of the Inventory or (ii) $18,000,000.00 (such amount being the aggregate
principal amount of the Existing Inventory Loan and the New Inventory Loan), as

discretion. The Revolving Loan Period shall be the period during the Term in

paid to the Lender, all principal and interest due under the Note in respect of
the Loan made by the Lender hereunder. The Borrower shall make the following

enforcing the Liens in and to the Collateral and in collecting any amount due to
Lender in connection with the Loan; (ii) to any interest accrued at the Default
Rate; (iii) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest at the applicable
Interest Rate; and (iv) to the reduction of the principal balance of the
Existing Inventory Loan and the New Inventory Loan in such order and manner as
Lender may determine in its sole discretion. If the amount of the funds received
by Lender with respect to any month is insufficient to pay in full all amounts
due from Borrower to Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall pay the
difference to Lender on or before the fifth (5th) day after notice from Lender
to Borrower advising Borrower of such insufficiency.
(b) INTERVAL RELEASE PRICE PAYMENTS. Prior to the release
by Lender of any Interval from the Collateral in accordance with Section 2.10

shall be applied by Lender in accordance with Section 3(a); provided, however,
that if the Retail Value of the Inventory, as determined by the Lender, is equal
to or greater than the Interval Release Threshold, the Borrower shall not be

for so long as the Retail Value of the Inventory equals or exceeds the Interval
Release Threshold.

amount of the Loan together with all other Obligations shall be paid in full by
not later than the Final Maturity Date.

prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, except that: (i) provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) Borrower pays the Release
Price in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof, then at any time during the Term
of the Loan, the Loan may be prepaid in part in connection with any prepayment
which arises from release of any Interval from the Collateral, subject to
Section 2.10 hereof.
(b) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.
(i) If at any time and for any reason, the
outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall exceed
the amount which satisfies the Loan to Retail Value Ratio,
then, within five (5) Business Days following Borrower's
receipt of telecopied notice from Lender of the occurrence of
such excess or, absent such telecopied notice, within fifteen
(15) days after the end of the calendar month in
17
which such excess occurred, Borrower shall either: (x) prepay
the principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to the
difference between the aggregate principal amount of the Loan
and the amount necessary to comply with the Loan to Retail
Value Ratio of the Inventory or (y) Borrower shall grant to
Lender a first mortgage Lien on additional Intervals from
Eligible Resorts so that the Retail Value of the Inventory,
including such additional Intervals, equals or exceeds the
Required Retail Value of the Inventory and the Loan to Retail

mortgage lien on such additional Intervals, Borrower shall
comply with the document delivery and recordation requirements
set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement and Borrower shall
deliver to Lender its written certification that the Retail
Value of the Inventory, including such additional Intervals,
is equal to or greater than the Required Retail Value and

to prepay the excess principal balance of the Loan pursuant to
this Section (i) above, no prepayment premium shall be payable
in connection with such prepayment.
(ii) On or before August 31, 2004, Borrower shall
prepay the sum of $2,000,000 on the New Inventory Loan so that

Inventory Loan) shall be reduced to $6,000,000.00. From and
after August 31, 2004, the maximum amount available for
Advances under the New Inventory Loan shall be $6,000,000.00
and the maximum aggregate principal amount under the Existing
Inventory Loan and the New Inventory Loan shall be

loan charges custodial fees, attorneys' and paralegals' fees and expenses,
amounts due pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof as a result of a Funding Loss and
other fees or expenses incurred by Lender or advanced to or on behalf of
Borrower by Lender pursuant to any of the Loan Documents accrued but unpaid.
(d) USE OF PROGRAM RESERVE ACCOUNT WITHDRAWALS AND
SURPLUS UNDER THE TFC CONDUIT LOAN. To the extent that funds are made available
to SPV from the Program Reserve Account in accordance with Section 5.1(e) of the
Loan and Security Agreement which is part of the Silverleaf Finance II
Documents, to the extent permitted by law and the Silverleaf Finance II
Documents, Borrower shall cause SPV to distribute such funds to Borrower and
Borrower shall make payment in the amount of such distribution to Lender and
Sovereign to be applied in the order set forth in that certain Intercreditor
Agreement between Lender, Xxxxxx and Sovereign dated of even date herewith. To
the extent that Borrower receives any distributions from the SPV in respect of
any Surplus Payments, as such term is defined in the Silverleaf Finance II
Documents, such funds shall be used by Borrower strictly to fund Operating
Expenses in accordance with the Business Plan and for no other reason, without
Lender's prior written consent.

