We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information.

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 detached and attached homes in luxury residential communities. We operate our own land development, architectural, engineering, mortgage, title, landscaping, security monitoring, lumber distribution, house component assembly, and manufacturing operations. We also develop, own and operate golf courses and country clubs associated with several of our master planned communities. We cater to move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, age-qualified and second-home buyers. At October 31, 2011 we operated in 19 states of the United States. In the five years ended October 31, 2011, we delivered 20,072 homes from 530 communities, including 2,611 homes from 247 communities in fiscal 2011. Included in the five-year deliveries are 424 units that were delivered from three communities where we used the percentage of completion accounting method to recognize revenues and cost of revenues. Currently, we do not use percentage of completion accounting.

We have investments in a number of joint ventures to develop land for the sole use of the venture participants, including ourselves, and to develop land for sale to the joint venture participants and to unrelated builders. We are a participant in joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop luxury condominium projects, including for-sale residential units and commercial space, and to develop a single master planned community. In addition, we formed Toll Brothers Realty Trust and Toll Brothers Realty Trust II to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. In fiscal 2010, we formed Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management to invest in distressed real estate opportunities which may be different than our traditional homebuilding operations.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we have filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement. For further information about us, you should refer to the registration statement. The information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus summarizes material provisions of contracts and other documents to which we refer you. Since the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may not contain all of the information that you may find important, you should review the full text of the documents to which we refer you. We have filed these documents as exhibits to our registration statement.

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In accordance with those requirements, we file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at the following location:

100 F Street, N.E.

Washington, D.C. 20549

You may obtain information on the operation of the SEC’s public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Our SEC filings are also available to the public from the SEC’s Internet website at http://www.sec.gov. We also make available free of charge on our website, at http://www.tollbrothers.com, all materials that we file electronically with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. In addition, our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and similar information concerning us can be inspected and copied at the NYSE, 11 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” into this prospectus the information we file with it. This means that we are permitted to disclose important information to you by referring you to other documents we have filed with the SEC. We incorporate by reference in two ways. First, we list certain documents that we have filed with the SEC. The information in these documents is considered part of this prospectus. Second, we expect to file additional documents with the SEC in the future that will, when filed, update the current information included in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should consider any statement contained in this prospectus or in a document which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus to be modified or superseded to the extent that the statement is modified or superseded by another statement contained in a later dated document that constitutes a part of this prospectus or is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should consider any statement which is so modified or superseded to be a part of this prospectus only as so modified or superseded.

We incorporate by reference in this prospectus all the documents listed below and any filings we make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this prospectus (excluding, in each case, any portion of such documents that may have been “furnished” but not “filed” for purposes of the Exchange Act):

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table shows our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated:

(a) For the twelve-month periods ended October 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, and the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, our earnings were not sufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $125.2 million, $517.8 million, $493.8 million, $72.8 million and $119.7 million, respectively.

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 October 31, 2011, our authorized capital stock consisted of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share.

Common Stock

Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of our preferred stock, of which there were none as of October 31, 2011, 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.

On March 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment includes an amendment approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting which restricts certain transfers of the Company’s common stock in order to preserve the tax treatment of the Company’s net operating and unrealized tax losses. The Certificate of Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer of the Company’s common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any Person (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment) from less than 4.95% to 4.95% or more of the Company’s common stock, or increase the ownership percentage of a Person owning or deemed to own 4.95% or more of the Company’s common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.

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 Law—Classified 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

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:

 

   

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.

Table of Contents

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 apply 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.

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.

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 15,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. 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. Prior to March 17, 2011, under our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors were divided into three classes of directors serving staggered terms of three years each. Each class was to be as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected each year. On March 17, 2011, our Certificate of Incorporation was amended to provide for the annual election of directors commencing with the election of the class of directors whose current term is set to expire at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, continuing with the election of the class of directors whose current term is set to expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and culminating with the election of the entire Board of Directors for the first time at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

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.

Provisions of Rights Plan. As discussed under “Description of Capital Stock—Common 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.

Table of Contents

We have summarized below the general terms and provisions that will apply to any warrants that may be offered, except as otherwise described by the prospectus supplement.

