The Revolving Loan Period shall be the period during the Term when Borrower may borrow, pay and re-borrow Advances and shall terminate in accordance with the definition of “Revolving Loan Period.”

acknowledges, agrees and confirms that the obligation of each Lender to make loans hereunder to Borrower is limited to: (i) with respect to each Advance hereunder, each Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of any such Advance hereunder and (ii) with respect to all Advances made hereunder, such Lender's obligation hereunder shall be limited to its commitment as set forth on Schedule 1.0.

(iii)    Each Loan by a Lender shall be made ratably in accordance with each Lender's respective Pro Rata Percentage, provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any required Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make any required Loan hereunder. Likewise, no Lender shall be responsible or liable for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender, nor shall any Lender be obligated to make any Loan or Loans in excess of its respective Pro Rata Percentage, nor in excess of its Commitment, in the event that any other Lender fails or refuses to make a Loan or Loans as provided hereunder. As and when additional Lenders execute and deliver this Agreement, then (A) such additional Lenders shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from each of the other Lenders who have previously executed and delivered this Agreement, a share in such other Lenders' Loans so that the amount of the Loans of all Lenders shall be pro rata as otherwise set forth above and (B) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to insure that the Advances to Borrower are made ratably by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Percentage.

(iv)    Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to establish, increase, reduce, eliminate or otherwise adjust reserves, from time to time, against the Borrowing Base or the Commitment, in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, shall deem necessary or appropriate, including (A) reserves in an amount equal to the Bank Product Reserve Amount, and (B) reserves with respect to (1) sums that Borrower is required to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay, (2) amounts owing by Borrower to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than any existing permitted Lien), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to the Agent's Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under Applicable Law) in and to such item of the Collateral, and (3) the valuation of any Note Receivable or other Collateral.

Agent is authorized by Borrower to pay directly to Custodian the amount of such billing as an Advance, to the extent of Availability, or as a deduction from the next requested Advance by Borrower.

(c)        Maximum Amount of Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained herein, no Lender shall have an obligation to make an Advance or its Pro Rata Percentage thereof hereunder to the extent that the aggregate of Advances outstanding would cause the Loan to exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Commitment.

(d)    Note Evidencing Borrower's Obligations. Borrower's obligations to pay the principal of and interest on the Loan or Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by the Note to the Agent, as Agent for each Lender, which Note shall be dated as of the Restated Closing Date and be in the principal amount equal to the amount of the Commitment. The Note will mature on the Final Maturity Date, bear interest as provided in Section 2.2 hereof and be otherwise entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the stated principal amount of the Note, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan at any time shall be the aggregate principal amount owing on the Note at such time. Agent shall and is hereby authorized to record in its internal books and records the date and amount of each Advance made by Lenders, the Applicable Interest Rate and interest period applicable thereto and each repayment thereof; and such books and records shall, as between Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. Failure by Agent to so record any Advance made by Lenders (or any error in such recordation) or any payment thereon shall not affect the Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or under the Note and shall not adversely affect Lender's rights under this Agreement with respect to the repayment thereof. At the election of any Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a note in a stated principal amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Commitment, which such note or notes shall be on the same terms and conditions as provided above and which note or notes shall be included within the definition of “Note” as such term is used herein.

(i)    If Notice of Borrowing is provided in accordance with Section 2.1(e) above, then after receiving a Notice of Borrowing from Agent, each Lender shall, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas, time, on the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing on which the proposed Advance is to be made, wire transfer to Agent at the Transfer Account, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to each such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed Advance as set forth in the Notice of Borrowing. Upon Agent's receipt of funds from each Lender equal to the amount of the requested Advance, and subject to Borrower's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent shall disburse the Advance to Borrower by wire transfer of funds as directed in writing by Borrower. If Agent shall not receive funds from any Lender as set forth above, then the amount of the Advance in question shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the missing Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Advance in question, and Agent shall, subject to Borrower's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, disburse the Advance in the reduced amount to Borrower by wire transfer of funds as directed in writing by Borrower. Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may (but shall not be obligated to) make the full amount of the requested Advance available to Borrower prior to the receipt by Agent from one or more Lenders of funds representing such Lender's or Lenders' Pro Rata Percentage of the Advance in question. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds, and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such funding date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender's Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If the funds representing such Lender's or Lenders' Pro Rata Percentage of the Advance in question are not received by Agent within two (2) Business Days of the date of such Advance, Borrower shall immediately, upon demand of Agent, repay such amount to Agent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve Agent or any Lender from its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights Agent may have against any Lender as a result of any Lender's failure to make any Loan or Loans as provided herein; or

 

(ii)    If notice of Advances is provided in accordance with Section 2.1(e) above, then by the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following such Lender's receipt of the Lender Advance Report, such Lender shall wire transfer to Agent at the Transfer Account, in immediately available funds, the net amount due from such Lender as set forth in the Lender Advance Report. If the funds representing such Lender's amount of the Advance or Advances in question are not received by Agent within five (5) Business Days of the date of such Lender's receipt of the Lender

Advance Report, Borrower shall immediately, upon demand of Agent, repay such amount to Agent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve Agent or any Lender from its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights Agent may have against any Lender as a result of any Lender's failure to make any Loan or Loans as provided herein.

 

(g)    Defaulting Lenders. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit or any collections or proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to each non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender's portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other non-Defaulting Lender), (B) second, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (C) from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender. Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Percentage in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the Unused Line Fee payable under Section 2.6(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender's commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 12.7(a) through (c). The provisions of this Section 2.1(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.1(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this Section 2.1(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of assignment and acceptance in form and substance acceptable to Agent, in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof); provided, however, that any such assumption of the commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a

waiver of any of the Lender Group's or Borrower's rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.1(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.1(g) shall control and govern.

 

(h)     Monthly Collateral and Borrowing Base Reporting. Within ten (10) days following the end of any calendar month, Borrower shall provide to Agent: (i) an updated Borrowing Base Report as of the end of such month; and (ii) an updated Collateral Data Report as of the end of such month; and (iii) by the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day following receipt by Agent from Borrower of the Borrowing Base Report and the Collateral Data Report: (a) a Summary of Monthly Advances during the immediately preceding month; and (b) a summary report of Advances and repayments or collections for the immediately preceding month.

 

(i)     Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender's funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the outstanding Advances. To facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances and Optional Overadvances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)    Agent shall request settlement (each, a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent for itself, with respect to outstanding Advances and Overadvances made by Agent and with respect to Borrower's collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy , telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 3:00 pm. (Dallas time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances and Overadvances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein: (y) if the amount of the Advances (including Overadvances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances (including Overadvances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 1:00 pm. (Dallas time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall upon receipt of such amount have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances (including Overadvances), and (z) if the amount of the Advances (including Overadvances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances (including Overadvances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall by no later than 1:00 pm. (Dallas time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to the Transfer Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances (including Overadvances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender's balance of the Advances and Overadvances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Overadvances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a net amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such next Settlement.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to WFCF any collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to WFCF's Advances as Lender. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections of Borrower received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to WFCF's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, as provided for in the previous sentence, WFCF, as Lender, shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 2.1(g)), to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Agent and each Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to the Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.1(i) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.1(g).

(j)    Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances. (i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time, at Agent's sole option, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 are not satisfied, to make Advances to, or for the benefit of, Borrower on behalf of the Lenders (in an aggregate amount for all such Advances taken together not exceeding $5,000,000 outstanding at any one time) that Agent, at its sole option deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.2(j)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”).

 

(ii)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent, and Agent may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances to Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (i) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Advances do not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than the lesser of $5,000,000 or 20% of the Borrowing Base, or such greater amount as may have been approved by the Required Lenders, and (ii) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Advances (except for and excluding accrued amounts for interest, fees, or Lender Expenses) does not exceed the Commitment.

 

(iii)    The foregoing provisions are for the exclusive benefit of Agent and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower in any way. The Advances that are made pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other Advance.

(iv)    In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the outstanding Advances exceed the amounts permitted by the preceding paragraphs, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding accrued amounts for interest, fees, or Lender Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding paragraph. In the event Agent or any Lender disagrees over the terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders.

(v)    Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that prior to Settlement therefore, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be payable on demand, secured by the Collateral, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate.

(vi)    Each Lender with a Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section 2.1(i) for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.1(j), and any Overadvances resulting from the accrual of interest, fees, or Lender Expenses.

