1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2003 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The interim financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

  In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein includes all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to reflect a fair presentation of the statements of the interim periods reported. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.      SEGMENT INFORMATION

  The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its business by product category. The Company’s two reportable segments are: recreational vehicles, including related parts and supplies, and housing and building. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on pretax income. Differences between reported segment amounts and corresponding consolidated totals represent corporate expenses for administrative functions and income or expenses relating to property and equipment that are not allocated to segments.

  The table below presents information about segments used by the chief operating decision maker of the Company for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

5.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and awards. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were calculated as follows:

                Effect of weighted average    
                  shares outstanding during

                Weighted average number of    
                  common shares used in basic    
                  EPS       15,479     15,427     15,469     15,436  
                Effect of dilutive securities,    
                  stock options and awards       65     37     76     39  




                Weighted average number of    
                  common shares used in    
                  diluted EPS       15,544     15,464     15,545     15,475  





  For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, 85,400 shares (295,875 and 286,875 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively), of outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market prices for the periods and their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

  The sum of the quarterly earnings per share for the three quarters may not equal year-to-date earnings per share due to rounding and changes in diluted potential common shares.

  As of September 30, 2004 and 2003, the accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, relating to unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale was $246,000 and $468,000, respectively, and relating to deferred losses on cash flow hedges was ($129,000) and ($187,000), respectively.

7.      COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

  The Company was contingently liable at September 30, 2004 to banks and other financial institutions on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by such institutions to most of the Company’s independent dealers in connection with their purchase of the Company’s recreational vehicle products. These agreements provide for the Company to repurchase its products from the financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them upon a dealer’s default. Products repurchased from dealers under these agreements are accounted for as a reduction in revenue at the time of repurchase. Although the estimated contingent liability approximates $242 million at September 30, 2004 ($238 million at December 31, 2003), the risk of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over the Company’s numerous dealers and is further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased. Based on losses previously experienced under these obligations, the Company has established a reserve for estimated losses under repurchase agreements. At September 30, 2004, $.3 million ($.3 million at December 31, 2003) was recorded as an accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements.

  The Company was also contingently liable under guarantees to financial institutions of their loans to independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $8.6 million at September 30, 2004 ($4.6 million at December 31, 2003). During 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution to form a private-label financing program to provide wholesale inventory financing to the Company’s dealers in the recreational vehicle segment. The agreement provides for a preferred program that provides financing that is subject to the standard repurchase agreement described above. In addition, the agreement provides for a reserve pool whereby the financial institution makes available an aggregate line of credit not to exceed $40 million that will provide financing for dealers that may not otherwise qualify for credit approval under the preferred program. No dealer being provided financing from the reserve pool can receive an aggregate line of credit exceeding $5 million. Per each contract year, in addition to the standard repurchase agreement described above, the Company will be liable to the financial institution for the first $2 million of aggregate losses, as defined by the agreement, incurred by the financial institution on designated dealers with higher credit risks that are accepted into the reserve pool financing program. At September 30, 2004, the Company has recorded a loss reserve of $.1 million associated with these guarantees ($.1 million at December 31, 2003).

  The Company was also contingently liable at September 30, 2004 to a financial institution on repurchase agreements in connection with financing provided by the institution to certain of the Company’s independent home builders in connection with their purchase of the Company’s housing products. This agreement provides for the Company to repurchase its products from the financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them upon a builder’s default. Products repurchased from builders under this agreement are accounted for as a reduction in revenue at the time of repurchase. Although the estimated contingent liability approximates $2.4 million at September 30, 2004, the risk of loss resulting from these agreements is spread over the Company’s numerous builders and is further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased. The Company has evaluated the potential for losses under this agreement and has determined that the resolution of any claims that may arise in the future would not materially affect the Company’s financial statements.

  During the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to guarantee the indebtedness incurred by a recreational vehicle dealer towards the purchase of a dealership facility. The guarantee is in the principal amount of $1 million for a period of five years or until all indebtedness has been fully paid, whichever occurs first. The Company has evaluated the potential for losses under this agreement and has determined that the resolution of any claims that may arise in the future would not materially affect the Company’s financial statements.

