The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements 6 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (the "Company") and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries including Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), SunChamp LLC ("SunChamp"), and Sun Home Services, Inc. ("SHS"), have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The following notes to consolidated financial statements present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' financial statements in order to conform to current period presentation. 2. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION: In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123 ("Statement 123"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or the liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. SFAS 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 using the "modified prospective" method permitted by SFAS 123(R) in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), forfeitures were recognized as they occurred. Upon adopting SFAS 123(R), an estimate of future forfeitures is incorporated into the determination of compensation cost for restricted stock grants and stock options. This effect relates to the reversal of previously recorded compensation expense on restricted stock grants that were not vested at January 1, 2006 and are now expected to be forfeited. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 123(R) for the 3 months ending March 31, 2006 was an increase of $0.3 million in net income, and an increase of $0.02 in both basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the recognition of aggregate deferred compensation as a component of equity is no longer permitted. Therefore, the amount of deferred compensation that had been in "Unearned compensation" was eliminated against "Additional paid-in capital" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2006. 7 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION, CONTINUED; The modified prospective method of SFAS 123(R) does not require prior periods to be restated to reflect the amount of compensation cost that would have been reflected in the financial statements. The effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 to stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was as follows (amounts in thousands except for per share data):
2005 ------- Net income (loss), as reported $ 687 Stock-based compensation expense included in net income as reported 476 Stock-based compensation expense under fair value method (490) ------- Pro forma net income (loss) $ 673 ======= Earnings (loss) per share (Basic), as reported $ 0.04 ======= Earnings (loss) per share (Basic), pro forma $ 0.04 ======= Earnings (loss) per share (Diluted), as reported $ 0.04 ======= Earnings (loss) per share (Diluted), pro forma $ 0.04 =======
Total compensation cost recorded for stock-based compensation was $1.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in the compensation cost for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.02 million related to stock options that were granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), which are being recognized over the remaining vesting period. The Company awards share-based compensation under its Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the issuance of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other stock based awards. No further awards may be granted under the Plan at this time. The Company believes that the awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders and has provided these incentives to attract and retain executive officers and key employees. RESTRICTED STOCK The Company's primary share-based compensation is restricted stock. The following table summarizes the Company's restricted stock activity for the first three months of 2006:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE GRANT NUMBER OF SHARES DATE FAIR VALUE ---------------- --------------- Nonvested restricted shares at January 1, 2006 417,275 $34.91 Granted -- Vested (54,597) $33.41 Forfeited -- ------- Nonvested restricted shares at March 31, 2006 362,678 $35.14 =======
8 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION, CONTINUED; The remaining compensation expense to be recognized associated with the 362,678 restricted shares outstanding at March 31, 2006 is approximately $8.0 million. That expense is expected to be recognized $1.0 million in the remainder of 2006, $1.8 million in 2007, $1.3 million in 2008, $2.4 million in 2009 and $1.5 million thereafter. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $1.1 million of compensation expense related to its outstanding restricted stock. Recipients receive dividend payments on the shares of restricted stock prior to vesting. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK The Company has 93,750 performance-based restricted shares which will vest on March 1, 2010. The number of shares that will vest will be determined based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company's per share funds from operations ("FFO") as determined by comparing the per share FFO for the year ended December 31, 2009 with the per share FFO for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company must achieve compounded annual growth of at least 5% to receive any amount of the award and at least 9% to receive the entire share award. The Company recognizes expense related to performance-based restricted shares based on an estimate of the number of restricted shares that will ultimately vest. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, no compensation expense was recognized for the performance-based restricted shares. OPTIONS At March 31, 2006, the Company had 537,358 options outstanding under the Plan. Of these, 9,525 are unvested and will vest in the second quarter of 2006. The remaining unrecognized expense related to these options is $0.01 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $0.02 million of compensation expense related to its outstanding options. No awards were granted in 2006 or 2005. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to value options until 2004 at which time the Company changed to the use of the Binomial option pricing model. The Company issues new shares at the time of share option exercise (or share unit conversion). The following table summarizes the Company's option activity for the first three months of 2006:
AGGREGATE NUMBER WEIGHTED AVERAGE WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTRINSIC OF EXERCISE PRICE CONTRACTUAL TERM VALUE SHARES (PER COMMON SHARE) (IN YEARS) (IN 000'S) ------- ------------------ ---------------- ---------- Options outstanding at January 1, 2006 614,839 $29.73 Granted -- Exercised (75,081) $28.24 Canceled (2,400) $34.25 ------- Options outstanding at March 31, 2006 537,358 $29.92 2.2 $1,353 ======= Options vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 2006 537,358 $29.92 2.2 $1,353 ======= ------- Options exercisable at March 31, 2006 527,833 $29.84 2.0 $1,330 =======
9 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION, CONTINUED; The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.2 million. For options exercised during the first quarter of 2005, the aggregate intrinsic value is immaterial. PHANTOM AWARDS At March 31, 2006, the Company had 9,500 unvested phantom liability awards with an aggregate fair value of $0.3 million. The phantom awards pay cash bonuses per share equal to the amount of dividend paid per share of common stock. The awards vest (cash bonus is paid) in varying amounts until 2014. The remaining unrecognized expense related to these phantom liability awards is $0.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $0.05 million of compensation expense related to these phantom awards. No awards were granted, vested, exercised or forfeited during the first three month of 2006. The awards are remeasured at each reporting date. At March 31, 2006, the Company had 18,750 unvested phantom performance-based liability awards with an aggregate fair value of $0.7 million. See PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK for a discussion of the terms of vesting (cash bonus paid) for these phantom performance-based liability awards. DIRECTOR OPTION AWARDS The Company also has a 2004 Non-Employee Director Option Plan ("Director Plan") which authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000 options to non-employee directors. At March 31, 2006, the Company had 79,000 options awarded under the Director Plan and a successor plan. Of these, 12,500 are unvested of which 40% will vest in the second quarter of both 2006 and 2007, with the remaining 20% vesting in the second quarter of 2008. The remaining unrecognized expense related to these options is $0.04 million which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1 year. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $0.01 million of compensation expense related to these director options. The fair value of the options issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Binomial (lattice) option pricing model, with the following assumptions used for the grants for the period indicated:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------- 2006 2005 ------ ---- Estimated fair value per share of options granted during year: $ 3.59 N/A Assumptions: Annualized dividend yield 7.19% N/A Common stock price volatility 17.04% N/A Risk-free rate of return 4.68% N/A Expected option term (in years) 7.5 N/A

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company acquired one manufactured home community located in Oakland County, Michigan for a total purchase price of $7.8 million, with occupancy of approximately 95%. The transaction included the assumption of $4.5 million of debt. 11 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. NOTES AND OTHER RECEIVABLES: The following table sets forth certain information regarding notes and other receivables (amounts in thousands):
MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, 2006 2005 --------- ------------ Mortgage note receivable, with interest payable at a weighted average interest rate of 7.09% and 6.63% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, maturing in August 2008, collateralized by a manufactured home community. $13,532 $13,532 Installment loans on manufactured homes with interest payable monthly at a weighted average interest rate and maturity of 6.17% and 10 years, respectively. 19,680 19,688 Other receivables, net of allowance for losses of $0.3 million, at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. 7,781 7,914 ------- ------- $40,993 $41,134 ======= =======
Officer's notes, presented as a reduction to stockholders' equity in the balance sheet, are 10 year, LIBOR + 1.75% notes, with a minimum and maximum interest rate of 6% and 9%, respectively, collateralized by 352,206 shares of the Company's common stock and 127,794 OP Units with substantial personal recourse. The notes become due in three equal installments on each of December 2008, 2009 and 2010. Reduction in the principal balance of these notes was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 5. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE: Origen Financial, Inc. ("Origen") is a real estate investment trust in the business of originating, acquiring and servicing manufactured home loans. In October 2003, the Company purchased 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Origen for $50 million. The Company owns approximately 20% of Origen at March 31, 2006 and its investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Because both the Company and Origen are public companies, information about Origen's actual quarterly earnings may not be received prior to the Company's quarterly filing.

