(ii)Interest and all fees under this Agreement shall be calculated under this paragraph on the basis of actual days elapsed over a period of a 360 day year.
(iii)Each Advance shall bear interest as of the date of Lender's wiring of funds thereof through the date of the receipt by Lender of the repayment of such Advance (if the repayment of all or any portion of any Advance is received by Lender later than 1:00 pm, Eastern time, then interest accrual thereon shall be through the next Business Day following such receipt). After the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or after the Maturity Date (if the aggregate principal balance of the Advances and any other sums due under any Loan Document is not paid in full on the Maturity Date), the Loan will bear interest at the Default Rate.
(iv)Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the LIBOR Rate is increased or decreased, the Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the LIBOR Rate on and after the day of such change (subject to the Maximum Rate).
(v)Borrower and Lender intend to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. All agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Loan or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). Lender may, in determining the Maximum Rate in effect from time to time, take advantage of any law, rule or regulation in effect from time to time available to Lender which exempts Lender from any limit upon the rate of interest it may charge or grants to Lender the right to charge a higher rate of interest than that otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the Maximum Rate, the interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the Maximum Rate, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of the Loan and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest on the Loan for such full period shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payment under the Security Documents or other Loan Documents exceeds the Maximum Rate, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically described in the Security Documents as “interest”) including without limitation, late charges, shall to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest. Lender hereby expressly disclaims any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the Maximum Rate. The provisions of this Agreement, the Note, all other Security Documents and Loan Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform with the limitations and provisions of this paragraph, and this paragraph shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement now or hereafter existing. This paragraph shall never be superseded or waived unless there is a written document executed by Lender and Borrower, expressly declaring the usury limitation set forth in this paragraph to be null and void, and no other method or language shall be effective to supersede or waive this paragraph.
(o)Interest and Other Payments Due on Holidays. If any payment due on, or with respect to, this Agreement, any Note or any other Security Document or Loan Document shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the 1st Business Day following the day on which such payment shall have so fallen due; provided that if all or any portion of such payment shall consist of a payment of interest, for purposes of calculating such interest, such payment shall be deemed to have been originally due on such first following Business Day, and such interest shall accrue and be payable to (but not including, subject to clause (d) below) the actual date of payment.
(p)Application of Payments Received after 1:00 pm. Any payment actually received by Lender at or before 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, by federal funds wire transfer on any Business Day, shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on such day. Any payment actually received by Lender after 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, by federal funds wire transfer on any Business Day, shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day. All payments received by Lender on a day other than a Business Day, or in a manner other than by federal funds wire transfer, shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the Business Day such amounts actually become available to Lender prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern time in immediately available funds.
(q)Use of Proceeds. No Advance to Borrower may be requested or used to fund any obligation of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower to Lender or any of its successors and assigns.

Borrower acknowledges, and, as applicable, shall instruct the Escrow Agent that Lender shall not authorize the recording of any partial release of its Lien related to a sold Pledged Interval prior to Lender's receipt of the Release Fee and, following the occurrence of an Amortization Triggering Event, the Release Price.

If the amount of funds received by Lender from the Lockbox Agent with respect to any week is insufficient to pay in full the amounts provided for in clauses (A) through (F) of the preceding sentence for such week, without notice or demand, Borrower shall pay the difference to Lender within the first seven (7) days of the next succeeding week.
(iii)Borrower's Receipt of Payments. In the event Borrower receives any payments on any of the Pledged Notes Receivable directly from or on behalf of the maker or makers thereof, Borrower shall receive all such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, and Borrower shall deliver to the Lockbox Agent all such payments (in the form so received from Borrower) as and when received by Borrower unless Lender shall have notified Borrower to deliver directly to Lender all payments in respect of the Pledged Notes Receivable which may be received by Borrower, in which event all such payments (in the form received) shall be endorsed by Borrower to Lender and delivered to Lender promptly upon Borrower's receipt thereof.

