SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
(Hypothecation Facility)
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (together with the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, collectively, this “Agreement”) is made as of September 28, 2017 by and between BLUEGREEN/BIG CEDAR VACATIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) and ZB, N.A. DBA NATIONAL BANK OF ARIZONA, a national banking association (“Lender”).
BACKGROUND
A.The Bluegreen Vacation Club (the “Vacation Club”) is a multi-site timeshare plan established by Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. pursuant to the Vacation Club Trust Agreement and entitles Purchasers who become Owner Beneficiaries under the Vacation Club Trust Agreement to use any component site within the Vacation Club, subject to the Vacation Club Trust Agreement and the rules and regulations governing such occupancy, including, without limitation, its reservation procedures.
B.Borrower is the developer of the Long Creek Project, the Big Cedar Project and the Paradise Point Project. In addition to other component site resorts, each of the Long Creek Project, the Big Cedar Project and the Paradise Point Project are component site resorts within the Bluegreen Vacation Club.
C.When a Purchaser purchases a Timeshare Interest in any of the Timeshare Projects, the purchased Timeshare Interest is conveyed by the Borrower to the Vacation Club Trustee at the Purchaser's direction as set forth in the Purchase Contract to be held under the terms of the Vacation Club Trust Agreement. The Purchaser thereby is designated an Owner Beneficiary and receives Owner Beneficiary Rights and appurtenant Vacation Points and is entitled to all the benefits accruing to Owner Beneficiaries under the Vacation Club Trust Agreement.
D.If the Borrower provides purchase money financing to the Purchaser, the Vacation Club Trustee (as the title holder of the purchased Timeshare Interest), at the direction of the Purchaser, executes the Purchaser Mortgage in favor of the Borrower to secure such financing. To the extent that the Purchaser Mortgage is assigned to Lender in consideration for an Advance, the Lender becomes an Interest Holder Beneficiary under the Vacation Club Trust Agreement and is thereby entitled to all of the benefits accruing under the Vacation Club Trust Agreement to Interest Holder Beneficiaries.

E. Borrower and Lender entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2010, which was amended pursuant to various amendments and letter agreements, and which was amended and restated in its entirety by that certain First Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (Hypothecation Facility), dated as of June 30, 2015, which was further amended by that certain (i) Letter Agreement (containing the subject line “Note Receivable Loan Advances”) dated September 22, 2016, and (ii) Letter Agreement (containing the subject line

At the time of the execution of the First A&R Loan Agreement, Lender was operating under the name “National Bank of Arizona”. As a result of a charter consolidation which occurred on December 31, 2015, Lender is now operating under the name “ZB, N.A. dba National Bank of Arizona”. |
|
E. In addition to the foregoing Loan, Borrower and Lender are parties to another loan transaction, the purpose of which is to provide Borrower with an inventory loan facility in the aggregate amount of up to $20,000,000 (such inventory loan transaction is sometimes referred to as the “Inventory Loan”). |

|
G. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Lender and Borrower desire to amend and restate the First A&R Loan Agreement in order to, inter alia, (i) retain Tranche E and Tranche F (as each are hereinafter defined), (ii) set forth the terms and conditions under which the proceeds of Tranche F will be advanced, and (iii) extend the Borrowing Term and the Maturity Date. |
|
H. This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the First A&R Loan Agreement, and upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by all parties thereto, this Agreement shall become effective and the First A&R Loan Agreement shall be of no further force or effect. |

2.LOAN COMMITMENT; USE OF PROCEEDS
(a)Determination of Advance Amounts. Lender hereby agrees, if Borrower has Performed all of the Obligations then due, to make Advances to Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the purposes specified in Section 2.3. The maximum amount of an Advance shall be equal to (a) the aggregate Borrowing Base for all Eligible Notes Receivable less (b) the then unpaid principal balance of the Loan; provided, however, at no time shall the unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceed the Maximum Loan Amount, and further provided that at no time shall the combined unpaid principal balance of the Loan and the Inventory Loan exceed the Maximum Combined Loan Amount. Furthermore, Lender hereby agrees, if Borrower has Performed all the Obligations then due, to make Availability Advances to Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the purposes specified in Section 2.3. The maximum amount of any Availability Advance shall be equal to (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the then‑outstanding principal balance of all Eligible Notes Receivable pledged to Lender less (b) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan; provided, however, that at no time shall the unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceed the Maximum Loan Amount and further provided that at no time shall the combined unpaid principal balance of the Loan and the Inventory Loan exceed the Maximum Combined Loan Amount. In addition to satisfying all of the conditions precedent to the making of an Advance, as a condition of an Availability Advance, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Request for Availability Advance substantially in the form and substance of Exhibit U attached hereto, together with such other items which are reasonably necessary to determine satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto.
