(ii) Application of Funds. All amounts received by Lender
shall be applied by Lender on a weekly basis beginning on the last

RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
17
demand, Borrower shall pay the difference to Lender within the first seven
(7) days of the next succeeding week.
(iii) Borrower's Receipt of Payments. In the event Borrower
receives any payments on any of the Pledged Notes Receivable directly from
or on behalf of the maker or makers thereof, Borrower shall receive all
such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, and
Borrower shall deliver to the Lockbox Agent all such payments (in the form
so received from Borrower) as and when received by Borrower unless Lender
shall have notified Borrower to deliver directly to Lender all payments in
respect of the Pledged Notes Receivable which may be received by Borrower,
in which event all such payments (in the form received) shall be endorsed
by Borrower to Lender and delivered to Lender promptly upon Borrower's
receipt thereof.
(b) Final Payment. Notwithstanding any term, provision, or condition
hereof to the contrary, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan,
together with any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other
Obligations, shall be paid in full via wire transfer by Borrower to Lender on or
before the Maturity Date, as such may be extended pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) Payment of Fees. Borrower agrees to pay Lender each of the
following fees:
(i) Commitment Fee -- $500,000 is non-refundable and deemed
earned at Closing and payable on the Closing Date; and
(ii) Unused Line Fee -- which is due commencing on the first
day of the seventh (7th) month following the Closing Date and is payable
monthly in arrears by the first Business Day of the following month during
the term of the Loan; and which at such time shall automatically be paid
from the proceeds of the Lockbox Account; provided, that the Unused Line
Fee shall cease to accrue during any time the outstanding principal amount
of the Loan exceeds $20,000,000.
2.5 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Loan may not be prepaid in whole
during the Revolving Credit Period; provided, however, subject to the terms of
this Agreement, Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, upon any
whole loan sale, off balance sheet conduit sale or securitization, upon thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to Lender, so long as the Loan or this Agreement
shall not be terminated. Any such prepayment must include all outstanding
principal, accrued but unpaid interest, and all other Obligations.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time and for any reason, the
outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of
the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall either (A) prepay the principal balance of
the Loan in an amount equal to the difference between the then aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the amount of the Borrowing Base,
or (B) increase the aggregate principal amount of Eligible Notes Receivable,
pledged to Lender so that the Borrowing Base exceeds the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loan. The pledge and delivery to Lender of additional
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
18
Eligible Notes Receivable shall comply with the document delivery and
recordation requirements set forth in Section 4.2(b) of this Agreement and shall
be accompanied by a written certification of Borrower to the effect that such
additional Pledged Notes Receivable are Eligible Notes Receivable and that,
giving effect to the pledge to Lender of such Eligible Note Receivable, the
outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan is equal to or less than the
Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall prepay the entire
outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan upon repayment in full of
the Loan and termination of this Agreement prior to the Maturity Date.
2.6 Reassignment by Lender. In the event (a) the obligation under a
Pledged Note Receivable and the related Timeshare Interest Mortgage has been
satisfied in full by its maker or makers and all amounts paid thereunder
actually received in good funds by Lender, (b) Borrower replaces a Pledged Note
Receivable with an Eligible Note Receivable in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, or (c) another event occurs pursuant to which Lender in its
reasonable discretion agrees with Borrower that a Pledged Note Receivable shall
be returned to Borrower and Lender's lien with respect to the related Timeshare
Interest Mortgage shall be released, Lender, upon receipt of a written request
from Borrower, shall promptly reassign any Timeshare Interest Mortgage and
endorse the related Pledged Note Receivable to Borrower, without recourse, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit "G" Lender shall cause all original
collateral files related thereto to be returned to Borrower.
2.7 Breakage Costs. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender any amount
necessary to compensate Lender for any losses or costs sustained by Lender if
the Loan, or any portion thereof, is prepaid for any reason whatsoever on any
date other than the Maturity Date or as the consequence of the breaking of any
LIBOR contract.
2.8 Additional Increased Costs. In the event that after the date of this
Agreement, any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change
therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender
(for purposes of this Section 2.9, the term "Lender" shall include Lender and
any corporation or bank controlling Lender) and the office or branch where
Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains the Loan with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
financial, monetary or other authority, shall:
(a) subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or change the basis of taxation of
payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (except for changes in the rate of
tax on the overall net income of Lender by the jurisdiction in which it
maintains its principal office);
(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for
the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of
Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or
(c) impose on Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any
other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document;
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
19
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender
of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan hereunder by an amount that Lender
deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of the Loan by an amount that
Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrower shall promptly pay
Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Lender for
such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR
Rate. Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount
to Borrower, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.9 Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event
that Lender shall have determined that:
(a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate
for the Loan;
(b) dollar deposits for three months are not available in the London
interbank Eurodollar market; or
(c) any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any
change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it
unlawful for Lender (for purposes of this subsection the term "Lender" shall
include the office or branch where Lender or any corporation or bank controlling
such Lender makes or maintains the Loans) to make or maintain the Loan;
then Lender shall give Borrower prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice
of such determination.
2.10 Notes. Borrower agrees that:
(a) upon written notice by Lender to Borrower that a promissory note
or other evidence of indebtedness is requested by Lender to evidence the Loan
and other obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, Lender, Borrower
promptly shall (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such
request) execute and deliver to Lender an appropriate promissory note or notes
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower, payable to
the order of Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of the Loan owing
or payable to Lender;
(b) all references to "Note" or "Notes" in the Loan Documents shall
mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued (and not returned to Borrower for
cancellation) hereunder, as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified,
divided and/or restated and in effect from time to time; and
(c) upon Lender's written request, and in any event within three (3)
Business Days of any such request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender
new Notes and/or split or divide the Notes, or any of them, in exchange for the
then existing subject Notes, in such smaller amounts or denominations as Lender
shall specify; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such new, split
or divided Notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding at the time such request is made; and provided, further, that such
Notes
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
20
that are replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and
replaced by such new Notes and returned to Borrower within a reasonable period
of time after Lender's receipt of the replacement Notes.
(d) Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of
the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any Notes and the ownership
thereof, Borrower shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Notes,
execute and deliver in replacement thereof new Notes in the same form, in the
same original principal amount and dated the same date as the Notes so
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen; and such Notes so mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder. If the
Notes being replaced have been mutilated, they shall be surrendered to Borrower;
and if such replaced Notes have been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder
shall furnish Borrower with an indemnity in writing to indemnify, defend and
save it harmless in respect of such replaced Notes.