Borrower shall include, with any partial prepayment, a request to Lender regarding how such partial prepayment be applied to the Obligations. Absent any Amortization Triggering Event, Lender shall apply the partial prepayment as directed by Borrower, provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to release any Liens of any Collateral, except as otherwise set forth herein.
(e)Release Payments. Payments of Release Prices shall be applied by Lender when received in good, collected funds as set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii) hereof.

No Release Price shall be payable prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Triggering Event.
(f)Borrowing Base.

The pledge and delivery to Lender of additional Eligible Notes Receivable shall comply with the document delivery and recordation requirements set forth in Section 3.5 of this Agreement and shall be accompanied by a written certification of Borrower to the effect that such additional Pledged Notes Receivable are Eligible Notes Receivable and that, giving effect to the pledge to Lender of such Eligible Note Receivable, the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan is equal to or less than the Borrowing Base.

Such repayments shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii).
2.4 Participating Lender
. Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower or the approval of Borrower, to designate one or more Participating Lenders and to grant to such Participating Lenders participations in the Loan, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender. Such Participating Lenders shall communicate and deal only with Lender in respect to such Participating Lenders' interests in the Loan, the Collateral and enforcement of remedies with respect to the Collateral and Borrower shall communicate and deal hereunder only with Lender and not with any Participating Lender. Borrower shall not be liable hereunder to make any payment to any Participating Lender; all of Borrower's Obligations hereunder shall run directly to Lender. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit any Participating Lender from assigning all or any part of the participations acquired by it in the Loan from Lender or from Lender replacing or causing the replacement of one or more Participating Lenders. Unless Lender provides thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower to the contrary, no Participating Lender shall have the right to consent to any request of Borrower made pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document, and Borrower shall be entitled to make any such consent requests solely to Lender.

.
(h)Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable Commitment Fee of $500,000 on the Closing Date.
(i)Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender the Unused Line Fee that is due commencing on the first day of the first month following the Closing Date during the term of the Loan, as applicable; and which at such time shall automatically be paid from the proceeds of the Lockbox Account.
(j)Release Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender an administrative release fee equal to $10 (the “Release Fee”) for each Pledged Interval sold or otherwise released. Such Release Fee shall be due and payable to Lender whether or not a Release Price is due and payable to Lender and whether or not all Obligations have been paid in full.
2.6 Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits
. All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed in each calculation period, as applicable. In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Lender shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 2.6 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.
2.7 Late Fee
. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, if any payment, interest, Obligation, fee, charge or other amount due under any Loan Document is not received by Lender within one (1) Business Day of its due date (other than a final payment due at maturity or upon acceleration of the Obligations), then Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to 5.0% of the amount not timely made or paid.
2.8 Taxes and Other Charges.
. All payments and reimbursements to Lender made under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be free and clear of and without deduction for all Taxes, excluding taxes to the extent imposed on Lender's net income. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any Loan Document to Lender, then the sum payable to Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, if at any time after the Closing or the making of any Advance (a) any change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (b) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (c) compliance by Lender with any Applicable Law: (i) subjects Lender to any tax, levy, impost, deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of any amount payable thereunder (except for net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment fees or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Lender), or (ii) imposes on Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing or maintaining any Loan hereunder or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8 it shall promptly notify, in reasonable detail, Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender has become so entitled, and each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.8 submitted by Lender to Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Lender requests Borrower pay the amounts required pursuant to this Section 2.8, Borrower shall have the right following ninety (90) Business Days of Borrower's receipt of such request, to prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, and terminate this Agreement without paying any prepayment premium described in Section 2.3(c) hereof; provided Borrower shall pay to Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of Borrower's receipt of such request all such amounts required pursuant to this Section 2.8 for the period of time prior to Borrower prepaying the Loan in full and terminating this Agreement.
2.9 Payments by Lender; Protective Advances.
(k)Should any amount required to be paid under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Existing Receivables Loan Document be unpaid beyond any applicable cure period, such amount may be paid by Lender, which payment shall be deemed a request for an Advance under the Loan as of the date such payment is due, and Borrower irrevocably authorizes disbursement of any such funds to Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations in accordance with this Agreement without necessity of any demand whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. No payment or prepayment of any amount by Lender or any other Person shall entitle any Person to be subrogated to the rights of Lender under any Loan Document unless and until the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and paid indefeasibly in cash and this Agreement has been terminated. Any sums expended or amounts paid by Lender as a result of Borrower's failure to pay, perform or comply with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to Borrower's account as an Advance under the Loan and added to the Obligations.
(l)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not any obligation, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) obtain insurance (at the Borrower's expense) covering any of the Collateral to the extent not obtained as required under any Loan Document; (ii) discharge (at the Borrower's expense) taxes or Liens affecting any of the Collateral that have not been paid in violation of any Loan Document or that jeopardize the Lender's Lien priority in the Collateral, including any underlying collateral securing any Pledged Receivable; or (iii) make any other payment (at the Borrower's expense) for the administration, servicing, maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral, or any underlying collateral securing any Pledged Receivable (each such advance or payment set forth in Section 2.9(a), and clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, a “Protective Advance”). Lender shall be reimbursed for all Protective Advances and any Protective Advances shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date the Protective Advance is made by Lender until it is repaid. No Protective Advance by Lender shall be construed as a waiver by Lender of any Default, Event of Default or any of the rights or remedies of Lender.