(1) Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize net operating income ("NOI") as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is derived from revenues (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes (determined in accordance with GAAP). NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income. Net income includes interest and depreciation and amortization which often have no effect on the market value of a property and therefore limit its use as a performance measure. In addition, such expenses are often incurred at a parent company level and therefore are not necessarily linked to the performance of a real estate asset. The Company believes that net operating income is helpful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key management tool when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and/or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs, and therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the Company overall. (2) Seasonal recreational vehicle revenue is included in Property Operations revenues and is approximately $4.8 million annually. This seasonal revenue is recognized approximately 60% in the first quarter, 5% in both the second and third quarters and 30% in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. 15 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (IN THOUSANDS): The Company has entered into four derivative contracts consisting of three interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate cap agreement. The Company's primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to cap the maximum interest rate on its variable rate borrowings. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The swap agreements have the effect of fixing interest rates relative to a portion of a collateralized term loan due to FNMA. One swap matures in July 2009, with an effective fixed rate of 4.84 percent. A second swap matures in July 2012, with an effective fixed rate of 5.28 percent. The third swap matures in July 2007, with an effective fixed rate of 3.88 percent. The third swap is effective as long as 90-day LIBOR is 7 percent or lower. The three swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a cap rate of 9.49 percent, a notional amount of $152.4 million and a termination date of April 03, 2006. Each of the Company's derivative contracts is based upon 90-day LIBOR. The Company has designated the first two swaps and the interest rate cap as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The changes in the value of these hedges are reflected in other comprehensive income/loss on the balance sheet. These three hedges were highly effective and had minimal effect on income. The third swap does not qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes and, accordingly, the entire change in valuation, whether positive or negative, is reflected as a component of interest expense. The valuation adjustment totals approximately $0.04 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. SFAS No. 133, the "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. The fair value of the instruments approximates an asset of $0.8 million and less than $0.1 million as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These valuation adjustments will only be realized if the Company terminates the swaps prior to maturity. This is not the intent of the Company and, therefore, the net of valuation adjustments through the various maturity dates will approximate zero. 16 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 10. DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES: During the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold two properties located in Florida comprised of 96 manufactured housing sites and 165 recreational vehicle sites for a combined sales price of $5.7 million. These transactions resulted in a $0.8 million gain. In accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" effective for financial statements issued for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, results of operations and gain/(loss) on sales of real estate for properties with identifiable cash flows sold subsequent to December 31, 2001 are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities were exercised or converted into common stock. The calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month period ending March 31, 2006 is based upon weighted average shares prior to dilution, as the effect of including potentially dilutive securities in the calculation during these periods would be anti-dilutive. The Company also has the following potentially convertible securities which, if converted, may impact dilution:

18 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 12. CONTINGENCIES: On April 9, 2003, T.J. Holdings, LLC ("TJ Holdings"), a member of Sun/Forest, LLC ("Sun/Forest") (which, in turn, owns an equity interest in SunChamp LLC), ("SunChamp"), filed a complaint against the Company, SunChamp, certain other affiliates of the Company and two directors of Sun Communities, Inc. in the Superior Court of Guilford County, North Carolina. The complaint alleges that the defendants wrongfully deprived the plaintiff of economic opportunities that they took for themselves in contravention of duties allegedly owed to the plaintiff and purports to claim damages of $13.0 million plus an unspecified amount for punitive damages. The Company believes the complaint and the claims threatened therein have no merit and will defend it vigorously. These proceedings were stayed by the Superior Court of Guilford County, North Carolina in 2004 pending final determination by the Circuit Court of Oakland County, Michigan as to whether the dispute should be submitted to arbitration and the conclusion of all appeals therefrom. On April 4, 2005, the Oakland County Circuit Court issued a final order compelling arbitration for certain claims brought in the North Carolina case but denying arbitration for certain other claims in the North Carolina case. Shortly thereafter, the Company appealed this decision with respect to the claims for which the court denied arbitration and such appeal is currently pending in the Michigan Court of Appeals. As previously disclosed, the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and a former controller received "Wells Notices" from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with a non-public inquiry regarding the Company. The inquiry by the SEC was commenced in January 2004 with a request for information and legal, accounting and other documentation generally regarding the Company's investment in SunChamp, the operation of SunChamp, the Company's accounting for SunChamp and other transactions related to SunChamp. The SEC Staff informed the Company that the major focus of the Staff's inquiry relates to the Company's accounting for the SunChamp investment during 2000, 2001 and 2002. As announced on February 27, 2006 the SEC accepted the Company's offer to resolve the SEC's inquiry regarding the Company's financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002, and entered the agreed-upon administrative Order. As disclosed in the Company's press release dated February 13, 2006, the Order requires that the Company cease and desist from violations of certain non intent-based provisions of the federal securities laws, without admitting or denying any such violations. The Order further requires that the Company employ an independent consultant to evaluate internal controls and financial reporting procedures as they relate to the Company's accounting for its ownership interest in SunChamp. The Order does not impose any monetary penalties, nor do the terms of the Order require the Company to restate any of its prior financial statements. The Order relates only to the Company and does not address any actions relating to the three Company employees that received Wells Notices, as disclosed in the Company's press releases dated July 19, 2005, and September 14, 2005. On February 27, 2006, the SEC filed a civil action against the three employees in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan alleging various claims generally consistent with the SEC's findings set forth in the Order. The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. All such proceedings, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition. 19 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Capitalized terms are used as defined elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company had identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. Details regarding the Company's significant accounting policies are described fully in the Company's 2005 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies that impacted the Company's financial condition or results of operations except for the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123 ("Statement 123"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 using the "modified prospective" method. Therefore, prior period statements have not been restated. Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new-share based awards, expense is also recognized to reflect the remaining service period of awards that had been included in pro-forma disclosures in prior periods. With the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company is required to record the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as an expense. In order to determine the fair value of stock options on the grant date, the Company applies the Binomial (lattice) option-pricing model. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. While the risk-free rate and dividend yield are less subjective assumptions, typically based on factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock-price volatility and option life assumptions require a greater level of judgment which make them critical accounting estimates. The Company uses an expected stock-price volatility assumption that is based on historical implied volatilities of the underlying stock which is obtained from public data sources. With regard to the weighted-average option life assumption, the Company considers the exercise behavior of past grants and models the pattern of aggregate exercises. Patterns are determined on specific criteria of the aggregate pool of optionees. The Company uses the resources of an outside consultant for valuing its options. An award of 7,500 options was made to the Company's non-employee directors during the first quarter of 2006. Performance-based awards vest based upon the achievement of certain performance conditions and the Company makes its best estimate as to the ultimate achievement of such performance conditions. 20 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 For the three months ended March 31, 2006, income from operations before minority interest decreased by $2.9 million from $1.6 million to a loss of $(1.3) million, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease was due to increased expenses of $6.9 million, offset by increased revenues of $3.6 million and increased equity income from affiliate of $0.4 million as described in more detail below. Income from rental property increased by $2.7 million from $45.4 million to $48.1 million, or 5.9 percent, due to acquisitions ($0.8 million) and rent increases and other community revenues ($1.9 million). Revenues from home sales decreased by $0.4 million from $3.7 million to $3.3 million, or 10.8 percent primarily due to the change in the number of new versus pre-owned homes sold and the overall decrease in the number of homes sold during the first quarter of 2006 (71 sales) as compared to the first quarter of 2005 (111 sales). Rental home revenue increased by $1.8 million from $1.5 million to $3.3 million due to increases in the average rental rate per home and the number of tenants in the Company's rental program. Interest income decreased by $0.8 million from $1.6 million to $0.8 million, or 50.0 percent, due primarily to a reduction in the amount of short-term investments and the payoff of interest earning notes and receivables by the borrowers. Other income increased by $0.7 million from a loss of $(0.2) million to income of $0.5 million due primarily to an increase in brokerage commissions of $0.1 million, a $0.2 million non-refundable option payment received and a $0.5 million decrease in unsuccessful acquisition expenditures. Property operating and maintenance expenses increased by $0.4 million from $11.0 million to $11.4 million, or 3.6 percent. The increase was due to property acquisitions ($0.3 million) and other expenses ($0.1 million). Rental home operating and maintenance expense increased by $1.1 million from $1.5 million to $2.6 million, or 73.3 percent due primarily to an increase in the number of tenants in the Company's rental program. General and administrative expenses for rental property increased by $1.6 million from $3.5 million to $5.1 million, or 45.7 percent, due to expenditures related to a review of the Company's strategic alternatives, the accrual of annual performance based incentives, an increase in the amount of share-based compensation expense related to a significant vesting of shares and increased Michigan taxes. Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.0 million from $13.0 million to $15.0 million, or 15.4 percent, due primarily to an increase in the total rental home portfolio. Interest expense increased by $1.1 million from $13.6 million to $14.7 million, or 8.1 percent, primarily due to increased debt levels and increased interest rates on variable rate debt. The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle is a result of the recognition of expected forfeitures on restricted stock grants that are not vested at January 1, 2006. 21 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

(3) Occupancy % and weighted average rent relates to manufactured housing sites, excluding recreational vehicle sites. 22 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED: On a same property basis, property net operating income increased by $1.7 million from $31.0 million to $32.7 million, or 5.4 percent. Income from rental property increased by $1.7 million from $43.4 million to $45.1 million, or 3.9 percent, due primarily to increases in rents including water and property tax pass through. Property operating expenses increased by $0.02 million from $12.33 million to $12.35 million, or 0.2 percent, due primarily to increases in real estate taxes. RENTAL PROGRAM The following table reflects additional information regarding the Company's rental program for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ---------------------------- 2006 2005 -------- ------- (in thousands except for *) Rental home revenue $ 3,329 $ 1,517 Site rent included in Income from rental property 4,186 2,207 -------- ------- Rental program revenue 7,515 3,724 Expenses Payroll and commissions 475 427 Repairs and refurbishment 957 541 Taxes and insurance 594 281 Other 587 236 -------- ------- Rental program operating and maintenance 2,613 1,485 -------- ------- Net operating income(1) $ 4,902 $ 2,239 ======== ======= Number of occupied rentals, end of period* 4,215 2,536 Cost of occupied rental homes $124,007 $70,033 Weighted average monthly rental rate* $ 653 $ 594
(1) See Note (1) following Same Property Information. Net operating income from the rental program increased $2.7 million from $2.2 million to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of a $3.8 million increase in revenue offset by a $1.1 million increase in expenses. Revenues increased due to an increase in the weighted average monthly rental rate and an increase in the number of leased rental homes. Expenses were also impacted by the increase in the number of leased rental homes. 23 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to the Company's stockholders and the unitholders of the Operating Partnership, capital improvements of properties, the purchase of new and pre-owned homes, property acquisitions, development and expansion of properties, and debt repayment. The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through its working capital provided by operating activities, its $115.0 million line of credit and its $40.0 million floor plan. The Company considers these resources to be adequate to meet all operating requirements, including recurring capital improvements, routinely amortizing debt and other normally recurring expenditures of a capital nature, pay dividends to its stockholders to maintain qualification as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code and make distributions to the Operating Partnership's unitholders. The Company has invested approximately $0.7 million in its development communities consisting primarily of costs necessary to complete home site improvements such as driveways, sidewalks, piers, pads and runners and anticipates investing an additional $1.0 - $1.5 million for such costs during the remainder of 2006. The Company expects to finance these investments by using net cash flows provided by operating activities and by drawing upon its line of credit. The Company has invested $7.8 million in the acquisition of properties during 2006. Although substantial acquisitions are not anticipated prior to year end, the Company continuously seeks acquisition opportunities that meet the Company's criteria for acquisition. Should such investment opportunities arise the Company will finance the acquisitions though the temporary use of its line of credit until permanent secured financing can be arranged, through the assumption of existing debt on the properties or the issuance of certain equity securities. The Company has also invested approximately $13.2 million during the first quarter of 2006 in homes primarily intended for its rental program. Expenditures for the reminder of 2006 will be dependent upon the condition of the markets for repossessions and new home sales as well as rental homes. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.3 million from $5.9 million at December 31, 2005 to $5.6 million at March 31, 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $7.1 million to $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The Company's net cash flows provided by operating activities may be adversely impacted by, among other things: (a) the market and economic conditions in the Company's current markets generally, and specifically in metropolitan areas of the Company's current markets; (b) lower occupancy and rental rates of the Company's properties (the "Properties"); (c) increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities, that cannot be passed on to the Company's tenants; and (d) decreased sales of manufactured homes. See "Risk Factors " in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. 24 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CONTINUED: The Company anticipates meeting its long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions, and Operating Partnership unit redemptions through the collateralization of its properties. From time to time, the Company may also issue shares of its capital stock, issue equity units in the Operating Partnership or sell selected assets. The ability of the Company to finance its long-term liquidity requirements in such manner will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the manufactured housing community industry at the time, including the availability and cost of mortgage debt, the financial condition of the Company, the operating history of the Properties, the state of the debt and equity markets, and the general national, regional and local economic conditions. See "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. If the Company is unable obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely impacted. At March 31, 2006, the Company's debt to total market capitalization approximated 61.4 percent (assuming conversion of all Common OP Units to shares of common stock). The debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 7.0 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.4 percent. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 included recurring capital expenditures of $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $28.4 million to $19.3 million used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $9.1 million provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was due to a $39.9 million decrease in net proceeds from sale of short-term investments and a $0.8 million decrease in notes receivable and officers' notes, net, offset by decreased investment in rental property of $12.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $75.1 million to $3.4 million provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $71.7 million used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a $50.0 million decrease in payments to retire Perpetual Preferred Operating Partnership Units, a $2.4 million reduction in funds used to purchase Company stock, a $3.6 million reduction in payments made to redeem notes payable, an increase of proceeds from issuance of stock and OP units net and option exercises of $2.4 million, and an increase of $17.0 million in borrowings on a line of credit, offset by an increase in distributions of $0.2 million and an increase in payments for deferred financing costs of $0.1 million. 25 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUPPLEMENTAL MEASURE: Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from net income. Management believes that the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of net income including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as an adjunct to net income and not as an alternative to net income. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is a supplemental measure of performance that does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO only provides investors with an additional performance measure. Other REITS may use different methods for calculating FFO and, accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. The following table reconciles net income to FFO and calculates both basic and diluted FFO per share for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands): 26 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2.

