                               INDEMNITY AGREEMENT


         This agreement is made as of the ___ day of __________, 2000, between
Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), and the
undersigned ("Agent"), with reference to the following facts:

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Agent is currently serving as an Director of the Corporation and
the Corporation wishes the Agent to continue in such capacity. The Agent is
willing under certain cirumstances, to continue in such capacity.

         B. The Corporation and the Agent are of the belief that the indemnities
available under the Corporation's bylaws and available insurance may not be
adequate to protect the Agent against the risks associated with the Agent's
service to the Corporation.

                                    AGREEMENT

         In order to induce the Agent to continue to serve as an Director of the
Corporation and in consideration for his continued service, the Corporation
hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent as follows:

         1. The Corporation will pay on behalf of the Agent, and his executors,
administrators or assigns, any amount which he is or becomes legally obligated
to pay because of any claim or claims made against him because of any act or
omission or neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error or
misstatement or misleading statement, which he commits or suffers while acting
in his capacity as an Director of the Corporation and solely because of his
being an Director. The payments which the Corporation will be obligated to make
hereunder shall include, inter alia, damages, judgments, settlements and costs,
cost of investigation (excluding salaries of officers and employees of the
Corporation) and costs of defense of legal actions, claims or proceedings and
appeals therefrom, and costs of attachment or similar bonds; provided however,
that the Corporation shall not be obligated to pay fines or obligations or fees
imposed by law or otherwise make any payments hereunder which it is prohibited
by applicable law from paying as indemnity or for any other reason.


         2. If a Claim under this Agreement is not paid by the Corporation, or
on its behalf, within ninety days after a written claim has been received by the
Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole
or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting such claim.

         3. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall
be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of
the Agent, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that
may be necessary to

<Page>

secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to
enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

         4. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any
payment in connection with any claim made against the Agent:

           (a) for which payment is actually made to the Agent under a valid and
collective insurance policy, except in respect of any excess beyond the amount
of payment under such insurance;

           (b) for which the Agent is entitled to indemnity and/or payment by
reason of having given notice of any circumstance which might give rise to a
claim under any policy of insurance, the terms of which have expired prior to
the effective date of this Agreement;

           (c) for which the Agent is indemnified by the Corporation otherwise
than pursuant to this Agreement;

           (d) based upon or attributable to the Agent gaining in fact any
personal profit or advantage to which he was not legally entitled;

           (e) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by
the Agent of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
provisions of any state statutory law or common law; or

           (f) brought about or contributed to by the dishonesty of the Agent
seeking payment hereunder; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent
shall be protected under this Agreement as to any claims upon which suit may be
brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his part, unless a
judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the Agent shall
establish that he committed (i) acts of active and deliberate dishonesty (ii)
with actual dishonest purpose and intent, which acts were material to the cause
of action so adjudicated.

         5. No costs, charges or expense for which indemnity shall be sought
hereunder shall be incurred without the Corporation's consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         6. The Agent, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified
under this Agreement, shall give to the Corporation notice in writing as soon as
practicable of any claim made against him for which indemnity will or could be
sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Corporation shall be directed to the
Corporation at its Corporate Headquarters, attention: The Corporate Secretary
(or such address as to the Corporation shall designate in writing to the Agent);
notice shall be deemed received if sent by prepaid mail properly addressed, the
date of such notice being the date postmarked. In addition, the Agent shall give
the Corporation such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require
and as shall be within the Agent's power.

         7. Costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by the Agent
in defending or investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
shall be paid by

<Page>

the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter, if the Agent
shall undertake in writing to repay any such advances in the event that it is
ultimately determined that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification under
the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision of this Agreement, no advance shall be made by the Corporation if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made by the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or ( if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel, that, based upon the facts known to the
board or counsel at the time such determination is made, (a) the Agent acted in
bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to the corporation or its
stockholders, and (b) as a result of such actions by the Agent, it is more
likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that the Agent is not
entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Agreement.

         8. Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the
Agent's right to indemnification under any provision of the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation or under Delaware law.

         9. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
Delaware law.

          10. This Agreement shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of
the Corporation (including any transferee of all or substantially all of its
assets and any successor by merger or operation of law) and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, personal representatives and estate of the Agent.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and signed as of the day and year first above written.


                                    FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.