2.5 PAYMENT OF FUNDING LOSSES AND OTHER AMOUNTS RELATING TO LIBOR
CONTRACT, ETC.
(a) Funding Losses: Breaking of LIBOR contract, Change in
Law, Etc. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender any amount necessary to
compensate Lender for any losses or costs (including, without limitation, the
costs of breaking any "LIBOR" contract, if applicable, or funding losses
determined on the basis of Lender's reinvestment rate and the interest rate
thereon) (collectively, "FUNDING LOSSES") sustained by Lender: (i) if the Loan,
or any portion hereof, is prepaid for any reason whatsoever on any date other
than the Final Maturity Date (including, without limitation, from condemnation
or insurance proceeds); (ii) upon the conversion of the interest rate on the
Loan to an interest rate based on the Prime Rate in accordance with Section (b)
hereof; (iii) as a consequence of the reduction of any amounts received or
receivable from Borrower, in either case, due to the introduction of, or any
change in, law or applicable regulation or treaty (including the administration
or interpretation thereof), whether or not having the force of law, or due to
the compliance by Lender with any directive, whether or not having the force of
law, or request from any central bank or domestic or foreign governmental
authority, agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction; (iv) as a consequence
of the breaking of any LIBOR contract and/or (v) any other set of circumstances
not attributable to Lender's acts. Payment of Funding Losses hereunder shall be
in addition to any obligation to pay any other amounts due and owing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
(b) Conversion to Interest Rate Based on Prime Rate. If
Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that dollar deposits in an amount
approximately equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan are
not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits
in Eurodollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining the Interest
Rate based on LIBOR, or of funding the same in such market for such Interest
Accrual Period, due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market
generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, (iv)
that the Interest Rate based on LIBOR would be in excess of the maximum interest
rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, or (v) any LIBOR
contract is broken as a result of the sale in bulk of Inventory relating to the
Resorts by Borrower, Lender shall so notify Borrower and, as of the date of such
notification with respect to an event described in clauses (ii), (iv) or (v)
above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Period with respect
to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, interest shall accrue at a
rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per
annum interest rate is approximately equal to what the rate would have been
based on LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum, which new
rate shall apply until such time as the situations described above are no longer
in effect, or as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, if the situation
described in clause (ii) above occurs, (x) Borrower shall have the option, to be
exercised by written notice to Lender, to pay to Lender (in the manner
reasonably required by Lender) for such increased cost of maintaining the
Interest Rate based on LIBOR, and (y) if the same only affects a portion of the
Loan, then only such portion shall have interest accrue at a rate equal to the
Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per annum interest
rate is approximately equal to what the rate would have been based on LIBOR plus
three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum, and interest shall continue to
accrue on the remaining portion at the Interest Rate based on LIBOR.
19
(c) Back-Up Interest Rate Based on Prime Rate. If the
introduction of, or any change in, any law, regulation or treaty, or in the
interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to
maintain the Interest Rate based on LIBOR with respect to the Loan, or any
portion thereof, or to fund the Loan, or any portion thereof, in Eurodollars in
the London Interbank Market, then, (i) the Loan (or such portion of the Loan)
shall, with respect to Lender, thereafter bear interest shall accrue at a rate
equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per annum
interest rate is approximately equal to what the rate would have been based on
LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum (unless the Default
Rate shall be applicable), and (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of
Funding Losses (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. The accrual
of interest shall accrue at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient
spread so that the resulting per annum interest rate is approximately equal to
what the rate would have been based on LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent
(3.25%) per annum, which new rate shall continue until such date, if any, as the
situation described in this Section (c) is no longer in effect.
(d) Capital Adequacy Events, Etc. If Lender shall have
determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline
adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle
Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled
"International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the
adoption of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline (including, but not
limited to, any United States law, rule, regulation or guideline) regarding
capital adequacy, or any change becoming effective in any of the foregoing or in
the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by
any court or any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the enforcement or interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or Lender's holding
company, as the case may be, to a level below that which Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such applicability,
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's or its
holding company, as the case may be, policies with respect to capital adequacy)
(the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as "CAPITAL ADEQUACY EVENTS"),
then, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender on behalf of any such
Lender, from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
Lender for any such reduction suffered.
(e) Payment of Amounts Due under Section 2.5. Any amount
payable by Borrower under Section (a) or (d) hereof shall be paid to Lender
within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an
officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the
determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding
upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand
payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period
shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount
for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in Section (a) or (d)
hereof and of the amount to be paid under this Section (e) as a result thereof;
provided, however, any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect
Borrower's obligation to make the payments to be made under this Section (e) as
a result thereof. All
20
amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the
provisions of this Section (e) shall constitute additional interest hereunder
and shall be secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents."

