Transfer Account, in immediately available funds, the net amount
due from such Lender as set forth in the Lender Advance Report. If
the funds representing such Lender’s amount of the Advance or
Advances in question are not received by Agent within five
(5) business days of the date of such Lender’s receipt
of the Lender Advance Report, Borrower shall immediately, upon
demand of Agent, repay such amount to Agent. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations hereunder or
to prejudice any rights Agent may have against any Lender as a
result of any Lender’s failure to make any Loan or Loans as
provided herein.
2.3
Interest Rate . From and after the Effective Date,
the aggregate principal amount of all Advances, that are
outstanding from time to time, shall bear interest at the Interest
Rate. Each Advance shall bear interest at the Interest Rate as of
the date of Agent’s wiring of funds to Borrower through the
date of Agent’s receipt of repayment of the Loan (if received
by Agent later than 12 noon, Eastern Standard Time, then interest
accrual shall be through the next Business Day following such
receipt). Interest will accrue daily, and shall be payable monthly
in arrears. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the Final Maturity Date (if the Loan is not paid in full
on the Final Maturity Date), at Agent’s election in its sole
discretion, the Loan will bear interest at the Default Rate. Each
Lender’s Loan shall bear interest at the Interest Rate or the
Default Rate as applicable as of the date funds are received by
Agent as provided in Section 2.2(g) through the date of
Agent’s wiring of repayment funds to each Lender in
accordance with Sections 2.2(g) and 2.4(c).
2.4
Payments . From and after the Effective Date,
Borrower agrees punctually to pay or cause to be paid to Agent, as
agent for each Lender all principal and interest due under each
Note in respect of the Loans. Borrower shall make the following
payments on the Loan:
(a)
Monthly Payments . Borrower shall direct or otherwise
cause all makers of all Pledged Notes Receivable to pay all monies
due thereunder to the lockbox established pursuant to the Lockbox
Agreement, or as otherwise required by Agent. One hundred percent
(100%) of the cleared funds collected from the Pledged Notes
Receivable each week will be paid to Agent by the Lockbox Agent
pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, and will be applied by Agent
first to the payment of costs or expenses incurred by Agent
pursuant to this Agreement in creating, maintaining, protecting or
enforcing the Liens in and to the Collateral and in collecting any
amounts due to any Lender in connection with the Loan (“
Collection Costs ”) and the balance to each Lender in
accordance with the applicable percentage of the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan that each Lender has made (the
“ Pro Rata Payment Percentage ”) as
provided in Section 2.6 hereof. Each Lender shall apply each
such payment in the following order: (i) to any interest
accrued at the applicable Default Rate; (ii) then to interest
accrued and payable at the Interest Rate; and (iii) then to
outstanding principal. In the event that the cleared funds received
by Agent are insufficient to pay the amounts described in
aforementioned clauses (i)-(ii), then Borrower shall pay the
difference to
19
Agent on or
before the fifth (5th) day of the following month. In the event
Borrower receives any payments on any of the Pledged Notes
Receivable directly from or on behalf of the maker or makers
thereof, Borrower shall receive all such payments in trust for the
sole and exclusive benefit of Lenders; and Borrower shall deliver
to the Lockbox Agent all such payments (in the form so received by
Borrower) as and when received by Borrower, unless Agent shall have
notified Borrower to deliver directly to Agent all payments in
respect of the Pledged Notes Receivable which may be received by
Borrower, in which event all such payments (in the form received)
shall be endorsed by Borrower to Agent as agent for Lenders and
delivered to Agent promptly upon Borrower’s receipt
thereof.
(b)
Final Payment . The entire outstanding principal
amount of the Loan, together with all other Obligations hereunder,
shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.
(c)
Payments to Lender . Agent may at its sole and
absolute discretion either: (i) promptly upon receipt wire
transfer to any Lender its Pro Rata Percentage of any payment
received from Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.4 or
Section 2.5; or (ii) include any Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage of any payment received from Borrower in accordance with
this Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 in the Lender Advance
Report pursuant to Section 2.2(f)(ii), for transfer to Lender
pursuant to 2.2(g).