(b)Revolving Nature of Loan. The Loan is a revolving line of credit; however, all Advances shall be viewed as a single loan. Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain Advances after the expiration of the Borrowing Term unless Lender, in its discretion, agrees in writing with Borrower to make Advances thereafter on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender.
27
6284.98.1108841.12
2.2Continuation of Obligations Throughout Term. This Agreement and Borrower's liability for Performance of the Obligations shall continue until the end of the Term.
|
(i) In the event the unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Maximum Loan Amount or the combined unpaid principal balance of the Loan and the Inventory Loan exceeds the Maximum Combined Loan Amount, Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days following written demand, make payment to Lender in the amount of such excess. |
|
(ii) Tranche F Advances shall be made in amounts of not less than $500,000 each (with the exception of the final Advance of Tranche F which may be in an amount less than $500,000) and shall be made no more frequently than once per calendar month. |
In addition to the foregoing, Availability Advances shall be made in amounts of not less than $250,000 each and shall be made no more frequently than once per calendar month, based upon the Borrowing Base calculation as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar month.
2.3Use of Advance. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loan only for working capital, sales, marketing and other proper business purposes as it shall determine.
2.3.1Aggregation for Purpose of Determining Shortfall.Tranche E and Tranche F shall be deemed one
28
6284.98.1108841.12
single loan and the Borrowing Base for each of Tranche E and Tranche F shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the existence of a Borrowing Base Shortfall. In addition, since all Tranches (inclusive of those tranches in existence under the First A&R Loan Agreement) constitute one loan, all Notes Receivable pledged to Lender in connection with an advance under any such Tranche (inclusive of those tranches in existence under the First A&R Loan Agreement) shall secure the prompt payment and performance of amounts due and owing under all such Tranches.
2.3.2Cross-Collateralization.The Loan, and the Obligations hereunder and under any Loan Documents, shall (in addition to the Collateral) be further secured and cross‑collateralized by any properties, interests or assets of Borrower, real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible, in which Lender is granted lien or mortgage rights or security interests at any time under the Inventory Loan Documents or with respect to the Inventory Loan (such properties, interests or assets in which Lender may hold lien rights or security interests from time to time are called the “Additional Collateral”). For value received, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to the Additional Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender financing statements and other documents as may be required by Lender from time to time to further evidence and perfect Lender's liens and security interests in the Additional Collateral. However, at such time as the Inventory Loan has been paid in full and the borrowing term thereunder has expired and provided that there does not then exist an Event of Default or Incipient Default that matures into an Event of Default, the Additional Collateral shall no longer constitute security for the Loan or the Obligations under any of the Loan Documents and Lender shall promptly execute reasonable documents to evidence such release of the Additional Collateral, which, if necessary, shall be recorded or filed at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.
2.3.3Revolving Facility. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents provide that the Loan is a non-revolving loan facility, such Loan Documents are hereby amended to provide that the Loan is a revolving loan facility pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
2.4Repayment of Loan. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and shall be repaid in immediately available funds according to the terms of the Note and this Agreement.