2007.

CREDIT FACILITY AND THE ADDITIONAL CREDIT FACILITY. Borrower acknowledges,
agrees and confirms that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any
other Loan Document or in any document evidencing or securing the Existing
Inventory Loan, the New Inventory Loan, the Existing Credit Facilities or the
Additional Credit Facility, Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance
hereunder, which when taken together with the Loans or Advances made by Lender,
on its own behalf as Lender (and as opposed to Advances required to be made by
Lender's participants and co-lenders under the Existing Credit Facilities), to
the Borrower under this Agreement, the Original Loan Agreement, the Existing
Credit Facilities and the Additional Credit Facility, would cause the aggregate
amount of such Loans and Advances by Lender, on its own behalf, to Borrower to
exceed a maximum aggregate amount of: (i) prior to August 31, 2004-$56,996,300
and (ii) after August 31,2004 and prior to the Final Maturity Date-$54,996,300.

desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or
nonjudicial sanction shall be issued limiting or otherwise materially adversely

in such event, the Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advances
hereunder: (i) in respect of Intervals which are the subject of any stay, order,
cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar

singly or in the aggregate, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the executive

any such Advance, together with any prior Advances made under this Loan

subject to Section 4.5(c)(xvi).
SECTION 3 -- COLLATERAL GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
3.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and
performance of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower unconditionally and
irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants to Lender a continuing first priority
security interest in and to the Collateral (other than as set forth below). To
further secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower shall
also execute and deliver to Lender: (i) the Land Mortgages, granting Lender a
first priority mortgage lien on the Land and (ii) the Additional Resort
Collateral Mortgages granting Lender a first priority mortgage lien on that
portion of the Additional Resort Collateral consisting of real property. To
further secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower shall
further execute and deliver to Lender: (1) the Additional Resort Collateral
Assignments granting Lender a first priority security interest on that portion
of the Additional Resort Collateral consisting of personal property; (2) the
Stock Pledge Agreement granting Lender a first priority security interest in the
Silverleaf Finance I, Inc. Stock; (3) the Amended Standby Management Agreement
Assignment, assigning to Lender, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in

