ARTICLE II.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF

THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

2.01 The Letters of Credit. The Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to issue standby letters of credit substantially in the form of Exhibit B, or in such other form as the Issuing Bank may approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as such form complies with the following provisions of this Section 2.01) (each an “LOC” and collectively the “LOCs”), and extend or increase the amount of LOCs, for the account of Pulte on any Business Day from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date; provided that (a) the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to issue, extend or increase the amount of any LOC if (i) the aggregate Credit Exposure (after giving effect to such issuance, extension or increase) would exceed the LOC Availability Amount (as defined in the Pricing Agreement) scheduled to be outstanding at any time during the period from the date of such issuance, extension or increase to the stated expiration date of such LOC; or (ii) such issuance, extension or increase would conflict with or cause the Issuing Bank to exceed any limit imposed by applicable law or any applicable requirement thereof; (b) each LOC shall be denominated in U.S. dollars and shall be in a face amount not less than $50,000 (or such lesser amount as the Issuing Bank may agree); (c) each LOC shall be payable only against sight drafts (and not time drafts); (d) no LOC shall have a scheduled expiration date (including all rights of Pulte or the beneficiary to require extension thereof) later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day prior to the date on which the aggregate Credit Exposure (including the subject LOC) would exceed the aggregate LOC Availability Amount scheduled to be outstanding at any time during such period if such subject LOC remained outstanding on such date; and (e) each LOC shall provide that such LOC shall expire on the tenth (10^th) Business Day following written notice by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary of the occurrence of a “Credit Event” with respect to Pulte consisting of a “Failure to Pay” or a “Bankruptcy” (as each such term is defined in the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.). Such written notification by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary of a Credit Event (which may be in electronic form) shall initially be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the form of Letter of Credit attached hereto as Exhibit B delivered to not fewer than two persons designated by the

beneficiary to receive such notification at such address (which may include an email address) as specified by the beneficiary, and shall be followed by not fewer than two subsequent written reminder notices delivered by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary (which may be in electronic form) of such initial notification prior to such expiry, absent prior written response from the beneficiary to request payment by the Issuing Bank under such LOC. An LOC may by its terms be automatically extendible annually; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such automatic extension if it has determined that such extension would not be permitted, or the Issuing Bank would have no obligation, at such time to issue such LOC as extended under the terms hereof, in which case the Issuing Bank shall notify the beneficiary thereof of its election not to extend such LOC (which the Issuing Bank agrees to do on and subject to the terms of Section 2.02(c)). LOCs may be issued for the benefit of any Subsidiary of Pulte; provided that Pulte shall be the account party with respect to any such LOC.

2.02 Issuance and Extensions and Drawings, Participations and Reimbursement with Respect to Letters of Credit.

(a) Request for Issuance. Pulte may from time to time request, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (given not later than 11:00 A.M.), that the Issuing Bank issue an LOC by delivering to the Issuing Bank (i) a written request substantially in the form of Exhibit C (an “LOC Application”) specifying the date on which such LOC is to be issued (which shall be a Business Day), the expiration date thereof, the Available Amount thereof and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; and (ii) such other documents as may be required pursuant to the Issuing Bank’s customary practices for the issuance of letters of credit.

If the requirements set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01 and in Article III are satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall issue the applicable LOC on the date requested in such LOC Application. Upon the issuance of an LOC, the Issuing Bank shall (A) deliver the original of such LOC to the beneficiary thereof or as Pulte shall otherwise direct and (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and furnish a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Issuing Bank may issue LOCs through any of its branches or Affiliates (whether domestic or foreign) that issue letters of credit.

(b) Request for Extension or Increase. Pulte may from time to time request, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (given not later than 11:00 A.M.), that the Issuing Bank extend the expiration date of an outstanding LOC or increase (or, with the consent of the beneficiary, decrease) the Available Amount of an outstanding LOC by delivering to the Issuing Bank a written request therefor. Any such request for an extension or increase shall for all purposes hereof (including for purposes of Section 2.02(a)) be treated as though Pulte had requested issuance of a replacement LOC (except that the Issuing Bank may, if it elects, issue a notice of extension or increase in lieu of issuing a new LOC in substitution for the outstanding LOC).