11


  In addition, the Company is liable under a guarantee to a financial institution for model home financing provided to certain independent builders doing business with the Company’s housing and building segment. The amount outstanding under this agreement at September 30, 2004 is $1.2 million. Any losses incurred under this guarantee would be offset by the proceeds from the resale of the model home and losses are limited to 20% of the original contract price, and cannot exceed $2.0 million. As of September 30, 2004, no losses have been incurred by the Company under the model home financing program.

  The Company obtains vehicle chassis for its recreational and specialized vehicle products directly from automobile manufacturers under converter pool agreements. The agreements generally provide that the manufacturer will provide a supply of chassis at the Company’s various production facilities under the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreement. Chassis are accounted for as consigned inventory until either assigned to a unit in the production process or 90 days have passed. At the earlier of these dates, the Company is obligated to purchase the chassis and it is recorded as inventory. At September 30, 2004, chassis inventory, accounted for as consigned inventory, approximated $23.3 million.

  During the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to provide financing of up to $4.9 million to a developer for the construction of a hotel. The construction loan financing period extends through February 2005, after which, the construction loan may be converted to a term loan for a period of two years, provided the terms and conditions of the agreement are met. The loans are collateralized by a first priority interest in all tangible and intangible property of the borrower. As of September 30, 2004, the Company has provided $1.4 million in financing to the developer.

  The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, most of which are ordinary disputes incidental to the industry and most of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters and any liabilities in excess of insurance coverage and self-insurance accruals will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, future business operations or cash flows.

8.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

  On March 1, 2003, the Company adopted the Performance Based Restricted Stock Plan initiated to motivate and reward participants for superior achievement of the Company’s pre-established long-term financial performance goals. This new plan, effective as of January 1, 2003, utilizes variable plan accounting, meaning that the cost of the awards are expensed over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the estimated shares to be earned at the end of the vesting period. As of September 30, 2004, a total of 186,300 contingent shares awarded to key employees under the plan were outstanding. The amounts expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 were $216,000 and $651,000, respectively, while the amount expensed during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 were $83,000 and $259,000.

  The Company has stock option plans and an employee stock purchase plan. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings for these plans, as all options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The table below illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

9.      RECLASSIFICATION

  Certain information in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 has been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation. The reclassification had no effect on net income as previously reported.

10.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Exposure Draft, “Share-Based Payments,” which is a proposed amendment to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The Exposure Draft would require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The FASB recently announced that a final standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The final standard offers the Company alternative methods of adopting this final rule. At the present time, the Company has not yet determined which alternative method it will use.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were $235.5 million, an increase of $34.7 million, or 17.3%, from the $200.8 million reported for the corresponding quarter last year. Net sales for the nine months were $671.7 million, representing an increase of 28.9% from the $521.1 million reported for the same period in 2003. The Company’s recreational vehicle segment experienced a net sales increase of 18.1% for the quarter and an increase of 34% for the nine months. Wholesale unit shipments for the RV segment increased 3.4% during the third quarter of 2004 and 11.6% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. Wholesale unit shipments of motorized products increased 22.7% and 40.9% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively, while wholesale unit shipments of towable products were down 3.4% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and were up 1.7% for the nine-month period then ended. Unit backlog for the RV Group was down 57.8% at September 30, 2004 compared to the same date in 2003.