fire, lightning, wind damage (inclusive of hurricane and tornado), water
damage, vandalism, and malicious mischief coverage) covering all real and
personal property that comprises the Property, in an amount not less than
the full replacement value of such improvements and personal property, and

"institutional mortgagee," "institutional lender," "mortgagee, or "secured

part of the Property or insurance claims or matters related thereto or any

lender), to approve all such matters and any proposed changes in respect
thereof; and Borrower shall not cause and shall use its best efforts to prohibit
any material changes with respect to any insurance policies, insurers, coverage,
attorney-in-fact or insurance trustee, if any, without Lender's prior written
approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
In the event of any insured loss or claim in respect of all or any
portion of the Property, Borrower shall cause all proceeds of such insurance
policies to be applied in a manner consistent with the Timeshare Documents
and/or all Applicable Laws.

benefits thereunder, despite any violation of the applicable policy terms by

of each policy maintained pursuant to this Section 6.1(c), a certified copy of a
renewal or replacement thereof satisfactory to Lender shall be delivered to
Lender, along with evidence satisfactory to Lender that the premium therefor has
been paid in full. The delivery of any insurance policies hereunder shall
constitute an assignment of all unearned premiums as further security for the
Obligations. In the event that all required premium payments for all such
insurance policies are not paid at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of each policy maintained pursuant to this Section 6.1(c),
Borrower shall, immediately upon receiving notice thereof, notify Lender in
writing of such failure to timely pay the required insurance premiums. Borrower
shall make a good faith inquiry on a regular basis to the Silverleaf Club to
determine whether all insurance premiums for which it is responsible with
respect to insurance on all or any portion of the Collateral have been timely
paid. If Borrower determines upon such inquiry or otherwise that any required
insurance premiums have not been paid, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender
of such failure to timely pay the required insurance premium, and Borrower shall
have thirty (30) days from receipt of a written request from Lender to cause the
required insurance premiums to be paid. If the required insurance premiums are
not paid within such thirty (30) day period, Lender may, in its sole discretion,
without any obligation to do so, choose to pay such required insurance premiums,
in which case Borrower shall pay Lender interest at the Default Rate on any
amounts so advanced. Lender may also, in its sole discretion, in the event any
required insurance premiums are not paid when due, establish an insurance escrow
account from which Lender may make insurance payments when insurance premiums
shall become due. If any required insurance premiums are not paid as required
and Lender elects not to pay such insurance premiums or establish an escrow
account for payment thereof, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder.
In the event of any fire or other casualty to or with respect to all
or any portion of the Property, Borrower covenants that it shall use
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt restoration, repair, or
replacement of the damaged portion(s) or the Property and the repair or
replacement of any other personal property to the same condition as immediately
prior to such fire or other casualty and, with respect to the real and personal
property comprising the Property, in accordance with the terms of the Timeshare
Documents and/or all Applicable Laws. The insufficiency of any net insurance
proceeds shall in no way relieve Borrower from its obligations as set forth
herein. In Lender's sole discretion, any and all insurance proceeds payable to
or received by Lender pursuant to the Declaration or the applicable insurance
policies may be applied to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due
and in whatever order Lender elects, consistent with the terms of the applicable
insurance policy and the Declaration.
Borrower shall in good faith cooperate with Lender (to the extent
Lender's rights are not adverse to the rights of any other lender) in obtaining
for Lender the benefits of any insurance or other proceeds lawfully or equitably
payable to Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
in paying any Obligation (including the payment by Borrower of the expense of an
independent appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty
affecting the Property).

(d) Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower shall execute and deliver
(or cause to be executed and delivered) to Lender all security agreements,
financing statements, assignments, and such other agreements, documents,
instruments, and certificates, and all supplements and amendments thereto, and
take all such other actions, as Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order
to maintain as valid, enforceable, and perfected first priority Liens and
security interests, all Liens and security interests in the Collateral granted
to Lender to secure the Obligations. Except as described in Section 1.34,
Borrower shall not grant extensions of time for the payment of, or compromise
for less than the full face value or release in whole or in part, any Purchaser
or other Person liable for the payment of, or allow any credit whatsoever except
for the amount of cash to be paid upon, any Pledged Note Receivable, or any
other instrument, chattel paper, or document that constitutes the Collateral.

be paid, prior to becoming delinquent, all taxes, charges, and assessments of
any kind imposed on or with respect to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents,

Encumbered Timeshare Interests, together with any revenue, income, or profits
derived therefrom. To the extent that any such taxes, charges, or assessments
are payable by the Silverleaf Club or Orlando Breeze Resort Club, Borrower shall
make good faith inquiry on a regular basis to determine whether all such taxes,
charges, and assessments have been paid. Borrower shall immediately notify
Lender in writing of any failure to timely pay any such taxes, charges, or
assessments. In the event that Lender determines (through notice or otherwise)
that any such taxes, charges, or assessments have not been paid when due,
Borrower shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of a written request for
payment from Lender to cause the required taxes, charges, or assessments to be
paid. If such required taxes, charges, and assessments (and any applicable late
charges and interest) are not paid within such thirty (30) day period, Lender
may, in its sole discretion, without any obligation to do so, choose to pay such
taxes, charges, or assessments on behalf of Borrower, in which case Borrower
shall pay Lender interest at the Default Rate on any amounts so advanced. In the
event Lender elects not to pay the required taxes, charges, or assessments and
the same are not paid as set forth above, such failure shall constitute an Event
of Default hereunder. Borrower shall pay, where applicable, on a timely basis
all other charges and assessments levied against Borrower, the Property (to the
extent charges and assessments are due from Borrower) or any other Collateral,
including but not limited to the Encumbered Timeshare Interests, together with
any revenue, income, or profits derived therefrom (including, without
limitation, claims for labor, services, materials, or supplies). Except for the
Liens in favor of Lender granted pursuant to the Loan Documents, and except as
otherwise specifically provided for herein, Borrower covenants and agrees that
in the event that any statutory or other Lien (including, without limitation,
any mechanics', materialmen's, judgment, or tax liens) attaches to any of the
Collateral (except for the Permitted Liens and Encumbrances), Borrower shall,
within thirty (30) days after any such Lien attaches, either (i) cause such Lien