(a)
Voluntary Prepayments . Except for regular payments
of interest and principal as provided hereunder, prepayments,
(i) shall not be permitted during the first Loan Year, and
(ii) may be made in whole, but not in part, upon five
(5) days prior written notice to the Agent at any time after
the end of the first Loan Year upon payment of the applicable
Prepayment Premium (whether such prepayment results from voluntary
payments by Borrower, acceleration, or otherwise); provided,
however, that (A) payments or prepayments of Pledged Notes
Receivable made by Purchasers who are not directly or indirectly
solicited by Borrower to make such prepayment shall not violate
this Section 2.5(a), and no Prepayment Premium shall be
payable as a result of any such payment by Purchasers; and
(B) if at any time the Borrower wishes to release any Pledged
Notes Receivable for the purpose of including those Pledged Notes
Receivable in a Securitization pooling or similar conduit
transaction, and after 30 days’ prior written notice to
Agent, Borrower may prepay the principal balance of the Loan in
whole or in part, to the extent necessary to cause the then current
outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan to be equal to or
less than the Borrowing Base, and no Prepayment Premium will be due
where such prepayment is the result of a Securitization closing, as
certified by Borrower to Agent. If Borrower voluntarily prepays the
entire Receivables Loan for any reason other than pursuant to a
Securitization, such prepayment must be accompanied by full payment
of the outstanding balance under the Inventory Loan.
(b)
Mandatory Prepayments .
20
(i) Overadvances. If at any time the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Borrowing
Base or the maximum aggregate Commitment, Borrower shall, within
five (5) Business Days after notice, either (A) prepay the
Loan in an amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan to an amount within the lending limits set
forth in Section 2.2(c), or (B) pledge and deliver to
Lender such additional or replacement Eligible Notes Receivable
such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan
is within the lending limits set forth in
Section 2.2(c).
(ii) Ineligible Pledged Notes Receivable.
If at any time after the expiration of the Revolving Loan Term,
Agent determines that any Pledged Notes Receivable which are
included in the Borrowing Base, do not qualify as Eligible Notes
Receivable (“Ineligible Notes Receivable”), then
Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice,
either (A) prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the balance
due under such Pledged Note Receivable, or (B) replace the
Ineligible Note Receivable with an Eligible Note Receivable having
an outstanding aggregate principal balance equal to or in excess of
the outstanding principal balance of such Ineligible Note
Receivable. The pledge and delivery to Agent as agent for Lenders
of additional Eligible Notes Receivable shall comply with the
document delivery and recordation requirements set forth in
Section 5.1 of this Agreement.
(iii) No
Prepayment Premium. No Prepayment Premium shall be due in
connection with any mandatory prepayment made in accordance with
Sections 2.5(b)(i) or 2.5(b)(ii) above.
(c)
Prepayment Premium . Except as specifically set forth
in Section 2.5(a), above, any prepayment of the Loan pursuant
to Section 2.5(a) above must be accompanied by a prepayment
premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) calculated, as of
immediately prior to such prepayment, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Premium
|
|
|
|
|
During the
second Loan Year;
|
|
three percent
(3%) of the then outstanding balance of the Loan;
|
|
|
|
|
During the
third Loan Year;
|
|
two percent
(2%) of the then outstanding balance of the Loan;
|
|
|
|
|
During the
fourth Loan Year
|
|
one percent
(1%) of the then outstanding balance of the Loan;
|
|
|
|
Zero
|
21
(d)
Prepayment Premium upon Acceleration . If the Loan is
accelerated based on an Event of Default prior to the expiration of
the first Loan Year, or if Borrower undertakes a voluntary
prepayment prior to expiration of the first Loan Year, at
Agent’s sole discretion, payments on the Loan must include
the Prepayment Premium that would be applicable if prepayment
occurred in the second Loan Year.
