ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF RECEIVABLES
Section 2.1. Sales.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Trust
Depositor shall sell and assign to the Trust the Trust Assets from time to time
designated and identified for purchase in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof,
and the Trust agrees to make such purchases from time to time (the first such
date, the "Initial Transfer Date") during the period from the Closing Date to
but not including the Purchase Period Termination Date (the first such sale and
purchase to be effected hereunder, the "Initial Purchase"; each subsequent sale
and purchase, an "Incremental Purchase"; and any such sale and purchase, a
"Purchase"). Under no circumstances, however, shall the Trust be obligated to
make any Purchase if, after giving effect to such Purchase, the aggregate
Outstanding Amount would exceed the lesser of (i) the Note Purchase Limit or
(ii) the Funding Date Overcollateralization. Upon the payment of the related
Cash Purchase Price (as defined below) for the Initial Purchase or any
Incremental Purchase and on each Substitute Asset Transfer Date, the Trust
Depositor shall have, and shall be deemed hereunder to have, irrevocably and
absolutely sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Trust, without
recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied, except as provided in
the Transaction Documents, all right, title and interest of the Trust Depositor
in and to the Trust Assets relating to such
- 2 -
Purchase or Incremental Purchase, as the case may be. The aggregate amount of
all advances made by the Noteholders during the Purchase Period shall not exceed
the Note Purchase Limit.
Although the Trust Depositor and the Trust agree that such transfer is
intended to be a sale of ownership of the Trust Assets, rather than the granting
of a security interest to secure a borrowing, and that the Trust Assets shall
not be property of the Trust Depositor, in the event, notwithstanding such
intent, such transfer is deemed to be a grant of a security interest to secure a
borrowing, the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have granted (and hereby
grants to) the Trust a perfected first priority security interest in such Trust
Assets (subject to Permitted Liens) and this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under Requirements of Law securing the repayment of the
purchase price paid hereunder and the obligations and/or interests provided for
in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and in the order and
priorities, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) The purchase price for the Purchased Receivables in each Asset Pool
Portion shall be the applicable Cash Purchase Price. The "Cash Purchase Price"
for any Asset Pool Portion shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) the
Receivable Balance as of the applicable Cutoff Date of the Eligible Receivables
to be purchased, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Credit Enhancement Factor in
effect on such Transfer Date. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and
on the terms set forth herein, the Trust shall pay to the Trust Depositor the
Cash Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivable on the related Transfer Date.
(c) Upon payment of the Cash Purchase Price by the Trust in the amount
determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b) with respect to all Trust Assets
purchased on a Transfer Date, the ownership of all such Trust Assets will be
solely vested in the Trust. None of the Sellers, Servicer, Trust Depositor nor
Club Trustee shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall
not claim any ownership interest in any Trust Asset. The Trust Depositor, the
Sellers, Servicer and Club Trustee shall each indicate in their respective books
and records that ownership of each Purchased Receivable and related Trust Assets
is held by the Trust. In addition, each of the Trust Depositor, the Sellers and
the Servicer shall respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of the
Trust Assets by stating that it is no longer the owner of the Trust Assets and
that ownership of the Trust Assets is held by the Trust. Any documents relating
to the Purchased Receivables retained by the Trust Depositor, the Sellers, the
Servicer, or Club Trustee shall be held in trust by the Trust Depositor, the
Sellers, the Servicer and the Club Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust, and
possession of any incident of ownership relating to the Purchased Receivables so
retained is for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Purchased
Receivables or otherwise at the direction and in the discretion of the Facility
Administrator. Such retention and possession (other than retention by the Club
Trustee of Deeds relating to Receivables as to which the rights of the Trust, as
an Interest Holder Beneficiary (as defined in the Club Trust Agreement) shall be
as set forth in the Club Trust Agreement) is at the will of the Trust and in a
custodial capacity for the benefit of the Trust and its assignees only. Subject
to the rights of the Beneficiaries and the other provisions of the Club Trust
Agreement, the Facility Administrator may direct the Club Trustee at any time to
transfer any Deed(s) relating to any Receivable purchased hereunder to the Trust
or its nominee; provided that any such transfer will be made subject to the
Mortgage relating thereto, if any.
Section 2.2. Procedures for Purchases.
- 3 -
(a) During the Purchase Period, no later than eleven (11) days prior to
each Transfer Date, the Trust Depositor shall notify the Indenture Trustee and
the Facility Administrator of the intent to effect a Purchase and the proposed
Transfer Date thereof. During the Purchase Period, no later than 10:00 a.m.
(Chicago, Illinois time) on a date which is at least two (2) Business Days
before any intended Transfer Date, the Trust Depositor will deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator a Request
Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. In the event that the
Trust Depositor does not provide a properly completed Request Notice (and
subject to all other terms and conditions to such Purchase hereunder), the Trust
will not be obligated to purchase Eligible Receivables on such intended Transfer
Date until such time as such terms and conditions are met. Each such Request
Notice shall specify, among other things, (i) the aggregate amount of such
Purchase, which shall be in a minimum amount equal to $10,000,000, or such
lesser amount as may be equal to the then unused portion of the Note Purchase
Limit, (ii) the intended Transfer Date for such Purchase, and (iii) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount, Funding Date Overcollateralization and the Note
Purchase Limit, both immediately preceding and after giving effect to such
Purchase.
(b) On each Transfer Date, and subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions of Article IV hereof and Articles IV and V of the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Servicer will prepare and deliver an Assignment to the Trust
Depositor and the Trust in the form of Exhibit H hereto, Mortgage Assignments
and an Allonge in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (an "Allonge"), as
