Debtor-In-Possession Note Receivable

18. Debtor-In-Possession Note Receivable

On November 29, 2010, Fleetwood Homes, Inc. entered into a DIP Revolving Credit Agreement (the “DIP Agreement”) and a Security Agreement (the “DIP Security Agreement”) with Palm Harbor Florida and certain of its subsidiaries. Palm Harbor Florida was a manufacturer and marketer of factory-built housing and a provider of related financing and insurance. Also on November 29, 2010, Fleetwood Homes’ newly-formed subsidiary, Palm Harbor Delaware, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Palm Harbor Florida.

Palm Harbor Florida and those of its subsidiaries that were parties to the DIP Agreement and the Purchase Agreement filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 29, 2010. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the DIP Agreement, Fleetwood Homes agreed to provide up to $55.0 million for a debtor-in-possession credit facility to finance Palm Harbor’s reorganization under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The DIP loan facility bore interest at 7% per annum. Palm Harbor Florida’s obligations under the DIP Agreement were secured by a first position lien on substantially all of Palm Harbor Florida’s assets. The credit facility was partially used by Palm Harbor Florida to extinguish its Textron Financial Corporation debt facility and to fund post-petition operations, commitments to customers, and employee obligations.

On April 23, 2011, the DIP credit facility was retired in conjunction with the closing of the acquisition of Palm Harbor Florida, discussed further below.
