ARTICLE III

CONVERSION OF SHARES; CONSIDERATION

3.1 Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of BFC, Merger Sub, Bluegreen or the holders of any of their respective securities:

(a) 100% of the membership interests in Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and unchanged following the Effective Time and constitute 100% of the membership interests in the Surviving Company.

(b) Each share of Bluegreen Common Stock owned by BFC, Merger Sub or Bluegreen (in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted), immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no stock of BFC, cash or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.1, each share of Bluegreen Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Bluegreen Common Stock canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof become and be converted into the right to receive eight (8) shares of BFC Class A Common Stock (such ratio of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock to shares of Bluegreen Common Stock, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1(e) and any other applicable terms hereof, being referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”). Fractional shares of BFC Class A Common Stock will not be issued in connection with the Merger. Rather, the aggregate number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock to which a holder of Bluegreen Common Stock shall be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger will be rounded up to the next largest whole number. In furtherance of the foregoing, if more than one Bluegreen Stock Certificate shall be surrendered for the account of the same holder, the number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock to be issued to such holder in exchange for the Bluegreen Stock Certificates which have been surrendered shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by all of the Bluegreen Stock Certificates surrendered for the account of such holder.

(d) At the Effective Time, holders of Bluegreen Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Bluegreen, and Bluegreen Stock Certificates shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the consideration provided under this Article III.

(e) In connection with the Reverse Split, any other action effected between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time pursuant to which the outstanding shares of BFC Class A Common Stock or Bluegreen Common Stock is changed into a different number of shares (including by reason of a reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, division, combination or exchange of shares), and any dividend or other distribution payable in stock or other securities declared with regard to the BFC Class A Common Stock or Bluegreen Common Stock with a record date between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall automatically be adjusted to provide the holders of Bluegreen Common Stock the same economic effect as that contemplated by this Agreement if the Reverse Split, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, division, combination, exchange, dividend or other distribution had not taken place.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, BFC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, or such other bank or trust company designated by BFC and who is reasonably satisfactory to Bluegreen (the “Exchange Agent”) for the benefit of the holders of certificates representing the shares of Bluegreen Common Stock (“Bluegreen Stock Certificates”) for exchange in accordance with this Article III through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of BFC Class A Common Stock (“BFC Stock Certificates”) issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(c) above (such BFC Stock Certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto (without any interest thereon), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) to be exchanged pursuant to this Article III for outstanding Bluegreen Stock Certificates. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Promptly, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, BFC will instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Bluegreen Common Stock who has not previously surrendered his, her or its Bluegreen Stock Certificates (other than holders of any shares of Bluegreen Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or holders of Dissenting Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal reasonably acceptable to Bluegreen (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title

to such holder’s Bluegreen Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Bluegreen Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as to which BFC and Bluegreen may agree); and (ii) instructions reasonably acceptable to Bluegreen for use in effecting the surrender of the Bluegreen Stock Certificates in exchange for BFC Stock Certificates in accordance with this Article III (collectively, the “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c) From and after the Effective Time and upon the surrender of a Bluegreen Stock Certificate for cancellation (or affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates reasonably acceptable to BFC and the Exchange Agent) to the Exchange Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other customary documents as may be required pursuant thereto, the holder of such Bluegreen Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Exchange Agent shall deliver in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal, BFC Stock Certificates representing that number of whole shares of BFC Class A Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Bluegreen Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Bluegreen Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 3.1 (the “Merger Consideration”), and the Bluegreen Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Bluegreen, a certificate evidencing the proper number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock may be issued in accordance with this Article III to a transferee if the Bluegreen Stock Certificate evidencing such shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence reasonably acceptable to BFC and the Exchange Agent that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Bluegreen Stock Certificate (other than those representing shares of Bluegreen Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions declared or paid thereon after the Effective Time.

(d) All shares of BFC Class A Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Bluegreen Stock Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been issued and paid, respectively, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Bluegreen Common Stock theretofore represented by such Bluegreen Stock Certificates.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Bluegreen Stock Certificates upon the date that is nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to BFC, and any holders of Bluegreen Stock Certificates (other than holders of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and holders of Dissenting Shares) who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to BFC for the Merger Consideration.

(f) None of BFC, Bluegreen, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of BFC Class A Common Stock delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Bluegreen Stock Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to the date that is seven (7) years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity), any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of BFC, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) If any Bluegreen Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of a customary affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Bluegreen Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if requested by BFC, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as BFC may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Bluegreen Stock Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Bluegreen Stock Certificate the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III.

