LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Loan Agreement") is made and
entered into as of December 19, 2003, by and among SILVERLEAF FINANCE II, INC.,
a Delaware corporation ("SPV"), and TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("TFC").
A. Developer has established timeshare Resorts in which
Purchasers of Timeshares receive certain rights. Developer is in the business of
selling Timeshares at Resorts as more particularly described herein.
B. SPV is in the business of acquiring Receivables from
Developer.
C. SPV desires TFC to extend a secured receivables loan to SPV,
all in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement.
D. TFC has agreed to advance funds under the Loan Documents
secured by a security interest in certain Pledged Receivables and an assignment
of the related Timeshare Mortgages.
E. In order to fund its obligations under this Loan Agreement,
TFC intends to securitize the Loan, and in connection therewith to convey
(directly or indirectly) its rights thereunder to investors ("Investors") and to
grant certain rights and privileges to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties. SPV understands TFC's willingness to enter into this
Loan Agreement is conditioned on its ability to affect such securitization and
the provisions of this Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Loan Agreement,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITION OF TERMS
(a) The capitalized terms used in this Loan Agreement are defined
in Schedule I hereto. The definitions include the singular and plural forms of
the terms defined.
(b) All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be
construed in accordance with GAAP. All terms used in Article 9 of the Code of
the State of New York, and not specifically defined herein, are used herein as
defined in such Article 9. All hourly references herein shall refer to New York
time. Except as otherwise indicated, all agreements defined in this Loan
Agreement refer to the same as from time to time amended or supplemented or as
the terms of such agreements are waived or modified in accordance with their
terms.
SECTION 2. THE LOAN
2.1 Loan. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Loan Agreement, including satisfaction of the conditions precedent in
Section 4, TFC shall make a
single advance (the "Loan") to SPV on or before December 23, 2003 (which date
shall be determined by mutual agreement of TFC and SPV) in a principal amount
equal to the lesser of (x) $66,380,808.54 or (y) the Advance Amount then in
effect. At the request of SPV, proceeds of the Loan will be disbursed by TFC to
pay the purchase price of the Receivables acquired by SPV from Developer and to
make advances and to pay dividends to Developer. Amounts repaid in respect of
the Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.2 Interest Payment. The aggregate principal amount of the Loan
which is outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at a rate equal to
the Applicable Interest Rate or, at TFC's election and sole discretion after the
occurrence of an Event of Default or the Maturity Date, at the Applicable
Default Rate. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date in
respect of the immediately preceding Settlement Period or, after the occurrence
of an Event of Default and after the Maturity Date, upon demand. Any payment
received by TFC later than 12 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day
shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.
2.3 Increased Costs. If at any time there shall be any increase in
the cost to TFC of agreeing to make, making or funding the Loan (including,
without limitation, any increase in the cost due to any changes in any law,
regulation, accounting rule or principle applicable to TFC, Trust or any other
party to the Securitization Facility Documents or any increase yield required to
be paid by the Trust to the Investors under the Securitization Facility
Documents in connection with a renewal of commitments thereunder), by a rate of
more than 0.50% per annum, then SPV shall from time to time, upon demand by TFC
pay additional amounts sufficient to compensate TFC for the portion of such
increased costs that exceed 0.50% per annum. In determining any amount provided
for in this section, TFC shall use the Allocation Methodology. TFC shall submit
to SPV a certificate as to such additional or increased costs or reduction,
which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
2.4 Application of Available Funds.
(a) SPV (or the Subservicer on its behalf) shall direct or
otherwise cause the Purchasers obligated on the Pledged Receivables (other than
Purchasers paying by means of credit cards) to mail or deposit by electronic
means all Collections due thereunder to a Lockbox Account, or as otherwise
required by the Administrative Agent. If, notwithstanding such instructions, any
such Collections are delivered to SPV or the Subservicer, and to the extent
Collections paid by means of credit cards are delivered to SPV or the
Subservicer, SPV shall (or shall cause the Subservicer to) deposit such
Collections into the Collection Account within one Business Day following the
receipt. No less frequently than once a week, all Available Funds held by an
Account Agent will be paid to TFC, pursuant to the applicable Blocked Account
Agreement, for deposit in the Collection Account.
(b) In the event SPV receives any payments on any of the Pledged
Receivables directly from or on behalf of the related Purchasers, SPV shall
receive all such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of TFC;
and SPV shall deliver to the Account Agent all such payments (in the form so
received by SPV) within one Business Day, unless the Administrative Agent shall
have notified SPV to deliver such payments elsewhere, in which event all such
payments (in the form received) shall be endorsed by SPV to the Administrative
Agent and
2
delivered to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify
within one Business Day of SPV's receipt thereof.
(c) Prior to each Payment Date and with respect to the immediately
preceding Settlement Period, the Master Servicer shall determine the following
amounts:
(i) an aggregate amount (the "Securitization Amount") of
the Available Funds for such Settlement Period that was applied to
Parallel Claims under the terms of the Securitization Facility
Documents;
(ii) an amount (the "Reserve Funding Amount") equal to the
amount required to be deposited in the Program Reserve Account to cause
the amount held therein to equal the Required Reserve Amount;
(iii) an aggregate amount (the "SPV Required Amount") equal
to the Obligations due and payable in respect of such Settlement
Period;
(iv) an amount (the "Surplus") equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) the Available Funds for such Settlement Period over (y) the
sum of the SPV Required Amount plus the Reserve Funding Amount for such
Settlement Period;
(v) an amount (the "Shortfall") equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) the sum of the SPV Required Amount plus the Reserve Funding
Amount for such Settlement Period, over (y) the Available Funds for
such Settlement Period;
(vi) an amount (the "TFC Reimbursement Amount") equal to
the excess, if any, of the Securitization Amount over the SPV Required
Amount;
(vii) an amount (the "TFC Retained Amount") equal to the
excess, if any, of the SPV Required Amount over the Securitization
Amount; and
(viii) an amount (the "Set Aside Amount") equal to fifty
percent (50%) of the excess, if any, of (x) Available Funds over (y)
the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi) of Section 2.4(f) (whether or not Section 2.4(f) shall apply
with respect to such Payment Date).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed
that (x) all Available Funds are subject to application under the Securitization
Facility Documents to the payment of Parallel Claims, (y) under the terms of the
Securitization Facility Documents, the Securitization Amount for a Payment Date
may be an amount that is as high as the full amount of Available Funds, even if
the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable is less than the amount
of Available Funds and even if the Obligations, but not the Parallel Claims,
have been paid in full, and (z) the Securitization Amount shall be determined by
the Master Servicer within its reasonable discretion, and the other Secured
Parties shall have no liability with respect to such determination; provided,
however, that, as TFC's collateral assignee, the Administrative Agent may, in
accordance with the terms of the Securitization Facility Documents, make such
determinations in place of TFC. Such determination shall be in accordance with
the Allocation Methodology, and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
3
(d) On or prior to each Payment Date, the Master Servicer (x)
shall apply all Available Funds in respect of the immediately preceding
Settlement Period to the satisfaction of the Parallel Claims included in the
Securitization Amount, and (y) shall be deemed to have applied, or (to the
extent of the TFC Retained Amount) shall apply, Available Funds to the
satisfaction of Obligations included in the SPV Required Amount. It is
understood and agreed that for each dollar of Available Funds applied to reduce
the Parallel Claims, a dollar of Obligations shall be deemed to have been paid,
until the SPV Required Amount shall have been reduced to zero.
(e) If a Surplus shall exist and no Event of Default or Default
shall be continuing, such Surplus shall be paid to SPV (i) by TFC, to the extent
of the TFC Reimbursement Amount and (ii) by the Master Servicer, from Available
Funds, to the extent such Surplus exceeds the TFC Reimbursement Amount;
provided, however, that amounts otherwise payable to SPV under this sentence
shall instead be paid to Developer for application to (and to the extent of)
principal and interest due under the Subordinated Note if, at the time of such
payment, the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note, together
with accrued interest thereof, exceeds zero. If a Surplus exists any time when
an Event of Default or Default is continuing, TFC shall retain such Surplus for
application to Obligations from time to time in such order of priority as TFC
shall determine.
(f) If on any Payment Date a Shortfall shall exist, Available
Funds shall be deemed to have been applied, or (to the extent of the TFC
Retained Amount) shall be applied, by the Master Servicer in the order of
priority set forth below and SPV shall remain liable to pay any Obligations not
so paid from Available Funds:
(i) to the Servicer Fee;
(ii) if at any time Developer is not the Subservicer, to
the payment of any fees owing to the Subservicer (including the Back-up
Servicer in such capacity) in accordance with the Subservicing
Agreement;
(iii) to all other amounts due to TFC or the Master
Servicer in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities, to the extent
accrued and unpaid;
(iv) to interest and fees on the Loan then due;
(v) to principal on the Loan then due and owing in
accordance with the terms hereof;
(vi) to TFC the aggregate net payments, if any, due to TFC
under the SPV Hedge Agreement;
(vii) to fund the Program Reserve Account in an amount
equal to the lesser of the Set Aside Amount and the Reserve Funding
Amount; and
(viii) to any other Person (other than Developer and its
Affiliates), all other amounts then owing to such Person under the Loan
Documents.
4
(g) To the extent that a Shortfall exists, TFC shall obtain funds
for the satisfaction of the Obligations not paid due to such Shortfall from the
following sources, which sources shall be drawn upon in the order of priority
set forth below:
(i) TFC shall instruct Developer to pay any amounts owed
and unpaid by Developer under the Developer Transfer Agreement,
including without limitation Obligations to pay the repurchase price
for Defective Receivables;
(ii) TFC shall withdraw funds from the Program Reserve
Account; and
(iii) TFC shall demand payment of amounts payable under the
Demand Note in accordance with the terms thereof.
Funds may be drawn from the sources described in this Section 2.4(g) only to the
extent of Shortfalls that exist from time to time, notwithstanding the fact that
Parallel Claims may remain unpaid.
(h) SPV acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of TFC to pay
the TFC Reimbursement Amount to SPV constitutes a claim against TFC but not a
right to the return of any Collateral or the proceeds thereof, which Collateral
and proceeds are pledged to secure payment of the Parallel Claims as well as the
Obligations.
2.5 Payments.
(a) Final Payment. SPV agrees to pay the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, together with all other Obligations, in full on
or before the Maturity Date.
(b) Voluntary Prepayments. Except as provided in the following
sentence and as required under Section 2.5(c), SPV may not prepay any portion of
the Loan. Notwithstanding the above, in the event TFC notifies SPV that the
aggregate outstanding balance under the Securitization Facility has been reduced
to an amount below 10% of the maximum amount available thereunder, SPV may, from
time to time on an any Payment Date thereafter, upon irrevocable notice from the
SPV to TFC given at least one (1) Business Day prior to each such Payment Date,
prepay the Loan in whole or in part. If such notice is given by SPV, SPV shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be
due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to
such date on the amount prepaid. Upon any prepayment in whole or in part of the
Loan under this Section 2.5(b), each Pledged Receivable which is part of the
Collateral as of the date of such prepayment shall remain as part of the
Collateral until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of such Pledged
Receivable, (ii) the payment in full of all Obligations and Parallel Claims or
(iii) such Pledged Receivable is released from the Collateral pursuant to
Section 3.2(c) hereof.
(c) Mandatory Prepayments. On each Payment Date, SPV shall prepay
the principal amount of the Loan by an amount equal to 85% of the Principal
Distributable Amount for the immediately preceding Settlement Period. If at any
time it is determined, absent manifest error, that the aggregate Outstanding
Balance of DAT Receivables determined as of the Cut-off Date exceeded 40% of the
Pledged Receivables determined as of the Cut-off Date, SPV shall (within one
Business Day of such determination) prepay the principal amount of the Loan in
an amount
5
equal to 85% of such excess. If at any time it is determined, absent manifest
error, that, as of the Substitution Date for any Substitute Receivable, such
Substitute Receivable was a DAT Receivable, SPV shall (within one Business Day
of such determination) prepay the principal amount of the Loan in an amount
equal to 85% of the Outstanding Balance of such Substitute Receivable. If at any
time it is determined, absent manifest error, that the aggregate Outstanding
Balance of ONS Receivables determined as of the Cut-off Date exceeds 21.84% of
the Pledged Receivables determined as of the Cut-off Date, SPV shall (within one
Business Day of such determination) prepay the principal amount of the Loan in
an amount equal to 85% of such excess. If at any time it is determined, absent
manifest error, that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of PPM Receivables
determined as of the Cut-off Date exceeds 5% of the Pledged Receivables
determined as of the Cut-off Date, SPV shall (within one Business Day of such
determination) prepay the principal amount of the Loan in an amount equal to 85%
of such excess.
(d) Timeshare Upgrades. With respect to the Pledged Receivables
that become Upgrade Receivables during a Settlement Period, and without
duplication of principal payments in respect of such Pledged Receivables
actually received with respect to such Pledged Receivables, SPV shall be deemed
to have received a principal payment in an amount equal to the Outstanding
Balance of such Pledged Receivables, and the Subservicer shall remit to the
Collection Account, prior to the immediately succeeding Payment Date, the excess
of (x) such amount over (y) the amount, if any, deducted from the Principal
Distributable Amount for such Settlement Period pursuant to clause (iv) of the
definition of Principal Distributable Amount.
SECTION 3. COLLATERAL
3.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and
performance of the Obligations and Parallel Claims, for value received, SPV
unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants to TFC a continuing
first priority security interest in and to the Collateral; provided, however,
that (x) except for the application of Available Funds as provided in Section
2.4, and (y) the Administrative Agent's ability pursuant to Section 10.11 to
notify, or direct SPV to notify, Persons liable for the payment of Pledged
Receivables to remit their payments in respect of such Pledged Receivable to
accounts designated by the Administrative Agent, none of TFC or the other
Secured Parties shall be entitled to foreclose upon, or otherwise exercise
creditors' remedies with respect to, the Collateral unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred, notwithstanding the fact that Parallel Claims may be due
and unpaid.
3.2 Additional Receivables; Purchase of Defective Receivables.
(a) Pursuant to the Developer Transfer Agreement, Developer may
(but is not required to), with the written consent of the Master Servicer, (x)
sell or contribute additional Eligible Receivables (each, an "Exchange
Receivable") to SPV in exchange for any Delinquent Receivable, and/or (y) sell
or contribute additional Eligible Receivables (each, a "Replacement Receivable,"
the Exchange Receivables and the Replacement Receivables being herein
collectively called "Substitute Receivables") to SPV to enable SPV to satisfy
its obligations hereunder in connection with Timeshare Upgrades; provided, in
each case, that no Developer Event of Termination (other than any such event
described in clause (f) of the definition thereof) has occurred, each of the
following conditions is satisfied, and TFC shall have received a
6
Substitution Certificate from Developer certifying the accuracy or occurrence of
the foregoing, as applicable:
(i) each Substitute Receivable shall be an Eligible
Receivable on the Substitution Date,
(ii) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Exchange
Receivables for such Settlement Period and each preceding Settlement
Period shall not exceed 20% of the Initial Advance Amount; and the
aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Replacement Receivables for such
Settlement Period and each preceding Settlement Period shall not exceed
20% of the Initial Advance Amount,
(iii) after the addition of each Substitute Receivable, the
weighted average remaining maturity for all assets in the
Securitization Pool equals at least the weighted average remaining
maturity for such assets on the last day of the immediately preceding
Settlement Period minus 0.25 years, but not more than the weighted
average remaining maturity for such assets as existed on the last day
of the immediately preceding Settlement Period plus 0.25 years,
(iv) after the addition of each Substitute Receivable, the
weighted average interest rate for all assets in the Securitization
Pool equals at least the weighted average interest rate for such assets
as existed on the last day of the immediately preceding Settlement
Period minus 0.25%, but not more than the weighted average remaining
interest rate for such assets as existed on the last day of the
immediately preceding Settlement Period plus 0.25%,
(v) after the addition of each Substitute Receivable, the
percentage of obligors of the type described in the definition of
Qualified OECD Purchaser with respect to the Securitization Pool equals
at least the percentage as existed on the last day of the immediately
preceding Settlement Period minus 0.50%, but not more than the
percentage as existed on the last day of the immediately preceding
Settlement Period plus 0.50%,
(vi) each of the following shall be true:
(A) with respect to all Exchange Receivables and
Deleted Receivables for such Substitution Date, the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of all such Exchange Receivables shall

behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with their respective interests, all
records not in the possession of the Custodian pursuant to the terms of the
Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Master Servicer shall have the absolute and unlimited right to (or to direct
the Subservicer to) commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of
any Collateral hereunder or to foreclose upon or repossess any Collateral and
the Master Servicer may demand, and the Custodian shall immediately deliver upon
such demand, all of the Contract Files, records (other than electronic systems)
and other documents in its possession with respect to the Collateral.
(d) The Master Servicer and the Subservicer shall, as soon as
practicable following actual receipt thereof, deliver to TFC or the Person
entitled thereto the collections of any Receivable that is the subject of
enforcement actions for which it was authorized by TFC to perform, net of all
reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Master
Servicer or Subservicer incurred in collecting and enforcing such receivables.
SPV shall as soon as practicable upon demand deliver to the Master Servicer all
records in the possession of SPV or Developer relating to receivables of the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer's authorization and obligations under this
Loan Agreement shall terminate on the Business Day immediately
18
after the payment in full of the Obligations and Parallel Claims. After such
termination, the Master Servicer and the Subservicer on the date of such
termination shall promptly deliver to SPV all books, copies of records and
related materials that SPV or Developer previously provided to the Master
Servicer or the Subservicer, or that otherwise have been obtained by the Master
Servicer or the Subservicer, in connection with this Loan Agreement.
(e) The Subservicer shall not amend, modify or waive any term or
condition of any Contract Document other than with respect to a Permitted
Modification.