assets, including but not limited to all documents,

bank statements, and other records within Borrower's possession, custody, or
control, and to examine and make copies and abstracts thereof; and to discuss
its affairs, finances, and accounts with any of their officers, employees,
Affiliates, contractors, or independent certified public accountants (and by
this provision, Borrower authorizes said accountants to discuss with Lender, its
agents or representatives, the affairs, finances, and accounts of Borrower).
Without limiting the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to make such credit
investigations as Lender may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, in
connection with its review of any Notes Receivable. Borrower shall make
available to Lender all such credit and other information in its custody,
possession, or control or to which it may have access with respect to any
Purchasers or other obligors with respect to any Notes Receivable as Lender may
request. Unless not required by Lender, Borrower agrees to meet with Lender on a
quarterly basis in person or by teleconference.

purposes of this Section 6.1(dd), and for no other purpose, section or reference
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the term, "Property-Related
Contracts" shall not include sales and marketing agreements or contracts related
to the sales of Timeshare Interests, or any employment related agreements or
contracts between Borrower and either (i) any Executive Management Member or
(ii) any member of senior management of Borrower.
6.2 Negative Covenants. For so long as any portion of the Obligations
remains unsatisfied, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as
follows:
(a) Limitation on Other Liens/Further Encumbrances of Collateral and
Other Property. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be
granted, withheld, or conditioned, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion,
Borrower shall not obtain financing or grant Liens with respect to all or any
portion of the Collateral (whether now existing or created hereafter) other than
those in favor of Lender and the Permitted Liens and Encumbrances.
(b) No Other Indebtedness. Borrower shall not incur any Indebtedness
for borrowed money secured by all or any Collateral without Lenders' prior
written consent; provided, however, that in the event Borrower enters into a
credit facility for borrowed money from any other senior lender providing
indebtedness to Borrower, Borrower shall use its best efforts to provide to
Lender an Intercreditor Agreement related to such credit facility and the
collateral granted to such other senior lender related thereto.
(c) Restrictions on Transfers, Consolidations, and Mergers. Except
for the Permitted Liens and Encumbrances, Borrower shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Lender (which consent may be given, withheld, or
conditioned by Lender, in Lender's sole discretion), whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise: (i) transfer, sell, pledge,
convey, hypothecate, factor, or assign all or any portion of the Collateral,
other than the sale of Timeshare Interests in the ordinary course of Borrower's
business; or (ii) lease or license any portion of the Collateral, or change the
legal or actual possession or use thereof. Without limiting the generality of
the preceding sentence, and subject to the terms of
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
49
this Agreement, the prior written consent of Lender shall be required for (A)
any transfer of the Collateral or any part thereof to a subsidiary or other
Affiliate of Borrower or otherwise; or (B) any merger or consolidation,
disposition, or other reorganization of Borrower other than any such merger or
consolidation, disposition, or other reorganization of Borrower after the
consummation of which Borrower is the surviving entity and for which Lender has
given its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that in the event Lender does not consent to such merger or
consolidation and Borrower elects to close such transaction, Borrower shall have
the right to refinance Lender and pay to Lender in cash in full all outstanding
Obligations hereunder (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon). In the
event that Lender, in its reasonable discretion, is willing to consent to a
transfer that would otherwise be prohibited by this Section 6.2(c), Lender may
condition its consent on such terms and conditions as it desires, including,
without limitation, an increase in the Interest Rate and the requirement that
Borrower pay a transfer fee, together with any expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with the granting of such consent (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses). If Borrower violates the terms of this Section
6.2(c), in addition to any other rights or remedies that Lender may have
hereunder, pursuant to any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, Lender
may, upon written notice to Borrower, increase, effective immediately as of the
date of such violation, the Interest Rate to the Default Rate.
(d) Transactions with Affiliates. Without the prior written consent
of Lender, Borrower shall not enter into any transaction with any Affiliate
thereof in connection with all or any portion of the Collateral, except in the
ordinary course of Borrower's business with terms equivalent to an otherwise
"arms-length" transaction.
(e) Name Change. Borrower shall not change its name, its chief
executive office, or the locations at which it does business without providing
Lender at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof and executing, at
Borrower's sole expense, such UCC-3 amendments and all other documents and
instruments as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order to continue the perfection of its Lien in and to all of the
Collateral.
(f) Collateral. Borrower shall not take any action (or permit or
consent to the taking of any action) that might materially impair the value of
all or any portion of the Collateral of the rights of Lender with respect to the
Collateral, nor shall Borrower cause or permit any material amendment to or
modification of the form or terms of any of the Pledged Notes Receivable (except
as provided for in Section 1.34), or Timeshare Documents, including but not
limited to the Declaration, without Lender's prior written consent.
(g) Timeshare Documents. Without Lender's prior written consent,
Borrower shall not in any material respect amend or modify or terminate the
Declaration or other Timeshare Documents.
(h) Marketing/Sales. Borrower shall not market, attempt to sell or
sell or permit or justify any sales or attempted sales of any Timeshare
Interests except in compliance with the Timeshare Act and Applicable Laws in the
states and other jurisdictions where marketing, sales or solicitation activities
occur. Borrower shall not sell more than fifty-two (52) Timeshare Interests in
any Unit in the Receivables Loan Approved Resorts.
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
50
(i) Collateral. Borrower shall not take any action (nor permit or
consent to the taking of any action) which might reasonably be anticipated to
impair the value of the Collateral or any rights of Lender in the Collateral.
(j) Distributions. After the occurrence and during the continuation
of any Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall not make or pay any
distribution (in cash or property) for so long as any Obligations or other
amounts are outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(k) Maximum Delinquency. Borrower will not permit as of the last day
of each calendar month, for the immediately preceding twelve (12) calendar
months, on a rolling twelve (12) month basis, its over 30-day delinquency rate
on its entire Notes Receivable portfolio serviced by Borrower (including,
without limitation, all Pledged Notes Receivable and all Notes Receivable
pledged pursuant to the Textron Facility, the DZ Facility and the Sovereign
Facility) to be greater than ten percent (10%).
(l) Net Income. Borrower shall not have a Consolidated Net Income of
less than $0.00 for any two (2) consecutive calendar quarters.
(m) Maximum Sales Costs. As of the last day of each calendar
quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2005, Borrower
will not permit the four quarter cumulative ratio of Marketing and Sales Costs
to the Borrower's net proceeds from the sale of Timeshare Interests as recorded
on the Borrower's financial statements for the immediately preceding four (4)
consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower to equal or exceed a ratio of .550
to 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower delivers written
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the above-referenced ratio is no longer
required to be tested under each of the Textron Facility and the Sovereign
Facility, such ratio shall not be tested under this Agreement.
SECTION 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An "Event of Default" shall exist if any of the following occurs:
7.1 Payment Default. If Borrower fails to make, as and when due, whether
by acceleration or otherwise, any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal,

