NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in "Standard Definitions"
attached hereto as Annex A.
SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans and Contribution of
Capital to the Depositor.
(a) Timeshare Loans and Contribution of Capital. On each Funding
Date, the Seller hereby agrees to (x) sell in part and contribute in part to the
Depositor in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Timeshare
Loan to be sold on such Funding Date to be paid in part in cash and in part as
an increase in its equity ownership of the Depositor and (y) transfer, assign,
sell and grant to the Depositor, without recourse (except as provided in Section
6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Seller's right, title and interest
in and to (i) any Timeshare Loans listed on the related Borrowing Notice, (ii)
the Receivables in respect of such Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off
Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as
developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program
Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all
Related Security in respect of each such Timeshare Loan and (v) all income,
payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing
(the property in clauses (i)-(v), being the "Assets"). Upon such contribution,
sale and transfer, the ownership of each Timeshare Loan and all collections
allocable to principal and interest thereon after the related Cut-Off Date and
all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in
this Section 2(a) shall immediately vest in the Depositor, its successors and
assigns. The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership
nor claim any ownership interest in any Timeshare Loan for any purpose
whatsoever other than for federal and state income tax reporting, if applicable.
The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that the "credit risk" of the
Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder shall be borne by the Depositor and its
subsequent assignees.
(b) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the
contribution, sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Timeshare Loans
hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, at
least five Business Days prior to each Funding Date, to the Custodian all
related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan
Servicing Files.
(c) Collections. The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited
all collections in respect of Timeshare Loans received by the Seller or its
Affiliates after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account.
2
(d) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Depositor nor any
subsequent assignee of the Depositor shall have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Depositor or any subsequent assignee
have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. No such
obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Depositor or any
subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly
disclaimed.
SECTION 3. Intended Characterization; Grant of Security Interest. It
is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Timeshare Loans to
be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale, in part, and a
capital contribution, in part, by the Seller to the Depositor and not a loan
secured by such Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of
competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan
and not a sale and contribution, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor as of the date
hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets specified in Section 2
hereof and the proceeds thereof and that with respect to such transfer, this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the
event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, the amount of
interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this
Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum
non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any
applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious
rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted
for, charged or received (the "Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment
of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto
stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such
excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied
to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof
immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to
comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the
fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the
reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such
loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately
preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess
amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of
an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party
hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof.
The characterization of the Seller as "debtor" and the Depositor as
"secured party" in any such security agreement and any related financing
statements required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no
way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this
transaction be treated as a sale and contribution to the Depositor of the
Seller's entire right, title and interest in and to the Assets.
Each of the Seller, Club Trust, Club Trustee and any of their Affiliates
hereby agrees to make the appropriate entries in its general accounting records
to indicate that the Timeshare Loans have been transferred to the Depositor and
its subsequent assignees.
3

the Depositor. The obligations of the Depositor to purchase any Timeshare Loans

other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Depositor

reasonable opinion of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to
establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Depositor, the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare

4
(i) Due Incorporation; Valid Existence; Good Standing. It is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; and is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of
each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its
business or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement makes
such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified
will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated
hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any Timeshare
Loans.
(ii) Possession of Licenses, Certificates, Franchises and
Permits. It holds, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will
hold, all material licenses, certificates, franchises and permits from all
governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its business, and
has received no notice of proceedings relating to the revocation of any
such license, certificate, franchise or permit, which singly or in the
aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding,
would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or
thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any Timeshare Loans.
(iii) Corporate Authority and Power. It has, and at all times
during the term of this Agreement will have, all requisite corporate power
and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business, to execute
and deliver this Agreement and all documents and transactions contemplated
hereunder and to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and
any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the
transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder. The Seller has all
requisite corporate power and authority to acquire, own, transfer and
convey Timeshare Loans to the Depositor.
(iv) Authorization, Execution and Delivery Valid and Binding.
This Agreement and all other Transaction Documents and instruments
required or contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by the Seller
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and,
assuming the due execution and delivery by, the other party or parties
hereto and thereto, constitute legal, valid and binding agreements
enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms
subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution, moratorium and other similar applicable laws
affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally applicable in
the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or
dissolution, as applicable, of the Seller and to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law. This Agreement constitutes a valid
transfer of the Seller's interest in the Timeshare Loans to the Depositor
or, in the event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan,
the valid creation of a first priority perfected security interest in such
Timeshare Loans in favor of the Depositor.
5
(v) No Violation of Law, Rule, Regulation, etc. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and any other
Transaction Document to which it is a party do not and will not (A)
violate any of the provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws,
(B) violate any provision of any law, governmental rule or regulation
currently in effect applicable to it or its properties or by which the
Seller or its properties may be bound or affected, including, without
limitation, any bulk transfer laws, where such violation would have a
material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or
under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the
validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans, (C) violate any
judgment, decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order
currently in effect applicable to it or its properties or by which the
Seller or its properties are bound or affected, where such violation would
have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a
party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or
the validity or enforceability of any Timeshare Loans, (D) conflict with,
or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the
provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other
instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound where such
violation would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or
thereunder or the validity or enforceability of Timeshare Loans or (E)
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its
properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, contract or other instrument.
(vi) Governmental Consent. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or other
Governmental Authority in respect of the Seller is required which has not
been obtained in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or
performance by the Seller of this Agreement or any of the other

agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which it is a party or by

of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body, in
each case, which would have a material adverse effect on the transactions
contemplated hereunder or on its business, operations, financial condition
or assets, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or
both would constitute such a default with respect to any such agreement,
contract, instrument or indenture, or with respect to any such order of
any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body.
(viii) Insolvency. It is solvent and will not be rendered
insolvent by the transfer of any Timeshare Loans hereunder. On and after
the Closing Date, it will not
6
engage in any business or transaction the result of which would cause the
property remaining with it to constitute an unreasonably small amount of
capital.
(ix) Pending Litigation or Other Proceedings. Other than as
described on Schedule 5 hereto, there is no pending or, to its Knowledge,
threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court,
administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body against or
affecting it which, if decided adversely, would materially and adversely
affect (A) its condition (financial or otherwise), business or operations,
(B) its ability to perform its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement or any other documents or transactions
contemplated under this Agreement, (C) any Timeshare Loan or title of any
Obligor to any related Timeshare Property or (D) the Depositor's or any of
its assigns' ability to foreclose or otherwise enforce the liens of the
Mortgage Notes and the rights of the Obligors to use and occupy the
related Timeshare Properties.
(x) Information. No document, certificate or report furnished
or required to be furnished by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this
Agreement, in its capacity as Seller, contains or will contain when
furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or fails or will fail to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made.
There are no facts known to the Seller which, individually or in the
aggregate, materially adversely affect, or which (aside from general
economic trends) may reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect
in the future, the financial condition or assets or business of the
Seller, or which may impair the ability of the Seller to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, which have not been disclosed herein or
therein or in the certificates and other documents furnished to the
Depositor by or on behalf of the Seller specifically for use in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the financial statement
restatement discussed in the Seller's December 19, 2005 Form 8-K filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shall not constitute a
violation of this Section 5(a)(x).
(xi) Foreign Tax Liability. It is not aware of any Obligor
under a Timeshare Loan who has withheld any portion of payments due under
such Timeshare Loan because of the requirements of a foreign taxing
authority, and no foreign taxing authority has contacted it concerning a
withholding or other foreign tax liability.
(xii) Employee Benefit Plan Liability. As of the Closing Date
and each Funding Date, as applicable, (i) no "accumulated funding
deficiency" (as such term is defined under ERISA and the Code), whether or
not waived, exists with respect to any "employee pension benefit plan" (as

Multiemployer Plan"); and (iii) neither the Seller nor any of its
Affiliates has withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan with respect to which
there is any outstanding liability and, to the Seller's Knowledge, no
event has occurred or circumstance exists that presents a risk of the
occurrence of any withdrawal from, or the partition, termination,
reorganization or insolvency of, any Seller Multiemployer Plan that could
result in any liability to the Seller.
(xiii) Taxes. Other than as described on Schedule 5 hereto, it
(i) has filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) which it
reasonably believes are required to be filed and has paid or made adequate
provision in its GAAP financial statements for the payment of all taxes,
assessments and other governmental charges due from it or is contesting
any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge in good faith
through appropriate proceedings or except where the failure to file or pay
will not have a material adverse effect on the rights and interests of the
Depositor, (ii) knows of no basis for any material additional tax

all such taxes, assessments and governmental charges, if any, when due.

or Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

10
(d) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in
Section 5 which are made to the Seller's Knowledge, if it is discovered that any
representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the
Depositor or any subsequent assignee thereof, then notwithstanding such lack of
Knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such
representation or warranty was made (without regard to any Knowledge
qualifiers), such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or
warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described in
Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) below.
SECTION 6. Repurchases and Substitutions.
(a) Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of
Representations and Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by the Seller from
the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of any of the

representation or warranty was made) which materially and adversely affects the
value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Depositor or any subsequent
assignee of the Depositor (including the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on

respect to Original Club Loans prior to exercise of its repurchase option. To
the extent that the Seller shall elect to substitute Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loans for an Original Club Loan,
11
the Seller shall use its best efforts to cause each such Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loan to be, in the following order of priority, (i) the Upgrade Club
Loan related to such Original Club Loan and (ii) an Upgrade Club Loan unrelated
to such Original Club Loan.
(c) Optional Purchases or Substitutions of Defaulted Timeshare
Loans. The Depositor hereby irrevocably grants to the Seller any option to
repurchase or substitute Defaulted Club Loans it has under the Sale Agreement
and as described in the following sentence. With respect to Defaulted Timeshare
Loans on any date, the Seller will have the option, but not the obligation, to
either (i) purchase a related Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price
for such related Defaulted Timeshare Loan or (ii) substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such related Defaulted Timeshare Loan
and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any; provided, however,
that the Seller's option to purchase a related Defaulted Timeshare Loan or to
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a related
Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to the Optional Purchase Limit
and the Optional Substitution Limit, respectively. The Seller may irrevocably
waive its option to purchase or substitute a related Defaulted Timeshare Loan by
delivering to the Indenture Trustee a Waiver Letter in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto.
(d) Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts.
The Seller hereby agrees to remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in respect
of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts payable during the
related Due Period in immediately available funds to the Indenture Trustee to be
deposited in the Collection Account on the related Funding Date in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture. In the event that more than one Timeshare
Loan is replaced pursuant to Sections 6(a), (b) or (c) hereof on any Funding
Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all
substitutions made on such Funding Date.
(e) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Seller hereby agrees, on each
date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased, purchased or substituted,
to provide or cause to be provided to the Depositor, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee with a electronic supplement to the Schedule of Timeshare
Loans reflecting the removal and/or substitution of Timeshare Loans and
subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this
Agreement.
(f) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On the related Transfer
Date, the Seller hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the
Timeshare Loan Files relating to the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the
Indenture Trustee or to the Custodian, at the direction of the Indenture
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. As of such related
Transfer Date, the Seller does hereby transfer, assign, sell and grant to the
Depositor, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8
hereof), any and all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to (i)
each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Depositor on such
Transfer Date, (ii) the Receivables in respect of the Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare
Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the
Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare
Program Governing Documents), (iv) all Related Security in respect of such
Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and (v) all income, payments, proceeds and
other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing. Upon such sale,
12
the ownership of each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan and all collections
allocable to principal and interest thereon since the related Cut-Off Date and
all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in
this Section 6(f) shall immediately vest in the Depositor, its successors and
assigns. The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership
nor claim any ownership interest in any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for
any purpose whatsoever other than consolidated financial and federal and state
income tax reporting. The Seller agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare
Loans shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall thereafter
be deemed a "Timeshare Loan" for the purposes of this Agreement.
(g) Officer's Certificate for Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans.
The Seller shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify or cause to be
certified in writing to the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that
each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of "Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loan" and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such
Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Custodian or
shall be delivered within five Business Days, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan
Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been
delivered to the Servicer.
(h) Release. In connection with any repurchase, purchase or
substitution of one or more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon
satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section 6, the Depositor, the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the
execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or
assignment presented to it by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee the legal and
beneficial ownership of such Timeshare Loans; provided, however, that with
respect to any release of a Timeshare Loan that is substituted by a Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not
execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such releases and
instruments of transfer or assignment until the Agent and the Servicer receive a
Custodian's Certification for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan. The
Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to
release the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Seller or its designee and the
Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Seller or
its designee; provided, however, that with respect to any Timeshare Loan File or
Timeshare Loan Servicing File related to a Timeshare Loan that has been
substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall not cause the Custodian and the Servicer to release the
related Timeshare Loan File and the Timeshare Loan Servicing File, respectively,
until the Agent and the Servicer receive a Custodian's Certification for such
Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.
(i) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of
the Seller contained in Section 6(a) to cure a material breach, or to repurchase
or substitute Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of the Seller to
indemnify pursuant to Section 8, shall constitute the sole remedies available to
the Depositor or its subsequent assignees for the breaches of any representation
or warranty contained in Section 5 and such remedies are not intended to and do