Servicer shall not be liable to any party to the Loan Documents, or any Person
claiming through any such party, for (i) any breach of the Master Servicer's
obligations hereunder arising from any action or inaction of the Subservicer, or
(ii) any other breach of such obligations, or any other action or inaction by
the Master Servicer, absent the Master Servicer's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
5.4 Right to Receive Instructions. In the event that the Master
Servicer is in good faith unable to decide between alternative courses of
action, or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Loan
Agreement or any Loan Document, or such provision is ambiguous as to its
application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable
provision, or in the event that this Loan Agreement or any Loan Document permits
any determination by the Master Servicer or is silent or is incomplete as to the
course of action which the Master Servicer is required to take with respect to a
particular set of facts, the Master Servicer may give notice (in such form as
shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to TFC or the Administrative Agent
requesting instructions and, to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have
acted or refrained from acting in good faith in accordance with any such
instructions received from TFC or the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer
shall not be liable on account of such action or inaction to any Person.
5.5 No Duties Except as Specified in this Loan Agreement or in
Instructions. The Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to manage,
make any payment in respect of, register, record, sell, reinvest, dispose of,
create, perfect or maintain title or any security interest in, or otherwise deal
with the Collateral, to prepare or file any report or other document, or to
otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with,
any document contemplated hereby to which the Master Servicer is a party, except
as expressly provided by the terms of this Loan Agreement and no implied duties
or obligations shall be read into this Loan Agreement against the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost
and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any valid
Liens on any part of the Collateral which result from valid claims against the
Master Servicer personally that are not related to the administration of the
Collateral or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or related to
its actions under this Loan Agreement.
5.6 Compensation Expenditure of Funds. (a) In consideration of the
Master Servicer's performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents, the
SPV agrees to pay to
19
the Master Servicer a fee (the "Servicer Fee") for each day from the date hereof
until the date on which all Obligations and Parallel Claims are paid in full.
For any day, the Servicer Fee shall equal (i) the Servicing Fee Percentage,
times (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Pledged Receivables on such
day, divided by (iii) 360. The Servicing Fee shall be payable on each Payment
Date for the immediately preceding Settlement Period, and on the Maturity Date;
provided that following the Maturity Date, or the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Servicing Fee shall be payable on demand by the Master Servicer. It
is understood and agreed that any fees payable to the Subservicer pursuant to
the Subservicing Agreement will be paid by the Master Servicer from the
Servicing Fee, and SPV will have no liability to the Subservicer with respect
thereto.
(a) No provision of this Loan Agreement shall require the Master
Servicer to expend or risk its personal funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder, if the
Master Servicer shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured or provided to it.
5.7 Reliance; Advice of Counsel. The Master Servicer may
conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
when doing so, in each case in accordance with any signature, instrument,
notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond
or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be
signed by the proper party or parties. The Master Servicer may accept a
certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body
of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly
adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any
fact or matter the manner or ascertainment of which is not specifically
prescribed herein, the Master Servicer may for all purposes hereof rely on a
certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer
or the secretary of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such
certificate shall constitute full protection to the Master Servicer for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.
5.8 Administrative Agent; Advice of Counsel. In the exercise and
performance of its duties and obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents, the Master Servicer (i) may act directly or through agents or
attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them and (ii) may
consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected with
reasonable care and employed by it, and Master Servicer shall not be liable for
anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.
5.9 Merger, Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which the Master
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger or
consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or (iii) which may
succeed to the properties and assets of the Master Servicer substantially as a
whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of
assumption to perform every obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder, shall
be the successor to the Master Servicer under this Loan Agreement without
further act on the part of any of the parties to this Loan Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to SPV, TFC and the Administrative Agent written notice
of the occurrence of any event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above not
later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the occurrence of such event.

(e) None of the Pledged Receivables is forged or has affixed

thereto.
(j) The Pledged Receivables and the related Timeshare Mortgages
are and shall remain in full force and effect, are and will be valid and binding
obligations of the Purchasers subject thereto in favor of TFC, as holder; and

