The purpose of the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 'Plan') is to provide a means of paying incentive compensation to certain key management employees who contribute materially to the long-term success of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. By relating the incentive rewards of certain key executives to the achievement of high cash-flow returns over successive two-year periods, the Company will be in a position to provide additional motivation and to reward extraordinary performance by making those employees most responsible for such performance participants in the Company's success. Consistent increases in the Company's cash flow add economic value to the Company, which benefits the Company's shareholders. In addition, by providing long-term incentive compensation opportunities as well as the Company's long-time short-term incentive program, the Company expects not only to attract but also to maintain, on a long-term basis, a highly competent management team. 2. DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below: 2.1 AWARD PERIOD. 'Award Period' shall mean a period of two consecutive Fiscal Years selected by the Committee. No more than one Award Period shall begin during any single Fiscal Year. 2.2 BOARD. 'Board' shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company (meaning in this case the parent company and not its subsidiaries). 2.3 CASH-FLOW RETURN. 'Cash-Flow Return' shall mean net income for a Fiscal Year after provisions for taxes on income, as shown on Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.'s audited consolidated financial statements as at the end of a Fiscal Year, plus provisions for depreciation and amortization and Interest Expense (after tax), adjusted to (i) exclude items of either a positive or negative nature resulting from the disposal of a segment of a business, classified as being an 'extraordinary' item, or classified as an 'unusual or infrequent' item (including any item associated with a change in the capital structure of the Company or unusual or infrequent items resulting from any transaction or restructuring approved by the Board), all as determined using principles similar to generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) exclude items of either a positive or negative nature resulting from the acquisition, operation, or disposition of a business operation that, based upon the type of business conducted or its geographic location, does not constitute a core business of the Company's business operations, (iii) include any amounts which previously reduced such Cash-Flow Return for such Fiscal Year as a result of the payment or accrual of benefits to Participants under this Plan and (iv) exclude the effect of any acquisitions during the Award Period accounted for as a 'pooling of interests' by restating the financial statements to indicate the effect which would have resulted if such acquisitions had been accounted for as 'purchases'. Each of the adjustments referred to in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence shall be made net of 'tax effect', if any. 2.4 CASH-FLOW RETURN ON GROSS CASH INVESTMENTS 'Cash-Flow Return on Gross Cash Investment' for an Award Period shall mean the average annual amount of Cash-Flow Return for the two (2) fiscal years included in the Award Period divided by the Gross Cash Investment at the end of the Fiscal Year immediately prior to the Award Period. By multiplying the amount determined under the preceding sentence by 100, Cash-Flow Return on Gross Cash Investment may be expressed as a percentage. If this Plan calls for the computation of Cash-Flow Return on Gross Cash Investment for a period which is less than a full Award Period, the Cash-Flow Return shall be the aggregate amount, averaged on an annualized basis, earned between the commencement of the Award Period and the date of the unaudited interim financial statements as of the end of the fiscal month immediately preceding the end of the period and the Gross Cash Investment shall be the Gross Cash Investment at the end of the Fiscal Year immediately prior to the Award Period. 2.5 CHANGE OF CONTROL.

'Average Annual Direct Compensation' shall mean the average amount of annual Direct Compensation paid to the Benchmark Participant during an Award Period or, if applicable, a shortened Award Period.

Specifically, without limiting the provisions of the preceding sentence, computations as of the end of a fiscal quarter or other period of time shall be accrued as of the last day of the quarter or applicable period of time, notwithstanding that the computation of the amount may not be completed until some time thereafter or that actual payment may be deferred by the election of the employee or otherwise to some future date. 2.10 DISABILITY.

In such event, a Participant whose participation is terminated by the Committee will be entitled to receive Incentive Compensation for each such Award Period after the conclusion of such Award Period, on a pro rata basis calculated in the same manner as under Section 6.3, and a Participant whose number of Participation Units is reduced shall be entitled to receive Incentive Compensation for each such Award Period after the conclusion of such Award Period on a pro rata basis calculated by averaging the Participation Units held by the Participant during the Award Period based on the percentage of the Award Period the Participant held each respective number of Participation 8 Units; provided, however that the provisions of Section 6.3(iii) shall not apply to payment made under this Section. 4.4 DESIGNATION OF THE BENCHMARK PARTICIPANT AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS. Prior to each Award Period, the Committee shall designate the Benchmark Participant from among the Participants and shall further designate the Other Participants. 5.

