The preferred share purchase rights associated with each share of Bluegreen Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, any party hereto or any other Person, be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor, as the value of such preferred share purchase rights is included within the value of the associated share of Bluegreen Common Stock.

(b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or any other Person, be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that after the Effective Time, Woodbridge shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) All shares of Bluegreen Common Stock that are owned by BFC, Woodbridge or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of the Book-Entry Shares or the Certificates in accordance with Section 3.2 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to the Bluegreen Common Stock exchanged theretofore and represented by such Book-Entry Shares or Certificates.

(e) If at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time any change in the number of outstanding shares of Bluegreen Common Stock shall occur as a result of a stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the amount of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1(a) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

In the event the Consideration Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, BFC, Woodbridge or Merger Sub shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, additional funds to the Paying Agent in an amount equal to such deficiency.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1, (i) a letter of transmittal that shall specify that delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have occurred, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled. Upon surrender of a Book-Entry Share or a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and with such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions or as may reasonably be requested by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding of Taxes pursuant to Section 3.3, the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1, and the Book-Entry Share or Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than a Person in whose name the Book-Entry Share or Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Book-Entry Share or Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) The Consideration Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent if and as directed by Woodbridge; provided that any such investments shall be in cash or securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured as to principal and interest by the United States government or any agency or instrumentality thereof and having maturities of not more than one month from the date of investment. Earnings on the Consideration Fund shall be the sole and exclusive property of Woodbridge and shall be paid to Woodbridge as it directs. No investment of the Consideration Fund shall relieve Woodbridge or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III, and following any losses from any such investment, Woodbridge shall promptly provide, or cause to be provided, additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses, which additional funds shall be deemed to be part of the Consideration Fund.

(d) At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of Bluegreen shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Bluegreen Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration with respect to the Bluegreen Common Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to Section 3.1, except as otherwise provided by Law.

(e) Any portion of the Consideration Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the former shareholders of Bluegreen otherwise entitled thereto for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with the provisions of this Section 3.2 with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for Merger Consideration in respect thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Paying Agent, BFC, Woodbridge, Merger Sub, Bluegreen or the Surviving Corporation, nor any shareholder, partner, member, Representative or Affiliate thereof, shall be liable to any Person in respect of cash from the Consideration Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share who has not theretofore complied with the provisions of this Section 3.2 with respect thereto shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration in respect thereof.

(g) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (such affidavit shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Woodbridge and the Paying Agent) by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to which such Person is entitled in respect of such Certificate pursuant to Section 3.1.

(h) Prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated hereby and any other dispositions of equity securities of Bluegreen in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under such section of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

3.3 Withholding Rights. The Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including any payments made pursuant to the Merger and any payments made in respect of the Dissenting Shares) to any holder of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock or Bluegreen Stock Options, such amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Taxing authority by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock or Bluegreen Stock Options, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.4 Bluegreen Options and Stock Awards.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen shall take all actions necessary to cause each option to purchase shares of Bluegreen Common Stock issued by Bluegreen under any Bluegreen Equity Compensation Plan and outstanding at the Effective Time (each, a “Bluegreen Option”), whether or not vested or exercisable, to be canceled as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event no later than five Business Days after the Effective Time) a cash payment in respect of each share of Bluegreen Common Stock then subject to such Bluegreen Option, whether or not such Bluegreen Option was vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share with respect to such Bluegreen Option (subject to applicable Tax withholding requirements and without interest). No consideration shall be paid hereunder in respect of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock subject to Bluegreen Options which have an exercise price equal to or greater than the per share Merger Consideration.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen shall take all actions necessary to cause each restricted stock award and restricted stock unit award, if any, of Bluegreen Common Stock granted by Bluegreen under any Bluegreen Equity Compensation Plan and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Bluegreen Stock Award”) to become fully vested as of the Effective Time with respect to the maximum number of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock subject thereto, which shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in the same manner as other shares of Bluegreen Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen shall take all actions necessary to cause each Bluegreen Equity Compensation Plan to terminate as of the Effective Time.

3.5 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and unless otherwise provided by applicable Law, each share of Bluegreen Common Stock which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is owned by a shareholder who, pursuant to Sections 13.01-13.31 of the MBCA, duly and validly exercises and perfects his, her or its appraisal rights with respect to his, her or its shares of Bluegreen Common Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive, or be exchangeable for, the Merger Consideration, but, instead, the holder thereof, with respect to such Dissenting Shares, shall be entitled to payment in cash from the Surviving Corporation of the appraised value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.01-13.31 of the MBCA. If any such holder shall have failed to duly and validly exercise or perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights, each share of Bluegreen Common Stock of such holder as to which appraisal rights were not duly and validly exercised or perfected, or were effectively withdrawn or lost, shall not be deemed a Dissenting Share and shall automatically be converted into and shall thereafter be exchangeable only for the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Bluegreen will provide BFC and Woodbridge (i) prompt notice of any written demands received by Bluegreen for appraisal of shares of Bluegreen Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on and received by Bluegreen pursuant to the MBCA, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demands for appraisal under the MBCA. Bluegreen shall not, except with the prior written consent of BFC or Woodbridge, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, settle or offer to settle any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

