WHEREAS, the Club Trustee is a limited purpose entity which, on
behalf of Beneficiaries of the Club, holds title to the Timeshare Properties
related to the Club Loans.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the
Notes by the holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the
benefit of the Noteholders, as follows:
GRANTING CLAUSE
To secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes
in accordance with their terms, the payment of all of the sums payable under
this Indenture and the performance of the covenants contained in this Indenture,
the Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in
1
and to the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and any and all
benefits accruing to the Issuer from, (i) the Initial Timeshare Loans specified
on Schedule I hereto, (ii) any Subsequent Timeshare Loans, (iii) any Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loans, (iv) the Receivables in respect of each Timeshare
Loan due on and after the related Cut-Off Date, (v) the related Timeshare Loan
Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare
Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program
Governing Documents), (vi) all Related Security in respect of each Timeshare
Loan, (vii) all rights and remedies under the Transfer Agreements, the Purchase

Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, (viii) all
amounts in or to be deposited to the Lockbox Account, the Collection Account,

cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances,
chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation
awards, rights to payment of any and every kind, and other forms of obligations
and receivables which at any time constitute all or part or are included in the
proceeds of any of the foregoing) (collectively, the "TRUST ESTATE").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Estate shall not include (i) any
Timeshare Loan released from the lien of this Indenture in accordance with the
terms hereof and any Related Security, Timeshare Loan Documents, income or
proceeds related to such released Timeshare Loan, (ii) any amount distributed
pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 6.6 hereof or (iii) any Misdirected Deposits.
Such Grant is made in trust to secure (i) the payment of all amounts
due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, equally and ratably except as
otherwise may be provided in this Indenture, without prejudice, priority, or
distinction between any Note of the same Class and any other Note of the same
Class by reason of differences in time of issuance or otherwise, and (ii) the
payment of all other sums payable under the Notes and this Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Xxxxx, accepts the trusts
hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the
duties herein required to the best of its ability and to the end that the
interests of the Noteholders may be adequately and effectively protected as
hereinafter provided.
The Custodian shall hold the Timeshare Loan Documents in trust, for
the use and benefit of the Issuer and all present and future Noteholders, and
shall retain possession thereof. The Custodian further agrees and acknowledges
that each other item making up the Trust Estate that is physically delivered to
the Custodian will be held by the Custodian in the State of Minnesota or in any
other location acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer.
The Indenture Trustee further acknowledges that in the event the
conveyance of the Timeshare Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the
Sale Agreement is determined to constitute a loan and not a sale as it is
intended by all the parties hereto, the Custodian will be holding each of the
Timeshare Loans as bailee of the Issuer; provided, however, that with respect
2
to the Timeshare Loans, the Custodian should not act at the direction of the
Issuer without the written consent of the Indenture Trustee.
ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
OF GENERAL APPLICATION
SECTION 1.1. General Definitions.
In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Indenture,
capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the "Standard
Definitions" attached hereto as Annex A.
SECTION 1.2. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any written application or request (or oral application with
prompt written or telecopied confirmation) by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, other than any
request that (a) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such
request, (b) the Indenture Trustee invest moneys in any of the Trust Accounts
pursuant to the written directions specified in such request or (c) the
Indenture Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the
Issuer's assignee specified in such request, the Indenture Trustee shall require
the Issuer to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating
that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating
to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request otherwise is
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if
any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such requested
action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions precedent
thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no
additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
SECTION 1.3. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by,
or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to
the Indenture Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon
an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows that the opinion with respect
to the matters upon which his/her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.
Any such officer's certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer as to such
factual matters unless such
3
officer or counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to such matters is erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the
written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall
be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include a
statement to the effect that such other counsel believes that such counsel and
the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other
counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth
and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the
effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts
and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent
to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Section 7.1(b) hereof.
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the
occurrence and continuation of a Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of
Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture
Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that
the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's
right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be
protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not
have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such event. For all
purposes of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default nor
shall the Indenture Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine
whether a default has occurred (other than an Event of Default of the kind
described in Section 6.1(a) hereof) or Servicer Event of Default has occurred
unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual
knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer,
the Servicer or any secured party.
SECTION 1.4. Acts of Noteholders, etc.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such
4
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "ACT" of the Noteholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in
this Section 1.4.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future
holder of the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Note.
(d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each
Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special
attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such
Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder for the benefit
of such Noteholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 1.4(d) shall
be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on
behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which the Noteholders
have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 1.5. Notice to Noteholders; Waiver.
(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any
event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall
be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, via first class mail, or sent by private courier or confirmed
telecopy to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is
required to be mailed, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not
later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed
for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a
notice or report to Noteholders is mailed, neither the failure to mail such
notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any
particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with
respect to other Noteholders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive
such notice, either before or after the event,
5
and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not
be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.
(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or
by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to
Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.5(a) hereof, of any event or any
report to Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery
as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a
sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
SECTION 1.6. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 1.7. Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by each of the
parties hereto shall bind its respective successors and permitted assigns,
whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 1.8. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UNLESS MADE
APPLICABLE IN A SUPPLEMENT HERETO, THIS INDENTURE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TRUST
INDENTURE ACT OF 1939 AND SHALL NOT BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.
SECTION 1.9. Legal Holidays.
In any case where any Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or any
other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid
shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture or of the Notes) such payment need not be made on such date, but may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on such Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other date on which principal of
or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid; provided that, no penalty
interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Payment Date, Stated
Maturity, or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is
proposed to be paid, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business
Day.
6
SECTION 1.10. Execution in Counterparts.
This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 1.11. Inspection.
The Issuer agrees that, on ten Business Days' prior notice (or, one
Business Day's prior notice after the occurrence and during the occurrence of an
Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default), it will permit the
representatives of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder, during the Issuer's
normal business hours, to examine all of the books of account, records, reports
and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom,
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its designated officers,
employees and independent accountants in the presence of such designated
officers and employees (and by this provision the Issuer hereby authorizes its
independent accountants to discuss with such representatives such affairs,
finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested for the purpose of reviewing or evaluating the financial
condition or affairs of the Issuer or the performance of and compliance with the
covenants and undertakings of the Issuer and the Servicer in this Indenture or
any of the other documents referred to herein or therein. Any reasonable expense
incident to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee at any time or any Noteholder
during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, of any right under
this Section 1.11 shall be borne by the Issuer. Nothing contained herein shall
be construed as a duty of the Indenture Trustee to perform such inspection.
SECTION 1.12. Survival of Representations and Warranties.
The representations, warranties and certifications of the Issuer
made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the
Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of the
Notes hereunder.
ARTICLE II.
THE NOTES
SECTION 2.1. General Provisions.

