            any Centex Affiliate, or Cavco shall be

            (1)   prepared in a manner that is consistent with the Ruling
                  Documents, and

            (2)   filed on a timely basis (including extensions) by the party
                  responsible for such filing under Section 2.1 of this

      (b)   Centex and Cavco agree to file all Tax Returns for any

                  Affiliate, and Cavco in such Tax Return;

            (4)   whether any amended Tax Returns shall be filed;

            (5)   whether any claims for refund shall be made;

            (6)   whether any refunds shall be paid by way of refund or credited
                  against any liability for the related Tax; and

            (7)   whether to retain outside specialists to prepare such Tax
                  Return, whom to retain for such purpose and the scope of any
                  such retainer.

      (d)   In the event that a Tax Item is includable in a Tax Return described

            preparation of, such Tax Return under Section 2.1(b) of this
            Agreement shall conform the treatment of such Tax Item in such Tax
            Return described in Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement to the

            Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement.

                                       6

      (e)   Any Tax Return described in (1) Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement
            (but only with respect to Tax Items of Cavco) or (2) Section 2.1(b)
            of this Agreement, in either case which Tax Return is filed after
            the date of this Agreement, shall be prepared on a basis consistent
            with the elections, methods of accounting, positions, conventions
            and principles of taxation and the manner in which any Tax Item or
            other information is reported as reflected on the most recently
            filed Tax Returns involving similar matters. The preceding sentence
            shall not apply (1) to the extent otherwise required by Section
            2.2(a)(1) of this Agreement or (2) if (i) Cavco obtains Centex's
            prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
            withheld), (ii) there has been a controlling change in law or
            circumstances, or (iii) the failure to be consistent will not result
            in an increased Tax liability to, or reduction in a Tax Asset of,
            Centex or any Centex Affiliate with respect to a Pre-Distribution
            Period, not fully compensated by Cavco. For purposes of this Section
            2.2(e), a controlling change in law or circumstances includes, with
            respect to Post-Distribution Periods (but not Pre-Distribution
            Periods), permission to change a method of accounting granted by the
            relevant Tax Authority.

2.3   Agent. Cavco hereby irrevocably designates Centex as its sole and
      exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to take such action (including
      execution of documents) as Centex, in its sole discretion, may deem
      appropriate in any and all matters (including Audits) relating to any Tax
      Return described in Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement.

2.4   Provision of Tax Return Information.

      (a)   Both Cavco and Centex agree to provide all documents and
            information, and to make available their employees and officers, as
            may be reasonably requested by either party to prepare any Tax
            Return described in Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

      (b)   In the case of any Tax Return described in Section 2.1(a) that is
            filed after the date of this Agreement, Centex shall, upon request
            of Cavco, provide Cavco a copy of each such Tax Return and all
            related Tax accounting work papers to the extent that they relate to
            Cavco.

      (c)   In the case of any Tax Return in Centex's possession that was filed
            before the date of this Agreement, Centex shall, upon request of
            Cavco, provide Cavco a copy of each such Tax Return and all related
            Tax accounting work papers to the extent that they relate to Cavco.

      (d)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no member of
            the Centex Group shall be required to provide Cavco access to or
            copies of:

            (1)   any information that relates to any member of the Centex
                  Group,

            (2)   any information as to which any member of the Centex Group is
                  entitled to assert the protection of any Privilege, or

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (3)   any information as to which any member of the Centex Group is
                  subject to an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of
                  such information.

            Centex shall use reasonable efforts to separate any such information
            from any other information to which Cavco is entitled to access or
            to which Cavco is entitled to copy under this Agreement, to the
            extent consistent with preserving its rights under this Section
            2.4(d).

                  failure to act would cause the Merger and Distribution to fail
                  to qualify under Sections 355(a) and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code
                  or any corresponding provisions of state or local law.

                  any act or failure to act described in Section 4.1(a)(2) of

            responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of any Restructuring

            Affiliate and their directors, officers and employees and hold them
            harmless from and against any Restructuring Taxes. If any Tax
            Authority withdraws any portion of a ruling issued to Centex in
            connection with the Distribution because of a breach by Centex or
            any Centex Affiliate of a representation made in this Section 4.1,
            Centex and each Centex Affiliate shall be responsible for one
            hundred percent (100%) of any Restructuring Taxes. In such event,
            Centex and each Centex Affiliate shall jointly and severally

            no later than five (5) days after delivery by Centex to Cavco of
            written notice of a payment by or liability of Centex (or a Centex
            Affiliate or a director, officer or employee) based on a Final
            Determination, together with a computation of the amounts due.

4.2   Information for Shareholders. Centex shall provide each shareholder that
      receives stock of Cavco pursuant to the Public Distribution with the
      information necessary for such shareholder to comply with the requirements

      Income Tax Returns demonstrating the applicability of Section 355 of the
      Code to the Public Distribution.

            deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in
            connection with or as a result of any such Audit.

            percent (100%) of any such Restructuring Taxes that are determined
            pursuant to a Final Determination, then (1) Centex shall take all

            or adjustment without the written consent of Cavco.

      (b)   If a Tax Authority asserts, proposes or recommends a deficiency,
            claim or adjustment that, if sustained, would result in

            Taxes pursuant to Section 6.3(a):

            (1)   Centex shall keep Cavco informed in a timely manner of all

            (3)   Centex shall have no obligation to appeal a determination of
                  any Tax Authority in any judicial forum.

6.4   Failure to Notify, Etc. The failure of Centex promptly to notify Cavco of
      any matter relating to a particular Tax for a taxable period or to take
      any action specified in Section 6.3 of this Agreement shall not relieve
      Cavco of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to Centex or
      any Centex Affiliate under this Agreement with respect to such
      Restructuring Taxes except to the extent that Cavco's rights hereunder are
      materially prejudiced by such failure and in no event shall such failure
      relieve Cavco of any other liability and/or obligation which it may have
      to Centex or any Centex Affiliate.

      Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction (or an arbitrator
      or arbitration panel) to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remainder
      of the terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions set forth herein
      shall remain in full force and effect, and shall in no way be affected,
      impaired, or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
      intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
      terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions without including any of
      such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void, or unenforceable. In
      the event that any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is held
      to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall use their
      best efforts to find and employ an alternate means to achieve the same or
      substantially the same result as that contemplated by such terms,
      provisions, covenant, or restriction.

8.13  No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of
      Centex, the Centex Affiliates, and Cavco. This Agreement should not be
      deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability,
      reimbursement, cause of action or other rights in excess of those existing
      without this Agreement.

8.14  Waivers, Etc. No failure or delay on the part of the parties in exercising
      any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
      any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
      abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power,
      preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
      other right or power. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
      Agreement nor consent to any departure by the parties therefrom shall in
      any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and then such
      waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
      the purpose for which given.

8.15  Setoff. All payments to be made by any party under this Agreement shall be
      made without setoff, counterclaim, or withholding, all of which are
      expressly waived.

                                       16

8.16  Change of Law. If, due to any change in applicable law or regulations or
      their interpretation by any court of law or other governing body having
      jurisdiction subsequent to the date of this Agreement, performance of any
      provision of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby shall
      become impracticable or impossible, the parties hereto shall use their
      commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
      achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by
      such provision.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be
executed by a duly authorized officer as of the date first above written.
