national banking association, as Indenture Trustee (together with
its successors in such capacity, the “ Indenture
Trustee ”), are parties to a certain Amended and Restated
Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2008 (as the same may from time to
time be amended or otherwise modified, the “ Indenture

NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and adequacy of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION
I. DEFINITIONS
Section
1.1.
Definitions . Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth in the “Second Amended and
Restated Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex
A .
Section
1.2.
Other Definitional Provisions . (a) Unless otherwise
specified therein, all terms defined in this Agreement shall have
the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document
made or delivered pursuant hereto.
(b) The
words “hereof”, “herein”, and
“hereunder” and words of similar import when used in

SECTION II.
AMOUNT
AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS
Section
2.1.
Purchases . (a) Each Purchaser hereby directs that the Notes
be registered in the name of the Agent, as nominee on behalf of the
Purchasers from time to time hereunder.
(b) On
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement from the
Amendment Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date, each
Committed Purchaser severally, agrees to advance its Commitment
Percentage of each Borrowing requested; provided that in no
event shall a Committed Purchaser be required on any date to make
an advance exceeding its aggregate Available Commitment,
(determined prior to giving effect to such advance or the Maximum
Borrowing Amount); provided , further that in no
event shall Borrowings occur more frequently than once every
calendar month unless otherwise approved by the Agent.
(c)
Such
advance shall be made available to the Issuer, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.2 hereof, at
or prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable Funding
Date by deposit of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Issuer to the Agent.
(d)
Each
Borrowing on the applicable Funding Date shall be made on prior
notice from the Issuer received by the Agent (such notice, a
“ Borrowing Notice ”) not later than 10:00 a.m.
New York City time on the second Business Day preceding such
Funding Date. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify (i) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing, which may not
exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount, and (ii) the applicable
Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day) and shall be in
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D .
Borrowings may occur on any Business Day. The Agent shall promptly
forward a copy of all Borrowing Notices to each Purchaser no later
than Noon on the same day received.
(e)
Pursuant
to the Indenture, the Issuer shall issue five Classes of Notes
– the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes,
the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes. Each Borrowing shall be
evidenced by a corresponding increase in the Outstanding Note
Balance of each Class of Notes. A Class of Notes will have its
Outstanding Note Balance increased on each Funding Date by an
amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such Borrowing and
(B) such Class’ Percentage Interest.
-2-
(f)
Payments
on the Notes shall be made as provided in the Indenture and the
Agent shall allocate to the Purchasers each payment in respect of
the Notes received by the Agent in its capacity as nominee of the
Purchasers.
(g) The Agent
shall keep records of each Borrowing, each Interest Accrual Period
applicable thereto, the interest rate(s) applicable to the Notes
and each payment of principal and interest thereon. Such records
shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter
thereof absent manifest error.
(h) The
aggregate minimum advance for a Funding Date shall be $4,000,000;
provided , however , that if the Available Commitment
shall be less than $4,000,000, the minimum advance shall be equal
to the Available Commitment.
Section
2.2.
Reductions, Increases and Extensions of Commitments . (a) At
any time the Issuer may, acting at the direction of the Residual
Interest Owner, upon at least three Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Agent, terminate the Commitments or reduce
the aggregate Commitments; provided , however , such
Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than $50,000,000;
provided , further , that any such reduction shall
not entitle the Issuer to prepay the balance of the Notes other
than through Available Funds. Each such partial reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amount requested by the
Issuer to which the Committed Purchasers consent). Reductions of
the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.2(a) shall
be allocated pro rata among the Committed Purchasers in
accordance with each Committed Purchaser’s Commitment
Percentage. At any time, the Agent may upon the request of the
Residual Interest Owner and the consent of all the Committed
Purchasers (which consent may be withheld in their sole
discretion), increase the Commitments of the Committed
Purchasers.
(b) On
the Facility Termination Date, the Commitment of each Committed
Purchaser shall be automatically reduced to zero.
