with respect to the Common Securities and its consequences; provided that, if
the underlying Event of Default under the Indenture:

       

      (i)        
   is not waivable under the Indenture, except where the Holders
of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under
this Declaration as provided above in Section 2.06(a) or below in this Section
2.06(b), the Event of Default under this Declaration shall also not be waivable;
or

      
        
           

        

        
          10

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (ii)           requires
the consent or vote of a Super Majority to be waived, except where the Holders
of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under
this Declaration as provided above in Section 2.06(a) or below in this Section
2.06(b), the Event of Default under this Declaration may only be waived by the
vote of the Holders of at least the proportion in aggregate liquidation amount
of the Common Securities that the relevant Super Majority represents of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding;

       

      provided,
further, that the Holders of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any
such Event of Default and all Events of Defaults with respect to the Common
Securities and their consequences until all Events of Default with respect to
the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and
until such Events of Default have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated,
the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders
of the Preferred Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities
will have the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms
of the Securities.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(b)
shall be in lieu of §§ 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act
and such §§ 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act are hereby
expressly excluded from this Declaration and the Securities, as permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act.  In the event that any Event of Default with
respect to the Preferred Securities is waived by the Holders of Preferred
Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Holders of Common Securities
agree that such waiver shall also constitute the waiver of such Event of Default
with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under this Declaration
without any further act, vote or consent of the Holders of the Common
Securities.  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.06(b), upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist and any Event
of Default with respect to the Common Securities arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default with
respect to the Common Securities or impair any right consequent
thereon.

       

      (c)           A
waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the Property Trustee, at
the direction of the Holders of Preferred Securities, constitutes a waiver of
the corresponding Event of Default under this Declaration.  The
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(c) shall be in lieu of § 316(a)(1)(B)
of the Trust Indenture Act and such § 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is
hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and the Securities, as permitted
by the Trust Indenture Act.

2.07           Disclosure of
Information

       

      The
disclosure of information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the
Securities in accordance with § 312 of the Trust Indenture Act, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived, shall not be deemed to be a
violation of any existing law, or any law hereafter enacted which does not
specifically refer to § 312 of the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall the Property
Trustee be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a
request made under § 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

of the Property Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities.  The right, title and interest of the Property Trustee to

account which is maintained with a banking institution whose long term unsecured
indebtedness is rated by a “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the
Securities Act, at least investment grade;

       

      (ii)           engage
in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect
promptly the redemption of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities to
the extent the Debentures are redeemed or mature;

       

      (iii)           upon
notice of distribution issued by the Regular Trustees in accordance with the
terms of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities, engage in such
ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect promptly
pursuant to terms of the Securities the distribution of Debentures to Holders of
Securities upon the election of the Holder of Common Securities to distribute
the Debentures to Holders of Securities and dissolve the Trust;

       

      (iv)           have
the legal power to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of a holder
of the Debentures under the Indenture and, if an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 3.10(e), shall for the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities, enforce its rights as holder of the
Debentures under the Indenture, subject to the rights of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities pursuant to the terms of this Declaration, the Statutory
Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act; and

      
        
           

        

        
          18

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (v)           be
a United States Person.

       

      (d)           The
Property Trustee shall take all actions and perform such duties as may be
specifically required of the Property Trustee pursuant to the terms of the
Securities set forth in Exhibits B and C hereto.

       

      (e)           If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Holders of a
Majority of Outstanding Preferred Securities will have, subject to Section
3.12(c)(iv), the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or to direct the
exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this
Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee to exercise the
remedies available to it as a holder of the Debentures.  If the
Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Debentures, a Holder of
Preferred Securities may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, after a period
of 30 days has elapsed since such Holder’s written request to the Property
Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Sponsor to enforce the Property Trustee’s rights under the Debentures
without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or
any other Person; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and such event is attributed to the failure of the Sponsor to pay
principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to the Debentures on the date such amounts are otherwise payable (or in the case
of redemption, on the redemption date), then a Holder of Preferred Securities
may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such Holder of
such amounts on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder (a “Holder Direct
Action”) on or after the respective due date specified in the
Debentures.  In connection with such Holder Direct Action, the Sponsor
will be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of Preferred Securities to the
extent of any payment made by the Sponsor to such Holders of Preferred
Securities in such Holder Direct Action.  Except as provided in the
preceding sentences, the Holders of Preferred Securities will not be able to
exercise directly any other remedy available to the holders of the
Debentures.

       

      (f)      
     All moneys deposited in the Property Account and
all Debentures held by the Property Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of
the Securities will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien
or claim of any kind in favor of, or for the benefit of the Property Trustee or
its agents or their creditors.

       

      (g)           The
Property Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with
respect to the Securities actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Property Trustee, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders
of the Securities, as their names and addresses appear upon the register, notice
of such default with respect to the Securities known to the Property Trustee,
unless such default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the
term “default” for the purposes of this Section 3.10(g) being hereby defined to
be an Indenture Event of Default, not including any periods of grace provided in
the Indenture and irrespective of the giving of any notice provided therein);
provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of,
any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any of the
Debentures, the Property Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice
if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust
committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Property Trustee in
good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of
the Holders of the Securities.  The Property Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any default, except (i) a default in the payment of
principal, premium or interest on the Debentures or (ii) any default as to which
the Property Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer
charged with the administration of this Declaration shall have obtained written
notice of such default.

      (h)           The
Property Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee until either:

       

      (i)           the
Trust has been completely liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to the
Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of the Securities; or

       

      (ii)           a
Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and accepted that appointment in
accordance with Article V.

       

      (i)           The
Property Trustee shall act as paying agent in respect of the Common Securities
and, if the Preferred Securities are not in book entry only form, the Preferred
Securities and, subject to Section 3.08(q), may authorize one or more Persons
(each, a “Paying Agent”) to pay Distributions, Additional Amounts, redemption
payments or liquidation payments on behalf of the Trust with respect to the
Preferred Securities.  Any such Paying Agent shall comply with §
317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.  Any Paying Agent may be removed by
the Property Trustee, after consultation with the Regular Trustees, at any time
and a successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agents may be appointed at any
time by the Property Trustee, subject to Section 3.08(q).

       

      (j)           The
Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Holders of the
Securities of any notice received by it from Centex of its election to defer
payments of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Debentures
by extending the interest payment period with respect thereto.

       

      (k)           Subject
to this Section 3.10, the Property Trustee shall have none of the powers or the
authority of the Regular Trustees set forth in Section 3.08.

       

      (l)           The
Property Trustee shall exercise the powers, duties and rights set forth in this
Section 3.10 and Section 3.12 in a manner which is consistent with the purposes
and functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.05, and the Property Trustee
shall not take any action which is inconsistent with the purposes and functions
of the Trust set forth in Section 3.05.

3.11           Delaware Trustee

       

      (a)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Declaration, the Delaware Trustee shall not be
entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the
duties and responsibilities of the Regular Trustees or the Property Trustee
described in this Declaration.  The Delaware Trustee shall be a
Trustee for the sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements of §
3807 of the Statutory Trust Act and shall be a United States
Person.

      (b)           It
is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that in fulfilling its
obligations as Delaware Trustee hereunder on behalf of the Trust, (i) any
agreements or instruments executed and delivered by BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware
are executed and delivered not in its individual capacity but solely as Delaware
Trustee under this Declaration in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and
agreements herein made on the part of the Trust is made and intended not as
representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and agreements by BNY
Mellon Trust of Delaware in its individual capacity but is made and intended for
the purpose of binding only the Trust, and (iii) under no circumstances shall
BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware in its individual capacity be personally liable for
the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for the
breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made
or undertaken by the Trust under this Declaration, except if such breach or
failure is due to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Delaware
Trustee.

       

      SECTION
3.12           Certain Rights and Duties of the
Property Trustee

       

      (a)           The
Property Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Declaration, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Declaration
against the Property Trustee.  In case an Event of Default has
occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.06), the
Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise
thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs.

       

      (b)           No
provision of this Declaration shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct, except that:

       

      (i)           prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all
such Events of Default that may have occurred:

       

      (A)           the
duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Declaration, and the Property Trustee shall not be
liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Declaration, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Declaration against the Property Trustee;
and

       

      (B)      
     in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Declaration; provided, however, that in the case of any
such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or the Trust
Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee,
the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Declaration or the Trust
Indenture Act, as the case may be;

      
        
           

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (ii)           the
Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be
proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts upon which such judgment was made;

       

      (iii)          the
Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders
of not less than a Majority of Outstanding Securities relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Property Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Declaration;
and

       

      (iv)          no
provision of this Declaration shall require the Property Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of
such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Declaration or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
furnished to it.

       

      (c)           Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.12(a) and (b):

       

      (i)       
    whenever in the administration of this Declaration, the
Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property
Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
absence of bad faith on its part and, if the Trust is excluded from the
definition of Investment Company solely by means of Rule 3a-7, subject to the
requirements of Rule 3a-7, request and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate which,
upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Sponsor or the
Regular Trustees;

       

      (ii)        
   the Property Trustee (A) may consult with counsel selected by
it in good faith and with due care and the written advice or opinion of such
counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice and opinion and (B)
shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
administration of this Declaration from any court of competent
jurisdiction;

      
        
           

        

        
          22

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (iii)          the
Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and
the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it in good faith and with due
care;

       

      (iv)          the
Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Declaration at the request or direction of any
Holder, unless such Holder shall have furnished to the Property Trustee security
and indemnity satisfactory to the Property Trustee against the costs, expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred
by it in complying with such request or direction; provided that nothing
contained in this clause (iv) shall relieve the Property Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured
or waived) to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Declaration, and to use the same degree of care and skill in this exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs;

       

      (v)           any
action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the
Holders of the Securities, and the signature of the Property Trustee or its
agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any such action; and
no third party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Property
Trustee to so act, or as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions
of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the
Property Trustee’s or its agent’s taking such action; and

       

      (vi)           whenever
in the administration of this Declaration the Property Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any
remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property Trustee may
request instructions from the Holders of the Securities, which instructions
shall be given by the Holders of the same proportion in liquidation amount of
the Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the
terms of the Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action.

       

      (d)           The
Property Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner
or pledgee of Preferred Securities and may otherwise deal with the Sponsor with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Property Trustee.

       

      (e)           Except
as required by Section 3.10(c) hereof, all moneys received by the Property
Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.  The Property Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder
except such as it may agree in writing to pay thereon.