and Subordinated Note Pledge Agreement granting Lender a junior and subordinate
security interest in the Silverleaf Finance II Stock and the Silverleaf Finance
II Subordinated Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPV
Subordination Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower acknowledges
and agrees as follows:
The Loan shall be secured by:
(i) a first priority security interest in the Inventory;
(ii) a second priority security interest in the Silverleaf Finance
I, Inc. Stock and the Additional Resort Collateral, subject
only to the first priority security interest securing the Term
Loan Component of the Additional Credit Facility and the
Existing Credit Facilities and a subordinate security interest
in the Silverleaf Finance II Stock and the Silverleaf Finance
II Subordinated Note subject to the security interest securing
the Term Loan Component of the Additional Credit Facility and
the Existing Credit Facilities and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the SPV Subordination Agreement; and
(iii) a second priority security interest in all Notes Receivable
and the Ineligible Note Portfolio and the mortgages securing
the same, subject only to the first priority security interest
securing the revolving loan component of the Additional Credit
Facility, the Existing Credit Facilities and the Sovereign
Facility.
In addition to the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges, agrees and
confirms that the security interest granted to Lender, in all other Collateral
to secure the Loan, including the Land, the Standby Management Agreement and the
other collateral securing the Sovereign Facility, the Additional Credit Facility
and the Existing Credit Facilities shall be equal in priority as between the
Loan, the Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities and,
with respect to the collateral securing the Sovereign Facility, the Additional
Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities, subject only to the security
interests securing such facilities. For purposes hereof, the reference to
"collateral securing the Sovereign Facility" shall mean the Notes Receivable and
related mortgages exclusively assigned to Sovereign in connection with an
advance under its loan documents.
3.2 FINANCING STATEMENTS. Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to
execute the financing statements provided for by the Code together with any and
all other instruments or documents and take such other action as may be required
to perfect and to continue the perfection of Lender's security interests in the
Collateral and, unless prohibited by law, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
execute and file any such financing statements on the Borrower's behalf.
3.3 INSURANCE. Borrower shall maintain insurance coverage on the
Resorts and the Collateral in accordance with Section 7.1(d) hereof.
23
3.4 SUBSTITUTION OF INVENTORY. Lender agrees that Borrower may,
from time to time during the Term hereof, replace any Interval or Intervals by
granting to Lender a first mortgage Lien on a new Interval or Intervals owned by
the Borrower at an Eligible Resort. In granting to Lender a first mortgage Lien
on any such new Interval or Intervals, Borrower shall comply with the document
delivery and recordation requirements set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement
and Borrower shall deliver to Lender its written certification that the Retail
Value of the Inventory after any such substitution, is equal to or greater than
the Required Retail Value and satisfies the Loan to Value Ratio. In connection
with any such replacement of Inventory under this Section 3.4 or Section 2.4(b)
hereof, Borrower may propose to Lender that one or more additional time-share
plans and projects owned and operated by Borrower be included among the Eligible
Resorts . Any such proposal will be in writing, and will be accompanied or
supported by the due diligence and supporting Borrower, Affiliate, project,
financial and related information identified in Section 4 hereto, and such other
information as Lender may require. Borrower will reasonably cooperate with
Lender's underwriting and due diligence, and Borrower will be responsible for
payment upon billing for Lender's out-of-pocket expenses in connection
therewith. Subject to Lender's satisfactory underwriting and due diligence
review, including satisfaction of the conditions in Section 4 and Section 5
hereof as they relate to such additional time-share resorts, Lender may, but
shall not be required to, approve one or more such additional time-share
resorts, including future phases or condominiums in an Existing Eligible Resort,
as an Eligible Resort. Subject in each instance to Lender's acceptable
underwriting and due diligence review, and Lender's prior written approval, any
project as may be approved by Lender after the Closing Date, if any, is
hereinafter referred to singly as an "ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE RESORT" and
collectively as the "ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE RESORTS."
3.5 CROSS COLLATERALIZATION. The Collateral also secures the
Obligations of Borrower under the Additional Credit Facility and the Existing
Credit Facilities. Upon repayment of this Loan and the satisfaction by Borrower
of all of the Obligations, the Collateral shall continue to secure the
Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities, as provided in
the documents evidencing and securing the Additional Credit Facility and the
Existing Credit Facilities. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that upon
repayment in full of the Sovereign Facility, Lender's security interest in the
collateral securing such facility shall automatically become a first priority
security interest for securing the Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under
the Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities and Borrower
shall take such steps as Lender may request to deliver such collateral to Lender
and to confirm Lender's first priority security interest therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) when the term loan component of the
Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities and the Loan are
paid in full, the Additional Resort Collateral shall be released from the Lien
of the security interest granted to Lender hereunder provided: (i) an Event of
Default has not occurred; and (ii) the Additional Resort Collateral is also
released from any lien granted to Sovereign pursuant to the Sovereign Documents;
and (b) when both the term loan component of the Additional Credit Facility and

granted to Lender hereunder provided: (i) an Event of Default has not occurred;
and (ii) the Silverleaf Finance I, Inc., Stock is also released from any lien
granted to Sovereign pursuant to Sovereign Documents; (c) when the Term Loan
Component, the Revolving Loan Component and the Loan are paid in full, the
Silverleaf Finance II Stock and the Silverleaf Finance II Subordinated Note
shall be released from the Lien of the security interest granted to Lender
hereunder provided: (i)
24
an Event of Default has not occurred; and (ii) the Silverleaf Finance II Stock
and the Silverleaf Finance II Subordinated Note are also released from any lien
granted to Sovereign pursuant to the Sovereign Documents.