If any of the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus do not apply to the particular series of warrants being offered the prospectus supplement will so indicate and will describe any alternative provisions that are applicable. The following summary of various provisions of the warrants, the warrant agreements and the warrant certificates is not complete. You should read all of the provisions of the applicable warrant agreement and warrant certificate, including the definitions contained in those documents of various terms, for additional important information concerning any series of warrants offered by this prospectus.

Common Stock Warrants

Common stock warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new common stock warrant certificates of different denominations. In addition, common stock warrants may be exercised at 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 date stated in the prospectus supplement. Afterwards, unexercised common stock warrants will become void.

Common stock warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the prospectus supplement. 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.

Preferred Stock Warrants

any other material terms of the preferred stock warrants.

Preferred stock warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new preferred stock warrant certificates of different denominations. In addition, preferred stock warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus 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 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. Each preferred stock warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash the number of shares of our preferred stock at the exercise price described or explained in the prospectus supplement. Preferred 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 date stated in the prospectus supplement. Afterwards, unexercised preferred stock warrants will become void.

Preferred stock warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the prospectus supplement. When we receive payment and the properly completed and duly executed preferred 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 preferred stock purchased upon exercise of the preferred stock warrants. If less than all of the preferred stock warrants represented by the preferred stock warrant certificate are exercised, we will issue a new preferred stock warrant certificate for the amount of preferred stock warrants that remain exercisable.

the date on which the right to exercise the debt warrants will begin and the date on which the right will expire;

 

   

a discussion of the material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the exercise of the debt warrants;

 

   

whether the debt warrants represented by the debt warrant certificates will be issued in registered or bearer form, and, if registered, where they may be transferred and registered;

 

   

call provisions, if any, of the debt warrants; and

 

   

any other material terms of the debt warrants.

Debt warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new debt warrant certificates of different denominations. In addition, debt warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. A holder of a debt warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of the debt securities which may be purchased by the exercise of the debt warrant before the debt securities are purchased by the exercise of the debt warrant. Accordingly, before a debt warrant is exercised, the holder will not be entitled to 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.

Exercise of Debt Warrants. Each debt warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash the principal amount of debt securities described in the prospectus supplement at the exercise price described or explained in the

prospectus supplement. Debt 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 date stated in the prospectus supplement. Afterwards, unexercised debt warrants will become void.

Debt warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the prospectus supplement. When we receive payment and the properly completed and duly executed debt 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 the debt securities purchased upon the exercise of the debt warrants. If less than all of the debt warrants represented by the debt warrant certificate are exercised, we will issue a new debt warrant certificate for the amount of debt warrants that remain exercisable.

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.

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;

 

16


Table of Contents
   

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;

 

   

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;

 

   

the right or obligation, if any, of the issuer to redeem or purchase debt securities under any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of debt securities, or otherwise, the conditions, if any, giving rise to the right or obligation and the period or periods within which, and the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which, debt securities will be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, and any provisions for the marketing of the debt securities;

 

   

if the amount of payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, is to be determined by reference to an index, formula or other method, the manner in which these amounts are to be determined and the calculation agent, if any, with respect to the payments;

 

   

if other than the principal amount of the debt securities, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities which will be payable upon declaration or acceleration of the stated maturity of the debt securities pursuant to an “Event of Default,” as defined in the applicable indenture;

 

   

whether the debt securities will be issued in registered or bearer form and the terms of these forms;

 

   

whether the debt securities will be issued in certificated or book-entry form and, if applicable, the identity of the depositary;

 

   

any provision for electronic issuance or issuances in uncertificated form;

 

   

any listing of the debt securities on a securities exchange;

 

   

any events of default or covenants in addition to or in place of those described in this prospectus;

 

   

the terms, if any, on which the debt securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for other debt or equity securities, including without limitation the conversion price, the conversion period and any other provisions in addition to or in place of those included in this prospectus;

 

   

the collateral, if any, securing payments with respect to the debt securities and any provisions relating to the collateral;

 

   

whether and upon what terms the debt securities may be defeased; and

 

   

any other material terms of that series of debt securities.

Guarantees 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.

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 subsidiary’s 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 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.

