THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY. 2.1. COMMITMENT TO LEND. (a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, each of the Banks severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time to time from the Closing Date up to but not including the Conversion Date, upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with Section 2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Bank's Commitment then in effect, provided that the sum of the outstanding Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment then in effect and (ii) the Borrowing Base. The Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Bank's Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 10 and Section 11, in the case of the initial Loan to be made on the Closing Date, and Section 11, in the case of all other Loans, have been satisfied on the date of such request. (b) [Intentionally Omitted.] (c) General. The Borrower acknowledges, agrees and confirms that the effectiveness of this Credit Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10 and Section 11 on or before July 30, 2004. If the conditions set forth in Section 10 and Section 11 are not satisfied on or before July 30, 2004, then this Credit Agreement, -25- and the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be null and void AB INITIO and of no further force and effect. (d) Suspension of Loans. If any stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or nonjudicial sanction shall be issued limiting or otherwise materially adversely affecting any Intervals sales activities, other business operations in respect of the Eligible Projects, or the enforcement of the remedies of the Agent and the Banks hereunder or under the Security Documents, then, in such event, the Agent and the Banks shall have no obligation to make any Loans hereunder: (i) in respect of Eligible Consumer Loans from the sale of Intervals, which are the subject of any stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or nonjudicial sanction until the stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or nonjudicial sanction has been lifted or released to the satisfaction of the Agent and (ii) in respect of consumer loans from the sale of Intervals at any Eligible Project if: (x) the stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or nonjudicial sanction in question has not been lifted or released to the satisfaction of the Agent within sixty (60) days of its issuance and (y) there is a reduction in the total number of sales of Intervals by the Borrower in any Loan Year of more than twenty percent (20%) from the total number of sales of Intervals in the immediately preceding Loan Year. (e) Change in Control. If there shall occur a change, singly or in the aggregate, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the executive management of the Borrower as described in SCHEDULE 2.1(e), the Banks shall have no obligation to make any Loans hereunder, unless within thirty (30) days prior thereto the Borrower provides the Banks with written information setting forth the replacement executive management personnel of the Borrower together with a description of those Persons' experience, ability and reputation, and the Agent, acting in good faith, determines that the replacement management personnel's experience, ability and reputation is equal to or greater than that of the Borrower as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.1(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the makeup of the Borrower's Board of Directors may be altered in accordance with the Bond Holder Exchange Documents, provided that no more than two (2) of the five (5) positions shall be controlled by the holders of the New Notes. (f) [Intentionally Omitted.] 2.2. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2.3. THE NOTES. The Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B hereto (each a "NOTE"). Each of the Notes shall be dated as of the Closing Date and completed with appropriate insertions. One Note shall be payable to the order of each Bank in a principal amount equal to such Bank's Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Bank, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Bank to make or cause to be made, at or about -26- the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Bank's Note, an appropriate notation on such Bank's Note Record reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on such Bank's Note record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Bank's Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note when due. 2.4. INTEREST ON LOANS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.7, each Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date such Loan is repaid at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month for the prior calendar month. 2.5. REQUESTS FOR LOANS. The Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice in the form of EXHIBIT C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in a writing in the form of EXHIBIT C hereto) of each Loan requested hereunder (a "LOAN REQUEST") no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loan. Each such notice shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Loan requested and (ii) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Loan. Each Loan Request shall be accompanied by a Borrowing Base Certificate. With each Loan Request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the Required Consumer Loan Documents for the Eligible Consumer Loans and the Required Eligible Inventory Documents for the Intervals to be pledged by the Borrower to the Agent and upon which such Loan Request is based so that the Borrowing Base shall exceed the outstanding amount of all Loans (including the Loans included in such Loan Request). By submitting a Loan Request, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that (i) the information in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate remains true and accurate as of the date of such Loan Request, (ii) the proceeds of such Loan shall be used by the Borrower in accordance with Section 6.19.1, and (iii) that after giving effect to the requested advance, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans will not exceed the lesser of the Total Commitment and the Borrowing Base. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Banks thereof. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan(s) requested from the Banks on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Borrower shall not submit more frequently than once a calendar week a Loan Request. 2.6. FUNDS FOR LOANS. 