not constitute "credit recourse" to the Seller.
13
SECTION 7. Additional Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby
covenants and agrees with the Depositor as follows:
(a) It shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders
applicable to it and its business and properties except where the failure to
comply will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or
thereunder or the validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.
(b) It shall preserve and maintain its existence (corporate or
otherwise), rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its
organization and except where the failure to so preserve and maintain will not
have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it
is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the
validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.
(c) On each Funding Date, as applicable, it shall indicate in its
and its Affiliates' computer files and other records that each Timeshare Loan
has been sold to the Depositor.
(d) It shall respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a
Timeshare Loan by stating that such Timeshare Loan has been sold to the
Depositor and that the Depositor is the owner of such Timeshare Loan.
(e) On or prior to the Closing Date, it shall file or cause to be
filed, at its own expense, financing statements in favor of the Depositor, and,
if applicable, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders, with respect to the Timeshare Loans, in the form and manner
reasonably requested by the Depositor or its assigns. The Seller shall deliver
file-stamped copies of such financing statements to the Depositor, the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders.
(f) It agrees from time to time to, at its expense, promptly execute
and deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further
actions, that may be necessary, or that the Depositor, the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the sale and contribution of the Timeshare Loans to the Depositor, or
to enable the Depositor to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder or under any Timeshare Loan including, but not limited to, powers of
attorney, UCC financing statements and assignments of mortgage. It hereby
appoints the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as
attorneys-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is
therefore irrevocable, to act on behalf and in the name of the Seller under this
Section 7(f).
(g) Any change in the legal name of the Seller and any use by it of
any tradename, fictitious name, assumed name or "doing business as" name
occurring after the Closing Date shall be promptly within ten Business Days
disclosed to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee in writing.
14
(h) Upon the discovery or receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer
of the Seller of a breach of any of its representations or warranties and
covenants contained herein, the Seller shall promptly disclose to the Depositor,
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, in reasonable detail, the nature of such
breach.
(i) Except to the extent of any payments received with respect to a
Credit Card Timeshare Loan, in the event that the Seller shall receive any
payments in respect of a Timeshare Loan after the Closing Date or Funding Date,
as applicable, the Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt,
transfer or cause to be transferred, such payments to the Lockbox Account.
Payments received by the Seller with respect to Credit Card Timeshare Loans,
without regard to any discount fees, shall be transferred to the Lockbox Account
within five Business Days.
(j) The Seller will keep its principal place of business and chief
executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the
Timeshare Loans at the address of Bluegreen listed herein and shall notify the
parties hereto of any change to the same at least 30 days prior thereto.
(k) In the event that the Seller or the Depositor or any assignee of
the Depositor receives actual notice of any transfer taxes arising out of the
transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Timeshare Loan to the Depositor, on
written demand by the Depositor, or upon the Seller otherwise being given notice
thereof, the Seller shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold the Depositor,
or any subsequent assignee, harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against
any and all such transfer taxes.
(l) The Seller authorizes the Depositor, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee to file continuation statements, and amendments thereto,
relating to the Timeshare Loans and all payments made with regard to the related
Timeshare Loans without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A
photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement where permitted by law. The Depositor confirms that it is
not its present intention to file a photocopy or other reproduction of this
Agreement as a financing statement, but reserves the right to do so if, in its
good faith determination, there is at such time no reasonable alternative
remaining to it.
(m) The Seller agrees, in its consolidated balance sheet, to
properly disclose and account for the transfer of Timeshare Loans hereunder as
an on balance sheet transaction under and in accordance with GAAP.
SECTION 8. Indemnification.
(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Purchasers and the Agent (collectively,
the "Indemnified Parties") against any and all claims, losses, liabilities,
(including reasonable legal fees and related costs) that the Depositor, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Agent may sustain directly
related to any breach of the representations and warranties of the Seller under
Section 5 hereof (the "Indemnified Amounts") excluding, however (i) Indemnified
Amounts to the extent
15
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Indemnified Party; (ii) any recourse for any uncollectible Timeshare Loan not
related to a breach of representation or warranty; (iii) recourse to the Seller
for a Defective Timeshare Loan so long as the same is cured, substituted or
repurchased pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (iv) income, franchise or similar
taxes by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement
or the transfer of the Timeshare Loans; (v) Indemnified Amounts attributable to
any violation by an Indemnified Party of any Requirement of Law related to an
Indemnified Party; or (vi) the operation or administration of the Indemnified
Party generally and not related to the enforcement of this Agreement. The Seller
shall (A) promptly notify the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee if a claim is
made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Timeshare Loans, and
relating to (i) the failure by the Seller to perform its duties in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) a breach of the Seller's
representations, covenants and warranties contained in this Agreement, (B)
assume (with the consent of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Noteholders or the Agent, as applicable, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) the defense of any such claim and (C) pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including legal counsel fees and promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment, order or decree which may be entered against it or the
Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Agent in
respect of such claim. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payment
pursuant to this Section 8 and the recipient thereafter collects from another
Person any amount relating to the matters covered by the foregoing indemnity,
the recipient shall promptly repay such amount to the Seller.
(b) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 8 to indemnify
the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Agent
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and continue until the Notes are
paid in full or otherwise released or discharged.
SECTION 9. No Proceedings. The Seller hereby agrees that it will
not, directly or indirectly, institute, or cause to be instituted, or join any
Person in instituting, against the Depositor or any Association, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law so long as
there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the latest maturing
Notes issued by the Issuer.
SECTION 10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing and
mailed or telecommunicated, or delivered as to each party hereto, at its address

