Securities may, by vote, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Preferred
Securities, waive any past Event of Default in respect of the Preferred
Securities and its consequences, PROVIDED, that if the underlying Event of
Default under the Indenture:

                  (i) is not waivable under the Indenture, the Event of Default
         under the Declaration also shall not be waivable; or

                  (ii) requires the consent or vote of (x) holders of Debentures
         representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in
         principal amount of the Debentures (a "Super Majority") or (y) each
         holder of Debentures affected thereby to be waived under the Indenture,
         then the Event of Default under the Declaration may only be waived by
         the vote of, in the case of (x) above, the Holders of at least the
         proportion in liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred
         Securities that the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
         principal amount of the Debentures outstanding or, in the case of (y)
         above, each Holder of outstanding Preferred Securities affected
         thereby.

         The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(a) shall be in lieu of
Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of
the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and
the Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Upon such waiver, any
such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the
Preferred Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities or impair any right consequent thereon. Any waiver by the Holders of
the Preferred Securities of an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Holders of the
Common Securities of any such Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities for all purposes of this Declaration without any further act, vote,
or consent of the Holder(s) of the Common Securities.

         (b) The Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities may, by vote, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Common
Securities, waive any past Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities and its consequences, PROVIDED, that if the underlying Event of
Default under the Indenture:

                  (i) is not waivable under the Indenture, except where the
         Holders of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event
         of Default under the Declaration as provided below in this Section
         2.6(b), the Event of Default under the Declaration also shall not be
         waivable; or

                  (ii) requires the consent or vote of (x) a Super Majority or
         (y) each holder of Debentures affected thereby to be waived, except
         where the Holders of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived
         such Event of Default under the Declaration as

                                       9
<Page>

         provided below in this Section 2.6(b), the Event of Default under the
         Declaration may only be waived by the vote of, in the case of clause
         (x) above, the Holders of at least the proportion in aggregate
         liquidation amount of the Common Securities that the relevant Super
         Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
         outstanding or, in the case of clause (y) above, each holder of
         outstanding Common Securities affected thereby; PROVIDED, FURTHER, each
         Holder of Common Securities shall be deemed to have waived any such
         Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the Common
         Securities and its or their consequences until all Events of Default
         with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or
         otherwise eliminated, and until such Events of Default have been so
         cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee will be
         deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred
         Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have
         the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms
         of the Securities. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(b)
         shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and
         such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby
         expressly excluded from this Declaration and the Securities, as
         permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to the foregoing
         provisions of this Section 2.6(b), upon such waiver, any such default
         shall cease to exist and any Event of Default with respect to the
         Common Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured
         for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend
         to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default with respect to
         the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

         (c) A waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the Property
Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities constitutes
a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under this Declaration. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(c) shall be in lieu of Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the
Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and the
Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 2.7       EVENT OF DEFAULT; NOTICE.

         (a) The Property Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of
an Event of Default, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Holders of the Securities, notices of all defaults with respect to the
Securities actually known to Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, unless
such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults" for the purposes of this Section 2.7(a) being hereby defined to be an
Event of Default as defined in the Indenture with respect to the Debentures, not
including any periods of grace provided for therein and irrespective of the
giving of any notice provided therein); PROVIDED, that, except for a default in
the payment of principal of (or premium, if any), interest (including Compounded
Interest and Additional Interest, if any (each as defined in the Indenture)), or
Additional Redemption Distributions, if any, on any of the Debentures, the
Property Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Property Trustee in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Securities.

default with respect to the Debentures except:

         Indenture; or

         received written notice or of which a Responsible Officer of the
         Property Trustee charged with the administration of the Declaration
         shall have actual knowledge.

         upon the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (B) waive
         any past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (C) exercise any
         right to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the
         Debentures shall be due and payable, or (D) consent to any amendment,
         modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where
         such consent shall be required unless the Trust shall have received an
         opinion of counsel to the effect that such modification will not cause
         more than an insubstantial risk that (x) the Trust will be deemed an
         Investment Company required to be registered under the Investment
         Company Act, or (y) for United States federal income tax purposes the
         Trust will not be classified as a grantor trust.

SECTION 3.8       LEGAL TITLE TO THE DEBENTURES.

         (a) The legal title to the Debentures shall be owned by and held of
record in the name of the Property Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities. The right, title and interest of the Property Trustee
to the Debentures shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Property Trustee in accordance with Section 5.6. Such vesting and
cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents with
regard to the Debentures have been executed and delivered.

         (b) The Property Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and
interest in the Debentures to the Regular Trustees or to the Delaware Trustee
(if the Property Trustee does not

                                       15
<Page>

also act as Delaware Trustee). The Trust and the Trustee shall not convert any
Debentures held by either of them except pursuant to a notice of conversion
delivered to the Conversion Agent by a Holder of Trust Securities.

         (c) The Property Trustee shall:

                  (i) establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing
         trust account (the "Property Trustee Account") in the name of and under
         the exclusive control of the Property Trustee on behalf of the Holders
         of the Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of funds made in
         respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee, deposit such
         funds into the Property Trustee Account and make payments to the
         Holders of the Preferred Securities and Holders of the Common
         Securities from the Property Trustee Account in accordance with Section
         6.1. Funds in the Property Trustee Account shall be held uninvested
         until disbursed in accordance with this Declaration. The Property
         Trustee Account shall be an account that is maintained with a banking
         institution (which may be the Property Trustee) the rating on whose
         long-term unsecured indebtedness is at least equal to the rating
         assigned to the Preferred Securities by a "nationally recognized
         statistical rating organization," as that term is defined for purposes
         of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act;

                  (ii) engage in such ministerial activities as so directed and
         as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the redemption of the
         Preferred Securities and the Common Securities to the extent the
         Debentures are redeemed or accelerated or mature;

                  (iii) upon notice of distribution issued by the Regular
         Trustees in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage in such
         ministerial activities as so directed as shall be necessary or
         appropriate to effect the distribution of the Debentures to Holders of
         Securities upon the occurrence of an Investment Company Event or a Tax
         Event; and

                  (iv) take such ministerial action as may be directed in
         writing by the Regular Trustees in connection with the winding up of
         the affairs of or liquidation of the Trust in accordance with this
         Declaration and the preparation, execution and filing of a certificate
         of termination or other appropriate certificates with the Secretary of
         State of the State of Delaware and other appropriate governmental
         authorities.

         (d) The Property Trustee shall take all actions and perform such duties
as may be specifically required of the Property Trustee pursuant to the terms of
the Securities.

         (e) The Property Trustee shall take any Legal Action which arises out
of or in connection with an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of
the Property Trustee has actual knowledge or the Property Trustee's duties and
obligations under this Declaration or the Trust Indenture Act. The Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Property Trustee or to direct the exercise of any trust or
power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the
right to direct the Property Trustee to exercise the remedies available to it as
a holder of the Debentures. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights
under the Debentures, a Holder of Preferred Securities, to the

                                       16
<Page>

fullest extent permitted by law, may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Debenture Issuer to enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the
Debentures without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property
Trustee or any other Person; PROVIDED, further, that, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the
Debenture Issuer to pay principal of, premium, if any, interest or Additional
Redemption Distributions, if any, on the Debentures on the date such principal,
premium, interest or Additional Redemption Distributions, if any, as the case
may be, is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption
date), then a Holder of Preferred Securities may directly institute a proceeding
for enforcement of payment to such Holder directly of such principal amount
equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities of such
Holder (a "Direct Action") on or after the respective due date specified in the
Debentures or the Indenture. Notwithstanding any payments made to such Holder by
the Debenture Issuer, in connection with such Direct Action, the Debenture
Issuer shall remain obligated to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest
or Additional Redemption Distributions, if any, on such Debentures, and the
Debenture Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of Preferred
Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Debenture Issuer to such
Holder of Preferred Securities to the extent of any payment made by the
Debenture Issuer to such Holder of Preferred Securities in such Direct Action.
Except as provided in the preceding sentences of this paragraph, the Holders of
Preferred Securities shall have no right or power to exercise directly any other
remedy available to the holders of the Debentures.

         (f) The Property Trustee shall not resign as a Trustee unless either:

                  (i) the Trust has been completely liquidated and the proceeds
         of the liquidation distributed to the Holders of Securities pursuant to
         the terms of the Securities; or

                  (ii) a Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and has
         accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 5.6.

         (g) The Property Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise all of
the rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Debentures under the Indenture
and, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Property Trustee
shall, for the benefit of Holders of the Securities, enforce its rights as
holder of the Debentures subject to the rights of the Holders pursuant to the
terms of such Securities. In no event, however, may the Property Trustee, in its
capacity as holder of the Debentures, have the power to convert the Debentures
unless instructed to do so on behalf of a Holder of Securities as herein
provided.

         (h) The Property Trustee will act as Registrar, Paying Agent and
Conversion Agent and may authorize one or more persons (each, a "Paying Agent")
to pay Distributions, redemption payments or liquidation payments on behalf of
the Trust with respect to all Securities and any such Paying Agent shall comply
with Section 317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any Paying Agent may be removed
by the Property Trustee at any time and a successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agents may be appointed at any time by the Property Trustee.

         (i) Subject to this Section 3.8, the Property Trustee shall have none
of the duties, liabilities, powers or the authority of the Regular Trustees set
forth in Section 3.6.

                                       17
<Page>

         The Property Trustee must exercise the powers set forth in this Section
3.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust
set out in Section 3.3, and the Property Trustee shall not take any action that
is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section
3.3.

