<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt">DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANT



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;2, 2002, we completed the sale of 25,000 shares of our Series&nbsp;C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share to Fletcher
International, Ltd., a Bermuda company. On March&nbsp;2, 2004, we completed the
sale of 12,000 shares of our Series&nbsp;B-2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
no par value per share, to Fletcher International, Ltd. pursuant to the
exercise by Fletcher International, Ltd. of its right to purchase Series&nbsp;B-2
Preferred Stock under the Agreement dated as of June&nbsp;29, 2001 by and between
Champion and Fletcher International, Ltd.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description of the Series&nbsp;B-2 Preferred Stock, Series&nbsp;C
Preferred Stock, and the warrant issued in connection with the issuance of the
Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
certificate of rights and preferences relating to the Series&nbsp;B-2 Preferred
Stock, the first amended and restated certificate of rights and preferences
relating to the Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock, the warrant certificate dated as of
April&nbsp;2, 2002, respectively, and each of our agreements dated as of June&nbsp;29,
2001 and March&nbsp;29, 2002 with Fletcher International, Ltd., which have been
filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated July&nbsp;3, 2001, filed
with the SEC on July&nbsp;9, 2001, our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated April&nbsp;2,
2002, filed with the SEC on April&nbsp;5, 2002, and our Current Report on Form 8-K,
dated January&nbsp;31, 2003, filed with the SEC on February&nbsp;10, 2003. The following
description presents all of the material provisions of the applicable
certificate of rights and preferences and the warrant certificate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cumulative dividends are payable on the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred
Stock quarterly in arrears. The dividend rate is 5% per annum, based on the
stated value of $1,000 per share of Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock.
Subject to certain conditions specified in the certificate of rights and
preferences for each series, dividends payable on the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C
Preferred Stock may be paid at our option either in cash or by issuing shares
of our registered common stock. The number of shares of our common stock to be
issued as dividends is determined by dividing the cash amount of the dividend
otherwise payable by the market value of the common stock determined in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable certificate of rights and
preferences. If we fail to pay any dividends when due, those dividends will
accumulate and accrue additional dividends at the then existing dividend rate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless all accumulated dividends on the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred
Stock have been paid in full and dividends for the next four dividend periods
have been designated and set aside, and for all outstanding shares of Series
B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock, an additional dividend is paid such that the
Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock participate on an as converted basis,
we will not declare or pay any dividends on our common stock or any other of
our securities ranking junior to the Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock
with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation or having a priority
equal to the Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock with respect to dividends
and distributions on liquidation, except for dividends on any Series&nbsp;B
Preferred Stock or the Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock and, with the exception of any
Series&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock, no shares of stock
ranking junior or having an equal priority may be purchased or otherwise
redeemed by us.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we are in arrears in the payment of dividends on Series&nbsp;B or Series&nbsp;C
Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount equal to more than two quarterly
dividends, the dividend rate on the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock
will be 15% per annum until all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full.
We are currently not in arrears in the payment of dividends on Series&nbsp;B or
Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon our liquidation, after the payment or provision for payment of all of
our debts and other liabilities and the liquidation preference of any senior
securities, the holders of the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive the greater of (1) $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid
dividends before the holders of any junior securities receive any payment or
(2)&nbsp;the amount the holders would have received if the holders had converted all
outstanding shares of Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock into common stock
immediately prior to the date of the liquidation. The holders of all of our
other capital stock junior to the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock,
including the holders of our common stock, will receive all liquidating
distributions after the holders of the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock
have received their stated amounts with respect to liquidating distributions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, neither the Series&nbsp;B-2 nor the Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock will
have voting rights on ordinary corporate matters, except as required by
Michigan law. However, the holders of the Series&nbsp;B-2 and Series&nbsp;C Preferred
Stock will vote separately as a class and the approval of a majority of such
series will be required to (a)&nbsp;amend, alter, or repeal the provisions of our

unpaid dividends), based upon the acquisition price (in the case of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock) and the length of time remaining in the life of the
Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock, respectively.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we do not elect to acquire the Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock
at the closing of the business combination, then each holder of the applicable
series has the right to elect to receive either or a combination of (a)&nbsp;the
stock and other securities, cash and property which the holder would have
received had the holder converted or redeemed its preferred stock into common
stock immediately before the transaction, (b)&nbsp;shares of common stock of the
acquiring person or its parent company, as elected by the holders, according to
formulas contained in the appropriate certificate of rights and preferences,
which take into account various factors, including the acquisition price for
our common stock, the conversion price for the Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C Preferred
Stock, as applicable, the redemption amount for the Series&nbsp;B-2 or Series&nbsp;C
Preferred Stock, as applicable, the market price of the common stock of the
acquiring person or its parent, and the market price of our common stock, or
(c)&nbsp;cash in an amount equal to 133% of the stated value of the Series&nbsp;B-2 or
Series&nbsp;C Preferred Stock, as applicable, (plus all accrued but unpaid
dividends). This cash payment would be paid by the acquiring person and not us.
The acquiring person also would be required to assume, in writing, our

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented on a continual
basis to describe a specific plan of distribution. In effecting sales,
broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in the resales. The selling shareholder may 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 align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the shares may not engage in market-making
activities for our common stock during some restricted periods. Additionally,
the selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act,
including Regulation&nbsp;M, that may limit the timing of purchases and sales of

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20&nbsp;percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration
Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">provided, however, that paragraphs (i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We have served as counsel to Champion Enterprises, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) in
connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement (Form S-3) to be
filed by the Company on March 11, 2004, with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offering of
2,864,809 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;B-2
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, documents,
certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Based upon such examination and our participation in the preparation of the
Registration Statement, it is our opinion that (1)&nbsp;the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Series&nbsp;B-2 Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Certificate
of Rights and Preferences of the Series&nbsp;B-2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock (the &#147;Certificate&#148;), will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and (2)&nbsp;the shares of the Common Stock issuable from time to
time by the Company as dividends on the Series&nbsp;B-2 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit&nbsp;5.1 to the Registration
Statement.
