(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would
otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 plus 1% or
(y) in the case of overdue interest or other amount, the rate described in paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.8 plus 1%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in
full (as well after as before judgment). For purposes of this Agreement, principal shall be
“overdue” only if not paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7.
2.9. Non-use fee. The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the
Lenders, a non-use fee for each day prior to the termination of the Commitments equal to 0.20% per
annum on the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate Commitments on such day over (y) the aggregate
principal amount of Loans outstanding. On each Settlement Date (or, if earlier, on the date upon
which both the Commitments are terminated and the Loans are paid in full), the Company shall pay to
the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the portion of such non-use fee which accrued
during the Settlement Period most recently ended (or, in the case of the payment due on the
Maturity Date, the portion thereof ending on such date); provided that any
22
Lender may waive the non-use fee payable to it in its sole discretion (it being understood
that, if a Lender shall so waive the payment of the non-use fee payable to it, no Event of Default
shall occur with respect to any failure to pay such Lender its non-use fee).
2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on all Loans shall be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Loans
bearing interest at the Prime Rate, a year of 365 or 366 days as appropriate (in each case
including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination of an interest rate by the
Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company
and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year composed of twelve 30-day months. The Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon
request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent
in determining any interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to this Agreement.
2.11. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If the LIBO Rate cannot be determined by
the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of the term “LIBO Rate” contained in Section
1.1 of this Agreement, the Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company
and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until such time as the LIBO Rate can be
determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of such term contained in said
Section 1.1, the LIBO Rate shall be the last LIBO Rate that the Agent was able to determine.
2.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (b) Each Borrowing of Loans from the Lenders
hereunder and (except as provided in Section 2.17(c)) any reduction of the Commitments of the
Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.
Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on
the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Loans then held by the Lenders.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the due date thereof to the Agent, for the account
of the relevant Lenders in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Agent shall distribute
such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on the Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect
to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension. If any payment on a Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of
such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the deadline
for funding a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its
Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing available to the Agent, the Agent may
23
assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Agent, and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such
amount is not made available to the Agent by the required time on the borrowing date therefor, such
Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the
daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount
immediately available to the Agent. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing is not made available to the Agent
by such Lender within three Business Days of such borrowing date, the Agent shall be entitled to
recover such amount with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, on demand, from the
Company.
2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender
shall give notice thereof to the Agent and the Company describing the relevant provisions of such
Requirement of Law (and, if the Company shall so request, provide the Company with a memorandum or
opinion of counsel of recognized standing (as selected by such Lender) as to such illegality),
following which (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make and continue Loans as such
shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Loans, if any, shall be
converted automatically to Federal Funds Rate Loans (i) on the respective last days of the then
current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or (ii) within such earlier period as required
by law. If any such conversion of a Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if
any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.16.
2.14. Increased Costs. (b) If there shall be (i) any increase in the cost to any
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or (ii) any reduction in any
amount receivable in respect thereof, and such increased cost or reduced amount receivable is due
to either:
(x) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation after the date hereof; or
(y) the compliance with any guideline or request made after the date hereof from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law),
then (subject to the provisions of Section 2.17) the Company shall from time to time, upon demand
by such Lender pay such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
(c) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that (i) the applicability of any law,
rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof pursuant to or arising out of the July
1988 paper of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled
“International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or (ii) the adoption
after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital
24
adequacy affecting such Lender, or (iii) any change arising after the date hereof in the
foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or any lending office of such Lender), or any holding
company for such Lender which is subject to any of the capital requirements described above, with
any request or directive of general application issued after the date hereof regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on
the capital of any such holding company as a direct consequence of such Lender’s obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or any such holding company could have achieved
but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and
the policies of such holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably
deemed by such Lender to be material, then (subject to the provisions of Section 2.17) from time to
time such Lender may request the Company to pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate such Lender or any such holding company for any such reduction suffered, net of the
savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such increased capital
requirement. Any certificate as to such amounts which is delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(a)
shall, in addition to any items required by Section 2.17(a), include the calculation of the savings
(if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such increased capital
requirement; provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to pay or refund any
amounts to the Company on account of such savings.
(d) In the event that any Governmental Authority shall impose any LIBO Reserve Requirements
which increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining Loans, then (subject to the
provisions of Section 2.17) the Company shall thereafter pay in respect of the Loans of such Lender
a rate of interest based upon the LIBO Reserve Rate (rather than upon the LIBO Rate). From and
after the delivery to the Company of the certificate required by Section 2.17(a), all references
contained in this Agreement to the LIBO Rate shall be deemed to be references to the LIBO Reserve
Rate with respect to each such affected Lender.
