SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in “Standard Definitions” attached as Annex A to the Indenture.
SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans.
2
(a). Initial Timeshare Loans. On the Closing Date, in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each of the Initial Timeshare Loans, the Seller does hereby 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) the Initial Timeshare Loans listed on Schedule III hereto, (ii) the Receivables in respect of such Initial 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 Initial 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 sale and transfer, the ownership of each Initial 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 Initial 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 Initial Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder shall be borne by the Depositor and its subsequent assignees.
(b). Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare Loan hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, on or by the Closing Date (with respect to any Initial Timeshare Loan) and Bluegreen hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, on or within five Business Days from each Transfer Date (with respect to any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan), to the Custodian, all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.
(c). Collections. The Seller or Bluegreen, as applicable, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of the Initial Timeshare Loans and the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans (together the “Timeshare Loans”) received by the Seller, Bluegreen 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 Credit Card Account (net of the Servicer Credit Card Processing Costs).
(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 the transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale by the Seller or Bluegreen, as applicable, 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, it is the intention
3
of the parties hereto that the Seller and Bluegreen, as applicable, shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of Seller’s and Bluegreen’s, as applicable, right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets or QSTL Assets (as hereinafter defined), as applicable, specified in Section 2 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 the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, 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.
The characterization of the Seller and Bluegreen 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 to the Depositor of the Seller’s and Bluegreen’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Assets and QSTL Assets, respectively.
Each of the Seller, Bluegreen, the Club, the Club Trustee and any of its Affiliates hereby agrees to make the appropriate entries in its general accounting records and 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:

(c). It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the (i) sale of each Timeshare Loan to the Depositor and (ii) any assignment of such Timeshare Loans by the Depositor and shall continue so long as any such
13
Timeshare Loans shall remain outstanding or until such time as such Timeshare Loans are repurchased, purchased or a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan is provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Each of the Seller and Bluegreen acknowledges that it has been advised that the Depositor intends to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to each Timeshare Loan and its rights and remedies under this Agreement to the Issuer.

With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5 which are made to Bluegreen’s Knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a Warehouse Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Depositor or any subsequent assignee thereof, then notwithstanding such lack of Knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such representation or warranty was made (without regard to any Knowledge qualifiers), such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described in Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) hereof.
SECTION6. Repurchases and Substitutions.
(a). Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by Bluegreen from the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 5 hereof (on the date on which such representation or warranty was made) which materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Depositor or any subsequent assignee of the Depositor (including the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) therein, Bluegreen shall within 60 days of receipt of such notice, cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or if the breach relates to a particular Timeshare Loan and is not cured in all material respects (such Timeshare Loan, a “Defective Timeshare Loan”), either (i) repurchase such Defective Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price or (ii) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any. Bluegreen and the Seller acknowledge that the Depositor shall, pursuant to the Sale Agreement sell Timeshare Loans and rights and remedies acquired hereunder to the Issuer and that the Issuer shall pledge such Timeshare Loans and rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Bluegreen and the Seller further acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee will be appointed attorney in fact under the Indenture and may enforce Bluegreen’s repurchase or substitution obligations if Bluegreen has not complied with its repurchase and substitution obligations under this Agreement within the aforementioned 60 day period.
(b). Optional Purchases or Substitutions of Club Loans. The Depositor hereby irrevocably grants Bluegreen an option to repurchase or substitute Original Club Loans it has under the Sale Agreement, the Bluegreen Purchase Agreement and as described in the following sentence. With respect to any Original Club Loans for which the related Obligor has elected to effect and Bluegreen has agreed to effect an Upgrade, Bluegreen will (at its option) either (i) pay the Repurchase Price for such Original Club Loan or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified
14
Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Original Club Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any; provided, however, that Bluegreen’s option to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for an Original Club Loan is limited on any date to (x) 12.5% of the Aggregate Closing Date Collateral Balance less (y) the aggregate Loan Balances of all Original Club Loans previously substituted by Bluegreen on prior Transfer Dates pursuant to this Agreement, the Sale Agreement and/or the Bluegreen Purchase Agreement. Bluegreen shall use its best efforts to exercise its substitution option with respect to Original Club Loans prior to exercise of its repurchase option. To the extent that Bluegreen shall elect to substitute Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for an Original Club Loan, Bluegreen 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 Depositor hereby irrevocably grants Bluegreen an option to repurchase or substitute Defaulted Timeshare Loans it has under the Sale Agreement, the Bluegreen Purchase Agreement and as described in the following sentence. With respect to a Defaulted Timeshare Loan, on any date, Bluegreen will have the option, but not the obligation, to either (i) purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any; provided, however, that Bluegreen’s option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan or to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to the Optional Purchase Limit and the Optional Substitution Limit, respectively. Bluegreen may irrevocably waive its option to purchase or substitute a Defaulted Timeshare Loan by delivering to the Indenture Trustee a Waiver Letter in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
(d). Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. Bluegreen hereby agrees to remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in respect of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts payable during the related Due Period in immediately available funds to the Indenture Trustee to be deposited in the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date for such Due Period in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is replaced pursuant to Sections 6(a), (b) or (c) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.
(e). Schedule of Timeshare Loans. Bluegreen hereby agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased, purchased or substituted, to provide or cause to be provided to the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with an electronic supplement to Schedule III hereto and the Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal and/or substitution of Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.
(f). Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. Pursuant to Section 6(g) hereof, on the related Transfer Date, Bluegreen hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the Timeshare Loan Files relating to the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Indenture
15
Trustee or to the Custodian, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Custodial Agreement. As of such related Transfer Date, Bluegreen does hereby transfer, assign, sell and grant to the Depositor, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of Bluegreen’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Depositor on such Transfer Date, (ii) the Receivables in respect of the Qualified Substitute 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 such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, 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 “QSTL Assets”). Upon such sale, the ownership of each Qualified Substitute 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 6(f) shall immediately vest in the Depositor, its successors and assigns. Bluegreen shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than consolidated federal and state income tax reporting. Bluegreen agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall thereafter be deemed a “Timeshare Loan” for the purposes of this Agreement.
(g). Officer’s Certificate for Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. Bluegreen shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify or cause to be certified in writing to the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Custodian or shall be delivered within five Business Days of the applicable Transfer Date, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Servicer.
(h). Release. In connection with any repurchase, purchase or substitution of one or more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section 6, the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment presented to it by Bluegreen, in each case, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Bluegreen or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such Timeshare Loans; provided, however, that with respect to any release of a Timeshare Loan that is substituted for by one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment until the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer receive a Custodian’s Certification for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan. The Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to Bluegreen or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to Bluegreen 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
16
Servicing File, respectively, until the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer receive a Custodian’s Certification for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.
(i). Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of Bluegreen contained in Section 6(a) hereof to cure a breach, or to repurchase or substitute related Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of Bluegreen to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall constitute the sole remedies available to the Depositor or its subsequent assignees for the breaches of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5 hereof , and such remedies are not intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to Bluegreen.

SECTION 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Bluegreen, the Seller, the Depositor or any assignee thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Depositor and its respective successors and assigns. Any assignee of the Depositor shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to directly enforce this Agreement. Neither the Seller nor Bluegreen may assign any of their rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Depositor and any assignee thereof. The Depositor may, and intends to, assign all of its rights hereunder to the Issuer and each of the Seller and Bluegreen consents to any such assignment. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in
21
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until its termination (or, in the case of the Seller, so long as the Warehouse Notes are outstanding) provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by Bluegreen pursuant to Section 5 hereof, and the repurchase or substitution and indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, but such rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 13. Amendments; Consents and Waivers. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and documents delivered thereto, nor consent to any departure by the Seller or Bluegreen from any of the terms or conditions thereof shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto, the written consent of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders is given and confirmation from each Rating Agency that such action will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned to a Class of Notes is received. The Seller and Bluegreen shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency with such proposed modifications, amendments or waivers. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No consent to or demand by the Seller or Bluegreen in any case shall, in itself, entitle it to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Each of the Seller and Bluegreen acknowledges that in connection with the intended assignment by the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to each Timeshare Loan to the Issuer, the Issuer intends to issue the Notes, the proceeds of which will be used by the Issuer to purchase the Timeshare Loans from the Depositor under the terms of the Sale Agreement.
SECTION 14. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Governmental Authority determines that the Depositor may not purchase or acquire Timeshare Loans, the transactions evidenced hereby shall constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable intent of the parties hereto, and 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 such Timeshare Loans and the related property as described in Section 2 hereof.
SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