2.2    Interest Rates.

  

(a)    Interest Rates. Except as provided in clause (b) below and Section 2.9(b), all Loans shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Laws, from the date of Agent's wiring of funds to Borrower through the date of Agent's receipt of repayment of the Loan (if received by Agent later than noon, Dallas time, then interest accrual shall be through the next Business Day following such receipt); provided, that following notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 2.9(b) hereof, all Loans shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the maximum rate of interest allowable by Applicable Laws.

 

(b)Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of Agent), all Loans shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) four percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable under Section 2.2(a) or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Laws.

(c)Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. Each Lender's Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (including the Default Rate, if applicable) as of the date funds are received by Agent as provided in Section 2.1(f) through the date of Agent's wiring of repayment funds to each Lender in accordance with Sections 2.1(f) and 2.3(c).

 

(d)Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Each of Borrower, the Lenders and Agent, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it, provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under Applicable Law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess or returned to Borrower if all outstanding Obligations have been paid in full.

 

2.3    Payments. From and after the Closing Date, Borrower agrees punctually to pay or cause to be paid to Agent, as Agent for each Lender, all principal and interest due under the Note in respect of the Loans and, if applicable, the Unused Line Fee. Interest, the Unused Line Fee and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations are outstanding. Borrower shall make the following payments on the Loan:

(a)    Monthly Payments. Borrower shall direct or otherwise cause all makers of all Pledged Notes Receivable to pay all monies due thereunder to the lockbox established pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, or as otherwise required by Agent. One hundred percent (100%) of the cleared funds collected from the Pledged Notes Receivable each day or week (as provided by the Lockbox Agreement) will be paid to Agent by the Lockbox Agent pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, and will be applied by Agent first to the payment of costs or expenses incurred by Agent pursuant to this Agreement in creating, maintaining, protecting or enforcing the Liens in and to the Collateral and in collecting any amounts due any Lender in connection with the Loan (“Collection Costs”), second, to pay any other Lender Expenses or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents until paid in full, third, to pay all Protective Advances until paid in full, fourth, to pay any other Lender Expenses or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full, and the balance, ratably, to (x) only if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ratably, to the Bank Product Providers based upon amounts then certified by the applicable Bank Product Provider to Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) to be due and payable to such Bank Product Providers on account of Bank Product Obligations, and (y) each Lender in accordance with the applicable percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan that each Lender has made (the “Pro Rata Payment Percentage”). Each Lender shall apply each such payment in the following order: (i) to any interest accrued at the Default Rate; (ii) then to interest accrued and payable at the otherwise Applicable Interest Rate; (iii) then to Unused Line

Fees accrued and payable, and (iv) then to outstanding principal. In the event that the cleared funds received by Agent are insufficient to pay the amounts described in aforementioned clauses (i)-(ii), then Borrower shall pay the difference to Agent on or before the fifth (5th) day of the following month. In the event Borrower receives any payments on any of the Pledged Notes Receivable directly from or on behalf of the maker or makers thereof, whether regular payments or proceeds from prepayments, payoffs or refinancings, or proceeds from the sale of Intervals securing such Pledged Notes Receivable, Borrower shall receive all such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lenders; and Borrower shall deliver to the Lockbox Agent all such payments (in the form so received by Borrower) as and when received by Borrower, unless Agent shall have notified Borrower to deliver directly to Agent all payments in respect of the Pledged Notes Receivable which may be received by Borrower, in which event all such payments (in the form received) shall be endorsed by Borrower to Agent, as agent for Lenders and delivered to Agent promptly upon Borrower's receipt thereof.

 

(b)    Final Payment. The entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with all other Obligations hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

 

(c)    Payments to Lenders.

 

(i) Agent may at its sole and absolute discretion either: (i) promptly upon receipt wire transfer to any Lender its Pro Rata Percentage of any payment received from Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.3 or Section 2.4; (ii) apply on the next Settlement Date any payment received from Borrower in accordance with Section 2.1(i), or (iii) include any Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of any payment received from Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 in the Lender Advance Report pursuant to Section 2.1(h), for transfer to Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(f).

(ii)    Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(iii)    Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving effect to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Percentage of the type

of commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee relates.

2.4    Prepayments.

 

(a)    Voluntary Prepayments. Except for regular payments of interest and principal as provided hereunder, prepayments, (i) shall not be permitted prior to September 1, 2011, and (ii) may be made in whole, but not in part, upon five (5) days' prior written notice to the Agent at any time after August 31, 2011, upon payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium (whether such prepayment results from voluntary payments by Borrower, acceleration, or otherwise); provided, however, that (A) payments or prepayments of Pledged Notes Receivable made by Purchasers who are not directly or indirectly solicited by Borrower to make such prepayment shall not violate this Section 2.4(a), and no Prepayment Premium shall be payable as a result of any such payment by Purchasers; and (B) if at any time the Borrower wishes to release any Pledged Notes Receivable for the purpose of including those Pledged Notes Receivable in a securitization pooling or similar conduit transaction, after 30 days' prior written notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay the principal balance of the Loan in whole or, with the prior written consent of Agent, in part, to the extent necessary to cause the then current outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan to be equal to or less than the Borrowing Base, and no Prepayment Premium will be due where such prepayment is the result of a securitization or similar conduit transaction closing, as certified by Borrower to Agent.

 

(b)     Mandatory Prepayments.

  

(i)Overadvances. If at any time the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Borrowing Base or the Commitment (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately either (A) prepay the Loan in an amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to an amount within the lending limits set forth in Section 2.1, or (B) pledge and deliver to Agent such additional or replacement Eligible Notes Receivable such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan is within the lending limits set forth in Section 2.1.

 

(ii)Ineligible Pledged Notes Receivable. If at any time after the expiration of the Revolving Loan Term, Agent determines that any Pledged Notes Receivable which are included in the Borrowing Base, do not qualify as Eligible Notes Receivable (“Ineligible Notes Receivable”), then Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice, either (A) prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the balance due under such Pledged Note Receivable, or (B) replace the Ineligible Note Receivable with an Eligible Note Receivable having an outstanding aggregate principal balance equal to or in excess of the outstanding principal balance of such Ineligible Note Receivable. The pledge and delivery to Agent as agent for Lenders of additional Eligible Notes Receivable shall comply with the document delivery and recordation requirements set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement.

 

(iii)No Prepayment Premium. No Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any mandatory prepayment made in accordance with Sections 2.4(b)(i) or 2.4(b)(ii) above.

 

(c)    Prepayment Premium. Except as specifically set forth in Section 2.4(a)

and 2.4(b), above, any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(a) above must be accompanied by a prepayment premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) calculated, as of immediately prior to such prepayment, as follows:

 

(d)    Prepayment Premium upon Acceleration. If the Loan is accelerated based on an Event of Default prior to September 1, 2011, or if Borrower undertakes a voluntary prepayment prior to September 1, 2011, at Agent's sole discretion, payments on the Loan must include the Prepayment Premium that would be applicable if prepayment occurred on September 1, 2011.

2.5    Capital Adequacy Event. If, after the date hereof, a Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request, or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company's capital as a consequence of such Lender's agreements hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such holding company's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then Agent may notify Borrower thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay Agent on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender's calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, a Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

2.6    Fee Letter Fees.

(a)    Fee Letter Fees. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, Borrower shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter;

(b)    Unused Line Fee. An unused line fee (“Unused Line Fee”) shall be calculated and be due and payable as follows: on the first day of each calendar month from and after the Restated Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Final Maturity Date and on the Final Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, an amount equal to one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the amount by which (i) $75,000,000 exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) the average Daily Balance of Loans that were outstanding during the immediately preceding calendar month or portion thereof, as applicable, plus (B) the average daily balance of the SFVI Notes held by WFCF that were outstanding during the immediately

preceding calendar month or portion thereof, as applicable.

2.7    Suspension of Advances.

(a)    Suspension of Sales. If any stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or non-judicial sanction shall be issued limiting or otherwise materially adversely affecting any Interval sales activities, other business operations in respect of the Resorts, or the enforcement of the remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, then, in such event, Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Advances hereunder: (i) in respect of Pledged Notes Receivable 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 non-judicial sanction that has been issued until the stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or non-judicial sanction has been lifted or released to the satisfaction of Agent and (ii) in respect of Pledged Notes Receivable from the sale of Intervals at any Resort if: (x) the stay, order, cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or non-judicial sanction in question has not been lifted or released to the satisfaction of Agent within sixty (60) days of its issuance and (y) there is a reduction in the total number of sales of Intervals by 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.

