absolutely and unconditionally, as primary obligor and not as surety only, the prompt and complete
payment of the Liabilities.

(b) All payments to be made under this Guaranty (except pursuant to paragraph (c) below) shall

whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing which, in the absence of this provision, would
release, affect or impair the obligations, covenants, agreements or duties of any Guarantor
hereunder or constitute a defense hereto, including without limitation any act or omission by any
Lender or any other person which increases the scope of any Guarantor’s risk; and in each case
described in this paragraph whether or not any Guarantor shall have notice or knowledge of any of
the foregoing, each of which is specifically waived by
each Guarantor. Each Guarantor warrants to the Lenders that it has adequate means to obtain from
the Borrowers on a continuing basis information concerning the financial condition and other
matters with respect to the Borrowers and that it is not relying on any Lender to provide such
information either now or in the future.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

- 3 -

 

4. Waivers, Etc. Each Guarantor unconditionally waives: (a) notice of any of the
matters referred to in Paragraph 3 above; (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of
law or otherwise to preserve any rights of any Lender, including, without limitation, notice to the
Guarantors of default, presentment to and demand of payment or performance from any Borrower and
protest for non-payment or dishonor; (c) any right to the exercise by any Lender of any right,
remedy, power or privilege in connection with any of the Agreements; (d) any requirement of
diligence or marshaling on the part of any Lender; (e) any requirement that any Lender, in the
event of any default by any Borrower, first make demand upon or seek to enforce remedies against,
such Borrower or any other Cumulative Guarantor before demanding payment under or seeking to
enforce this Guaranty; (f) any right to notice of the disposition of any security which any Lender
may hold from any Borrower or otherwise and any right to object to the commercial reasonableness of
the disposition of any such security; and (g) all errors and omissions in connection with any
Lender’s administration of any of the Liabilities, any of the Agreements or any other Cumulative
Guarantor, or any other act or omission of any Lender which changes the scope of such Guarantor’s
risk. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be complete and binding forthwith upon the
execution of this Guaranty by it and subject to no condition whatsoever, precedent or otherwise,
and notice of acceptance hereof or action in reliance hereon shall not be required.

5. Nature of Guaranty; Payments. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional,
irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection, and is wholly
independent of and in addition to other rights and remedies of any Lender with respect to any
Borrower, any collateral, any Cumulative Guarantor or otherwise, and it is not contingent upon the
pursuit by any Lender of any such rights and remedies, such pursuit being hereby waived by each
Guarantor. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall continue
(irrespective of any statute of limitations otherwise applicable) and cover and include all the
Liabilities of the Borrowers accruing or in the process of accruing to the Lenders before the
Lenders deliver to the Guarantors a release of this Guaranty, which is in writing, refers
specifically to this Guaranty, and is signed by a President, a Senior Vice President, or a Vice
President of each Lender. Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder except the full and irrevocable payment and performance of all of the Liabilities and the
expiration or termination of all the Agreements. All payments to be made by the Guarantors
hereunder shall be made without set-offs or counterclaim, and each Guarantor hereby waives the
assertion of any such set-offs or counterclaims in any proceeding to enforce its obligations
hereunder. All payments to be made by each Guarantor hereunder shall also be made without deduction
or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes or other similar charges of
whatsoever nature, provided that if any Guarantor is nevertheless required by law to make any
deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Lenders such additional amounts as may be
necessary to ensure that the Lenders shall receive a net sum equal to the sum which it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Each Guarantor agrees that, if at any time
all or any part of any payment previously applied by any Lender to any of the Liabilities must be
returned by such Lender for any reason, whether by court order, administrative order, or settlement
and whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, each Guarantor
remains liable for the full
amount returned as if such amount had never been received by such Lender, notwithstanding any
termination of this Guaranty or any cancellation of any of the Agreements and the Liabilities and
all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated in such case.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

- 4 -

 

6. Evidence of Liabilities. Each Lender’s books and records showing the Liabilities
shall be admissible in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon each Guarantor for the
purpose of establishing the Liabilities due from the Borrowers and shall constitute prima facie
proof, absent manifest error, of the Liabilities of the Borrowers to such Lender, as well as the
obligations of each Guarantor to such Lender.