(au)if such Impositions (other than ad valorem taxes addressed below) are in an amount greater than $100,000, Borrower shall have established an escrow with the Lender, or shall have delivered to the Lender a satisfactory bond issued by a surety acceptable to the Lender or a satisfactory letter of credit for the benefit of the Lender issued by a bank acceptable to the Lender, in each case in an amount estimated by the Lender to be adequate to cover (i) the unpaid amount of such required payment, (ii) all interest, penalties and similar charges which reasonably can be expected to accrue by reason of such contest or by reason of such nonpayment, and (iii) all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) which reasonably can be expected to be incurred in connection therewith by the Lender, which escrow, bond or letter of credit shall be maintained in effect throughout such contest and the amount of which shall be increased from time to time if reasonably required by the Lender to cover the foregoing amounts in subclause (i), subclause (ii) and subclause (iii).
Borrower shall inform the Lender, in advance and in writing, of its intention to contest any Impositions (other than ad valorem taxes addressed below) under this Section 3.8 if such required payment shall exceed $100,000.
Upon termination of any such contest (whether by final determination or otherwise), or at any time during the course of any such contest that the conditions relieving Borrower of its obligation to make such payment shall no longer be satisfied or shall be discovered not to have been satisfied, Borrower shall make such payment. Following the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, at Lender's option, the escrow established or bond or letter of credit, as the case may be, delivered pursuant to this Section 3.8 may be, in the case of the escrow, liquidated, or, in the case of the bond or the letter of credit, drawn upon, at such time and the proceeds thereof may be applied to payment of all or any part of such required payment and the interest, penalties, charges, costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) referred to in subclause (ii) and subclause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph.

Thereafter, the amount then remaining in the escrow established pursuant to this Section 3.7 or such bond or letter of credit, as the case may be, shall be returned to Borrower free and clear of the Lien of this Agreement or any other Security Document so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be retained by the Lender as part of the Collateral.