applicable, which has been stapled to the original notes evidencing each
Receivable with respect to each of the Trust Assets being transferred on such
Transfer Date by the Trust. The Trust Depositor and the Trust shall thereupon
execute such Assignment and deliver executed unrecorded, originals thereof to
the Servicer who will in turn cause executed copies of such Assignment, Allonges
and Mortgage Assignments, as applicable, to be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee, the Custodian and the Facility Administrator, as applicable, and
recorded in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the Facility
Administrator's receipt of a certification from the Custodian that it has
received the Receivables Files as set forth in the Custodial Agreement, an
Assignment for the related Trust Assets, an Allonge and a Mortgage Assignment,
as applicable, and for each Receivable listed on the List of Receivables
delivered in connection with the Request Notice, the Trust shall thereupon pay
to the Trust Depositor the Cash Purchase Price for such Trust Assets, by wire
transfer in same day funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions
specified in the related Request Notice. The Trust Depositor shall be solely
responsible for obtaining ownership of the Trust Assets from the Sellers
pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement or otherwise, prior to transfer
of ownership of such Trust Assets to the Trust under this Agreement.
(c) The Facility Administrator will promptly notify the Noteholders of the
receipt of a Request Notice.
Section 2.3. Establishment of Accounts; Reserve Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall (i) establish an
Eligible Deposit Account in the name of the Trust, titled "BXG Receivables Owner
Trust 2004-A Lockbox Account re Bluegreen Receivables Sale and Servicing
Agreement" (the "Lockbox Account"), and (ii) enter into the Lockbox Agreement
which shall direct that all monies deposited in the Lockbox Account shall be
forwarded in accordance with Section 2.4. The Trust Depositor and the Servicer
shall send to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Lockbox Account all
Collections they may receive in respect of Purchased Receivables no later than
the next Business Day following the date of receipt thereof. Any
- 4 -
Collections in respect of Purchased Receivables held by the Trust Depositor or
the Servicer pending transfer to the Lockbox Account shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders until such amounts are
deposited into the Lockbox Account as set forth above. The Servicer shall
receive evidence of all deposits made to the Lockbox Account and shall post
them, on a daily basis, to the respective Receivables upon receipt.
(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish an
Eligible Deposit Account with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the
benefit of the Noteholders titled "BXG Receivables Owner Trust 2004-A Collection
Account re Bluegreen Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement" (the "Collection
Account").
(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trust Depositor and the Indenture
Trustee shall establish an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders titled "BXG Receivables Owner Trust
2004-A Bluegreen Facility Reserve Account" (the "Reserve Account").
(d) Prior to the Facility Termination Date, on or prior to each Payment
Date (and in anticipation of allocations and distributions to be made on such
Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.6), the Servicer, in consultation with the
Facility Administrator and based upon information provided in the Monthly Report
delivered by the Servicer to the Facility Administrator and the Indenture
Trustee two (2) Business Days prior to the related Payment Date, shall determine
the extent to which Available Amounts in the Collection Account (including
proceeds of any Servicer Advance deposited therein in accordance with Section
9.15) are insufficient to pay Indenture Trustee Fees, Owner Trustee Fees,
Lockbox Fees, Protective Advances, Back-Up Servicer Fees, Custodian Fees,
Unreimbursed Servicer Advances, Servicing Fees (if the Servicer is not Bluegreen
or an Affiliate of Bluegreen) as well as the Note Interest Distributable Amount
and Note Principal Distributable Amount required on such Payment Date. To the
extent of insufficiencies with respect to the payments to be made pursuant to
Sections 2.11(a)(vii), (a)(viii) and (a)(ix), on or prior to each Payment Date
amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be transferred to the Collection
Account, treated as Available Amounts for such Payment Date and thereafter
applied to cover such insufficiencies in order for any of such payments or
allocations to be made. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default or Termination Event all amounts held in the Reserve Account
shall be transferred to the Collection Account and applied and allocated as
Available Amounts on the Payment Date with respect to the related Collection
Period to the extent of insufficiencies with respect to the payments to be made
pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(vii), (b)(viii) and (b)(x).
(e) Each Seller Party shall deposit all Collections it may receive in
respect of Receivables into the Lockbox Account upon the earlier to occur of the
second Business Day following any date on which any Seller Party shall have
received such Collections; provided, that if an Event of Termination has
occurred and is continuing, all Collections received by any Seller Party shall
be deposited within one Business Day of receipt thereof. Each of the Trust
Depositor and the Servicer agree that any Collections in respect of Receivables
held by any Seller Party pending transfer to the Lockbox Account are held in
trust for the benefit of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee until such amounts
are deposited into the Lockbox Account.
- 5 -
(f) The Trust Depositor and the Servicer shall, and the Servicer shall
cause the Sellers to, instruct all Obligors, as applicable, to make all payments
with respect to the Receivables to the Lockbox Account.
Section 2.4. Deposits to Accounts.
On each Business Day, all Collections in the Lockbox Account shall be
transferred by automated wire by the Lockbox Bank to the Collection Account. In
addition, the proceeds of Servicer Advances made pursuant to Section 6.3(s),
transfers from the Reserve Account made pursuant to Section 2.3(d), and payments
of any Transfer Deposit Amount received from the Sellers or Trust Depositor
shall be deposited to the Collection Account.
Section 2.5. Investment of Accounts.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5 and the Indenture, amounts
on deposit in any Trust Account (other than the Lockbox Account) shall be
invested in Permitted Investments. Until the Facility Termination Date, the
Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall invest all such
amounts in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer that mature no later
than the immediately succeeding Payment Date. On and after the Facility
Termination Date, any investment of such amounts in Permitted Investments shall
be solely at the discretion of the Facility Administrator. All Investment