       

      (f)           The
Sponsor covenants and agrees to pay to the Property Trustee from time to time,
and the Property Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as the Regular
Trustees and the Property Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a Property Trustee of an express trust) for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Property
Trustee, and the Sponsor will pay or reimburse the Property Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Property Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Declaration (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses
and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith.  The Sponsor also covenants to indemnify each
of the Property Trustee or any predecessor Property Trustee and their officers,
agents, directors and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any and
all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense including taxes (other than taxes
based upon, measured by or determined by the income, profit, franchise or doing
business of the Property Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on
the part of the Property Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Sponsor,
any Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises.  The
provisions of this subpart (f) of this Section 3.12 shall survive the
termination of this Declaration and resignation or removal of the Property
Trustee.

      (g)           Whether
or not expressly stated, every provision of this Declaration pertaining to the
Property Trustee shall be subject to this Section 3.12.

into, convert into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to, any
other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conversion,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the
Successor Entity not to be classified as a grantor trust for United States
Federal income tax purposes.

      SECTION
7.01           General Provisions Regarding the
Securities

       

      (a)           The
Regular Trustees shall issue the Securities on behalf of the Trusts in fully
registered form representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the
Trust in accordance with Section 7.01(b) and for the consideration specified in
Section 3.03.

       

      (b)           The
Regular Trustees shall issue on behalf of the Trust one class of preferred
securities representing preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets
of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Exhibit B (the “Preferred
Securities”) hereto, which terms are incorporated by reference in, and made a
part of, this Declaration as if specifically set forth herein, and one class of
common securities representing common undivided beneficial interests in the
assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Exhibit C (the “Common
Securities”) hereto, which terms are incorporated by reference in, and made a
part of, this Declaration as if specifically set forth herein.  The
Trust shall have no securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust
other than the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities.

      (c)           The
Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one or more of the
Regular Trustees.  Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile
signatures of the present or any future Regular
Trustee.  Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such
reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the validity of any
Certificate.  In case any Regular Trustee who shall have signed any of
the Certificates shall cease to be such Regular Trustee before the Certificate
so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificate nevertheless may be
delivered as though the person who signed such Certificate had not ceased to be
such Regular Trustee; and any Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Trust
by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Certificate,
shall be the Regular Trustees, although at the date of the execution and
delivery of this Declaration any such person was not a Regular
Trustee.  Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate, or as may
be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which Securities may be listed or traded, or with any rule
or regulation of the Clearing Agency, or to conform to usage.  Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, one or more of the Regular Trustees
on behalf of the Trust may execute temporary Certificates (printed, lithographed
or typewritten), in substantially the form of the definitive Certificates in
lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate for temporary Certificates, all as may be
determined by the Regular Trustees.  Each temporary Certificate shall
be executed by the one or more of Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust upon
the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect,
as definitive Certificates.  Without unnecessary delay, the Regular
Trustees on behalf of the Trust will execute and furnish definitive Certificates
and thereupon any or all temporary Certificates may be surrendered to the
transfer agent and registrar in exchange therefor (without charge to the
Holders).  Each Preferred Security Certificate, whether in temporary
or definitive form, shall be countersigned upon receipt of a written order of
the Trust signed by one Regular Trustee, by the manual signature of an
authorized signatory of the Person acting as registrar and transfer agent for
the Preferred Securities, which shall initially be the Property
Trustee.

       

      (d)           The
consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the Securities shall
constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall not constitute a
loan to the Trust.

       

      (e)           Upon
issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Securities so
issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

       

      (f)       
    Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a
Preferred Security Beneficial Owner in accordance with the terms of this
Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms
of, and shall be bound by this Declaration.

issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Regular Trustees
on behalf of the Trust shall return to Centex the $10 constituting initial trust
assets as set forth in the Original Declaration.

       

      SECTION
7.02           [Conversion
Agent

       

      The Trust
shall maintain an office or agency where Preferred Securities may be presented
for conversion pursuant to the terms thereof set forth in Exhibit B hereto
(“Conversion Agent”).  The Trust may appoint the Conversion Agent and
may appoint one or more additional Conversion Agents in such other locations as
it may determine.  The term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional
Conversion Agent.  The Trust may change any Conversion Agent without
prior notice to any Holders.  If the Trust fails to appoint or
maintain another entity as Conversion Agent, the Property Trustee will act as
such.  The Property Trustee or any of its Affiliates may act as
Conversion Agent.  The Conversion Agent shall be entitled to the
rights and protections extended to the Property Trustee when acting in such
capacity.

       

      The
Property Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Conversion Agent for the
Preferred Securities.]

9.01           Transfer of
Securities

       

      (a)           Securities
may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Declaration and in the terms of the
Securities.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, any transfer or
purported transfer of any Security not made in accordance with this Declaration
shall be null and void.

       

      (b)           Subject
to this Article IX, Preferred Securities shall be freely
transferable.

       

      (c)           The
Holder of the Common Securities may not transfer the Common Securities except to
the Sponsor or an Affiliate thereof in compliance with applicable law (including
the Securities Act and applicable state securities and blue sky
laws).  Upon any such transfer, such Holder shall deliver to the
Trustees a certificate or affidavit executed by or on behalf of such Holder that
the transfer is in compliance with this Section 9.01(c).  To the
fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities
other than as set forth in this Section 9.01(c) shall be null and
void.

       

      SECTION
9.02           Transfer of
Certificates

       

      The
Regular Trustees shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers of Certificates, which will be effected without charge but only upon
payment (with such indemnity as the Regular Trustees and the transfer agent and
registrar may require) in respect of any tax or other government charges which
may be imposed in relation to it.  Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, one or more of the Regular Trustees shall cause one
or more new Certificates to be issued in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees.  Every Certificate surrendered for registration of
transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Regular Trustees and the transfer agent and registrar duly
executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing.  Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer
shall be canceled or caused to be canceled by the Regular Trustees.  A
transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a
Certificate.  By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be
deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

       

      SECTION
9.03           Deemed Security
Holders

       

      The
Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered
on the books and records of the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and
of the Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving
Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Certificate or in the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of
any Person, whether or not the Trustees shall have actual or other notice
thereof.

9.04           Book Entry

      Unless
otherwise specified in the terms of the Preferred Securities, the Preferred
Security Certificates, on original issuance [(including Preferred Securities, if
any, issued on the Option Closing Date pursuant to the exercise of the
over-allotment option set forth in the Underwriting Agreement)], will be issued
in the form of one or more, fully registered, global Preferred Security
Certificates (each a “Global Certificate”), to be delivered to DTC, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust.  Such Global
Certificates shall initially be registered on the books and records of the Trust
in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Preferred Security
Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Preferred Security Certificate
representing such Preferred Security Beneficial Owner’s interests in such Global
Certificates, except as provided in Section 9.07.  Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Preferred Security Certificates (the “Definitive
Preferred Security Certificates”) have been issued to the Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.07:

       

      (a)           the
provisions of this Section 9.04 shall be in full force and effect;

       

      (b)           the
Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for
all purposes of this Declaration (including the payment of Distributions on the
Global Certificates and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the
Holder of the Preferred Securities and the sole holder of the Global
Certificates and, except as set forth herein in Section 9.07 or in Rule 3a-7 (if
the Trust is excluded from the definition of an Investment Company solely by
reason of Rule 3a-7) with respect to the Property Trustee, shall have no
obligation to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners;

       

      (c)        
   to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.04
conflict with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this
Section 9.04 shall control; and

       

      (d)           the
rights of the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the Clearing
Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.  DTC will make book
entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
payments of Distributions on the Global Certificates to such Clearing Agency
Participants; provided that solely for the purposes of determining whether the
Holders of the requisite amount of Preferred Securities have voted on any matter
provided for in this Declaration, so long as definitive Preferred Security
Certificates have not been issued (pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof), the
Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any
written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by the Clearing
Agency setting forth the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners’ votes or
assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either in whole
or in part.

       

      SECTION
9.05           Notices to Holders of
Certificates

a notice or other communication to the Holders is required to be given under
this Declaration, unless and until Definitive Preferred Security Certificates
shall have been issued pursuant to Section 9.07, the relevant Trustees shall
give all such notices and communications, specified herein to be given to
Holders of Preferred Securities, to the Clearing Agency and, with respect to any
Preferred Security Certificate registered in the name of a Clearing Agency or
the nominee of a Clearing Agency, the Trustees shall have no notice obligations
to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners.

Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depository with
respect to the Preferred Securities, the Regular Trustees may, in their sole
discretion, appoint a successor Clearing Agency with respect to the Preferred
Securities.

       

      SECTION
9.07           Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates

       

      If (i) a
Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depository with
respect to the Preferred Securities and a successor Clearing Agency is not
appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section 9.06,
(ii) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Preferred Securities
and is continuing and the Property Trustee has received a request from the
Clearing Agency to issue Definitive Preferred Security Certificates in lieu of
all or a portion of the Global Certificates (in which case the Regular Trustees
shall deliver such Definitive Preferred Security Certificates within 30 days of
such request) or (iii) the Regular Trustees elect after consultation with the
Sponsor to terminate the book entry system through the Clearing Agency with
respect to the Preferred Securities, then (x) Definitive Preferred Security
Certificates shall be prepared by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust
with respect to such Preferred Securities and (y) upon surrender of the Global
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions,
the Regular Trustees shall cause Definitive Preferred Security Certificates to
be delivered to Preferred Security Beneficial Owners in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Upon such event, the Regular
Trustees shall give notice thereof to the Debenture Trustee.  Neither
the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected
in relying on, such instructions.

       

      SECTION
9.08           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates

       

      If (a)
any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Regular Trustees, or if
the Regular Trustees shall receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered
to the Regular Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
keep each of them and the Trust harmless, then in the absence of notice that
such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, one or more
of the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination.  In connection
with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 9.08, the Regular
Trustees may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.  Any
duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall constitute
conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.

      (a)           At
all times during the existence of the Trust, the Regular Trustees shall keep, or
cause to be kept, full books of account, records and supporting documents, which
shall reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust.  The
books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied.  The Trust shall use the accrual method of accounting for
United States Federal income tax purposes.

       

      (b)           If
required by applicable law, the Regular Trustees shall, as soon as available
after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust, cause to be prepared and mailed
to each Holder of Securities unaudited financial statements of the Trust for
such Fiscal Year, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; provided that if the Trust is required to comply with the periodic
reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, such
financial statements for such Fiscal Year shall be examined and reported on by a
firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Regular
Trustees (which firm may be the firm used by the Sponsor).