7. Subordination, Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that all
present and future indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to such Guarantor
shall be fully subordinate and junior in right and priority of payment to any indebtedness of such
Borrower to the Lenders, and no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation, contribution
(including but without limitation the contribution and subrogation rights granted below),
reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever nor any right of recourse to security for the debts and
obligations of such Borrower unless and until all Liabilities shall have been paid in full, such
payment is not subject to any possibility of revocation or rescission and all Agreements have
expired or been terminated. Subject to the preceding sentence, if any Guarantor makes a payment in
respect of the Liabilities it shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the relevant
Borrower with respect to such payment and shall have the rights of contribution set forth below
against all other Cumulative Guarantors and each Guarantor agrees that all other Cumulative
Guarantors shall have the rights of contribution against it set forth below. If any Guarantor makes
a payment in respect of the Liabilities that is smaller in proportion to its Payment Share (as
hereinafter defined) than such payments made by the other Cumulative Guarantors are in proportion
to the amounts of their respective Payment Shares, such Guarantor shall, when permitted by the
first sentence of this Section 7, pay to the other Guarantors an amount such that the net payments
made by the Cumulative Guarantors in respect of the Liabilities shall be shared among the
Cumulative Guarantors pro rata in proportion to their respective Payment Shares. If any Guarantor
receives any payment by way of subrogation that is greater in proportion to the amount of its
Payment Share than the payments received by the other Cumulative Guarantors are in proportion to
the amounts of their respective Payment Shares, such Guarantor shall, when permitted by the first
sentence of this Section 7, pay to the other Cumulative Guarantors an amount such that the
subrogation payments received by the Guarantors shall be shared among the Cumulative Guarantors pro
rata in proportion to their respective Payment Shares.

For purposes of this Guaranty, the “Payment Share” of any Cumulative Guarantor shall be the
sum of (a) the aggregate proceeds of the Liabilities received by such Guarantor (and, if received
subject to a repayment obligation, remaining unpaid on the Determination Date, as hereinafter
defined), plus (b) the product of (i) the aggregate Liabilities remaining unpaid on the date such
Liabilities become due and payable in full, whether by stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise
(the “Determination Date”) reduced by the amount of such Liabilities attributed to all of the
Cumulative Guarantors pursuant to clause (a) above, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which
is such Guarantor’s net worth on the effective date of this Guaranty (determined as of the end of
the immediately preceding fiscal reporting period of the Guarantor), and the denominator of which
is the aggregate net worth of all of the Cumulative Guarantors, determined for each Cumulative
Guarantor on the respective effective date of the guaranty signed by such Cumulative Guarantor.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

- 5 -

 

8. Assignment by Lenders. Each Lender shall have the right to assign and transfer
this Guaranty to any assignee of any portion of the Liabilities. Each Lender’s successors and
assigns hereunder shall have the right to rely upon and enforce this Guaranty.

9. Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder and all
other Cumulative Guarantors shall be joint and several and each Guarantor shall be liable for all
of the Liabilities to the extent provided herein regardless of any other Cumulative Guarantors, and
each Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion to pursue its remedies against any
Guarantor without the need to pursue its remedies against any other Cumulative Guarantor, whether
now or hereafter in existence, or against anyone or more Cumulative Guarantors separately or
against any two or more jointly, or against some separately and some jointly.

10. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to
the Lenders that:

(a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty are within its
corporate, company, or partnership powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
company, or partnership action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any
governmental body, agency or official, and do not contravene or constitute a default under, any
provision of applicable law or regulation or of the articles of incorporation, articles of
organization, certificate of limited partnership or other charter documents or bylaws, operating
agreement or partnership agreement of such Guarantor, or of any agreement, judgment, injunction,
order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Guarantor, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance on any asset of such
Guarantor;

(b) this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each Guarantor,
enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms;