(c)
On
the Amendment Date, Branch Banking and Trust Company has executed
an amended and restated Joinder Supplement (as defined below) and
on the Amendment Date is a Committed Purchaser hereunder. Subject
to the provisions of subsections 8.1(a) and 8.1(b), any other
Person may from time to time with the consent of the Agent and the
Issuer become a party to this Agreement as a Purchaser by (i)
delivering to the Issuer an Investment Letter and (ii) entering
into an agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B hereto (a “ Joinder Supplement
”), with the Agent and the Issuer, acknowledged by the
Servicer, which shall specify (A) the name and address of such
Person for purposes of Section 9.2 hereof, (B) its Commitment, if
any, and (C) the other information provided for in such form of
Joinder Supplement. Upon its receipt of a duly executed Joinder
Supplement, the Agent shall on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto give notice of such effectiveness to the Issuer,
the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.
(d) A
Joinder Supplement may provide for a reduction in the Commitment of
a Committed Purchaser if, in accordance with the terms thereof,
proper notice is delivered to the Agent, the Issuer and the
Servicer. At any time such notice is received from a
-3-
Committed Purchaser, the
Commitment of such Committed Purchaser shall be reduced as provided
for therein.
(e)
So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unless
otherwise agreed by the Agent), no more than 75 and no less than 45
days prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, the Issuer may
request, through the Agent, that each Purchaser extend the
Commitment Expiration Date to a date which is up to 364 days after
the Commitment Expiration Date then in effect, which decision will
be made by each Purchaser in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of
any such request, the Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser
thereof. Within 10 Business Days of notice from the Agent, each
Purchaser shall notify the Agent of its willingness or refusal to
so extend the Commitment Expiration Date (the “ Extension
Notice Deadline ”). The Agent shall notify the Issuer of
such willingness or refusal by the Purchasers within five Business
Days of the Extension Notice Deadline. If any Purchaser notifies
the Agent of its refusal to extend or does not expressly notify the
Agent that it is willing to extend the Commitment Expiration Date
by the applicable Extension Notice Deadline (each a “
Non-Extending Purchaser ”), the Commitment Expiration
Date shall not be so extended.
(f)
On
the Amendment Date, the aggregate Commitments and the Maximum
Facility Balance shall each be $150,000,000.
Section
2.3.
Fees, Expenses, Payments, Etc . (a) Bluegreen agrees to pay
to the Agent and the Placement Agent, the Fees and other amounts
set forth in the Fee Letters at the times specified
therein.
(b)
Bluegreen
further agrees to pay on the earlier of the Payment Date in July
2009 and the initial Funding Date after the Amendment Date, to the
Agent all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration (including any
requested amendments, waivers or consents of any of the Transaction
Documents) of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, and the
other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection
herewith, including the reasonable fees for the Agent’s
counsel and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent with
respect thereto.
(c)
Bluegreen
agrees to pay to the Agent and, following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default other than one arising from
the failure of the Obligors to make payments on the Timeshare
Loans, each Purchaser, promptly following presentation of an
invoice therefor, all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), if any, in connection
with the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, and the
other documents delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith.
(d)
Bluegreen
further agrees to pay on demand any and all documentary, stamp,
transfer and other taxes and governmental fees payable in
connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of
any of the Transaction Documents or the other documents and
agreements to be delivered hereunder and thereunder or otherwise in
connection with the issuance of the Notes, and agrees to save each
Purchaser and the Agent harmless from and against any liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or any
omission to pay such taxes and fees.
-4-
(e)
Periodic
fees or other periodic amounts payable hereunder shall be
calculated, unless otherwise specified in the Fee Letters, on the
basis of a 360-day year and for the actual days elapsed.
(f) All
payments to be made hereunder or under the Indenture, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made
without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m.
New York City time on the due date thereof to the Agent’s
account specified in subsection 9.2(b) hereof or directly to the
Purchasers’ accounts if the Agent so instructs the Indenture
Trustee. Payments received after 1:00 p.m. New York City time shall
be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day. In any event,
the Agent shall forward or instruct the Indenture Trustee to
forward to the Purchasers their respective portion of such payments
in immediately available funds for receipt no later than 3:00 p.m.
