TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS

Organization and Description of the Business — Taylor Morrison Home Corporation “TMHC” through its subsidiaries (together with TMHC referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “the Company” and “us”), owns and operates a residential homebuilding business and is a developer of lifestyle communities. As of September 30, 2019, we operated in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North and South Carolina, and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury, and active adult. Our homebuilding segments operate under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West, and Financial Services. The communities in our homebuilding segments offer single and multi-family attached and detached homes. We are the general contractors for all real estate projects and retain subcontractors for home construction and land development. Our Financial Services segment provides financial services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, operating as Taylor Morrison Home Funding, LLC (“TMHF”), and title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title Services, LLC (“Inspired Title”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Non-controlling interests - During the first quarter of 2018, we completed multiple offerings of our Class A common stock in registered public offerings and used all of the net proceeds from the public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM (“New TMM Units”) along with shares of our former Class B common stock held by certain former principal equityholders. In addition on October 26, 2018, in connection with our reorganization transactions, all Class B common shares were converted to Class A common shares and subsequently retired. See Note 12- Stockholders' Equity for additional information. The percentage of the former principal equityholders net income is presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-controlling interests - Joint Ventures - We consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” The income from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us is presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests - joint ventures” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of acquired assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Inventory — Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to cost of sales at the time of home closing using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, real estate taxes and overhead are allocated to homes and units using the relative sales value method. These costs are capitalized to inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots on a prospective basis. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate interest or other costs to the community’s inventory until activity resumes. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

11

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales when the related inventory is charged to cost of sales.

We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment by community during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, we first perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are deemed to be impaired and are recorded at fair value as of the assessment date. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, no impairment charges were recorded.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. If we decide to cease development, we will evaluate the project for impairment and then cease future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and economic performance can be maximized. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no inactive projects.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various specific performance agreements to acquire lots. Real estate not owned under these agreements is reflected in “Real estate not owned” with a corresponding liability in “Liabilities attributable to real estate not owned” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, our intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Leases — We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.

Our leases primarily consist of office space, construction trailers, model leasebacks, and equipment or storage units. Certain of our leases offer the option to renew or to increase rental square footage. The execution of such options are at our discretion and may result in a lease modification.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of an opening balance of Operating lease right of use assets and Operating lease liabilities of approximately $27.4 million and $30.3 million, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used in determining these operating lease liabilities was 5.795% and the weighted average remaining lease term as of September 30, 2019 was 6.2 years. Payments on the lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $2.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded lease expense of approximately $2.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, within General and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The future minimum lease payments required under our leases as of September 30, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

12

Years Ending December 31,	Lease Payments(1)
2019(1)	$	2,419

Present value of lease liabilities.	$	43,171

⁽¹⁾ Represents lease payments for the period beginning October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Topic 606

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09” or “Topic 606”). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Home and land closings revenue

Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine the proper home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) we identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) we identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) we determine the transaction price; (4) we allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) we recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. For our home sales transactions, we have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land sales revenue:

• Revenue from closings of residential real estate is recognized when closings have occurred, the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.       

• Revenue from land sales is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow.

Amenity and other revenue

We own and operate certain amenities pursuant to recorded mandatory club plans, which require us to provide club members with access to amenity facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from the club members, which are billed on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in amenity and other revenue.

Financial services revenue

Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. All of the loans TMHF originates are sold to third party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in financial services revenue/expenses are realized and unrealized gain and losses from hedging instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a

13

broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. We do not believe the adoption of the ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, all material assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of AV Homes, Inc. ("AV Homes") on October 2, 2018 were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid.

We determined the estimated fair value of real estate inventory primarily using the sales comparison and income approaches. To a certain extent, certain inventory was valued using third party appraisals and/or market comparisons. The sales comparison approach was used for all inventory in process. The income approach derives a value using a discounted cash flow for income-producing real property. This approach was used exclusively for finished lots. These estimated cash flows and ultimate valuation are significantly affected by the discount rate, estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, overhead costs and may vary significantly between communities.

During the third quarter of 2019, we finalized the allocation of the purchase price with immaterial changes to the preliminary amounts disclosed. The following is a summary of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(Dollars in thousands)	AV Homes
Acquisition Date	October 2, 2018

Reserve - end of period	$	74,259		$	53,408		$	74,259		$	53,408

8. ESTIMATED DEVELOPMENT LIABILITY

The estimated development liability consists primarily of the estimated cost of future utilities improvements in Poinciana, Florida and Rio Rico, Arizona for more than 8,000 home sites previously sold, in most cases prior to 1980. The estimated development liability is reduced by actual expenditures and is evaluated and adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect management’s estimate of potential completion costs. We obtained third-party engineer evaluations and recorded this liability at fair value to reflect the estimated completion costs. Future increases or decreases of costs for construction, material and labor, as well as other land development and utilities infrastructure costs, may have a significant effect on the estimated development liability.

Loans Payable and Other Borrowings

Loans payable and other borrowings as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consist of project-level debt due to various land sellers and seller financing notes from current and prior year acquisitions. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot sales or a principal reduction schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 8% at each of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

We have adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, for valuation of financial instruments. ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 — Fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 — Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

The fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale is derived from negotiated rates with partner lending institutions. The fair value of derivative assets includes interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted MBS prices and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of the forward sales commitments based on quoted MBS prices. The fair value of our mortgage warehouse borrowings, loans payable and other borrowings, the borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our 364-Day Credit Agreement approximate carrying value due to their short term nature and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of our Senior Notes is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers in markets that are not active. There were no changes to or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2019, when compared to December 31, 2018.

The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:

		September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Level in Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Description:
Mortgage loans held for sale	2	$	108,550	$	108,550	$	181,897	$	181,897

⁽¹⁾ Carrying value for Senior Notes, as presented, includes unamortized debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are not factored into the fair value calculation for the Senior Notes.

⁽²⁾Carrying value for the 2022 Senior Notes reflects the acquisition fair value adjustment, net of amortization, whereas the fair value reflects current market pricing.

Fair value measurements are used for inventories on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents the fair value for our inventories measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

(Dollars in thousands)		For the Year Ended December 31,
Description:	Level in Fair Value Hierarchy	2018
Inventories	3	$	5,545

At September 30, 2019, the fair value for such inventories was not determined as there were no events and circumstances that indicated their carrying value was not recoverable.

11. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 25.9% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 15.9% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, uncertain tax positions, and discrete tax adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the adjustments to our existing deferred tax assets resulting from tax accounting method changes affirmatively accepted by the IRS and adjustments to the provisional tax expense for the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings resulting from completing our calculations of the transition tax as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") and finalizing our 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns.

At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits were $7.4 million. If the unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019 were to be recognized, approximately $5.9 million would affect the effective tax rate. We had $0.9 million and $0.7 million of gross interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions accrued as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Stock

As of October 26, 2018, as a result of a holding company reorganization and related transactions each share of the Company’s former Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), and paired partnership units of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A common stock”). Following this exchange, all of the shares of Class B common stock were canceled, and the Company had only one class of common stock outstanding. On May 29, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to (i) delete provisions no longer applicable following the cancellation of all outstanding shares of the former Class B common stock; and (ii) to rename the Company’s Class A common stock as “Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share.” Following this amendment and restatement, under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, its authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

References to “Common Stock” refer to “Class A Common Stock” for dates prior to June 10, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Program

On March 11, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of Common Stock through December 31, 2019 in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. We did not repurchase shares during the three months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 8,389,348 shares of Common Stock under the Company's stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2019, we have fully utilized the authorization and currently do not have additional authorization for stock repurchases.

13. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-Based Compensation

In April 2013, we adopted the Taylor Morrison Home Corporation 2013 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan was most recently amended and restated in May 2017. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards deliverable in shares of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2019, we had an aggregate of 6,926,110 shares of Common Stock available for future grants under the Plan.

The following table provides information regarding the amount and components of stock-based compensation expense, all of which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Restricted stock units (1)	$	2,747	$	2,673	$	8,105	$	6,778
Stock options	946		918		2,831		3,103
Total stock compensation	$	3,693	$	3,591	$	10,936	$	9,881

⁽¹⁾ Includes compensation expense related to time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Outstanding performance-based RSUs reflected in the table above are reported at target level of performance.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate unrecognized value of all outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $24.9 million and $20.4 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units – The following table summarizes the time-based RSU and performance-based RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2018	1,925,364		$	16.49
Granted	713,247		18.45
Vested	(813,430	)	13.20
Forfeited (1)	(87,032	)	18.25
Balance at September 30, 2019	1,738,149		$	18.86

⁽¹⁾ Forfeitures on time-based RSUs are a result of terminations of employment, while forfeitures on performance-based RSUs are a result of failing to attain certain goals as outlined in our stock based compensation awards or termination of employment. Outstanding performance-based RSUs reflected in the table above are reported at target level of performance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we granted time-based RSU awards and performance-based RSU awards to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Our time-based RSUs consist of awards that settle in shares of Common Stock and have been awarded to our employees and members of our Board of Directors. Vesting of these RSUs is subject to continued employment with TMHC or an affiliate, or continued service on the Board of Directors, through the applicable vesting dates. Time-based RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over a three to four year period, based on the grant date. Time-based RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Additionally, we granted performance-based RSUs to certain employees of the Company. These awards will vest in full based on the achievement of certain performance goals over a three-year performance period, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the date the Compensation Committee certifies the applicable level of performance achieved and will be settled in shares of our Common Stock. The number of shares that may be issued in settlement of the performance-based RSUs to the award recipients may be greater or less than the target award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards.

Stock Options – The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds — We are committed, under various letters of credit and surety bonds, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds under these arrangements totaled $533.9 million and $397.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, the bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds as of September 30, 2019 will be drawn upon.

Legal Proceedings — We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our legal accruals were $7.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. Predicting the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss associated with these matters is inherently difficult. Accordingly, the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter may exceed the estimate reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matters. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

27

17. MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We enter into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 60 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These IRLCs meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Financial Services revenue/expenses on the statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets or liabilities, are measured based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted Agency MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The fair value of the forward loan sales commitment and mandatory delivery commitments being used to hedge the IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors are based on quoted Agency MBS prices.

The following summarizes derivative instrument assets (liabilities) as of the periods presented:

	As of
	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value			Notional Amount
IRLCs	$	2,861	$	148,452	$	1,838		$	75,090
MBSs	42		185,000		(739		)	118,000
Total	$	2,903			$	1,099

Total commitments to originate loans approximated $163.9 million and $83.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. This amount represents the commitments to originate loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting. The notional amounts in the table above includes mandatory and best effort loans, that have been locked and approved by underwriting.

We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and by entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.

18. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, we may engage in transactions with entities or persons that are affiliated with us. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had no transactions with related parties.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings, totaling 30.2 million shares. We used all of the net proceeds from these public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B common stock, held by certain of our former principal equityholders. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock we purchased was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold by the Company in the public offerings. In addition, in a series of transactions following each public offering, the Company purchased a total of 7.6 million shares of Class B common stock directly from such former principal equityholders at the same respective net purchase price per share in each public offering.

28

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2019, utilizing funds borrowed from our Revolving Credit Facility, we repaid our 364-Day Credit Agreement. The total amount paid, including interest, was $200.5 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (“TMHC”) and its subsidiaries. The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws regarding, among other things, our or management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or predictions of future events, which are considered forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “project” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read this quarterly report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) . Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and our subsequent filings with the SEC, could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this quarterly report. We expressly disclaim any intent, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, except as required by applicable law.

Business Overview

Our principal business is residential homebuilding and the development of lifestyle communities with operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North and South Carolina and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury and active adult. Our homebuilding segments operate under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West and Financial Services, as follows:

East	Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Jacksonville, Orlando, Raleigh, Southwest Florida, and Tampa
Central	Austin, Dallas, Denver, and Houston
West	Bay Area, Phoenix, Sacramento and Southern California
Financial Services	TMHF and Inspired Title

We offer single and multi-family attached and detached homes, and revenue is recognized when the homes are completed and delivered to the buyers. Our primary costs are the acquisition of land in various stages of development and the construction costs of the homes we sell.

Our Financial Services reportable segment provides our customers with mortgage services through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, TMHF, and title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title. Revenues from loan origination are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow.

Factors Affecting Comparability of Results

30

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. The primary factor that affects the comparability of our results of operations is the acquisition of AV Homes. The acquisition of AV Homes resulted in transaction expenses which are presented in Transaction expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as well as impacts of purchase accounting which are included in Cost of home closings in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the redemption of our 2021 and 2022 Senior Notes, we recorded loss on extinguishment of debt which included the write off of unamortized fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. In 2018, we experienced a lower effective tax rate as a result of certain changes in tax accounting methods.

Recent Developments

On October 1, 2019 we repaid our $200.0 million 364-Day Credit Agreement which was entered into on October 2, 2018 for the acquisition of AV Homes. The total amount paid, including interest, was $200.5 million.

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights:

• Net sales orders were 2,540, a 39% increase over the prior year quarter

• Average monthly sales pace per community was 2.4, compared to 2.2 for the prior year quarter

• Home closings were 2,296, a 9% increase over the prior year quarter

• Total revenue was $1.1 billion, a 7% increase over the prior year quarter

• GAAP home closings gross margin was 18.5%

• SG&A as a percent of home closings revenue was 11.1%

• Net income was $67 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.63

Average active selling communities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by 24.7% primarily due to the acquisition of AV Homes in the fourth quarter of 2018, resulting in additional communities across all reporting regions with the largest concentration in the East.

⁽¹⁾ Net sales orders and sales value represent the number and dollar value, respectively, of new sales contracts executed with customers, net of cancellations.

East:

The number of net sales orders increased by 63.5% and 38.7%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Additional active selling communities resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes in the fourth quarter of 2018 were the primary contributor to the increase in net sales orders. The average selling price of net sales orders decreased 2.0% and 3.3%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. Product and geographical mix primarily resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes contributed to the decrease in average selling prices.

Central:

The number of net sales orders increased by 23.0% and 8.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Our Dallas market contributed to the increase for both periods primarily as a result of additional active selling communities resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes in the fourth quarter of 2018. Product and geographical mix contributed to the relatively flat average selling price compared to the same periods in the prior year.

West:

The number of net sales orders increased by 25.3% and 9.7%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Additional active selling communities resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes and higher average sales pace in these communities were the primary contributors to the increase in net sales orders. The average selling price of net sales orders decreased 13.6% and 14.2%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. Product and geographical mix among all the divisions within the region contributed to the decrease in average selling price of net sales orders.

Sales Order Cancellations

	Cancellation Rate(1)
	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
East	10.9	%	10.8	%	11.6	%	10.6	%
Central	13.8		13.6		12.8		11.1
West	11.0		17.5		13.3		11.6
Total Company	11.8	%	13.6	%	12.4	%	11.0	%

⁽¹⁾ Cancellation rate represents the number of canceled sales orders divided by gross sales orders.

The total company cancellation rate increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The volatility in the mortgage rate environment, especially during the first quarter of 2019, was the primary cause of the increase across all regions. However, the total company cancellation rate decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of stabilization in the mortgage rates.

