PXXXXX DODGE CORPORATION SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE PREFERRED SHARES On Introduction Effective February 424, 19982009, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Pxxxxx Dodge Corporation (the "“Board”) of Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company") ”), adopted a rights plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding Common Shareshare of common stock, par value $6.25 0.25 per share, of the Company (the "Common Shares"Stock”). The following dividend is a summary payable on March 6, 2009 to the stockholders of record as of the terms close of the Rights. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one two-hundredth of a Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Sharebusiness on March 6, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Preferred Shares"), at a price of $ 210 per one two-hundredth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price")2009. The description and specific terms of the Rights are set forth contained in a Rights Agreement, dated as of February 524, 1998, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Rights Agreement")2009, between the Company and The Chase Manhattan BankMellon Investor Services LLC, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent"Plan”). InitiallyFollowing is a summary of the Rights Plan. Please note, however, that this description is only a summary, and is not complete, and should be read together with the entire Rights Agreement, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated on or about February 25, 2009. Upon written request, the Company will provide a copy of the Rights Agreement free of charge to any of its stockholders. The Board adopted the Rights Plan in an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect against the possible limitation on our ability to use net operating loss carry-overs, capital loss carry-overs, general business credit carry-overs, alternative minimum tax credit carry-overs and foreign tax credit carry-overs, as well as any “net unrealized built-in losses” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, of the Company (collectively, “Tax Benefits”) to reduce potential future federal and state income tax obligations. We have experienced and continue to experience substantial operating losses, and under the Internal Revenue Code and rules adopted by the Internal Revenue Service, and certain states, the Company may “carryforward” these losses in certain circumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus reduce the Company's federal and state income tax liability. To the extent that the Tax Benefits do not otherwise become limited, we believe that the Company will be attached able to all Common Share certificates representing shares then outstandingcarry forward a significant amount of the Tax Benefits and therefore these Tax Benefits could be a substantial asset to the Company. However, and no separate certificates representing if we experience an “Ownership Change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Rights ("Right Certificates") Internal Revenue Code, the Company's ability to use the Tax Benefits will be distributedsubstantially limited or delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset. The Rights will separate from the Common Shares and Plan is intended to act as a "Distribution Date" will occur upon the earlier deterrent to occur of (i) ten days following the time (the "Stock Acquisition Time") of a public announcement or notice to the Company that a any person or group acquiring 4.9% or more of affiliated or associated persons our outstanding Common Stock (an "Acquiring Person") acquired, or obtained without the right to acquire, beneficial ownership approval of 20the Board. Stockholders who own 4.9% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Shares of the Company and (ii) ten business days (or, if determined by the Board of Directors, a specified or unspecified later date) following the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer which, if successful, would cause the bidder to own 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares. The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Shares, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued after February 24, 1998, upon transfer or new issuance of the Common Shares, will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any of the Common Share certificates outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate Right Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only Common Shares issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on February 24, 2008, unless earlier redeemed 2009 will not trigger the Rights Plan so long as they do not (i) acquire additional shares of Common Stock representing (a) one-half of one percent (0.5%) or exchanged more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (if they have continuously owned 5.0% or more since the date of the Rights Plan) or (b) such number of additional shares of Common Stock as long as the aggregate shares owned by the Company as described below. In the event that, after the such stockholder is less than 5.0% (if they have not continuously owned 5% or more) or (ii) fall under 4.9% ownership of Common Stock Acquisition Time, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction (except certain transactions with a person who became an Acquiring Person as a result of a tender offer described and then re-acquire shares that in the next succeeding paragraph) or 50aggregate equal 4.9% or more of its assets, cash flow or earning power is sold, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of common shares of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction would have a market value (as defined Common Stock. A 4.9% limit has been included in the Rights Agreement) Plan because the tests for an “Ownership Change” under Section 382 are measured in part by changes in the ownership by stockholders owning 5% or more of two times the Purchase Price our Common Stock. The Rights Plan does not exempt any future acquisitions of the RightCommon Stock by Acquiring Persons. In the event thatThe Board may, after the Stock Acquisition Timein its sole discretion, the Company were the surviving corporation of a merger and its Common Shares were changed or exchanged, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of common shares of the Company having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In the event that a exempt any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person) will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, a reduction in the Purchase Price, Preferred Shares, other equity securities of the Company, debt securities of the Company, other property or a combination thereof) having a market value (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of two times the Purchase Price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person (or an affiliate, associate or transferee thereof) will be null and void. A person will not be from being deemed an Acquiring Person if the Board of Directors for purposes of the Company Rights Plan if it determines that the acquisition by such person or group became an Acquiring Person inadvertently and such person will not jeopardize tax benefits or group promptly divests itself of a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such person or group is no longer an Acquiring Person. 2 The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) otherwise in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Shares, (ii) upon the grant to holders of Preferred Shares of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Shares or convertible securities at less than the current market price of Preferred Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends or dividends payable in Preferred Shares) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). The number of Rights and number of Preferred Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, combination or stock dividend on the Common Shares. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional Preferred Shares will be issued (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one two-hundredth of a Preferred Share which may, upon the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts) and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Shares on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise’s best interests.