Prior to the commencement of each Award Period, the Committee shall select the persons who will be Participants during the Award Period and shall designate the Benchmark Participant and Other Participants. Such selection and designation shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Plan. 5.4 DETERMINATION OF THE BENCHMARK PARTICIPANT'S INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARD LEVELS. Prior to the commencement of each Award Period the Committee shall establish for the Benchmark Participant: (i) the Benchmark Participant's Minimum Achievement Award, expressed as a percentage of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period: (ii) the Benchmark Participant's Target Performance Award, expressed as a percentage of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period; and (iii) the Benchmark Participant's Maximum Incentive Compensation Award expressed as a percentage of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period. 9 The Benchmark Participant's Target Performance Award shall not exceed 35% of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period nor shall his Maximum Incentive Compensation Award exceed 50% of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period. 5.5 AWARD OF PARTICIPATION UNITS TO THE BENCHMARK PARTICIPANT AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS. Prior to the commencement of each Award Period, the Committee shall award to the Benchmark Participant and each Other Participant a specific number of Participation Units determined by the Committee. 5.6 COMMUNICATION OF OBJECTIVES AND RELATED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION BENEFITS. Performance goals and the method of determining Incentive Compensation in relationship to the Performance goals shall be communicated to the Participants prior to the beginning of each Award Period. 6. AMOUNT OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. 6.1 CALCULATION OF THE BENCHMARK PARTICIPANT'S INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARD. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5 of this Plan, the amount of Incentive Compensation payable for each Award Period to the Benchmark Participant shall be as follows: (i) FAILURE TO ACHIEVE MINIMUM PERFORMANCE LEVEL. If at the end of the Award Period the Company's actual performance level has not equaled or exceeded the Minimum Performance Level, no Incentive Compensation shall be payable. (ii) PERFORMANCE EQUAL OR EXCEEDING MINIMUM LEVEL. If at the end of the Award Period the Company's actual performance level equals or exceeds the Minimum Performance Level but does not equal or exceed the Performance Objective, the Benchmark Participant shall receive as Incentive Compensation a percentage of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period which is equal to the sum of (a) the Minimum Achievement Award plus (b) an additional percentage determined by multiplying the difference between his Target Performance Award and his Minimum Achievement Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the Company's actual performance level and the Minimum Performance Level and the denominator of which is the difference between the Performance Objective and the Minimum Performance Level. (iii) PERFORMANCE EQUALS PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE. 10 If at the end of the Award Period the Company's actual performance level equals the Performance Objective, the Benchmark Participant shall receive as Incentive compensation a percent of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period which is equal to his Target Performance Award. (iv) PERFORMANCE EXCEEDS PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE. If at the end of the Award Period the Company's actual performance level exceeds the Performance Objective but does not equal or exceed the Maximum Award Level, the Benchmark Participant shall receive as Incentive Compensation a percentage of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period which is equal to the sum of (a) his Target Performance Award plus (b) an additional percentage determined by multiplying the difference between his Maximum Incentive Compensation Award and his Target Performance Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the Company's actual performance level and the Performance Objective and the denominator of which is the difference between the Maximum Performance Level and the Performance Objective. (v) MAXIMUM AMOUNT. If at the end of the Award Period the company's actual performance level equals or exceeds the Maximum Performance Level, the Benchmark Participant shall receive as Incentive Compensation a percentage of his Average Annual Direct Compensation during the Award Period which is equal to this Maximum Incentive Compensation Award. 6.2 CALCULATION OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION FOR OTHER PARTICIPANTS. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5 of the Plan, the amount of Incentive Compensation payable to the Other Participants for each Award Period shall be calculated by multiplying the amount of Incentive compensation paid to the Benchmark Participant for such Award Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Participation Units awarded to each such Other Participant for such Award Period and the denominator of which is the number of Participation Units awarded to the Benchmark Participant for such Award Period. In the event of the death, Disability, Retirement or termination of employment of the Benchmark Participant during an Award Period, the Incentive Compensation awarded to the Other Participants will be determined by applying the fraction described in the preceding paragraph to the Incentive Compensation the Benchmark Participant would have received for such Award Period had his Direct Compensation continued throughout such Award Period at the gross salary and bonus payment levels in effect immediately prior to his death, Disability, Retirement or termination of employment. 