Re: Cavco Industries, Inc.: Registration of 450,000 Shares of Common Stock of Cavco
Industries, Inc. under the Cavco Industries, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As Counsel to Cavco Industries, Inc. (the “Corporation”), I am familiar with the Cavco
Industries, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the proposed offer and sale of 450,000
shares (the “Plan Shares”) of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporation pursuant
to the Plan.
I have also made such further investigations as I have deemed necessary to express the
opinions herein stated.
I am of the opinion that the Plan Shares, which are hereafter issued upon exercise or vesting
of options duly granted or restricted stock or stock units duly awarded under and in accordance
with the terms of the Plan, will, upon the payment of the consideration therefore required by the
terms of the Plan, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-8
being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to the Plan Shares, and to any references to me in such Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
James P. Glew
General Counsel