2.6
Pro Rata Treatment . Each repayment of principal and
interest shall be allocated among Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Payment Percentage. Each Lender agrees that in
computing such Lender’s portion of any Advance to be made
hereunder, Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s
such Advance to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. If
any Lender shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s
lien, set-off, counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment with
respect to its Loans which results in its receiving more than its
Pro Rata Payment Percentage of any payments described above, then
(A) such Lender shall be deemed to have simultaneously
purchased from each of the other Lenders a share in such other
Lender’s Loans so that the amount of the Loans of all Lenders
shall be pro rata as otherwise set forth above, (B) such
Lender shall immediately pay to the other Lenders their Pro Rata
Payment Percentage of the payments otherwise received as
consideration for such purchase and (C) such other adjustments
shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to insure
that all Lenders share such payments ratably. If all or any portion
of any such excess payment is thereafter recovered from Lender
which received the same, the purchase provided in this
Section 2.6 shall be deemed to have been rescinded to the
extent of such recovery, without interest. Borrower expressly
consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that each Lender
so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s loans may
exercise all rights of payment (including all rights of set-off,
banker’s lien or counterclaim) with respect to such portion
as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such
portion.
2.7
Maximum Obligation of Textron Financial Corporation Under the
Loan and the Inventory Loan . 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 Inventory Loan, TFC, as a Lender, shall not be
obligated to fund any Advance hereunder, which when taken together
with the loans or advances made by TFC to Borrower under this
Agreement and the Inventory Loan, would cause the aggregate amount
of such loans and advances by TFC to Borrower to exceed a maximum
aggregate amount of $71,000,000.00.
2.8
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 Agent and Lenders hereunder,
then, in such event, Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to
make any Advances hereunder: (i) in respect of Pledged Notes
Receivable from the sale 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 Agent and (ii) in respect of Pledged Notes
Receivable from the sale of
22
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 Agent within sixty (60) days of its
issuance and (y) there is a reduction in the total number of
sales of Intervals by 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.
(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 2.10(b) hereto, Lender shall have no obligation to
make any Advances hereunder, unless within thirty (30) days
prior thereto Borrower provides Agent with written information
setting forth the replacement executive management personnel of
Borrower together with a description of those Persons’
experience, ability and reputation, and Agent, 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 2.10(b). Agent 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 Borrower’s bond holders.
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
Agent, as agent for each Lender:
(a)
a first priority security interest in the Eligible Notes Receivable
pledged to Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided herein, the
Mortgages with respect thereto and that portion of the other
Collateral related thereto;
(b)
a second priority security interest in all collateral under the
Inventory Loan, subject only to the security interest securing the
Inventory Loan;
(c)
a subordinate security interest in the Silverleaf Finance II Stock
and the Silverleaf Finance II Subordinated Note of equal priority
with the security interest securing the Existing Inventory Loan;
and
(d)
a first or second priority security interest as applicable in all
books, records, reports, computer tapes, disks and software
relating to the Collateral and all extensions, additions,
improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements
of, for or to any of the Collateral, wherever located, together
with the products, proceeds, issues, rents and profits thereof, and
any replacements, additions or accessions thereto or substitutions
thereof.
To
further secure the payment and performance of the Obligations,
Borrower shall also execute and deliver to Agent, as agent for each
Lender, the modifications to the Inventory Mortgages granting
Agent, as agent for each Lender, first priority mortgage liens on
the Intervals.
23
For
convenience of administration, Agent is acting as agent for Lenders
under the Agreement. Agent, as such agent, may execute any of its
duties hereunder by or through its agents, officers or employees
and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel as to its
duties. Agent, as such agent, shall not be liable to Lenders for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and
shall neither be responsible to Lenders for the consequences of any
oversight or error of judgment nor be answerable to Lenders for any
loss unless the same shall happen through Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that Agent, as such
agent, shall not be reimbursed by Borrower for any costs,
liabilities or expenses incurred in such capacity, Lenders shall
reimburse Agent therefor pro rata in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Percentages (including Agent as one of Lenders
for this purpose). Each Lender agrees that Agent shall be entitled
to take and shall only be required to take, any action which it is
permitted to take under this Agreement.
