PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Companies are registering the Offered Securities on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. As used herein, "Selling Stockholders" includes donees and pledgees selling Offered Securities received from a named Selling Stockholder after the date of this prospectus. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Offered Securities will be borne by Centex Corporation. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of the Offered Securities will be borne by the Selling Stockholders. Sales of Offered Securities may be effected by Selling Stockholders from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block transactions) on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through put or call option transactions relating to the Offered Securities, through short sales of Offered Securities, or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The Selling Stockholders have advised the Companies that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of Offered Securities by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling Offered Securities directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of Offered Securities for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of Offered Securities might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the Offered Securities sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The Companies have agreed to indemnify each Selling Stockholder against certain liabilities, which may include liabilities arising under the Securities Act under certain circumstances. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the Offered Securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the NYSE pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act. The Companies have informed the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to their sales in the market. Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Offered Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such rule. Upon the Companies being notified by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Offered Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, disclosing, (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of Offered Securities involved, (iii) the price at which such Offered Securities were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Companies being notified by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed. P - 3 5 USE OF PROCEEDS None of the Companies will receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities by the Selling Stockholders. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The Centex Selling Stockholders are certain officers and directors of Centex Corporation who may be deemed to be affiliates of Centex Corporation under the Securities Act. The Holding Selling Stockholder is an officer and director of 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation, the general partner of Centex Development Company, L.P., who may be deemed to be an affiliate of 3333 Holding Corporation and Centex Development Company, L.P. under the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an entity includes a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity. Officers and directors of the Companies who (i) in the future acquire Offered Securities pursuant to the Plans and (ii) may be deemed to be affiliates of the Companies, may be added to this Prospectus as Selling Stockholders either by means of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements or by use of a supplement to this Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act.

These documents are incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the authority of Arthur Andersen as experts in accounting and auditing in giving the report. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation, the General Partner of Centex Development Company, L.P., are Nevada corporations. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the NGCL, every Nevada corporation has the authority to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. II - 1 8 Under Nevada law, Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation also have authority to indemnify any such person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed actions or suits brought by or in the right of the corporation, but only to the extent of expenses including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees. No indemnification shall be made, however, for any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent any of the persons referred to in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is successful in the defense of the actions referred to therein, the NGCL provides that such person must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. Section 78.751 of the NGCL requires the corporation to obtain a determination that any discretionary indemnification is proper under the circumstances. Such a determination may be made by a corporation's stockholders or disinterested directors, or under certain circumstances, pursuant to an independent legal opinion. The Articles of Incorporation of Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation provide for indemnification of their directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. In addition, Section 78.037 of the NGCL permits Nevada corporations to include in their articles of incorporation a provision eliminating the personal liability of their directors and officers for damages resulting from certain fiduciary duty breaches. An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Centex Corporation was adopted by its stockholders at the annual meeting thereof held on July 15, 1987 in order to effect the permitted limitation on liability. The Articles of Incorporation of 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation contain a similar provision limiting the liability of their directors and officers for such damages, as do the Bylaws of each Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation. The Bylaws of the Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation each provide that the corporation shall indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by the NGCL and such corporation's Articles of Incorporation. In addition, the Bylaws of each corporation provide for indemnification to the same extent of any director, officer or employee of the corporation who serves in any fiduciary capacity with respect to any profit sharing, pension or other type of welfare plan or trust for the benefit of employees of the corporation or its subsidiaries. Centex Corporation has entered into indemnification contracts with its directors and may enter into similar contracts from time to time with certain officers of Centex Corporation and its subsidiaries who are not directors of Centex Corporation. The general effect of the indemnification contracts is to provide that the indemnitees shall be indemnified to the fullest possible extent permitted by the law against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Centex Corporation, by reason of their service in the foregoing capacities. The indemnification contracts were approved by the stockholders of Centex Corporation at the annual meeting of stockholders held on July 16, 1986. The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Centex Development Company, L.P., as amended (the "Limited Partnership Agreement"), provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Centex Development Company, L.P. will indemnify the General Partner and its directors, officers, employees and agents and persons serving on behalf of Centex Development Company, L.P. in similar capacities with other entities against liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the General Partner or such persons in connection with litigation or threatened litigation, if the General Partner or such persons acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Centex Development Company, L.P., and such General Partner's or such other person's conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, did not have any reason to believe its conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification under these provisions will be limited to the assets of Centex Development Company, L.P. Pursuant to authority granted by the NGCL and its respective Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each of Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation, and with respect to Centex Development Company, L.P., pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, has purchased directors and officers liability insurance. The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and agreements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

The undersigned Companies hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statements (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statements or any material change to such information in the Registration Statements; Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Companies pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Companies' annual reports pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Companies pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Companies have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Companies of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of any of the Companies in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Companies will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