Earnings shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the Reserve Account,
as the case may be, as and when received and shall be applied and disbursed in
the same manner and priority as all other amounts in the Collection Account. The
Indenture Trustee may trade with itself or an Affiliate in the purchase or sale
of Permitted Investments. The Servicer acknowledges that to the extent that
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory
agency grant the Servicer the right to receive brokerage confirmations or
security transactions as they occur, the Servicer specifically waives receipt of
such confirmations.
Section 2.6. Payments and Computations; Funding Indemnity for Failed
Purchase.
(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Sellers, Trust Depositor,
Servicer or any other applicable payor referred to hereunder shall be paid or
deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago,
Illinois time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in
immediately available funds, and if not so timely deposited, shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Business Day.
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest, interest on interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be.
(c) If any Purchase requested by the Trust Depositor pursuant to Section
2.2 is not for any reason whatsoever made or effectuated, as the case may be, on
the date specified therefor, the Trust Depositor and Bluegreen, jointly and
severally, shall be obligated to indemnify the Noteholders against any loss,
cost or expense actually incurred by any Noteholder, including, without
limitation, any out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense incurred by such Noteholder
(as reasonably determined by such Noteholder)
- 6 -
as a result of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Noteholder to fund or maintain such Purchase, as the case may
be; provided, that no such indemnification shall be required if any Purchase is
not made or effectuated as a result of any action or inaction by any Noteholder
or any provider of liquidity support for any Noteholder, other than a failure by
such Noteholder to make an advance to allow the Trust to make any Purchase due
to a failure of any condition precedent to such Purchase set forth herein.
Section 2.7. Addition/Substitution of Receivables.
(a) On any day prior to the Facility Termination Date provided it is done
no more than once each Collection Period, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Trust Depositor may at its option replace a Defaulted
Receivable and related Trust Assets currently in the Asset Pool (a "Replaced
Asset") with one or more Substitute Assets; provided, however, that if such
option is not exercised prior to the expiration of the Trust Depositor's fiscal
quarter during which the related Receivable became a Defaulted Receivable, then
the Trust Depositor's right to exercise such option with respect to such
Defaulted Receivable shall be irrevocably waived, unless, prior to the
expiration of such fiscal quarter of the Trust Depositor, the Trust Depositor
gives notice to the Trust and the Facility Administrator of its intention to
exercise such option with respect to such Defaulted Receivable and does so prior
to the expiration of the Trust Depositor's next succeeding fiscal quarter. If,
however, the Trust Depositor fails to exercise such option with respect to such
Defaulted Receivable prior to the expiration of the Trust Depositor's next
succeeding fiscal quarter, then the Trust Depositor's right to exercise such
option with respect to such Defaulted Receivable shall be irrevocably waived.
Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c) below and Section 4.2
hereof, the Trust Depositor if exercising such substitution option, shall sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise absolutely convey to the Trust, without
recourse, representation or warranty other than as expressly provided in the
Transaction Documents, all the Trust Depositor's right, title and interest in
and to the Substitute Assets related to the Receivables listed on the List of
Substitute Receivables (including, without limitation, all Collections and
rights to receive Collections with respect thereto after the related Cutoff
Date, but excluding any collections or rights to receive payments which were
collected pursuant thereto on or prior to such Cutoff Date), such Substitute
Assets becoming Trust Assets and part of the Asset Pool. Within ten Business
Days after the Facility Administrator's receipt of a certification from the
Custodian that it has received all of the Receivables Files, an Assignment for
such Substitute Assets and a Mortgage Assignment, as applicable, (which may be
unrecorded subject to the Servicer's obligation to deliver a recorded version
thereof pursuant to this Agreement) and an Allonge, as applicable, for each
Receivable relating thereto, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust shall thereupon
endorse back and deliver to the Trust Depositor any necessary releases or
assignments relating to the Replaced Assets. Without limiting the foregoing, all
Collections and rights to receive Collections with respect to any Replaced Asset
after the Cutoff Date for the Substitute Asset that replaces such Replaced
Asset, but excluding any Collections or rights to receive payments which were
collected with respect to such Replaced Asset on or prior to such Cutoff Date,
shall be assigned to the Trust Depositor. Such assignment of the Replaced Assets
to the Trust Depositor shall be without recourse to the Indenture Trustee and
the Trust and free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, and
neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Trust shall be deemed to make any
representation or warranty, express or implied.
(b) Upon discovery by the Servicer, any Seller, the Trust Depositor, the
Trust, the Indenture Trustee or the Facility Administrator (a "Notifying Party")
of (i) a misrepresentation on the related
- 7 -
Transfer Date of any matters, or a breach on the related Transfer Date of a
warranty, set forth in Section 5.2 or Section 3.2 of the Sale and Contribution
Agreement with respect to a Trust Asset, or (ii) if an exception to a Receivable
File is not rectified in accordance with Section 6.3(q) or (iii) if a Lien
(other than a Permitted Lien) exists or arises with respect to any Interval at
any time prior to the time at which the related Mortgage Assignments are
recorded and regardless of when such Lien may be discovered (any of the
foregoing, an "Ineligible Asset"), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties. Not later than the Determination
Date which is at most thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of the
discovery of such misrepresentation or breach by the Trust Depositor or receipt
by the Trust Depositor of written notice of such misrepresentation or breach
given by a Notifying Party, the Trust Depositor shall, at its option, either
cure the misrepresentation or breach within the above described time period or
repurchase such Ineligible Asset, unless such Purchased Asset becomes a Replaced
Asset prior to such date; provided, however, if such misrepresentation or breach
relates solely to paragraph (r)(ii) of the definition of "Eligible Receivable"
