DEVELOPER TRANSFER AGREEMENT, dated as of December 19, 2003, (this
"Agreement"), between SILVERLEAF RESORTS, INC., a Texas corporation (the
"Company") and SILVERLEAF FINANCE II, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "SPV").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, SPV is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company intends to sell, or otherwise contribute, and SPV
intends to purchase, or otherwise have contributed to it, certain Receivables
originated by the Company, from time to time, as described herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1
DEFINITIONS
1.1 Definitions and Conventions. Unless otherwise defined herein,
all capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule I to the
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof among SPV and Textron
Financial Corporation, as amended or modified from time to time.
1.2 Other Terms and Interpretation. All accounting terms not
specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. All
terms used in Article 9 of the Code of the State of New York, and not
specifically defined herein, are used herein as defined in such Article 9. All
hourly references herein shall refer to New York time. Except as otherwise
indicated, all agreements defined in this Agreement refer to the same as from
time to time amended or supplemented or as the terms of such agreements are
waived or modified in accordance with their terms.
SECTION 2
TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES
2.1 Agreement to Transfer. (a) Pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, as of the date hereof the Company has contributed
as capital the Demand Note to SPV, and, on and after the date of this Agreement,
at the initiation of the Company (in its discretion), the Company shall sell or
contribute as capital to SPV (such sale or contribution, a "Conveyance"), and
SPV shall purchase or acquire from the Company, Receivables that are identified
in a Request Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(b) on such date, which
Receivables shall be certified by the Company in such Request Notice as Eligible
Receivables, together with all other Conveyed Assets related to such
Receivables; provided that (x) SPV shall not be required to purchase any
Conveyed Assets if it does not have sufficient funds to pay for such assets nor
shall SPV be permitted to incur indebtedness to purchase the Receivables, except
that SPV may incur indebtedness to Developer evidenced by the Subordinated Note
for such purpose to the extent that, after giving effect to such indebtedness,
the Overcollateralization Amount equals or exceeds the Required
Overcollateralization Amount and (y) the Company shall not be required to sell
or contribute any Conveyed Assets unless, in the case of a sale, it shall have
received the purchase price therefore in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or, in the case of a contribution, it has agreed to make such
contribution (as evidenced by its execution of a Sale Assignment). To effect the
conveyance of a Receivable and the other Conveyed Assets with respect thereto,
on or before the related Conveyance Date, the Company and SPV shall execute and
deliver an assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (hereafter a
"Sale Assignment") with each Receivable being properly endorsed to SPV by an
authorized representative of the Company.
(b) The Company shall, on the Closing Date and on a date
occurring no more frequently than once in each calendar month (each a
"Request Notice Date"), deliver to SPV a notice (a "Request Notice") in
the form of Exhibit C identifying Eligible Receivables that are to be
conveyed on a given Conveyance Date as described in Section 2.1(a)
hereof. Such Request Notice shall indicate whether the applicable
Conveyance is to be a sale or a contribution. Receivables so sold by
the Company are "Sold Receivables" and Receivables so contributed by
the Company are "Contributed Receivables."
(c) The price paid to the Company with respect to each of its
Sold Receivables shall be the SPV Purchase Price. Such SPV Purchase
Price shall be paid by means of a cash payment for such Sold Receivable
to the Company by SPV on the related Conveyance Date.
(d) On and after each Conveyance Date hereunder, SPV shall own
the Sold Receivables and the Contributed Receivables which have been
(assuming compliance with the terms hereof) identified as being sold to
SPV or contributed under this Section 2.1. The Company shall not take
any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any
ownership interest or other interest in any Conveyed Asset. The Company
shall not be responsible for payments on the Conveyed Assets, including
but not limited to the Receivables, and any other credit risk
associated therewith shall not be borne by the Company except as
specifically provided within this Agreement, the Demand Note and the
other Loan Documents.
(e) Until the occurrence of a Subservicer Event of Default or
a resignation by the Company pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement,
the Company, as Subservicer, shall conduct the servicing,
administration and collection of such Receivables and shall take, or
cause to be taken, all such actions on behalf of SPV and its assigns as
may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect such
Receivables from time to time, all in accordance with (i) the terms of
the Subservicing Agreement, (ii) customary and prudent servicing
procedures for receivables of a similar type and (iii) all applicable
laws, rules and regulations. Documents relating to the Conveyed Assets
shall be held by the Custodian. The Company, as Subservicer, may, to
the extent specified in the Custodial Agreement, take possession of
documents evidencing Conveyed Assets from the Custodian in order to
service, administer and collect such Conveyed Assets. Such
2
documents shall be held in trust by the Company, as Subservicer, for
the benefit of SPV and its assignees as the owners thereof, together
with its assignees, and possession of any document relating to the
Conveyed Assets is for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing
of the Receivables. Such retention and possession thereof is at the
will of SPV and its assignees and is governed by the terms of the
Custodial Agreement.
2.2 Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that each transfer of the Conveyed Assets (including the Receivables) to
be made hereunder shall constitute a purchase and sale or capital contribution
and not a loan. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction is
to hold that any transaction provided for hereby constitutes a loan and not a
purchase and sale or capital contribution, it is the intention of the parties
hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law and that the Company shall be deemed to have granted, and,
subject to Permitted Liens, the Company does hereby grant, to SPV a first
priority security interest in all of the Company's right, title and interest in,
to and under the Receivables purported to be sold or contributed under this
Agreement or any Sale Assignment and other Conveyed Assets, and all Collections,
and other proceeds of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter acquired,
that are subject hereto.
2.3 Delivery of Timeshare Documents. On or before each Conveyance
Date, the Company shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of SPV, pursuant to
the SPV Loan Agreement, the Related Documents and Timeshare Documents specified
in the SPV Loan Agreement relating to the Receivables on such Conveyance Date.
2.4 Payments and Interest. Any amount not paid when due hereunder
shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the then effective Applicable Default
Rate until such time as such amount is paid. Such interest shall be payable upon
demand by the party to whom such amount is owed or such party's assignee.
2.5 Enforcement of Rights under and against the Conveyed Assets.
The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that SPV and its assigns may enforce
any and all of its rights and remedies under the Conveyed Assets, including,
without limitation, this Agreement. TFC and the Administrative Agent, as SPV's
assignees, may enforce SPV's rights and remedies hereunder or in connection
herewith so long as such enforcement does not contravene the terms and
conditions of the SPV Loan Agreement.

delivery of approvals, consents, opinions, documents and instruments to
TFC and the Administrative Agent, as TFC and the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request;
6
(f) No Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred with
respect to the Company since the preceding Conveyance Date and there
shall have been no material adverse change in the financial markets or
in the ability of TFC to securitize its interests in the Loan and
related assets, since the preceding Conveyance;
(g) With respect to all Sold Receivables and Contributed
Receivables existing on the Closing Date (other than Specified

Date the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to TFC title

replacement value of the related Units and/or Resort in amounts
sufficient to avoid co-insurance liability, naming TFC and its assigns

Administrative Agent shall so specify. Resort insurance amounts,
deductible and coverages shall be subject to TFC's and the
Administrative Agent's approval, with thirty (30) days prior notice of
cancellation or modification; provided however, it is agreed that the
insurance policies delivered by the Company to TFC and the
Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date are acceptable to TFC
and the Administrative Agent;

Permitted Liens.
3.3 Effect of Failure to Satisfy Conditions. The failure to
satisfy any condition specified in Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall not invalidate any
transfer of Receivables or other Conveyed Assets, but shall constitute a breach
of this Agreement for which damages may be claimed unless SPV, TFC and the
Administrative Agent shall have agreed otherwise in writing.

records of all Lien Filing Offices create in favor of SPV and its

quality of the Encumbered Timeshares and all rights, properties,
easements and interests appurtenant or related thereto.
(k) The grant of the security interests as provided herein or