Receivable, including all Notes Receivable in the Ineligible Note Portfolio and
any Notes Receivable pledged to Sovereign and Lender may collect all payments
made under or in respect of all such Notes Receivable, including, without
limitation, Eligible Notes Receivable that are or may become ineligible, until
any of the same may be released by Lender, if at all, pursuant to Section 12.10
of the Tranche A Loan Agreement or Section 7.2(a) below. Notwithstanding
anything heretofore to the contrary, unless and until an Event of Default shall
occur, Borrower, as agent for and on behalf of Lender, shall retain possession
of and collect all payments under or in respect of all Notes Receivable in the
Ineligible Note Portfolio. By executing this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that it is holding such Notes Receivable as bailee and agent for
Lender. Borrower shall hold and designate such Notes Receivable in a manner that
clearly indicates that they are being held by Borrower as bailee on behalf of
Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Lender, for itself and as agent for Sovereign, all original Notes
Receivable comprising the Ineligible Note Portfolio and to the extent not
previously delivered to Lender, the documents listed in Section 5.1(b) of the
Tranche A Loan Agreement and with respect thereto and after such Event of
Default Lender shall have the right to collect all proceeds therefrom and apply
the same to payment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.3(a) hereof.

Portfolio, Borrower agrees, subject to Lender's prior approval, to execute and
cause to be filed, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, UCC-1 financing
statement(s) with the appropriate state and local governmental authorities as

to continue the security interests of Lender and Sovereign in the Ineligible
Note Portfolio. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon an Event of Default,
Lender, or a designee as designated by Lender and Sovereign pursuant to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right to automatically
record, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, all such Assignments of Mortgages
executed by Borrower and delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms of

types of insurance on and with respect to Borrower (or, as appropriate, the
respective Associations), the Land, the Additional Resort Collateral, the Units
and the Resorts:
(i) Fire and extended coverage insurance
(including lightning, hurricane, tornado, wind and water
damage, vandalism and malicious mischief coverage) covering
the Units, improvements and any personal property located in

Agency or pursuant to the National Flood Insurance program),
in such amounts and upon terms as may from time to time be
reasonably required by Lender.
To the extent any other timeshare receivable lender has any
rights to approve the form of insurance policies with respect to the Resorts,
the amounts of coverage thereunder, the insurers under such policies, or the
designation of an attorney in fact for purposes of dealing with damage to any
part of any Resort or insurance claims or matters related thereto, or any
successor to such attorney in fact, or any changes with respect to any of the
foregoing, Borrower shall take
47
all steps as may be necessary (and, after turnover, if any, of control of a
Resort to the Timeshare Owners' Association, Borrower shall use its best
efforts) to ensure that Lender shall at all times have a co-equal right, with
such other lender (including, without limitation, Borrower or any third-party
lender), to approve all such matters and any proposed changes in respect
thereof; and Borrower shall not cause or permit any changes with respect to any

the Timeshare Documents or Timeshare Act) shall provide that the coverage
afforded thereby shall not expire or be amended, canceled, modified or
terminated without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender. At
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each policy maintained

to the improvements on or at the Resorts or any real property comprising the
Additional Resort Collateral, Borrower covenants that Borrower or the Timeshare
Owners' Association, as the case may be, will promptly restore or repair (or

or replace any other personal property to the same condition as immediately
prior to such fire or other casualty and, with respect to the improvements and
personal property on the Resorts or any real property comprising the Additional
Resort Collateral, in accordance with the terms of the Timeshare Documents or
Timeshare Act. The insufficiency of any net insurance proceeds shall in no way
relieve Borrower or, as applicable, Borrower and Timeshare Owners' Association,
of its obligation to restore, repair or replace such improvements and other
personal property in accordance with the terms hereof, of the Declaration or
other Timeshare Documents or of the Timeshare Act, and Borrower covenants that

promptly comply and cause compliance with the provisions of the Declaration and
other Timeshare Documents, or of the Timeshare Act relating to such restoration,
repair or replacement. Borrower shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred,
apply all insurance proceeds payable to or received by it, in accordance with

Sections 2.3 and 2.4 hereof.
(e) MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY. 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 supplements and amendments thereto,
and take such other actions, as Lender deems necessary or
48
appropriate in order to maintain as valid, enforceable and perfected first or
second priority liens and security interests, as applicable, all Liens and
security interests in the Collateral granted to Lender to secure the
Obligations. Borrower shall not grant extensions of time for the payment of,
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 Collateral or any
instrument, chattel paper or document representing the Collateral.

