Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall be required to satisfy any Margin Call as required pursuant to Section 4 during the resolution of any dispute pursuant to this definition. If, after the Buyer and the Seller have made a good-faith effort to agree on the Market Value, Seller still disagrees with Buyer's determination of Market Value, Seller may, at its sole cost, comply with the following dispute resolution procedures. The Seller shall request a rating review from a Rating Agency of the applicable Purchased MH Loans (the "Contested MH Loans") and the overcollateralization levels required for the receipt of an "A+" rating (such review, a "Rating Review").

The Buyer shall then calculate the mean of the two Eligible Bids

received and the Buyer's own determination of Market Value (the "Bid Average") In the event that fewer than two Eligible Bids are received, the Buyer's Market Value determination shall be deemed the Bid Average. The Buyer shall, without limiting Buyer's rights under Section 4, then utilize the higher of the Rating Review Market Value and the Bid Average as the Market Value.

With respect to the calculations above, Market Value in each case may be reduced to reflect any additional reduction as a result of the application of clauses (a) through (k) below.

SECTION 4. MARGIN AMOUNT MAINTENANCE

(a) The Buyer shall determine the Market Value of the Purchased MH Loans on a weekly basis, or at such intervals as determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion.

(b) If at any time the aggregate Asset Value of all related Purchased MH Loans subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Repurchase Price for all such Transactions (a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a "Margin Call"), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee cash or Eligible MH Loans approved by the Buyer in its sole discretion ("Additional Purchased MH Loans") so that the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased MH Loans, including any such cash or Additional Purchased MH Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Transactions. If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to the Seller on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased MH Loans to Buyer no later than 5 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the applicable Margin Deficit is greater than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (such Margin Deficit, a "Significant Deficit"), the Margin Deadline set forth above shall apply with respect to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and the balance of the Margin Deficit (i.e., the amount thereof in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)) shall be satisfied by no later than 5:00 pm (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the date of the Margin Call; provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided further that the Seller shall demonstrate to Buyer's satisfaction that Seller has (A) an unsecured line of credit of at least $100,000,000 and (B) no event or circumstance has occurred thereunder which would, by the terms of the applicable agreement, prohibit Seller from borrowing or drawing money thereunder. The Seller agrees that should Seller incur secured Indebtedness pursuant to an agreement which by its terms provides for a margin deficit or other borrowing or collateral deficiency in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,0000) to be satisfied within a shorter time period than set forth in the preceding sentence (such period, a "More Favorable Period"), the terms of this Repurchase Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended to provide that any Significant Deficit must be satisfied within the More Favorable Period contained in such agreement. The Seller further agrees to execute and deliver an amendment to this Repurchase Agreement evidencing such provisions, provided that the execution

of such amendment shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of such amendment, but shall merely be for the convenience of the parties hereto.

(c) Buyer's election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d) Any cash transferred to the Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

SECTION 5. INCOME PAYMENTS

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and the Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased MH Loans, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accreted value of the Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by the Seller to Buyer) plus the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit (each such payment, a "Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment") on each Payment Date. No later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the Buyer shall give Seller written or electronic notice of the amount of the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment allocated to the Price Differential due on such Payment Date, provided, however, failure of the Buyer to give such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its obligation to pay the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Seller fails to make all or part of the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment is received in full by Buyer.

(b) The Seller shall hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including without limitation all Income received by or on behalf of the Seller with respect to such Purchased MH Loans. All Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer and shall not be commingled with other property of the Seller, any Affiliate of the Seller except as expressly permitted above. On each Payment Date, the Seller shall remit to the Buyer such portion of the Income as is necessary to satisfy the following obligations in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the payment of all costs and fees payable by the Seller pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement;

(ii) second, any accrued and unpaid Price Differential; and

(iii) third, without limiting the rights of Buyer under Section 4 of this Repurchase Agreement, in the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit.

(iv) After the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Seller shall deposit such Income in a deposit account (the title of which shall indicate that the funds therein are being held in trust for Buyer) (the "Collection Account") with a financial institution acceptable to Buyer and subject to the Account Agreement. All such Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer and shall not be commingled with other property of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller except as expressly permitted above. Funds deposited in the Collection Account during any month shall be held therein, in trust for the Buyer, until the next Payment Date.