Company, SPV, each Resort and each Applicable Timeshare Owners'

such insurance is in full force and effect.
(m) SPV is not required to take, and shall not be required to
take, any steps required to protect SPV's ownership of and (pursuant to
Section 2.2 above) security interests in the Conveyed Assets, and the
Company has taken any and all steps required to protect SPV's ownership
of and (pursuant to Section 2.2 above) security interests in the
Conveyed Assets; and SPV is not and shall not be required to collect or
realize upon the Conveyed Assets or any distribution of interest or
principal, nor shall loss of, or damage to, the Conveyed Assets release

Financial Statements fairly present the respective financial conditions and
results of operations of the Company as of the date or dates thereof and for the
periods covered thereby. There are no material liabilities, direct or indirect,
fixed or contingent, of the Company as of the dates of such Financial Statements
which are not reflected therein or in the notes thereto, which have not
otherwise been disclosed to SPV in writing. Except for any such changes
heretofore expressly disclosed in writing to SPV, there has been no material
adverse change in the respective financial conditions of the Company or from the
financial conditions shown in its Financial Statements, nor has the Company
incurred any material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent,
which are not shown in its Financial Statements.
(b) The Company is able to pay all of its debts as they become
due, and the Company shall maintain such solvent financial condition,
as long as the Company has any obligations hereunder or under the Loan
Documents to SPV or TFC, or in any other
10
manner whatsoever. The Company's obligations under the Loan Documents
will not render the Company unable to pay its debts as they become due.
The present fair market value of the Company's assets are greater than
the amount required to pay its total liabilities. As of the date hereof
and immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, the Company is solvent and will be able to pay its debts as
they mature and will not be rendered insolvent by the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and, after giving effect to such
transactions, the Company will not be left with an unreasonably small
amount of capital with which to engage in the business in which it is
engaged or proposes to engage and the Company has not intended to
incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay
such debts as they mature, and the Company does not contemplate the
commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation
proceedings or other proceedings for the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of the
Company or any of its respective assets. The Company is not
transferring any Conveyed Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or
defraud any of its creditors.
4.5 Taxes. In accordance with the requirements set forth in the
Applicable Underlying Declarations, the Company represents and warrants that the
Company or each Applicable Timeshare Owner's Association, as required, has paid
in full all ad valorem taxes and other taxes and Assessments to be levied
against the Conveyed Assets, and the Company knows of no basis for any
additional taxes or Assessments against any Resort or the Conveyed Assets. The
Company or each Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, as the case may be,
has filed all tax returns required to have been filed by it or them and have
paid or will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes shown to be due and payable on
such returns, including interest and penalties, and all other taxes which are
payable by it or them, to the extent the same have become due and payable. The
Company shall pay or use its best efforts to cause each Applicable Timeshare
Owners' Association to collect and pay all applicable sales, rental, occupancy
and other taxes with regard to the sale or rental of any Timeshares related to
the Conveyed Assets hereunder. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no tax
audit is pending or is threatened with respect to the Company, SPV or any
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association.
4.6 Title to Properties; Prior Liens; Permitted Liens. Prior to
the transfer thereof to SPV, the Company had, subject to the Permitted Liens,
good and marketable title to all of the Conveyed Assets and all rights,
properties and benefits appurtenant or related thereto. The real estate assets
of the Company consist of the Resorts and certain other improved and unimproved
property. The Company's sole business involves the marketing, sale and financing
of Timeshares at the Resorts. The Company is not in default under any of the
documents evidencing or securing any indebtedness which is secured, wholly or in
part, by all or any portion of the Conveyed Assets, and no event has occurred
which with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a
default under any of the documents evidencing or securing any such indebtedness.
Other than the Permitted Liens, there are no Liens, security interests, charges
or encumbrances against all or any portion of the Conveyed Assets. Other than
with respect to Permitted Liens, no financing statement or other instrument
similar in effect covering all or any part of the Conveyed Assets is on file in
any Lien Filing Office or any other recording office, except such as may have
been filed in favor of SPV or its assignees.

has no Subsidiaries or Affiliates which have any involvement or interest in any
Resort in any way except as set forth on Exhibit J to the SPV Loan Agreement or
as otherwise contemplated by the Loan Documents. For so long as the Company has
any obligations to SPV or TFC under any of the Loan Documents, there shall not,
without TFC's and the Administrative Agent's prior written consent, which may be
granted or withheld in TFC's or Administrative Agent's sole discretion, be any
Change of Control or change of ownership of SPV that would result in the Company
owning less than 100% of the equity of SPV. The Company is not a party to any
proxies, voting trusts, agreements or similar arrangements pursuant to which
voting authority, rights or discretion with respect to the Company or SPV is
vested in any other Person.

other tribunal, which (a) could have a material adverse effect on the Company,
any Affiliate of the Company or any Resort; (b) asserts the invalidity of the
Loan Documents, (c) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, contribution, or pledge

enforceability of the Loan Documents, or (3) the Conveyed Assets, or the
interests of SPV therein, (4) or any Resort. Exhibit H to the SPV Loan Agreement
describes all currently pending litigation against the Company, SPV and each
Subject Person. Except as disclosed in Exhibit H to the SPV Loan Agreement, the
Company has not received any notice from any court, governmental authority or
other tribunal alleging that any such Person or any Resort has violated the
Timeshare Act, any other applicable statute, ordinance, rule or regulation
governing the marketing and sale of Timeshares, any Applicable Underlying
Declaration or any other applicable laws, agreements or arrangements that could
have any material effect on the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Loan
Documents, the Conveyed Assets or any Resort. The Company shall provide to SPV
prompt written notice of any action commenced against any of the foregoing
Persons.
4.9 Environmental Matters. No Resort contains any Hazardous
Materials, and no Hazardous Materials are used or stored at or transported to or
from any Resort, except in accordance with applicable laws. Neither the Company
nor any Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, Resort or any manager thereof
has received notice from any Governmental Authority, entity or other Person with

the Company's performance of its obligations pursuant to the Loan
Documents.

limitation, the previous offer and sale of Timeshares or the sale, or
offering for sale, of Encumbered Timeshares at any Resort, which
violation or failure to obtain or register materially adversely affects
the Company, SPV, the Encumbered Timeshares or the business, prospects,
profits, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company, SPV, the Company's Affiliates or any Resort. The Company, SPV,
each Resort, each Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, the
Company's Affiliates involved in the management or operation of any
Resort and all other Persons involved in the management or operations
of any Resort, possess and will at all times continue to possess all

that neither of them has made any commitment or taken any action which could
result in a claim for any broker's, finder's or other similar fees or
commissions with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify SPV and save and hold the other

Prohibited Transaction. The Company will not, and will not permit its Affiliate

Company pursuant to Section 4068 of the Pension Reform Act.

to any collective bargaining agreement with the Company and, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, there are no material grievances, disputes or controversies

