
the trustee fails to comply with the holders request within 60 days after receipt of
the written request and offer of indemnity; and
|
|
|
|
|
the trustee, during the same 60-day period, has not received from the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction
inconsistent with the aforementioned written request of holders.
|
However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on that debt security on or after the respective due dates expressed in
that debt security and to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment.
Covenants
The prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of any series will describe any
special covenants applicable to the issuer of the series or Toll Brothers, Inc. with respect to
that series.
Merger or Consolidation
Neither Toll Brothers, Inc., nor any Guarantor, nor the issuer of a series of debt securities
offered by this prospectus may consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all
of its assets to, any other person, unless:
|
|
|
the other person is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United
States or a state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental
indenture all the obligations of Toll Brothers, Inc., any Guarantor, or the issuer, as the
case may be, under the indenture and either the guarantees or the debt securities, as the
case may be; and
|
|
|
|
|
immediately after giving effect to the transaction no Default or Event of Default,
as these terms are defined in the indenture, has occurred and is continuing.
|
Afterwards, all of the obligations of the predecessor corporation will terminate.
Modification of an Indenture
The
respective obligations of Toll Brothers, Inc., any of its directly or
indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities, and the issuer of debt securities of any
series offered by this prospectus and the rights of the holders of those debt securities under the
indenture generally may be modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in
outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of all series under the indenture affected by
the modification. However, without the consent of each affected holder of debt securities, no
amendment, supplement or waiver may, among other things:
|
|
|
reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver;
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the principal amount of, or premium on, the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
change the maturity of any debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
change the redemption provisions;
|
|
|
|
|
waive a default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any
series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
modify the subordination or guarantee provisions in a manner adverse to holders of any
series of debt securities;
|
23
|
|
|
make the medium of payment other than that stated in the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
impair the right to bring suit for the enforcement of any of these payments; and
|
|
|
|
|
change the provisions regarding modifications to the indenture or waiver of Defaults or
Events of Default that will be effective against any holders of any series of debt
securities.
|
Governing Law
The indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees will be governed by the laws of the
State of New York.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement,
the indenture will be discharged:
|
|
|
upon payment of all the series of debt securities issued under the indenture; or
|
|
|
|
|
upon deposit with the trustee, within one year of the date of maturity or redemption of
all of the series of debt securities issued under the indenture, of funds sufficient for
(a) the payment of principal of and interest on the securities to maturity or (b)
redemption of the securities.
|
Reports to Holders of Debt Securities
As long as the securities issued under the indenture are outstanding, we will file with the
SEC our annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that we would be required to
file with the SEC in accordance with Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, on or prior to the
dates we would be required to file such documents and regardless of whether or not we are subject
to Section 13(a) or 15(d). If our obligation to file these reports or information with the SEC is
not then permitted by the SEC, or if such filings are not generally available on the Internet free
of charge, we shall mail to the holders of such securities, at no cost to such holders, and file
with the Trustee, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports
required to be filed with the SEC by companies subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d). We will also
supply copies of such reports, promptly upon written request, to any prospective holder at our
cost.
As long as the securities issued under the indenture are outstanding and constitute
restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, we will furnish to the holders of
such securities and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, a
statement of the nature of our business and the products and services we offer; and our most recent
balance sheet and profit and loss and retained earnings statements, and similar financial

DESCRIPTION OF SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES
Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. and Toll Finance Corp.
may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series. Any series of debt securities
offered by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance
Corp. will be offered together with the unconditional guarantees of Toll Brothers, Inc.
One or more series of the debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll
Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. may be issued under a single indenture.
Alternatively, any series of debt securities may be issued under a separate indenture. The terms
applicable to each series of debt securities will be stated in the indenture and may be modified by
the resolution(s) authorizing that series of debt securities adopted by the board of directors, or
an officer or committee of officers authorized by the board of directors, of both the issuer of the
debt securities and Toll Brothers, Inc. under the applicable indenture. We refer in this prospectus
to the resolution(s) authorizing a series of debt securities as an authorizing resolution. Each
indenture under which any debt securities are issued, including the applicable authorizing
resolution(s), is referred to in this prospectus as an indenture, and collectively with any other
indentures, as the indentures. Each indenture will be entered into among Toll Corp., First
Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., as the obligor, Toll
Brothers, Inc., as the issuer of the related guarantees, and the institution named in the
prospectus supplement, as trustee.
The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities
we may offer by this prospectus. The name of the issuer and the particular terms of any series of
debt securities we offer, including the extent to which the general terms and provisions may apply
to that series of debt securities, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to those
debt securities. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement,
the following description of indenture terms is applicable to, and each reference to the
indenture is a reference to, each indenture that Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll
Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. may enter into with respect to any series of debt
securities we may offer by this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires.
The terms of any series of the debt securities include those stated in the applicable
indenture. Holders of each series of the debt securities are referred to the indenture for that
series, including the applicable authorizing resolution, for a statement of the terms. The
respective forms of the indenture for the debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance
Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. and Toll Finance Corp. are filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each indenture may be amended or modified for any
series of debt securities by an authorizing resolution which will be described in the prospectus
supplement, and the applicable authorizing resolution relating to any series of debt securities
offered pursuant to this prospectus will be filed as an exhibit to a report incorporated by
reference in this prospectus. The following summary of certain provisions of the debt securities
and the indenture is not complete. You should read all of the provisions of the indenture,
including the definitions contained in the indenture which are not otherwise defined in this
prospectus, and the prospectus supplement. Wherever we refer to particular provisions or defined
terms of the indenture, these provisions or defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus by
reference.
General
The debt securities, when issued, will be obligations that constitute either senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt of Toll Corp., First
Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., as the case may be.
Toll Brothers, Inc. will unconditionally guarantee the payment of the principal, premium, if any,
and interest on the debt securities when due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration,
call for redemption or otherwise. See Guarantee of Debt Securities. The total principal amount of
debt securities which may be issued under the indenture will not be limited. Debt securities may be
issued under the indenture from time to time in one or more series. Unless the prospectus
supplement relating to the original offering of a particular series of debt securities indicates
otherwise, the issuer of that series of debt securities will have the ability to reopen the
previous issue of that series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that
series pursuant to an authorizing resolution, an officers certificate or an indenture supplement.
Because neither Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. nor Toll
Finance Corp. has any independent operations or generates any operating revenues, the funds
required to pay the principal, the premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities will come
from Toll Brothers, Inc. and its other subsidiaries. Except as otherwise stated in the
25
prospectus supplement, there is no legal or contractual restriction on the ability of Toll
Brothers, Inc. or the other subsidiaries of Toll Brothers, Inc. to provide these funds.
If the debt securities of any series issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp.,
Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. will be subordinated to any other indebtedness
of that issuer, the indebtedness of that issuer to which that series will be subordinated will be
referred to in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement as senior
indebtedness of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll
Finance Corp., as the case may be. The applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement
will define that senior indebtedness and describe the terms of the subordination. Unless otherwise
stated in the prospectus supplement, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any
series of debt securities issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers
Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp. which is subordinated by its terms to other indebtedness of
that issuer will be subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent described in
the indenture under which that series is issued, to the prior payment in full of all senior
indebtedness of the issuer, as defined in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus
supplement, whether the senior indebtedness is outstanding on the date of the indenture or is
created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed after the date of the indenture.
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are offered by this
prospectus will name the issuer and describe the specific terms of that series of debt securities.