The Company’s housing and building segment experienced a net sales increase for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 of 15.7% and an increase of 17.5% for the nine months. This increase in sales dollars was attributable to wholesale unit shipments being up 2.5% for the quarter and 5.9% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, as well as an increase in the average sales price per unit. The increased sales price per unit was a result of product mix and sales price increases and surcharges related to increased cost of raw materials, particularly lumber. Unit backlogs, measured in floors for the housing and building segment, were up 34.1% at September 30, 2004 as compared to the same date in 2003.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales increased 17.9%, or $30 million, for the three months and 29.1%, or $129.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 83.9% and 85.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 83.5% and 85.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in the dollar amount of cost of sales in the current quarter and year-to-date is attributable to the increase in sales dollars. The slight increase in the cost of sales percentage to net sales for the third quarter was primarily a result of the Company's continued investment in new business initiatives in both its recreational vehicle and housing and building segments.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses, were 12.4% for both the 2004 quarter and nine-month periods compared to 12.5% and 13.2% for the quarter and nine-month periods of 2003. As a percentage of sales, delivery expenses increased by .5 percentage points for the three-month period and decreased by .1 percentage point for the nine-month period as compared to the prior year three and nine-month periods. The increase in delivery dollars spent during the quarter was primarily related to variable delivery costs for the higher volume of units shipped, while the increase as a percentage of sales for the quarter was primarily the result of higher fuel costs. The .1 percentage point decrease for the nine-month period is the result of better utilization of the Company’s transportation equipment associated with the increase in sales volume. Selling expenses were 3.7% and 3.6% of net sales for the 2004 quarter and nine-month periods compared to 4.0% and 3.9% of net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003. The increase in selling expense dollars during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is related to increased personnel costs and increased expenses related to new product shows, seminars, and other promotional expenses. The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30 was primarily related to increased sales volume. General and administrative expenses were 3.8% of net sales for the third quarter compared to 4.1% for the 2003 corresponding quarter and 4.2% of net sales for the nine-month period compared to 4.7% for 2003. The decrease for the quarter and nine-month periods in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was related to the increased sales volume.

15


GAIN ON THE SALE OF PROPERTIES, NET

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the gain on the sale of properties was $1,268,000. The major component of the gain in 2004 was from the sale of the Goshen facility. In late March 2004, Coachmen RV Company sold its 70,000 square-foot facility in Goshen, Indiana, and moved production to a newly acquired replacement facility located five miles north of its Middlebury, Indiana complex. There were no significant gains or losses from property transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2004, nor were there any significant gains or losses from property transactions for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2003.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $552,000 and $1,442,000 for the quarter and nine-month periods in 2004 compared to $219,000 and $953,000 in the same periods last year. Interest expense varies with the amount of average outstanding long-term debt and borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.

INVESTMENT INCOME (LOSS)

There was a net investment income of $533,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to $275,000 in the same quarter of 2003. For the nine-month period, the net investment income of $1,808,000 compared to an investment income of $175,000 the previous year. The investment income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was principally attributable to earnings of the life insurance policies held and realized gains on the sale of preferred stock. Net investment income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 was principally attributable to realized gains incurred from the sale of preferred stocks. The investment income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was attributable to a cumulative preferred dividend of $536,000 from a utility company emerging from bankruptcy, earnings of the life insurance policies held and realized gains on the sale of preferred stock. The investment income of $175,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was attributable to the gains realized on the sale of preferred stocks in the third quarter of 2003 offset by an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $579,000 to adjust to market value the carrying cost of certain preferred stocks held by the Company.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, represents income of $235,000 for the third quarter of 2004 and income of $44,000 for the same quarter of the previous year. For the nine-month period, other income, net for 2004 was $321,000 compared to income of $144,000 in 2003. No items of significance caused the variances between the comparable quarters.

INCOME TAXES

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2004, the effective tax rate was 34.3% and the year-to-date rate was 34.1% compared with a 2003 third quarter and year-to-date rate of 34.1%. The Company’s effective tax rate fluctuates based upon the states where sales occur, with the level of export sales and also with the amount of nontaxable dividend income on investments.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary source of liquidity. In addition, the Company maintains a $35 million, unsecured revolving credit facility to meet its seasonal working capital needs. On July 30, 2004, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which provides for a term loan of $7.5 million. At September 30, 2004, primarily due to increases in inventories and accounts receivable, there were outstanding borrowings of $24.6 million against this bank line of credit. At September 30, 2003, there were no borrowings outstanding against the credit facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the major use of cash was for operating activities, which primarily consisted of increases in receivables and inventories offset by an increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses. The cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was primarily the result of

16


acquisitions of property and equipment to increase manufacturing capacity to meet expected production needs. The cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of net borrowings against credit facilities offset by the payment of cash dividends.

