(e) The Notes shall be paid as provided in the Indenture, and the
Agent shall allocate to the Noteholders each payment in respect of the Notes
received by the Agent in its capacity as Noteholder as provided therein. Except
as otherwise provided in the Indenture, payments in reduction of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes shall be applied (i) prior to Facility Termination Date,
first to Noteholders which are Committed Purchasers (which does not include
Non-Extending Purchasers), pro rata based on their respective Percentage
Interests of the Outstanding Amount of Notes; and, second, to Noteholders which
are Noncommitted Purchasers, pro rata based on their respective Percentage
Interests of the Outstanding Amount of Notes; and (ii) from and after Facility
Termination Date, to Noteholders
-10-
pro rata based on their respective Percentage Interests of the Outstanding
Amount of Notes, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected
Purchaser may agree upon in writing from time to time with the Agent and
Bluegreen.
(f) The Agent shall keep records of each Borrowing, each Interest
Period applicable thereto, the interest rate(s) applicable to the Notes and each
payment of principal and interest thereon. Such records shall be rebuttably
presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error.
(g) Notwithstanding any Joinder Supplement or Transfer Supplement, the
maximum aggregate of all Commitments shall equal the then current Facility
Limit.
Section 2.2. Reductions and Extensions of Commitments. (a) At any time the
Issuer may, acting at the direction of the Residual Interest Owner, upon at
least three Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent, terminate the
Commitments or reduce the aggregate Commitments. Each such partial reduction
shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amount requested by the Issuer to
which the Agent consents). Reductions of the aggregate Commitments pursuant to
this subsection 2.2(a) shall be allocated (i) to the Commitment of each
Committed Purchaser, other than a Commitment held as a Liquidity Provider, pro
rata based on the Commitment Percentage represented by such Commitment, and (ii)
to the aggregate Commitments of Liquidity Providers for each Noncommitted
Purchaser pro rata based on the Noncommitted Purchaser Percentage of such
Noncommitted Purchaser, and the portion of such reduction which is so allocated
to the aggregate Commitments of Liquidity Providers for a Noncommitted Purchaser
shall be allocated to the Commitment of each such Liquidity Provider pro rata
based on its respective Liquidity Percentage.
(b) On the Facility Termination Date, the Commitment of each Committed
Purchaser shall be automatically reduced to zero.
(c) Subject to the provisions of subsections 8.1(a) and 8.1(b), any
Person may from time to time with the consent of the Agent and the Issuer become
a party to this Agreement as an initial Noncommitted Purchasers or an initial
Committed Purchasers by (i) delivering to the Issuer an Investment Letter and
(ii) entering into an agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B hereto (a "Joinder Supplement"), with the Agent and the Issuer,
acknowledged by the Servicer, which shall specify (A) the name and address of
such Person for purposes of Section 9.2 hereof, (B) whether such Person will be
a Noncommitted Purchaser or Committed Purchaser and, if such Person will be a
Committed Purchaser, its Commitment and Commitment Expiration Date, (C) if such
Person is a Noncommitted Purchaser, the identity of its Liquidity Providers and
their respective Liquidity Percentages, (D) if such Person is a Liquidity
Provider, the Noncommitted Purchaser for which it is acting as such and the
portion of such Person's Commitment which is held by it in its capacity as
Liquidity Provider, and (E) the other information provided for in such form of
Joinder Supplement. Upon its receipt of a duly executed Joinder Supplement, the
Agent shall on the effective date determined pursuant thereto give notice of
such effectiveness to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.
-11-
(d) So long as no Amortization Event (NPA) has occurred and is
continuing (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent), no more than 60 and no less
than 30 days prior to the applicable Commitment Expiration Date, the Issuer may
request, through the Agent, that each Committed Purchaser extend the Commitment
Expiration Date to a date which is up to 364 days after the Commitment
Expiration Date then in effect, which decision will be made by each Committed
Purchaser in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of any such request, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Committed Purchaser thereof. At least 35 but not more
than 50 days prior to the applicable Commitment Expiration Date, each Committed
Purchaser shall notify the Agent of its willingness or refusal to so extend the
Commitment Expiration Date, and the Agent shall notify the Issuer of such
willingness or refusal by the Committed Purchasers on such 30th day (such day,
the "Extension Notice Deadline"). If any Committed Purchaser notifies the Agent
of its refusal to extend or does not expressly notify the Agent that it is
willing to extend the Commitment Expiration Date by the applicable Extension
Notice Deadline (each a "Non-Extending Purchaser"), the Commitment Expiration
Date shall not be so extended.
Section 2.3. Fees, Expenses, Payments, Etc. (a) Bluegreen agrees to pay to
the Agent for the account of the Purchasers, the Fees and other amounts set
forth in the Fee Letter at the times specified therein.