Guarantee of Debt Securities
Toll Brothers, Inc. will guarantee, fully and unconditionally unless otherwise provided in the
prospectus supplement, the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt
securities as they become due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for
redemption or otherwise. The terms of any guarantees of any debt
securities will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement.
The assets of Toll Brothers, Inc. consist principally of the stock of its subsidiaries.
Therefore, the rights of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the rights of its creditors, including the holders
of debt securities unconditionally guaranteed by Toll Brothers, Inc., to participate in the assets
of any subsidiary other than the issuer of those debt securities upon liquidation, recapitalization
or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiarys creditors except to the
extent that claims of Toll Brothers, Inc. itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be
recognized. This includes the prior
27
claims of the banks that have provided and are providing First Huntingdon Finance Corp. a
revolving credit facility under an agreement pursuant to which Toll Brothers, Inc. and its other
subsidiaries, including Toll Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. and Toll Finance Corp., have
guaranteed or will guarantee the obligations owing to the banks under the revolving credit
facility.
Conversion of Debt Securities
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be
convertible into our common stock or into any other securities. The particular terms and conditions
of the conversion rights of any series of convertible debt securities other than those described
below will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, and subject, if applicable, to prior
redemption at the option of the issuer of the debt securities, the holders of any series of
convertible debt securities will be entitled to convert the principal amount or a portion of the
principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000 at any time before the date specified in
the prospectus supplement for the series of debt securities into shares of our common stock at the
conversion price stated in the prospectus supplement, subject to adjustment as described below.
In the case of any debt security or portion of debt security called for redemption, conversion
rights will expire at the close of business on the second business day preceding the redemption
date.
We will not be required to issue fractional shares of common stock upon conversion of the debt
securities of a convertible series. Instead, we will pay a cash adjustment for any fractional
interest in a share of its common stock.
Convertible debt securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of
business on a Record Date, as defined in the applicable indenture, or the next preceding
Business Day, as defined in the applicable indenture, if the Record Date is not a Business Day,
preceding any Interest Payment Date, as defined in the applicable indenture, to the opening of
business on that Interest Payment Date, other than convertible debt securities or portions of
convertible debt securities called for redemption during the period, will be accompanied by payment
in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to us of an amount equal to the interest payable on the
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the convertible debt securities then being
converted. Except as described in the preceding sentence, no payment or adjustment will be made on
conversion of convertible debt securities on account of interest accrued on the debt securities
surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the common stock delivered on conversion. If an
issuer of convertible debt securities defaults on the payment of interest for which payment is made
upon the surrender of those convertible debt securities for conversion, the amount so paid will be
returned to the party who made the payment.
The conversion price of the debt securities of a convertible series will be subject to
adjustment in certain events, including:
|
|
|
the issuance of our common stock as a dividend or distribution on our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
the subdivision, combination or reclassification of our outstanding common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
the issuance of rights or warrants, expiring within 45 days after the record date for
issuance, to the holders of our common stock generally entitling them to acquire shares of
our common stock at less than the common stocks then Current Market Price as defined in
the indenture;
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution to holders of our common stock, generally, of evidences of indebtedness
or our assets, excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings and dividends or
distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is otherwise made; or
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution to the holders of our common stock, generally, of rights or warrants to
subscribe for our securities, other than those for which adjustment is otherwise made.
|
There will be no upward adjustment in the conversion price except in the event of a reverse
stock split. Toll Brothers, Inc. is not required to make any adjustment in the conversion price of
less than 1%, but the adjustment will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation
of any subsequent adjustment.
28
A conversion price adjustment or the failure to make a conversion price adjustment may, under
various circumstances, be deemed to be a distribution that could be taxable as a dividend under the
Internal Revenue Code to holders of debt securities or to holders of common stock.
There will be no adjustments to the conversion price of the debt securities of any convertible
series as discussed above in the following situations:
|
|
|
any consolidation or merger to which we are a party other than a merger or
consolidation in which we are the continuing corporation;
|
|
|
|
|
any sale or conveyance to another corporation of our property as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety; or
|
|
|
|
|
any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation, including any
exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into us
|
However, the holder of each convertible debt security outstanding at that time will have the
right to convert the debt security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property
which the holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after the
transaction if the debt security was converted immediately before the effective date of the
transaction.
Form, Exchange, Registration, Conversion, Transfer and Payment
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement:
|
|
|
each series of debt securities will be issued in registered form only, without
coupons;
|
|
|
|
|
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each series of the
debt securities will be payable at the office or agency of the issuer of that series
maintained for this purpose; and
|
|
|
|
|
the exchange, conversion and transfer of each series of debt securities may be
registered at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained for this
purpose and at any other office or agency maintained for this purpose.
|
Subject to various exceptions described in the indenture, the issuer of each series of debt
securities will be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for the registration of transfer or exchange
of the debt securities of that series, including an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge imposed or expenses incurred in connection with the transfer or exchange.
All payments made by the issuer of a series of debt securities to the trustee and paying agent
for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of that series
which remain unclaimed for two years after the principal, premium, if any, or interest has become
due and payable may be repaid to the issuer. Afterwards, the holder of the debt security may look
only to the issuer or, if applicable, Toll Brothers, Inc., for payment.
Registered Global Securities
The registered debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of
one or more registered global debt securities. A registered global security is a security,
typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers
of the security. Any registered global debt securities will be deposited with and registered in the
name of a depositary or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement. In this case, one or
more registered global securities will be issued, each in a denomination equal to the portion of
the total principal amount of outstanding registered debt securities of the series to be
represented by the registered global security.
Unless and until a registered global security is exchanged in whole or in part for debt
securities in definitive registered form, it may not be transferred except as a whole:
29
|
|
|
by the depositary for the registered global security to a nominee for the
depositary;
|
|
|
|
|
by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or to another nominee
|
|
|
|
|
of the depositary; or
|
|
|
|
|
by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or a nominee of a
successor depositary.
|
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the
specific terms of the depositary arrangement involving any portion of a series of debt securities
to be represented by a registered global security. We anticipate that the following provisions will
apply to all depositary arrangements for debt securities:
|
|
|
ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to
persons that have accounts with the depositary for the registered global security (each
a participant and, collectively, the participants) or persons holding interests
through the participants;
|
|
|
|
|
after the issuer of a series of debt securities issues the registered global
security for the series, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and
transfer system, the participants accounts with the respective principal amounts of
the debt securities of that series represented by the registered global security
beneficially owned by the participants;
|
|
|
|
|
the underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the distribution of the debt
securities will designate the accounts to be credited;
|
|
|
|
|
only a participant or a person that may hold an interest through a participant may
be the beneficial owner of a registered global security; and
|
|
|
|
|
ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security will be shown
on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records
maintained by the depositary for the registered global security for interests of the
participants, and on the records of the participants for interests of persons holding
through the participants.
|
The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical
delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons to
own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.
So long as the depositary for a registered global security, or its nominee, is the registered
owner of the registered global security, the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be
considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the registered global
security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as stated below, owners of beneficial
interests in a registered global security:
|
|
|
will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by a registered global
security registered in their names;
|
|
|
|
|
will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt
|
|
|
|
|
securities in definitive form; and
|
|
|
|
|
will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the
indenture.
|
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must
rely on the procedures of the depositary for the registered global security and, if the person is
not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its
interests, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture applicable to the registered
global security.
We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders, or
if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any
action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the
registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial
interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning
30
through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the
instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a
registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to
the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global
security. Neither the issuer of a series of debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc., the trustee under
the indenture nor any other agent of any of them will be responsible or liable for any aspect of
the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the
registered global security for the series or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to the beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global
security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the
registered global security, will immediately credit participants accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the registered
global security as shown on the depositarys records. We also expect that payments by participants
to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through the participants
will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with
the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in street name,
and will be the responsibility of the participants.
If the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global security is at
any time
unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Toll Brothers, Inc. will appoint an eligible successor
depositary. If Toll Brothers, Inc. fails to appoint an eligible successor depositary within 90
days, the debt securities will be issued in definitive form in exchange for the registered global
security. In addition, Toll Brothers, Inc. may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not
to have any debt securities of a series represented by one or more registered global securities.
In that event, debt securities of that series will be issued in definitive form in exchange for
each registered global security representing the debt securities. Any debt securities issued in
definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in such name or
names as the depositary instructs the trustee. We expect that the instructions will be based upon
directions received by the depositary from the participants with respect to ownership of beneficial
interests in the registered global security.
Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, each of the following events will be
an Event of Default with respect to each series of debt securities issued under the indenture:
|
|
|
Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to pay
interest due on any debt securities of that series for 30 days;
|
|
|
|
|
Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to pay the
principal of any debt securities of that series when due;
|
|
|
|
|
Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to perform
any other agreements contained in the debt securities of that series or in the
guarantee relating to that series of debt securities or contained in the indenture for
that series of debt securities and applicable to that series for a period of 60 days
after the issuers receipt of notice of the default from the trustee under the
indenture or the holders of at least 25% in principal of the debt securities of that
series;
|
|
|
|
|
default in the payment of indebtedness of Toll Brothers, Inc. or any Subsidiary,
as defined in the indenture of Toll Brothers, Inc., including Toll Corp., First
Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., under the
terms of the instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness which permits the
holder of the indebtedness to accelerate the payment of in excess of an aggregate of
$5,000,000 in principal amount of the indebtedness, after the lapse of applicable grace
periods or, in the case of non-payment defaults, acceleration of the indebtedness if
the acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days after the acceleration,
provided that, subject to certain limitations described in the indenture, the term
indebtedness does not include for this purpose an acceleration of or default on
certain Non-Recourse Indebtedness, as that term is defined in the indenture;
|
31
|
|
|
a final judgment for the payment of money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 is
entered against Toll Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary (as defined in the indenture) of
Toll Brothers, Inc., including Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll
Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., which remains undischarged for a period
during which execution is not effectively stayed of 60 days after the date on which the
right to appeal has expired, provided that the term final judgment will not include a
Non-Recourse Judgment, as that term is defined in the indenture, unless the book
value of all property, net of any previous write downs or reserves in respect of the
property, subject to the Non-Recourse Judgment exceeds the amount of the Non-Recourse
Judgment by more than $10,000,000;
|
|
|
|
|
an Event of Default, as that term is defined in the indenture relating to any outstanding debt securities identified in the indenture (each of these series of notes being referred to below as an Outstanding
Series), occurs, provided that on the date of the occurrence, the outstanding
principal amount of at least one Outstanding Series to which the occurrence relates
exceeds $5,000,000;
|
|
|
|
|
any one of various events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization specified in
the indenture occurs with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series
of debt securities; or
|
|
|
|
|
the guarantee of Toll Brothers, Inc. relating to that series of debt securities
ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with its
terms.
|
Non-Recourse Indebtedness, as defined in the indenture, means indebtedness or other
obligations secured by a lien on property to the extent that the liability for the indebtedness or
other obligations is limited to the security of the property without liability on the part of Toll
Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary, other than the subsidiary which holds title to the property, for
any deficiency.
Non-Recourse Judgment, as defined in the indenture, means a judgment in respect of
indebtedness or other obligations secured by a lien on property to the extent that the liability
for (1) the indebtedness or other obligations and (2) the judgment is limited to the property
without liability on the part of Toll Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary, other than the subsidiary
which holds title to the property, for any deficiency.
The trustee is required to give notice to the holders of any series of debt securities within
90 days of a default with respect to that series of debt securities under the indenture. However,
the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of debt securities, except in the case
of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to
that series, if the trustee considers the withholding to be in the interest of the holders.
If an Event of Default for the debt securities of any series at the time outstanding, other
than an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt securities, occurs and is
continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the
outstanding debt securities of that series may, by giving an acceleration notice to the issuer of
that series of debt securities, declare the unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on
all of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable if, with respect to debt securities
of that series (1) (a) no designated senior debt of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that
series of debt securities is outstanding, or (b) if the debt securities of that series are not
subordinated to other indebtedness of the issuer of that series of debt securities, immediately; or
(2) if designated senior debt of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt
securities is outstanding and the debt securities of that series are junior to other indebtedness
of the issuer of that series of debt securities, upon the earlier of (A) ten days after the
acceleration notice is received by the issuer of that series of debt securities or (B) the
acceleration of any senior indebtedness of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt
securities. The designated senior debt of Toll Brothers, Inc. is referred to in the indenture as
Designated Senior Debt of the Guarantor and the designated senior debt of Toll Corp., First
Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers Finance Corp. or Toll Finance Corp., as the case may be, is
referred to in the indenture for that issuers debt securities as Designated Senior Debt of the
Company, and each, as defined in the indenture, may be further defined in the prospectus
supplement.
If an Event of Default occurs with respect to a series of debt securities as a result of
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or
the issuer of that series of debt securities, then the unpaid principal amount of all of the debt
securities of that series outstanding, and any accrued and
32
unpaid interest, will automatically become due and payable immediately without any declaration
or other act by the trustee or any holder of debt securities of that series. At any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before
a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind the acceleration,
provided that, among other things, all Events of Default with respect to the particular series,
other than payment defaults caused by the acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
the indenture.
The holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of a
particular series may generally waive an existing default with respect to that series and its
consequences in accordance with terms and conditions provided in the indenture. However, these
holders may not waive a default in the payment of the principal, any premium or any interest on the
debt securities.
Toll Brothers, Inc. and any issuer of debt securities offered by this prospectus will be
required to file annually with the trustee under the indenture a certificate, signed by an officer
of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the issuer, stating whether or not the officer knows of any default
under the terms of the indenture and providing a description of any default of which the officer
has knowledge.
Additional Provisions
Subject to the duty of the trustee to act with the required standard of care during a default,
the indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to perform any duty or to
exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture, unless the trustee receives indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to these provisions for the
indemnification of the trustee and various other conditions, the holders of a majority in total
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that
series.
A holder of debt securities of a series will not have the right to pursue any remedy with
respect to the indenture or the debt securities of that series, unless:
|
|
|
the holder gives to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
|
|
|
|
|
the holders of not less than 25% in total principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of that series make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;
|
|
|
|
|
the holder offers the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense;
|
|
|
|
|
the trustee fails to comply with the holders request within 60 days after receipt
of the written request and offer of indemnity; and
|
|
|
|
|
the trustee, during the same 60-days, has not received from the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a
direction inconsistent with the aforementioned written request of holders.
|
However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on that debt security on or after the respective due dates expressed in
that debt security and to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment.
Covenants
The prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of any series will describe any
special covenants applicable to the issuer of the series or Toll Brothers, Inc. with respect to
that series.
Merger or Consolidation
Neither Toll Brothers, Inc. nor the issuer of a series of debt securities offered by this
prospectus may consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets
to, any other person without the consent of the holders of that series of debt securities, unless:

the other person is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by
supplemental indenture all the obligations of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer, as the
case may be, under the indenture
and either the guarantees or the debt securities, as the case may be; and
|
|
|
|
|
immediately after giving effect to the transaction no Default or Event of
Default, as these terms are defined in the indenture, has occurred and is continuing.
|
|
|
Afterwards, all of the obligations of the predecessor corporation will terminate.
|
Modification of an Indenture
The respective obligations of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the issuer of debt securities of any
series offered by this prospectus and the rights of the holders of those debt securities under the
indenture generally may be modified with the consent of the holders of a majority in outstanding
principal amount of the debt securities of all series under the indenture affected by the
modification. However, without the consent of each affected holder of debt securities, no
amendment, supplement or waiver may:
|
|
|
extend the maturity of any debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the principal amount of, or premium on, the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
change the redemption provisions;
|
|
|
|
|
make a change that adversely affects the right to convert or the conversion price
for any series of convertible debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver;
|
|
|
|
|
waive a default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any
series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
modify the subordination or guarantee provisions in a manner adverse to holders of
any series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
make the medium of payment other than that stated in the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
make any change in the right of any holder of debt securities to receive payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on those debt securities, or to bring suit
for the enforcement of any of these payments; and
|
|
|
|
|
change the provisions regarding modifications to the indenture or waiver of Defaults
or Events of Default that will be effective against any holders of any series of debt
securities.
|
34
Governing Law
The indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees will be governed by the laws of the
State of New York.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement,
the indenture will be discharged:
|
|
|
upon payment of all the series of debt securities issued under the indenture; or
|
|
|
|
|
upon deposit with the trustee, within one year of the date of maturity or redemption
of all of the series of debt securities issued under the indenture, of funds sufficient
for the payment or redemption of the securities.
|
Reports to Holders of Debt Securities
We file with the trustee copies of our annual reports and other information, documents and
reports that we file with the SEC. So long as our obligation to file these reports or information
with the SEC is suspended or terminated, we will provide the trustee with audited annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and unaudited
condensed quarterly financial statements. These financial statements will be accompanied by
managements discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition for
the period reported upon in substantially the form required under the rules and regulations of the
SEC then in effect.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may offer and sell the securities to which this prospectus relates in any one or more of
the following ways:
|
|
|
directly to purchasers;
|
|
|
|
|
to or through underwriters;
|
|
|
|
|
to or through dealers; or
|
|
|
|
|
to or through agents.
|
Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any
underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus
supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including the purchase price of the
securities and the proceeds to the issuer(s) from the sale of the securities, any underwriting
discounts and other items constituting underwriters compensation, any initial public offering
price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities
exchanges on which the securities may be listed.
The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
|
|
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
|
|
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
|
|
|
|
|
at prices related to prevailing market prices; or
|
|
|
|
|
at negotiated prices.
|
Each time we sell securities, we will describe the method of distribution of the securities in
the prospectus supplement relating to the transaction.
If underwriters are used in the offer and sale of the securities being offered by this
prospectus, the name of each managing underwriter, if any, and any other underwriters and the terms
of the transaction, including any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation
of the underwriters and dealers, if any, will be
35
included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. The securities will be
acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or
more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at
varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts
or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the
issuer(s) of the securities will sell those securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may
then resell those securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the
time of resale. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction will be identified in the
prospectus supplement.
If an agent is used in an offering of securities being offered by this prospectus, the agent
will be named and the terms of the agency will be described in the prospectus supplement relating
to the offering. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, an agent will act on a
best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of
the securities may be made, by the issuer(s) of those securities directly to institutional
investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933 with respect to any resales of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner
will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.
If indicated in the prospectus supplement, the issuer(s) of the securities to which the
prospectus supplement relates will authorize underwriters or their other agents to solicit offers
by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from the issuer(s) pursuant to contracts
providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these
contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds,
investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others. In all cases, these
purchasers must be approved by the issuer(s) of the securities. The obligations of any purchaser
under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of
the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to
which that purchaser is subject and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, the
issuer(s) must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery.
Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or
performance of these contracts.
In addition, the securities offered by this prospectus and an accompanying prospectus
supplement may be offered and sold by the holders of the securities in one or more of the
transactions described above, which transactions may be effected at any time and from time to time.
Upon a sale of securities made in this manner, the respective holders of the securities and any
participating broker, dealer or underwriter may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions, discounts or concessions upon the
sale, or any profit on the resale of the securities, received in connection with the sale may be
deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. The
compensation, including commissions, discounts, concessions and other profits, received by any
broker, dealer or underwriter in connection with the sale of any of the securities, may be less
than or in excess of customary commissions.
Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents we may use in any offering of securities under
this prospectus may be customers of, including borrowers from, engage in transactions with, and
perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters,
dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under agreements which may be entered into with
us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses.
Until the distribution of the securities offered by this prospectus is completed, rules of the
SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members, if any, to bid for
and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the representatives of the
underwriters, if any, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of
the securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging,
fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.
If underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering of
the securities (i.e., if they sell more securities than are included on the cover page of the
prospectus supplement), the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by
purchasing securities in the open market. The representatives of the underwriters also may elect to
reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option, if any, described
in the prospectus supplement.
36
The representatives of the underwriters also may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters
and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open
market to reduce the underwriters short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they
may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members
who sold those securities as part of the offering of the securities.
In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a syndicate
short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might otherwise be in the
absence of these types of purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might have an effect on the
price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security by purchasers
in the offering.
Neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation or prediction as to
the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the
price of the securities. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any
representation that the representatives of the underwriters, if any, will engage in these
transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be
described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. The securities offered by this
prospectus may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange (including the NYSE (where
our common stock is listed)), or a foreign securities exchange. We cannot give any assurances that
there will be a market for any of the securities offered by this prospectus and any prospectus
supplement.
Because an indeterminate amount of securities are covered by this Registration Statement and
the number of offerings are indeterminable, the expenses in connection with the issuance and
distribution of the securities are not currently determinable.

will be passed upon by WolfBlock LLP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) provides that a corporation
may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporationa derivative action), if they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions or proceedings, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the
case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action, and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The DGCL provides that it
is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporations bylaws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Under our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, the Company is obligated to indemnify and
hold harmless any Director, officer or employee of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to
the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than
such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against expenses (including
legal fees), judgments, losses, liability, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and
reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her, in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a proceeding), brought or threatened to be brought against him by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or trustee of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or trustee or in any other
capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or trustee; provided, however, that except
as provided in the Certification of Incorporation with respect to
II-1
proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company is obligated to indemnify any
such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. In addition to the
foregoing, the Company may provide indemnification for any indemnitee in those instances in which
such indemnification, although greater in scope or degree than that expressly provided by law, is
deemed to be in the best interest of the Company by (a) a majority of disinterested Directors even
though less than a quorum (which may consist of only one Director if there is only one
disinterested Director), (b) by a committee of disinterested Directors designated by a majority of
disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no disinterested
Directors, or if such disinterested Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
In addition, an indemnitee also has the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred
(including attorneys fees) in connection with any proceeding in advance of the final disposition
of the proceeding (hereinafter an advancement of expenses); provided, however, that, if required
by law, any advancement of expenses incurred by a indemnitee solely in his capacity as a director,
officer or employee shall only be made upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (hereinafter
an undertaking) by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal
(hereinafter a final adjudication) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company or authorized by law. No such undertaking is required in connection with the advancement
of expenses incurred by an indemnitee acting in any other capacity in which service is or was
rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan.
A Director of the Company will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the Directors 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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company carries directors and officers liability insurance that covers certain
liabilities and expenses of its directors and officers.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment of this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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 form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information relating 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 (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement,
or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this
registration statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
II-3
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to
be
part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in this registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as
part
of this registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section
10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is
at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this
registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration
statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting
method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating
to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) 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 will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
II-4
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 (Act) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission
under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities and this

exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents.
The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent.
The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this

Agent. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such
Agent and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Securities register at all reasonable
times to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon such register as
to the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and certificate numbers
thereof. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent or fails to give the
foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.

Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and the Trustee all money
held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall

Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.
Section 2.05 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent

Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of

part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Securities to be redeemed. Any transfer or exchange shall be without charge, except that the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange and any other expenses in
connection therewith) except in the case of exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.09, 3.06, or 10.05 not
involving any transfer.
Section 2.07 Replacement Securities.
If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or
wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon written request of any Officer of the Issuer,
the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security, provided that in the case of a lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code are met. If any such lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken
Security shall have matured or shall be about to mature, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a
substitute Security therefor, pay such Security without requiring (except in the case of a
mutilated Security) the surrender thereof. An indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of
the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any
of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, including the acquisition of such Security by a
protected purchaser. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every
replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors
Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities.
Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for
those presented to it by the Issuer or its designee for cancellation and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer, the
Guarantors or one of their Affiliates holds the Security.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected
purchaser.
If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay
Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
If a Security is called for redemption or if it matures in less than six months and if the
Issuer has satisfied its obligation to pay the Security, or if a Security has been converted in
accordance with the provisions of Article Eleven, the Issuer and the Trustee need not treat the
Security as outstanding in determining whether Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent.
For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities
that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have
given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the
principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon
- 12 -
acceleration upon an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by
the Trustee, the Issuer will advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in
reasonable detail.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.
Section 2.09 Temporary Securities.
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and execute, the
Guarantors shall endorse the Guarantee thereon, and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but
may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon surrender for cancellation of the temporary
Security, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive
Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.10 Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar
and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange, conversion, redemption or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel
and destroy all Securities surrendered for registration or transfer, exchange, redemption, paying
or cancellation. Unless the Authorizing Resolution so provides, the Issuer may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that it has previously paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.
Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted
interest plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest (to the extent lawful), if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special
Record Date. The Issuer shall fix such special Record Date and a payment date. At least 15 days
before such special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder a notice that states the
Record Date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
Section 2.12 Treasury Securities.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series
have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Securities owned by the Issuer, the
Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so considered.
- 13 -
Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers.
The Issuer in issuing the Securities of any Series may use a CUSIP number, and if so, the
Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders
of such Securities; provided that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as
to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP number printed in the notice or on such
Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
such Securities. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in any CUSIP number.
Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each interest payment date and maturity date with
respect to each Series of Securities, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in
immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments due on such interest payment
date or maturity date, as applicable, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit
payment to the Holders on such interest payment date or maturity date, as applicable.
Section 2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.
(a) Any Global Security of a Series initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the
depository who shall be identified in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating
to such Securities (the Depository) or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the
Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear any required legends.
Members of, or participants in, the Depository (Agent Members) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the
Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the
Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
the rights of a Holder of any Security.
(b) Transfers of any Global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part,
to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in
the Global Security may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities in accordance with
the rules and procedures of the Depository. In addition, definitive Securities shall be
transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global
Security if (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for the Global Security or, if at any time, the Depository ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depository
is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both
would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities and the Registrar has received
a request from the Depository to issue definitive Securities.
- 14 -
(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any
Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more
definitive Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in
the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Issuer and the Guarantors
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Securities of
like tenor and amount.
(d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant
to paragraph (b), the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial
interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of
authorized denominations.
(e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of such Series.
(f) Each Global Security shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for securities in definitive form,
this security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository to a nominee of the
depository, or by any such nominee of the depository, or by the depository or nominee of
such successor depository or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such
successor depository. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (DTC), to an issuer or its agent
for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered
in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity
as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use
hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered
owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Transfers of this global security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in
part, to nominees of Cede & Co. or to a successor thereof or such successors nominee and
transfers of portions of this global security shall be limited to transfers made in
accordance with the restrictions set forth in Section 2.17 of the Indenture referred to
herein.
Section 2.16 Restrictive Legends.
Each Global Security and Physical Security that constitutes a Restricted Security or is sold
in compliance with Regulation S shall bear the following legend (the Private Placement Legend) on
the face thereof until after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date and
- 15 -
the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of such Security (or any
predecessor note) (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any successor provision thereunder), or such longer period of time as may be required under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in the opinion of counsel for the Issuer, unless
otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof:
This security has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), or any state or other securities laws. Neither this security nor any interest
or participation herein or therein may be reoffered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
encumbered or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration or unless such transaction
is exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. By its
acquisition hereof, the holder (1) represents that it is a qualified institutional buyer (as
defined in Rule 144A (Rule 144A) under the Securities Act), (2) agrees not to offer, sell or
otherwise transfer this note prior to (x) the date which is two years (or such shorter period of
time as permitted by Rule 144 of the Securities Act) after the original issue date of the senior
notes or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law (the resale restriction
termination date) except (a) to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (b) pursuant to a
registration statement which has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long
as the senior notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person it reasonably
believes is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A that purchases for its own
account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer, in each case to whom notice is given
that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) to a non-U.S. person in an
offshore transaction (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (as indicated by the box checked by the
transferor on the certificate of transfer on the reverse of this security if this security is not
in book-entry form), (e) to an institutional accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 (a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act (an Institutional Accredited Investor)) that, prior to such
transfer, furnishes the trustee for the securities a signed letter containing certain
representations and agreements (the form of which can be obtained from the trustee), or (f)
pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of its
property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within its or their
control, and (3) agrees that it will give to each person to whom this note is transferred a notice
substantially to the effect of this legend; provided that the Company, and the Trustee shall have
the right prior to any such offer, sale or transfer pursuant to clause (f) to require the delivery
of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them.
This legend will be removed upon the request of the holder after the resale restriction termination
date.
In addition, the Global Security and any certificated notes sold to Qualified Institutional
Buyers pursuant to Rule 144A will contain an additional legend substantially to the following
effect:
Each purchaser of this security is hereby notified that the seller of this
security may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