(c) Automatic Extensions. If any LOC shall provide for the automatic extension of the expiry date thereof unless the Issuing Bank gives notice that such expiry date shall not be extended, then the Issuing Bank shall allow such LOC to be extended unless it shall have received, at least five days prior to the date on which such notice of non-extension must be delivered under such LOC (or such shorter period acceptable to the Issuing Bank), (i) notice from the Required Banks (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf) stating that the conditions

precedent to the extension of such LOC have not been satisfied or (ii) notice from Pulte directing the Issuing Bank not to permit the extension of such LOC (and the Issuing Bank shall not permit any LOC to be automatically extended if it has received a timely notice of the type described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii)).

(d) Limitations on Issuance, Extension and Increase of LOCs. As between the Issuing Bank, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Banks, on the other hand, the Issuing Bank shall be justified and fully protected in issuing a proposed LOC, extending the expiration date or increasing the Available Amount of an outstanding LOC or permitting an outstanding LOC to be automatically extended if the Issuing Bank has not received notice that it is not authorized to issue, increase the Available Amount of or extend such LOC as described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02, in each case notwithstanding any subsequent notice to the Issuing Bank, any knowledge the Issuing Bank may have of a Default or of the failure of any condition specified the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01 or in Article III to be satisfied, or any other event, condition or circumstance whatsoever. The Issuing Bank may amend, modify or supplement LOCs or LOC Applications, or waive compliance with any condition of issuance, extension or payment, without the consent of, and without liability to, the Administrative Agent or any Bank, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement that extends the expiration date or increases the Available Amount of or the amount available to be drawn on an outstanding LOC shall be subject to Section 2.01.

(e) Letter of Credit Participating Interests. Concurrently with the issuance of each LOC, the Issuing Bank automatically shall be deemed, irrevocably and unconditionally, to have sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to each other Bank, and each other Bank automatically shall be deemed, irrevocably and unconditionally, severally to have purchased, acquired, accepted and assumed from the Issuing Bank, without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Issuing Bank, an undivided interest, in a proportion equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share, in all of the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations in, to or under such LOC, the related LOC Application, all reimbursement obligations with respect to such LOC, and all collateral, guarantees and other rights from time to time directly or indirectly securing or supporting the foregoing (such interest of each Bank being referred to herein as an “LOC Participating Interest”, it being understood that the LOC Participating Interest of the Issuing Bank is the interest not otherwise attributable to the LOC Participating Interests of the other Banks). On the date that any assignee becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.07, LOC Participating Interests in all outstanding LOCs held by the Bank from which such assignee acquired its interest hereunder shall be proportionately reallocated between such assignee and such assignor Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Bank hereby agrees that its obligation to participate in each LOC, its obligation to make the payments specified in Section 2.02(f) and the right of the Issuing Bank to receive such payments in the manner specified therein are each absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event, condition or circumstance whatever. The failure of any Bank to make any such payment shall not relieve any other Bank of its funding obligation hereunder on the date due, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to meet its funding obligations hereunder.

(f) Payment by Banks on Account of Unreimbursed Draws. If the Issuing Bank makes a payment under an LOC and is not reimbursed in full therefor in accordance with

Section 2.03, the Issuing Bank may notify the Administrative Agent thereof (which notice may be by telephone), and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify each Bank thereof (which notice may be by telephone promptly confirmed in writing). No later than the Administrative Agent’s close of business on the date such notice is given (if notice is given by 2:00 P.M. on a Business Day) or 10:00 A.M. on the following Business Day (if notice is given after 2:00 P.M. on a Business Day), each Bank will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment by the Issuing Bank. Amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be forthwith transferred, in immediately available funds, to the Issuing Bank. To the extent that any Bank fails to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such date, such Bank shall pay such amount on demand, together with interest, for the Issuing Bank’s own account, from the date such payment is due from such Bank to the Issuing Bank to the date of payment to the Issuing Bank (before and after judgment) at a rate per annum for each day (i) from the date such payment is due from such Bank to the Issuing Bank to the third Business Day thereafter equal to the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) thereafter equal to the Base Rate.

(g) Advances. The term “Advance” is used in this Agreement in accordance with the meanings set forth in this Section 2.02(g). The making of any payment by the Issuing Bank under an LOC is sometimes referred to herein as the making of an Advance by the Issuing Bank in the amount of such payment. The making of any payment by a Bank for the account of the Issuing Bank under Section 2.02(f) on account of an unreimbursed drawing on an LOC is sometimes referred to as the making of an Advance by such Bank. The making of an Advance by a Bank with respect to an unreimbursed drawing on an LOC shall reduce, by a like amount, the outstanding Advance of the Issuing Bank with respect to such unreimbursed drawing.