(1) The Company entered into three interest rate swaps and an interest rate cap agreement. The valuation adjustment reflects the theoretical noncash profit and loss were those hedging transactions terminated at the balance sheet date. As the Company has no expectation of terminating the transactions prior to maturity, the net of these noncash valuation adjustments will be zero at the various maturities. As any imperfection related to hedging correlation in these swaps is reflected currently in cash as interest, the valuation adjustments reflect volatility that would distort the comparative measurement of FFO and on a net basis approximate zero. Accordingly, the valuation adjustments are excluded from FFO. The valuation adjustment is included in interest expense. 27 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 2.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining prudent amounts of leverage, minimizing capital costs and interest expense while continuously evaluating all available debt and equity resources and following established risk management policies and procedures, which include the periodic use of derivatives. The Company's primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company generally employs derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company's variable rate debt totals $188.2 million and $104.7 million as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which bears interest at various Prime and LIBOR/DMBS rates. If Prime or LIBOR/DMBS increased or decreased by 1.00 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company believes its interest expense would have increased or decreased by approximately $1.8 million and $1.1 million based on the $182.1 million and $107.2 million average balance outstanding under the Company's variable rate debt facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, the Company had $13.5 million and $14.7 million LIBOR based variable rate mortgage and other notes receivables as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. If LIBOR increased or decreased by 1.0 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company believes interest income would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million based on the $13.5 million and $14.7 million average balance outstanding on all variable rate notes receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company has entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate cap agreement. One of the swap agreements fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings at 4.84 percent through July 2009, another of the swap agreements fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings at 5.28 percent through July 2012 and the third swap agreement, which is only effective for so long as 90-day LIBOR is 7 percent or less, fixes $25 million of variable rate borrowings at 3.88 percent through July 2007. The interest rate cap agreement has a cap rate of 9.49 percent, a notional amount of $152.4 million and a termination date of April 3, 2006. Each of the Company's derivative contracts is based upon 90-day LIBOR. 29 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Gary A. Shiffman, and Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey P. Jorissen, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 30 SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.

With respect to any New Manufactured Home to be acquired from a Manufacturer and otherwise to constitute a New Manufactured Home Held for Sale, as identified in a writing to TFC, SHS may request TFC to, and TFC will (subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein and subject to Section 24 hereof), make a New Manufactured Home Sale Advance hereunder to or for the benefit of SHS, the amount of which shall not exceed 100% of the Manufacturer's original invoice price of such New Manufactured Home (net of all rebates, discounts, credits and volume incentive payments with respect thereto, but excluding from any such rebates, discounts, credits and volume incentive payments any advertising allowances not in excess of 5% of the relevant invoiced amount) (the original invoice price of such New Manufactured Home net of such rebates, discounts, credits and volume incentive payments, as provided above, is referred to herein as such New Manufactured Home's "NET INVOICE PRICE"). Each such New Manufactured Home shall be new, completed and otherwise be ready to be held for sale by SHS at one of the Sun MH Communities. SHS understands and agrees that all New Manufactured Homes to be acquired from a Manufacturer shall be deemed to be New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale. SHS understands and agrees that no New Manufactured Home Sale Advance will be made to SHS in respect of any New Manufactured Home Held for Sale if any of the conditions for the making of such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance set forth in Sections 5, 7 or 9 hereof shall have not been satisfied or any Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or would exist immediately after the making of such Advance. No New Manufactured Home Sale Advances shall in any case be made after March 1, 2009 and only one New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance shall be made with respect to any New Manufactured Home Held for Sale. With respect to one or more New Manufactured Homes constituting New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale, as identified in a writing to TFC, owned by SHS and all of whose purchase prices have been previously paid in full by SHS, SHS may request TFC to, and TFC will (subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein), make a New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance hereunder in respect thereof to or for the benefit of SHS, the amount of which shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Net Invoice Prices of all such New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale or (B) the remainder of $40,000,000 minus the aggregate outstanding principal of all other Advances. Each of such New Manufactured Homes shall be new, completed and otherwise already being held for sale by SHS at one of the Sun MH Communities. SHS understands and agrees that no New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance will be made if any of the conditions for the making of such Advance set forth in Sections 5, 7 or 9 hereof shall have not been satisfied or if Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately before or would exist immediately after the making of such Advance. No New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advances shall in any case be made after March 1, 2009 and only one New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance shall be made with respect to any New Manufactured Home Held for Sale. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Net Invoice Prices of all New Manufactured Home Held for Sale then owned and in the possession of SHS and in respect of which a New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance has been made or (B) the remainder of $40,000,000 minus the aggregate outstanding principal of all Rented Manufactured Home Advances and Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances, then SHS shall pay such excess to TFC promptly upon written demand therefor (the lesser of subclause (a) and (b) above is referred to herein as the "NEW BORROWING BASE") and such payment shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances.

SHS represents and warrants (such representations and warranties being current and continuing representations and warranties with respect to MH Consumer Lease Agreements in existence on the date hereof with respect to Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral and being applicable to 10 prospective MH Consumer Lease Agreements in respect of Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral upon SHS's entering into the same and thereafter on a continuing basis) that (A) such leasing is on an arm's-length basis to MH Consumer Lessees pursuant to MH Consumer Lease Agreements (the forms of which have been delivered to TFC; SHS agrees that such forms and such MH Consumer Lease Agreements will not be materially changed, altered or modified by SHS without TFC's prior written consent), (B) such MH Consumer Lease Agreements (I) embody the entire agreement of the parties thereto relative to the subject matter thereof, (II) comply with all applicable governmental laws and regulations and all necessary consumer law disclosures have been made with respect thereto, (III) are enforceable against the applicable MH Consumer Lessees in accordance with their respective terms, and (IV) do not contain any purchase or renewal options or grant any rights to the MH Consumer Lessee thereunder (other than the right to lease the Rented Manufactured Home thereunder on the terms thereof and other than pursuant to any MH Consumer Lessee Purchase Option contained therein), except as otherwise approved in writing by TFC; (C) the MH Rental Homesites on which such Rented Manufactured Homes are located are subleased by such MH Consumer Lessees from SHS pursuant to MH Consumer Lease Agreements, and (D) neither the MH Community Homesite Lessors nor any mortgagee nor secured party thereof have any claim on, lien or security interest in, or right to obtain the Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral or any MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments with respect thereto (provided, however, that, pursuant to the MH Servicing Agreements, the application of rental payments from MH Consumer Lessees of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral to the payment of MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments under their respective MH Consumer Lease Agreements shall be junior and subordinate to the application of such rental payments to the payment of homesite rent in respect of such Rented Manufactured Homes to the applicable MH Community Homesite Lessors under their respective MH SHS Homesite Leases and the payment to or reimbursement of the MH Community Homesite Lessors for their respective costs and expenses in providing servicing to SHS under their respective MH Servicing Agreements for such Rented Manufactured Homes). Upon receipt of a written request of TFC, SHS will execute and deliver to TFC an assignment, in form and content acceptable to TFC as well as proper for recordation in the real estate records of each applicable county or municipality in which a Sun MH Community is located, of all of the MH Consumer Lease Agreements with respect to Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral and all MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments in respect thereof (subject to the priority of application of rental payments as provided for in the applicable MH Servicing Agreements) as additional security for the obligations hereunder. SHS will comply with all of its warranties and other obligations under each MH Consumer Lease Agreement in respect of a Rented Manufactured Home constituting Collateral and will report in writing to TFC at such time or times as TFC may request, the location of such Rented Manufactured Homes, the name and address of each MH Consumer Lessee under each such MH Consumer Lease Agreement, the MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments due thereunder on a monthly basis, the MH Community Homesite Lessor responsible for collecting such Payments and such other information as TFC may reasonably request; and upon the request of TFC, deliver all originals of each such MH Consumer Lease Agreement in the possession of SHS to TFC. Neither the leasing of any Manufactured Home constituting Collateral nor any MH Consumer Lease Agreement with respect thereto shall relieve SHS of any of its obligations to TFC under this Agreement, and the assignment of and security interest granted herein shall not be construed as authorizing SHS to do anything with any Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral other than to lease or sell the same in accordance with the provisions hereof. SHS will comply with all of its warranties and other obligations under each MH SHS Homesite Lease pertaining to a MH Rental Homesite on which a Rented Manufactured Home constituting Collateral is located. To the extent that SHS is required to remove a Rented Manufactured Home constituting Collateral from a MH Rental Homesite under the terms and conditions of the applicable MH SHS Homesite Lease or the applicable MH Servicing Agreement, SHS shall inform TFC of the relocation of such Rented Manufactured Home promptly after effecting the same; nothing in this sentence shall relieve SHS of its obligations under Section 23 hereof. SHS agrees to make available to TFC, upon its request, all rent roll and other related data affecting any Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral and made available by SHS to the MH Community 11 Homesite Lessors under their respective MH Servicing Agreements. SHS will deliver to TFC upon request therefor certified copies of all such MH Servicing Agreements and all amendments or modifications thereto. SHS agrees that TFC is not by this Agreement or otherwise assuming any of the obligations of SHS under any MH Consumer Lease Agreement or any MH SHS Homesite Lease. Subject to applicable law, SHS hereby grants to TFC the right (in SHS's name or otherwise, and, in any case, without affecting SHS's obligations to TFC hereunder) to take such actions or institute such proceedings as TFC may deem necessary or desirable to protect TFC's interests in Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral and the MH Consumer Lease Agreements in respect thereof and, during the existence of any Default or Event of Default of which SHS shall have been given written notice by TFC, to notify each applicable MH Community Homesite Lessor to collect MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments in respect thereof for the benefit of, and to remit the same to, TFC (subject to the priority of application of rental payments from such MH Consumer Lease Agreements to rent for the MH Rental Homesites on which such Rented Manufactured Homes are located and for costs and expenses of the applicable MH Community Homesite Lessor in respect of such Rented Manufactured Homes, all as provided for in the applicable MH Servicing Agreement). Except during the existence of a Default or Event of Default of which SHS shall have been given written notice by TFC, the MH Community Homesite Leassors under their respective MH