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:

 

 

 

Date of Prepayment

 

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;

 
Thereafter

 

 
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.

Section 3-Collateral

          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.