At September 30, 2004, working capital increased to $104.5 million from $96.0 million at December 31, 2003. The $55.3 million increase in current assets at September 30, 2004 versus December 31, 2003 was primarily due to increased trade receivables and inventories as a result of increased sales. The increase in current liabilities of $46.8 million was substantially due to increased trade payables, borrowings against credit facilities, and other accrued expenses.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties, and are dependent on various factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. These uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the potential fluctuations in the Company’s operating results; the condition of the telecommunications industry which purchases modular structures; the impact of performance on the valuation of intangible assets; the availability and price of gasoline and diesel fuel, which can impact the sale of recreational vehicles; the availability of chassis and appliances, which are used in the production of many of the Company’s recreational vehicle products; interest rates, which affect the affordability of the Company’s products; the availability and cost of real estate for residential housing; potential liabilities under repurchase agreements and guarantees; changing government regulations, such as those covering accounting standards, environmental matters or product warranties and recalls, which may affect costs of operations, revenues, product acceptance and profitability; legislation governing the relationships of the Company with its recreational vehicle dealers, which may affect the Company’s options and liabilities in the event of a general economic downturn; the impact of consumer confidence and economic uncertainty on high-cost discretionary product purchases, which can hinder the sales of recreational vehicles; the demand for commercial structures in the various industries that the housing and building segment serves; the ability of the housing and building segment to perform in new market segments where it has limited experience; uncertainties related to the launch of a new brand product line of recreational vehicles; consolidation of distribution channels in the recreational vehicle industry, and also on the state of the recreational vehicle and housing industries in the United States. Other factors affecting forward-looking statements include the cyclical and seasonal nature of the Company’s businesses, adverse weather conditions affecting home deliveries, changes in property taxes and energy costs, changes in federal income tax laws and federal mortgage financing programs, changes in public policy, competition in these industries, the Company’s ability to maintain or increase gross margins which are critical to profitability whether there are or are not increased sales, further developments in the war on terrorism and related international crises; oil supplies, uncertainty surrounding the 2004 elections and their possible impact on tax policy adverse to discretionary income available for purchases of high-cost consumer durables, and other risks and uncertainties. In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposure. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results may therefore appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods. The foregoing lists are not exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

At times, the Company’s actual performance differs materially from its projections and estimates regarding the economy, the recreational vehicle and building industries and other key performance indicators. Readers of this Report are cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statements involves risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. The inclusion of a forward-looking statement

17


herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company’s objectives will be achieved. For further discussion of the elements involved in this Report, see the notes and other materials included with the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing and investing yields. The Company has utilized its short-term revolving credit facility during the first nine months of 2004 for working capital needs resulting from an increase in inventories and accounts receivable. At September 30, 2004, the Company had $26.6 million of borrowings on the revolving credit facility and current maturities of long-term debt. Long-term debt at September 30, 2004 was $15.9 million and consisted mainly of industrial development revenue bonds that have variable or floating rates and a term loan. In January of 2003, the Company entered into various interest rate swap agreements that became effective in October of 2003. These swap agreements, which are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, effectively convert a portion of the Company’s variable-rate borrowings to a fixed-rate basis through November of 2011, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest rates on future interest expense. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements represents the estimated receipts or payments that would be made to terminate the agreements.

The change in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements during the third quarter of 2004 was not significant. Total accumulated loss on the swap agreements as of September 30, 2004 was $.1 million. If in the future the interest rate swap agreements were determined to be ineffective or were terminated before the contractual termination dates, or if it became probable that the hedged variable cash flows associated with the variable-rate borrowings would stop, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized losses on cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss).