(l) The information regarding insurance maintained by Developer,
SPV, each Resort and the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Associations is true,
correct and complete in all respects, and all such insurance is in full force
and effect.
(m) TFC is not and shall not be required to take, and SPV has
taken any and all required steps to protect TFC's security interests in the
Collateral; and TFC is not and shall not be required to collect or realize upon
the Collateral or any distribution of interest or principal, nor shall loss of,
or damage to, the Collateral release SPV or Developer from any of the
Obligations.
6.4 Financial Statements and Business Condition; Solvency. (a) The
Financial Statements fairly present the respective financial conditions and
results of operations of SPV as of the date or dates thereof and for the periods
covered thereby. There are no material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or
contingent, of SPV as of the dates of such Financial Statements which are not
reflected therein or in the notes thereto, or which have not otherwise been
disclosed to TFC in writing. Except for any such changes heretofore expressly
disclosed in writing to TFC, there has been no material adverse change in the
respective financial condition of SPV from the financial condition shown in its
respective Financial Statements, nor has SPV incurred any material liabilities,
direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, which are not shown in its respective
Financial Statements.
(a) SPV is able to pay all of its debts as they become due, and
SPV shall maintain such solvent financial condition, giving effect to the
Obligations, as long as SPV is obligated to the Secured Parties under the Loan
Documents, or in any other manner whatsoever. SPV's Obligations under the Loan
Documents will not render SPV unable to pay its debts as they become due. The
present fair market value of SPV's assets are greater than the amount required
to pay its respective total liabilities. As of the date hereof and immediately
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) the fair value
of the Pledged Receivables is greater than the fair value of SPV's liabilities
(including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent
required to be recorded as a liability on the financial statements of SPV in
accordance with GAAP), and (ii) SPV is and will be solvent, is and will be able
to pay its debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably
small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and proposes to
engage. SPV does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. SPV is not contemplating
the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation
proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee
or similar official in respect of SPV or any of its assets. SPV is not
transferring any Collateral with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
its creditors.
6.5 Taxes. SPV shall (or shall cause the Subservicer to) pay or
use its best efforts to cause the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association to
collect and pay all applicable sales, rental, occupancy and other taxes with
regard to the sale or rental of any Timeshares related to
23
the Collateral hereunder. To the best of SPV's knowledge, no tax audit is
pending or is threatened with respect to SPV, Developer or any Applicable
Timeshare Owners' Association.
6.6 Title to Properties; Prior Liens. Subject only to Permitted
Liens, SPV currently has, good and marketable title to all of the Collateral and
all rights, properties and benefits appurtenant or related thereto. SPV's sole
business involves the purchase of Receivables from Developer and the Receivables
and other Collateral are the sole asset of SPV. SPV has no indebtedness or
liabilities other than those arising under the Loan Documents. No financing
statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the
Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been
filed in favor of TFC or its assignees.
6.7 Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Capital Structure. SPV has no
Subsidiaries; SPV has no Affiliates which have any involvement or interest in
any Resort in any way except as set forth on Exhibit J hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference. For so long as SPV is obligated to TFC under any of
the Loan Documents, there shall not, without TFC's and the Administrative
Agent's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in TFC's and the
Administrative Agent's sole discretion, be any Change of Control or change of
ownership of SPV that would result in the Developer owning less than all of the
equity in SPV. None of Developer, SPV, or the Affiliates of SPV or Subject
Person are parties to any proxies, voting trusts, agreements or similar
arrangements pursuant to which voting authority, rights or discretion with
respect to SPV or Developer is vested in any other Person.
6.8 Litigation, Proceedings, Etc. Except as disclosed to TFC and
the Administrative Agent in writing prior to the Closing Date, there are no
actions, suits, proceedings, orders or injunctions pending or, to the best of
SPV's knowledge, threatened against or affecting SPV, Developer, any Subject
Person, any Affiliate of SPV or any Subject Person, any Resort or any Applicable
Timeshare Owners' Association, at law or in equity, or before or by any
Governmental Authority or other tribunal, which (a) could have a material
adverse effect on SPV or any Affiliate of SPV; or (b) relate to the Loan or
which could have a material effect on the Collateral or any Resort. Exhibit H
hereto describes all currently pending litigation against SPV, Developer and
each Subject Person. None of SPV or, to the best of SPV's knowledge after
diligent inquiry, Developer or any Subject Person has received notice from any
court, Governmental Authority or other tribunal alleging any such Person or any
Resort has violated the Timeshare Act, any other applicable statute, ordinance,
rule or regulation governing the marketing and sale of Timeshares, any
Applicable Underlying Declaration or any other applicable laws, agreements or
arrangements that could have any material effect on the Loan, the Collateral or
any Resort. SPV shall provide to TFC prompt written notice of any action
commenced against any of the foregoing Persons.
6.9 True and Complete Disclosure. (a) The information, reports,
financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on
behalf of SPV to TFC or the other Secured Parties in connection with the Loan,
the Resorts or the Collateral or in connection with the negotiation, preparation
or delivery of the Loan Documents or included herein or therein or delivered
pursuant hereto or thereto, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or
therein not misleading or (in the case of projections) are based on reasonable
estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.
24
(a) The information set forth in the Contract Schedule is true and
correct with respect to each Contract File described therein.
(b) The SPV knows of no fact or condition which could prevent or
delay the sale of Timeshares to Purchasers or prevent or impede the operation of
any Resort in accordance with the Applicable Underlying Declaration and related
public offering statements or other disclosure documents, and in accordance with
applicable law, or prevent the SPV's performance of its Obligations pursuant to
the Loan Documents.
(c) There is no fact known to the SPV that, after due inquiry,
should reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on the ability of
the Developer or SPV or their Affiliates to perform their obligations under the
Loan Documents or on the value of the Collateral that has not been disclosed
herein, in the other Loan Documents or in a report, financial statement,
exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to TFC and the
other Secured Parties for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.
6.10 Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The proceeds of the Loan will
be used by SPV to cover the purchase price of the Receivables and to make
advances and pay dividends to the Developer. None of the proceeds of the Loan
will be used to purchase or carry any "margin stock" (as defined under
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as in
effect from time to time), and no portion of the proceeds of the Loan will be
extended to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.
6.11 No Defaults. No Default, Event of Default or Developer Event
of Termination exists, and there is no violation in any material respect of any
term of any agreement, charter instrument, bylaw or other instrument to which
SPV or any Affiliate thereof is a party or by which it may be bound.
6.12 Compliance with Law; Licenses, Etc.
(a) SPV is not in violation of the Timeshare Act or any statutes,
ordinances, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction to which SPV or its
property is subject; and
(b) SPV has not failed to obtain any consents or joinders, or any
approvals, licenses, permits, franchises or other governmental authorizations,
or to make or cause to be made any filings, submissions or registrations of any
Applicable Underlying Declaration with any government or agency or department
thereof, necessary to the establishment, ownership or operation of Encumbered
Timeshares or any of SPV's properties, or to the conduct of SPV's business;
which violation or failure to obtain or register materially adversely affects
SPV, the Encumbered Timeshares or the business, prospects, profits, properties
or condition (financial or otherwise) of SPV. SPV possesses and will at all
times continue to possess all requisite franchises, certificates of convenience
and necessity, operating rights, approvals, licenses, permits, consents,
authorizations, exemptions and orders as are necessary to carry on its business
as now being conducted, without any known conflict with the rights of others, in
each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, Lien, lease, encumbrance, charge,
security interest, title retention agreement or option other than as provided
for by the Loan Documents. All such licenses and permits are presently in full
force and effect, and there is no action currently pending or, to the
25
best of SPV's knowledge after diligent inquiry, threatened to revoke or modify
any such license or permit.
6.13 Restrictions of SPV. SPV is not, and will not be during the
term of this Loan Agreement, a party to any contractor agreement, or subject its
assets to any Lien, charge or corporate restriction, other than pursuant to the
Loan Documents.
6.14 Broker's Fees. SPV represents that it has not made any
commitment or taken any action which could result in a claim for any broker's,
finder's or other similar fees or commissions with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement. SPV agrees to indemnify TFC
and save and hold TFC harmless from and against all claims of any Person for any
broker's or finder's fee, commission or similar amount, and this indemnity shall
include reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
6.15 Deferred Compensation Plans. SPV has no pension, profit
sharing or other compensatory or similar plan (herein called a "Plan") providing
for a program of deferred compensation for any employee or officer. SPV is not
liable for any Plan of its Affiliates except as set forth in Exhibit M hereto.
No fact or situation, including but not limited to, any "Reportable Event," as
that term is defined in Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 as the same may be amended from time to time ("Pension Reform Act"),
exists or will exist in connection with any Plan of SPV which might constitute
grounds for termination of any Plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
or cause the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a
Trustee to administer any such Plan. No "Prohibited Transaction" within the
meaning of Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act exists or will exist upon the
execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement or the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective duties and obligations hereunder. SPV will (a) at all
times make prompt payment of contributions required to meet the minimum funding
standards set forth in Sections 302 through 305 of the Pension Reform Act with
respect to each of its Plans; (b) promptly, after the filing thereof, furnish to
TFC copies of each annual report required to be filed pursuant to Section 103 of
the Pension Reform Act in connection with each Plan for each Plan Year,
including any certified financial statements or actuarial statements required
pursuant to said Section 103; (c) notify TFC immediately of any fact, including,
but not limited to, any Reportable Event arising in connection with any Plan
which might constitute grounds for termination thereof by the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or for the appointment by the appropriate United States
District Court of a Trustee to administer the Plan; and (d) notify TFC of any
"Prohibited Transaction," as that term is defined in Section 406 of the Pension
Reform Act. SPV will not, and will not permit its Affiliate to, (a) engage in
any Prohibited Transaction; or (b) terminate any such Plan in a manner which
could result in the imposition of a Lien on any asset of SPV pursuant, to
Section 4068 of the Pension Reform Act.
6.16 Employees. SPV has no employees.
6.17 Reservation System. The Reservation System for each Resort is
fully operational for its intended purpose. The Reservation System includes the
computer software owned by Silverleaf Club and licensed by Silverleaf Club to
SPV and its successors and assigns, in each case so as to allow Purchasers
reasonable access thereto. Such license is irrevocable and shall remain in
effect so long as any Conveyed Assets remain outstanding. SPV acknowledges the
26
significance of the Reservation System to the ability of the Resorts to operate
properly and allow Purchasers to reserve assigned Units and exercise use rights.
SPV will cause Developer and Silverleaf Club to prepare reports and provide
information on the Reservation System promptly upon request from TFC.
Nothing contained herein shall abrogate or otherwise interfere with any
proprietary rights in the Reservation System that have been reserved by
Silverleaf Club or its pledgees, so long as such proprietary rights are not
asserted in a manner that would prevent the continued operation of the
Reservation System as contemplated herein.
6.18 Timeshare Documents and Reports. SPV has furnished to TFC true
and correct copies of the Timeshare Documents listed on Exhibit G hereto which
consist of all those placed on file by Developer with the applicable federal,
state or local regulatory or recording agencies, offices or departments, if
required.
6.19 Operating Contracts. The contracts, agreements and
arrangements listed and described on Exhibit K hereto comprise all of the
material agreements and arrangements relating to the operation of the Resorts to
which Developer is a party or holds any interest in and which in any way relate
to the use, occupancy, maintenance or enjoyment of the Encumbered Timeshares,
including without limitation, with respect to utilities, maintenance,
management, services, marketing and sales under which the fees to be paid equal
or exceed $50,000.00 (collectively, the "Operating Contracts").
6.20 Tax Identification Numbers. SPV's and Developer's respective
federal taxpayer's identification numbers are as follows:
SPV: SPV Tax ID Number
Developer: Developer Tax ID Number
6.21 True Sales. Each Receivable has been conveyed to SPV pursuant
to a "true" sale or contribution (and not merely a pledge) and SPV shall not be
consolidated with Developer, any Subject Person or any of their Affiliates for
the purposes of any Debtor Relief Laws.
6.22 Account Information. The Lock-Box Accounts and the Collection
Account are the only accounts to which Purchasers are directed to remit
Collections. Within 30 calendar days of the Closing Date, SPV shall establish
one or more merchant accounts in the name of the SPV (the "Merchant Accounts")
in order to facilitate the processing of credit card payments for the Pledged
Receivables. Such Merchant Accounts shall be dedicated solely to the Pledged
Receivables. SPV shall instruct providers of the Merchant Accounts to deposit
amounts credited to such Merchant Accounts into a Collection Account. Neither
SPV nor Subservicer shall change such instructions without the written consent
of TFC and the Administrative Agent.
6.23 Interest in Real Property. The Timeshare underlying each
Pledged Receivable is an interest in real property consisting of an undivided
interest in fee simple in a lodging unit or group of lodging units at a Resort
for a fixed or floating period of time; provided that, subject to the criteria
set forth in the definition of Eligible Receivable, Timeshares underlying the
Pledged
27
Receivables may be beneficial interests in the Oak N' Spruce Resort Trust and
are therefore not fee interests in real property.
6.24 Perfection Representations and Warranties. SPV, for the
benefit of TFC and the other Secured Parties, makes the following
representations and warranties (the "Perfection Representations and
Warranties"):
(a) General. This Loan Agreement creates a valid and continuing
Lien on the Collateral and the proceeds thereof in favor of TFC, which (a) in
the case of existing Collateral and the proceeds thereof, is enforceable upon
execution of this Loan Agreement against creditors of and purchasers from SPV
(or with respect to Substitute Receivables, as of the Substitution Date) and
which will be enforceable with respect to the Collateral hereafter and
thereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon such creation and (b) upon
filing of the financing statements described in clause (d) below and, in the
case of Substitute Receivables hereafter created, upon the creation thereof,
will be prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens).
(b) Characterization. The Receivables constitute "instruments,"
"general intangibles" or "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of Code
Section 9-102.
(c) Creation. SPV owns and has good and marketable title to, or
has a valid Lien on, the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, claim or
encumbrance other than the Permitted Liens; provided, however, that nothing in
this clause (c) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit SPV from suffering to
exist upon any of the Collateral any Liens for any taxes if such taxes shall not
at the time be due and payable. SPV has received all consents and approvals, if

Except for the Liens in favor of TFC granted pursuant to the Loan Documents, and
except for Permitted Liens, SPV covenants that no statutory or other Liens
whatsoever (including, without limitation, mechanics', materialmen's, judgment
or tax liens) shall attach to any of the Collateral. In the event that any such

to use reasonable efforts not to
30
unreasonably interfere with SPV's business operations in connection with any
such inspections. Without limiting the foregoing, TFC shall have the right to
make such credit investigations as TFC may deem appropriate in connection with