Agreement (other than defaults relating to Sections 6.1(f), 6.1(t), 6.1(u),
6.1(v), 6.1(w) and Section 6.2 hereof, for which there shall be no cure period)
or in any of the other Loan Documents and such failure shall continue for
fifteen (15) days after notice of such failure is provided by Lender to

by or on behalf of Borrower in this Agreement, in any of the other Loan

connection with the Loan is or becomes invalid or unenforceable or is not, or
ceases to be, a perfected first priority Lien in favor of Lender encumbering the

become a valid, enforceable, first and prior Lien in a manner satisfactory to
Lender, in its sole discretion, within five (5) days after Lender delivers

forty-five (45) days, or if any material asset of Borrower is sequestered by
court order and such order remains in effect for more than sixty (60) days.
7.7 Voluntary Proceedings. If Borrower voluntarily seeks, consents to, or
acquiesces in the benefit of any provision of any Debtor Relief Law, whether now
or hereafter in effect, consents to the filing of any petition against it under
such law, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, admits in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or consents

fraudulent with respect to Lender.
7.10 Timeshare Documents. If the Declaration, any of the other documents
creating or governing any Receivables Loan Approved Resort, its timeshare regime
or the Timeshare Association, or the restrictive covenants with respect to such

RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
53
SECTION 8. REMEDIES
8.1 Remedies Upon Default. Should a Default or an Event of Default occur,
Lender may immediately take any one (1) or more of the actions described in this
Section 8, all without notice to Borrower:
(a) Acceleration. Declare the unpaid balance of the Loan, or any
part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due and
payable to Lender.
(b) Termination of Obligation to Advance. Terminate any commitment
or obligation of Lender hereunder to make Advances of the Loan in its entirety,
or any portion of any such commitment, and/or terminate Lender's further
performance under this Agreement and/or any other document or instrument to
which Lender and Borrower (or any Affiliate of Borrower) are parties, without
further liability or obligation to Borrower, to the extent Lender shall deem
appropriate.
(c) Judgment. Reduce Lender's claim to judgment, foreclose, and/or
otherwise enforce each Lien and security interest of Lender in and to all or any
part of the Collateral by any judicial or other procedure available to Lender.
(d) Sale of Collateral. Exercise all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected
Collateral), including (i) require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that
it will, at its expense and upon request of Lender forthwith, assemble all or
part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at
a place to be designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both
parties; (ii) enter upon any premises of Borrower and take possession of the
Collateral; and (iii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one (1) or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of Lender's offices or elsewhere, at
such time or times, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and at such
price or prices and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially
reasonable. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required
by law, ten (10) days' notice of the time and place of any sale shall constitute
reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by law,
Lender may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of
cancellation of indebtedness) for the purchase of the Collateral or any portion
thereof for the account of Lender. Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency. Lender shall not be required to proceed against any Collateral but
may proceed against any or Borrower directly. To the extent permitted by law,
Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal
that it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter enacted.
(e) Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, retain such portion
of the Collateral as shall aggregate in value to an amount equal to the total
amount owed by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, in satisfaction of the
Obligations, whenever the circumstances are such that Lender is entitled and
elects to do so under applicable law.
(f) Receiver. Apply by appropriate procedures for the appointment of
a receiver who shall have the authority to enter upon and take possession of any
or all of the Collateral, collect the rents and profits generated therefrom, and
apply the same as the court may
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
54
direct. Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment. The receiver shall
have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of
Texas.
(g) Purchase of Collateral. Buy all or any part of the Collateral at
any public or private sale.
(h) Exercise of Other Rights. Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Code and other legal and equitable rights
to which it may be entitled, including, without limitation, and without notice
to Borrower, the right to continue to collect all payments made on the Pledged
Notes Receivable and to apply such payments to the Obligations, and to xxx in
its own name the other maker of any defaulted Pledged Note Receivable. Lender
may also exercise any and all other rights or remedies afforded by any other
Applicable Laws or by the Loan Documents, as Lender shall deem appropriate, at
law, in equity, or otherwise, including but not limited to the right to bring
suit or other proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant or
condition contained in the Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right
or remedy granted to Lender in the Loan Documents. Lender shall also have the
right to require Borrower to assemble any of the Collateral not in Lender's
possession, at Borrower's expense, and make it available to Lender at a place to
be determined by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and
Lender shall have the right to take immediate possession of all or any portion
of the Collateral and may enter the Receivables Loan Approved Resorts or any of
the premises of Borrower or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or
without process of law wherever the Collateral may be, and, to the extent such
premises are not the property of Lender, to keep and store the same on said
premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of Borrower, Borrower
agrees not to charge Lender for use and occupancy, rent, or storage of the
Collateral, for a period of at least sixty (60) days after sale or disposition
of the Collateral).
8.2 Notice of Sale. Reasonable notification of the time and place of any
public sale of the Collateral or reasonable notification of the time after which
any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made
shall be sent to Borrower and to any other Person entitled under the Code to
notice; provided, however, that if the Collateral threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender may
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without advertisement or other
notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent not less than ten (10)
calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which such notice relates is
reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this Section 8.2. Lender
shall have the right to bid at any public or private sale on its own behalf. Out
of money arising from any such sale, Lender shall retain an amount equal to all
costs and charges, including attorneys' fees, that it has incurred or may incur
for advice, counsel, or other legal services or for pursuing, reclaiming,
seeking to reclaim, taking, keeping, removing, storing, and advertising such
Collateral for sale, selling same, and any and all other charges and expenses in
connection therewith and in satisfying any prior Liens thereon. Any balance
shall be applied against the Obligations, and in the event of deficiency,
Borrower shall remain liable to Lender. In the event of any surplus, such
surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to such other Persons as may be legally
entitled to such surplus. If, by reason of any suit or proceeding of any kind,
nature, or description against Borrower, or by Borrower or any other party
against Lender, which in Lender's sole discretion makes it advisable for Lender
to seek counsel for the protection and preservation of its Liens and security
interests, or to defend its own interest, such expenses and
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
55
counsel fees shall be allowed to Lender, and the same shall be made a further
charge and Lien upon the Collateral.
In view of the fact that federal, state, and other securities laws may
impose certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of certain Collateral
may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that upon the
occurrence or existence of a Default or Event of Default, Lender may, from time
to time, attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a
private placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to those
who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and
not for, or with a view to, distribution. In so doing, Lender may solicit offers
to buy such Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from a limited number of
investors deemed by Lender, in its reasonable judgment, to be responsible
parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral, and if Lender
solicits such offers from not less than two (2) such investors, then the
acceptance by Lender of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to
be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of such Collateral.
8.3 Application of Collateral; Termination of Agreements. Upon the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, Lender may, with or without
proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment or performance of
the Obligations, without notice, terminate Lender's further performance under
this Agreement or any other agreement or agreements between Lender and Borrower
or any Affiliate thereof, without further liability or obligation by Lender, and
may also, at any time, appropriate and apply on any Obligations any and all
Collateral in its, Custodian's or Lockbox Agent's possession, custodian, or
control any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts, reserves,
indebtedness, or other monies due or owing to Borrower held by Lender hereunder
or under any other financing agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not.
Neither such termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of
time, the giving of notice, or otherwise, shall absolve, release, or otherwise
affect the liability of Borrower in respect of transactions prior to such
termination, or affect any of the Liens, security interests, rights, powers, and
remedies of Lender, but they shall, in all events, continue until all of the
Obligations have been satisfied in full.
8.4 Rights of Lender Regarding Collateral. In addition to all other rights
possessed by Lender, Lender, at its option, may from time to time after there
shall have occurred a Default or an Event of Default, and for so long as such
Default or Event of Default remains uncured, in its sole discretion, take the
following actions:
(a) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of
Lender or its nominee;
(b) Take control of the proceeds of any of the Collateral;
(c) Extend or renew the Loan and grant releases, compromises, or
indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any portion thereof, any extension,
or renewal thereof, or any security therefor, to any obligor hereunder or
thereunder; and
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
56
(d) Exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing
the Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger
denominations for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
8.5 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may perform any of its duties
and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or
through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, or other
representatives. To the maximum extent practicable in light of all relevant
facts and circumstances, Lender will attempt to avoid any duplication of effort
and cost to Borrower in connection with any such delegation on Lender's part.
8.6 Waivers. THE ACCEPTANCE BY LENDER AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME OF
PARTIAL PAYMENTS OF THE LOAN OR PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO BE A WAIVER OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT THEN EXISTING. NO
WAIVER BY LENDER OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A
WAIVER OF ANY OTHER OR SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. NO DELAY OR
OMISSION BY LENDER IN EXERCISING ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
SHALL IMPAIR SUCH RIGHT OR REMEDY OR BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER THEREOF OR AN
ACQUIESCENCE THEREIN, NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE OF ANY SUCH RIGHT
OR REMEDY PRECLUDE OTHER OR FURTHER EXERCISES THEREOF, OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY
OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER
AND EACH AND EVERY SURETY, ENDORSER, GUARANTOR, AND OTHER PERSON LIABLE FOR THE
PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SEVERALLY WAIVE
NOTICE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY DEFAULT, EVENT OF DEFAULT, PRESENTMENT, AND
DEMAND FOR PAYMENT, PROTEST, AND NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF INTENTION TO
ACCELERATE, ACCELERATION, AND NONPAYMENT, AND AGREE THAT THEIR LIABILITY SHALL
NOT BE AFFECTED BY ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION IN THE TIME OF PAYMENT OF THE LOAN,
OR BY ANY RELEASE OR CHANGE IN ANY SECURITY FOR THE PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF
THE LOAN, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SUCH RENEWALS, EXTENSIONS, RELEASES, OR
CHANGES.
Borrower's Initials: /S/ HJW
8.7 Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies available to Lender under
the Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, at law, or in
equity, whether or not the Loan is due and payable and whether or not Lender
shall have instituted any suit for collection or other action in connection with
or pursuant to the Loan Documents.
8.8 Expenditures by Lender. Any amounts expended by or on behalf of Lender
pursuant to the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein or available at
law or in equity
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
57
shall be deemed an Advance hereunder, become part of the Obligations, and shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until the
