Law, Etc. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to

sustained by Lender: (i) if the Loan,
or any portion hereof, is prepaid for any
reason whatsoever on any date other
than the Final Maturity Date (including,
without limitation, from condemnation
or insurance proceeds); (ii) upon the
conversion of the interest rate on the
Loan to an interest rate based on the Prime
Rate in accordance with Section (b)
hereof; (iii) as a consequence of the
reduction of any amounts received or
receivable from Borrower, in either case,
due to the introduction of, or any
change in, law or applicable regulation or
treaty (including the administration
or interpretation thereof), whether or not
having the force of law, or due to
the compliance by Lender with any
directive, whether or not having the force of
law, or request from any central bank or
domestic or foreign governmental
authority, agency or instrumentality having
jurisdiction; (iv) as a consequence
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
<PAGE>
amounts which may become due and payable by
Borrower in accordance with the
provisions of this Section (e) shall
constitute additional interest hereunder

the other Loan Documents."

the Borrower under this Agreement, the

restraining order or similar judicial or
nonjudicial sanction shall be issued
limiting or otherwise materially adversely

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the makeup of
the Borrower's Board of Directors may be
altered in accordance with the Bond

of the five (5) Board of Directors'
positions are controlled by the Bond
Holders.
(c) Failure to
Adhere to Business Plan/Default or Event

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

3.1 GRANT OF
SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and
performance of the Obligations, for value
received, Borrower unconditionally and

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

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

granting Lender a junior and subordinate
security interest in the Silverleaf Finance

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

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

Facility, the Existing Credit Facilities and the Sovereign

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

INTEREST IN ALL PLEDGED NOTES RECEIVABLE. Lender
shall have a continuing security interest

in the Ineligible Note Portfolio and
any Notes Receivable pledged to Sovereign

are or may become ineligible, until
any of the same may be released by Lender,
if at all, pursuant to Section 12.10

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

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

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.