(c) as of the date hereof, each of the following is true and correct for each Guarantor,
assuming value is given to the rights of contribution and subrogation as described in Section 7
hereof: (i) the fair saleable value and the fair valuation of such Guarantor’s property is greater
than the total amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and greater than the
amount that would be required to pay its probable aggregate liability on its existing debts as they
become absolute and matured, (ii) each Guarantor’s capital is not unreasonably small in relation to
its current and/or contemplated business or other undertaken transactions, and (iii) each Guarantor
does not intend to incur, or believe that it will incur, debt beyond its ability to pay such debts
as they become due; and

(d) the Canadian Borrower, the Company, and the other Guarantors are engaged as an integrated
group in the business of providing related services; that the integrated operation requires
financing on such a basis that credit supplied to the Borrowers can be made available from time to
time to various subsidiaries of the Borrowers, as required for the continued successful operation
of the integrated group as a whole; and that each Guarantor has requested the Lenders to continue
to lend and to make credit available to the Borrowers for the purpose of financing the integrated
operations of the Borrowers and their
subsidiaries, including each Guarantor other than the Company, with each Guarantor expecting to
derive benefit, direct or indirectly, from the loans and other credit extended by the Lenders to
the Borrowers, both in such Guarantor’s separate capacity and as a member of the integrated group,
inasmuch as the successful operation and condition of each Guarantor is dependent upon the
continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole. Each of the
Guarantors hereby determines and agrees that the execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty are necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of
such Guarantor and in · furtherance of the corporate purposes of such Guarantor.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

- 6 -

 

11. Binding on Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be the valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of the Guarantors and their successors and assigns.

12. Indemnity. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with each Lender that, should the Liabilities
not be recoverable from any Guarantor as guarantor under this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever
(including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any of the Liabilities or the
Agreements being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law)
then, notwithstanding any knowledge thereof by any Lender at any time, each Guarantor as original
and independent obligor, upon demand by the Lenders, will make payment to the Lenders of the
Liabilities by way of a full indemnity.

13. Cumulative Rights and Remedies, Etc. The obligations of each Guarantor under this
Guaranty are continuing obligations and a new cause of action shall arise in respect of each
default hereunder. No course of dealing on the part of any Lender, nor any delay or failure on the
part of any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver
of such right, power, or privilege or otherwise prejudice the Lenders’ rights and remedies
hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No right or remedy conferred upon or
reserved to any Lender under this Guaranty is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law. Every right and
remedy given by this Guaranty or by applicable law to the Lenders may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by any Lender.

14. Severability. If anyone or more provisions of this Guaranty should be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected, impaired, prejudiced or disturbed
thereby, and any provision hereunder found partially unenforceable shall be interpreted to be
enforceable to the fullest extent possible. If at any time all or any portion of the obligation of
any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or avoidable under Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy
Code or under any fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws or similar applicable law of any
jurisdiction, then notwithstanding any other provisions of this Guaranty to the contrary such
obligation or portion thereof of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the
greatest of (i) the value of any quantified economic benefits accruing to such Guarantor as a
result of this Guaranty, (ii) an amount equal to 95% of the excess on the date the relevant
Liabilities were incurred of the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Guarantor over
the amount of all liabilities of such Guarantor,
contingent or otherwise, and (iii) the maximum amount of which this Guaranty IS determined to be
enforceable.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

- 7 -

 

15. Merger; Amendments. This Guaranty is intended as a final expression of the subject
matter hereof and is also intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms hereof. Each
Guarantor’s liability hereunder is independent of and in addition to its liability under any other
guaranty previously of subsequently executed. No course of dealing, course of performance or trade
usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms
hereof, nor are there any conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty. None of the terms
and provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, altered, modified or amended in any way except by an
instrument in writing executed by duly authorized officers of each Lender and the Guarantors.