       

      (c)           The
Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and mailed to each Holder of
Securities any United States Federal income tax information statement or form
required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations, containing such information
with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code or

law.  The Regular Trustees shall request, and the Holders shall
provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish
an available exemption from withholding with respect to each Holder, and any
representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Regular
Trustees to assist them in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, the
Trust’s withholding obligations.  The Regular Trustee on behalf of the
Trust shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an
exemption from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit
amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable
jurisdictions.  To the extent that the Trust is required to withhold
and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to Distributions or
allocations to any Holder, the Regular Trustees shall so notify the Property
Trustee and shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the
Property Trustee to enable the Property Trustee to effect such withholding, and
the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution in the amount of the
withholding to the Holder.  In the event of any claimed
overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable
jurisdiction.  If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld
from a Distribution to a Holder, the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions
to such Holder (or its successor) by the amount of such
underwithholding.  Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms
of the Securities as set forth in Exhibits B and C hereto, no additional amounts
shall be paid to a Holder to compensate the Holder for any required
withholding.

an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act, and (vii) pursuant to
Section 5.01, evidence the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Trustee

Securities; Action by Written Consent

       

      (a)           Meetings
of the Holders of Preferred Securities and/or Common Securities may be called at
any time by the Regular Trustees (or as provided in the terms of the Securities)
to consider and act on any matter on which the Holders of such class of
Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of
the Securities or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, traded or
quoted.  The Regular Trustees shall call a meeting of the Holders of
Preferred Securities or Common Securities, if directed to do so by Holders of at
least 10% of Outstanding Securities of such class.  Such direction
shall be given by delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more notices in
writing stating that the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting
and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be
called.  Any Holders of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in
writing the Certificates held by the Holders of Securities exercising the right

      (b)           Except

      (i)      
     Notice of any such meeting shall be given by mail
to all the Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereat not less than
seven (7) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such
meeting.  Whenever a vote, consent or approval of the Holders of
Securities is permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any
stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Preferred Securities
are then listed, traded or quoted, such vote, consent or approval may be given
at a meeting of the Holders of Securities.  Any action that may be
taken at a meeting of the Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting
and without prior notice if a consent in writing setting forth the action so
taken is signed by Holders of Securities owning not less than the minimum
aggregate liquidation amount of Securities that would be necessary to authorize
or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of Securities having a
right to vote thereon were present and voting.  Prompt notice of the
taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of Securities
entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.  The Regular
Trustees may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Holders of
Securities for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be
returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Regular
Trustees.

       

      (ii)           Each
Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on all
matters in which a Holder of a Security is entitled to participate, including
waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a
meeting.  No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months
from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  Every
proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of the Security executing
it.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in the terms of the
Securities, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies
shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust
were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities were stockholders
of a Delaware corporation.

      (iii)           Each
meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be conducted by the Regular
Trustees or by such other Person that the Regular Trustees may
designate.

       

      (iv)           Unless
otherwise provided in the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration or the rules of
any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Preferred
Securities are then listed, traded or quoted, the Regular Trustees, in their
sole discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of
Holders of Securities, including notice of the time, place or purpose of any
meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders of Securities,
waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the
establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by
proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to
vote.

Securities or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any Holder of
Securities or any Affiliate of a Holder of Securities, solely by reason of such
Person’s being a Holder of Securities or an Affiliate of a Holder of Securities,

Holder of Securities, has limited liability (in accordance with the provisions
of the Statutory Trust Act) for the liabilities and obligations of the

      SECTION
14.10           Agent for Service of

      The
Sponsor hereby designates Corporation Service Company, having an address at 1133
Avenue of the Americas, Suite 3100, New York, New York 10036-6710, as its
authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any action, suit or
proceeding that may be instituted in any State or Federal court sitting in the
County of New York of the State of New York pertaining to this Declaration or
any matter arising out of or related to this Declaration, and the Sponsor will
accept the jurisdiction of such court in such action, and waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any defense based upon lack of personal
jurisdiction or venue or forum non conveniens.  A copy of any such
process shall be sent or given to the Sponsor at the address for notices
specified in Section 14.01 hereof.  The Sponsor shall maintain the
designation of such authorized agent until two years after the dissolution of
the Trust pursuant to Section 3.17 or Section 8.01.

       

      SECTION
14.11           Payment Currency

       

      To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligation of the Sponsor in
respect of any amount due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any payment in any
other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only
to the extent of the amount in Dollars that the party entitled to receive such
payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum
paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) in the
city of receipt on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such
party receives such payment.  If the amount in Dollars that may be so
purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Sponsor
shall pay such additional amounts, in Dollars, as may be necessary to compensate
for the shortfall.  Any obligation of the Sponsor not discharged by
such additional payment shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as
provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.

      TERMS
OF

      PREFERRED
SECURITIES

      

      Pursuant
to Section 7.01(b) of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Centex
Trust [I] [II] dated as of ____________, ____ (as amended from time to time, the
“Declaration”), the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences
and other terms and provisions of the Preferred Securities are set forth below
(each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set forth
in the Declaration):

       

      1.       
     Designation and Number. _________ (_______)
Preferred Securities of the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount at any
time outstanding with respect to the assets of the Trust of _________________
Dollars ($___________) [(including up to ____________ (__________) Preferred
Securities of the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the
assets of the Trust of _______________ ($_________) issuable upon exercise of
the over-allotment option set forth in the Underwriting Agreement)], and each
with a liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $______ per
Preferred Security, are hereby designated as “____% [[Convertible] Trust
Preferred Securities].”  The Preferred Security Certificates
evidencing the Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the form attached
hereto as Annex I, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions
therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform
to the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Preferred Securities are then listed, traded or quoted.  In connection
with the issuance and sale of the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities, the Trust will purchase as trust assets Debentures of Centex having
an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities and the Common Securities so issued and bearing interest at
an annual rate equal to the annual Distribution rate on the Preferred Securities
and the Common Securities and having payment and redemption provisions which
correspond to the payment and redemption provisions of the Preferred Securities
and the Common Securities.

       

      2.        
    Distributions and Additional
Amounts.   (a) Distributions payable on each Preferred Security
will be fixed at a rate per annum of ____% (the “Coupon Rate”) of the stated
liquidation amount of $______ per Preferred Security, such rate being the rate
of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property
Trustee.   Distributions that are not paid when such
distributions are payable (or would be payable but for the deferral of such
payment pursuant to Section 2.1(b) below or a default by Centex in the payment
of interest on the Debentures) will accumulate additional distributions thereon
at the Coupon Rate per annum (to the extent permitted by applicable law),
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually].  The term “Distributions” as
used herein means such periodic cash distributions and any such additional
distributions payable unless otherwise stated.  A Distribution will be
made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made
in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Trust has funds on hand legally available therefor.  The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full [quarterly]
[semi-annual] Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full [quarterly] [semi-annual]
Distribution period for which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per [90-day quarter]
[180-day semi-annual period].

      
        
           

        

        
          B-1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           Distributions
on the Preferred Securities will accumulate from ________ ___, _____ and will be
payable [quarterly] [semi-annually] in arrears, on [________ ___, ________ ___,]
________ ___ and ________ ___ of each year, commencing on ________ ___, ____,
except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest
payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee.  So long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Debentures, Centex has the right under the
Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by
extending the interest payment period of the Debentures at any time and from
time to time for a period not exceeding [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly]
[semi-annual] interest periods (each, an “Extension Period”), during which
Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on the
Debentures.  As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions shall
also be deferred.  Despite such deferral, Distributions will continue
to accumulate on the Preferred Securities with additional distributions thereon
(to the extent permitted by applicable law but not at a rate greater than the
rate at which interest is then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually] during any such Extension
Period.  No Extension Period shall extend beyond the stated maturity
of the Debentures.  Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, Centex may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such
Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
may not exceed [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest periods
or extend beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures.  Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due,
Centex may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements.  On the Distribution payment date at the end of an
Extension Period, payments of accumulated Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts) will be payable to Holders of Preferred Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust (regardless of who the Holders may
have been on other dates during the Extension Period) on the record date for
such Distribution payment date.

       

      (c)           Distributions
and Additional Amounts on the Preferred Securities will be payable promptly by
the Property Trustee (or other Paying Agent) upon receipt of immediately
available funds to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records
of the Trust on the relevant record dates.  While the Preferred
Securities remain in book-entry only form, the relevant record dates shall be
the Business Day next preceding the relevant Distribution payment date, and if
the Preferred Securities are no longer in book-entry only form, the relevant
record dates will be the close of business on the [________ ___, ________ ___,]
________ ___ and ________ ___ next preceding the relevant Distribution payment
date, which record and payment dates correspond to the record and interest
payment dates on the Debentures.  Distributions and Additional Amounts
payable on any Preferred Securities that are not punctually paid on any
Distribution payment date as a result of Centex’s having failed to make the
corresponding payment on the Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to
the Person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the relevant
record date, and such defaulted payment will instead be payable to the Person in
whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the special record date
established by the Regular Trustees, which record date shall correspond to the
special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the
Indenture; provided, however, that Distributions shall not be considered payable
on any Distribution payment date falling within an Extension Period unless
Centex has elected to make a full or partial payment of accrued interest on the
Debentures on such Distribution payment date.  Subject to any
applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration, each
payment in respect of the Preferred Securities will be made as described in
Section [9] hereof.  If any date on which Distributions and Additional
Amounts are payable on the Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then
payment of the Distribution and Additional Amounts payable on such date will be
made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day
is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on the date such payment was originally
payable.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the record
dates and payment dates for Distributions and Additional Amounts shall be the
same as the record dates and payment dates for the Debentures.

      
        
           

        

        
          B-2

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (d)           All
Distributions and Additional Amounts paid with respect to the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities will be paid Pro Rata (as defined below) to
the Holders thereof entitled thereto.  If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over
the Common Securities with respect to such payments.

       

      (e)           [In
the event of an election by the Holder to convert its Preferred Securities
through the Conversion Agent into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms
of the Preferred Securities as set forth herein, no payment, allowance or
adjustment shall be made with respect to accumulated and unpaid Distributions on
or additional amounts with respect to such Preferred Securities, or be required
to be made; provided, however, that if a Preferred Security is surrendered for
conversion after the close of business on any regular record date for payment of
a Distribution and additional amounts and before the opening of business on the
corresponding Distribution payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion,
the Distribution and additional amounts payable on such Distribution payment
date will be paid in cash to the Person in whose name the Preferred Security is
registered at the close of business on such record date, and (other than a
Preferred Security or a portion of a Preferred Security called for redemption on
a redemption date occurring after such record date and on or prior to such
Distribution payment date) when so surrendered for conversion, the Preferred
Security must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the Distribution
and additional amounts payable on such Distribution payment date.

       

      (f)]           In
the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust
that is not accounted for under the Declaration, such money or property shall be
distributed Pro Rata among the Holders of the Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities.