any assignee thereof. The Depositor may, and intends to, assign all of its
rights hereunder to the Issuer and the Seller consents to any such assignment.
This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the

of interest;
(c) the Obligor thereunder has made a down payment by cash, check or
credit card of at least 10% of the actual purchase price (including

may, (i) in the case of Upgraded Club Loans, be represented by the
principal payments on such timeshare loan since its date of
origination and (ii) in the case of a Sampler Converted Loan, be
represented in whole or in part by payments made on the related
Sampler Loan) and no part of such payment has been made or loaned to
Obligor by Bluegreen or an Affiliate thereof;
(d) as of the related Cut-Off Date, no principal or interest due with
respect to the Timeshare Loan is 31 days or more delinquent;
(e) the Obligor is not an Affiliate of Bluegreen or any Subsidiary;
provided, that solely for the purposes of this representation, a
relative of an employee and employees of Bluegreen or any Subsidiary
(or any of its Affiliates) shall not be deemed to be an "Affiliate"
(unless such person is an "affiliate" (as defined under GAAP) of
Bluegreen);
(f) immediately prior to the conveyance of the Timeshare Loan to the
Depositor, the Seller will own full legal and equitable title to
such Timeshare Loan, and the Timeshare Loan (and the related
Timeshare Property) is free and clear of adverse claims, liens and
encumbrances and is not subject to claims of rescission, invalidity,
unenforceability, illegality, defense, offset, abatement,
diminution, recoupment, counterclaim or participation or ownership
interest in favor of any other Person;
(g) the Timeshare Loan (other than an Aruba Loan) is secured directly by
a first priority Mortgage on the related purchased Timeshare
Property;
(h) with respect to each Deeded Club Loan, the Timeshare Property
mortgaged by or at the direction of the related Obligor constitutes
a fractional fee simple timeshare interest in real property at the
related Resort that entitles the holder of the interest to the use
of a specific property for a specified number of days each year or
every other year, subject to the rules of the Bluegreen Vacation
Club; the related
I-1
Mortgage has been delivered for filing and recordation with all
appropriate governmental authorities in all jurisdictions in which
such Mortgage is required to be filed and recorded to create a
valid, binding and enforceable first Lien on the related Timeshare
Property and such Mortgage creates a valid, binding and enforceable
first Lien on the related Timeshare Property, subject only to
Permitted Liens; and the Seller is in compliance with any Permitted
Lien respecting the right to the use of such Timeshare Property;
each of the Assignments of Mortgage and each related endorsement of