At September 30, 2004, the Company had $3.4 million invested in marketable securities. The Company’s marketable securities consist of public utility preferred stocks, which typically pay quarterly fixed-rate dividends. These financial instruments are subject to market risk in that available energy supplies and changes in available interest rates would impact the market value of the preferred stocks. The Company utilizes U.S. Treasury bond futures options as a protection against the impact of increases in interest rates on the fair value of the Company’s investments in these fixed-rate preferred stocks. Outstanding options are marked to market with market value changes recognized in current earnings. The U.S. Treasury bond futures options generally have terms ranging from 90 to 180 days. Based on the Company’s overall interest rate exposure at September 30, 2004, including variable or floating rate debt and derivatives used to hedge the fair value of fixed-rate preferred stocks, a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates applied to the fair value of the financial instruments as of September 30, 2004, would have no material impact on earnings, cash flows or fair values of interest rate risk sensitive instruments over a one-year period.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2004.

During the period covered by this Report, there have been no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(B)   Risk Pool Indemnity.   TFC shall provide inventory financing to certain Builders, to be determined through mutual written agreement of the parties, which may not otherwise qualify for credit approval under normal Textron Financial credit underwriting standards (the "Risk Pool"). From time to time the parties shall prepare a writing designating the Builders included in the Risk Pool. In addition to and separate from any obligations of the Company under the Repurchase Agreement, and on an annual calendar year basis ("Contract Year"), the maximum amount the Company shall be liable to Textron Financial for regarding this indemnity shall be the lesser of (i) 20% of the average annual net outstandings on all Textron Financial company Risk Pool accounts calculated on a past 12 full month rolling basis (beginning 12 months after the first outstandings are funded in the Risk Pool) or if such period is less than 12 months after the first outstandings are funded in the Risk Pool, then the monthly average for the total number of months that have passed since the initial funding of a Risk Pool account, or (ii) $2,000,000 (Risk Pool Indemnity Maximum").

After the Risk Pool Indemnity Maximum has been incurred in any Contract Year, all remaining credit risk with respect to, and losses occurring from, the Risk Pool during that Contract Year will be assumed by Textron Financial (except for the obligations of Company and Coachman Industries, Inc. under the respective Repurchase Agreement and Guaranty. as agreed to in the Repurchase Agreement).

Textron Financial shall provide reasonable information and proof substantiating any loss submitted for reimbursement by Company hereunder.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Repurchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May, 10, 2004, between the undersigned Manufacturer (“Manufacturer”) and Textron Financial Corporation (“Textron Financial”).

RECITALS

  A. Manufacturer sells various floor plans of modular homes (“Homes”) to Independent Builders (“Builders”) who frequently desire to finance such purchases;
  B. Such Homes remain inventory of the Builder(s), typically for use as model homes, until sold by the Builder; and
  C. Textron Financial is in the business of financing the acquisition of various types of inventory, including such Homes for Builders.

AGREEMENT

In order to induce Textron Financial to finance the acquisition of Homes by a Builder and/or to induce Textron Financial to refinance Homes already in the possession of a Builder, Manufacturer agrees with Textron Financial as follows:

1.      Sale of Homes; Warranties of Manufacturer. When a Builder orders Homes from Manufacturer and requests that Textron Financial finance the acquisition of such Homes, Manufacturer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Textron Financial one or more invoices evidencing the Unit cost (“Unit Invoice”), which shall include delivery and attachment to the foundation; and Unit soft costs (“Soft Cost Invoice”). These costs and the invoices related thereto shall collectively be referred to as the Total Invoice Cost. By delivery of any Unit Invoice to Textron Financial, Manufacturer shall represent and warrant to Textron Financial that:

  (a)

Manufacturer has good title to such Homes and will, upon payment by Textron Financial of the net invoice cost therefor transfer title to such Homes to such Builder free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances;

  (b)

Such Homes are current models, are in unused condition and are free of defects;

  (c)

The Unit cost of such Homes represents the true cost of such Homes to such Builder;

  (d)

Such Homes were ordered by such Builder from Manufacturer (the “Order”), the Order was accepted by Manufacturer and such Builder requested that Textron Financial finance its acquisition of such Homes as evidenced by the issuance of an approval number by Textron Financial, which has not been prior revoked and is no more than one hundred and eighty (180) days old;

 

(e)

Such Homes conform in all respects to the Order and will not be shipped to such Builder prior to Textron Financial’s approval of such Unit Invoice for payment;

  (f)

All Unit Invoices comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws; and

  (g)

All Unit Invoices presented to Textron Financial have been reviewed by Manufacturer, and Manufacturer agrees that all Unit Invoice amounts are accurate and reasonable, and that no party other than Manufacturer or Builder has any ownership interest in the Unit Invoices at the time of presentation of the same to Textron Financial.

