RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10(p)
Pursuant to the provisions of the Pulte Homes, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
the employee named in the Grant Acceptance (the “Holder”) has been granted a restricted stock award
(the “Award”) of the number of shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of Pulte Homes, Inc., a
Michigan corporation (the “Company”) set forth in the Grant Acceptance (the “Shares”), subject to
adjustment as provided herein and in the Plan. The Award is subject to the restrictions, terms and
conditions set forth below. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Plan. This Agreement, together with the Grant Acceptance, constitute the
Restricted Stock Agreement which is made and entered into as of the grant date set forth in the
Grant Acceptance (the “Grant Date”).
1. Award Subject to Acceptance of Agreement. The Award shall be null and void unless
the Holder shall (a) accept this Agreement in the manner prescribed by the Company and (b) if
requested by the Company, execute and return one or more irrevocable stock powers to facilitate the
transfer to the Company (or its assignee or nominee) of the Shares subject to the Award if Shares
are forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof or if required under applicable laws or regulations. As
soon as practicable after the Holder has accepted this Agreement in accordance with the procedures
prescribed by the Company and, if requested by the Company, such stock power or powers, and
returned the same to the Company, the Company shall cause to be issued in the Holder’s name the
total number of Shares subject to the Award.
2. Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder shall have the right to vote the Shares
subject to the Award and to receive dividends and other distributions thereon unless and until such
Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that a dividend or other
distribution with respect to such Shares (including, without limitation, a stock dividend or stock
split), other than a regular cash dividend, shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares
with respect to which such dividend or other distribution was made (and if the Holder shall have
received such dividend or other distribution, the Holder shall deliver the same to the Company and
shall, if requested by the Company, execute and return one or more irrevocable stock powers related
thereto).
3. Custody and Delivery of Shares. The Shares subject to the Award shall be held by
the Company or by a custodian in book entry form, with restrictions on the Shares duly noted, until
such Award shall have vested pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and as soon thereafter as practicable,
subject to Section 5.3 hereof, the vested Shares shall be delivered to the Holder as the Holder
shall direct. Alternatively, in the sole discretion of the Company, the Company shall hold a
certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to the Award until such Award shall
have vested, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and the Company shall as soon
thereafter as practicable, subject to Section 5.3 hereof, deliver the certificate or certificates
for the vested Shares to the Holder and destroy the stock power or powers relating to the vested
Shares delivered by the Holder pursuant to Section 1 hereof. If such stock power or powers also
relate to unvested Shares, the Company may require, as a condition precedent to delivery of any
certificate pursuant to this Section 3, the execution and delivery to the Company of one or more
stock powers relating to such unvested Shares.
4. Vesting.
(a) Except to the extent earlier forfeited or vested pursuant to this Section 4 or in the
event of a Change in Control, the Award shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
(b) If the Holder’s employment by the Company terminates by reason of retirement with the
consent of the Company, or terminates by reason of the Holder’s death or disability, the Award
shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the Holder’s termination of employment or the
date of death, as the case may be, provided that if such termination of employment is by reason of
retirement and the Holder executes a release in connection with such retirement that provides for a
period in which such release may be revoked, the Award shall become fully vested upon the
expiration of such revocation period if the Holder has not revoked such release and, provided
further, that the Award shall not become fully vested if the Holder has revoked such release.
(c) If the Holder’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause, the
portion of the Award which is not vested as of the effective date of the Holder’s termination of
employment shall be forfeited by the Holder and shall be transferred, without payment of any
consideration to the Holder, to the Company (or its assignee or nominee).
(d) If the Holder’s employment by the Company terminates for any reason other than a reason
specified in Section 4(b) or 4(c) hereof, the portion of the Award which is not vested as of the
effective date of the Holder’s termination of employment shall be forfeited by the Holder and shall
be transferred, without payment of any consideration to the Holder, to the Company (or its assignee
or nominee); provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, make a determination
that part or all of such unvested portion of the Award shall become fully vested as of the
effective date of the Holder’s termination of employment.
(e) As used herein, “Cause” shall mean a determination by the Company that the Holder has (i)
willfully and continuously failed to substantially perform the duties assigned by the Company or a
Subsidiary with which the Holder is employed (other than a failure resulting from the Holder’s
disability), (ii) willfully engaged in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or
any Subsidiary, monetarily or otherwise, including conduct that, in the reasonable judgment of the
Company, does not conform to the standard of the Company’s executives or employees, or (iii)
engaged in any act of dishonesty, the commission of a felony or a significant violation of any
statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or any Subsidiary.
5. Additional Terms and Conditions of Award.
5.1. Nontransferability of Award. Prior to the vesting of the Shares subject to the
Award, such Shares may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. Except to
the extent permitted by the foregoing, such unvested Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
5.2. Investment Representation. The Holder hereby represents and covenants that (a)
any Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Award will be acquired for investment and not with a
view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
2
“Securities Act”), unless such acquisition has been registered under the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities law; (b) any subsequent sale of any such Shares shall be made
either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and
such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Holder shall submit a written
statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true
and correct as of the date of acquisition of any Shares hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of
the date of any sale of any such Shares, as applicable. As a further condition precedent to the
delivery to the Holder of any Shares subject to the Award, the Holder shall comply with all
regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision over the
issuance of the Shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents which the Board or
the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.
5.3. Withholding Taxes. (a) As a condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder
of any Shares subject to the Award, the Holder shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the
Company such amount of cash as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state,
local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes
(the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If the Holder shall fail to advance the
Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any
Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder or
withhold Shares.
(b) The Holder may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments
by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company pursuant to Section 5.3(a), (2)
delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the
Company) of Mature Shares having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the obligation to
withhold or pay taxes first arises in connection with the Award (the “Tax Date”), equal to the
Required Tax Payments, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold from the Shares otherwise to be
delivered to the Holder pursuant to the Award, a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value,
determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, or (4) any combination of (1),
(2) and (3). Shares to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the
minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments. Any fraction of a Share which would be required to
satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash
by the Holder. No Shares shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in
full.
5.4. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Award is subject to the condition that if
the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to the Award upon any securities
exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of
any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting or
delivery of such Shares, the Shares subject to the Award shall not vest or be delivered, in whole
or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to
use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent
or approval.
5.5. Delivery of Shares. Subject to Section 5.3, upon the vesting of the Award, in
whole or in part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered the vested Shares. The
Company
3
shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such
delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3.
5.6. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. In no event shall the granting
of the Award or its acceptance by the Holder give or be deemed to give the Holder any right to
continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary.
5.7. Decisions of Board of Directors or Committee. The Board or the Committee shall
have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award. Any
interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Board or the Committee regarding
the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.
5.8. Agreement Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of
the Plan, including Section 5.8 relating to a Change in Control, and shall be interpreted in
accordance therewith. The Holder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

Company shall also mean employment by a Subsidiary.

Holder, acquire any rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan.

taken pursuant hereto and thereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United
States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and construed in accordance
therewith without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