Sales Order Backlog

	As of September 30,
	Sold Homes in Backlog (1)				Sales Value						Average Selling Price
(Dollars in thousands)	2019	2018	Change		2019		2018		Change		2019		2018		Change
East	2,186	1,589	37.6	%	$	935,273	$	754,666	23.9	%	$	428	$	475	(9.9	)%
Central	1,856	1,610	15.3		936,889		814,173		15.1		505		506		(0.2	)
West	1,253	1,250	0.2		662,440		771,135		(14.1	)	529		617		(14.3	)
Total	5,295	4,449	19.0	%	$	2,534,602	$	2,339,974	8.3	%	$	479	$	526	(8.9	)%

⁽¹⁾ Sales order backlog represents homes under contract for which revenue has not yet been recognized at the end of the period (including homes sold but not yet started). Some of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in cancellations.

Total backlog units and total sales value increased by 19.0% and 8.3% at September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to September 30, 2018. The increase in backlog units and dollars is primarily a result of increased active selling communities resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes as well as organic growth.

East:

The number of homes closed increased by 8.0% and 21.2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Home closings revenue, net increased 10.6% and 21.8%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. The increase in both units and dollars is primarily due to the increase in active selling communities resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Central:

The number of homes closed increased by 9.9% and 18.2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Home closing revenue, net increased 13.5% and 18.4%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. The increase in both units and dollars was partially a result of our Houston market experiencing increased housing demand as well as the acquisition of AV Homes contributing to an increase in the number of communities and an increase in home closings in the Dallas market in the current year period compared to the prior year period.

West:

The number of homes closed increased by 8.1% and 23.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in units is primarily due to the increase in active selling communities resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes as well as increased demand from certain California markets. Home closings revenue, net decreased 5.7% and increased 14.9%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in home closings revenue, net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to product mix with lower average selling prices in our Southern California market, whereas overall demand in the majority of our markets contributed to the increase in home closings revenue, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year.

We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes. However, in some locations where we act as a

developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or

government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots

or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. As a developer, we may include land sales in our

underwriting strategies in many of our master plan communities where we may mitigate risk, enhance our returns or pursue

opportunities allowing access to new land positions. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of

profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending upon

market opportunities. The decrease in land closings revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the West region is due to the sale of certain long-term strategic assets in the prior year.

As the result of the acquisition of AV Homes, our East region includes communities that operate amenities such as golf courses, club houses, and fitness centers. We provide club members access to the amenity facilities and other services in exchange for club dues and fees. We do not currently own or operate significant amenity facilities in our Central or West regions.

The primary driver for these decreases was product mix primarily resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes. These decreases were partially offset by lower discounts.

Central:

Home closings gross margin percentage increased to 18.2% from 17.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and decreased to 17.3% from 17.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

36

The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily driven by an increase in demand in the majority of our Central region's markets. The primary driver for the decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was product mix resulting from the acquisition of AV Homes. This decrease was partially offset by lower discounts.

West:

Home closings gross margin percentage decreased to 20.8% from 21.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and increased to 21.1% from 19.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The primary drivers for the fluctuations in both periods were product and geographical mix changes and lower discounts in our California markets.

Financial Services

Financial services revenue increased by 36.5% and 30.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in financial services revenue is due to increased closings primarily due to the acquisition of AV Homes.

Sales, Commissions and Other Marketing Costs

37

Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, increased to 7.2% from 6.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and to 7.1% from 6.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increased advertising expenses due to increased community count as a result of newly acquired AV Homes' divisions. Our new communities typically have higher sales and marketing costs during their earlier stages of sales due to various start up costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, increased to 3.9% from 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and remained flat at 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in the prior year. We continue our efforts to utilize our scalable platform, including from our AV Homes operations, providing leverage with existing infrastructure to maintain stable operating costs.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities was $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $8.0 million and $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to several of our joint ventures being in their close out stage with less product availability during 2019 compared to 2018.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net was $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2.3 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest income, net includes interest earned on cash balances offset by interest incurred but not capitalized on our long-term debt and other borrowings.

Other Income/Expense, Net

Other income/expense, net was $0.4 million and $0.8 million in expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other income/expense, net was $1.5 million in income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to an expense of $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is a result of insurance recoveries for losses incurred from previous years' hurricanes.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Transaction expenses consisted of acquisition related costs, related to the acquisition of AV Homes, which include compensation, legal fees, and other various integration costs.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 25.9% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 15.9% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was based on the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and was affected primarily by state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, uncertain tax positions, and discrete tax adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflected the effects from tax accounting method changes affirmatively accepted by the IRS in response to the Tax Act and our adjustments to the provisional tax expense from completing our calculations of the transition tax as a result of the Tax Act and finalizing our 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns.

Net Income

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $67.0 million and $0.63, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $94.4 million and $0.83, respectively. The decreases in net income and earnings per share from the prior year are attributable to lower homebuilding gross margin and loss on extinguishment of debt in 2019. In addition, in 2018 we experienced a lower effective tax rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 which was impacted by adjustments to our existing deferred tax assets resulting from tax accounting method changes affirmatively accepted by the IRS in response to the Tax Act

38

and our adjustments to the provisional tax expense from completing our calculations of the transition tax and finalizing our U.S. federal income tax returns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We finance our operations through the following:

• Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility;

• Our various series of Senior Notes;

• Mortgage warehouse facilities;

• Project-level real estate financing (including non-recourse loans);

• Performance, payment and completion surety bonds, and letters of credit; and

• Cash generated from operations.

We believe that we can fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for the next 12 months from:

• Cash generated from operations; and

• Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We may also access the capital markets to obtain additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings on an opportunistic basis. Generally, our principal uses of capital relate to land purchases, lot development, home construction, operating expenses, payment of debt service, income taxes, investments in joint ventures, stock repurchases, and the payment of various liabilities.

Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the status of the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash expenditures for land acquisitions, on and off-site development, construction of model homes, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of earnings.

The table below summarizes our total cash and liquidity as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Cash Flow Activities

Operating Cash Flow Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $153.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $56.0 million provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary drivers of the increase in cash provided by operating activities compared to the same period in the prior year was less spend on real estate

39

inventory and land deposits and an increase accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities. Such changes were partially offset by a smaller increase in customer deposits.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $4.3 million provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We increased spending on property and equipment in 2019, offset by higher net distributions from joint ventures, compared to the same period in 2018.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $254.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $252.4 million used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The cash used in financing activities during 2019 was primarily for net repayments of debt and Common Stock repurchases, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes. The cash used in financing activities in 2018 was primarily attributable to net debt repayments and repurchases of partnership units in our subsidiary from our former principal equityholders as part of our public equity offerings completed in January.

The net proceeds of the offering were used to redeem the entire remaining $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Senior Notes on August 19, 2019, at the redemption price of 103.313% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through, but not including, the date of redemption.

41

The 2028 Senior Notes mature on January 15, 2028. The 2028 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee our other Senior Notes. The 2028 Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and are not subject to registration rights. The indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. The indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes contains customary events of default that are similar to those contained in the indentures governing our other Senior Notes. The change of control provisions in the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes are similar to those contained in the indentures governing our other Senior Notes.

Prior to October 15, 2027, the 2028 Senior Notes are redeemable at a price equal to 100% plus a "make-whole" premium for payments through October 15, 2027 (plus accrued and unpaid interest).