Receivables Note Trust 2004-B, Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2004-B". The
Notes, together with their certificates of authentication, shall be in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are

delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the
Indenture Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer Order to the

Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by or on behalf of the Issuer.
All Global Notes shall be initially registered on the Note Register in the name
of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC and no Note Owner will receive a definitive
note (a "DEFINITIVE NOTE") representing such Note Owner's interest in the
related Class of Notes, except as provided in Section 2.3 hereof. Unless and
until Definitive Notes have been issued in respect of a Class of Notes pursuant
to Section 2.3:
(a) the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in full force and
effect with respect to such Class of Notes;
(b) the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee may deal
with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes with
respect to such Notes (including the making of distributions on such Notes) as
the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners;
8
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.2 conflict
with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.2
shall control; and
(d) the rights of the respective Note Owners of a Class of Notes
shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the
respective Note Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants.
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are
issued in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, the Depository
will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
transmit distributions of principal of, and interest on, the Notes to the
Depository Participants.
SECTION 2.3. Definitive Notes.
If (a) the Depository advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository with respect to the Global Notes and the Issuer
is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (b) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Note Owners evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Adjusted
Note Balance of such Class of Notes, advise the Indenture Trustee and the
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation
of a book-entry system with respect to such Class of Notes, respectively,
through the Depository is no longer in the best interest of such Note Owners,
the Indenture Trustee shall use its best efforts to notify all affected Note
Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners. None of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Servicer shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Servicer shall
recognize holders of Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon
or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to
such Definitive Notes.
SECTION 2.4. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office a register (the "NOTE REGISTER") for the registration, transfer and
exchange of Notes. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed "Note Registrar"
for purposes of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The
names and addresses of all Noteholders and the names and addresses of the
transferees of any Notes shall be registered in the Note Register; provided,
however, in no event shall the Note Registrar be required to maintain in the
Note Register the names of the individual participants holding Notes through the
Depository. The Person in whose name any Note is so registered shall be deemed
and treated as the sole owner and Noteholder thereof for all purposes of this
Indenture and the Note Registrar, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Servicer and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary. A Definitive Note is transferable or exchangeable
only upon the
9
surrender of such Note to the Note Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office

authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements of this Section
2.4. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar shall provide the
Indenture Trustee with the names and addresses Noteholders.

the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in denominations
of a like aggregate denomination as the Definitive Note being surrendered. Each
Note surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently
destroyed by the Note Registrar. Each new Note issued pursuant to this Section
2.4 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may
request, subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 2.4. All Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.
(c) The issuance of the Notes will not be registered or qualified
under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. No resale or
transfer of any Note may be made unless such resale or transfer is made in
accordance with this Indenture and only if (i) in the United States to a person
whom the transferor reasonably believes is a "qualified institutional buyer" (as
defined in Rule 144A) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account
of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of
Rule 144A as certified by the transferee (other than the Initial Purchaser and
their respective initial transferees) in a letter in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (iii) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through
(iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the
United States. Each transferee and each subsequent transferee will be required
to notify any subsequent purchaser of such Notes from it of the resale
restrictions described herein. None of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the Securities Act
or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under
this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note without registration.
(d) No resale or other transfer of any Note may be made to any
transferee unless (i) such transferee is not, and will not acquire such Note on
behalf or with the assets of, any Benefit Plan or (ii) no "prohibited
transaction" under ERISA or section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law that is not
subject to a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption will occur in
connection with purchaser's or such transferee's acquisition or holding of such
Note. In addition, the Notes may not be purchased by or transferred to any
Benefit Plan or person acting on behalf of or with assets of any Benefit Plan,
unless it represents that it is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section
3(16)(B) of ERISA) by the Issuer, the Depositor, the Originators, the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Paying Agent,
the Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Lockbox Bank or the Initial Purchaser,
or by any affiliate of any such person. In addition to the applicable provisions
of this Section 2.4 and the rules of the
10
Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Global Notes
shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.4(c) and this Section 2.4(d).
(e) No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Note
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in this Section 2.4. The Note Registrar may require payment
by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other
governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.
(f) None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the
Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of such Notes without
registration or qualification. Any such Noteholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any loss, liability or
expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
(g) The Servicer agrees to cause the Issuer, and the Issuer agrees
to provide, such information as required under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act so as to allow resales of Notes to "qualified institutional buyers" (as
defined therein) in accordance herewith.
(h) The Notes represent the sole obligation of the Issuer payable
from the Trust Estate and do not represent the obligations of the Originators,
the Servicer, the Depositor, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, Administrator or the Custodian.
SECTION 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
(a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee,
the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefore a replacement Note of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(b) If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them and any agent of either of them harmless then, in the absence of
actual notice to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(c) In case the final installment of principal on any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or will at the next Payment
Date become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may, instead of
issuing a replacement Note, pay such Note.
11
(d) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section
2.5, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the
Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed as a result of the issuance of such replacement Note.
(e) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
(f) The provisions of this Section 2.5 are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
SECTION 2.6. Payment of Interest and Principal; Rights Preserved.
(a) Any installment of interest or principal, payable on any Note
that is punctually paid or duly provided for by or on behalf of the Issuer on
the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note
was registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date
by check mailed to the address specified in the Note Register, or if a Holder
has provided wire transfer instructions to the Indenture Trustee at least 5
Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date, upon the request of a
Holder, by wire transfer of federal funds to the account and number specified in
the Note Register, in each case on such Record Date for such Person (which shall
be, as to each original purchaser of the Notes, the account and number specified
by such purchaser to the Indenture Trustee in writing, or, if no such account or
number is so specified, then by check mailed to such Person's address as it
appears in the Note Register on such Record Date).
(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by
payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders
of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted
on such Note. All payments on the Notes shall be paid without any requirement of
presentment, but each Holder of any Note shall be deemed to agree, by its
acceptance of the same, to surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the final principal payment of such
Note.
SECTION 2.7. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the registered Noteholder as the owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture

form and as of such date as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of the Noteholders.
SECTION 2.10. Treasury Notes.

Note Balance of the Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Notes held or redeemed by the Issuer or any other obligor in respect of the
Notes or held by an Affiliate of the Issuer or such other obligor shall be

disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the dissemination of
information in accordance with this Agreement.

Adjusted Note Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and fifth, and fourth, to the
Class A Notes until the Adjusted Note Balance thereof is reduced to zero. The
application of the Note Balance Write-Down Amount to a Class of Notes shall not
reduce such Class' entitlement to unpaid Principal Distribution Amounts.

The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall comply with
all requirements of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations and applicable
state and local law with respect to the withholding from any distributions made

UCC-1 or continuation statement previously filed pursuant to this Indenture
seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable

party discovering such defect, omission, or circumstance shall promptly notify
the other parties to this Indenture, the Rating Agencies, the Depositor and the
Club Originator. In the event any such representation or warranty of the

Timeshare Loan to be, in the following order of priority, (i) the Upgrade Club
Loan related to such Original Club Loan and (ii) an Upgrade Club Loan unrelated
to such Original Club Loan.
(c) Optional Purchase or Substitution of Defaulted Timeshare
Loans. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, with
respect to any Defaulted Timeshare Loans, on any date, the Club Originator, as
designee of the Depositor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to
either (i) purchase the Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price for
such Defaulted Timeshare Loan or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan and pay the related
Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any; provided, however, that the option to
repurchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan or to substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date
to the Optional Purchase Limit and the Optional Substitution Limit,
respectively. The Club Originator, as designee of the Depositor, shall purchase

the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof (unless
otherwise expressly provided herein).
SECTION 5.3. Duties and Responsibilities of the Servicer.