2.15. Taxes. (b) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings,
now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) or any other
tax based upon net income imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former
connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority
imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than
any such connection arising solely from the Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings
(“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable
to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) a net amount equal to the amount it would have received had no
such deduction or withholding been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to increase any such amounts
25
payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes if such Lender fails to comply
with the requirements of paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send
to the Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified
copy of an original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the
Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.
The agreements in this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment
of all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) In addition, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Each Lender that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
(“Non-US Lender”) shall:
(X)(i) on or before the date such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender or a Transferee (as
defined in Section 9.6(g) of this Agreement) under this Agreement, deliver to the Company
and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is
entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction, withholding or backup
withholding of any United States federal income taxes;
(ii) if, and to the extent, such Lender is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Company and the Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the
date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by
it to the Company; and
(iii) if, and to the extent, such Lender is legally entitled to do so, obtain such
extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably
be requested by the Company or the Agent; or
(Y) in the case of any such Non-US Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal
Withholding Tax under that is not a “bank” within the Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code
with respect to payment of “portfolio interest”, deliver on or before the date such Non-US
Lender becomes a Lender or a Participant under this Agreement, (A) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G (any such certificate a “US Tax Compliance
Certificate”), (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal
entitlement at the date of such certificate to a complete exemption from US withholding tax,
(C) two further copies of such form and certification (I) on or before the date it expires
or becomes obsolete and (II) if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally able to
provide such form or certification, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it to the
26
Company, (D) if and to the extent such Non-US Lender is then legally able to do so, if
necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent
for filing and completing such forms, and (E) agree, if and to the extent such Non-US Lender
is then legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the
Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably
required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to a complete exemption
from or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any
Notes;
unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required
which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the
Agent. Each Non-U.S. Lender that is an Assignee or Participant hereunder pursuant to Section 9.6
shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and
statements required pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided that in the case of a
Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements, documentation or
certifications to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased, and
such Lender shall in turn furnish all such required forms (including, without limitation, Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY), documentation and certifications to the Company and the Agent.
(d) If and to the extent that a Lender, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith),
determines that it has received or been granted a credit against, a relief from, a remission of, or
a repayment of, any Non-Excluded Tax, in respect of which it has received additional payment under
Section 2.15(a) of this Agreement, then such Lender shall pay to the Company the amount of such
credit, relief, remission or repayment so determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion
(exercised in good faith), attributable to such deduction or withholding of Non-Excluded Tax;
provided that the Lender shall not be obligated to make any payment under this paragraph in
respect of such credit, relief, refund, remission or repayment until the Lender, in its sole
judgment (exercised in good faith), is satisfied that its tax affairs for the tax year in respect
of which such credit, relief, remission or repayment was obtained have been finally settled.
2.16. Indemnity. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(a), the Company agrees to
indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss (other than lost profits) or
reasonable expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a) default by the Company in making a borrowing of into or continuation of any Loan
hereunder after the Company has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement;
(b) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company has given a
notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
(c) the making of a prepayment of Loans on a day which is not the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto;
27
(d) A Receivable, Developer Loan, Pre-Sale Receivable or A, D & C Loan which is
certified by the Company to be an Eligible Receivable, Eligible Developer Loan, Eligible
Pre-Sale Receivable or Eligible A, D & C Loan, respectively, is not an Eligible Receivable,
Eligible Developer Loan, Eligible Pre-Sale Receivable or Eligible A, D & C Loan at such time
such eligibility is certified;
(e) reliance on any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Company or
the Master Servicer under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or Developer Facility
Document to which it is a party, which shall have been false or incorrect in any respect
when made or deemed made or delivered, including, without limitation, a breach of the
certification required under Section 2.18 in connection with a release of Collateral from
the Agent’s security interest;
(f) the failure by the Company to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained
in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the lien release provisions in Section
2.18 hereof) or any other Credit Document or Developer Agreement or by the Company, any
Developer, or the Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with
respect to the Collateral (or any assets securing the obligations of the Developer in
connection therewith) or the nonconformity of any Collateral with any such applicable law,
rule or regulation;
(g) the failure to xxxxx x Xxxx on, vest and maintain vested in the Agent on behalf of
the Lenders, a valid and perfected Lien in the Collateral free and clear of any Adverse
Claim or any Permitted Lien except in favor of any the Agent whether existing at the time
such Collateral arose or at any time thereafter;
(h) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, mortgages, financing statements or