2.5Interest. Except as otherwise provided in the Note or this Agreement, interest (“Basic Interest”) shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan from time to time outstanding at the Basic Interest Rate. Basic Interest is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days during the calendar month that the principal balance is outstanding. Interest shall accrue on funds as of the date Lender wires such funds to Borrower or to any escrow agent handling disbursement of an Advance. Payments of principal and any other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents (other than Basic Interest) shall accrue interest at the Default Rate after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Default Rate is reasonable in light of the increased risk of collection after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.
29
6284.98.1108841.12
(a)All payments of principal, interest and fees on the Loan shall be made to Lender by federal funds wire transfer as instructed by Lender in immediately available funds. If any payment of principal, interest or fees to be made by Borrower becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment will be due on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time will be included in computing any interest with respect to such payment.
(b)If any installment of interest and/or the payment of principal is not received by Lender within 10 days after the due date thereof, then in addition to the remedies conferred upon Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof and the other Loan Documents, Lender may elect to assess a late charge of 5% of the amount of the installment due and unpaid, which late charge will be added to the delinquent amount to compensate Lender for the expense of handling the delinquency; provided, however, no late charge shall be imposed upon a payment to repay the Loan upon the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Loan. Borrower and Lender agree that such late charge represents a good faith and fair and reasonable estimate of the probable cost to Lender of such delinquency. Borrower acknowledges that during the time that any such amount is in default, Lender will incur losses which are impracticable, costly and inconvenient to ascertain and that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of the execution of this Agreement and represents a reasonable estimate of the losses Lender will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual losses would be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Acceptance of such late charge will not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and will not prevent Lender from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available hereunder.
(a)Periodic Loan Payments. All payments (i.e., principal, interest, late charges and fees) made on account of Notes Receivable pledged to Lender shall be paid to Lender. On each Business Day, until the Maturity Date or the date on which the Loan is paid in full, whichever date first occurs, Borrower will pay or cause to be paid to Lender (through Lender's lockbox account in Lender’s name maintained under the Lockbox Agreement) 100% of all proceeds (except servicing fee payments and those payments described in Section 3.2(a)(ii)) of the Receivables Collateral (including all ACH (i.e., automated clearinghouse system) payments and checks) then collected under the Notes Receivable which constitute part of the Receivables Collateral. Such proceeds shall be applied by Lender against the unpaid principal balance of the Loan on Wednesday of each week and on the last day of each calendar month, or if not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Regardless of whether the proceeds of the Receivables Collateral are sufficient for that purpose, (i) interest on the principal balance of the Loan from time to time outstanding and accruing during a particular calendar month shall be due and payable in arrears on the 10th day of the next succeeding calendar month and (ii) the Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
30
6284.98.1108841.12
(b)Maximum Permitted Outstanding Principal Balance. In no event shall the unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceed the following amounts as of the following required payment dates (each a “Required Payment Date”). Borrower shall make any necessary principal payments to Lender, on or before the applicable Required Payment Date, in order to reduce the unpaid principal balance to the required amount (the “Maximum Permitted Outstanding Principal Balance”), in the event collections from the Receivables Collateral (inclusive of those collections that are to be applied against the unpaid principal balance of the Loan on the last day of each calendar month pursuant to Section 2.7(a) hereof) have not been sufficient to reduce the maximum outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the Maximum Permitted Outstanding Principal Balance prior to or on the applicable Required Payment Date. Upon the expiration of the Borrowing Term, the principal balance of the Loan (inclusive of all unpaid Tranches) shall be calculated for purposes of calculating the Maximum Permitted Outstanding Principal Balance. Subsequent to the expiration of the Borrowing Term, the Maximum Permitted Outstanding Principal Balance on each Required Payment Date shall equal the respective percentages set forth below of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (inclusive of all unpaid Tranches) at the expiration of the Borrowing Term.

