The senior notes are the unsecured obligations of Toll Brothers Finance Corp., a 100%-owned subsidiary of the Company. The payment of principal and interest is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and a majority of its home building subsidiaries (together with Toll Brothers Finance Corp., the “Senior Note Parties”). The senior notes rank equally in right of payment with all the Senior Note Parties’ existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, including the Credit Facility. The senior notes are structurally subordinated to the prior claims of creditors, including trade creditors, of the subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors of the senior notes. The senior notes, other than the 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2032 (“0.5% Senior Notes”), are redeemable in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Company, at prices that vary based upon the then-current rates of interest and the remaining original term of the notes. The 0.5% Senior Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to September 15, 2017. In February 2012, the Company, through Toll Brothers Finance Corp., issued $300 million principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “5.875% Senior Notes”). The Company received $296.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes. In March 2012, the Company, through Toll Brothers Finance Corp., issued an additional $119.9 million principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes in exchange for $80.7 million principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and $36.9 million principal amount of its 5.95% Senior Notes due 2013. The Company recognized a charge of $1.2 million in fiscal 2012 representing the aggregate costs associated with the exchange of both series of notes; these expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In September 2012, the Company, through Toll Brothers Finance Corp., issued $287.5 million principal amount of 0.5% Senior Notes. The Company received $282.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 0.5% Senior Notes. The 0.5% Senior Notes are exchangeable into shares of the Company's common stock at an exchange rate of 20.3749 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, corresponding to an initial exchange price of approximately $49.08 per share of the Company's common stock. If all of the 0.5% Senior Notes are exchanged, the Company would issue approximately 5.9 million shares of its common stock. Shares issuable upon conversion of the 0.5% Senior Notes are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share (See Note 11, "Income (Loss) Per Share Information" for more information regarding the number of shares included). Holders of the 0.5% Senior Notes will have the right to require Toll Brothers Finance Corp. to repurchase their notes for cash equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, on each of December 15, 2017, September 15, 2022 and September 15, 2027. Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will have the right to redeem the 0.5% Senior Notes on or after September 15, 2017 for cash equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest.

In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $3.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of expenses related to the retirement of these notes. Expenses related to the retirement of notes include, if any, premium paid, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and other debt redemption costs. In November 2012, the Company repaid the $59.1 million of outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due November 15, 2012. Senior Subordinated Notes The senior subordinated notes were the unsecured obligations of Toll Corp., a 100%-owned subsidiary of the Company were guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by the Company, were subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and were structurally subordinated to the prior claims of creditors, including trade creditors, of the Company’s subsidiaries other than Toll Corp. The indentures governing these notes restricted certain payments by the Company, including cash dividends and repurchases of Company stock. The Company redeemed $47.9 million of its 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 2011 in fiscal 2010 and recognized $34,000 of expenses related to the retirement of the notes. Mortgage Company Loan Facilities TBI Mortgage Company (“TBI Mortgage”), the Company’s wholly-owned mortgage subsidiary, has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Comerica Bank. The purpose of the Repurchase Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage and it is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860. The Repurchase Agreement, as amended, provides for loan purchases up to $50 million, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Repurchase Agreement provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Repurchase Agreement be increased to an amount up to $75 million for a short period of time. The Repurchase Agreement, as amended, expires on July 23, 2013 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, with a minimum rate of 3.00%. Borrowings under this facility are included in the fiscal 2013 maturities. At October 31, 2012 and 2011, there were $72.7 million and $57.4 million, respectively, outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement, which are included in liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At October 31, 2012 and 2011, amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement were collateralized by $86.4 million and $63.2 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale, which are included in assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of October 31, 2012, there were no aggregate outstanding purchase price limitations reducing the amount available to TBI Mortgage. There are several restrictions on purchased loans under the Repurchase Agreement, including that they cannot be sold to others, they cannot be pledged to anyone other than the agent and they cannot support any other borrowing or repurchase agreement.