       

      3.       
     Liquidation Distribution Upon
Dissolution.  (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution of the Trust other than as contemplated by Section 8.01(a) or (f) of
the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities will be entitled to receive Pro Rata solely out of the assets of the
Trust legally available for distribution to Holders of Preferred Securities and
Common Securities after satisfaction of liabilities to the creditors of the
Trust, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of
$______ per Preferred Security and Common Security plus accumulated and unpaid
Distributions thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto to the
date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”), unless, in
connection with such dissolution and after satisfaction of liabilities to the
creditors of the Trust, Debentures, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts
in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to such Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities, shall be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities in exchange for such
Securities.

      If, upon
any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part
because the Trust has insufficient assets on hand legally available to pay in
full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly
by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities shall be
paid, subject to the next paragraph, on a Pro Rata basis.

       

      Holders
of Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon
any such dissolution Pro Rata with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities
shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to such
Liquidation Distribution.

       

      (b)           The
Holder of the Common Securities shall have the right to direct the Property
Trustee in writing at any time to dissolve the Trust and to distribute
Debentures to Holders in exchange for Securities (which direction is optional
and wholly within the discretion of the Holder of the Common
Securities).  Upon the receipt of any such written direction, the
Property Trustee shall promptly (i) distribute Debentures in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities and the Common Securities held by each Holder, which
Debentures bear accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts in an amount
equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such
Holder, in exchange for the Preferred Securities and Common Securities of such
Holder and (ii) dissolve the Trust.

       

      (c)           On
the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures, upon dissolution of the
Trust, (i) the Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding
and may be canceled by the Regular Trustees; (ii) the Clearing Agency, or its
nominee, as the Holder of the Preferred Securities, will receive a registered
global certificate or certificates representing the Debentures to be delivered
upon such distribution; and (iii) Certificates representing Preferred Securities
not held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee will be deemed to represent
beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Amounts equal to accumulated and unpaid Distributions on
and any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Preferred Securities until such
Certificates are presented to Centex or its agent for cancellation and
Debentures are issued in lieu thereof.  Debentures distributed to
holders of Certificates representing Preferred Securities not held by the
Clearing Agency or its nominee shall not be issued in the form of a global
certificate or certificates representing such Debentures or any other form
intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such
Debentures.

       

      [(d)           If
Debentures are distributed to Holders of the Preferred Securities, Centex,
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, will use its reasonable efforts to have
the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange
or automated quotation system as the Preferred Securities were listed
immediately prior to the distribution of the Debentures.]

      4.      
      Redemption of Debentures.  The
Preferred Securities may be redeemed only if Debentures having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities are repaid or redeemed as set forth
below:

       

      (a)           Upon
the repayment of the Debentures, in whole or in part, whether at maturity, upon
redemption at any time or from time to time [on or after _________, ____], the
proceeds of such repayment will be promptly applied to redeem Pro Rata Preferred
Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price [of $______
per Preferred Security and Common Security plus an amount equal to accumulated
and unpaid Distributions thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto
to, but excluding, the date of redemption, payable in cash (the “Redemption
Price”).] [equal to (i) in the case of the optional redemption of the Debentures
upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event (as defined below), the
Special Event Redemption Price (as defined below) or (ii) in the case of the
optional redemption of the Debentures other than as contemplated in clause (i)
above, the Optional Redemption Price (as defined below).  The Special
Event Redemption Price and the Optional Redemption Price are referred to
collectively as the “Redemption Price.”]  The date of any such
repayment or redemption of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be
established to coincide with the repayment or redemption date of the
Debentures.

       

      [“Special
Event Redemption Price” shall be equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation
amount of the Preferred Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the Make-Whole
Amount, in each case plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid
Distributions thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto to, but
excluding, the date of redemption.

       

      “Optional
Redemption Price” shall be equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation amount of
the Preferred Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, in each
case plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon and
any Additional Amounts with respect thereto to, but excluding, the date of
redemption.

       

      “Make-Whole
Amount” shall be equal to, as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the
present values, calculated as of the redemption date, of (i) each interest
payment that would have been payable on the Debentures or portions thereof being
redeemed, if such Debentures or portions thereof were not redeemed, on each
scheduled interest payment date occurring after the redemption date (excluding
any accrued interest for the period prior to the redemption date) and (ii) the
principal amount of such Debentures or portions thereof that would have been
payable, if such Debentures or portions thereof were not redeemed, at the
scheduled maturity of such Debentures or portions thereof being redeemed (the
“Remaining Life”), in each case discounted to the redemption date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the
Adjusted Treasury Rate plus ___ basis points for the purpose of calculating the
Optional Redemption Price and ___ basis points for the purpose of calculating
the Special Event Redemption Price.

      “Adjusted
Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum
equal to (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately prior week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Federal Reserve Board and which establishes yields on actively
traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity date corresponding to
the Remaining Life (if no maturity date is within three months before or after
the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturity dates most closely
corresponding to the Remaining Life shall be interpolated and the Adjusted
Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a
straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or
any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the
calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to
the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day
preceding the redemption date.

       

      “Comparable
Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity date comparable to the Remaining Life that
would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the Remaining Life. If no United States Treasury security
has a maturity date which is within a period from three months before to three
months after the Remaining Life, the two most closely corresponding United
States Treasury securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and
the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a
straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such
securities.

       

      “Quotation
Agent” means ________________ and its successors; provided, however, that if the
foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New
York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), Centex shall substitute therefor
another Primary Treasury Dealer.

       

      “Reference
Treasury Dealer” means: (i) the Quotation Agent and (ii) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by the Debenture Trustee after consultation with
Centex.

       

      “Comparable
Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of
five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after
excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations,
or (ii) if the Debenture Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

      
        
           

        

        
          B-6

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Debenture
Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Debenture Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption
date.]

       

      (b)           If
fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to
be so redeemed, the Preferred Securities will be redeemed as described in
Section 4(e)(ii) below, and the Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with
the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common
Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price.  If a
partial redemption would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by
any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred
Securities are then listed or traded, Centex pursuant to the Indenture will
redeem Debentures only in whole and, as a result, the Trust may redeem the
Preferred Securities only in whole.

       

      (c)           If,
at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter
defined, and each a “Special Event”) shall occur and be continuing, Centex shall
have the right at any time [prior to ________ ___, ____], upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole [or][but not]
in part for cash at the [Special Event] Redemption Price within 90 days
following the occurrence of such Special Event, and promptly following such
redemption, Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate
liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so
redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the [Special Event] Redemption Price
on a Pro Rata basis.  The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata
with the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common
Securities with respect to payment of the [Special Event] Redemption
Price.

       

      “Tax
Event” means that the Sponsor and the Regular Trustees shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel, who shall not be an employee of the Sponsor and who shall be
experienced in such matters, to the effect that as a result of (a) any amendment
to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any
rules or regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or
change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws, rules or
regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority (including the enactment of any legislation or the publication of any
judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or
pronouncement by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority that provides for a position with respect to such laws, rules or
regulations that differs from its previous position or a theretofore commonly
accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or
regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued
or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or
which action is taken, in each case on or after ________ ___, ____, there is
more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days
of the date thereof, subject to United States Federal income tax with respect to
income accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be
within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of
taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by Centex
to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof
will not be, deductible by Centex for United States Federal income tax
purposes.

      “Investment
Company Event” means that the Sponsor and the Regular Trustees shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel, who shall not be an employee of the Sponsor and
who shall be experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act, that, as
a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in
interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body,
court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a “Change in Investment
Company Act Law”), there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or
will be considered an Investment Company that is required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act, which Change in Investment Company Act Law becomes
effective on or after ________ ___, ____.

       

      (d)           The
Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities unless
all accumulated and unpaid Distributions and Additional Amounts have been paid
on all Preferred Securities for all [quarterly] [semi-annual] Distribution
periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption.

       

      (e)           (i)  Notice
of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of Debentures in exchange for,
the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities (a “Redemption/Distribution
Notice”) will be given by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by mail to
each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities to be redeemed or
exchanged not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or exchange thereof.  For purposes of the calculation of
the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given
pursuant to this Section 4(e)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be
deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common
Securities.  Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to
the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the address of each
such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Trust.  No
defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof
with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or
exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

       

      (ii)           In
the event that fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities are to be
redeemed, the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from
each Holder of Preferred Securities, it being understood that, in respect of
Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of record by DTC (or
successor Clearing Agency) or any other nominee, the Preferred Securities will
be redeemed from, and the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will
be made to, DTC (or successor Clearing Agency) or other
nominee.

      (iii)           Subject
to Section [9] hereof, if the Trust gives a Redemption/Distribution Notice in
respect of a redemption of Preferred Securities as provided in this Section 4,
then (A) while the Preferred Securities are in book-entry only form, with
respect to the Preferred Securities, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
redemption date, provided that Centex has paid the Property Trustee, in
immediately available funds, a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the
related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will
deposit irrevocably with DTC (or successor Clearing Agency) funds sufficient to
pay the applicable Redemption Price with respect to the Preferred Securities and
will give DTC (or successor Clearing Agency) irrevocable instructions and
authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities
and (B) if the Preferred Securities are issued in definitive form, with respect
to the Preferred Securities and provided that Centex has paid the Property
Trustee, in immediately available funds, a sufficient amount of cash in
connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the
Property Trustee will pay the relevant Redemption Price to the Holders of such
Preferred Securities by check mailed to the address of the relevant Holder
appearing on the books and records of the Trust on the redemption date or by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such
Holder.  If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and
funds deposited as required, if applicable, then immediately prior to the close
of business on the redemption date, Distributions will cease to accumulate on
the Preferred Securities called for redemption, such Preferred Securities will
no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of Holders of such
Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of
the Holders of such Preferred Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but
without interest on such Redemption Price.  Neither the Trustees nor
the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer
of any Preferred Securities which have been so called for
redemption.  If any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities
is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date
will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such
Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on such date fixed for redemption.  If payment of the
Redemption Price in respect of Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or
refused and not paid either by the Property Trustee or by Centex pursuant to the
Preferred Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Preferred Securities will
continue to accumulate, from the original redemption date to the date of
payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed
for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

       

      (iv)           Redemption/Distribution
Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to DTC or
its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) if the Global
Certificates have been issued or, if Definitive Preferred Security Certificates
have been issued, to the Holders of the Preferred Securities.

       

      (v)           Subject
to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without limitation, United
States Federal securities laws), Centex or any of its Affiliates may at any time
and from time to time purchase outstanding Preferred Securities by tender, in
the open market or by private agreement.