3.3 Stock Transfer Books. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Bluegreen or the Surviving Company of the shares of Bluegreen Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Bluegreen Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and, subject to the provisions of this Article III, exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article III, except as otherwise required by Law.

3.4 Bluegreen Options and Restricted Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Bluegreen Option Plans shall be assumed by BFC, and each Bluegreen Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by BFC and converted into an option to purchase shares of BFC Class A Common Stock in such number and at such exercise price as provided below and otherwise having the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except to the extent that such terms, conditions and restrictions may be altered in accordance with their terms, or the terms of the applicable Bluegreen Option Plan as a result of the Merger, and except that all references to Bluegreen in each such Bluegreen Option shall be deemed to refer to BFC). All restricted stock awards issued under the Bluegreen Option Plans outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive restricted stock awards in the form of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock, to be adjusted as provided in Section 3.4(b).

(b) The number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock to be subject to each assumed Bluegreen Option and restricted stock award shall be adjusted to equal the product of (i) the number of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock subject to the original Bluegreen Option or restricted stock award, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio. In addition, with respect to each assumed Bluegreen Option, the exercise price shall be adjusted to equal (i) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(c) In effecting such assumption and conversion, the aggregate number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock to be subject to each assumed Bluegreen Option or restricted stock award will be rounded up, if necessary, to the next largest whole share, and the aggregate exercise price of each assumed Bluegreen Option shall be rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole cent.

(d) The adjustments provided herein with respect to any assumed Bluegreen Options that are “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(e) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, BFC shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of BFC Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the assumed Bluegreen Options and underlying the assumed Bluegreen restricted stock awards, and BFC will use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as any such assumed Bluegreen Options or restricted stock awards remain outstanding under the applicable Bluegreen Option Plan assumed by BFC.

3.5 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and unless otherwise provided by applicable Law, each share of Bluegreen Common Stock which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is owned by a shareholder who, pursuant to Sections 13.01-13.31 of the MBCA, duly and validly exercises and perfects his, her or its appraisal rights with respect to his, her or its shares of Bluegreen Common Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive, or be exchangeable for, the Merger Consideration, but, instead, the holder thereof, with respect to such Dissenting Shares, shall be entitled to payment in cash from the Surviving Company of the appraised value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.01-13.31 of the MBCA. If any such holder

shall have failed to duly and validly exercise or perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights, each share of Bluegreen Common Stock of such holder as to which appraisal rights were not duly and validly exercised or perfected, or were effectively withdrawn or lost, shall not be deemed a Dissenting Share and shall automatically be converted into and shall thereafter be exchangeable only for the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement.

concerning, or provide any non-public information to any Person in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal or under circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) agree to, approve, recommend or otherwise endorse or support any Acquisition Proposal. As used herein, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any proposal relating to a possible (1) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries, or BFC or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (2) sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise (whether in one or more transactions), of all or substantially all of the assets of Bluegreen and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or BFC and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as the case may be, (3) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other similar type of transaction involving Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries, or BFC or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (4) tender offer or exchange offer for ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen Common Stock or BFC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (in the aggregate), as the case may be, or other transaction with Bluegreen or BFC in which any Person or group shall acquire or have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen Common Stock or BFC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (in the aggregate), as the case may be, or (5) transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby (or any modification thereof or proposal relating thereto) or any transaction involving the Bluegreen Communities business unit. Each of Bluegreen and BFC will, and will direct all its directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other representatives, agents and Affiliates to, immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(a) above, if a Person or group other than BFC or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and other than Bluegreen or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand (any such Person or group, a “Third Party”), after the date of this Agreement submits to Bluegreen or its Board of Directors, or the Special Committee, or BFC or its Board of Directors, as the case may be, not resulting from a breach of Section 7.3(a) above, an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal, and Bluegreen’s Special Committee or Board of Directors or BFC’s Board of Directors, as the case may be, reasonably determines in good faith, (i) after consultation with their financial, legal and other advisors that such Acquisition Proposal will result in, or upon further discussion with or due diligence by such Third Party could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in, a Superior Proposal and (ii) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the action set forth in (A) and (B) below may be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then, in such case Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, may (A) furnish information about its business to the Third Party under protection of an appropriate confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all non-public written or oral information furnished to such Third Party, provided that Bluegreen contemporaneously furnishes to BFC or BFC contemporaneously furnishes to Bluegreen, as the case may be, all such non-public information furnished to the Third Party and (B) negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations with such Third Party with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. In the event that, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen or BFC receives a Superior Proposal not in violation of Section 7.3(a) and Bluegreen’s Special Committee or Board of Directors or BFC’s Board of Directors, as the case may be, determines, in good faith and after consultation with its legal, financial and other advisors, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with fiduciary duties owed by directors under applicable Law, then Bluegreen’s Special Committee or Board of Directors or BFC’s Board of Directors, as the case may be, may: (x) withhold, withdraw, modify or change its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger and/or (y) approve or recommend to the applicable company’s shareholders the Superior Proposal, provided, in each case, the party taking such action provides the other party with at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice stating that it intends to take such actions and setting forth the information specified in Section 7.3(c) with respect to any Superior Proposal which it intends to accept or recommend.

