Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
For information regarding provisions under which a director or officer of the Registrant may
be insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as
such, reference is made to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides in
its entirety as follows:
(a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right
of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the persons conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the persons conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such
person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith.
-2-
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is
proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a
person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of
the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a
quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even
though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by former directors
and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any,
as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the
other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such persons
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such persons status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this section, references to the corporation shall include, in addition
to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents,
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.
(i) For purposes of this section, references to other enterprises shall include employee
benefit plans; references to fines shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to serving at the request of the corporation
shall
-3-
include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an
employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation as referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine
all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of
Chancery may summarily determine a corporations obligation to advance expenses (including
attorneys fees).
See also Article Six of the Registrants Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Article
VII of the Registrants By-laws, as amended, pursuant to which the Registrant is granted the power
to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant.
See also Section 2 of the Toll Brothers, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan for Employees (2007) (the
Plan), filed as Exhibit 4 hereto, which provides that in addition to such other rights of
indemnification as he may have as a member of the Board of Directors or the Committee (as
hereinafter defined), and with respect to administration of the Plan and the granting of Options
and Awards under it, each member of the Board of Directors and of the Committee shall be entitled
without further act on his part to indemnity from the Registrant for all expenses reasonably
incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to
the administration of the Plan or the granting of options or awards under it in which he may be
involved by reason of his being or having been a member of the Board of Directors or the Committee.
Committee is defined in the Plan to mean a committee, composed of two or more members of the
Board of Directors, or the Board of Directors in its administrative capacity with respect to the
Plan.

Power of Attorney (included on signature page of this Registration Statement). |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act);
(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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective
registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect 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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
|
|
|
* |
|
Paragraphs correspond to Item 512 of Regulation S-K. |
-5-
(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.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