or the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.2(h) of this
Agreement or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(h) of
the Sale and Contribution Agreement, the Trust Depositor shall not have the
option of curing the breach; provided further that if the Ineligible Asset
relates to a defective Receivable File described in clause (ii) above, no cure
period shall be permitted. Upon the deposit by the Trust Depositor of the
Transfer Deposit Amount for such Ineligible Asset in the Collection Account (for
allocation pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or (b), as applicable) in immediately
available funds, the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have repurchased such
Ineligible Asset and there shall be deducted from the Receivable Balance of the
Asset Pool, the Receivable Balance of the Receivable relating to such Ineligible
Asset. On and after the date of such retransfer, each Ineligible Asset so
retransferred shall not be included in the Asset Pool. Without limiting the
foregoing, all Collections and rights to receive Collections with respect to
such Ineligible Asset on or after the date of such retransfer, but excluding any
Collections or rights to receive payments which were collected with respect to
such Ineligible Asset prior to such date of retransfer shall be assigned to the
Trust Depositor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of repurchasing an
Ineligible Asset described in clause (i) of the definition thereof as set forth
above, the Trust Depositor may, subject to the conditions and requirements of
Section 2.7(c) (other than the Substitute Asset Transfer Condition), effect a
replacement of such Asset with a Substitute Asset.
Upon the deposit of the Transfer Deposit Amount in the Collection Account
and the Custodian's receipt of a Request for Release as set forth in the
Custodial Agreement and the Facility Administrator's receipt of a certification
from the Custodian that it has received all of the Receivables Files, an
Assignment for the related Assets and a Mortgage Assignment and an Allonge for
each Receivable relating to a Substitute Asset, as applicable, the Indenture
Trustee and the Trust shall endorse back and deliver to the Trust Depositor any
necessary releases or assignments for the Ineligible Asset relating thereto.
Such release or assignment of the Ineligible Asset shall be without recourse to
the Indenture Trustee and the Trust and free and clear of any Lien created
pursuant to this Agreement, and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Trust
shall be deemed to make any other representation or warranty, express or
implied, other than that the Trust and Indenture Trustee have the trust or
corporate authority and have taken all necessary trust or corporate action to
accomplish such release or assignment. The Indenture Trustee and the Trust
shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer, execute such documents and
instruments of transfer as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the
Trust Depositor and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by
the Trust Depositor to effect the transfer of such Ineligible Asset pursuant to
this Section 2.7(b).
- 8 -
The obligation of the Trust Depositor to repurchase and accept retransfer
of any Ineligible Asset (or in the alternative, effect a valid replacement of
such Asset as described above) shall constitute the sole remedy available to the
Trust respecting any misrepresentation of any matters or any breach of the
warranties set forth in Section 5.2 with respect to such Asset and is not
intended to and does not constitute "credit recourse" to the Trust Depositor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the
Trust Depositor, prior to the applicable Determination Date, remedies the
condition which rendered the Asset an "Ineligible Asset" (other than clause (ii)
of the definition thereof) during the previously described 30 day period, the
Trust Depositor is not obligated to repurchase or replace such Asset. It is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the payment obligations of the
Obligors' in respect of the Receivables transferred hereunder shall not be the
obligation of any Seller, the Trust Depositor or the Servicer, except with
respect to Servicer Advances and remedies associated with misrepresentations and
breaches of warranties.
(c) The Trust Depositor may transfer to the Trust the Substitute Assets
and the other property and rights related thereto described in Section 2.7(a) or
(b) only upon timely delivery of a Substitution Notice to the Indenture Trustee,
the Custodian and the Facility Administrator complying with the definition
thereof and the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to
the related Substitute Asset Transfer Date (and the delivery of a related
Substitution Notice by the Trust Depositor shall be deemed a representation and
warranty by the Trust Depositor that such conditions have been or will be, as of
the related Substitute Transfer Date, satisfied):
(i) the Substitute Assets being conveyed to the Trust satisfy the
Substitute Asset Qualification Conditions and the related Receivables are
Eligible Receivables;
(ii) in the case of Section 2.7(a) and after giving effect to any
conveyance pursuant thereto, the Substitute Asset Transfer Condition shall
remain satisfied;
(iii) the Trust Depositor shall have delivered to the Facility
Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a duly executed written
assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, which shall
include a List of Substitute Receivables listing the Receivables relating
to the Substitute Assets;
(iv) the Trust Depositor shall have deposited or caused to be
deposited in the Collection Account all Collections received with respect
to the Substitute Assets after the related Cutoff Date;
(v) as of each Substitute Asset Transfer Date, both the Sellers and
the Trust Depositor were Solvent and the conveyance would not have the
effect of rendering either no longer Solvent;
(vi) with respect to Receivables transferred on such Substitute
Asset Transfer Date, no selection procedures believed by the Sellers or
the Trust Depositor to be adverse to the interests of the Trust shall have
been utilized in selecting the Substitute Assets;
(vii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Sellers
pursuant to Article III of the Sale and Contribution Agreement applicable
to the Substitute Assets shall be true and
- 9 -
correct as of the related Substitute Asset Transfer Date, and the Sellers
shall have performed in all material respects all obligations to be
performed by them hereunder or thereunder on or prior to such Substitute
Asset Transfer Date;
(viii) the Sellers shall, at their own expense, on the Substitute
Asset Transfer Date, have indicated in their Computer Disk and Records
that the Receivables identified on the List of Substitute Receivables in
the related Substitution Notice have been sold to the Trust through the
Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement and the Sale and Contribution
Agreement.
Section 2.8. [Reserved].
Section 2.9. Acceptance by Trust. On the Closing Date, if the conditions
set forth in Article IV have been satisfied, the Trust shall execute and issue,