(b) Bluegreen further agrees to pay within 30 days following receipt
of an invoice therefor to the Agent and the initial Purchasers all reasonable
costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration (including any requested amendments, waivers or consents of any
of the Related Documents) of this Agreement and each related Support Facility,
and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith,
including the reasonable fees up to $75,000 (unless the Agent shall have
provided Bluegreen prior notice of extraordinary circumstance why such fees may
be in excess thereof) and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent and
each of the initial Purchasers with respect thereto
(c) Bluegreen agrees to pay to the Agent and, following the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Amortization Event (NPA) other than one arising
from the failure of the Obligors to make payments on the Receivables, each
Purchaser, promptly following presentation of an invoice therefor, all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel), if any, in connection with the enforcement of any of the Related
Documents, and the other documents delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith.
(d) Bluegreen further agrees to pay on demand any and all stamp,
transfer and other taxes and governmental fees payable in connection with the
execution, delivery, filing and recording of any of the Related Documents and
each related Support Facility or the other documents and agreements to be
delivered hereunder and thereunder or otherwise in connection with the issuance
of the Notes, and agrees to save each Purchaser and the Agent harmless from and
against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or
any omission to pay such taxes and fees.
-12-
(e) Periodic fees or other periodic amounts payable hereunder shall be
calculated, unless otherwise specified in the Fee Letter, on the basis of a
360-day year and for the actual days elapsed.
(f) All payments to be made hereunder or under the Indenture, whether
on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without
setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:30 p.m., New York City time,
on the due date thereof to the Agent's account specified in subsection 9.2(b)
hereof, in United States dollars and in immediately available funds. Payments
received by the Agent after 2:30 p.m. New York City time shall be deemed to have
been made on the next Business Day. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if any payment due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, the payment date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and in the case of principal, interest shall accrue
thereon at the applicable rate during such extension. To the extent that (i) the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Issuer or the Servicer makes a
payment to the Agent or a Purchaser or (ii) the Agent or a Purchaser receives or
is deemed to have received any payment or proceeds for application to an
obligation, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a Indenture Trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law, state or Federal law, common law, or for equitable
cause, then, to the extent such payment or proceeds are set aside, the
obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been
received or deemed received by the Agent or the Purchasers, as the case may be.
Section 2.4. Indemnification. (a) Bluegreen (the "Indemnitor") agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Purchaser and any directors,
officers, employees or agents, of the Agent or Purchasers (each such Person
being referred to as an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable
fees and expenses of legal counsel) which such Indemnitee may incur (or which
may be claimed against such Indemnitee) arising out of, by reason of or in
connection with the execution and delivery of, or payment or other performance
under, or the failure to make payments or perform under, any Related Document or
the issuance of the Notes (including in connection with the preparation for
defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related
to or in connection with such execution, delivery, payment, performance or
issuance), except (i) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss,
liability, cost or expense shall be caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith,
recklessness or gross negligence of, or breach of any representation or warranty
in any Related Document by, any Indemnitee, (ii) to the extent that any such
claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense is covered or addressed by
subsection 2.3(c) or (d) hereof, (iii) to the extent that any such claim,
damage, loss, liability, cost or expense relates to disclosure made by the Agent
or a Purchaser in connection with an Assignment or Participation pursuant to
Section 8.1 of this Agreement which disclosure is not based on information given
to the Agent or such Purchaser by or on behalf of Bluegreen, or any affiliate
thereof or by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or (iv) to the extent that
such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense shall be caused by any
default in payment of any Receivable. The foregoing indemnity shall include any
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to which any such
Indemnitee may become subject under Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
-13-
amended, or other federal or state law or regulation arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any
disclosure document relating to the Notes or any amendments thereof or
supplements thereto, in any case, provided or approved by the Issuer (other than
statements provided by the Indemnitee expressly for inclusion therein) or
arising out of, or based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein or any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading (other than with respect to statements provided by the Indemnitee
expressly for inclusion therein).
(b) Promptly after the receipt by an Indemnitee of a notice of the
commencement of any action against an Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will notify
the Agent and the Agent will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an Indemnitor pursuant to subsection 2.4(a), notify such Indemnitor in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify such party
will not relieve such party from any liability which it may have to such
Indemnitee pursuant to the preceding paragraph except to the extent the
Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. If any such action is brought against
an Indemnitee and it notifies an Indemnitor of its commencement, such Indemnitor
will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it so elects by
delivering written notice to the Indemnitee promptly after receiving notice of
the commencement of the action from the Indemnitee to assume the defense of any
such action, with a single counsel mutually satisfactory to such Indemnitor and
each affected Indemnitee. After receipt of such notice by an Indemnitor from an
Indemnitee, such Indemnitor will not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal
or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs
of investigation incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of
such action. Each Indemnitee will have the right to employ its own counsel in
any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will
be at the expense of the such Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such
counsel by such Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by such Indemnitor,
(ii) such Indemnitor shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel,
(iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and either an Indemnitor or
another person or entity that may be entitled to indemnification from an
Indemnitor (by virtue of this Section 2.4 or otherwise) and such Indemnitee
shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such Indemnitee which are different from or additional to those
available to an Indemnitor or such other party or shall otherwise have
reasonably determined that the co-representation would present such counsel with
a conflict of interest (in which case the Indemnitor will not have the right to
direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee). In any such case
described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the
Indemnitor; it being understood that in no event shall the Indemnitors be liable
for the fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one counsel (in
addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnitees in connection with any one
action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances. An Indemnitor shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without its written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the
written consent of an Indemnitor or if there shall be a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnitor agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this
letter from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or reasonable expense
by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnitor shall, without the prior
written consent
-14-
of an Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder,
if such settlement, compromise or consent includes an admission of culpability
or wrong-doing on the part of such Indemnitee or the entry or an order,
injunction or other equitable or nonmonetary relief (including any
administrative or other sanctions or disqualifications) against such Indemnitee
or if such settlement, compromise or consent does not include an unconditional
release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding.