(c)Borrowing Base Maintenance. If there exists a Borrowing Base Shortfall during any calendar month for any reason including by reason of the fact that a particular Note Receivable is no longer an Eligible Note Receivable, then within twenty (20) days after the date of the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(v) showing such Borrowing Base Shortfall, Borrower will at its sole option either (a) make to Lender a principal payment in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Shortfall plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal payment or (b) deliver to Lender one or
31
6284.98.1108841.12
more Eligible Notes Receivable having an aggregate Borrowing Base not less than the Borrowing Base Shortfall; provided, however, such Eligible Notes Receivable may have an aggregate Borrowing Base less than the Borrowing Base Shortfall so long as Borrower simultaneously pays to lender the difference in cash. Simultaneously with the delivery of Eligible Notes Receivable to correct a Borrowing Base Shortfall, Borrower will deliver to Lender all of the items (except for a Request for Loan Advance) required to be delivered by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 4.2, together with a “Borrower's Certificate” in form and substance identical to Exhibit E. Lender will reassign and endorse to Borrower, without recourse or warranty of any kind, an ineligible Note Receivable if: (a) no Event of Default or Incipient Default exists; (b) Borrower has made all principal payments and Performed all replacement obligations as required above in connection with the Borrowing Base Shortfall and as a result there is no Borrowing Base Shortfall; and (c) Borrower has requested Lender in writing to release the ineligible Note Receivable. Borrower will prepare the reassignment document which shall be in form and substance substantially identical to Exhibits F-1, F-2, or F-3 (attached hereto), as to each of the Timeshare Projects, respectively, and will deliver it to Lender for execution. Lender will send or cause to be sent to Borrower the reassignment document and the Note Receivable being reassigned within a reasonable time (not to exceed 20 days) after satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified above.
In addition to, and not in limitation of the foregoing, and upon the request of Borrower from time to time otherwise during the Term, but no more frequently than once per calendar month, Lender will reassign and endorse to Borrower, without recourse or warranty of any kind, an ineligible Note Receivable if: (a) no Event of Default or Incipient Default exists; (b) there is no Borrowing Base Shortfall; and (c) Borrower has requested Lender in writing to release such ineligible Note Receivable. Borrower will prepare the related reassignment document which shall be in form and substance substantially identical to Exhibits F-1, F-2, or F-3 (attached hereto), as to each of the Timeshare Projects, respectively, and will deliver it to Lender for execution. Lender will send or cause to be sent to Borrower the reassignment document and the Note Receivable being reassigned within a reasonable time (not to exceed 20 days) after satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified above.
(a)Prohibitions on Prepayment; Prepayment Premium. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not be entitled to prepay the Loan except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Loan in full, or in part, on the condition that Lender has received not less than 30 days prior written notice of such prepayment and that Borrower makes the simultaneous payment of a prepayment premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) equal to the following percentage of that portion of the principal balance of the Loan being prepaid:

In the event that Borrower prepays the Loan in full with the proceeds of a Securitization, the Inventory Loan must also be prepaid in full within 120 days following such prepayment unless the Loan balance equals or exceeds $2,500,000 on the day which occurs 120 days following such prepayment. In the event that Borrower prepays the Loan in full with cash derived from sources other than a Securitization, the Inventory Loan must also be prepaid in full concurrently with the prepayment in full of the Loan.
In the event (i) Lender releases a Note Receivable from its lien on the expectation that such Note Receivable will be part of a contemplated Securitization and (ii) such Note Receivable is ultimately not included in such Securitization, Lender shall have the exclusive right (to the exclusion of other third-party lenders) to finance such Note Receivable in the event Borrower desires to hypothecate the same in exchange for a loan advance. Borrower shall not hypothecate such Note Receivable to another lender unless and until Borrower has requested, in writing, an Advance from Lender against such Note Receivables (specifically identifying such Note Receivables as one which qualifies for the exclusivity in favor of Lender, as described in this section) and Lender does not make such an Advance within 30 days after Borrower has satisfied all conditions precedent to the making of such Advance.
No prepayment shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to make regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest as required under this Agreement.