SECTION 3.9       CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

         (a) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Declaration and no implied covenants shall be read into this Declaration against
the Property Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not
been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6) of which a Responsible Officer of
the Property Trustee has actual knowledge, the Property Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

         (b) No provision of this Declaration shall be construed to relieve the
Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

                  (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
         the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have
         occurred:

                           (A) the duties and obligations of the Property
                  Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
                  of this Declaration and the Property Trustee shall not be
                  liable except for the performance of such duties and
                  obligations as are specifically set forth in this Declaration,
                  and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
                  this Declaration against the Property Trustee; and

                           (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
                  Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely,
                  as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
                  opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
                  furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the
                  requirements of this Declaration; but in the case of any such
                  certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
                  specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee,
                  the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
                  to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
                  of this Declaration;

                  (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
         judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Property
         Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was
         negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                  (iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
         any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
         accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a
         Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities relating to the time,
         method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
         to the Property

                                       18
<Page>

         Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property
         Trustee under this Declaration;

                  (iv) no provision of this Declaration shall require the
         Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
         personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or
         in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
         reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or
         liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
         Declaration or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
         reasonably assured to it;

                  (v) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the
         custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and
         the Property Trustee Account shall be to deal with such property in a
         similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for
         its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on
         liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Declaration and
         the Trust Indenture Act;

                  (vi) the Property Trustee shall have no duty or liability for
         or with respect to the value, genuineness, existence or sufficiency of
         the Debentures or the payment of any taxes or assessments levied
         thereon or in connection therewith;

                  (vii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any
         interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree
         in writing with the Sponsor. Money held by the Property Trustee need
         not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the
         Property Trustee Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to
         Section 3.8(c)(i) and except to the extent otherwise required by law;
         and

                  (viii) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
         monitoring the compliance by the Regular Trustees or the Sponsor with
         their respective duties under this Declaration, nor shall the Property
         Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Regular Trustees
         or the Sponsor.

SECTION 3.10      CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9:

                  (i) the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
         fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
         resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
         notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note,
         other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by
         it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the
         proper party or parties;

                  (ii) any direction or act of the Sponsor or the Regular
         Trustees contemplated by this Declaration shall be sufficiently
         evidenced by an Officers' Certificate;

                  (iii) whenever in the administration of this Declaration, the
         Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
         established before taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder,
         the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically
         prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and
         rely upon

                                       19
<Page>

         an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be
         promptly delivered by the Sponsor or the Regular Trustees;

                  (iv) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
         recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any
         financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or
         securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or registration thereof;

                  (v) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel or other
         experts and the advice or opinion of such counsel and experts with
         respect to legal matters or advice within the scope of such experts'
         area of expertise shall be full and complete authorization and
         protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
         hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion,
         and such counsel may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its
         Affiliates, and may include any of its employees; and the Property
         Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions
         concerning the administration of this Declaration from any court of
         competent jurisdiction;

                  (vi) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to
         exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration
         at the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall
         have provided to the Property Trustee adequate security and indemnity,
         reasonably satisfactory to the Property Trustee, against the costs,
         expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that
         might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction,
         including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Property
         Trustee; PROVIDED, that nothing contained in this Section 3.10(a)(vi)
         shall be taken to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of
         an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and
         powers vested in it by this Declaration;

                  (vii) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any
         investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         direction, consent, order, security, bond, debenture, note, other
         evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Property
         Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
         investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

                  (viii) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
         powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
         or through agents or attorneys and the Property Trustee shall not be
         responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent
         or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

                  (ix) any action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents
         hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Securities, and
         the signature of the Property Trustee or its agents alone shall be
         sufficient and effective to perform any such action and no third party
         shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Property
         Trustee to so act or as to its compliance with any of the terms and
         provisions of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively
         evidenced by the Property Trustee's or its agent's taking such action;

                                       20
<Page>

                  (x) whenever in the administration of this Declaration the
         Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
         respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action
         hereunder the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the
         Holders of the Securities which instructions may only be given by the
         Holders of the same proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities
         as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of
         the Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may
         refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action
         until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in
         acting in accordance with such instructions; and

                  (xi) except as otherwise expressly provided by this
         Declaration, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
         take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this
         Declaration.

         (b) No provision of this Declaration shall be deemed to impose any duty
or obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any
right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction
in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be
unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any
such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No
permissive power or authority available to the Property Trustee shall be
construed to be a duty.

SECTION 3.11      DELAWARE TRUSTEE.

         Notwithstanding any provision of this Declaration other than Section
5.2, the Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor
shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities of the
Regular Trustees or the Property Trustee described in this Declaration. Except
as set forth in Section 5.2, the Delaware Trustee shall be a Trustee for the
sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of the
Business Trust Act. The duties of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to (a)

of Sate which the Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section 3811 of
the Business Trust Act.

SECTION 3.12      EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS.

         Unless otherwise determined by the Regular Trustees, and except as
otherwise required by the Business Trust Act, any Regular Trustee is authorized
to execute on behalf of the Trust any documents that the Regular Trustees have
the power and authority to execute pursuant to Section 3.6; PROVIDED, that the
registration statement referred to in Section 3.6(b)(i), including any
amendments thereto, shall be signed by a majority of the Regular Trustees.

SECTION 3.13      NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

         The Trustees do not assume any responsibility for the correctness of
the recitals contained in this Declaration and the Securities. The Trustees make

any part thereof. The Trustees make no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Declaration or the Securities.

SECTION 3.14      DURATION OF TRUST.

         The Trust, unless terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII
hereof, shall exist until February 15, 2018.

SECTION 3.15      MERGERS.

         (a) The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or
be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, except as described in Section
3.15(b) and (c)

         (b) The Trust may, with the consent of a majority of the Regular
Trustees, and without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, the Delaware
Trustee or the Property Trustee, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or
be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any State or the
District of Columbia; PROVIDED, that:

                  (i) if the Trust is not the surviving entity, the successor
         entity (the "Successor Entity") either:

                           (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the
                  Trust under the Securities; or

                           (B) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other
                  securities having substantially the same terms as the
                  Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") as long as
                  the Successor Securities rank, with respect to Distributions
                  and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise of the
                  Successor Entity, at least as high as the Preferred Securities
                  rank with respect to Distributions and payments upon
                  liquidation, redemption and otherwise of the Trust;

                  (ii) if the Trust is not the surviving entity, the Debenture
         Issuer expressly acknowledges or appoints a trustee of such Successor
         Entity that possesses the same powers and duties as the Property
         Trustee, as holder of the Debentures;

                  (iii) the Preferred Securities or any Successor Securities are
         listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of
         issuance, on any national securities exchange or with any other
         organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or
         quoted;

                  (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement
         does not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor
         Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical
         rating organization;

                  (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement
         does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the
         Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor

                  (vi) such Successor Entity has a purpose substantially
         identical to that of the Trust;

                  (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
         replacement, the Sponsor has received an opinion of a nationally
         recognized independent counsel to the Trust experienced in such matters
         to the effect that:

                           (A) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
                  replacement will not adversely affect the rights, preferences
                  and privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including any
                  Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with
                  respect to any dilution of the Holders' interest in the
                  Successor Entity;

                           (B) following such merger, consolidation,
                  amalgamation or replacement, neither the Trust nor the
                  Successor Entity will be required to register as an Investment
                  Company; and

                           (C) following such merger, consolidation,
                  amalgamation or replacement, the Successor Entity will be
                  treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income
                  tax purposes;

                  (viii) if the Trust is not the surviving entity, the Sponsor
         provides a guarantee to the Holders of the Successor Securities with
         respect to the Successor Entity having substantially the same terms as
         the Preferred Securities Guarantee.

         (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by any other Person
or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or
replace it, if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would
cause the Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

such Successor Property Trustee and delivered to the Regular Trustees and the

         (c) The Trustee that acts as Delaware Trustee shall not be removed in

appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Delaware Trustee
and delivered to the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor.

         (d) A Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until his successor

Trustee may resign from office (without need for prior or subsequent accounting)
by an instrument in writing signed by the Trustee and delivered to the Sponsor

                  (i) No such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the
         Property Trustee shall be effective:

                           (A) until a Successor Property Trustee has been
                  appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument
                  executed by such Successor Property Trustee and delivered to
                  the Trust, the Sponsor and the resigning Property Trustee; or

                           (B) until the assets of the Trust have been
                  completely liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to
                  the holders of the Securities;

                  (ii) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the
         Delaware Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Delaware Trustee

         the Sponsor and the resigning Delaware Trustee.

         (e) The Holder(s) of the Common Securities shall use its or their best
efforts to promptly appoint a Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware
Trustee, as the case may

                                       27
<Page>

be, if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee delivers an instrument of
resignation in accordance with this Section 5.6.

         (f) If no Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee
shall have been appointed and accepted such appointment as provided in this
Section 5.6 within 60 days after removal or after delivery to the Sponsor and
the Trust of an instrument of resignation, the retiring Property Trustee or
Delaware Trustee, as applicable, may petition any court of competent

         If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of
Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 5.1, or if the number of Trustees is
increased pursuant to Section 5.1, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution
certifying the existence of such vacancy by a majority of the Regular Trustees
shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall
be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 5.6.

SECTION 5.8       EFFECT OF VACANCIES.

         The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall
not operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Regular
Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a
Regular Trustee in accordance with Section 5.6, the Regular Trustees in office,
regardless of their number, shall have all the powers granted to the Regular
Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Regular Trustees by
this Declaration. The Delaware Trustee may resign immediately upon notice to the
Sponsor if the Delaware Trustee is required to join in any filing or execute on
behalf of the Trust any document pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2(a),
(b), (c) or (d) hereof and, upon giving such notice, the Delaware Trustee shall
not be required to join in any such filing or execute on behalf of the Trust any
document; provided, further, however, that no resignation of the Delaware

Delaware Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Sponsor, the Regular Trustees
and the resigning Delaware Trustee.

SECTION 5.9       MEETINGS.

         Meetings of the Regular Trustees shall be held from time to time upon
the call of any Regular Trustee. Regular meetings of the Regular Trustees may be

telephonic meetings of the Regular Trustees or any committee thereof shall be
hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a
hard copy by overnight courier) not less than

                                       28
<Page>

24 hours before a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time,
place and anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person
or by telephone) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground
that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided
otherwise in this Declaration, any action of the Regular Trustees may be taken
at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Regular Trustees present (whether in
person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such matter,
provided that a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written
consent of the Regular Trustees. In the event there is only one Regular Trustee,
any and all action of such Regular Trustee shall be evidenced by a written
consent of such Regular Trustee.

SECTION 5.10      DELEGATION OF POWER.

applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or
her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section
3.6, including any registration statement or amendments thereto filed with the
Commission, or making any other governmental filing; and

         (b) The Regular Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time
to such of their number or to officers of the Trust the doing of such things and
the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names
of the Regular Trustees or otherwise as the Regular Trustees may deem expedient,
to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to
the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

SECTION 5.11      MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.

         Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as
the case may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
the corporate trust business of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as
the case may be, shall be the successor of the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, such successor shall notify the Sponsor and the Trust promptly of its
succession.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 6.1       DISTRIBUTIONS.

         Holders shall receive Distributions (as defined herein) in accordance
with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Securities. Distributions
shall be made on the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities in

the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of interest (including
Compounded Interest and Additional Interest (each as defined in the Indenture)),
principal or

                                       29
<Page>

premium, if any, on the Debentures held by the Property Trustee (the amount of
any such payment being a "Payment Amount"), the Property Trustee shall and is
directed, to the extent funds are available for that purpose, to make a
distribution (a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to Holders.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

SECTION 7.1       GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING SECURITIES.

         (a) The Regular Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one class
of convertible preferred securities, representing undivided beneficial interests
in the assets of the Trust (the "Preferred Securities"), having such terms (the
"Terms") as are set forth in Annex I hereto and one class of convertible common
securities, representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the
Trust (the "Common Securities"), having such terms as are set forth in Annex I
hereto. The Trust shall have no securities or other interests in the assets of
the Trust other than the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities. The
Trust shall not issue any Securities in bearer form.

         (b) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the
Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall
not constitute a loan to the Trust.

         (c) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration,
the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, subject to Section 10.1 with respect to the Common Securities.

         (d) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Preferred
Security Beneficial Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration,
shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall
be bound by, this Declaration.

         (e)      The Securities shall have no preemptive rights.

SECTION 7.2       EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

         (a) The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one
Regular Trustee. In case any Regular Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed
any of the Securities shall cease to be such Regular Trustee before the
Securities so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Securities
nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such Securities
had not ceased to be such Regular Trustee; and any Securities may be signed on
behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such
Securities, shall be the Regular Trustees of the Trust, although at the date of
the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such a
Regular Trustee.

         (b) One Regular Trustee shall sign the Preferred Securities for the
Trust by manual or facsimile signature. Unless otherwise determined by the
Trust, such signature shall, in the case of Common Securities, be a manual
signature.

                                       30
<Page>

         A Preferred Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of an authorized officer of the Property Trustee. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Security has been
authenticated under this Declaration.

         Upon a written order of the Trust signed by one Regular Trustee,
together with an Officers' Certificate contemplated by Section 2.5, the Property
Trustee shall authenticate the Preferred Securities for original issue as set
forth in paragraph 5 of the Preferred Securities. The aggregate number of
Preferred Securities outstanding at any time shall not exceed the number set
forth in the Terms in Annex I hereto except as provided in Section 7.7.

         The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Trust to authenticate Preferred Securities. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Preferred Securities whenever the Property Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Declaration to authentication by the Property Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. Any authenticating agent has the same rights as
the Property Trustee to deal with the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor.

SECTION 7.3       FORM AND DATING.

         The Preferred Securities and the Property Trustee's certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the forms of Exhibit A-1 and the Common
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, each of which is
hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Declaration.
Certificates may be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any
other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. The Securities may have
letters, numbers, notations or other marks of identification or designation and
such legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to
which the Trust is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation,
legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Trust). The Trust at the
direction of the Sponsor shall furnish any such legend not contained in Exhibit
A-1 to the Property Trustee in writing. Each Preferred Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions of the Securities set
forth in Annex I and the forms of Securities set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2
are part of the terms of this Declaration and to the extent applicable, the
Property Trustee and the Sponsor, by their execution and delivery of this
Declaration, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound
thereby.

         (a) GLOBAL SECURITIES. The Preferred Securities shall be issued in the
form of one or more permanent global securities in definitive, fully registered
form without distribution coupons with the appropriate global legends set forth
in Exhibit A-1 hereto (each, a "Global Preferred Security"), which shall be
deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Preferred Securities represented
thereby with the Property Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian
for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of
the Depositary, duly executed by the Trust and authenticated by the Property
Trustee as hereinafter provided. The number of Preferred Securities represented
by a Global Preferred Security may from time to time be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Property Trustee and the Depositary or
its nominee as hereinafter provided.

         (b) BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS. The Trust shall execute and the Property
Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 7.3, authenticate and deliver
initially one or more Global Preferred

                                       31

nominee of such Depositary and (b) shall be delivered by the Property Trustee to
such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions or held by the
Property Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.

         Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Participants") shall
have no rights under this Declaration with respect to any Global Preferred
Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Property Trustee, as
the custodian of the Depositary, or under such Global Preferred Security, and
the Depositary will be treated by the Trust, the Property Trustee and any agent
of the Trust or the Property Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global
Preferred Security for all purposes whatsoever during such period that the
Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the Global
Preferred Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
the Trust, the Property Trustee or any agent of the Trust or the Property
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary
and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any
Global Preferred Security.

         (c) CERTIFICATED SECURITIES. Except as otherwise provided in Section
7.10, owners of beneficial interests in any Global Preferred Security will not
be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Preferred Securities.

SECTION 7.4       REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND CONVERSION AGENT.

         The Trust shall maintain in the City of New York, (i) an office or
agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or
exchange ("Registrar"), (ii) an office or agency where Securities may be
presented for payment ("Paying Agent") and (iii) an office or agency where
Securities may be presented for conversion ("Conversion Agent"). The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The
Trust may appoint the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent and
may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and
one or more additional conversion agents in such other locations as it shall
determine. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent and the
term "Conversion Agent" includes any additional conversion agent. The Trust may
change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or Conversion Agent without
prior notice to any Holder. The Paying Agent will be permitted to resign as
Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Regular Trustees. The Trust
shall notify the Property Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a
party to this Declaration. If the Trust fails to appoint or maintain another
entity as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Property Trustee
shall act as such for the Preferred Securities. The Trust or any of its
Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, or Conversion Agent. The Trust
shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar, and Conversion Agent for the
Common Securities. The Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent shall be
entitled to the rights and protections extended to the Property Trustee when
acting in such capacity.

         The Trust initially appoints the Property Trustee, acting through its
Corporate Trust Office in New York, New York, as Registrar, Paying Agent, and
Conversion Agent for the Preferred Securities.

SECTION 7.5       PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

         The Trust shall require each Paying Agent other than the Property
Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Property Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal or distribution on the Securities, and will notify
the Property Trustee if there are insufficient funds. While any such
insufficiency continues, the Property Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Property Trustee. The Trust at any time may require
a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Property Trustee and to
account for any money disbursed by it. Upon payment over to the Property
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trust or an Affiliate of the Trust)
shall have no further liability for the money. If the Trust or the Sponsor or an
Affiliate of the Trust or the Sponsor acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent.

SECTION 7.6       [RESERVED]

SECTION 7.7       REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.

         If the holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken or if such Security is mutilated and is
surrendered to the Trust or in the case of the Preferred Securities to the
Property Trustee, the Trust shall issue and the Property Trustee shall
authenticate a replacement Security if the Property Trustee's and the Trust's
requirements, as the case may be, are met. If required by the Property Trustee
or the Trust, an indemnity bond must be posted in an amount sufficient in the
judgment of both to protect the Trustees, the Property Trustee, the Sponsor or
any authenticating agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a
Security is replaced. The Trust may charge for its expenses in replacing a
Security.

         In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the
Sponsor pursuant to Article III hereof, the Sponsor in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case
may be.

         Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Trust.

SECTION 7.8       OUTSTANDING PREFERRED SECURITIES.

         The Preferred Securities outstanding at any time are all the Preferred
Securities authenticated by the Property Trustee except for those canceled by
it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section
as not outstanding.

         If a Preferred Security is replaced, paid or purchased pursuant to
Section 7.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Property Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced, paid or purchased Preferred
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

         If Preferred Securities are considered paid in accordance with the
terms of this Declaration, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue.

                                       33
<Page>

         A Preferred Security does not cease to be outstanding because one of
the Trust, the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor holds the Security.

SECTION 7.9       PREFERRED SECURITIES IN TREASURY.

         In determining whether the Holders of the required amount of Securities
have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Preferred Securities owned
by the Trust, the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor, as the case may be,
shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Property Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a
Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

SECTION 7.10      TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

         (a) Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Trust may
prepare and, in the case of the Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee shall
authenticate, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially
in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Trust
considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the
Trust shall prepare and, in the case of the Preferred Securities, the Property
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary
Securities.

         (b) A Global Preferred Security deposited with the Depositary or with
the Property Trustee as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 7.3
shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of
certificated Preferred Securities only if such transfer complies with Section
9.2 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Sponsor that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Preferred Security or if at any time
such Depositary ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange
Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Sponsor within 90 days of
such notice, (ii) the Regular Trustees, with the consent of the Sponsor, elect
to discontinue use of the Depositary's, or its successor's, system of book entry
transfer with respect to the Preferred Securities or (iii) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing.

         (c) Any Global Preferred Security that is transferable to the
beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Preferred Securities
pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the
Property Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part,
without charge, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon
such transfer of each portion of such Global Preferred Security, an equal
aggregate liquidation amount of Securities of authorized denominations in the
form of certificated Securities. Any portion of a Global Preferred Security
transferred pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names as the
Depositary shall direct.

         (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.10(c), the registered holder
of a Global Preferred Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
person, including Participants and persons that may hold interests through
Participants, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this
Declaration or the Securities.

                                       34
<Page>

         (e) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in
Section 7.10(b), the Trust will promptly make available to the Property Trustee
a reasonable supply of certificated Preferred Securities in definitive, fully
registered form without distribution coupons.

SECTION 7.11      CANCELLATION.

         The Trust at any time may deliver Securities to the Property Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward
to the Property Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, redemption, conversion, exchange or payment. The Property Trustee
shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer,
redemption, conversion, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall
dispose of canceled Securities as the Trust directs provided that the Property
Trustee shall not be required to destroy such canceled securities. The Trust may
not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have
been delivered to the Property Trustee for cancellation or that any holder has
converted.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF TRUST

following:

                  (i) the expiration of the term of the Trust on February 15,
         2018;

                  (ii) the bankruptcy of the Holder of the Common Securities or
         the Sponsor;

                  (iii) the filing of a certificate of dissolution or its
         equivalent with respect to the Holder of the Common Securities or the
         Sponsor, after receipt by the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of
         at least a Majority in liquidation amount of the outstanding Securities
         voting together as a single class to dissolve the Trust and file a
         certificate of dissolution with respect to the Trust or the revocation
         of the charter of the Holder of the Common Securities or the Sponsor
         and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation without a
         reinstatement thereof;

                  (iv) the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event or
         Investment Company Event pursuant to which the Trust shall be dissolved
         in accordance with the terms of the Securities and, after satisfaction
         of liabilities of creditors (whether by payment or reasonable provision
         for payment), the Debentures held by the Property Trustee shall be
         distributed to the Holders of Securities in exchange for all of the
         Securities;

                  (v) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the

         redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have
         been paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the
         Securities; or

                                       35
<Page>

                  (vii) upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred
         Securities into Fleetwood Common Stock or other cash, securities or
         property, as the case may be.