as applicable pursuant to the Declaration, Borrower covenants that the Timeshare
Owners' Association will pay, when due, all taxes imposed upon the Resort, the
Collateral, the Borrower, the Timeshare Owners' Association, or any of its or
their property, or with respect to any of its or their franchises, businesses,
income or profits, or with respect to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents; and
Borrower and the Timeshare Owners' Association, as the case may be, shall pay
all other charges and assessments against Borrower, the Collateral and the
Resort before any claim (including, without limitation, claims for labor,
services, materials and supplies) arises for sums which have become due and
payable. Except for the Liens in connection with the Existing Credit Facility
and the Additional Credit Facility and the Liens in favor of Lender granted
pursuant to the Loan Documents, and except as otherwise specifically provided
for herein, Borrower covenants that no statutory or other Liens whatsoever
(including, without limitation, mechanics', materialmens', judgment or tax
liens) shall attach to any of the Collateral or the Resort except for such Liens
as are expressly provided for pursuant to the Declaration, which shall, in any
event, be subordinate to the Lien of Lender. In the event any such Lien attaches
to any of the Collateral or the Resort Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days
after any such Lien attaches, either (i) cause such Lien to be released of
record or (ii) provide Lender with a bond in accordance with the applicable laws
of the State, issued by a corporate surety acceptable to Lender, in an amount

representatives to inspect the Resort, the Collateral and if necessary, in
Lender's opinion, to ascertain or assure Borrower's compliance with the terms of
this Agreement, any of the Borrower's other assets or Property, and to examine
and make copies of and abstracts from its and, to the extent it has access
thereto or possession thereof, the Timeshare Owners' Association's, books,
accounts, records, original correspondence, computer tapes, disks, software, and
other papers as it may desire; and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts
with any of its officers, employees, Affiliates, contractors or independent
public accountants (and by this provision Borrower authorizes said accountants

faith, is not satisfied with any such Financial Statement, and
if Borrower fails to provide Lender with new Financial

