Bluegreen Corporation

Vacation Ownership Interests sold through real-
estate based Bluegreen Vacation Club®

215,400 owners (166,700 in Bluegreen Vacation
Club) at 9/30/09

51 in-network resorts, near “drive to” vacation
destinations and Aruba

Access to 18 Shell Vacations Club Resorts
through “Select Connections” partnership

4


Unique Club Configuration

Bluegreen Vacation Club- ‘Trust’ architecture allows for the
retention of voting rights once inventory is sold, perpetual
management control, and allows for non-judicial foreclosures for
non performing consumer mortgages or assessment fee
obligations.

Members’ ownership is conveyed through a deeded
real estate interest in a specific resort unit
and week which is held in a bankruptcy-remote
trust on the members’ behalf

Members’ ownership is in perpetuity and can be sold,
bequeathed or otherwise conveyed to third parties

Members’ beneficial usage rights consist of an annual or biennial
allotment of vacation points that can be used for varying length
of stays at any of 51 in-network resorts or can be indirectly
exchanged for stays at over 3,700 resorts in over 100 countries
through Resort Condominiums International, LLC (RCI), the
largest vacation ownership exchange company

5


Advantages of Vacation Club

Distribution Channel – Not limited to typical constraints of selling real estate at a
single site location.  Instead, through the Club  any approved inventory can be
sold at most of our sales offices.

Long-term relationship with customer – Our agreement to manage the Club
enables us to  ensure a consistent service experience for our owners  in addition
to providing us with a recurring management fee.

Long-term relationship with resorts – The  property management agreements we
have with homeowners’ associations in  Club resorts  allows us to ensure that
owners receive consistent high quality vacation experiences at all of our resorts.  
Similar to the vacation club  management agreement, our property management
agreements also provide us with a recurring source of cash-based income.

6


Bluegreen Vacation Club Attributes

The typical sales objections regarding inventory mix are reduced by allowing the
sales team to focus on the Club structure and the network of resort opportunities
and not just a single site location.

Based on consumers being geographically diverse, regional credit risk in the
Bluegreen mortgage portfolio is mitigated.

Sales team quality and career paths are enhanced due to continuance of sales
beyond typical sellout.

Timeshare Industry: Impact of Liquidity Crisis

Despite robust sales, most timeshare companies have taken measures to
downsize. Bluegreen was proactively the first amongst the larger entities in the
space to make such changes.

Lack of securitization activity, not lack of consumer demand, has been the
primary driver of  Bluegreen’s actions.

Industry-wide impact, including:

Wyndham

Starwood

Marriott

Bluegreen

14


Goals of Bluegreen’s 2008/2009 Strategic Initiatives

Significantly reduced our timeshare sales operations in an attempt to reduce our
sales pace to our known receivable financing capacity and projected cash sales;

Emphasizing cash-based businesses in our sales, resort management and
finance operations;

Minimizing the cash requirements of Bluegreen Communities;

Reducing overhead and increasing efficiencies;

Minimizing capital spending;

Continuing to provide a high level of quality vacation experiences and customer
service to our VOI owners; and

Generating cash and income.

Bluegreen Communities Strategic Initiatives

Consolidated field operations, thereby eliminating sales, construction and/or administrative
activities at 12 locations.  

Eliminated those advertising programs which we believe have become less effective, and focus
primarily on internet marketing campaigns.

Eliminated over 70% of our sales, marketing, development and administrative associates.

As we have completed development of phases of our communities, development expenditures
in 2009 were materially below expenditures in 2008.

Pursue opportunities to use our core competencies to provide services to third-parties on a fee
basis in the areas of:

asset management

market research

other real estate consulting services

Goal : Strive to operate Bluegreen Communities at a cash break-even or better until market
conditions provide other opportunities.

to 16.13%; by way of comparison, the YTD WAC for similar loans through September

Typical Collection Process - VOI

10 Days – Telephone contact initiated on delinquent accounts when an account is as few as
10 days past due

30 Days – Letter mailed advising the borrower (if a U.S. resident) that if the loan is not brought
current, the delinquency will be reported to the credit reporting agencies (telephone contact
continues)

60 Days – “Lock-out” letter mailed, return receipt requested and regular mail, advising that the
borrower cannot use any accommodations until the delinquency is cured (telephone contact
continues)

90 Days – “Notice of Intent to Cancel Membership” mailed, return receipt requested and
regular mail, which informs the borrower that unless the delinquency is cured within 30 days,
the borrower will forfeit ownership (telephone contact continues)

Approximately 120 Days – Termination letter mailed, return receipt requested and regular
mail, advising the borrower that the owner’s beneficial rights in the Bluegreen Vacation Club
have been terminated

VOI Portfolio Performance

     *  In the event a borrower goes off of pre-authorized checking, the interest rate will increase by 1%.

Unlike floating rate residential mortgage loans (many of which have “teaser” rates),
the monthly payment for Bluegreen’s borrowers does not change over the life of
the loan.*

The average monthly payment (approximately $200) for Bluegreen’s borrowers is
much less than a typical mortgage payment.

The vast majority of Bluegreen’s borrowers are on PAC.

Bluegreen’s collectors have an average of 11.5 years of collections experience.  
Our collections team is incentivized through a performance-based compensation
program.

In addition, Bluegreen implemented FICO® score-based credit requirements on
12/15/08 and further raised such guidelines on 1/1/10.