There are no financial maintenance covenants for the 2028 Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $600.0 million Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 26, 2022 and is guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the various Senior Notes.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes $2.0 million and $2.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $82.6 million and $62.3 million, respectively, of utilized letters of credit, resulting in $517.4 million and $537.7 million, respectively, of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain “springing” financial covenants, requiring us and our subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level of at least $1.9 billion. The financial covenants would be in effect for any fiscal quarter during which any (a) loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding during the last day of such fiscal quarter or on more than five separate days during such fiscal quarter or (b) undrawn letters of credit (except to the extent cash collateralized) issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount greater than $40.0 million or unreimbursed letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter or for more than five consecutive days during such fiscal quarter. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants for any fiscal quarter, the Revolving Credit Facility provides that we may exercise an equity cure by issuing certain permitted securities for cash or otherwise recording cash contributions to our capital that will, upon the contribution of such cash to the borrower, be included in the calculation of consolidated tangible net worth and consolidated total capitalization. The equity cure right is exercisable up to twice in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and up to five times overall.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including limitations on incurrence of liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions and investments in entities that are not guarantors, limitations on prepayment of subordinated indebtedness and limitations on fundamental changes. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, subject to applicable grace periods, including for nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts, violation of covenants (including financial covenants, subject to the exercise of an equity cure), incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross default and cross acceleration, bankruptcy, material monetary judgments, ERISA events with material adverse effect, actual or asserted invalidity of material guarantees and change of control.

As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

364-Day Credit Agreement

Our 364-Day Credit Agreement matured on October 1, 2019 and was a term loan facility under which we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million.

The 364-Day Credit Agreement contained certain financial covenants, requiring us and our subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level of at least $1.9 billion. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

Refer to Note 19 - Subsequent events for discussion regarding the repayment of our 364-Day Credit Agreement, using borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility.

Mortgage Warehouse Borrowings

The following is a summary of our mortgage warehouse borrowings:

(Dollars in thousands)	As of September 30, 2019
Facility	Amount Drawn		Facility Amount		Interest Rate	Expiration Date	Collateral (1)
Warehouse A	$	13,962	$	45,000	LIBOR + 1.75%	On Demand	Mortgage Loans
Warehouse B	18,899		50,000		LIBOR + 1.75%	On Demand	Mortgage Loans
Warehouse C	23,190		75,000		LIBOR + 1.95%	On Demand	Mortgage Loans and Restricted Cash
Total	$	56,051	$	170,000

 

⁽¹⁾ The mortgage warehouse borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2019 were collateralized by a) $108.6 million of mortgage loans held for sale, which comprised the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and b) approximately $1.1 million of cash which is included in restricted cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loans Payable and Other Borrowings

Loans payable and other borrowings as of September 30, 2019 consist of project-level debt due to various land sellers and seller financing notes from current and prior year acquisitions. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot sales or a principal reduction schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 8% at each of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees

The following table summarizes our letters of credit and surety bonds as of the dates indicated:

	As of
(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Letters of credit (1)	$	85,055	$	62,315
Surety bonds	448,875		334,892
Total outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds	$	533,930	$	397,207

⁽¹⁾ As of September 30, 2019, there was $82.6 million of letters of credit outstanding and $160 million total capacity for letters of credit available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Additional letters of credit outstanding are under other various borrowing facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of September 30, 2019

Investments in Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Unconsolidated Entities

We participate in strategic land development and homebuilding joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties. Our participation in these entities, in some instances, enables us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on terms that are as favorable. Our partners in these joint ventures historically have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to sites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large or expensive land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital.

In certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we enter into loan agreements, whereby we or one of our subsidiaries will provide the lenders with customary guarantees, including completion, indemnity and environmental guarantees subject to usual non-recourse terms.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total cash invested in unconsolidated joint ventures was $10.2 million.

Land Purchase and Land Option Contracts

43

We enter into land purchase and option contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes in the ordinary course of business. Lot option contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding land purchase and lot option contracts of $300.3 million. We are obligated to close the transaction under our land purchase contracts. However, our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits and/or letters of credit provided to obtain the options. At September 30, 2019, we had non-refundable deposits totaling $41.8 million.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal. We have historically experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience, variability in our results on a quarterly basis. We generally have more homes under construction, close more homes and have greater revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Therefore, although new home contracts are obtained throughout the year, a higher portion of our home closings occur during the third and fourth calendar quarters. Our revenue therefore may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis, and we must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. Factors expected to contribute to these fluctuations include:

• the timing of the introduction and start of construction of new projects;

• the timing of project sales;

• the timing of closings of homes, lots and parcels;

• the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals for development and construction;

• the condition of the real estate market and general economic conditions in the areas in which we operate;

• mix of homes closed;

• construction timetables;

• the prevailing interest rates and the availability of financing, both for us and for the purchasers of our homes;

• the cost and availability of materials and labor; and

• weather conditions in the markets in which we build.

As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position are not necessarily representative of the results we expect for the full year.

Inflation

We and the homebuilding industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, financing, labor and construction material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. We attempt to pass through to our customers increases in our costs through increased sales prices. However, during periods of soft housing market conditions, we may not be able to offset our cost increases with higher selling prices.

Critical Accounting Policies -

In January 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which provides new guidance for lease recognition and elected to use the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional discussion. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report.

44

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and incur both fixed rate and variable rate debt. At September 30, 2019, approximately 88% of our debt was fixed rate and 12% was variable rate. None of our market sensitive instruments were entered into for trading purposes. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument but may affect our future earnings and cash flows, and may also impact our variable rate borrowing costs, which principally relate to any borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, 364-Day Credit Agreement, and borrowings by TMHF under its various warehouse facilities. As of September 30, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and $200.0 million outstanding borrowings under our 364-Day Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 19 - Subsequent Events for discussion regarding the repayment of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. We had $517.4 million of additional availability for borrowings including, $77.4 million of additional availability for letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019 (giving effect to $82.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of such date). We are required to offer to purchase all of our outstanding Senior Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount upon the occurrence of specified change of control events. Other than in those circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, we would not expect interest rate risk and changes in fair value to have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.

The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2019. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the interest rate on our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, 364-Day Credit Agreement, and mortgage warehouse facilities. Because the mortgage warehouse facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within approximately 20 - 30 days, its outstanding balance is included as a variable rate maturity in the most current period presented.

	Expected Maturity Date																					Fair Value
(In millions, except percentage data)	2019			2020			2021			2022			2023			Thereafter			Total
Fixed Rate Debt	$	57.4		$	50.0		$	46.5		$	15.7		$	374.5		$	1,331.1		$	1,875.2		$	2,001.1
Weighted average interest rate(1)	2.4		%	2.4		%	2.4		%	2.4		%	5.6		%	5.7		%	5.4		%
Variable Rate Debt(2)	$	256.1		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	256.1		$	256.1
Weighted average interest rate	3.9		%	—			—			—			—			—			3.9		%

⁽¹⁾ Represents the coupon rate of interest on the full principal amount of the debt.

⁽²⁾ Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2019, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $2.6 million per year.

45

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2019.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level. Management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting for AV Homes, which was acquired on October 2, 2018, and represented 9.4% of the Company's consolidated total assets (excluding capitalized interest, inclusive of goodwill) and 15.4% of the Company's consolidated homebuilding revenues as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report. These risk factors may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and the other information set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company.

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined herein) of the Issuer’s 5.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”):

The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require in writing a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it in trust to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require in writing a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it in trust to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

(2)No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 9.05).

(3)The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4)All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5)The Issuer shall not be required:

(A)to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses, including the Trustee’s expenses, in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlled by the Issuer or any Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) in accordance with its customary procedures. Certification of the disposal of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its written request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon five Business Days’ prior written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption will not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.14 Issuance of Additional Notes.

The Issuer will be entitled, from time to time, without consent of the Holders, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture with identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date other than with respect to (i) the date of issuance and initial accrual of interest, (ii) the issue price, (iii) the amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date and (iv) any adjustments in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws). The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, except that Additional Notes issued with “original issue discount” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall not have the same CUSIP number as any Initial Notes and, to the extent required by applicable tax regulations, may be treated as a separate class for purposes of transfer and exchanges of Notes.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer will set forth in an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1)the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(2)the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; and

(3)whether such Additional Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions.