(b)    Change in Control. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any additional Advances hereunder upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) if there shall occur a change, singly or in the aggregate, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the executive management of Borrower as described in Schedule 2.7(b) hereto, unless (A) (1) within thirty (30) days prior thereto Borrower provides Agent with written information setting forth the replacement executive management personnel of Borrower together with a description of those Persons' experience, ability and reputation, (2) Agent, acting in good faith, determines that the replacement management personnel's experience, ability and reputation is equal to or greater than that of Borrower's executive management as set forth on Schedule 2.7(b), (3) such Person(s) has authorized Agent to conduct, and Agent is reasonably satisfied with the result of, a “background check” of such Person, including current personal credit report, tax lien and litigation histories, and (4) none of such Persons is a Sanctioned Person, and (B) at least one of the following Persons shall continue to hold an office in the executive management of Borrower: Joe W. Conner, Thomas J. Morris or Harry J. White, Jr.; or (ii) at any time that the capital stock of Borrower is not publicly-held registered securities, if any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), becomes the direct beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of a majority of the capital stock of Borrower; unless such “person” or “group” is approved by Agent, in writing, in its Permitted Discretion, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, after such “person” or “group” has authorized Agent to conduct, and Agent is reasonably satisfied with the result of, a “background check” of such “person” or “group,” including current personal credit report, tax lien and litigation histories.

(c)    Change in Underwriting Standards. No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Advance hereunder if there shall occur a change in the underwriting standards, or the adherence thereto in the sole discretion of the Agent, of Borrower with respect to the qualification or eligibility of Purchasers which in the Permitted Discretion of Agent causes or would most likely result in a Material Adverse Change in the Borrower's business or if there shall occur a change in the business of Borrower, which in the Permitted Discretion of Agent causes or would most likely result in a

Material Adverse Change in the Borrower's business.

(d)    Default or Event of Default. No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Advance hereunder if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

2.8    Pro Rata Treatment. Each repayment of principal and interest shall be allocated among Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Payment Percentage. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Advance to be made hereunder, Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's such Advance to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. If any Lender shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, set-off, counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment with respect to its Loans which results in its receiving more than its Pro Rata Payment Percentage of any payments described above, then (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from each of the other Lenders a share in such other Lender's Loans so that the amount of the Loans of all Lenders shall be pro rata as otherwise set forth above, (B) such Lender shall immediately pay to the other Lenders their Pro Rata Payment Percentage of the payments otherwise received as consideration for such purchase and (C) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to insure that all Lenders share such payments ratably. If all or any portion of any such excess payment is thereafter recovered from Lender which received the same, the purchase provided in this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to have been rescinded to the extent of such recovery, without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's loans may exercise all rights of payment (including all rights of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

2.9    LIBOR Rate Provisions.

(a)    Interest Rates. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.9(b) hereof, interest on the Advances shall be charged at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowable by Applicable Laws.

(b)    Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(i)    The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent at the direction of any Lender with respect to such Lender (in the ordinary course of such Lender's business and on a non-discriminatory basis) on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest based on the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment, and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender, and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender, require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment.

(ii)    In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender (in the ordinary course of such Lender's business and on a non-discriminatory basis), make it unlawful or commercially unreasonable and impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Advances or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates based on the LIBOR Rate, (x) such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such Loans, and interest upon the Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, plus (B) the Applicable Margin, until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or commercially unreasonable and impractical to do so.

(c)    No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing based on the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Advances.

3.1    Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants, to Agent, as Agent for each Lender and the Bank Product Providers:

 

(a)a first priority security interest in the Notes Receivable herewith, heretofore or hereafter pledged to Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided herein, the Mortgages with respect thereto and that portion of the other Collateral related thereto;

 

(b)a security interest in all books, records, reports, computer tapes, disks and software relating to the Collateral and all extensions, additions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of, for or to any of the Collateral, wherever located, together with the products, proceeds, issues, rents and profits thereof, and any replacements, additions or accessions thereto or substitutions thereof.

 

Borrower also acknowledges, agrees and confirms the assignment, pledge and grant, and the continuation of, the first-priority security interests in the Notes Receivable, Mortgages and other Collateral and property provided for in the Existing Loan Agreement, except to the extent previously released by Agent. Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, none of Borrower, Servicing Agent nor any of their Affiliates have any authority, express or implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the Collateral.

For convenience of administration, Agent is acting as agent for Lenders under the Agreement. Agent, as such agent, may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents, officers or

employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel as to its duties. Agent, as such agent, shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and shall neither be responsible to Lenders for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment nor be answerable to Lenders for any loss unless the same shall happen through Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that Agent, as such agent, shall not be reimbursed by Borrower for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred in such capacity, Lenders shall reimburse Agent therefor pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (including Agent as a Lender for this purpose). Each Lender agrees that Agent shall be entitled to take and shall only be required to take, any action which it is permitted to take under this Agreement.

3.2    Financing Statements; Priority of Liens. Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to authorize the filing of financing statements, continuation statements and amendments provided for by the Code and to execute and deliver any and all other instruments or documents and take such other action as may be required to perfect and to continue the perfection of Agent's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to execute and/or file on Borrower's behalf any such financing statements, continuation statements and amendments. Each Lender shall have an equal security interest in the Collateral based upon its Pro Rata Percentage and no Lender's security interest in the Collateral shall have priority over any other Lender's security interest in the Collateral, except to the extent otherwise provided by Section 2.3(a).

 

3.3    Insurance. Insurance coverage with respect to the Resort(s) is provided by the applicable Resort Manager. Borrower shall furnish Agent, upon request, with satisfactory evidence that the Units, Buildings and Resorts are adequately insured. Such insurance coverage shall insure against such risks, be in such amounts, with such companies and on such other terms as Agent may reasonably require. Each such policy shall name Agent as an additional insured and loss payee as agent for Lenders and Bank Product Providers, as their respective interests may appear.

 

3.4    Protection of Collateral; Reimbursement. The portion of the Collateral consisting of: (i) the original Pledged Notes Receivable, (ii) the original Mortgages, (iii) the original purchase contracts (including addendum) related to such Pledged Notes Receivable and Mortgages, and (iv) originals or true copies of the related truth-in-lending disclosure, loan application, warranty deed, and if required by Agent, the related Purchaser's acknowledgement receipt and the Exchange Company application and disclosures, shall be delivered at Borrower's expense to the Custodian, and held in Custodian's possession and control pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. All fees and costs arising under the Custodial Agreement shall be borne and paid by Borrower; and if Borrower fails to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge Borrower's account therefor, and Borrower agrees promptly to reimburse Agent therefor with interest accruing thereon daily at the Default Rate. All sums so paid or incurred by Agent for any of the foregoing and any and all other sums for which Borrower may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' and paralegals' fees, legal expenses and court costs) which Agent may incur in enforcing or protecting its Lien on, or rights and interest in, the Collateral or any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or with respect to any of the transactions hereunder or thereunder, until paid by Borrower to Agent with interest at the Default Rate, shall be included among the Obligations, and, as such, shall be secured by all of the Collateral. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto or for any diminution in the value thereof,

or for any act or default of the Custodian, Lockbox Agent, or Servicing Agent or any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever.

 

3.5    Additional Eligible Resorts. From time to time during the Term, Borrower may propose to Agent that one or more additional time-share plans and projects owned and operated by Borrower be included among the Eligible Resorts in respect of which Advances may be made. Any such proposal will be in writing, and will be accompanied or supported by the due diligence and supporting Borrower, Affiliate, project, financial and related information identified in Section 4.4 hereto, and such other information as Agent may require. Borrower will reasonably cooperate with Agent's underwriting and due diligence, and Borrower will be responsible for payment upon billing for Agent's and each Lender's out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. Subject to Agent's satisfactory underwriting and due diligence review, including satisfaction of the conditions in Section 4 and 5 hereof as they relate to such additional time-share resorts, Agent may, but shall not be required to, approve one or more such additional time-share resorts, including future phases or condominiums in an Existing Eligible Resort, as an Eligible Resort qualifying for Advances under and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Subject in each instance to Agent's underwriting and due diligence review, and Agent's prior written approval, any project as may be approved by Agent and Lenders after the Closing Date, if any, is hereinafter referred to as an “Additional Eligible Resort”. Any Advances hereunder with respect to any Additional Eligible Resort will be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