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 the
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 which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Lender shall have
the right to take immediate possession of all of the Collateral, and may enter
the Resort 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 ninety (90) days after sale
or disposition of the Collateral).
65
(i) REPLACEMENT OF MANAGER. Without demand or notice of
any nature whatsoever, upon an Event of Default, Lender may: (1) terminate any
then existing management agreements and with the approval of a majority of the
Borrower's Board of Directors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, replace any existing manager with such manager as Lender may select,
provided however, if: (x) the Obligations have become immediately due and
payable in accordance with Section (a) hereof, or (y) Lender elects to have J &
J Limited, Inc. act as Standby, then no such approval shall be required; and (2)
terminate any then existing servicing agreement and replace any then existing
Servicer with the Standby Servicer or such other servicer as Lender may select
in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender shall also have the right to assume
management of the Resorts.
9.2 NOTICE OF SALE. Reasonable notification of 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 notification,
advertisement or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent not
less than five (5) 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 9.2. 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 of its costs and charges, including attorneys' fees 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 upon the Obligations, and in the event of deficiency, the Borrower shall
remain liable to the Lender. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be
paid to the 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 the Borrower, or by the 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 security interest, or to
defend the interest of the Lender, such expenses and 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 and state securities laws may impose
certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of Collateral comprised of
Securities may be effected after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that upon
the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default, Lender may, from time to
time, attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a private
placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to whose 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.
66
9.3 APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default: (i) 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 the Borrower,
without further liability or obligation by Lender; (ii) Lender, at any time,
appropriate and apply on any Obligations any and all Collateral in its
possession and (iii) Lender may apply any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts, reserves, indebtedness or other moneys due or owing to the 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 the Borrower in respect of
transactions prior to such termination, or affect any of the Liens, security
interests, rights, powers and remedies of the Lender, but they shall, in all
events, continue until all of the Obligations are satisfied.
9.4 RIGHTS OF LENDER REGARDING COLLATERAL. In addition to all
other rights possessed by the Lender, Lender, at its option, may on its behalf
from time to time after there shall have occurred an Event of Default, and so
long as such Event of Default remains uncured, at 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 any 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
(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.
9.5 DELEGATION OF DUTIES AND RIGHTS. Lender may execute 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.
9.6 LENDER NOT IN CONTROL. None of the covenants or other
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall give Lender
the right or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of
Borrower.
9.7 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 Event of Default then existing. No waiver by
Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or
subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any
right or remedy 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
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy under the Loan
Documents or otherwise. Further, except
67
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, Borrower
and each and every surety, endorser, guarantor and other party liable for the
payment or performance of all or any portion of the Obligations, severally waive
notice of the occurrence of any 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.
9.8 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights and remedies available to the
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 Document, 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 the Loan Documents.
9.9 EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. Any sums expended by or on behalf of
Lender pursuant to the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein shall
become part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from
the date of such expenditure until the date repaid.
9.10 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, specifically including that which may arise from Lender's
negligence or inadvertence, whether such negligence or inadvertence is the sole
or concurring cause of any damage.
9.11 LENDER'S KNOWLEDGE. The Lender shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless the Lender
has actual knowledge of the Event of Default or has received a notice the
Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing such Event of Default.
SECTION 10 -- CERTAIN RIGHTS OF LENDER
10.1 PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender may at any time and from time
to time take such actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to protect
the 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 expenses of preserving
the Collateral and Lender's liens and security interests and rights therein
shall be added to the Loan.
10.2 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. If Borrower fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, 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
68
10.5 below. In no event, however, shall Lender have any obligation or duties
whatsoever to perform any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained herein or
in any of the Loan Documents, Timeshare Documents or Operating Contracts, 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 third party to
exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder.
10.3 NO LIABILITY OF LENDER. Neither the acceptance of this
Agreement by Lender, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder 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 any Resort or
under the Timeshare Documents or Timeshare Acts, or under any of the Operating
Contracts, or in connection with any other business of Borrower, or the
Collateral, or otherwise bind Lender to the performance of any obligations with
respect to any Resort 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 any Resort or any
of the Collateral, or under any of the Timeshare Documents, the Timeshare Acts
or under any of the Operating Contracts, including, but not limited to,
appearing in or defending any action, expending any money or incurring any
expense in connection therewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither
this Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Lender taken hereunder,
prior to or following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall constitute an
assumption by Lender of any obligations of Borrower with respect to any Resort
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 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,
attorneys' fees and court costs, asserted against or incurred by Lender by
reason of, arising out of, or connected in any way with (I) any failure or
alleged failure of Borrower to perform any of its covenants or obligations with
respect to each Resort or to the Purchasers of any of the Intervals, (II) a
breach of any certification, representation, warranty or covenant of Borrower
set forth in any of the Loan Documents, (III) the ownership of the Inventory and
the rights, titles and interests assigned hereby, or intended so to be, (IV) the
debtor-creditor relationships between Borrower on the one hand, and the Lender,
on the other, or (V) the operation of the Resorts or sale of Intervals. 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 10.3 shall
survive the satisfaction of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement,
and remain binding and enforceable against the Borrower, or its successors or
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, which might
otherwise constitute legal or equitable discharges of its obligations hereunder.
69
10.4 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 which Lender in good faith believes may affect the security interests
granted under this Agreement, including without limitation, with respect to the
value of the Collateral or Lender's rights under any of the Loan Documents.
10.5 EXPENSES. All expenses payable by Borrower, under any
provision of this Agreement shall be an Obligation of the Borrower and shall be
paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate from the date of expense until repaid by Borrower.
10.6 LENDER'S RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Lender shall have the right to
set-off against any Collateral any Obligations then due and unpaid by Borrower.
10.7 NO WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in
exercising any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or in giving or
insisting upon strict performance by Borrower hereunder or in giving notice
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other power or right, and
no single or partial exercise of any such power or right shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or
right. Lender, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter
to insist upon the strict performance by Borrower of any and all of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Borrower. The collection and
application of proceeds, the entering and taking possession of the Collateral,
and the exercise by Lender of its rights contained in the Loan Documents and
this Agreement shall not cure or waive any default, or affect any notice of
default, or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. No waiver by
Lender of any breach or default of or by any party hereunder shall be deemed to
alter or affect Lender's rights hereunder with respect to any prior or
subsequent default.
10.8 RIGHT OF LENDER TO EXTEND TIME OF PAYMENT, SUBSTITUTE, RELEASE
SECURITY, ETC. Without affecting the liability of any Person or entity including
without limitation, for the payment of any of the Obligations or without
affecting or impairing Lender's Lien on 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 in such order
and manner as it may deem fit, or (f) join in any subordination or other
agreement affecting this Agreement or the lien or charge thereof.
10.9 ASSIGNMENT OF LENDER'S INTEREST. Lender shall have the right
to assign the Loan and all or any portion of its rights in or pursuant to this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to any subsequent holder or holders of
the Note or the Obligations evidenced thereby.
10.10 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,
70
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, (B) to demand and receive from time to time any and all
property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned and
transferred, or intended so to be, and to give receipts for same, (C) 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, (D) upon an Event of Default to change the
Borrower's post office mailing address, and (E) generally to do all and any such
acts and things in relation to the Collateral as Lender shall in good xxxxx xxxx
advisable. Borrower hereby declares that the appointment made and the powers
granted pursuant to this Section 10.10 are coupled with an interest and are and
shall be irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason, unless and
until a release of the same is executed by Lender and duly recorded in the
appropriate public records of Dallas County, Texas.
10.11 RELIEF FROM AUTOMATIC STAY, ETC. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, in the event the Borrower shall make application for or seek
relief or protection under the federal bankruptcy code ("Bankruptcy Code") or
other Debtor Relief Laws, or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed
against the Borrower under such Code or other Debtor Relief Laws, and not
dismissed with prejudice within 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) 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 the Lender as provided in the
Loan Documents.
SECTION 11 -- TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the security
interests granted hereby and the duties, covenants and liabilities of the
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. The Borrower expressly agrees that if the 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 provided for hereunder securing the same shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