(viii) use reasonable best efforts to enforce the purchase and
substitution obligations of the Club Originator under the Transfer
Agreements or the Purchase Agreement;
(ix) refrain from modifying, waiving or amending the terms of any
Timeshare Loan; provided, however, the Servicer may modify, waive or amend
a Timeshare Loan for which a default on such Timeshare Loan has occurred
or is imminent or and such modification, amendment or waiver will not (i)
materially alter the interest rate on or the principal balance of such
Timeshare Loan, (ii) shorten the final maturity of, lengthen the timing of
payments of either principal or interest, or any other terms of, such
Timeshare Loan in any manner which would have a material adverse affect on
the Noteholders, (iii) adversely affect the Timeshare Property underlying
such Timeshare Loan or (iv) reduce materially the likelihood that payments
of interest and principal on such Timeshare Loan shall be made when due;
provided, further, the Servicer may grant a single extension of the final
maturity of a Timeshare Loan if the Servicer, in its reasonable
discretion, determines that (A) such Timeshare Loan is in default or a
default on such Timeshare Loan is likely to occur in the foreseeable
future and (B) the value of such Timeshare Loan will be enhanced by such
extension; provided, further, the Servicer shall not be permitted to
modify, waive or amend the terms of any Timeshare Loan if the sum of the
Cut-Off Date Loan Balance of such Timeshare Loan and the Cut-Off Date Loan
Balances of all other Timeshare Loans for which the Servicer has modified,
waived or amended the terms thereof exceeds 1% of the Aggregate Closing
Date Collateral Balance.
(x) work with Obligors in connection with any transfer of
ownership of a Timeshare Property by an Obligor to another Person (to the
extent permitted), whereby the Servicer may consent to the assumption by
such Person of the Timeshare Loan related to such Timeshare Property (to
the extent permitted); provided, however, in connection with any such
assumption, the rate of interest borne by, the maturity date of, the
principal amount of, the timing of payments of principal and interest in
respect of, and all other material terms of, the related Timeshare Loan
shall not be changed other than as permitted in (ix) above; and
(xi) to the extent that the Custodian Fees or the Lockbox Fees are,
in the Servicer's reasonable business judgment, no longer commercially
reasonable, use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise its rights
under the Custodial Agreement or
31
the Lockbox Agreement to replace the Custodian or Lockbox Bank, as
applicable. Any such successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Indenture Trustee
(xii) delivery of such information and data to the Backup Servicer
as is required under the Backup Servicing Agreement
(xiii) delivery of any new or amended ACH Forms executed by an
Obligor to the Custodian to be held as part of the related Timeshare Loan
File.
(b) In the event that a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is not or cannot
be released from the Lien of the Indenture pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof, the
Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, promptly institute
collection procedures, which may include, but is not limited to, cancellation,
forfeiture, termination or foreclosure proceedings or obtaining a deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure (each, a "FORECLOSURE PROPERTY"). Upon the Timeshare Property
becoming a Foreclosure Property, the Servicer shall promptly attempt to remarket
such Foreclosure Property. The Issuer acknowledges that the Club Originator or
the Aruba Originator may be in the best position to remarket the Foreclosure
Property in connection with such Originator's overall marketing program for the
applicable Timeshare Project. The Servicer shall select the remarketing option
reasonably anticipated to produce the highest Net Liquidation Proceeds, giving
effect to the gross price obtainable, broker's commissions, foreclosure costs,
sales and marketing expenses and other factors. The Servicer shall be entitled
to reimbursement of Liquidation Expenses out of Liquidation Proceeds. Any
Liquidation Expenses later recovered by the Servicer shall be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.2(c) and (d)
hereof.
(i) To the extent that one of the Originators or an Affiliate
thereof is selected to remarket a Foreclosure Property, the Servicer shall
cause such Originator or Affiliate thereof to agree that it will remarket
such Foreclosure Property in the ordinary course in a manner similar and
consistent with (or better than) the manner in which it remarkets or sells
other timeshare properties it or its Affiliates owns.
(ii) The Servicer (if Bluegreen Corporation or its Affiliate is
acting as Servicer) on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
shall take all necessary steps to have the record title of the applicable
Timeshare Properties subject to such Defaulted Timeshare Loans continue to
be held by the Club Trustee. In such event, the Servicer shall direct the
Club Trustee, directly or through its agents to exercise the remedies
provided for in the Club Trust Agreement, in the Mortgage Note themselves
or in the other Club documents with respect to such Defaulted Timeshare
Loans and the Obligors thereunder, and the Owner Beneficiary Rights will
be remarketed with the purpose of obtaining the maximum Net Liquidation
Proceeds in respect of such Defaulted Timeshare Loans.
(iii) The Servicer shall reserve its rights under the Club Trust
Agreement and/or the applicable Mortgages to obtain, at any time, record
title and all beneficial interests in respect of the Timeshare Properties
related to Defaulted Timeshare Loans.
32
All actions taken by the Servicer in respect of any Defaulted Timeshare
Loans shall, at all times, be carried out in a manner such that none of
the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders
shall, under applicable law, be deemed to be the developer or declarant of
any Resort or the Club.
(iv) The Servicer agrees that it shall require that any Liquidation
Proceeds be in the form of cash only.
(c) In connection with the Servicer's performance of its duties
under Section 5.3(b), (i) the Servicer will undertake such duties in the
ordinary course in a manner similar and consistent with (or better than) the
manner in which the Servicer sells or markets other timeshare properties it or
its Affiliates owns and (ii) the Servicer may not sell any of the Defaulted
Timeshare Loans that are an asset of the Trust Estate except for or as
specifically permitted by this Indenture.
(d) For so long as Bluegreen or any of its Affiliates controls the
Resorts, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain
or cause to maintain the Resorts in good repair, working order and condition
(ordinary wear and tear excepted).
(e) For so long as Bluegreen or any of its Affiliates controls the
Resorts, the manager, related management contract and master marketing and sale
contract (if applicable) for each Resort at all times shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note
Balance of each Class of Notes. For so long as Bluegreen or any of its
Affiliates controls the Timeshare Association for a Resort, and Bluegreen or an
Affiliate thereof is the manager, the related management contract and master
marketing and sale contract may be amended or modified only with the prior
written consent of the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted
Note Balance of each Class of Notes, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(f) In the event any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) attaches
to any Timeshare Loan or related collateral from any Person claiming from and
through Bluegreen or one of its Affiliates which materially adversely affects
the Issuer's interest in such Timeshare Loan, Bluegreen shall, within the
earlier to occur of ten (10) Business Days after such attachment or the
respective lienholders' action to foreclose on such lien, either (a) cause such
Lien to be released of record, (b) provide the Indenture Trustee with a bond in
accordance with the applicable laws of the state in which the Timeshare Property
is located, issued by a corporate surety acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, in
an amount and in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or (c)
provide the Indenture Trustee with such other security as the Indenture Trustee
may reasonably require.
(g) The Servicer shall: (a) promptly notify the Indenture Trustee
of (i) any claim, action or proceeding which may be reasonably expected to have
a material adverse effect on the Trust Estate, or any material part thereof, and
(ii) any action, suit, proceeding, order or injunction of which Servicer becomes
aware after the date hereof pending or threatened against or affecting Servicer
or any Affiliate which may be reasonably expected to have a material
33
adverse effect on the Trust Estate or the Servicer's ability to service the
same; (b) at the request of Indenture Trustee with respect to a claim or action
or proceeding which arises from or through the Servicer or one of its
Affiliates, appear in and defend, at Servicer's expense, any such claim, action
or proceeding which would have a material adverse effect on the Timeshare Loans
or the Servicer's ability to service the same; and (c) comply in all respects,
and shall cause all Affiliates to comply in all respects, with the terms of any
orders imposed on such Person by any governmental authority the failure to
comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Timeshare Loans or
the Servicer's ability to service the same.
(h) Except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the
Servicer shall not, and shall not permit the Club Managing Entity to, encumber,
pledge or otherwise xxxxx x Xxxx or security interest in and to the Reservation
System (including, without limitation, all hardware, software and data in
respect thereof) and furthermore agrees, and shall cause the Club Managing
Entity, to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Reservation System
operational, not to dispose of the same and to allow the Club the use of, and
access to, the Reservation System in accordance with the terms of the Club
Management Agreement.
(i) The Servicer shall comply in all material respects with the
Collection Policy in effect on the Closing Date (or, as amended from time to
time with the consent of the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the
Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes) and with the terms of the
Timeshare Loans.