2.6.1. FUNDING PROCEDURES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including receipt by each Bank of a Loan Request within the time period specified in Section 2.5), not later than 1:00 p.m. (Providence, Rhode Island time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans, each of the Banks, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent's Office, in -27- immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans. Upon receipt from each such Bank of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by Sections 10 and 11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Loans made available to the Agent by the Banks. The failure or refusal of any Bank to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Bank from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Bank's Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans. 2.6.2. ADVANCES BY AGENT. The Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Bank prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Bank has made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the Loans to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Bank makes available to the Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the average computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Agent for federal funds acquired by the Agent during each day included in such period, times (ii) the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Loans, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Drawdown Date (or such later date which is two Business Days after such Bank received the Loan Request for such Loan) to the date on which the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Loans shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of which is 365. A statement of the Agent submitted to such Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by such Bank. If the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Loans is not made available to the Agent by such Bank within three (3) Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Loans made on such Drawdown Date. 2.7. CHANGE IN BORROWING BASE; INELIGIBLE CONSUMER LOANS OR INVENTORY. (a) The Borrowing Base shall be determined weekly (or at such other intervals as may be specified pursuant to Section 7.4(f)) by the Agent by reference to the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Banks and the Agent pursuant to Section 7.4(f) and other information obtained by or provided to the Agent or any of the Banks. The Agent shall give to the Borrower written notice of any change in the Borrowing Base determined by the Required Banks. In the case of any change in the general criteria -28- for Eligible Consumer Loans or Eligible Inventory, such notice shall be effective upon its receipt by the Borrower. Prior to the time that such notice becomes effective, the Borrowing Base shall be computed as it would have been computed in the absence of such notice. (b) If any consumer loan or Interval pledged as Consumer Loan Collateral or Eligible Inventory shall subsequent to the pledge under any Security Document no longer qualify as an Eligible Consumer Loan or Eligible Inventory, such consumer loan or Interval shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base, and the Borrower (i) shall replace such consumer loan or Interval with an Eligible Consumer Loan or Eligible Inventory, as the case may be, that provides the same amount of credit to the Borrowing Base, (ii) shall reduce the amount of outstanding Loans (if necessary) so that the total amount of Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, or (iii) in the case of consumer loans only, if the Borrower is unable to replace such consumer loan with an Eligible Consumer Loan or reduce the Loan, and the Required Banks give their prior written consent, may replace such consumer loan with a consumer loan that does not satisfy the criteria for being classified as an Eligible Consumer Loan. In the event that any Eligible Consumer Loan becomes available thereafter, the Borrower shall promptly substitute such Eligible Consumer Loan for the ineligible consumer loan pledged to the Agent. 2.8. REPAYMENTS OF LOANS PRIOR TO EVENT OF DEFAULT. 2.8.1. CREDIT FOR FUNDS RECEIVED IN BORROWER'S ACCOUNT. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as to which the account officers of the Agent active upon the Borrower's account have actual knowledge, (i) all funds and cash proceeds in the form of money, checks and like items received in the Borrower's Account as contemplated by Section 7.18 shall be credited, on the same Business Day on which the Agent determines that good collected funds have been received, and, prior to the receipt of good collected funds, may, in the Agent's discretion, be credited on a provisional basis until final receipt of good collected funds, and applied as contemplated by Section 2.8.2, (ii) all funds and cash proceeds in the form of a wire transfer received in the Borrower's Account as contemplated by Section 7.18 shall be credited on the same Business Day as the Agent's receipt of such amounts (or up to such later date as the Agent determines that good collected funds have been received), and applied as contemplated by Section 2.8.2, and (iii) all funds and cash proceeds in the form of an automated clearing house transfer received in the Borrower's Account as contemplated by Section 7.18 shall be credited, on the next Business Day following the Agent's receipt of such amounts (or up to such later date as the Agent determines that good collected funds have been received), and applied as contemplated by Section 2.8.2. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8.1, the Agent shall not be deemed to have received any such funds or cash proceeds on any day unless received by the Agent before 2:30 p.m. (Providence, Rhode Island time) on such day. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that any such provisional credits or credits in respect of wire or automatic clearing house funds transfers shall be subject to reversal if final collection in good funds of the related item is not received by, -29- or final settlement of the funds transfer is not made in favor of, the Agent in accordance with the Agent's customary procedures and practices for collecting provisional items or receiving settlement of funds transfers. 2.8.2. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS PRIOR TO EVENT OF DEFAULT. (a) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which the account officers of the Agent active on the Borrower's account have knowledge, and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8.2(b), all funds transferred to the Borrower's Account and for which the Borrower has received credits shall be applied to the Obligations once each calendar week as follows: (i) first, to pay the fees, expenses, costs, and any past due amounts (other than principal and interest on any Loans) due and payable by the Borrower to the Agent or any Bank; (ii) second, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans, and any other Obligations then due and payable (other than the principal of the Loans); (iii) third, to reduce the principal of the Loans; and (iv) fourth, to pay the Obligations under and as defined in the Receivables Credit Agreement as specified therein. (b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which the account officers of the Agent active on the Borrower's account have knowledge, any funds in the Borrower's Account constituting proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, or otherwise funds generated by or from, the Receivables Loan Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to pay the fees, expenses, and any past due amounts (other than principal and interest on any Loans) due and payable by the Borrower to Sovereign; (ii) second, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans of Sovereign, and any other Obligations then due and payable to Sovereign (other than the principal of the Loans); (iii) third, to reduce the principal of the Loans of Sovereign; (iv) fourth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans of the Banks (other than Sovereign) and any other Obligations then due and payable (other than the principal of the Loans) to the Banks (other than Sovereign); (v) fifth, to reduce the principal of the Loans of the Banks (other than Sovereign); and -30- (vi) sixth, to pay the Obligations under and as defined in the Receivables Credit Agreement as specified therein. (c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8.2(a) or (b), all prepayments of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8.2 shall be allocated among the Banks making such Loans, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of such Loans outstanding, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion. 2.9. REPAYMENTS OF LOANS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the account officers of the Agent active on the Borrower's account have knowledge, all funds transferred to the Borrower's Account and for which the Borrower has received credits shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 12.5. 2.10. CLOSING FEE. The Borrower shall pay the fee (the "CLOSING FEE") specified in the Fee Letter of even date between the Agent and the Borrower. 3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS. 3.1. MATURITY. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all of the Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 3.2. MANDATORY REPAYMENTS OF LOANS. (a) Scheduled Payments of Loans. Not later than December 31, 2005, the Borrower may request in writing to the Agent and the Banks that the Conversion Date be extended. If the Agent and each of the Banks, in their sole discretion, consent to such request, the Conversion Date shall be extended for such period as determined by the Agent and the Banks. Effective upon the occurrence of the Conversion Date, the Commitments shall terminate and the Borrower shall pay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in equal (as nearly as possible) monthly installments (the "MONTHLY PRINCIPAL PAYMENT"), the calculation of which payment shall be determined by the Agent, with a final payment due on the Maturity Date in the amount of remaining outstanding principal amount of the Loans. Such Monthly Principal Payments shall be made on the last Business Day of each calendar month. Absent a Default or an Event of Default, following the Conversion Date, all payments of principal and interest on the Consumer Loan Collateral and the Inventory Collateral (including Release Prices) shall continue to be paid to the Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Banks and the Agent, and the Agent shall apply such payments as set forth in Section 2.8.2(a) to satisfy the Borrower's obligations under this Section 3.2(a). In the event that on the last Business Day of any calendar month following the Conversion Date, the proceeds of the Consumer Loan Collateral and the Inventory Collateral (including Release Prices) applied to the principal of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.8.2(a)(iii) during such month are less than the -31- Monthly Principal Payment due on such date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on such day the amount by which such Monthly Principal Payment exceeds the sum of the proceeds of the Consumer Loan Collateral and the Inventory Collateral applied to the principal of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.8.2(a)(iii). (b) Overadvances. If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Loans exceeds the Total Commitment or the Borrowing Base (except, in the case of the Borrowing Base, as otherwise permitted in Section 2.7(b)) then in effect, then the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for application to the Loans. (c) [Intentionally Omitted.] 3.3. OPTIONAL REPAYMENTS OF LOANS. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be required to pay the Release Price for the release of any Eligible Inventory pledged to secure the Obligations. The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Providence, Rhode Island time, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice, of any proposed repayment pursuant to this Section 3.3 of Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans and the principal amount to be paid. Each such partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the applicable Banks, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each Bank's Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in proportion. 4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS. 4.1. FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS. 4.1.1. PAYMENTS TO AGENT. All payments of principal, interest, and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Agent in Dollars, for the respective accounts of the applicable Banks and the Agent, at the Agent's Office or at such other place that the Agent may from time to time designate, in each case at or about 11:00 a.m. (Providence, Rhode Island, time or other local time at the place of payment) and in immediately available funds. 4.1.2. NO OFFSET, ETC. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon -32- the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Banks or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Banks or the Agent to receive the same net amount which such Banks or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document. 4.2. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest on the Loans shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any notice by the Agent or any of the Banks of such outstanding amount, the Agent or such Bank shall notify the Borrower to the contrary. 4.3. ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Bank or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall: (a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Bank's Commitment or any of the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Bank or the Agent), or (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Bank of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Bank or the Agent under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets -33- held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Bank, or (d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the Loans, such Bank's Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Bank's Commitment forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is (i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Bank's Commitment, or (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, or other amount payable to such Bank or the Agent hereunder on account of such Bank's Commitment or any of the Loans, or (iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by such Bank or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Bank or the Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. 4.4. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If after the date hereof any Bank or the Agent determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) compliance by such Bank or the Agent or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Agent with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Bank's or the Agent's commitment with respect to any Loans to a level below that which such Bank or the Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's or the Agent's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Bank or (as the case may be) the Agent to be material, then such Bank or the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate, the Borrower agrees to pay such Bank or (as the case may be) the Agent for the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined upon presentation by such Bank or (as the case -34- may be) the Agent of a certificate in accordance with Section 4.5 hereof. Each Bank shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis. 4.5. CERTIFICATE.

AMOUNTS NOT OVERDUE. During the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the principal of the Loans not overdue shall, until such Default or Event of Default has been cured or remedied or such Default or Event of Default has been waived by the Required Banks pursuant to Section 24, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Loans pursuant to Section 2.4. Any installment or payment due hereunder which shall be received by the Agent more than ten (10) days after its due date shall be subject to an additional charge of five percent (5%) per annum on the amount so overdue (but in no event higher than the maximum allowed by applicable law). 5.

Without demand or notice of any nature whatsoever, upon an Event of Default, the Agent may with the approval of a majority of the Borrower's Board of Directors, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that (i) if the Obligations have become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof or (ii) the Agent elects to have J&J Limited, Inc. act as Standby Manager, then no such approval shall be required), terminate any then existing management agreement and replace any existing manager of the Eligible Projects with the Standby Manager, or such other manager as the Agent may select in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon an Event of Default, the Agent may, without demand or notice of any nature whatsoever, terminate any then existing servicing agreement and replace any then existing servicer with the Standby Servicer or such other servicer as the Agent may select in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon an Event of Default, at the election of the Agent, the Borrower agrees that with the approval of the Borrower's Board of Directors, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that (i) if the Obligations have become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof or (ii) the Agent elects to have J&J Limited, Inc. act as Standby -82- Manager, then no such approval shall be required), the Standby Manager or such other manager as the Agent may select in its sole and absolute discretion may assume control of (A) the management or the operation of the Eligible Projects, the related amenities and any other Collateral as the Agent may in its sole discretion deem necessary and (B) the monitoring or supervising of the marketing, sales, resales, and financings of the Timeshare Interests and Intervals pledged to the Agent, reporting to the Banks, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon an Event of Default, at the election of the Agent, the Borrower agrees that the Standby Servicer or such other servicer as the Agent may select in its sole and absolute discretion may assume control over the servicing of the Consumer Loan Collateral or any other consumer loans pledged to the Agent, reporting to the Banks. The Agent shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to assume management of the Eligible Projects, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 12.5. DISTRIBUTION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.5(b) below, in the event that the Agent receives proceeds of Collateral or in the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Agent or any Bank, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows: (i) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent and the Banks for or in respect of, all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Agent and the Banks in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent and the Banks, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent and the Banks of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent and the Banks under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent and the Banks against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent and the Banks to such monies; (ii) Second, to pay interest on the Loans; (iii) Third, to pay any other Obligations (other than the principal of the Loans) then due and payable; (iv) Fourth, to pay the principal of the Loans (it being understood that such repayment shall be accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Total Commitment (if then in effect) in the amount of such repayment); -83- (v) Fifth, to pay the Obligations under and as defined in the Receivables Credit Agreement; (vi) Sixth, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Banks and the Agent of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant to Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code; and (vii) Seventh, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.5(a) and (b) above, with respect to each type of Obligation owing to the Banks, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, all payments shall be made to the Banks pro rata. 12.6. RELIEF FROM AUTOMATIC STAY, ETC. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event the Borrower shall make any application for or seek relief or protection under the federal bankruptcy code (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE") or other Debtor Relief Laws, or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, and not dismissed with prejudice within 45 days, the Borrower agrees that the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be modified to permit set-off and the Borrower agrees that the Agent and each Bank automatically and without demand or notice (each of which is hereby waived) shall be entitled to immediate relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Agent and the Banks as provided in the Loan Documents. 13. SETOFF. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Banks to the Borrower and any securities or other property of the Borrower in the possession of such Bank may be applied to or set off by such Bank against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower to such Bank. Each of the Banks agrees with each other Bank that (i) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank, other than Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes held by such Bank, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness evidenced by all such Notes held by such Bank, and (ii) if such Bank shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Notes held by such Bank by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof -85- thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Banks with respect to the Notes held by all of the Banks, such Bank will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 14. THE AGENT. 14.1. AUTHORIZATION. (a) The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to hold and exercise control over the Collateral and to exercise discretion with regard to the acceptance of Consumer Loan Collateral and Inventory Collateral and the inclusion of Eligible Consumer Loans and Eligible Inventory in the Borrowing Base from time to time. (b) The relationship between the Agent and each of the Banks is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term "Agent" is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Agent and each of the Banks. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Agent and any of the Banks. (c) As an independent contractor empowered by the Banks to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent is nevertheless a "representative" of the Banks, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent with respect to all collateral security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of the Agent as "secured party", "mortgagee" or the like on all financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent. -86- (d) Each of the Banks and the Borrower hereby acknowledges the terms of each of the Intercreditor Agreement and further acknowledges that certain rights and remedies hereunder (including those set forth in Section 12.4 hereof) are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Banks hereby authorizes the Agent to execute, deliver and perform the Intercreditor Agreement in its capacity as Agent for the Banks. The Agent and the Banks hereby agree that all amounts received by the Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. 14.2. GENERAL; EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower. 14.3. NO LIABILITY. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Subject to the preceding sentence, in the administration of the Loans and the custody of the Collateral, the Agent shall exercise the same standard of care as it exercises with loans where it is the sole lender. 14.4. NO REPRESENTATIONS. 14.4.1. GENERAL. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has -87- not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. 14.4.2. CONSUMER LOAN COLLATERAL. The Agent shall be under no obligation to review or in any manner approve any Consumer Loan Collateral delivered to the Agent from time to time, although nothing herein shall preclude the Agent from conducting whatever review it deems appropriate. The Agent shall have no responsibility for taking any steps necessary to preserve rights against other parties or any other rights pertaining to Collateral. The Agent shall not be required to perfect or maintain the perfection of its security interests. No loss of or damage to any Collateral shall release the Borrower from the Indebtedness. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, take such action as it deems fit, at the Borrower's expense, to collect or enforce any loan pledged to the Agent hereunder which shall be in default and the Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower for any act or omission taken by it in the collection or enforcement of such loans. The Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss or damage to the Collateral or any diminution in the value thereof, except if caused by the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any act of any custodian, carrier, servicer, lock box agent or any other Person whatsoever, and all of the same shall be at the Borrower's sole risk. The Agent and the Banks shall not be responsible for any excise, property or other taxes related to the Collateral or the sale thereof and all such taxes shall be the responsibility of the Borrower. The grants of security interests under the Security Documents shall not obligate or be construed to obligate the Agent to perform any of the terms contained in the agreements constituting Collateral or otherwise to impose any duty upon the Agent with respect to the same. 14.4.3. CLOSING DOCUMENTATION, ETC. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 10, each Bank that has executed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document and matter either sent, or made available, by the Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Bank. 14.5. PAYMENTS. 