The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common SharesStock, (ii) new Common Share Stock certificates issued after February 24January 26, 19982000, upon transfer or transfer, new issuance or reissuance of the Common SharesStock, will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any of the Common Share Stock book-entries or certificates outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Common Shares Stock represented by such certificatecertificate or book-entry. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate Right Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. Except in connection with issuance of Common Stock pursuant to employee stock plans, options and certain convertible securities, and except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only shares of Common Shares Stock issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on February 24January 26, 20082010, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below. In the event that, after the Stock Acquisition Time, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction (except certain transactions with a person who became an Acquiring Person as a result of a tender offer described in the next succeeding paragraph) or 50% or more of its assets, cash flow or earning power is sold, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common shares stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction would have a market value (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of two times the Purchase Price of the Right. In the event that, after the Stock Acquisition Time, the Company were the surviving corporation of a merger and its Common Shares Stock were changed or exchanged, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of common shares of Common Stock of the Company having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person) will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of shares of Common Shares Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, a reduction in the Purchase Price, Preferred SharesStock, other equity securities of the Company, debt securities of the Company, other property or a combination thereof) having a market value (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of two times the Purchase Price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person (or an affiliate, associate or transferee thereof) will be null and void. A person will not be an Acquiring Person if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that such person or group became an Acquiring Person inadvertently and such person or group promptly divests itself of a sufficient number of shares of Common Shares Stock so that such person or group is no longer an Acquiring Person. 2 The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred Shares Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred SharesStock, (ii) upon the grant to holders of Preferred Shares Stock of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Shares Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market price of Preferred Shares Stock or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of Preferred Shares Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends or dividends payable in Preferred SharesStock) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). The number of Rights and number of shares of Preferred Shares Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, combination or stock dividend on the Common SharesStock. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional shares of Preferred Shares Stock will be issued (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one twoone-hundredth thousandth of a share of Preferred Share Stock which may, upon the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts) and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Shares Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise. At any time prior to the earlier of the Stock Acquisition Time and the Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement), the Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.00l per Right (the "Redemption Price"). Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $.001 Redemption Price. At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such Person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights beneficially owned by such Person which have become void), in whole or part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right (subject to adjustment). The Company, at its option, may substitute one-thousandth (subject to adjustment) of a share of Preferred Stock (or other series of substantially similar preferred stock of the Company) for each share of Common Stock to be exchanged. Each share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will have a minimum preferential dividend of $10 per year, but will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, a dividend of 1000 times the dividend declared on the shares of Common Stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a minimum liquidation payment of $l000 per share, but will be entitled to receive an aggregate liquidation payment equal to 1000 times the payment made per share of Common Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have one thousand votes, voting together with the shares of Common Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1000 times the amount and type of consideration received per share of Common Stock. The rights of the shares of Preferred Stock as to dividends and liquidation, and in the event of mergers and consolidations, are protected by anti-dilution provisions.

PXXXXX DODGE CORPORATION SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE PREFERRED SHARES On February 4, 1998, the Board of Directors of Pxxxxx Dodge Corporation (the "Company") declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (a "Right") for each outstanding Common Share, par value $6.25 per share, of the Company (the "Common Shares"). The following is a summary of the terms of the Rights. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one two-hundredth of a Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Share, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Preferred Shares"), at a price of $ 210 per one two-hundredth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of February 5, 1998, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent"). Initially, the Rights will be attached to all Common Share certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate certificates representing the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Common Shares and a "Distribution Date" will occur upon the earlier to occur of (i) ten days following the time (the "Stock Acquisition Time") of a public announcement or notice to the Company that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company and (ii) ten business days (or, if determined by the Board of Directors, a specified or unspecified later date) following the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer which, if successful, would cause the bidder to own 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares. The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Shares, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued after February 24, 1998, upon transfer or new issuance of the Common Shares, will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any of the Common Share certificates outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate Right Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only Common Shares issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on February 24, 2008, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below. In the event that, after the Stock Acquisition Time, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction (except certain transactions with a person who became an Acquiring Person as a result of a tender offer described in the next succeeding paragraph) or 50% or more of its assets, cash flow or earning power is sold, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of common shares of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction would have a market value (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of two times the Purchase Price of the Right. In the event that, after the Stock Acquisition Time, the Company were the surviving corporation of a merger and its Common Shares were changed or exchanged, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of common shares of the Company having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person) will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, a reduction in the Purchase Price, Preferred Shares, other equity securities of the Company, debt securities of the Company, other property or a combination thereof) having a market value (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of two times the Purchase Price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person (or an affiliate, associate or transferee thereof) will be null and void. A person will not be an Acquiring Person if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that such person or group became an Acquiring Person inadvertently and such person or group promptly divests itself of a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such person or group is no longer an Acquiring Person. 2 The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Shares, (ii) upon the grant to holders of Preferred Shares of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Shares or convertible securities at less than the current market price of Preferred Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends or dividends payable in Preferred Shares) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). The number of Rights and number of Preferred Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, combination or stock dividend on the Common Shares. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional Preferred Shares will be issued (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one two-hundredth of a Preferred Share which may, upon the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts) and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Shares on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.Signature