Such indemnification shall not give SPV any right to participate in the
selection of counsel for an Indemnified TFC Party or the conduct or settlement
of any dispute or proceeding for which indemnification may be claimed. TFC
agrees to give SPV written notice of the assertion of any claim or the
commencement of any action or lawsuit covered by this Section. It is the express
intention of the parties hereto that the indemnity provided for in this Section,
as well as the disclaimers of liability referred to in this Loan Agreement, are
intended to and shall protect and indemnify each Indemnified TFC Party from the
consequences of such Person's own negligence, whether or not that negligence is
the sole or concurring cause of any liability, obligation, loss, damage,
penalty, action, judgment, suit, claim, cost, expense or disbursement; provided,
however, that SPV shall not be required to protect and indemnify any Person from
the consequences of such Person's gross negligence, where such gross negligence
is the sole cause of the liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action,
judgment, suit, claim, cost, expense or disbursement for which indemnification
or protection would otherwise be required. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the full payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations and the
Parallel Claims and the termination of this Loan Agreement, and shall continue
thereafter in full force and effect.
If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that SPV is
entitled to recover damages from TFC for any reason or upon any cause, claim or
counterclaim, in connection with the Loan or the transactions provided for or
contemplated pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, SPV
stipulates and agrees that any such damages or awards shall be limited to the
amount of the fees (or any portion thereof) actually paid by SPV to TFC.
7.13 Servicing. SPV may not terminate the Subservicing Agreement
without TFC's prior written approval. The Subservicing Agreement shall be
cancelable by TFC in TFC's sole discretion pursuant to its terms. If the
Subservicer is an Affiliate of SPV, no servicing fees shall be paid during or
with respect to any period of time in which an uncured Event of Default exists.
39
7.14 Use of Name. SPV shall, and shall cause Developer under the
Developer Transfer Agreement, at all times during the term of the Loan, permit
TFC to use the name of SPV, any of its Affiliates and any Resort in any press
release, advertisement or other promotional materials issued regarding the
Collateral or the Loan; provided, however, that if no Event of Default has
occurred, SPV shall have the prior right to receive and approve such use.
7.15 Limitation on Other Debt/Further Encumbrances. Other than the
unsecured deferred purchase price for Receivables owed to Developer by SPV as
described in the Developer Transfer Agreement, SPV will not obtain financing or
grant liens with respect to the Collateral, Encumbered Timeshares, Receivables
or any of its other assets (whether now existing or created hereafter) other
than those of law in favor of TFC or other Secured Parties.
7.16 Restrictions on Transfers. SPV shall not, and shall not permit
its Affiliate to, without obtaining the prior written consent of TFC and the
Administrative Agent (which consent may be given, withheld or conditioned by
such Person, in such Person's sole discretion), whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise:
(i) transfer, sell, pledge, convey, hypothecate, factor
or assign all or any portion of the Collateral, or contract to do any
of the foregoing, including, without limitation, pursuant to options to
purchase and so-called "installment sales contracts," "land contracts,"
or "contracts for deed" (except pursuant to Section 6.2 of the
Developer Transfer Agreement and except that the Subservicer shall have
the right to sell Timeshares to Purchasers in arms-length transactions
in the ordinary course of the Developer's activities as Subservicer);
(ii) lease or license any portion of the Collateral, or
change the legal or actual possession or use thereof (except rental or
promotional entry use of Timeshares in the ordinary course of the
Developer's activities as Subservicer); or
(iii) permit the assignment, transfer, delegation, change,
modification or diminution of the duties or responsibilities of SPV or
Developer under the Loan Documents or of any manager of any Resort
approved by TFC as manager of such Resort (except for an assignment of
such duties to a professional management company or companies
reasonably acceptable to TFC).
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, and subject
to the terms of this Loan Agreement, the prior written consent of TFC and the
Administrative Agent shall be required for: (A) any transfer of the Collateral
or any part thereof (except with respect to the sale of Timeshares to Purchasers
in arms length transactions in the ordinary course of business) made to a
subsidiary or other Affiliate of SPV or otherwise; (B) any transfer of all or
any part of the Collateral by SPV to the Developer, the SPV Owners or their
Affiliates or vice versa; and (C) any corporate merger or consolidation,
disposition or other reorganization. In the event that TFC or the Administrative
Agent, in such Person's sole discretion, is willing to consent to a transfer
which would otherwise be prohibited by this Section, each of TFC and the
Administrative Agent may condition its consent on such terms as it desires,
including, without limitation, an increase in the Applicable Interest Rate and
the requirement that SPV pay a transfer fee, together with any
40
expenses incurred by TFC in connection with the granting of such consent
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses).
If SPV violates the terms of this Section, in addition to any other
rights or remedies which TFC may have hereunder, in any other Loan Document, or
at law or in equity, TFC may, by written notice to SPV, increase, effective
immediately as of the date of such violation, the Applicable Interest Rate to
the Applicable Default Rate.
7.17 Transactions with Affiliates. Without the prior written
consent of TFC, SPV shall not enter into any transaction with any Affiliate
including, without limitation, relating to the purchase, sale or exchange of any
assets or properties or the rendering of any service, except in the ordinary
course of, and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of, the operations of the
Resorts and upon fair and reasonable terms.
7.18 Restrictive Covenants. SPV will not without TFC's prior
written consent, seek, consent to, or otherwise acquiesce in, any change in any
private restrictive covenant, planning or zoning law or other public or private
restriction, which would materially and adversely limit or alter the use of any
Resort, Units or the Encumbered Timeshares.
7.19 Subordinated Obligations. SPV will not, directly or
indirectly: (i) permit any payment to be made in respect of any indebtedness,
liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, including without limitation,
the Subordinated Indebtedness, to any of the Developer, the SPV Owners, the
Subject Persons or their Affiliates which are subordinated by the terms thereof
or by separate instrument to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the
Secured Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of such subordination;
provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default exists with
respect to the Loan and payment of any such Subordinated Indebtedness does not
render SPV insolvent, such Subordinated Indebtedness may be repaid under such
regularly scheduled payment terms as are approved in writing by TFC; (ii) permit
the amendment, rescission or other modification of any such subordination
provisions of any of SPV's subordinated obligations in such a manner as to
affect adversely TFC's Lien in and to the Collateral or TFC's senior priority
position and entitlement as to payment and rights with respect to the SPV Note,
the Obligations and the Parallel Claims; or (iii) permit the prepayment or
redemption, except for mandatory prepayments, of all or any part of SPV's
obligations to the SPV Owners, the Subject Persons or their Affiliates, or of
any subordinated obligations of SPV except in accordance with the terms of such
subordination.
7.20 Collateral; No Modifications. (a) Neither SPV nor any Subject
Person shall take any action (or permit or consent to the taking of any action)
which might impair the value of all or any portion of the Collateral or any of
the rights of TFC with respect to the Collateral, nor shall SPV or any Subject
Person cause or permit any amendment to or modification of the form or terms of
any of the Pledged Receivables, Timeshare Mortgages or any Timeshare Documents,
other than Permitted Modifications.
(b) SPV (i) shall comply in all material respects with the Credit
and Collection Policies with regard to each Pledged Receivable, and with the
terms of such Receivable; and (ii) without prior written consent of TFC, shall
not, and shall not permit Developer to, amend or otherwise modify the Credit and
Collection Policy.
41
(c) SPV shall not change its name, its chief executive office, the
locations at which it does business or its corporate structure without first (i)
providing prior notice to TFC, (ii) amending any recorded or filed documents
which require amendment as a result thereof and (iii) providing TFC and the
Administrative Agent an opinion of independent counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to them, as to the continuation of the first priority Lien of TFC
and its assigns in the Collateral, each at SPV's expense.
(d) SPV will defend the Collateral against, and will take such
other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien or claim on or to the
Collateral, other than Permitted Liens and SPV will defend the right, title and
interest of TFC and the other Secured Parties and to all of the Collateral
against claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(e) Except for Permitted Modifications, the SPV shall not, without
the written consent of TFC, which may be given, withheld or conditioned by TFC
in TFC's sole discretion, extend, amend, forgive, discharge, compromise, cancel
or otherwise modify or waive the terms of any Collateral.
7.21 [Reserved.]
7.22 Limitations on Modifications, Waivers and Extensions of Loan
Documents. Without the prior written consent of TFC, SPV will not, nor will it
permit or allow any Person to, amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision
of any Loan Document. SPV shall take such actions as TFC shall request to
enforce SPV's rights under the Loan Documents, and shall take such actions as
are necessary to enable TFC to exercise such rights in TFC's own name.
7.23 Servicing. SPV shall not permit any Person other than the
Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer and the Subservicer to service the
Collateral without the prior written consent of TFC.
7.24 True and Complete Disclosure. All written information

on behalf of SPV or to the best of SPV's knowledge after diligent inquiry,
Developer to TFC or the Master Servicer in connection with this Loan Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will be true, correct and accurate in every material respect, or (in the
case of projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such
information is stated or certified.
7.25 Restrictions on Income and Accounts. The SPV shall not,
without the written consent of TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given, withheld or conditioned by each of TFC and the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion, sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or
otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Lien (other than
Permitted Liens) upon or with respect to, or assign any right to receive income
in respect of any Collateral with respect thereto, or upon or with respect to
the account in which any Collections or other proceeds of any Collateral are
deposited.
7.26 Payment Instructions to Purchasers. The SPV shall not, without
the written consent of TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may be given,
withheld or conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion, make any change