Servicing Agreements shall have the right to accept collections on the aforesaid MH Consumer Lease Agreements on behalf and for the benefit of SHS; repossess, substitute or consent to the surrender of the aforesaid Rented Manufactured Homes; and/or modify the terms of the aforesaid MH Consumer Lease Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, except during the existence of a Default or Event of Default of which SHS shall have been given written notice by TFC, SHS shall have the right to retain all MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments in respect of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral hereunder collected by any MH Community Homesite Lessor on its behalf and paid to SHS or paid to a Guarantor for the benefit of SHS. After TFC shall have informed SHS and/or any MH Consumer Homesite Lessor of the existence of a Default or Event of Default and for so long thereafter as the same shall exist, SHS shall undertake (A) that no MH Communty Homesite Lessor will, without the prior written consent of TFC, pay MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments in respect of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral to SHS or any Guarantor or other affiliate of SHS but shall instead hold the same in trust for TFC and pay the same to TFC (or pursuant to its instructions) on the next Billing Statement Payment Date or on such other date as TFC may elect in its sole discretion (and, if SHS shall have obtained such payments or credits for the same from any Guarantor, SHS shall pay over the same to TFC promptly upon demand therefor); (B) that neither it nor any MH Communty Homesite Lessor will, without the prior written consent of TFC, repossess, substitute or consent to the surrender of any Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral; and/or (C) that neither it nor any MH Communty Homesite Lessor will, without the prior written consent of TFC, modify the terms of any MH Consumer Lease Agreements in respect of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral hereunder. SHS agrees to obtain a written acknowledgement from each MH Community Homesite Lessor under its respective MH Servicing Agreements that it is to pay to TFC (at its direction) all MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments in respect of MH Consumer Leases of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral collected by it under its respective MH Servicing Agreement after TFC shall have informed SHS and such MH Community Homesite Lessor of the existence of a Default or Event of Default and for so long thereafter as the same shall exist (the duration of any such Default or Event of Default to be confirmed by TFC and each such MH Community Homesite Lessor is hereby authorized to rely on any such confirmations issued by TFC with respect thereto and SHS hereby irrevocably instructs each such MH Community Homesite Lessor to pay all of such MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments directly to TFC in accordance with such written instructions as TFC may communicate to such MH Community Homesite Lessor). TFC shall apply all such MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments received by it from or on behalf of SHS hereunder as follows: (A) first, to pay interest, fees and other finance charges of SHS then due and payable hereunder, (B) second, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Advances of SHS (in the inverse order of their respective maturities), (C) third, to pay any other obligations or indebtedness of SHS hereunder and (D) fourth, distribute the balance to SHS. SHS agrees, upon written request of TFC after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify, or cause each applicable MH Community Homesite 12 Lessor under its respective MH Servicing Agreement to notify, the MH Consumer Lessees and all other obligors under the aforesaid MH Consumer Lease Agreements of the interest of TFC therein. SHS agrees to cause each MH Community Homesite Lessor to perform its undertakings under its respective MH Servicing Agreement or to perform the same itself and to otherwise perform its undertakings and obligations thereunder. 11.

SHS shall also have the right to sell any New Manufactured Home constituting Collateral that is a New Manufactured Home Held for Sale or a Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale to any third-party in the ordinary course of its business, provided that in any such case: (A) no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder and, after giving effect to such sale, no Default or Event of Default would exist hereunder, (B) any such sale is on an arm's-length basis, and (C) SHS shall hold all of the proceeds of any such sale in trust for, and shall promptly remit such proceeds and such other of its monies as may be necessary to pay the unpaid principal amount of the New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance or Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance, as the case may be, attributable to such New Manufactured Home Held for Sale or Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale together with any payments then required under Section 1 above with respect to the New Borrowing Base or Section 3 above with respect to the Used Borrowing Base to TFC as provided for in Part 5 of the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto on the Disposition Payment Date in respect of such sale, and the security interest provided for herein in such proceeds shall continue in full force and effect in favor of TFC until all such payments are made; any such proceeds in excess of the unpaid principal balance of such New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance or Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance, as the case may be, and any borrowing base payment required in connection therewith shall be retained by SHS free and clear of any lien or security interest of TFC hereunder after SHS makes the payments required by clause (c) above and assuming that no Default or Event of Default then exists. Any New Manufactured Home Held for Sale constituting Collateral or Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale constituting Collateral sold by SHS in compliance with this paragraph shall be deemed released from the security interest of TFC therein. SHS shall also have the right to sell any Rented Manufactured Home constituting Collateral to any MH Consumer Lessee under a MH Consumer Lease Agreement pursuant to a MH Consumer Lessee Purchase Option contained in such MH Consumer Lease Agreement, provided that in any such case: (I) any such sale is on an arm's-length basis in accordance with the terms of such MH Consumer Lessee Purchase Option, and (II) SHS shall hold all of the proceeds of any such sale in trust for, and shall use such proceeds and such other of its monies as may be necessary to promptly remit the unpaid principal amount of the Rented Manufactured Home Advance attributable to such Rented Manufactured Home together with any payments then required under Sections 2 or 4 above with respect to the Rental Borrowing Base to TFC as provided for in Part 5 of the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto on the Disposition Payment Date in respect of such sale and the security interest provided for herein in such proceeds shall continue in full force and effect in favor of TFC until all such payments are made; any such proceeds in excess of the unpaid principal balance of such Rented Manufactured Home Advance and any required Rental Borrowing Base payment with respect thereto shall be retained by SHS free and clear of any lien or security interest of TFC hereunder after SHS makes the payments required by clause (ii) above unless a Default or Event of Default shall then exist, in which case such excess proceeds shall be paid to TFC for application to the obligations hereunder as provided for in Section 26 hereof. Any Rented Manufactured Home constituting Collateral sold by SHS in compliance with this paragraph shall be deemed released from the security interest of TFC therein. Except as provided above in this paragraph or except if such Rented Manufactured Home shall be reclassified as a New Manufactured Home Held for Sale or a Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale, as the case may be, SHS shall not sell any Rented Manufactured Home constituting Collateral without the prior written consent of TFC. 12. PAYMENTS GENERALLY; CURTAILMENTS; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS; DISPOSITION PAYMENT DATES. SHS promises to pay to TFC the outstanding principal amount of each New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance made hereunder, together with interest and fees and finance charges in respect thereof, in each case 13 pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. SHS promises to pay to TFC the outstanding principal amount of each Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance made hereunder, together with interest and fees and finance charges in respect thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. SHS promises to pay to TFC the outstanding principal amount of each Rented Manufactured Home Advance made hereunder, together with interest and fees and finance charges in respect thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The obligations of SHS owing hereunder to TFC in respect of New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances, Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances and Rented Manufactured Home Advances shall be evidenced by the separate manual or data processing records maintained by TFC and, absent manifest error, shall be binding on SHS. With respect to each New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance, SHS agrees that it shall pay to TFC principal curtailments on such date or dates such that, if each New Manufactured Home Held for Sale related to such New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance were repurchased by the Manufacturer thereof on such date or dates under and in accordance with the terms of the repurchase agreement between TFC and such Manufacturer, TFC would recover between the repurchase price paid by such Manufacturer and the curtailments paid by SHS under this paragraph in respect of such New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance the full amount of such New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance (for example, if such repurchase agreement provided that 100% of a New Manufactured Home Sale Advance would be recoverable for the first six months after sale and then 50% would be recoverable for the next six months, a curtailment of 50% of such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance would be due and payable 180 days after the Booking Date of such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance; for example, if a repurchase agreement applicable to New Manufactured Home Held for Sale that supports a New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance provides that 100% of the portion of such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance allocable to such New Manufactured Home Held for Sale (based on the Net Invoice Price of the affected New Manufactured Home Held for Sale in relationship to the total Net Invoice Prices of all Manufactured Homes Held for Sale supporting such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance) would be recoverable for the first six months after sale and then 60% would be recoverable for the next six months, a curtailment of 40% of such allocable share of such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance would be due and payable 180 days after the date of the extension of such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance). TFC shall inform SHS in each billing statement issued under Section 14 hereof of the amount of any such curtailments then due and payable on the next Billing Statement Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt and unless the outstanding principal balance of a New Manufactured Home Sale Advance shall have been paid earlier in connection with the sale of the New Manufactured Home Held for Sale related to such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance, as provided for in Section 11 hereof, or in connection with the destruction or damage to such New Manufactured Home Held for Sale, as provided in below in this Section 12, or in connection with a New Borrowing Base payment as provided in Section 1 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance shall mature and be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges with respect thereto) on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date on which the Manufacturer in respect of the New Manufactured Home Held for Sale related to such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance under the repurchase agreement between it and TFC is no longer obligated to repurchase such New Manufactured Home Held for Sale under any circumstances (for example, under the aforesaid example with respect to a New Manufactured Home Sale Advance, if the repurchase agreement in respect of the New Manufactured Home Held for Sale related to such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance provided that no further repurchases are permitted after twelve months from the purchase date of such New Manufactured Home Held for Sale, such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance would be due and payable one year after its Booking Date or, if earlier, the Maturity Date). If no repurchase agreement shall exist with respect to any New Manufactured Home Sale Advance or the terms thereof do not permit SHS and TFC to determine the amounts of any curtailments or the maturity date of such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance, then such New Manufactured Home Sale Advance shall have no curtailments and shall mature and be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges with respect thereto) on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first anniversary of the Booking Date in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt and unless the outstanding 14 principal balance of a New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance shall have been paid earlier in connection with the sale of the New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale related to such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance, as provided for in Section 11 hereof, or in connection with the destruction or damage to such New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale, as