16. Consent to Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the place where any Liability originates
or arises, or is to be repaid, any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Guaranty, any of the Agreements, or any borrowing made in connection with any of the Agreements,
may be instituted in any court of the United States of America or the State of Michigan, sitting in
the City of Detroit, State of Michigan, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection
which it may have or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an
inconvenient forum; and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits his person and property to the
jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each Guarantor hereby
consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in
this Section 16 by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
or personally delivering a copy thereof to such Guarantor, at the address set forth under its
signature below, or at such other address as such Guarantor may hereafter specify to the Lenders in
writing. Nothing in this Section 16 shall affect the right of any Lender to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Lenders to bring proceedings against any
Guarantor or any of its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction in which it is subject to
service of process. To the extent that any Guarantor now or hereafter may be entitled, in any
jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Guaranty or the
transactions contemplated hereby, to claim itself or its revenues, assets or properties any
immunity (including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, jurisdiction, suit,
judgment, counterclaim, enforcement of or execution on a judgment, attachment prior to the
judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or other legal process), and to the extent
that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed any such immunity (whether or not claimed),
such Guarantor hereby irrevocably undertakes not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives any such
immunity to the fullest extent permitted by law. Each Guarantor irrevocably and generally consents
in respect of any proceedings to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection
with those proceedings including, without limitation, the making, enforcement or execution against
any assets whatsoever of any order or judgment which may be made or given in those proceedings.

17. Governing Law; Headings. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to the choice of law
principles of such state. The headings of the various paragraphs hereof are for the convenience of
reference only and shall in no way modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.

The Company and each endorser or guarantor hereof waives demand, presentment, protest,

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, and each Lender

which is a party to the Credit Agreement

(as defined below)

611 Woodward Avenue

Detroit, Michigan 48226

	 	 	 
	Re:

	 	Credit Agreement dated as of December 20, 2004, by and
	 

	 	among Universal Forest Products, Inc., the signatory lenders
	 

	 	thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent (the
	 

	 	“Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Universal Forest Products, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the
“Company”), and the entities identified in Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the
“Guarantors”) in connection with the Agreement, the Notes and the Guaranties (collectively referred
to as the “Loan Documents”) and the transactions completed thereby. This opinion is being delivered
to you pursuant to paragraph 2.7(d) of the Agreement. Except as otherwise defined in this opinion,
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

We have examined such records, documents, certificates and other instruments and have made
such investigation of fact and law as we deem necessary to render this opinion. As to various
questions of tact relevant to this opinion, we have relied upon statements and certificates of
officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and of public officials.

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. For
purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 3 below, we have further assumed that the Loan
Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the
Company and the Guarantors.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

1. Each of the Company and the Guarantors is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of Michigan, and has all requisite corporate, limited
liability company or limited partnership (as applicable, “Entity”) power and authority to own or
lease its property and to carry on its business as now conducted and to engage in the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.

2. Each of the Company and the Guarantors has full Entity power and authority to execute and
deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to engage in the transactions contemplated
thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and the Guarantors of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary Entity action and
are not in contravention of (i) the Company’s or such Guarantor’s organizational or charter
documents or any law or regulation applicable to the Company or such Guarantor or (ii) to our
knowledge, any judgment, decree, writ, injunction, order or award of any arbitrator, court or
governmental authority or any contract or undertaking to which the Company or any Guarantor is a
party or by which the Company or any Guarantor or its respective property is bound.

3. No authorization or approval of, filing with, or notice to any governmental authority or
regulatory body is required on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor to authorize, or is required
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or any Guarantor of the
Loan Documents.

4. Each Loan Document to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party has been duly executed
and delivered and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company or such
Guarantor, as applicable, and is enforceable against the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable,
in accordance with its terms.

5. To our knowledge there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding against the Company
or any Guarantor before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which is required to be
described pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Act”) in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) pursuant to the Act, other than matters described in the Company’s 10-K (Annual Report for
Fiscal Year Ended December 27,2003), filed with the SEC on March 11, 2004, and the Company’s 10-Q
(Quarterly Report for Quarterly Period Ended September 25,2004), filed with the SEC on October
25,2004.

The foregoing opinion is subject to and qualified by the following qualifications:

A. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the federal law of the
United States and the law of the State of Michigan.

B. The term “knowledge” as used herein is limited to the actual knowledge of those attorneys
in our firm who have directly participated in this engagement or who are primarily responsible for
the Company and the Guarantors concerning any issue or factual information addressed herein,
Additionally, with respect to factual matters not independently established by us we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and the Guarantors, which reliance
we deem appropriate.