3.6    Modification of Eligible Notes Receivable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall have the right to modify the interest rate and term only of the Eligible Notes Receivable without Agent's prior consent, provided that: (i) any such change in the rate of interest on any one or more Eligible Notes Receivable shall not reduce the average interest rate on all Eligible Notes Receivable to less than twelve and one half percent (12 ½%) per annum at any time; (ii) the term of no Eligible Notes Receivable shall be increased to a term longer than one hundred twenty (120) months from the date of the first required monthly payment of such Eligible Note Receivable, except that with respect to any Eligible Note Receivable in respect of which one or more monthly payments have been deferred, the term of such Eligible Note Receivable may be extended one month for each such deferred payment provided, however, that in no event shall the term of such Eligible Note Receivable be increased to a term longer than one hundred twenty eight (128) months from the date of the first required monthly payment of such Eligible Note Receivable; (iii) at no time may Borrower so modify the terms of Eligible Notes Receivable constituting more than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding principal balance of all Eligible Notes Receivable at any time. Solely for purposes of calculating the foregoing fifteen percent (15%) limit, an Eligible Note Receivable shall not be considered “to have been modified” if the Purchaser in respect of such note: (y) has made at least a ten percent (10%) cash down payment on the Interval or in connection with an upgrade of an Interval has utilized equity accrued on an existing Interval equivalent to at least a ten percent (10%) down payment on an upgraded Interval and (z) has made at least six (6) monthly payments, with at least four (4) payments being made after the date the note was modified; (iv) Borrower immediately provides Agent with notice of any such modification together with any original documentation evidencing such modification and (v) no Eligible Note Receivable is

modified more than once in any twelve (12) month period or more than twice during the term of such Eligible Note Receivable.

 

3.7    Assumption of Obligations under Eligible Notes Receivable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the sale by a Purchaser of an Interval, the new Purchaser of the Interval may be substituted as obligor under the Eligible Note Receivable in question, provided that: (i) said new Purchaser assumes in writing all of the obligations of the original obligor under the Eligible Note Receivable in question; (ii) the Eligible Note Receivable continues to meet all of the criteria for an Eligible Note Receivable as set forth herein and (iii) the new Purchaser has made a cash down payment equal to at least 10% of the sales price of the Interval in question or has equity in connection with an existing owned Interval which is traded in which combined with the cash paid, if any, is equivalent to at least the above-referenced ten percent (10%) down payment of the sales price of the acquired Interval.

 

3.8    Purchaser/Criteria. All Eligible Notes Receivable pledged as Collateral to Agent subsequent to the Closing Date will be underwritten in a manner consistent with the Borrower's general underwriting guidelines and criteria, as approved in writing by Agent and as set forth on Schedule 1.1(d), including, without limitation: (i) the requirement that a majority of sales shall be made to Purchasers with minimum annual income as follows: $35,000 for Purchasers residing in the state of Texas, $40,000 for Purchasers residing in the state of Illinois, and $45,000 for Purchasers residing in the state of Massachusetts, (ii) the requirement for a cash down payment of at least 15% of the sales price of the Interval for any Purchaser with a FICO score less than 600, and (iii) the requirement that the weighted average FICO Credit Bureau Scores of all Purchasers with respect to which a FICO score can be obtained be not less than 640, provided that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Eligible Notes Receivable pledged to Agent with respect to which a FICO score can not be obtained, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Eligible Notes Receivable pledged to Agent. Borrower shall not materially alter its general underwriting criteria without the prior written approval of Agent, which approval, Agent may withhold in its sole discretion. On a semi-annual basis, Borrower shall provide Agent with written certification that the underwriting criteria as approved by Agent remain in full force and effect and have not been revised or altered without Agent's consent.

 

3.9    Release of Notes Receivable.

 

(a)    When a Note Receivable is repaid in its entirety, Agent shall request Custodian to return such Note Receivable to Borrower to facilitate its payment and Agent shall release the Agent's Liens in such Note Receivable promptly upon receipt of the final payment relating to such Note Receivable.

(b)    When a Note Receivable is sold by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with the prior written consent of Agent, Agent shall release the Agent's Liens in such Note Receivable and shall direct Custodian to transfer such Note Receivable to the purchaser thereof or as otherwise directed by such purchaser against payment of the agreed amount therefor.

(c)    In the event a Note Receivable is in default and Borrower is commencing foreclosure proceedings against the Interval or other property securing such Note Receivable, upon request by Borrower and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred

or be continuing or would result therefrom, then Agent shall execute a reassignment or release of any recorded Lien instrument in favor of Agent and any other loan documents for the benefit of Borrower on forms prepared by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Agent to facilitate such foreclosure proceedings.

(d)    In connection with an upgrade of an existing owned Interval securing an Eligible Note Receivable, Agent shall release the Agent's Liens in such Note Receivable and shall direct Custodian to transfer such Note Receivable to the Borrower for cancellation, upon receipt in exchange therefor of one or more Eligible Notes Receivable with an unpaid principal amount which, when added to any cash payment received by Borrower in connection with such upgrade and sent to Agent for application to the Obligations, is not less than the unpaid principal amount of the Note Receivable secured by the traded-in Interval.

If Agent disapproves of any changes to any of the Submissions, Agent shall have the right to require Borrower either to cure or correct the defect objected to by Agent or to elect not to fund the Loan or any Advance. Under no circumstances shall Agent's failure to approve or disapprove a change to any of the Submissions be deemed to be an approval of such Submissions. All of the Submissions were and shall be prepared at Borrower's sole cost and expense, unless expressly stated to be an obligation and expense of Agent. Agent shall have the right of prior approval of any Person responsible for preparing a Submission (“Preparer”) and

may disapprove any Preparer in its sole discretion, for any reason, including without limitation, that Agent believes that the experience, skill, reputation or other aspect of the Preparer is unsatisfactory in any respect.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the full payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, and shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. In addition to the above, Borrower has advised Agent that payments from Purchasers will include reimbursements from such Purchasers of Timeshare Owners' Associations fees and expenses and Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to apply such payments and reimbursements to the outstanding Obligations due from Borrower to Agent and Lenders and Borrower will pay not less frequently than monthly all sums due to such Timeshare Owners' Associations.

(c)Warranties or Representations.

(a)Acceleration. Without demand or notice of any nature whatsoever, declare the unpaid balance of the Loans, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due and payable.

(b)Termination of Obligation to Advance. Terminate any obligation of Lenders to lend under this Agreement in its entirety, or any portion of any such commitment, to the extent Agent shall deem appropriate, all without notice to Borrower.

(c)Judgment. Reduce each Lender's claim to judgment, foreclose or otherwise

enforce each Lender's security interest in all or any part of the Collateral by any available judicial or other procedure under law.

(d)Sale of Collateral. After notification, if any, provided for in Section 9.2 below, Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of, at the office of Agent, or elsewhere, as chosen by Agent, all or any part of the Collateral, and any such sale or other disposition may be as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Agent's power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid in full and fully performed), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit the Collateral. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that a private sale or sales of the Collateral, after notification as provided for in Section 9.2, shall constitute a commercially reasonable disposition of the Collateral sold at any such sale or sales, and otherwise, commercially reasonable action on the part of Agent.

(e)Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, retain such portion of the Collateral as shall aggregate in value to an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Loans, in satisfaction of the Obligations, whenever the circumstances are such that Agent is entitled on behalf of Lenders and elects to do so under Applicable Law.

(f)Receiver. Apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment, including, but not limited to, the appointment of a single receiver in Texas or such other jurisdiction selected by Agent with power to act as a receiver with respect to the Collateral in all applicable jurisdictions in which the Collateral may be located, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders.

(g)    Purchase of Collateral. Buy the Collateral at any public or private sale.

 

(h)    Exercise of Other Rights. Agent on behalf of each Lender, shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code and other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled, including, without limitation, and without notice to Borrower, the right to continue to collect all payments made on the Pledged Notes Receivable, and to apply such payments to the Obligations, and to sue in its own name the maker of any defaulted Pledged Notes Receivable. Agent may also exercise any and all other rights or remedies afforded by any other Applicable Laws or by the Loan Documents as Agent shall deem appropriate, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the right to bring suit or other proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in the Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right or remedy granted to Agent in the Loan Documents. Agent shall also have the right to require Borrower to assemble any of the Collateral not in Agent's possession, at Borrower's expense, and make it available to Agent at a place to be determined by Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, have the right to take immediate possession of all of the Collateral, and may enter the Resorts or any of the premises of Borrower or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without process of law wherever the Collateral may be, and, to the extent such premises are not the property of Agent, to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of Borrower, Borrower agrees not to charge Agent or any Lender for use and occupancy, rent, or storage of the Collateral, for a period of at least ninety (90) days after sale or disposition of the Collateral).

 

(i)    Replacement of Manager and Servicer. Without demand or notice of any nature whatsoever, upon an Event of Default, Agent may terminate any then existing servicing

agreement and replace any then existing Servicer with the Standby Servicer or such other servicer as Agent may select in its Permitted Discretion. Agent shall also have the right to assume management of the Resorts.