      [5.           Conversion
Rights.  The Holders of Preferred Securities shall have the
right at any time prior to the close of business on ___________, ____ or, in the
case of Preferred Securities called for redemption, prior to the close of
business on the Business Day immediately prior to the redemption date, at their
option, to cause the Conversion Agent to convert Preferred Securities, on behalf
of the converting Holders, into shares of Common Stock in the manner described
herein on and subject to the following terms and conditions:

       

      (a)           The
Preferred Securities will be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent
maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Holder’s direction to the Conversion Agent to exchange such Preferred Securities
for a portion of the Debentures theretofore held by the Trust on the basis of
one Preferred Security per $______ principal amount of Debentures, and
immediately convert such amount of Debentures into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock at an initial rate of __ shares of Common Stock per
$_______ principal amount of Debentures (which is equivalent to a conversion
price of $___ per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set
forth in Sections ___ and ___ of the Supplemental Indenture (as so adjusted, the
“Conversion Price”)).

       

      (b)           In
order to convert Preferred Securities into Common Stock, the Holder shall submit
to the Conversion Agent at the office referred to above an irrevocable request
to convert Preferred Securities on behalf of such Holder (the “Conversion
Request”), together, if the Preferred Securities are in certificated form, with
such Preferred Security Certificates.  The Conversion Request shall
(i) set forth the number of Preferred Securities to be converted and the name or
names, if other than the Holder, in which the shares of Common Stock should be
issued and (ii) direct the Conversion Agent (a) to exchange such Preferred
Securities for a portion of the Debentures held by the Trust (at the rate of
exchange specified in the preceding paragraph) and (b) to immediately convert
such Debentures on behalf of such Holder into shares of Common Stock, subject to
certain adjustments set forth in the Supplemental Indenture (at the conversion
rate specified in the preceding paragraph).  The Conversion Agent
shall notify the Trust of the Holder’s election to exchange Preferred Securities
for a portion of the Debentures held by the Trust and the Trust shall, upon
receipt of such notice, deliver to the Conversion Agent the appropriate
principal amount of Debentures for exchange in accordance with this
Section.  The Conversion Agent shall thereupon notify the Sponsor of
the Holder’s election to convert such Debentures into shares of Common
Stock.  If a Preferred Security is surrendered for conversion after
the close of business on any regular record date for payment of a Distribution
and before the opening of business on the corresponding Distribution payment
date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the Distribution payable on such
Distribution payment date will be paid in cash to the Person in whose name the
Preferred Security is registered at the close of business on such record date,
and (other than a Preferred Security or a portion of a Preferred Security called
for redemption on a redemption date occurring after such record date and on or
prior to such Distribution payment date) when so surrendered for conversion, the
Preferred Security must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
Distribution payable on such Distribution payment date.  Except as
provided above, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor will make, or be required to
make, any payment, allowance or adjustment upon any conversion on account of any
accumulated and unpaid Distributions accumulated on the Preferred Securities
surrendered for conversion, or on account of any accumulated and unpaid
dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion, and the
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Securities
shall be deemed to constitute full payment for all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions on the Preferred Securities.  Preferred Securities shall
be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on
the day on which a Notice of Conversion relating to such Preferred Securities is
received by the Trust in accordance with the foregoing provision (the
“Conversion Date”).  The Person or Persons entitled to receive shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock at
such time.  As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion
Date, the Sponsor shall issue the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion to, and shall deliver at the office of the Conversion Agent
the cash payment, if any, in lieu of any fraction of any Share for the account
of, the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, unless otherwise
directed by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion.  The Conversion
Agent shall distribute such cash payment, if any, to such Person or
Persons.

      (c)           Each
Holder of a Preferred Security by his acceptance thereof appoints The Bank of
New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as the “Conversion Agent”
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Preferred Securities in
accordance with this Section.  In effecting the conversion and
transactions described in this Section, the Conversion Agent shall be acting as
agent of the Holders of Preferred Securities directing it to effect such
conversion transactions.  The Conversion Agent is hereby authorized
(i) to exchange Preferred Securities from time to time for Debentures held by
the Trust in connection with the conversion of such Preferred Securities in
accordance with this Section and (ii) to convert all or a portion of the
Debentures into shares of Common Stock and thereupon to deliver such shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section and to deliver to
the Trust a new Debenture or Debentures for any resulting unconverted principal
amount.

       

      (d)           No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of conversion, but
in lieu thereof, such fractional interest will be paid by the Sponsor in cash
(based upon the Closing Price (as defined in the Indenture) of shares of Common
Stock on the date such Preferred Securities are surrendered for conversion to
the Trust) to the Conversion Agent, which in turn will make such payment to the
Holder or Holders of Preferred Securities so converted, or, if such day is not a
Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture), on the next Trading Day.

       

      (e)           The
Sponsor shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of the
Debentures, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the
conversion of all the Debentures then outstanding.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Sponsor shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of
Debentures, shares of Common Stock reacquired and held in the treasury of the
Sponsor (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock), so long as any such treasury shares are free and clear of all liens,
charges, security interests or encumbrances.  Any shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures shall be duly authorized, validly
issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Trust shall deliver the
shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of the Debentures to the
converting Holder of Preferred Securities free and clear of all liens, charges,
security interests and encumbrances, except for United States withholding
taxes.  Each of the Sponsor and the Trust shall prepare and shall use
its best efforts to obtain and keep in force such governmental or regulatory
permits or other authorizations as may be required by law, and shall comply with
all applicable requirements as to registration or qualification of shares of
Common Stock (and all requirements to list shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Debentures that are at the time applicable), in order to enable
the Sponsor to lawfully issue shares of Common Stock to the Trust upon
conversion of the Debentures and the Trust to lawfully deliver shares of Common
Stock to each Holder of Preferred Securities upon conversion of the Preferred
Securities.

      
        
           

        

        
          B-11

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (f)           The
Sponsor will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Debentures and the
delivery of the shares of Common Stock by the Trust upon conversion of the
Preferred Securities. The Sponsor shall not, however, be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the
Preferred Securities so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery
shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the
Trust the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the
Trust that such tax has been paid.

       

      (g)           Nothing
in the preceding paragraph (f) shall limit the requirement of the Trust to
withhold taxes pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities or set forth in
this Exhibit B to the Declaration or to the Declaration itself or otherwise
require the Property Trustee or the Trust to pay any amounts on account of such
withholdings.]

       

      6.       
     Voting
Rights.  (a) Except as provided under paragraph [6](b) below
and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the
Preferred Securities will have no voting rights.

       

      (b)           If
any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the
powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of
amendment to the Declaration, other than as described in Section 12.01(b) of the
Declaration, or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust, other than as described in Section 8.01 of the Declaration, then the
Holders of outstanding Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
proposal as a single class and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of the Holders of Securities of at least a Majority of
Outstanding Securities, voting together as a single class; provided, however,
that (A) if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would
adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, then
only the affected class of Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment
or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with
the approval of at least a Majority of Outstanding Securities of such class and
(B) amendments to the Declaration shall be subject to such further requirements
as are set forth in Sections 12.01 and 12.02 of the
Declaration.

      
        
           

        

        
          B-12

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      In the
event the consent of the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, is
required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or
termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property Trustee shall
request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to
such amendment, modification or termination.  The Property Trustee
shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as
directed by a Majority of Outstanding Securities voting together as a single
class; provided, however, that where such amendment, modification or termination
of the Indenture requires the consent or vote of (1) holders of Debentures
representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount
of the Debentures or (2) each holder of Debentures, the Property Trustee may
only vote with respect to that amendment, modification or termination as
directed by, in the case of clause (1) above, the vote of Holders of Securities
representing such specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of
the Securities, or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of Securities;
and provided, further, that the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to
take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Securities
unless the Property Trustee shall have received, at the expense of the Sponsor,
an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust
will not be classified for United States Federal income tax purposes as other
than a grantor trust on account of such action.

       

      So long
as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the Trustees shall not (i)
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee of the Indenture (the “Debenture Trustee”), or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to
the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under Section 6.06
of the Indenture or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration
of acceleration of the maturity of the principal of the Debentures, without, in
each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of a Majority of
Outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities.  The Trustees
shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities except by subsequent vote of such
Holders.  The Property Trustee shall notify each Holder of Preferred
Securities of any notice of default with respect to the Debentures.

       

      If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Holders of a Majority
of Outstanding Preferred Securities will have the right, subject to Section
3.12(c)(iv) of the Declaration, to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or to
direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee
under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee to
exercise the remedies available to it as a holder of the
Debentures.  If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under
the Debentures, a Holder of Preferred Securities may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, after a period of 30 days has elapsed since such Holder’s
written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a
legal proceeding directly against the Sponsor to enforce the Property Trustee’s
rights under the Debentures without first instituting any legal proceeding
against the Property Trustee or any other Person; provided that, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributed to the
failure of the Sponsor to pay principal of, any premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to the Debentures on the date such amounts are
otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), then a
Holder of Preferred Securities may directly institute a proceeding for
enforcement of payment to such Holder of such amounts on the Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred
Securities of such Holder (a “Holder Direct Action”) on or after the respective
due date specified in the Debentures.  In connection with such Holder
Direct Action, the Sponsor will be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of
Preferred Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Sponsor to such
Holders of Preferred Securities in such Holder Direct Action.  Except
as provided in the preceding sentences, the Holders of Preferred Securities will
not be able to exercise directly any other remedy available to the Holders of
the Debentures.

      
        
           

        

        
          B-13

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      A waiver
of an Indenture Event of Default by the Property Trustee at the direction of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities will constitute a waiver of the
corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the
Securities.

       

      Any
required approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities may be given
at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened for such
purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities or pursuant to written
consent.  The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at
which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote to be mailed to each
Holder of record of Preferred Securities.  Each such notice will
include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting, (ii) a
description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which
such Holders are entitled to vote and (iii) instructions for the delivery of
proxies.  Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of
Securities may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent
in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Holders of Securities
owning not less than the minimum aggregate liquidation amount of Securities that
would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and
voting.

       

      No vote
or consent of the Holders of Preferred Securities will be required for the Trust
to redeem and cancel Preferred Securities or to distribute the Debentures in
accordance with the Declaration or Section 3 of this Exhibit B.

       

      Notwithstanding
that Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any
of the circumstances described above, any of the Preferred Securities at such
time that are owned by Centex or by any Affiliate of Centex shall not be
entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be
treated as if they were not outstanding.

       

      Holders
of the Preferred Securities have no rights to increase or decrease the number of
Trustees or to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee, which voting rights are
vested exclusively in the Holders of the Common Securities.

       

      7.           Pro Rata
Treatment.  A reference in these terms of the Preferred
Securities to any payment, Distribution or treatment as being “Pro Rata” shall
mean pro rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to
the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in
relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in
which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each
Holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate
liquidation amount of Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative
to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and
only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the
aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder
relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities
outstanding.