6.3 AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO DECEASED DISABLED AND RETIRED PARTICIPANTS. If a Participant's employment by the Company is terminated during an Award Period by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, the Participant's Incentive Compensation, if any, for the Award Period shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Plan, 11 whichever is applicable, as if such Participant had remained a Participant at the end of the Award Period; provided, however, the following shall apply: (i) for the purpose of determining the Company's Actual Performance Level, the Award Period shall commence as of the date originally established but shall end as of the end of the Fiscal Year during which the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement occurred. The achievement of the various Incentive Compensation goals shall therefore be determined on the basis of the Company's performance over a shorter period of time if the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement occurs prior to the commencement of the second Fiscal Year of an Award Period. (ii) the amount of Incentive Compensation, if any, computed under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 of this Plan, whichever is applicable, shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full fiscal months during which the Participant was an employee of the Company during the Award Period and the denominator of which is the number of full fiscal months contained in the full two years of the Award Period during which the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement occurs. (iii) the limitation set forth in Section 6.5 shall not apply to amounts payable under this section 6.3 and, with respect to the amounts payable to Other Participants during such Award Period, amounts payable under this Section 6.3 shall not be included in computing the limitation under Section 6.5. 6.4 NO INCENTIVE COMPENSATION FOR TERMINATED EMPLOYEES. No Incentive Compensation shall be payable for an Award Period if the Participant's employment by the Company is terminated during the Award Period for reasons other than death, Disability or Retirement, provided that a Participant who is granted a Company-approved leave of absence shall not be deemed to have terminated employment by virtue of such leave of absence. 6.5 LIMITATION OF AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PAYABLE IN ANY ONE FISCAL YEAR. Except as is provided in Paragraph (iii) of Section 6.3 of this Plan, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the total Incentive compensation payable to all Participants for an Award Period (assuming the payment of all amounts under Section 7.1 of this Plan) exceeds three percent (3%) of the Company's aggregate Cash-Flow Return (as defined in Section 2.3) for that Award Period, the Incentive Compensation payable to each Participant for that Award Period shall be reduced in the proportion that each such Participant shares in the total Incentive compensation for the Award Period to such an extent that the total Incentive Compensation payable for the Award Period does not exceed three percent (3% ) of the Company's aggregate Cash-Flow Return for the Award Period. 12 7. PAYMENT. 7.1 FORM. At the end of each Award Period, the Committee shall determine in accordance with Section 6 of this Plan the Incentive Compensation, if any, for the Participant on the basis of the extent to which the performance goals were achieved by the Company. Incentive Compensation awarded under the terms of this Plan shall be paid in cash as a lump sum as soon as practicable after audited financial statements are available for the Award Period to which the Incentive Compensation pertains, unless deferred by the Participant in accordance with any applicable program for deferring incentive compensation under which such Participant has made a valid election to defer all or part of such award. In such latter case, the amount deferred by such Participant shall be handled in accordance with the applicable provisions of such deferred compensation program. 7.2 FORFEITURE OF CERTAIN BENEFITS. In the event that a Participant who has amounts payable as Incentive compensation under the terms of this Plan which have not been paid: (i) has engaged in felonious or fraudulent activity resulting in harm to the Company, or (ii) has divulged any of the Company's confidential information or trade information or trade secrets to a competitor, the Committee may terminate all or such portion of the amount payable as incentive compensation to the Participant as it deems appropriate. 7.3 DEATH PRIOR TO FULL PAYMENT. In the event that a Participant has amounts payable as Incentive Compensation under this Plan and dies prior to the payment of such amounts, the amounts payable at the time of the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's beneficiary or, if no beneficiary was designated by the Participant, to the Participant's estate. 8. WAIVER OF PARTICIPATION. 8.1 PARTICIPATION VOLUNTARY. Participation in this Plan is voluntary, and an employee otherwise eligible to become a Participant or maintain his status as a Participant may waive participation by filing a declaration to this effect with the Committee. 8.2 EFFECT OF WAIVER. In the event that a Participant waives participation in this Plan during an Award Period, no Incentive Compensation may be paid to such Participant for the Award Period during which the waiver of participation is effective. 13 9. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. 9.l DESIGNATION. A Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries who, upon his death, are to receive the distributions that otherwise would have been paid to him. All designations shall be in writing in form accepted or approved by the Committee and shall be effective only if and when delivered to the Committee during the lifetime of the Participant. If a Participant designates a beneficiary without providing in the designation that the beneficiary must be living at the time of such distribution, the designation shall vest in the beneficiary all of the distributions whether payable before or after the beneficiary's death, and any distributions remaining upon the beneficiary's death shall be made to the beneficiary's estate. 9.2 CHANGES. A Participant may from time to time during his lifetime change his beneficiary or beneficiaries by a written instrument in form accepted or approved by the Committee and delivered to the Company. In the event a Participant does not designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries as aforesaid, or if for any reason such designation does not become effective, amounts that otherwise would have been paid to such Participant shall be paid to his estate. 10. DISSOLUTION OR MERGER. 