  (h)

Manufacturer shall further represent and warrant to Textron Financial that such Units are free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances of all parties other than Textron Financial.


In the event that Textron Financial, with the approval of Manufacturer, refinances Homes or other costs associated with the Homes already in the possession of a Builder, Manufacturer shall execute a letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each such letter executed by Manufacturer shall be considered an Unit Invoice for purposes of Manufacturer’s obligations under this Agreement. By delivery of such an executed letter to Textron Financial, Manufacturer shall make to Textron Financial the representations and warranties set forth in Subparagraphs (b), (c), (f) and (g) of this Paragraph with respect to the Homes or Invoices identified thereon.

2.      Payment Obligations. Textron Financial will establish a credit limit for each Builder approved by Textron Financial for the extension of credit. Such credit limit shall not constitute a committed line of credit and Textron Financial shall not be bound to finance any particular Homes, Unit set-up costs or Unit Soft costs. Textron Financial shall be obligated to pay the Total Invoice Cost, less any discount applicable to Textron Financial from time to time (the “Net Invoice Cost”), for invoices which Textron Financial approves and pays. Payments for Set Up Invoices and Soft Cost Invoices shall not exceed those percentages set forth in that certain Program Agreement entered into between Textron Financial and Manufacturer dated _____________, as the same may be amended from time to time. Manufacturer will secure from Textron Financial an approval number for Homes to be delivered to a Builder before they are manufactured. Manufacturer may ship its Homes in reliance upon an approval number issued by an authorized Textron Financial employee, or through Textron Financial’s online automated approval system. Manufacturer will not seek an approval number for Invoices, nor deliver to a Builder, Homes for which it does not have a bona fide order from an authorized representative of the Builder. Manufacturer will not forward to Textron Financial its Invoice and certificate of origin for payment unless it has received an approval number from Textron Financial and unless the Homes have been shipped. Textron Financial agrees: (a) it shall pay to Manufacturer the Net Invoice Cost within ten (10) business days of an invoice date or Textron Financial’s receipt of the Invoice, whichever is later; (b) it will pay the Net Invoice Cost to Manufacturer for any Home that has a valid approval number from Textron Financial; (c) it will only request Manufacturer to repurchase a Home after it has made a legal repossession of same unless otherwise agreed to, in writing, by and between Textron Financial and Manufacturer.

3.      Repurchase Obligations of Manufacturer. Should Textron Financial at any time repossess or otherwise come into actual or constructive possession of any Homes financed or refinanced by Textron Financial for any Builder regardless of the manner or method of possession, within thirty-seven (37) months following the date of Textron Financial’s purchase date of such Invoice for such Homes or Soft Costs Invoices (the “Repurchase Period”), Manufacturer shall repurchase such Homes from Textron Financial and repay to Textron Financial the Total Invoice Costs upon the following terms and conditions:


  (a)

Manufacturer shall repurchase from Textron Financial all Homes and Invoices evidencing the Total Invoice Costs within thirty (30) calendar days upon receipt of notice (“Repurchase Notice”) from Textron Financial that such Homes are in Textron Financial’s possession, wherever located and in whatever condition. Beyond warranty of title or ability to transfer Builder’s title to Manufacturer, and Textron Financial’s representation that it is transferring all of its right, title and interest to Manufacturer, such transfer shall be without any express or implied warranties including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose;

  (b)

The repurchase price for such Homes (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be equal to: (i) the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and delinquency charges owing to Textron Financial by the applicable Builder with respect to the Total Invoice Cost, plus (ii) all reasonable expenses incurred by Textron Financial in connection with the repossession, foreclosure and/or maintenance of such Homes and Invoices related thereto.