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 $2,000 or 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;

 

18


Table of Contents
   

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 stock’s 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

 

   

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, any transfer or exchange shall be without charge, except that the issuer of each series of debt securities may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed or expenses incurred in connection with the transfer or exchange of such series of debt securities.

 

19


Table of Contents

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, unless applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

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

 

   

global security for interests of the participants, and on the records of the participants for interests of persons holding through the participants.

 

20


Table of Contents

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 depositary’s 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

 

21


Table of Contents

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), 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 issuer’s 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;

 

   

any default under an instrument evidencing or securing any of the issuer’s indebtedness or the indebtedness of any Guarantor aggregating $10,000,000 or 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; 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 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., any Significant Subsidiary 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

 

22


Table of Contents

issuer of that series of debt securities and Toll Brothers, Inc., or to the issuer of that series of debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc. and the Trustee, as applicable, 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., any Significant Subsidiary 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 and its consequences (except an acceleration due to nonpayment of principal or interest on the debt securities of such series), provided that, among other things, all Events of Default with respect to the particular series 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 a past 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 each be required to file annually with the trustee under the indenture a certificate, signed by an officer of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer, as applicable, 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 at the request of holders, 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 holder’s request within 60 days after receipt of the written request and offer of indemnity; and

 

23


Table of Contents
   

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 or supplement 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;

 

   

modify the subordination or guarantee provisions in a manner adverse to holders of any series of debt securities;

 

   

make the medium or place of payment other than that stated in the debt securities;

Table of Contents
   

impair the right to bring suit for the enforcement of any of these payments; and

 

   

modify the provisions regarding modifications to the indenture or waivers of a past Default or Events of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities that will be effectively 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, with a copy to the Trustee, 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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 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 right or obligation, if any, of the issuer to redeem or purchase debt securities under any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of debt securities, or otherwise, the conditions, if any, giving rise to the right or obligation and the period or periods within which, and the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which, debt securities will be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, and any provisions for the marketing of the 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 subsidiary’s 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 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.

 

28


Table of Contents

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 stock’s 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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:

 

   

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

 

30


Table of Contents
 

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 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

 

31


Table of Contents

interests in the principal amount of the registered global security as shown on the depositary’s 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 issuer’s 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;

 

   

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;

 

32


Table of Contents
   

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 issuer’s 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 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.

 

33


Table of Contents

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 holder’s 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

 

34


Table of Contents
 

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.

Governing Law

The indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Table of Contents

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 management’s 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

 

36


Table of Contents

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

 

37


Table of Contents

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.

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.

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 corporation—a “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 corporation’s 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 proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company is

 

II-1


Table of Contents

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 attorney’s 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 Director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the 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. We have also entered into individual indemnification agreements with each of our directors.

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-3


Table of Contents

(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.

(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.

 

II-4


Table of Contents

(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 registrant’s 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 plan’s 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, 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.

Each Security shall have an executed Guarantee from each of the Guarantors.

The terms and provisions contained in the Securities, annexed hereto as Exhibit A, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

(c) Global Securities. The Securities offered and sold pursuant to this Indenture shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities (“Global Securities”) in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at the Trustee’s office in New York City, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Company (and having an executed Guarantee in the manner set forth in Section 9.07) and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.15.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. The Issuer’s seal shall be reproduced on the Securities. Each of the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantee in the manner set forth in Section 9.07.

The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue upon a written order of the Issuer signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Issuer. 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 given, and (subject to the TIA) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

(a) a copy of the Authorizing Resolution in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Securities were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Securities are established by an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to general authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers’ Certificate;

(d) 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 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange or, if applicable, for conversion (“Registrar”), and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. Such office may be the same office as the Issuer’s office referred to in Section 12.02. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and 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 Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such 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

 

- 10 -


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.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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 notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer 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 2.05 Holder 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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer 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 Holders.

Section 2.06 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 the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code 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 Registrar’s 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. 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

 

- 11 -


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 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

 

- 12 -


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 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.

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

 

- 13 -


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 Exchange Act, 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.

(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.

 

- 14 -


(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 successor’s nominee.

(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.

 

- 21 -


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 this Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer and the Company or the Holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series then outstanding by notice to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of 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 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.