         (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event referred
to in Section 8.1(a), and upon the completion of the winding up-of the Trust,
one of the Trustees shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware and the Trust shall terminate.

         (c) The provisions of Article X shall survive the termination of the
Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                              TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

SECTION 9.1       GENERAL.

         (a) Where Preferred Securities are presented to the Registrar with a
request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal number of
Preferred Securities represented by different certificates, the Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such
transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Trust shall issue and the Property Trustee shall authenticate Preferred
Securities at the Registrar's request.

         (b) Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in
the terms of the Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Security
not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void.

         Subject to this Article IX, the Sponsor and any Related Party may only
transfer Common Securities to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the Sponsor;
PROVIDED, that any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the
transferor obtain the written opinion of nationally recognized independent
counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer would not cause more than
an insubstantial risk that:

                  (i) the Trust would not be classified for United States
         federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust; and

                  (ii) the Trust would be an Investment Company required to
         register under the Investment Company Act or the transferee would
         become an Investment Company required to register under the Investment
         Company Act

         (c) The Regular Trustees shall provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities, which will be effected without charge
but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the Regular Trustees may require)
in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
relation to it. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities,
the Regular Trustees shall cause one or more new Securities to be issued in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees. Every Security surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, or for conversion or redemption, shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Registrar and Regular Trustees duly executed by the Holder or

                                       36
<Page>

such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, or for conversion or redemption, shall be
canceled by the Regular Trustees (in the case of the Common Securities) or by
the Property Trustee (in the case of Preferred Securities). A transferee of a
Security shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Security. By
acceptance of a Security, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by this Declaration.

         (d) The Property Trustee shall not be required (i) to issue, register
the transfer of, or exchange any Preferred Securities during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Preferred
Securities to be redeemed (unless all of the outstanding Securities are called
for Redemption) and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, or
(ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Preferred Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Preferred Security being redeemed in part.

SECTION 9.2       TRANSFER PROCEDURES AND RESTRICTIONS.

         (a) [reserved]

         (b) [reserved]

         (c) [reserved]

         (d) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF DEFINITIVE PREFERRED SECURITIES. When
Definitive Preferred Securities are presented to the Registrar or co-registrar
to register the transfer of such Definitive Preferred Securities, or to exchange
such Definitive Preferred Securities for an equal number of Definitive Preferred
Securities of another number, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction
are met; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Definitive Preferred Securities surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trust and the
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing.

         (e) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF A DEFINITIVE PREFERRED SECURITY FOR A
BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITY. A Definitive Preferred
Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred
Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon
receipt by the Property Trustee of a Definitive Preferred Security, duly
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Property Trustee, together with written instructions
directing the Property Trustee to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an
adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Preferred
Security to reflect an increase in the number of the Preferred Securities
represented by the Global Preferred Security, then the Property Trustee shall
cancel such Definitive Preferred Security and cause, or direct the Depositary to
cause, the aggregate number of Preferred Securities represented by the Global
Preferred Security to be increased accordingly. If no Global Preferred
Securities are then outstanding, the Trust shall issue and the Property Trustee
shall authenticate, upon written order of any Regular Trustee, an appropriate
number of Preferred Securities in global form.

         (f) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITIES. The transfer
and exchange of Global Preferred Securities or beneficial interests therein
shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Declaration
(including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the
procedures of the Depositary therefor.

         (g) TRANSFER OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITY
FOR A DEFINITIVE PREFERRED SECURITY.

                  (i) Any person having a beneficial interest in a Global
         Preferred Security that is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to
         an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in
         accordance with Section 7.10 of this Declaration may upon request, and
         if accompanied by the information specified below, exchange such
         beneficial interest for a Definitive Preferred Security representing
         the same number of Preferred Securities. Upon receipt by the Property
         Trustee from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person
         having a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Security of written
         instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the
         Depositary and a certification from the Person designated by the
         Depositary as being the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global
         Preferred Security to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse
         of the Preferred Security), all of which may be submitted by facsimile,
         then the Property Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction
         of the Property Trustee, will cause, in accordance with the standing
         instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the
         Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of the Global
         Preferred Security to be reduced on its books and records and,
         following such reduction, the Trust will execute and the Property
         Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the transferee a Definitive
         Preferred Security.

                  (ii) Definitive Preferred Securities issued in exchange for a
         beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Security pursuant to this
         Section 9.2(g) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
         denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its
         Participants or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the
         Property Trustee. The Property Trustee shall deliver such Preferred
         Securities to the persons in whose names such Preferred Securities are
         so registered in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary.

         (h) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITIES.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Declaration other than the
provisions set forth in Section 9.2(i), a Global Preferred Security may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary
or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

         (i) AUTHENTICATION OF DEFINITIVE PREFERRED SECURITIES. If at any time:

                  (i) the Depositary notifies the Trust that the Depositary is
         unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Preferred
         Securities and a successor Depositary for the Global Preferred
         Securities is not appointed by the Trust at the direction of the
         Sponsor within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or

                                       38
<Page>

                  (ii) the Trust, in its sole discretion, notifies the Property
         Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive
         Preferred Securities under this Declaration,

then the Trust will execute, and the Property Trustee, upon receipt of a written
order of the Trust signed by one Regular Trustee requesting the authentication
and delivery of Definitive Preferred Securities to the Persons designated by the
Trust, will authenticate and deliver Definitive Preferred Securities, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Global Preferred
Securities, in exchange for such Global Preferred Securities.

         (j) [reserved]

         (k) CANCELLATION OR ADJUSTMENT OF GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITY. At such
time as all beneficial interests in a Global Preferred Security have either been
exchanged for Definitive Preferred Securities to the extent permitted by the
Declaration or redeemed, repurchased or canceled in accordance with the terms of
this Declaration, such Global Preferred Security shall be returned to the
Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Property Trustee. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global
Preferred Security is exchanged for Definitive Preferred Securities, Preferred
Securities represented by such Global Preferred Security shall be reduced and an
adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Property Trustee (if it
is then the Securities Custodian for such Global Preferred Security) with
respect to such Global Preferred Security, by the Property Trustee or the
Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

         (l) OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF PREFERRED
SECURITIES.

                  (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
         Trust shall execute and the Property Trustee shall authenticate
         Definitive Preferred Securities and Global Preferred Securities at the
         Registrar's or co-registrar's request.

                  (ii) Registrations of transfers or exchanges will be effected
         without charge, but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the Trust
         or the Sponsor may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental
         charge that may be imposed in relation to it.

                  (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the
         transfer of or exchange of (a) any Definitive Preferred Security
         selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3,
         except the unredeemed portion of any Definitive Preferred Security
         being redeemed in part, or (b) any Preferred Security for a period
         beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer
         to repurchase or redeem Preferred Securities or 15 Business Days before
         a quarterly distribution date.

                  (iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of
         transfer of any Preferred Security, the Trust, the Property Trustee,
         the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat
         the person in whose name a Preferred Security is registered as the
         absolute owner of such Preferred Security for the purpose of receiving
         Distributions on such Preferred Security and for all other purposes
         whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Property Trustee, the Paying
         Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                                       39
<Page>

                  (v) All Preferred Securities issued upon any transfer or
         exchange pursuant to the terms of this Declaration shall evidence the
         same security and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
         Declaration as the Preferred Securities surrendered upon such transfer
         or exchange.

         (m) NO OBLIGATION OF THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

                  (i) The Property Trustee shall have no responsibility or
         obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Preferred Security, a
         Participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the
         accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any
         Participant thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the
         Preferred Securities or with respect to the delivery to any
         Participant, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the
         Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the
         payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Preferred
         Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders
         and all payments to be made to Holders under the Preferred Securities
         shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered
         Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a
         Global Preferred Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any
         Global Preferred Security shall be exercised only through the
         Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the
         Depositary. The Property Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected
         in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to
         its Participants and any beneficial owners.

                  (ii) The Property Trustee and Registrar shall have no
         obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
         with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Declaration or
         under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in
         any Preferred Security (including any transfers between or among
         Depositary Participants or beneficial owners in any Global Preferred
         Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other
         documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if
         and when expressly required by, the terms of this Declaration, and to
         examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with
         the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 9.3       DEEMED SECURITY HOLDERS.

         The Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall
be registered on the books and records of the Trust as the sole holder of such
Certificate and of the Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes
of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and,
accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Certificate or in
the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person,
whether or not the Trust, the Property Trustee or the Registrar shall have
actual or other notice thereof.

         Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this
         Declaration, so long as Definitive Preferred Security Certificates have
         not been issued, the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be
         protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy)
         delivered to the Trustees by the Depositary setting forth the Preferred
         Security Beneficial Owners' votes or assigning the right to vote on any

Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority
conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration or by law, except that

SECTION 10.3      FIDUCIARY DUTY.

         (a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has
duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Trust or to any other Covered Person, an Indemnified Person acting under this
Declaration shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other Covered Person for
its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of
this Declaration, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of
an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the
duties imposed on the Property Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are
agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of
such Indemnified Person.

         (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

                  (i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between
         an Indemnified Person and any Covered Person; or

                  (ii) whenever this Declaration or any other agreement
         contemplated herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person
         shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and
         reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of Securities,

the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action
or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each
party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or
situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary
or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting
practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Indemnified Person,
the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified
Person shall not constitute a breach of this Declaration or any other agreement
contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at
law or in equity or otherwise.

