          (f) All payments to be made by the Company in respect of its obligations hereunder other than the Full Recourse Obligations shall be made only from Collateral (including proceeds obtained following the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement), and only to the extent that the Company, the Agent or the Lenders shall have received sufficient payments from such proceeds to make payments in respect of such obligations in accordance with Section 2.21.
          (g) The Revolving Loan of a Lender may be evidenced by a Note issued by the Company in accordance with Section 9.6(d).
          2.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
          (b) The Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin or, if Loans are to be converted to Federal Funds Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.13, the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
          (c) Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.8 shall be payable from time to time on demand.
          (d) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any non-use fee or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 plus 1% or (y) in the case of overdue interest or other amount, the rate described in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8 plus 1%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). For purposes of this Agreement, principal shall be “overdue” only if not paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7.
          2.9. Non-use fee. The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, a non-use fee for each day prior to the termination of the Commitments equal to 0.20% per annum on the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate Commitments on such day over (y) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding. On each Settlement Date (or, if earlier, on the date upon which both the Commitments are terminated and the Loans are paid in full), the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the portion of such non-use fee which accrued during the Settlement Period most recently ended (or, in the case of the payment due on the Maturity Date, the portion thereof ending on such date); provided that any

22


 

Lender may waive the non-use fee payable to it in its sole discretion (it being understood that, if a Lender shall so waive the payment of the non-use fee payable to it, no Event of Default shall occur with respect to any failure to pay such Lender its non-use fee).
          2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Loans bearing interest at the Prime Rate, a year of 365 or 366 days as appropriate (in each case including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All fees shall be computed on the basis of a year composed of twelve 30-day months. The Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to this Agreement.
          2.11. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If the LIBO Rate cannot be determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of the term “LIBO Rate” contained in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until such time as the LIBO Rate can be determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of such term contained in said Section 1.1, the LIBO Rate shall be the last LIBO Rate that the Agent was able to determine.
          2.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (b) Each Borrowing of Loans from the Lenders hereunder and (except as provided in Section 2.17(c)) any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders.
          (c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the due date thereof to the Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
          (d) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the deadline for funding a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing available to the Agent, the Agent may

23


 

assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Agent, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Agent by the required time on the borrowing date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Agent. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing is not made available to the Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such borrowing date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, on demand, from the Company.
          2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Agent and the Company describing the relevant provisions of such Requirement of Law (and, if the Company shall so request, provide the Company with a memorandum or opinion of counsel of recognized standing (as selected by such Lender) as to such illegality), following which (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make and continue Loans as such shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Federal Funds Rate Loans (i) on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or (ii) within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.16.
          2.14. Increased Costs. (b) If there shall be (i) any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or (ii) any reduction in any amount receivable in respect thereof, and such increased cost or reduced amount receivable is due to either:
     (x) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof; or
     (y) the compliance with any guideline or request made after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law),
then (subject to the provisions of Section 2.17) the Company shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender pay such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
          (c) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that (i) the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 paper of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or (ii) the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital

24


 

adequacy affecting such Lender, or (iii) any change arising after the date hereof in the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or any lending office of such Lender), or any holding company for such Lender which is subject to any of the capital requirements described above, with any request or directive of general application issued after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of any such holding company as a direct consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or any such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then (subject to the provisions of Section 2.17) from time to time such Lender may request the Company to pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or any such holding company for any such reduction suffered, net of the savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such increased capital requirement. Any certificate as to such amounts which is delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(a) shall, in addition to any items required by Section 2.17(a), include the calculation of the savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such increased capital requirement; provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to pay or refund any amounts to the Company on account of such savings.
          (d) In the event that any Governmental Authority shall impose any LIBO Reserve Requirements which increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining Loans, then (subject to the provisions of Section 2.17) the Company shall thereafter pay in respect of the Loans of such Lender a rate of interest based upon the LIBO Reserve Rate (rather than upon the LIBO Rate). From and after the delivery to the Company of the certificate required by Section 2.17(a), all references contained in this Agreement to the LIBO Rate shall be deemed to be references to the LIBO Reserve Rate with respect to each such affected Lender.
          2.15. Taxes. (b) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) or any other tax based upon net income imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) a net amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to increase any such amounts