QIB or to any Non-U.S. Person:
(i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Security constituting a Restricted
Security whether or not such Security bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the
requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue Date (provided, however,
that neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial interest
in such Security, or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of
the Issue Date) or (y) (1) in the case of a transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor
which is not a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons), the proposed transferee has delivered to

opinions and certifications required thereby or (2) in the case of a transfer to a Non-U.S.
Person, the proposed transferor has delivered to the Registrar a certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit D hereto; and

Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the certificate, if any, required by
paragraph (i) above and (y) written instructions given in accordance with the Depositorys
and the Registrars procedures, whereupon (a) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and

Securities) a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred,

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and
amount.
(b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration

transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):
(i) the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a
proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Security stating, or
has otherwise advised the Issuer and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made
in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the
certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the
Issuer and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own account
or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and
any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it
is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such
information regarding the Issuer as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined
not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its
foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule
144A; and
- 17 -
(ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Securities to be
transferred consist of Physical Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an
interest in a Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of written instructions given
in accordance with the Depositorys and the Registrars procedures, the Registrar shall
reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such
Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Securities to be
transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so transferred

bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the

Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.06 or this Section. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and
make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time
during the Registrars normal business hours upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Registrar.
(e) Transfers of Securities Held by Affiliates. Any certificate (i) evidencing a Security
that has been transferred to an Affiliate of the Company within two years after the Issue Date, as
evidenced by a notation on the Assignment Form for such transfer or in the representation letter
delivered in respect thereof or (ii) evidencing a Security that has been acquired from an Affiliate
(other than by an Affiliate) in a transaction or a chain of transactions not involving any public
offering, shall, until two years after the last date on which either the Company or any Affiliate

The Issuer and the Company each shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of
their respective fiscal years an Officers Certificate satisfying the requirements of TIA

documents to any prospective holder or beneficial owner at Companys cost. Delivery, of such
reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustees receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained

any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on
Officers Certificates).
(c) So long as any Securities remain outstanding and constitute restricted securities under

Successor Corporation
Section 5.01 When the Issuer or the Guarantors May Merge, etc.
Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will consolidate with or merge with or into or sell,
assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to another Person unless entitled
by law and unless:
(1) the resulting, surviving, receiving, or leasing Person is, in the case of (i) the Issuer
or the Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America
or any state thereof or (ii) any Guarantor (other than the Company), a corporation or other legal
entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof;
(2) such Person assumes by supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee all the obligations of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, under
- 22 -
the Securities or the Guarantee, as applicable, and the Indenture, and shall also expressly
assume by an amendment or supplement executed and delivered to the Trustee, in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the Issuers and such Guarantors, as applicable, covenants and
other obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement; and
(3) immediately after giving effect to, and as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer or lease, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be

merger, sale, assignment, transfer or lease of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer, the Company or
a Subsidiary that is, or concurrently with the completion of such consolidation, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer or lease becomes, a Guarantor.
Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment or transfer (including any
consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer described in the proviso at the end of the
immediately preceding sentence) the successor corporation or legal entity, as the case may be, will

released from its respective obligations to pay the principal and interest, if any, on the
Securities.
The Issuer and the Company shall each deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the
proposed transaction an Officers Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolutions
comply with this Indenture.
To the extent that an Authorizing Resolution or a supplemental indenture pertaining to any
Series provides for different provisions relating to the subject matter of this Article Five, the
provisions in such Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture shall govern for purposes of
such Series

when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30
days;
- 23 -
(2) the failure by the Issuer or a Guarantor to pay the principal of any Security of such
Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise;
(3) the failure by the Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary
to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Securities of such
Series, the Guarantees (as they relate thereto) or this Indenture (as they relate thereto), other
than a failure specifically dealt with elsewhere within this Indenture, and such failure continues
for the period and after the notice specified below;

Indebtedness of any Guarantor (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) aggregating $10,000,000 more
in aggregate principal amount, resulting in the acceleration of such Indebtedness, or due to the
failure to pay such Indebtedness at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise;
(5) the occurrence of an acceleration of, or a significant modification of the terms
(including without limitation the payment of more than an insignificant amount of fees to the
holders thereof) of any [ ] (each of these series of notes being
referred to below as an Outstanding Series), provided that on the date of such occurrence, the
outstanding principal amount of at least one Outstanding Series to which the occurrence relates
exceeds $5,000,000);
(6) any Guarantee in respect of the Securities by the Company or a Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be, or be asserted in writing by the Company,
such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in
accordance with its terms (other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release
or discharge of any such Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture); provided,
however, that if the Company, such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, asserts in writing that
such Guarantee is not in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, such
assertion shall not constitute an Event of Default for purposes of this paragraph if (i) such
written assertion is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of each of the Issuer, the Company and
such Guarantor to the effect that, as a matter of law, the defect or defects rendering such
Guarantee unenforceable can be remedied within 10 days of the date of such assertion, (ii) each of
the Issuer and the Company delivers an Officers Certificate to the effect that the Company, such
Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, represents that such defect or defects shall be so remedied
within such 10-day period, and (iii) such defect or defects are in fact so remedied within such
10-day period;
(7) the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law:
(A) commences a voluntary case,
(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case,
- 24 -
(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or
substantially all of its property, or
(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(A) is for relief against the Issuer, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case,
(B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the
Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or
(C) orders the liquidation of the Issuer, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary,
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.
A Default as described in sub-clause (3) above will not be deemed an Event of Default until
the Trustee notifies the Issuer and the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable Series notify the Issuer and
the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor which is a
Significant Subsidiary does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The
notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a Notice
of Default. If such a Default is cured within such time period, it ceases.
Any Event of Default that relates exclusively to a Guarantor other than the Company may be
cured to the extent such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.03.
The term Custodian means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar
official under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 6.02 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the Company
or any Significant Subsidiary resulting from sub-clauses (7) or (8) of Section 6.01), shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer and the Company
or the Holders or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the Securities of the
applicable Series then outstanding by notice to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, may
declare all Securities of such Series and interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable
immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities
of such Series and interest, if any, accrued thereon will be due and payable immediately. If an
Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary specified in
sub-clauses (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 occurs, all amounts due and payable on the Securities of
such Series will ipso facto become and be immediately due and
- 25 -
payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee, the Issuer,
the Company or any Holder. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of such Series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such Series and its
consequence (except an acceleration due to nonpayment of principal or interest on the Securities of
such Series) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all past
Events of Default have been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default, or shall
impair any right or power consequent thereon.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default on a Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or
interest on the Series or to enforce the performance of any provision in the Securities or this
Indenture applicable to the Series.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder
in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive
of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Section 10.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a Series on behalf of all the Holders of the Series by notice to the Trustee may
waive a past Default on such Series and its consequences. When a Default is waived, it is cured
and stops continuing, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such Series.
The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction (i) that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, (ii) that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Holders, or (iii) that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of a Series may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Series
unless:
(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default on the
Series;
- 26 -
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
the Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense;
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request
and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) no written request inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of the Series.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without
the consent of the Holder.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities for the
whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities, including the other Guarantors) its creditors or its property, and
unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any
election of a Custodian, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and any
Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder except as aforesaid for the election of the
Custodian.

Section 6.10 Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the
following order:

Second: to Holders of the Series for amounts due and unpaid on the Series for
principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Series for principal and interest,
respectively; and
Third: to the Issuer or the Guarantors as their interests may appear.
The Trustee may fix a Record Date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having the due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the Series.

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 8.01 Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations.
- 32 -
(a) The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or
paragraph (c) below be applied to the outstanding Securities of any Series upon compliance with the
applicable conditions set forth in paragraph (d).
(b) Upon the Issuers exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph
(b), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from their
respective obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series on the date the
applicable conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, Legal Defeasance). For this
purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of a Series, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of the Sections and matters under
this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned, except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of
Holders of outstanding Securities of a Series to receive solely from the trust fund described in
paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth in such paragraph, payments in respect of the
principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due and (ii) obligations listed
in Section 8.02, subject to compliance with this Section. The Issuer may exercise its option under
this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph (c) below with
respect to such Securities.
(c) Upon the Issuers exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph
(c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be released and discharged from the obligations under any
covenant contained in Article Five, Section 4.04 and any other covenant contained in the
Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such Series to the extent provided for
therein, on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, Covenant
Defeasance), and the Securities of such Series shall thereafter be deemed to be not outstanding
for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means
that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series, the Issuer may omit to comply with
and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01(3), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
(d) The following shall be the conditions to application of either paragraph (b) or paragraph
(c) above to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series:
(1) The Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, pursuant to an
irrevocable trust and security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, money in U.S. dollars or U.S. government obligations or a combination thereof which
through the payment of interest and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide
money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on, and any mandatory sinking
fund payments in respect of the outstanding Securities of such
- 33 -
Series on the stated maturity of the payments, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
and such Securities; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) shall have
received an irrevocable written order from the Issuer instructing the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. government obligations to said payments
with respect to the Securities of such Series to maturity;
(2) No Default or Event of Default and no event which, with notice or lapse of time, would
become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;
(3) Such deposit will not result in a Default under this Indenture or a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement to which the Issuer,
the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of their property is bound;
(4) (i) In the event the Issuer elects paragraph (b) hereof, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, to the effect that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date pertaining to such Series,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that, or (ii) in the event the Issuer
elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, in
the case of clauses (i) and (ii), Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance
contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not
occurred;
(5) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate, stating that the
deposit under clause (1) was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of
the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of
defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others;
(6) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, (A) the trust funds will not be subject to the
rights of Holders of Indebtedness of the Issuer other than the Securities of such Series and (B)
assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day
following the deposit and that no Holder of Securities of such Series is an insider of the Issuer,
after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditors rights generally; and
(7) The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance
contemplated by this Section have been complied with. In the event all or any portion of the
Securities of a Series are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Issuer
- 34 -
must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the
giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Issuer.
(e) In addition to the Issuers rights above under this Section, the Issuer may terminate all
of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to a Series, and the obligations of the
Guarantors shall terminate with respect to such Series (subject to Section 8.02), when:
(1) All Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as
provided in Section 2.07 and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or
discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or all such
Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable
and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust solely for that purpose an amount of money sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for
principal of and interest;

(3) The Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited
money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or redemption, as applicable; and

Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.
Section 8.02 Survival of the Issuers Obligations.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture under Section 8.01, the
Issuers obligations in paragraph 9 of the Securities and Sections 2.03 through 2.07, 4.01, 7.07,
7.08, 8.04 and 8.05, however, shall survive until the Securities of an applicable Series are no
longer outstanding. Thereafter, the Issuers obligations in paragraph 9 of the Securities of such
Series and Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive (as they relate to such Series).
Section 8.03 Application of Trust Money.
The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. government obligations deposited with it
pursuant to Section 8.01. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. government
obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities of the defeased Series.
- 35 -
Section 8.04 Repayment to the Issuer.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess
money or securities held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in
a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each such Holder notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to the money
must look to the Issuer or any Guarantor for payment as general creditors unless applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.
Section 8.05 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. government obligations in accordance with
Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuers and each Guarantors obligations under this Indenture and the Securities relating to the
Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01
until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. government obligations
in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that (a) if the Issuer has made any payment of
interest on or principal of any Securities of the Series because of the reinstatement of their
obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money or U.S. government obligations held by the Trustee and (b)
unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority, the Trustee shall return all such money or U.S. government obligations to
the Issuer promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement
of the Issuers obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.
ARTICLE NINE
Guarantees
Section 9.01 Unconditional Guarantees.
Subject to any other provisions set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture relating to a particular Series, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby
unconditionally guarantees on a senior basis (each such guarantee to be referred to herein as the
Guarantee) to each Holder of Securities of such Series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns irrespective of the validity and enforceability
of this Indenture, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series will be
promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any
interest of the Securities of such Series and all other obligations of the Issuer to the
- 36 -
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, except obligations to pay principal and
interest on any other Series not so guaranteed, will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment
or renewal of any Securities of such Series or of any such other obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due or to be performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set
forth in Section 9.04. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities of such
Series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by
any Holder of the Securities of such Series with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that,
subject to Section 9.03, this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of
the obligations contained in the Securities of the applicable Series, this Indenture and in this
Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Guarantor to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated
in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the
one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.
Section 9.02 Severability.
In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
Section 9.03 Release of a Guarantor.
(a) Any Guarantor other than the Company may be released from its Guarantee so long as (1) no
Default or Event of Default exists or would result from release of such Guarantee, (2) the
Guarantor being released has Consolidated Net Worth of less than 5% of the Companys Consolidated
Net Worth as of the end of the Companys most recent fiscal quarter, (3) the Guarantors released
from their Guarantees in any year-end period comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and
to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a Default) of the Companys Consolidated Net Worth as
of the end of the Companys most recent fiscal quarter, (4) such release would not have a material
adverse effect on the homebuilding business of the
- 37 -
Company and its Subsidiaries and (5) the Guarantor is released from its guaranty(ees) under
the Bank Credit Facilities; provided, that if such Guarantor subsequently provides a guarantee of
the Bank Credit Facilities, it shall comply with Section 4.04. If there are no guarantors under
the Bank Credit Facilities, Guarantors under this Indenture, other than the Company, will be
released from their Guarantees.
(b) Unless the Company elects otherwise, a Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Article
Nine upon the delivery of an Officers Certificate from each of the Issuer and the Company to the
Trustee that the terms and conditions of Section 9.03 have been satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel
of the Issuer and the Company to the Trustee that such release under the Bank Credit Facility is
effective, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The
Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a
request by the Issuer and the Company. The Company and any Guarantor not released in accordance
with this Section shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the
Securities as provided in this Article Nine.
Section 9.04 Limitation of a Guarantors Liability.
Each Guarantor and each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties
that the guarantee by the Guarantors pursuant to their Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act,
the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Guarantors (other than the Company) and the Holders hereby irrevocably
agree that the obligations of such Guarantors under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum
amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantors and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or
pursuant to Section 9.06, result in the obligations of such Guarantors under the Guarantee not
constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 9.05 Contribution.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors
agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a Funding
Guarantor) under the Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from
all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor
(including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding
Guarantor in discharging the Issuers obligations with respect to any Securities or any other
Guarantors obligations with respect to the Guarantee. Adjusted Net Assets of such Guarantor at
any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such
Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent
liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed
on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of its Guarantee), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at
such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date
exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability
- 38 -
of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent
liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee), excluding
debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured. This
Section 9.05 shall be for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors and does not
inure to the benefit of and may not be relied upon by any third party beneficiaries.
Section 9.06 Waiver of Subrogation.
Until all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture and with respect to all Securities of an
applicable Series are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other
rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence,
payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantors obligations under the Guarantee and this
Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Securities of
the applicable Series against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take
or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in
any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities of the
applicable Series shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been
paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the
Securities of the applicable Series, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of
such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Securities of the applicable Series, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges
that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by
this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits.
Section 9.07 Execution of Guarantee.
To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article Nine, the Guarantors
hereby agree to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit A or in any
such other form set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to the
applicable Series, which shall be endorsed on each Security ordered to be authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this
Article Nine shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Security a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each
Guarantor by two Officers, or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary or one Officer shall sign and
one Officer or an Assistant Secretary (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized
by all requisite corporate actions) shall attest to such Guarantee prior to the authentication of
the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such
Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such
Officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such
Officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer before the Security on
which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been
- 39 -
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the
Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company or the other Guarantor.

The Issuer and the Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of
the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each such Series affected by the amendment,
may execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or changing or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or modifying the rights of the Holders of such Securities, except that
no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security
affected by the supplemental indenture, among other things:
(1) change the final maturity of the Securities, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest, on the Securities, or reduce the principal amount of the Securities, or impair

Subject to the following sentence, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of any Series may, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities of such
Series, waive any past default under this Indenture relating to such Series without notice to any
Holder. Without the consent of the Holder of a Securities affected, however, an amendment,
supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, shall not be able to effect any
of the actions contemplated by clauses (1) (6) of this Section. Each such Series shall vote as a
separate class.
An amendment of a provision included solely for the benefit of one or more Series does not
affect the interests of Holders of any other Series.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.
Section 10.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA
as then in effect.
Section 10.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder shall bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holders Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. Subject
to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent
as to his Security or portion of a Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the
Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Securities of any Series entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver, which Record Date shall be at least 10 days prior to the first solicitation
of such consent. If a Record Date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such Record Date (or their duly
designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously
given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such Record Date. No such consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such Record Date.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless
it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (6) of Section 10.02, in which case, the
amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it
and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holders Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the
right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.
- 42 -
Section 10.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security or a Guarantee, the
Issuer may or the Company may cause the Issuer to require the Holder of the Security or the
Guarantor, as applicable, to deliver such Security or Guarantee to the Trustee, at which time the
Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Security or Guarantee, as applicable, about the
changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Trustee or the Issuer so
determines or the Company causes the Issuer to so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the
Security or Guarantee, as applicable, shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security
that reflects the changed terms.
Section 10.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
Subject to Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may
but need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and
that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
Conversion of Securities
Section 11.01 Applicability of Article.
Securities of any Series which are convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Holder
shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and unless the Authorizing Resolution provides
otherwise, in accordance with this Article. Each reference in this Article Eleven to a Security
or the Securities refers to the Securities of the particular Series that is convertible into
Common Stock. If more than one Series of Securities with conversion privileges are outstanding at
any time, the provisions of this Article Eleven shall be applied separately to each such Series.
Section 11.02 Conversion Privilege.
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Eleven, the Holder of any
Security so designated shall have the right, at its, his or her option, at any time prior to the
close of business on the date specified in the Securities of such Series (or if such Security or
portion thereof is called for redemption prior to such date, then in respect of such Security or
portion thereof to and including but not after the close of business on the second day (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, then on the next following Business Day) preceding the date fixed for
such redemption) to convert the principal amount of any such Security, or any portion of such
principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into that number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of the Companys Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the
nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Security or
- 43 -
portion thereof to be converted by the Conversion Price and by surrender of the Security so to
be converted in whole or in part, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in
Section 11.03. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Issuer shall fail to redeem a
Security which has been called for redemption, the Holder of such Security shall retain the right
to convert such Security as provided in this Article Eleven.
Section 11.03 Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege.
In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted in
whole or in part shall surrender such Security at any of the offices or agencies to be maintained
for such purpose by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01, and shall give notice to the Issuer and
the Company in the form provided in the Security, duly executed, at such office or agency that the
Holder elects to convert such Security or the portion thereof specified in said notice. Such
notice shall also state the name or names, together with the address or addresses, in which the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion
shall be issued. Each Security surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on
conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such Security is registered, be
accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the
Holder or its, his or her duly authorized attorney. Securities so surrendered during the period
from the close of business on a Record Date, or the next preceding Business Day if such Record Date
is not a Business Day, preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such
Interest Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during such
period) shall also be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to the
Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal
amount of such Security then being converted; provided, however, that, if the Issuer shall default
on the payment of said interest, said funds shall be returnable to the payor thereof. As promptly
as practicable after the surrender of such Security, as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and
shall deliver at such office or agency to such Holder, or on its, his or her written order, a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of such Security or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article
Eleven and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such
conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 11.04. In case any Security of a denomination
greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Issuer and the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder of the
Security so surrendered, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities and Guarantee
or Guarantees in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted
portion of the surrendered Security. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such Security shall have been
surrendered and such notice received by the Issuer and the Company as aforesaid, and the Person or
Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
shares represented thereby at such time and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in
effect at such time, unless the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed on that date,
in which event such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of
record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are
open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such
Security shall have been surrendered and
- 44 -
such notice received by the Issuer and the Company. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for
a payment in the event of conversion after the close of business on a Record Date preceding an
Interest Payment Date, no payment or adjustment shall be made on conversion for interest accrued on
the Securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the Common Stock delivered on such
conversion.
Section 11.04 Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Securities.
Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable
upon the conversion of any Security or Securities, the Issuer and/or the Company shall make an
adjustment therefor to the nearest 1/100th of a share in cash at the Current Market Price thereof
at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day of conversion. If more than
one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities, or specified portions thereof to be converted, so surrendered.
Section 11.05 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted
so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company which it, he or
she would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately
prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective
immediately after the Record Date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the
Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive
shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of
the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described
in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) shall determine in an equitable
manner the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of
Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock.
(b) In case the Company shall hereafter issue rights or warrants to holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock generally entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the
Record Date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per
share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date mentioned
below, the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be
- 45 -
adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of
issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of
the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
(c) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to holders of its outstanding Common Stock
generally evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend paid from retained
earnings of the Company and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is
made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 11.05) or rights or warrants to subscribe to
securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 11.05),
then in each such case the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted so that
the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current
Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date mentioned below less the then fair
market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and
shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) of the portion of
the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock
or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which
the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for the determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) In any case in which this Section 11.05 shall require that an adjustment be made
immediately following a Record Date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business
Days following the filing by the Issuer with the Trustee and the Registrar of the certificate of
independent public accountants described in subsection (f) of this Section 11.05) issuing to the
Holder of any Security converted after such Record Date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the
basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment.
(e) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this subsection (e) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided further that adjustment
shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article Eleven (other than
this subsection (e)), not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free
nature of a distribution to the holders of Securities or Common Stock. All calculations under this
Section 11.05 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case
may be. Anything in this Section 11.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be
entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this
Section 11.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock
dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or
- 46 -
securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter
made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable.
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Issuer and the
Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and the Registrar a certificate of a firm of
independent public accountants setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the
same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment and (ii)
a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Price shall forthwith be given by the Issuer and the Company to the Holders in the
manner provided in Section 12.02. Subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), the Trustee and any
conversion agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or
the certificate provided for in Section 11.10 except to exhibit the same from time to time to any
Holder of a Security desiring an inspection of such certificate.
(g) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a)
of this Section 11.05, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall
become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter
the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article Eleven.
Section 11.06 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.
In the event:
(a) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion
Price pursuant to Section 11.05(c); or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock (as a class)
of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other
rights; or
(c) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other
than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in the
par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party or
any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company; or
(d) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company; then the Issuer and the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the
Registrar, and shall cause to be given to the Holders, in the manner provided in Section 12.02, at
least 14 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution or rights, or, if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
distribution or rights are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization,
- 47 -
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice or any defect
therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in subsection (a),
(b), (c) or (d) of this Section 11.06.
Section 11.07 Company to Provide Stock.
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or
its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting
conversions of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Securities not theretofore converted. For purposes of this
Section 11.07, the number of shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion
of all outstanding Securities shall be computed as if at the time of computation all outstanding
Securities were held by a single Holder.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below
the then par value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversions of the
Securities, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
The Company will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon
conversion of Securities prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange, if any,
upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery.
Prior to the delivery of any securities which the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon
conversion of the Securities, the Company will endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws
and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of
or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
Section 11.08 Taxes on Conversions.
The Issuer and/or the Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversions
of Securities pursuant hereto; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Company shall be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Securities to be
converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issue or delivery has paid to the Issuer and/or the Company the amount of any such tax or has
established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer and the Company, that such tax has been paid.
Section 11.09 Covenant as to Stock.
- 48 -
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversions
of Securities will upon delivery be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free
of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.
Section 11.10 Consolidation or Merger.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is
the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in
connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), there shall be no adjustments
under Section 11.05 but the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter to convert such Security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property
which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had such Security been converted immediately prior
to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in
any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions set forth in this Article Eleven with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of
the Holders of the Securities, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article Eleven
shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to
any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the
Securities. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental indenture
executed by the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee and approved by a firm of independent public
accountants, evidenced by a certificate to that effect; and any adjustment so approved shall for
all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
The above provisions of this Section 11.10 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.
The Issuer shall give notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture to the Holders
of Securities in the manner provided in Section 12.02 within 30 days after the execution thereof.
The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares
of stock or securities or property receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities
after any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance, or to any adjustment
to be made with respect thereto.
Section 11.11 Disclaimer of Responsibility for Certain Matters.
Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to
any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of
the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or
with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any
- 49 -
supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor
the Registrar shall be accountable with respect to the listing or registration referred to in
Section 11.07 or the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of
any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any
Security; and neither the Trustee nor the Registrar makes any representation with respect thereto.
Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue,
transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or
property or to make any cash payment upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of
conversion or, subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), to comply with any of the covenants
contained in this Article Eleven.