         (c) Whenever in this Declaration an Indemnified Person is permitted or
required to make a decision

                  (i) in its "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority,
         the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and
         factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no
         duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interests of or
         factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or

                  (ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard,
         the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall
         not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this
         Declaration or by applicable law.

SECTION 10.4      INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsor
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any
loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature
whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation,
operation or termination of the Trust or any act or omission performed or
omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a
manner such

                                       43
<Page>

Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority
conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration, except that no
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss,
damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence or
willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

         (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses
(including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to
time, be advanced by the Sponsor prior to the final disposition of such claim,
demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Sponsor of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be
determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as
authorized in Section 10.4(a). The indemnification shall survive the termination
of this Declaration.

SECTION 10.5      OUTSIDE BUSINESSES.

         Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Property
Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any
nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to
the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall
have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures
or the income or profits derived therefrom and the pursuit of any such venture,
even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful
or improper. No Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, or the
Property Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or
other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that,
if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person,
the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee shall have the right
to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to
recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any
Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage or be
interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any
Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as a depositary for trustee or agent for,
or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations
of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

                                   ACCOUNTING

SECTION 11.1      FISCAL YEAR.

         The fiscal year ("Fiscal Year") of the Trust shall be the calendar
year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

SECTION 11.2      CERTAIN ACCOUNTING MATTERS.

         (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Regular
Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept, full books of account, records and
supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail, each transaction
of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of
accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied. The Trust shall use the accrual method of accounting for
United States federal income tax purposes. The financial statements of the Trust
for each of its Fiscal Year

                                       44
<Page>

shall be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a
firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Regular
Trustees.

         (b) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be prepared and delivered to
each of the Holders of Securities, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal
Year of the Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance
sheet of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements
of income or loss for each Fiscal Year;

         (c) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered
to each of the Holders of Securities, any annual United States federal income
tax information statement, required by the Code, containing such information
with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code and
the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any right under the Code to deliver
any such statement at a later date, the Regular Trustees shall endeavor to
deliver all such statements within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
the Trust.

         (d) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and filed with
the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States federal income tax
return, on a Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal
income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by
the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with any state or local taxing
authority.

SECTION 11.3      BANKING.

         The Trust shall maintain one or more bank accounts in the name and for
the sole benefit of the Trust; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all payments of funds in
respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee shall be made directly to
the Property Trustee Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited
in the Property Trustee Account. The sole signatories for such accounts shall be
designated by the Regular Trustees; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Property Trustee
shall designate the signatories for the Property Trustee Account.

SECTION 11.4      WITHHOLDING.

         The Trust and the Regular Trustees shall comply with all withholding
requirements under United States federal, state and local law. The Trust shall
request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates
as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to each
Holder, and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by
the Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its
withholding obligations. The Regular Trustees shall file required forms with
applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from withholding is properly
established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder
to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the Trust is required to
withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to Distributions
or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a
distribution in the amount of the withholding to the Holder. In the event of any
claimed over withholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the
applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld
from actual Distributions made, the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by
the amount of such withholding (but not by the amount of any liability imposed
on the Trust as withholding agent).

SECTION 12.2      MEETINGS OF THE HOLDERS OF SECURITIES; ACTION BY
                  WRITTEN CONSENT.

         (a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called at
any time by the Regular Trustees (or as provided in the terms of the Securities)
to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities
are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of the
Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities
are listed or admitted for trading. The Regular Trustees shall call a meeting of
the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders of at least 10% in
liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by
delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more requests in a writing stating
that the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the
general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders
of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Certificates held
by the Holders of Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only
those Securities represented by the Certificates so specified shall be counted
for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set forth in the
second sentence of this paragraph has been met.

         (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the
Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of
Securities:

            (i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders of
         Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not more
         than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote, consent
         or approval of the Holders of Securities is permitted or required
         under this Declaration or the rules of any stock exchange on which the
         Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for trading, such vote,
         consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the Holders of
         Securities. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders
         of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing
         setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of
         Securities owning not less than the minimum aggregate liquidation
         amount of Securities that would be necessary to authorize or take such
         action at a meeting at which all Holders of Securities having a right
         to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the taking
         of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of
         Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The
         Regular Trustees may specify that any written ballot

                                       48
<Page>

         submitted to the Security Holders for the purpose of taking any action
         without a meeting shall be returned to the Trust within the time
         specified by the Regular Trustees;

            (ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for
         it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is entitled
         to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or
         participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be valid after the
         expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise
         provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure
         of the Holder of Securities executing it. Except as otherwise provided
         herein, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of

Trust, dated as of ___________, 2002 by and among Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.,
as sponsor (the "Sponsor"), The Bank of New York, as Property Trustee, the Bank
of New York (Delaware), as Delaware Trustee, and the Regular Trustees listed on
the signature page thereto (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"),

and provisions of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities are set out
below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set
forth in the Declaration or, if not defined in such Declaration, as defined in
the Prospectus referred to below):

1.       DESIGNATION AND NUMBER.

         (a)      "Preferred Securities." [_______] Preferred Securities of
the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of
the Trust of [__________________] Dollars ($[_________]) and a liquidation
amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $20 per Preferred Security,
are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only as "9.75%
Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (liquidation amount $20 per Preferred
Security)" (the "Preferred Securities"). The certificates evidencing the
Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A-1, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom
as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform to the
rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Preferred
Securities are listed or quoted, or as may be permitted by Section 7.3 of the
Declaration.

         (b)      "Common Securities." [___] Common Securities of the Trust
with an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust
of [__________________] Dollars ($[_______]) and a liquidation amount with
respect to the assets of the Trust of $20 per Common Security, are hereby

(the "Common Securities"). The certificates evidencing the Common Securities
shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, with such
changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by

the Declaration.

2.       DISTRIBUTIONS.

         (a)      Distributions payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of 9.75% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of
$20 per Security, such

                                       I-1
<Page>

rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the
Property Trustee. Distributions on Preferred Securities shall be paid in cash,
or at the sole option of the Debenture Issuer, prior to February 15, 2004, in
shares of Fleetwood Common Stock, PROVIDED that the Debenture Issuer may elect
to pay such Distributions by delivery of shares of Fleetwood Common Stock if and
only if the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

                  (i) The shares of Fleetwood Common Stock deliverable in
         payment of the Distribution shall have a fair market value as of the
         Distribution Payment Date of not less than the Distribution as
         determined by this paragraph 2 hereof. For purposes of this paragraph
         2, the fair market value of shares of Fleetwood Common Stock shall be
         determined by the Debenture Issuer and shall be equal to 90% of the
         average of the Closing Price for the five consecutive Trading Days
         immediately preceding the second Trading Day prior to the Distribution
         Payment Date;

                  (ii) Distributions shall be paid only in cash in the event
         any shares of Fleetwood Common Stock to be issued for the payment of
         Distributions on the Securities hereunder (A) require registration
         under any federal securities law before such shares may be freely
         transferable without being subject to any transfer restrictions under
         the Securities Act upon issuance and if such registration is not
         completed or does not become effective prior to the Distribution
         Payment Date, and/or (B) require registration with or approval of any
         governmental authority under any state law or other federal law before
         such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon issuance and if
         such registration is not completed or does not become effective or
         such approval is not obtained prior to the Distribution Payment Date;

                  (iii) The Fleetwood Common Stock is, or shall have been,
         approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or listing on the
         New York Stock Exchange, in either case, prior to the Distribution
         Payment Date; and

                  (iv) All shares of Fleetwood Common Stock which may be issued
         with respect to the payment of interest on the Securities will be
         issued out of the Debenture Issuer's authorized but unissued Fleetwood
         Common Stock and, will upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully
         paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights.

         If all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph are not
satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the Distribution required to be
paid or duly provided for by the Debenture Issuer pursuant to this paragraph 2
shall be paid by the Debenture Issuer only in cash. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear
interest thereon at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used

                                       I-2
<Page>

herein includes such distributions in cash or shares of Fleetwood Common Stock
and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated plus any Compounded
Interest (as defined in the Indenture) or Additional Interest (as defined in the
Indenture). A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made
in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Property Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution
period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and, for any
period shorter than a full calendar month, the actual number of days elapsed per
30-day month.

         (b)      Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will
accrue from [_____________], 2002 and will be payable quarterly in arrears on
February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date") commencing on February 15, 2002, when, as and if
available for payment, except as otherwise described below. So long as the
Debenture Issuer shall not be in default on the payment of interest with respect
to the Debentures, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture, on or
after February 15, 2004 to defer payments of interest by extending the interest
payment period on the Debentures for successive periods not exceeding 20
consecutive quarters (each an "Extension Period"). No Extension Period shall
extend beyond the maturity date of the Debentures or end on other than a
Distribution Payment Date. As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will
also be deferred. Despite such deferral, quarterly Distributions will continue
to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at
the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. In the
event that the Debenture Issuer exercises this right, then (a) the Debenture
Issuer shall not declare or pay dividends on, make distributions with respect
to, or redeem, purchase or acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect
to, any of its capital stock (other than (x) (i) purchases or acquisitions of
shares of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock (or capital stock equivalents) in
connection with the satisfaction by the Debenture Issuer of its obligations
under any officers, directors or employee benefit plans (or any options or other
instruments issued thereunder) or the satisfaction by the Debenture Issuer of
its obligations pursuant to any contract or security requiring the Debenture
Issuer to purchase shares of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock (or capital
stock equivalents), (ii) purchases of shares of the Debenture Issuer's capital
stock (or capital stock equivalents) from officers, directors or employees of
the Debenture Issuer or its subsidiaries pursuant to employment agreements or
upon termination of employment or retirement, (iii) as a result of a
reclassification, combination or subdivision of the Debenture Issuer's capital
stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Debenture
Issuer's capital stock for another class or series of the Debenture Issuer's
capital stock, (iv) dividends or distribution in shares of its capital stock of
the same class on which such dividend or distribution is being made and
conversions or exchanges of common stock of one class into common stock of
another class, (v) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Debenture Issuer's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or any security being converted or exchanged,
(vi) purchases or other acquisitions of common stock in connection with a
dividend reinvestment or other similar plan, or (vii) any dividend or
distribution of capital stock (or capital stock equivalents) in connection with
the implementation of a

                                       I-3
<Page>

stockholders' rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in
the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto,
or (y) guarantee payments made with respect to any of the foregoing), (b) the
Debenture Issuer shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium,
if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the
Debenture Issuer that rank PARI PASSU with or junior to the Debentures and (c)
the Debenture Issuer shall not make any guarantee payments with respect to the
foregoing (other than pursuant to the Guarantee or the Debenture Issuer's
guarantee of the Common Securities). Prior to the termination of any such
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such Extension Period;
provided, that such Extension Period together with all such further extensions
thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend beyond the maturity
date of the Debentures or end on other than a Distribution Payment Date. No
interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end
thereof, but the Debenture Issuer may prepay at any time all or any portion of
the interest accrued during an Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred
as aforesaid, the deferred accumulated Distributions and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be
payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust at the
close of business on the related record date for the Distribution Payment Date
upon which the Extension Period terminates. Upon the termination of any
Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due on the Debentures, the
Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements.

