of the breaking of any LIBOR contract and/or (v) any other set of circumstances

not attributable to Lender's acts. Payment of Funding Losses hereunder shall be

in addition to any obligation to pay any other amounts due and owing under this

Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

 

                  (b)       Conversion to Interest Rate Based on Prime Rate. If

Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon

Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that dollar deposits in an amount

approximately equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan are

not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits

in Eurodollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will

not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining the Interest

Rate based on LIBOR, or of funding the same in such market for such Interest

Accrual Period, due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market

generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, (iv)

that the Interest Rate based on LIBOR would be in excess of the maximum interest

rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, or (v) any LIBOR

contract is broken as a result of the sale in bulk of Inventory relating to the

Resorts by Borrower, Lender shall so notify Borrower and, as of the date of such

notification with respect to an event described in clauses (ii), (iv) or (v)

above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Period with respect

to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, interest shall accrue at a

rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per

annum interest rate is approximately equal to what the rate would have been

based on LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum, which new

rate shall apply until such time as the situations described above are no longer

in effect, or as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, if the situation

described in clause (ii) above occurs, (x) Borrower shall have the option, to be

exercised by written notice to Lender, to pay to Lender (in the manner

reasonably required by Lender) for such increased cost of maintaining the

Interest Rate based on LIBOR, and (y) if the same only affects a portion of the

Loan, then only such portion shall have interest accrue at a rate equal to the

Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per annum interest

rate is approximately equal to what the rate would have been based on LIBOR plus

three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum, and interest shall continue to

accrue on the remaining portion at the Interest Rate based on LIBOR.

 

                                       19

<PAGE>

 

                  (c)       Back-Up Interest Rate Based on Prime Rate. If the

introduction of, or any change in, any law, regulation or treaty, or in the

interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the

administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to

maintain the Interest Rate based on LIBOR with respect to the Loan, or any

portion thereof, or to fund the Loan, or any portion thereof, in Eurodollars in

the London Interbank Market, then, (i) the Loan (or such portion of the Loan)

shall, with respect to Lender, thereafter bear interest shall accrue at a rate

equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per annum

interest rate is approximately equal to what the rate would have been based on

LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) per annum (unless the Default

Rate shall be applicable), and (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of

Funding Losses (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. The accrual

of interest shall accrue at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient

spread so that the resulting per annum interest rate is approximately equal to

what the rate would have been based on LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent

(3.25%) per annum, which new rate shall continue until such date, if any, as the

situation described in this Section (c) is no longer in effect.

 

                   (d)       Capital Adequacy Events, Etc. If Lender shall have

determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline

adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle

Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled

"International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the

adoption of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline (including, but not

limited to, any United States law, rule, regulation or guideline) regarding

capital adequacy, or any change becoming effective in any of the foregoing or in

the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by

any court or any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or

comparable agency charged with the enforcement or interpretation or

administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive

regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such

authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of

reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or Lender's holding

company, as the case may be, to a level below that which Lender or its holding

company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such applicability,

adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's or its

holding company, as the case may be, policies with respect to capital adequacy)

(the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as "CAPITAL ADEQUACY EVENTS"),

then, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender on behalf of any such

Lender, from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate

Lender for any such reduction suffered.

 

                  (e)       Payment of Amounts Due under Section 2.5. Any amount

payable by Borrower under Section (a) or (d) hereof shall be paid to Lender

within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an

officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the

determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding

upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand

payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period

shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount

for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to

deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in Section (a) or (d)

hereof and of the amount to be paid under this Section (e) as a result thereof;

provided, however, any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect

Borrower's obligation to make the payments to be made under this Section (e) as

a result thereof. All

 

                                       20

amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the

provisions of this Section (e) shall constitute additional interest hereunder

and shall be secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents."

 

         2.6       COMMITMENT FEE.

 

                   (a)       EXISTING INVENTORY LOAN COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower

acknowledges and agrees that a Commitment Fee of $100,000 was due and payable

exclusively to Lender in connection with the Existing Inventory Loan and Lender

acknowledges receipt and payment of such Commitment Fee.

 

                  (b)       NEW INVENTORY LOAN COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower

acknowledges and agrees that a Commitment Fee of $80,000 shall be due and

payable exclusively to Lender in connection with the New Inventory Loan, and

that such Commitment shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on the date of the

initial Advance of the New Inventory Loan.

 

         2.7       LOAN TERM. The term of the Loan shall terminate on March 31,

2007.

