WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, the Sellers originate and purchase Receivables; WHEREAS, the Trust Depositor has been established as a bankruptcy-remote entity owned by the Sellers for the purpose of the Sellers' selling and/or contributing to it from time to time Receivables and related assets owned by the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; WHEREAS, the Sellers and Trust Depositor wish to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Trust Depositor will acquire such Receivables (including Subsequent Receivables) and related assets; and WHEREAS, Trust Depositor intends concurrently with each transfer of Assets hereunder to sell, transfer and otherwise absolutely convey all right, title and interest in and to the Assets to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Trust Depositor, the Trust, Bluegreen Corporation, in its capacity as Servicer, Concord Servicing Corporation, as Back-up Servicer, Vacation Trust, Inc., as club trustee, Heller Financial, Inc., as Facility Administrator, the Noteholders and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Indenture Trustee and Custodian (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT"), executed concurrently herewith; WHEREAS, the Sellers and Trust Depositor wish to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which (i) the Sellers will sell, transfer and otherwise absolutely convey the Assets to Trust Depositor, and (ii) the Receivables Files, deeds and other instruments, certificates, books, records and information of any kind relating to the Assets referred to in the foregoing clause (i) and from time to time sold and purchased hereunder and under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and transferred to the Custodian (as custodian and agent for the Indenture Trustee) under the Custodian Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the Sellers and Trust Depositor agree as follows: -1- 5 ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS SECTION 1.01 GENERAL. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein (including in the preamble above) have the meanings assigned to them in the Definitions Annex to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. SECTION 1.02 OTHER INTERPRETIVE PROVISIONS. Except to the extent otherwise specified in the particular term or provision at issue, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the Document Conventions. ARTICLE II AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER; ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT SECTION 2.01 CLOSING OF PURCHASES. During the Purchase Period, no later than twenty (20) days prior to each Purchase Date (or such shorter period to which Trust Depositor shall agree), the Sellers shall notify the Trust Depositor of the intent to effect a Purchase and the proposed Purchase Date thereof. During the Purchase Period, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Purchase Date (or such shorter period to which Trust Depositor shall agree), the Sellers will deliver or cause to be delivered to Trust Depositor a notice specifying all outstanding Eligible Receivables currently owned by the Sellers which the Sellers wish to sell, transfer and absolutely assign pursuant to this Agreement, together with the information described in Exhibit A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect thereto through such day. On or prior to the Purchase Date, Trust Depositor will notify the Sellers of the Eligible Receivables it will purchase (the "PURCHASED RECEIVABLES") on such date and the cash purchase price (the "SALE PRICE") it will pay for such purchase. To the extent that there is no Sale Price or the cash portion of the Sale Price for the Purchased Receivables is less than the fair market value thereof, the difference shall be deemed a capital contribution by the Sellers to the Trust Depositor. The Sellers and Trust Depositor shall enter into a certificate of assignment (the "SALE ASSIGNMENT"), dated as of each Purchase Date, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A hereto, identifying all Purchased Receivables being conveyed on such date and the Sellers shall execute an allonge (or other assignment in the case of Aruba Receivables) in the form of EXHIBIT C attached hereto with respect to Purchased Receivables sold hereunder. The Sale Price shall be payable by Trust Depositor in full by wire transfer on the Purchase Date to an account designated by the Sellers to Trust Depositor on or before the Purchase Date. Concurrent with the payment of the Sale Price, if any, for Purchased Receivables and execution of the Sale Assignment, the Sellers shall have, and shall be deemed for all purposes to have sold, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to Trust Depositor, in consideration therefor without recourse, representation or warranty other than as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, all the Sellers' rights, title and interest in and to the following (items (i) - (vi) below, collectively, being referred to as the "ASSETS"): -2- 6 (i) the Purchased Receivables identified by Trust Depositor to the Sellers as described above, and all payments of interest and principal, other Collections thereon and monies received, due or to become due in payment of such Purchased Receivables, after the applicable Cutoff Date; (ii) the Mortgages and other instruments or documents, if any, securing such Receivables; (iii) the related Receivable Files; (iv) all payments made or to be made after the Cutoff Date with respect to such Purchased Receivables or the Obligor thereunder under any guarantee or similar credit enhancement with respect to such Purchased Receivables; (v) all Insurance Proceeds with respect to each such Purchased Receivable; and (vi) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing arising after the applicable Cutoff Date. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or an assumption by Trust Depositor (or any assignee thereof) of any obligation of the Sellers in connection with the Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligor or any other Person, or (i) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority and (ii) any insurance premiums which remain owing with respect to any Receivable at the time such Receivable is sold hereunder. SECTION 2.02. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS UNDER AGREEMENT. Trust Depositor has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement to the Trust, which shall in turn assign its interest under this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders as may be required to effect the purposes of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, without further notice to, or consent of, the Sellers, and the Trust and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders shall succeed to such of the rights of Trust Depositor hereunder as shall be so assigned. The Sellers acknowledge that, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Trust Depositor will sell and assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Assets conveyed hereunder, including but not limited to, its right to exercise the remedies created by Section 6.01 hereof for breaches of representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in Article III hereof to the Trust, which shall in turn assign such right, title and interest to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders as well as any other covenants or representations or warranties made by the Sellers hereunder. The Sellers agree that, upon such assignment to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, such remedies, covenants and representations, including the repurchase obligations of Sellers with -3- 7 respect to breaches of such representations set forth herein and in Section 6.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, will run to and be for the benefit of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and their respective assignees and the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or such assignee may enforce the same directly without joinder of Trust Depositor. SECTION 2.03. CONVEYANCE OF SUBSEQUENT AND SUBSTITUTE RECEIVABLES. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Sellers may at their option (but shall not be obligated to) sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Trust Depositor (by delivery of an executed Subsequent Transfer Agreement substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT B hereto or, in the case of Substitute Receivables, by delivery of an executed Substitute Transfer Agreement substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT D hereto), without recourse, representation or warranty other than as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents (and in consideration of Trust Depositor's concurrent transfer of property, by exchange of one or more related Receivables released by the Trust to Trust Depositor on the Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of a Subsequent Receivable which is a Substitute Receivable) all the right, title and interest of the Sellers in and to the following (the property in clauses (i) - (vi) below, collectively upon such transfer, becoming part of the "ASSETS"): (i) the Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables) identified in the related Addition Notice, all payments of interest and principal, other Collections thereon and monies received, due or to become due in payment of such Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables) after the applicable Cutoff Date; (ii) the Mortgages and other instruments or documents, if any, securing such Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables); (iii) the related Receivable Files; (iv) all payments made or to be made after the Cutoff Date with respect to such Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables) or the Obligor thereunder under any guarantee or similar credit enhancement with respect to such Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables); (v) all Insurance Proceeds with respect to each such Subsequent Receivable (or Substitute Receivable); and (vi) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing arising after the applicable Cutoff Date. To the extent that the property delivered by Trust Depositor to the Sellers in exchange for the Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables) and related Assets being conveyed has a value less than the fair market value of such Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables) and related Assets, the difference, shall be deemed a capital contribution by the Sellers to Trust Depositor in respect of such Subsequent Receivables (or Substitute Receivables). -4- 8 Any such sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance shall not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by Trust Depositor (or any assignee thereof) of any obligation of the Sellers in connection with such Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligor or any other Person, or (i) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority and (ii) any insurance premiums which remain owing with respect to any such Receivable at the time such Receivable is conveyed hereunder. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Pursuant to each Sale Assignment, the Sellers will make, and upon execution of each Subsequent Purchase Agreement or Substitute Purchase Agreement will be deemed to remake, the representations and warranties set forth herein for the benefit of Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; provided, however, with respect to the representations and warranties relating to the Receivables, such representations and warranties shall be made only on their date of purchase hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties in this Article III shall survive the conveyance of the Purchased Receivables to Trust Depositor, any conveyance of the Purchased Receivables by Trust Depositor to the Trust and any conveyance of any interest therein to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall continue so long as any Purchased Receivable shall remain outstanding. The repurchase (or, in the alternative, substitution) obligation of the Sellers set forth in Section 6.01 below constitutes the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the Sellers. The Sellers are not responsible for and shall have no obligation with respect to the Obligors' payment obligations under the Purchased Receivables, except with respect to Servicer Advances as and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents and obligations under Section 6.01 hereof with respect to breaches of representations and warranties, when made, relating to the Receivables; provided, however, this sentence shall not be construed to limit, in any manner, any other Seller obligation under the Transaction Documents. On the Closing Date, upon the effectiveness of each conveyance of Assets hereunder each Seller makes, upon each conveyance of Subsequent Receivables under a Subsequent Purchase Agreement and upon each conveyance of Substitute Receivables under a Substitute Purchase Agreement, each Seller will be deemed to remake, the following representations and warranties: (a) ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. Each Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has full corporate power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party. -5- 9 (b) DUE QUALIFICATION. Each Seller is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or is exempt from such requirements), and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. (c) DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions provided for herein and therein, have been duly authorized by each Seller by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Seller. (d) NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller is a party, the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any material indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which any Seller is a party (or by which they or any of their property are bound). (e) NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery by the Sellers of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof (including, without limitation, the sale of Assets by the Sellers in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) will not conflict with or violate, in any material respect, any Requirements of Law applicable to any Seller. (f) NO PROCEEDINGS. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Sellers, threatened against any Seller, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to be adversely determined, and if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Sellers of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. (g) ALL CONSENTS REQUIRED. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental Authority required in connection with the Sellers' execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, have been obtained. (h) BULK SALES. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not require compliance with any "bulk sales" law by the Sellers. -6- 10 (i) SOLVENCY. After giving effect to the transactions under this Agreement, each Seller will be Solvent. (j) SELECTION PROCEDURES. No selection procedures believed by the Sellers to be materially adverse to the interests of Trust Depositor, the Trust or the Noteholders were utilized by the Sellers in selecting the Receivables constituting part of the Assets being sold hereunder. (k) TAXES. The Sellers have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to their knowledge, are required to be filed and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against them or any of their or their subsidiaries property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on them or any of their property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Sellers); no tax lien has been filed and, to the Sellers' knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge, except for such liens, fees or other charges which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Receivables or any Seller's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. (l) MARGIN STOCK. No Seller is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any Margin Stock. No Seller owns any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of any Purchase will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Seller will take or permit to be taken any action which might cause any Transaction Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not limit Bluegreen's ability to repurchase shares of its common stock so long as it is otherwise done in compliance with the terms hereof. (m) TITLE; PRIOR LIENS WITH RESPECT TO THE RESORTS AND ADDITIONAL RESORTS. Sellers and their Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to the Resorts or Additional Resorts (excluding sold Intervals and any equitable rights of Obligors under applicable state law to the Units under any conditional land sales contracts which relate to any Assets). (n) ACCESS. The Resorts and Additional Resorts relating to the Assets, have direct access to a publicly dedicated road over a recorded easement and all roadways, if any, inside the Resorts and Additional Resorts are or will be common areas under the declaration after the first purchase of Receivables originated at such Resort or Additional Resort. (o) UTILITIES. Electric, gas, sewer, water facilities and other necessary utilities are lawfully available in sufficient capacity to service the Units relating to the Intervals in the Resorts and Additional -7- 11 Resorts relating to the Receivables and any easements necessary to the furnishing of such utility service have been obtained and duly recorded. (p) AMENITIES. All amenities described in the sales prospectus and the "PUBLIC REPORTS" for the Resorts and Additional Resorts relating to the Receivables are completed, or will be completed in all material respects, in the time periods described in the "PUBLIC REPORTS", or a bond insuring their completion has been posted. Each Obligor has or will have in the time period described in the applicable "PUBLIC REPORTS" access to and the use of all