      
        
           

        

        
          B-14

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      8.           Ranking.  The
Preferred Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon will be made Pro Rata
with the Common Securities, except that when an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the rights of Holders of Preferred Securities to payment in respect
of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise rank in
priority to the rights of Holders of the Common Securities.

       

      9.           Transfer, Exchange, Method of
Payments.  Payment of Distributions and any Additional Amounts
and payments on redemption of the Preferred Securities will be payable, the
transfer of the Preferred Securities will be registrable, and Preferred
Securities will be exchangeable for Preferred Securities of other denominations
of a like aggregate liquidation amount, at the corporate trust office of the
Property Trustee (or its Affiliate) in The City of New York; provided that
payment of Distributions and any Additional Amounts may be made at the option of
the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of
the Persons entitled thereto or by wire transfer of funds to an account
designated by such Holder and that the payment on redemption of any Preferred
Security will be made only upon surrender of such Preferred Security to the
Property Trustee.

       

      10.           Acceptance of Indenture and Preferred
Securities Guarantee.  Each Holder of Preferred Securities, by
the acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of (i) the Preferred Securities
Guarantee, including the subordination provisions therein, and (ii) the
Indenture and the Debentures, including the subordination provisions of the
Indenture.

       

      11.           No Preemptive
Rights.  The Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no
preemptive or similar rights to subscribe to any additional Preferred Securities
or Common Securities.

       

      12.           Miscellaneous.  These
terms shall constitute a part of the Declaration.  The Trust will
provide a copy of the Declaration and the Indenture to a Holder of Preferred
Securities without charge on written request to the Trust at its principal place
of business.

      [FORM OF
REVERSE OF SECURITY]

      

      Distributions
payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of ____%
(the “Coupon Rate”) of the stated liquidation amount of $______ per Preferred
Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be
held by the Property Trustee.   Distributions that are not paid
when such distributions are payable (or would be payable but for the deferral of
such payment pursuant to the Declaration or a default by Centex in the payment
of interest on the Debentures) will accumulate additional distributions thereon
at the Coupon Rate per annum (to the extent permitted by applicable law),
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually].  The term “Distributions” as
used herein means such periodic cash distributions and any such additional
distributions payable unless otherwise stated.  A Distribution will be
made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made
in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Trust has funds on hand legally available therefor.  The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full [quarterly]
[semi-annual] Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full [quarterly] [semi-annual]
Distribution period for which Distributions are computed. Distributions will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per [90-day quarter]
[180-day semi-annual period].

       

      Distributions
on the Preferred Securities will accumulate from ________ ___, _____ and will be
payable [quarterly] [semi-annually] in arrears, on [________ ___, ________ ___,]
________ ___ and ________ ___ of each year, commencing on ________ ___, ____,
except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest
payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee.  So long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Debentures, Centex has the right under the
Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by
extending the interest payment period of the Debentures at any time and from
time to time for a period not exceeding [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly]
[semi-annual] interest periods (each, an “Extension Period”), during which
Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on the
Debentures.  As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions shall
also be deferred.  Despite such deferral, Distributions will continue
to accumulate on the Preferred Securities with additional distributions thereon
(to the extent permitted by applicable law but not at a rate greater than the
rate at which interest is then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually] during any such Extension
Period.  No Extension Period shall extend beyond the stated maturity
of the Debentures.  Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, Centex may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such
Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
may not exceed [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest periods
or extend beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures.  Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due,
Centex may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements.  On the Distribution payment date at the end of an
Extension Period, payments of accumulated Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts) will be payable to Holders of Preferred Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust (regardless of who the Holders may
have been on other dates during the Extension Period) on the record date for
such Distribution payment date.

       

      The

      TERMS
OF

      COMMON
SECURITIES

       

      Pursuant
to Section 7.01(b) of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Centex
Trust [I] [II] dated as of ____________, ____ (as amended from time to time, the
“Declaration”), the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences
and other terms and provisions of the Common Securities are set forth below
(each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set forth
in the Declaration):

       

      1.            Designation and
Number.  _________ (_______) Common Securities of the Trust
with an aggregate liquidation amount at any time outstanding with respect to the
assets of the Trust of _________________ Dollars ($___________) [(including up
to ____________ (__________) Common Securities of the Trust with an aggregate
liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of _______________
($_________) issuable in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment
option set forth in the Underwriting Agreement)], and each with a liquidation
amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $______ per Common Security,
are hereby designated as “____% [[Convertible] Trust Common
Securities].”  The Common Security Certificates evidencing the Common
Securities shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex I, with
such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by
ordinary usage, custom or practice.  In connection with the issuance
and sale of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities, the Trust will
purchase as trust assets Debentures of Centex having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and
the Common Securities so issued and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to
the annual Distribution rate on the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities and having payment and redemption provisions which correspond to the
payment and redemption provisions of the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities.

       

      2.         
  Distributions and
Additional Amounts.   (a) Distributions payable on each
Common Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of ____% (the “Coupon Rate”)
of the stated liquidation amount of $______ per Common Security, such rate being
the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property
Trustee.   Distributions that are not paid when such
distributions are payable (or would be payable but for the deferral of such
payment pursuant to Section 2.1(b) below or a default by Centex in the payment
of interest on the Debentures) will accumulate additional distributions thereon
at the Coupon Rate per annum (to the extent permitted by applicable law),
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually].  The term “Distributions” as
used herein means such periodic cash distributions and any such additional
distributions payable unless otherwise stated.  A Distribution will be
made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made
in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Trust has funds on hand legally available therefor.  The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full [quarterly]
[semi-annual] Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full [quarterly] [semi-annual]
Distribution period for which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per [90-day quarter]
[180-day semi-annual period].

      
        
           

        

        
          C-1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           Distributions
on the Common Securities will accumulate from ________ ___, _____ and will be
payable [quarterly] [semi-annually] in arrears, on [________ ___, ________ ___,]
________ ___ and ________ ___ of each year, commencing on ________ ___, ____,
except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest
payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee.  So long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Debentures, Centex has the right under the
Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by
extending the interest payment period of the Debentures at any time and from
time to time for a period not exceeding [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly]
[semi-annual] interest periods (each, an “Extension Period”), during which
Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on the
Debentures.  As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions shall
also be deferred.  Despite such deferral, Distributions will continue
to accumulate on the Common Securities with additional distributions thereon (to
the extent permitted by applicable law but not at a rate greater than the rate
at which interest is then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually] during any such Extension
Period.  No Extension Period shall extend beyond the stated maturity
of the Debentures.  Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, Centex may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such
Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
may not exceed [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest periods
or extend beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures.  Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due,
Centex may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements.  On the Distribution payment date at the end of an
Extension Period, payments of accumulated Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts) will be payable to Holders of Common Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust (regardless of who the Holders may
have been on other dates during the Extension Period) on the record date for
such Distribution payment date.

       

      (c)           Distributions
and Additional Amounts on the Common Securities will be payable promptly by the
Property Trustee (or other Paying Agent) upon receipt of immediately available
funds to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the
Trust on the relevant record dates.  While the Preferred Securities
remain in book-entry only form, the relevant record dates for the Common
Securities shall be the Business Day next preceding the relevant Distribution
payment date, and if the Preferred Securities are no longer in book-entry only
form, the relevant record dates for the Common Securities will be the close of
business on the [________ ___, ________ ___,] ________ ___ and ________ ___ next
preceding the relevant Distribution payment date, which record and payment dates
correspond to the record and interest payment dates on the
Debentures.  Distributions and Additional Amounts payable on any
Common Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution payment date
as a result of Centex’s having failed to make the corresponding payment on the
Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such
Common Security is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted
payment will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Common Security
is registered on the special record date established by the Regular Trustees,
which record date shall correspond to the special record date or other specified
date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that
Distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution payment date
falling within an Extension Period unless Centex has elected to make a full or
partial payment of accrued interest on the Debentures on such Distribution
payment date.  Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the
provisions of the Declaration, each payment in respect of the Common Securities
will be made as described in Section [9] hereof.  If any date on which
Distributions and Additional Amounts are payable on the Common Securities is not
a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution and Additional Amounts payable
on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and
without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that,
if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally
payable.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the record
dates and payment dates for Distributions and Additional Amounts shall be the
same as the record dates and payment dates for the Debentures.

      
        
           

        

        
          C-2

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (d)           All
Distributions and Additional Amounts paid with respect to the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities will be paid Pro Rata (as defined below) to
the Holders thereof entitled thereto.  If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over
the Common Securities with respect to such payments.

       

      (e)           In
the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust
that is not accounted for under the Declaration, such money or property shall be
distributed Pro Rata among the Holders of the Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities.

       

      3.       
     Liquidation Distribution Upon
Dissolution.  (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution of the Trust other than as contemplated by Section 8.01(a) or (f) of
the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities will be entitled to receive Pro Rata solely out of the assets of the
Trust legally available for distribution to Holders of Preferred Securities and
Common Securities after satisfaction of liabilities to the creditors of the
Trust, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of
$______ per Preferred Security and Common Security plus accumulated and unpaid
Distributions thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto to the
date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”), unless, in
connection with such dissolution and after satisfaction of liabilities to the
creditors of the Trust, Debentures, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts
in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to such Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities, shall be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities in exchange for such
Securities.

       

      If, upon
any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part
because the Trust has insufficient assets on hand legally available to pay in
full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly
by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities shall be
paid, subject to the next paragraph, on a Pro Rata basis.

       

      Holders
of Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon
any such dissolution Pro Rata with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities
shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to such
Liquidation Distribution.

      
        
           

        

        
          C-3

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           The
Holder of the Common Securities shall have the right to direct the Property
Trustee in writing at any time to dissolve the Trust and to distribute
Debentures to Holders in exchange for Securities (which direction is optional
and wholly within the discretion of the Holder of the Common
Securities).  Upon the receipt of any such written direction, the
Property Trustee shall promptly (i) distribute Debentures in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities and the Common Securities held by each Holder, which
Debentures bear accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts in an amount
equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such
Holder, in exchange for the Preferred Securities and Common Securities of such
Holder and (ii) dissolve the Trust.

       

      (c)           On
the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures, upon dissolution of the
Trust, (i) the Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and
may be canceled by the Regular Trustees and (ii) Certificates representing
Common Securities will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the
Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the stated liquidation
amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts equal
to accumulated and unpaid Distributions on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to, such Common Securities until such Certificates are presented to
Centex or its agent for cancellation and Debentures are issued in lieu
thereof.  Debentures distributed to holders of such Certificates shall
not be issued in the form of a global certificate or certificates representing
such Debentures or any other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in
beneficial interests in such Debentures.