provided in below in this Section 12, or in connection with a New Borrowing Base payment as provided in Section 1 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance shall mature and be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges with respect thereto) on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date on which any Manufacturer in respect of the New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale related to such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance under the repurchase agreement between it and TFC is no longer obligated to repurchase any one or more of such New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale under any circumstances (for example, under the aforesaid example with respect to a New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance, if any repurchase agreement in respect of a New Manufactured Home Held for Sale supporting such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance provided that no further repurchase is permitted after twelve months from the purchase date of such New Manufactured Home Held for Sale, an allocable amount of such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance (based on the Net Invoice Price of the affected New Manufactured Home Held for Sale in relationship to the total Net Invoice Prices of all Manufactured Homes Held for Sale supporting such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance) would be due and payable on such 12th month date or, if earlier, the Maturity Date). If no repurchase agreement shall exist with respect to any New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance or the terms of any repurchase agreement with respect thereto do not permit SHS and TFC to determine the amounts of any curtailments or the maturity date of such New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance, then such New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance shall have no curtailments and shall mature and be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges with respect thereto) on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first anniversary of the date of the extension thereof to SHS. With respect to each Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance obtained by SHS hereunder, no principal curtailments shall be due and payable. Unless paid earlier in connection with the sale of the Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale related to a Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance, as provided for in Section 11 hereof, or in connection with the destruction or damage to such Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale, as provided below in this Section 12, or in connection with a Used Borrowing Base payment as provided in Section 3 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of such Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance shall mature and be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges with respect thereto) on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first anniversary date of the extension of such Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance to SHS. With respect to each Rented Manufactured Home Advance obtained by SHS hereunder, principal curtailments shall be due and payable as follows: on each anniversary date of the extension of such Rented Manufactured Home Advance an amount equal to the result of "A" divided by "B," where "A" equals the original principal amount of such Rented Manufactured Home Advance and "B" equals the number of years (rounded up to the nearest whole number if the fractional portion of such result equals or exceeds 0.50 and otherwise rounded down to the nearest whole number) between the date on which such Rented Manufactured Home Advance was made and the date which is the tenth anniversary of the original invoice from the Manufacturer in respect of the Rented Manufactured Home related to such Rented Manufactured Home Advance. Unless paid earlier in connection with the sale of the Rented Manufactured Home related to a Rented Manufactured Home Advance, as provided for in Section 11 hereof, or in connection with the destruction or damage to such Rented Manufactured Home, as provided below in this Section 12, or in connection with a Rental Borrowing Base payment as provided in Sections 2 or 4 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of such Rented Manufactured Home Advance shall mature and be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges with respect thereto) on the earlier of (A) the date which is the tenth anniversary of the original invoice from the Manufacturer in respect of such Rented Manufactured Home and (B) the Maturity Date. 15 With respect to any sale of a Manufactured Home constituting Collateral, SHS will pay TFC the payments required by Section 11 hereof on the Disposition Payment Date with respect thereto. With respect to any lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged Manufactured Home constituting Collateral, SHS will pay TFC the payments required by Section 21 or Section 23 hereof on the date or dates provided for therein. SHS will: (AA) pay TFC as provided for herein even if any Manufactured Home financed hereunder or otherwise part of the Collateral hereof is defective or fails to conform to any warranties extended by any third party; (BB) not assert against TFC any claim or defense SHS has against any third party; and (CC) indemnify and hold TFC harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any MH Consumer Lessee under any MH Consumer Lease Agreement or any buyer of any Manufactured Home financed hereunder or otherwise constituting a part of the Collateral but excluding, in any case, any such claim or defense that (YY) was directly caused by action taken by TFC or (ZZ) arose after TFC took possession of the applicable Manufactured Home except if such claim or defense had its origins prior to TFC's taking possession and/or did not arise from any action actually taken by TFC. Except as provided on the Maturity Date or as otherwise expressly provided for herein, all curtailments of Advances to be made in the ordinary course as provided above shall be due and payable on a Billing Statement Payment Date as provided for in Section 14 hereof. SHS will send all payments due hereunder to TFC as provided for in Part 5 on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures. The proceeds of any sale permitted hereunder of any Manufactured Home constituting Collateral, any insurance proceeds in respect of any Manufactured Home constituting Collateral that is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, and all MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments in respect of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral hereunder received by SHS or any MH Community Homesite Lessor, as agent of SHS under any MH Servicing Agreement, will be held by SHS or such MH Community Homesite Lessor, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of TFC, for application as provided in this Agreement, to the extent that such proceeds, insurance proceeds or MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments are required to be paid to TFC pursuant to the terms hereof. 13. CALCULATION OF CHARGES AND FEES. SHS will pay finance charges to TFC on the principal amount of the New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder which have been made by TFC to or for the benefit of SHS at the following rates: (A) with respect to each New Manufactured Home Sale Advance that has been outstanding 720 days or less from the Booking Date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect, (B) with respect to each New Manufactured Home Sale Advance that has been outstanding for more than 720 days from the Booking Date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.50%, (C) with respect to each New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance that has been outstanding 720 days or less from the funding date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect, and (D) with respect to each New Manufactured Home Bulk Sale Advance that has been outstanding for more than 720 days from the funding date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.50%. Interest on New Manufactured Homes Held for Sale shall commence to accrue on the applicable Booking Dates in respect thereof. SHS will pay finance charges to TFC on the principal amount of the Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder which have been made by TFC to or for the benefit of SHS at the following rates: (I) with respect to each Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance that has been outstanding 360 days or less from the funding date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 0.50%, and (II) with respect to each Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance that has been outstanding for more than 360 days from the funding date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.50%. 16 SHS will pay finance charges to TFC on the principal amount of the Rented Manufactured Home Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder which have been made by TFC to or for the benefit of SHS at the following rates: (A) with respect to each Rented Manufactured Home Advance that has been outstanding 360 days or less from the funding date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 0.50%, and (B) with respect to each Rented Manufactured Home Advance that has been outstanding for more than 360 days from the funding date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.50%. Interest shall accrue on any past due principal, interest or other payment required to be paid hereunder (including, without limitation, amounts whose payment has been accelerated pursuant to Section 25 hereof) on and after the due date thereof at a per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.50%. The finance charges based on the rates set forth above attributable to any Advance will be computed based on the actual number of days such Advance is outstanding and a year of 360 days. SHS will also pay to TFC (AA) 10% of the amount of each check (not to exceed $500 per check) returned unpaid for insufficient funds (an "NSF CHECK") (such payment covers TFC's estimated administrative costs in respect of such NSF check; it does not waive the Default or Event of Default caused by the NSF check), (BB) a $25 fee for each Used Manufactured Home Held For Sale supporting a Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advance or otherwise included in the Used Sales Borrowing Base (such fee to be paid only once when such Used Manufactured Home held for Sale first became part of the Collateral) and (CC) a $25 fee for each Rented Manufactured Home supporting a Rented Manufactured Home Advance or otherwise included in the Rental Borrowing Base (such fee to be paid only once when such Rented Manufactured Home first became part of the Collateral). The foregoing fees in clauses (aa), (bb) and (cc) shall be due and payable on the first Billing Statement Payment Date occurring after the event triggering the same shall have occurred. SHS agrees to pay to TFC an unused credit line fee of 0.25% per annum on the average unused amount of the $40,000,000 credit line hereunder determined for each month (or portion thereof) falling during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on and including the Maturity Date. The "average unused amount of the $40,000,000 credit line provided for hereunder" shall be determined for any month (or portion thereof) by aggregating the unused amount of such facility for each day during such month (or portion thereof) and dividing such aggregated amount by the number of days in such month (or portion thereof). Such unused credit facility fee shall be calculated by using the number of days in such month (or portion thereof) and a year of 360 days and shall be payable in arrears on each Billing Statement Payment Date falling immediately after the month in respect of which such fee was calculated. It is the intention of the parties hereto that no Advances shall be made hereunder after the Maturity Date and that all Advances, financing charges, fees and other obligations outstanding hereunder shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence or as otherwise expressly provided for herein, all financing charges and fees provided for in this Section 13 shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on a Billing Statement Payment Date as provided for in Section 14 hereof. SHS acknowledges that TFC intends to strictly conform to the applicable usury laws governing this Agreement. Regardless of any provision contained herein or in any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith, TFC shall not be deemed to have contracted for, charged or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on this Agreement (whether termed interest, finance charges or maturity fees herein or deemed to be interest by judicial determination or operation of law), any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and, if TFC receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest will be applied first to the reduction of the unpaid principal balances of Advances under this Agreement, and, second, any remaining excess will be paid to SHS. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, SHS and TFC shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (AA) 17 characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments, finance charges or maturity fees hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest; and (BB) spread the total amount of finance charges and maturity fees throughout the entire term of this Agreement and the Advances so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term. 14. BILLING STATEMENT. TFC will send SHS a monthly billing statement identifying all amounts and charges due from SHS hereunder. The charges specified on each billing statement will be: (A) due and payable in full immediately on the 15th day of the month in which such billing statement is received (the "BILLING STATEMENT PAYMENT DATE"); and (B) an account stated, unless TFC receives SHS's written objection thereto within 10 days after such statement is received by SHS. If TFC does not receive, by the 25th day of any given month, payment of all amounts, charges and other fees shown on such month's billing statement, SHS will (to the extent not prohibited by law) pay to TFC a late fee ("LATE FEE") equal to 5% of the amount of such payments, charges or other amounts (payment of the Late Fee does not waive the Default or Event of Default caused by the late payment thereof and covers TFC's estimated administrative costs in respect thereof). TFC may adjust the billing statement at any time to conform to applicable law and this Agreement. All payments hereunder or pursuant to any monthly billing statement shall be made payable to TFC and delivered to TFC as set forth in Part 5 of the Schedules of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto (or as TFC may otherwise instruct SHS in writing reasonably in advance of any such payment). Application of payments received by TFC in respect of SHS's account may occur up to two business days after deposit into TFC's account to allow for clearance of funds, provided that application of payments via Federal Reserve wire transfer in immediately available funds shall be applied on the business day immediately following the date of receipt of such wire transfer. 