3.2
Financing Statements . Borrower agrees, at its own
expense, to execute the financing statements, continuation
statements and amendments 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 Agent’s security interests in the Collateral. Borrower
hereby authorizes Agent to execute and/or file on Borrower’s
behalf any such financing statements, continuation statements and
amendments.
3.3
Priority of Each Lender’s Liens . Each Lender
shall have an equal security interest in the Collateral based upon
its Pro Rata Percentage and no Lender’s security interest in
the Collateral shall have priority over any other Lender’s
security interest in the Collateral, except where TFC, as a secured
party pursuant to another security agreement may have a security
interest in the Collateral, which is distinct from Agent’s
security interest in the Collateral as a Lender under this
Agreement.
3.4
Insurance . Insurance coverage with respect to the
Resort(s) is provided by the Silverleaf Club. Borrower shall
furnish Agent, upon request, with satisfactory evidence that the
Units, Buildings and Resorts are adequately insured. Such insurance
coverage shall insure against such risks, be in such amounts, with
such companies and on such other terms as Agent may reasonably
require. Each such policy shall name Agent as an additional insured
and loss payee as agent for Lenders, as their respective interests
may appear.
3.5
Protection of Collateral; Reimbursement . The portion
of the Collateral consisting of: (i) the original Pledged
Notes Receivable, (ii) the original Mortgages, (iii) the
original purchase contracts (including addendum) related to such
Pledged Notes Receivable and Mortgages, and (iv) originals or
true copies of the related truth-in-lending disclosure, loan
application, warranty deed, and if required by Agent, the related
Purchaser’s acknowledgement receipt and the Exchange Company
application and disclosures, shall be delivered at Borrower’s
expense to the Custodian, and held in Custodian’s possession
and control pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. All fees and costs
arising under the Custodial Agreement shall be borne and paid by
Borrower; and if Borrower fails to promptly pay any portion thereof
when due, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to,
pay the same and charge Borrower’s account therefor, and
Borrower agrees promptly to reimburse Agent therefor with interest
accruing thereon daily at the Default Rate. All sums so paid or
incurred by Agent for any of the foregoing and any and all other
sums for which Borrower may become liable hereunder and
all
24
costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees,
legal expenses and court costs) which Agent may incur in enforcing
or protecting its Lien on, or rights and interest in, the
Collateral or any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or with respect to any of the transactions
hereunder or thereunder, until paid by Borrower to Agent with
interest at the Default Rate, shall be included among the
Obligations, and, as such, shall be secured by all of the
Collateral. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for
the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage
thereto or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act
or default of the Custodian, Lockbox Agent, or Servicing Agent or
any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person
whomsoever.
3.6
Additional Eligible Resorts . From time to time
during the Term, Borrower may propose to Agent that one or more
additional time-share plans and projects owned and operated by
Borrower be included among the Eligible Resorts in respect of which
Advances may be made. 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 4.4 hereto, and such other
information as Agent may require. Borrower will reasonably
cooperate with Agent’s underwriting and due diligence, and
Borrower will be responsible for payment upon billing for
Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
Subject to Agent’s 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, Agent 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
qualifying for Advances under and subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Subject
in each instance to Agent’s underwriting and due diligence
review, and Agent’s prior written approval, any project as
may be approved by Agent and Lenders after the Closing Date, if
any, is hereinafter referred to as an “Additional Eligible
Resort”. Any Advances hereunder with respect to any
Additional Eligible Resort will be subject to all terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
3.7
Modification of Eligible Notes Receivable .