period and that it is diligently pursuing a cure, 60 days), after the
earlier of (x) the Servicer first acquiring Knowledge thereof and (y) the
Indenture Trustee's giving written notice thereof to the Servicer;
(iv) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this
Indenture shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the
time when the same shall have been made, and such breach is not remedied
within 30 days (or, if the Servicer shall have
34
provided evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such breach
cannot be cured in the 30-day period and that it is diligently pursuing a
cure, 60 days) after the earlier of (x) the Servicer first acquiring
Knowledge thereof and (y) the Indenture Trustee's giving written notice
thereof to the Servicer;
(v) the entry by a court having competent jurisdiction in respect
of the Servicer of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the
Servicer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or
(ii) a decree or order adjudging the Servicer a bankrupt or insolvent, or
approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, or composition of or in respect of the Servicer
under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar
official of the Servicer, or of any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance
of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;
(vi) the commencement by the Servicer of a voluntary case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to
be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by either to the
entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Servicer in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state

reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the
consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or
taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator, or similar official of the Servicer or of any substantial
part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or the Servicer's failure to pay its debts generally as they

If any Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and not been
waived hereunder or there shall have been a material default by the Servicer of
a material obligation of the Servicer for which (i) the Servicer has received
written notice of such default, (ii) such default has not been cured by the
Servicer or waived in writing and the period for cure has expired and (iii) such
default would result in a liability to the Servicer in excess of 5% of the
Servicer's Equity at such time, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon notice from
Holders
35
representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of
Notes shall, terminate, on behalf of the Noteholders, by notice in writing to
the Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, as Servicer
under this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall immediately give written
notice of such termination to the Backup Servicer.
Unless consented to by the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of
the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes, the Issuer may not waive any
Servicer Event of Default.
(b) Replacement of Servicer. From and after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written termination notice or the resignation of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Indenture, whether with respect to the Timeshare Loans or otherwise, shall,
pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall
be the successor Servicer hereunder and the duties and obligations of the
Servicer shall terminate. The Servicer shall perform such actions as are
reasonably necessary to assist the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer in
such transfer. If the Servicer fails to undertake such action as is reasonably
necessary to effectuate such a transfer, the Indenture Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense
of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably
necessary to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer
agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.4, it shall promptly
(and, in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to its
receipt of the notice of termination from the Indenture Trustee) provide the
Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer or their respective designees (with
reasonable costs being borne by the Servicer) with all documents and records
(including, without limitation, those in electronic form) reasonably requested
by it to enable the Indenture Trustee to assume the Servicer's functions
hereunder and for the Backup Servicer to assume the functions required by the
Backup Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Servicer's obligations
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business
Day to the Indenture Trustee or its designee for administration by it of all
cash amounts which shall at the time or thereafter received by it with respect
to the Timeshare Loans (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to
be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Indenture
on or prior to the date of such termination). The Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to renegotiate the Servicing Fee; provided, however, no change to the
Servicing Fee may be made unless the Indenture Trustee shall have (i) submitted
a servicing fee proposal (a "NEW SERVICING FEE PROPOSAL") to S&P seeking written
confirmation as to whether or not the New Servicing Fee Proposal would result in
a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating assigned to a Class of
Notes, (ii) notified the Noteholders of S&P's response, and (iii) received the
written consent of Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note
Balance of each Class of Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or Bluegreen be liable for any Servicing
Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder
and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to assume the
obligations of Servicer under this Indenture.
36
The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the
Servicer, (or by the Trust Estate to the extent set forth in Section 3.4(a)(i)
or Section 6.6(a)(i) hereof) if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder for all Servicer Termination Costs.
The successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to
any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer
prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim
of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated
Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase obligations, if any, of
the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the
Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other
party involved in this transaction that were incurred by the prior Servicer and
(v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification
obligations of any prior Servicer including the original Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Indenture to the contrary,
any successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the
accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer
relating to the Timeshare Loans (collectively, the "PREDECESSOR SERVICER WORK
PRODUCT"), without any audit or other examination thereof, and such successor
Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the
acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or
incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, "ERRORS") exist
in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more
difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the successor
Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "CONTINUED ERRORS"), the
successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability
for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that each successor Servicer shall
agree to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event
that the successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the
successor Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Indenture Trustee, use
its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially
reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future
Continued Errors and to recover its costs thereby.
The Indenture Trustee may appoint an Affiliate as the successor
Servicer and the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) related to the Indenture
Trustee shall apply to such Affiliate.
(c) Any successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee, shall
not be deemed to be in default or to have breached its duties as successor
Servicer hereunder if the predecessor Servicer shall fail to deliver any
required deposit to the Collection Account or otherwise fail to cooperate with,
or take any actions required by such successor Servicer related to the transfer
of servicing hereunder.
SECTION 5.5. Accountings; Statements and Reports.
(a) Monthly Servicer Report. Not later than two (2) Business Days
prior to the Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Initial Purchaser, a report (the
"MONTHLY SERVICER REPORT") substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto,
detailing certain activity relating to the Timeshare Loans. The
37
Monthly Servicer Report shall be completed with the information specified
therein for the related Due Period and shall contain such other information as
may be reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Initial
Purchaser in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Determination
Date. Each such Monthly Servicer Report shall be accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate of the Servicer in the form of Exhibit E hereto, certifying the
accuracy of the computations reflected in such Monthly Servicer Report.
(b) Certification as to Compliance. The Servicer shall deliver to
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Initial
Purchaser, an Officer's Certificate on or before April 30 of each year
commencing in 2005: (x) to the effect that a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year, and of its performance under this
Indenture during such period has been made under the supervision of the officers
executing such Officer's Certificate with a view to determining whether during
such period, to the best of such officer's knowledge, the Servicer had performed
and observed all of its obligations under this Indenture, and either (A) stating
that based on such review, no Servicer Event of Default is known to have
occurred and is continuing, or (B) if such a Servicer Event of Default is known
to have occurred and is continuing, specifying such Servicer Event of Default
and the nature and status thereof.
(c) Annual Accountants' Reports. On or before each April 30 of
each year commencing in 2005, the Servicer shall (i) cause a firm of independent
public accountants to furnish a certificate or statement (and the Servicer shall
provide a copy of such certificate or statement to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Initial Purchaser), to the effect that (1)
such firm has examined and audited the Servicer's servicing controls and
procedures for the previous calendar year and that such independent public
accountants have examined certain documents and records (including computer
records) and servicing procedures of the Servicer relating to the Timeshare
Loans, (2) they have examined the most recent Monthly Servicer Report prepared
by the Servicer and three other Monthly Servicer Reports chosen at random by
such firm and compared such Monthly Servicer Reports with the information
contained in such documents and records, (3) their examination included such
tests and procedures as they considered necessary in the circumstances, (4)
their examinations and comparisons described under clauses (1) and (2) above
disclosed no exceptions which, in their opinion, were material, relating to such
Timeshare Loans or such Monthly Servicer Reports, or, if any such exceptions
were disclosed thereby, setting forth such exceptions which, in their opinion,
were material, (5) on the basis of such examinations and comparison, such firm
is of the opinion that the Servicer has, during the relevant period, serviced
the Timeshare Loans in compliance with this Indenture and the other Transaction
Documents in all material respects and that such documents and records have been
maintained in accordance with this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents
in all material respects, except in each case for (A) such exceptions as such
firm shall believe to be immaterial and (B) such other exceptions as shall be
set forth in such written report. The report will also indicate that such firm
is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional
Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In the event
such independent public accountants require the Indenture Trustee to agree to
the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be
prepared pursuant to this Section 5.5(c), the Servicer shall direct the
Indenture Trustee in
38
writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee
will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction
of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee has not made any independent inquiry
or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of,
the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.
(d) Report on Proceedings and Servicer Event of Default. (i)
Promptly upon a Responsible Officer of the Servicer's obtaining Knowledge of any
proposed or pending investigation of it by any Governmental Authority or any
court or administrative proceeding which involves or is reasonably likely to
involve the possibility of materially and adversely affecting the properties,
business, prospects, profits or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the
Servicer and its subsidiaries, as a whole, the Servicer shall send written
notice specifying the nature of such investigation or proceeding and what action
the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and evaluating
its merits, or (ii) immediately upon obtaining Knowledge of the existence of any
condition or event which constitutes a Servicer Event of Default, the Servicer
shall send written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Initial
Purchaser describing its nature and period of existence and what action the
Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.6. Records.
The Servicer shall maintain all data for which it is responsible
(including, without limitation, computerized tapes or disks) relating directly
to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Timeshare Loans (which
data and records shall be clearly marked to reflect that the Timeshare Loans
have been Granted to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and
constitute property of the Trust Estate) at the address specified in Section
13.3 hereof or, upon fifteen (15) days' notice to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, at such other place where any Servicing Officer of the Servicer is
located (or upon 24 hours' written notice if an Event of Default or Servicer
Event of Default shall have occurred).
SECTION 5.7. Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained fidelity bond
and errors and omissions insurance with respect to the Servicer in such form and
in amounts as is customary for institutions acting as custodian of funds in
respect of timeshare loans or receivables on behalf of institutional investors;
provided that such insurance shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 per
policy and shall name the Indenture Trustee as an additional insured. No
provision of this Section 5.7 requiring such fidelity bond or errors and
omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and
obligations as set forth in this Indenture. The Servicer shall be deemed to have
complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such
fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance coverage and, by the terms of
such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy, the coverage
afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Upon a request of the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, a certification
evidencing coverage under such fidelity bond and the errors and omissions
insurance. Any such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy shall
not
39
be canceled or modified in a materially adverse manner without ten (10) Business
Days' prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 5.8. Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies of any merger or consolidation of the
Servicer. The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchise as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation
except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to
do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture or any of the Timeshare Loans and to perform
its duties under this Indenture.
(b) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person (i)
is a company whose business includes the servicing of assets similar to the
Timeshare Loans and shall be authorized to lawfully transact business in the
state or states in which the related Timeshare Properties it is to service are
situated; (ii) is a U.S. Person, and (iii) delivers to the Indenture Trustee (1)
an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, which contains an assumption by such successor entity of the due and
punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by the Servicer under this Indenture and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party and (2) an opinion of
counsel as to the enforceability of such agreement; provided, further, that the
Rating Agencies shall have confirmed that such action will not result in a
downgrade or withdrawal of any rating assigned to a Class of Notes.
SECTION 5.9. Sub-Servicing.
(a) The Servicer may enter into one or more sub-servicing
agreements with a sub-servicer upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a
written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the execution of such
sub-servicing agreement and the retention of such sub-servicer would not result
in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating assigned to a Class
of Notes. References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in
servicing the Timeshare Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a
sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Any sub-servicing agreement will be upon
such terms and conditions as the Servicer may reasonably agree and as are not