12.2 SURVIVAL. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements 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 or pursuant to the Loan Documents
72
shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the
delivery to Lender of such Loan Documents (and each part thereof), regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of Lender.
12.3 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
(EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN TO THE CONTRARY) SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND,
EXCLUSIVE OF ITS CHOICE OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
12.4 LIMITATION ON INTEREST. Lender and Borrower intend to comply
at all times with applicable usury laws. All agreements between the 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 Documents 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 which would
exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of the Loan and not to the
payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal of the Loan, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest
paid or agreed to be paid to the 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 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 which 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 12.4, and this Section 12.4 shall govern over all other provisions in
any document or agreement now or hereafter existing. This Section 12.4 shall
never be superseded or waived unless there is a written document executed by
Lender and the 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.
12.5 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 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
73
unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added
automatically as a part of this Agreement and/or the 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.
12.6 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 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. This Agreement
and the transactions provided for or contemplated hereunder or under any of the
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 provided in advance in
a writing signed on behalf of Lender.
12.7 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and
no term or provision hereof may be waived, except by written instrument signed
by the Borrower and the Lender.
12.8 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 or more
counterparts hereof signed by Borrower.
12.9 LENDER NOT 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.
12.10 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPALS. 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.
12.11 TOTAL AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including the Exhibits and Schedules to them, is the entire agreement between
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, incorporates or rescinds all
prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the
subject matter hereof, cannot be changed or terminated orally or by course of
conduct, and shall be deemed effective as of the date it is accepted by Lender
at the offices set forth above. The documents evidencing the Existing Credit
Facilities and the Additional Credit Facility shall remain in full force and
effect.
12.12 LITIGATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE
LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY
74
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 VERBAL 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. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER WAIVES 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, THE BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF
LENDER, NOR 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. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
The waiver and stipulations of the Borrower and Lender in this Section
12.12 shall survive the final payment or performance of all of the Obligations
of the Borrower and the resulting termination of this Agreement.
12.13 INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS. This Agreement, together with all
Exhibits and Schedules hereto, constitute one document and agreement which is
referred to herein by the use of the defined term "Agreement." Such Exhibits and
Schedules are incorporated herein as to fully set out in this Agreement. The
definitions contained in any part of this Agreement shall apply to all parts of
this Agreement.
12.14 CONSENT TO ADVERTISING AND PUBLICITY OF TIMESHARE DOCUMENTS.
The Borrower hereby consents that Lender may issue and disseminate to the public
information describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this
Agreement, including the names and addresses of Borrower and any subsidiaries
and Affiliates, the amount and a general description of the Borrower's business.
12.15 DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. Where any provision in the Agreement
refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited
from taking, such provisions shall be applicable whether such action is taken
directly or indirectly by such Person.