2. Method of Payment.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will

6. Mandatory Redemption.

to this Paragraph 6 by the principal amount of any Securities previously redeemed, retired or
acquired, otherwise than pursuant to this Paragraph 6, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation and not previously credited to the Issuers obligations under this Paragraph 6.

endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by

Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or

360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will
be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special Record Date as may be
fixed by the Issuer) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of
business on the
[Insert Record Dates]

terms not defined herein have the meanings given to those terms in the Indenture). Holders must

of public and private debts.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

[ ]
(Indenture), among the Issuer, the Company , the other

indenture pertaining to the Securities of the Series of which this Security is a part) and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (TIA) as in effect on
the date of the Indenture. The Securities and the Guarantee are subject to all such terms, and

years Percentage [Insert provisions relating to redemption at option of Holders, if any] If less

such exchange, or if the Securities are not so listed, on either a pro rata basis or by lot or by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection
from Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Securities in denominations
of $1,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to
$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations
larger than $1,000. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at the registered
address of such Holder. On and after the redemption dates interest ceases to accrue on the
Securities or portions thereof called for redemption, provided that if the Issuer shall default in

shall continue to accrue at the rate borne by the Securities.
6. Mandatory Redemption.
7
The
Issuer shall redeem ___ % of the aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued
under the Indenture on each of __________, which redemptions are calculated to retire ___% of the
Securities originally issued prior to maturity. Such redemptions shall be made at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the
redemption date. The Issuer may reduce the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed pursuant
to this Paragraph 6 by the principal amount of any Securities previously redeemed, retired or
acquired, otherwise than pursuant to this Paragraph 6, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation and not previously credited to the Issuers obligations under this Paragraph 6.
Each such Security shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption
price and the amount of such mandatory redemption payment shall be reduced accordingly.

require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not
transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if
the Security is redeemed in part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of
this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
9. Unclaimed Money.

or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Issuer at its request. After that, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Issuer for payment unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person.

amount of the outstanding Securities and any past default or compliance with any provision relating
to the Securities may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Without the consent of any Holder, the

ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, (provided such action does not adversely affect the
rights of the Holders), to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer or any

rights of the Holders), to provide that specific Indenture provisions shall not apply to an
unissued Series of Securities, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place
of certificated Securities, to create a Series and establish its terms, to remove a Guarantor,

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Issuer shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.
13. Discharge of Indenture.
The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to defeasance, which provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

to an Authorizing Resolution, an Officers Certificate or in any indenture supplemental hereto.
The creation and issuance of a Series and the authentication and delivery thereof are not
subject to any conditions precedent.
Section 2.04
Execution and Authentication
. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for
the Company by manual or facsimile signature. The Companys seal shall be reproduced on the
Securities. Two Officers of the Guarantor shall sign the notation of the Guarantee by manual or
facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.
A Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has
been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue upon a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company. Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. In authenticating Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to the TIA) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the authentication and
delivery of the Securities have been complied with and that the Securities have been duly executed
and, when the Securities have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, will be duly
issued and delivered and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
(including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and subject to
the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 2.05
Registrar and Paying Agent
. The Company shall maintain an office or
agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer, for exchange or, if
applicable, for conversion (in the case of conversion, as agent for the Guarantor) (Registrar)
and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (Paying Agent). The
- 8 -
Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer. The Company may have
one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term Paying Agent
includes any additional paying agent.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent
or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of
this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and
address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the
Trustee shall act as such.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.
Section 2.06
Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust
. Each Paying Agent shall hold in
trust for the benefit of the Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal or interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default
by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. While any such
default continues, the Trustee shall require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and
hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all
money held by it to the Trustee. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money.
Section 2.07
Securityholder Lists
. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as
is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on
or before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing
a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
addresses of Securityholders.
Section 2.08
Transfer and Exchange
. Where a Security is presented to the Registrar or
a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register its transfer as
requested if its reasonable requirements are met. Where Securities are presented to the Registrar
or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of
other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements
are met. To permit transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the
Registrars request. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Security selected for
redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if the Security is redeemed in part, or transfer or
exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.
The Company may charge a reasonable fee for any transfer or exchange (including the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any such transfer or exchange and any other expenses in connection therewith) but not for any
exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06 or 12.05. This Section 2.08 is subject to the provisions
of any series of the Securities providing for the subordination or seniority of such series and the
related Guarantees of such series in right of payment to other indebtedness of the Company and the
Guarantor, respectively.
- 9 -
Section 2.09
Replacement Securities
. If the Holder of a Security claims that the
Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a replacement Security and the Guarantor shall endorse the Guarantee thereon if
the Trustees reasonable requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be sufficient in the
judgment of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may
suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.
Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and the Guarantor.
Section 2.10
Outstanding Securities
. Securities outstanding at any time are all
Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those presented to it by the Company or its
designee for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does
not cease to be outstanding because the Company, the Guarantor or one of their Affiliates holds the
Security.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser.
If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay
Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
If a Security is called for redemption or if it matures in less than six months and if the
Company has satisfied its obligation to pay the Security, or if a Security has been converted in
accordance with the provisions of Article 10, the Company and the Trustee need not treat the
Security as outstanding in determining whether Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent.
For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities
that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have
given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the
principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon acceleration
upon an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by the Trustee, the
Company will advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in reasonable detail.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.
Section 2.11
Temporary Securities
. Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities and the
Guarantor shall endorse the Guarantee thereon. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in
- 10 -
the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and
the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and the Guarantor shall endorse the Guarantee
thereon in exchange for temporary Securities.
Section 2.12
Cancellation
. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, conversion or payment. The Trustee and no
one else shall cancel and destroy all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, conversion,
payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedure. Unless the Authorizing
Resolution so provides, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid
or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.13
Defaulted Interest
. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on
the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner. It may pay the defaulted
interest, plus any interest payable on the interest (to the extent lawful) if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, to the Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special
record date (the Special Record Date). The Company shall fix the subsequent Special Record Date
and payment date. At least 15 days before such Special Record Date, the Company shall give notice
to the Trustee and shall mail to each Securityholder a notice that states the subsequent Special
Record Date, the payment date, and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
Section 2.14
Global Securities
. Unless the Authorizing Resolution provides otherwise,
the Company may issue some or all of the Securities of a Series in temporary or permanent global
form. A global Security shall represent that amount of Securities of a Series as specified in the
global Security or as endorsed thereon from time to time. At the Companys request, the Registrar
shall endorse a global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the Securities
represented thereby.
The Company may issue a global Security only to a depositary designated by the Company. A
depositary may transfer a global Security only as a whole to its nominee or to a successor
depositary.
The Authorizing Resolution may establish, among other things, the manner of paying principal
and interest on a global Security and whether and upon what terms a beneficial owner of an interest
in a global Security may exchange such interest for definitive Securities.
The Company and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of a
depositary, for any depositary records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions
between the depositary and beneficial owners.
ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION
Section 3.01
Notices to Trustee
. Securities of a Series that are redeemable prior to
maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and, unless the Authorizing Resolution
provides otherwise, in accordance with this Article.
- 11 -
If the Company wants to redeem Securities pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be
redeemed. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being
mailed to Holders. Any such canceled notice shall be void and of no effect.
If the Company wants to credit any Securities previously redeemed, retired or acquired against
any redemption pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount
of the credit and it shall deliver any Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation with such notice.
The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.01 at least 10 Business Days
before the notice of any such redemption is to be mailed to Holders (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee).
Section 3.02
Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed
. If less than all the Securities
of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed, if the
Securities of such Series are listed on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the
rules of such exchange, or if the Securities of such Series are not so listed, on either a pro rata
basis or by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee
shall make the selection from Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption.
Securities in denominations of $1,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for
redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of
Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.
Section 3.03
Notice of Redemption
. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder
of Securities to be redeemed.
The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price;
(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(4) in the event that any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender
of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued;
(5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price;
(6) that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;
- 12 -
(7) that the Securities are being redeemed pursuant to the mandatory redemption or the
optional redemption provisions, as applicable; and
(8) if applicable, the current Conversion Price and the date on which the right to convert the
Securities into Common Stock will expire.
At the Companys request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Companys
name and at the Companys expense.
Section 3.04
Effect of Notice of Redemption
. Once notice of redemption is mailed,
Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the
redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the
redemption price, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
Section 3.05
Deposit of Redemption Price
. Prior to the redemption date, the Company
or its designee shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of
and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.
Section 3.06
Securities Redeemed in Part
. Upon surrender of a Security that is
redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security and the Guarantor
shall endorse the Guarantee thereon equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Securities surrendered.
ARTICLE 4

Section 4.01
Payment of Securities
. The Company shall pay the principal of and
interest on Securities of a Series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of the
Series An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the

available and sufficient to pay the installment.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Series; it shall
pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
Section 4.02

copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe)
which they are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
the Guarantor and the Company shall file the same with the Trustee. If the Guarantor shall cease
to be subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Guarantor shall
file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the last date on which it would have been required to
make such a filing with the SEC, financial statements, including any notes thereto, and a
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each
comparable to that which the Guarantor would have been required to include in such annual reports,
information, documents or other reports, if the Guarantor were then subject to the requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
- 13 -
The Company and the Guarantor also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section
314(a).
Section 4.03

assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor under the
Indenture and either the Securities or the Guarantee, as the case may be; and (ii) immediately