25


 

payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
          (b) In addition, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
          (c) Each Lender that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“Non-US Lender”) shall:
     (X)(i) on or before the date such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender or a Transferee (as defined in Section 9.6(g) of this Agreement) under this Agreement, deliver to the Company and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction, withholding or backup withholding of any United States federal income taxes;
     (ii) if, and to the extent, such Lender is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company; and
     (iii) if, and to the extent, such Lender is legally entitled to do so, obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Agent; or
     (Y) in the case of any such Non-US Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal Withholding Tax under that is not a “bank” within the Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payment of “portfolio interest”, deliver on or before the date such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender or a Participant under this Agreement, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G (any such certificate a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”), (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to a complete exemption from US withholding tax, (C) two further copies of such form and certification (I) on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and (II) if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally able to provide such form or certification, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the

26


 

Company, (D) if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally able to do so, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent for filing and completing such forms, and (E) agree, if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to a complete exemption from or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes;
unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the Agent. Each Non-U.S. Lender that is an Assignee or Participant hereunder pursuant to Section 9.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements, documentation or certifications to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased, and such Lender shall in turn furnish all such required forms (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY), documentation and certifications to the Company and the Agent.
          (d) If and to the extent that a Lender, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received or been granted a credit against, a relief from, a remission of, or a repayment of, any Non-Excluded Tax, in respect of which it has received additional payment under Section 2.15(a) of this Agreement, then such Lender shall pay to the Company the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment so determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), attributable to such deduction or withholding of Non-Excluded Tax; provided that the Lender shall not be obligated to make any payment under this paragraph in respect of such credit, relief, refund, remission or repayment until the Lender, in its sole judgment (exercised in good faith), is satisfied that its tax affairs for the tax year in respect of which such credit, relief, remission or repayment was obtained have been finally settled.
          2.16. Indemnity. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(a), the Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss (other than lost profits) or reasonable expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
     (a) default by the Company in making a borrowing of into or continuation of any Loan hereunder after the Company has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
     (b) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
     (c) the making of a prepayment of Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto;

27


 

     (d) A Receivable, Developer Loan, Pre-Sale Receivable or A, D & C Loan which is certified by the Company to be an Eligible Receivable, Eligible Developer Loan, Eligible Pre-Sale Receivable or Eligible A, D & C Loan, respectively, is not an Eligible Receivable, Eligible Developer Loan, Eligible Pre-Sale Receivable or Eligible A, D & C Loan at such time such eligibility is certified;
     (e) reliance on any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Company or the Master Servicer under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or Developer Facility Document to which it is a party, which shall have been false or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made or delivered, including, without limitation, a breach of the certification required under Section 2.18 in connection with a release of Collateral from the Agent’s security interest;
     (f) the failure by the Company to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the lien release provisions in Section 2.18 hereof) or any other Credit Document or Developer Agreement or by the Company, any Developer, or the Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Collateral (or any assets securing the obligations of the Developer in connection therewith) or the nonconformity of any Collateral with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;
     (g) the failure to grant a Lien on, vest and maintain vested in the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a valid and perfected Lien in the Collateral free and clear of any Adverse Claim or any Permitted Lien except in favor of any the Agent whether existing at the time such Collateral arose or at any time thereafter;
     (h) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, mortgages, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under applicable laws against the Company with respect to any Collateral or the failure to properly record any Mortgage in favor of the applicable Developer with respect to any Pre-Sale Receivable or Receivable (except in the case of a Right-to-Use Agreement);
     (i) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of (i) the Obligor to the payment of any Pledged Pre-Sale Receivable or Receivable (including a defense based on any related Timeshare sale agreement not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms) or (ii) the Developer with respect to a Pledged Loan, a Timeshare Backed Loan or a Developer Agreement;
     (j) any failure of any Developer, the Company or any of its Affiliates to perform its services, duties or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, paying all taxes, including sales, excise, stamp and personal property taxes, when due;
     (k) the payment of such Indemnified Party of taxes, including, without limitation, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and any liability

28


 