(c) The obligations of Bluegreen under this Agreement shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
neither the lack of validity or enforceability of, or any modification to, any
Related Document nor the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other than a
defense of payment) or other right which Bluegreen may have at any time against
the Agent, any Purchaser, any Support Party or any other Person, whether in
connection with any Related Document or any unrelated transactions, shall
constitute a defense to such obligations.
Section 2.5. Amortization Events. If any Amortization Event (NPA) shall
occur and be continuing, (A) if such event is an Amortization Event (NPA)
specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (d) of the definition thereof, the
Commitment of each Committed Purchaser shall automatically be reduced to zero,
and (B) if such event is any other Amortization Event (NPA), with the consent of
the Required Purchasers and the Required Noteholders, the Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Purchasers and the Required Noteholders, the Agent
shall, by notice to the Issuer, reduce the Commitments of each Committed
Purchaser to zero, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately be reduced to
zero.
Section 2.6. Notification of Note Interest Rate. (a) On the third Business
Day immediately preceding each Determination Date, the Agent shall calculate the
Note Interest Rate and the Note Monthly Interest applicable to all Notes for the
applicable Interest Period and shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer of such rate and amount by written notice. Such rate and amount shall
be calculated using an estimate of the Note Interest Rate, if necessary, for the
remaining days in such Interest Period.
(b) On or before the third Business Day immediately preceding each
Determination Date, if the Agent shall have used an estimate of the Note
Interest Rate and Note Monthly Interest with respect to the preceding Interest
Period, the Agent shall compute the actual Note Interest Rate and Note Monthly
Interest applicable to the Notes for such Interest Period, and if the actual
Note Monthly Interest so computed (i) is greater than the estimated Note Monthly
Interest for such preceding Interest Period, the Note Monthly Interest so
calculated for the current Interest Period shall be increased by the amount of
such difference and (ii) is less than the estimated Note Monthly Interest for
such preceding Interest Period, the Note Monthly Interest so calculated for the
current Interest Period shall be decreased by the amount of such difference.

with their respective terms, subject, as to such enforceability, to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws relating to or

warranty is made with respect to the enforceability of its obligations under any
indemnification provisions in such agreements to the extent that indemnification
is sought in connection with securities laws violations.

other agreements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a
material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this

this Agreement and the Related Documents, the Indenture is not required to be

SECTION VI. INCREASED COSTS, INCREASED CAPITAL, ETC.
Section 6.1. Increased Costs. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4, if,
due to the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the Interpretation of
any law or regulation or the imposition of any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority after the date hereof, there shall
be an increase in the cost to an Affected Party of making, funding or
maintaining any investment in the Notes or any interest therein or of agreeing
to purchase or invest in the Notes or any interest therein, as the case may be
(other than by reason of any Interpretation of or change in laws or regulations
relating to Taxes or Excluded Taxes), the Issuer shall, upon written demand by
such Affected Party (or, if such Affected Party is not a Purchaser, by the
Purchaser from whom such Affected Party derives its rights) (with a copy to the
Agent), direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to pay to the Agent for the
benefit of such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of an
Affected Party that is not also a Purchaser hereunder) that portion of such
increased costs incurred which such Affected Party reasonably determines is
attributable to making, funding or maintaining any investment in the Notes or
any
-30-
interest therein or agreeing to purchase or invest in the Notes or any interest
therein, as the case may be. In determining such amount, such Affected Party may
use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, consistent with the
averaging and attribution methods generally used by such Affected Party in
determining amounts of this type. A certificate as to such increased costs
incurred submitted to the Issuer and the Agent, setting forth the calculation
thereof in reasonable detail, shall be prima facie evidence as to the amount of
such increased costs. Any Affected Party that incurs such increased costs as
described in this Section 6.1 (or, if such Affected Party is not a Purchaser,
the Purchaser from whom such Affected Party derives its rights) shall use its
best efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to take such steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such
increased costs; provided that no such steps shall be required to be taken if,
in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Party, such steps would be
materially disadvantageous to such Affected Party.