date repaid.
8.9 Diminution in Value of Collateral. Lender shall not have any liability
or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution or loss in value of any of the
Collateral.
SECTION 9. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF LENDER
9.1 Protection of Collateral. Lender may, at any time and from time to
time, take such actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to protect
Lender's Liens and security interests in and to preserve the Collateral, and to
establish, maintain, and protect the enforceability of Lender's rights with
respect thereto, all at the expense of Borrower. Borrower agrees to cooperate
fully with all of Lender's efforts to preserve the Collateral and Lender's
Liens, security interests, and rights and will take such actions to preserve the
Collateral and Lender's Liens, security interests, and rights as Lender may
direct, including, without limitation, by promptly paying, upon Lender's demand
therefor, all documentary stamp taxes or other taxes that may be or may become
due in respect of any of the Collateral. All of Lender's reasonable expenses of
preserving the Collateral and its Liens and security interests and rights
therein shall be added to the principal amount of the Loan and secured by the
Collateral.
9.2 Performance by Lender. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, subject to any notice or cure periods, Lender may itself
perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Lender
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower under Section 9.5
below. In no event, however, shall Lender have any obligation or duty whatsoever
to perform any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained herein, in any of the
other Loan Documents, or in any Timeshare Documents, and any such performance by
Lender shall be wholly discretionary with Lender. The performance by Lender of
any agreement or covenant of Borrower on any occasion shall not give rise to any
duty on the part of Lender to perform any such agreements or covenants on any
other occasion or at any time. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that Lender
shall not at any time or under any circumstances whatsoever have any duty to
Borrower or to any other Person to exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies
hereunder.
9.3 No Liability of Lender. Lender is obligated to perform all covenants
and obligations of Lender hereunder, including but not limited to making
Advances to Borrower, subject to all of the terms, provisions, and conditions
hereof and of the other Loan Documents. However, neither the execution of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Lender nor the exercise of any
rights hereunder or thereunder by Lender shall be construed in any way as an
assumption by Lender of any obligations, responsibilities, or duties of Borrower
arising in connection with the Property, all or any portion of the Collateral,
under any Timeshare Documents, under any Applicable Laws, or in connection with
any other business of Borrower or the Collateral, nor shall it otherwise bind
Lender to the performance of any obligations with respect to the Property, or
the Collateral, it being expressly understood that Lender shall not be obligated
to perform, observe, or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or
liability of Borrower with respect to the Property, any of the Collateral, under
any of the Timeshare Documents, or under any Applicable Laws, including, but not
limited to, appearing in or defending any action, expending any money, or
incurring any expense in connection therewith.
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
58
Without limiting the foregoing, neither this Agreement, any action or actions on
the part of Lender taken hereunder nor the acquisition of the Pledged Notes
Receivable, and/or the other Collateral by Lender prior to or following the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default shall constitute an assumption by
Lender of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Property or such
Collateral, or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith,
and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations thereunder
or with respect thereto. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend,
and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of
action, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, costs, and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, asserted against
or incurred by Lender by reason of, arising out of, or connected in any way with
(a) any failure or alleged failure of Borrower to perform any of its covenants
or obligations with respect to the Property or all or any portion of the
Collateral; (b) a breach of any certification, representation, warranty, or
covenant of Borrower set forth in any of the Loan Documents; (c) the ownership
of the Pledged Notes Receivable, the other Collateral, and the rights, titles,
and interests assigned hereby, or intended so to be; (d) the debtor-creditor
relationships between Borrower, on the one hand, and the Purchasers or Lender,
as the case may be, on the other; or (e) the Pledged Notes Receivable, or the
management or operation of the Property. The obligations of Borrower to
indemnify, protect, defend, and hold Lender harmless as provided in this
Agreement are absolute, unconditional, present, and continuing, and shall not be
dependent upon or affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity, or
enforceability of any claim, demand, or suit from which Lender is indemnified.
The indemnity provisions in this Section 9.3 shall survive the complete
satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement and remain
binding and enforceable against Borrower, together with any of its successors
and assigns. Borrower hereby waives all notices with respect to any losses,
damages, liabilities, suits, costs, and expenses, and all other demands
whatsoever hereby indemnified, and agrees that its obligations under this
Agreement shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to
above, that might otherwise constitute legal or equitable discharges of its
obligations hereunder. If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine
that Borrower is entitled to recover damages from Lender for any reason or upon
any cause, claim, or counterclaim, in connection with the Loan or the
transactions provided for or contemplated pursuant to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Borrower stipulates and agrees that any such damages or
awards shall be limited to compensatory damages only, and that under no
circumstances whatsoever shall Lender be liable to Borrower, or any Affiliate
thereof for exemplary or punitive damages, all of which are hereby waived by
Borrower.
9.4 Right to Defend Action Affecting Security. Lender may, at Borrower's
expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding, at law or in equity,
that Lender in good faith believes may affect the Liens or security interests
granted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the
Pledged Notes Receivable, the Collateral, or Lender's rights under any of the
Loan Documents.
9.5 Expenses. All expenses payable by Borrower under any provision of this
Agreement shall be Obligations of Borrower, and if paid by Lender, shall be
repaid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date of payment of such expense(s) by Lender until repaid
by Borrower.

