Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, BFC Financial Corporation (the “Company”) holds a 54% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, which owns 100% of Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”). BBX Capital Corporation (“BBX Capital”), in which the Company holds an approximately 53% equity interest, holds the remaining 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.

On December 17, 2013, Bluegreen’s timeshare notes receivable purchase facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (the “Facility”) was amended to provide for maximum outstanding financings of $80.0 million, on a revolving basis through December 17, 2014, secured by timeshare receivables at an advance rate of 70.0%, subject to the terms of the Facility, eligible collateral and terms and conditions believed to be customary for financing arrangements of this type. Prior to the amendment, the Facility provided for maximum outstanding financings of $40.0 million, on a revolving basis through December 17, 2013, secured by timeshare receivables at an advance rate of 67.5%. In connection with the amendment, DZ Bank joined as a participant in the Facility, with all future financings to be funded 50% by Branch Banking and Trust Company and 50% by or through DZ Bank. The Facility will mature and all outstanding amounts will become due thirty-six months after the revolving advance period has expired (such thirty-six month period, the “Term-Out Period”), or earlier under certain circumstances set forth in the Facility. Interest on amounts outstanding under the Facility is tied to the LIBOR rate, in the case of amounts funded by Branch Banking and Trust Company, and a cost of funds rate or commercial paper rates, in the case of amounts funded by or through DZ Bank. The interest rate under the Facility equals the applicable index rate plus 3.5% prior to the commencement of the Term-Out Period and the applicable index rate plus 5.5% during the Term-Out Period. In each case, the index rate is subject to a floor of 0.375%. Prior to the amendment, the LIBOR rate was subject to a floor of 0.75%. Subject to the terms of the Facility, Bluegreen will receive the excess cash flows generated by the receivables sold (excess meaning after payments of customary fees, interest and principal under the Facility) until the commencement of the Term-Out Period, at which point all of the excess cash flow will be paid to the noteholders until the outstanding balance is reduced to zero. While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. The Facility is nonrecourse and is not guaranteed by Bluegreen, Woodbridge, BBX Capital or the Company.

The foregoing description of the amendment to the Facility is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements and other instruments effecting the amendment, which are included as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

(a) On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the holders (the “Preferred Shareholders”) of the Company’s 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), pursuant to which the Company and the Preferred Shareholders agreed to the amendment of certain of the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Preferred Stock which were previously designated by the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to Florida law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”). On December 19, 2013, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Amendment”) to effect the amendments contemplated by the Agreement. Prior to the filing of the Articles of Amendment, the Company was required to redeem 5,000 shares of the Preferred Stock for an aggregate redemption price of $5,000,000 ($1,000 per share) during each of the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, to the extent not previously redeemed pursuant to the Company’s optional redemption right. Pursuant to the Articles of Amendment, the Company’s mandatory redemption obligation with respect to the Preferred Stock for the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was extended until the years ending


December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. In addition, the Articles of Amendment eliminated the right that the Preferred Shareholders previously had, upon a default by the Company on its dividend or redemption obligations with respect to the Preferred Stock, to receive from the Company certain shares of common stock of Bluegreen. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company also agreed to make a $5 million loan to the Preferred Shareholders. The loan is secured by 5,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, has a term of five years, accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provides for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the loan, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at maturity.

The full text of the Articles of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of December 1, 2013, is by and among Bluegreen Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“ Bluegreen ” or a “ Seller ”) and Bluegreen Timeshare Finance Corporation I, a Delaware corporation (the “ Depositor ”) and their respective permitted successors and assigns, hereby amends and restates in its entirety that Certain Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2006, between Bluegreen and the Depositor (as amended from time to time, the “ Original Agreement ”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate in its entirety the Original Agreement as provided herein, and all actions required to do so under the Original Agreement have been taken;

WHEREAS, on the Closing Date, the Depositor, as seller, intends to enter into that certain Amended and Restated Sale Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “ Sale Agreement ”), by and between the Depositor and BXG Timeshare Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “ Issuer ”) pursuant to which the Depositor intends to sell to the Issuer, the timeshare loans acquired by the Depositor from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, on the Closing Date, Bluegreen intends to enter into that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “ Indenture ”), by and among the Issuer, Bluegreen, as servicer (in such capacity, the “ Servicer ”), Vacation Trust, Inc., a Florida corporation, as club trustee (the “ Club Trustee ”), Concord Servicing Corporation, as backup servicer, Branch Banking and Trust Company, a North Carolina corporation (“ BB&T ”), as a funding agent, DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main (“ DZ BANK ”), as a funding agent (each of BB&T and DZ BANK, a “ Funding Agent ” and together the “ Funding Agents ”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “ Indenture Trustee ”), as custodian (in such capacity, the “ Custodian ”) and as paying agent (in such capacity, the “ Paying Agent ”), whereby the Issuer will pledge the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture) to the Indenture Trustee to secure the Issuer’s Timeshare Loan-Backed VFN Notes, Series I (the “ Notes ”);