 

9.2    Notice of Sale. Reasonable notification of time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be sent to Borrower and to any other person entitled under the Code to notice; provided, however, that if the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without notification, advertisement or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which such notice relates is reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this Section 9.2. Agent shall have the right to bid at any public or private sale on behalf of Lenders. Out of money arising from any such sale, Agent shall retain an amount equal to all of its costs and charges, including attorneys' fees for advice, counsel or other legal services or for pursuing, reclaiming, seeking to reclaim, taking, keeping, removing, storing and advertising such Collateral for sale, selling same and any and all other charges and expenses in connection therewith and in satisfying any prior Liens thereon. Any balance shall be applied upon the Obligations, and in the event of deficiency, Borrower shall remain liable to Lenders. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to such other Persons as may be legally entitled to such surplus. If, by reason of any suit or proceeding of any kind, nature or description against Borrower, or by Borrower or any other party against Agent or any Lender, which in Agent's sole discretion makes it advisable for Agent to seek counsel for the protection and preservation of Lenders' security interest, or to defend the interest of Lenders, such expenses and counsel fees shall be allowed to Agent and the same shall be made a further charge and Lien upon the Collateral.

 

In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of Collateral comprised of Securities may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default, Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to whose who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for, or with a view to, distribution. In so doing, Agent may solicit offers to buy such Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from a limited number of investors deemed by Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if Agent solicits such offers from not less than two (2) such investors, then the acceptance by Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.

9.3    Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default: (i) each Lender may, with or without proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment or performance of the Obligations, without notice, terminate each Lender's further performance under this Agreement or any other agreement or agreements between Lender and Borrower, without further liability or obligation by Agent or any Lender; (ii) Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, at any time, appropriate and apply on any Obligations any and all Collateral in its, the Custodian's, or the Lockbox Agent's possession and (iii) each Lender may apply any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves, indebtedness or other moneys due or owing to Borrower held by Lender hereunder or under any other financing agreement or otherwise, whether

accrued or not. Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, shall absolve, release or otherwise affect the liability of Borrower in respect of transactions prior to such termination, or affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies of Agent or Lenders, but they shall, in all events, continue until all of the Obligations are satisfied.

 

9.4    Rights of Agent Regarding Collateral. In addition to all other rights possessed by Agent or Lenders, Agent, at its option, may on behalf of each Lender from time to time after there shall have occurred an Event of Default, and so long as such Event of Default remains uncured, at its sole discretion, take the following actions:

 

(a)    Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of Agent or its nominee;

 

(b)    Take control of any proceeds of any of the Collateral;

 

(c)    Extend or renew the Loan and grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any portion thereof, any extension or renewal thereof, or any security therefor, to any obligor hereunder or thereunder; and

 

(d)    Exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

 

9.5    Delegation of Duties and Rights. Agent may execute any of its duties and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or other representatives.

 

9.6    Agent and/or Lenders not in Control. Except as expressly provided herein or in any Loan Document, none of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall give Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of Borrower.

 

9.7    Waivers. The acceptance by Agent or any Lender at any time and from time to time of partial payments of the Loan or performance of the Obligations shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Further, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, Borrower and each and every surety, endorser, guarantor and other party liable for the payment or performance of all or any portion of the Obligations, severally waive notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, presentment and demand for payment, protest, and notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, acceleration and nonpayment, and agree that their liability shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of the Loan, or by any release or change in any security for the payment or performance of the Loan, regardless of the number of such renewals, extensions,

releases or changes.

 

9.8    Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies available to any Lender or Agent under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other rights and remedies granted under any of the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, whether or not the Loan is due and payable and whether or not Agent shall have instituted any suit for collection or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.

 

9.9    Expenditures by Agent or Lender. Any sums expended by or on behalf of Agent or by Lenders pursuant to the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein shall become part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date of such expenditure until the date repaid.

 

9.10    Diminution in Value of Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution or loss in value of any of the Collateral, specifically including that which may arise from Agent or any Lender's negligence or inadvertence, whether such negligence or inadvertence is the sole or concurring cause of any damage.

    

9.11    Agent's Knowledge. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless Agent has actual knowledge of the Event of Default or has received a notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing such Event of Default. Each Lender agrees that upon learning of the existence of an Event of Default, it will promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Any such notice by a Lender, shall be in writing sufficient to identify the nature of the Event of Default.

 

9.12    Lender's Enforcement Rights. Each Lender has assigned to Agent its absolute and unconditional right to enforce the payment of its Note. No Lender may unilaterally enforce any Lien or security interest in the Collateral, or bring suit against Borrower to enforce such Lender's rights hereunder or under its Note.

 

10.1    Protection of Collateral. Agent on behalf of each Lender may at any time and from time to time take such actions as Agent deems necessary or appropriate to protect the Agent's Liens and security interests in and to preserve the Collateral, and to establish, maintain and protect the enforceability of Lender's rights with respect thereto, all at the expense of Borrower. Borrower agrees to cooperate fully with all of Agent's efforts to preserve the Collateral and Agent's Liens, security interests and rights and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral and Agent's Liens, security interests and rights as Agent may direct, including, without limitation, by promptly paying upon Lender's demand therefor, all documentary stamp taxes or other taxes that may be or may become due in respect of any of the Collateral. All of Agent's expenses of preserving the Collateral and each Agent's Liens and security interests and rights therein shall be added to the Loan.

 

10.2    Performance by Agent. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement, and the expenses (including any amounts due and payable to any Bank Product Provider in respect of Bank Products) of Agent or WFCF incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower under Section

10.5 below. In no event, however, shall Agent or any Lender have any obligation or duties whatsoever to perform any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, Timeshare Documents or Operating Contracts, and any such performance by Agent shall be wholly discretionary with Agent. The performance by Agent, of any agreement or covenant of Borrower on any occasion shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Agent to perform any such agreements or covenants on any other occasion or at any time. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that neither Agent nor any Lender shall at any time or under any circumstances whatsoever have any duty to Borrower or to any third party to exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder.

 

10.3    No Liability of Agent or Lender. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement by Agent and each Lender, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by Lender or Agent on its behalf, shall be construed in any way as an assumption by Agent or any Lender of any obligations, responsibilities or duties of Borrower arising in connection with any Resort or under the Timeshare Documents or Timeshare Acts, or under any of the Operating Contracts, or in connection with any other business of Borrower, or the Collateral, or otherwise bind Agent or any Lender to the performance of any obligations with respect to any Resort or the Collateral; it being expressly understood that neither Agent nor Lender shall be obligated to perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of Borrower with respect to any Resort or any of the Collateral, or under any of the Timeshare Documents, the Timeshare Acts or under any of the Operating Contracts, including, but not limited to, appearing in or defending any action, expending any money or incurring any expense in connection therewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither this Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Agent taken hereunder, prior to or following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall constitute an assumption by Agent of any obligations of Borrower with respect to any Resort or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations thereunder or with respect thereto. Borrower agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and court costs, asserted against or incurred by Agent and each Lender by reason of, arising out of, or connected in any way with (i) any failure or alleged failure of Borrower to perform any of its covenants or obligations with respect to each Resort or to the Purchasers of any of the Intervals, (ii) a breach of any certification, representation, warranty or covenant of Borrower set forth in any of the Loan Documents, (iii) the ownership of the Pledged Notes Receivable and the rights, titles and interests assigned hereby, or intended so to be, (iv) the debtor-creditor relationships between Borrower on the one hand, and the Agent or Lender, on the other, or (v) the operation of the Resorts or sale of Intervals. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Agent and each Lender harmless as provided in this Agreement are absolute, unconditional, present and continuing, and shall not be dependent upon or affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any claim, demand or suit from which Agent or any Lender is indemnified. The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.3 shall survive the satisfaction of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement, and remain binding and enforceable against the Borrower, or its successors or assigns. Borrower hereby waives all notices with respect to any losses, damages, liabilities, suits, costs and expenses, and all other demands whatsoever hereby indemnified, and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to above, which might otherwise constitute legal or equitable discharges of its obligations hereunder.

 

10.4    Right to Defend Action Affecting Security. Agent may, at Borrower's expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding at law or in equity which Agent in good faith believes may affect the security interests granted under this Agreement, including without limitation, with respect to the Collateral or the value of thereof or each Lender's rights under any of the Loan Documents.

 

10.5    Expenses. All expenses (including any amounts due and payable to any Bank Product Provider in respect of Bank Products) payable by Borrower, under any provision of this Agreement shall be an Obligation of the Borrower and shall be paid by Borrower to Agent, upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of expense until repaid by Borrower.