In connection with any ad valorem tax challenge filed by either the Borrower or any Owner's Association, the Borrower or such Owner's Association, as the case may be, shall be required to deliver written notice of such intention to contest and shall make a "good faith deposit", which shall be in an amount determined in good faith either by the Borrower or such Owner's Association equal to the tax amount owed based upon the admitted fair market value by the party challenging such assessment. Such proceedings may continue if, and only so long as no final judicial determination in respect of any foreclosure or other enforcement proceedings in respect to such ad valorem taxes shall have been rendered, and no claim for liability of any kind shall have been asserted against the Lender in connection with such ad valorem taxes.
In the event the amount of the "good faith deposit" made by either the Borrower or any Owner's Association is less than the amount claimed by the Lender, the Tax Collector, the Borrower or any Owner's Association, as the case may be, Borrower or any Owner's Association shall establish an escrow arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Lender equal to the amount of any such deficiency, together with an additional amount sufficient to cover any interest which may accrue during the pendency of such proceeding. Upon the termination of any such proceeding, whether by final determination or otherwise, the Borrower or any Owner's Association, as the case may be, shall make full and final payment of the final amount of ad valorem taxes determined to be owed, together with any additional levies, charges, interest, cost or expenses which may be due. Promptly after such payment has been made, Borrower or any Owner's Association shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that any such payment has been made.
3.8 Discharge of Liens Affecting Collateral
If any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, statutory or other Lien shall be filed or otherwise imposed upon or against any item of the Collateral or any Pledged Interval or Additional Resort, then Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after being given notice of the filing of such Lien or otherwise becoming aware of the imposition of such Lien (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days preceding any sale date relating to such Lien), cause such Lien to be vacated or discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense, to contest the validity of any such Lien or of the claim evidenced or secured thereby, by appropriate proceedings commenced prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 30-day period and thereafter diligently and continuously conducted in good faith to final determination, in which event Borrower shall not be required to cause any such Lien to be vacated or discharged of record in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph if, and only so long as:
(av)no final judicial determination in respect of any foreclosure or other enforcement proceeding in respect of such Lien or the claim evidenced or secured thereby shall have been rendered and no nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding or sale in respect of such Lien or such claim shall have been commenced;
(aw)no claim for liability of any kind shall have been asserted against Lender in connection with such Lien or the claim evidenced or secured thereby; and
(ax)if such Lien shall secure a claim of more than $100,000, Borrower shall have established an escrow with Lender, or shall have delivered to Lender a satisfactory bond issued by a surety acceptable to Lender or a satisfactory letter of credit for the benefit of Lender issued by a bank acceptable to Lender, in each case in an amount estimated by Lender to be adequate to cover (i) the unpaid amount of such claim, (ii) all interest, penalties and similar charges which reasonably can be expected to accrue by reason of such contest or by reason of such nonpayment, and (iii) all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) which reasonably can be expected to be incurred in connection therewith by Lender, which escrow, bond or letter of credit shall be maintained in effect throughout such contest and the amount of which shall be increased from time to time if reasonably required by Lender to cover the foregoing amounts in subclause (i), subclause (ii) and subclause (iii).
Borrower shall inform Lender, in advance and in writing, of its intention to contest any Lien securing a claim, or such claim itself, under this Section 3.9 if such claim shall exceed $100,000.
Upon termination of any such contest (whether by final determination or otherwise), or at any time during the course of any such contest that the conditions relieving Borrower of its obligation to cause such Lien to be vacated or discharged shall no longer be satisfied or shall be discovered not to have been satisfied, Borrower shall cause such Lien to be vacated or discharged of record. At Lender's option, the escrow established or bond or letter of credit, as the case may be, delivered pursuant to this Section 3.9 may be, in the case of the escrow, liquidated, or, in the case of the bond or the letter of credit, drawn upon, at such time and the proceeds thereof may be applied to payment of all or any part of the claim evidenced or secured by such Lien and the interest, penalties, charges, costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) referred to in subclause (ii) and subclause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. Promptly after such Lien has been vacated or discharged of record, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such Lien has been vacated or discharged of record. Thereafter, the amount then remaining in the escrow established pursuant to this Section 3.9 or such bond or letter of credit, as the case may be, shall be returned to Borrower free and clear of the Lien of this Agreement or any other Security Document so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be retained by Lender as part of the Collateral.
If any Lien shall not be vacated or discharged as required by this Section, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Lender, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge such Lien in such manner as Lender may select, and Lender shall be entitled, if Lender shall so elect, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such Lien by the lienor and, if Lender shall so elect, to pay the amount of any judgment in favor of such lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender, or to any other Person designated by Lender, the amount of all payments made by Lender as provided above and all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred by Lender until the date so paid to, or as directed by, Lender. To the extent permitted by law, Lender shall thereupon be subrogated to the rights of such lienor and any such payments made by Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be secured by the Collateral.
To further secure the Obligations, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in any cash, escrow arrangement, letter of credit, bond or other security provided pursuant to this Section 3.9.