10.1 DISSOLUTION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL OF FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. In the event that the Company is liquidated or dissolved, or in the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control, this Plan and every outstanding Award Period shall be terminated as of the date of such event. Incentive Compensation, if any, for the outstanding Award Period so terminated shall be computed by assuming that all Participants retired as of the date of such event and were entitled to the benefit, if any, computed under Section 6.3 of this Plan; provided, however, for the purposes of subparagraph (i) of Section 6.3, the Fiscal Year during which the assumed retirement occurs shall end on the date of such event. In respect of amounts deferred hereunder and any amounts which may then or thereafter become payable to a Participant or to a Participant's beneficiary or successors under Section 7 hereof plus any Award made for any outstanding Award Periods terminated under this Section 10.1, the Company shall pay such amounts promptly in cash, without regard to any elections with respect to deferrals or installments which the Participant may have in effect. Payment shall be made upon the earlier to occur of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or Change of Control with respect to the Company or (ii) a determination made by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its discretion that such liquidation, dissolution or Change of Control is imminent. A Participant shall be indemnified and held harmless for any costs incurred, including without limitation attorney's fees, in the course of and in order to receive payments of amounts to which he is entitled under this Section 10.1 by reason of Change of Control. 14 10.2 RECAPITALIZATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1, if the Company is recapitalized or is merged in a transaction which does not result in a substantial change in the Company's operations, business, or in the ownership of the outstanding equity securities of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.; the Board at its sole option may determine that the provisions of Section 10.1 shall not apply. 11. CLAIM TO INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE RIGHTS. No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to become a Participant under this Plan. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, the employment contract between the Company or a Subsidiary, in the event the employer is a Subsidiary, being the determination document with respect to the employment relationship. 12. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Participants under this Plan shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this Plan. No trust fund shall be created in connection with the Plan, and there shall be no funding of amounts which may become or are payable to any Participant. 13. NONTRANSFERABILITY. A person's rights and interests under this Plan, including amounts payable, may not be assigned, pledged, transferred or otherwise hypothecated except, in the event of an employee's death, to his designated beneficiary as provided in this Plan, or in the absence of such designation, to his heirs, devisees or legatees by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant or his successor shall attempt to assign, transfer or dispose of any right under this Plan, or should such right be subjected to attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration or other legal, equitable or other process, it shall ipso facto pass to such one or more as may be appointed by the Committee from among the beneficiaries, if any, theretofore designated by such Participant and the spouse and blood relatives of the Participant. However, the Committee in its sole discretion may reappoint the Participant to receive any payment thereafter becoming due either in whole or in part. Any appointment made by the Committee hereunder may be revoked by the Committee at any time, and a further appointment made by it. 14. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right to deduct any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other charges required by law to be withheld from payments made to participants under the Plan. 15. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. Payments under the Plan shall be considered as compensation for the purposes of determining benefits under the Company's retirement or supplemental benefit plans, but shall not be taken into account in determining benefits under other benefit plans of the Company. 15 16. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. Unless this Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as herein provided, no Award Periods may begin after May 1, 2004. The Board may terminate this Plan or may modify or amend this Plan in such respects as it shall deem advisable. No termination or amendment of the Plan under this Section 16 shall reduce the amount of the benefit which a person who is a Participant at the time such termination or amendment occurs has either already become entitled to under Section 6 or may become entitled to as a result of Award Periods which have commenced but have not theretofore been concluded, unless such Participant consents to such reduction; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, at its sole option, upon amendment or termination of the Plan, from prepaying all or any portion of Incentive Compensation amounts which are not yet payable or which have been deferred under Section 7 of this Plan. 17. INCOMPETENCY. Every person receiving or claiming benefits under this Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on which the Committee receives a written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee, that such person is incompetent and that a guardian, conservator or other person legally vested with the care of his estate has been appointed; provided, however, that if the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion that any person to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of incompetency, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, a brother or sister, of said person, or to any person or institution deemed by the Committee to have incurred expenses for such person otherwise entitled to payment. In the event a guardian or conservator of the estate of any person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, payments shall be made to such guardian or conservator provided that proper proof of appointment and continuing qualification is furnished in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. Any payment made in accordance with this Section shall be a complete discharge of any liability therefor under the Plan. 18. EFFECTIVE DATE OF AMENDED AND RESTATED PLAN. The Amended and Restated Plan is effective as of April 24, 1994, subject to shareholder approval; for Award Periods beginning prior to such date, the Plan as existing prior to the effect of the amendments contained herein shall continue in effect. 19. NOTICES. Any elections by a Participant and the designation of any beneficiary under Section 9 shall be made on forms supplied or approved by the Committee.