(2)if otherwise required by law or the procedures of DTC.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or are required to be purchased, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter or longer period as the Trustee may agree (but in no case less than 30 days prior to the redemption date)), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee make such selection as provided in the preceding paragraph.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 of this Indenture.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP Number(s)) and shall state:

(1)the redemption date;

(2)the redemption price;

(3)if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued in the name of the applicable Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;

(4)the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(5)that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6)that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree (but in no case less than 30 days prior to the redemption date)), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. The Issuer may provide in a notice of redemption that payment of the redemption price and the performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once a notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of any conditions precedent, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Any such redemption or notice of redemption may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including the occurrence of a Change of Control. In addition, if any such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), and/or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, and/or that such notice may be rescinded at any time by the Issuer if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived). In addition, the Issuer may provide in such redemption notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or required purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Issuer hereby designates the New York Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03.

provided, however, that all of the foregoing reports (A) will not be required to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or Item 10(e)(l)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein), (B) will not be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors and non-guarantor subsidiaries contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and (C) will not be required to contain information required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

(b) At any time that there shall be one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries that, in the aggregate, hold more than 15.0% of Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets, the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto of the financial condition and results of operations of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(c) References under this Section 4.03 to the laws, rules, forms, items, articles and sections shall be to such laws, rules, forms, items, articles and sections as they exist on the Reference Date, without giving effect to amendments thereto that may take effect after the Reference Date.

(d) All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report will include a report on the relevant entity’s consolidated financial statements by the relevant entity’s certified independent accountants. Notwithstanding the deadlines for the reports set forth in Section 4.03(a), such report by the certified independent accountants need not be provided until 120 days after the end of the relevant fiscal year, so long as the related annual report contains unaudited financial statements as of the time it is distributed in accordance with the deadlines set forth in Section 4.03(a).

(e) In addition, the Issuer agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03, it will furnish to the Holders and beneficial owners of Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(f) Any subsequent restatement of financial statements shall have no retroactive effect for purposes of calculations previously made pursuant to the covenants contained in this Indenture.

(g) The Issuer shall (1) distribute the information and reports described in Section 4.03(a) (the “Financial Reports”) electronically to the Trustee and (2) make the Financial Reports available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes, any prospective investor, any security analyst and any market maker affiliated with any Initial Purchaser by posting the Financial Reports on Intralinks or any comparable password protected online data system; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to make available any password or other login information to any person other than any such Holder, beneficial owner, prospective investor, security analyst or market maker that establishes its identity as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer. The Trustee will have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such posting or filing (or any other filing referenced below) has occurred.

(h) In addition, the Issuer (or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer) shall:

(1)hold a quarterly conference call to discuss the information contained in the Financial Reports or the relevant Substitute Reports not later than ten business days from the time the Issuer furnishes the Financial Reports or the relevant Substitute Reports to the Trustee (or from the time the same are filed or furnished to the SEC as provided in Section 4.03(i)); and

(2)no fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with clause (1) above, issue a press release to the appropriate U.S. wire services announcing the time and date of such conference call and directing the Holders and beneficial owners of, and prospective investors in, the Notes and securities analysts and market makers to contact an individual at the Issuer (for whom contact information shall be provided in such press release) to obtain the Financial Reports or the relevant Substitute Reports and information on how to access such conference call.

(i) If at any time the Notes are guaranteed by a direct or indirect parent of Holdings, and such company has furnished the Financial Reports described herein with respect to such company as required by this Section 4.03 as if such company were Holdings (including any financial information required hereby), Holdings and the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.03. Any information filed with, or furnished to, the SEC within the time periods specified in this Section 4.03 shall be deemed to have been made available as required by this Section 4.03, and to the extent such filings comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filings, they will be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.03. If Holdings or a direct or indirect parent of Holdings files with or furnishes to the SEC (a) an Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to a fiscal year that complies in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filing, then such filing shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.03(a)(1) with respect to the relevant fiscal year; (b) a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with respect to a fiscal quarter that complies in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filing, then such filing shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.03(a)(2) with respect to the relevant fiscal quarter; and (c) a current report on Form 8-K with respect to any of the events described Section 4.03(a)(3) that complies in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filing, then such filing shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.03(a)(3) with respect to such event (each of (a), (b) and (c), “Substitute Reports”); provided, in each case of clause (a) through (c), that such filings include such disclosure as is reasonably necessary to describe any material differences between the consolidated financial information of such direct or indirect parent and the consolidated financial information of Holdings. The subsequent filing or making available of any materials or conference call required by this Section 4.03 shall be deemed automatically to cure any Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to file or make available such materials or conference call within the required time frame. The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such filings referred to in this Section 4.03 have been made.

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of Holdings, an Officer’s Certificate signed by the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer stating that a review of the activities of Holdings and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Issuer and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05 Taxes.

The Restricted Parent shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07 Restrictions on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

(a) The Restricted Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction after the Issue Date, unless:

(1)notice is given by Holdings or the Restricted Parent to the Trustee of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction within 30 days after its completion;

(2)the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor receive fair value for the property sold, as determined in good faith by the Restricted Parent or the Issuer (evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of such entity delivered to the Trustee, in the case of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to property whose fair value exceeds $20.0 million), it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, fair value may take into account all circumstances of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, including, without limitation, the lease back arrangement; and

(3)the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, within 365 days after the completion of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, applies, or enters into a definitive agreement to apply within such 365-day period, an amount equal to the net proceeds therefrom either:

(A)to the redemption, repayment or other retirement for value of (a) the Notes or (b) any indebtedness of the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is for borrowed money or is evidenced by a bond, note, debenture, guarantee or similar instrument (other than a trade payable or a current liability arising in the ordinary course of business) and which indebtedness ranks equally in right of payment with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, as applicable or

(B)to the purchase by the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor of property used in the trade or business of the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

(b) Any Sale and Leaseback Transaction that fulfills the requirements of Section 4.07(a) (1), (2) and (3) is a “Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transaction”.

(c) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) will not apply to (each, an “Exempt Sale and Leaseback Transaction”):

(1)a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if, at the time such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into, the term of the related lease to the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor of the property being sold pursuant to such transaction is three years or less;

(2)a Sale and Leaseback Transaction for which the encumbrance on the relevant property would be a Permitted Lien; and

(3)a Sale and Leaseback Transaction relating to a property entered into within 180 days after the latest of (x) the date of acquisition of such property by the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, (y) the date of completion of construction of such property and (z) the date of commencement of full operations of such property.

(d) In addition, the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or and the Subsidiary Guarantors may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if immediately thereafter the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Indebtedness outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens and any Equal and Ratable Secured Indebtedness) and (b) all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (excluding Attributable Debt in respect of Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transactions or Exempt Sale and Leaseback Transactions) as of the date of determination would not exceed 20% of Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets as of such date.

Section 4.08 Liens.

(a) The Restricted Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien (a “Triggering Lien”) of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes (or under a Note Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor) are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured (such Indebtedness in respect of which the Notes or Note Guarantees have been so secured, the “Equal and Ratable Secured Indebtedness”) until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Triggering Lien.

(b) In addition, the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors may create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness, without equally and ratably securing the Notes (or a Note Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor) pursuant to the preceding paragraph, if immediately thereafter the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Indebtedness outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens and any Equal and Ratable Secured Indebtedness) and (b) all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (excluding Attributable Debt in respect of Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transactions and Exempt Sale and Leaseback Transactions) would not exceed 20% of Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets as of such date.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.07 and this Section 4.08, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to either of Sections 4.08(a) or (b) or to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) through (jj) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of either of Sections 4.08(a) or (b) or one or more of the categories (or portions thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) through (jj) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify, or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies (based on circumstances existing at the time of such division, classification or reclassification) with this Section 4.08. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that any Indebtedness is incurred to refinance, refund or replace any Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted under any clause of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or Section 4.08(b) that is limited by a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets, the Indebtedness so incurred may be secured by Liens pursuant to such clause or subclause, or Section 4.08(b) at such time.