other similar instruments or documents under applicable laws against the Company with
respect to any Collateral or the failure to properly record any Mortgage in favor of the
applicable Developer with respect to any Pre-Sale Receivable or Receivable (except in the
case of a Right-to-Use Agreement);
(i) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of (i)
the Obligor to the payment of any Pledged Pre-Sale Receivable or Receivable (including a
defense based on any related Timeshare sale agreement not being a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms) or (ii) the
Developer with respect to a Pledged Loan, a Timeshare Backed Loan or a Developer Agreement;
(j) any failure of any Developer, the Company or any of its Affiliates to perform its
services, duties or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Documents, including, without limitation, paying all taxes, including sales, excise, stamp
and personal property taxes, when due;
(k) the payment of such Indemnified Party of taxes, including, without limitation, any
taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and any liability
28
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
to the extent caused by the Company’s actions or failure to act in breach of this Agreement;
(l) any claim, action or proceeding of any kind arising out of or in connection with
the Collateral, including any products liability claim or personal injury or property damage
suit or environmental claim or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort;
(m) the commingling of funds or other assets of the Company with those of any Affiliate
of the Company, or maintaining any bank account or other depository account to which any
such Affiliate is an account party, into which any such Affiliate makes deposits or from
which any such Affiliate has the power to make withdrawals;
(n) any third-party claims arising from the Company administration of the Collateral,
the use of proceeds of Loans or the existence of the transactions evidenced by the Credit
Documents, including any investigation, litigation or proceeding in respect of the
foregoing;
(o) with respect to any Right-to-Use Agreement, (a) the termination thereof (whether by
rejection under Section 365 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) or other
cancellation thereof as a result of or in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding related
to the Developer party to such Right-to-Use Agreement or (b) the termination thereof or the
cancellation thereof by the related Obligor as a result of the Developer’s (or its agent’s
or designee’s) failure to comply with, or perform its obligations under, the terms and
requirements of such Right-to-Use Agreement; and
Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be paid by the
Company to the Agent within thirty (30) Business Days following Agent’s demand therefor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for the purposes of this
Section 2.16, any representation, warranty, or covenant qualified by the occurrence of a Material
Adverse Effect or limited by a qualifier with respect to the Company’s knowledge shall not be so
qualified or limited.
Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed or continued, for
the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow or continue to the last
day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin included
therein) over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by such Lender) which would have accrued
to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank LIBO market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.17. Notice of Amounts Payable; Relocation of Lending Office; Mandatory Assignment.
(b) In the event that any Lender becomes aware that any amounts are or will be owed to it pursuant
to Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(a) or 2.16, then it shall promptly notify the
29
Company thereof and, as soon as possible thereafter, such Lender shall submit to the Company a
certificate indicating the amount owing to it and the calculation thereof. The amounts set forth
in such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the obligations of the Company hereunder;
provided, however, that the failure of the Company to pay any amount owing to any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(a) or 2.16 shall not be deemed to constitute a Default
or an Event of Default hereunder to the extent that the Company is contesting in good faith its
obligation to pay such amount by ongoing discussions diligently pursued with such Lender or by
appropriate proceedings. The Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
Section 2.14 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to
the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the circumstances giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if
the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(c) If a Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or
2.15(a), it shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to
avoid the need for paying such additional amounts, including changing the jurisdiction of its
applicable lending office, provided that the taking of any such action would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.
(d) In the event that any Lender delivers to the Company a certificate in accordance with
Section 2.17(a) (other than a certificate as to amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16), or the
Company is required to pay any additional amounts or other payments in accordance with Section
2.13, 2.14 or 2.15(a), the Company may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion, (i) require
such Lender to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance with
Section 9.6), all or part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another
Person (provided that the Company, with the full cooperation of such Lender, can identify a
Person who is ready, willing and able to be an Assignee with respect to thereto) which shall assume
such assigned obligations or (ii) during such time as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Lender and prepay all outstanding Loans of such
Lender; provided that (x) the Company or the Assignee, as the case may be, shall have paid
to such Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of
such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and (subject to Section 2.16) all other amounts owed
to it hereunder and (y) such assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender and the
prepayment of Loans is not prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or
Governmental Authority.
2.18. Release of Pledged Pre-Sale Loans and Pledged Loans. (b) Upon (i) the Final
Collection Date with respect to all Pledged Loans subject to the terms of this Agreement which are
in existence on such date, (ii) the written request of the Company asking for the release of a
Defaulted Pre-Sale Receivable or Defaulted A, D & C Loan to allow for the sale of a Timeshare or
Resort, respectively, pursuant to a judicial foreclosure or (iii) the payment in full of all
amounts owing with respect to a Pledged Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Developer
Agreement or otherwise, the Agent, following the Company delivery to the Agent of the necessary
documents and instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, shall
release to the Company or its designee any documents in custody and other items of
30
Collateral related to the affected Pre-Sale Receivables and/or Pledged Loans in order to
effect the transfer from the Agent to the relevant Person of such Pre-Sale Receivables and/or
Pledged Loans; and such Pre-Sale Receivables and/or Pledged Loans so transferred and released shall
no longer constitute part of the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement and shall not be considered
Eligible Pre-Sale Receivables or Eligible A, D & C Loans, as applicable.
