AUTHORIZING RESOLUTIONS

          These Authorizing Resolutions relate to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.910% Senior Notes due 2017 to be issued in accordance with the indenture dated as April 20, 2009 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”) among Toll Brothers Finance Corp. (the “Issuer”), Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”) and the other Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein but used below shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

          PARAGRAPH 1. The title of the senior notes (the “Notes”) shall be “8.910% Senior Notes due 2017” (the “Notes”).

          PARAGRAPH 2. The aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes which shall be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, shall be $400,000,000 (except for any Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of the transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture); provided, however, that the Notes may be reopened for issuances of an unlimited amount of additional Notes at any time in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without interest coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

          PARAGRAPH 3. The principal amount of the Notes is due and payable in full on October 15, 2017, subject to earlier redemption as referred to in the Indenture.

          PARAGRAPH 4. Interest on the Notes shall accrue at a rate of 8.910% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), from April 20, 2009 to maturity or early redemption; and interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2009, to the Holders in whose names such Notes are registered at the close of business on April 1 and October 1, as the case may be, preceding such interest payment date

          PARAGRAPH 5. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, providing notice pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on the Notes being redeemed on the redemption 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 accrue interest on the Notes to the date of redemption. In determining the redemption price and accrued 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 interest on the Notes 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 Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.

          As used in this Paragraph 5, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated “Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities” or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such price on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or one of the other underwriters listed on Schedule I hereto (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers (as defined below)), and any successor; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Issuer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof to be redeemed and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption;

provided, however, that if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

          PARAGRAPH 6. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above, the Issuer will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in amounts of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of repurchased Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased Notes to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations under the Exchange Act to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions herein, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions herein by virtue of such conflict.

     On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

	•		accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Issuer’s offer;
	•		deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
	•		deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

     The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered Notes the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

“Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Stock (defined below), measured by voting power rather than number of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investor Services, Inc.

be extended or, if earlier, until the earliest date on which the lessee may terminate such lease upon payment of a penalty (in which case the obligation of the lessee for rental payments shall include such penalty), after excluding all amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water and utility rates and similar charges.