         (c)      Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust at the close of
business on the relevant record dates. Holders of Preferred Securities shall be
provided notice of the Debenture Issuer's election to pay a Distribution in
Fleetwood Common Stock instead of cash no later than the record date for such
Distribution. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions
of the Declaration, the relevant record date in respect of Preferred Securities
will be 15 days prior to the relevant payment dates (whether or not such date is
a Business Day). Distributions payable on Preferred Securities which are held in
book-entry form through the Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary") will be
made as described under the heading "Description of Preferred Securities -
Description of the Exchange Preferred Securities - Book-Entry Only Issuance; The
Depository Trust Company" in the Prospectus. Distributions payable on Preferred
Securities which are not in book-entry form may be made at the option of the
Trust by check mailed to the address of the holder entitled thereto or by wire
transfer to an account in the United States appropriately designated by the
holder entitled thereto prior to the record date for the corresponding
Distribution Payment Date; provided that such payment shall be made by wire
transfer if such instructions are given by a Holder of Preferred Securities
having an aggregate liquidation amount of $1,000,000 or more. Distributions
payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution
Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to make a
payment under the Debentures, will cease to be payable to the Person in whose
name such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such
defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date
determined in accordance with the Indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution Payment Date
falling within an

                                       I-4
<Page>

Extension Period unless the Debenture Issuer has elected to make a full or
partial payment of interest accrued on the Debentures on such Distribution
Payment Date. Such distributions will be paid through the Property Trustee, who
will hold amounts received in respect of the Debentures for the benefit of the
Holders. The relevant record dates for the Common Securities shall be the same
record dates as for the Preferred Securities. If any date on which Distributions
are payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar
year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in
each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

         (d)      In the event of the election of the Holder to convert its
Securities through the Conversion Agent into Common Stock, $1.00 par value per
share, of the Sponsor ("Fleetwood Common Stock"), Holders of Securities at the
close of business on a Distribution record date will be entitled to receive the
Distribution payable on such Securities on the corresponding Distribution
Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Securities following such
record date but prior to such Distribution Payment Date. Except as provided in
the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor will make,
or be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment for any accumulated
and unpaid Distributions whether or not in arrears. The Sponsor will make no
payment or allowance for distributions on the shares of Fleetwood Common Stock
issued upon such conversion, except to the extent that such shares of Fleetwood
Common Stock are held of record on the record date for any such distributions.

         (e)      In the event that there is any money or other property held by
or for the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such property shall be
distributed Pro Rata (as defined herein) among the Holders of the Securities.

3.       LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION UPON DISSOLUTION.

         In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Trust,
the Holders of the Securities on the date of the dissolution will be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution, after paying
or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Trust in
accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Business Trust Act, an amount equal to
the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $[___] per Security plus
accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount
being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless such dissolution occurs in
connection with a Special Event in which, in accordance with Section 4(c),
Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated
liquidation amount of such Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon
Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the
accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Securities, shall be distributed on a
Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities.

                                       I-5
<Page>

         If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid
only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full
the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the
Trust on the Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis, except that if a
Declaration Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred
Securities shall have a preference over the Common Securities with regard to
such Liquidation Distribution.

4.       REDEMPTION AND DISTRIBUTION.

         (a)      Upon the repayment or payment of the Debentures in whole or
in part, whether at maturity or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise,
the proceeds from such repayment or redemption shall be simultaneously
applied to the extent of such proceeds to redeem Securities having an
aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures so repaid or redeemed at the redemption price of the Debentures
together with accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon through the date of
the redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). Except in the case
of a redemption of Debentures prior to February 15, 2004 with respect to
which Holders will be given not less than 15 nor more than 30 days' notice of
redemption, and except in the case of redemption upon maturity of the
Debentures, Holders will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice of such redemption. The applicable redemption price per Preferred
Security shall be equal to the redemption price per $20 principal amount of
Debentures.

         (b)      If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so
redeemed, the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities will be redeemed
Pro Rata and the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be determined as
described in Paragraph 4(e) (ii) below.

         (c)      If, at any time, a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing the
Regular Trustees may, with the prior written consent of the Sponsor, unless the
Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, dissolve
the Trust and, after paying or making reasonable provisions to pay all claims
and obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Business
Trust Act, cause Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities
in liquidation of the Trust within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax
Event (the "90 Day Period"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such dissolution,
liquidation and distribution shall be conditioned on (i) the Regular Trustees'
receipt of an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel
experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely
on published revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that
the Holders of the Securities will not recognize any income, gain or loss for
United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such dissolution and
distribution of Debentures, and (ii) the Trust being unable to avoid such Tax
Event within such 90-day period by taking some ministerial action or pursuing
some other reasonable measure that, in the sole judgment of the Sponsor, will
have no adverse effect on the Trust, the Sponsor or the Holders of the
Securities and will involve no material cost ("Ministerial Action").

                                       I-6
<Page>

         If the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by a nationally
recognized independent tax counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Regular
Trustees) experienced in such matters that it cannot deliver a No Recognition
Opinion, the Debenture Issuer shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice, and within 90 days following the occurrence of such
Tax Event, to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part for cash, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, within 90 days following the
occurrence of a Tax Event, and, following such redemption, the Preferred
Securities will be redeemed by the Trust at the liquidation amount of $20 per
Preferred Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, if at the time there is available to the Debenture Issuer or the Trust the
opportunity to eliminate, within such 90-day period, the Tax Event by taking
some Ministerial Action, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer will pursue such
Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption. If the Sponsor declines to consent to
such a dissolution of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures or declines
to redeem to Debentures as described above, the Preferred Securities will remain
outstanding.

         "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an
opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such
matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that, as a result of (a) any
amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the
laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or
change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by
any legislative body, court or governmental or regulatory agency or authority
(including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial
decision or regulatory determination) or (c) any official interpretation or
pronouncement by any legislative body, court or governmental or regulatory
agency or authority that provides for a position with respect to such laws or
regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position, which
amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which
interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced, in each case, on or
after the date of the Prospectus, there is more than an insubstantial risk that
(i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to
United States federal income tax with respect to interest accrued or received on
the Debentures or (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date
thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or
other governmental charges.

         If, at any time, an Investment Company Event (as hereinafter defined)
shall occur and be continuing, the Regular Trustees may, with the prior written
consent of the Sponsor, dissolve the Trust and, after paying or making
reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Trust in
accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Business Trust Act, cause the Debentures
to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust
within 90 days following the occurrence of such Investment Company Event.

         "Investment Company Event" means the Regular Trustees shall have
obtained an opinion from independent counsel experienced in practice under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), to
the effect that,

                                      I-7
<Page>

as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a written
change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative
body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, which change is
enacted, promulgated, issued or becomes effective on or after the date of the
Prospectus (a "Change in Investment Company Act Law"), there is more than an
insubstantial risk that the Trust is or will be considered an investment company
which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

         After the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures: (i) the
Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, (ii) the
Depositary or its nominee (or any successor depositary or its nominee), as
record Holder of Preferred Securities represented by global certificates, will
receive a registered global certificate or certificates representing the
Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution and (iii) any certificates
representing Securities, except for certificates representing Preferred
Securities held by the Depositary or its nominee (or any successor depositary or
its nominee), will be deemed to represent Debentures having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such
Preferred Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate and accrued
and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Preferred
Securities until such certificates are presented to the Debenture Issuer or its
agent for transfer, exchange or reissuance.

         (d)      The Issuer shall not redeem fewer than all of the outstanding
Preferred Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been or
contemporaneously are paid (or such payment is duly provided for) on all
Preferred Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or
before the date of redemption.

         (e)      REDEMPTION OR DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES.

         (i)      Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of
Debentures in exchange for the Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution
Notice") will be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder of Securities to
be redeemed or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days, or in the
case of a redemption prior to February 15, 2004, not less than 15 nor more
than 30 days, before the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof which,
in the case of a redemption, will be the date fixed for redemption of the
Debentures. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or
exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph
4(e)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the
day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
Holders of Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed
to the Holders of Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in
the books and records of the Trust. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice with
respect to a redemption prior to February 15, 2004 shall state (A) the
Redemption Date, (B) whether the Additional Redemption Distribution (as
defined in paragraph 5(a)), if any, shall be paid in cash or by delivery of
Fleetwood Common Stock, (C) the procedures by which such Securities are to be
surrendered for conversion and receipt of the Additional Redemption
Distribution, if any, and (D) the Conversion Price then in effect. No defect
in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in

                                      I-8
<Page>

the mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the
validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other
Holder.

         (ii)     In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities
are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed Pro Rata it
being understood that, in respect of Preferred Securities registered in the name
of and held of record by the Depositary (or any successor depositary) or any
nominee, the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will be made in
accordance with the procedures of such agency or nominee.