(c) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all funds in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn and applied as determined by the Buyer to satisfy the outstanding Obligations owed by the Seller to the Buyer.

(d) Buyer shall offset against the Repurchase Price of each such Transaction all Income and Periodic Advance Repurchase Payments actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 5(a), excluding

any Late Payment Fees paid pursuant to any Periodic Advance Repurchase Payments made at the Post-Default Rate pursuant to Section 5(a).

SECTION 6. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

(a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer's certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject the Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction (excluding net income taxes branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed on the Buyer by the Governmental Authority under the laws of which the Buyer is organized or maintains a lending office, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Repurchase Agreement) or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Buyer in respect thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on the Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Buyer, by an amount which the Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Seller shall promptly pay the Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by the Buyer in good faith as will compensate the Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If the Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer's certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Buyer or any corporation controlling the Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Buyer's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Buyer's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Buyer to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer for such reduction.

(c) If the Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Buyer to the Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 7. TAXES.

(a) Any and all payments by the Seller under or in respect of this Repurchase Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including

penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, "Taxes"), unless required by law. If the Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Repurchase Agreement to the Buyer, (i) the Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) the Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Repurchase Agreement, the term "Non-Excluded Taxes" are Taxes other than, in the case of the Buyer, Taxes that are imposed as a result of any present or former connection between the Buyer and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, unless such Taxes are imposed solely as a result of such Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Repurchase Agreement (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) If on the date of the assignment pursuant to which a Buyer assignee becomes a party to this Repurchase Agreement, the Buyer assignor was entitled to payments under this Section 7, then, to such extent (and only to such extent), the term "Non-Excluded Taxes" shall include (in addition to Taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) such Taxes, if any, applicable with respect to such Buyer assignee on such date. Any additional Taxes in respect of a Buyer that result solely and directly from a change in the principal office of such Buyer shall be treated as any Taxes other than Non-Excluded Taxes ("Excluded Taxes") unless (A) any such additional Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in the applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date of such change or (B) such change is made pursuant to the terms of Section 7(j) or otherwise as a result of a request therefor by the Seller.

(c) In addition, the Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Repurchase Agreement or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Repurchase Agreement (collectively, "Other Taxes").

(d) The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Buyer under this Section 7, imposed on or paid by the Buyer, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Seller provided for in this Section 7(d) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by the Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(d) shall be paid within 30 days from the date on which the Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Seller to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Seller will deliver to the Buyer the original or a certified copy of the receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Repurchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require the Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(g) Each party to this Repurchase Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased MH Loans and the Purchased MH Loans as owned by the Seller for federal income tax purposes in the absence of a Default by the Seller. All parties to this Repurchase Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

(h) Any Buyer, including any participant, assignee, or successor (each such participant, assignee, or successor, a "Transferee"), that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include Incorporated," "Inc.," "Corporation," "Corp.," "P.C.," "insurance company," or "assurance company" (a "Non-Exempt Buyer") shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(1) a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which the Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a reduced or zero rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto); or

(2) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI (a "Section 7 Certificate") or (y) a complete and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(3) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x) a complete and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) if such Non-Exempt Buyer is disregarded for federal income tax purposes, the documents that would be required by clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) with respect to its beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were the Buyer; or

(4) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (i) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (ii) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming a zero rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(5) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, or is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, "beneficial owners"), the documents that would be required by clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or this clause (5) with respect to each such beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were the Buyer, provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (5) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (5) to be made in the sole discretion of the Seller.

If the forms referred to above in this Section 7(h) that are provided by a Buyer at the time such Buyer first becomes a party to this Repurchase Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than Excluded Taxes and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form.

(i) For any period with respect to which any Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (h) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, (ii) if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (h) of this Section 7 or (iii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for such Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Buyer shall not be entitled to payment or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps, at the sole expense of the Buyer, as such Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(j) Each Buyer hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling such Buyer to additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7, such Buyer shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions), at the sole expense of the Seller, to designate a different applicable lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not be, in the sole judgment of such Buyer, legally inadvisable or commercially or otherwise disadvantageous to such Buyer in any respect.

