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.

(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. |

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. |