(c) In conjunction with the Company’s performance of its duties hereunder, including
administering the Pre-Sale Receivables and Pledged Loans, the Company may remove Pre-Sale
Receivables and Pledged Loans from the Collateral and the Agent’s security interest therein shall
automatically terminate and be released, without further action by the Agent, so long as both
before and after giving effect to such termination and release, the following conditions are
satisfied (and the Company shall be deemed to certify the accuracy of the following at the time it
removes any Pre-Sale Receivable or Pledged Loan pursuant to the terms hereof): (i) there shall not
exist any Event of Default nor shall any Event of Default result from such termination and release,
(ii) the Company’s representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall continue to be
true and correct in all material respects after giving effect to such termination and release,
(iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Loans shall not exceed the Borrowing Base,
and (iv) such release shall not cause a borrowing base shortfall, default, event of default or
similar event under the applicable Developer Agreements to which such Pre-Sale Receivables or A, D
& C Loans are subject.
(d) The Company may at any time request that a Pledged Loan be removed from the Collateral
and that the Agent’s security interest therein be terminated. The Agent in its sole discretion may
consent to such request or reject such request. The Company at no time shall make such a request
unless each of the following conditions are satisfied, both before and after giving effect to the
requested termination and release (and the Company shall be deemed to certify the accuracy of the
following at the time of the requested termination pursuant to the terms hereto): (i) there shall
not exist any Event of Default nor shall any Event of Default result from such termination and
release, (ii) the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein shall
continue to be true and correct in all material respects after giving effect to such termination
and release, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Loans shall not exceed the
Borrowing Base, and (iv) such release shall not cause a Borrowing Base shortfall, default, event of
default or similar event under the applicable Developer Agreement. If the Agent consents in
writing to such a release, then the Agent, following the Company’s delivery to the Agent of each of
the necessary documents and instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent, shall release to the Company or its designee any documents in the Agent’s custody and other
items of Collateral related to the affected Pledged Loans, and shall, at the cost and expense of
the Company, deliver such releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Company in order
to effect the transfer to the relevant Person of such Pledged Loans, and such Pledged Loans so
transferred and released shall no longer constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not
be considered Eligible A, D & C Loans.
2.19. New Developers; Addition of Collateral.
(b) If the Company wishes to add to the Collateral a Developer Loan extended to a Developer
not then listed on Schedule IV, the Company shall, together with a Loan request,
31
deliver a Developer Supplement for each such Developer; provided that no Developer
Supplement shall be required with respect to any Person for which a Developer Supplement shall have
been executed under, and as defined in, the Bank Facility Agreement so long as the aggregate Outstanding
Balance of Developer Loans of such Person in the Loan Portfolio does not exceed $10,000,000, and
such a Person shall constitute a “Developer” hereunder. Each such Developer Supplement, together
with the corresponding Loan request, shall be delivered to the Agent at least five Business Days
prior to the date on which any Loan secured by such Collateral is to be advanced. Each such
Developer Supplement shall be executed by the Company.
(c) The effectiveness of any Developer Supplement is subject to the following: (i)
satisfaction of the related eligibility requirements herein, (ii) delivery of the applicable A, D &
C Loan Agreement and A, D & C Note to the Company in trust for the Agent, and (iii) the perfection
on a first-priority basis of the Agent’s interests in the new Collateral.
(d) Schedule II to the Pledge Agreement and Schedule IV hereto shall be automatically amended
to include A, D & C Loans being added as Collateral if such additions and related Collateral
pledges are made in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.20. Required Repayments. If on any day the Company or the Agent determines that
(i) the representation and warranty in Section 3.11 was not true and correct when made with respect
to any Developer Loan or Pledged Loan or (ii) the Company shall have breached its covenants with
respect to a Developer Loan or a Pledged Loan under Section 5.5 or 5.6 or Section 3(d) of the

the Agent of such Lender under this Agreement, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes GMAC
LLC, as the Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, (a) the Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, and (b) the
Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement
or otherwise exist against the Agent.
8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by
it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own
gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof
contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for
any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder. The Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of
the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books
or records of the Company.
8.4. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation
believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any
amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment,
negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first
41
receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or, to the extent that this Agreement
expressly requires a higher percentage of Lenders, such higher percentage), and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all
future holders of the obligations owing by the Company hereunder.