  (c)

The Repurchase Price shall be determined as of the date of the Repurchase Notice.


  (d) 

In the event that a purported sale from Manufacturer to Builder is subject to a lien in favor of Manufacturer or anyone claiming under or through Manufacturer, or is not otherwise marketable or saleable upon delivery due to damage in shipment, defects or non-compliance with applicable federal, state or local rule, laws or regulations or if Manufacturer breaches any of its representations or warranties hereunder (collectively “Non-conforming Homes”), then upon written demand by Textron Financial, Manufacturer shall pay Textron Financial the Repurchase Price with respect to such item(s) of Non-conforming Homes regardless of whether Textron Financial comes into possession of such Non-conforming Homes and the provisions of paragraph 3 shall not apply and the time limitation on Manufacturer’s obligation to repurchase in paragraph 3 shall not apply; provided however, if such Homes are deemed to be Non-conforming Homes due to a manufacturing defect or damage in shipment, Manufacturer’s obligation to pay the Repurchase Price on account of such defect or damage shall be subject to notice from Textron Financial to Manufacturer of such non-conformance or damage, and Manufacturer shall be given a reasonable time to make satisfactory repairs. Accordingly, if Manufacturer corrects and/or repairs such damage or non-conformance, then such Homes shall no longer be deemed to be Non-conforming Homes, and Textron Financial shall not issue a repurchase demand on such Homes by virtue of such defect or non-conformance.

  (e)

If Manufacturer fails to pay the Repurchase Price within thirty (30) days from the date on which Textron Financial gives written notice that such Homes are in Textron Financial’s possession, then Textron Financial shall be entitled to interest on the Repurchase Price retroactive to the date of such notice at the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (or as published in such other form as may be designated by Textron Financial from time to time), as such rate may change from time to time, plus four percent (4%) calculated on the outstanding average daily balance. Textron Financial shall have no obligation to deliver any item of Homes to any particular location in order to demand the Repurchase Price: provided, however, Manufacturer will not be liable for such Repurchase Price unless Textron Financial takes actual or constructive legal possession of the Homes.

4.      The passage of the Repurchase Period referenced above will be suspended temporarily for all affected Homes and Invoices comprising the Total Invoice Costs, as of the date any of the following events occur, and will not resume until the date Textron Financial obtains possession of the Homes by court order or consent of all relevant parties, and shall be automatically extended to 30 days after the date Textron Financial obtains such possession: (i) Textron Financial institutes any type of legal action to obtain possession of any Homes from Builder; (ii) any legal action is instituted as a result of a dispute with another creditor regarding priority rights in the Homes; (iii) a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action is filed by or on behalf of the Builder; or (iv) any legal proceeding is filed or any governmental proceedings or order which prevents Textron Financial from obtaining possession of the Homes.

5.      Events of Default. The following are events of default under this Agreement:

  (a)

Manufacturer fails in the performance of any obligation when due under this Agreement;

  (b)

Manufacturer sustains a materially adverse change in its financial condition, assets or prospects, as determined by Textron Financial in its sole discretion;

  (c)

Manufacturer fails to give Textron Financial at least fourteen (14) days advance written notice of Manufacturer’s intentions to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of substantially all of Manufacturer’s assets; or consolidate with or merge with any entity, or permit any other entity to consolidate or merge into Manufacturer, except where said merger involves the parent company or wholly owned subsidiary of the parent company; or

  (d)

Manufacturer or Textron Financial commences a case or an order of relief is entered under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar law.


6.      Textron Financial’s Remedies After Default. Upon a default hereunder, and at any time thereafter, any Manufacturer obligation herein described and any other amounts then owing by Manufacturer to Textron Financial shall become immediately due and payable. In addition, in the case of a default as described above in section 5(c), Manufacturer will be liable for all obligations that arise as a result of any funding by Textron Financial to any party other than Manufacturer until such required written notice as described in section 5(c) is received by Textron Financial. Textron Financial shall have all other rights and remedies allowed by law.

