<P align="center"><FONT size="2">PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are registering all 6,776,048 shares on behalf of the selling
shareholder. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales by the selling
shareholder of the offered shares of common stock. The selling shareholder
named in the table above or pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest selling shares received from the selling shareholder as
a gift, distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this
prospectus may sell the shares at different times under this prospectus. The
selling shareholder will act independently of us in making decisions for the
timing, manner and size of each sale. The sales may be made on one or more
exchanges or quotation systems or in the over-the-counter market or in other
transactions, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to
the then current market price, or at otherwise negotiated prices.

enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers relating to distributions
of the shares or other transactions, but may not engage in short sales. The
selling shareholder may enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers that require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares.
The broker-dealer may then resell or transfer these shares through this
prospectus. The selling shareholder may also loan or pledge the shares to a
broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the shares which are loaned, or upon
a default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares by use of this
prospectus. Some or all of the shares offered in this prospectus also may be
sold to or through an underwriter or underwriters. Any shares sold in that
manner will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be
resold at different times in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale. These shares may be offered to the public through
underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or may
be offered to the public directly by one or more underwriters. Any public
offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or disallowed or paid
to dealers may be changed at different times.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the
form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholder.
Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the
purchasers of the shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as
principals, or both. Compensation for or to a particular underwriter or
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in
amounts to be negotiated at the time of the sale. Underwriters, broker-deals
or agents and any other participating broker-deals or the selling shareholders
may be considered to be underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the
Securities Act relating to the sales of the shares. Underwriters are defined
in this section as any person who has purchased from an issuer with a view to,
or offers or sells for an issuer in connection with, the distribution of any
security, or participates or has a direct or indirect participation in any
undertaking, or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect
underwriting of any undertaking. Any commission, discount or concession
received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them
may be considered to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act. Because selling shareholders may be considered to be
underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the
selling shareholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act. Neither the delivery of any prospectus, or any prospectus
supplement, nor any other action taken by Champion, the selling shareholder or
any purchaser relating to the purchase or sale of shares under this prospectus
shall be considered or treated as an admission that any of them is an
underwriter within the meaning of
the Securities Act relating to the sale of any shares. Additionally, any
securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale through Rule&nbsp;144
under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule&nbsp;144 rather than through this
prospectus.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers if required under applicable state securities law. Additionally, in
some states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the
&#147;MBCA&#148;) which, in general, empowers Michigan corporations to indemnify a person
who is a party or threatened to be made a party to any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (other than actions
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of
another enterprise at such corporation&#146;s request, against expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection therewith if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation or its shareholders and, in the case of a criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
If a director or officer is successful in defending against a derivative
action or third-party action, the MBCA requires that a Michigan corporation
indemnify such director or officer against expenses incurred in the action.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MBCA also empowers Michigan corporations to provide similar indemnity
against amounts paid in settlement and expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by such a person in actions or suits by or in the right of the
corporation except in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that a court determines that, despite the adjudication of the liability
but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s bylaws generally require the Company to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible under Michigan law,
require the advancement and reimbursement of expenses under certain
circumstances and establish a procedure for determination of when
indemnification is proper.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MBCA permits Michigan corporations to limit the personal liability of
directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty. The Company&#146;s Articles of
Incorporation, which limit liability to

<!-- PAGEBREAK -->
<P><HR noshade><P>
<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P><FONT size="2">the maximum extent permitted by law,
provide that a director of the Company will not be personally liable to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the director&#146;s
fiduciary duty. However, the MBCA and the Articles of Incorporation do not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (i)&nbsp;a
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders;
(ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii)&nbsp;declaration of an unlawful dividend, stock
purchase or redemption; (iv)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director derives an
improper personal benefit; and (v)&nbsp;an act or omission occurring prior to the
date when the provision becomes effective. As a result of the inclusion of
such a provision, shareholders of the Company may be unable to recover monetary
damages against directors for actions taken by them which constitute negligence
or gross negligence or which are in violation of their fiduciary duties,
although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief with
respect to such actions.

</FONT>


<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under an insurance policy maintained by the Company, the directors and
officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the
limitations of the policy, against certain expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or proceedings
which may be brought against them by reason of being or having been directors
or officers. In addition, a certain registration rights agreement to which the
Company is a party provides that the Company will indemnify, to the extent
permitted by law, each holder of &#147;registrable securities&#148; (as defined in such
agreement) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused
by misstatements or omissions in any registration statement, prospectus or
preliminary prospectus, except insofar as such misstatements are caused by or
contained in information furnished to the Company by such holders.

6,776,048 shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the
&#147;Common Stock&#148;) for resale by a certain selling shareholder. The shares
included in the registration statement may be issued from time to time upon
conversion or redemption of or as dividends upon the Company&#146;s Series&nbsp;C

issued in connection with the issuance of the Series&nbsp;C Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock.

the Company as dividends on the Series&nbsp;C Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock, upon due declaration by the Board of Directors of the Company of a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock and due payment of such dividend in
accordance with the Certificate, will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and (3)&nbsp;the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Company&#146;s warrant dated April&nbsp;2, 2002 in favor of Fletcher International, Ltd.,
