THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, as Trustee, certifies that this is one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

1.  Interest.

TOLL BROTHERS FINANCE CORP. (the “Issuer”), a Delaware 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 February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2018, 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 January 22, 2018, 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 February 1 or August 1, as the case may be, preceding such interest payment date (capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to those terms in the Indenture or the Authorizing Resolution pertaining to the Securities of the Series of which this Security is a part, as applicable). 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 Bank of New York Mellon (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 February 7, 2012 (the “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 (the “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 Resolution or supplemental indenture. Requests may be made to: Toll Brothers Finance Corp., c/o Toll Brothers, Inc., 250 Gibraltar Road, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

5.  Optional Redemption.

Prior to the Par Call Date, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Securities in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, by providing at least 30 but not more than 60 days’ prior notice thereof, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

●

100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed; and

●

the present value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Securities being redeemed on the redemption date (assuming, for this purpose, that the Securities are scheduled to mature on the Par Call Date, discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%).

The Issuer will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to the date of redemption.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Securities in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to the redemption date.

In determining the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to be redeemed is deposited with the Trustee on or before the redemption date, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption and such Securities (or such portions thereof) will cease to be outstanding.

Notice of any redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In the event that any relevant condition precedent is not satisfied (or waived by the Issuer) as of the date specified for redemption in any such notice of redemption (or amendment thereto), the Issuer may, in its discretion, rescind such notice or amend it on one or more occasions to specify another redemption date until the satisfaction (or waiver by the Issuer) of any such conditions precedent, unless such notice is earlier rescinded by the Issuer as described above.

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 and unpaid interest, interest shall continue to accrue at the rate borne by the Securities.

6.  Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

The Securities are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of $2,000 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.

7.  Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

8.  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.

9.  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

10.  Trustee Dealings with the Company.

The Bank of New York Mellon, 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.

The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to defeasance, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

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.  Authentication.