the Account Agent or in the Collection Account) as set forth in Section 2.4
hereof.
7.27 [Reserved.]
7.28 True Sales. The SPV shall not, without the written consent of
TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may be given, withheld or conditioned by
such Person in its sole discretion, make statements or disclosures or prepare
any financial statements which shall account for the transactions contemplated
by the Developer Transfer Agreement in any manner other than as a sale or
contribution of the Conveyed Assets to the SPV, or in any other respect account
for or treat the transactions contemplated thereby (including but not limited
to, for accounting, tax and reporting purposes) in any manner other than as a
sale, contribution or absolute assignment of the Conveyed Assets.
7.29 Restrictions on Actions Affecting Rights. The SPV shall not,
without the written consent of TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given, withheld or conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion, (a) take
any action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take action
may interfere with the enforcement of any rights under this Loan Agreement or
the Loan Documents that are material to the rights, benefits or obligations of
TFC or its assigns; (b) take any action, or fail to take any action, if such
action or failure to take action may interfere with the enforcement of any
rights with respect to the Collateral; or (c) fail to pay any tax, assessment,
charge, fee or other obligation of the SPV with respect to the Collateral,
unless and to the extent only that such taxes, fees, assessment or other
governmental charges shall be contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings and that, to the extent required by GAAP, proper and adequate book
reserves relating thereto are established by the SPV and then only to the extent
that a bond is filed in cases where the filing of a bond is necessary to avoid
the creation of a Lien against any of its properties, no tax lien or similar
Lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted with respect to any such
tax, fees, assessment or other governmental charge, or fail to defend any
action, if such failure to pay or defend may adversely affect the priority or
enforceability of the first priority perfected security interest of TFC and its
assigns in the Collateral or the right, title or interest of such Persons in the
Collateral.
7.30 Offices and Records. The SPV shall keep its chief place of
business and chief executive offices at the SPV Address or, upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to TFC, at such other location in a jurisdiction where
all action required by Section 7.17 shall have been taken with respect to the
Collateral. In connection therewith, TFC may institute procedures to permit it
to confirm the Purchaser outstanding balances in respect of any Collateral. The
SPV agrees to render to TFC, at the SPV's own cost and expense, such clerical
and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard to the
foregoing. If an Event of Default or Default hereunder shall have occurred and
be continuing, promptly upon request therefor, the SPV shall deliver to TFC

prior to the Termination Date (as defined in such Confirmation) any related

demand therefor.
7.33 Separate Corporate Existence. SPV hereby acknowledges that TFC
is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement in
reliance upon SPV's identity as a legal entity separate from its Affiliates.
Therefore, from and after the date hereof, SPV shall take all reasonable steps
to continue SPV's identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to
third Persons that SPV is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from
those of any of its Affiliates and any other Person, and is not a division of
any such Affiliate or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, SPV shall take such actions, as shall be required in order that:
(i) SPV will be a Delaware corporation whose activities
are restricted by its organizational documents to entering into this
Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and conducting such other
activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the
activities referred to in this Section.

compensated from funds of SPV for services provided to SPV. SPV will
engage no agents other than (i) a Master Servicer, which Master
Servicer will be fully compensated for its services to Trust by payment
of the Servicer Fee, and (ii) an administrator or manager pursuant to
an administrative services agreement, whose ongoing fees, if any, will
be paid from funds of SPV.
(iii) To the extent, if any, that SPV and Developer (or any
other Affiliate thereof) share items of expenses such as legal,
auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be
allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the
value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related
to the actual use or the value of services rendered, it being
understood that Developer shall pay all expenses relating to the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, legal and other up-front fees.
(iv) SPV's operating expenses will not be the
responsibility of Developer or any other Affiliate thereof.
(v) SPV will have its own separate stationery.
(vi) SPV's books and records will be maintained separately
from those of Developer and any other Affiliate thereof.
(vii) All audited financial statements of Developer or any
Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include SPV will contain, to
the extent required by GAAP, detailed notes clearly stating that (A)
all of SPV's assets are owned by SPV, and (B) SPV is a separate legal
entity with creditors who have received ownership and/or security
interests in SPV's assets.
44
(viii) SPV's assets will be maintained in a manner that
facilitates their identification and segregation from those of
Developer or any Affiliate thereof.
(ix) SPV will strictly observe independent business
formalities in its dealings with Developer or any Affiliate thereof,
including, without limitation, separate books and records, separate
officers and separate meetings of the Board of Directors, and funds or
other assets of SPV will not be commingled with those of Developer or
any Affiliate thereof. SPV shall not maintain joint bank accounts or
other depository accounts to which Developer or any Affiliate thereof
has independent access. None of SPV's funds will at any time be pooled
with any funds of Developer or any Affiliate thereof.
(x) SPV will maintain arm's-length relationships with
Developer and any Affiliate thereof. Any Person that renders or
otherwise furnishes services to SPV will be compensated by SPV at
market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to SPV
except as otherwise provided in these Loan Documents. Except as
contemplated in the Loan Documents, SPV will not be and will not hold
itself out to be responsible for the debts of Developer or any
Affiliate thereof or the decisions or actions respecting the daily
business and affairs of Developer or any Affiliate thereof; and none of
Developer or any Affiliate thereof will hold itself out to be
responsible for the debts of SPV or the decisions or actions respecting
the daily business and affairs of SPV.
(xi) SPV shall ▇▇▇▇, and cause the Developer to ▇▇▇▇, its
master computer records to clearly show that the Pledged Receivables
have been conveyed by Developer to SPV, and have been subjected to
liens in favor of TFC and its assigns.
7.34 Lines of Business. SPV shall not engage in any other business
activities other than the transactions expressly contemplated by the Loan
Document and activities incidental thereto.
7.35 Recordations and Endorsements. SPV shall or shall enforce its
right under the Developer Transfer Agreement to cause each Receivable to be
endorsed by the Developer in favor of SPV and by SPV in favor of TFC, and shall
cause each Timeshare Mortgage to be properly assigned and recorded with each
Lien Filing Office within twenty-one days of the date on which such related
Receivable initially becomes part of the Collateral hereunder. SPV shall cause
Developer to assign to TFC all of its interest as a secured party in and to all
UCC filings made to secure or perfect an interest in the Pledged Receivables
pertaining to the Oak N' Spruce Trust.
7.36 Demand Note. SPV shall demand payment under the Demand Note
immediately upon request of TFC or its assigns at any time (i) when an Event of
Default or a Developer Event of Termination exists, or (ii) when SPV otherwise
needs funds with which to pay the Obligations. TFC or its assigns may make such
demand in the name of SPV or in its own name, but only to the extent necessary
to satisfy the Obligations then due. SPV shall not make any such demand, or
modify the terms of the Demand Note in any way, without the prior written
consent of TFC and its assigns.
45
7.37 Limitation on Distributions. SPV shall not declare, pay or
make any distribution (in cash, property or obligations) on any membership
interest (now or hereafter outstanding) of SPV or on any warrants, options or
other rights with respect to any membership interest (now or hereafter
outstanding) of SPV or apply any of its funds, property or assets to the
purchase, redemption, sinking fund or other retirement of, any membership
interest (now or hereafter outstanding) of SPV, or warrants, options or other
rights with respect to any membership interest (now or hereafter outstanding) of
the SPV, or make any deposit for any of the foregoing purposes; except that SPV
may declare, pay or make distributions (in cash or property) on any membership
interests or on warrants, options or other rights with respect to any membership
interests or make loans to any holder of membership interests if immediately
before and after giving effect to any proposed action described above, (i) no
Event of Default or Developer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be
continuing, and (ii) after giving effect to such distribution, SPV shall have a
positive net worth calculated in accordance with GAAP.
7.38 UCC Filings. SPV shall maintain, or shall cause the
Subservicer to maintain, UCC filings, including amendments and continuations
thereof, with regard to the Oak N' Spruce Trust necessary to maintain a first
priority, perfected security interest therein in favor of TFC.