(h) LOC Reports. The Issuing Bank will furnish to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of each issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of an LOC (including the Available Amount and expiration date thereof), amendment to an LOC, cancellation of an LOC and payment on an LOC. The Administrative Agent will furnish to each Bank prior to the fifteenth Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report summarizing issuance, extension and expiration dates of LOCs issued or extended during the preceding calendar quarter and payments and reductions in Available Amounts during such calendar quarter on all LOCs.

2.03 Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) Pulte agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank (by making payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.07) in the amount of each Advance made by the Issuing Bank, such reimbursement to be made on the date such Advance is made by the Issuing Bank (but not earlier than one Business Day after notice of the drawing giving rise to such Advance is given to Pulte). Such reimbursement obligation shall be payable without further notice, protest or demand, all of which are hereby waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. To the extent such payment by Pulte is not timely made, such unpaid reimbursement obligation shall be treated as a matured loan extended to Pulte under this Agreement in respect of which interest shall accrue and be payable. Pulte agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Issuing Bank and the Banks that have funded their respective shares of such amount remaining unpaid by Pulte, on demand,

interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2% for each day from the date on which Pulte is to reimburse the Issuing Bank to the date such obligation is paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, the payment by Pulte of interest pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall not affect the calculation of fees under the Loan Documents.

(b) The obligation of Pulte to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any Advance made by the Issuing Bank, and the obligation of each Bank under Section 2.02(f) with respect thereto, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable LOC Application and any other applicable agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any LOC Application, any LOC or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “LOC Related Documents”);

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any obligation of Pulte or any other Person in respect of any LOC Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any LOC Related Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Pulte or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of an LOC (or any Person for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the LOC Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under an LOC proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under an LOC against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such LOC; provided that such payment is not the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

(vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral granted to secure any obligation of Pulte or any other Person in connection with any Loan Document; or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pulte.

(c) If any amount received by the Issuing Bank on account of any Advance shall be avoided, rescinded or otherwise returned or paid over by the Issuing Bank for any reason at any time, whether before or after the termination of this Agreement (or the Issuing Bank believes in good faith that such avoidance, rescission, return or payment is required, whether or not such matter has been adjudicated), each Bank will (except to the extent a corresponding amount received by such Bank on account of its Advance relating to the same payment on an LOC has

been avoided, rescinded or otherwise returned or paid over by such Bank), promptly upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, pay over to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of such amount, together with its Pro Rata Share of any interest or penalties payable with respect thereto.

2.04 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. Subject to the Pricing Agreement, Pulte may at any time, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of the Commitment Amounts; provided that each partial reduction (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their Commitment Amounts.

2.05 Fees. Pulte agrees to pay the fees set forth in the Pricing Agreement.

2.06 Increased Costs, Etc.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of, in each case after the date hereof, any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in LOCs or the making of Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.06, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.08 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Bank is organized or has its Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then Pulte agrees to pay, from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Pulte by such Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case after the date hereof, or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a result of or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to extend credit hereunder and other commitments of such type, then, within ten days after demand by such Bank or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, Pulte agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to issue or participate in LOCs hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any LOC.

A certificate as to such amounts submitted to Pulte by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Each Bank shall promptly notify Pulte and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation of Pulte to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or 2.06(b) above or pursuant to Section 2.08 (and, if any Bank has given notice of any such event and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Bank shall promptly so notify Pulte and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to Pulte of) any event described in the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06(a), 2.06(b) or 2.08 (and without limiting Section 2.06(c) above), if any Bank fails to notify Pulte of any event or circumstance that will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to Section 2.06(a), 2.06(b) or 2.08 within 90 days after such Bank obtains actual knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation from Pulte for any amount arising prior to the date that is 90 days before the date on which such Bank notifies Pulte of such event or circumstance.

2.07 Payments and Computations.

(a) Pulte shall make each payment hereunder irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off not later than 1:00 P.M. on the day when due, in U.S. dollars, to the Administrative Agent at such account as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably direct in immediately available funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter distribute to each Bank its portion of such payment in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Bank assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest on Advances when the Base Rate is determined by reference to DB’s prime rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or, if applicable, 366 days; all other computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days. All such computations shall be made for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of any payment of interest or fees.