(d) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common equity of the Restricted Parent or any direct or indirect parent of the Restricted Parent, the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in the definition of “Indebtedness.”

Section 4.09 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs after the Issue Date, unless, prior to the time the Issuer is required to make a Change of Control Offer, the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice that is or has become unconditional with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 or 11.01, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

(1)that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.09 and that all Notes tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer;

(2)the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3)that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4)that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5)that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6)that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(7)that if a Holder requests that only a portion of a Note held by it be purchased, such Holder will be issued a new Note equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Note must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(8)if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and

(9)the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.09, that a Holder must follow.

While the Notes are in global form and the Issuer makes an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a holder of Notes may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder 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. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:

(1)accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2)deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3)deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, 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 the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.09 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) a notice of redemption that is or has become unconditional has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 unless and until there is a Default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.10 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Restricted Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (1) that designation would not cause a Default and (2) the Board of Directors of the Restricted Parent concurrently designates such Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to and in compliance with the corresponding Indenture provisions from time to time in effect, if any, governing the 2023 Notes, the 2024 Notes, the 2027 Notes and any other similar debt securities of the Issuer then outstanding. The Board of Directors of the Issuer or the Restricted Parent may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Restricted Parent giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Liens of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent as of such date and, if such Liens are not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.08, the Restricted Parent shall be in Default of Section 4.08. The Board of Directors of the Restricted Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent of any outstanding Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Liens are permitted under Section 4.08 and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 4.11 [Reserved].

Section 4.12 Additional Note Guarantees.

If at any time any existing or future Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent does not qualify as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary and such Subsidiary is not at that time a Guarantor, then that Restricted Subsidiary will, within 30 days from being acquired, created or ceasing to qualify as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable, become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; provided that no such Restricted Subsidiary will be required to so become a Guarantor for so long as such Subsidiary does not Guarantee any Obligations or otherwise become an obligor under any Credit Agreement. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

Section 4.13 Covenant Termination.

At any time after the Notes have received Investment Grade Ratings from two Rating Agencies (a “Covenant Termination Event”), upon notice by the Issuer to the Trustee certifying that a Covenant Termination Event has occurred and that at the time of the giving of such notice no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (a “Covenant Termination Event Notice”), the Restricted Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not thereafter be subject to the provisions of this Indenture described under Section 4.12. Upon the delivery of a Covenant Termination Event Notice pursuant to a Covenant Termination Event, the Guarantees of the Guarantors will also be released.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1)such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2)Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)such Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4)the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5)Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Issuer and each Guarantor for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee hereunder. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due hereunder, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 8LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1)the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04;

(2)the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02;

(3)the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4)this Article 8.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, Holdings, the Restricted Parent and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04(a), 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and Section 5.01 with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, Holdings, the Restricted Parent and their Restricted Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(7) and, to the extent relating to a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, Sections 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) shall not constitute Events of Default.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes (and any other documents related thereto) without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

(1)to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2)to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3)to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders under the Notes and/or the Note Guarantees by a successor to the Issuer or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Section 10.04;

(4)to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits (including the addition of collateral) to the Holders or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights hereunder of any such Holder;

(5)to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA (to the extent this Indenture is or becomes so qualified);

(6)to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum;

(7)to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the Issue Date;

(8)to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or

(9)to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository.

(b) Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement to this Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.09), the Note Guarantees or the Notes (and any documents related thereto) with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

(b) Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement to this Indenture unless such amendment or supplement directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

(c) It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting as a single class, may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer and the Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1)reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2)reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Section 4.09 and except with respect to provisions specifying the notice periods for effecting a redemption;

(3)reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(4)waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5)make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(6)make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

(7)waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 4.09);

(8)release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(9)impair the right of any Holder of the Notes to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(10)make any change to or modify the ranking as to contractual right of payment of any such Note or related Note Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders; or

(11)make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect if this Indenture is then qualified under the TIA.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement to this Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment or supplement to this Indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves of such amendment or supplement. In executing any amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1)the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2)in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either the Issuer or the Guarantors to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

(e) All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, the economic consequences resulting from the performance of their respective obligations arising under this Indenture. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Notes Guarantee such that its Aggregate Payments exceed its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under their respective Notes Guarantees in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 10.01, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of its Notes Guarantee (including in respect of this Section 10.01), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 10.01. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Contributing Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 10.01(e). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.01(e) shall limit or impair, by implication or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.04, no Subsidiary Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not it is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:

(1)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2)either:

(a) the Person (if other than the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(b) such transaction is (i) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person or Persons that are not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent; or (ii) a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person or Persons that are not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, and notwithstanding subclauses (a) and (b) of the second preceding paragraph, nothing in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Restricted Parent or a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of the Restricted Parent or a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Restricted Parent, the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 10.05 Releases.

The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent;

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Restricted Parent;

(c) if, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Restricted Parent designates such Subsidiary to be a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”;

(d) if that Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its obligations under all Credit Agreements (other than upon the release of all Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantees under all Credit Agreements in connection with the termination or discharge in full of all Credit Agreements);

(e) upon legal defeasance in accordance with Article 8 or satisfaction and discharge in accordance with Article 11; or

(f) upon delivery of a Covenant Termination Event Notice pursuant to a Covenant Termination Event.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor so released pursuant to clause (c) above in reliance upon clause (2) or clause (4) of the definition of “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”), any of its Subsidiaries that are Subsidiary Guarantors will also be released from their Note Guarantees, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Parent shall not be released from its Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in and subject to any limitations contained in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1)either:

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption that is or has become unconditional or otherwise or shall become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a discharge that occurs in connection with a redemption that is to occur on a Redemption Date, the amount to be deposited shall be the amount that, as of the date of such deposit, is deemed reasonably sufficient to make such payment and discharge on the Redemption Date, in the good-faith determination of the Board of Directors of Holdings pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of Holdings and as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate);

(2)no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the incurrence of any Lien in respect thereof) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(3)the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(4)the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be, (subject to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 11.02).

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to sub-clause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law; provided that, if there is a tender offer by the Issuer for outstanding Notes that is in progress at the time of such deposit, such money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 may be applied to pay any cash consideration for any Notes validly tendered into such tender offer and not validly withdrawn so long as prior to any such application the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that after giving effect to such application, the amount remaining on deposit with the Trustee will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes (excluding Notes delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and Notes to be repurchased in such tender offer) for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

To the extent that and so long as the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided, however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Each of the Canadian Guarantor and the other Guarantors organized under Canadian law hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (1) submits itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Indenture, the Notes and, as applicable, its Notes Guarantee for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, appellate courts from any thereof and courts of its own corporate domicile, with respect to actions brought against it as defendant; (2) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waive any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (3) designates and appoints the Issuer as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Notes and, as applicable, its Note Guarantee that may be instituted in any federal or state court in the State of New York (and the Issuer hereby accepts such appointments); and (4) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail addressed to the Issuer, with written notice of said service to such Person at the address of the Issuer set forth in this Indenture shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court.

Section 12.17 Currency Indemnity.

The U.S. dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer or any Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes, including damages. Any amount with respect to the Notes received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or any Guarantor or otherwise by any Holder of a Note or by the Trustee, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or any Guarantor will only constitute a discharge to the Issuer or any Guarantor to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so).