WHEREAS, (i) the Seller desires to sell, and the Depositor desires to purchase, from time to time, Timeshare Loans originated by the Seller or an Affiliate thereof and (ii) Bluegreen, as the sole shareholder of the Depositor, desires to make a contribution of capital pursuant to the terms hereof;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of (i) the Sale Agreement, the Depositor shall sell to the Issuer any Timeshare Loans acquired from the Seller and (ii) the Indenture, the Issuer shall pledge such Timeshare Loans, as part of the Trust Estate, to the Indenture Trustee to secure the Notes;


WHEREAS, the Seller may, and in certain circumstances will be required, to cure, repurchase or substitute and provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Timeshare Loan that is a Defective Timeshare Loan, previously sold to the Depositor hereunder and pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture; and

WHEREAS, the Depositor may, at the direction of the Seller, be required to exercise the Seller’s option to purchase or substitute Timeshare Loans that become subject to an Upgrade or Defaulted Timeshare Loans previously sold to the Issuer hereunder and pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation . Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the “Sixth Amended and Restated Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A .

SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans and Contribution of Capital to the Depositor .

(a) Timeshare Loans and Contribution of Capital . On each Funding Date, the Seller hereby agrees to (x) sell in part and contribute in part to the Depositor in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Timeshare Loan to be sold on such Funding Date to be paid in part in cash and in part as an increase in its equity ownership of the Depositor and (y) transfer, assign, sell and grant to the Depositor, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) any Timeshare Loans listed on the related Borrowing Notice, (ii) the Receivables in respect of such Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all Related Security in respect of each such Timeshare Loan and (v) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing (the property in clauses (i)-(v), being the “ Assets ”). Upon such contribution, sale and transfer, the ownership of each Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon after the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 2(a) shall immediately vest in the Depositor, its successors and assigns. The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than for federal and state income tax reporting, if applicable. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that the “credit risk” of the Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder shall be borne by the Depositor and its subsequent assignees.

(b) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents . In connection with the contribution, sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Timeshare Loans hereunder, the

 

2


Seller hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, at least five Business Days prior to each Funding Date, to the Custodian all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.

(c) Collections . The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of Timeshare Loans received by the Seller or its Affiliates after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account and, with respect to Credit Card Timeshare Loans, direct each applicable credit card vendor to deposit all payments in respect of such Credit Card Timeshare Loans to the Lockbox Account.

(d) Limitation of Liability . Neither the Depositor nor any subsequent assignee of the Depositor shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Depositor or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Depositor or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.

SECTION 3. Intended Characterization; Grant of Security Interest . It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale, in part, and a capital contribution, in part, by the Seller to the Depositor and not a loan secured by such Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale and contribution (a “ Recharacterization ”), it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets and the QSTL Assets (as hereinafter defined) specified in Section 2 hereof and Section 6(f) hereof, respectively, and the proceeds thereof and that with respect to such transfer, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the event of a Recharacterization, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “ Highest Lawful Rate ”). In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Seller and the Depositor represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by the Seller to the Depositor hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Depositor and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Depositor.

 

3


The characterization of the Seller as “debtor” and the Depositor as “secured party” in any such security agreement and any related financing statements required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this transaction be treated as a sale and contribution to the Depositor of the Seller’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Assets and the QSTL Assets.

Each of the Seller, Club, Club Trustee and any of their Affiliates hereby agrees to make the appropriate entries in its general accounting records to indicate that the Timeshare Loans have been transferred to the Depositor and its subsequent assignees.

SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Depositor . The obligations of the Depositor to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) With respect to each Funding Date for each Timeshare Loan or any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan replacing a Timeshare Loan, all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 5(a) hereof shall be true and correct on such date as if made on such date, and all representations and warranties as to the Timeshare Loans contained in Section 5(b) hereof and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans in respect of each such Timeshare Loan conveyed on such Funding Date shall be true and correct on such Funding Date.

(b) Prior to a Funding Date, the Seller shall have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Custodian and the Custodian shall have delivered a Custodian’s Certification therefor pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Servicer.

(c) The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Depositor to be delivered by the Seller or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of the related Funding Date, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.

(d) On the related Funding Date, the Indenture shall be in full force and effect.

(e) Each of the conditions precedent to a Borrowing under the Indenture and the Note Funding Agreement shall have been satisfied.