Section 6.2. Increased Capital. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4,
if the introduction of or any change in or in the Interpretation of any law or
regulation or the imposition of any guideline or request from any central bank
or other Governmental Authority after the date hereof, affects or would affect
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Affected
Party after the date hereof, and such Affected Party determines that the amount
of such capital is increased as a result of (i) the existence of such Affected
Party's agreement to make or maintain an investment in the Notes or any interest
therein or (ii) the existence of any agreement by such Affected Party to make or
maintain an investment in the Notes or any interest therein or to fund any such
investment after the date hereof, then, upon written demand by such Affected
Party (or, if such Affected Party is not a Purchaser, by the Purchaser from whom
such Affected Party derives its rights) (with a copy to the Agent), the Issuer
shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to pay to the Agent for the
benefit of such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of an
Affected Party that is not also a Purchaser hereunder), additional amounts, as
specified by such Affected Party, sufficient to compensate such Affected Party
in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party
reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocated to the existence
of such Affected Party's agreement described in clause (i) above or the
commitments of such Affected Party described in clause (ii) above. In
determining such amounts, such Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging
and attribution methods, consistent with the averaging and distribution methods
generally used by such Affected Party in determining amounts of this type. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Issuer and the Agent by such
Affected Party (or, if such Affected Party is not a Purchaser, by the Purchaser
from whom such Affected Party derives its rights), setting forth the calculation
thereof in reasonable detail, shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so
owed. Any Affected Party that is entitled to compensation for increases in
capital as described in this Section 6.2 shall use its best efforts (consistent
with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take such
steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such compensation; provided
that no such steps shall be required to be taken if, in the reasonable judgment
of such Affected Party, such steps would be materially disadvantageous to such
Affected Party.
Section 6.3. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be
made hereunder or under the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to or
for the benefit of a Purchaser shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
-31-
all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings imposed on, or measured by reference to, the
net income of such Purchaser, franchise taxes imposed on such Purchaser, and
taxes (other than withholding taxes), levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings imposed on the receipt or gross receipts of such Purchaser by any
of (i) the United States or any State thereof, (ii) the state or foreign
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Purchaser is organized, with which it
has a present or former connection (other than solely by reason of this
Agreement), or in which it is otherwise doing business or (iii) any political
subdivision thereof (all such excluded items being referred to as "Excluded
Taxes" and all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings
and liabilities other than Excluded Taxes being referred to as "Taxes"). If the
Indenture Trustee, as directed by the Agent, shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum required to be paid or deposited
hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder to or for the benefit of a
Purchaser (A) subject to Section 6.4 below, such sum shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums required to be paid or deposited under this
Section 6.3) the amount received by such Purchaser, or otherwise deposited
hereunder or under such instrument, shall be equal to the sum which would have
been so received or deposited had no such deductions been made, (B) the
Indenture Trustee, as directed by the Agent, shall make such deductions and (C)
the Indenture Trustee, as directed by the Agent, shall pay the full amount of
such deductions to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable laws.
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 6.3(d) and
Section 6.4 below, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to indemnify
each Noteholder for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 6.3) paid by such Noteholder
due to the modification of or any change in or in the interpretation or
administration by any governmental or regulatory agency or body charged with the
interpretation or administration of any law or regulation relating to Taxes
after the date hereof (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or required to be paid with respect thereto. Each Noteholder (or, if
such Noteholder is not a Purchaser, the Purchaser from whom such Noteholder
derives its rights) agrees to promptly notify the Agent and the Issuer of any
payment of such Taxes made by it and, if practicable, any request, demand or
notice received in respect thereof prior to such payment. Each Noteholder shall
be entitled to payment of this indemnification within 30 days from the date such
Noteholder (or, if such Noteholder is not a Purchaser, the Purchaser from whom
such Noteholder derives its rights) makes written demand therefor to the Agent
and the Issuer. A certificate as to the amount of such indemnification submitted
to the Issuer and the Agent by such Noteholder setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be prima facie evidence
of the amounts so owed.
(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Issuer
will furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.
(d) Each Noteholder that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the United States or a state thereof hereby agrees to complete,
execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee from time to time prior to the date
on which such Noteholder will be entitled to receive distributions pursuant to
the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, Internal
Revenue Service W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or any successor form), as
-32-
applicable, or such other forms or certificates as may be required under the
laws of any applicable jurisdiction in order to permit the Indenture Trustee to
make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Noteholder
hereunder and under the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this
Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax.
Each Noteholder agrees to provide, to the extent permitted by law, like
additional subsequent duly executed forms on or before the date that any such
form expires or becomes obsolete, or upon the occurrence of any event requiring
an amendment, resubmission or change in the most recent form previously
delivered by it and to provide such extensions or renewals as may be reasonably
requested by the Issuer. Each Noteholder further agrees that compliance with
this subsection 6.3(d) (including by reason of Section 8.1 in the case of any
assignment, sale or other transfer of any interest in the Notes) is a condition
to the payment of any amount otherwise due pursuant to subsections 6.3(a) and
(b) hereof.