4.18 The Resorts.
(a) Timeshare Plan. Each Resort has been established and
dedicated and is and, to the Company's knowledge, will remain, a
timeshare plan and project in full compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations, including without limitation, the Timeshare Act.
Related real property, all Units, all Improvements constructed or to be
constructed thereon, the Common Amenities, the Common Furnishings, the
Facilities and all related real and personal property have been and
will continue to be duly submitted to the provisions of the Applicable
Underlying Declaration and the Timeshare Documents, where applicable.
The Company will not vote to amend and will ensure that each Applicable
Timeshare Owners' Association does not vote to terminate or amend any
Applicable Underlying Declaration in any material respect without the
prior written approval of TFC and the Administrative Agent. SPV is
under no obligation to accept as Conveyed Assets any Receivables from
any Resort not listed on Exhibit F to the SPV
16
Loan Agreement unless and until TFC and the Administrative Agent
consent in writing to the addition of a new Resort from which the
Company may sell, contribute or assign Receivables to SPV as Conveyed
Assets and such Exhibit F is amended to include such new Resort.
(b) Access. Each Resort and all Units and Common Amenities
have direct access to publicly dedicated roads, and all roadways inside
each Resort are subject to an access and use easement or other
dedication or provision that benefits and will continue to benefit all
Purchasers.
(c) Utilities. Electric, gas, sanitary and stormwater sewer,
telephone, water facilities and other necessary utilities are available
and there is sufficient capacity to service each Resort and all Units,
Common Amenities and Facilities. Any easements necessary to the
furnishing of such utility services have been obtained, duly recorded
and inure to the benefit of the applicable Resort, the Applicable
Timeshare Owners' Association and all Purchasers.
(d) Amenities and Use Rights. Each Purchaser of a Timeshare
has and will forever continue to have the guaranteed, permanent,
non-exclusive right to use and right of ingress and egress to the all
of the Facilities and public utilities of the applicable Resort,
pursuant to the terms of the Applicable Cross Easement Agreement and
the Timeshare Documents. There shall be non-disturbance agreements or
similar arrangements in place to provide absolute assurances to
Purchasers in good standing of Timeshares and users and occupants of
Units that their right to use any Facilities (pursuant to the Timeshare
Documents) which are owned by the Company, a Subject Person, their
respective Affiliates, or the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association
which may be encumbered by a third party lender (including the
Facilities) is forever protected and assured and cannot be interfered
with by the Company, such Subject Person, such Affiliate, the
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association or any lender.
(e) Construction. All costs arising from the Company's
construction or acquisition of the Resorts, including all buildings and
Units and any other Improvements and the purchase of any furniture,
fixtures, equipment, inventory, furnishings or other personalty related
to the Conveyed Assets hereunder have been paid or will be paid when
due.
(f) Tangible Property. Except for specific items which may be
owned by independent contractors, the machinery, equipment, fixtures,
tools and supplies used in connection with each Resort, including
without limitation, with respect to the operations and maintenance of
the Units, Common Amenities, Common Furnishings and Facilities, are
owned by the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, the Company or
an Affiliate of the Company. In connection therewith, the Company will
obtain such non-disturbance and estoppel agreements as SPV or TFC may
require.
(g) Units at the Resorts. Each Unit is fully furnished and
ready for use and occupancy by Purchasers. All Common Furnishings
(including appliances) within Units in which the Company has sold
Timeshares have been fully paid for and are free and
17
clear of any Liens or other interests of any third party (except for
Permitted Liens), including any lessor or other lender.
(h) Assessments. Each Purchaser is automatically a member of
the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, a non-profit corporation
organized under a state of the United States, which has the authority
to levy annual assessments to cover the costs of maintaining and
operating the related Resort. Each Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association is solvent, and currently levied assessments upon
Purchasers will be adequate to cover the costs of maintaining and
operating the applicable Resort. Silverleaf Club on behalf of each
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association maintains adequate funds to
make capital improvements in accordance with the Reserve Plan. The
Company is current with respect to the payment of all assessments and
other amounts owed to the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association in
connection with any Timeshares of which the Company is deemed the
owner. There are no events which currently exist or could reasonably be
foreseen by the Company which could give rise to a material increase in
such costs. The Company will or will use its best efforts to cause
Silverleaf Club on behalf of the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association to maintain the adequate funds to make capital improvements
in accordance with the Reserve Plan. Except as otherwise provided by
law, any lien for delinquent assessments due with respect to any
Encumbered Timeshare will be subordinate to the lien of the Timeshare
Mortgage assigned to SPV for such Encumbered Timeshare.
4.19 Reservation System. The Reservation System for each Resort is
fully operational for its intended purpose. The Reservation System includes the
computer software owned by the Silverleaf Club and licensed by the Silverleaf
Club to SPV and its successors and assigns, in each case so as to allow
Purchasers reasonable access thereto. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the license provided to SPV is irrevocable and will remain in effect
notwithstanding the terms of any such prior pledges and licenses so long as any
Conveyed Assets remain outstanding. The Company acknowledges the significance of
the Reservation System to the ability of the Resorts to operate properly and
allow Purchasers to reserve assigned Units and exercise use rights. The Company
agrees to prepare, or to cause to be prepared, reports and provide information
on the Reservation System promptly upon request from SPV.
Nothing contained herein shall abrogate or otherwise interfere with any
proprietary rights in the Reservation System that have been reserved by
Silverleaf Club, so long as such proprietary rights are not asserted in a manner
that would prevent the continued operation of the Reservation System as
contemplated herein.
4.20 Timeshare Documents and Reports. The Company has furnished to
SPV true and correct copies of the Timeshare Documents listed on Exhibit G to
the SPV Loan Agreement which consist of all those placed on file by the Company
with the Regulators or any other appropriate federal, state or local regulatory
or recording agencies, offices or departments, if required. All such filings
and/or recordations, and all joinders and consents, necessary in order to
establish the plan in respect to the Encumbered Timeshares, including without
limitation, each Resort, the Units, Timeshares, and all Common Amenities, Common
Furnishings, and all related use and access rights have been done or obtained,
and all statutes, ordinances, rules and
18
regulations, and all agreements or arrangements, in connection therewith have
been complied with.
4.21 Operating Contracts. The contracts, agreements and
arrangements listed and described on Exhibit K to the SPV Loan Agreement
comprise all of the Operating Contracts. All of the Operating Contracts are and
shall (unless SPV and TFC shall otherwise consent in advance in writing) remain
unmodified, free and clear of any Lien except Liens disclosed in writing to TFC
and the Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof, and are in full force and
effect.
4.22 Architectural and Environmental Control. All Units, Common
Amenities, Common Furnishings and other real or personal property at, upon or
appurtenant to each Resort are and will continue to be in compliance with the
design, use, architectural and environmental control provisions, if any, set
forth in the Applicable Underlying Declaration, and other Timeshare Documents.
4.23 Tax Identification Numbers. The Company's federal taxpayer's
identification number is the Developer Tax ID Number.
4.24 True Sales. Each Receivable has been conveyed to SPV pursuant
to a "true" sale or contribution (and not merely a pledge) and SPV shall not be
consolidated with the Company, any Subject Person or their respective Affiliates
for the purposes of any Debtor Relief Laws.
4.25 Account Information. The Lock-Box Accounts and the Collection