of the amenities and public utilities of the Resorts and the Additional Resorts relating to the Receivables as and to the extent provided in the Declaration and the "PUBLIC REPORTS". (q) LOCATION OF OFFICES. The principal place of business and chief executive office of each Seller, and the office where each Seller keeps all the Records, are located at the addresses of such Seller referred to on SCHEDULE I hereof (or at such other locations as to which the notice and other requirements specified herein shall have been satisfied). (r) TRADENAMES. Except as described in SCHEDULE II, no Seller has trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or "DOING BUSINESS AS" names or other names under which either has done or is doing business. (s) ACCOUNTING. Each Seller accounts for the transfer from such Seller of interests in the Assets hereunder as sales of such Assets in its books, records and financial statements, in each case consistent with GAAP and with the requirements set forth herein. (t) INVESTMENT COMPANY AND PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY. No Seller is an "INVESTMENT COMPANY" within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a "HOLDING COMPANY" or a "SUBSIDIARY COMPANY" of a "HOLDING COMPANY," within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. (u) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT AND THE RECEIVABLES. The Sellers hereby represent and warrant to the Trust Depositor that, as of the Closing Date, each Purchase Date and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date: (i) BINDING OBLIGATION; VALID SALE AND TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP; PRECAUTIONARY GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. (A) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which any Seller is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general -8- 12 principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law). (B) The Sellers have good and marketable title to each Asset free and clear of any Lien, except Permitted Liens, of any Person and are the sole owners thereof and have full right to transfer the Assets to the Trust Depositor and to permit the Trust Depositor to transfer the same to the Trust. (C) It is the expressed intention of Sellers and Trust Depositor that this Agreement constitutes an irrevocable true sale and absolute transfer of ownership from Sellers to Trust Depositor of all right, title and interest of Sellers to Trust Depositor in, to and under the Assets, and that such transfer be free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Sellers or their Affiliates, except for Permitted Liens. Nevertheless, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction were to determine that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute a secured financing rather than a true sale, each Seller hereby grants, as a precautionary measure, a security interest in such Assets to the Trust Depositor. Upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 13.12 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such property, subject only to Permitted Liens. Neither the Sellers nor any Person claiming through or under Sellers or their Affiliates shall have any claim to or interest in any of the Trust Accounts, except to the extent set forth in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and, if, notwithstanding the expressed intention of the parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest (for collateral purposes) in such property, except for the interest of Sellers in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC. (ii) RECEIVABLES. On each Purchase Date, the Sellers shall be deemed to represent and warrant as of the applicable Cutoff Date solely with respect to the Receivables being sold on such date: (A) the List of Receivables and the Asset Report delivered in connection therewith is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Receivables in and to become part of the Asset Pool as of the applicable Cutoff Date and the information contained therein (including with -9- 13 respect to the identity of such Receivables, Obligors thereon, and the amounts owing thereunder) is true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Cutoff Date, (B) each Receivable is evidenced by one original and was originated in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law; (C) each Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, (D) each Receivable and the related Assets have been transferred to the Trust Depositor free and clear of any Lien of any Person (other than Permitted Liens) and in compliance, in all material respects, with all Requirements of Law applicable to any Seller, and (E) with respect to each Receivable, all material consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by any Seller in connection with the transfer of such Receivable and the related Assets to the Trust Depositor have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect. (iii) NOTICE OF BREACH. Upon discovery by the Sellers or the Trust Depositor of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other, the Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator. ARTICLE IV SELLERS AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS SECTION 4.01. RECORDS. Sellers shall keep adequate records and books of account reflecting all financial transactions of Sellers relating to the Assets and (to the extent available to the Sellers) the Time Share Associations, including sales of Intervals, all in accordance with GAAP. SECTION 4.02. USE OF NOTEHOLDERS' NAMES. Sellers will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, without the prior written consent of any Noteholder, use the name of any Noteholder or the name of any Affiliates of any Noteholder in connection with any of their respective businesses or activities, except in connection with internal business matters, administration of the Transaction -10- 14 Documents and as required in dealing with governmental agencies or any applicable stock exchange including any reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. SECTION 