(e) Each Purchaser, as of the date hereof, and each other Noteholder,
as of the date such Person becomes an Noteholder entitled to receive
distributions pursuant to this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or
the Indenture, hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer that it is not
subject to gross-up or indemnity of Taxes under subsection 6.3(a) or (b) from or
in any respect of any sum required to be paid or deposited under this Agreement,
the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or under any instrument
delivered pursuant to any of them to or for the benefit of any Noteholder.
(f) Any Noteholder entitled to the payment of any additional amount
pursuant to this Section 6.3 (or, if such Noteholder is not a Purchaser, the
Purchaser from whom such Noteholder derives its rights) shall use its best
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to take such steps as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such
payment; provided that no such steps shall be required to be taken if, in the
reasonable judgment of such Noteholder, such steps would be materially
disadvantageous to such Noteholder.
Section 6.4. Nonrecourse Obligations; Limited Recourse. (a) Notwithstanding
any provision in any other Section of this Agreement or the Related Documents to
the contrary, the obligation of the Issuer to pay any amounts payable to the
Purchasers or any Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement shall be without
recourse to the Issuer (or its assignee, if applicable), the Indenture Trustee
or any Affiliate, officer or director of any of them and the obligation to pay
any amounts hereunder shall be limited solely to the application of the Trust
Estate, to the extent that such amounts are available for distribution.
(b) Other than in respect of the payment of the Purchase Price,
notwithstanding any provision in any other Section of this Agreement to the
contrary, all payments to be made by a Structured Purchaser under this Agreement
shall be made by such Structured Purchaser solely from available cash, which
shall be limited to collections and other amounts payable to such Structured
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture and other cash of such
Structured Purchaser that, in each case, is not designated to pay any other
amount. The parties to this Agreement other than each Structured Purchaser (the
"Other Parties") hereby acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, each Structured Purchaser is or may be required from time to time to
make certain payments to one or more of the Other Parties, either as
compensation for services rendered, reimbursement for out-of-pocket
-33-
expenses, indemnification or otherwise. The Other Parties hereby agree that,
notwithstanding any provision in any other Section of this Agreement to the
contrary, (i) no Structured Purchaser shall make any such payment to any Other
Party, (ii) no Structured Purchaser shall have any duty, liability or obligation
to make any such payment to any Other Party, (iii) no such payment shall be due
from any Structured Purchaser and (iv) no Other Party shall have any right to
enforce any claim against any Structured Purchaser in respect of any such
payment, in each case at any time that any commercial paper notes issued by such
Structured Purchaser are outstanding and no Bankruptcy Event (as defined below)
has occurred and is continuing, in each case, unless and to the extent that (x)
the making of such payment by such Structured Purchaser would not render such
Structured Purchaser insolvent and (y) such Structured Purchaser has received
funds with respect to such obligations which may be used to make such payment
and such funds are not required to pay commercial paper notes of such Purchaser
when due. As used in this subsection 6.4(b), "Bankruptcy Event" means the entry
against a Structured Purchaser of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs, or the institution of any proceeding
against such Structured Purchaser seeking any of the foregoing, and the
continuance of any such decree or order, or any such proceeding, in each case
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or the consent by
such Structured Purchaser to the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver
or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such Structured Purchaser
or the filing by such Structured Purchaser of a petition seeking to adjudicate
it a bankrupt or insolvent or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization or
relief of debtors or seeking the entry of any order for relief or the
appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs.
SECTION VII. THE AGENT
Section 7.1. Appointment. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints the Agent as the agent of such Purchaser under this Agreement, and each
such Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Agent, as the agent for such
Purchaser, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Related
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties thereunder as are
expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Related Documents, together
with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have
any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any
fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist against the Agent.
Section 7.2. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties
under any of the Related Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
-34-
Section 7.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a)
liable to any of the Purchasers for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with any of the other Related
Documents (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Seller, the
Depositor, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee or any officer
thereof contained in any of the other Related Documents or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by the Agent under or in connection with, any of the other Related Documents or
for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or for any
failure of the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture
Trustee to perform its obligations thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any of the
other Related Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the
Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Servicer, or the Indenture Trustee.
Section 7.4. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or
teletype message, written statement, order or other document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to the Agent), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under any of the Related Documents unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Noteholders and the Required
Purchasers as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Purchasers or by the Committed Purchasers against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any of the Related
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Noteholders and the
Required Purchasers and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all present and future Purchasers.
Section 7.5. Notices. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of
any event which is, or upon the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both
would be, an Amortization Event (NPA) unless the Agent has received written
notice from the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee or any Purchaser referring to this Agreement, describing such event. In
the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent promptly shall give
notice thereof to the Purchasers. The Agent shall take such action with respect
to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Noteholders and
the Required Purchasers; provided that unless and until the Agent shall have
received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as
it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.