Account are the only accounts to which Purchasers are directed to remit
Collections. Within 30 calendar days of the Closing Date, the Company shall
establish one or more merchant accounts in the name of SPV (the "Merchant
Accounts") in order to facilitate the processing of credit card payments for the
Pledged Receivables. Such Merchant Accounts shall be dedicated solely to the
Pledged Receivables. The Company shall instruct SPV to cause amounts credited to
such Merchant Accounts to be deposited into a Collection Account. Neither the
Company nor SPV shall change such instructions given to SPV without the written
consent of TFC and the Administrative Agent.
4.26 Interest in Real Property. The Timeshare underlying each Sold
Receivable and each Contributed Receivable is an interest in real property
consisting of an undivided interest in fee simple in a lodging unit or group of
lodging units at each Resort for a fixed or floating period of time; provided
that, subject to the criteria set forth in the definition of Eligible
Receivable, Timeshares underlying the Sold Receivables and the Contributed
Receivables may be beneficial interests in the Oak N' Spruce Resort Trust and
are therefore not fee interests in real property.
4.27 Perfection Representations and Warranties. The Company, for
the benefit of SPV and the Secured Parties, makes the following representations
and warranties (the "Perfection Representations and Warranties").
(a) General. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
the transfer and conveyance of assets made or to be made hereunder
shall constitute a sale and capital contribution to SPV, and not a
pledge to SPV, of such assets. This Agreement creates an ownership
interest or (if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the
transfers and
19
conveyances hereunder are found to constitute a pledge) a valid and
continuing Lien on the Conveyed Assets and the proceeds thereof in
favor of SPV, which (a) in the case of existing Conveyed Assets and the
proceeds thereof, is enforceable upon execution of this Agreement
against creditors of and purchasers from the Company (or with respect
to Substitute Receivables, as of the Substitution Date) and which will
be enforceable with respect to the applicable Conveyed Assets hereafter
and thereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon such creation, and
(b) upon filing of the financing statements described in clause (d)
below and, in the case of Substitute Receivables hereafter created,
upon the creation thereof, will be prior to all other interests or
Liens (other than Permitted Liens).
(b) Characterization. The Receivables constitute
"instruments," "general intangibles" or "tangible chattel paper" within
the meaning of Code Section 9-102.
(c) Creation. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the
applicable Conveyed Assets pursuant to this Agreement, except for
Permitted Liens the Company owns and has good and marketable title to,
or has a Lien on, the Conveyed Assets free and clear of any Lien, claim
or encumbrance of any Person; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Company from
suffering to exist upon any of the Conveyed Assets any Liens for any
taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable. The
Company has received all consents and approvals, if any, to the sale or
contribution of the Conveyed Assets to SPV required by the terms of the
Conveyed Assets that constitute "instruments."
(d) Perfection. The Company has caused or will have caused,
within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate
financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the ownership or
security interest granted to SPV under this Agreement in the applicable
Conveyed Assets and, with respect to any Substitute Receivables (if any
additional filing is so necessary) within 10 days of the Substitution
Date. With respect to the Conveyed Assets that constitute an instrument
or tangible chattel paper, either:
(i) All original executed copies of each such
instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Master
Servicer; or
(ii) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper
are in the possession of the Master Servicer, that it is holding such
instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the
benefit of SPV, TFC and the other Secured Parties.
(e) Priority. Other than Permitted Liens, the Company has not
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a Lien on, or otherwise conveyed, any
of the Conveyed Assets. Except for Permitted Liens, the Company has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements,
mortgage assignment or similar document against the Company that
include a description of collateral covering the Conveyed Assets. None
of the instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or
evidence the Conveyed Assets has any marks or notations indicating that
they are pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other
than SPV, TFC or the other Secured Parties.
20
4.28 Investment Company Act. Neither SPV nor the Company is an
"investment company" or an "affiliated" person of, or "promoter" or "principal
underwriter" for, an "investment company," as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
4.29 Continuation and Investigation. The representations and
warranties contained herein shall be and remain true and correct in all material
respects so long as any of the Company's obligations or Parallel Claims
hereunder or under the Loan Documents have not been fully satisfied, and each
request by the Company for a sale or contribution to occur on a Conveyance Date
shall constitute an affirmation that all of the foregoing representations and
warranties remain true and correct in all material respects as of the date
thereof. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein
or in any certificate or other document delivered to SPV or TFC, or other
Secured Parties by or on behalf of the Company, pursuant to or in connection
with the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to have been relied upon by SPV or TFC,
as applicable, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter
conducted by or on behalf of SPV or TFC, and shall survive the making of any or
all payments contemplated hereby.
4.30 Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Capital Structure. Neither the
Company nor any Subject Person has any Subsidiaries or Affiliates which have any
interest or involvement in the Resorts except as shown on Schedule 4.30. No
other Person has any legal or beneficial ownership interest in the Company. As
used in this Section, Affiliates is not intended to include any Applicable
Timeshare Owners Association.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
described in this Section 4, which are made on the Closing Date and on each
Conveyance Date, shall survive the sale or contribution of the Conveyed Assets
by the Company to SPV and any subsequent assignment of the Conveyed Assets by
SPV (including its grant of a first priority perfected security interest in, to
and under the Conveyed Assets, pursuant to the SPV Loan Agreement, in order to
secure the due payment and performance by SPV of Obligations), and the
termination of this Agreement and the Securitization Facility Documents and
shall continue so long as any Conveyed Assets shall remain outstanding.
4.31 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use all amounts received in
respect of the SPV Purchase Price solely to (i) pay expenses incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii)
to make payments of interest and principal with respect to the indebtedness
incurred and outstanding pursuant to the agreements set forth on Schedule 4.31
attached hereto.
4.32 Seismic Exposure. No portion of the Conveyed Assets
constituting real property is located in a zone 3 or zone 4 of the "Seismic Zone
Map of the U.S."
4.33 Condemnation. No portion of the Conveyed Assets constituting
real property has been taken in condemnation or other like proceedings nor is
any proceeding pending, threatened or known to be contemplated for the partial
or total condemnation or taking of any portion of the Conveyed Assets.
21
4.34 Flood Zone. Except as disclosed in the surveys delivered
pursuant hereto, no portion of the Conveyed Assets constituting real property is
located in a flood hazard area as defined by the Federal Insurance
Administration.
4.35 Heller and Sovereign Facilities. Each of SPV and TFC have been
provided with true and correct copies of the Heller Documents and the Sovereign
Documents (as each such term is defined in the TFC Tranche A Loan Agreement).
There is no event of default or event which, with the passage of time, notice or
both, would constitute an event of default under either the Heller Documents or
the Sovereign Documents and the Company is in good standing under both the
Heller Documents and the Sovereign Documents.
SECTION 5
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
So long as any portion of the Obligations or the Parallel Claims
remains unsatisfied, the Company hereby covenants and agrees with SPV to comply
with all covenants set forth in this Section 5.
5.1 Payment and Performance of Obligations. The Company shall pay