       

      4.       
     Redemption of
Debentures.  The Common Securities may be redeemed only if
Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities are
repaid or redeemed as set forth below:

       

      (a)           Upon
the repayment of the Debentures, in whole or in part, whether at maturity, upon
redemption at any time or from time to time [on or after _________, ____], the
proceeds of such repayment will be promptly applied to redeem Pro Rata Preferred
Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price [of $______
per Preferred Security and Common Security plus an amount equal to accumulated
and unpaid Distributions thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto
to, but excluding, the date of redemption, payable in cash (the “Redemption
Price”).] [equal to (i) in the case of the optional redemption of the Debentures
upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event (as defined below), the
Special Event Redemption Price (as defined below) or (ii) in the case of the
optional redemption of the Debentures other than as contemplated in clause (i)
above, the Optional Redemption Price (as defined below).  The Special
Event Redemption Price and the Optional Redemption Price are referred to
collectively as the “Redemption Price.”]  The date of any such
repayment or redemption of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be
established to coincide with the repayment or redemption date of the
Debentures.

      
        
           

        

        
          C-4

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      [“Special
Event Redemption Price” shall be equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation
amount of the Common Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount,
in each case plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid Distributions
thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto to, but excluding, the
date of redemption.

       

      “Optional
Redemption Price” shall be equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation amount of
the Common Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, in each
case plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon and
any Additional Amounts with respect thereto to, but excluding, the date of
redemption.

       

      “Make-Whole
Amount” shall be equal to, as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the
present values, calculated as of the redemption date, of (i) each interest
payment that would have been payable on the Debentures or portions thereof being
redeemed, if such Debentures or portions thereof were not redeemed, on each
scheduled interest payment date occurring after the redemption date (excluding
any accrued interest for the period prior to the redemption date) and (ii) the
principal amount of such Debentures or portions thereof that would have been
payable, if such Debentures or portions thereof were not redeemed, at the
scheduled maturity of such Debentures or portions thereof being redeemed (the
“Remaining Life”), in each case discounted to the redemption date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the
Adjusted Treasury Rate plus ___ basis points for the purpose of calculating the
Optional Redemption Price and ___ basis points for the purpose of calculating
the Special Event Redemption Price.

       

      “Adjusted
Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum
equal to (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately prior week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Federal Reserve Board and which establishes yields on actively
traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity date corresponding to
the Remaining Life (if no maturity date is within three months before or after
the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturity dates most closely
corresponding to the Remaining Life shall be interpolated and the Adjusted
Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a
straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or
any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the
calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to
the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day
preceding the redemption date.

       

      “Comparable
Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity date comparable to the Remaining Life that
would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the Remaining Life. If no United States Treasury security
has a maturity date which is within a period from three months before to three
months after the Remaining Life, the two most closely corresponding United
States Treasury securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and
the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a
straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such
securities.

      “Quotation
Agent” means ________________ and its successors; provided, however, that if the
foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New
York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), Centex shall substitute therefor
another Primary Treasury Dealer.

       

      “Reference
Treasury Dealer” means: (i) the Quotation Agent and (ii) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by the Debenture Trustee after consultation with
Centex.

       

      “Comparable
Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of
five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after
excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations,
or (ii) if the Debenture Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

       

      “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Debenture
Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Debenture Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption
date.]

       

      (b)           If
fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to
be so redeemed, the Common Securities will be redeemed as described in Section
4(e)(ii) below, and the Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with the
Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common
Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price.  If a
partial redemption would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by
any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred
Securities are then listed or traded, Centex pursuant to the Indenture will
redeem Debentures only in whole and, as a result, the Trust may redeem the
Common Securities only in whole.

       

      (c)           If,
at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter
defined, and each a “Special Event”) shall occur and be continuing, Centex shall
have the right at any time [prior to ________ ___, ____], upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole [or][but not]
in part for cash at the [Special Event] Redemption Price within 90 days
following the occurrence of such Special Event, and promptly following such
redemption, Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate
liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so
redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the [Special Event] Redemption Price
on a Pro Rata basis.  The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata
with the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common
Securities with respect to payment of the [Special Event] Redemption
Price.

      “Tax
Event” means that the Sponsor and the Regular Trustees shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel, who shall not be an employee of the Sponsor and who shall be
experienced in such matters, to the effect that as a result of (a) any amendment
to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any
rules or regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or
change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws, rules or
regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority (including the enactment of any legislation or the publication of any
judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or
pronouncement by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority that provides for a position with respect to such laws, rules or
regulations that differs from its previous position or a theretofore commonly
accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or
regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued
or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or
which action is taken, in each case on or after ________ ___, ____, there is
more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days
of the date thereof, subject to United States Federal income tax with respect to
income accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be
within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of
taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by Centex
to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof
will not be, deductible by Centex for United States Federal income tax
purposes.

       

      “Investment
Company Event” means that the Sponsor and the Regular Trustees shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel, who shall not be an employee of the Sponsor and
who shall be experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act, that, as
a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in
interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body,
court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a “Change in Investment
Company Act Law”), there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or
will be considered an Investment Company that is required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act, which Change in Investment Company Act Law becomes
effective on or after ________ ___, ____.

       

      (d)           The
Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Common Securities unless all
accumulated and unpaid Distributions and Additional Amounts have been paid on
all Common Securities for all [quarterly] [semi-annual] Distribution periods
terminating on or prior to the date of redemption.

       

      (e)           (i)  Notice
of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of Debentures in exchange for,
the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities (a “Redemption/Distribution
Notice”) will be given by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by mail to
each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities to be redeemed or
exchanged not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or exchange thereof.  For purposes of the calculation of
the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given
pursuant to this Section 4(e)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be
deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common
Securities.  Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to
the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the address of each
such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Trust.  No
defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof
with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or
exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

      
        
           

        

        
          C-7

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (ii)           In
the event that fewer than all the outstanding Common Securities are to be
redeemed, the Common Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from
each Holder of Common Securities (subject to adjustment to eliminate fractional
Common Securities).

       

      (iii)           If
the Trust gives a Redemption/Distribution Notice in respect of a redemption of
Common Securities as provided in this Section 4, then immediately prior to the
close of business on the redemption date, provided that Centex has paid the
Property Trustee, in immediately available funds, a sufficient amount of cash in
connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures,
Distributions will cease to accumulate on the Common Securities called for
redemption, such Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding
and all rights of Holders of such Common Securities so called for redemption
will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Common Securities to receive
the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption
Price.  Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to
register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Common Securities which
have been so called for redemption.  If any date fixed for redemption
of Common Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business
Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay)
except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment
will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the
same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for
redemption.  If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of Common
Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Property
Trustee, Distributions on such Common Securities will continue to accumulate,
from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the
actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for
purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

       

      (iv)           Redemption/Distribution
Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to the
Holders of the Common Securities.

       

      [5.           Conversion
Rights.  The Holders of Common Securities shall have the right
at any time prior to the close of business on ___________, ____ or, in the case
of Common Securities called for redemption, prior to the close of business on
the Business Day immediately prior to the redemption date, at their option, to
cause the Conversion Agent to convert Common Securities, on behalf of the
converting Holders, into shares of Common Stock in the manner described herein
on and subject to the following terms and conditions:

       

      (a)           The
Common Securities will be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Holder’s
direction to the Conversion Agent to exchange such Common Securities for a
portion of the Debentures theretofore held by the Trust on the basis of one
Common Security per $______ principal amount of Debentures, and immediately
convert such amount of Debentures into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock at an initial rate of __ shares of Common Stock per $_______
principal amount of Debentures (which is equivalent to a conversion price of
$___ per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set forth in
Sections ___ and ___ of the Supplemental Indenture (as so adjusted, the
“Conversion Price”)).

      
        
           

        

        
          C-8

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           In
order to convert Common Securities into shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall
submit to the Conversion Agent at the office referred to above an irrevocable
request to convert Common Securities on behalf of such Holder (the “Conversion
Request”), together, if the Common Securities are in certificated form, with
such Common Security Certificates.  The Conversion Request shall (i)
set forth the number of Common Securities to be converted and the name or names,
if other than the Holder, in which the shares of Common Stock should be issued
and (ii) direct the Conversion Agent (a) to exchange such Common Securities for
a portion of the Debentures held by the Trust (at the rate of exchange specified
in the preceding paragraph) and (b) to immediately convert such Debentures on
behalf of such Holder into Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set
forth in the Supplemental Indenture (at the conversion rate specified in the
preceding paragraph).  The Conversion Agent shall notify the Trust of
the Holder’s election to exchange Common Securities for a portion of the
Debentures held by the Trust and the Trust shall, upon receipt of such notice,
deliver to the Conversion Agent the appropriate principal amount of Debentures
for exchange in accordance with this Section.  The Conversion Agent
shall thereupon notify the Sponsor of the Holder’s election to convert such
Debentures into shares of Common Stock.  If a Common Security is
surrendered for conversion after the close of business on any regular record
date for payment of a Distribution and before the opening of business on the
corresponding Distribution payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion,
the Distribution payable on such Distribution payment date will be paid in cash
to the Person in whose name the Common Security is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and (other than a Common Security or a portion of
a Common Security called for redemption on a redemption date occurring after
such record date and on or prior to such Distribution payment date) when so
surrendered for conversion, the Common Security must be accompanied by payment
of an amount equal to the Distribution payable on such Distribution payment
date.  Except as provided above, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor
will make, or be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment upon any
conversion on account of any accumulated and unpaid Distributions accumulated on
the Common Securities surrendered for conversion, or on account of any
accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such
conversion, and the delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Common Securities shall be deemed to constitute full payment for all accumulated
and unpaid Distributions on the Common Securities.  Common Securities
shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of
business on the day on which a Notice of Conversion relating to such Common
Securities is received by the Trust in accordance with the foregoing provision
(the “Conversion Date”).  The Person or Persons entitled to receive
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at
such time.  As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion
Date, the Sponsor shall issue deliver at the office of the Conversion Agent a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion, together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu
of any fraction of any share to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the
same, unless otherwise directed by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion and
the Conversion Agent shall distribute such certificate or certificates, together
with the applicable cash payment, if any, to such Person or
Persons.