         (iii)    If Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the
Debentures are redeemed as set out in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be
irrevocable), then (A) with respect to Preferred Securities held in book-entry
form, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, provided that
the Debenture Issuer has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash
in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the
Property Trustee will deposit irrevocably with the Depositary (or successor
depositary) funds sufficient to pay the amount payable on redemption with
respect to such Preferred Securities and will give the Depositary irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the amount payable on redemption to the
Holders of such Preferred Securities, and (B) with respect to Preferred
Securities issued in certificated form and Common Securities, provided that the
Debenture Issuer has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in
connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the
Property Trustee will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient
to pay the amount payable on redemption to the Holders of such Securities upon
surrender of their certificates. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have
been given and funds deposited as required, then, immediately prior to the close
of business on the date fixed for redemption, Distributions will cease to
accumulate and all rights of Holders of such Preferred Securities so called for
redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Preferred
Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such
Redemption Price. If any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities is
not a Business Day, then payment of the amount payable on such date will be made
on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other
payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in
the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such
date fixed for redemption. If payment of the redemption price in respect of any
Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by
the Trust or by the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the relevant Securities
Guarantee, Distributions on such Preferred Securities will continue to accrue at
the then applicable rate, from the original redemption date to the date of
payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed
for redemption for purposes of calculating the amount payable upon redemption
(other than for purposes of calculating any premium).

         (iv)     In the event of any redemption in part, the Trust shall not be
required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security held in
certificated form during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before any selection for redemption

                                      I-9
<Page>

of Preferred Securities and ending at the close of business on the earliest date
on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all
holders of Preferred Securities to be so redeemed or (ii) register the transfer
of or exchange any Securities held in certificated form so selected for
redemption, in whole or in part, except for the unredeemed portion of any
Securities held in certificated form being redeemed in part.

         (v)      Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Regular
Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in the case of Preferred Securities held
in book-entry form, the Depositary and, in the case of Securities held in
certificated form, the Holders of such certificates and (B) in respect of the
Common Securities, the Holder(s) thereof.

         (vi)     Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including,
without limitation, United States federal securities laws), the Sponsor or any
of its subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding
Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement.

5.       CONVERSION RIGHTS.

         The Holders of Securities shall have the right at any time prior to
the close of business on February 15, 2013 (or in the case of Preferred
Securities called for redemption, prior to the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Redemption Date), at their option, to cause the
Conversion Agent to convert Securities, on behalf of the converting Holders,
into shares of Fleetwood Common Stock in the manner described herein on and
subject to the following terms and conditions:

         (a)      The Securities will be convertible at the office of the
Conversion Agent into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock pursuant to the Holder's direction to the Conversion Agent to exchange
such Securities for a portion of the Debentures theretofore held by the Trust
on the basis of one Security per $20 principal amount of Debentures, and
immediately convert such amount of Debentures into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Fleetwood Common Stock at an initial rate of [_______]
shares of Fleetwood Common Stock per $20 principal amount of Debentures
(which is equivalent to a conversion price of $[_______] per share of
Fleetwood Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the terms
of the Debentures (as so adjusted, the "Conversion Price")); PROVIDED that in
the event a Holder of Securities converts such Securities to Fleetwood Common
Stock during the period following a notice of redemption and prior to the
close of business on the Business Day prior to a Redemption Date occurring
prior to February 15, 2004, then an amount equal to the distributions payable
on such Securities through February 15, 2004, less any distributions actually
paid with respect to such Securities in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 2 hereof prior to the applicable Conversion Date (the "Additional
Redemption Distribution"), will be payable, in cash or Fleetwood Common
Stock, at the election of the Debenture Issuer, PROVIDED FURTHER that the
Debenture Issuer may elect to pay such Additional Redemption Distribution by
delivery of shares of Fleetwood Common Stock if and only if the following
conditions shall have been satisfied:

                                      I-10
<Page>

                  (1) The shares of Fleetwood Common Stock deliverable in
         payment of the Additional Redemption Distribution shall have a fair
         market value as of the applicable Conversion Date of not less than the
         Additional Redemption Distribution as determined by this paragraph 2
         hereof. For purposes of this paragraph 2, the fair market value of
         shares of Fleetwood Common Stock shall be determined by the Debenture
         Issuer and shall be equal to 90% of the average of the Closing Price
         for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the second
         Trading Day prior to the applicable Conversion Date.

                  (2) The Additional Redemption Distribution shall be paid only
         in cash in the event any shares of Fleetwood Common Stock to be issued
         for the payment of the Additional Redemption Distribution hereunder (i)
         require registration under any federal securities law before such
         shares may be freely transferable without being subject to any transfer
         restrictions under the Securities Act upon issuance and if such
         registration is not completed or does not become effective prior to the
         applicable Conversion Date, and/or (ii) require registration with or
         approval of any governmental authority under any state law or other
         federal law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon
         issuance and if such registration is not completed or does not become
         effective or such approval is not obtained prior to the applicable
         Conversion Date;

                  (3) The Fleetwood Common Stock is, or shall have been,
         approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or listing on the
         New York Stock Exchange, in either case, prior to the applicable
         Conversion Date; and

                  (4) All shares of Fleetwood Common Stock which may be issued
         with respect to the payment of the Additional Redemption Distribution
         will be issued out of the Debenture Issuer's authorized but unissued
         Common Stock and, will upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully
         paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights.

         If all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph are not
satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the Additional Redemption
Distribution required to be paid or duly provided for by the Debenture Issuer
pursuant to this paragraph 5(a) shall be paid by the Debenture Issuer only in
cash.


         In the event of such conversion prior to February 15, 2004 during
the period following a notice of redemption and prior to the Redemption Date,
a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Fleetwood
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities shall be issued and
delivered and the Additional Redemption Distribution, if any, due on such
Securities, along with any cash in respect of any fractional shares of
Fleetwood Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion or in the event
that the Debenture Issuer elects to pay Additional Redemption Distribution,
if any, in Fleetwood Common Stock instead of cash, shall be delivered for
payment to the

                                      I-11
<Page>

Holder as promptly on or after the applicable Conversion Date as practicable in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 5.

         (b)      In order to convert Securities into Fleetwood Common Stock the
Holder shall submit to the Conversion Agent at the office referred to above an
irrevocable request to convert Securities on behalf of such Holder (the
"Conversion Request"), together, if the Securities are in certificated form,
with such certificates. The Conversion Request shall (i) set forth the number of
Securities to be converted and the name or names, if other than the Holder, in
which the shares of Fleetwood Common Stock should be issued and (ii) direct the
Conversion Agent (a) to exchange such Securities for a portion of the Debentures
held by the Trust (at the rate of exchange specified in the preceding paragraph)
and (b) to immediately convert such Debentures on behalf of such Holder, into
Fleetwood Common Stock (at the conversion rate specified in the preceding
paragraph). The Conversion Agent shall notify the Trust of the Holder's election
to exchange Securities for a portion of the Debentures held by the Trust and the
Trust shall, upon receipt of such notice, deliver to the Conversion Agent the
appropriate principal amount of Debentures for exchange in accordance with this
Section. The Conversion Agent shall thereupon notify the Sponsor of the Holder's
election to convert such Debentures into shares of Fleetwood Common Stock.
Holders of Securities at the close of business on a Distribution record date
will be entitled to receive the Distribution payable on such securities on the
corresponding Distribution Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such
Securities following such record date but prior to such Distribution Payment
Date. Except as provided above, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor will make, or
be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment upon any conversion on
account of any accumulated and unpaid Distributions whether or not in arrears
accrued on the Securities surrendered for conversion, or on account of any
accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of Fleetwood Common Stock issued
upon such conversion. Securities shall be deemed to have been converted
immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which a Notice of
Conversion relating to such Securities is received by the Trust in accordance
with the foregoing provision (the "Conversion Date"). The Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Fleetwood Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Debentures shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such Fleetwood Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after
the Conversion Date, the Sponsor shall issue and deliver at the office of the
Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of
Fleetwood Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, together with the cash
payment, if any, in lieu of any fraction of any share to the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the same, unless otherwise directed by the Holder in the
notice of conversion and the Conversion Agent shall distribute such certificate
or certificates to such Person or Persons.

         (c)      Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof appoints
The Bank of New York, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee as
conversion agent (the "Conversion Agent") for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of Securities in accordance with this Section. In effecting the
conversion and transactions described in this Section, the Conversion Agent
shall be acting as agent of the Holders of Securities directing it to effect
such conversion transactions. The Conversion Agent is hereby

                                      I-12
<Page>

authorized (i) to exchange Securities from time to time for Debentures held by
the Trust in connection with the conversion of such Securities in accordance
with this Section and (ii) to convert all or a portion of the Debentures into
Fleetwood Common Stock and thereupon to deliver such shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section and to deliver to the
Trust a new Debenture or Debentures for any resulting unconverted principal
amount provided, however, that the Conversion Agent shall not reflect any
conversion of Securities if, after giving effect to such conversion, the
aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities outstanding shall be less than
3% of the aggregate liquidation amount of Securities.

         (d)      No fractional shares of Fleetwood Common Stock will be issued
as a result of conversion, but in lieu thereof, such fractional interest will be
paid in cash by the Sponsor to the Trust in an amount equal to the Current
Market Price of the fractional share of the Fleetwood Common Stock, which in
turn will make such payment to the Holder or Holders of Securities so converted.

         (e)      The Sponsor shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized and unissued Fleetwood Common Stock, solely for issuance upon
the conversion of the Debentures, such number of shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the
Debentures then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor shall be
entitled to deliver upon conversion of Debentures, shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock reacquired and held in the treasury of the Sponsor (in lieu of the
issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Fleetwood Common Stock), so long
as any such treasury shares are free and clear of all liens, charges, security
interests or encumbrances. Any shares of Fleetwood Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Debentures shall be duly authorized, validly issued and fully
paid and nonassessable. The Trust shall deliver the shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock received upon conversion of the Debentures to the converting Holder free
and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances, except for
United States withholding taxes. Each of the Sponsor and the Trust shall prepare
and shall use its best efforts to obtain and keep in force such governmental or
regulatory permits or other authorizations as may be required by law, and shall
comply with all applicable requirements as to registration or qualification of
the Fleetwood Common Stock (and all requirements to list the Fleetwood Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Debentures that are at the time applicable),
in order to enable the Sponsor to lawfully issue Fleetwood Common Stock to the
Trust upon conversion of the Debentures and the Trust to lawfully deliver the
Fleetwood Common Stock to each Holder upon conversion of the Securities.

         (f)      The Sponsor will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Fleetwood Common Stock on
conversion of Debentures and the delivery of the shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock by the Trust upon conversion of the Securities. Fleetwood shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Fleetwood Common Stock
in a name other than that in which the Securities so converted were registered,
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person

                                      I-13
<Page>

requesting such issue has paid to the Trust the amount of any such tax, or has
established to the satisfaction of the Trust that such tax has been paid.