2.08 Taxes.

(a) All payments by Pulte hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.07, free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Bank’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder, “Taxes”). If Pulte shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by Pulte shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Pulte and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Pulte shall make all such deductions and (iii) Pulte shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, Pulte shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (any of the foregoing, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Pulte shall indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for and hold each of them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08, imposed on or paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Any such indemnification payment shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Pulte shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder by or on behalf of Pulte through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of Pulte by a payor that is not a United States person, if Pulte determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, Pulte shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.08(d) and Section 2.08(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Sections 7701(a)(9) and 7701(a)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively.

(e) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Bank, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by Pulte (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and Pulte with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or (in the case of a Bank that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code) form W-8 (and, if such Bank delivers a form W-8, a certificate representing that such Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of Pulte and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Pulte (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of a Bank providing a form W-8, certifying that such Bank is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Bank provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes only for periods governed by such forms; provided that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, the Bank assignor was entitled to payments under Section 2.08(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Bank assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.08(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8 (and the related certificate described above), that the Bank reasonably considers to be confidential, the Bank shall give notice thereof to Pulte and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Bank which may lawfully do so has failed to provide Pulte with the appropriate form described in Section 2.08(e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under Section 2.08(e) above), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Sections 2.08(a) or 2.08(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided that should a Bank become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Pulte shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(g) Each Bank represents and warrants to Pulte that, as of the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, such Bank is entitled to receive payments hereunder from Pulte without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Pulte or with respect to which Pulte has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08, it shall pay over such refund to Pulte (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Pulte under this Section 2.08 with respect to the Taxes and Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided that Pulte, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Pulte (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Bank in the event the Administrative Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 2.08(h) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Pulte or any other Person.

2.09 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 8.07) (a) on account of obligations due and payable to such Bank hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such obligations due and payable to such Bank at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the obligations due and payable to all Banks hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the obligations due and payable to all Banks hereunder at such time obtained by all the Banks at such time or (b) on account of obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Bank hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such obligations owing to such Bank at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Banks hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Banks hereunder at such time obtained by all of the Banks at such time, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks such interests or participating interests in the obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each other Bank shall be rescinded and such other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Bank to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Banks) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. Pulte agrees that any Bank so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.09 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of Pulte in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

2.10 Use of Letters of Credit. The LOCs shall be used for general corporate purposes of Pulte and its Subsidiaries.

2.11 Replacement of Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank. At any time any Bank other than the Issuing Bank is an Affected Bank or a Nonconsenting Bank, Pulte may, at its sole expense (including the assignment fee specified in Section 8.07(a)) and effort, replace such Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank as a party to this Agreement with one or more other Banks and/or Eligible Assignees, and upon notice from Pulte such Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank shall assign pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and without recourse or warranty, its Commitment Amount, its LOC Participating Interests, its Advances and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such other Banks and/or Eligible Assignees for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Advances so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, such Affected Bank’s or Nonconsenting Bank’s ratable share of all accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.05 and all other obligations owed to such Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank shall be required to make any such assignment if, prior to its receipt of the notice from Pulte referred to in the foregoing sentence, as a result of a waiver or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Pulte to require such assignment cease to apply, and (ii) no Nonconsenting Bank shall be required to make any such assignment if at the time of any such proposed assignment, any Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

2.12 Certain Provisions Relating to the Issuing Bank and LOCs.

(a) LOC Applications. The representations, warranties and covenants by Pulte under, and the rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank under, any LOC Application relating to any LOC are in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, representations, warranties and covenants by Pulte under, and rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank and the other Banks under, this Agreement and applicable law. Pulte acknowledges and agrees that all rights of the Issuing Bank under any LOC Application shall inure to the benefit of each Bank to the extent of its LOC Participating Interest in and Advances in connection with the applicable LOC as fully as if such Bank were a party to such LOC Application. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any LOC Application, this Agreement shall prevail.

(b) Certain Provisions. The Issuing Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities to the Administrative Agent or any Bank except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or responsibilities on the part of the Issuing Bank shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist. The duties and responsibilities of the Issuing Bank to the Banks and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and the Issuing Bank shall not have a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person. The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document or LOC, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to ascertain, inquire or give any notice to the Administrative Agent or any Bank relating to (i) the performance or observance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of Pulte, (ii) the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Pulte or any other Person, or (iii) the existence of any Default. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Administrative Agent or any Bank with any notices, reports or information of any

nature, whether in its possession now or hereafter, except for such notices, reports and other information expressly required by this Agreement to be so furnished. The Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the execution, delivery, effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or adequacy of this Agreement or any Loan Document.