(a) Acceleration. Without demand or notice of any nature
whatsoever, declare the unpaid balance of the Loan, or any part thereof,
immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due and payable.
(b) Judgment. Reduce TFC's claim to judgment, foreclose or
otherwise enforce TFC's Lien on all or any part of the Collateral by any
available judicial or other procedure under law. TFC's right to ▇▇▇ and recover
a judgment, either before, after or during the pendency of any proceeding for
the enforcement of the applicable Lien, and the right of TFC to recover such
judgment shall not be affected by any taking, possession or foreclosure sale
hereunder or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the
enforcement of the terms or the foreclosure of the Lien thereof.
(c) Sale of Collateral. After notification, if any, provided for
in Section 9.2 below, sell or otherwise dispose of, at the office of TFC, or
elsewhere, as chosen by TFC, 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 TFC'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 and Parallel Claims have been paid in full and fully performed),
and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit the Collateral. SPV
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 TFC.
(d) Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, retain such
portion of the Collateral as shall aggregate in value to an amount equal to the
total amount owed by SPV pursuant to the Loan Documents, in satisfaction of the
Obligations and Parallel Claims, whenever the circumstances are such that TFC is
entitled and elects to do so under applicable law.
(e) Purchase of Collateral. Buy all or any part of the Collateral
at any public or private sale.
(f) Exercise of Other Rights. TFC 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 SPV, the right to continue to collect all payments made on the Pledged
Receivables, and to apply such payments to the Obligations and Parallel Claims,
and to ▇▇▇ in its own name the maker of any defaulted Pledged Receivables. TFC
may also
49
exercise any and all other rights or remedies afforded by any other applicable
laws or by the Loan Documents as TFC 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 TFC in the Loan Documents. TFC shall also have the right to require
SPV to assemble any of the Collateral not in TFC's possession, at SPV's expense,
and make it available to TFC at a place to be determined by TFC which is
reasonably convenient to both parties, and TFC shall have the right to take
immediate possession of all of the Collateral, and may enter the Resorts or any
of the premises of SPV 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 TFC, to keep and store the same on said
premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of SPV, SPV agrees not
to charge TFC 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).
9.2 Notice of Sale. Reasonable notification of the 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 SPV 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, TFC
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. TFC shall have the right to bid at any public or private sale on
its own behalf. Out of money arising from any such sale, TFC shall retain an
amount equal to all 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 Parallel Claims, and in the event of deficiency, SPV shall
remain liable to TFC. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to
SPV 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 SPV,
or by SPV or any other party against TFC, which in TFC's sole discretion makes
it advisable for TFC to seek counsel for the protection and preservation of its
security interest, or to defend its own interest, such expenses and counsel fees
shall be allowed to TFC 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, SPV agrees that upon the
occurrence or existence of an Event of Default, TFC may, 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, TFC may solicit offers to buy such
Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from a limited number of investors
deemed by TFC, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who might
be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if TFC solicits such offers from
not less than three (3) such investors, then the acceptance by TFC of the
highest offer obtained
50
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, TFC may, with or without proceeding with
such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment or performance of the Obligations,
without notice, terminate TFC's further performance under this Loan Agreement or
any other agreement or agreements between TFC and SPV or any Affiliate of SPV,
without further liability or obligation by TFC, and may also, at any time,
appropriate and apply on any Obligations any and all Collateral in its (or the
Account Agent's) possession, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts,
reserves, indebtedness or other moneys due or owing to SPV held by TFC hereunder
or under any other financing agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not.
Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Loan Agreement by lapse of
time, the giving of notice or otherwise, shall absolve, release or otherwise
affect the liability of SPV in respect of transactions prior to such
termination, or affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers and
remedies of TFC, but they shall, in all events, continue until all of the
Obligations and Parallel Claims are satisfied.
9.4 Rights of TFC Regarding Collateral. In addition to all other
rights possessed by TFC, TFC, at its option, may 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
TFC or its nominee;
(b) Notify Purchasers and other obligors under the Pledged
Receivables to make payments directly to TFC, or to otherwise take control of
any proceeds of any of the Collateral;
(c) Extend or renew the Loan and/or the Pledged Receivables or
other Collateral and grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to
the Obligations and/or the Pledged Receivables or other Collateral, 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 Loan Agreement.
9.5 Delegation of Duties and Rights. TFC 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 TFC Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions
contained in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall give TFC
the right or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of SPV
or its Affiliates.
9.7 Waivers. The acceptance by TFC 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 TFC
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 TFC in
51
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 exercises thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy under
the Loan Documents or otherwise. Further, except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Loan Agreement or by applicable law, SPV 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 TFC
under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to TFC under any of the Loan Documents, at law or in
equity, whether or not the Loan is due and payable and whether or not TFC shall
have instituted any suit for collection or other action in connection with the
Loan Documents.
9.9 Expenditures by TFC. Any sums expended by or on behalf of TFC
pursuant to the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein shall become
part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the Applicable Default Rate,
from the date of such expenditure until the date repaid.
9.10 Diminution in Value of Collateral. TFC shall not 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 TFC's
negligence or inadvertence, whether such negligence or inadvertence is the sole
or concurring cause of any damage, but specifically excluding any diminution or
loss in value which is actually and proximately caused by TFC's failure to
retain the Pledged Receivables or otherwise due to TFC's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
SECTION 10. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TFC
10.1 Protection of Collateral. TFC may, at any time and from time
to time, take such actions as TFC deems necessary or appropriate to protect
TFC's Liens and security interests in and to preserve the Collateral, and to
establish, maintain and protect the enforceability of TFC's rights with respect
thereto, all at the expense of SPV. SPV agrees to cooperate fully with all of
TFC's efforts to preserve the Collateral and TFC's Liens, security interests and
rights and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral and TFC's Liens,
security interests and rights as TFC may direct, including, without limitation,
by promptly paying upon TFC'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 TFC's expenses of preserving the Collateral and its Liens and security
interests and rights therein shall be added to the principal amount of the Loan.
10.2 Performance by TFC. If SPV or its Affiliate fails to perform
any agreement contained in the Loan Documents, and subject to any notice or cure
periods, TFC may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement,
and the expenses of TFC incurred in
52
connection therewith shall be payable by SPV under Section 10.5 below. In no
event, however, shall TFC have any obligation or duty whatsoever to perform any
covenant or agreement of SPV or its Affiliate contained herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents, and any such performance by TFC shall be wholly
discretionary with TFC. The performance by TFC of any agreement or covenant of
SPV or its Affiliate on any occasion shall not give rise to any duty on the part
of TFC to perform any such agreements or covenants on any other occasion or at
any time. In addition, SPV acknowledges that TFC shall not at any time or under
any circumstances whatsoever have any duty to SPV or to any other Person to
exercise any of TFC's rights or remedies hereunder.
10.3 No Liability of TFC. Neither the acceptance of this Loan
Agreement by TFC, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by TFC, shall be
construed in any way as an assumption by TFC of any obligations,
responsibilities or duties of SPV or its Affiliate arising in connection with
the Resorts or under the Timeshare Documents, any applicable statutes,
ordinances, rules or regulations, under any of the Operating Contracts, or in
connection with any other business of SPV or its Affiliate or the Collateral, or
otherwise bind TFC to the performance of any obligations with respect to the
Resorts or the Collateral; it being expressly understood that TFC shall not be
obligated to perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty,
or liability of SPV or its Affiliate with respect to the Resorts or any of the
Collateral, or under any of the Timeshare Documents, any applicable statutes,
ordinances, rules or regulations, 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 Loan Agreement, any action or actions on the part
of TFC taken hereunder, nor the acquisition of the Pledged Receivables and the
related Timeshare Mortgages by TFC prior to or following the occurrence of an
Event of Default shall constitute an assumption by TFC of any Obligations of SPV
or its Affiliate with respect to the Resorts or the Pledged Receivables, the
related Timeshare Mortgages or any documents or instruments executed in
connection therewith, and SPV or its Affiliate shall continue to be liable for
all of its obligations thereunder or with respect thereto.
10.4 Right to Defend Action Affecting Security. TFC may, at SPV's
expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding, at law or in equity,
which TFC in good faith believes may affect the Liens or security interests
granted under this Loan Agreement, including without limitation, with respect to
Pledged Receivables, Timeshare Mortgages, the value of the Collateral or TFC's
rights under any of the Loan Documents.
10.5 Expenses. All expenses payable by SPV under any provision of
this Loan Agreement shall be an Obligation of SPV, and if paid by TFC, shall be
repaid by SPV to TFC, upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Applicable
Default Rate from the date of payment of such expense(s) by TFC until repaid by
SPV.
10.6 Right of Set-Off. TFC shall have the right to set-off against
any or all of the Collateral any Obligations then due and unpaid by SPV. SPV
shall not exercise any rights of set-off against TFC in order to reduce or
satisfy the Obligations or any other amounts owing to TFC. SPV shall satisfy the
Obligations when due in good funds denominated in U.S. Dollars.
53
10.7 No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of TFC in
exercising any right, remedy or power under this Loan Agreement or in giving or
insisting upon strict performance by SPV 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. TFC,
notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon
the strict performance by SPV of any and all of the terms and provisions of this
Loan Agreement to be performed by SPV. The collection and application of
proceeds, the entering and taking possession of the Collateral, and the exercise
of the rights of TFC contained in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall not cure or waive any Default, or affect any Default or affect
any notice of Default, or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. No
waiver by TFC of any breach or Default of or by any party hereunder shall be
deemed to alter or affect TFC's rights hereunder with respect to any prior or
subsequent Default.
10.8 Right of TFC to Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release
Security, Etc. Any of the following actions by TFC or its assigns, with or
without notice, shall not impair or otherwise affect the liability of any Person
or entity, including, without limitation, SPV or Developer for the payment or
performance of any of their obligations under the Loan Documents and shall not
affect or impair TFC's Lien on the Collateral, or the remainder thereof, as
security for the full amount of the Obligations or Parallel Claims: (a) release
of any Person liable for the payment of the Loan; (b) of extension the time or
otherwise alter the terms of payment of the Loan; (c) acceptance of additional
security for the Obligations or Parallel Claims of any kind, including deeds of
trust or mortgages and security agreements; (d) alteration, substitution or
release of any property securing the Obligations or Parallel Claims; (e)
realization upon any Collateral for the payment of all or any portion of the
Obligations or Parallel Claims in such order and manner as it may deem fit; or
(f) entering into, modifying or terminating any subordination, guaranty or other
agreement affecting this Loan Agreement or the lien or charge thereof.
10.9 Assignment of TFC's Interest. SPV acknowledges that its right,
title and interest in, to and under the Developer Transfer Agreement to which it
is a party constitute part of the Collateral, including, without limitation, all
amounts due thereunder. TFC may assign, without SPV's consent, the Loan and its
interests in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any other
Person, including, without limitation, any of its Affiliates. The Administrative
Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility Documents, has a
security interest in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and may