(bp)In the event that all Obligations hereunder are fully satisfied, then within a reasonable time thereafter, Lender shall endorse the Pledged Notes Receivable using the words “Pay to the order of Silverleaf Resorts, Inc., without recourse,” and deliver such Pledged Notes Receivable, together with any other non-recourse Collateral reassignment documents requested and prepared by Borrower, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances by any Person claiming by, through, or under Lender.

(b) If Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital or on the capital of Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by Lender to a level below that which Lender or Lender's holding company, as applicable, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender's policies and the policies of Lender's holding company, as applicable, with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender's holding company, as applicable, for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or Lender's holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.21(a) and (b), shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(br)(d) Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.21 shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.21 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

8.2 Default Remedies
.
(gk)Acceleration of Obligations; Right To Dispose of Collateral. If an Event of Default under Section 8.1(e) of this Agreement shall occur, then the Obligations shall, automatically and without notice or demand by Lender, become at once due and payable, and Borrower will forthwith pay to Lender, in addition to any and all sums and charges otherwise due in respect of the Obligations and the entire principal of and interest accrued on the Note (calculated as of the date of such acceleration). If any other Event of Default shall occur, all of the Obligations shall, at the option of Lender, and without notice or demand by Lender, become at once due and payable, and Borrower will forthwith pay all sums and charges otherwise due in respect of the Obligations and the entire principal of and interest accrued on the Note (calculated as of the date of such acceleration). Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Maryland or the Applicable State Uniform Commercial Code, all the rights and remedies under each Mortgage and all other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled, including, without limitation and without further notice to Borrower, the right to collect and/or continue to collect all payments being made or to be made on the Purchase Agreements and to apply such payments to the Obligations and to xxx in its own name (or the name of Borrower) the Purchaser or purchaser under any Purchase Agreement. Lender shall also have the right to require Borrower to assemble the Collateral, at Borrower's expense, and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender, which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Lender shall have the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral and may enter any of the premises of Borrower or wherever the Collateral shall be located, in accordance with Applicable Law, and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of Borrower, Borrower agrees not to charge Lender for storage thereof for a period of at least ninety (90) days after sale or disposition of such Collateral). Lender shall also have the right to sell the Collateral or any part thereof. Borrower and Lender agree that ten (10) days' notice to Borrower of any public or private sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof and such sale shall be at such location(s) as Lender shall designate in said notice. Lender shall have the right to bid at any such sale on its own behalf. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. Lender shall not be required to proceed against any Collateral but may proceed against any or Borrower directly. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal that it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter enacted.
In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of Collateral, if comprised of Securities, may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance or existence of an Event of Default, Lender may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for, or with a view to, distribution. In so doing, and without limiting any other means of private placement, Lender may solicit offers to buy such Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from a limited number of investors deemed by Lender, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if Lender solicits such offers from not less than 4 such investors (and otherwise acts in good faith), then the acceptance by Lender of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.
(gl)Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time, appropriate and apply (as provided below) to any Obligations any and all Collateral in its possession and any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves, indebtedness or other monies due or owing to Borrower held by Lender hereunder or under any other financing agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not.