of, the Trust Depositor, the Notes secured by the Collateral.
Section 2.10. Monthly Distributions. Each Noteholder as of the related
Record Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Payment Date by check mailed to
such Noteholder at the address for such Noteholder appearing on the Note
Register or by wire transfer if such Noteholder provides written instructions to
the Paying Agent at least ten days prior to such Payment Date.
Section 2.11. Distributions.

Section 2.12. Servicer Purchase Option. Upon written notice to the
Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator delivered at least eleven (11)
days before the date of purchase, the Servicer (so long as the Servicer is
Bluegreen or an Affiliate thereof) shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to purchase from the Trust a Defaulted Receivable and related Assets for an
amount (which amount shall be deposited into the Collection Account) equal to
24% of the Obligor's initial purchase price for the Interval in respect of such
Defaulted Receivable (the "Servicer Purchase Option"). The transfer of title to
such Defaulted Receivable to the Servicer shall be without recourse to the Trust
or the Indenture Trustee and free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this
Agreement, and neither the Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
make any representation or warranty, express or implied. In order to perfect,
protect and more fully evidence the Servicer's ownership of the Defaulted
Receivable and related Assets purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Servicer
Purchase Option, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust shall execute or cause to
be executed such instruments, releases or notices as may be necessary or
appropriate, to perfect, protect and more fully evidence the respective
interests of the parties to this Agreement in such Trust Assets. The Servicer
Purchase Option is exercisable with respect to a Defaulted Receivable only
before the expiration of the 60 day period following the date on which the
related Receivable became a Defaulted Receivable unless the Servicer gives
written notice of its irrevocable
- 12 -
waiver of the Servicer Purchase Option with respect to such Defaulted Receivable
to the Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator prior to the expiration
of such 60 day period in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer may only exercise the Servicer Purchase Option to
the extent that, after giving effect to such purchase, the Receivable Balance of
Receivables previously purchased pursuant to the Servicer Purchase Option does
not exceed 20% of the Receivable Balance of all Eligible Receivables (determined
as of the applicable Cutoff Date therefor) theretofore purchased by the Trust.
The right of the Trust Depositor to replace a Replaced Asset in accordance
with Section 2.7 or the right of the Servicer to exercise the Servicer Purchase
Option shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of the Indenture Trustee
to sell, dispose or otherwise liquidate the applicable Receivable and related
Trust Assets following the occurrence of a Termination Event or an Event of
Default. Such rights of the Trust Depositor or the Servicer shall not apply to
any Trust Asset or Interval which the Indenture Trustee has sold or caused to be
sold, nor shall such rights apply to any Trust Asset or Interval as to which the
Indenture Trustee has provided at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to
the Servicer of its intention so to sell (unless, prior to the expiration of
such five (5) Business Days, the Trust Depositor has irrevocably committed to
replace such Replaced Asset or the Servicer has irrevocably committed to
exercise the Servicer Purchase Option, as the case may be, in each case during
the next succeeding Collection Period).
Section 2.13. Upgrades. Receivables which are the subject of an Upgrade
shall become part of the Asset Pool in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Section 2.13, subject to timely delivery of a Substitution Notice to the
Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator and satisfying the conditions
set forth in Section 2.7(c) (other than (c)(ii)). In connection with an Upgrade
by an Obligor, the Trust Depositor shall acquire from the applicable Seller
pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement, a new Eligible Receivable
arising in connection with such Upgrade or otherwise (together with, if
necessary, one or more other Eligible Receivables which were the subject of an
Upgrade or otherwise) (an "Upgrade Receivable") having a Receivable Balance (or
Receivable Balances) approximately equal to the Receivable Balance of the
Pre-Upgrade Receivable (as defined below). Subject to the definition of Eligible
Receivable, the Trust Depositor shall use its best efforts to cause a
Pre-Upgrade Receivable to be replaced with an Upgrade Receivable in respect of
the same Obligor and then, to the extent not possible, to be replaced with
another Upgrade Receivable. To the extent the Receivable Balance (or Receivable
Balances) of the Upgrade Receivable(s) is less than the Receivable Balance of
the Pre-Upgrade Receivable, the Trust Depositor shall deposit cash into the
Collection Account in the amount of such deficiency. Upon such acquisition by
the Trust Depositor and compliance by the Trust Depositor with Section 2.2
including delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Facility Administrator of a
Substitution Notice indicating such Upgrade and identifying the existing
Receivable subject to the Upgrade (each, a "Pre-Upgrade Receivable"), the
related Upgrade Receivable(s) and related Trust Assets (including, but not
limited to, any Collections thereon after the Cutoff Date) shall be deemed to be
Substitute Assets for all purposes of this Agreement purchased by the Trust on
the Transfer Date of the related Pre-Upgrade Receivable and shall be deemed to
be part of the Asset Pool. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee and
the Trust shall release or re-convey, as applicable, to the Trust Depositor all
of its interests in the related Pre-Upgrade Receivable in accordance with
Section 2.14. In no event shall the Trust Depositor be permitted to repurchase
for cash any Pre-Upgrade Receivable. Upon each conveyance of Upgrade Receivables
hereunder, the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted
that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied.
- 13 -
Section 2.14. Release of Interest.
At the same time as (i) any Receivable becomes a Prepaid Receivable, (ii)
any Receivable matures, (iii) any Receivable is the subject of an Upgrade and
the conditions set forth in Section 2.13 have been satisfied, (iv) the Trust
Depositor through the Servicer, substitutes or replaces any Receivable as
contemplated in Section 2.7 hereof, or (v) the Servicer exercises the Servicer
Purchase Option, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust will release their interest
in the Interval relating to such Receivable and related Trust Assets; provided,
that such release will not constitute a release of the respective interests of
Indenture Trustee and the Trust in the proceeds of Trust Assets except with
respect to any proceeds received by the Servicer with respect to a Receivable
and related Trust Assets which were subject to the Servicer Purchase Option. In
connection with any of the events described in the preceding sentence, the
Indenture Trustee and the Trust will execute and deliver (at the expense of the
Trust Depositor) to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, termination
statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may reasonably
request in order to effect such release and transfer, and the Indenture Trustee
and the Trust shall be deemed to have transferred to the Trust Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, all of the Indenture Trustee's and the Trust's
right, title and interest in such Trust Assets in respect of such Receivable
free and clear of any interest created by the Indenture Trustee or the Trust
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, but without any recourse or
other representation or warranty, express or implied. Nothing in this Section
shall diminish the Servicer's obligations pursuant to Section 2.11 of this
Agreement with respect to the proceeds of any sale of such Trust Assets.
ARTICLE III