SECTION 8. SECURITY INTEREST

Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, the Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by the Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased MH Loans, the Records, and all Seller's rights under the Servicing Agreement related to the Purchased MH Loans, (which, without limitation, includes the loans listed on the Loan Schedule and Appendix I to the Confirmation and that is delivered to the Buyer as of each Purchase Date and all promissory notes or chattel paper evidencing such loans) any Property relating to any Purchased MH Loan, any Takeout Commitments relating to any Purchased MH Loan, Seller's rights under all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased MH Loan, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to any Purchased MH Loan, the Collection Account, Seller's rights under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to any Purchased MH Loan, Seller's rights under any MH Loan Transfer Agreement relating to any Purchased MH Loan and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of the Seller in escrow accounts) payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the forgoing relates to any Purchased MH Loan and any other assets relating to the Purchased MH Loans or any interest in the Purchased MH Loans, any chattel paper owned by Seller arising now or in the future with respect to a sale of a Manufactured Home by the Affiliate Guarantor (excluding any chattel paper arising from the sale of a Manufactured Home in respect of which (i) the related Loan has been repaid, (ii) the Buyer has released its Lien under the Loan and Security Agreement or (iii) the Buyer did not advance a Loan against the Manufactured Home under the related Loan and Security

Upon termination of this Repurchase Agreement and payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due hereunder to the Buyer of all Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Repurchase Documents the Buyer shall release its security interest in any remaining Repurchase Assets.

In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased MH Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased MH Loan, the Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by the Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Seller provided, however, that the Seller shall not be liable for any such expense, loss or damage to the extent resulting from the Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of the Buyer's rights under this Repurchase Agreement, any other Repurchase Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, provided, however, that the Seller shall not be liable for such Costs to the extent resulting from the Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Seller agrees to pay thirty (30) calendar days when billed by the Buyer all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to the Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder.

limited to, those out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 27 hereof.

(d) The Sellers shall provide promptly to Buyer (i) a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased MH Loans, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer's interest in such Purchased MH Loans and the Servicer's agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Purchased MH Loans and any related Income with respect thereto.

(e) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default hereunder or a material default under the Servicing Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer's right to service the Purchased MH Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee. The Seller shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased MH Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(f) If the Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to the Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Purchased MH Loan has failed to perform fully the Seller's obligations under the Repurchase Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased MH Loans in any material respect, the Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iv) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

SECTION 18. SET-OFF

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Buyer hereunder and by law, the Buyer shall have the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller, any Guarantor or any respective Affiliate thereof. The Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such set-off and application made by the Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

SECTION 20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Repurchase Agreement, together with the Repurchase Documents, constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and the Seller with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased MH Loans. By acceptance of this Repurchase Agreement, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Repurchase Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

SECTION 21. NON-ASSIGNABILITY

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Repurchase Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by the Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Repurchase Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Repurchase Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Repurchase Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Repurchase Agreement. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement and the Repurchase Documents to (i) an Affiliate of the Buyer without the prior consent of the Seller provided, that such Affiliate (a) is 100% owned by the Buyer and (b) has shareholder equity of at least $50,000,000; or (ii) another Person with the prior consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Repurchase Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the assignment and acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Repurchase Documents. After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement and the Repurchase Documents to any Person without the prior consent of Seller. Unless otherwise stated in the assignment and acceptance, the Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Repurchase Agreement that does not comply with this Section 21 shall be treated for purposes of this Repurchase Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the following paragraph of this Section.

The Seller shall maintain a register (the "Register") on which it will record the Buyer's rights hereunder, and each assignment and acceptance and participation; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to record any transfer on the Register of which it has not received notice, or does not have knowledge. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyers (including all assignees, successors and participants). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Seller's obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Repurchase Agreement or under any applicable law or governmental regulation or procedure.

The Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Buyer's obligations under this Repurchase Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer's rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7, each participant of the Buyer shall be entitled to the additional compensation and other rights and protections afforded the Buyer under Section 7 to the same extent as the Buyer would have been entitled to receive them with respect to the participation sold to such participant.

The Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 21, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to the Buyer by or on behalf of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Repurchase Agreement.

The Buyer may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Repurchase Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Buyer from its obligations hereunder.

In the event that the Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree to negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into prior to such transfer an amendment to this Repurchase Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

SECTION 22. TERMINABILITY

Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and the Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. Notwithstanding any such termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the representations and warranties and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. The obligations of the Seller under Section 15 hereof shall survive the termination of this Repurchase Agreement.

SECTION 25. NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No failure on the part of the Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Repurchase Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Repurchase Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by the Buyer in writing.