Documents have been duly and properly executed by such parties; any
amendments to such related Timeshare Loan Documents required as a
result of any mergers involving the Seller or its predecessors, to
maintain the rights of the Seller or its predecessors thereunder as

the related Obligor, such Originator or the Club Trustee had full
power and authority to originate such Timeshare Loan and the Obligor
had good and indefeasible fee title or good and marketable fee
simple title, or, in the case of an Aruba Loan, a cooperative
interest, as applicable, to the Timeshare Property related to such
Timeshare Loan, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted
Liens;
(k) the related Mortgage (or, in the case of an Aruba Loan, the related
Finance Agreement or Owner Beneficiary Agreement) contains customary
and enforceable provisions so as to render the rights and remedies
of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
related Timeshare Property of the benefits of the security interests
or lender's contractual rights intended to be provided thereby,
including (a) if the Mortgage is a deed of trust, by trustee's sale,

policy issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the related Timeshare Property is located in a
form generally acceptable to prudent originators of similar mortgage
loans, insuring the Seller or its predecessor and its successors and
assigns, as to the first priority mortgage Lien of the related
Mortgage in an amount equal to the outstanding Loan Balance of such
Timeshare Loan, and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to
the Indenture Trustee; the Seller or its assignees is a named
insured of such mortgagee's title insurance policy; such mortgagee's
title insurance policy is in full force and effect; no claims have
been made under such mortgagee's title insurance policy and no prior

which would impair the coverage of such mortgagee's title insurance
policy; no premiums for such mortgagee's title insurance policy,
endorsements and all special endorsements are past due;
(n) the Seller has not taken (or omitted to take), and has no notice

paid as to the related Timeshare Loan;

or (y) in accordance with the Credit Policy, the Collection Policy

modification; the Obligor has not been released from liability on or
with respect to the Timeshare Loan, in whole or in part; if required
by law or prudent originators of similar loans in the jurisdiction
where the related Timeshare Property is located, all waivers,
alterations and modifications have been filed and/or recorded in all
places necessary to perfect,
I-3
maintain and continue a valid first priority Lien of the related

Schedule 5
In March 2006, the Tennessee Audit Division (the "Division") advised
Bluegreen that rather than follow through with its intention to impose a sales
tax on sales of vacation ownership interests in Tennessee, it intends to seek to
impose a sales tax on the use of accommodations in Bluegreen's Tennessee
properties by Bluegreen's customers. The division has not commenced an audit of
these transactions and it has not yet identified the years that they intend to
audit. The Division's previous audits covered the period from December 1, 2001
through December 31, 2004. The Division has not formally assessed the
accommodations tax yet, nor have they estimated the amount they are intending to
assess. While in the past the timeshare industry has been successful in avoiding
the imposition by various states of sales tax on the reservation and use of
accommodations by timeshare owners, there is no assurance that no such taxes
will be imposed. Bluegreen intends to vigorously oppose any assessment of
accommodations tax by the Division.
Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P., ("Southwest"), a subsidiary of Bluegreen,
is the developer of the Mountain Lakes subdivision in Texas. One of the lakes
that is an amenity in the development has not filled to the expected level. This
condition has resulted in consumer complaints from property owners. Southwest is
investigating the causes for the failure of the lake to fill. Bluegreen is
unable to predict the results of this investigation, the potential cost to
correct the condition or the consequences in the event that the condition cannot
be corrected.
Also related to the Mountain Lakes subdivision is litigation related to
the development of mineral rights within the subdivision. In April 2006, in
Xxxxxx, et xx x. Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. acting through its general
partner Bluegreen Southwest Land, Inc., et al, Cause No. 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx of
the 266th Judicial District, Erath County, Texas, plaintiffs filed a First
Amended Original Petition (April 2006). Pursuant to this First Amended Original
Petition, plaintiffs seek to develop mineral interests in the Mountain Lakes
subdivision and to recover damages from Southwest, alleging breach of contract,
breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with existing and prospective
relationships and intentional invasion or interference with property rights by
Southwest, for allegedly interfering with the development of mineral rights held
by plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' claims against Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. total in
the aggregate $25 million. Bluegreen is still in the process of reviewing
plaintiffs' allegations; however, based on the information currently available,
Bluegreen believes that the claims lack merit and intends to defend vigorously
against them.