15. GRANT OF PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTEREST. In order to secure repayment of any Advance made by TFC to or for the benefit of SHS the proceeds of which enabled SHS to acquire rights in or the use of a Manufactured Home or to refinance any Advance that was used for such purpose and to also secure the payment of all finance charges and interest accrued thereon and all fees, charges and expenses hereunder in respect thereof as well as all other obligations of SHS hereunder or in any other agreement entered into in connection herewith, SHS hereby grants to TFC a security interest in each of such Manufactured Homes (which the parties hereto intend to be a purchase money security interest) and all proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, any MH Consumer Lease Agreement with respect thereto and all MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments thereunder and all other proceeds in the form of goods, accounts, chattel paper, documents, instruments and/or general intangibles) to secure repayment of such Advance and all interest and finance charges accrued thereon and fees, charges and expenses in respect thereof and other obligations of SHS hereunder or in any other agreement entered into in connection herewith (collectively, the "PM COLLATERAL"). SHS acknowledges that TFC shall be entitled to a purchase money security interest in each of the aforesaid Manufactured Homes and the proceeds thereof and such items are and shall be purchase-money collateral. 16. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. In order to secure the payment and performance by SHS of all present and future indebtedness and obligations of SHS hereunder or in any other agreement entered into in connection herewith, whether direct or indirect, primary or secondary, absolute or contingent, or otherwise, including but not limited to the Advances, the payment of all interest and finance charges accrued thereon and all fees, charges and expenses hereunder in respect thereof, SHS hereby grants to TFC a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to each Manufactured Home with respect to which an Advance shall have been made hereunder or which shall be included in the determination of the New Borrowing Base, the Used Borrowing Base or the Rental Borrowing Base, wherever located, in which SHS now or hereafter has rights, including, but not limited to, installed or related appliances or products therein; all present and future attachments, accessories and accessions thereto; all spare parts, replacements, substitutions and exchanges therefor; all trade-ins relating to such inventory; all fixtures in respect thereof; all rights of SHS under any MH Servicing Agreement with respect thereto; all rights of SHS under any MH SHS Homesite Lease with respect thereto; all MH Consumer Lease Agreements with respect thereto (together with any security 18 deposits with respect thereto relating to such Manufactured Homes); all rights of SHS with respect to MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments with respect thereto (provided, however, that, pursuant to the MH Servicing Agreements, the application of rental payments from MH Consumer Lessees of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral to the payment of MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments under their respective MH Consumer Lease Agreements shall be junior and subordinate to the application of such rental payments to the payment of homesite rent in respect of such Rented Manufactured Homes to the applicable MH Community Homesite Lessors under their respective MH SHS Homesite Leases and the payment to or reimbursement of the MH Community Homesite Lessors for their respective costs and expenses in providing servicing to SHS under their respective MH Servicing Agreements for such Rented Manufactured Homes); all recourse to and rights of indemnification of SHS from MH Community Homesite Lessors in respect of any such Manufactured Home, any MH SHS Homesite Lease with respect thereto and/or any MH Servicing Agreement with respect thereto; all rights of SHS under each Marketing and Sales Agreement between a MH Community Homesite Lessor and SHS (as amended from time to time, individually a "MSA" and, collectively, the "MSAS") with respect thereto; and all proceeds of any of the foregoing (including proceeds in the form of goods, accounts, chattel paper, documents, instruments, deposit accounts and/or general intangibles) (collectively, the "GENERAL COLLATERAL"). The PM Collateral and the General Collateral are referred to herein, collectively, as the "COLLATERAL." For the avoidance of doubt, the General Collateral shall include the PM Collateral. All of terms used in this Section 16 for which meanings are provided in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Rhode Island are used herein with such meanings. 17. COLLATERAL ASSURANCES. SHS will execute and deliver all documents necessary to assist in perfecting the security interests granted herein and will bear all costs of recording and perfection, including, without limitation, the following: (A) if SHS shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or tangible chattel paper as proceeds of Collateral, SHS shall, if requested by TFC, forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to TFC, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as TFC may from time to time specify, (B) if any Collateral is at any time in the possession of a bailee (including, without limitation, any MH Community Homesite Lessor under any MH Servicing Agreement), SHS shall promptly notify TFC thereof and, at the request of TFC, shall promptly obtain an acknowledgement from the bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to TFC, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of TFC, and that such bailee agrees to comply, without further consent of SHS, with instructions from TFC as to such Collateral, (C) if SHS at any time holds or acquires an interest in any chattel paper (including, without limitation, the MH Consumer Lease Agreements) as proceeds of Collateral, SHS shall mark its records to reflect the security interests of TFC in such chattel paper and shall, at the request of TFC, take such other action as TFC may reasonably request (including placing legends on each of such MH Consumer Lease Agreements reflecting the security interest of TFC therein), (D) the preparation and recordation of any fixture filings with respect to any of the Collateral that TFC requests to be prepared and recorded (together with any costs or expenses in respect of UCC and lien searches in respect thereof), (E) the preparation and recordation of any Texas Inventory Finance Security Forms with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs that TFC requests to be prepared and recorded (together with all "TIFF" searches in respect thereof) and (F) SHS further agrees, at the request of TFC to, where appropriate, (I) comply with any provision of any statute or regulation of the United States of America or any State thereof as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of TFC to enforce, TFC's security interest in such Collateral, (II) use reasonable efforts to obtain governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals in form and substance satisfactory to TFC, and (III) obtain landlord waivers and affirmations from the MH Community Homesite Lessors in respect of the MH SHS Homesite Leases (for MH Rental Homesites on which Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral are located and their respective MH Servicing Agreements and in respect of any other Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral that are or may be located in any MH Homesite) that grant to TFC, among other things, the right to enter upon any MH Homesite or MH Rental Homesite in order to remove a Manufactured Home constituting Collateral, confirm to TFC that they claim no landlord's lien in 19 and to any such Manufactured Home, permit TFC to leave any such Manufactured Home on its MH Homesite or MH Rental Homesite so long as TFC causes the rental payments due under the applicable MH SHS Homesite Lease or otherwise to be made in respect thereof and allow TFC to cure defaults by SHS under any such MH SHS Homesite Lease or other leasing arrangement and under any MH Servicing Agreement. SHS hereby irrevocably authorizes TFC at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto (including, without limitation, any fixture filings and any Texas Inventory Finance Security Forms to be filed with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs) that cover the Collateral. SHS also ratifies its authorization for TFC to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. TFC agrees that upon the termination of this Agreement, the cessation of any right of SHS to obtain Advances hereunder and the full and final payment by SHS of all of its obligations hereunder or otherwise secured hereby, TFC shall, upon request of SHS, reasonably promptly take all actions necessary to release or terminate any filing made hereunder. 18. INVENTORY COLLATERAL TO REMAIN PERSONAL PROPERTY. SHS agrees that the Manufactured Homes constituting the Collateral shall at all times remain personal property and shall not become affixed to or form a part of any real estate and no filing or election has been made or will be made under applicable state law to cause such units to become part of any real estate or otherwise treated or recognized as real estate under applicable state law. 19. AFFIRMATIVE UNDERTAKINGS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS. SHS warrants and represents to, and covenants and agrees with, TFC that: (A) SHS has good title to all of the Collateral; (B) except as provided for in Part 6 on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto, the security interest in the Collateral is not now and will not become subordinate to the security interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any other person;

(Q) SHS will comply with all applicable laws, unless noncompliance would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of SHS, the Collateral or SHS's ability to perform and carry out its obligations and undertakings hereunder, and will conduct its business in a manner which preserves and protects the Collateral and the earnings and incomes thereof, (S) each invoice, bill of sale or similar document submitted to TFC by SHS as a request for the financing of a Manufactured Home is true and correct in all material respects, (R) SHS has, to the extent required by its activities and businesses, fully complied with and will continue to fully comply with (I) all of the applicable provisions of (A) the Consumer Credit Protection Act, as amended, (B) all rules and regulations promulgated under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (including, without limitation, Regulations M and Z thereunder), and (C) all other applicable federal statutes and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder pertaining to the renting, selling and financing of manufactured homes and (II) all of the applicable provisions of any law of any state or municipality (and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) relating to the renting, selling and financing of manufactured homes, including, without limitation, the laws, rules and regulations of the States of Florida, Michigan, Indiana, Texas, and Ohio, except where the failure to so comply would not have a material or adverse effect on the business, properties or financial condition of SHS or the ability of SHS to perform its undertakings hereunder and (S) neither the MH Community Homesite Lessors nor any mortgagee nor secured party thereof have any claim on, lien or security interest in, or right to obtain any New Manufactured Home Held for Sale or Used Manufactured Home Held for Sale constituting Collateral. SHS hereby indemnifies and holds TFC harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any MH Consumer Lessee under any MH Consumer Lease Agreement constituting (or having constituted) Collateral or any buyer of any Manufactured Home financed hereunder or otherwise constituting (or having constituted) a part of the Collateral that arises, directly or indirectly, out of the failure of SHS to comply with any applicable laws, including, without limitation, the failure of SHS to fully comply with any of the applicable provisions of (1) the Consumer Credit Protection Act, as amended, (2) all rules and regulations promulgated under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (including, without limitation, Regulations M and Z thereunder), (3) all other applicable federal statutes and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder pertaining to the renting, selling and financing of manufactured homes and (4) any applicable laws of any state or municipality (and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) relating to the renting, selling and financing of manufactured homes, including, without limitation, the laws, rules and regulations of the States of Florida, Michigan, Indiana, Texas, and Ohio. 20. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. SHS will not at any time: (A) other than as provided in Sections 10 and 11 hereof, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the other Collateral; (B) pledge or encumber or otherwise grant a lien or security interest in and to (or allow any such lien or security interest to arise in respect of) any of the Collateral (except as provided for hereunder); or (C) merge or consolidate with another entity or otherwise change its legal structure or amalgamate unless TFC shall have given its prior written approval of the same (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 21. INSURANCE. At all times during the term of this Agreement, SHS shall bear the entire risk of loss or destruction of, or damage to, its respective Collateral. SHS shall list the Collateral on its insurance schedule for its full replacement cost or actual cash value at its discretion, pursuant to an "all risk" property insurance policy with a company reasonably acceptable to TFC that names TFC as a "lender loss-payee" with respect to its Collateral and provides that TFC shall be provided with 30 days notice of cancellation. SHS will provide TFC with written evidence of such property insurance coverage and lender's loss-payee 21 endorsement. SHS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless TFC in respect of all claims, demands, suits and expenses on account of bodily injury, sickness or disease, including death, sustained by any person or persons, injury to or the destruction of property, and any and all other losses, accidents, claims, suits and expenses whatsoever and howsoever arising or incurred in the course of the business activities carried on by SHS and SHS shall maintain "Commercial General Liability Insurance" in a limit of not less than $10,000,000, with such deductibles as it sees fit (and, if practicable, shall have TFC named as an additional insured on such policy). If SHS is required to indemnify TFC, TFC agrees that SHS and its third-party administrator shall control the defense and TFC shall reasonably cooperate with the defense (all at the cost and expense of SHS). In the event of SHS's failure to secure and maintain insurance as herein required, TFC may, to protect and insure the Collateral and at is sole option, secure such insurance on behalf of SHS, and SHS hereby promises to pay to TFC on demand any amounts expended by TFC in securing such insurance as part of the obligations, the payment of which is secured by the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Insurance purchased by TFC may not include coverage beyond that required by this Section. The cost of such insurance may include premium expense. TFC's affiliates may act as insurance carrier, premium finance company and/or insurance administrator, and may be compensated through premium charges, commissions, premium rebates and fees. SHS acknowledges that any insurance obtained by TFC is solely for the benefit of TFC and may be more expensive than insurance obtained or obtainable by SHS. SHS hereby agrees that TFC may act as SHS's representative in making, adjusting, and settling claims under or canceling any insurance policies it places pursuant to this provision covering the Collateral, and endorsing SHS's name on any drafts, checks or other instruments drawn by an insurer of the Collateral. TFC will promptly discontinue any insurance purchased by it upon SHS's presentation of proper evidence of valid insurance meeting the requirements of this Section. With respect to any Manufactured Home constituting Collateral that is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, SHS will (AA) pay to TFC the outstanding principal indebtedness owed in respect of any Advance made to it hereunder to finance the acquisition of such Manufactured Home so lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged on the first Billing Statement Payment Date occurring after the month in which such loss, theft, destruction or damage occurred and (BB) pay on such Billing Statement Payment Date all of the following excess amounts determined in respect of the last day of the month in which such loss, theft, destruction or damage occurred: (AAA) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the New Borrowing Base, (BBB) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the Used Sales Borrowing Base and (CCC) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Rented Manufactured Home Advances exceeds the Rental Borrowing Base, provided that if a Default or Event of Default shall then exist, SHS shall immediately pay, or cause to be paid, to TFC, without duplication, all insurance proceeds (net of any reasonable expenses in respect thereof) obtained with respect to such Manufactured Home together with all of the other foregoing amounts for application to the obligations hereunder as provided for in Section 26 hereof. TFC shall apply the amounts paid in respect of the excess amount payments to the Advances in respect thereof in such order of payment as TFC may determine in its sole discretion. To the extent that any Manufactured Home that constitutes Collateral hereunder is damaged in an amount in excess of $10,000 and, in SHS's estimation can be repaired or refurbished, SHS shall inform TFC in writing of such damage and of its undertaking to repair and refurbish such Manufactured Home, shall promptly commence the repair or refurbishment of such Manufactured Home, and shall notify TFC when such repairs and refurbishment are completed. If the foregoing repairs and refurbishments have not been completed within the 90-day period, SHS shall (A) pay off the outstanding principal amount of any Advance (together with all accrued and unpaid finance charges and other fees in respect thereof) related to such Manufactured Home on the Billing Statement Payment Date first occurring after the end of such period and (B) pay on such Billing Statement Payment Date all of the following excess amounts determined in respect 22 of the last day of the month immediately preceding such Billing Statement Payment Date: (AA) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding balance of the New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the New Borrowing Base, (BB) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding balance of the Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the Used Sales Borrowing Base and (CC) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding balance of the Rented Manufactured Home Advances exceeds the Rental Borrowing Base, provided that if a Default or Event of Default shall then exist, SHS shall immediately pay to TFC all such amounts. TFC shall apply the amounts paid in respect of the excess amounts payments to the Advances in respect thereof in such order of payment as TFC may determine in its sole discretion. TFC shall have the right to require such documentation as is reasonably available to verify the damages and SHS's actions to repair the same. Upon the full and final payment of all indebtedness and obligations of SHS hereunder and the termination of all commitments and lending facilities hereunder, TFC will deliver to SHS any and all insurance proceeds received by it under any casualty insurance policy referred to above (net of any costs and expenses paid by TFC with respect thereto). 22. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SHS shall deliver to TFC, within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year of SHS, SHS's balance sheet, statement of income, changes in cash flows and other related financial statements ("FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"), prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified by the chief financial officer of SHS as presenting fairly the financial condition of SHS as of the date thereof and for the period then ended. SHS will deliver to TFC, within 90 days after the close of each fiscal quarter of SHS, copies of SHS's quarterly Financial Statements certified by the chief financial officer of SHS as presenting fairly the financial condition of SHS as of the date thereof and for the period then ended. SHS will deliver to TFC, weekly in arrears in a electronic format which is compatible with and exportable to TFC's commercial loan tracking systems, a status report for all of the Manufactured Homes constituting the Collateral, which report shall provide such detail and determinations as shall be mutually agreed between SHS and TFC prior to the Closing Date and as set forth in Part 8 to the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto (the "WEEKLY ELECTRONIC MH INVENTORY REPORT"). 23. AUDITS. In connection with any Audits to be performed under this Section 23, SHS grants TFC an irrevocable license to enter SHS's business locations (including, without limitation, any MH Homesites or MH Rental Homesites leased by SHS under any MH SHS Homesite Lease) during normal business hours without notice (except as expressly provided below) to SHS to: (A) account for and inspect all Collateral of SHS (including, without limitation, all Manufactured Homes and all manufacturer statements of origin or certificates of title); for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, TFC agrees to give SHS 48 hours prior notice of any such inspection with respect to manufacturer statements of origin or certificates of title; (B) verify SHS's compliance with this Agreement; and (C) examine and copy SHS's books and records related to the Collateral of SHS; for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, TFC agrees to give SHS 48 hours prior notice of any such inspection with respect to manufacturer statements of origin or certificates of title. In connection with any Audits to be performed under this Section 23, SHS agrees to provide TFC with such information as TFC reasonably requests to substantiate SHS's invoice price, Net Invoice Prices, Market Prices and net book value determinations and to allow TFC reasonable access to SHS's books, records and personnel from time to time during normal business hours to verify such information. In order to assess SHS's compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, TFC shall be entitled to audit and floorcheck or cause to be audited or floorchecked the Manufactured Home inventory of SHS, SHS's books and records and the other Collateral as frequently as TFC considers it prudent to do so (in each case, an "AUDIT"). During each calendar month for so long as this Agreement is in effect and no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence, TFC shall conduct Audits such that TFC shall have floorchecked, audited and/or reviewed all Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral hereunder (and any MH Consumer Lease Agreements, manufacturer statements of origin, and certificates of title in respect thereof), SHS's books and records and the other Collateral every twelve (12) months, provided that, if, in the reasonable determination of TFC, material discrepancies exist between the results of such Audits and the 23 Weekly Electronic MH Inventory Reports (which material discrepancies SHS shall have not been able to explain to the reasonable satisfaction of TFC), TFC may increase the frequency of its Audits such that all Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral hereunder (and any MH Consumer Lease Agreements, manufacturer statements of origin, and certificates of title in respect thereof), SHS's books and records and the other Collateral shall be floorchecked, audited and/or reviewed every six (6) months or such shorter period of time as TFC shall determine in its reasonable discretion. If a Default or Event of Default shall exist, TFC may, in its sole discretion, conduct Audits as frequently as it deems necessary in respect of the Collateral (including, without, limitation, the Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral hereunder; any MH Consumer Lease Agreements, any manufacturer statements of origin, and/or any certificates of title in respect thereof; and the books and records of SHS). SHS shall cooperate fully with TFC in connection with each Audit. If no Default or Event of Default shall exist during any Audit, SHS shall remit to TFC an audit fee (the "AUDIT FEE") for each such Audit conducted in respect of a Sun MH Community or other situs of Collateral or books and records of SHS equal to $500 per such Audit. If any Default or Event of Default shall exist during any Audit, SHS shall remit to TFC the Audit Fee for each Audit conducted in respect of a Sun MH Community or other situs of Collateral or books and records equal to $500 plus TFC's actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in respect of each such Audit. If, as a result of any Audit, it shall be determined by TFC that a Manufactured Home constituting Collateral is not in the possession of SHS in a Sun MH Community or in the possession of a MH Consumer Lessee under a MH Consumer Lease Agreement and located on a MH Rental Homesite in a Sun MH Community, then SHS shall immediately, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from TFC, pay to TFC (I) the outstanding principal indebtedness owed for any Advance made to it hereunder related to such Manufactured Home on the first Billing Statement Payment Date occurring after the month in which such determination was made or, if a Default or Event of Default shall then exist, upon written demand from TFC, whichever is earlier, and (II) pay on such Billing Statement Payment Date all of the following excess amounts determined in respect of the last day of the month in which such determination was made: (A) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the New Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the New Borrowing Base, (B) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Used Manufactured Home Acquisition Advances exceeds the Used Sales Borrowing Base and (C) the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Rented Manufactured Home Advances exceeds the Rental Borrowing Base. TFC shall apply the amounts paid in respect of the aforesaid excess amounts to the Advances in respect thereof in such order of payment as TFC may determine in its sole discretion. 24. COVENANTS. SHS agrees that the failure of the Guarantors and their consolidated subsidiaries (including, without limitation, SHS) to maintain the financial covenants set forth in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2004, among the Guarantors, the various financial institutions party thereto and Standard Federal Bank National Association, as administrative agent, as in effect from time to time ("CREDIT AGREEMENT"), as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Guarantors, based on the publicly released consolidated financial statements of the Guarantors, shall be treated as an Event of Default as provided in Section 25(b) hereof, provided, if any such financial covenant shall be modified or waived by the parties to such Credit Agreement and TFC shall have not consented to the same in writing at the time of any such amendment and waiver, then, unless TFC shall have subsequently so consented, the making or extension of any Advances hereunder shall immediately and without notice to SHS become discretionary in the sole and absolute determination of TFC. For the avoidance of doubt, TFC agrees that any waiver or modification of the aforesaid financial covenants in the Credit Agreement by the parties thereto shall be effective hereunder except that TFC has the right, in its sole discretion, as a result thereof to convert this Agreement to a fully discretionary lending facility on the part of TFC. If the Credit Agreement shall be terminated by the parties thereto, the financial covenants provided for therein at the time of such termination shall nonetheless continue to be effective under this Section 24. Not later than 50 calendar days after the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Guarantors, or 90 calendar days after the last day of each fiscal year of the Guarantors, SHS shall submit to TFC a certificate stating that the Guarantors are in compliance with the aforesaid financial covenants (or, if applicable, disclosing any non- 24 compliance therewith) and shall show such supporting information as TFC may reasonably request. Each certificate will also certify that no Event of Default under Section 25(o) then exists. Each certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to TFC and signed by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of the Guarantors (or such other officer as is acceptable to TFC in its sole discretion). 25. DEFAULT. SHS will be in immediate default under this Agreement (and an Event of Default shall exist hereunder at such time) if: (A) any payment obligation of SHS to TFC and/or any affiliate of TFC under this Agreement or any agreement related hereto is not paid within 3 business days of the due date thereof, including, without limitation, any payment required under Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 21 and/or 23 hereof;