14.5.1. PAYMENTS TO AGENT. A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after receipt to distribute to -88- each Bank such Bank's pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. If the Agent does not so distribute within two (2) Business Days any such payment received by it for the account of any Bank, the Agent shall pay to such Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the average computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by such Bank for federal funds acquired by such Bank during each day included in such period, times (ii) the amount of such payment for the account of such Bank, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the date which is two Business Days after the Agent received such payment to the date on which such payment is made to such Bank, and the denominator of which is 365. 14.5.2. DISTRIBUTION BY AGENT. If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 14.5.3. DELINQUENT BANKS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan required to be funded by such Bank or (ii) to comply with the provisions of Section 13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Banks, where such Bank's share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Banks, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a "DELINQUENT BANK") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Bank until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Banks in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Banks, the Banks' respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned -89- to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. 14.6. HOLDERS OF NOTES. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder. 14.7. INDEMNITY. The Banks ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent or such affiliate has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by Section 15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent's actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence. 14.8. AGENT AS BANK. In its individual capacity, Sovereign shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes, as it would have were it not also the Agent. 14.9. RESIGNATION; REMOVAL. The Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. The Required Banks (determined without regard to Notes and Commitments held by the Bank which is the Agent) may remove the Agent upon 30 days' prior notice to the Agent after the occurrence of one of the following (unless cured within the 30 day period): (a) a material uncured default by the Agent in the performance of its duties; (b) the failure of the Agent, as a Bank, to advance its pro-rata share of the Loans in accordance with this Credit Agreement; or (c) the appointment of a receiver for the Agent or the assumption of the Agent's operations by any federal regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a financial institution having a rating of not less than A or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Corporation. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. -90- 14.10. NOTIFICATION OF DEFAULTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT NOTICES. Each Bank hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby agrees that (a) upon receipt of any notice under this Section 14.10, or (b) if Sovereign is the Agent, upon Sovereign's obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the other Banks of the existence of such Default or Event of Default. The Agent hereby agrees that it will promptly distribute to the Banks, all Loan Requests, reports and other information delivered to it under Section 7.4, notices delivered to it under Section 7.5, other notices and information delivered to the Agent hereunder for distribution to the Banks, and all material notices sent or received by the Agent with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement. 14.11. AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. (a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial, administrative or like proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding, under any such assignment or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Agent (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Agent under Section 15.1) allowed in such proceeding or under any such assignment; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. (b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding or under such assignment is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, nevertheless to pay to the Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 15.1. (c) Nothing contained herein shall authorize the Agent to consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owed to such Bank or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding or under any such assignment. -91- 15.

The Borrower agrees to pay (i) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (ii) any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent, any of the Banks, and any participants of any Banks (other than taxes based upon the Agent's, any Bank's or any such participant's net income) on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement (the Borrower hereby agreeing to indemnify the Agent, each Bank and each participant of any Bank with respect thereto), (iii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent's Special Counsel, any local counsel to the Agent and counsel to each Bank and the participants of any Bank incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the closing hereunder, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of such Loan Document providing for such cancellation, (iv) the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent or any of its affiliates incurred by the Agent or such affiliate in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, including all title insurance premiums and surveyor, engineering and appraisal charges, (v) any fees, costs, expenses and bank charges, including bank charges for returned checks, incurred by the Agent in establishing, maintaining or handling the Borrower's Account, the Lock Box, any other lock box and any other accounts for the collection of any of the Collateral; (vi) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of any Bank, any participant of any Bank or the Agent, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by any Bank, any participant of any Bank or the Agent in connection with (A) the interpretation, enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (B) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to any Bank's, any participant of any Bank's or the Agent's relationship with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (vii) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any Bank or the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings or mortgage recordings, (viii) the fees and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) of the Collateral Custodian, and (ix) any other fees and expenses to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 15.2.