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall
have the right to modify the interest rate and term only of the
Eligible Notes Receivable without Agent’s prior consent,
provided that: (i) any such change in the rate of interest on
any one or more Eligible Notes Receivable shall not reduce the
average interest rate on all Eligible Notes Receivable to less than
twelve and one half percent (12 1 / 2
%) per annum at any time;
(ii) the term of no Eligible Notes Receivable shall be
increased to a term longer than one hundred twenty
(120) months from the date of the first required monthly
payment of such Eligible Note Receivable, except that with respect
to any Eligible Note Receivable in respect of which one or more
monthly payments have been deferred, the term of such Eligible Note
Receivable may be extended one month for each such deferred payment
provided, however, that in no event shall the term of such Eligible
Note Receivable be increased to a term longer than one hundred
twenty eight (128) months from the date of the first required
monthly payment of such Eligible Note Receivable; (iii) at no
time may Borrower so modify the terms of Eligible Notes Receivable
constituting more than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding
principal balance of all Eligible Notes Receivable at any time.
Solely for purposes of calculating the foregoing fifteen percent
(15%) limit, an Eligible Note Receivable shall not be considered
“to have been modified” if the Purchaser in respect of
such note: (y) has made at least
25
a ten percent
(10%) down payment on the Interval and (z) has made at least
six (6) monthly payments, with at least four (4) payments
being made after the date the note was modified; (iv) Borrower
immediately provides Agent with notice of any such modification
together with any original documentation evidencing such
modification and (v) no Eligible Note Receivable is modified
more than once in any twelve (12) month period or more than
twice during the term of such Eligible Note Receivable.
3.8
Assumption of Obligations under Eligible Notes
Receivable . Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, upon the sale by a Purchaser of an Interval, the new
Purchaser of the Interval may be substituted as obligor under the
Eligible Note Receivable in question, provided that: (i) said
new Purchaser assumes in writing all of the obligations of the
original obligor under the Eligible Note Receivable in question;
(ii) the Eligible Note Receivable continues to meet all of the
criteria for an Eligible Note Receivable as set forth herein and
(iii) the new Purchaser has made a cash down payment equal to
at least 10% of the original sales price of the Interval in
question, which down payment shall be in addition to the cash down
payment made by the original obligor.
3.9
Purchaser/Criteria . All Eligible Notes Receivable
pledged as Collateral to Agent subsequent to the Effective Date
will be underwritten in a manner consistent with the
Borrower’s general underwriting criteria, as approved in
writing by Agent, including, without limitation: (i) the
requirement that a majority of sales shall be made to Purchasers
with minimum annual income as follows: $35,000 for purchasers
residing in the state of Texas, $40,000 for purchasers residing in
the state of Illinois, and $45,000 for purchasers residing in the
state of Massachusetts, (ii) the requirement for a cash down
payment of at least 15% of the sales price of the Interval for any
Purchaser with a FICO score less than 600, and (iii) the
requirement that the weighted average FICO Credit Bureau Scores of
all Purchasers with respect to which a FICO score can be obtained
be not less than 640, provided that the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of Eligible Notes Receivable pledged to Agent
with respect to which a FICO score can not be obtained, does not
exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Eligible Notes Receivable pledged to Agent. Borrower
shall not materially alter its general underwriting criteria
without the prior written approval of Agent, which approval, Agent
may withhold in its sole discretion. On a semi-annual basis,
Borrower shall provide Agent with written certification that the
underwriting criteria as approved by Agent remain in full force and
effect and have not been revised or altered without Agent’s
consent.
3.10
Cross Collateralization . The Collateral also secures
the Obligations of Borrower under the Inventory Loan. Upon
repayment of this Loan and the satisfaction by Borrower of all of
the Obligations under this Loan, the Collateral shall continue to
secure the Inventory Loan as provided in the documents evidencing
and securing the Inventory Loan.

Submissions, Agent shall have the right to require Borrower either
to cure or correct the defect objected to by Agent or to elect not