prevent the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents; and the
Company will maintain an office or agency in the State of Texas where notices,
presentations and demands in respect of the Loan Documents may be made upon the
Company. Such office or agency and the books and records of the Company shall be
maintained at the Company's corporate headquarters, which is located at the
Developer Address, until such time as the Company shall notify SPV and TFC, in
writing, of any change of location of such office or agency.
5.2 Maintenance of Existence, Qualification and Assets. The
Company shall at all times maintain its legal existence, maintain its
qualification, where required, to transact business and good standing in the
State of Texas and each Resort State and in any other jurisdiction where it
conducts business in connection with the Resorts, and comply or cause compliance
with all governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances applicable to the
Resorts or the Encumbered Timeshares, the Company or its business, including,
without limitation, the Timeshare Act and all other applicable timeshare and
consumer protection acts and regulations.
5.3 Consolidation and Merger. The Company will not consolidate
with or merge into any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate
with or merge into it, unless (i) the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation in any such consolidation or merger and (ii) prior to and
immediately after such consolidation or merger, no Default or Event of Default
shall exist. In addition, the Company shall not, without the prior written
consent of SPV, TFC and the Administrative Agent, which consent may be given,
withheld or conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion, convey, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
22
assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or
substantially all of the assets or capital stock or other ownership interest of,
any Person (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions).
5.4 Maintenance of Insurance. The Company or, if required pursuant
to the Applicable Underlying Declaration, the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association, shall maintain (or the Company shall cause to be maintained), at
all times during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance with premiums
therefor being paid when due, and shall deliver to SPV originals of insurance
policies issued by insurance companies (together with paid premium invoices in
respect thereof), in amounts, in form and in substance, and with expiration
dates, all acceptable to SPV and TFC and containing waivers of subrogation
rights by the insuring company, non-contributory standard mortgagee benefit
clauses or their equivalents and mortgagee loss payable endorsements in favor of
and satisfactory to SPV and TFC and breach of warranty coverage, providing the
following types of insurance on and with respect to the Company (or, as
appropriate, the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association) and each Resort:
(a) As to all Improvements that are completed as of the date
hereof, All Risk Special Form ("All Risk Special Form") insurance
coverage (including fire, lightning, hurricane, tornado, wind and water
damage, earthquake, vandalism and malicious mischief coverage) covering
all real and personal property which comprise such Resort, in an amount
not less than the full replacement value of such improvements and
personal property, and said policy of insurance shall provide for a
deductible acceptable to SPV and TFC, breach of warranty coverage,
replacement cost endorsements satisfactory to SPV and TFC, and shall
not permit co-insurance. As to Improvements under construction,
builder's risk insurance with extended coverage (with standard
mortgagee clause in favor of SPV and TFC), in an amount and with a
company satisfactory to SPV and TFC, and containing a provision
allowing the insured to complete the work provided for hereunder and
covering the building materials on real property during construction.
Upon completion of all construction activities, such insurance shall
convert to, or shall be replaced with, the above-described fire and
extended coverage insurance covering the Improvements, all other
property of any nature used for the construction of the Improvements
and any personal property located in or on such Resort, in an amount
not less than the full replacement value of such Improvements and
personal property, and said policy of insurance shall provide for a
deductible acceptable to SPV and TFC, breach of warranty coverage,
replacement cost endorsements satisfactory to SPV and TFC, shall not
permit co-insurance, and with an endorsement which includes as a loss
payable any additional interest expense caused by a peril insured
against under the policy. Such coverage for interest expense is limited
to the period of time from the date of physical damage until such time
as will reasonably elapse, in the exercise of due diligence, to the
repair of the damage to its prior state. All insurance shall
specifically cover architect and engineering fees necessary to repair
or replace any insured portion of such Resort and shall cover debris
removal;
(b) Public liability and property damage insurance covering
such Resort in amounts and on terms satisfactory to SPV and TFC; and
23
(c) Such other insurance on such Resort or any replacements or
substitutions therefor, including, without limitation, rent loss,
business interruption, flood insurance (if such Resort is or becomes
located in an area which is considered a flood risk by the U.S.
Emergency Management Agency or pursuant to the National Flood Insurance
program), in such amounts and upon such terms as may from time to time
be reasonably required by SPV and TFC.
SPV and TFC shall expressly be named as additional insureds
and loss payees in each insurance policy described in this Section. To
the extent any "institutional mortgagee," "institutional lender" or
"mortgagee" (as defined or used in the Applicable Underlying
Declaration) other than SPV or TFC has any rights to approve the form
of insurance policies with respect to any Resort, the amounts of
coverage thereunder, the insurers under such policies or the
designation of an attorney-in-fact for purposes of dealing with damage
to any part of such Resort or insurance claims or matters related
thereto or any successor to such attorney-in-fact or any changes with
respect to any of the foregoing, the Company shall take all steps as
may be necessary to (and, after turnover, if any, of control of such
Resort to the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, the Company
shall use its best efforts to) ensure that SPV and TFC shall at all
times have a co-equal right with such other "preferred mortgagee,"
"institutional lender" or other "mortgagee" (including, without
limitation, the Company or any third-party lender), to approve all such
matters and any proposed changes in respect thereof; and the Company
shall not cause and shall use its best efforts to prohibit any changes
with respect to any insurance policies, insurers, coverage,
attorney-in-fact or insurance trustee, if any, without SPV's and TFC's
prior written approval.
In the event of any insured loss or claim in respect of all or
any portion of any Resort or the Encumbered Timeshares, or any real
property comprising a portion of the Collateral, the Company shall
apply (or cause to be applied), and the Company covenants that the
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association shall apply (or cause to be
applied), all proceeds of such insurance policies in a manner
consistent with the Timeshare Documents, the Timeshare Act, and all
other applicable statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations and the
Loan Documents.
All insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement (or
the Timeshare Documents or the Timeshare Act) shall provide that the
coverage afforded thereby shall not expire or be amended, canceled,
modified or terminated without at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to SPV and TFC. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of each policy maintained pursuant to this Section, a
renewal or replacement thereof satisfactory to SPV and TFC shall be
delivered to SPV and TFC. The Company shall deliver or cause the
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association to deliver to SPV and TFC
receipts evidencing the payment of all premiums for all such insurance
policies and renewals or replacements. The delivery of any insurance
policies hereunder shall constitute an assignment of all unearned
premiums. In the event that the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association shall fail to make all required premium payments for all
such insurance policies at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of each policy maintained pursuant to this Section, the
Company shall immediately upon receiving notice thereof notify SPV and
TFC in writing of such failure to timely pay the required
24
insurance premiums. The Company shall make a good faith inquiry on a
regular basis to the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association to
determine if the required insurance premiums covering the Conveyed
Assets have been paid. If the Company determines upon such inquiry or
otherwise that the required insurance premiums have not been paid, the
Company shall immediately notify SPV and TFC of such failure to timely
pay the required insurance premium and the Company shall have thirty
(30) days from receipt of a written request from SPV or TFC to cause
the required insurance premiums to be paid. If the required insurance
premiums are not paid within such thirty (30) day period, SPV or TFC
may, in its sole discretion, without any obligation to do so, choose to
pay such required insurance premiums on behalf of the Company or the
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, in which case the Company
shall pay SPV or TFC, as applicable, such amounts upon demand. SPV or
TFC may also, in its sole discretion, in the event the required
insurance premiums are not paid when due, establish an insurance escrow
account from which SPV or TFC, as applicable, may make insurance
payments on behalf of the Company or the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association when insurance premiums shall become due. If the required
insurance premiums are not paid as required and SPV or TFC elects not
to pay such insurance premiums or establish an escrow account for
payment thereof, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
under the SPV Loan Agreement.
SPV acknowledges that the insurance policies delivered by the
Company to SPV prior to the Closing Date are acceptable to SPV.
In the event of any fire or other casualty to or with respect
to improvements on or at any Resort or any other real property
comprising a portion of the Collateral, the Company covenants that it
or the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association, as the case may be,
will promptly restore, repair or replace (or cause to be restored,
repaired or replaced) the damaged improvements and repair or replace
any other personal property to the same condition as immediately prior
to such fire or other casualty and, with respect to the improvements
and personal property on such Resort and any real property comprising a
portion of the Collateral, in accordance with the terms of the
Timeshare Documents, the Timeshare Act and all other applicable
statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations. The insufficiency of any
net insurance proceeds shall in no way relieve the Company or, as
applicable, the Company and the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association of their respective obligations to restore, repair or
replace such improvements and personal property in accordance with the
terms hereof, of the Applicable Underlying Declaration or other
Timeshare Documents or of the Timeshare Act, and the Company covenants
that the Company or, as the case may be, the Applicable Timeshare
Owners' Association, shall promptly comply and cause compliance with
the provisions of the Applicable Underlying Declaration and other
Timeshare Documents, and of the Timeshare Act and all other applicable
statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to such
restoration, repair or replacement.
The Company shall in good faith cooperate with SPV and TFC in
obtaining for SPV and TFC the benefits of any insurance or other
proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to the Company, SPV or TFC in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Loan
Documents (including the payment by the Company of the
25
expense of an independent appraisal on behalf of SPV or TFC in case of
a fire or other casualty affecting any Resort).
5.5 Payment of Liabilities, Taxes and Claims. The Company will pay
and, as applicable pursuant to the Applicable Underlying Declaration, the
Company covenants that the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association will pay,
when due, all of its obligations and liabilities, including all taxes imposed on
or with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby or by any of the Loan
Documents, the Conveyed Assets, the Encumbered Timeshares or on or with respect
to the Company or any income, property or profits of the Company and shall pay
all other charges and assessments against the Company, the Conveyed Assets and
the Encumbered Timeshares before any claim (including, without limitation,
claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) arises for sums which have
become due and payable. The Company will pay and, as applicable pursuant to the
Applicable Underlying Declaration, the Company covenants that the Applicable
Timeshare Owners' Association will pay when due, all taxes imposed upon each
Resort, the Collateral, the Company, the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association, or any of their respective assets or with respect to any of their
franchises, businesses, income or profits. The Company shall make good faith
inquiry on a regular basis to determine if the required taxes have been paid.
The Company shall immediately notify SPV and TFC in writing of any failure to
timely pay all taxes due. In the event that SPV or TFC determines (through
notice from Company or otherwise) that such taxes have not been paid when due,
the Company shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of a written request for
payment from SPV or TFC to cause the required taxes with respect to each Resort
to be paid. If such required taxes (and any applicable late charges, etc.) are
not paid within such thirty (30) day period, SPV or TFC may, in its sole
discretion, without any obligation to do so, choose to pay such taxes on behalf
of the Company or the Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association in which case the
Company shall pay SPV or TFC, as applicable, such amounts upon demand; SPV or
TFC may also, in its discretion, in the event the required taxes with respect to
any Resort are not paid when due, establish a tax escrow account from which SPV
or TFC may, make tax payments on behalf of the Company or the Applicable
Timeshare Owners' Association when taxes shall become due. In the event SPV or
TFC elects not to pay the required taxes or establish a tax escrow account, and
the required taxes for any Resort are not paid as set forth above, such failure
shall constitute an Event of Default under the SPV Loan Agreement. The Company
shall pay, and the Company covenants that the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
Association shall pay, all other charges and assessments levied against the
Company, the Conveyed Assets or any Resort before any claim (including, without
limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) arises for
amounts which have become due and payable. Except for the Liens in favor of SPV
granted pursuant to the Loan Documents, and except for Permitted Liens, the
Company covenants that no statutory or other Liens whatsoever (including,
without limitation, mechanics', materialmen's, judgment or tax liens) shall
attach to any of the Conveyed Assets or the Resorts. In the event any such Lien
attaches to any portion of the Collateral or any Resort, the Company shall,
within thirty (30) days after any such Lien attaches, either cause such Lien to
be released of record; or provide SPV and TFC with a bond in accordance with the
applicable laws, issued by a corporate surety acceptable to SPV and TFC, in an
amount and form acceptable to SPV and TFC.
5.6 Inspections. The Company shall (and shall cause its Affiliates
to), at reasonable times and from time to time, upon reasonable notice and at
the expense of the Company, including but not limited to the travel expenses of
SPV, TFC, Administrative Agent or their
26
agents and representatives, permit SPV, TFC, the Administrative Agent or their
agents or representatives to inspect the Resort, the Conveyed Assets and any of
the Company's or any Subject Person's assets, including but not limited to all
documents, bank statements, and other records within the Company's possession,
custody or control, and to examine and make copies of and abstracts from its
and, to the extent it has access thereto or possession thereof and the
Applicable Timeshare Owners' Association's books, accounts, records, original
correspondence, computer tapes, disks, software, and other papers as it may
desire; and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with any of its
officers, employees, Affiliates, contractors or independent certified public
accountants (and by this provision, the Company authorizes said accountants to
discuss with SPV, TFC, the Administrative Agent or their agents or
representatives, the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company). SPV and TFC
agree to use reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the Company's
business operations in connection with any such inspections. Without limiting
the foregoing, SPV and TFC shall have the right to make such credit
investigations as SPV or TFC may deem appropriate in connection with its review
of Receivables, and the Company shall make available to SPV and TFC all credit
information in the Company's possession or under its control or to which it may
have access, with respect to Purchasers or other obligors under Receivables as
SPV, TFC or the Administrative Agent may request.