(c) Administration. The Issuing Bank may rely upon any notice or other communication of any nature (written, electronic or oral, including telephone conversations and transmissions through the Issuing Bank’s remote access system, whether or not such notice or other communication is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the proper party or parties, and the Issuing Bank shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any Person giving such notice or other communication. The Issuing Bank may consult with legal counsel (including its in-house counsel or in-house or other counsel for Pulte), independent public accountants and any other experts selected by it from time to time, and the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Whenever the Issuing Bank shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with respect to Pulte, the Administrative Agent or any Bank, such matter may be established by a certificate of Pulte, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, and the Issuing Bank may conclusively rely upon such certificate. The Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have any knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from a Bank, the Administrative Agent or Pulte referring to this Agreement, describing such Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

(d) Indemnification of Issuing Bank by Banks. Each Bank hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Issuing Bank and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Pulte and without limitation of the obligations of Pulte to do so), in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (other than in-house counsel) for the Issuing Bank or such other Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Issuing Bank or such other Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such, or such other Person, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any LOC, any transaction from time to time contemplated hereby or thereby, or any transaction financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any LOC, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or such other Person, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Issuing Bank in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its commitments and the obligations owing to it, the Issuing Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and each other Loan Document as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Issuing Bank, and the term “Banks” and like terms shall include the

Issuing Bank in its individual capacity as such. The Issuing Bank and its Affiliates may, without liability to account to any Person, make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire debt or equity interests in, act as trustee under indentures of, act as agent under other credit facilities for, and engage in any other business with, Pulte and any stockholder, Subsidiary or Affiliate of Pulte, as though the Issuing Bank were not the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Neither Pulte nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or in breach of any such contract, loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other instrument, the violation or breach of which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.03 Approvals. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by Pulte of any Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

4.10 Investment Company Act. Neither Pulte nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

ARTICLE V.

COVENANTS

So long as any Advance or any other obligation of Pulte under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any LOC shall be outstanding or the Issuing Bank shall have any commitment to issue any LOC:

5.01 Restriction on Creation of Secured Debt. Pulte will not at any time create, incur, assume or guarantee, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or guarantee, any Secured Debt (including the creation of Secured Debt by the securing of existing debt) without first making effective provision (and Pulte covenants that in

such case it and its Restricted Subsidiaries will first make or cause to be made effective provision) whereby the indebtedness and obligations of Pulte to the Banks and the Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all other debt thereby secured, for so long as any such other obligations and debt shall be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing covenants shall not be applicable to Secured Debt secured solely by one or more of the following Liens:

(a) Any Liens on model homes, homes held for sale, homes that are under contract for sale, contracts for the sale of homes, land (improved or unimproved), manufacturing plants, warehouses or office buildings and fixtures and equipment located thereat or thereon;

(b) Any Lien on property existing at the time of the acquisition thereof by Pulte or a Subsidiary, which Lien secures obligations assumed by Pulte or a Subsidiary;

(c) Any Lien existing on the property of a corporation or firm at the time such corporation or firm is merged into or consolidated with Pulte or a Subsidiary;

(d) Any conditional sales agreement or other title retention agreement with respect to any property acquired by Pulte or a Subsidiary;

(e) Any Lien to secure debt of a Subsidiary to Pulte or to another Subsidiary wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Pulte; or

(f) Any amendment, restatement, supplement, renewal, replacement, extension or refunding (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements, renewals, replacements, extensions, or refundings) in whole or in part of any Secured Debt secured by any Lien referred to in the foregoing subparagraphs (b) through (e), inclusive; provided, however, that the principal amount of the Secured Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount outstanding immediately prior to such amendment, restatement, supplement, renewal, replacement or refunding and that the Lien securing such Secured Debt shall be limited to the property which, immediately prior to such amendment, restatement, supplement, renewal, replacement or refunding secured such Secured Debt and conditions to such property.