4.03. OTHER DOCUMENTS. To the extent not maintained by the Custodian or Servicer, Sellers will maintain accurate and complete files relating to the Receivables and the related Assets to the satisfaction of Trust Depositor and the Trust, and such files (to the extent not computerized) will contain copies of each Receivable and the related assets together with the purchase agreements, truth-in-lending statements, all relevant credit memoranda and all collection information and correspondence relating to such Receivables. SECTION 4.04. SELLERS' DUES REQUIREMENT. The Sellers for as long as any Seller or one of its Subsidiaries controls the Resorts or Additional Resorts, shall provide such monies as are necessary to maintain services for a Resort or an Additional Resort which are equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of such Resorts' or Additional Resorts' total operating expenses, taxes, utilities and associated reserve fund requirements. SECTION 4.05. CONSOLIDATION AND MERGER. No Seller will consolidate with or merge into any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into them or convey all or substantially all of their respective assets to any Person, unless (i) either such Seller shall be the surviving corporation or the successor corporation or the Person which is the surviving or successor corporation or which acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of such Seller shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and shall expressly assume the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed or observed by such Seller, by an amendment hereto in form reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator, and (ii) such Seller or such successor corporation, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, be in breach in the performance of any such covenant or condition of this Agreement. SECTION 4.06. RECEIVABLES. The Sellers shall not take any action (nor permit or consent to the taking of any action) which might reasonably be anticipated to impair the value of the Receivables or related Assets or any of the rights of the Trust in the Receivables or related Assets; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 4.06 shall be construed as requiring the Sellers to guarantee or otherwise become liable for the payment of the Obligors' payments under the Receivables. SECTION 4.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Sellers and, to the extent within the control of Bluegreen or an Affiliate thereof, each of the Units in which Intervals are being sold, shall comply with, conform to and obey each and every judgment, law, statute, rule and governmental regulation applicable to it and each indenture, order, instrument, agreement or document to which it is a party or by which it is bound except where the failure to comply would not have a material adverse effect on the Receivables. SECTION 4.08. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. -11- 15 (a) The operations of Sellers comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws. (b) There are no claims, investigations, litigation, administrative proceedings, whether pending or, to Sellers' best knowledge, threatened, or judgments or orders, relating to any Hazardous Materials or alleging the violation of any Environmental Laws (collectively "ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS") relating in any way to any operations of Sellers on any real property leased or owned by Sellers or to the operations of Sellers the result of which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Receivables or any Seller's ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. (c) To Sellers' knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are presently stored or otherwise located on, in or under any real property leased, owned or operated by Sellers except in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and, no part of any real property leased, owned or operated by Sellers or to Sellers' best knowledge, adjacent parcels, including the groundwater located thereon, is presently contaminated by any such Hazardous Material in any manner which could reasonably by expected to have a material adverse effect on the Receivables or any Seller's ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.

SECTION 8.13. INTENDED CHARACTERIZATION. The Sellers and the Trust Depositor agree that any conveyance hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement is intended to be a sale and absolute conveyance of ownership of the Assets, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing. If, notwithstanding such expressed interest, any such transfer is deemed to be of a mere security interest to secure indebtedness, each Seller shall be deemed to have granted (and hereby grants to) the Trust Depositor a perfected first priority security interest in such Assets and this Agreement -19- 23 shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, securing the repayment of the purchase price paid hereunder and the obligations and/or interests provided for in this Agreement and in the order and priorities, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto. If such transfer is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, Trust Depositor may, to secure Trust Depositor's own obtainment of funds under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (to the extent that the conveyance of the Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign (i) all or a portion of the Assets pledged to Trust Depositor and not released from the security interest of this Agreement at the time of such pledge and assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made by Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by Trust Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from any Seller. Each Seller waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against Trust Depositor or any assignee of Trust Depositor relating to such action by Trust Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement. SECTION 8.14. SELLERS.