or "contracts for deed" (except that the Company shall have the right
to sell Timeshares to Purchasers in arms-length transactions in the
ordinary course of the Company's activities as Subservicer);
(b) lease or license any portion of the Conveyed Assets, or
change the legal or actual possession or use thereof (except rental or

Company's activities as Subservicer);
(c) permit the assignment, transfer, delegation, change,
modification or diminution of the duties or responsibilities of the

such Resort (except for an assignment of such duties to a professional
management company or companies reasonably acceptable to SPV and TFC);
(d) permit the dilution, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or
encumbrance of any of the ownership interests of the Company or SPV
which would result in a Change in Control or of the Company owning less
than 100% of the equity of SPV; or
(e) other than the assignment of certain Operating Contracts
and all or any portion of the Company's right, title or interest in
certain Applicable Underlying Declarations made prior to the Closing
Date pursuant to the Existing Agreements, to the extent within the
control of the Company, cause or permit the assignment, pledge or other
encumbrance of any of the Operating Contracts or all or any portion of
the Company's right, title or interest in any Applicable Underlying
Declaration.
In the event that SPV, TFC or the Administrative Agent, in
such Person's sole discretion, is willing to consent to a transfer
which would otherwise be prohibited by this Section, such Person may
condition its consent on such terms as it desires, including, without
limitation, the requirement that the Company pay a transfer fee,
together with any expenses incurred by TFC in connection with the
granting of such consent (including without limitation, attorney's fees
and expenses).
5.27 Transactions with Affiliates. Without the prior written
consent of SPV and TFC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the
Company shall not enter into any transaction with any Affiliate in connection
with the Conveyed Assets or the Resorts, including, without limitation, relating
to the purchase, sale or exchange of any assets or properties or the rendering
of any service, except in the ordinary course of, and pursuant to the reasonable
40
requirements of, the operations of the Resorts and upon fair and reasonable
terms and pursuant to the terms hereof.
5.28 Restrictive Covenants. The Company will not, and will not
permit its Affiliate to, without SPV's and TFC's prior written consent, seek,
consent to, or otherwise acquiesce in, any change in any private restrictive
covenant, planning or zoning law or other public or private restriction, which
would materially or adversely limit or alter the use of any Resort, Units or the
Encumbered Timeshares.
5.29 Subordinated Obligations. The Company will not, directly or
indirectly: (i) permit any payment to be made by the Company in respect of any
indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, including
without limitation, the Subordinated Indebtedness, to any of its shareholders or
their affiliates, the SPV Owners, the Subject Persons or their Affiliates which
are subordinated by the terms thereof or by separate instrument to the payment
of principal of, and interest on, the Company's obligations under the Loan
Documents; (ii) permit the amendment, rescission or other modification of any
such subordination provisions of any of the Company's subordinated obligations
in such a manner as to affect adversely TFC's Lien in and to the Conveyed Assets
or TFC's senior priority position and entitlement as to payment and rights with
respect to SPV Note and the Obligations and the Parallel Claims; or (iii) permit
the prepayment or redemption, except for mandatory prepayments, of all or any
part of the Company's obligations to its shareholders or their affiliates, the
SPV Owners, the Subject Persons or their Affiliates, or of any subordinated
obligations of SPV except in accordance with the terms of such subordination.
5.30 Timeshare Plans. Without SPV's and TFC's prior written
consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to,
amend, modify or terminate any Applicable Underlying Declaration, any other
Timeshare Document or any other restrictive covenants, agreements or easements
regarding the Conveyed Assets (except for routine non-substantive modifications
which have no impact on the Conveyed Assets). Other than any such assignments or
filings made prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the Existing Agreements and
as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall not assign its rights as
"developer," if any, under any Applicable Underlying Declaration, or file or
permit to be filed any additional covenants, conditions, easements or
restrictions against or affecting any Resort (or any portion thereof) without
SPV's and TFC's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
5.31 Conveyed Assets; No Modifications. (a) Neither the Company nor
any of its Affiliates shall take any action (or permit or consent to the taking
of any action) which might impair the value of all or any portion of the
Conveyed Assets or any of the rights of SPV or TFC with respect to the Conveyed
Assets, nor shall any such Person cause or permit any amendment to or
modification of the form or terms of any of the Sold Receivables, Contributed
Receivables, Timeshare Mortgages or any Timeshare Documents, other than

Developer Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Sold

41
Person in its sole discretion, the Company shall not amend or otherwise
modify the Developer Credit and Collection Policy.

office, the locations at which it does business or its corporate
structure without first (i) providing prior notice to SPV and TFC, (ii)