Notwithstanding subparagraphs (b) and (c) above, the creation, incurrence, assumption or guarantee of any Secured Debt described therein shall not be permitted (i) if such Secured Debt was created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed in contemplation of the event or transaction referred to in such subparagraphs or (ii) if the Lien securing such Secured Debt attaches to or affects property owned by Pulte or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to the event or transaction referred to in said subparagraphs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01, Pulte and any one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or guarantee Secured Debt if immediately thereafter the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Debt created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed by Pulte or any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding as of the date of determination (calculated without duplication and excluding Secured Debt permitted to be created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed pursuant to subparagraph (a) through (f), inclusive, above and any Secured Debt in relation to which the securities issued pursuant to the Indenture have been equally and ratably secured) and (ii) all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and

Leaseback Transactions as of the date of determination would not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (excluding Attributable Debt in respect of a Sale and Lease Transaction as to which the net proceeds of the property sold or transferred are applied as provided in clause (iii) of Section 5.02).

5.02 Restriction on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Pulte will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale or Leaseback Transaction, unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Pulte shall promptly give notice of such sale or transfer to the Administrative Agent; (ii) the net proceeds of such sale or transfer are at least equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by a Board resolution, a copy of which has been delivered by Pulte to the Administrative Agent) of the property which is the subject of such sale or transfer; and (iii) Pulte or such Subsidiary shall apply, within 365 days after the effective date of such sale or transfer, or shall have committed within one year after such effective date to apply, an amount at least equal to the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the property which is the subject of such sale or transfer to (A) the retirement or optional redemption of the securities issued pursuant to the Indenture, (B) the repayment of other Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture) owing by Pulte or any Guarantor (as defined in the Indenture), or (C) the purchase of property by Pulte or such Subsidiary substantially similar to the property that was the subject of such sale or transfer or (D) in part to such redemption, in part to such repayment and in part to such purchase of property; provided, however, that if Pulte commits to apply an amount at least equal to the net proceeds of a sale or transfer to the retirement or redemption of the securities issued pursuant to the Indenture, the repayment of other debt or the purchase of property, such commitment shall be made in a written instrument delivered by Pulte to the Administrative Agent and shall require Pulte to so apply said amount within 18 months after the effective date of such sale or transfer, and it shall constitute a breach of the provisions of this Section 5.02 if Pulte shall fail so to apply said amount in satisfaction of such commitment; and, provided, further, that in lieu of applying an amount equal to all or part of such net proceeds to such retirement, redemption, repayment or purchase of property, Pulte may, within one year after such sale or transfer, deliver securities (other than securities made the basis of a reduction in any mandatory sinking fund payment under the terms of the securities of any series issued pursuant to that Indenture) for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of securities pursuant to clause (A) above by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of securities so delivered.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02, Pulte and any one or more of its Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if immediately thereafter the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Debt outstanding as of the date of the determination (excluding Secured Debt permitted to be created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed pursuant to subparagraph (a) through (f), inclusive, of Section 5.01, and any Secured Debt in relation to which the securities issued pursuant to the Indenture have been equally and ratably secured) and (ii) all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (excluding Attributable Debt in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction as to which the net proceeds of the property sold or transferred are applied as provided in clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 5.02) as of the date of determination would not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

5.03 Pari Passu Ranking. Pulte will ensure that at all times the claims of the Banks, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent against it under the Loan Documents will rank at least pari passu with the claims of all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, except for claims that are preferred by any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other similar laws of general application.

5.04 Corporate Existence. Pulte will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of Pulte and each Subsidiary; provided, however, that Pulte shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if Pulte shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Pulte and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Issuing Bank, the Banks or the Administrative Agent hereunder.

5.05 Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. None of Pulte and any Restricted Subsidiaries shall consolidate or merge into, or sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person unless:

(1) the Person is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or similar entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

(2) if the transaction is with Pulte, the Person assumes all the obligations of Pulte under this Agreement;

(3) immediately after the transaction no Event of Default shall exist, provided, that this clause 5.05(3) shall not restrict or be applicable to a consolidation or merger into, or liquidation, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Pulte or any Restricted Subsidiary with or into another Subsidiary that is, or concurrent with the completion of the transaction becomes, wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Pulte; and

(4) an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the conditions set forth in the preceding clauses (1) through (3) above have been met.

If, upon any such consolidation of Pulte with or merger of Pulte into any other corporation, or upon any sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition of the property of Pulte substantially as an entirety to any other Person in accordance with Section 5.05, any property or assets of Pulte would thereupon become subject to any Lien, then unless such Lien could be created pursuant to Section 5.01 without equally and ratably securing the indebtedness under this Agreement, Pulte, prior to or simultaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition, will, as to such property or assets, secure the indebtedness under this Agreement equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligation or liability which upon such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition is to become secured as to such property or assets by such Lien.