         (g)      Nothing in the preceding Paragraph (f) shall limit the
requirement of the Trust to withhold taxes pursuant to the terms of the
Securities or set forth in this Annex I to the Declaration or to the Declaration
itself or otherwise require the Property Trustee or the Trust to pay any amounts
on account of such withholdings.

6.       VOTING RIGHTS - PREFERRED SECURITIES.

         (a)      Except as provided under paragraph 6(b), in the Business Trust
Act, in the Trust Indenture Act, and as otherwise required by law, the Holders
of the Preferred Securities will have no voting rights. If at any time the
Sponsor elects to defer payments of interest on the Debentures as set forth in
this Annex I, the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no right to
appoint a special representative or trustee.

         (b)      Subject to the requirements set forth in this paragraph, the
Holders of a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, voting
separately as a class, may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or direct the
exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the
Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as holder of
the Debentures, to (i) exercise the remedies available under the Indenture with
respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default and its consequences that
is waivable under Section 513 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be
due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of
the Indenture or the Debentures requiring the consent of the holders of the
Debentures, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if an event of default has occurred and is
continuing under the Indenture, the holders of 25% of the aggregate liquidation
amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding may direct the Property
Trustee to declare the principal and interest of the Debentures immediately due
and payable; and provided, further, that where a consent or action under the
Indenture would require the consent of (a) Holders of Debentures representing a
specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the
Debentures (a "Super-Majority") or (b) each holder of Debentures affected
thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the
prior consent of, in the case of clause (a) above, Holders of Preferred
Securities representing at least such specified percentage of the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities or, in the case of clause (b)
above, each Holder of Preferred Securities affected thereby.

                  The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred
Securities of any notice of default received from the Debt Trustee with respect
to the Debentures. Such notice shall state that such event of default under the
Indenture also constitutes an event of default under the Declaration. Except
with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting a proceeding
for a remedy, the Property Trustee shall not take any of the actions described
in clause (i) (ii), (iii) or (iv) above unless the Property Trustee has obtained
an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters to
the effect that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as

                                      I-14
<Page>

other than a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes and each Holder
will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial interest in the Debentures.
The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. If the Property
Trustee fails to enforce its rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the
Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has
elapsed from such Holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce
such rights, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Debenture Issuer,
to enforce the rights of the Property Trustee, as holder of the Debentures,
under the Indenture, without first instituting any legal proceeding against the
Property Trustee or any other Person.

                  Any approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities
may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened
for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust
or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any
meeting at which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any
matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to
be mailed to each Holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each such notice
will include a statement setting forth the following information: (i) the date
of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken; (ii) a
description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which
such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent
is sought; and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

                  No vote or consent of the Holders of the Preferred Securities
will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Preferred Securities or to
distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of
the Securities.

                  Notwithstanding that Holders of Preferred Securities are
entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any
of the Preferred Securities that are owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of
the Sponsor shall not be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of
such vote or consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding.

                  Holders of Preferred Securities will have no rights to
increase or decrease the number of the Regular Trustees or to appoint or remove
the Regular Trustees, who may be appointed, removed or replaced solely by the
Sponsor as the indirect or direct holder of all of the Common Securities.

7.       VOTING RIGHTS - COMMON SECURITIES.

         (a)      Except as provided under paragraphs 7(b), 7(c) and 8 below, in
the Business Trust Act and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the
Holders of the Common Securities will have no voting rights.

         (b)      The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in
accordance with Article V of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or
replace any Trustee and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees.

         (c)      Subject to Section 2.6 of the Declaration and only after the
Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities has been cured,
waived, or otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to
last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount
of the Common Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property
Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time, method, place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy waivable to the Debenture Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect
to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default and its consequences that is
waivable under Section 606 of the Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be
due and payable, provided, that where a consent or action under the Indenture
would require the consent or act of the Holders of greater than a majority in
principal amount of Debentures affected thereby (a "Super Majority"), the
Property Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the direction
of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. Pursuant to this paragraph 7(c),
the Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. Other than with
respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any remedy
available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above,
the Property Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the directions
of the Holders of the Common Securities under this paragraph unless the Property
Trustee has been provided with an opinion of independent tax counsel to the
effect that, as a result of such action the Trust will not fail to be classified
as a grantor trust or a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes and each Holder of Common Securities will be treated as owning
undivided beneficial interests in the Debentures. If the Property Trustee fails
to enforce its rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture, any
Holder of Common Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such
Holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights,
institute a legal proceeding directly against the Debenture Issuer, to enforce
the Property Trustee's rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture,
without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or
any other Person.

                  Any approval or direction of Holders of Common Securities may
be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Common Securities convened for such
purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust or
pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any
meeting at which Holders of Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of any
matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to
be mailed to each Holder of record of Common Securities. Each such notice will
include a statement setting forth the following information: (i) the date of
such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken; (ii) a description
of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders
are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought; and
(iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

                  No vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities
will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to
distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of
the Securities.

8.       AMENDMENTS TO DECLARATION AND INDENTURE.

         (a)      In addition to any requirements under Section 12.1 of the
Declaration, if any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the
Regular Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would
adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities,
whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the
dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than as described in
Section 8.1 of the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities
voting together as a single class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
proposal (but not on any other amendment or proposal) and such amendment or
proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at
least 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of the Securities affected thereby,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i)
above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or only the Common
Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such
amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such class of
Securities.

         (b)      In the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder
of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property
Trustee shall request the direction of the Holders of the Securities with
respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with
respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority
in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single class;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the
consent of the holders of greater than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures, the Property Trustee may only give such consent at the
direction of the Holders of at least the same proportion in aggregate stated
liquidation amount of the Securities; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Property
Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the directions of the
Holders of the Securities under this paragraph 8(b) unless the Property Trustee
has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for the purposes of
United States federal income tax the Trust will not be classified as other than
a grantor trust or partnership on account of such action. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no amendment or modification may be made to the Declaration if such
amendment or modification would (i) cause the Trust to be classified for United
States federal income tax purposes as other than a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or
otherwise adversely affect the powers of the Property Trustee in contravention
of the Trust Indenture Act or cause the Trust to be deemed an "investment
company" which is required to be registered under the 1940 Act.

distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder
of Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities

all Securities outstanding unless, on any distribution date or redemption date

which case no payment of any distribution on, or amount payable upon redemption
of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption,
liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless

outstanding Preferred Securities for all distribution periods terminating on or
prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the amount payable upon redemption
of the Preferred Securities, the full amount of such amount in respect of all
outstanding Preferred Securities shall have been made or provided for, and all
funds available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in
full in cash of all Distributions on, or the amount payable upon redemption of
Preferred Securities then due and payable.

10.      RANKING.

         The Preferred Securities rank PARI PASSU and payment thereon shall be
made Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing under the Indenture in respect of the Debentures held
by the Property Trustee, the rights of Holders of the Common Securities to
payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption
and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities.

11.      ACCEPTANCE OF SECURITIES GUARANTEE AND INDENTURE.

         Each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities, by the
acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of the Preferred Securities

Dated:   [_____________], 2002

                                      The Bank of New York,
                                      not in its individual capacity
                                      but solely as Property Trustee


                                      By:
                                          -------------------------------------

<Page>

                           [FORM OF REVERSE SECURITY]

         Distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a
rate per annum of 9.75% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount
of $20 per Preferred Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable
on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions on
Preferred Securities shall be paid in cash, or at the sole option of the
Debenture Issuer, prior to February 15, 2004, in shares of Fleetwood Common
Stock, as provided in the Declaration. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest
thereon compounded quarterly at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes such
distributions of cash or shares of Fleetwood Common Stock (as defined below)
and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is
payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the
Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution period on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period of less
than a full calendar month, the actual number of days elapsed in such month.

         Except as otherwise described below and in the Declaration,
distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from the date of original issuance and will be payable quarterly in arrears,
on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on
February 15, 2002, to Holders of record on the date 15 days prior to such
payment dates (whether or not such day is a Business Day), which payment
dates shall correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures.
Holders of Preferred Securities shall be provided notice of the Debenture
Issuer's election to pay a Distribution in Fleetwood Common Stock instead of
cash no later than the record date for such Distributions. The Debenture
Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by
extending the interest payment period from time to time on or following
February 15, 2004 on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive
quarters (each an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence of such deferral,
Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral, quarterly
Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly during
any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such Extension Period;
PROVIDED THAT such Extension Period together with all such previous and
further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters. Payments
of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the
Extension Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the
payment of all amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new
Extension Period, subject to the above requirements.

         The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

         The Preferred Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common
Stock of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. ("Fleetwood Common Stock"), through (i) the
exchange of Preferred Securities

                                      A1-4

for a portion of the Debentures and (ii) the immediate conversion of such
Debentures into Fleetwood Common Stock, in the manner and according to the terms
set forth in the Declaration.

                                      Fleetwood Capital Trust II



                                      By:
                                         ------------------------
                                      Name:      Boyd R. Plowman
                                      Title:     Regular Trustee

                                      A2-4
<Page>

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]




         Distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of 9.75% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of
$20 per Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the
Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more
than one quarter will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Coupon
Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as
used herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest payable
unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that
payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and
to the extent the Property Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly
Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and
for any period of less than a full month, the actual number of days elapsed in
such month.

         Except as otherwise described below and in the Declaration,
distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the
date of original issuance and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on February
15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on February 15,
2002, to Holders of record on the date 15 days prior to such payment dates
(whether or not such day is a Business Day), which payment dates shall
correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures. The Debenture Issuer
has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by extending the
interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not
exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (each an "Extension Period") and, as a
consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such
deferral, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded
quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such Extension Period;
PROVIDED THAT such Extension Period together with all such previous and further
extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters. Payments of accrued
Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records
of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period.
Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then
due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the
above requirements.

         The Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

         The Common Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock
of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. ("Fleetwood Common Stock") through (i) the
exchange of Common Securities for a portion of the Debentures and (ii) the
immediate conversion of such Debentures into Fleetwood Common Stock, in the
manner and according to the terms set forth in the Declaration.