(c) the Indenture Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and
(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Indenture Trustee during such 30-day period by the Holders
representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of
Notes Outstanding;
52
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall
have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the ratable benefit of all such Noteholders.
It is further understood and intended that so long as any portion of the Notes
remains Outstanding, the Servicer shall not have any right to institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture (other than
for the enforcement of Section 3.4 hereof) or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee (including without limitation a proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code), or for any other remedy hereunder. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be
construed as limiting the rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to petition
a court for the removal of a Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof.
SECTION 6.8. Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and
Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, other than
the provisions hereof limiting the right to recover amounts due on the Notes to
recoveries from the property comprising the Trust Estate, the Holder of any Note
shall have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the
principal of, and interest on, such Note as such payments of principal and
interest become due, including on the Stated Maturity, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.
SECTION 6.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and,
in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of
Section 2.5 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.
53
SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of
any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
SECTION 6.12. Control by Noteholders.
Except as may otherwise be provided in this Indenture, until such
time as the conditions specified in Sections 11.1(a)(i) and (ii) hereof have
been satisfied in full, the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the
Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Indenture Trustee, with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) no such direction shall be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to follow any such
direction which the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes might result in
any personal liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee for which the
Indenture Trustee is not adequately indemnified; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with any such
direction; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall give notice of any
such action to each Noteholder.
SECTION 6.13. Waiver of Events of Default.
(a) Unless a Sequential Pay Event shall have occurred, the Holders
representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of
Notes may, by one or more instruments in writing, waive any Event of Default
hereunder and its consequences, except a continuing Event of Default:
(i) in respect of the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Note (which may only be waived by the Holder of such Note), or
(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Article IX hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Note affected (which only may be waived by the
Holders of all Outstanding Notes affected).
54
(b) A copy of each waiver pursuant to Section 6.13(a) above shall
be furnished by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder. Upon
any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed
to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
SECTION 6.14. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree (and each Holder of any Note by
its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, (ii) to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group
of Noteholders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of
each Class of Notes Outstanding, or (iii) to any suit instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Note on or after the maturities for such payments, including the Stated
Maturity, as applicable.
SECTION 6.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 6.16. Sale of Trust Estate.
(a) The power to effect the sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to
Section 6.3 hereof shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall
have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid or
losses allocated thereto and borne thereby. The Indenture Trustee may from time
to time, upon directions in accordance with Section 6.12 hereof, postpone any
public sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.
(b) Unless required by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall
not sell to a third party the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof except as
permitted under Section 6.3(d) hereof.
55
(c) In connection with a sale of the Trust Estate:
(i) any one or more Noteholders (other than Bluegreen or any
Affiliates thereof) may bid for and purchase the property offered for
sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain, and
possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and
any Noteholder (other than Bluegreen or any Affiliates thereof) may, in
paying the purchase money therefor, deliver in lieu of cash any
Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon for credit in the amount
that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable
thereon, and the Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be
less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Noteholders
after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument of conveyance prepared by the Servicer transferring the
Indenture Trustee's interest in the Trust Estate without recourse,
representation or warranty in any portion of the Trust Estate in
connection with a sale thereof;
(iii) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the
agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey the
Issuer's interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a
sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale;
(iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to
ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys; and
(v) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of the
Trust Estate shall be commercially reasonable.
(vi) None of Bluegreen or its Affiliates may bid for and purchase
the Timeshare Loans offered for sale by the Indenture Trustee in Section
6.16(c)(i) above.
SECTION 6.17. Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the
Notes or under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or
with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. Neither the
Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or
the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the
Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 6.18. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
56
Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer
shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel
or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor, the Club Originator
and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their respective obligations to the
Issuer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement and any other Transaction
Document and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges
lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement
or any other Transaction Document to the extent and in the manner directed by
the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the
part of the Depositor, the Club Originator or the Servicer thereunder and the
institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or
secure performance by the Depositor, the Club Originator or the Servicer of each
of their obligations under the Sale Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.
ARTICLE VII.
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
SECTION 7.1. Certain Duties.
(a) The Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture
Trustee; except as expressly set forth herein, the Indenture Trustee shall have
no obligation to monitor the performance of the Servicer under the Transaction
Documents.
(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in
the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, the
Indenture Trustee shall not be required to verify or recalculate the contents
thereof.
(c) In case an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default
(resulting in the appointment of the Indenture Trustee as successor Servicer)
has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs; provided,
however, that no provision in this Indenture shall be construed to limit the
obligations of the Indenture Trustee to provide notices under Section 7.2
hereof.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such
Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity acceptable to the Indenture Trustee (which
57
may be in the form of written assurances) against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.
(e) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve
the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this Section shall not be construed to limit the effect of
Section 7.1(a) and (b) above;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it shall be
proved that the Indenture Trustee shall have been negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the written direction of the holders of the requisite principal amount of
the outstanding Notes, or in accordance with any written direction
delivered to it under Sections 6.2(a), (b) or (c) hereof relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture.
(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section 7.1.
(g) The Indenture Trustee makes no representations or warranties
with respect to the Timeshare Loans or the Notes or the validity or sufficiency
of any assignment of the Timeshare Loans to the Issuer or to the Trust Estate.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture
Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to
believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 7.2. Notice of Events of Default.
The Indenture Trustee shall promptly (but, in any event, within
three (3) Business Days) notify the Issuer, the Servicer, the Rating Agencies
and the Noteholders upon a Responsible Officer obtaining actual knowledge of any
event which constitutes an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default or
would constitute an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default but for the
requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both.
58
SECTION 7.3. Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof:
(a) The Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(b) Any request or direction of any Noteholders, the Issuer, or
the Servicer mentioned herein shall be in writing;
(c) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder the
Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer's Certificate or an
opinion of counsel;
(d) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice
of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be deemed authorization in
respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in reliance thereon;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Indenture Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Noteholders representing at least 66-2/3% of
the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses
or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation
is, in the reasonable opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such
cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by
the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand;
(f) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian (which may be an Affiliate of the Indenture
Trustee), and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or
omissions of such agents, attorneys or custodians appointed with due care by it
hereunder; and
(g) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the
Indenture Trustee provided for herein or any other Transaction Document is for
informational purposes
59
only (unless otherwise expressly stated), and the Indenture Trustee's receipt of
such shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Servicer's or Issuer's compliance with any of its representations, warranties or
covenants hereunder (as to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officer's Certificates).
SECTION 7.4. Indenture Trustee Not Liable for Notes or Timeshare Loans.
(a) The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or any Transaction Document, the Notes
(other than the authentication thereof) or of any Timeshare Loan. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of
funds paid to the Issuer in consideration of conveyance of the Timeshare Loans
and related assets to the Trust Estate.
(b) The Indenture Trustee (in its capacity as Indenture Trustee)
shall have no responsibility or liability for or with respect to the validity of
any security interest in any property securing a Timeshare Loan; the existence
or validity of any Timeshare Loan, the validity of the assignment of any
Timeshare Loan to the Trust Estate or of any intervening assignment; the review
of any Timeshare Loan, any Timeshare Loan File, the completeness of any
Timeshare Loan File, the receipt by the Custodian of any Timeshare Loan or
Timeshare Loan File (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee has not
reviewed and does not intend to review such matters); the performance or
enforcement of any Timeshare Loan; the compliance by the Servicer or the Issuer
with any covenant or the breach by the Servicer or the Issuer of any warranty or
representation made hereunder or in any Transaction Document or the accuracy of
any such warranty or representation; the acts or omissions of the Servicer, the
Issuer or any Obligor; or any action of the Servicer or the Issuer taken in the
name of the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 7.5. Indenture Trustee May Own Notes.
The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar
or co-paying agent may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights
as it would have if it were not the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar
or co-paying agent.
SECTION 7.6. Indenture Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the
Indenture Trustee Fee and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it
in connection with its responsibilities hereunder in the priorities provided in
Sections 3.4 or 6.6 hereof, as applicable.
SECTION 7.7. Eligibility Requirements for Indenture Trustee.
Other than the initial Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
hereunder shall at all times (a) be a corporation, depository institution, or
trust company organized and doing
60
business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined

examination by federal or state authority, (c) be capable of maintaining an
Eligible Bank Account, (d) have a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less
than "Baa2" from Xxxxx'x and "BBB" from S&P, and (e) shall be acceptable to
Noteholders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of the
each Class of Notes. If such institution publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 7.7, the combined
capital and surplus of such institution shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7, the Indenture Trustee
shall resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.8 below.
SECTION 7.8. Resignation or Removal of Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged
with respect to the Notes by giving 60 days' written notice thereof to the
Servicer, the Issuer, the Rating Agencies, the Noteholder and the Noteholders.
Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Indenture Trustee not objected to by Noteholders representing at least
66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes within 30 days after
prior written notice, by written instrument, in sextuplicate, one counterpart of
which instrument shall be delivered to each of the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Rating Agencies, the Noteholders, the successor Indenture Trustee and the
predecessor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been
so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee.
(b) If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof and shall fail
to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, or if at any time the
Indenture Trustee shall be legally unable to act, fails to perform in any
material respect its obligations under this Indenture, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Issuer or Holders
representing at least 66/2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of
Notes may direct the Issuer to remove the Indenture Trustee. If it removes the
Indenture Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee not objected to by
Holders representing at least 66/2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class
of Notes, within 30 days after prior written notice, by written instrument, in
sextuplicate, one counterpart of which instrument shall be delivered to each of
the Issuer, the Servicer, the Noteholders, the Rating Agencies, the successor
Indenture Trustee and the predecessor Indenture Trustee.
61
(c) Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Section 7.8 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment
by the successor Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 7.9 hereof.
SECTION 7.9. Successor Indenture Trustee.
(a) Any successor Indenture Trustee appointed as provided in
Section 7.8 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each of the
Servicer, the Issuer, the Rating Agencies, the Noteholders and to its
predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder
with like effect as if originally named a Indenture Trustee. The predecessor
Indenture Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the successor
Indenture Trustee or its custodian any Transaction Documents and statements held
by it or its custodian hereunder; and the Servicer and the Issuer and the
predecessor Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for the full and certain vesting
and confirmation in the successor Indenture Trustee of all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations.
(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee
and each successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Indenture
Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the
appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring
Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Notes, shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect
to the Notes as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall
continue to be vested in the retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust Estate hereunder by
more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in
such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees
of the same allocated trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be
trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the
execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal
of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the
appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Issuer or any successor Indenture Trustee, such retiring Indenture Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and
62
deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes of that or those
to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates.
Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer
shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in the preceding paragraph.
(c) No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 7.9 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Indenture Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
7.7 hereof.
(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture
Trustee as provided in this Section 7.9, the Servicer shall mail notice of the
succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to each Noteholder at its address
as shown in the Note Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within
ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture
Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Issuer and the Servicer.
SECTION 7.10. Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 7.7 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 7.11. Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture
Trustee.
(a) At any time or times for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the
time be located or in which any action of the Indenture Trustee may be required
to be performed or taken, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Holders
representing at least 66/2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of
Notes, by an instrument in writing signed by it or them, may appoint, at the
reasonable expense of the Issuer and the Servicer, one or more individuals or
corporations to act as separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee,
acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust
Estate, to the full extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate
trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Indenture
Trustee to act. Notwithstanding the appointment of any separate or co-trustee,
the Indenture Trustee shall remain obligated and liable for the obligations of
the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
(b) The Indenture Trustee and, at the request of the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments
as may be required by the
63
legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully confirming such
title, rights, or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees or
co-trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such
separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they shall
be vested with such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and with such
rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument
of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee,
or the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or
co-trustees jointly with the Indenture Trustee subject to all the terms of this
Indenture, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any
separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an
instrument in writing, constitute the Indenture Trustee its attorney-in-fact and
agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise
all discretion on its behalf and in its name. In any case any such separate
trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be
removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all assets, property, rights, power
duties and obligations and duties of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall,
so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee,
without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee
unless and until a successor is appointed.
(c) All provisions of this Indenture which are for the benefit of
the Indenture Trustee shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or
co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.11.
(d) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Indenture Trustee
shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all powers,
duties and obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee in
respect of the receipt, custody, investment and payment of monies shall be
exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties
and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be
conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and
such additional trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Timeshare Properties in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees; (iii) no
power hereby given to, or exercisable by, any such additional trustee or
separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such trustee except jointly
with, or with the consent of, the Indenture Trustee; and (iv) no trustee
hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other trustee hereunder.
64
If at any time, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer
necessary or prudent in order to conform to such law, the Indenture Trustee
shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
remove any additional trustee or separate trustee.
(e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Indenture
Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient
warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to
take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.11, the
powers of any additional trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of
the Indenture Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 7.12. Paying Agent and Note Registrar Rights.
So long as the Indenture Trustee is the Paying Agent and Note
Registrar, the Paying Agent and Note Registrar shall be entitled to the rights,
benefits and immunities of the Indenture Trustee as set forth in Article VII to
the same extent and as fully as though named in place of the Indenture Trustee
herein. The Paying Agent shall be compensated out of the Indenture Trustee Fee.
SECTION 7.13. Authorization.
The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to
enter into the Lockbox Agreement. Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee agrees to cause to be established and maintained an account
(the "LOCKBOX ACCOUNT") for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Lockbox Account
will be titled as follows "U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee
of BXG Receivables Note Trust 2004-B - Blocked Account", Timeshare Loan-Backed
Notes, Series 2004-B". The Indenture Trustee is authorized and directed to act
as titleholder of the Lockbox Account in accordance with the terms of the
Lockbox Agreement for the benefit of the Noteholders with interests in the funds
on deposit in such accounts. In addition, the Indenture Trustee is hereby
authorized to enter into, execute, deliver and perform under, each of the
applicable Transaction Documents and the Depository Agreement. The Lockbox Bank
will be required to transfer and will be permitted to withdraw funds from the
Lockbox Account in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement.
SECTION 7.14. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Indenture Trustee will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon
the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.
The Indenture Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Issuer, the
Servicer and the Noteholders of the location, and of any change in the location,

Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Noteholder.
(d) The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver
to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree

state law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on
any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with

satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or any
of the Timeshare Loans.
67
(b) The Issuer shall at all times observe and comply in all
material respects with (i) all laws applicable to it, (ii) all requirements of
law in the declaration and payment of distributions, and (iii) all requisite and
appropriate formalities in the management of its business and affairs and the

other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an

the "control" of an "investment company" as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor or amendatory
statute), and the rules and regulations thereunder (taking into account not only
the general definition of the term "investment company" but also any available
exceptions to such general definition); provided, however, that the Issuer shall
be in compliance with this Section 8.4 if it shall have obtained an order
exempting it from regulation as an "investment company" so long as it is in
compliance with the conditions imposed in such order.

documents for the Timeshare Properties so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing;
(iv) enforce or cause the Servicer to enforce any of the Timeshare
Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard, provided, however, the
Issuer will not cause the Servicer to obtain on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders, any Timeshare Property or to take any actions
with respect to any property the result of which would adversely affect
the interests of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders (including, but
not limited to, actions which would cause the Indenture Trustee or the
related Noteholders to be considered a holder of title,
mortgagee-in-possession, or otherwise, or
68
an "owner" or "operator" of Property not in compliance with applicable
environmental statutes); and
(v) preserve and defend title to the Timeshare Loans (including
the right to receive all payments due or to become due thereunder), the
interests in the Timeshare Properties, or other property included in the
Trust Estate and preserve and defend the rights of the Indenture Trustee
in the Trust Estate (including the right to receive all payments due or to
become due thereunder) against the claims of all Persons and parties other
than as permitted hereunder.
(b) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its
commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others
that would release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or
obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or

discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or
agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture or the Custodial
Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.
(c) The Issuer may contract with or otherwise obtain the
assistance of other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this
Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the
Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to
be action taken by the Issuer, provided, however that no appointment of such
Person shall relieve the Issuer of its duties and obligations hereunder.
Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer, Indenture Trustee and
the Custodian pursuant to this Indenture to assist the Issuer in performing its
duties under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.
(d) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Transaction
Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate.
(e) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment
granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders representing
at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes, amend,
modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment,
modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any
Timeshare Loan (except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture or in
the Timeshare Loan Documents) or the Transaction Documents, or waive timely
performance or observance by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian,
the Paying Agent or the Depositor under this Indenture; and (ii) that any such
amendment shall not (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or
delay the timing of, distributions that are required to be made for the benefit
of the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that is
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Noteholders of all the Outstanding Notes. If
69
any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to
by the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, the Issuer agrees, promptly
following a request by the Indenture Trustee, to execute and deliver, at its own
expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the
Indenture may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.
The Issuer, upon the Issuer's failure to do so, hereby irrevocably designates
the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, severally, its agents and
attorneys-in-fact to execute any financing statement or continuation statement
or Assignment of Mortgage required pursuant to this Section 8.5; provided,
however, that such designation shall not be deemed to create a duty in the
Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance of the Issuer with the foregoing
covenants, and provided, further, that the duty of the Indenture Trustee or the
Servicer to execute any instrument required pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall
arise only if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as
applicable, has Knowledge of any failure of the Issuer to comply with the
provisions of this Section 8.5.

Trustee's knowledge, threatened against the Indenture Trustee that, if
determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, would prohibit the Indenture
Trustee from entering into any Transaction Document to which it is a party or,

its obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party.

conducted, other than such consents, approvals, authorizations, declarations,
filings and notices which, neither individually nor in the aggregate, materially
and adversely affect, or in the future will materially and adversely affect, the
business, earnings, prospects, properties or condition (financial or other) of
the Backup Servicer.

the signature page of this Indenture, and the Backup Servicer does not have any

the Backup Servicer, in writing, pursuant to this Agreement or in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain when
furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or fails or will fail to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There are
no facts relating to the Backup Servicer as of the Closing Date which when taken
as a whole, materially adversely affect the financial condition or assets or
business of the Backup Servicer, or which may impair the ability of the Backup
Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which it is a party, which have not been disclosed
herein or in the certificates and other documents furnished by or on behalf of
the Servicer pursuant hereto or thereto specifically for use in connection with