      
        
           

        

        
          C-9

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (c)           Each
Holder of a Common Security by his acceptance thereof appoints The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as the “Conversion Agent” for
the purpose of effecting the conversion of Common Securities in accordance with
this Section.  In effecting the conversion and transactions described
in this Section, the Conversion Agent shall be acting as agent of the Holders of
Common Securities directing it to effect such conversion
transactions.  The Conversion Agent is hereby authorized (i) to
exchange Common Securities from time to time for Debentures held by the Trust in
connection with the conversion of such Common Securities in accordance with this
Section and (ii) to convert all or a portion of the Debentures into shares of
Common Stock and thereupon to deliver such shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the provisions of this Section and to deliver to the Trust a new Debenture
or Debentures for any resulting unconverted principal amount.

       

      (d)           No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of conversion, but
in lieu thereof, such fractional interest will be paid by the Sponsor in cash
(based upon the Closing Price (as defined in the Indenture) of shares of Common
Stock on the date such Common Securities are surrendered for conversion to the
Trust) to the Conversion Agent, which in turn will make such payment to the
Holder or Holders of Common Securities so converted, or, if such day is not a
Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture), on the next Trading Day.

       

      (e)           The
Sponsor shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of the
Debentures, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the
conversion of all the Debentures then outstanding.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Sponsor shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of
Debentures, shares of Common Stock reacquired and held in the treasury of the
Sponsor (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock), so long as any such treasury shares are free and clear of all liens,
charges, security interests or encumbrances.  Any shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures shall be duly authorized, validly
issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Trust shall deliver the
shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of the Debentures to the
converting Holder of Common Securities free and clear of all liens, charges,
security interests and encumbrances, except for United States withholding
taxes.  Each of the Sponsor and the Trust shall prepare and shall use
its best efforts to obtain and keep in force such governmental or regulatory
permits or other authorizations as may be required by law, and shall comply with
all applicable requirements as to registration or qualification of Common Stock
(and all requirements to list Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
Debentures that are at the time applicable), in order to enable the Sponsor to
lawfully issue Common Stock to the Trust upon conversion of the Debentures and
the Trust to lawfully deliver Common Stock to each Holder of Common Securities
upon conversion of the Common Securities.

       

      (f)           The
Sponsor will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Debentures and the
delivery of the shares of Common Stock by the Trust upon conversion of the
Common Securities. The Sponsor shall not, however, be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the Common
Securities so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be
made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Trust the
amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Trust that
such tax has been paid.]

      (g)           Nothing
in the preceding paragraph (f) shall limit the requirement of the Trust to
withhold taxes pursuant to the terms of the Common Securities or set forth in
this Exhibit C to the Declaration or to the Declaration itself or otherwise
require the Property Trustee or the Trust to pay any amounts on account of such
withholdings.]

       

      6.     
       Voting Rights.  (a)
Except as provided under paragraph [6](b) below and as otherwise required by law
and the Declaration, the Holders of the Common Securities will have no voting
rights.

       

      (b)           Holders
of Common Securities have the sole right under the Declaration to increase or
decrease the number of Trustees, and to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee,
any such increase, decrease, appointment, removal or replacement to be approved
by Holders of Common Securities representing a Majority of Outstanding Common
Securities.

       

      If any
proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the
powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of
amendment to the Declaration, other than as described in Section 12.01(b) of the
Declaration, or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust, other than as described in Section 8.01 of the Declaration or Section
3 of this Exhibit C, then the Holders of outstanding Securities will be entitled
to vote on such amendment or proposal as a single class and such amendment or
proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of
Securities of at least a Majority of Outstanding Securities, voting together as
a single class; provided, however, that (A) if any amendment or proposal
referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred
Securities or the Common Securities, then only the affected class of Securities
will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or
proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of at least a Majority
of Outstanding Securities of such class, (B) the rights of Holders of Common
Securities under Section 5.01 of the Declaration to increase or decrease the
number of, and to appoint, replace or remove, Trustees shall not be amended
without the consent of each Holder of Common Securities, and (C) amendments to
the Declaration shall be subject to such further requirements as are set forth
in Sections 12.01 and 12.02 of the Declaration.

       

      In the
event the consent of the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, is
required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or
termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property Trustee shall
request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to
such amendment, modification or termination.  The Property Trustee
shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as
directed by a Majority of Outstanding Securities voting together as a single
class; provided, however, that where such amendment, modification or termination
of the Indenture requires the consent or vote of (1) holders of Debentures
representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount
of the Debentures or (2) each holder of Debentures, the Property Trustee may
only vote with respect to that amendment, modification or termination as
directed by, in the case of clause (1) above, the vote of Holders of Securities
representing such specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of
the Securities, or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of Securities;
and provided, further, that the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to
take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Securities
unless the Property Trustee shall have received, at the expense of the Sponsor,
an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust
will not be classified for United States Federal income tax purposes as other
than a grantor trust on account of such action.

      
        
           

        

        
          C-11

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      So long
as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the Trustees shall not (i)
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee of the Indenture (the “Debenture Trustee”), or
exercising any trust or power conferred on such Debenture Trustee with respect
to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under Section
6.06 of the Indenture or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a
declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the principal of the Debentures,
without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of a Majority
of Outstanding Common Securities and Preferred Securities.  The
Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote
of the Holders of the Common Securities except by subsequent vote of such
Holders.  The Property Trustee shall notify each Holder of Common
Securities of any notice of default with respect to the Debentures.

       

      Notwithstanding
any other provision of these terms, each Holder of Common Securities will be
deemed to have waived any Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities
and its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities have been cured, waived by the Holders of Preferred Securities as
provided in the Declaration or otherwise eliminated, and until all Events of
Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived by
the Holders of Preferred Securities or otherwise eliminated, the Property
Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of Preferred
Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right
to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Declaration
or of the Securities.  In the event that any Event of Default with
respect to the Preferred Securities is waived by the Holders of Preferred
Securities as provided in the Declaration, the Holders of Common Securities
agree that such waiver shall also constitute the waiver of such Event of Default
with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under the Declaration
without any further act, vote or consent of the Holders of the Common
Securities.

       

      A waiver
of an Indenture Event of Default by the Property Trustee at the direction of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities will constitute a waiver of the
corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the
Securities.

       

      Any
required approval or direction of Holders of Common Securities may be given at a
separate meeting of Holders of Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a
meeting of all of the Holders of Securities or pursuant to written
consent.  The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at
which Holders of Common Securities are entitled to vote to be mailed to each
Holder of record of Common Securities.  Each such notice will include
a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting, (ii) a description of
any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are
entitled to vote and (iii) instructions for the delivery of
proxies.  Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of
Securities may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent
in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Holders of Securities
owning not less than the minimum aggregate liquidation amount of Securities that
would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and
voting.

      No vote
or consent of the Holders of Common Securities will be required for the Trust to
redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute the Debentures in
accordance with the Declaration or Section 3 of this Exhibit C.

       

      7. 
          Pro Rata
Treatment.  A reference in these terms of the Common Securities
to any payment, Distribution or treatment as being “Pro Rata” shall mean pro
rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount
of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a
payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any
funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the
Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of
Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after
satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, to
each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation
amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the
aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding.

       

      8.    
       Ranking.  The Common
Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon will be made Pro Rata with the
Preferred Securities, except that when an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the rights of Holders of Common Securities to payment in respect of
Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise are
subordinate to the rights of Holders of the Preferred Securities.

       

      9.       
    Transfer, Exchange, Method of
Payments.  Payment of Distributions and any Additional Amounts
and payments on redemption of the Common Securities will be payable, the
transfer of the Common Securities will be registrable, and Common Securities
will be exchangeable for Common Securities of other denominations of a like
aggregate liquidation amount, at the corporate trust office of the Property
Trustee (or its Affiliate) in The City of New York; provided that payment of
Distributions and any Additional Amounts may be made at the option of the
Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of the
Persons entitled thereto and that the payment on redemption of any Common
Security will be made only upon surrender of such Common Security to the
Property Trustee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of Common
Securities are subject to conditions set forth in Section 9.01(c) of the
Declaration.

       

      10.           Acceptance of
Indenture.  Each Holder of Common Securities, by the acceptance
thereof, agrees to the provisions of the Indenture and the Debentures, including
the subordination provisions of the Indenture.

      11.           No Preemptive
Rights.  The Holders of Common Securities shall have no
preemptive or similar rights to subscribe to any additional Common Securities or
Preferred Securities.

       

      12.           Miscellaneous.  These
terms shall constitute a part of the Declaration.  The Trust will
provide a copy of the Declaration and the Indenture to a Holder of Common
Securities without charge on written request to the Trust at its principal place
of business.

      [FORM OF
REVERSE OF SECURITY]

       

      Distributions
payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of ____% (the
“Coupon Rate”) of the stated liquidation amount of $______ per Common Security,
such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the
Property Trustee.   Distributions that are not paid when such
distributions are payable (or would be payable but for the deferral of such
payment pursuant to Section 2.1(b) below or a default by PGS in the payment of
interest on the Debentures) will accumulate additional distributions thereon at
the Coupon Rate per annum (to the extent permitted by applicable law),
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually].  The term “Distributions” as
used herein means such periodic cash distributions and any such additional
distributions payable unless otherwise stated.  A Distribution will be
made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made
in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Trust has funds on hand legally available therefor.  The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full [quarterly]
[semi-annual] Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full [quarterly] [semi-annual]
Distribution period for which Distributions are
computed.  Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed per [90-day quarter] [180-day semi-annual
period].

       

      Distributions
on the Common Securities will accumulate from ________ ___, _____ and will be
payable [quarterly] [semi-annually] in arrears, on [________ ___, ________ ___,]
________ ___ and ________ ___ of each year, commencing on ________ ___, ____,
except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest
payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee.  So long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Debentures, Centex has the right under the
Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by
extending the interest payment period of the Debentures at any time and from
time to time for a period not exceeding [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly]
[semi-annual] interest periods (each, an “Extension Period”), during which
Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on the
Debentures.  As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions shall
also be deferred.  Despite such deferral, Distributions will continue
to accumulate on the Common Securities with additional distributions thereon (to
the extent permitted by applicable law but not at a rate greater than the rate
at which interest is then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate
compounded [quarterly] [semi-annually] during any such Extension
Period.  No Extension Period shall extend beyond the stated maturity
of the Debentures.  Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, Centex may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such
Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
may not exceed [20] [10] consecutive [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest periods
or extend beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures.  Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due,
Centex may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements.  On the Distribution payment date at the end of an
Extension Period, payments of accumulated Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts) will be payable to Holders of Common Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust (regardless of who the Holders may
have been on other dates during the Extension Period) on the record date for
such Distribution payment date.

Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

       

      [The
Common Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock (as defined
in the Declaration), through (i) the exchange of Common Securities for a portion
of the Debentures and (ii) the immediate conversion of such Debentures into
Common Stock, in the manner and according to the terms set forth in the
Declaration.]