(b) The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties hereto pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be netted as follows. In the event that either party (the "Defaulting Party") shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction hereunder, the other party (the "Nondefaulting Party") shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment obligation that the Defaulting Party failed to honor.

SECTION 27. DUE DILIGENCE

The Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the MH Loans and the Seller, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to the Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Loan Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such MH Loans in the possession or under the

control of the Seller and/or the Custodian. The Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Loan Files and the MH Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase MH Loans from the Seller based solely upon the information provided by the Seller to Buyer in the Purchased MH Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the MH Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker's price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related mortgaged properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such MH Loan. Buyer may underwrite such MH Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. The Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such MH Loans in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller. The Seller further agrees that the Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer's activities pursuant to this Section 27 ("Due Diligence Costs"); provided, that such Due Diligence Costs shall not exceed $50,000 per calendar year unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, in which event Buyer shall have the right to perform due diligence, at the sole expense of Seller without regard to the dollar limitation set forth herein.

SECTION 30. BUYER'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a) The Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Seller and in the name of the Seller or in its own name, from time to time in the Buyer's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Repurchase Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Repurchase Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller hereby gives

SECTION 33. INTENT

(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of MH Loans subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(b) It is understood that either party's right to liquidate MH Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an "insured depository institution," as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended ("FDIA"), then each Transaction hereunder is a "qualified financial contract," as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

SECTION 35. CONFLICTS

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Repurchase Agreement, any other Repurchase Document and any Confirmation, the documents shall control in the following order of priority: first, the terms of the Confirmation shall prevail, then the terms of this Repurchase Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the Repurchase Documents shall prevail.

SCHEDULE 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MH LOANS

The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer, with respect to each MH Loan, that as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased MH Loan, that is an MH Loan, by the Buyer from the Seller and as of the date of this Repurchase Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect. For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to an MH Loan if and when the Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such MH Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller or the Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

(a) Title to MH Loans. The Seller has good title to and is the sole owner of record and holder of the MH Loan and the indebtedness evidenced thereby. The MH Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the MH Loans to the Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity interest, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each MH Loan pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement, and following the sale of each MH Loan, the Buyer will own such MH Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity interest, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller has not sold, assigned or pledged the MH Loans to any person other than the Buyer.

(b) Delivery of Loan Documents. The Loan File and any other documents required to be delivered for the MH Loan by the Seller under this Repurchase Agreement or the Custodial Agreement have been delivered to the Custodian. The Seller or the Servicer is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Loan File, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian.

(c) Accuracy of the Loan Schedule. The MH Loan is as described in the related Loan Schedule delivered by Seller to Buyer, and the information contained in the Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the related Purchase Date.

(d) Payments. No MH Loan is more than 59 days Delinquent.

(e) No Outstanding Charges. All outstanding taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents previously due and owing had been paid. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced or solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Obligor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of principal or interest required under the MH Loan.

(f) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the MH Note, the MH Loan and the MH Contract have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument identified in the Loan File and which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Buyer. The terms of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, if any, and its terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing and perfecting the loan and/or security interest, as applicable, of the Loans have been paid. No Obligor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the

title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, if any, and which assumption agreement is part of the Loan File.

(g) Absence of Defenses. The MH Loan, MH Note and the MH Contract, are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense (including the defense of usury), based on the invalidity or unenforceability of the MH Loan, MH Note, and/or MH Contract, or on any conduct of Seller or any of its officers, employees, representatives, Affiliates or assignors in origination or servicing the MH Loan, nor will the operations of any of the terms of the MH Loan, the MH Note, or the MH Contract, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the MH Loan, the MH Note, or the MH Contract, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense with respect thereto. No such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted to the Seller or has been asserted to any other person, and no Obligor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the MH Loan was originated and the Seller has not received notice that any Obligor is a debtor in any such proceeding. The making of the MH Loan did not violate any existing court order and was in compliance with any statutes, rules and regulations.