(f) Each Timeshare Loan conveyed on a Funding Date shall be an Eligible Timeshare Loan.

(g) Each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan replacing a Timeshare Loan shall satisfy each of the criteria specified in the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and each of the conditions herein and in the Indenture for substitution of Timeshare Loans shall have been satisfied.

 

4


(h) The Depositor shall have received such other certificates and opinions as it shall reasonably request.

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants of the Seller .

(a) The Seller represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, on the Closing Date and on each Funding Date (with respect to any Timeshare Loans or Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans transferred on such Funding Date or Transfer Date) as follows:

(i) Due Incorporation; Valid Existence; Good Standing . It is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any Timeshare Loans.

(ii) Possession of Licenses, Certificates, Franchises and Permits . It holds, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will hold, all licenses, certificates, franchises and permits from all governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its business, and has received no notice of proceedings relating to the revocation of any such license, certificate, franchise or permit, which singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any Timeshare Loans.

(iii) Corporate Authority and Power . It has, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will have, all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business, to execute and deliver this Agreement and all documents and transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder. The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to acquire, own, transfer and convey Timeshare Loans to the Depositor.

(iv) Authorization, Execution and Delivery Valid and Binding . This Agreement and all other Transaction Documents and instruments required or contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by the Seller have been duly

 

5


authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming the due execution and delivery by, the other party or parties hereto and thereto, constitute legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, moratorium and other similar applicable laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally applicable in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution, as applicable, of the Seller and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. This Agreement constitutes a valid transfer of the Seller’s interest in the Timeshare Loans to the Depositor or, in the event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, the valid creation of a first priority perfected security interest in such Timeshare Loans in favor of the Depositor.

(v) No Violation of Law, Rule, Regulation, etc . The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party do not and will not (A) violate any of the provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, (B) violate any provision of any law, governmental rule or regulation currently in effect applicable to it or its properties or by which the Seller or its properties may be bound or affected, including, without limitation, any bulk transfer laws, where such violation would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans, (C) violate any judgment, decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order currently in effect applicable to it or its properties or by which the Seller or its properties are bound or affected, where such violation would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any Timeshare Loans, (D) conflict with, or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound where such violation would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of Timeshare Loans or (E) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument.

(vi) Governmental Consent . No consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or other Governmental Authority in respect of the Seller is required which has not been obtained in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer of Timeshare Loans and the creation of the security interest of the Depositor therein pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

 

6


(vii) Defaults . It is not in default under any agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which it is a party or by which it or its properties is or are bound, or with respect to any order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body, in each case, which would have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereunder or on its business, operations, financial condition or assets, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default with respect to any such agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, or with respect to any such order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body.

(viii) Insolvency . It is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the transfer of any Timeshare Loans hereunder. On and after the Closing Date, it will not engage in any business or transaction the result of which would cause the property remaining with it to constitute an unreasonably small amount of capital.

(ix) Pending Litigation or Other Proceedings . Other than as described on Schedule 5 hereto, there is no pending or, to its Knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body against or affecting it which, if decided adversely, would materially and adversely affect (A) its condition (financial or otherwise), business or operations, (B) its ability to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any other documents or transactions contemplated under this Agreement, (C) any Timeshare Loan or title of any Obligor to any related Timeshare Property pursuant to the applicable Owner Beneficiary Agreement or (D) the Depositor’s or any of its assigns’ ability to foreclose or otherwise enforce the liens of the Mortgage Notes and the rights of the Obligors to use and occupy the related Timeshare Properties pursuant to the applicable Owner Beneficiary Agreement.

(x) Information . No document, certificate or report furnished or required to be furnished by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, in its capacity as Seller, contains or will contain when furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or fails or will fail to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. There are no facts known to the Seller which, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect, or which (aside from general economic trends) may reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect in the future, the financial condition or assets or business of the Seller, or which may impair the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement, which have not been disclosed herein or therein or in the certificates and other documents furnished to the Depositor by or on behalf of the Seller specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the financial statement restatement discussed in the Seller’s December 19, 2005 Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shall not constitute a violation of this Section 5(a)(x).

(xi) Foreign Tax Liability . It is not aware of any Obligor under a Timeshare Loan who has withheld any portion of payments due under such Timeshare Loan because of the requirements of a foreign taxing authority, and no foreign taxing authority has contacted it concerning a withholding or other foreign tax liability.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation . Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the “Sixth Amended and Restated Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A .

SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans .

(a) Timeshare Loans . On each Funding Date, in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Timeshare Loan to be sold on such Funding Date, to be paid in part in cash and in part as an increase in the value of the Residual Interest Certificate held by the Depositor, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, sell and grant to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to (i) any Timeshare Loans listed on the related Borrowing Notice, (ii) the Receivables in respect of such Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all Related Security in respect of each such Timeshare Loan, (v) the Depositor’s rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, its rights with respect to the representations and warranties of the Club Originator therein, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof, including any right to require the Club Originator to cure, repurchase or substitute any Defective Timeshare Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and (vi) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing (the property in clauses (i)-(vi), being the “ Assets ”). Upon such sale and transfer, the ownership of each Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon after the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 2(a) shall immediately vest in the Issuer, its successors and assigns. The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than for federal and state income tax reporting, if applicable. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that the “credit risk” of the Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder shall be borne by the Issuer and its subsequent assignees.

 

2


(b) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents . In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Issuer hereby directs the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, at least five Business Days prior to each Funding Date, to the Custodian all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.

(c) Collections . The Depositor shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of Timeshare Loans received by the Depositor or its Affiliates after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account and, with respect to Credit Card Timeshare Loans, direct each applicable credit card vendor to deposit all payments in respect of such Credit Card Timeshare Loans to the Lockbox Account.

(d) Limitation of Liability . None of the Issuer, the Depositor or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Issuer, the Depositor or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Issuer, the Depositor or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.

SECTION 3. Intended Characterization; Grant of Security Interest . It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer and not a loan secured by such Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale (a “ Recharacterization ”), it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets and the QSTL Assets (as hereinafter defined) specified in Section 2 hereof and Section 6(f) hereof, respectively, and the proceeds thereof and that with respect to such transfer, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the event of a Recharacterization, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “ Highest Lawful Rate ”). In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof. In the case

 

3


of any Recharacterization, each of the Depositor and the Issuer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by the Depositor to the Issuer hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Depositor in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Issuer and the Depositor and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Issuer and the Depositor.

The characterization of the Depositor as “debtor” and the Issuer as “secured party” in any such security agreement and any related financing statements required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this transaction be treated as a sale to the Issuer of the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Assets and the QSTL Assets.

Each of the Depositor, the Club, the Club Trustee and any of their Affiliates hereby agrees to make the appropriate entries in its general accounting records to indicate that the Timeshare Loans have been transferred to the Issuer, pledged to the Indenture Trustee and constitute a part of the Issuer’s estate in accordance with the terms of the Trust created under the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Issuer . The obligations of the Issuer to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(b) Prior to a Funding Date, the Depositor shall have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Custodian and the Custodian shall have delivered a Custodian’s Certification therefor pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Servicer.

(c) The Depositor shall have delivered or caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Issuer to be delivered by the Depositor or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of the related Funding Date, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.

(d) On the related Funding Date, the Indenture shall be in full force and effect.

(e) Each of the conditions precedent to a Borrowing under the Indenture and the Note Funding Agreement shall have been satisfied.

 

4

To the extent that the Club Originator shall elect to substitute Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for an Original Club Loan, the Club Originator shall use its best efforts to cause each such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan to be, in the following order of priority, (i) the Upgrade Club Loan related to such Original Club Loan and (ii) an Upgrade Club Loan unrelated to such Original Club Loan.

(c) Optional Purchases or Substitutions of Defaulted Timeshare Loans . The Issuer acknowledges that pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Depositor has irrevocably granted the Club Originator an option to repurchase or substitute Defaulted Timeshare Loans it has thereunder and as described in the following sentence.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Depositor or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Depositor or its designee; provided , however , that with respect to any Timeshare Loan File or Timeshare Loan Servicing File related to a Timeshare Loan that has been substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not cause the Custodian and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan File and the Timeshare Loan Servicing File, respectively, until the Funding Agents, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer receive a Custodian’s Certification for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.

3


provision of this Indenture, other than any request that (a) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such request, (b) the Indenture Trustee invest moneys in any of the Trust Accounts pursuant to the written directions specified in such request or (c) the Indenture Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer’s assignee specified in such request, the Indenture Trustee shall require the Issuer to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request otherwise is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such requested action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

SECTION 1.3. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee .

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows that the opinion with respect to the matters upon which his/her certificate or opinion is based is erroneous. Any such officer’s certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer as to such factual matters unless such officer or counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters is erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such other counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.1(b) hereof.

 

4


Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such event. For all purposes of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default nor shall the Indenture Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine whether a default has occurred (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in subparagraph (a) of the definition of Event of Default) or Servicer Event of Default has occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Servicer or any secured party.

SECTION 1.4. Acts of Noteholders, etc .

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “ Act ” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

 

5


(d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder for the benefit of such Noteholder; provided , that nothing contained in this Section 1.4(d) shall be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 1.5. Notice to Noteholders; Waiver .