ARTICLE VII.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.01 Authorization and Action. Each Bank (in its capacity as a Bank) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Banks (or all Banks where unanimity is required), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give each Bank prompt notice of each notice given to it by Pulte pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

7.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Pulte), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statement, warranty or representation (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents (except for statements, warranties and representations made to Pulte in the Pricing Agreement); (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of Pulte or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Pulte; (d) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

7.03 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, its LOC Participating Interests (as contemplated under Section 2.02) and its Advances, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative

Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, Pulte, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of Pulte or any such Subsidiary, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

7.04 Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on the financial statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

(a) Indemnification. Each Bank severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by Pulte) from and against such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) payable by Pulte under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Pulte. The failure of any Bank to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any amount required to be paid by the Banks to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its Pro Rata Share of such amount, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Bank hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Bank contained in this Section 7.04(a) shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

7.05 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and Pulte. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint, with the prior written approval of Pulte (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as there then exists no Event of Default, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent,

which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 7.05 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45^th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Banks shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

WHEREAS, LOCs with a total amount available for drawing thereunder of $ are outstanding at the date hereof;

WHEREAS, Advances made to Pulte by the Assignor under the Facility Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $ are outstanding at the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of a portion of its Commitment thereunder in an amount equal to $ (the “Assigned Amount”), together with a corresponding portion of its outstanding LOC Participating Interests, and Advances, if any, and the Assignee proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Facility Agreement.

2. Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent of the Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Facility Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, including the outstanding LOC Participating Interests and the amount of the Advances, if any, outstanding at the date hereof. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee and the Administrative Agent and the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as of the date

hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Bank under the Facility Agreement with an Commitment Amount (in addition to any Commitment Amount theretofore held by it) equal to the Assigned Amount, and (ii) the Commitment Amount of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor shall be released from its obligations under the Facility Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the Assignee. The assignment provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor.

3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof the amount heretofore agreed between them.¹ The parties hereto agree that fees accrued to the date hereof in respect of the Assigned Amount are for the account of the Assignor and fees accruing from the date hereof are for the account of the Assignee.

The Assignee acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent appraisal of the business, affairs and financial condition of Pulte and its Subsidiaries.

6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch

as Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

The Banks party to the Facility

Agreement defined below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Pulte Homes, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) dated as of June 23, 2009, among the Company, the Banks and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as the Issuing Bank and as Administrative Agent. This opinion letter is furnished to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iv) of the Facility Agreement. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in the opinion letter are defined as set forth in the Facility Agreement.

In so acting, we have examined the Facility Agreement and the Pricing Agreement (together, the “Facility Documents”), and we have considered such matters of law and fact and relied upon such certificates and other information furnished to us as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for our opinions set forth below. We have also relied, as to matters involving facts, upon representations made by the Company in the Facility Documents, certificates of officers of the Company and certificates of government officials.

The Law (as defined in paragraph (h) below) covered by the opinions expressed in this opinion letter is limited to the Federal Law of the United States and the Law of the State of Michigan. With your permission, we have assumed that insofar as the laws of any jurisdiction, other than the laws described above, may be applicable to the matters addressed in this opinion, such laws are identical to the laws of the State of Michigan. No opinion is rendered as to whether a court will give effect to the parties’ choice of New York law (or the law of any other specific jurisdiction) as the governing law of the Facility Documents.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan.

2. The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each Facility Document.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each Facility Document have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

4. Each Facility Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

5. Each Facility Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and is subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

6. No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United States of America or the State of Michigan is required on the part of the Company for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Facility Documents.

7. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Facility Documents do not (a) violate any provision of the Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (b) violate any Law which, to our Actual Knowledge (as defined below), is applicable to the Company, (c) to our Actual Knowledge, based solely on a certificate of officers of the Company, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitration award applicable to the Company, or (d) breach or constitute a default under any agreement listed as an Exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, or any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K, of the Company.