(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, to the extent caused by the Company’s actions or failure to act in breach of this Agreement;
     (l) any claim, action or proceeding of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Collateral, including any products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or environmental claim or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort;
     (m) the commingling of funds or other assets of the Company with those of any Affiliate of the Company, or maintaining any bank account or other depository account to which any such Affiliate is an account party, into which any such Affiliate makes deposits or from which any such Affiliate has the power to make withdrawals;
     (n) any third-party claims arising from the Company administration of the Collateral, the use of proceeds of Loans or the existence of the transactions evidenced by the Credit Documents, including any investigation, litigation or proceeding in respect of the foregoing;
     (o) with respect to any Right-to-Use Agreement, (a) the termination thereof (whether by rejection under Section 365 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) or other cancellation thereof as a result of or in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding related to the Developer party to such Right-to-Use Agreement or (b) the termination thereof or the cancellation thereof by the related Obligor as a result of the Developer’s (or its agent’s or designee’s) failure to comply with, or perform its obligations under, the terms and requirements of such Right-to-Use Agreement; and
Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be paid by the Company to the Agent within thirty (30) Business Days following Agent’s demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for the purposes of this Section 2.16, any representation, warranty, or covenant qualified by the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or limited by a qualifier with respect to the Company’s knowledge shall not be so qualified or limited.
Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin included therein) over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank LIBO market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
          2.17. Notice of Amounts Payable; Relocation of Lending Office; Mandatory Assignment. (b) In the event that any Lender becomes aware that any amounts are or will be owed to it pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(a) or 2.16, then it shall promptly notify the

29


 

Company thereof and, as soon as possible thereafter, such Lender shall submit to the Company a certificate indicating the amount owing to it and the calculation thereof. The amounts set forth in such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the obligations of the Company hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to pay any amount owing to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(a) or 2.16 shall not be deemed to constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder to the extent that the Company is contesting in good faith its obligation to pay such amount by ongoing discussions diligently pursued with such Lender or by appropriate proceedings. The Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
          (c) If a Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15(a), it shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid the need for paying such additional amounts, including changing the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office, provided that the taking of any such action would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.
          (d) In the event that any Lender delivers to the Company a certificate in accordance with Section 2.17(a) (other than a certificate as to amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16), or the Company is required to pay any additional amounts or other payments in accordance with Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15(a), the Company may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion, (i) require such Lender to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance with Section 9.6), all or part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Person (provided that the Company, with the full cooperation of such Lender, can identify a Person who is ready, willing and able to be an Assignee with respect to thereto) which shall assume such assigned obligations or (ii) during such time as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Lender and prepay all outstanding Loans of such Lender; provided that (x) the Company or the Assignee, as the case may be, shall have paid to such Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and (subject to Section 2.16) all other amounts owed to it hereunder and (y) such assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender and the prepayment of Loans is not prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or Governmental Authority.
          2.18. Release of Pledged Pre-Sale Loans and Pledged Loans. (b) Upon (i) the Final Collection Date with respect to all Pledged Loans subject to the terms of this Agreement which are in existence on such date, (ii) the written request of the Company asking for the release of a Defaulted Pre-Sale Receivable or Defaulted A, D & C Loan to allow for the sale of a Timeshare or Resort, respectively, pursuant to a judicial foreclosure or (iii) the payment in full of all amounts owing with respect to a Pledged Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Developer Agreement or otherwise, the Agent, following the Company delivery to the Agent of the necessary documents and instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, shall release to the Company or its designee any documents in custody and other items of

30


 

Collateral related to the affected Pre-Sale Receivables and/or Pledged Loans in order to effect the transfer from the Agent to the relevant Person of such Pre-Sale Receivables and/or Pledged Loans; and such Pre-Sale Receivables and/or Pledged Loans so transferred and released shall no longer constitute part of the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement and shall not be considered Eligible Pre-Sale Receivables or Eligible A, D & C Loans, as applicable.
          (c) In conjunction with the Company’s performance of its duties hereunder, including administering the Pre-Sale Receivables and Pledged Loans, the Company may remove Pre-Sale Receivables and Pledged Loans from the Collateral and the Agent’s security interest therein shall automatically terminate and be released, without further action by the Agent, so long as both before and after giving effect to such termination and release, the following conditions are satisfied (and the Company shall be deemed to certify the accuracy of the following at the time it removes any Pre-Sale Receivable or Pledged Loan pursuant to the terms hereof): (i) there shall not exist any Event of Default nor shall any Event of Default result from such termination and release, (ii) the Company’s representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects after giving effect to such termination and release, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Loans shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (iv) such release shall not cause a borrowing base shortfall, default, event of default or similar event under the applicable Developer Agreements to which such Pre-Sale Receivables or A, D & C Loans are subject.
          (d) The Company may at any time request that a Pledged Loan be removed from the Collateral and that the Agent’s security interest therein be terminated. The Agent in its sole discretion may consent to such request or reject such request. The Company at no time shall make such a request unless each of the following conditions are satisfied, both before and after giving effect to the requested termination and release (and the Company shall be deemed to certify the accuracy of the following at the time of the requested termination pursuant to the terms hereto): (i) there shall not exist any Event of Default nor shall any Event of Default result from such termination and release, (ii) the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects after giving effect to such termination and release, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Loans shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (iv) such release shall not cause a Borrowing Base shortfall, default, event of default or similar event under the applicable Developer Agreement. If the Agent consents in writing to such a release, then the Agent, following the Company’s delivery to the Agent of each of the necessary documents and instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, shall release to the Company or its designee any documents in the Agent’s custody and other items of Collateral related to the affected Pledged Loans, and shall, at the cost and expense of the Company, deliver such releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to effect the transfer to the relevant Person of such Pledged Loans, and such Pledged Loans so transferred and released shall no longer constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not be considered Eligible A, D & C Loans.
          2.19. New Developers; Addition of Collateral.
          (b) If the Company wishes to add to the Collateral a Developer Loan extended to a Developer not then listed on Schedule IV, the Company shall, together with a Loan request,