(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, via first class mail, or sent by private courier or confirmed by facsimile to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.5(a) hereof, of any event or any report to Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

SECTION 1.6. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents .

The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 1.7. Successors and Assigns .

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by each of the parties hereto shall bind its respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 1.8. GOVERNING LAW .

THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL

 

6


OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UNLESS MADE APPLICABLE IN A SUPPLEMENT HERETO, THIS INDENTURE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL NOT BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH .

indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless (which security and indemnity shall be provided by a Funding Agent with respect to its Note and to the extent such loss or theft occurs while it holds such Note on behalf of its Purchaser Group), then, in the absence of actual notice to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note affected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Noteholders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

SECTION 6.14. Undertaking for Costs .

All parties to this Indenture agree (and each Noteholder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.14 shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) to any suit instituted by any Noteholder or the Required Noteholders, or (iii) to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the maturities for such payments, including the Stated Maturity, as applicable.

SECTION 6.16. Sale of Trust Estate .

(a) The power to effect the sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid or losses allocated thereto and borne thereby. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with Section 6.12 hereof, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.

(b) Unless required by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not sell to a third party the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof except as permitted under Section 6.3(e) hereof.

SECTION 6.17. Action on Notes .

The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 2.4. Indemnification . (a) Bluegreen (the “ Indemnitor ”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Funding Agent and each Purchaser and any shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates thereof, of the Funding Agents or Purchasers (each such Person being referred to as an “ Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) which such Indemnitee may incur (or which may be claimed against such Indemnitee) arising out of, by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery of, or payment or other performance under, or the failure to make payments or perform under, any Transaction Document or the issuance of the Notes (including in connection with the preparation for defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with such execution, delivery, payment, performance or issuance), except (i) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense shall be caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith, recklessness or gross negligence of, or breach of any representation or warranty in any Transaction Document by, the Indemnitee requesting indemnification, (ii) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense is covered or addressed by subsection 2.3(c) or (d) hereof, (iii) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense relates to disclosure made by a Funding Agent requesting indemnification or a Purchaser requesting indemnification in connection with an Assignment or Participation pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof which disclosure is not based on information given to such Funding Agent or such Purchaser by or on behalf of Bluegreen, or any affiliate thereof or by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or (iv) to the extent that such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense shall be caused by any default in payment of any Timeshare Loan. The foregoing indemnity shall include any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to which any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or other federal or state law or regulation arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any disclosure document relating to the Notes or any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, in any case, provided or approved by the Issuer (other than statements provided by the Indemnitee requesting indemnification expressly for inclusion therein) or arising out of, or based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading (other than with respect to statements provided by the Indemnitee expressly for

 

- 6 -


inclusion therein). For the avoidance of doubt, no Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.4 in respect of any Taxes or Excluded Taxes (each as defined in Section 6.3 hereof), the indemnification of which is addressed exclusively in Section 6.3 hereof.

(b) Promptly after the receipt by an Indemnitee of a notice of the commencement of any action against an Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will notify the Funding Agents and the Funding Agents will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnitor pursuant to subsection 2.4(a) hereof, notify such Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify such party will not relieve such party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee pursuant to the preceding paragraph except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. If any such action is brought against an Indemnitee and it notifies an Indemnitor of its commencement, such Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it so elects by delivering written notice to the Indemnitee promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the Indemnitee to assume the defense of any such action, with a single counsel mutually satisfactory to such Indemnitor and each affected Indemnitee. After receipt of such notice by an Indemnitor from an Indemnitee, such Indemnitor will not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such action. Each Indemnitee will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of the such Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel by such Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by such Indemnitor, (ii) such Indemnitor shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel, (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and either an Indemnitor or another person or entity that may be entitled to indemnification from an Indemnitor (by virtue of this Section 2.4 or otherwise) and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitee which are different from or additional to those available to an Indemnitor or such other party or shall otherwise have reasonably determined that the co-representation would present such counsel with a conflict of interest (in which case the Indemnitor will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee). In any such case described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitor; it being understood that in no event shall the Indemnitors be liable for the fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnitees in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the written consent of an Indemnitor or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Agreement from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or reasonable expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnitor shall, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, if such settlement, compromise or consent includes an admission of culpability or wrong-doing on the part of such Indemnitee or the entry or an order, injunction or other equitable or nonmonetary

 

- 7 -


relief (including any administrative or other sanctions or disqualifications) against such Indemnitee or if such settlement, compromise or consent does not include an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(c) The obligations of Bluegreen under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the lack of validity or enforceability of, or any modification to, any Transaction Document nor the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other than a defense of payment) or other right which Bluegreen may have at any time against a Funding Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person, whether in connection with any Transaction Document or any unrelated transactions, shall constitute a defense to such obligations.