Section 7.6. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser
expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees,
-35-
agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Servicer or
the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Agent to any Purchaser. Each Purchaser represents to the Agent
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer and the Servicer and
made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under any of the Related Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Indenture Trustee, the Seller,
the Depositor, the Issuer and the Servicer. Except, in the case of the Agent,
for notices, reports and other documents received by the Agent under Section 5
hereof, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer
or the Servicer which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section 7.7. Indemnification. The Committed Purchasers agree to indemnify
the Agent in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of
the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Servicer to reimburse the Agent for
any such amounts), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages
(or, if the Commitments have terminated, Percentage Interests), from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which
may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the obligations
under this Agreement, including the Outstanding Amount of the Notes) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Purchaser
shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of the Agent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the
obligations under this Agreement, including the principal of the Notes.
Section 7.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacities. The Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner
Trustee, the Depositor and the Issuer as though the Agent was not the agent
hereunder. Each Purchaser acknowledges that ING Capital LLC may act (i) as
administrator and agent for one or more Structured Purchasers and in such
capacity acts and may continue to act on behalf of each such Structured
Purchaser in connection with its business and (ii) as the agent for certain
financial institutions under the liquidity and credit enhancement agreements
relating to this Agreement to which any such Structured
-36-
Purchaser is party and in various other capacities relating to the business of
any such Structured Purchaser under various agreements. ING Capital LLC, in its
capacity as the Agent shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other
capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to
a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as the Agent
other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. ING Capital LLC may act as
the Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising
from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any
such other capacity.
Section 7.9. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days'
notice to the Purchasers, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Depositor, the
Seller and the Servicer with such resignation becoming effective upon a
successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent
pursuant to this subsection 7.9. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this
Agreement, then the Required Purchasers and the Required Noteholders shall
appoint from among the Committed Purchasers a successor agent for the
Purchasers. The successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties
of the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective
upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent
shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the retiring
Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 7 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION VIII. SECURITIES LAWS; TRANSFERS
Section 8.1. Transfers of Notes. (a) Each of the Agent and the Noteholders
agrees that any interest in the Notes purchased or otherwise acquired by it will
be acquired for investment only and not with a view to any distribution thereof,
and that it will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of any Note acquired by
it (or any interest therein) in violation of any of the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or the registration or qualification
requirements of any applicable state or other securities laws. Each of the Agent
and the Noteholders acknowledges that it has no right to require the Issuer to
register, under the Securities Act or any other securities law, the Notes (or
any interest therein) acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement, any Joinder
Supplement or any Transfer Supplement. Each of the Agent and the Noteholders
hereby confirms and agrees that in connection with any transfer or syndication
by it of an interest in the Notes, it has not engaged and will not engage in a
general solicitation or general advertising including advertisements, articles,
notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar
media or broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar or meeting whose
attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
Each Purchaser which executes a Joinder Agreement agrees that it will execute
and deliver to the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Agent on or before the effective date of its Joinder
Agreement a letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an "Investment
Letter") with respect to the purchase by such Purchaser of an interest in the
Notes.
(b) Each initial purchaser of a Note or any interest therein and any
Assignee thereof or Participant therein shall certify to the Issuer, the Seller,
the Servicer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent that it is
either (A)(i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or
partnership (or any other entity treated as a corporation or a partnership for
federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States
-37-
or any political subdivision thereof which, if such entity is a tax-exempt
entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Notes may constitute
unrelated business taxable income or (iii) a person not described in (i) or (ii)
whose income from the Notes is and will be effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business within the United States (within the meaning of
the Code) and whose ownership of any interest in a Note will not result in any
withholding obligation with respect to any payments with respect to the Notes by
any Person and who will furnish to the Agent, the Seller, the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee, and to the Owner making the Transfer a properly executed U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or any successor form) (and to
agree (to the extent legally able) to provide a new Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or
any successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously
delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United
States laws), (B) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income
for United States federal income tax purposes or (C) a trust if a court within
the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of such trust and one or more United States fiduciaries have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
(c) Any sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition (a "Transfer") of a Note or any interest
therein may be made only in accordance with this Section 8.1. Any Transfer of a
Note, an interest in a Note, a Commitment or any Noncommitted Purchaser
Percentage shall be in respect of (i) in the case of a Committed Purchaser, at
least $10,000,000 in the aggregate, which may be composed of (A) outstanding
principal under the Notes or (B) to the extent in excess of the outstanding
principal subject to such Transfer, its Commitment hereunder, or (ii) in the
case of a Noncommitted Purchaser, at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate, which
may be composed of (A) outstanding principal under the Notes or (B) to the
extent in excess of the outstanding principal subject to such Transfer, the
product of the Noncommitted Purchaser Percentage subject to such Transfer times
the aggregate Commitments hereunder. Any Transfer of an interest in a Note
otherwise permitted by this Section 8.1 will be permitted only if it consists of
a pro rata percentage interest in all payments made with respect to the
Purchaser's beneficial interest in such Note. No Note or any interest therein
may be Transferred by Assignment or Participation to any Person (each, a
"Transferee") unless prior to the transfer the Transferee shall have executed
and delivered to the Agent and the Issuer an Investment Letter.