In addition, in the event of (i) a partial prepayment of the Loan subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.8(a), or (ii) a prepayment in full subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.8(a) or other repayment in full of the Loan and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall release its security interest and reassign and endorse to Borrower, without recourse or warranty of any kind, such Notes Receivable, Purchaser Mortgages and other related Collateral collaterally assigned to Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that, if such prepayment is a partial prepayment of the Loan permitted under this Section 2.8(a) of this Agreement, Lender and Borrower shall mutually agree as to the collateral pool to be released, so that (i) the quality and nature of the Notes Receivable, Purchaser Mortgages and other related Collateral from a credit underwriting standard after such release is materially consistent (other than seasoning) with the quality and nature of the Notes Receivable, Purchaser Mortgages and other related Collateral from the credit underwriting standard that existed immediately prior to such partial prepayment and release, (ii) there is no Borrowing Base Shortfall, and (iii) no Incipient Default or Event of Default will result from such release. All releases by Lender to Borrower shall be (a) in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (b) at the Borrower’s cost and expense. Borrower will prepare the related reassignment and
33
6284.98.1108841.12
release documents and will deliver them to Lender for execution. Lender will send or cause to be sent to Borrower the reassignment and related release documents and the Notes Receivable being reassigned within a reasonable time (not to exceed 20 days) after satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified above.
(b)Exceptions to Prepayment Prohibitions. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.8(a) to the contrary, the following prepayments shall not require the payment of the Prepayment Premium: (i) principal payments scheduled under the Note including those payments required pursuant to Section 2.7; (ii) prepayments of the Loan resulting from prepayments of the Collateral by Purchasers which have not been solicited by Borrower in breach of the terms and conditions of Section 6.2(e); or (iii) prepayments resulting from the acceleration of the Loan under the Loan Documents. Any such prepayment shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to make all regularly scheduled payments due under the Loan Documents.
(c)Prepayment Premium Payable for Involuntary Prepayments. The Prepayment Premium shall be payable if the prepayment of the Loan is voluntary but shall not be required because repayment of the Loan has been accelerated pursuant to any of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents (including any right to accelerate following casualty or condemnation or when an Event of Default exists).
(d)Refund of Prepayment Premium in Connection with Securitization. If (i) Borrower conducts a Securitization of its Notes Receivable, and some or all of the proceeds of such Securitization are used to make a prepayment, whether in full, or in part, of the Loan (each such instance a “Securitization Prepayment”) and (ii) the Borrower obtains aggregate Advances under the Loan of $15,000,000 or more within twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable Securitization Prepayment, then the amount of the Prepayment Premium actually received by Lender in connection with such Securitization Prepayment shall be refunded to Borrower within thirty (30) days after Lender's receipt of written notice from Borrower together with documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender demonstrating that Borrower is eligible for a refund of the applicable Prepayment Premium under this Section 2.8(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time there exists a current Event of Default, Incipient Default, and/or Borrowing Base Shortfall, Lender shall have no obligation to refund a Securitization Prepayment to Borrower until such Event of Default, Incipient Default, and/or Borrowing Base Shortfall is cured and is no longer continuing.
(a)Loan Fee Due On First Advance. A fee equal to $37,500 has previously been paid to Lender by Borrower (the “Loan Fee – First Increase”) in connection with the Advance made by Lender to Borrower on May 16, 2017 under the 4/17 Letter Agreement. Borrower confirms that the Loan Fee – First Increase has been fully earned.
34
6284.98.1108841.12
(b)Loan Fee Due On Subsequent Increases. A fee equal to three quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the amount of each Subsequent Increase shall be paid to Lender by Borrower (cumulatively, the “Loan Fee – Subsequent Increase”, and collectively with the Loan Fee – First Increase, the “Loan Fee”) concurrently with the first Advance after each Subsequent Increase and which may be withheld from the proceeds of such Advance; provided, however, that in no event shall the total Loan Fee – Subsequent Increase exceed $37,500. Each Loan Fee – Subsequent Increase will be deemed fully earned as of the date of such first Advance, after the applicable Subsequent Increase, under this Agreement in consideration for Lender's agreement to fund Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)Loan Fee Non-Refundable. Regardless of whether Borrower repays or is required to repay the Loan prior to the end of the Maturity Date, Borrower will not be entitled to any refund of all or any portion of the Loan Fee.