Section 2.5. Funding Termination Event . If any Funding Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, (a) if such event is a Funding Termination Event specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (d) of the definition thereof or paragraphs (d) and (e) of the definition of Event of Default, the Commitment of each Bank Purchaser shall automatically be reduced to zero, and (b) if such event is any other Funding Termination Event, with the consent of the Required Purchasers, the Funding Agents may, or upon the request of the Required Purchasers, the Funding Agents shall, by notice to the Issuer, reduce the Commitments of each Bank Purchaser to zero, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately be reduced to zero.

Section 2.6. Notification of Note Rate .

(a) On the third Business Day immediately preceding each Determination Date, each Funding Agent shall calculate the related Note Rate in order to estimate the allocable portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for the related upcoming Payment Date applicable to its Notes for the applicable Interest Accrual Period and shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer of such rate and amount by written notice. Such rate and amount shall be calculated using an estimate of the applicable Note Rate, if necessary, for the remaining days in such Interest Accrual Period. The Funding Agents shall consult with the Conduit Purchasers in the determination of the CP Note Rate.

(b) On or before the third Business Day immediately preceding each Determination Date, if a Funding Agent shall have used an estimate of the applicable Note Rate in order to calculate the Interest Distribution Amount with respect to the immediately preceding Payment Date, such Funding Agent shall compute the actual related Note Rate and Interest Distribution Amount applicable to the Notes for the Interest Accrual Period related to such immediately preceding Payment Date, and if the actual Interest Distribution Amount so computed (i) is greater than the estimated Interest Distribution Amount for such preceding Interest Accrual Period, the Interest Distribution Amount so calculated for the upcoming Payment Date shall be increased by the amount of such difference (such difference, the “ Conduit Component Shortfall ”) and (ii) is less than the estimated Interest Distribution Amount for such preceding Interest Accrual Period, the Interest Distribution Amount so calculated for the upcoming Payment Date shall be decreased by the amount of such difference.

SECTION VI. INCREASED COSTS, INCREASED CAPITAL, TAXES, ETC.

Section 6.1. Increased Costs . Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof, if, due to either (a) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or the imposition of any guideline of any accounting board or authority (whether or not part of government) which is responsible for the establishment or interpretation of national or international accounting principles, in each case whether foreign or domestics, including, without limitation, any Change in Law or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), after the Closing Date, there shall be an increase in the cost to the Funding Agent or any Purchaser (each of which shall be an “ Affected Party ”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any investment in the Notes or any interest therein or of agreeing to purchase or invest in the Notes or any interest therein, or to provide liquidity or credit support to a Conduit Purchaser, as the case may be (other than by reason of any interpretation of or change in laws or regulations relating to Taxes (as defined in Section 6.3 below) or Excluded Taxes (as defined in Section 6.3 below)), the Issuer shall, upon written demand by such Affected Party (with a copy to the

 

- 25 -


Funding Agents), direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to pay to such Affected Party that portion of such increased costs incurred which such Affected Party reasonably determines is attributable to making, funding or maintaining any investment in the Notes or any interest therein or agreeing to purchase or invest in the Notes or any interest therein or to provide liquidity or credit support to a Conduit Purchaser, as the case may be. In determining such amount, such Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and attribution methods generally used by such Affected Party in determining amounts of this type. A certificate as to such increased costs incurred submitted to the Issuer and the Funding Agents, setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be prima facie evidence as to the amount of such increased costs. Any Affected Party that incurs such increased costs as described in this Section 6.1 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take such steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such increased costs; provided that no such steps shall be required to be taken if, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Party, such steps would be disadvantageous to such Affected Party. Each Funding Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to give notice to the Issuer and Bluegreen of any Change in Law or the imposition of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority after the Closing Date, that would increase the costs to a Purchaser for which the Funding Agent has actual knowledge.