Each of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer
authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any Transferee and Support Party and
any prospective Transferee or Support Party any and all financial information in
the Purchaser's possession concerning the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor
and the Issuer which has been delivered to the Agent or such Purchaser pursuant
to the Related Documents (including information obtained pursuant to rights of
inspection granted hereunder) or which has been delivered to such Purchaser by
or on behalf of the Seller, the Issuer, the Depositor or the Servicer in
connection with such Purchaser's credit evaluation of the Seller, the Issuer,
the Depositor or the Servicer prior to becoming a party to, or purchasing an
interest in this Agreement or the Notes, provided that each such Transferee,
prospective Transferee and Support Party agrees in writing to maintain the
confidentiality of such information pursuant to the following paragraph.
The Agent and each Purchaser, severally and with respect to itself
only, covenants and agrees that any information obtained by the Agent or such
Purchaser pursuant to,
-38-
or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement or the other Related Documents
shall be held in confidence (it being understood that documents provided to the
Agent hereunder may in all cases be distributed by the Agent to the Purchasers)
except that the Agent or such Purchaser may disclose such information (i) to its
officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors
or representatives who have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of
such information, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to
the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Agent or
such Purchaser, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Agent
or such Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to the
Agent or such Purchaser in connection with this transaction, (iv) with the
consent of the Servicer, (v) to the extent permitted by the preceding paragraph,
(vi) to the extent the Agent or such Purchaser should be (A) required in
connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any
Governmental Authority to disclose such information or (vii) in the case of any
Purchaser that is a Structured Purchaser, to rating agencies, placement agents
and providers of liquidity and credit support who agree to hold such information
in confidence; provided, that, in the case of clause (vi), the Agent or such
Purchaser, as the case may be, will (unless otherwise prohibited by law or in
connection with regular regulatory reviews) notify the Servicer of its intention
to make any such disclosure as early as practicable prior to making such
disclosure and cooperate with the Servicer in connection with any action to
obtain a protective order with respect to such disclosure.
(d) Each Purchaser may, in accordance with applicable law (which
includes applicable securities laws), at any time grant participations in all or
part of its Commitment or its interest in the Notes, including the payments due
to it under this Agreement and the Indenture (each, a "Participation"), to any
Person (each, a "Participant"); provided, however, that no Participation shall
be granted to any Person unless and until the Agent shall have consented thereto
and the conditions to Transfer specified in this Agreement, including in
subsection 8.1(c) hereof, shall have been satisfied and that such Participation
consists of a pro rata percentage interest in all payments made with respect to
such Purchaser's beneficial interest (if any) in the Notes. In connection with
any such Participation, the Agent shall maintain a register of each Participant
and the amount of each Participation. Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and
agrees that (A) any such Participation will not alter or affect such Purchaser's
direct obligations hereunder, and (B) none of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer,
the Depositor, the Seller nor the Servicer shall have any obligation to have any
communication or relationship with any Participant. No Participant shall be
entitled to transfer all or any portion of its Participation, without the prior
written consent of the Agent. Each Participant shall be entitled to receive
indemnification pursuant to Sections 2.4 as if such Participant were a Purchaser
and such Sections applied to its Participation. Each Purchaser shall give the
Agent notice of the consummation of any sale by it of a Participation and the
Agent (upon receipt of notice from the related Purchaser) shall promptly notify
the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. No Participant shall have
the right to approve any amendment or waiver of the terms of this Agreement
except with respect to those matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
proviso to Section 9.1.
(e) Each Purchaser may, with the consent of the Agent and the Servicer
(which shall not unreasonably be withheld) and in accordance with applicable law
(which includes applicable securities laws), sell or assign (each, an
"Assignment"), to any Person (each, an "Assignee") all or any part of its
Commitment or its interest in the Notes and its
-39-
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture pursuant to an
agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C hereto (a
"Transfer Supplement"), executed by such Assignee and the Purchaser and
delivered to the Agent and the Servicer for their acceptance and consent;
provided, however, that no such assignment or sale shall be effective unless and
until the conditions to Transfer specified in this Agreement, including in
subsection 8.1(c) hereof, shall have been satisfied; and provided further,
however, that the consent of the Servicer shall not be required (i) in the case
of an assignment by a Noncommitted Purchaser of its interest in the Notes and
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture to any one or
more of its Support Parties, (ii) in the case of an assignment by a Liquidity
Provider to another Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the related
Support Agreement, (iii) in the case of an assignment by any Purchaser to
another Purchaser, (iv) in the case of any assignment to any Affiliates of the
Agent, or (v) in the case of an assignment by the initial Noncommitted Purchaser
of its interest in the Notes and its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the Indenture to any Structured Purchaser (A) which is administered by the
same Person as such Noncommitted Purchaser, (B) which becomes a party to the
Agreement and (C) which expects to have a cost of funds reasonably similar to
the cost of funds of such Noncommitted Purchaser. From and after the effective
date determined pursuant to such Transfer Supplement, (x) the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Transfer
Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder as set
forth therein and (y) the transferor Purchaser shall, to the extent provided in
such Transfer Supplement, be released from its Commitment and other obligations
under this Agreement; provided, however, that after giving effect to each such
Assignment, the obligations released by any such Purchaser shall have been
assumed by an Assignee or Assignees. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to
amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect
the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Percentage
Interests, Committed Purchaser Percentages, Noncommitted Purchaser Percentages,
Liquidity Percentages or Commitment Percentages arising from the Assignment.
Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed Transfer Supplement, the
Agent shall on the effective date determined pursuant thereto give notice of
such acceptance to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer will provide notice thereof to each Rating Agency (if required).
Upon instruction to register a transfer of a Purchaser's beneficial
interest in the Notes (or portion thereof) and surrender for registration of
transfer such Purchaser's Note(s) (if applicable) and delivery to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee of an Investment Letter, executed by the registered owner
(and the beneficial owner if it is a Person other than the registered owner),
and receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a copy of the duly executed related
Transfer Supplement and such other documents as may be required under this
Agreement, such beneficial interest in the Notes (or portion thereof) shall be
transferred in the records of the Indenture Trustee and the Agent and, if
requested by the Assignee, new Notes shall be issued to the Assignee and, if
applicable, the transferor Purchaser in amounts reflecting such Transfer as
provided in the Indenture. Such Transfers of Notes (and interests therein) shall
be subject to this Section 8.1 in lieu of any regulations which may be
prescribed under Section 6.3 of the Indenture. Successive registrations of
Transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such
registration of a transfer to a new registered owner shall be noted on the Note
Register.
-40-
(f) Each Purchaser may pledge its interest in the Notes to any Federal
Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with applicable law.
(g) Any Purchaser shall have the option to change its Investing
Office.
(h) Each Affected Party shall be entitled to receive indemnification
pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof as though it were a Purchaser and such Section
applied to its interest in or commitment to acquire an interest in the Notes.

Re BXG RECEIVABLES NOTE TRUST 2001-A

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (the "Investment Letter") is delivered by the undersigned (the
"Purchaser") pursuant to subsection 8.1(a) of the Amended and Restated Note
Purchase Agreement dated as of April 17, 2002 (as in effect, the "Note Purchase
Agreement"), among BXG RECEIVABLES NOTE TRUST 2001-A, as Issuer, BLUEGREEN
CORPORATION, as Seller and Servicer, BLUEGREEN RECEIVABLES FINANCE CORPORATION
V, as Depositor, the Purchasers parties thereto and ING Capital LLC, as Agent.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set
forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser represents to and agrees
with the Issuer as follows:
(a) The Purchaser is authorized [to enter into the Note Purchase
Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby] [to purchase a participation or other
interest in obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement].
(b) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Notes and is able to bear the economic risk of such
investment. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask such
questions as it deems necessary to make an investment decision, and has received
all information it has requested in connection with making such investment
decision. The Purchaser has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent
or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer and
made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes, and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser, and
based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Note Purchase
Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself
as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer.
(c) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor ,"as defined in Rule 501,
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and (except as
otherwise agreed to by the Issuer in its sole discretion) is a "qualified
institutional buyer" (within the meaning of Rule 144A thereunder) and is
acquiring the Notes (or an interest in the Notes) for its own account for
investment purposes. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the
Notes (or any interest in therein) has not been and will not be registered under
the Securities Act and has not and will not be registered or qualified under any
applicable "Blue Sky" law, and that the offering and sale of the Note (or any
interest in therein) has not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any
federal or state agency or commission, securities exchange or other regulatory
body.
(d) The Purchaser is "a qualified purchaser" (as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act")), a
company each of whose beneficial owners is a qualified purchaser, a
"knowledgeable employee" with respect to the Issuer (within the meaning of Rule
3c-5 and the Investment Company Act) or a company owned exclusively by
knowledgeable employees.
(e) The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (each
such plan, an "Employee Plan"), an entity whose underlying assets include the
assets of any Employee Plan, or a governmental plan that is subject to any
federal, state or local law which is substantially similar to the provisions of
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and the Purchaser's purchase,
holding and disposition of the Notes will not result in a prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a
governmental plan, any substantially similar federal, state or local law) for
which an exemption is not available.
(f) The Purchaser is acquiring an interest in Notes without a view to
any distribution, resale or other transfer thereof except, with respect to any
Purchaser Interest or any interest or participation therein, as contemplated in
the following sentence. The Purchaser will not resell or otherwise transfer any
interest or participation in the Purchaser Interest, except in accordance with
Section 8.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement and in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws. In connection therewith, the
Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not resell or otherwise transfer the Notes
or any interest therein unless the purchaser thereof provides to the addressee
hereof a letter substantially in the form hereof.
(g) This Investment Letter has been duly executed and delivered and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser,
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by
-2-
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable
principles affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general
principles of equity.
(h) The Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Note Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the confidentiality
provision and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Article VIII thereof.