Section 3.1. Responsibility for Receivable Administration. The Servicer is
hereby appointed the servicer hereunder until such time as any Service Transfer

Obligor.
Section 3.2. Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing and
making collections on the Receivables and the related Trust Assets pursuant to
this Agreement, the Servicer will exercise that degree of skill and care

interests of the Trust, with respect to the Trust Assets and the proceeds
thereof, and use commercially reasonable efforts and exercise sound business
judgment in performing its duties under this Agreement.

hereunder, the Servicer shall cause the UCC financing statement(s) to be filed

Liens) against all other persons, including, without limitation, the filing of
financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements,
- 14 -
the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking
possession of all records or documents of title.
Section 3.4. Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is servicer

(a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Facility Administrator and the Indenture Trustee and their respective authorized
agents reasonable access during normal business hours to the Servicer's records
relating to the Trust Assets and will cause its personnel to assist in any
examination of such records by the Facility Administrator or the Indenture
Trustee, or such authorized agents and allow copies of the same to be made. The
examination referred to in this Section will be conducted in a manner which does
not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal operations or customer or
employee relations. Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the
Facility Administrator or the Indenture Trustee or their respective authorized
agents may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of each
Receivable and review the Computer Disk and records relating thereto for
conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Section 9.4 and compliance
with the standards represented to exist as to each Receivable in this Agreement.
(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
a copy of the List of Receivables at its principal executive office for
inspection by the Facility Administrator and the Noteholders.
Section 3.6. Duties and Responsibilities of Servicer.
(a) In addition to any other customary services which the Servicer may
perform or may be required to perform hereunder, the Servicer shall perform or
cause to be performed through sub-servicers, as applicable, the following

Agreement:

provided herein), and to carry out the duties and obligations imposed upon
the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(vii) arranging for liquidations of Intervals related to Defaulted
Receivables, as applicable, and the remarketing of such Intervals as
provided herein; it being understood that except as expressly set forth
herein or in the Indenture, the Servicer shall not sell Defaulted
Receivables;
(viii) use reasonable best efforts to enforce the purchase and
substitution obligations of the Sellers under the Sale and Contribution
Agreement;
(ix) to the extent that the Custodian Fees or the Lockbox Fees are,
in the Servicer's reasonable business judgment, no longer commercially
reasonable, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain reasonable
fees from the existing Custodian or Lockbox Bank, as applicable, or (ii)
exercise its rights under the Custodial Agreement or the Lockbox Agreement
to replace the Custodian or Lockbox Bank, as applicable, in accordance
with the Custodial Agreement or Lockbox Agreement, as the case may be. Any
such successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Facility

Each Seller under the Sale and Contribution Agreement has made, and upon
the transfer of Substitute Assets is deemed to remake, each of the
representations and warranties set forth therein and has consented to the
assignment by the Trust Depositor to the Trust of the Trust Depositor's rights
with respect thereto. Such representations speak as of the execution and
delivery of the Sale and Contribution Agreement and this Agreement and as of the
Initial Transfer Date in the case of the initial Receivables, and as of the
applicable Substitute Asset Transfer Date in the case of the Substitute Assets,
but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the
Trust. Pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, the Trust Depositor has sold,
assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Trust as part of the Trust Assets its
rights under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, including without limitation,
its rights with respect to the representations and warranties of the Sellers
therein, together with all rights of the Trust Depositor with respect to any
breach thereof including any right to require the Sellers to repurchase any
Receivables in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Sale and
Contribution Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth or referred to in this Section shall survive transfer of
the Trust Assets to the Trust hereunder and the delivery of the Receivables
Files to the Custodian.
The Trust Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Facility Administrator and the Noteholders
that it has entered into the Sale and Contribution Agreement with the Sellers,
that each Seller has made the representations and warranties in the Sale and
Contribution Agreement as set forth therein, that such representations and
warranties run to and are for the benefit of the Trust Depositor, the Owner
Trustee, the Facility Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders,
and that pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement the Trust Depositor has
transferred and assigned to the Trust all rights of the Trust Depositor to cause
the Sellers to repurchase Receivables in the event of a breach of such
representations and warranties in accordance with and subject to the terms of
the Sale and Contribution Agreement.
Section 5.1. Representations and Warranties of the Trust Depositor.

from Collections pursuant to Section 2.11.

Closing Date, the Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance with respect to the Servicer in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000 per policy and shall name the Indenture Trustee as
an additional insured. No provision of this clause (v) requiring such fidelity
bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer
from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Indenture. The Servicer
shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective
Affiliates has such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance coverage
and, by the terms of such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance
policy, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. On or before
March 31 of each year or at any time upon request of the Facility Administrator,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Facility Administrator, a certification
evidencing coverage under such fidelity bond and the errors and omissions
insurance. Any such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy (or
endorsement thereto) shall contain a provision that such policy shall not be
canceled or modified without ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to the
Facility Administrator or such
- 38 -
other amendment or cancellation provisions as may be acceptable to the Facility
Administrator; provided that Servicer agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to require the applicable insurer to provide 30 days prior written
notice of any cancellation or modification.