C. To the extent our opinion relates to the enforceability of any agreement or obligation, it
is subject to and qualified by the following:

(1) the effect and application of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws now or hereafter in effect which relate to or limit creditors’ and secured
parties’ rights or remedies generally;

(2) the effect and application of general principles of equity, whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law; and

(3) limitations imposed by applicable law on the enforceability of purported waivers of
rights and defenses.

D. With respect to the validity and legality of the interest provisions of the Agreement and
the Notes, no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Michigan criminal usury statute (MCLA
Sec. 438.41) if the applicable rate of interest on any of the Notes at any time exceeds the
applicable rate specified in such statute (25% per annum simple interest).

E. We have made no independent investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the
statements set forth in the certificates of representatives of the Company or the Guarantors or
other documents presented to us for our review, but we have no knowledge of any incorrect or
misleading statement therein.

F. This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise you
of any changes in the matters set forth herein.

This opinion is addressed to and is for the benefit solely of the Agent and the Lenders and
their permissible successors, assigns and participants, and the Agent’s and Lenders’ respective
legal counsel in connection with the Agreement, and may not be relied upon by any other person,
firm or corporation for any purpose whatsoever and, except as required by law, may not be published

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS AGENT, AND THE LENDERS REFERRED TO BELOW

Gentlemen/Ladies:

We are local Nova Scotia counsel for Universal Forest Products Nova Scotia ULC, an unlimited
company (sometimes referred to as an “unlimited liability company”) (the “Canadian Borrower”), and
have represented the Canadian Borrower in connection with its execution and delivery of an Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit
Agreement”) dated as of December 20, 2004 by and among
Universal Forest Products, Inc., a Michigan corporation, the Canadian Borrower, the lenders party
thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking
association, as Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”),
Wachovia Bank, N.A., as syndication Agent and Standard Federal Bank, N.A., National City Bank of
the Midwest and Comerica Bank as documentation agents (the Credit Agreement and the various
Revolving Credit Notes, each dated as of December 20, 2004 made by the Canadian Borrower, being
collectively referred to as the “Canadian Borrower Loan Documents”).

In connection with the opinions set out below, we have examined executed copies of each of the
following documents:

1. the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents;

2. a certificate of status (the “Certificate of Status”) pertaining to the Canadian Borrower issued
on behalf of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies for the Province
of Nova Scotia, dated December
20, 2004;

3. the memorandum of association, articles of association, other constating documents and
organizational minutes of the Canadian Borrower contained in the minute book of the Canadian
Borrower; and

4. a
resolution of the directors of the Canadian Borrower dated December 20, 2004 authorizing the
execution and delivery of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents by the Canadian Borrower.

We have also examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such public and corporate records, certificates, instruments and other documents
and have considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed.

In stating our opinions, we have assumed:

a. the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as notarial,
certified, telecopies, conformed or reproduction copies thereof and the authenticity of the
originals of such documents;

b. the completeness, truth and accuracy of all facts set forth in official public records and
certificates and other documents supplied by public officials;

c. that the constating documents and corporate resolutions in the minute book of the Canadian
Borrower reviewed by us above remain unamended and complete;

d. that all facts set out in a certificate of an officer of the Canadian Borrower attached hereto,
upon which we have relied in connection with this opinion, are true and correct; and

e. that the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents have each been physically delivered by the Canadian
Borrower to the Agent or its lawful representatives and that such delivery was not subject to any
condition or escrow.

The opinions hereinafter expressed are limited to the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia including
the federal laws of Canada applicable therein as of the date of this opinion letter and we express
no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

	1.	 	The Canadian Borrower is an unlimited company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing as to the filing of annual returns and payment of annual fees under the Companies Act
(Nova Scotia) and Corporations Registration Act (Nova Scotia).

	2.	 	The Canadian Borrower has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents and to borrow under the
Credit Agreement. The Canadian Borrower has taken all necessary corporate and other action to
authorize the performance of its obligations under the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents and to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents.

	3.	 	No consent or authorization of, approval by, notice to, filing with or other act by or in
respect of, any governmental authority in the Province of Nova Scotia or under the federal
laws of Canada applicable therein is required in connection with the borrowings by the
Canadian Borrower under the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity
or enforceability of any of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents.