New York City time on the date received. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if any payment due hereunder becomes due
and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the payment date
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and
in the case of principal, interest shall accrue thereon at the
applicable rate during such extension. To the extent that (i) the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Issuer or the
Servicer makes a payment to the Agent or a Purchaser or (ii) the
Agent or a Purchaser receives or is deemed to have received any
payment or proceeds for application to an obligation, which payment
or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a Indenture Trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law, state or Federal law, common law,
or for equitable cause, then, to the extent such payment or
proceeds are set aside, the obligation or part thereof intended to
be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and
effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received or
deemed received by the Agent or the Purchasers, as the case may
be.
Section
2.4.
Indemnification . (a) Bluegreen (the “
Indemnitor ”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Agent and each Purchaser and any shareholders, members,
directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates thereof, of
the Agent or Purchasers (each such Person being referred to as an
“ Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever
(including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) which
such Indemnitee may incur (or which may be claimed against such
Indemnitee) arising out of, by reason of or in connection with the
execution and delivery of, or payment or other performance under,
or the failure to make payments or perform under, any Transaction
Document or the issuance of the Notes (including in connection with
the preparation for defense of any investigation, litigation or
proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with such
execution, delivery, payment, performance or issuance), except (i)
to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or
expense shall be caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith,
recklessness or gross negligence of, or breach of any
representation or warranty in any Transaction Document by, any
Indemnitee, (ii) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss,
liability, cost or expense is covered or addressed by subsection
2.3(c) or (d) hereof, (iii) to the extent that any such claim,
damage, loss, liability, cost or expense relates to disclosure made
by the Agent or a Purchaser in connection with an Assignment or
Participation pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof which disclosure is
not based on information given to the Agent or such Purchaser by or
on behalf of Bluegreen, or any affiliate thereof or by or on behalf
of the Indenture Trustee or (iv) to the extent that such claim,
damage, loss, liability, cost or expense shall be caused by
any
-5-
default in payment of any
Timeshare Loan. The foregoing indemnity shall include any claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to which any such
Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, or other federal or state law or
regulation arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any disclosure
document relating to the Notes or any amendments thereof or
supplements thereto, in any case, provided or approved by the
Issuer (other than statements provided by the Indemnitee expressly
for inclusion therein) or arising out of, or based upon, the
omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading (other than with respect to statements
provided by the Indemnitee expressly for inclusion
therein).
(b)
Promptly
after the receipt by an Indemnitee of a notice of the commencement
of any action against an Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will notify
the Agent and the Agent will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against an Indemnitor pursuant to subsection 2.4(a) hereof,
notify such Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof; but
the omission so to notify such party will not relieve such party
from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee pursuant to
the preceding paragraph except to the extent the Indemnitor is
prejudiced by such failure. If any such action is brought against
an Indemnitee and it notifies an Indemnitor of its commencement,
such Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent that it so elects by delivering written notice to the
Indemnitee promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of
the action from the Indemnitee to assume the defense of any such
action, with a single counsel mutually satisfactory to such
Indemnitor and each affected Indemnitee. After receipt of such
notice by an Indemnitor from an Indemnitee, such Indemnitor will
not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses
except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of
investigation incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the
defense of such action. Each Indemnitee will have the right to
employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses
and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of the
such Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel by such
Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by such Indemnitor, (ii)
such Indemnitor shall have failed to assume the defense and employ
counsel, (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and
either an Indemnitor or another person or entity that may be
entitled to indemnification from an Indemnitor (by virtue of this
Section 2.4 or otherwise) and such Indemnitee shall have been
advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such Indemnitee which are different from or additional
to those available to an Indemnitor or such other party or shall
otherwise have reasonably determined that the co-representation
would present such counsel with a conflict of interest (in which
case the Indemnitor will not have the right to direct the defense
of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee). In any such case
described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence,
the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel
will be at the expense of the Indemnitor; it being understood that
in no event shall the Indemnitors be liable for the fees,
disbursements and other charges of more than one counsel (in
addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnitees in connection
with any one action or separate but similar or related actions
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An
Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
action, suit or proceeding effected without its written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the
written consent of an Indemnitor or if there shall be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or
-6-
proceeding, such Indemnitor
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee to the extent
set forth in this Agreement from and against any loss, claim,
damage, liability or reasonable expense by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No Indemnitor shall, without the prior
written consent of an Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld),
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, if such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an admission of