ARTICLE 6
SUBORDINATION
Section 6.01
Agreement to Subordinate
. The provisions of this Article 6 shall apply
to the Securities of a Series to the extent specified in the Authorizing Resolution relating to
such Series. Each reference in this Article 6 to a Security or the Securities refers to the
Securities of each such Series so designated.
The Company, for itself and its successors, and each Holder, by accepting Securities, agrees
that the payment of the principal of, interest on or any other amounts due on the Securities are
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner stated in this Article 6, to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Each Holder by accepting
Securities authorizes and directs the Trustee on behalf of such Holder to take such action as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company and such Holder, the subordination provided in this Article 6 and appoints the Trustee
attorney-in-fact for such Holder for such purpose.
This Article 6 shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such
provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and such
provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and such
holders are made obligees hereunder and they and/or each of them may enforce such provisions.
Section 6.02
Company Not To Make Payments with Respect to Securities in Certain
Circumstances.
- 14 -
(a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company by lapse of time, acceleration
(unless waived) or otherwise, all principal thereof and interest thereon shall first be paid in
full, or such payment duly provided for in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness of the Company, before any payment is made on account of the principal of or
interest on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities.
(b) In the event that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.02 the Company shall
make any payment to the Trustee on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities after
the happening of a default in payment of the principal of or interest on Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased
to exist, such payment (subject to the provisions of Sections 6.06 and 6.07) shall be held by the
Trustee, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis of
the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness of the Company held by them) or their representative
or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior
Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for
application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid to the extent
necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Company in full in accordance with its terms, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of the Company.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default in the payment of
principal of or interest on any Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
Section 6.03
Securities Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness of the
Company on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of the Company
. Upon any distribution of
assets of the Company in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company
(whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the
benefits of creditors or otherwise):
(a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be entitled to receive
payment in full of the principal thereof and interest due thereon before the Holders of the
Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on the
Securities;
(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee on behalf of
the Holders of the Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 6,
including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the
payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the
Securities, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment
or distribution directly to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their
representative, or to the trustee under any indenture under which Senior Indebtedness of the
Company may have been issued (pro rata as to each such holder, representative or trustee on the
basis of the respective amounts of unpaid Senior Indebtedness of the Company held or represented by
each), to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company
remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent
- 15 -
payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of
the Company, except that Holders of the Securities would be entitled to receive securities that are
subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to at least the same extent as the Securities;
and
(c) in the event that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character whether in cash, property
or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by
reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of
the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities on account of
principal of or interest on the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in
full, or effective provision made for its payment, such payment or distribution (subject to the
provisions of Sections 6.06 and 6.07) shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid
over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid or unprovided for or
their representative, or to the trustee under any indenture under which such Senior Indebtedness of
the Company may have been issued (pro rata as provided in subsection (b) above), for application to
the payment of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company until all such Senior Indebtedness of the
Company shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
or provision therefor to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company, except that
Holders of the Securities would be entitled to receive securities that are subordinated to Senior
Indebtedness of the Company to at least the same extent as the Securities.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company.
Section 6.04
Securityholders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Company
. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the
Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated equally and ratably to the rights of the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive payments or distributions of assets of the
Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company until all amounts owing on the
Securities shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company by or on behalf of the
Company or by or on behalf of the Holders of the Securities by virtue of this Article 6 which
otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall, as among the Company, its
creditors other than holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness of
the Company, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 6 are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, on the other hand.
Section 6.05
Obligation of the Company Unconditional
. Nothing contained in this
Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Security is intended to or shall impair, as
between the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and interest
on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms,
or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and
- 16 -
creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor
shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to
the rights, if any, under this Article 6 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company in
respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such
remedy. Upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 6, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of

or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
Section 6.07

Business Days prior to the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any monies deposited with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation,
the payment of either the principal of or the interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have
received with respect to such monies the notice provided for in Section 6.06, then the Trustee
shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be
received by it on or after such date. This Section shall be construed solely for the benefit of
the Trustee and such Paying Agent and shall not otherwise affect the rights of holders of Senior

or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with
the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may extend, renew,
modify or amend the terms of the Senior Indebtedness of the

attorney-in-fact for such purpose, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership
proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending towards
liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the immediate filing of a claim for the
unpaid balance of its, his or her Securities in the form required in said proceedings and cause
said claim to be approved. If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the
form required in such proceedings prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such
claim or claims, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company have the right to file and
are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of said
Securities.
Section 6.10
Right of Trustee To Hold Senior Indebtedness of the Company

of any of its rights as such holder.
Section 6.11

ARTICLE 7
GUARANTEE
Section 7.01
Guarantee
. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees (such
guarantee to be referred to herein as the Guarantee) to each Holder of a Security authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the
validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any interest on
the Securities, whether at maturity or on an Interest Payment Date, by acceleration or otherwise,
and interest on the overdue principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities, if lawful, and
all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the
Securities shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof
including all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 9.07 hereof, and (ii) in case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, that
the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or to be performed in accordance with the terms of
the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
- 18 -
If the Company fails to make any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever
reason, the Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantor hereby agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of,
and shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities, this
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of
the Securities or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand of performance, filing of claims
with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, the benefit of discussion, protest, notice and all demand
whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance
of the obligations contained in the Securities, in this Indenture and in this Article 7. If any
Securityholder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the
Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee or
such Securityholder, this Article 7, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in
full force and effect. The Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Securityholders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby
until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as
between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 8 for the
purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 8 such obligations (whether
or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of
this Article 7. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of an
acceleration under Article 8, the Trustee may make a demand for payment on the Securities under the
Guarantee provided hereunder and not discharged.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of any Securities against the
Company in respect of any amounts paid to the Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of
this Guarantee; provided that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any
payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and
interest on all the Securities shall have been paid in full.
The Guarantee set forth in this Section 7.01 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security shall
have been signed by the Trustee or any duly appointed agent.
Section 7.02
Agreement To Subordinate
. The provisions of this Article 7 shall apply
to the Securities of a Series to the extent specified in the Authorizing Resolution relating to
such Series. Each reference in this Article 7 to a Security or the Securities refers to the
Securities of each such Series so designated.
- 19 -
The Guarantor, for itself and its successors, and each Holder, by accepting the Securities,
agrees that the payment of the principal of, interest on and any other amounts due on the
Securities pursuant to the Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the
manner stated in this Article 7, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Guarantor. Each Holder by accepting Securities authorizes and directs the Trustee on behalf of
such Holder to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor and such Holder, the subordination provided in this
Article 7 and appoints the Trustee attorney-in-fact for such Holder for such purpose.
This Article shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such
provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, and such
provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, and
such holders are made obligees hereunder and they and/or each of them may enforce such provisions.
Section 7.03
Guarantor Not To Make Payments with Respect to Securities in Certain
Circumstances.
(a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor by lapse of time,
acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise, all principal thereof and interest thereon shall first
be paid in full, or such payment duly provided for in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, before any payment, pursuant to the
Guarantee, is made on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities or to acquire any
of the Securities.
(b) In the event that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.03 the Guarantor shall
make any payment to the Trustee on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities after
the happening of a default in payment of the principal of or interest on Senior Indebtedness of the
Guarantor, then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased
to exist, such payment (subject to the provisions of Sections 7.07 and 7.08) shall be held by the
Trustee, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis
of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor held by them) or their
representative or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which
Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor may have been issued, as their respective interests may
appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor remaining unpaid
to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor in full in accordance with
its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor.
The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default in the payment of
principal of or interest on any Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor.

or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):
(a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor shall first be entitled to receive
payment in full of the principal thereof and interest due thereon before the Holders of the
Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on the
Securities pursuant to the Guarantee;
(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee on behalf of
the Holders of the Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 7,
including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the
payment of any other indebtedness of the Guarantor being subordinated to the payment of the
Securities, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment
or distribution directly to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor or their
representative, or to the trustee under any indenture under which Senior Indebtedness of the
Guarantor may have been issued (pro rata as to each such holder, representative or trustee on the
basis of the respective amounts of unpaid Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor held or represented
by each), to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Guarantor remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or
provision therefor to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, except that Holders
of the Securities would be entitled to receive securities that are subordinated to Senior
Indebtedness of the Guarantor to at least the same extent as the Securities; and
(c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.04, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or
deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Guarantor being subordinated
to the payment of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities
on account of principal of or interest on the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness of the
Guarantor is paid in full, or effective provision made for its payment, such payment or
distribution (subject to the provisions of Sections 7.07 and 7.08) shall be received and held in
trust for and shall be paid over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor
remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their representative, or to the trustee under any indenture
under which such Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor may have been issued (pro rata as provided in
subsection (b) above), for application to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor
until all such Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor shall have been paid in full, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, except that Holders of the Securities would be entitled to
receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor to at least the
same extent as the Securities.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Guarantor referred to in this Article 7, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
- 21 -
certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the
Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor and other
Indebtedness of the Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 7.

distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor by or on behalf of the
Guarantor or by or on behalf of the Holders of the Securities by virtue of this Article 7 which
otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall, as among the Guarantor, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be payment by the Guarantor to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness of
the Guarantor, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 7 are intended solely for
the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, on the other hand.
Section 7.06
Obligation of the Guarantor Unconditional
. Nothing contained in this
Article 7 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Security is intended to or shall impair, as

on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of
the Guarantee, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the
Securities and creditors of the Guarantor other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the

Indebtedness of the Guarantor in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantor received

making, at any time except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization proceeding, and except during the continuance of any default specified in Section
7.03 (not cured or waived), payments at any time of the principal of or interest on the Securities
pursuant to the Guarantee.
Section 7.07

ARTICLE 8
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 8.01
Events of Default

whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 6 or Article 7; or
- 24 -

the Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or upon redemption, whether or not
such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 6 or Article 7; or
(3) the Company or the Guarantor fails to comply with any of its other agreements in the
Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture applicable to the Series and such failure continues for
the period and after the notice specified below; or

Subsidiary under the terms of the instrument evidencing or securing such indebtedness permitting
the holder thereof to accelerate the payment of in excess of an aggregate of $5,000,000 in
principal amount of such indebtedness (after the lapse of applicable grace periods) or, in the case
of non-payment defaults, there occurs an acceleration of any such indebtedness if such acceleration
is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days after such acceleration; provided, the term
indebtedness as used in this Section 8.01(4) shall not include an acceleration of or default on
Non-Recourse Indebtedness (a) if the Guarantor would be able to declare a dividend pursuant to the
terms of such Series in the amount of the excess of the aggregate book value of all property (net
of any previous write-downs or reserves in respect of such property) subject to the Non-Recourse
Indebtedness being accelerated or in default over such Non-Recourse Indebtedness or (b) which
consists of a purchase money obligation, provided such purchase money obligation does not exceed

reserves in respect of such property) subject to such Non-Recourse Judgment exceeds the amount of
such Non-Recourse Judgment by more than $10,000,000;
(6) there occurs an Event of Default, as that term is defined in the indenture relating to
the
[ ]
%
[ ]
due
[ ]
issued by
[ ]
, a
[ ]
corporation
(
[ ]
), (each such series being hereinafter referred to as a Previously Issued Series);
provided that on the date of the occurrence, the outstanding principal amount of at least one
Previously Issued Series to which the occurrence relates exceeds $5,000,000; or
(7) the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(A) commences a voluntary case,

default and the Company does not cure the default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The
notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a Notice
of Default.
Section 8.02
Acceleration
. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
under Section 8.01(7) or 8.01(8)) on a Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to
the Company and the Person or Persons designated to receive notices for the Agent (or other Person
acting on behalf of the banks) under the Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the Series by notice to the Company, the
Trustee and such Person or Persons (either such notice is referred to herein as an Acceleration
Notice) may declare the unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities
of the Series to be due and payable if, with respect to such Series, (i)(a) no Designated Senior
Debt of the Company or the Guarantor is outstanding, or (b) if the Securities of the Series are not
subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company, immediately, or (ii) if Designated Senior Debt
of the Company or the Guarantor is outstanding and the Securities of the Series are subordinated to
other indebtedness of the Company, upon the earlier of (A) ten days after such Acceleration Notice
is received by the Company and (B) the acceleration of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or
the Guarantor. If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(7) or 8.01(8) occurs, the unpaid
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities then outstanding shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Securityholder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of
the Series by notice to the Trustee may rescind such declaration or acceleration and its
consequences if all existing Events of Default have been
- 26 -
cured or waived (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because
of the acceleration) and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree.
The Company and the Guarantor (i) agree, promptly after execution of this Indenture, to notify
the Trustee in writing of the Person or Persons referred to in the first sentence of this Section
8.02 and (ii) agree, promptly after any change thereof, to so notify the Trustee. Any failure by
the Trustee or holders of Securities to give an Acceleration Notice to such Person or Persons will
not affect the substance or validity of the Acceleration Notice provided that it is otherwise given
in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 8.02.
Section 8.03
Other Remedies

provisions of the Securities or this Indenture and applicable to the Series.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair
the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy

law.
Section 8.04
Waiver of Past Defaults
. Subject to Section 12.02, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of a Series by notice to the Trustee may waive on
behalf of all Holders of Securities of the Series an existing Default and its consequences. When a
Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 8.05
Control by Majority
. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Securities of a Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect

this Indenture, that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that would
involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 8.06
Limitation on Suits

respect to this Indenture or the Series unless:

written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense;
- 27 -
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request
and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.
A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder
or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder.
Section 8.07
Rights of Holders To Receive Payment
. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal
of and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or
to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
Section 8.08
Collection Suit by Trustee
. If an Event of Default in payment of
interest or principal specified in Section 8.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company, the
Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and interest
remaining unpaid.
Section 8.09
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim
. The Trustee may file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities, including the Guarantor), its creditors or its property.

8, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.07;
Second: to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company as required by Article 6 and to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor as required by Article 7;
Third: to Securityholders of the Series for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for
principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Series for principal and interest, respectively; and
Fourth: to the Company, or its designee.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders.
Section 8.11
Undertaking for Costs
. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including attorneys fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the
- 28 -
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 8.07, or a suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the Series.

capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent,

Sections 9.10 and 9.11.

and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder notice of the
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal or

ARTICLE 10
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
Section 10.01
Applicability of Article
. Securities of any Series which are
convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Holder shall be convertible in accordance with
their terms and unless the Authorizing Resolution provides otherwise, in accordance with this
Article. Each reference in this Article 10 to a Security or the Securities refers to the
Securities of the particular Series that is convertible into Common Stock. If more than one Series
of Securities with conversion privileges are outstanding at any time, the provisions of this
Article 10 shall be applied separately to each such Series.
Section 10.02
Conversion Privilege
. Subject to and upon compliance with the
provisions of this Article 10, the Holder of any Security so designated shall have the right, at
its, his or her option, at any time prior to the close of business on the date specified in the
Securities of such Series (or if such Security or portion thereof is called for redemption prior to
such date, then in respect of such Security or portion thereof to and including but not after the
close of business on the second day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next
following Business Day) preceding the date fixed for such redemption) to convert the principal
amount of any such
- 32 -
Security, or any portion of such principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Guarantors Common Stock
(calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the
principal amount of the Security or portion thereof to be converted by the Conversion Price and by
surrender of the Security so to be converted in whole or in part, such surrender to be made in the
manner provided in Section 10.03. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Company shall fail
to redeem a Security which has been called for redemption, the Holder of such Security shall retain
the right to convert such Security as provided in this Article 10.
Section 10.03
Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege
. In order to exercise a
conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted in whole or in part shall
surrender such Security at any of the offices or agencies to be maintained for such purpose by the
Company pursuant to Section 2.03, and shall give notice to the Company and the Guarantor in the
form provided in the Security, duly executed, at such office or agency that the Holder elects to
convert such Security or the portion thereof specified in said notice. Such notice shall also
state the name or names, together with the address or addresses, in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued.
Each Security surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be
issued in the same name as the name in which such Security is registered, be accompanied by
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Guarantor, duly executed by the Holder or its,
his or her duly authorized attorney. Securities so surrendered during the period from the close of
business on a Record Date, or the next preceding Business Day if such Record Date is not a Business
Day, preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date
(excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during such period) shall also be
accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to the Guarantor of an amount
equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such
Security then being converted; provided, however, that, if the Company shall default on the payment
of said interest, said funds shall be returnable to the payor thereof. As promptly as practicable
after the surrender of such Security, as aforesaid, the Guarantor shall issue and shall deliver at
such office or agency to such Holder, or on its, his or her written order, a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such
Security or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 and any fractional
interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as
provided in Section 10.04. In case any Security of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be
surrendered for partial conversion, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder of the Security so surrendered,
at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities and Guarantee or Guarantees in
authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the
surrendered Security. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to
the close of business on the date on which such Security shall have been surrendered and such
notice received by the Company and the Guarantor as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose
name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon
such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares
represented thereby at such time and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at
such time, unless the stock transfer books of the Guarantor shall be closed on that date, in which
event such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the
close of business on the next
- 33 -
succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at
the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such Security shall have been surrendered and
such notice received by the Company and the Guarantor. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for a
payment in the event of conversion after the close of business on a Record Date preceding an
Interest Payment Date, no payment or adjustment shall be made on conversion for interest accrued on
the Securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the Common Stock delivered on such
conversion.
Section 10.04
Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares
. No fractional shares of Common
Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Securities. Instead of any fractional interest in a
share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any Security or
Securities, the Company and/or the Guarantor shall make an adjustment therefor to the nearest
1/100th of a share in cash at the Current Market Price thereof at the close of business on the
Business Day next preceding the day of conversion. If more than one Security shall be surrendered
for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares issuable upon conversion
thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, or
specified portions thereof to be converted, so surrendered.
Section 10.05
Adjustment of Conversion Price
. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted
from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock
of the Guarantor, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted
so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Guarantor which he would
have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior
thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more
classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Guarantor, the
Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement
filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) shall determine in an equitable manner the
allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital
Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock.
(b) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter issue rights or warrants to holders of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock generally entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days
after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date
mentioned below, the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted so that the
same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in
- 34 -
effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of
issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of
the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
(c) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter distribute to holders of its outstanding Common
Stock generally evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend paid from
retained earnings of the Guarantor and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which
adjustment is made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.05) or rights or warrants to
subscribe to securities of the Guarantor (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) of this
Section 10.05), then in each such case the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be
adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below
less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall
be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar)
of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share
of Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock,
and of which the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) In any case in which this Section 10.05 shall require that an adjustment be made
immediately following a record date, the Guarantor may elect to defer (but only until five Business
Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee and the Registrar of the certificate of
independent public accountants described in subsection (f) of this Section 10.05) issuing to the
Holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the
basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment.
(e) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this subsection (e) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided further that adjustment
shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 (other than this
subsection (e)), not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free
nature of a distribution to the holders of Securities or Common Stock. All calculations under this
Section 10.05 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case
may be. Anything in this Section 10.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Guarantor shall be
entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this
Section 10.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock
dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or
- 35 -
securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter
made by the Guarantor to its shareholders shall not be taxable.
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Company and the
Guarantor shall promptly file with the Trustee and the Registrar a certificate of a firm of
independent public accountants setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the
same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment and (ii)
a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Price shall forthwith be given by the Company and the Guarantor to the Holders in the
manner provided in Section 13.02. Subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), the Trustee and any
conversion agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or
the certificate provided for in Section 10.10 except to exhibit the same from time to time to any
Holder of a Security desiring an inspection of such certificate.
(g) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a)
of this Section 10.05, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall
become entitled to receive any shares of the Guarantor other than shares of Common Stock,
thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article 10.
Section 10.06
Notice of Certain Corporate Action
. In the event:
(a) the Guarantor shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion
Price pursuant to Section 10.05(c); or
(b) the Guarantor shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock (as a class)
of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other
rights; or
(c) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other
than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in the
par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Guarantor is a party or
any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Guarantor is required, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Guarantor; or
(d) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Guarantor; then the Company and the Guarantor shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the
Registrar, and shall cause to be given to the Holders, in the manner provided in Section 13.02, at
least 14 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution or rights, or, if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
distribution or rights are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
- 36 -
winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in subsection
(a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 10.06.
Section 10.07
Guarantor to Provide Stock
. The Guarantor covenants that it will at all
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common Stock held in its
treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversions of Securities, the full number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities not
theretofore converted. For purposes of this Section 10.07, the number of shares of Common Stock
which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities shall be computed as
if at the time of computation all outstanding Securities were held by a single Holder.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below
the then par value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversions of the
Securities, the Guarantor will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel,
be necessary in order that the Guarantor may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
The Guarantor will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon
conversion of Securities prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange, if any,
upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery.
Prior to the delivery of any securities which the Guarantor shall be obligated to deliver upon
conversion of the Securities, the Guarantor will endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws
and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of
or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
Section 10.08
Taxes on Conversions
. The Company and/or the Guarantor will pay any and
all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversions of Securities pursuant hereto; provided, however,
that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other
than that of the Holder of the Securities to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be
made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company and/or
the Guarantor the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company and
the Guarantor, that such tax has been paid.
Section 10.09
Covenant as to Stock
. The Guarantor covenants that all shares of Common
Stock which may be delivered upon conversions of Securities will upon delivery be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any
preemptive rights.
- 37 -
Section 10.10
Consolidation or Merger
. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to
the contrary, in case of any consolidation or merger to which the Guarantor is a party other than a
merger or consolidation in which the Guarantor is the continuing corporation, or in case of any
sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another
corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation
into the Guarantor), there shall be no adjustments under Section 10.05 but the Holder of each
Security then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Security into the kind
and amount of securities, cash or other property which he would have owned or have been entitled to
receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had
such Security been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 10 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holders of the Securities, to the end that the provisions
set forth in this Article 10 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may
reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter
deliverable on the conversion of the Securities. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set
forth in a supplemental indenture executed by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee and
approved by a firm of independent public accountants, evidenced by a certificate to that effect;
and any adjustment so approved shall for all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an
appropriate adjustment.
The above provisions of this Section 10.10 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.
The Company shall give notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture to the Holders
of Securities in the manner provided in Section 13.02 within 30 days after the execution thereof.
The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares
of stock or securities or property receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities
after any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance, or to any adjustment
to be made with respect thereto.
Section 10.11
Disclaimer of Responsibility for Certain Matters
. Neither the Trustee
nor the Registrar shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities
to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or
with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the
method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the
same. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be accountable with respect to the listing or
registration referred to in Section 10.07 or the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any
shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or
delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and neither the Trustee nor the Registrar makes any
representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible
for any failure of the Guarantor to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock
certificates or other securities or property or to make any cash payment upon the
- 38 -
surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or, subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c)
and (d), to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article 10.
ARTICLE 11
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 11.01
Termination of the Companys and the Guarantors Obligations
.
Securities of a Series may be defeased in accordance with their terms and, unless the Authorizing
Resolution provides otherwise, in accordance with this Article.
The Company may terminate all of its obligations under the Securities of a Series and this
Indenture, to the extent its obligations under this Indenture relate to that Series, and the
obligations of the Guarantor shall terminate if all Securities of a Series previously authenticated
and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Securities which have been replaced or paid)
have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or if:
(1) the Securities mature within one year or all of them are to be called for redemption
within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption;
and
(2) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money sufficient to pay
principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may
be. The Company may make the deposit only if Article 6 permits it. Immediately after making the
deposit, the Company shall give notice of such event and proposed date of payment to each
Securityholder.
The Companys obligations and, to the extent applicable, the Guarantors obligations, in
Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 9.07, 9.08 and 11.03 and Article 10, however, shall
survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, the Companys obligations and,
to the extent applicable, the Guarantors obligations, in Sections 9.07 and 11.03 shall survive.
After a deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the
Companys obligations under the Securities, the Guarantors obligations under the Guarantee and
their obligations under the Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.
Section 11.02

Securities.
Section 11.03
Repayment to Company
. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly
pay to the Company upon request any excess money held by them at any time. The Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of
principal or interest (including interest, if any, earned on such money) that remains unclaimed for
two years; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of
general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each
- 39 -
Holder notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company,
Securityholders entitled to any of such money must look to the Company or, if applicable, the
Guarantor for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates
another person and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall
thereupon cease.

Section 12.06
Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc
. The Trustee shall sign any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver
