2. The Receivables Loan.
2.1 Loan Amount. Subject to the other provisions and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender (severally, but not jointly) agrees, from time to time during the Receivables Loan Advance Period, to make its Pro Rata Share of Advances under the Receivables Loan to Borrower in amounts equal to the lesser of: (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the unpaid principal balance of Qualified Timeshare Loans included within the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in connection with such requested Advance, or (b) the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at no time shall Agent or any Lender be required to make additional Advances to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement if, after giving effect to any such Advance, the result is either that (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan exceeds the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount in the aggregate at any time, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan owed to any Lender (or its participant), exceeds such Lender’s Commitment Amount.
2.2 Advances.
(a) Revolving Credit. The Advances to be made under this Agreement are part of a revolving credit facility. To the extent repaid, amounts advanced by Agent and Lenders to Borrower may be reborrowed, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Although the aggregate amount of all Advances made under this Agreement may exceed the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount, the outstanding principal balance of such Advances may at no time exceed the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount.
20
(b) Restrictions on Loan Advances. No Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advance under the Receivables Loan at such time that the Commitment Amount of any other Lender would be insufficient for such Lender to fund its Pro-Rata Share of such Advance. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such limitation will be applicable notwithstanding that a Lender may otherwise be obligated to make such Advance under any other terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(c) Other Restrictions on Receivables Loan Advances. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make an Advance under the Receivables Loan (i) more often than twice during any calendar month, (ii) in an amount less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), (iii) pursuant to a Request for Receivables Loan Advance received after the expiration of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, or (iv) after the occurrence of an Incipient Default or an Event of Default.
(d) Additional Restrictions on Receivables Loan Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Advance (i) under the Receivables Loan in an amount which would cause the aggregate outstanding balance of the Receivables Loan to exceed $50,000,000; (ii) under the Receivables Loan in an amount which would cause the outstanding principal balance of Liberty Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Receivables Loan to exceed $50,000,000; or (iii) under the Receivables Loan which would cause Agent or any Lender or any participant in the Receivables Loan to violate or continue to violate any legal lending limit.
(e) Other Limitations. Advances under the Receivables Loan shall also be subject to the following exceptions and limitations:
(i) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in subsections (p) and (r) of the definition of Qualified Timeshare Loan, Timeshare Loans which otherwise satisfy the criteria of a Qualified Timeshare Loan but which involve a Purchaser who is not a resident of the United States or Canada (“Non-Resident Timeshare Loans”) may be considered Qualified Timeshare Loans, provided that, (A) payment of such Non-Resident Timeshare Loan must be made by the Purchaser under an “auto pay” program via a major credit card, pre-authorized checking or ACH payment, in United States dollars; and (B) at any time thereafter not more than 10% of the then outstanding principal balance of all Qualified Timeshare Loans included in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and against which Agent and Lenders have made Advances may be comprised of such Non-Resident Timeshare Loans and No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans, collectively. The Purchasers under such Non-Resident Timeshare Loans shall not be required to have a FICO Score and accordingly, Non-Resident Timeshare Loans shall not also be deemed to be No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans.
(ii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in subsection (p) of the definition of Qualified Timeshare Loan, Timeshare Loans which otherwise satisfy the criteria of a Qualified Timeshare Loan but involve (A) a Purchaser with a FICO Score less than 600 but equal to or greater than 575, provided that, for Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans originated on or after December 15, 2008, and (B) a downpayment (including (1) cash “at the table”, (2) the aggregate sum of principal payments paid by a Purchaser under its promissory note for such Unit at the time of such assignment, and (3) paid-in equity) of at least 20% of the Purchase Price (“Low FICO Score Timeshare Loans”) may be considered Qualified Timeshare Loans, provided that, at any one time not more than 10% of the then outstanding principal balance of all Qualified Timeshare Loans included in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans may consist of such Low FICO Score Timeshare Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.2(e), the credit of any Purchaser whose Timeshare Loan is submitted to Agent as security as provided in this Section 2.2(e) may be rejected by Agent if such Purchaser’s Evidence of FICO Score (as submitted as part of the Consumer Documents for such Purchaser) reflects a bankruptcy filing which has not been dismissed or discharged as noted therein.
21
(iii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in subsection (p) of the definition of Qualified Timeshare Loan, Timeshare Loans which otherwise satisfy the criteria of a Qualified Timeshare Loan but involve a Purchaser for whom no FICO Score is submitted by Borrower (“No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans”) may be considered Qualified Timeshare Loans, provided that, at any time thereafter not more than 10% of the then outstanding principal balance of all Qualified Timeshare Loans included in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and against which Agent and Lenders have made Advances may be comprised of such No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans and Non-Resident Timeshare Loans, collectively.
(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (z) of the definition of Qualified Timeshare Loan, Timeshare Loans which otherwise satisfy the criteria of a Qualified Timeshare Loan but which involve the financed sale of a Timeshare Interest in a Unit in a Non-Primary Project (“Non-Primary Project Timeshare Loans”) may be considered Qualified Timeshare Loans, provided that, at any time thereafter not more than 25% of the then outstanding principal balance of all Qualified Timeshare Loans included in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and against which Agent and Lenders have made Advances may be comprised of such Non-Primary Project Timeshare Loans.
(v) The minimum weighted average FICO Score of all Qualified Timeshare Loans included in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans (excluding No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans and Non-Resident Timeshare Loans) shall be at least 680.
(vi) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (g) of the definition of Qualified Timeshare Loan, the weighted average interest rate for all of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall not be less than 14% per annum.
If the percentage limitations described in subsections (i)-(iv) above are exceeded, the excess amount of such Non-Resident Timeshare Loans, Low FICO Score Timeshare Loans, No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans and Non-Primary Project Timeshare Loans in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, shall not be deemed to be Qualified Timeshare Loans. In addition, in the event that the weighted average FICO Score for all of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans (excluding No-FICO Score Timeshare Loans and Non-Resident Timeshare Loans) is less than 680, Agent may exclude from the category of Qualified Timeshare Loan any Timeshare Loans with a FICO Score below 680 as may be necessary to result in compliance with such weighted average FICO Score requirement. In addition, in the event that the weighted average interest rate for all of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans is less than 14% per annum, Agent may exclude from the category of Qualified Timeshare Loans any Timeshare Loans with interest rates below 14% per annum as may be necessary to result in compliance with such 14% per annum minimum weighted average interest rate requirement.
22
(f) Method of Funding. The funding of Advances shall be in accordance with such procedures as Agent may require, including without limitation, disbursement through an escrow agent acceptable to Agent. In connection with any wire transfer, Borrower will pay Agent’s and any Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses for such wire transfers.
2.3 Requests for Advance. Each Advance (other than a supplementary Advance pursuant to Section 2.5 below) shall be pursuant to a Request for Receivables Loan Advance submitted to Agent (or a servicer designated by Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with appropriate insertions and duly executed on behalf of Borrower, together with all required supporting documentation as described therein. Other conditions for the funding of Receivables Loan Advances are set forth in various other sections of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 7.2, 20, 21 and 22.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent and Lenders to advance sums under this Agreement to Agent and Lenders to pay fees, costs, expenses and other obligations owed by Borrower under the Loan Documents without requiring Agent to have received any Request for Receivables Loan Advance or other related documents.
2.4 Limitation on Amount of Advances. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make an Advance which would cause the total of Advances at any one time outstanding to exceed any limitation set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.2 or any other limitation set forth in this Agreement.
2.5 Supplementary Advances. In the event that the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan is less than 85% of the outstanding principal balance of all Qualified Timeshare Loans included within the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, then Borrower may request supplementary Advances in an amount equal to such 85% limitation, provided that (a) Borrower submits to Agent a Request for Supplementary Advance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, and (b) Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make such supplementary Advances (i) more often than once every calendar month, (ii) in an amount less than $100,000, (iii) after the expiration of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, (iv) after the occurrence but only during the continuance of an Incipient Default or an Event of Default, (v) which would cause the aggregate balances of all outstanding Advances to exceed the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount, or (vi) which would result in a violation of any of the limitations set forth in Section 2.2.
2.6 Loan Account. Agent will open and maintain on its books a Loan Account (the “Loan Account”) with respect to Advances made, repayments, the computation and payment of interest and fees and the computation and final payment of all other amounts due and sums paid to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and with respect to the Receivables Loan. Except in the case of manifest error in computation, the Loan Account will be conclusive and binding on Borrower as to the amount at any time due to Agent and Lenders from Borrower or to any Lender from Agent under this Agreement or the Receivables Loan Notes as an account stated, except to the extent that (i) Agent receives a written notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions of Borrower thereto within forty-five (45) days after the date the applicable Loan Account statement has been delivered to Borrower or (ii) Agent receives written notice from any Lender of any specific exceptions of such Lender thereto within twenty (20) days after the date the applicable Loan Account statement has been mailed by Agent.
23
2.7 Receivables Loan Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay amounts advanced under the Receivables Loan and all interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Receivables Loan Notes.
2.8 Amounts in Excess of Maximum Receivables Loan Amount. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund amounts in excess of the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount from time to time to pay accrued and unpaid interest to correct or cure any Incipient Default or Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the correcting or curing by Agent and Lenders of an Incipient Default or Event of Default shall not cure the Incipient Default or Event of Default under this Agreement. Such excess amounts funded shall be deemed evidenced by the Receivables Loan Notes to the fullest extent possible and then by this Agreement, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall also be secured by the Collateral, and all other security and collateral for the Receivables Loan. Borrower hereby agrees to execute additional notes, Assignments and other additional Loan Documents, and modifications thereto, promptly upon request by Agent, in favor of Agent and Lenders, evidencing and securing amounts funded in excess of the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount.
2.9 Use of Proceeds. Advances under the Receivables Loan will be used by Borrower for working capital, general corporate and other proper business purposes of Borrower.
2.10 Closing. The Closing under this Agreement shall take place effective as of the Closing Date at such place as Agent may require, provided that all conditions for Closing have been completed.
2.11 Purposely Omitted.
2.12 Allocation of Pledged Timeshare Loans Among Lenders. Borrower agrees that in allocating which Timeshare Loans to assign to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, under this Agreement, Borrower shall not adversely select to allocate to Agent otherwise Qualified Timeshare Loans based on Project location, in a proportion materially different from Borrower’s other lenders.
3. Loan Administration.
3.1 Receivables Loan Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance. Agent agrees to give each Lender prompt written notice (which may be by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission) of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an Advance together with such supporting materials as Agent customarily provides, which notice and supporting materials shall be given to each Lender by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Advance and will specify the amount to be funded by such Lender and the proposed funding date. Provided that such notice and supporting materials are timely received by a Lender as provided above, such Lender will make such arrangements as are necessary to assure that such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance is made available to Agent (in U.S. Dollars) no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the funding date.
24
3.2 Several Obligations of Lenders. Each Lender is severally bound by this Agreement. There shall be no joint obligations of Lenders under this Agreement. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. The Pro Rata Share of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. The failure of any Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance under this Agreement shall not excuse any other Lender from its obligations to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance.
3.3 Permitted Assumptions by Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the requested funding date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available to Agent on the requested funding date of such Advance. Agent may in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance.
(a) Subject to the terms of the Agency Agreement, if a Lender has not or does not make available to Agent the full amount of its Pro Rata Share of any Advance required to be funded under the Loans on the requested funding date specified by Agent as provided in Section 3.1 above, and such Lender has not notified the Agent of such Lender’s intention not to fund pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.3, Agent may advance such corresponding amount of such Advance, and accrue interest thereon for its own account, at the interest rate set forth for the Receivables Loan, for each day from the date such principal amount is made available to Borrower until the date such principal amount (together with such accrued interest) is repaid by such Lender (or Borrower as further provided below) to Agent. If such Lender shall reimburse Agent for the principal amount advanced by Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence with interest as provided above, upon such reimbursement such principal amount shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance under the Receivables Loan for all purposes of this Agreement and any interest in respect of such principal paid by Borrower shall be for such Lender’s account. The failure of any Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to fund its respective Pro Rata Share of the Advance on the funding date, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender.
(b) If Agent advances any funds pursuant to Section 3.3 in respect of another Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and the relevant Lender does not reimburse the Agent as provided in subsection (a) above or pursuant to the terms of any agreement among Agent and Lenders, any interest paid on such amount by Borrower hereunder, for the period commencing on the date such amount was made available by the Agent until the date the relevant Lender (or Borrower as further provided in subsection (a) above) reimburses Agent, shall be paid to Agent and not such Lender and, in addition, such Lender shall pay Agent any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith. In addition, if a Lender has failed to fund its Pro Rata Share of Advances hereunder in a timely fashion (after receipt of the items required under Section 3.1), such Lender shall also pay to Agent a $3,500.00 fee (the “Processing Fee”) to compensate Agent for its efforts in connection therewith. Such payment shall be retained by Agent for its own account. Borrower shall have no liability for any Processing Fee or other out-of-pocket costs or expenses payable to Agent under this Section 3.3(b).
25
(c) In the event that, at any time a Lender fails or refuses to fund its Pro Rata Share of an Advance as required under this Agreement or any other agreement among Agent and Lenders, such Lender, after two (2) Business Days from the date it shall have received notice from Agent that its Pro Rata Share of such Advance is past due and has not been received, shall be deemed to be a “Defaulting Lender”. Until such time as such Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of such Advance (which late funding shall not absolve such Defaulting Lender from any liability it may have), such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote regarding or to approve any issue on which voting or approval is required or advisable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the amount of the Pro Rata Share of such Advance of such Lender shall not be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining any matters or actions as to which such Lender would otherwise be entitled to vote or to direct the Agent to act on its behalf under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In addition, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to any Defaulting Lender, in the event that (a) the Defaulting Lender did not, pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.3, notify the Agent of its intention not to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance, and (b) the Agent has, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.3, advanced funds in respect of the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance (a “Section 3.3 Advance”), and (c) the Agent has not been reimbursed the Section 3.3 Advance (including all accrued interest and fees) by the Defaulting Lender or by the Borrower or by any other means, then, the Agent shall apply any payments (including principal, interest and fees) made by or for Borrower to Agent or otherwise received by Agent (including as a result of realization upon a sale of any Collateral) for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit against such Section 3.3 Advance until such Section 3.3 Advance (plus all accrued interest and fees) is repaid in full, and thereafter such amounts shall be paid to the Defaulting Lender in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Receivables Loan.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other remedies against a Defaulting Lender, if a Defaulting Lender fails to make available to Agent the full amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Advance required to be made under the Loan within five (5) Business Days after the date it shall have received notice from Agent that its Pro Rata Share of the Advance has not been received, Borrower or Agent may require that such Defaulting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement, such Defaulting Lender’s Receivables Loan Note and each other Loan Document to Agent or to a Eligible Transferee identified by Borrower (with the consent of Agent) or by Agent (with the consent of Borrower), subject to the following:
(i) such proposed Eligible Transferee shall agree to assume all of the obligations of the transferor Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, for consideration equal to the outstanding principal of such transferor Defaulting Lender’s share of the Receivables Loan, together with interest thereon to the date of such transfer;
26
(ii) satisfactory arrangements shall be made for payment to such transferor Defaulting Lender of all other amounts payable hereunder (including the outstanding principal amount of the Receivables Loan of the Defaulting Lender, all accrued interest owed to the Defaulting Lender, and all accrued fees which have then been earned by and are owed to the Defaulting Lender), provided that, in the event that any transfer is made pursuant to this subparagraph (d), Agent shall be entitled to an amount equal to the Processing Fee payable by the transferor Defaulting Lender, which shall be deducted from the consideration payable to the transferor Defaulting Lender by the Eligible Transferee and shall be paid by the Eligible Transferee to Agent;
(iii) the transferor Defaulting Lender agrees to pay the Eligible Transferee the Eligible Transferee’s Pro Rata Share of fees which the transferor Defaulting Lender has received related to this Agreement. This Pro Rata Share of the fees may be deducted from the consideration payable to the transferor Defaulting Lender by the Eligible Transferee;
(iv) Other than as expressly set forth herein, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which Borrower, Agent or any other Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder; and
(e) In the event a Defaulting Lender cures to the satisfaction of Agent all outstanding breaches which caused such Lender to become a Defaulting Lender and Agent has received the Processing Fee, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.
4. Interest Rate.
4.1 Primary Interest Rate. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance at the Receivables Loan Interest Rate.
4.2 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan Notes and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents at a rate (the “Default Rate”) which is four (4) percentage points higher than the rate provided in Section 4.1. Any judgment obtained for sums due under the Receivables Loan Notes or other Obligations under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Default Rate is reasonable in light of the increased risk of collection after occurrence of an Event of Default.
27
4.3 Calculation of Interest. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and charged upon the actual number of days elapsed. Interest will accrue on balances as of the date Agent or any Lender wire such funds to Borrower.
4.4 Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. Agent, Lenders and Borrower intend to comply at all times with Applicable Usury Laws. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Applicable Usury Law (including the applicable choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrower. Such refund may be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any outstanding Obligations, applied in such order as Agent may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the outstanding Obligations, the portion exceeding the outstanding Obligations will be refunded by Agent and Lenders. Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any Event of Default. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by Applicable Usury Law, any non-principal payment, including, without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.
All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness incurred by Borrower hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the term of such indebtedness until payment in full, so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to the Receivables Loan.
5. Fees.
5.1 Receivables Loan Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent a Receivables Loan fee equal to $400,000 (the “Receivables Loan Fee”) which is due and payable on the Closing Date. This Receivables Loan Fee is fully earned by Agent and shall not be refundable in whole or in part, notwithstanding that the full Maximum Receivables Loan Amount is not advanced, unless the full Maximum Receivables Loan Amount is not advanced as described in the second paragraph of this Section 5.1. Agent is irrevocably authorized to advance the sums necessary to pay such Receivables Loan Fee to itself from the proceeds of any Advance under the Receivables Loan or as an Advance under the Receivables Loan without any further Request for Receivables Loan Advance from Borrower. Agent shall apply any excess deposits or fees paid to Agent prior to the Closing Date to the Receivables Loan Fee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender’s Commitment Amount is reduced by an assignment or sale to a co-lender or through a participation arrangement, and thereafter such co-lender or participant fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of Advances under the Receivables Loan, then a portion of the Receivables Loan Fee shall be refunded to Borrower in a pro rata amount, taking into account the decrease in the Advanced amount and the number of months elapsed in the Receivables Loan Advance Period. For example, if a co-lender or participant who is obligated to contribute $5,000,000 to a Receivables Loan Advance fails to do so under the circumstances described herein during the Receivables Loan Advance Period, then the Pro Rata Share amount of the Receivables Loan Fee to be refunded to Borrower would be equal to an amount calculated as follows: $5,000,000/$50,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the Receivables Loan Advance Period and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Receivables Loan Advance Period multiplied by $400,000.
28
5.2 Late Charge. In the event that any payment required under the Receivables Loan is not received by Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the due date, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the amount due and payable to defray the expenses incident to handling such delinquent payments, and to compensate Agent and Lenders for the harm and damages related to such late payments. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that such late charges are reasonable in light of the anticipated and the actual harm caused by the late payments; the difficulties of proof of loss, harm and damages; and the inconvenience and non-feasibility of Agent and Lenders otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. Acceptance of such late charge will not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and will not prevent Agent and Lenders from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents.
5.3 Non-Utilization Fee. Subject to Section 6.8 below, on March 1, 2014 (for the period from March 1, 2013 to February 28, 2014) and on each March 1 thereafter (for the prior twelve (12) month period) during the Receivables Loan Advance Period, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for its own benefit, a non-utilization fee equal to 1.00% per annum of the positive difference between (a) Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), and (b) the average outstanding aggregate monthly principal balance of the Receivables Loan (including any New Loan Tranche thereunder) during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period. Such non-utilization fee shall be payable on April 15th of each calendar year following the anniversary date of this Agreement during the Receivables Loan Advance Period. Agent is irrevocably authorized to advance the sums necessary to pay such fee to itself from the proceeds of any Advance under the Receivables Loan or as an Advance under the Receivables Loan without any further Request for Receivables Loan Advance form from Borrower. If the average aggregate monthly outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan (including any New Loan Tranche thereunder) was equal to or greater than Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) during such twelve (12) month period, then such fee shall not be due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-utilization fee would be waived in any year the prepayment fee described in Section 6.6 below was paid as a result of a prepayment for the purposes of a securitization or similar conduit transaction.
5.4 Change of Control Fee. In the event that a Change of Control occurs at any time prior to February 11, 2013, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the greater of (a) $1,000,000 (the “Change of Control Fee”) or (b) the prepayment fee that would otherwise be due and payable to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to Section 6.6 below. In the event that a Change of Control occurs at any time after the second anniversary date of this Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the prepayment fee then due and payable to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to Section 6.6 below. Such Change of Control Fee or prepayment fee, as applicable, shall be fully earned and due and payable in full upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and shall not be refundable in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent agrees that Agent may, at its sole and absolute discretion, waive such Change of Control Fee or prepayment fee, as applicable, if the Person or group of Persons effecting the Change of Control event agrees (i) to continue the Receivables Loan, (ii) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) to execute and deliver to Agent such amendment and joinder documents and other due diligence deliveries as Agent may require.
29
5.5 Loan Balance Fee. In the event that the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan (including any New Loan Tranche thereunder) is not greater than or equal to $30,000,000 at December 31, 2012, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amount as provided below (the “Loan Balance Fee”):
Loan Balance | Fee |
Greater than or equal to $30,000,000 | No fee |
Greater than or equal to $25,000,000, but less than $30,000,000 | $100,000 |

The Loan Balance Fee shall be fully earned as of December 31, 2012 and be due and payable by Borrower to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, on or before January 15, 2013.
6. Payments.
6.1 Collections. (a) All payments (principal, interest and fees) made on account of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be paid to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, via wire transfer once each Business Day pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all such amounts received by Agent shall be applied twice a month by Agent, on the first (1st) and fifteenth (15th) day of the month (i) first to the payment of any fees, costs, expenses, charges and indemnification obligations payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents, including without limitation those payable under Section 29.6 and Section 29.19, or past due amounts owing by Borrower to Agent and Lenders in connection with the Receivables Loan, (ii) second, to interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan through the preceding Business Day, (iii) third, to the principal balance of the Receivables Loan, and (iv) finally, to all other unpaid Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all payments on the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans may be applied by Agent towards the repayment of the Obligations in such order as Agent may elect.
(b) In the event that the (collections with respect to the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans) received by Agent include payments for items other than principal and interest payable under the Notes assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, (e.g. tax and insurance impounds, maintenance and other Assessment payments, late charges, “NSF” or returned check charges, misdirected payments or deposits, etc.), Agent shall remit such other payments back to Borrower provided that (i) no Event of Default or Incipient Default exists, (ii) Borrower requests in writing that Agent remit such other payments back to Borrower, (iii) Borrower specifically identifies (inclusive of the amount of) such other payments, (iv) Borrower provides Agent with back-up to support the claim that such payments should not be part of the proceeds of Collateral, and (v) if such amount is actually remitted to Borrower, then Agent may adjust the Receivables Loan balance to give effect to such remitted amounts to Borrower.
30
(c) Whether or not the collections on account of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans or the proceeds of the Collateral shall be sufficient for that purpose, Borrower shall pay when due all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts required to be made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Borrower’s obligation to make the payments required by the terms of the Loan Documents is absolute and unconditional.
6.2 Additional Mandatory Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Receivables Loan outstanding is greater than (a) eighty-five percent (85%) multiplied by the remaining principal payments due under Qualified Timeshare Loans comprising the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, or (b) any other restriction or limitation set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 2.2, then within twenty (20) days after notice to Borrower, Borrower agrees to either (a) at Borrower’s sole option (i) prepay (without prepayment premium or penalty) an amount equal to such difference together with accrued interest thereon, or (ii) pledge additional Qualified Timeshare Loans as part of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans in an amount sufficient to cure the deficiency, or (b) if requested by Borrower, at Agent’s sole option, prepay (without prepayment premium or penalty), in part, and pledge additional Qualified Timeshare Loans, in part, in a total amount sufficient to cure the deficiency. For purposes of calculating required payments under this section, any Delinquent Loans or Timeshare Loans described in Sections 12.1(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not be deemed to be Qualified Timeshare Loans.
6.3 Minimum Payments. In the event that the amounts received by Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1 are insufficient to pay the accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan for any calendar month, then and in that event, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the unpaid accrued interest for such month within five (5) Business Days after notice from Agent.
6.4 Final Payment Date. If not sooner paid, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, all amounts owing by Borrower to Agent and Lenders on account of the Receivables Loan and all other Obligations owing by Borrower to Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement on the Receivables Loan Maturity Date.
6.5 Reinstatement of Obligations. Borrower agrees that, to the extent any payment or payments are made on any Obligations and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the Obligations or any part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.
31
6.6 Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower may not prepay any of the principal balance of the Receivables Loan during the Receivables Loan Advance Period. After the end of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, Borrower may prepay all or any part of the principal balance of the Receivables Loan following delivery of not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Agent and upon payment of the applicable fee to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as set forth below. Any prepayment shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to make all regularly scheduled payments hereunder. The following prepayment fees on the Receivables Loan shall be payable:
(a) Each prepayment made in the first Loan Year shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 3% of the principal amount prepaid;
(b) Each prepayment made in the second Loan Year shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 2% of the principal amount prepaid;
(c) Each prepayment made in the third Loan Year shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, any prepayment made within six (6) months prior to the Receivables Loan Maturity Date shall not require any prepayment fee, provided that such prepayment is made in full and not in part; and
(d) Any prepayment made after the third Loan Year shall not require any prepayment fee.
In the event that Agent or any Lender voluntarily agrees to accept a prepayment prior to the end of the Receivables Loan Advance Period or is compelled to accept a prepayment prior to the end of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a prepayment fee equal to 5% of the amount prepaid.
In the event Agent or any Lender exercises its right to accelerate payments under the Receivables Loan following an Event of Default or otherwise, any tender of payment of the amount necessary to repay all or part of the Receivables Loan made thereafter at any time by Borrower, its successors or assigns or by anyone on behalf of Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment and in connection therewith Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to receive the fee required to be paid under the foregoing prepayment restrictions.
Borrower shall be entitled (and is obligated) to prepay the balance of the Receivables Loan to the extent such prepayment results from a shortfall in sums received from Purchasers under Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and to the extent such prepayment results from a formerly Qualified Timeshare Loan no longer being deemed “Qualified”. Borrower shall not be liable to pay a prepayment fee resulting from payments described in the immediately preceding sentence, unless Borrower has solicited accelerated payments from Purchasers.
Borrower shall also be entitled to prepay the balance of the Receivables Loan, without any prepayment fee, to the extent such prepayment results from a Timeshare Loan being removed from the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans due to a refinance of the Note related thereto resulting from an upgrade by a Purchaser.
32
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.6, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, subject to the exception set forth in Section 5.4, Borrower shall be obligated to prepay the balance of the Receivables Loan in accordance with Section 6.7 below, together with the prepayment fee or Change of Control Fee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.4 above.
The prepayment fees shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Agent and Lenders as a result of such prepayment and Borrower agrees that such prepayment fees are reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The prepayment fees provided for in this Section shall be deemed included in the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan by a single prepayment each calendar year (beginning in 2013 and continuing each year so long as the Receivables Loan Advance Period had not expired) for the purpose of a receivables securitization or similar conduit transaction, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) at no time would the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan be less than $10,000,000 unless the Receivables Loan Advance Period has expired, (ii) the proposed paydown will occur only one time in each calendar year beginning in calendar year 2013, and only pursuant to a schedule submitted to Lender by Borrower before September 15 of the preceding calendar year of such prepayment, provided, however, Lender acknowledges that Borrower has previously submitted such schedule for calendar year 2013, (iii) a prepayment fee of 1% of such prepayment would be due at the time of such prepayment, (iv) should the proposed paydown not occur within thirty (30) days before such proposed date or within ninety (90) days after such proposed date as set forth on the schedule submitted by Borrower, then the prepayment fee (as described above) would increase to 3% for that calendar year, and (v) the portfolio characteristics of the remaining pledged Collateral (i.e. weighted average FICO score, average balance, WAC, etc.) must be substantially similar to those characteristics in existence prior to the prepayment (other than seasoning). Agent will have the right of first refusal with respect to the financing of Timeshare Loans that did not qualify for such receivables securitization or similar conduit transaction.
6.7 Change of Control Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, subject to the exception set forth in Section 5.4, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, all amounts owing by Borrower to Agent and Lenders on account of the Receivables Loan and all other Obligations owing by Borrower to Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Change of Control Fee or prepayment fee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.4 above. Upon such payment, and without limiting the effect of such payment, no further non-utilization fee, as set forth in Section 5.3, shall be due by Borrower to Agent.
6.8 Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all collections received by Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, with respect to the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be applied to the Obligations as set forth in Section 6.1. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all other payments received by Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, with respect to the Receivables Loan shall be applied to the Obligations as directed by Borrower, or if no direction is received by Agent, as Agent may elect in its discretion. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent at its option, may apply any and all collections and other payments received from Borrower with respect to any of the Collateral to accrued interest, outstanding principal and other sums due hereunder, under the Loan Documents in such order and with respect to the Obligations, as Agent in its discretion elects. To the extent that Borrower fails to pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, any fees, costs, expenses, charges or indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents, Agent, at its option, may apply all or part of such payments towards such fees, costs, expenses and indemnification obligations.
33
6.9 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify Agent and Lenders against any loss or expense which Agent or any Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, any failure of Borrower to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, but only to the extent that any such loss or expense did not arise out of Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Agent and Lenders sustain or incur any such loss or expense which constitutes the failure to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement), Agent will notify Borrower in writing of the amount determined in good faith by Agent to be necessary to indemnify them for such loss or expense. Such amount will be due and payable by Borrower to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, within five (5) Business Days after presentation by Agent of a statement setting forth a brief explanation of and its calculation of such amount, which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent manifest error. Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section will bear interest at the Default Rate from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment.
6.10 General. The Receivables Loan, all interest thereon and all other sums payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be paid in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars according to the terms of the Loan Documents.
7. Security; Guaranties.
7.1 Security. The Obligations shall be secured by, and Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a security interest in and to, all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):
(a) All Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, together with all Purchase Agreements, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents related thereto; all payments due or to become due thereunder in whatever form, including without limitation cash, checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money; and all books and records, including all computer records, relating thereto.
(b) All proceeds, property, property rights, privileges and benefits arising out of, from the enforcement of, or in connection with, all present and future Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and all Purchase Agreements, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents related thereto, including without limitation, to the extent applicable, all property returned by or reclaimed or repossessed from purchasers thereunder, all rights of foreclosure, termination, dispossession, repossession, all documents, instruments, contracts, liens and security instruments and guaranties relating to such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents, all collateral and other security securing the obligations of any Person under or relating to such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents, including, without limitation, all Owner Beneficiary Rights under the Trust Agreement in respect of such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and all of the Borrower’s rights or interest in all other property (personal or other), if any, the sale of which gave rise to such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, all rights and remedies of whatever kind or nature Borrower may hold or acquire for the purpose of securing or enforcing such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents, and all general intangibles relating to or arising out of such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents.
34
(c) All of Borrower’s accounts receivable, chattel paper, contract rights, documents, instruments, pre-authorized account debit agreements, general intangibles and choses-in-action, claims and judgments, solely related to all Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
(d) All of Borrower’s rights under any Title Insurance Policies covering Mortgages assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in which Borrower now or hereafter has any interest to the extent related to any Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
(e) Any and all proceeds of the foregoing.
(f) Any and all other property now or hereafter serving as security for the Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan becomes a Delinquent Loan and such Delinquent Loan has been replaced and/or repaid as set forth in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of this Agreement, then Agent and Lenders shall release their lien on the collateral securing such Delinquent Loan.
All liens and security interests shall be first priority liens and security interests. Borrower, Agent and Lenders hereby agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Codes of the State of Connecticut and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Agent and Lenders hereunder, Agent and each Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Connecticut and Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Codes.
The above-described liens and security interests shall not be rendered void by the fact that no Obligations in respect of the Receivables Loan exist as of any particular date, but shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pertaining to the Receivables Loan have been fully and finally paid, performed and satisfied, and Agent and Lenders have no agreement or commitment outstanding pursuant to which Agent or any Lender may extend credit to or on behalf of Borrower and Agent has executed termination statements or releases with respect thereto. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF BORROWER THAT ALL OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL SECURE ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER TO AGENT AND LENDERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
35
7.2 Endorsement of Notes; Assignment and Delivery. The original Note evidencing each of the Timeshare Loans shall be delivered to Agent and shall be endorsed to Agent with the following signed form of Endorsement:
Pay to the order of Liberty Bank, as Agent, with recourse.
Bluegreen Corporation
By:___________________________________
Name/Title:_____________________________
To the extent that any of such Notes had previously been endorsed by Borrower to another Person, such Person shall have re-endorsed such Notes back to Borrower.
Each of the Timeshare Loans shall be collaterally assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, by written Assignment (the “Assignment”), duly executed on behalf of Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, provided that a batch Assignment shall also be deemed acceptable to Lender. Each Assignment shall be in a form which is properly recordable in the applicable real estate records in the state in which the applicable Project is located. As an accommodation to Borrower to effectuate the recordation of an “aged” Assignment, as further described in the following paragraph, Agent agrees that each Assignment will be duly executed on behalf of Borrower but will not reflect an effective date when delivered to Agent by Borrower or at Agent’s direction to the Custodian.
Agent agrees that it will not record any Assignment in such real estate records for a period of twelve (12) months after such Assignment is executed by Borrower, provided that: (a) each and every Assignment may be recorded by Agent, at its sole discretion, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Incipient Default, and (b) an Assignment may be recorded prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period, if the Legal Requirements for the state in which the applicable Project covered by the Assignment is located requires that such Assignment be recorded within a period shorter than twelve (12) months after the Assignment is executed in order for such Assignment to be accepted for recording, be valid and enforceable and not subject to challenge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower notifies the Agent in writing thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period that it intends to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan in connection with a receivables securitization or similar conduit transaction and requests the re-assignment and release of certain specified Timeshare Loans then evidenced by an unrecorded Assignment, Agent and Lenders agree that such twelve (12) month period will be extended by an additional forty-five (45) days, provided that the conditions set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this paragraph have not occurred.
Borrower hereby grants to Agent a power of attorney, at Borrower’s cost, during such twelve (12) month period after such Assignment is executed by Borrower but prior to its recordation by Agent, to re-execute, date and deliver for recording any Assignment previously executed and delivered undated by Borrower to Agent or at its direction at any time (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Incipient Default, or (ii) if the Legal Requirements for the state in which the applicable Project covered by such Assignment is located requires that such Assignment be recorded does not accept such Assignment for recording when presented by Agent for any reason. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.
36
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower agrees that the execution and delivery of a duly executed but undated Assignment shall not vitiate any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Borrower contained herein with respect to the collateral assignment to Agent of the Timeshare Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and confirms that the agreement by Agent to hold and not record such Assignment for up to a twelve (12) month period is made as an accommodation by Agent for the benefit of Borrower and will not be construed in any manner against Agent or Lender as to the validity of Agent’s security interest in or lien upon the Collateral, including without limitation, any Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
7.3 Lockbox Agreement. All amounts payable on account of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be received by a financial institution or other entity approved by Agent (“Lockbox Bank”) and transmitted by Lockbox Bank to Agent or any entity designated by Agent in accordance with the provisions of an amended and restated agreement among Borrower, Agent, Servicer and Lockbox Bank in form and content acceptable to Borrower and Agent (the “Lockbox Agreement”). Bank of America, N.A. shall be deemed by Agent to be an approved Lockbox Bank. All payments on account of Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be directed to an account maintained by Borrower for the benefit of Agent with the Lockbox Bank and shall be transmitted to Agent by wire transfer by the Lockbox Bank once each Business Day, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement.
At any time after Lockbox Bank shall fail to keep and perform its obligations under the Lockbox Agreement to the satisfaction of Agent, Borrower shall, upon the written request of Agent, terminate such agreement in accordance with its terms. If the Lockbox Agreement shall be terminated by Agent, the Lockbox Bank or, with the consent of Agent, by Borrower, Borrower shall, prior to the effective date of such termination, enter into a similar arrangement with another financial institution satisfactory to Agent, or at Agent’s option make other arrangements satisfactory to Agent, in its sole discretion, for the collection and transmittal to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, of payments made on account of Timeshare Loans then and thereafter assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, pursuant to this Agreement.
Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that an action for damages for any breach of the requirements of this Section 7.3 shall not be an adequate remedy at law. In the event of any such breach, Borrower agrees to the fullest extent allowed by law that Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain such breach and require compliance with such requirements.
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any claims, demands, expenses, costs, damages, liabilities, setoffs, recoupments and expenses associated with the Lockbox Agreement regardless of whether or not Lockbox Bank is liable or responsible for such items under the express terms of the Lockbox Agreement, except to the extent such claims, demands, expenses, costs, damages, liabilities, setoffs, recoupments and expenses are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, any Lender or Lockbox Bank. By way of example, but without limiting any other possibilities, Borrower shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any claims, demands, expenses, costs, damages, liabilities, setoffs, recoupments and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) both legal and equitable, associated with the Lockbox Agreement regardless of whether or not Lockbox Bank may avoid or limit its responsibility by claiming (i) that Agent had a duty to notify Lockbox Bank of any errors, discrepancies and/or irregularities under the Lockbox Agreement, (ii) that Lockbox Bank’s liability cannot exceed the service charges charged in connection with the Lockbox Agreement for the most recent twelve-month period, and (iii) that Lockbox Bank’s liability does not extend to special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages.
37
7.4 Servicing Agreement. The Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be serviced by Borrower (in its capacity as servicer, and any third party successor servicer, the “Servicer”), provided that, the terms and conditions of such servicing shall at all times be acceptable to Agent and Borrower and shall be in writing in the form of an amended and restated bi-party servicing agreement between Borrower and Agent (the “Servicing Agreement”). Agent shall also engage Concord Servicing Corporation (“Concord”) as a “warm” back-up servicer to take over as servicer, in its commercially reasonable discretion at any time whether or not an Incipient Default of Event of Default then exists, and as of the date hereof, Borrower, Concord and Agent shall enter into an amended and restated back-up servicing agreement on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent (the “Back-Up Servicing Agreement”).
7.5 Custodial Agreement. The Loan Files related to the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be held for the benefit of Agent and Lenders by U.S. Bank National Association or another entity approved by Agent (“Custodian”) pursuant to the provisions of an agreement among Agent, Borrower and Custodian in form and content acceptable to Agent, Custodian and Borrower (the “Custodial Agreement”). At any time after Custodian shall fail to keep and perform its obligations under the Custodial Agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent, Agent may terminate such agreement in accordance with the terms of such Custodial Agreement.
7.6 Notice to Purchasers.
(a) Each Purchaser with a Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan shall be instructed by Borrower, in writing, to direct all payments on account of such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan (i) by automatic debit to such Purchaser’s bank account, to be initiated by and to be paid to Lockbox Bank; (ii) by check payable to the order of Borrower pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and to mail such checks to the Lockbox Bank at the address specified in the Lockbox Agreement; or (iii) by credit card payment for processing through Borrower’s merchant account with such payment to be deposited through the Lockbox Bank into Agent’s deposit account.
(b) Borrower shall deliver to Agent at the Closing, a form of notice to Purchasers advising them of the collateral assignment of their Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan to Agent and directing that all payments on account of such Purchaser’s Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan be made as directed in Section 7.6(a), which notice (the “Notice to Purchasers”) shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Agent shall have the right, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to send an original or a copy of such Notice to Purchasers to each Purchaser with a Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan.
38
(c) In addition, Borrower hereby grants to Agent a power of attorney, at Borrower’s cost, to give notice in writing or otherwise, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in such form or manner as Agent may deem advisable in its sole discretion, to each Purchaser with a Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan of such assignment with direction to make all payments on account of such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan in accordance with such instructions as Agent may deem advisable in its sole discretion. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.
(d) Borrower authorizes Agent and Servicer (but Agent and Servicer shall not be obligated) to communicate at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with any Purchaser or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable under a Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan with regard to the lien of Agent and Lenders thereon and any other matter relating thereto.
7.7 Payments to be Forwarded. If Borrower shall, at any time and for any reason, receive any payment on account of any Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loan, it shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and shall deliver such payment, in the form received, with any necessary endorsements, within two (2) Business Days after receipt, to the Lockbox Bank for collection and deposit as required in the Lockbox Agreement.
7.8 Cancellation and Modifications of Notes. As long as any Timeshare Loan is included in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Borrower shall not cancel or modify the Note related thereto; provided, however, that Borrower may modify the Note (i) in connection with a Permitted Modification or (ii) if agreed by Lender in writing in its sole discretion. If a Qualified Timeshare Loan is amended to cure a delinquency without Lender’s agreement, such Timeshare Loan shall be deemed a Delinquent Loan.
7.9 Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents or otherwise to the contrary, after prior written notice to Agent, Borrower at its expense may contest, by appropriate legal or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity of any tax, charge, assessment, statute, regulation, or any monetary lien on the Collateral, so long as: (i) in the case of an unpaid tax, charge, assessment or lien, such proceedings suspend the collection thereof from Borrower and the Collateral, and shall not interfere with the payment of any monies due under the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) none of the Collateral is, in the judgment of Agent, in any imminent danger of being sold, forfeited or lost; (iii) in the case of a statute or regulation, neither Borrower nor Agent is in any danger of any civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith; and (iv) Borrower has furnished such security, if any, as may be required in the proceedings or as Agent reasonably requests up to 100% of the amount in controversy.
39
7.10 Release. In the event of (i) a partial prepayment of the Receivables Loan subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, or (ii) a prepayment in full of the Receivables Loan and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall release its security interest and assign or deliver to Borrower such Timeshare Loans, Notes, Mortgages and other related Collateral assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that, if such prepayment is a partial prepayment of the Receivables Loan permitted under Section 6.6 of this Agreement, Agent and Borrower shall mutually agree as to the collateral pool to be released, so that (i) the quality and nature of the Timeshare Loans, Notes, Mortgages and other related Collateral from a credit underwriting standard after such release is materially consistent (other than seasoning) with the quality and nature of the Timeshare Loans, Notes, Mortgages and other related Collateral from the credit underwriting standard that existed immediately prior to such partial prepayment and release, (ii) Borrower maintains the borrowing base formula set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement of eighty-five percent (85%) of the unpaid principal balance of Qualified Timeshare Loans included within the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans assigned to Agent in connection with prior Advances, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default will result from such release. All releases by Agent to Borrower shall be (a) in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (b) at the Borrower’s cost and expense.
8. Representations and Warranties. As an inducement to Agent and Lenders to advance funds to Borrower, Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders as follows:
8.1 Organization; Power.
(a) Borrower.

No events, including, without limitation, any “Reportable Event” or “Prohibited Transaction” (as those terms are defined under ERISA), have occurred in connection with any such Plan which might constitute grounds for the termination of any such Plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or for the appointment of any United States District Court of a trustee to administer any such Plan.

Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliates have incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA.

8.23 Closing Date Indebtedness. Schedule 8.23 sets forth the outstanding principal balance of all indebtedness for borrowed money, repurchase obligations with respect to sold Timeshare Loans and other liabilities of Borrower (other than accounts payable in the ordinary course) as of September 30, 2012. Such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities are referred to collectively as “Closing Date Indebtedness”.

(a) Agent may declare all or some of the Obligations immediately due and payable;

(g) Agent may terminate any existing Lockbox Agreement or Servicing Agreement and thereafter have the collection and servicing of the Timeshare Loans done by Agent or any Person designated by Agent all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lockbox Agreement and Servicing Agreement; and/or

If an Event of Default occurs under Section 25.1(g), 25.1(h), 25.1(i) or 25.1(j), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without further action.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at any time when an Event of Default hereunder exists and is continuing, no Lender shall be obligated to fund any portion of an Advance hereunder, except in such circumstances as Agent and Lenders may have mutually agreed, including without limitation, pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.
77
25.3 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral. The sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by Agent after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set-off the amount of such purchase price against the Obligations. Any sales of the Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. Agent may cause the Collateral to remain on Borrower’s premises or otherwise to be removed and stored at premises owned by other Persons, at Borrower’s expense, pending sale or other disposition of the Collateral. Borrower, at Agent’s request, shall assemble the Collateral consisting of tangible assets and make such assets available to Agent at a place to be designated by Agent. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on Borrower’s premises, at Borrower’s expense, or elsewhere, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, on such occasion or occasions as Agent may see fit. With respect to Borrower’s owned or leased premises, Borrower hereby grants Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a license, effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any applicable lease, and subject to applicable Legal Requirements, to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights or remedies provided herein, at law or in equity, or otherwise.
Any notice required to be given by Agent of a sale or other disposition or other intended action by Agent with respect to any of the Collateral which is given in the manner specified in Section 29.1, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to Borrower of any such action. The net proceeds realized by Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the expenses related thereto including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be applied in such order as Agent, in its sole discretion, elects, toward satisfaction of the Obligations. Agent shall account to Borrower for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees that Agent and Lenders have no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other parties. Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
In connection with the disposition of any Collateral by Agent, Borrower agrees that Agent may disclaim any warranties and dispose of such Collateral without any warranties whatsoever and that Agent shall not be deemed to have acted in a commercially unreasonable manner as a result thereof.
If Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by or on behalf of the purchaser, received by Agent and applied to the indebtedness owed by such purchaser to Agent. If the purchaser fails to pay for any of the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral.
Agent may, in the name of Borrower or its own name, make and execute all conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Collateral sold in connection with the exercise of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies; and Agent is hereby appointed Borrower’s attorney-in-fact for this purpose.
78
25.4 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds from each sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral following an Event of Default shall be applied or paid over as follows:
(a) First: to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sale or other realization, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; and
(b) Second: to the payment of the Obligations relating to the Receivables Loan (with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency) in such order as Agent may elect;
(c) Third: to the payment of all other Obligations (with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency); and
(d) Fourth: the balance (if any) of such proceeds shall be paid, subject to any duty imposed by law, or otherwise to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto.
25.5 Actions with Respect to Timeshare Loans. Agent may take any of the following actions, in its name or the name of Borrower, as Agent may determine, without notice to Borrower and at Borrower’s expense:
(a) Verify the validity and amount of or any other matter relating to the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise:
(b) Direct all Purchasers to make payment of all Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans directly to Agent or a Person designated by Agent, forward invoices directly to such Purchasers and receive and collect all monies due or to become due with respect to such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans;
(c) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans; and
(d) At any time after an Event of Default occurs and while such Event of Default continues, enforce payment of and collect any of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose, Agent may:
(i) Demand payment of any of such Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans, subject to the terms thereof;
(ii) Settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release any of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans;
(iii) Sell or assign any of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans on such terms, for such amount and at such times as Agent deems advisable;
79
(iv) Prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on any proof of claim or similar document in any proceeding filed under any Debtor Relief Laws as to any of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans;
(v) Endorse the name of Borrower upon any documents, instruments or similar documents or agreements relating to the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans or upon any checks or other media of payment that may come into Agent’s possession; or
(vi) Take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interest in the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s designated officers, employees or agents) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, with power to sign its name and to take any of the foregoing actions, in its name or the name of Agent, which power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. All acts of Agent taken in connection with the foregoing are hereby ratified and approved and Agent shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to assist Agent in the collection and enforcement of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans and not to hinder, delay or impede Agent in its collection or enforcement of the Lender Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
25.6 Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, may retain all or part of the Collateral in partial or full satisfaction of the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law. Agent will not be considered to have offered to retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations, unless Agent has entered into a written agreement with Borrower to that effect.
25.7 Performance by Agent and Lenders. In the event that Borrower fails to perform any obligations under any of the Loan Documents, the Project Documents or the Consumer Documents, Agent or any Lender may perform such obligations and Borrower agrees to reimburse Agent and Lenders for all funds expended by Agent and Lenders and all costs related thereto. If Borrower does not reimburse Agent and Lenders within five (5) Business Days after demand by Agent, interest shall accrue on such reimbursement obligations at the Default Rate. In no event shall Agent and Lenders have any obligation to perform any obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, the Project Documents or the Consumer Documents. Such performance shall be totally discretionary with Agent and Lenders and performance by Agent and Lenders at any time shall not give rise to any duty or obligation by Agent and Lenders to perform at any other time.
80
25.8 No Liability of Agent or any Lender. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement by Agent or any Lender, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by Agent or any Lender, shall be construed in any way as an assumption by Agent or any Lender of any obligations, responsibilities or duties of Borrower arising in connection with the Projects, under any applicable Timeshare Act or under any of the Project Documents, or in connection with any other business of Borrower, or the Collateral, or otherwise bind Agent or any Lender to the performance of any obligations with respect to the Project or the Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of Borrower with respect to the Projects or any of the Collateral, under any applicable Timeshare Act or under any of the Project Documents. This Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Agent or any Lender taken hereunder, and any exercise of rights or remedies by Agent or any Lender prior to or following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not constitute an assumption by Agent or any Lender of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Projects, the Collateral, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of their obligations thereunder or with respect thereto.
25.9 Right to Defend Action Affecting Collateral. Agent may, at Borrower’s expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding at law or in equity which Agent in good faith believes may affect the value of the Collateral, the Projects or Agent’s and Lenders’ rights under any of the Loan Documents.
25.10 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Agent may execute any of its duties and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives or through other Persons. Agent may use Wellington Financial to perform certain services in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Agent may pay Wellington Financial or any other Persons performing services for Agent such compensation as Agent may elect.
25.11 Condemnation or Litigation. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Advances if any condemnation proceeding or litigation is pending against any Unit or the applicable Primary Project or against Borrower, which would in any material way impair any Primary Project.
25.12 Set-Off. Without limiting the rights of Agent or any Lender under applicable law, and subject in all cases to the terms of any other agreement among Lenders, including without limitation, the Agency Agreement, Agent and each Lender have and may exercise a right of set-off, a lien against and a security interest in all property of Borrower now or at any time in Agent’s or such Lender’s possession in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance of any deposit, trust or agency account, or any other bank account with Agent or any Lender, as security for all Obligations. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender may without notice or demand, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Agent or any Lender to or for the credit of Borrower against any or all of the Obligations.
25.13 Waiver of Right of First Refusal. Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives any right of first refusal it may have to purchase Timeshare Interests (including without limitation the right of first refusal contained in any Declaration in favor of Borrower or its Affiliates, as declarant or otherwise) with respect to any Timeshare Interests acquired by Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, or its nominee or assignee. Borrower agrees that thereafter such Timeshare Interests may be assigned, transferred or sold free and clear of any right of first refusal in favor of Borrower.
81
26. Regarding Agent.
26.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates Liberty Bank to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees, charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or applicable law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification from Lenders reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.
26.2 Nature of Duties. Agent shall administer the Receivables Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Agency Agreement. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder, under the Agency Agreement or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by their bad faith, gross negligence (but not mere negligence) or willful misconduct or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or for any failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The duties of Agent with respect to the Receivables Loan to Borrower shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by any reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be construed as to impose upon Agent any obligation in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein or in the Agency Agreement.
26.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation.
82
(a) Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of the Receivables Loan hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Receivables Loan or at any time or times thereafter except in any event as shall be provided by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or of the financial condition of Borrower or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Incipient Default, except as expressly set forth herein.
(b) Agent may resign upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Borrower. Lenders will during such sixty (60) day period designate a successor Agent which in the absence of an Event of Default shall be reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment. Effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After the appointment of a successor Agent as Agent, the provisions of this Section 26.3 shall inure to the prior Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. Agent’s resignation shall not release Liberty Bank from any of its obligations to Borrower as a Lender under the Loan Documents.
26.4 Certain Rights of Agent. Subject to the terms of the Agency Agreement, if Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders.
26.5 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed in good faith by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.
26.6 Purposely Omitted.
26.7 Agent in its Individual Capacity. In the event that Agent is or becomes a “Lender” under this Agreement, with respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender.
83
26.8 Borrower’s Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to its obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by Borrower for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the account of Agent and Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.
26.9 Allocation of Payments and Collateral. In the event of a liquidation of the Collateral, proceeds collected with respect thereto shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 25.4.
26.10 Agency Agreement. Certain other terms governing the relationship between Agent and Lenders are set forth in the Agency Agreement. The Agency Agreement may be amended, modified or restated in accordance with its terms without the consent or approval of Borrower.
27. Sale And Assignment.
27.1 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of any Receivables Loan Note and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent.
(b) Borrower acknowledges that one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to or consent of Borrower, sell participating interests in the Receivables Loan. Each Lender shall promptly thereafter provide written notice to Borrower and to Agent of any sales of participating interests made by each Lender. No such participation shall create a direct contractual relationship between Borrower and any such participant, and Agent and Borrower shall only be required to deal with the Lender who sold such participation and the participant shall have no rights hereunder.
84
(c) With the prior written consent of Agent, any Lender may, at its own cost and expense, sell, assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Transferees and such Eligible Transferee may commit to make Advances hereunder pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement in form substantially similar to that set forth on Exhibit I hereto (each, a “Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by an Eligible Transferee, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent provided, however, that: any transfer of less than all of any Lender’s rights hereunder or any transfer to a Person who is not a Lender hereunder shall be in minimum amounts of not less than $10,000,000. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) the Eligible Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Pro Rata Share as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose (it being understood that all outstanding obligations of the transferor Lender shall either be satisfied by such transferor Lender or assumed by the Eligible Transferee). Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Eligible Transferee and the resulting adjustment of the Pro Rata Shares arising from the purchase by such Eligible Transferee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby consents to the addition of such Eligible Transferee and the resulting adjustment of the Pro Rata Shares arising from the purchase by such Eligible Transferee in accordance with the terms of this Section 27.1 of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall, to the extent reasonable, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further reasonable acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.
(d) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Receivables Loan recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Eligible Transferee upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment to such Eligible Transferee.
(e) Borrower authorizes Agent and each Lender to disclose to any Eligible Transferee or any participant and any prospective Eligible Transferee or any participant any and all financial information in Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning Borrower, the Projects or the Vacation Club which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of Borrower, the Projects or the Vacation Club so long as such information is provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of a confidentiality agreement in form and content acceptable to Agent and Borrower.
(f) Borrower agrees to take all actions that Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in attempting to sell, transfer or assign any of its rights or interests under this Agreement. Such actions include, but are not limited to, (a) Borrower causing senior management and representatives of Borrower to be available to participate in information meetings with prospective Eligible Transferees at such times and places as Agent or the applicable Lender may reasonably request, and (b) Borrower providing Agent or the applicable Lender with all information reasonably requested by Agent or the applicable Lender in order to accomplish such sale, transfer or assignment.
85
(g) In addition to the foregoing provisions, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents (including any portion of any Receivables Loan Note) to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12, U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or assignment or enforcement thereof shall release any Lender from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
27.2 Pledge of Commitment Amount. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 27, any Lender may pledge (a “Pledge”) its rights and obligations under this Agreement, under its Receivable Loan Note, and in and to the remaining Loan Documents (all of which rights shall be collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 27.2 as the pledging Lender’s Commitment Amount) to any entity which has extended a credit facility to such Lender and that is an Eligible Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by S&P (a “Loan Pledgee”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 27.2. Upon written notice by the applicable Lender to the other Lenders and Agent that a Pledge by such Lender of its Commitment Amount has been effected, Agent thereafter agrees: (a) to give Loan Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Lender under this Agreement at such time as Agent delivers notice to such pledging Lender; and (b) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Lenders and Agent by such Loan Pledgee that the pledging Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under the pledging Lender’s obligations to such Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Lender and such Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Lender), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Loan Pledgee, Loan Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that Agent would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.
Any pledging Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Lenders and Agent from any liability to the pledging Lender on account of any Lender’s or Agent’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Agent or any Lender to have been delivered by a Loan Pledgee. Loan Pledgee shall be permitted to fully exercise its rights and remedies against the pledging Lender, and realize on any and all collateral granted by the pledging Lender to such Loan Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law. In such event, the other Lenders and Agent shall recognize such Loan Pledgee (and any transferee which is also an Eligible Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Loan Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of such foreclosure), and its successors and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Loan Pledgee or Eligible Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Lender hereunder accruing from and after such transfer and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Loan Pledgee under this Section 27 shall remain effective as to any Lender (and Agent) unless and until such Loan Pledgee shall have notified such Lender (and Agent, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Commitment Amount has terminated.
86

There would be no prepayment penalty during the six (6) months immediately preceding New Loan Tranche maturity date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower will not request and Lender will have no obligation to extend the New Loan Tranche or make an additional advance under the New Loan Tranche if the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the New Loan Tranche together with the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan will exceed the Maximum Loan Amount.
Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender such amendment documents and other agreements that Lender may reasonably require to evidence the extension of the New Loan Tranche prior to its initial funding.
29.37 FBS Project Approval. At the written request of Borrower, Lender will consider making eligible additional FBS Projects (it being understood and acknowledged that the FBS Projects identified as Non-Primary Projects on Schedule 2 attached to this Agreement as of the Closing Date are approved by Lender) as a Project (Primary or Non-Primary) under this Agreement, provided that Lender has reviewed and approved the necessary documents, related due diligence and conducted a site visit to determine such project eligibility, all in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and subject to Lender’s internal credit committee and loan committee approvals. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such documents evidencing the acceptance of such FBS Project as an eligible Project and conforming the collateral eligibility criteria to allow for collateral from such Project which has not been originated by Borrower, but is owned and serviced by Borrower at a Project that is managed by the Borrower, an affiliate of the Borrower, or an unrelated manager, to be deemed acceptable in Lender’s sole discretion to support an Advance under the Receivables Loan. All expenses incurred by Lender for the review of documents, due diligence and the project site visit would be paid by the Borrower.