7.3 No Solicitation.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until such time, if any, as Bluegreen’s shareholders approve this Agreement in accordance with the MBCA, subject to Section 7.3(b), without the prior written consent of Woodbridge, Bluegreen will not, and will not permit its directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other Representatives, agents or Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any Acquisition Proposals or any inquiries or proposals that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposals, (ii) engage in negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide any non-public information to any Person in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal or under circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) agree to, approve, recommend or otherwise endorse or support any Acquisition Proposal. As used herein, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any proposal relating to a possible (A) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise (whether in one or more transactions), of all or substantially all of the assets of Bluegreen and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (C) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other similar type of transaction involving Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries, (D) tender offer or exchange offer for ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen Common Stock, or other transaction involving Bluegreen in which any Person or group shall acquire or have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen Common Stock or (E) transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby or related thereto (or any modification thereof or proposal relating thereto). Bluegreen will, and will direct all of its directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other Representatives, agents and Affiliates to, immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(a) above, if a Person or group other than BFC or any of its Affiliates (any such Person or group, a “Third Party”) after the date of this Agreement submits to Bluegreen or its Board of Directors or Special Committee, not resulting from a breach of Section 7.3(a) above, an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal, and Bluegreen’s Board of Directors or Special Committee reasonably determines in good faith (i) after consultation with their Representatives that such Acquisition Proposal will result in, or upon further discussion with or due diligence by such Third Party could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in, a Superior Proposal and (ii) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the action set forth in (A) and (B) below may be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then, in such case Bluegreen may (A) furnish information about its business to the Third Party under protection of an appropriate confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all non-public written or oral information furnished to such Third Party, provided that Bluegreen contemporaneously furnishes to Woodbridge all such non-public information furnished to the Third Party and (B) negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations with such Third Party with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. In the event that, after the date of this Agreement and prior to such time, if any, as Bluegreen’s shareholders approve this Agreement in accordance with the MBCA, Bluegreen receives a Superior Proposal not in violation of Section 7.3(a) and Bluegreen’s Board of Directors or Special Committee determines, in good faith and after consultation with their Representatives, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with fiduciary duties owed by directors under applicable Law, then Bluegreen’s Board of Directors or Special Committee may: (x) withhold, withdraw, modify or change its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger and/or (y) if applicable, approve or recommend the Superior Proposal to Bluegreen’s shareholders, provided, in each case, Bluegreen provides Woodbridge with at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice stating that it intends to take such actions and setting forth the information specified in Section 7.3(c) with respect to any Superior Proposal which it intends to accept or recommend. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means any unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal for consideration consisting of cash (not subject to a financing contingency) and/or securities, and otherwise on terms which Bluegreen’s Board of Directors or Special Committee determines, after consultation with their Representatives, are more favorable to Bluegreen’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger or other revised proposal submitted by Woodbridge or its Affiliates prior to such determination, taking into account the ability of the Third Party to consummate the Superior Proposal on substantially the terms proposed. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Bluegreen from taking, and disclosing to its shareholders, a position required by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A of the SEC.

(c) Bluegreen will notify Woodbridge immediately, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, if (i) an Acquisition Proposal is made or is modified in any material respect (including, without limitation, any written material provided by the offeror, the principal terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or modification thereto and the identity of the offeror), in which case Bluegreen will provide a copy of the Acquisition Proposal concurrently with such notice or (ii) Bluegreen furnishes non-public information to, or enters into discussions or negotiations with respect to an Acquisition Proposal with, any Third Party.

(d) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 7.3(a), (b) and (c), Bluegreen, as promptly as practicable, will advise Woodbridge orally and in writing of any request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms and conditions of such request or inquiry, and keep Woodbridge informed in all material respects of the status of any such request or inquiry. Bluegreen shall also provide Woodbridge with prior telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of any meeting of its Board of Directors (or any committee thereof, including, the Special Committee) at which its Board of Directors or any such committee is expected or could reasonably be expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal, together with a copy of the documentation relating to such Acquisition Proposal to the extent such documentation is then available (and otherwise provide such documentation to Woodbridge as soon as available).

Each party will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Schedule 13E-3 complies in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, provided BFC, Woodbridge and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Bluegreen, on the other hand, assume no responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing, or failed to be supplied, by or on behalf of the other for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 13E-3. Prior to filing with the SEC, or mailing to shareholders, of the Proxy Statement, filing the Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC, or filing any other required document (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, each party shall provide the other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall include in such document or response comments reasonably proposed by the other party.