If that U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient or the Trustee under the Notes, the Issuer and each Guarantor will indemnify such recipient and/or the Trustee against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Issuer and each Guarantor will indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 12.17, it will be prima facie evidence of the matter stated therein, for the Holder of a Note or the Trustee to certify in a manner satisfactory to the Issuer (indicating the sources of information used) the loss it incurred in making any such purchase. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer and each Guarantor’s other obligations, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder of a Note or the Trustee (other than a waiver of the indemnities set out herein) and will continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note or to the Trustee. For the purposes of determining the amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars, such amount shall be determined using the Exchange Rate then in effect.

For purposes of this Section 12.17, “Exchange Rate” means, on any day, the rate at which the currency other than U.S. dollars may be exchanged into U.S. dollars at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date on the Bloomberg Key Cross Currency Rates Page for the relevant currency. In the event that such rate does not appear on any Bloomberg Key Cross Currency Rate Page, the Exchange Rate shall be determined by the Issuer in good faith.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Joint Ventures

Joint Ventures - We consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” The income from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us is presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests - joint ventures” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of acquired assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Inventory

Real Estate Inventory — Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to cost of sales at the time of home closing using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, real estate taxes and overhead are allocated to homes and units using the relative sales value method. These costs are capitalized to inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots on a prospective basis. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate interest or other costs to the community’s inventory until activity resumes. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales when the related inventory is charged to cost of sales.

We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment by community during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, we first perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are deemed to be impaired and are recorded at fair value as of the assessment date. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, no impairment charges were recorded.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. If we decide to cease development, we will evaluate the project for impairment and then cease future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and economic performance can be maximized. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no inactive projects.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various specific performance agreements to acquire lots. Real estate not owned under these agreements is reflected in “Real estate not owned” with a corresponding liability in “Liabilities attributable to real estate not owned” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, our intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded.

Leases

Leases — We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.

Our leases primarily consist of office space, construction trailers, model leasebacks, and equipment or storage units. Certain of our leases offer the option to renew or to increase rental square footage. The execution of such options are at our discretion and may result in a lease modification.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Topic 606

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09” or “Topic 606”). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Home and land closings revenue

Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine the proper home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) we identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) we identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) we determine the transaction price; (4) we allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) we recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. For our home sales transactions, we have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land sales revenue:

• Revenue from closings of residential real estate is recognized when closings have occurred, the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.       

• Revenue from land sales is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow.

Amenity and other revenue

We own and operate certain amenities pursuant to recorded mandatory club plans, which require us to provide club members with access to amenity facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from the club members, which are billed on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in amenity and other revenue.

Financial services revenue

Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. All of the loans TMHF originates are sold to third party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in financial services revenue/expenses are realized and unrealized gain and losses from hedging instruments.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds — We are committed, under various letters of credit and surety bonds, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds under these arrangements totaled $533.9 million and $397.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, the bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds as of September 30, 2019 will be drawn upon.

Legal Proceedings — We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our legal accruals were $7.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. Predicting the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss associated with these matters is inherently difficult. Accordingly, the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter may exceed the estimate reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matters. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Stock

As of October 26, 2018, as a result of a holding company reorganization and related transactions each share of the Company’s former Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), and paired partnership units of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A common stock”). Following this exchange, all of the shares of Class B common stock were canceled, and the Company had only one class of common stock outstanding. On May 29, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to (i) delete provisions no longer applicable following the cancellation of all outstanding shares of the former Class B common stock; and (ii) to rename the Company’s Class A common stock as “Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share.” Following this amendment and restatement, under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, its authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

References to “Common Stock” refer to “Class A Common Stock” for dates prior to June 10, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Program

On March 11, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of Common Stock through December 31, 2019 in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. We did not repurchase shares during the three months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 8,389,348 shares of Common Stock under the Company's stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2019, we have fully utilized the authorization and currently do not have additional authorization for stock repurchases.

Real Estate Liabilities Associated with Assets Held for Development and Sale [Abstract]

ESTIMATED DEVELOPMENT LIABILITY

ESTIMATED DEVELOPMENT LIABILITY

The estimated development liability consists primarily of the estimated cost of future utilities improvements in Poinciana, Florida and Rio Rico, Arizona for more than 8,000 home sites previously sold, in most cases prior to 1980. The estimated development liability is reduced by actual expenditures and is evaluated and adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect management’s estimate of potential completion costs. We obtained third-party engineer evaluations and recorded this liability at fair value to reflect the estimated completion costs. Future increases or decreases of costs for construction, material and labor, as well as other land development and utilities infrastructure costs, may have a significant effect on the estimated development liability.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to TMHC by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if all outstanding dilutive equity awards to issue shares of Common Stock were exercised or settled.

The following is a summary of the components of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Business Combinations

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, all material assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of AV Homes, Inc. ("AV Homes") on October 2, 2018 were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid.

We determined the estimated fair value of real estate inventory primarily using the sales comparison and income approaches. To a certain extent, certain inventory was valued using third party appraisals and/or market comparisons. The sales comparison approach was used for all inventory in process. The income approach derives a value using a discounted cash flow for income-producing real property. This approach was used exclusively for finished lots. These estimated cash flows and ultimate valuation are significantly affected by the discount rate, estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, overhead costs and may vary significantly between communities.

During the third quarter of 2019, we finalized the allocation of the purchase price with immaterial changes to the preliminary amounts disclosed. The following is a summary of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(Dollars in thousands)	AV Homes
Acquisition Date	October 2, 2018
Assets acquired
Real estate inventory	$	782,424
Prepaid expenses and other assets(1)	107,004

Senior notes, net	412,520
Net assets acquired	$	534,922

⁽¹⁾ Includes cash acquired.

⁽²⁾ Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. We allocated $43.3 million of goodwill to the East homebuilding segment, $30.0 million to the Central homebuilding segment, and $9.9 million to the West homebuilding segment.

⁽³⁾ See Note 8 - Estimated Development Liability

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Business Combinations

The following unaudited pro forma information for the periods presented include the results of operations of our acquisition of AV Homes as if it had been completed on January 1 in the year prior to the acquisition year. The pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or future results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place one year prior to the acquisition year. The pro forma information combines the historical results of the Company with the historical results of AV Homes for the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma results do not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies, other costs savings that may result from the acquisitions, or other significant non-reoccurring expenses or transactions that do not have a continuing impact. Earnings per share utilizes net income and total weighted average shares of common stock. The pro forma amounts are based on available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 25.9% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 15.9% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, uncertain tax positions, and discrete tax adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the adjustments to our existing deferred tax assets resulting from tax accounting method changes affirmatively accepted by the IRS and adjustments to the provisional tax expense for the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings resulting from completing our calculations of the transition tax as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") and finalizing our 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns.

At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits were $7.4 million. If the unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019 were to be recognized, approximately $5.9 million would affect the effective tax rate. We had $0.9 million and $0.7 million of gross interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions accrued as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

⁽¹⁾ The mortgage warehouse borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were collateralized by a) $108.6 million and $181.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale, which comprised the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and b) approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of cash which are included in restricted cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loans Payable and Other Borrowings

Loans payable and other borrowings as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consist of project-level debt due to various land sellers and seller financing notes from current and prior year acquisitions. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot sales or a principal reduction schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 8% at each of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Non-controlling interests - During the first quarter of 2018, we completed multiple offerings of our Class A common stock in registered public offerings and used all of the net proceeds from the public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM (“New TMM Units”) along with shares of our former Class B common stock held by certain former principal equityholders. In addition on October 26, 2018, in connection with our reorganization transactions, all Class B common shares were converted to Class A common shares and subsequently retired. See Note 12- Stockholders' Equity for additional information. The percentage of the former principal equityholders net income is presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-controlling interests - Joint Ventures - We consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” The income from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us is presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests - joint ventures” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of acquired assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Inventory — Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to cost of sales at the time of home closing using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, real estate taxes and overhead are allocated to homes and units using the relative sales value method. These costs are capitalized to inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots on a prospective basis. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate interest or other costs to the community’s inventory until activity resumes. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales when the related inventory is charged to cost of sales.