 

         2.8       MAXIMUM OBLIGATION OF LENDER UNDER THE LOAN, THE EXISTING

CREDIT FACILITY AND THE ADDITIONAL CREDIT FACILITY. Borrower acknowledges,

agrees and confirms that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any

other Loan Document or in any document evidencing or securing the Existing

Inventory Loan, the New Inventory Loan, the Existing Credit Facilities or the

Additional Credit Facility, Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance

hereunder, which when taken together with the Loans or Advances made by Lender,

on its own behalf as Lender (and as opposed to Advances required to be made by

Lender's participants and co-lenders under the Existing Credit Facilities), to

the Borrower under this Agreement, the Original Loan Agreement, the Existing

Credit Facilities and the Additional Credit Facility, would cause the aggregate

amount of such Loans and Advances by Lender, on its own behalf, to Borrower to

exceed a maximum aggregate amount of: (i) prior to August 31, 2004-$56,996,300

and (ii) after August 31,2004 and prior to the Final Maturity Date-$54,996,300.

 

         2.9       SUSPENSION OF ADVANCES.

 

                  (a)       Suspension of Sales. If any stay, order, cease and

desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or

nonjudicial sanction shall be issued limiting or otherwise materially adversely

affecting any Interval sales activities, other business operations in respect of

the Resorts, or the enforcement of the remedies of the Lender hereunder, then,

in such event, the Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advances

hereunder: (i) in respect of Intervals which are the subject of any stay, order,

cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar

judicial or nonjudicial sanction has been issued until the stay, order, cease

and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar judicial or

nonjudicial sanction has been lifted or released to the satisfaction of the

Lender and (ii) in respect of Intervals at any Resort if: (x) the stay, order,

cease and desist order, injunction, temporary restraining order or similar

judicial or nonjudicial sanction in question has not been lifted or released to

the satisfaction of the Lender within sixty (60) days of its issuance and (y)

there is a reduction in the total number of sales of Intervals by the Borrower

in any Loan Year of more than twenty percent (20%) from the total number of

sales of Intervals in the immediately preceding Loan Year.

 

                                       21

<PAGE>

 

                  (b)       Change in Control. If there shall occur a change,

singly or in the aggregate, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the executive

management of Borrower as described in Schedule 2.9(b) hereto, Lender shall have

no obligation to make any Advances hereunder, unless within thirty (30) days

prior thereto Borrower provides Lender with written information setting forth

the replacement executive management personnel of Borrower together with a

description of those Persons' experience, ability and reputation, and Lender,

acting in good faith, determines that the replacement management personnel's

experience, ability and reputation is equal to or greater than that of Borrower

as set forth on Schedule 2.9(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the makeup of

the Borrower's Board of Directors may be altered in accordance with the Bond

Holder Exchange Documents, provided that Lender shall have no obligation to make

any Advances hereunder if more than two (2) of the five (5) Board of Directors'

positions are controlled by the Bond Holders.

 

                  (c)       Failure to Adhere to Business Plan/Default or Event

of Default. Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance hereunder if: (i)

Borrower shall fail to substantially adhere to the Business Plan (including the

Senior Lender Advance Schedule) as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute

discretion or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing.

 

         2.10      RELEASE OF INTERVALS FROM INVENTORY. Upon written request of

the Borrower, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing hereunder, Lender shall release from the Collateral, one or more

Intervals subject to the following conditions: (i) payment by Borrower to Lender

at the time of such release of the Release Price for each such Interval and (ii)

the remaining Collateral satisfies the Required Retail Value.

 

         2.11      LIMITATIONS ON ADVANCES WITH RESPECT TO OAK N' SPRUCE RESORT.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lender shall be under no

obligation to make Advances in respect of Intervals from Oak N' Spruce Resort if

any such Advance, together with any prior Advances made under this Loan

Agreement, the Original Loan Agreement, the Additional Credit Facility and/or

the Existing Credit Facilities, would exceed, in the aggregate, $32,000,000.00,

subject to Section 4.5(c)(xvi).

 

               SECTION 3 -- COLLATERAL GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

         3.1       GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and

performance of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower unconditionally and

irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants to Lender a continuing first priority

security interest in and to the Collateral (other than as set forth below). To

further secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower shall

also execute and deliver to Lender: (i) the Land Mortgages, granting Lender a

first priority mortgage lien on the Land and (ii) the Additional Resort

Collateral Mortgages granting Lender a first priority mortgage lien on that

portion of the Additional Resort Collateral consisting of real property. To

further secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower shall

further execute and deliver to Lender: (1) the Additional Resort Collateral

Assignments granting Lender a first priority security interest on that portion

of the Additional Resort Collateral consisting of personal property; (2) the

Stock Pledge Agreement granting Lender a first priority security interest in the

Silverleaf Finance I, Inc. Stock; (3) the Amended Standby Management Agreement

Assignment, assigning to Lender, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in

the

 

                                       22

<PAGE>

 

Amended Standby Management Agreement; and (4) the Silverleaf Finance II Stock

and Subordinated Note Pledge Agreement granting Lender a junior and subordinate

security interest in the Silverleaf Finance II Stock and the Silverleaf Finance

II Subordinated Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPV

Subordination Agreement.