31


 

deliver a Developer Supplement for each such Developer; provided that no Developer Supplement shall be required with respect to any Person for which a Developer Supplement shall have been executed under, and as defined in, the Bank Facility Agreement so long as the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Developer Loans of such Person in the Loan Portfolio does not exceed $10,000,000, and such a Person shall constitute a “Developer” hereunder. Each such Developer Supplement, together with the corresponding Loan request, shall be delivered to the Agent at least five Business Days prior to the date on which any Loan secured by such Collateral is to be advanced. Each such Developer Supplement shall be executed by the Company.
          (c) The effectiveness of any Developer Supplement is subject to the following: (i) satisfaction of the related eligibility requirements herein, (ii) delivery of the applicable A, D & C Loan Agreement and A, D & C Note to the Company in trust for the Agent, and (iii) the perfection on a first-priority basis of the Agent’s interests in the new Collateral.

The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
          8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company.
          8.4. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.

Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
          8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates (in their respective capacities as such, but only to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to

42


 

their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date of payment in full) but giving effect to any subsequent assignments in accordance with Section 9.6, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be). The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
          8.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.
          8.9. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company and following the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.9. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve as Agent a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and 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 or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the obligations owing hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS
          9.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, nor any terms hereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Company written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Company, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the obligations owing hereunder. In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

     (A) the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and

46


 

shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
     (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an assignment and assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each, an “Assignment and Assumption”);

          For the purposes of this Section 9.6, the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings:
Approved Fund”: (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an affiliate of such investment advisor.
CLO”: entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an affiliate of such Lender.
          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.5); provided that no Assignee shall then be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive thereunder in respect of the rights and obligations assigned by such assigning Lender to such Assignee had no such assignment occurred. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement

47


 

that does not comply with this Section 9.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
          (iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Company therein recorded, and the Company, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Agent shall provide a copy of the Register to the Company on a monthly basis.
          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.
          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Company, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) such Lender shall have given prior written notice to the Company of the identity of such Participant. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. Any

48


 

Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.15(c)(X)(i).
          (d) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any portion of its Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Company hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Company has made its initial Borrowing hereunder, the Company shall provide to such Lender, at the Company’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, evidencing the Loans or Term Loans owing to such Lender (a “Note”).
          (e) On or prior to the effective date of an assignment, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned, and the Company shall, upon the request to the Agent made at the time of such assignment by the assigning Lender or the Assignee, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Agent (in exchange for the outstanding Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the amount of such Assignee’s Loan. Any such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Agent to the Company marked “cancelled”.
          (f) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective Participant, any Participant or any prospective Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company, its Affiliates and the Collateral which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to all Lenders by or on behalf of the Company in connection with their respective credit evaluations of the Company, its Affiliates and the Collateral prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such Transferee has executed and delivered to the Company and the transferring Lender a written confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) the Company has been informed of the identity of such Transferee and has consented (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the disclosure of such information thereto. Nothing contained in this Section 9.6(f) shall be deemed to prohibit the delivery to any Transferee of any information which is otherwise publicly available.
          9.7. Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f), or otherwise), such that it has received aggregate payments or collateral on account of its Loans in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans which are then due and payable, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender,

49


 

such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
          9.8. Counterparts. (a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Agent.