Section 6.2. Increased Capital . Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof, if either (a) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, directive or request, including, without limitation, any Change in Law or (b) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law) or any guideline of any accounting board or authority (whether or not part of government) which is responsible for the establishment or interpretation of national or international accounting principles, in each case whether foreign or domestic, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, but excluding, in all cases, any interpretation, application or change in law relating to Taxes (as defined in Section 6.3 below) or Excluded Taxes (as defined in Section 6.3 below), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party after the Closing Date, as a consequence of (i) the existence of such Affected Party’s agreement to make or maintain an investment in the Notes or any interest therein or to provide liquidity or credit support to a Conduit Purchaser or (ii) the existence of any agreement by such Affected Party to make or maintain an investment in the Notes or any interest therein or to fund any such investment or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, from time to time, upon written demand by such Affected Party (with a copy to the Funding Agents), the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to pay to the Affected Party, such additional amounts as specified by such Affected Party, sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocated to the existence of such Affected Party’s agreements described in clause (i) or (ii) above. In determining such amounts, such Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and distribution methods generally used by such Affected Party in determining amounts of this type. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Issuer by

 

- 26 -


such Affected Party setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so owed. Any Affected Party that is entitled to compensation for increases in capital as described in this Section 6.2 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take such steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such compensation; provided that no such steps shall be required to be taken if, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Party, such steps would be disadvantageous to such Affected Party. Each Funding Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to give notice to the Issuer and Bluegreen of any Change in Law or the imposition of any guidance or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority after the Closing Date, that would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by a Purchaser for which the Funding Agent has actual knowledge.

Section 6.3. Taxes . (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under the Indenture to or for the benefit of a Purchaser shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed on, or measured by reference to, the net income of such Purchaser, franchise taxes imposed on such Purchaser, and taxes (other than withholding taxes), levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed on the receipt or gross receipts of such Purchaser by any of (i) the United States or any State thereof, (ii) the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Purchaser is organized, with which it has a present or former connection (other than solely by reason of this Agreement), or in which it is otherwise doing business or (iii) any political subdivision thereof (all such excluded items being referred to as “ Excluded Taxes ” and all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities other than Excluded Taxes being referred to as “ Taxes ”). If the Indenture Trustee, as directed by a Funding Agent, shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum required to be paid or deposited hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder to or for the benefit of a Purchaser (A) subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.3 and Section 6.4 hereof, such sum shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums required to be paid or deposited under this Section 6.3) the amount received by such Purchaser, or otherwise deposited hereunder or under such instrument, shall be equal to the sum which would have been so received or deposited had no such deductions been made, (B) the Indenture Trustee, as directed by a Funding Agent, shall make such deductions and (C) the Indenture Trustee, as directed by a Funding Agent, shall pay the full amount of such deductions to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable laws.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.3 and Section 6.4 hereof, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to indemnify each Purchaser for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 6.3) paid by such Purchaser due to the modification of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration by any governmental or regulatory agency or body charged with the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation relating to Taxes after the Closing Date (including penalties, interest and expenses) and arising therefrom or required to be paid with respect thereto. Each Purchaser agrees to promptly notify its Funding Agent and the Issuer of any payment of such Taxes made by it for which it is entitled to indemnification

 

- 27 -


hereunder and, if practicable, any request, demand or notice received in respect thereof prior to such payment. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to payment of this indemnification within 30 days from the date such Purchaser makes written demand therefor to its Funding Agent and the Issuer. A certificate as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to its Funding Agent and the Issuer by such Purchaser setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so owed.

(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Indenture Trustee will furnish to the Funding Agents the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(d)

(i) Each Purchaser and each Funding Agent that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, or, in the case of an Assignee, the effective date of the applicable Assignment, deliver to the Issuer, each Funding Agent and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Purchaser) and to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (in the case each Funding Agent) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto).

(ii) Each Purchaser (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Assignee thereof) and each Funding Agent, in each case, that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or a state thereof hereby agrees to complete, execute and deliver to the Issuer, each Funding Agent and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of a Purchaser or Assignee) and to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of each Funding Agent) from time to time prior to the date on which such Purchaser or Funding Agent will be entitled to receive distributions pursuant to the Indenture or this Agreement, executed Internal Revenue Service W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY (with all required associated documentation) (or any successor forms), as applicable, or such other forms or certificates as may be required under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction in order to permit the Indenture Trustee to make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Purchaser or Funding Agent hereunder and under the Indenture and this Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax or to otherwise establish the applicable rate of deduction or withholding.

(iii) Each Purchaser and Funding Agent agrees to provide, to the extent permitted by law, like additional subsequent duly executed forms on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, or upon the occurrence of any event requiring an amendment, resubmission or change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and to provide such extensions or renewals as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer. Each Purchaser and Funding Agent further agrees that compliance with this subsection 6.3(d) (including by reason of Section 8.1 hereof in the case of any assignment, sale or other transfer of any interest in the Notes) is a condition to the payment of any amount otherwise due pursuant to subsections 6.3(a) and (b) hereof.

In addition, any third party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection with the obligations described in the immediately preceding sentence for which the Depositor and the Trust Owner shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of the Depositor’s obligations under this paragraph. The obligations of the Depositor under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the Residual Interest Certificate described in Section 3.05 hereof.

(b) The Trust Owner, solely by virtue of its being the Certificateholder of the Trust Certificate, shall not have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust.

Section 2.08. Title to Trust Property .

Legal title to the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in an Owner Trustee or Owner Trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

Neither the Trust Owner nor the Residual Interest Owner shall have legal title to any part of the Trust Estate or any interest in specific property comprising the Trust Estate. No transfer by operation of law or otherwise of any interest of the Trust Owner or the Residual Interest Owner shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust hereunder or entitle any transferee to any accounting or to the transfer to it of any part of the Trust Estate. No creditor of the Trust Owner or the Residual Interest Owner shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to any property of the Trust. The Trust Owner’s beneficial non-economic interest in the Trust shall be personal property notwithstanding the nature of any property of the Trust.

The Trust Certificate must at all times be held by either the Trust Owner or its transferee as sole owner and does not represent an economic interest in the Trust. The Residual Interest Certificate constitutes the entire residual economic interest in the Trust (after payments to the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents) and must at all times be held by the Depositor or its transferee. The parties hereto agree not to take any action inconsistent with such intended federal and applicable state and local income tax treatment. Because for federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity separate from the Residual Interest Owner, items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Trust for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated entirely to the Depositor (or, if the Residual Interest Certificate is transferred, the subsequent holder of the Residual Interest Certificate) as the sole owner of the residual economic interest in the Trust.

Section 2.12. Covenants of the Depositor and Trust Owner .

The Depositor and the Trust Owner agree and covenant (severally, as applicable) that during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:

(a) in the event that any litigation with claims in excess of $25,000 to which the Depositor is a party which shall be reasonably likely to result in a material judgment against the Depositor that the Depositor will not be able to satisfy shall be commenced, during the period beginning immediately following the commencement of such litigation and continuing until such litigation is dismissed or otherwise terminated (and, if such litigation has resulted in a final judgment against the Depositor, such judgment has been satisfied), the Depositor shall not pay any dividend to its Affiliates, or make any distribution on or in respect of its capital stock to its Affiliates, or repay the principal amount of any indebtedness of the Depositor held by its Affiliates, unless after giving effect to such payment, distribution or repayment, the Depositor’s liquid assets shall not be less than the amount of actual damages claimed in such litigation;

(b) neither the Depositor nor the Trust Owner shall, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to the bankruptcy of the Trust, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of the property of the Trust or cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing the inability of the Trust to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on the debt of the Trust or take any action in furtherance of any such action;

(e) it shall not, for any reason, withdraw or attempt to withdraw from this Agreement, dissolve, institute proceedings for it to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of it or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action; and

(f) it shall not transfer the Trust Certificate (in the case of the Trust Owner) or the Residual Interest Certificate (in the case of the Depositor) unless the transferee agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, paragraph (b) above, and, in the case of the Trust Owner, shall only transfer the Trust Certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and, in the case of the Depositor, shall only transfer the Residual Interest Certificate in accordance with Section 3.05.

Section 2.13. Separateness of Trust .

The Depositor, the Trust Owner and the Owner Trustee agree and covenant (severally, as applicable) that during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:

(a) The Trust shall maintain its chief executive office and a telephone number separate from that of any Controlling Entity (as hereinafter defined) and shall conspicuously identify such office as its office.

(f) All customary formalities regarding the existence of the Trust shall be observed.

(g) All business transactions entered into by the Trust with any Controlling Entity shall be on such terms and conditions (including terms relating to amounts paid under such transactions) as would be generally available in comparable transactions if such business transactions were with an entity that was not a Controlling Entity and shall be approved by the Indenture Trustee.

(h) Except as provided in Section 2.03 hereof, the Trust shall not guarantee or assume or hold itself out or permit itself to be held out as having guaranteed or assumed any liabilities or obligations of a Controlling Entity or any other person or entity.

(i) Other than organizational expenses, the Trust shall pay its own liabilities, indebtedness and obligations of any kind, including all administrative expenses, from its own separate assets in accordance with the provisions hereunder and in the Indenture.

(j) Assets of the Trust shall be separately identified, maintained and segregated. The Trust’s assets shall at all times be held by or on behalf of the Trust and, if held on behalf of the Trust by another entity (including any Controlling Entity), shall be kept identifiable (in accordance with customary usages) as assets owned by the Trust.

As defined herein, “ Controlling Entity ” means any entity (A) which beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the outstanding Certificates of Trust, (B) of which 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any entity described in clause (A) above, or (C) which otherwise controls or otherwise is controlled by or otherwise is under common control with any person or entity described in clause (A) above; provided , however , for purposes of this definition, the terms “control,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any such act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Funding Agents.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts hall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.
