WITNESSETH
THAT: 


        WHEREAS,
the Secured Party and Debtor are parties to a certain Wholesale Security Agreement dated August 21, 2002, as may have been previously amended, modified or supplemented
(the "Agreement"); and 


        WHEREAS,
the parties hereto desire to amend certain of the terms of the Agreement; 


        NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is hereby

	1.
	All

of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

	(a)
	Fleetwood

	 	 	$	65,000,000	 	Thereafter	 	 







provided, however, that failure to meet such minimum EBITDA levels shall not constitute a default or an event of default hereunder unless, until and for
so long as a Minimum Liquidity Event shall have occurred, as of the end of the most recent calendar month, and be continuing, as outlined Subparagraph 6.1(b) of this Agreement. 



	(b)
	On
a consolidated basis, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. shall at all times maintain Fleetwood Liquidity of not equal to or less than Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000.00) for
the most recent calendar month, of which the Borrowers (on a stand alone basis) shall maintain at all times Borrower Liquidity for the most recent calendar month of not equal to or less than Sixty
Million Dollars ($60,000,000.00). 











	(c)
	Notwithstanding
anything contained elsewhere herein, capitalized terms in Sections 6.1(a) and (b) hereof shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Other Credit Facility
(defined in Section 9(l) of this Agreement), as amended, in the form of such Other Credit Facility and amendments thereto as the same have been filed by Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. with
the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date hereof. 






Not
later than forty-five calendar days after the last day of each fiscal quarter, or ninety calendar days after the last day of each fiscal year, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. shall
submit to Secured Party a certificate stating that Debtor is in compliance with each of the foregoing representations, covenants, and warranties in Section 6.1(a) and (b) (or, if
applicable, disclosing any non-compliance therewith), and shall show such supporting information for all of the foregoing as Secured Party may reasonably request. Each certificate shall be
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party and signed by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (or such other officer if
acceptable to Secured Party in its sole discretion). The amounts and calculations referred to above shall be determined as set forth in Sections 6.1(a) and (b) or in the definitions of defined
terms contained therein, or otherwise in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, excepting only as such principles may be modified above, and Textron's
calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error." 



	3.
	The
Agreement is further amended by deleting Schedule 9(L) and substituting in lieu thereof the Revised Schedule 9(L) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference.



	4.
	Except
as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and is in all respects hereby ratified and affirmed.



	5.
	This
Amendment, and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard
to such jurisdiction's principles of conflicts of laws. If any provision of this Amendment is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the
remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.



	6.
	This
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument, and a facsimile signature shall suffice as original for all purposes.