2.10Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the amount of all payments or amounts received by Lender with respect to the Loan (other than those payments described in Section 3.2(a)(ii)) shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) to any past due payments of interest on the Loan and to accrued interest on the Loan through the date of such payment, including any interest at the Default Rate; (b) to any late fees, examination fees and expenses, collection fees and expenses and any other fees and expenses due to Lender in its capacity as Lockbox Agent or otherwise under the Loan Documents in connection with the Loan; (c) to the unpaid principal balance of Tranche E until the Tranche E principal balance is reduced to zero; and (d) to the unpaid principal balance of Tranche F until the Tranche F principal balance is reduced to zero. In calculating interest and applying payments as set forth above: (i) interest on the Loan shall be calculated and collected through the date payment is actually received by Lender; (ii) interest on the outstanding balance of the Loan shall be charged during any grace period permitted under the Loan Documents; (iii) at the end of each month, at the reasonable discretion of Lender, all past due interest and other past due charges provided for under the Loan Documents with respect to the Loan shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan; and (iv) to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower's benefit that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to any other Person, then, to such extent, the Obligations in connection with the Loan shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender and Lender may adjust the Loan balance as Lender, in its discretion, deems appropriate as indicated under the circumstances. The provisions of this Section 2.10 are also subject to the parties' rights and obligations under the Loan Documents as to the application of proceeds of the Collateral following an Event of Default.
2.11Borrower's Unconditional Obligation to Make Payments. Whether or not the proceeds from the Receivables Collateral shall be sufficient for that purpose, Borrower will pay when due all payments required to be made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's obligation to make such payments being absolute and unconditional.
35
6284.98.1108841.12
2.12Non-Use Fee. If during any calendar month between the period beginning one year after the Effective Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which the Borrowing Term expires, the highest combined unpaid principal balance of the Loan and the Inventory Loan during such calendar month is at any time less than $30,000,000, then within five Business Days following the end of any such calendar month, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-use fee (the “Non-Use Fee”) of one-half percent (.5%) per annum on the difference between $30,000,000 and the largest combined unpaid principal balance during such calendar month then ended under the Loan and the Inventory Loan. However, in the event the combined unpaid principal balance of this Loan and the Inventory Loan is equal to or greater than $30,000,000 during such calendar month, then no Non‑Use Fee shall be due and payable (the foregoing covenant, the “Non-Use Fee Covenant”). The Non-Use Fee under this Agreement is the same Non-Use Fee payable under the Inventory Loan Agreement and only one Non-Use Fee is payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower prepays the Loan, in full or in part, from the proceeds of a Securitization, the Non-Use Fee Covenant will be suspended from the period commencing on the calendar month in which such prepayment occurs and ending on the calendar month 12 months thereafter. After the expiration of such 12-month period, the Non-Use Fee Covenant shall resume.
3.1Grant of Security Interest in Receivables Collateral .
(a) Grant. To secure the payment and Performance of all of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and collaterally assigns to Lender the Receivables Collateral. Such security interest shall be absolute, continuing, perfected, direct, first, exclusive and applicable to all existing and future Receivables Collateral, and shall secure all the Advances and all of the Obligations. To further secure the payment and Performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Borrower Bank Accounts. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF BORROWER THAT ALL OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL SECURE ONLY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND, AS SET FORTH IN THE INVENTORY LOAN AGREEMENT, BORROWER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE INVENTORY LOAN DOCUMENTS. All liens and security interests shall be first priority liens and security interests. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Codes of the State of Arizona, the State of Delaware and the State of Missouri. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Arizona, Delaware and Missouri Uniform Commercial Codes.

Borrower shall provide and shall cause Servicing Agent to provide Lender with such servicing report within 10 Business Days of Borrower's receipt of Lender's request.