 

10.6    Lender's Right of Set-Off. Each Lender shall have the right to set-off against any Collateral any Obligations then due and unpaid by Borrower provided that Lender remits to Agent all such sums received as a result of such set-off so that Agent may insure the distribution thereof in accordance with each Lender's Pro Rata Payment Percentage.

 

10.7    No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Agent in exercising any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or in giving or insisting upon strict performance by Borrower hereunder or in giving notice hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other power or right, and no single or partial exercise of any such power or right shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or right. Agent, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Borrower of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Borrower. The collection and application of proceeds, the entering and taking possession of the Collateral, and the exercise by Agent of the rights of Lenders contained in the Loan Documents and this Agreement shall not cure or waive any default, or affect any notice of default, or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. No waiver by Agent or any Lender of any breach or default of or by any party hereunder shall be deemed to alter or affect Lender's rights hereunder with respect to any prior or subsequent default.

 

10.8    Right of Agent to Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release Security, Etc. Without affecting the liability of any Person or entity including without limitation, for the payment of any of the Obligations or without affecting or impairing Agent's Lien on the Collateral, or the remainder thereof, as security for the full amount of the Loan unpaid and the Obligations, Agent may from time to time, without notice: (a) release any Person liable for the payment of the Loan, (b) extend the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of the Loan, (c) accept additional security for the Obligations of any kind, including deeds of trust or mortgages and security agreements, (d) alter, substitute or release any property securing the Obligations, (e) realize upon any collateral for the payment of all or any portion of the Loan in such order and manner as it may deem fit, or (f) join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Agreement or the lien or charge thereof.

 

10.9    Assignments and Participations

(a)    Any Lender may assign and participate and delegate to one or more assignees or participants (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations and the other rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however,

that each Lender so doing shall give Agent concurrent written notice of each such assignment and provided further that Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly only with each Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee.

(b)    In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, any Lender may disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its businesses.

 

(c)    Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender which is a banking institution may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce sole through Agent such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under Applicable Laws but at all times subject to the rights and limitations contained herein.

(d)    Agent acknowledges that as of the date hereof, WFCF is the only Lender. Subsequent to the date hereof, in the event that Agent desires to allow another party to execute a joinder agreement or become a Lender under the provisions of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a right of prior approval of such action, provided that Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any additional Lender and provided further that Borrower's non-response for a period of ten (10) Business Days after being notified by Agent of such action shall be deemed to be approval of Borrower to such action of Agent.

10.10    Notice to Purchaser. Borrower authorizes any of Agent, Lockbox Agent or Servicing Agent (but none of Agent, Lockbox Agent nor Servicing Agent shall be obligated) to communicate at any time and from time to time with any Purchaser or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable under a Pledged Note Receivable with regard to the Lien of Agent thereon and any other matter relating thereto, and by no later than the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a notification to the Purchasers executed in blank by Borrower and in form acceptable to Agent, pursuant to which the Purchasers (or other obligors) may be directed to remit all payments in respect of the Collateral as Agent may require.

 

10.11    Collection of the Notes. Borrower hereby directs and authorizes each party liable for the payment of the Pledged Notes Receivable, and by no later than the Closing Date shall direct in writing each such party, to pay each installment thereon to Lockbox Agent pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, unless and until directed otherwise by written notice from Agent or, at Agent's direction, from Borrower, after which such parties are and shall be directed to make all further payments on the Pledged Notes Receivable in accordance with the directions of Agent.

 

Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to require that all payments becoming due under the Pledged Notes Receivable be paid directly to Agent, as agent for Lenders, and Agent is hereby authorized to receive, collect, hold and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent or Lockbox Agent does not receive any installment of principal or interest due and payable under any of the Pledged Notes Receivable on or prior to the date upon which such

installment becomes due, Agent may, at its election (but without any obligation to do so), give or cause Lockbox Agent to give notice of such default to the defaulting party or parties, and Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of such Notes, to accelerate payment of the unpaid balance of any of the Pledged Notes Receivable in default and to foreclose each of the Mortgages securing the payment thereof, and to enforce any other remedies available to the holder of such Pledged Notes Receivable with respect to such default. Borrower hereby further authorizes, directs and empowers Agent (and Lockbox Agent or any other Person as may be designated by Agent in writing) to collect and receive all checks and drafts evidencing such payments and to endorse such checks or drafts in the name of Borrower and upon such endorsements, to collect and receive the money therefor. The right to endorse checks and drafts granted pursuant to the preceding sentence is irrevocable by Borrower, and the banks or banks paying such checks or drafts upon such endorsements, as well as the signers of the same, shall be as fully protected as though the checks or drafts have been endorsed by Borrower.

10.12    Power of Attorney. Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Agent as Borrower's true and lawful Agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for Borrower and in Borrower's name, place and stead, or otherwise, to (a) endorse any checks or drafts payable to Borrower in the name of Borrower and in favor of Agent on behalf of each Lender, (b) to demand and receive from time to time any and all property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned and transferred, or intended so to be, and to give receipts for same, (c) from time to time to institute and prosecute in Agent's own name any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that Agent may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, of any kind, in and to the property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned or transferred, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the said property, rights, titles, interests and liens, (d) upon an Event of Default to change the Borrower's post office mailing address, and (e) generally to do all and any such acts and things in relation to the Collateral as Agent shall in good faith deem advisable. Borrower hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers granted pursuant to this Section 10.12 are coupled with an interest and are and shall be irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason, unless and until a release of the same is executed by Agent and duly recorded in the appropriate public records of Dallas County, Texas.

 

10.13    Relief from Automatic Stay, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event the Borrower shall make application for or seek relief or protection under the federal bankruptcy code (“Bankruptcy Code”) or other Debtor Relief Laws, or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed against the Borrower under such Code or other Debtor Relief Laws, and not dismissed with prejudice within 45 days, the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are hereby modified as to Agent and each Lender to the extent necessary to implement the provisions hereof permitting set-off and the filing of UCC Financing Statements or other instruments or documents; and Agent and each Lender shall automatically and without demand or notice (each of which is hereby waived) 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 Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents.

 

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the security interests granted

hereby and the duties, covenants and liabilities of Borrower hereunder and all the terms, conditions and provisions hereof relating thereto shall continue to be fully operative until the Commitment shall have terminated and all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full. Borrower expressly agrees that if Borrower makes a payment to Agent on behalf of any Lender, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such repayment, the Obligations or any part thereof intended to be satisfied and the Liens provided for hereunder securing the same shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

12.1    Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to Agent, any Lender or Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (a) if given by mail, when such notice is deposited in the United States Mail with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, provided that such mailing is by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (b) if given by overnight delivery, when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service such as Federal Express or Airborne with all fees and charges prepaid, addressed as provided below, or (c) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section 12.1.

 

12.2    Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate delivered by or on behalf of Borrower under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lenders and shall survive the delivery to Lenders of such Loan Documents (and each part thereof), regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Lenders.

 

12.3    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN TO THE CONTRARY) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUSIVE OF ITS CHOICE OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

 

12.4    Limitation on Interest. Agent and each Lender and Borrower intend to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. All agreements between Agent, each Lender and Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, of the Note or of any other Loan Documents shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if from any circumstance Agent or any Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of the Loan and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest on the Loan for such full period shall not exceed the highest lawful rate. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payment under the Loan Documents exceeds the highest lawful rate, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically described in the Loan Documents as “interest”) including without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges, shall to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest. Agent and each Lender hereby expressly disclaim any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the highest lawful rate. The provisions of the Note, this Agreement, and all other Loan Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform with the limitations and provisions of this Section 12.4, and this Section 12.4 shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement now or hereafter existing. This Section 12.4 shall never be superseded or waived unless there is a written document executed by Agent, each Lender and the Borrower, expressly declaring the usury limitation of this Agreement to be null and void, and no other method or language shall be effective to supersede or waive this paragraph.

 

12.5    Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan

Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof or thereof, and the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents (as the case may be) a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

 

12.6    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided that Borrower may not transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Agent. This Agreement and the transactions provided for or contemplated hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto. No third party shall have any rights or derive any benefits under or with respect to this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents except as provided in advance in a writing signed on behalf of Agent and each Lender.

 

12.7    Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no term or provision hereof may be waived, except by written instrument signed by the Borrower and Agent on behalf of itself and Lenders.

 

12.8    Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile, “.pdf file” or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile, “.pdf file” or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. This Agreement shall become effective upon Agent's receipt of one or more counterparts hereof signed by Borrower.