 

 

 

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, and the Lenders

December 20, 2004

Page 3

	4.	 	The Canadian Borrower Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the
Canadian Borrower.

	5.	 	The execution and delivery of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents by the Canadian Borrower,
the performance of its obligations there under, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, the compliance by the Canadian Borrower with any of the provisions
thereof, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the use of proceeds thereof, all as
provided therein, a) will not violate, or constitute a default under, any requirement of any
law, order or regulation of the Province of Nova Scotia or federal law of Canada applicable
therein applicable to the Canadian Borrower and (b) will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) on any
of the properties or revenues of the Canadian Borrower pursuant to any such law, order or
regulation.

	6.	 	To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of he Canadian
Borrower Loan Documents it is not necessary that any Canadian Borrower Loan Documents or any
other document be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any
court of other authority of the Province of Nova Scotia or that any registration charge or
stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents in the
Province of Nova Scotia other than court filing fees.

	7.	 	A court in the Province of Nova Scotia (a “Nova Scotia Court”) would not refuse to enforce
any of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents by reason of their failure to comply with any
special formal requirements of the Province of Nova Scotia.

	8.	 	It is not necessary under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia or the federal laws of
Canada applicable therein (a) in order to enable the Agent and the Lenders or any of them to
enforce their respective rights of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents or (b) by reason of
the execution of the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents or the performance of the Canadian
Borrower Loan Documents that any of them should be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on
business in the Province of Nova Scotia except that in order to enforce their rights in the
Canadian Borrower Loan Documents the Agent and the Lenders may be required to become licensed
at the time of enforcement under the Corporations Registration Act (Nova Scotia)

	9.	 	In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Canadian Borrower Loan
Documents in any Nova Scotia Court, such court would recognize and give effect to the choice
of law provisions in the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents wherein the parties thereto agree
that the Canadian Borrower Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan if it was not made with a view to
avoiding the consequences of the laws of any other jurisdiction and that choice is not otherwise contrary to public
policy, as such term is understood under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia.

	10.	 	The laws of the Province of Nova Scotia permit an action to be brought in a Nova Scotia court
on any final and conclusive judgment in personam under the internal laws of the State of
Michigan which is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of the State of
Michigan, for a sum certain if:

	 	a.	 	that judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to “natural
justice” and the enforcement of that judgment would not be contrary to “public policy”
as such terms are applied by the courts of the Province of Nova Scotia;

	 
	 	b.	 	the Michigan Court did not act either:

	 	i.	 	without jurisdiction under the conflict of laws rules of the
laws of the Province of Nova Scotia; or

	 	ii.	 	without authority, under the laws in force in Michigan, to
adjudicate concerning the cause of action or subject matter that resulted in
the judgment or concerning the person of that judgment debtor;

	 	c.	 	the Canadian Borrower, was duly served with the process of the Michigan Court
or appeared to defend such process, and, for the purposes of service of process, it is
not sufficient that the Canadian Borrower had agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of
Michigan;

	 	d.	 	the judgment is not contrary to the final and conclusive judgment of another jurisdiction;

	 	e.	 	the enforcement of that judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly,
the enforcement of foreign revenue or penal laws;

	 	f.	 	the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to any order made by the
Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or
the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain
judgments, laws, and directives having effects on competition in Canada; and

	 	g.	 	the action to enforce that judgment is taken within six years of the date of
that foreign judgment as stipulated in the Limitations of Actions Act (Nova Scotia)

	11.	 	The submission by the Canadian Borrower to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the
State of Michigan or the United States of America federal court sitting in Detroit, Michigan
would be recognized by a Nova Scotia Court provided that such submission was enforceable under
the laws by which the documents are governed.