and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.
Section 10.6. Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Facility Administrator
may execute any of its duties as Facility Administrator hereunder and under any
other Transaction Document by or through employees, agents, and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Noteholders, except as to
money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care. The Facility Administrator shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Facility
Administrator and the Noteholders and all matters pertaining to the Facility
Administrator's duties hereunder and under any other Transaction Document.
- 49 -
Section 10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Facility Administrator
shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telegram, statement, paper, data or document believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or
persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected
by the Facility Administrator, which counsel may be employees of the Facility
Administrator.
Section 10.8. Facility Administrator's Reimbursement and Indemnification.
Each Noteholder agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Facility Administrator
ratably in proportion to the aggregate Outstanding Amount held by such
Noteholder (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Servicer, any Seller, the
Trust or the Trust Depositor for which the Facility Administrator is entitled to
reimbursement by the Servicer, any Seller, the Trust or the Trust Depositor
under the Transaction Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the
Facility Administrator on behalf of the Noteholders, in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the
Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred
by the Facility Administrator in connection with any dispute between the
Facility Administrator and any Noteholder or between two or more of the
Noteholders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Facility Administrator in any way relating to or arising out of the
Transaction Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or
the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any
such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Facility Administrator in
connection with any dispute between the Facility Administrator and any
Noteholder or between two or more of the Noteholders), or the enforcement of any
of the terms of the Transaction Documents or of any such other documents,
provided that no Noteholder shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the
extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Facility Administrator. The obligations of the
Noteholders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of all amounts
hereunder and termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.9. Notice of Default. The Facility Administrator shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Servicer Termination Event or Termination Event unless the Facility
Administrator has received written notice from a Noteholder, the Trust, the
Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer referring to this
Agreement describing such Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or
Termination Event and stating that such notice is a "notice of default" or words
of similar import. In the event that the Facility Administrator receives such a
notice, the Facility Administrator shall give prompt notice thereof to the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.
Section 10.10. Rights as a Noteholder. In the event the Facility
Administrator is a Noteholder, the Facility Administrator shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder and under any other Transaction Document as any
Noteholder and may exercise the same as though it were not the Facility
Administrator, and the term "Noteholder" or "Noteholders" shall, at any time
when the Facility Administrator is a Noteholder, unless the context otherwise
indicates, include the Facility Administrator in its individual capacity. The
Facility Administrator and its Affiliates may lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to
those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, with the
Servicer or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Servicer or such Subsidiary is
not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
- 50 -
Section 10.11. Noteholder Credit Decision. Except as expressly set forth
in this Section 10.11, each Noteholder acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Facility Administrator or any other Noteholder and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents. Each Noteholder also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Facility Administrator or any other
Noteholder and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders acknowledge and the Facility
Administrator agrees that the Facility Administrator will perform certain due
diligence including tests resulting in FICO scores with respect to the Obligors
of certain Receivables and various file review procedures as selected by the
Facility Administrator (collectively, the "Specified Procedures"). The Facility
Administrator shall be under no duty to inquire as to the accuracy or
genuineness of the information provided to it in conducting the Specified
Procedures nor shall it have any duty to review any information other than such
files, reports and other information provided to it by Bluegreen.
Section 10.12. Successor Facility Administrator. The Facility
Administrator, with the written consent of the Servicer (so long as Bluegreen or
an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer), which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Noteholders and the Servicer, such resignation to be effective upon the
appointment of a successor Facility Administrator or, if no successor Facility
Administrator has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Facility
Administrator gives notice of its intention to resign. The Facility
Administrator may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice
received by the Facility Administrator from all of the Noteholders, such removal
to be effective on the date specified by such Noteholders. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Noteholders shall have the right to appoint, on
behalf of the Noteholders, a successor Facility Administrator with the written
consent of the Servicer (so long as the Servicer is Bluegreen or an Affiliate
thereof), which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If
no successor Facility Administrator shall have been so appointed by the
Noteholders within thirty days after the resigning Facility Administrator's
giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Facility
Administrator may appoint, on behalf of the Noteholders, a successor Facility
Administrator. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Facility Administrator
may at any time without the consent of the Servicer or any Noteholder, appoint
any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank or other financial institution
as a successor Facility Administrator hereunder. If the Facility Administrator
has resigned or been removed and no successor Facility Administrator has been
appointed, the Noteholders may perform all the duties of the Facility
Administrator hereunder and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the
parties hereto. No successor Facility Administrator shall be deemed to be
appointed hereunder until such successor Facility Administrator has accepted the
appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Facility Administrator
hereunder by a successor Facility Administrator, such successor Facility
Administrator shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Facility
Administrator. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the
Facility Administrator, the resigning or removed Facility Administrator shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Transaction
Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of a Facility
Administrator, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such Facility Administrator in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Facility Administrator
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

remain unchanged, such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, all amounts payable

with such Noteholder's rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

than 10.00% of the aggregate Receivable Balances of the Receivables purchased
hereunder when so purchased and (ii) Bluegreen or an Affiliate of Bluegreen is
the Servicer, then the Trust Depositor may (but is not required to) repurchase
from the Trust on that Payment Date all outstanding Trust Assets at a price
equal to the Aggregate Outstandings. Such price is to be deposited in the
Collection Account one Business Day before such Payment Date, against the
Indenture Trustee's retransfer and release of the Receivables and related Trust
Assets to the Trust Depositor.

have been made (the "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the
Payment Date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited in the Collection
Account (or, if such
- 52 -
proceeds are not so deposited on a Payment Date, on the Payment Date immediately
following such deposit), the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to
allocate such Insolvency Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the
Reserve Account (including the proceeds of any sale of investments therein) in
accordance with Section 2.11.

(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent not
requiring Noteholder consent, the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to
each Noteholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders
pursuant to Section 13.1(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed

the authorization by Noteholders of the execution thereof shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.
(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, pursuant to

Trustee at least 30 days' prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly
filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or
continuation statements.
(c) The Trust, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer shall give the
Facility Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 30

Servicer) if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the
UCC would require filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or

Receivables, the Servicer's master computer records (including any backup
archives) that shall refer to a Receivable indicate clearly the interest of the
Trust and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is
owned by the Trust and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of
the Trust's ownership of and the Indenture Trustee's interest in a Receivable
shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and

been released in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Transaction
Documents.

sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in

transferee, the Servicer shall give or cause to be given to such prospective
purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs

Trustee.

and protect such interest.