 

12.9    Lender and Agent Not Fiduciaries. The relationship between Borrower, Agent and each Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Agent and Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower, Agent and Lenders to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

 

12.10    Return of Notes Receivable.

 

(a)In the event Borrower complies with its Obligations under Section 2.4(b) of this Agreement with respect to Pledged Notes Receivable pursuant to which a default by the

Purchaser thereof has occurred, and Borrower thereafter desires to enforce such Note Receivable against the Purchaser thereof, then provided that no Event of Default has occurred which has not been cured to Agent's satisfaction (as evidenced by a written acceptance of such cure executed by Agent), and no event has occurred which with notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, then within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a written request from Borrower, Agent shall deliver such ineligible Note Receivable to Borrower, provided that such delivery shall be for the sole purpose of enforcing Agent's rights thereunder and Agent, notwithstanding such delivery, shall continue to have, on behalf of Lenders, a first priority security interest in any such note.

(b)In the event that all Obligations hereunder are fully satisfied, then within a reasonable time thereafter, Agent shall endorse the Pledged Notes Receivable “Pay to the order of Silverleaf Resorts, Inc. without representation, warranty or recourse”, and deliver such Pledged Notes Receivable, together with any other nonrecourse Collateral reassignment documents requested and prepared by Borrower, at Borrower's sole cost and expense.

 

12.11    Accounting Principles. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, the same shall be determined or made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied at the time in effect, to the extent applicable, except where such principles are inconsistent with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

12.12    Total Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Exhibits and Schedules to them, is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, incorporates or rescinds all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, cannot be changed or terminated orally or by course of conduct, and shall be deemed effective as of the date it is accepted by Agent at the offices set forth above. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreements.

 

12.13    Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND EACH LENDER AND AGENT, TO THE FULL EXTENT NOW OR HEREAFTER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWER AND EACH LENDER AND AGENT REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

 

12.14    Incorporation of Exhibits. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits and Schedules hereto, constitute one document and agreement which is referred to herein by the use of the defined term “Agreement.” Such Exhibits and Schedules are incorporated herein as to fully set

out in this Agreement. The definitions contained in any part of this Agreement shall apply to all parts of this Agreement.

 

12.15    Consent to Advertising and Publicity of Timeshare Documents. Borrower hereby consents that Agent and each Lender may issue and disseminate to the public information describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement, including the names and addresses of Borrower and any subsidiaries and Affiliates, the amount and a general description of Borrower's business.

 

12.16    Directly or Indirectly. Where any provision in the Agreement refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provisions shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

 

12.17    Headings. Section headings have been inserted in the Agreement as a matter of convenience of reference only; such section headings are not a part of the Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

12.18    Gender and Number. Words of any gender in this Agreement shall include each other gender and the singular shall mean the plural and vice versa where appropriate.

 

12.19    Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrower or the transfer to Agent or any Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if any Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that any Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of such Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrower automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

 

12.20    Confidentiality. Agent and each Lender for itself and an Assignee of such lender, agrees that material, non-public information regarding Borrower, its operations, assets, and existing and contemplated Annual Operating Plans shall be treated by Agent and each Lender in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent or any Lender to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any Lender, (b) to Subsidiaries of Agent or any Lender and Agent or Lender affiliated entities (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or affiliated entity shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 12.20, (c) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be agreed to in advance by Borrower or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or any Lender), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participations, or pledge or prospective pledge of any Lender's interest under this Agreement, provided that any such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective

purchaser, Participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, and (g) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 12.20 shall survive for 2 years after the payment in full of the Obligations. Anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein, as they relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment of such transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee, representative, of Agent or of any Lender or of any other party hereto) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax structure and federal tax treatment of such transactions (including all written materials related to such tax structure and tax treatment). The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to not be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the IRC, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive rights to the tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby or any tax matter or tax idea related thereto.

12.21    Bank Product Providers Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider's being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although Borrower is not required to do so. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank

Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any guarantors.

12.22    Debtor-Creditor Relationship The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Lender or Agent has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to Borrower or Servicing Agent arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between any Lender or Agent, on the one hand, and the Borrower or Servicing Agent, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

 

13.1    Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby accepts the appointment of and irrevocably (but subject to Section 13.8) authorizes Agent to take such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The appointment and authority of Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the payment of the Obligations in full.

 

13.2    Nature of Agent's Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to Borrower, whether coming into its possession before the date hereof or at any time or times thereafter (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement). If Agent seeks the consent or approval of Lenders, to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender.

 

13.3    UCC Filings. Each of Borrower, Agent and Lender expressly recognizes and agrees that Agent shall be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made hereunder in order to perfect the grant of a security interest in the Collateral herein for the benefit of Lenders, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a single secured party to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the holders of the Obligations, and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of such holders as the beneficial holders of such security interest. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on Agent other

than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Section 13.

 

13.4    Agent's Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including Agent's servicing, administering or collecting Notes Receivable) except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Borrower (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement); (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, the Loan Documents, or for any failure of Borrower or any of its Affiliates to perform its obligation under the Loan Documents; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone or email), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex or telecopier or email) believed by it to be genuine and to be or to have been signed or sent by the proper party or parties. Agent may, but shall not be required to, at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders, as applicable in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent's acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders as applicable in accordance with this Agreement. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, email, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it or them 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 counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent.

 

13.5    Agent and Affiliates. To the extent that Agent or any of its Affiliates are or shall become Lenders hereunder, Agent or such Affiliate, in such capacity, shall have each and every right and power under this Agreement as would any other Lender hereunder (including the right to vote upon any matter upon which any of Lenders are entitled to vote) and, without exception, may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent. Agent and its Affiliates may engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any of its Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

 

13.6    Credit Decision. Independently, and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender has, to the extent it deems appropriate, made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial affairs and business affairs of Borrower in connection with any action or inaction with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and (b) its own evaluation of the creditworthiness of Borrower and of the value of the Collateral, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent has had and shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representation or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith (unless made by Agent) or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement (except with respect to Agent's obligations hereunder) or the Loan Documents or the financial condition of Borrower or the value of the Collateral. Except as expressly herein provided with respect to its duties as agent, Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, the financial condition of Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

 

13.7    Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower), ratably in accordance with each Lender's Pro Rata Payment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower) ratably in accordance with Lender's Pro Rata Payment Percentage, promptly upon demand, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement. The rights of Agent under this Section 13.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Agent” shall include Agent, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents.

 

13.8    Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days' notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, Lenders, including WFCF, shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, and such resignation shall not be effective until such successor Agent is appointed and has accepted such appointment. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and accepted such appointment within seventy-five (75) days after Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall be experienced in the types of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 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 of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the

provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

 

13.9    Duty of Care. Agent shall endeavor to exercise the same care in its administration of the Loan Documents as it exercises with respect to similar transactions in which it is involved and where no other co-lenders are involved; provided that the liability of Agent for failing to do so shall be limited as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 13.

 

13.10    Delegation of Agency.

  

(a)If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in connection with the exercise or protection of Agent's rights hereunder in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or Agent shall be advised by counsel that it is so necessary or prudent in the interest of Lenders, or Agent shall deem it necessary for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder Agent and, to the extent required by Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements reasonably necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more individuals approved by Agent (each an “Approved Delegate”), either to act as co-agent or co-agents or trustee of all or any of the Collateral, jointly with Agent originally named herein or any successor, or to act as separate agent or agents or trustee of any such Collateral. Every separate agent and every co-agent and every trustee, other than any agent which may be appointed as successor to Agent, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be appointed to act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:

(i)except as otherwise provided herein, all rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon, reserved or imposed upon Agent in respect of the custody, control and management of moneys, paper or securities shall be exercised solely by Agent hereunder;

 

(ii)all rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon, reserved to or imposed upon Agent hereunder shall be conferred, reserved or imposed and exercised or performed by Agent except to the extent that the instrument appointing such separate agent or separate agents or co-agent or co-agents or trustee shall otherwise provide, and except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, remedies, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate agents or co-agent or co-agents to the extent specifically directed in writing by Agent;

 

(iii)no power given thereby to, or which it is provided hereby may be exercised by, any such separate agent or separate agents or co-agent or co-agents or trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such separate agent or separate agents or co-agent or co-agents or trustee except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, Agent, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding;

 

(iv)no separate agent or co-agent or trustee constituted under this Section 13.10 shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other

agent, separate agent, co-agent or trustee hereunder; and

 

(v)Agent, at any time by an instrument in writing, executed by it, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate agent or co-agent or trustee of Agent, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed by Agent and Borrower (to the extent necessary or requested by Agent) jointly may appoint a successor to such separate agent or co-agent or trustee, as the case may be, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. In the event that Borrower shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument with a Person or entity within ten (10) days after the receipt of a written request from Agent to do so, Agent, acting alone, may appoint a successor and may execute any instrument in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in either of such contingencies.