Permitted Liens), each at the Company's expense.
(d) The Company shall execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to TFC and SPV all security agreements,
financing statements, assignments and such other agreements, documents,
instruments and certificates, and all supplements and amendments
thereto, and take such other actions, as are (or TFC or SPV deems to
be) necessary or appropriate in order to maintain (i) as valid,
enforceable and perfected ownership interests, all interests of SPV and
TFC in the Sold Receivables and Contributed Receivables and other
Conveyed Assets transferred by the Company to SPV, and (ii) as valid,
enforceable and perfected first priority liens and security interests,
all Liens in the Conveyed Assets (subject only to Permitted Liens)
granted to TFC to secure the Obligations and the Parallel Claims.
(e) The Company shall not grant extensions of time for the
payment of, or compromise for less than the full face value or release
in whole or in part, any Purchaser or other Person liable for the
payment of, or allow any credit whatsoever except for the amount of
cash to be paid upon, any Conveyed Assets or any instrument, chattel
paper or document representing the Conveyed Assets.
(f) The Company will defend the Conveyed Assets against, and
will take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien or
claim on or to the Conveyed Assets, other than Permitted Liens, and the
Company will defend the right, title and interest of SPV, TFC and the
other Secured Parties in and to all of the Conveyed Assets against

extend, amend, forgive, discharge, compromise, cancel or otherwise
modify or waive the terms of any Conveyed Asset.

representation or promise made to a Purchaser of a Timeshare related to a Sold
Receivable or Contributed Receivable hereunder.
5.34 Prohibition of Fundamental Changes. The Company shall not (a)

TFC.

furnished, including but not limited to any schedule or servicing report, by or
on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates to SPV, TFC or the Master Servicer in
connection with the SPV Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be true, correct and accurate
in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable
estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.
5.38 Restrictions on Income and Accounts. The Company shall not,
without the written consent of SPV, TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may
be given, withheld or conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion, sell,
assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or
suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to, or assign any right to receive
income in respect of any Conveyed Asset with respect thereto, or upon or with
respect to the account in which any Collections or other proceeds of any
Conveyed Assets are deposited.
5.39 Payment Instructions to Purchasers. The Company shall not,
without the written consent of SPV, TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may
be given, withheld or conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion, make
any change in its instructions to Purchasers regarding payments to be made to
the Account Agent or payments to be deposited to the Collection Account (other
than instructions to mail or deposit such payments to the Account Agent or in
the Collection Account) as set forth in Section 5.43 hereof.
5.40 True Sales. The Company shall not, without the written consent
of SPV, TFC and the Administrative Agent, which may be given, withheld or
conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion, make statements or
disclosures or prepare any financial statements which shall account for the

for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby (including but not limited to,
for accounting, tax and reporting purposes) in any manner other than as a sale
or absolute assignment or contribution of the Conveyed Assets.
43
5.41 Restrictions on Actions Affecting Rights. The Company shall
not, without the written consent of SPV, TFC and the Administrative Agent, which
may be given, withheld or conditioned by such Person in its sole discretion,
take any action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take
action may interfere with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement or
the Loan Documents that are material to the rights, benefits or obligations of
SPV or TFC or its assigns; take any action, or fail to take any action, if such
action or failure to take action may interfere with the enforcement of any
rights with respect to the Conveyed Assets; or fail to pay any tax, assessment,
charge, fee or other obligation of the Company with respect to the Conveyed
Assets, unless and to the extent only that such taxes, fees, assessment or other
governmental charges shall be contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings and that, to the extent required by GAAP, proper and adequate book
reserves relating thereto are established by the Company and then only to the
extent that a bond is filed in cases where the filing of a bond is necessary to
avoid the creation of a Lien against any of its properties, no tax lien or
similar Lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted with respect to any
such tax, fees, assessment or other governmental charge, or fail to defend any
action, if such failure to pay or defend may adversely affect the priority or
enforceability of the first priority perfected ownership or security interest of
SPV and its assigns in the Conveyed Assets or the right, title or interest of
such Persons in the Conveyed Assets.
5.42 Offices and Records. The Company shall keep its chief place of
business and chief executive offices at the Developer Address or, upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to SPV and TFC, at such other location in a
jurisdiction where all action required by Section 5.17 shall have been taken
with respect to the Conveyed Assets. In connection therewith, SPV and TFC may
institute procedures to permit it to confirm the Purchaser outstanding balances
in respect of any Conveyed Assets. The Company agrees to render to SPV and TFC,
at the Company's own cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may
be reasonably requested with regard to the foregoing. If an Event of Default or