appoints the Trust as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Trust
Depositor (i) to execute on behalf of the Trust Depositor as debtor and to file
financing statements necessary or desirable in the Trust's sole discretion to
perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Trust
in the Trust Assets and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the
Trust Assets as a financing statement in such offices as the Trust in its sole
discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the interests of the Trust in the Trust Assets.
Section 13.12. Back-up Security Interest. It is the intention of the
Sellers, the Trust Depositor and the Trust that the transactions contemplated by
the Sale and Contribution Agreement and this Agreement constitute an irrevocable
sale, assignment and transfer of ownership of the Assets transferred thereunder
and the Trust Assets transferred hereunder. Nevertheless, in the event a court
of competent jurisdiction were to ever determine that the transactions
contemplated by the Sale and Contribution Agreement and this Agreement were
secured financings rather than "true sales", each Seller has granted the Trust
Depositor in the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Trust Depositor has
granted (and hereby grants to) the Trust a "security interest" (the term
security interest, as used throughout this Agreement, is used as defined in the
UCC) in the Trust Assets being conveyed hereunder, which is enforceable in
accordance with the UCC upon execution and delivery of this Agreement securing
the repayment of the purchase price paid hereunder and the obligations and/or
interests provided for in this Agreement and in the order and priorities, and
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, together with such other obligations or interests as may
arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto. Upon
(i) the filing of UCC-1 financing statements naming the Trust as secured
party/buyer, the Trust Depositor, as debtor/seller, and the Indenture Trustee,
as assignee, and (ii) the Custodian, for the benefit of the Trust, taking
possession of the Receivables and Receivables Files, the Trust shall have a
first priority perfected security interest in the Trust Assets and Collections,
subject only to Permitted Liens. All filings (including, without limitation,
such UCC filings) as are necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the interest
of the Trust in the Trust Assets and Collections have been (or prior to the
applicable Transfer Date will be) made. Upon (i) the filing of UCC-1 financing
statements naming the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Trust as debtor
with respect to the Trust Assets and (ii) the Custodian, for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee, taking possession of the Receivables and Receivables Files
and, in the case of Incremental Purchases or Substitute Assets on the applicable
Incremental Transfer Date or Substitute Asset Transfer Date, as applicable, the
Indenture Trustee shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the
Trust Assets, subject only to Permitted Liens. Neither the Trust Depositor nor
any Person claiming through or under Trust Depositor shall have any claim to or
interest in any of the Trust Assets, except to the extent set forth
- 60 -
in Sections 2.11(a) and (b), as applicable, and if, notwithstanding the
expressed intention of the parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes the grant
of a security interest (for collateral purposes) in such property, except for
the interest of Trust Depositor in such property as a debtor for purposes of the
UCC.
Section 13.13. Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior
oral or written understandings.
Section 13.14. Further Assurances. The Trust agrees that it will cooperate
with Bluegreen to facilitate the remarketing of Intervals and Vacation Points
relating to a Defaulted Receivable pursuant to Section 6.3(r). Additionally, in
the event Bluegreen is the "Servicer" hereunder, Bluegreen or the Club will be
the exclusive "broker" of the Intervals or Vacation Points, as the case may be.
Section 13.15. Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
stated herein, in the event Bluegreen is not acting as servicer hereunder, the
covenants in Section 6.3 shall remain in full force and effect with respect to
Bluegreen, and Bluegreen shall remain obligated to provide those Reports
described in Article IX hereof which it is able to continue to provide.
Section 13.16. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and Indenture
Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
instrument has been countersigned by Wilmington Trust Company, not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Trust,
and in no event shall Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity or any
beneficial owner of the Trust have any liability for the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Trust hereunder,
as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Trust. For
all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Trust hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to
the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the
Trust Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
Agreement has been countersigned by U.S. Bank National Association, not in its
individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee, and in no event shall U.S.
Bank National Association have any liability for the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Trust hereunder or
in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as
to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the Trust Assets.
Section 13.17. Confidentiality. For a period of one (1) year following
receipt thereof, GECC, each Noteholder (other than GECC) and each other owner of
any interest in a Note (an "Obligated
- 61 -
Party") agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care
to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by
or on behalf of Bluegreen (individually and in its capacity as Servicer) under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and no Obligated Party shall
use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, except to the extent such
information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of disclosure by an Obligated Party, or (ii) was or becomes available on
a non-confidential basis from a source other than Bluegreen, provided that such
source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with Bluegreen known to such
Person; provided, however, that any Obligated Party (including any assignee
thereof) may disclose such information (A) at the request of, or pursuant to any
requirement of any such Person, or in connection with, an examination of such
Person by any regulatory authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court
process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any
applicable requirement of law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with any litigation or proceeding to which such Person or any
Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document; (F) to such Person's independent auditors and other professional
advisors; (G) to any participant or assignee, actual or potential, provided that
such participant or assignee agrees in writing to keep such information
confidential to the same extent required of such Person hereunder; (H) as to
such Person or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any
other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which Bluegreen is
party or is deemed party with such Person or its Affiliates; (I) to its
Affiliates; provided such Affiliate is bound by the confidentiality provisions;
(J) to any rating agency or regulatory body overseeing such Person or any
assignee and (K) to any party providing liquidity or credit support to such
Person or any assignee; provided that such participant or assignee agrees in
writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of
such Person hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to the contrary, any information with respect to the "tax
treatment" or "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not
be confidential and the Facility Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the
Noteholders and the other parties hereto may disclose without limitation of any
kind any information with respect to the "tax treatment" or "tax structure" (in
each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4);
provided, that to the extent any Transaction Document contains information that
relates to the "tax treatment" or "tax structure" and contains other
information, this paragraph shall only apply to the information regarding the
"tax treatment" or "tax structure." For purposes of this Section 13.17, the term
"GECC" shall refer solely to the real estate business of General Electric
Capital Corporation, it being understood that no other GECC business, component
or affiliate shall be bound hereby (unless and only to the extent the
confidential information is shared with such other GECC business, component or
affiliate). Each Obligated Party agrees to comply with the Xxxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Act of 1999 and the correlative Federal Trade Commission regulations to the
extent applicable to such Obligated Party and to the extent applicable to the
Trust Assets and the other confidential information provided to such Obligated
Party under the Transaction Documents. Each Obligated Party agrees to destroy
any confidential information in accordance with its document destruction
policies in effect from time to time.