 

In the event that Borrower shall not have joined in the execution of such instruments or agreements with any Approved Delegate within thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of a written request from Agent to do so, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its agent and attorney to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.10 in such contingency, it being understood that the power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest.

(b)Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel, and other specialists and advisors (including affiliates of such Agent) selected by it, concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact, counsel and other specialists and advisors selected by it with reasonable care.

 

13.11    Agent's Responsibilities.

  

(a)    Each subsequent holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof irrevocably joins in the designation of WFCF as agent for Lenders as provided herein with the same force and effect as if it were an original Lender hereunder and signatory hereto. WFCF hereby accepts such designation and appointment as agent. Agent, acting as such under the provisions of this Agreement, or under any other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, shall not be liable or responsible, directly or indirectly, for any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by it in good faith, nor shall Agent be liable or responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment on its part, but Agent shall only be liable or responsible for any loss suffered by any of Lenders hereunder provided such loss was caused by Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall not, by any action or inaction hereunder, be deemed to make any representation or warranty regarding the legality, legal effect or sufficiency of any act of Borrower in connection with, or under any of the provisions of, this Agreement, or any instrument or document delivered pursuant thereto, or the validity or enforceability of any instrument or document furnished to Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Agent shall have no liability or responsibility in connection with the collection or payment of any sums due to Lenders by Borrower, the sole responsibility of Agent being to account to Lenders only for monies actually received by it. Agent shall have no obligation to make any application of any funds received by it until such funds are immediately available at Agent's office.

Any monies received by Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law, and Agent shall not be liable for interest on any funds received by it. Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement unless and until Agent shall have received written notice thereof at its office from Borrower or any Lender. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, Agent shall not, by reason of this Agreement, be deemed a fiduciary in respect of Lenders, and nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly herein set forth.

 

(b)    Agent shall have the right to exercise all the rights granted to, and exercisable by, it under this Agreement and any instrument or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, in such manner from time to time, as Agent in its sole discretion, shall deem proper.

 

(c)Agent agrees to provide each Lender with notice (and copies of documents, as appropriate) of any amendment, waiver or modification of the terms of this Agreement entered in accordance with Section 12.7;

 

(d)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall be entitled, at its option, from time to time and at any time, to enter into any amendment of, or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement without obtaining prior approval from any Lender, provided that, without the prior approval of each Lender in each instance, Agent may not take any of the following actions with respect to the Loan: (i) reduce the principal amount of any Loans; (ii) expressly change the advance rate; (iii) change the definition of Eligible Notes Receivable; (iv) decrease the Applicable Interest Rate; (v) extend the Final Maturity Date of the Loan; or (vi) release any material Collateral or any material third party obligor (except as expressly authorized by this Agreement in the normal course of Borrower's business). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may take any such actions referred to in such preceding sentences and each Lender shall be bound thereby with the consent of such Lenders (including Agent as a Lender for this purpose) whose total Pro Rata Payment Percentage is equal to or exceeds sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Lender does not consent to any of the amendments or waivers requiring sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) consent under the previous paragraph, then such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any additional Advances hereunder but it shall continue to receive its Pro Rata Payment Percentage of each repayment of principal and interest on the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event a Lender does not consent to any amendment or waivers regarding: (i) reduction of the principal amount of any Loans; (ii) reduction of the Applicable Interest Rate; or (iii) any subordination or release of any material Collateral, except as set forth in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, then in any of such events any such modification shall be applicable only to new money advanced by Agent and such changes shall not be applicable in any way to the existing balance due under the Loan as of the date of such change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.11(d), Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require that the Lenders (including WFCF) unanimously consent to the approval of any such action(s) referred to in this Section 13.11(d) before any such action(s) is taken. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in the event that a Lender does not consent to any of the amendments or waivers requiring sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) consent under the previous paragraph and such Lender is not obligated

to fund any additional Advances hereunder, the Commitment will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any unused portion of such Lender's Commitment.

13.12    Power of Attorney. Each Lender does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Agent as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and in its name, place and stead, or otherwise, to (a) demand and receive from time to time any and all property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned and transferred, or intended so to be, and to give receipts for same, (b) from time to time to institute and prosecute in Agent's own name any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that Agent may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, of any kind, in and to the property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned or transferred, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the said property, rights, titles, interests and liens, and (c) generally to do all and any such acts and things in relation to the Loans, the Collateral and this Agreement as Agent shall in good faith deem advisable. Each Lender hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers granted pursuant to this Section 13.12 are coupled with an interest and are and shall be irrevocable by it in any manner, or for any reason, unless and until the repayment in full of the Obligation.

13.13    Ratification and Confirmation. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, assumes and agrees to be bound by all statements, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower reaffirms, restates and incorporates by reference all of the covenants and agreements made in the Loan Documents as if the same were made as of this date. Borrower agrees to pay the Loan and all related expenses, as and when due and payable in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to observe and perform the Obligations, and do all things necessary which are not prohibited by law to prevent the occurrence of any Event of Default. In addition, to further secure, and to evidence and confirm the securing of, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower of the Loan and all of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants to Agent, and hereby confirms or reaffirm the prior granting to Agent of, a continuing first priority Lien, mortgage and security interest in and to all of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter acquired. Also, as provided in the Loan Documents, the Loan is and shall be further secured by the Liens and security interests in favor of Agent in the properties and interests relating to Additional Eligible Resorts, which now or hereafter serve as collateral security for any Obligations. On the date hereof and thereafter upon satisfaction of the requirements for approval by Agent of Additional Eligible Resorts, Borrower shall record, or cause to be recorded, such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, assignments, pledges, security agreements and UCC Financing Statements in the appropriate public records of the state in which each Resort is located to further evidence and perfect Agent's Lien on the Collateral. Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered by its Affiliates, such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, assignments, pledges, security agreements and UCC Financing Statements as Agent may deem necessary to further evidence and perfect Agent's Lien on the Collateral.

13.14    Estoppel. The Loan constitutes valuable consideration to Borrower. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Loan modifications and transactions provided for or contemplated hereunder or thereunder, shall in no way adversely affect the Lien or perfection or priority of any Lien of Agent as of the date hereof in and to any Collateral, and are not intended to constitute, and do not constitute or give rise to, any novation, cancellation or extinguishment of any of Borrower's Obligations existing as of the Restated Closing Date to Agent, or of any interests

owned or held by Agent (and not previously released) in and to any of the Collateral; it being the intention of the parties that the transactions provided for or contemplated herein shall be effectuated without any interruption in the continuity of the value and consideration received by Borrower, and of the attachment, perfection, priority and continuation in favor of Agent in and to all Collateral and proceeds.

 

13.15    Participation Agreement. Nothing in this Section 13 shall affect or limit any Participant's rights or any of the Agent's obligations under each Participant's respective participation agreement with the Agent.

 

13.16    Withholding Taxes.

 

(a)    If any Lender is a “foreign person” within the meaning of the IRC and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the IRC, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower:

(i)    if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments), before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower;

(ii)    if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower;

(iii)    if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the first payment of any interest is due under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower;

(iv)    if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with property attachments); and

(iv)    such other form or forms as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

(b)    If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BENor Form W-8IMY and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMYas no longer valid.

(c)    If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(d)    If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(e)    All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense, except as required by Applicable Laws other than for Taxes (as defined below). All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction (other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with respect to such payments (but excluding, any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured by or based on the net income or net profits of a Lender, or (ii) to the extent that such tax results from a change in the circumstances of the Lender, including a change in the residence, place of organization, or principal place of business of the Lender, or a change in the branch or lending office of the Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every pay-ment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any note, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 13.16(e) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Agent or any Lender (i) that is not organized under the laws of the United States, if such Person fails to comply

with the other requirements of this Section 13.16, or (ii) if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent's or such Lender's own willful mis-conduct or gross negligence. Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to Applicable Laws certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower.

13.17 Agent in Individual Capacity. WFCF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though WFCF were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other Lenders. The other Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, WFCF or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFCF in its individual capacity.

13.18 Field Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information

By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a)    is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and will rely significantly upon its books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower's personnel,

(d)    agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower, and Borrower's Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 12.20, and

(e)    without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's
