This Amendment and the Consent have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party which is a party thereto and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and similar proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. The Agent's Liens in the Collateral continue to be valid, binding and enforceable first priority Liens which secure the Obligations.

3.5 No Default or Event of Default. No event has occurred and is continuing or will result from the execution and delivery of this Amendment or the Consent that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

3.6 No Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.7 Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents is and will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof and as of the effective date of this Amendment, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date.

4. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AMENDMENT. This Amendment, and the consents and approvals contained herein, shall be effective only if and when signed by, and when counterparts hereof shall have been delivered to the Agent (by hand delivery, mail or telecopy) by, Fleetwood, the Borrowers and each Lender and only if and when each of the following conditions is satisfied:

4.1 Consent of Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered to the Agent the Consent.

4.2 Consents. The Borrowers shall have received original copies of executed consents delivered by Textron Financial, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent giving their consent, effective on or prior to the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, to the Loan Parties entering into the Seventh Amendment.

4.3 No Default or Event of Default; Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. No Default or Event of Default shall exist and each of the representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the date on which this Amendment becomes effective (except that any such representation or warranty that is expressly stated as being made only as of a specified earlier date shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent a certificate confirming such matters.

4.4 Fees. The Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent for the pro rata account of all Lenders an amendment fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) times the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the Seventh Amendment.

Default or Event of Default that may have arisen prior to the date of the Amendment, but that would not be a Default or Event of Default after giving effect to this Amendment (the "Seventh Amendment Effective Date").

7. APPLICABLE LAW. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

8. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Amendment sets forth the complete agreement of the parties in respect of any amendment to any of the provisions of any Loan Document or any waiver thereof. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment do not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, amend or modify any provision of any Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or constitute a course of dealing or any other basis for altering the Obligations of any Loan Party.

9. CAPTIONS; COUNTERPARTS. The catchlines and captions herein are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall not be used to interpret or construe the provisions hereof.