from time to time enforce TFC's rights and remedies hereunder. The
Administrative Agent, as TFC's assignee, has the right, at any time, to give or
withhold any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, demand, extension or
waiver requested from TFC in its capacity as lender (but not as Master Servicer)
hereunder. In the event of a conflict between any such consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, demand, extension or waiver given by TFC and any such item
given by the Administrative Agent, the request, notice, direction or demand of
the Administrative Agent shall control; provided that this Section shall not
constitute a waiver by TFC or its Affiliates of any of their rights under, or
any provision of, the Securitization Facility Documents concerning the
Administrative Agent's exercise of the rights described in this Section. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to perform any of TFC's duties or
obligations under or in connection with this Loan Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. The Administrative Agent, as TFC's Collateral assignee, shall
54
have the benefit of all representations and warranties made to SPV in the
Developer Transfer Agreement or made by SPV in this Loan Agreement.
10.10 Notice to Purchaser. SPV authorizes any of TFC, the Account
Agent or Master Servicer (but neither TFC, the Account Agent or the Master
Servicer 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 Receivable with regard to the Lien of TFC or the other Secured Parties
thereon and any other matter relating thereto, and by no later than the Closing
Date, SPV shall deliver to TFC a notification to the Purchasers executed in
blank by SPV and in form acceptable to TFC, pursuant to which the Purchasers (or
other obligors) may be directed to remit all payments in respect of the
Collateral as TFC may require.
10.11 Collection of Pledged Receivables. SPV hereby directs and
authorizes each Person liable for the payment of any Pledged Receivable and
promptly after the Closing Date, shall direct in writing each such Person, to
pay each installment thereon to the applicable Account Agent, pursuant to the
applicable Blocked Account Agreement, unless and until directed otherwise by
written notice from the Administrative Agent or, at the Administrative Agent's
direction, from SPV, after which such parties are and shall be directed to make
all further payments on the Pledged Receivables in accordance with the
directions of the Administrative Agent. SPV hereby further authorizes, directs
and empowers the Account Agent, the Master Servicer or any other Person as may
be designated by the Administrative 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 SPV 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 SPV, 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 had been endorsed by
SPV.
10.12 Power of Attorney. SPV does hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint TFC as SPV's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power
of substitution, for SPV and in SPV's name, place and stead, or otherwise, to
(a) endorse any checks or drafts payable to SPV in the name of SPV and in favor
of TFC as provided in Section 10.11 above; (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) upon an Event of Default, to institute and prosecute, in TFC's own name, any
and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that TFC 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 SPV's post
office mailing address; and (e) upon an Event of Default, generally to do all
and any such acts and things in relation to the Collateral as TFC shall in good
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ advisable. SPV 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 SPV in any manner, or for any reason, unless and
until a release of the same is executed by TFC and duly recorded in the
appropriate public records of the Resort States.
55
10.13 Relief from Automatic Stay, etc. TFC is making the Loan
evidenced by the SPV Note and this Loan Agreement in reliance on SPV's express
assurances that it shall not attempt to delay or frustrate the exercise of any
rights or remedies granted TFC hereunder upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder. In the event that SPV shall make application for or seek
relief or protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") or other Debtor Relief Laws, SPV admits, stipulates and agrees that such
application shall have been filed in bad faith and in abrogation of SPV's
express assurances to TFC hereunder to the contrary, to frustrate or delay the
exercise of any of the rights and remedies available to TFC under this Loan
Agreement and/or at law or in equity, and shall be deemed to have been so filed
in the United States Bankruptcy Court (the "Bankruptcy Court") or other court in
which such filing was made. In any case filed by or against SPV under the
Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Law, TFC shall have, in addition to any
and all rights and remedies available to TFC under this Loan Agreement and/or at
law or in equity, the right (and SPV agrees not to interpose any objection
thereto and hereby waives its rights with respect thereto) to request and
receive from the Bankruptcy Court, or from such other court of competent
jurisdiction, immediate relief from the automatic stay imposed under Section 362
of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision under any other federal or state
law or statute, any stay or other restriction on the rights and remedies of TFC
under any of the court's equitable powers, a termination of the exclusive period
provided by Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, or by any similar provision of
any other federal or state law or statute, and a dismissal of the bankruptcy
case or proceeding. In addition, SPV agrees that it will not seek, directly or
indirectly, in any case commenced by or against it under the Bankruptcy Code or
other Debtor Relief Law, any extension of the exclusivity period otherwise
available to a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code including, without limitation,
the exclusivity period provided under Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Nothing in this Loan Agreement shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict
any rights of TFC to seek in the Bankruptcy Court, or any other court of
competent jurisdiction, any relief TFC may deem appropriate in the event that a
voluntary or involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor
Relief Law is filed by or against SPV or Developer.
SECTION 11. TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Loan Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and the
security interests granted hereby and the duties, covenants and liabilities of
SPV hereunder and all the terms, conditions and provisions hereof relating
thereto shall continue to be fully operative until all of the Obligations and
Parallel Claims have been satisfied in full. SPV expressly agrees that if SPV
makes a payment to TFC, 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, copies of the requests or notices from
SPV to TFC which are specified in Section 12.10 of this Loan Agreement shall not
be delivered to TFC's Providence, Rhode Island address. In addition, all
documents, instruments and other items to be delivered to TFC from time to time
pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be delivered to TFC's office in East
Hartford Connecticut.
57
12.2 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made by SPV herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other
agreement, document, instrument or certificate delivered by or on behalf of SPV
under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied
upon by TFC and shall survive the delivery to TFC of such Loan Documents (and
each part thereof), regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of TFC.
12.3 Governing Law. THIS LOAN 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. SPV HEREBY AGREES TO ACCEPT THE
STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AS HAVING PROPER JURISDICTION AND
BEING THE PROPER VENUE FOR ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
12.4 Limitation on Interest. TFC and SPV intend to comply at all
times with all applicable usury laws. All agreements between TFC and SPV,
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 SPV Note or otherwise, shall the interest
contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to TFC exceed the
highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, of the SPV 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 TFC 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 SPV. All interest paid
or agreed to be paid to TFC 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. SPV 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. TFC hereby expressly
disclaims any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount
which exceeds the highest lawful rate. The provisions of the SPV Note, this Loan
Agreement, and all other Loan Documents are hereby modified to the extent
necessary to conform with the limitations and provisions of this Section, and
this Section shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement
now or hereafter existing. This Section shall never be superseded or waived
unless there is a written document executed by TFC and SPV, expressly declaring
the usury limitation of this Loan 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 Loan Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under present or future laws
58
effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, this
Loan 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 Loan Agreement and/or the other 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 Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of SPV and TFC and
their respective successors and assigns; provided that SPV may not transfer or
assign any of its rights or obligations under this Loan Agreement, or the other
Loan Documents without the prior written consent of TFC. This Loan 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 and the
Secured Parties. No other Person shall have any rights or derive any benefits
under or with respect to this Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents except
as specifically set forth herein or otherwise provided in a written document
signed by SPV and TFC. No Person other than SPV shall have any standing to
require satisfaction of the conditions for instance set forth therein in
accordance with the terms or be entitled to assume that TFC will refuse to make
the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, in no
other Person, other than TFC, under any circumstances whatsoever, shall be
deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which TFC may
freely waive in whole or in part, at any time, in its sole discretion, if it
deems it desirable to do so. In particular, TFC makes no representation and
assumes no obligation as to any Person concerning the quality of the
construction of the Improvements by SPV or the absence therefrom of defects. In
this connection, SPV agrees to and shall indemnify TFC from any liability, claim
or loss, together with attorneys' fees and costs, resulting from the
disbursement of the Loan proceeds or from the condition of any Resort, whether
related to the quality of construction or otherwise and whether arising during
or after the term of the Loan. This provision shall survive the repayment of the
Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the possibility of
such liability or claim exists.
12.7 Amendment. This Loan Agreement (including all exhibits and
schedules hereto) may not be amended or modified, and no term or provision
hereof may be waived, except by a written instrument signed by all of the
parties hereto and the Administrative Agent.
12.8 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Loan Agreement may be signed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signature thereto and hereto were on the same instrument. This
Loan Agreement shall become effective upon TFC's receipt of one or more
counterparts hereof signed by SPV and TFC.
12.9 TFC Not a Fiduciary. The relationship between SPV and TFC is
solely that of debtor and creditor, and TFC has no fiduciary or other special
relationship with SPV and no term or provision of any of the Loan Documents
shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between SPV and TFC to be
other than that of debtor and creditor.
59
12.10 Return of Receivables. In the event that all Obligations and
the Parallel Claims are fully satisfied, then within a reasonable time after
TFC's release of its security interest in the Collateral under Section 3.1, TFC
shall endorse the Pledged Receivables "Pay to the order of Silverleaf Finance
II, Inc., without recourse," and deliver such Pledged Receivables, together with
any other nonrecourse Collateral reassignment documents requested and prepared
by SPV, at SPV'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 Loan 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 Loan Agreement.
12.12 Total Agreement. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including the exhibits and schedules to them, (i) comprise the entire
agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written,
between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, (ii) cannot be
changed or terminated orally or by course of conduct, and (iii) shall be deemed
effective as of the date it is accepted by TFC at the offices set forth above.
12.13 Litigation. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE
LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF SPV AND TFC HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY,
INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND OR CLARIFY ANY RIGHT, POWER, REMEDY OR
DEFENSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY;
AND EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE
AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH OF SPV AND TFC FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK TO
CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY
OTHER LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. FURTHER,
SPV HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF TFC, INCLUDING TFC'S
COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT TFC WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL
PROVISION. SPV ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT TO TFC'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
The waiver and stipulations of SPV and TFC in this Section 12.13 shall
survive the final payment or performance of all of the Obligations and Parallel
Claims and the resulting termination of this Loan Agreement.

respects to the definition of Eligible Developer, and (y) any resorts of such
Other Developer to be included in the Program satisfy eligibility criteria
comparable in all material respects to the definition of Eligible Resort. SPV

based on misrepresentation or breach of contract by such Other Developer or
otherwise, shall not be a breach of this Section, (ii) a change in circumstances
following such determination that causes such Other Developer or resorts to
cease to satisfy such eligibility requirements shall not be a breach of this