terms which Bluegreen’s Special Committee or Board of Directors or BFC’s Board of Directors, as the case may be, determines, after consultation with their legal, financial and other advisors, are more favorable to Bluegreen’s shareholders or BFC (or its shareholders), as the case may be, from a financial point of view than the Merger or other revised proposal submitted by BFC or Bluegreen, as the case may be, prior to such determination, taking into account the ability of the Third Party to consummate the Superior Proposal on substantially the terms proposed. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Bluegreen or BFC from taking, and disclosing to its shareholders, a position required by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A of the SEC.

(c) Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, will notify the other party immediately, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, if (i) an Acquisition Proposal is made or is modified in any material respect (including, without limitation, any written material provided by the offeror, the principal terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or modification thereto and the identity of the offeror), in which case Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, will provide a copy of the Acquisition Proposal concurrently with such notice or (ii) Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, furnishes non-public information to, or enters into discussions or negotiations with respect to an Acquisition Proposal with, any Third Party.

(d) In addition to the obligations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.3, Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable, will advise the other party orally and in writing of any request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms and conditions of such request or inquiry, and keep the other party informed in all material respects of the status of any such request or inquiry. Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, shall also provide the other party with prior telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of any meeting of its Board of Directors (or any committee thereof, including, in the case of Bluegreen, the Special Committee) at which its Board of Directors or any such committee is expected or could reasonably be expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal, together with a copy of the documentation relating to such Acquisition Proposal to the extent such documentation is then available (and otherwise provide such documentation as soon as available).

Except as provided in Section 7.3(b) with respect to the right of Bluegreen’s Special Committee or Board of Directors to withhold, withdraw, modify or change its recommendation to Bluegreen’s shareholders, Bluegreen shall use its reasonable efforts in good faith to secure the vote of its shareholders required under the MBCA and include in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus the recommendation of its Board of Directors in favor of the Merger.

(b) BFC shall call the BFC Meeting to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus nor the Registration Statement nor any amendment or supplement thereto shall be filed or mailed without the consent of both BFC and Bluegreen, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Each of Bluegreen and BFC represent, warrant and covenant to the other that the information pertaining to such party required by the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall not, at each time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, at the time the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to Bluegreen’s and BFC’s shareholders or at the time of the Bluegreen Meeting or the BFC Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that no representation is or shall be made by Bluegreen or BFC, as the case may be, with respect to the accuracy of statements made in the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus based on information derived from or supplied by the other party. If before the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is discovered by Bluegreen, or any event or circumstance relating to BFC or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is discovered by BFC, and such information should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Bluegreen shall promptly inform BFC and shall provide to BFC, or BFC shall promptly inform Bluegreen and prepare, appropriate amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 7.5(b) as to the accuracy of such information shall apply to all such amended or supplemented information.

7.6 Employee Benefit Plans.

7.7 Indemnification.

(a) After the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of Bluegreen (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of BFC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Bluegreen if such Claim pertains to any matter or fact arising, existing or occurring before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger) regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, at or after the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), to the same extent provided for under the MBCA in effect as of the date hereof and under the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as

in effect on the date hereof. The Surviving Company shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the same extent provided for under the MBCA in effect on the date hereof and under the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable Law or the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.7(a), upon learning of any Claim, shall immediately notify BFC (but the failure to so notify BFC shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7.7(a) except to the extent such failure prejudices BFC) and shall deliver to BFC any undertaking required by applicable Law. The Surviving Company shall ensure, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, that all limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof, or allowed under applicable Law as in effect on the date hereof with respect to Indemnified Liabilities, shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ and in-house counsel liability insurance maintained by Bluegreen (provided that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amount containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous, or in lieu thereof obtain single limit tail coverage providing at least the same coverage and amount containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous for such period (which shall be purchased by Bluegreen immediately prior to Closing upon the request of BFC)) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred before the Effective Time.

(c) The obligations of the Surviving Company provided under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 7.7 are intended to be enforceable against the Surviving Company directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of the Surviving Company.
