**Background:**
Pekin Insurance Company filed a lawsuit against Pulte Homes Corp., seeking resolution over insurance coverage matters arising from claims related to construction defects and potential liability issues. The core issue revolves around whether Pekin Insurance is obligated to provide coverage for the claims filed against Pulte Homes by third parties due to alleged construction defects in homes built by Pulte.

- **Plaintiff (Pekin Insurance Company):** Pekin argues that based on the terms of the insurance policy, the claims filed do not fall within the scope of coverage. Pekin asserts that specific exclusions related to construction defects limit their liability, and as such, they are not obligated to defend or indemnify Pulte Homes in the underlying claims.
- **Defendant (Pulte Homes Corp.):** Pulte contends that the language of the insurance policy provides coverage for the claims asserted against them. They argue that the exclusions cited by Pekin do not apply to the situation at hand and that Pekin has a duty to defend them in the underlying lawsuit.