REGISTER. The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register or similar list (the "REGISTER'") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, the Banks from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 17.4. NEW NOTES. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall (i) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks (other than the assigning Bank).

ASSIGNEE OR PARTICIPANT AFFILIATED WITH THE BORROWER.

If any Bank sells a participating interest in any of the Loans to a participant, and such participant is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, then such transferor Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the sale of such participation. A transferor Bank shall have no right to vote as a Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Agent pursuant to Section 12.1 or Section 12.2 to the extent that such participation is beneficially owned by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, and the determination of the Required Banks shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to the interest of such transferor Bank in the Loans to the extent of such participation. 17.8. MISCELLANEOUS ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS. Any assigning Bank shall retain its rights to be indemnified pursuant to Section 15 with respect to any claims or actions arising prior to the date of such assignment. If any assignee Bank is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, it shall, prior to the date on which any interest or fees are payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for its account, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to its exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

Section 341. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Bank from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. 17.9. ASSIGNMENT BY BORROWER. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Banks. 18. NOTICES, ETC.

The Loan Documents and any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in Section 24. 23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives the right to a trial by jury in respect of any claim based hereon, arising out of, under or in connection with this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party. This waiver constitutes a material inducement for the Banks to make the Loans. Except as prohibited by law, the Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Borrower (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Bank or the Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Bank or the Agent would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that the Agent and the Banks have been induced to enter into this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained herein. 24. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by the Banks may be given, and any term of this Credit Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower of any terms of this Credit Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of the Required Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the principal amount of or the rate of interest on the Notes (other than interest accruing pursuant to Section 4.7.2 following the effective date of any waiver of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto) may not be increased or decreased without the written consent of all of the Banks; -99- (b) the amount of the Commitments may not be increased or reduced, without the written consent of all of the Banks, other than reductions specifically provided for herein and reductions effected by permitted assignments; (c) the principal amortization or mandatory reductions of the Loans or Commitments may not be changed, except as specifically provided for herein, without the written consent of all of the Banks; (d) the Conversion Date may not be extended without the written consent of each of the Banks; (e) a substantial amount of the Collateral (other than the Receivables Loan Collateral) may not be released (other than any release specifically provided for herein) without the written consent of all of the Banks; (f) the Maturity Date may not be postponed without the written consent of all of the Banks; (g) this Section 24 and the definition of Required Banks may not be amended without the written consent of all of the Banks; and (h) Section 14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of any Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 25. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction. 26. NONCONSOLIDATION WITH SILVERLEAF FINANCE I, INC. As of the Closing Date, the Banks (a) acknowledge the true sale nature of the transfer of receivables from the Borrower to Silverleaf Finance I, Inc.

The Banks further agree not to take any action to challenge the true sale nature of the transfer of receivables from the -100- Borrower to SFI or commence or join with others in commencing an involuntary bankruptcy of SFI. 27. RELEASE. In order to induce the Agent and the Banks to enter into this Credit Agreement, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Borrower has no claim or cause of action against the Agent or any Bank (or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents); (ii) the Borrower has no offset right, counterclaim or defense of any kind against any of its obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to the Agent or any Bank; and (iii) each of the Agent and the Banks has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Borrower. The Borrower wishes to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters would impair or otherwise adversely affect the Agent's or any of the Banks' rights, interests, contracts, collateral security or remedies. Therefore, the Borrower unconditionally releases, waives and forever discharges (A) any and all liabilities, obligations, duties, promises or indebtedness of any kind of the Agent or any Bank to the Borrower, except the obligations to be performed by the Agent or any Bank on or after the date hereof as expressly stated in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (B) all claims, offsets, causes of action, suits or defenses of any kind whatsoever (if any), whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which the Borrower might otherwise have against the Agent, any Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, in either case (A) or (B), on account of any past or presently existing condition, act, omission, event, contract, liability, obligation, indebtedness, claim, cause of action, defense, circumstance or matter of any kind. 28. REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Bank as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note or any other security document which is not of public record, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