8.5. Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written
notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent
receives such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify the Company (unless the Company shall have
delivered such notice to the Agent) and then give notice thereof to the Lenders (provided
that the failure to notify the Company shall not impair any of the rights of the Agent and the
Lenders with respect to the events and circumstances specified in such notice). The Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed
by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such
directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Lenders.
8.6. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges
that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to
the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness
of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates
(in their respective capacities as such, but only to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and
without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to
42
their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is
sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the
Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date of payment in full) but giving
effect to any subsequent assignments in accordance with Section 9.6, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any
time following the payment of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be) in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in
connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be). The agreements in this
Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
8.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though
the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Agent
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in
its individual capacity.
8.9. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the
Lenders and the Company and following the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.9. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the
Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve as Agent a successor agent
for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Company (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or
(f) has occurred and is continuing), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon
such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the
parties to this Agreement or any holders of the obligations owing hereunder. After any retiring
Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, nor any terms hereof may be
amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.
The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Agent may, from
time to time, (a) enter into with the Company written amendments, supplements or modifications
hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement
43
or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Company hereunder or (b) waive,
on such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the Agent, as the case may be, may specify

supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, or reduce the stated

each case without the written consent of all the Lenders, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 8 or any other provision of this Agreement governing the rights or obligations
of the Agent without the written consent of the Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment,
supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Company, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the obligations owing hereunder. In the
case of any waiver, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former
position and rights hereunder, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be
cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
9.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties
hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly

this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their

hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign

obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at
the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)
of:
(A) the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or,
if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other
Person; and
(B) the Agent, provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an
assignment to an Assignee that is an affiliate of such assigning Lender.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent)
46
shall
not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Agent otherwise consent,
provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of
Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts
shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an
assignment and assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each, an “Assignment
and Assumption”);
(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an
administrative questionnaire; and
(D) in the case of an assignment to a CLO (as defined below), the assigning Lender
shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender
and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and
(2) directly affects such CLO
For the purposes of this Section 9.6, the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following
meanings:
“Approved Fund”: (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund
which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in
bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as
such Lender or by an affiliate of such investment advisor.
“CLO”: entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed
by a Lender or an affiliate of such Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.5); provided that no Assignee shall then be entitled to
receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the assigning Lender
would have been entitled to receive thereunder in respect of the rights and obligations assigned
by such assigning Lender to such Assignee had no such assignment occurred. Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
47
that does not comply with this Section 9.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph
(c) of this Section.
(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of
its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount
of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence
and amounts of the obligations of the Company therein recorded, and the Company, the Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Agent shall provide a copy of the
Register to the Company on a monthly basis.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained
therein in the Register.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Agent, sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Company, the Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) such Lender shall have given prior
written notice to the Company of the identity of such Participant. Any agreement pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires
the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence
of Section 9.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13,
2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 9.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Company’s prior written consent. Any
48
Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless
such Participant complies with Section 2.15(c)(X)(i).
(d) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any portion of
its Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. In order to facilitate
such pledge or assignment, the Company hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time
and from time to time after the Company has made its initial Borrowing hereunder, the Company shall
provide to such Lender, at the Company’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form
of Exhibit D, evidencing the Loans or Term Loans owing to such Lender (a “Note”).
(e) On or prior to the effective date of an assignment, the assigning Lender shall surrender
any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned, and the Company
shall, upon the request to the Agent made at the time of such assignment by the assigning Lender or
the Assignee, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Agent (in exchange for the outstanding
Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the
amount of such Assignee’s Loan. Any such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall
otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning
Lender shall be returned by the Agent to the Company marked “cancelled”.
(f) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective Participant, any
Participant or any prospective Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) any and all financial
information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company, its Affiliates and the Collateral
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement
or which has been delivered to all Lenders by or on behalf of the Company in connection with their
respective credit evaluations of the Company, its Affiliates and the Collateral prior to becoming a
party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such Transferee has executed and delivered to
the Company and the transferring Lender a written confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable
to the Company and (ii) the Company has been informed of the identity of such Transferee and has
consented (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the disclosure of such information
thereto. Nothing contained in this Section 9.6(f) shall be deemed to prohibit the delivery to any
Transferee of any information which is otherwise publicly available.
9.7. Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in
respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or
proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f), or otherwise), such that it has received
aggregate payments or collateral on account of its Loans in a greater proportion than any such
payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Loans which are then due and payable, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase
for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other
Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or
the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Lender,
49
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.
9.8. Counterparts. (a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties
to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of
the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the
Agent.

delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of this day and year first above written.
