•

Interest

Century Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above; provided, however, that if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, Additional Interest will accrue on this Security at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the Registration Default (increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after each subsequent 90-day period that occurs until all Registration defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00%; provided, that additional interest will not accrue under more than one Registration Default at any one time) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. The Issuer will provide written notice to the Trustee of any Registration Defaults and the amount of Additional Interest due and owing on the next interest payment date. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2017. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 15, 2016. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any payment date with respect to the Securities is not on a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same effect as if made on the relevant payment date, without additional interest. The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security plus 1.0% per annum, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

 

•

Method of Payment

The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the May 1 and November 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Issuer will make all payments on the Holder’s Securities in accordance with those instructions. Otherwise, payments on the Securities will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the address indicated on the register maintained by the Registrar for the Securities.

Paying Agent and Registrar

Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest or a Default in complying with Section 5.01 of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities and the Security Guarantees.