9.6 Lender's Right of Set-Off. Lender shall have the right to set-off
against any or all of the Collateral any Obligations then due and unpaid by
Borrower.
9.7 Right of Lender to Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release
Security, Etc. Without affecting the liability of any Person for the payment of
any of the Obligations and without affecting or impairing Lender's Lien and
other rights in and to the Collateral, or the remainder thereof, as security for
the full amount of the Loan unpaid and the Obligations, Lender may from time to
time, without notice: (a) release any Person liable for the payment of the Loan;
(b) extend the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of the Loan; (c)
accept additional security for the Obligations of any kind, including deeds of
trust or mortgages and security agreements; (d) alter, substitute, or release
any property securing the Obligations; (e) realize upon any Collateral for the
payment of all or any portion of the Loan as provided herein in such order and
manner as it may deem fit; and/or (f) join in any subordination or other
agreement affecting this Agreement or the lien or charge thereof.

the Loan and all or any portion of its rights in or pursuant to this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents to any subsequent holder or holders of the
Note.
9.9 Notice to Purchaser. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender and Lockbox
Agent (but neither Lender nor Lockbox Agent shall be obligated) to communicate
at any time and from time to time with any Purchaser or any other Person
primarily or secondarily liable under a Pledged Note Receivable with regard to
the Lien of the Lender thereon and any other matter relating thereto, and by no
later than the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender notifications to
the Purchasers executed in blank by Borrower and in form acceptable to Lender,
pursuant to which such Purchasers (or other obligors) are directed to remit all
payments in respect of the Collateral to Lockbox Agent or as Lender may
otherwise require.
9.10 Collection of Pledged Notes Receivable. Borrower hereby directs and
authorizes each Purchaser and any other Person liable for the payment of any
Pledged Note Receivable, and promptly after the Closing Date, shall direct in
writing each such Person, to pay each installment due thereon directly to
Lockbox Agent, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, unless and until directed
otherwise by written notice from Lender or, at Lender's direction, from
Borrower, after which such parties are and shall be directed to make all further
payments on the Pledged Notes Receivable in accordance with the directions of
Lender. Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Lender shall
have the right to require that all payments becoming due under the Pledged Notes
Receivable be paid directly to Lender, and Lender is hereby authorized to
receive, collect, hold, and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement but shall provide Borrower with accountings of all such activity
on at least as frequent a basis as Lockbox Agent was obligated to provide
accountings to Lender and Borrower, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement. In the
event that following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender
or Lockbox Agent does not receive any installment of principal or interest due
and payable under any of the Pledged Notes Receivable on or prior to the date
upon which such installment becomes due, Lender may, at its election (but
without any obligation to do so), give or cause Lockbox Agent to give notice of
such event of default to the defaulting party or parties, and Lender shall have
the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of such instruments, to
accelerate payment of the unpaid balance of any of the Pledged Notes Receivable
in default to
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
60
foreclose each of the Timeshare Interest Mortgages securing the payment thereof
and to enforce any other remedies available to the holder of such Pledged Notes
Receivable, with respect to such event of default. Borrower hereby further
authorizes, directs, and empowers Lender (and Lockbox Agent or any other Person
as may be designated by Lender in writing) to collect and receive all checks and
drafts evidencing such payments and to endorse such checks or drafts in the name
of Borrower and, upon such endorsements, to collect and receive the money
therefor. The right to endorse checks and drafts granted pursuant to the
preceding sentence is irrevocable by Borrower, and the banks or banks paying
such checks or drafts upon such endorsements, as well as the signers of the
same, shall be as fully protected as though the checks or drafts had been
endorsed by Borrower.
9.11 Power of Attorney. Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint Lender as Borrower's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with
full power of substitution, for Borrower, and in Borrower's name, place, and
stead, or otherwise, to (a) endorse any checks or drafts payable to Borrower in
the name of Borrower and in favor of Lender as provided in Section 9.10 above;
(b) to demand and receive from time to time any and all property, rights,
titles, interests, and Liens (which are related to Lender's Collateral) hereby
sold, assigned, and transferred, or intended so to be, and to give receipts for
same; (c) upon a Default or an Event of Default, to collect all rent, revenues,
and income, pursuant to the terms of any Pledged Note Receivable and relocated
Timeshare Interest Mortgage; (d) from time to time, to institute and prosecute,
in Lender's own name, any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise,
that Lender may deem proper in order to collect, assert, or enforce any claim,
right, or title, of any kind, in and to the property, rights, titles, interests,
and Liens hereby sold, assigned, or transferred, or intended so to be, and to
defend and compromise any and all actions, suits, or proceedings in respect of
any of the said property, rights, titles, interests, and Liens; (e) upon a
Default or an Event of Default, to change Borrower's post office mailing
addresses in connection with the Collateral; and (f) generally to do all and any
such acts and things in relation to the Collateral as Lender shall in good xxxxx
xxxx advisable, subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof.
Borrower hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers granted
pursuant to this Section 9.11 are coupled with an interest and are and shall be
irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason.
9.12 Relief from Automatic Stay, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, in the event that Borrower shall make application for or seek relief or
protection under the federal bankruptcy code (the "Bankruptcy Code") or any
other Debtor Relief Laws, or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed
against Borrower under such Code or other Debtor Relief Laws and not dismissed
with prejudice within forty-five (45) days, the automatic stay provisions of
Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are hereby modified as to Lender to the
extent necessary to implement the provisions hereof permitting set-off and the
filing of financing statements or other instruments or documents; and Lender
shall automatically and without demand or notice (each of which is hereby waived
by Borrower) be entitled to immediate relief from any automatic stay imposed by
Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, on or against the exercise of
the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender as provided in the Loan
Documents.
9.13 Investigations and Inquiries. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
conduct such investigations and inquiries concerning Borrower, the Property, the
Purchasers, and the Collateral, as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems
necessary or desirable in connection with its
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
61
monitoring of the Loan and the Collateral therefor, and all such Persons of whom
Lender may make such inquiry are empowered to cooperate with, and to provide all
requested information to, Lender.
9.14 Verification of Use. Lender shall be under no duty or obligation to
ascertain the manner in which Borrower has used or will use the proceeds of the
Loan. Lender's sole obligation shall be to advance the proceeds of the Loan
subject to, and in strict accordance with, the terms, provisions, and conditions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender's obligation to fund the
Loan is limited to the principal amount set forth herein and in the Note.
Borrower is solely responsible for obtaining any other financing that may be
necessary in order to enable it to repay the Loan on or prior to the Maturity
Date. It is expressly understood that Lender has no responsibility or obligation
whatsoever to provide to Borrower any further financing, whether in connection
with the Property or otherwise.
SECTION 10. TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and the Liens and
security interests granted hereby and the duties, covenants, and liabilities of
Borrower hereunder, and all the terms, conditions, and provisions hereof
relating thereto shall continue to be fully operative until all of the
Obligations have been satisfied in full. Borrower expressly agrees that if
Borrower makes a payment to Lender, which payment or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or
otherwise required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under
any Debtor Relief Laws, state or federal law, common law, or equitable cause,
then to the extent of such repayment, the Obligations or any part thereof
intended to be satisfied and the Liens and security interests provided for

made by Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents, or in any other agreement,
document, instrument, or certificate delivered by or on behalf of Borrower under

11.3 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN TO THE CONTRARY) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED

11.4 Limitation on Interest. Lender and Borrower intend to comply at all
times with all applicable usury laws. All agreements between Lender and
Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,
are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or
acceleration of the maturity of the Note, or otherwise, shall the interest
contracted for, charged, received, paid, or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed
the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, of the Note, or of
any other Loan Document shall involve transcending the limit of such validity
prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity; and if from any circumstance Lender shall
ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law that would
exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds
the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, such excess shall be refunded to
Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the
interest on the Loan for such full period shall not exceed the highest lawful
rate. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payment
under the Loan Documents exceeds the highest lawful rate, any non-principal
payment (except payments specifically described in the Loan Documents as
"interest"), including without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges,
shall, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, be deemed an expense, fee,
premium, or penalty rather than interest. Lender hereby expressly disclaims any
intent to contract for, charge, or receive interest in an amount that exceeds
the highest lawful rate. The provisions of the Note, this Agreement, and all
other Loan Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform with
the limitations and provisions of this Section, and this Section shall govern
over all other provisions in any document or agreement now or hereafter
existing. This Section shall never be superseded or waived unless there is a
written document executed by Lender and Borrower expressly declaring the usury
limitation of this Agreement to be null and void, and no other method or
language shall be effective to supersede or waive this paragraph.
11.5 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under
present or future laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall
be fully severable, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
64
provision had never comprised a part hereof or thereof, and the remaining
provisions hereof or thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not
be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its
severance therefrom. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
that is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in a particular
jurisdiction shall remain valid and enforceable in all other jurisdictions.
Furthermore, in lieu of any such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision,
there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement and/or the other
Loan Documents (as the case may be) a provision as similar in terms to such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal,
valid, and enforceable.
11.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their
respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not
transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole and absolute discretion. This
Agreement and the transactions provided for or contemplated hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents are intended solely for the benefit of the
parties hereto. No third party shall have any rights or derive any benefits
under or with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except as
specifically set forth herein or otherwise provided in a written document signed
by Borrower and Lender. No Person other than Borrower shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make Advances in the absence of
strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other Person, other than
Borrower, under any circumstances whatsoever, shall be deemed to be a
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which Lender freely may waive, in
whole or in part, at any time if, in its sole discretion, it deems it desirable
to do so. In particular, Lender makes no representation and assumes no
obligation as to third parties concerning the quality of construction of the
Improvements or the absence therefrom of defects. In this connection, Borrower
agrees to and shall indemnify Lender from any liability, claim, or loss,
together with attorneys' fees and costs, resulting from the disbursement of Loan
proceeds or from the condition of the Improvements, whether related to the
quality of construction or otherwise, and whether arising during or after the
term of the Loan. This provision shall survive the repayment of the Loan and
continue in full force and effect so long as the possibility of such liability
or claim exists.
Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time sell or otherwise transfer or assign to one (1) or
more financial institutions or other entities ("Assignees") all or any portion
of its rights hereunder or pursuant to the Note, or any or all of the other Loan
Documents. Any such assignment shall be effected by Lender's execution of an
assignment in such form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto and may be
accompanied by a release by Lender of its right, title, and interest hereunder
and pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents in and to all or any portion of
the Collateral. Although the consent of Borrower shall not be required prior to
any such assignment's becoming effective, Lender agrees to provide Borrower with
prompt written notice of any such assignment. In the event of any such
assignment by Lender to an Assignee, Lender's obligations under the Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged, and Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations. The foregoing
notwithstanding, Borrower shall be directly obligated to each Assignee with
respect to the Obligations assigned to such Assignee and
RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
65
shall have no rights of setoff or other remedies against the Assignee as a
consequence of Lender's acts or omissions under this Agreement subsequent to
such assignment.
Upon the consummation of any assignment to an Assignee pursuant to this
Section, Lender and Borrower shall, if Lender or Assignee desires that the
assignment be evidenced in part by one (1) or more new promissory notes, make
appropriate arrangements for such new promissory note(s) or, as appropriate, one
(1) or more replacement promissory notes to be issued to Lender and for the new
promissory note(s) or, as appropriate, replacement promissory note(s), to be
issued to Assignee, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their
respective rights to payment.
11.7 Amendment. This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules
hereto) may not be amended or modified, and no term, provision, or condition
hereof may be waived, except by a written instrument that is signed by all of
the parties hereto.
11.8 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect
as if the signature thereto and hereto were on the same instrument. This
Agreement shall become effective upon Lender's receipt of one (1) or more
counterparts hereof signed by Borrower and Lender.
11.9 Lender Not a Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrower and Lender
is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other
special relationship with Borrower, and no term or provision of any of the Loan
Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower,
and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
11.10 Release and Return of Notes Receivable.
(a) In the event that Borrower complies fully with its Obligations
under Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement with respect to any Pledged Note
Receivable that ceases to be an Eligible Note Receivable, and Borrower
thereafter desires to enforce such ineligible Note Receivable against the maker
thereof, then provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists and no
event has occurred which with notice, the passage of time, or both, would
constitute a Default or an Event of Default, within sixty (60) days after its
receipt of a written request from Borrower, Lender shall endorse the ineligible
Note Receivable using the words "Pay to the order of Silverleaf Resorts Inc.,
without recourse," and deliver such ineligible Note Receivable to Borrower.
(b) In the event that all Obligations hereunder are fully satisfied,
then within a reasonable time thereafter, Lender shall endorse the Pledged Notes
Receivable using the words "Pay to the order of Silverleaf Resorts Inc., without
recourse," and deliver such Pledged Notes Receivable, together with any other
nonrecourse Collateral reassignment documents requested and prepared by
Borrower, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, free and clear of any Liens or
encumbrances by any Person claiming by, through, or under Lender.
(c) With respect to any Pledged Note Receivable that is not an
Eligible Note Receivable, upon Borrower's request, Lender shall direct Custodian
to return the Credit File relating to such Pledged Note Receivable to Borrower
at its earliest convenience.

11.11 Accounting Principles. Where the character or amount of any asset or
liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any
consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the
purposes of this Agreement, the same shall be determined or made in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied at the time in effect, to the extent applicable,
except where such principles are inconsistent with the requirements of this
Agreement.
11.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including the exhibits and schedules to them, comprise the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, may not be changed or terminated
orally or by course of conduct, and shall be deemed effective as of the Closing
Date.
11.13 Litigation. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW
WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY,
INTENTIONALLY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND OR CLARIFY ANY RIGHT, POWER, REMEDY,
OR DEFENSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY
PARTY; AND EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE
A JUDGE AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED
WITH ANY OTHER LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
FURTHER, BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF LENDER,
INCLUDING LENDER'S COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT LENDER
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT
TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
