Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 11, 2009, the Board of Directors of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the "Company")
met and approved the execution of a standard form of indemnification agreement
with the Company's directors and named executive officers. Following the Board
of Directors meeting, the Company entered into the indemnification agreements
with each of its current directors and named executive officers (each, an
"Indemnitee"). The Company's current directors are Bruce E. Toll, Robert S.
Blank, Edward G. Boehne, Richard J. Braemer, Roger S. Hillas, Carl B. Marbach,
Stephen A. Novick and Paul E. Shapiro, and the Company's current named executive
officers are Robert I. Toll, Zvi Barzilay and Joel H. Rassman (each of whom is
also a director). The summary description below of the form of indemnification
agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of agreement
that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by
reference.
The indemnification agreement provides for indemnification, consistent with the
terms of the indemnification agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law for expenses, attorneys' fees, judgments and certain other amounts
an Indemnitee may be required to pay with respect to claims asserted against him
by reason of his position as a director or officer of the Company. The
indemnification agreement also requires the Company to make advancement of
certain amounts associated with such claims, subject to reimbursement if the
Indemnitee is ultimately determined to not be entitled to indemnification under
applicable law. The Company is also required to indemnify, and advance expenses
to, an Indemnitee in connection with non-frivolous suits brought by an
Indemnitee against the Company to enforce his rights under the indemnification
agreement or against an insurance carrier to enforce coverage under certain
insurance policies obtained for the benefit of the Company's officers and
directors.