Ladies and Gentlemen:
______________________ (the "Purchaser") hereby represents and
warrants to you in connection with its purchase of $_________ in principal
amount of the above-captioned notes (the "Notes") as follows:
1. The Purchaser (A)(i) is a qualified institutional buyer, and has
delivered to you the certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as
Annex I or Annex II, as applicable, (ii) is aware that the sale to it is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and (iii) is acquiring the Notes for its own account or for
the account of a qualified institutional buyer. The Purchaser is purchasing the
Notes for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for, offer or sale in
connection with a public distribution or in any other manner that would violate
the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
2. The Purchaser understands that the Notes are being offered in a
transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the
meaning of the Securities Act, that the Notes have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act and that (A) if in the future it decides to
offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Notes, such Notes may be
offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (i) in the United States
to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional
buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A of the Securities
Act, (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144 (if available), or (iii) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through
(iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the
United States, and that (B) the Purchaser will, and each subsequent holder is
required to, notify any subsequent purchaser of such Notes from it of the resale
restrictions referred to in (A) above.
3. The Purchaser understands that the Notes will, until the
expiration of the applicable holding period with respect to the Notes set forth
in Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer and
the Holder thereof, bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
THIS NOTE WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"), AND THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE
ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH
PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS NOTE MAY BE
RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT
PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.
THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE ISSUER THAT (A) THIS NOTE MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
94
TRANSFERRED ONLY (1) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY
BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2)
PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF
AVAILABLE), OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (1) THROUGH (3) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY
APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER
WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS
NOTE FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE.
4. If the Purchaser is purchasing any Notes as a fiduciary or agent
for one or more investor accounts, it has sole investment discretion with
respect to each such account and has full power to make acknowledgments,
representations and agreements contained herein on behalf of such account(s).
5. Reference is made to the Offering Circular, dated July 1, 2004,
related to the Notes. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Offering Circular. The
Purchaser has received a copy of the Offering Circular and such other
information, if any, requested by the Purchaser, has had full opportunity to
review such information and has received information necessary to verify such
information. The Purchaser represents that in making its investment decision to
acquire the Notes, the Purchaser has not relied on representations, warranties,
opinions, projections, financial or other information or analysis, if any,
supplied to it by any person, including the addressees of this letter, except as
expressly contained in the Offering Circular and in the other written
information, if any, referred to in the preceding sentence. The Purchaser
acknowledges that it has read and agreed to the matters stated on pages (v) and
(vi) of the Offering Circular and information therein, including the
restrictions on duplication and circulation of the Offering Circular.
6. The Purchaser (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Notes, and (ii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of
its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment.
7. The Purchaser understands that the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers
and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing
acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained in this letter and
agrees that if any of the acknowledgments, representations or agreements deemed
to have been made by it are no longer accurate, it will promptly notify the
Issuer and the Initial Purchasers. If it is acquiring any Notes as a fiduciary
or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents that it has sole
investment discretion with respect to each such account and it has full power to
make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained in
this letter on behalf of such account.
8. The Notes may not be sold or transferred to, and each Purchaser
by its purchase of the Notes shall be deemed to have represented and covenanted
that it is not acquiring the Notes for or on behalf of or with the assets of,
and will not transfer the Notes to, any employee benefit plan as defined in
Section 3 (3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), that is subject to Title I of ERISA or any other "plan" as defined in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"CODE"), that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or any plan that is subject
to any substantially similar provision of federal, state or local law ("SIMILAR
LAW"), except that such purchase for or on behalf of or with assets of a plan
shall be permitted:
(i) to the extent such purchase is made by or on behalf of a bank
collective investment fund maintained by the Purchaser in which no plan
(together with any other plans maintained by the same employer or employee
organization) has an interest in excess of 10% of the total assets in such
collective investment fund, and the other applicable conditions of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 91-38 issued by the Department of Labor are
satisfied as of the date of acquisition of the Notes and all such conditions
will continue to be satisfied thereafter;
95
(ii) to the extent such purchase is made by or on behalf of an
insurance company pooled separate account maintained by the Purchaser in which
no plan (together with any other plans maintained by the same employer or
employee organization) has an interest in excess of 10% of the total of all
assets in such pooled separate account, and the other applicable conditions of
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 90-1 issued by the Department of Labor
are satisfied as of the date of acquisition of the Notes and all such conditions
will continue to be satisfied thereafter;
(iii) to the extent such purchase is made on behalf of a plan by a
"qualified professional asset manager", as such term is described and used in
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14 issued by the Department of Labor,
and the assets of such plan when combined with the assets of other plans
established or maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof) or
employee organization and managed by such qualified professional asset manager
do not represent more than 20% of the total client assets managed by such
qualified professional asset manager at the time of the transaction, and the
other applicable conditions of such exemption are otherwise satisfied as of the
date of acquisition of the Notes and all such conditions will continue to be
satisfied thereafter;
(iv) to the extent such plan is a governmental plan (as defined in
Section 3 (32) of ERISA) which is not subject to the provisions of Title I of
ERISA or Sections 401 or 501 of the Code;
(v) to the extent such purchase is made by or on behalf of an
insurance company general account in which the reserves and liabilities for the
general account contracts held by or on behalf of any plan, together with any
other plans maintained by the same employer (or its affiliates) or employee
organization, do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the
insurance company general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities),
plus surplus as set forth in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
Annual Statement filed with the state of domicile of the insurer, in accordance
with Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, and the other applicable
conditions of such exemption are otherwise satisfied as of the date of
acquisition of the Notes and all such conditions will continue to be satisfied
thereafter;
(vi) to the extent such purchase is made by an in-house asset
manager within the meaning of Part IV(a) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 96-23 and such manager has made or properly authorized the decision
for such plan to purchase Notes, under circumstances such that Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 96-23 is applicable to the purchase and holding of
such Notes and all of the other applicable conditions of such exemption are
otherwise satisfied as of the date of acquisition of such Notes and all such
conditions will continue to be satisfied thereafter; or
(vii) to the extent such purchase will not otherwise give rise to a
transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code
or Similar Law for which a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is
unavailable.
The Purchaser, if described in the preceding clauses, further
represents and agrees that it is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section
3(16)(B) of ERISA) by the Issuer, the Depositor, the Originators, the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Paying Agent,
the Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Lockbox Bank or the Initial Purchaser,
or by any affiliate of any such person.
9. The Purchaser acknowledges that, under the Indenture, Notes (or
beneficial interests therein) may be purchased and transferred only in
authorized denominations - i.e., a minimum denomination of $50,000 and integral
multiplies of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Purchaser covenants that the
Purchaser will neither (i) transfer Notes (or beneficial interests therein) in
less than the authorized denominations nor (ii) transfer Notes (or beneficial
interests therein) where the result would be to reduce the Purchaser's remaining
holdings of Notes (or beneficial interests therein) below the authorized
denominations.
96
10. By execution hereof, the Purchaser agrees to be bound, as
Noteholder, by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Indenture and
the Notes.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding

undersigned. If there is more than one signatory hereto, the obligations,
representations, warranties and agreements of the undersigned are made jointly
and severally.

date of sale for a foreign bank or equivalent institution.
- Savings and Loan. The Purchaser (a) is a savings and loan
association, building and loan association, cooperative bank,
homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised
and examined by a State or Federal authority having supervision over
any such institutions or is a foreign savings and loan association

least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial

- Other. (Please supply a brief description of the entity and a

registered investment companies should complete Annex 2 rather than

____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
3. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities
of issuers that are affiliated with the Purchaser, (ii) securities that are part
of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Purchaser, if the Purchaser is
a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan
participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to
a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.
For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or
invested on a discretionary basis by the Purchaser, the Purchaser did not
include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned
and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Purchaser, the Purchaser used
the cost of such securities to the Purchaser, unless the Purchaser reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Purchaser may have included securities
owned by subsidiaries of the Purchaser, but only if such subsidiaries are
consolidated with the Purchaser in its financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments
of such subsidiaries are managed under the Purchaser's direction. However, such
securities were not included if the Purchaser is a majority-owned, consolidated
subsidiary of another enterprise and the Purchaser is not itself a reporting
company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and
understands that the parties to which this certification is being made are
relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or
more sales to the Purchaser may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
Will the Purchaser be purchasing the Transferred
Note only for the Purchaser's own account?
______________ _______________
Yes No
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", then in each case
where the Purchaser is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Purchaser through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The Purchaser will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Purchaser's purchase of the Transferred Note
will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such
purchase. In addition, if the Purchaser is a
99
bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Purchaser agrees that it will
furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements that become
available on or before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become
available.