Dear Sirs:

		
	Re:	 	Universal Forest Products Nova Scotia ULC — Credit Agreement

We have acted as Canadian tax counsel to Universal Forest Products Nova Scotia ULC (the “Canadian
Borrower”), an unlimited liability company organized under the laws of Nova Scotia, Canada, in
connection with its execution and delivery of a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as
of December 20, 2004 by and among Universal Forest Products, Inc., a Michigan corporation, the
Canadian Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Agent, Wachovia Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Standard Federal Bank, N.A.,
National City Bank of the Midwest and Comerica Bank, as Documentation Agents. At your request, we
are rendering our opinion concerning certain Canadian tax consequences applicable to Canadian
Lenders who make Canadian Syndicated Loans to the Canadian Borrower under the Credit Agreement. In
connection therewith, we have reviewed the final execution copy of the Credit Agreement. All
capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Our opinion is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) and the
regulations thereunder, our understanding of the current assessing and administrative practices of
the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) and all specific proposals to amend the ITA and the
regulations thereunder which have been publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada)
before the date hereof. Our opinion does not otherwise take into account or anticipate changes in
the law or in the assessment and administrative practices of the CRA, whether by judicial,
governmental or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account tax legislation or
considerations of any province or territory of Canada or any jurisdiction other than Canada. We
assume that the obligations contained in the Credit Agreement to which our opinion relates will be
performed in accordance with the terms described therein.

 

 

 

December 20, 2004

Based on the foregoing, we hereby confirm our opinion that:

1. Other than as set forth in paragraph 2 below and other than customary security registration and
enforcement charges and expenses, there are no taxes imposed under the ITA (or under any other
federal laws applied in Canada) on or by virtue of the execution, delivery, enforcement or
performance of the Canadian Syndicated Loans under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which the Canadian Borrower is a party.

2. There will be withholding tax imposed under the ITA on every amount paid or credited, or deemed
to be paid or credited, to persons who are not residents of Canada for the purposes of the ITA as,
on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest on the Canadian Syndicated
Loans under the Credit Agreement. There will, however, be no such Canadian withholding tax on
amounts which are paid or credited as interest on the Canadian Syndicated Loans under the Credit
Agreement to persons who are residents of Canada in respect of the receipt of such interest,
including persons who are deemed to be residents of Canada under section 212(13.3) of the ITA
because such persons are authorized foreign banks and such interest is in respect of any amount
paid or credited to such bank in respect of its Canadian banking business.

We have not considered and render no opinion on any aspect of law other than as expressly set forth
above.

Yours truly,

BENNETT JONES LLP

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

This Certificate is made and delivered to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, in connection
with the Credit Agreement dated as of December
 _____, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Universal
Forest Products, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), the Canadian Borrower, the lenders
party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent for the
Lenders (the “Agent”), Wachovia Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Standard Federal Bank, N.A.,
as Documentation Agent, and all other Loan Documents. Terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and acting solely in my capacity as an officer of the
Company and not in my individual capacity I hereby certify as follows:

	 	1.	 	I am the duly elected, qualified and acting chief financial officer of the
Company and I have been responsible for acting on behalf of the Company and each
Subsidiary in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the Loan Documents.
In connection with these negotiations, I have been responsible for, among other things,
reviewing the affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

	 
	 	2.	 	I have further, for purposes hereof, reviewed the assets and liabilities of the
Company and the Subsidiaries, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Documents. In particular:

	 	A.	 	I have reviewed the financial statements referred to in Section
4.6 of the Credit Agreement.

	 
	 	B.	 	With respect to contingent and off-balance sheet liabilities
included in the liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, I have
consulted with the appropriate officers and employees of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and outside counsel of the Company concerning pending and
threatened litigation and other contingent liabilities of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

On the basis of the review and analysis described above, I have concluded that:

I. (i) Immediately after the consummation of the Loan Documents and transactions to occur on
the date hereof and immediately following the making of the Advances on the date hereof and after
giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Advances, (a) the fair value of the assets
of the Company and the Subisidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the
debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Company and the Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company and the
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay
the probable liability of the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts
and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
become absolute and matured; (c) the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be
able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they
are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the date
hereof.

 

 

 

(ii) The Company does not intend to, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and does not
believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts
as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any
such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.

II. To the best of my knowledge, none of the Company or the Subsidiaries has executed any Loan
Document or any documents mentioned therein or made any transfer or incurred any obligation
thereunder or in connection therewith with actual intent to hinder, defraud or delay either present
or future creditors.

Executed and delivered on December                     , 2004.