7.      Waivers; Binding Effect; Governing Law. The obligations of Manufacturer under this Agreement are absolute and unconditional. Manufacturer shall not be released from such obligations for any reason, nor shall such obligations be reduced, diminished or discharged for any reason, including without limitation, (a) any instance of modification of, or indulgence granted by Textron Financial with respect to, the obligations of any Builder owing to Textron Financial (collectively, the “Obligations” and, individually, an “Obligation”), (b) any failure of Textron Financial to timely enforce any right or remedy available to Textron Financial in connection with the Obligations, (c) any modification of any agreement securing performance of any Obligation or the substitution or the release of collateral thereunder, (d) the invalidity of any agreement forming a part of the Obligations. Manufacturer waives: (i) any right to require Textron Financial to proceed against a Builder or to pursue any other remedy prior to exercising Textron Financial’s rights under this Agreement, other than as may be expressly set forth herein, (ii) notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by Textron Financial, the non-performance of any Obligation of any Builder owing to Textron Financial, or the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time, (iii) demand and presentation for payment upon the applicable Builder, (iv) protest and notice of protest and diligence of bringing suit against any Builder,; and (vi) any other defense to Manufacturer’s obligations under this Agreement. Textron Financial’s failure to exercise any rights


granted hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of those rights. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of their successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without reference to applicable conflict of law principles.

8.      Termination by Manufacturer. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until terminated by either party by written notice to the other party. Such termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but such termination shall not affect the liabilities of Manufacturer with respect to Invoices paid by Textron Financial and Invoices and Homes approved for payment and financing by Textron Financial prior to the effective date of such termination, even though such Invoices are paid by Textron Financial thereafter, and such termination shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties as to any transaction entered into prior to the receipt of such notice of termination, including without limitation transactions for which approvals are pending or which will not be completed until after the effective date of termination. It is specifically agreed between the parties that termination shall not limit or relieve Manufacturer from its repurchase obligations hereunder for Homes and Invoices financed prior to the effective date of the termination notice which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9.      Miscellaneous.

  (a)

Textron Financial and Manufacturer acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between them.

  (b)

All remedies in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not alternative.

  (c)

If Textron Financial is required to enforce its rights hereunder through legal proceedings or otherwise, Manufacturer shall pay court costs and Textron Financial’s reasonable attorney fees.

  (d)

Textron Financial may assign this Agreement, but Manufacturer may not assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Textron Financial.

  (e)

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

  (f)

Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be either delivered or mailed in the United States mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested with proper postage prepaid, to the party to be notified at the address for such party in this Agreement. Any such notice shall be deemed effectively given and received for all purposes upon the earlier of (i) the delivery of such notice to the address of the party notified; (ii) refusal to accept delivery by the party being notified; or (iii) two (2) days after the notice is deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, properly addressed to the party notified. Any party may change its address for notice by giving the other party written notice of change of address.

  (g)

The provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing contained herein shall affect or impair any rights which either party hereto may have against Builder or any other party.


Executed as of the date first set forth above.

Re:    That certain Repurchase Agreement dated as of , , 20, between ("Manufacturer") and Textron Financial Corporation ("Textron Financial") (the "Repurchase Agreement")

Dear      :

Textron Financial desires to provide certain financial accommodations to (“Builder”) secured by those Homes identified on this Exhibit A incorporated herein by reference (“Homes”). As a condition of Textron Financial providing such financial accommodations to Builder, however, Manufacturer must agree that all of the Homes shall be subject to all of its liabilities and obligations under the Repurchase Agreement as if Textron Financial had originally financed the Builder’s acquisition of the Homes pursuant to and in reliance on the terms of the Repurchase Agreement.

Please acknowledge Manufacturer’s agreement that all of the Homes shall be subject to all of Manufacturer’s liabilities and obligations under the Repurchase Agreement as if Textron Financial originally financed the Builder’s acquisition of the Homes pursuant to and in reliance on the terms of the Repurchase Agreement by signing below and by signing Exhibit A, and return your original signatures to me via facsimile and U.S. Mail.

Thank you.
