<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)&nbsp;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 Article&nbsp;VIII of the Articles of Incorporation. In
addition, our Bylaws generally provide that, Pulte shall, to the fullest extent authorized or
permitted by the Michigan Business Corporation Act, (a)&nbsp;indemnify any person, and his or her heirs,
personal representatives, executors, administrators and legal representatives, who was, is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director or officer 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 (collectively, &#147;Covered Matters&#148;); and (b)&nbsp;pay or reimburse the reasonable
expenses incurred by such person and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives in connection with any Covered Matter in advance of final disposition of such
Covered Matter. The Corporation may provide such other indemnification to directors, officers,
employees and agents by insurance, contract or otherwise as is permitted by law and authorized by
the Board of Directors.


<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
million in coverage including prior acts dating to our inception and liabilities under the
Securities Act.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective Registration
Statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>Provided, however</U>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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:3%; font-size: 10pt">&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.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#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 offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


<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, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person 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, the registrant 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
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 Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation. In
addition, our Bylaws generally provide that, Pulte shall, to the fullest extent authorized or
permitted by the Michigan Business Corporation Act, (a) indemnify any person, and his or her heirs,
personal representatives, executors, administrators and legal representatives, who was, is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director or officer 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 (collectively, "Covered Matters"); and (b) pay or reimburse the reasonable
expenses incurred by such person and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives in connection with any Covered Matter in advance of final disposition of such
Covered Matter. The Corporation may provide such other indemnification to directors, officers,
employees and agents by insurance, contract or otherwise as is permitted by law and authorized by
the Board of Directors.
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.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant 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;
4
Table of Contents
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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.
(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) The undersigned registrant undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant'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, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person 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, the registrant 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