 

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower acknowledges

and agrees as follows:

 

         The Loan shall be secured by:

 

         (i)       a first priority security interest in the Inventory;

 

         (ii)      a second priority security interest in the Silverleaf Finance

                  I, Inc. Stock and the Additional Resort Collateral, subject

                  only to the first priority security interest securing the Term

                  Loan Component of the Additional Credit Facility and the

                  Existing Credit Facilities and a subordinate security interest

                  in the Silverleaf Finance II Stock and the Silverleaf Finance

                  II Subordinated Note subject to the security interest securing

                  the Term Loan Component of the Additional Credit Facility and

                  the Existing Credit Facilities and subject to the terms and

                  conditions set forth in the SPV Subordination Agreement; and

 

         (iii)     a second priority security interest in all Notes Receivable

                  and the Ineligible Note Portfolio and the mortgages securing

                  the same, subject only to the first priority security interest

                  securing the revolving loan component of the Additional Credit

                  Facility, the Existing Credit Facilities and the Sovereign

                  Facility.

 

         In addition to the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges, agrees and

confirms that the security interest granted to Lender, in all other Collateral

to secure the Loan, including the Land, the Standby Management Agreement and the

other collateral securing the Sovereign Facility, the Additional Credit Facility

and the Existing Credit Facilities shall be equal in priority as between the

Loan, the Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities and,

with respect to the collateral securing the Sovereign Facility, the Additional

Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities, subject only to the security

interests securing such facilities. For purposes hereof, the reference to

"collateral securing the Sovereign Facility" shall mean the Notes Receivable and

related mortgages exclusively assigned to Sovereign in connection with an

advance under its loan documents.

 

         3.2       FINANCING STATEMENTS. Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to

execute the financing statements provided for by the Code together with any and

all other instruments or documents and take such other action as may be required

to perfect and to continue the perfection of Lender's security interests in the

Collateral and, unless prohibited by law, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to

execute and file any such financing statements on the Borrower's behalf.

 

         3.3       INSURANCE. Borrower shall maintain insurance coverage on the

Resorts and the Collateral in accordance with Section 7.1(d) hereof.

 

                                       23

<PAGE>

 

         3.4       SUBSTITUTION OF INVENTORY. Lender agrees that Borrower may,

from time to time during the Term hereof, replace any Interval or Intervals by

granting to Lender a first mortgage Lien on a new Interval or Intervals owned by

the Borrower at an Eligible Resort. In granting to Lender a first mortgage Lien

on any such new Interval or Intervals, Borrower shall comply with the document

delivery and recordation requirements set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement

and Borrower shall deliver to Lender its written certification that the Retail

Value of the Inventory after any such substitution, is equal to or greater than

the Required Retail Value and satisfies the Loan to Value Ratio. In connection

with any such replacement of Inventory under this Section 3.4 or Section 2.4(b)

hereof, Borrower may propose to Lender that one or more additional time-share

plans and projects owned and operated by Borrower be included among the Eligible

Resorts . Any such proposal will be in writing, and will be accompanied or

supported by the due diligence and supporting Borrower, Affiliate, project,

financial and related information identified in Section 4 hereto, and such other

information as Lender may require. Borrower will reasonably cooperate with

Lender's underwriting and due diligence, and Borrower will be responsible for

payment upon billing for Lender's out-of-pocket expenses in connection

therewith. Subject to Lender's satisfactory underwriting and due diligence

review, including satisfaction of the conditions in Section 4 and Section 5

hereof as they relate to such additional time-share resorts, Lender may, but

shall not be required to, approve one or more such additional time-share

resorts, including future phases or condominiums in an Existing Eligible Resort,

as an Eligible Resort. Subject in each instance to Lender's acceptable

underwriting and due diligence review, and Lender's prior written approval, any

project as may be approved by Lender after the Closing Date, if any, is

hereinafter referred to singly as an "ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE RESORT" and

collectively as the "ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE RESORTS."