8. We hereby confirm to you that, to our Actual Knowledge, based solely on a certificate of officers of the Company, there are no actions or proceedings against the Company, pending or overtly threatened in writing, before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which (i) seek to affect the enforceability of any Facility Document, or (ii) except as set forth in the Facility Documents or in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, or any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9. Based solely on a certificate of officers of the Company, and without any independent investigation or verification, the Company is not an “investment company” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following (in addition to the qualifications and other limitations set forth above):

(a) The enforceability of the Facility Documents, and the rights and remedies set forth in the Facility Documents and the compliance with law of the execution, delivery and

performance of the Facility Documents are subject to established and evolving principles of equity, commercial reasonableness and conscionability, and to the limitations imposed by applicable law on (i) the enforceability of purported waivers of rights and defenses, (ii) the granting of rights, remedies, covenants or security in excess of those available under applicable law, and (iii) the exercise and availability of remedies and defenses generally, including the availability or non availability of the remedy of specific performance.

(b) We express no opinion with respect to the legality, validity, binding nature, enforceability or compliance with laws or regulations of any terms in the Facility Documents with respect to the rate of interest, late charges, increases in interest rates upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Facility Documents or when the Company is in default, prepayment premiums or matters governed by usury laws in general or with respect to the effect of any laws relating to usury or permissible rates of interest in the event, and to the extent, that the interest rates specified under the Facility Documents calculated pursuant to Michigan usury laws (and which include in such calculations all amounts that are deemed to be interest under Michigan law, regardless of how they are denominated in the Facility Documents) exceed (i) a simple annual interest rate of 25% (the Michigan criminal usury limit) on the amounts actually advanced and from time to time outstanding, or (ii) a simple annual interest rate of 10% on delinquent installments of interest. In addition, we express no opinion with respect to the legality, validity, binding nature or enforceability or compliance with laws or regulations of any terms in the Facility Documents with respect to compounding of interest or interest on interest except to the extent that payment of interest on due but unpaid installments of interest would be permitted by MCLA § 438.101.

(c) No opinion is given with respect to any late charges, penalties, forfeitures, liquidated or other pre-measured damages or limitations thereon or any prepayment premiums.

(d) We express no opinion as to the compliance with law or the enforceability of cumulative remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Banks to the extent they would compensate the Administrative Agent or the Banks in excess of the obligations of the Company.

(e) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions of the Facility Documents, or any provisions exculpating the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any of their respective representatives from any liability, in each case insofar as such provisions might require indemnification or exculpation with respect to any violations of securities laws or relating to any litigation by any party determined adversely to any party other than the Company. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision exculpating the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any of their respective representatives as to any loss, cost or expense arising out of any violation by any party other than the Company of any of that party’s duties, the Facility Documents, general principles of equity or public policy.

(f) We express no opinion as to whether courts of any jurisdiction would enforce a waiver of objection to jurisdiction or venue or an objection based on forum non conveniens or any other provisions relating to the operations of courts, court rules, service of process, witnesses at a trial, discovery, rules of evidence or the conduct of litigation in such court.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Facility Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may be limited to recovering only reasonable expenses with respect to enforcement or collection of the obligations under the Facility Documents.

(h) For purposes of this opinion letter, “Law” means the statutes, and the judicial and administrative decisions, and the rules and regulations of the governmental agencies of the applicable jurisdiction, but excluding the statutes and ordinances, the administrative decisions, and the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the federal, state or regional level), and judicial decisions to the extent that they deal with any of the foregoing.

(i) We have only considered the applicability of Laws that a lawyer in the State of Michigan exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Company, the transactions described in the Facility Documents, or both. We disclaim any opinion with respect to specialized laws that are not customarily covered in opinion letters of this kind, such as tax, securities (except with respect to the opinion given in paragraph 9 above), insolvency, antitrust, pension, employee benefit, environmental, intellectual property, bank regulatory, insurance, labor, and health and safety laws.

(j) The term “Actual Knowledge” means the actual conscious awareness of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, who constitute the only attorneys in this firm who were involved in the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents, without any independent inquiry or search of public records, court dockets or files within this firm.

At the request of our client, this opinion letter is provided to you by us in our capacity as counsel to the Company and may not be relied upon by any Person (other than you and such assignees of yours as are permitted under the Facility Agreement) for any purpose, or by you other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Facility Agreement, without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

This opinion letter speaks only as of its date. We do not undertake any obligation to advise you or any other party of changes of law or fact that occur after the date of this opinion letter — even though the change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or an information confirmation in this opinion letter.

Very truly yours,

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AND ▇▇▇▇ LLP
