<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Sections&nbsp;561-571 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, directors
and officers of a Michigan corporation may be entitled to indemnification by
the corporation against judgments, expenses, fines and amounts paid by the
director or officer in settlement of claims brought against them by third
persons or by or in the right of the corporation if those directors and
officers acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Articles of Incorporation provide that our directors shall not be
personally liable to Pulte or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach
of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty. However, these Articles do not eliminate or
limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (i)&nbsp;a breach of
the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii)
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violation of law; (iii)&nbsp;a violation of Section&nbsp;551(1) of the Michigan
Business Corporation Act; (iv)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit; or (v)&nbsp;an act or omission occurring before the
effective date of the Article. In addition, our Bylaws generally provide that,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of
the corporation), including a shareholders&#146; derivative action, by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Pulte or is or
was serving at the request of Pulte as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have obtained Directors&#146; and Officers&#146; liability insurance. The policy
provides for $100&nbsp;million in coverage including prior acts dating to our
inception and liabilities under the Securities Act.

registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration
Fee&#148; table in the effective Registration Statement;

the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:10%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
by Pulte pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:10%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Pulte undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Pulte&#146;s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid
by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Sections 561-571 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, directors
and officers of a Michigan corporation may be entitled to indemnification by
the corporation against judgments, expenses, fines and amounts paid by the
director or officer in settlement of claims brought against them by third
persons or by or in the right of the corporation if those directors and
officers acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that our directors shall not be
personally liable to Pulte or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach
of the director's fiduciary duty. However, these Articles do not eliminate or
limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (i) a breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii)
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violation of law; (iii) a violation of Section 551(1) of the Michigan
Business Corporation Act; (iv) a transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit; or (v) an act or omission occurring before the
effective date of the Article. In addition, our Bylaws generally provide that,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of
the corporation), including a shareholders' derivative action, by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Pulte or is or
was serving at the request of Pulte as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
We have obtained Directors' and Officers' liability insurance. The policy
provides for $100 million in coverage including prior acts dating to our
inception and liabilities under the Securities Act.

Power of Attorney (included after Pulte's signature contained
on page 6 of this Registration Statement).
Pulte undertakes that it has submitted or will submit the Plan and any
amendment to the Plan to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely
manner and has made or will make all changes by the IRS in order to qualify the
Plan.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) Pulte hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
by Pulte pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
4
Table of Contents
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
(b) Pulte undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Pulte's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid
by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