(C) any sale of or disposition of the Collateral is made by SHS other than in compliance with Sections 10 or 11 hereof, or SHS breaches any covenant under Section 20 hereof and, in any such case, such noncompliance or breach is not cured within 10 days of the earlier to occur of (I) written notice from TFC to SHS of such noncompliance or breach or (II) knowledge of such noncompliance or breach by a responsible officer of SHS;

(L) SHS fails to pay any indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 owing to any person other than TFC or any affiliate of TFC when due or otherwise defaults under any agreement in respect of such indebtedness which would permit such person (with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both) to accelerate the payment of such indebtedness or otherwise require such indebtedness, in whole or part, to be paid prior to its stated maturity; (M) any Guarantor fails to make any payment in respect of any indebtedness owing to any person other than TFC or any affiliate of TFC when due or otherwise defaults under any agreement in respect of such indebtedness which would permit such person (with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both) to accelerate the payment of such indebtedness or otherwise require such indebtedness, in whole or part, to be paid prior to its stated maturity, provided that such indebtedness either individually or cumulatively with all other such indebtedness has an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least $2,000,000; (N) (I) any MH Servicing Agreement covering a material number of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral shall be terminated, rescinded or revoked or materially amended or modified without the prior written consent of TFC and/or any MSA covering a material number of Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral shall be terminated, rescinded or revoked or materially amended or modified without the prior written consent of TFC; (O) (I) any MH Servicing Agreement that covers a material number of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral is materially breached by the MH Community Homesite Lessor thereunder or by SHS and/or (II) any MSA that covers a material number of Manufactured Homes 25 constituting Collateral is materially breached by the MH Community Homesite Lessor thereunder or by SHS; (P) a final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $1,000,000 is rendered against SHS or or in excess of $2,000,000 is rendered against any Guarantor and is not, bonded, discharged or stayed within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof or is not discharged within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such stay;

or (R) any Guarantor revokes, terminates or attempts to revoke or terminate the Guaranty. During the existence of any Event of Default, TFC may, at any time and without notice or demand to SHS, take any one or more of the following actions: (1) declare all or any part of the indebtedness and obligations of SHS hereunder immediately due and payable, together with all costs and expenses of TFC's collection activity, including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees; (2) exercise any or all rights under applicable law (including, without limitation, the right to possess, transfer and dispose of the Collateral and to enforce the payment of any and all obligations (including, without limitation, any deficiency obligations) of SHS hereunder; and/or (3) terminate any additional financing hereunder. 26. RIGHTS OF TFC UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and at any time thereafter, TFC shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Rhode Island and any other applicable laws, including the right to collect from SHS any deficiency remaining after disposition of the Collateral and to collect all MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments under the MH Consumer Lease Agreements (in respect of Rented Manufactured Homes constituting Collateral) from the applicable MH Community Homesite Lessor or directly from the MH Consumer Lessees (upon notification or otherwise). SHS agrees that TFC may, by itself or through an agent, without notice to any person and without judicial process of any kind, enter into any premises or upon any land owned, leased or otherwise under the apparent control of SHS where TFC believes the Collateral may be (including, without limitation, any MH Homesite or MH Rental Homesite), and disassemble, render unusable and/or repossess all or any items of the Collateral (to the extent not rented under a MH Consumer Lease Agreement). SHS expressly waives all rights to possession of the Collateral after default. SHS shall, upon demand by TFC, assemble the Collateral (to the extent not rented under a MH Consumer Lease Agreement) and return it to TFC at a place designated by TFC. TFC will give SHS reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to the notice address of SHS shown herein at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition of the Collateral. SHS agrees that TFC may apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and SHS hereby consents to any such appointment. SHS agrees that the repurchase of any Manufactured Home included in the Collateral by a Manufacturer shall constitute a commercially reasonable private sale of such Collateral by TFC. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like shall include attorney's fees and other legal expenses. SHS understands that TFC's rights are cumulative and not alternative. In connection with TFC's exercise of its rights under this Section 26, SHS (I) irrevocably waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, any right it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of TFC's rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto following an Event of Default, and (II) irrevocably waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, any right it may have under any applicable valuation and exemption laws. TFC shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the obligations of SHS hereunder or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by TFC. No delay or omission on the part of TFC in exercising any right or remedy shall 26 operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. TFC shall not be required to marshal any Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the obligations of SHS or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order. SHS hereby agrees, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of TFC's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument related thereto and, to the extent that it lawfully may, SHS hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. SHS shall pay to TFC on demand any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by TFC in protecting, preserving or enforcing TFC's rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the obligations of SHS hereunder in such order or preference as TFC may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any such obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the obligations of SHS hereunder and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Rhode Island, if any, any excess shall be returned to SHS. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations, SHS shall remain liable for any deficiency. SHS grants TFC an irrevocable power of attorney, which shall become effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to: instruct each MH Community Homesite Lessor under its respective MH Servicing Agreement to pay to TFC any or all of the MH Consumer Lease Agreement Payments under the MH Consumer Lease Agreements constituting Collateral and to otherwise preserve and protect the other Collateral; execute or endorse on SHS's behalf any checks, financing statements, instruments, certificates of title and manufacturer statements of origin pertaining to the Collateral; supply any omitted information and correct errors in any documents between or among TFC and SHS; initiate and settle any insurance claim pertaining to the Collateral of SHS to the extent not done by SHS as contemplated in Section 21 above; and do anything to preserve and protect the Collateral of SHS and TFC's rights and interest therein. 27. WAIVER. TFC may, in its sole discretion, waive a default or cure a default at SHS's expense. Any such waiver in any particular instance or any waiver of a particular default shall not be a waiver of any other defaults at the same time or at any other time. No modification or change in this Agreement, or supplement hereto, shall bind TFC unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of TFC. 28. TERM; MATURITY DATE. This Agreement shall have a term (the "TERM") commencing on the date hereof and ending on March 1, 2009 (the "MATURITY DATE"). All obligations hereunder outstanding on the Maturity Date shall mature and automatically become due and payable, including, without limitation, all outstanding Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest and/or finance charges and all fees, costs and expenses. SHS agrees to pay all such obligations so maturing on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the Term of this Agreement, no booking approvals shall be issued less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date. SHS may terminate this Agreement in whole, but not in part, at any time by written notice received by TFC. If SHS terminates this Agreement, SHS agrees to give TFC 60 days prior written notice of such termination (and during such notice period, SHS will continue to pay all sums due under the Agreement, including, but not limited to the payment of the fees set forth in Section 13 hereof and Advances may be requested hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof except that the issuance of booking approvals may be ceased by TFC within a reasonable period of time prior to the effective termination date of this Agreement). SHS will not be relieved from any obligation to TFC arising out of Advances or booking approvals made before the effective termination date of this Agreement. The total outstanding balance due under this Agreement as of the effective date of termination will be due and payable upon the effective termination date of this Agreement (which shall include, without limitation, all unpaid principal in respect of any outstanding Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest, finance charges and fees in respect thereof and all costs and expenses to be paid by SHS hereunder) together with the following termination fees: (I) if the effective date of termination shall occur on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, a 27 fee of $800,000 and (II) if the effective date of termination shall occur after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, a fee of $400,000. TFC will retain all of its respective rights, interests and remedies hereunder until SHS has fully and finally paid all of its obligations owing hereunder. All waivers of SHS set forth within this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement. 29. BINDING EFFECT. SHS shall not assign its interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of TFC. This Agreement will protect and bind the respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of SHS and TFC. 30. NOTICES. Except as otherwise stated herein, all notices, requests and documents will be sufficiently given or served if mailed or delivered: (A) to SHS at the place of business specified in Part 1 on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto or such other address as SHS may hereafter specify in writing to TFC and (B) to TFC as specified in Part 10 on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto or such other address as TFC may hereafter specify in writing to the other parties hereto. 31. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBTS ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO PROTECT SHS AND TFC FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ALL AGREEMENTS COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR AS THE PARTIES MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 31. OTHER WAIVERS. SHS irrevocably waives notice of TFC's acceptance of this Agreement, presentment, demand, protest, nonpayment, nonperformance, and dishonor. 32. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or its application is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be impaired or affected and will remain binding and enforceable. 33. RECEIPT OF AGREEMENT. SHS acknowledges that it has received a true and complete copy of this Agreement. SHS acknowledges that it has read and understood this Agreement.