We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment by community during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, we first perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are deemed to be impaired and are recorded at fair value as of the assessment date. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, no impairment charges were recorded.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. If we decide to cease development, we will evaluate the project for impairment and then cease future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and economic performance can be maximized. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no inactive projects.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various specific performance agreements to acquire lots. Real estate not owned under these agreements is reflected in “Real estate not owned” with a corresponding liability in “Liabilities attributable to real estate not owned” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, our intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Leases — We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.

Our leases primarily consist of office space, construction trailers, model leasebacks, and equipment or storage units. Certain of our leases offer the option to renew or to increase rental square footage. The execution of such options are at our discretion and may result in a lease modification.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of an opening balance of Operating lease right of use assets and Operating lease liabilities of approximately $27.4 million and $30.3 million, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used in determining these operating lease liabilities was 5.795% and the weighted average remaining lease term as of September 30, 2019 was 6.2 years. Payments on the lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $2.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded lease expense of approximately $2.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, within General and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The future minimum lease payments required under our leases as of September 30, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Years Ending December 31,	Lease Payments(1)
2019(1)	$	2,419

Less: Interest	$	8,030
Present value of lease liabilities.	$	43,171

⁽¹⁾ Represents lease payments for the period beginning October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Topic 606

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09” or “Topic 606”). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Home and land closings revenue

Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine the proper home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) we identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) we identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) we determine the transaction price; (4) we allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) we recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. For our home sales transactions, we have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land sales revenue:

• Revenue from closings of residential real estate is recognized when closings have occurred, the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.       

• Revenue from land sales is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow.

Amenity and other revenue

We own and operate certain amenities pursuant to recorded mandatory club plans, which require us to provide club members with access to amenity facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from the club members, which are billed on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in amenity and other revenue.

Financial services revenue

Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. All of the loans TMHF originates are sold to third party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in financial services revenue/expenses are realized and unrealized gain and losses from hedging instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a

broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. We do not believe the adoption of the ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We enter into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 60 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These IRLCs meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Financial Services revenue/expenses on the statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets or liabilities, are measured based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted Agency MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The fair value of the forward loan sales commitment and mandatory delivery commitments being used to hedge the IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors are based on quoted Agency MBS prices.

The following summarizes derivative instrument assets (liabilities) as of the periods presented:

	As of
	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value			Notional Amount
IRLCs	$	2,861	$	148,452	$	1,838		$	75,090
MBSs	42		185,000		(739		)	118,000
Total	$	2,903			$	1,099

Total commitments to originate loans approximated $163.9 million and $83.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. This amount represents the commitments to originate loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting. The notional amounts in the table above includes mandatory and best effort loans, that have been locked and approved by underwriting.

We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and by entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-Based Compensation

In April 2013, we adopted the Taylor Morrison Home Corporation 2013 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan was most recently amended and restated in May 2017. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards deliverable in shares of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2019, we had an aggregate of 6,926,110 shares of Common Stock available for future grants under the Plan.

The following table provides information regarding the amount and components of stock-based compensation expense, all of which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Restricted stock units (1)	$	2,747	$	2,673	$	8,105	$	6,778
Stock options	946		918		2,831		3,103
Total stock compensation	$	3,693	$	3,591	$	10,936	$	9,881

⁽¹⁾ Includes compensation expense related to time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Outstanding performance-based RSUs reflected in the table above are reported at target level of performance.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate unrecognized value of all outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $24.9 million and $20.4 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units – The following table summarizes the time-based RSU and performance-based RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2018	1,925,364		$	16.49
Granted	713,247		18.45
Vested	(813,430	)	13.20
Forfeited (1)	(87,032	)	18.25
Balance at September 30, 2019	1,738,149		$	18.86

⁽¹⁾ Forfeitures on time-based RSUs are a result of terminations of employment, while forfeitures on performance-based RSUs are a result of failing to attain certain goals as outlined in our stock based compensation awards or termination of employment. Outstanding performance-based RSUs reflected in the table above are reported at target level of performance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we granted time-based RSU awards and performance-based RSU awards to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Our time-based RSUs consist of awards that settle in shares of Common Stock and have been awarded to our employees and members of our Board of Directors. Vesting of these RSUs is subject to continued employment with TMHC or an affiliate, or continued service on the Board of Directors, through the applicable vesting dates. Time-based RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over a three to four year period, based on the grant date. Time-based RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Additionally, we granted performance-based RSUs to certain employees of the Company. These awards will vest in full based on the achievement of certain performance goals over a three-year performance period, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the date the Compensation Committee certifies the applicable level of performance achieved and will be settled in shares of our Common Stock. The number of shares that may be issued in settlement of the performance-based RSUs to the award recipients may be greater or less than the target award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards.

Stock Options – The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 2018	3,239,995		$	18.87
Granted	985,885		18.08
Exercised	(754,880	)	17.23
Canceled/Forfeited	(116,220	)	19.78
Outstanding at September 30, 2019	3,354,780		$	18.98
Options exercisable at September 30, 2019	1,410,017		$	19.11

Options granted to employees vest and become exercisable ratably on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted to members of the Board of Directors vest and become exercisable ratably on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting of the options is subject to continued employment with TMHC or an affiliate, or continued service on the Board of Directors, through the applicable vesting dates, and options expire within ten years from the date of grant.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, we may engage in transactions with entities or persons that are affiliated with us. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had no transactions with related parties.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings, totaling 30.2 million shares. We used all of the net proceeds from these public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B common stock, held by certain of our former principal equityholders. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock we purchased was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold by the Company in the public offerings. In addition, in a series of transactions following each public offering, the Company purchased a total of 7.6 million shares of Class B common stock directly from such former principal equityholders at the same respective net purchase price per share in each public offering.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

We have adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, for valuation of financial instruments. ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 — Fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 — Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

The fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale is derived from negotiated rates with partner lending institutions. The fair value of derivative assets includes interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted MBS prices and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of the forward sales commitments based on quoted MBS prices. The fair value of our mortgage warehouse borrowings, loans payable and other borrowings, the borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our 364-Day Credit Agreement approximate carrying value due to their short term nature and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of our Senior Notes is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers in markets that are not active. There were no changes to or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2019, when compared to December 31, 2018.

The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:

		September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018

⁽¹⁾ Carrying value for Senior Notes, as presented, includes unamortized debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are not factored into the fair value calculation for the Senior Notes.

⁽²⁾Carrying value for the 2022 Senior Notes reflects the acquisition fair value adjustment, net of amortization, whereas the fair value reflects current market pricing.

Fair value measurements are used for inventories on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents the fair value for our inventories measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

(Dollars in thousands)		For the Year Ended December 31,
Description:	Level in Fair Value Hierarchy	2018
Inventories	3	$	5,545

At September 30, 2019, the fair value for such inventories was not determined as there were no events and circumstances that indicated their carrying value was not recoverable.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We have investments in a number of joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties, with ownership interests up to 50.0%. These entities are generally involved in real estate development, homebuilding and/or mortgage lending activities. Some of these joint ventures develop land for the sole use of the joint venture participants, including us, and others develop land for sale to both the joint venture participants and to unrelated builders. Our share of the joint venture profit relating to lots we purchase from the joint ventures is deferred until homes are delivered by us and title passes to a homebuyer.