 

         3.5       CROSS COLLATERALIZATION. The Collateral also secures the

Obligations of Borrower under the Additional Credit Facility and the Existing

Credit Facilities. Upon repayment of this Loan and the satisfaction by Borrower

of all of the Obligations, the Collateral shall continue to secure the

Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities, as provided in

the documents evidencing and securing the Additional Credit Facility and the

Existing Credit Facilities. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that upon

repayment in full of the Sovereign Facility, Lender's security interest in the

collateral securing such facility shall automatically become a first priority

security interest for securing the Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under

the Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities and Borrower

shall take such steps as Lender may request to deliver such collateral to Lender

and to confirm Lender's first priority security interest therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) when the term loan component of the

Additional Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facilities and the Loan are

paid in full, the Additional Resort Collateral shall be released from the Lien

of the security interest granted to Lender hereunder provided: (i) an Event of

Default has not occurred; and (ii) the Additional Resort Collateral is also

released from any lien granted to Sovereign pursuant to the Sovereign Documents;

and (b) when both the term loan component of the Additional Credit Facility and

the Existing Credit Facilities and the Loan are paid in full, the Silverleaf

Finance I, Inc., Stock shall be released from the Lien of the security interest

granted to Lender hereunder provided: (i) an Event of Default has not occurred;

and (ii) the Silverleaf Finance I, Inc., Stock is also released from any lien

granted to Sovereign pursuant to Sovereign Documents; (c) when the Term Loan

Component, the Revolving Loan Component and the Loan are paid in full, the

Silverleaf Finance II Stock and the Silverleaf Finance II Subordinated Note

shall be released from the Lien of the security interest granted to Lender

hereunder provided: (i)

 

                                       24

<PAGE>

 

an Event of Default has not occurred; and (ii) the Silverleaf Finance II Stock

and the Silverleaf Finance II Subordinated Note are also released from any lien

granted to Sovereign pursuant to the Sovereign Documents.

 

         3.6       INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

         3.7       SECURITY INTEREST IN ALL PLEDGED NOTES RECEIVABLE. Lender

shall have a continuing security interest in all of the Pledged Notes

Receivable, including all Notes Receivable in the Ineligible Note Portfolio and

any Notes Receivable pledged to Sovereign and Lender may collect all payments

made under or in respect of all such Notes Receivable, including, without

limitation, Eligible Notes Receivable that are or may become ineligible, until

any of the same may be released by Lender, if at all, pursuant to Section 12.10

of the Tranche A Loan Agreement or Section 7.2(a) below. Notwithstanding

anything heretofore to the contrary, unless and until an Event of Default shall

occur, Borrower, as agent for and on behalf of Lender, shall retain possession

of and collect all payments under or in respect of all Notes Receivable in the

Ineligible Note Portfolio. By executing this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges

and agrees that it is holding such Notes Receivable as bailee and agent for

Lender. Borrower shall hold and designate such Notes Receivable in a manner that

clearly indicates that they are being held by Borrower as bailee on behalf of

Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall promptly

deliver to Lender, for itself and as agent for Sovereign, all original Notes

Receivable comprising the Ineligible Note Portfolio and to the extent not

previously delivered to Lender, the documents listed in Section 5.1(b) of the

Tranche A Loan Agreement and with respect thereto and after such Event of

Default Lender shall have the right to collect all proceeds therefrom and apply

the same to payment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.3(a) hereof.

 

         To perfect the security interest of Lender in the Ineligible Note

Portfolio, Borrower agrees, subject to Lender's prior approval, to execute and

cause to be filed, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, UCC-1 financing

statement(s) with the appropriate state and local governmental authorities as

requested by Lender. Borrower also shall execute and deliver in escrow to

Lender, for itself and as agent on behalf of Sovereign, an assignment of

Mortgages (the "ASSIGNMENT(S) OF MORTGAGES") and as approved by Lender and

Sovereign at their sole and absolute discretion, assigning equally to Lender and

Sovereign all of Borrower's rights, title and interests in each and all of the

Mortgages relating to the Notes Receivable in the Ineligible Note Portfolio.

Borrower further agrees to promptly execute and deliver modifications or

additional Assignments of Mortgages requested by Lender and Sovereign in order

to continue the security interests of Lender and Sovereign in the Ineligible

Note Portfolio. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon an Event of Default,

Lender, or a designee as designated by Lender and Sovereign pursuant to the

terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right to automatically

record, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, all such Assignments of Mortgages

executed by Borrower and delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms of

this Section 3.7.

 

                SECTION 4 -- CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE CLOSING

 

         4.1       CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The obligation of Lender to enter into

shall have been fully complied with and performed to the satisfaction of Lender.

of all of the items specified in Section 4.1(d)(i) through (vi) below (the

"SUBMISSIONS"). Lender shall have the right to review and approve any changes to

the form of any of the Submissions. If Lender disapproves of any changes to any

of the Submissions, Lender shall have the right to require Borrower either to

cure or correct the defect objected to by Lender or to elect not to fund the

Loan or any Advance. Under no circumstances shall Lender's failure to approve or

disapprove a change to any of the Submissions be deemed to be an approval of

such Submissions. All of the Submissions were and shall be prepared at

Borrower's sole cost and expense, unless expressly stated to be an obligation

and expense of Lender. Lender shall have the right of prior approval of any