 

- 22 -


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;

(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 such 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 to the contrary, 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 such 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 such 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:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

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 and expenses, 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.

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or of any prospectus or offering memorandum used to sell the Securities; it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; it shall not be accountable for any money paid to the Issuer, or upon the Issuer’s direction, if made under and in accordance with any provision of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within 60 days after each April 15 beginning with the April 15 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such April 15 that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a)(2) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b) and §313(c).

 

- 27 -


A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be delivered to the Issuer and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed. The Issuer and the Company agree to notify the Trustee of each national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed or delisted.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 7.08 Money Held in Trust.

The Issuer and the Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s, or its officers’ or directors’, employees’ negligence or bad faith.

To ensure the payment of obligations by the Issuer and the Company pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 or in connection with Article Six hereof, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for services in connection therewith are to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Section 8.01 Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations.

(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 Issuer’s 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.

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.

 

- 30 -


(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:

(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;

(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

 

- 31 -


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.

(e) In addition to the Issuer’s 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:

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 Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s 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 Issuer’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.

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

 

- 33 -


“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 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,

 

- 34 -


(2) the Guarantor being released has Consolidated Net Worth of less than 5% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the Company’s 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 Company’s Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, (4) such release would not have a material adverse effect on the homebuilding business of the 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 Officer’s 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 Guarantor’s 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 Issuer’s obligations with respect to any Securities or any other Guarantor’s 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

 

- 35 -


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 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 Guarantor’s 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

 

- 36 -


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 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.

ARTICLE TEN

Section 10.02 With Consent of Holders.

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 the right to institute suit for payment of the Securities;

(2) reduce the percentage of Securities, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, for any waiver of compliance with Sections 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 10.02, a past Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security and their consequences provided in this Indenture, or any other covenant or provision;

(3) modify any of the provisions regarding the modification of this Indenture, waivers of a past Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security or waivers of Sections 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 10.02, except to increase any percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby;

- 38 -


(5) modify the ranking or priority of the Securities of any Series or the Guarantee thereof in a manner adverse to the Holders of such Securities; or

(6) make any Security payable at a place or in money other than that stated in the Security.

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 Holders of a Series of 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 Holder’s 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

 

- 39 -


consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s 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.

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 any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be given 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

 

- 40 -


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 $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s 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 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 $2,000 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

 

- 41 -


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 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

 

- 42 -


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 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

 

- 43 -


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 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, 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

 

- 45 -


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.

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

 

- 46 -


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 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.

[Title of Security], Series A

 

1. Interest.

[                    ] (the “Issuer”), a [            ] corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on                     and                     of each year, commencing on                     , until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from             , 20    , provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest and if this Security is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 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] (capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to those terms in the Indenture). Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, [                    ] (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice. Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”) or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

 

4. Indenture.

The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of [        ] (“Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Company, the other Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities and the Guarantee include those stated in the Indenture (including those terms set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental 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 Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.

The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and the applicable Authorizing Resolutions or supplemental indenture. Requests may be made to: [                    ], Attention: [                    ].

Optional Redemption. 2

The Issuer may redeem the Securities at any time on or after                     ,             , in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of their principal amount) together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption:

If redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on             and ending on             in each of the following years Percentage

[Insert provisions relating to redemption at option of Holders, if any]

If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed, if the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the rules of 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 $2,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. 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 the payment of such Securities at the redemption price together with accrued interest, interest shall continue to accrue at the rate borne by the Securities.

 

6.

Mandatory Redemption. 3

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 Issuer’s 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.

 

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

 

 

2  

If applicable.

3  

If applicable.

 

4


The Securities are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of $2,000 4 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities by presentation of such Securities to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations. The Registrar may 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.

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee 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.

 

10. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal 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 Issuer may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities to cure any 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 Guarantor, to add covenants of the Issuer or of the Guarantors under Article Four of the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights or powers conferred upon the Issuer or the Guarantors by the Indenture, to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders, to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture, (provided such change or elimination shall become effective only when none of the Securities are outstanding), to add Guarantors, to provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture by more than one Trustee, to close the Indenture as to authentication and delivery of additional Securities, to supplement Indenture provisions to permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge of the Securities, (provided such action does not adversely affect the 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, other than the Company, which, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, ceases to be liable in

respect of the Guarantee, or to make any other change, (provided such action does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder).