(h) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of: (i) the MH Loan, the MH Contract, the MH Note, the related Manufactured Home is insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire and such other risks as are usually insured against in the broad form of extended coverage hazard insurance available from time to time. All such insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") meet the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, and conform to Accepted Servicing Practices, and are a standard policy of insurance for the locale where the related Manufactured Home is located. The amount of the insurance is at least in the amount of the full insurable value of the related Manufactured Home on a replacement cost basis or the unpaid balance of the MH Loan, whichever is less. The hazard insurance policy names (and will name) the Obligor as the insured and contains a standard mortgagee loss payable clause in favor of Seller (or Seller's servicer) and its successors and assigns. The MH Note and/or the MH Contract obligates the Obligor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Obligor's cost and expense, and on the Obligor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the MH Note and/or the MH Contract to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Obligor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Obligor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer. The hazard insurance policy is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Buyer upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Repurchase Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, nor have any originator or any subservicer engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsements provided for therein, or the validity and binding effect of either. In connection with the issuance of the hazard insurance policy, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity. No such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(i) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate closing procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Loan have been complied with, and such compliance is not affected by the holding of the MH Loans by the Custodian, on the Buyer's behalf, or the Buyer's ownership of the MH Loans, and the Seller shall maintain in its possession available for the Buyer's inspection, and shall deliver to the Buyer upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations.

(j) No Satisfaction of MH Loan, MH Note or MH Contract. Neither the MH Loan, the MH Note nor the MH Contract has been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the related Manufactured Home has not been released from the related lien, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Obligor of any action, if the Obligor's failure to perform such action would cause the MH Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Obligor.

(k) Location and Type of Property. Each of the Manufactured Homes is located in the United States. Each Manufactured Home, securing MH Paper, is located in a manufactured housing community owned and managed by the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary thereof. No portion of the Manufactured Home is used for commercial purposes.

(l) Valid Lien.

(A) The MH Paper creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Manufactured Home securing such MH Paper.

(B) If any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the MH Loan established and created a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to Buyer. The Property was not, as of the date of origination of the MH Loans, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien, subordinate to the lien of the MH Paper.

(m) Validity of Loan Documents. The MH Note and/or MH Contract, and every other agreement, if any, executed and delivered by the Obligor in connection with the MH Loan, are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All prepayment charges with respect to the MH Loans are legal, valid and enforceable subject to applicable state law. All parties to the MH Note, the MH Loan and the MH Contract, and each other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the MH Loan and to execute and deliver the MH Note, the MH Loan and the MH Contract, and each other such related agreement, and the MH Note, the MH Loan and the MH Contract and each other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by the respective Obligors. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Loan File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for MH Loan underwriting were not falsified by any party and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud was committed by any party in connection with the origination, modification or amendment of the MH Loan.

(n) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The MH Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the MH Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the MH Loan and the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements were paid, and the Obligor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the MH Note or the MH Contract.

(o) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest (other than interests created by this transaction) in the MH Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state where the related

Manufactured Home is located, except where failure to comply with such licensing requirements will not adversely affect Buyer's interest in the MH Loan, all parties were (2)(a) organized under the laws of such a state, or (b) qualified to do business in such state, or (c) federal savings and loan associations, savings banks, or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (d) not doing business in such state, and (3) all parties had capacity to execute the MH Loans.

(p) No Defaults. Other than delinquencies of less than 59 days, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the MH Loan, the MH Note or the MH Contract, or related documents and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(q) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Manufactured Home which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related MH Loan, MH Note or MH Contract.

(r) Payment Terms. The related MH Note or MH Contract is payable in equal monthly or bi-monthly installments (other than the last payment) of principal and interest; and (ii) the MH Loan Interest Rate is fixed and the related MH Note or MH Contract is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been or will be properly paid and credited.

(s) Customary Provisions. Each MH Contract contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the benefits of the security provided thereby, including by repossession.

(t) Occupancy of the Property. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Manufactured Home and with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities unless the failure of the originator to obtain said inspections, licenses and certificates would not affect the value of the Manufactured Home or affect the enforceability of the MH Loan, the MH Note or the MH Contract. If so indicated on the related Loan Schedule, at the time of origination of the MH Loans, the obligor was the primary resident of the related Manufactured Home.

(u) No Additional Collateral. The MH Note and/or the MH Contract is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in the "Valid Lien" representation above.

(v) Due on Sale. Each MH Contract, together with any such documents as may be required under applicable law, contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in the event that the Manufactured Home is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, at the option of the mortgagee.

(w) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The MH Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Obligor or anyone on behalf of the Obligor, or paid by any source other than the Obligor, nor does it contain any other similar provisions currently in effect which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The MH Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage and the MH Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