otherwise cause the Purchasers obligated on the Sold Receivables and Contributed

Account, or as otherwise required by the Administrative Agent. If,
notwithstanding such instructions, the Company receives any such Collections,
the Company shall receive all such Collections in trust for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Secured Parties; and the Company shall deliver such
Collections to the Account Agent (in the form so received) within one Business
Day following receipt thereof, unless the Administrative Agent shall have
notified the Company to deliver such payments elsewhere in which event the
Company shall so deliver such Collections (in the form so received) within one
Business Day following receipt thereof.
5.44 Maintenance of Licenses. The Company shall maintain all
licenses, permits, charters and registrations which are material to the conduct
of its business.
44
5.45 Separate Corporate Existence. The Company hereby acknowledges
that SPV and TFC are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents in reliance upon the Company's and SPV's identities as legal entities
separate from each other and separate from their Affiliates. Therefore, from and
after the date hereof, the Company shall take all reasonable steps to continue
the Company's and SPV's identity as a separate legal entity and to make it
apparent to third Persons that each of the Company and SPV are entities with
assets and liabilities distinct from those of each other and any of their other
Affiliates and any other Person, and that SPV is not a division of the Company
or any such Affiliate or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company shall not take any action, or omit to take any
action, within the control of the Company that would cause SPV to violate
Section 7.33 of the SPV Loan Agreement, and the Company shall take such actions,
as shall be required in order that:
(a) SPV will be a Delaware corporation whose activities are
restricted by its organizational documents to entering into the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and conducting such other
activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the
activities referred to in this Section.
(b) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Company or SPV
will be compensated from funds of the Company or SPV, as applicable,
for services provided to the Company or SPV, as applicable. SPV will
engage no agents other than (i) a Master Servicer pursuant to the
Section 5 of the SPV Loan Agreement, which Master Servicer will be
fully compensated for its services to Trust, and (ii) an administrator
or manager pursuant to an administrative services agreement, whose
ongoing fees, if any, will be paid from funds of SPV.
(c) To the extent, if any, that SPV and the Company (or any
other Affiliate thereof) share items of expenses such as legal,
auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be
allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the
value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related
to the actual use or the value of services rendered, it being
understood that the Company shall pay all expenses relating to the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, legal and other up-front fees.
(d) Each of the Company's and SPV's operating expenses will
not be the responsibility of the other or any other Affiliate thereof.
(e) Each of the Company and SPV will have their own separate
stationery.
(f) SPV's books and records will be maintained separately from
those of the Company and any other Affiliate thereof.
(g) All audited financial statements of the Company or any
Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include SPV will contain, to
the extent required by GAAP, detailed notes clearly stating that all of
SPV's assets are owned by SPV, and SPV is a separate legal entity with
creditors who have received ownership and/or security interests in
SPV's assets.
45
(h) SPV's assets will be maintained in a manner that
facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the
Company or any Affiliate thereof.
(i) SPV will strictly observe its independent business
formalities in its dealings with the Company or any Affiliate thereof,
including, without limitation, separate books and records, separate
officers and separate meetings of the Board of Directors, and funds or
other assets of SPV will not be commingled with those of the Company or
any Affiliate thereof. SPV shall not maintain joint bank accounts or
other depository accounts to which the Company or any Affiliate thereof
has independent access. None of SPV's funds will at any time be pooled
with any funds of the Company or any Affiliate thereof.
(j) SPV will maintain arm's-length relationships with the
Company and any Affiliate thereof. Any Person that renders or otherwise
furnishes services to SPV will be compensated by SPV at market rates
for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to SPV except as
otherwise provided in these Loan Documents. Except as contemplated in
the Loan Documents, SPV will not be and will not hold itself out to be
responsible for the debts of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or
the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of
the Company or any Affiliate thereof; and none of the Company or any
Affiliate thereof will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts
of SPV or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and
affairs of SPV.
5.46 Recordation and Endorsements. The Company shall take all
action necessary to enable SPV, and shall use its best efforts to assist SPV in
complying with, Section 7.35 of the SPV Loan Agreement. Developer shall endorse
each Receivable in favor of SPV, and shall properly assign and record each
Timeshare Mortgage with each Lien Filing Office within twenty-one days of the
date on which such related Receivable initially becomes part of the Collateral
hereunder.
5.47 Oak N' Spruce Resort Trust. The Company shall at all times
comply and, as applicable, cause compliance by its Affiliates with each Oak N'
Spruce Document. Without SPV's and TFC's prior written consent, the Company
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, amend, modify or
terminate any Oak N' Spruce Document or any other restrictive covenants,
agreements or easements regarding the Oak N' Spruce Trust. Other than any such
assignments or filings made prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the Existing
Agreements and as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall not assign its
rights under any Oak N' Spruce Document, including without limitation, its
rights as "Declarant" under the Oak N' Spruce Declaration of Trust, or permit
the trustee thereunder to assign its rights or obligations thereunder, or file
or permit to be filed any additional covenants, conditions, easements or
restrictions against or affecting the Oak N' Spruce Trust without SPV's and
TFC's prior written consent. Developer shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, UCC filings, including amendments and continuations thereof, with
regard to the Oak N' Spruce Trust necessary to maintain a first priority,
perfected security or ownership interest therein in favor of SPV.
46
SECTION 6
REPURCHASES; SUBSTITUTIONS
6.1 Repurchase of Defective Receivables. Upon discovery by the
Company, SPV, TFC or any direct or indirect assignee of the rights of TFC
hereunder, that a Receivable included in the Conveyed Asset meets the criteria
for being a Defective Receivable (other than the passage of the cure periods
specified therein) the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the other aforementioned parties (such notice, a "Defect
Notice"). As a result of such breach, the Company shall be required, subject to
the following, to repurchase from SPV (but subject to the payment obligation as
provided in the last sentence of this Section 6.1) any Defective Receivable. The
Company shall not be required to repurchase a Defective Receivable until the
cure periods described in the definitions thereof have lapsed. Upon the later of
the lapse thereof or the fifth day after the date on which the Company has
actual knowledge of the existence of such Defective Receivable and the related
breach, the Company shall repurchase the Defective Receivable for a purchase
price equal to the then applicable Defective Receivable Purchase Price. Any
payment in respect of a Defective Receivable shall be remitted directly to TFC
for application as provided in the SPV Loan Agreement.
6.2 Substitutions.
(a) The Company may (but shall not be required to), with the
written consent of the Master Servicer, convey Substitute Receivables
to SPV, provided that the requirements of Section 3.2 of the SPV Loan
Agreement are satisfied. The Company shall deliver to the Master
Servicer, on the tenth Business Day prior to the proposed date of
substitution, which proposed date shall be a Payment Date (the
"Substitution Date"), a "Substitution Certificate" in the form of
Exhibit B identifying (i) all of the Exchange Receivables, and the
Delinquent Receivables for which they will be exchanged, and (ii) all
Replacement Receivables and the related Upgrade Receivables. The
exchange or replacement of such Receivables shall not become effective
until TFC has approved such Substitution Certificate and Sale
Assignment on or prior to the Substitution Date. To the extent that the
aggregate outstanding balance of all Substitute Receivables transferred
to the SPV in exchange for Delinquent Receivables on any day exceeds
the aggregate outstanding balance of such Delinquent Receivables, the
SPV will be required to make a payment to the Company for the amount of
such excess, in cash to the extent that the SPV has cash available, or,
to the extent it does not have cash available, by increasing the
balance of the Subordinated Note (unless, after giving effect to such
increase, the Overcollateralization Amount would be less than the
Required Overcollateralization Amount, in which case the amount of such
excess will be deemed to be a capital contribution by the Company to
the SPV). To the extent that the aggregate outstanding balance of all
Substitute Receivables transferred to the SPV as a replacement for
Upgrade Receivables on any day exceeds the aggregate outstanding
balance of such Upgrade Receivables, the SPV will be required to make a
payment to the Company for the amount of such excess, in cash to the
extent that the SPV has cash available, or, to the extent it does not
have cash available, by increasing the balance of the Subordinated Note
(unless such increase would cause the Overcollateralization Amount to
be less than the Required
47
Overcollateralization Amount, in which case the amount of such excess
will be deemed to be a capital contribution by the Company to the SPV).
(b) In its capacity as Subservicer, the Company may (but shall
not be required to) repurchase a Defaulted Receivable for a purchase
price equal to 25% of the aggregate amount owed to SPV in respect
thereof (whether for principal, interest or otherwise), in lieu of
attempting to remarket the related Timeshare for the benefit of SPV and
its assigns; provided that such repurchase must be made within thirty
(30) days of the Company having actual knowledge of the existence of
such Defaulted Receivable. If such Defaulted Receivable shall not have
been so repurchased within such 30 day period, the Company shall be
required to remarket the related Timeshare, and otherwise attempt to
recover on such Defaulted Receivable, in accordance with the
Subservicing Agreement. Such purchase price shall be paid to the
Collection Account.
(c) Upon the addition of the Exchange Receivables to the
Collateral pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the SPV Loan Agreement or the
repurchase of Receivables pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the SPV Loan
Agreement or Section 6.2(b) hereof, the related Deleted Receivables
and/or repurchased Receivables shall be released from the Collateral,
and shall be reconveyed by SPV to the Company at the Company's expense.

Parallel Claims and the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon SPV's receipt of one or
more counterparts hereof signed by the Company and SPV. If any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term thereof,

unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof or thereof, and the
remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by
its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this

similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

Company under the Loan Documents or any other amounts owing to SPV or TFC. The
Company shall satisfy its obligations under the Loan Documents when due in good
funds denominated in U.S. Dollars.
7.12 Further Assurances. The Company agrees to do such further acts
and things and to execute and deliver to SPV, TFC, the Administrative Agent, or
any assignee such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments as

remedies hereunder.

assigns, with or without notice, shall not impair or otherwise affect the

Agreement, or any payment thereunder, may be extended from time to time, and

even if the Company is not a party to such agreement. SPV may assign, without
the Company's consent, its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to any other Person, including, without limitation, TFC or any of its
Affiliates and TFC and any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise all
rights of the SPV thereunder. The Company hereby agrees that it will not be
necessary for the holder or pledgee of the Demand Note, in order to enforce
payment under the Demand Note, to first institute or exhaust the holder's or
pledgee's other remedies against the Company or SPV under the SPV Loan Agreement
or against any collateral for the Demand Note or the SPV Loan Agreement. Any
amount demanded from the Company, pursuant to the Demand Note, by the holder or
the pledgee of the Demand Note shall be remitted directly to such holder or
pledgee, as applicable. Such holder or pledgee shall not be required to obtain,
and the Company shall not be required to receive, SPV's consent prior to making
any demand or payment, as applicable, under the Demand Note. The Administrative
Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility Documents, has a
security interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and may from
time to time enforce SPV's or TFC's rights and remedies hereunder. The

consent, request, notice, direction, approval, demand, extension or waiver given
by SPV or TFC and any such item given by the Administrative Agent, the request,
notice, direction or demand of the Administrative Agent shall control; provided
that this Section shall not constitute a waiver by SPV, TFC or its Affiliates of
any of their rights under, or any provision of the Securitization Facility
Documents concerning TFC's or the Administrative Agent's exercise of the rights
described in this Section. TFC and the Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to perform any of SPV's duties or obligations under or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. TFC and the Administrative
Agent, as SPV's collateral assignees, shall have the benefit of all
representations and warranties made to SPV in this Agreement.

agreements made by the Company herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any
other agreement, document, instrument or certificate delivered by or on behalf
of the Company under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to

TFC of such Loan Documents (and each part thereof), regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of SPV or TFC.