Seventh, towards the payment of all other accrued and unpaid interest, if any, then due and payable in respect of the Inventory Loan,
Eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of the Inventory Loan,
Ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations in such order as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, and
Tenth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, provided that if any Obligations shall not have been paid in full, any such surplus shall continue to be held as Collateral hereunder and shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions hereof until such Obligations shall have been paid in full and such surplus may be used by Lender to pay any such Obligations which from time to time become due and payable.
Borrower shall remain liable hereunder for payment of any deficiency owing on the Obligations after application of such proceeds.
To the extent that any amount allocated to any of the payment categories set forth above is insufficient to fully satisfy all of the obligations referred to in said category, such amount shall be allocated ratably to each of such obligations in accordance with the ratio that the amount of such obligation bears to the aggregate amount of such obligations referred to in such category, unless Lender is permitted to determine the order of such application in its sole discretion.
(gn)Remedies Cumulative. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of Borrower contained in this Agreement, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule given to Lender or contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower, heretofore, concurrently or hereafter entered into, including, without limitation, each Mortgage, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of Borrower herein contained. The failure or delay of Lender to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers or remedies hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such Liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until the Loan and all other Obligations shall have been fully satisfied. All Liens, rights, powers and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and none are exclusive.
The acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to time of partial payments of the Obligations shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Security Documents shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Security Documents or otherwise.
9. REVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS AND LIENS
Borrower expressly agrees that if Borrower makes a payment to Lender, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such repayment, the Obligations or any part thereof intended to be satisfied and the Liens provided for hereunder securing the same shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. This paragraph shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e) The Loan Servicing Agreement may be terminated at any time without prior notice to or consent of Borrower, and Lender will notify Borrower within a reasonable period of time thereafter of such termination. Upon termination of the Loan Servicing Agreement and failure to replace the Loan Servicing Agreement with a new servicing agreement, all references herein to the Loan Servicer shall thereafter mean and refer to Lender.
10.22 Right of Lender to Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release Security, Etc.
Without affecting the liability of any Person for the payment of any of the Obligations and without affecting or impairing Lender's Lien and other rights in and to the Collateral, or the remainder thereof, as security for the full amount of the Loan unpaid and the Obligations, Lender may from time to time, without notice: (a) release any Person liable for the payment of the Loan; (b) extend the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of the Loan; (c) accept additional security for the Obligations of any kind, including deeds of trust or mortgages and security agreements; (d) alter, substitute, or release any property securing the Obligations; (e) realize upon any Collateral for the payment of all or any portion of the Loan as provided herein in such order and manner as it may deem fit; and/or (f) join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Agreement or the lien or charge thereof.
10.23 Notice to Purchaser
. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender and Lockbox Agent (but neither Lender nor Lockbox Agent shall be obligated) to communicate at any time and from time to time with any Purchaser or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable under a Pledged Note Receivable with regard to the Lien of the Lender thereon and any other matter relating thereto, and by no later than the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender notifications to the Purchasers executed in blank by Borrower and in form acceptable to Lender, pursuant to which such Purchasers (or other obligors) are directed to remit all payments in respect of the Collateral to Lockbox Agent or as Lender may otherwise require.
10.24 Collection of Pledged Notes Receivable
. Borrower hereby directs and authorizes each Purchaser and any other Person liable for the payment of any Pledged Note Receivable, and promptly after the Closing Date, shall direct in writing each such Person, to pay each installment due thereon directly to Lockbox Agent, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, unless and until directed otherwise by written notice from Lender or, at Lender's direction, from Borrower, after which such parties are and shall be directed to make all further payments on the Pledged Notes Receivable in accordance with the directions of Lender. Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to require that all payments becoming due under the Pledged Notes Receivable be paid directly to Lender, and Lender is hereby authorized to receive, collect, hold, and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement but shall provide Borrower with accountings of all such activity on at least as frequent a basis as Lockbox Agent was obligated to provide accountings to Lender and Borrower, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement. In the event that following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender or Lockbox Agent does not receive any installment of principal or interest due and payable under any of the Pledged Notes Receivable on or prior to the date upon which such installment becomes due, Lender may, at its election (but without any obligation to do so), give or cause Lockbox Agent to give notice of such event of default to the defaulting party or parties, and Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of such instruments, to accelerate payment of the unpaid balance of any of the Pledged Notes Receivable in default to foreclose each of the Timeshare Mortgages securing the payment thereof and to enforce any other remedies available to the holder of such Pledged Notes Receivable, with respect to such event of default. Borrower hereby further authorizes, directs, and empowers Lender (and Lockbox Agent or any other Person as may be designated by Lender in writing) to collect and receive all checks and drafts evidencing such payments and to endorse such checks or drafts in the name of Borrower and, upon such endorsements, to collect and receive the money therefor. The right to endorse checks and drafts granted pursuant to the preceding sentence is irrevocable by Borrower, and the banks or banks paying such checks or drafts upon such endorsements, as well as the signers of the same, shall be as fully protected as though the checks or drafts had been endorsed by Borrower.
10.25 Power of Attorney
. Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Lender as Borrower's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for Borrower, and in Borrower's name, place, and stead, or otherwise, to (a) endorse any checks or drafts payable to Borrower in the name of Borrower and in favor of Lender as provided in Section 10.24 above; (b) to demand and receive from time to time any and all property, rights, titles, interests, and Liens (which are related to Lender's Collateral) hereby sold, assigned, and transferred, or intended so to be, and to give receipts for same; (c) upon a Default or an Event of Default, to collect all rent, revenues, and income, pursuant to the terms of any Pledged Note Receivable and relocated Timeshare Mortgage; (d) from time to time, to institute and prosecute, in Lender's own name, any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that Lender may deem proper in order to collect, assert, or enforce any claim, right, or title, of any kind, in and to the property, rights, titles, interests, and Liens hereby sold, assigned, or transferred, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise any and all actions, suits, or proceedings in respect of any of the said property, rights, titles, interests, and Liens; (e) upon a Default or an Event of Default, to change Borrower's post office mailing addresses in connection with the Collateral; and (f) generally to do all and any such acts and things in relation to the Collateral as Lender shall in good xxxxx xxxx advisable, subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof. Borrower hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers granted pursuant to this Section 10.25 are coupled with an interest and are and shall be irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason.
10.26 Taxes
. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligations of Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (including penalties, interest and additions to tax), imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of Lender, (i) such taxes (including income taxes or franchise taxes) as are imposed on or measured by the net income, overall receipts or total capital of Lender by the jurisdiction in which Lender is organized or maintains a Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).
(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the full amount of any and all Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.26) paid or payable by Lender and any liability (other than any penalties, interest, additions, and expenses that accrue both after the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the receipt by Lender of written notice of the assertion of such Taxes or Other Taxes and before the date that Lender provides Borrower with a certificate relating thereto) pursuant to Section 10.26(i) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payments under this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
(d) If Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.26), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made;
(ii) Borrower shall make such deductions; and
(iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(e) Within ten (10) days after the date of any payment by Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender.
(f) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of Lender pursuant to this Section 10.26, then Lender shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by Borrower or to designate a Lending Office from a different jurisdiction (if such a Lending Office exists) so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payments by Borrower which may accrue in the future if such filing or changes in the reasonable judgment of Lender, would not require Lender to disclose information Lender deems confidential and is not otherwise disadvantageous to Lender.
(g) If Lender, in its reasonable judgment, receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.26, it shall promptly pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 10.26 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) and any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay the applicable refund to such Governmental Authority.
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Lender is required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes or any other taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to Lender by Borrower, Lender shall not be required to make any gross-up payment to or in respect of Lender, except to the extent that a corresponding gross-up payment is actually received by Lender from Borrower.
(i) Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Section 10.26 shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Lender) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
(j) The agreements and obligations of Borrower in this Section 10.26 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.