(a) After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of Bluegreen (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of Woodbridge, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Bluegreen if such Claim pertains to any matter or fact arising, existing or occurring before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger) regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, at or after the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), to the same extent provided for under the MBCA in effect as of the date hereof and under the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof. The Surviving Corporation shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the same extent provided for under the MBCA in effect on the date hereof and under the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable Law or the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.7(a), upon learning of any Claim, shall immediately notify Woodbridge (but the failure to so notify Woodbridge shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7.7(a) except to the extent such failure prejudices Woodbridge) and shall deliver to Woodbridge any undertaking required by applicable Law. The Surviving Corporation shall ensure, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, that all limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Articles of Organization or Bylaws of Bluegreen as in effect on the date hereof, or allowed under applicable Law as in effect on the date hereof with respect to Indemnified Liabilities, shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ and in-house counsel liability insurance maintained by Bluegreen (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amount containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous, or in lieu thereof obtain single limit tail coverage providing at least the same coverage and amount containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous for such period (which shall be purchased by Bluegreen immediately prior to Closing upon the request of Woodbridge)) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred before the Effective Time.

(c) The obligations of the Surviving Corporation provided under Section 7.7(a) and (b) are intended to be enforceable against the Surviving Corporation directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of the Surviving Corporation.

7.8 Further Assurances; Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use all reasonable efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable on the part of such party, to consummate and make effective the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the earliest practicable date, including, without limitation, obtaining all required consents, approvals, waivers, exemptions, amendments and authorizations, giving all notices, and making or effecting all filings, registrations, applications, designations and declarations, including, but not limited to, those described in the schedules to this Agreement, and each party shall cooperate fully with the others (including by providing any necessary information) with respect to the foregoing. In case, at any time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and/or directors of the parties shall use all reasonable efforts in good faith to take all such necessary action.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.8(a), at all times after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, (i) each of BFC, Woodbridge and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate any and all financings required in order to consummate the Merger (and promptly advise Bluegreen of any material developments with respect to such efforts and financings) and (ii) Bluegreen shall provide, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to provide, to BFC, Woodbridge and Merger Sub, such cooperation reasonably requested by them in connection with the arrangement, syndication (including marketing efforts in connection therewith) and consummation of such financings, including furnishing or making available financial and other information and documents, participating in meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions, and participating in the negotiation of, and executing and delivering, customary financing agreements and documents, including loan agreements, promissory notes, closing certificates and documents, and authorization letters, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Woodbridge; provided that (A) such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) no obligation of Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Lien on any of their respective assets, in connection with any such financing shall be effective until the Effective Time (other than any customary authorization letters) and (C) no director or officer of Bluegreen or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to execute any agreement, certificate, document or instrument with respect thereto that would be effective prior to the Effective Time.

7.9 Tax Treatment. The parties agree (a) that the Merger shall be treated for tax purposes as an acquisition of the shares of Bluegreen Common Stock by Woodbridge in consideration for the Merger Consideration and (b) to take any and all actions in connection therewith, including the reporting of the Merger in accordance therewith.

7.10 Shareholder Litigation. The parties shall cooperate and consult with one another, to the fullest extent possible, in connection with any shareholder litigation against any of them or any of their respective directors or officers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance of, and without in any way limiting, the foregoing, each of the parties shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to prevail in such litigation (or, with the consent of the other parties, settle such litigation) so as to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall compromise or settle any litigation commenced against it or any of its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Merger or other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.11 HSR Act. If, and to the extent, required, the parties will (a) take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to file as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement notifications under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger, (b) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request for additional information received from the Federal Trade Commission or Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice pursuant to the HSR Act and (c) request early termination of all applicable waiting periods.

7.12 Appointment of Directors. BFC shall use its best efforts to cause the directors of Bluegreen who are not directors of BFC immediately prior to the Effective Time to be appointed to the Board of Directors of BFC at the Effective Time.

7.13 Cancellation of Bluegreen Rights Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen shall cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to terminate the Bluegreen Rights Agreement and cause the Bluegreen Rights Agreement to be inapplicable to the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby.

7.14 Merger Sub Compliance. BFC and Woodbridge shall cause Merger Sub to comply promptly with all of Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, and Merger Sub shall not engage in any activities of any nature except as provided in, contemplated by or related to this Agreement, the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby.

7.15 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Bluegreen shall take such steps as may be reasonably required to cause dispositions of its securities pursuant to the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of Bluegreen to be exempt under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

10.9 Entire Agreement. All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are integral parts hereof, and this Agreement, together with such exhibits and schedules, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto.

10.10 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.11 Knowledge of the Parties. Where any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement is expressly qualified by reference to the knowledge of any of the parties hereto, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and confirms that it has made reasonable inquiry as to the matters that are the subject of such representations and warranties. Where reference is made to a party’s knowledge or any similar phrase, such reference shall be deemed to include the respective executive officers and directors of such party and each of its Subsidiaries, all of whom shall be deemed to have conducted the inquiry required in this Section 10.11.

10.12 Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses through all appeals in addition to any other remedy.

Except as permitted in Section 7.7, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.14 Injunctive Relief.

10.15 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that such transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