 

11. Trustee Dealings With Company.

[                    ], the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

 

12. No Recourse Against Others.

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.

 

14. Authentication.

This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

 

15. Abbreviations.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

[FORM OF NOTATION ON SECURITY RELATING TO GUARANTEE]

GUARANTEE

The Guarantors listed on Schedule I, attached hereto (the “Guarantors”), have unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior basis (such guarantee by each Guarantor being referred to herein as the “Guarantee”) (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal and interest, if any, on the Securities, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms set forth in Article Nine of the Indenture 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 will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Each holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Guarantee. Each holder of a Security by accepting a Security agrees that any Guarantor other than Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”) shall have no further liability with respect to its Guarantee if such Guarantor

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

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We also have assumed that at the time of execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the applicable Securities, Indenture and Warrant Agreement: (a) each of the Company, the Debt Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors (each, a “Securities Party”), as applicable, will be validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized; (b) the issuance of the Stock and the execution, delivery and performance of the applicable Debt Securities, Indenture, Warrants and Warrant Agreements by each Securities Party, as applicable, will not violate the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership, by-laws, limited liability company agreement and partnership agreement, as the case may be, of such Securities Party or the law of the jurisdiction in which such Securities Party is organized or any

other applicable laws; (c) in the case of Debt Securities, the applicable Indenture (i) will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the applicable Debt Issuer and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the trustee thereunder; and (d) in the case of Securities Warrants, the applicable Warrant Agreement (i) will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company or the applicable Debt Issuer and (ii) will be the valid and legally binding obligation of each Counterparty thereto.

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

1. With respect to the Common Stock, assuming (a) the taking by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a duly constituted and acting committee of such Board of Directors (such Board of Directors or committee, the “Company Board”)) of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance of the Common Stock and (b) due issuance and delivery of the Common Stock, upon payment of the consideration therefor in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Company Board, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2. With respect to the Preferred Stock, assuming (a) the taking by the Company Board of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance of the Preferred Stock, (b) due filing of the applicable certificate of designations and (c) due issuance and delivery of the Preferred Stock, upon payment of the consideration therefor in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Company Board, the Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3. With respect to the Debt Securities, assuming (a) the taking of all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of any Debt Securities, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters by the Board of Directors of the applicable Debt Issuer, a duly constituted and acting committee of such Board of Directors or duly authorized officers of such Debt Issuer (such Board of Directors, committee or authorized officers being referred to herein as the “Debt Issuer Board”) and (b) the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of such Debt Securities, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the applicable Debt Issuer Board and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture and such agreement, such Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Debt Issuer enforceable against such Debt Issuer in accordance with their terms.

4. With respect to the Guarantees, assuming (a) the taking of all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of the Guarantees and related matters by the Board of Directors (or a duly constituted and acting committee thereof), managing member, or general partner, as applicable of each Guarantor, or duly authorized officers of each Guarantor (such Board of Directors (or committee thereof), managing member or general partner, as applicable, or authorized officer being referred to as a “Guarantor Authorized Party”), (b) the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Debt Securities underlying such Guarantees, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the applicable Guarantor Authorizing Party and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture and such agreement and (c) the due issuance of such Guarantees, such Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors issuing such Guarantees, enforceable against such Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

5. With respect to the Securities Warrants, assuming (a) the taking of all necessary corporate action by the Company Board, in the case of Securities Warrants to purchase Stock, or the applicable Debt Issuer Board, in the case of Securities Warrants to purchase Debt Securities, to approve the execution and delivery of the applicable Warrant Agreement and (b) the due execution, countersignature, issuance and delivery of such Securities Warrants, upon payment of the consideration for such Securities Warrants provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Company Board or the applicable Debt Issuer Board, as the case may be, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Warrant Agreement and such agreement, such Securities Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company or such Debt Issuer, as applicable, enforceable against the Company or such Debt Issuer in accordance with their terms.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 above are subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act .