67
6284.98.1108841.12
not, without the prior written consent of Lender: (i) engage in the type of business activities substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged, (ii) cease operations, liquidate, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or (iii) during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, make any distribution with respect to any capital account, whether by reduction of capital or otherwise. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without 10 Business Days' written notice to Lender, change Borrower's name. In the event Borrower desires to merge, acquire or consolidate with any other entity, Borrower shall give Lender written notice to that effect and permit the Lender to underwrite the new borrowing entity as the borrower hereunder and under the Inventory Loan. Lender shall have a period of 60 days following the delivery by Borrower of all information reasonably requested by Lender with respect to such merger, acquisition or consolidation and such new borrowing entity in order to complete such underwriting. In the event Lender approves such new borrowing entity as the borrower hereunder and under the Inventory Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Inventory Loan Agreement and the other Inventory Loan Documents shall be modified in a reasonable manner in order to reflect the assumption by such new borrowing entity of the Loan and the Inventory Loan, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower. In the event Lender gives Borrower written notice within the aforementioned 60-day period that it does not approve such new borrowing entity as the borrower hereunder or under the Inventory Loan Agreement, Borrower shall prepay the Loan and the Inventory Loan in full together with the Prepayment Premiums outlined in Section 2.8 of the Receivables Loan Agreement, concurrently with the consummation of such merger, acquisition or consolidation.

Borrower shall keep Lender advised of each action it takes or plans to take in compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.2(k). Compliance with the covenants in this Section 6.2(k) is a material consideration and inducement to Lender in its agreement to make the Loan to Borrower, and any failure of Borrower to comply with the foregoing requirements shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. In addition, and not by way of limitation, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless for, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or related to Borrower's breach or violation of said covenants, including without limitation any seizure and forfeiture to the United States without compensation to Lender, free and clear of Lender's first lien security interest in and to the Timeshare Projects, or any action taken by the state or federal government to accomplish same. Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days following a request from Lender, provide Lender with a written statement setting forth its efforts to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.2(k) and stating whether to Borrower's knowledge any Prohibited Drug Law Activities are or may be on-going and/or have occurred in, on or around the Timeshare Projects.

7.2Effect of an Event of Default; Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default has occurred (including an Event of Default arising from a failure to pay the Loan in full on the Maturity Date) and while such Event of Default is continuing, Lender may but without obligation, in addition to the rights and powers granted elsewhere in the Loan Documents and not in limitation thereof, do any one or more of the following:
(a)declare the Note and all other sums owing by Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan, immediately due and payable without further notice, presentment, demand or protest, which are hereby waived by Borrower; except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 7.1(l), such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional;
(b)with respect to the Receivables Collateral, (i) after any applicable delinquency on a Purchase Contract, institute collection, foreclosure and other enforcement actions against Purchasers and other Persons obligated on the Receivables Collateral, (ii) enter into modification agreements and make extension agreements with respect to payments and other performances, (iii) release Persons liable for performance, (iv) settle and compromise disputes with respect to payments and performances claimed due, all without notice to Borrower, without being called to account therefor by Borrower and without relieving Borrower from Performance of the Obligations, (v) [omitted], (vi) verify the validity and amount of or any other matter relating to the Receivables Collateral, by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise, (vii) direct all Purchasers to make payment of all Receivables Collateral directly to Lender or a Person designated by Lender, forward invoices directly to such Purchasers and receive and collect all monies due or to become due with respect to such Receivables Collateral, (viii) take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of the Receivables Collateral; and (ix) enforce payment of and collect any of the Receivables Collateral assigned to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose, Lender may: (A) demand payment of any of such Receivables Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof; (B) settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release any of the Receivables Collateral; (C) sell or assign any of the Receivables Collateral on such terms, for such amount and at such times as Lender deems advisable; (D) prepare, file and sign Borrower's name on any proof of claim or similar document in any proceeding filed under any Debtor Relief Laws as to any of the Receivables Collateral; (E) endorse the name of Borrower upon any documents, instruments or similar documents or agreements relating to the Receivables Collateral or upon any checks or other media of payment that may come into Lender's possession; or (F) take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect Lender's interest in the Receivables Collateral;
(c)proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and to foreclose or otherwise realize upon its security for the Performance of the Obligations, or to exercise any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or by statute;
(d)request and have appointed a receiver with respect to Borrower and/or the Collateral, and to that end, Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver by Lender in any action initiated by Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and Borrower waives any notice and posting of a bond in connection therewith;
73
6284.98.1108841.12
(e)at its discretion, retain all or part of the Collateral in partial or full satisfaction of the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law; however, Lender will not be considered to have offered to retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations, unless Lender has entered into a written agreement with Borrower to that effect;
(f)Reserved.
|
(g) to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else with Lender and all accounts Borrower may open in the future with Lender (collectively, the “Borrower Bank Accounts”); exclusive, however, of any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law; |
|
(h) increase the rate of interest accruing under the Loan to the applicable Default Rate; |
|
(i) immediately cease to make further Advances and from time to time apply all or any portion of the undisbursed amount of the Loan to the payment of accrued interest under the Note and/or upon any other obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Document. Lender may also withhold any one or more Advances after the occurrence of an Incipient Default, unless Borrower cures or corrects such event or condition to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default; and/or |
|
(j) exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents or available at law, in equity or otherwise. |
For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted by Section 7.2(b), Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enter into such contracts, perform such acts and incur such liabilities as are referred to in said subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest.
All remedies of Lender provided for herein and in any other Loan Documents are cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or in equity. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder or under any other Loan Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document. If Lender exercises any of the rights or remedies provided in this Article 7, that exercise shall not make Lender, or cause Lender to be deemed to be, a partner or joint venturer of Borrower. No disbursement of loan funds by Lender shall cure any default of Borrower, unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing in each instance. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an
74
6284.98.1108841.12
election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Guarantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents may become immediately due and payable without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character, at Lender's option, exercisable in its sole discretion.
7.3Application of Proceeds During an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, but subject to Section 7.5, while an Event of Default exists, any cash received and retained by Lender in connection with the Receivables Collateral or any other Collateral may be applied to payment of such of the Obligations as Lender in its discretion may determine.
7.4Uniform Commercial Remedies; Sale; Assembly of Receivables Collateral.
(a)UCC Remedies; Sale of Collateral. Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and all other rights and remedies accorded to a secured party at equity or law. Any notice of sale or other disposition of the Receivables Collateral given not less than 10 days prior to such proposed action in connection with the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies shall constitute reasonable and fair notice of such action. Lender may postpone or adjourn any such sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place of sale stated on the notice of sale or by announcement of any adjourned sale, without being required to give a further notice of sale. Any such sale may be for cash or, unless prohibited by applicable law, upon such credit or installment as Lender may determine. Borrower shall be credited with the net proceeds of such sale only when such proceeds are actually received by Lender in good current funds. Despite the consummation of any such sale, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency on the Obligations which remains outstanding following such sale. All net proceeds recovered pursuant to a sale shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5.
(b)Lender's Right to Execute Conveyances. Lender may, in the name of Borrower or in its own name, make and execute all conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Receivables Collateral sold in connection with the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies; and Lender is hereby appointed Borrower's attorney‑in‑fact for this purpose, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest.
(c)Obligation to Assemble Receivables Collateral. Upon request of Lender when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall assemble the Receivables Collateral or any portion thereof (in its possession) and make it available to Lender at a time and place designated by Lender, if it is not already in Lender's possession.
75
6284.98.1108841.12
(d)Registration. Borrower recognizes that registration of certain of the Receivables Collateral or other Collateral under the federal and state securities laws may be impractical because of the expenses or delays involved in the registration process and that in the absence of such registration, Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Borrower agrees that private sales so made may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such Collateral were sold at public sales, and that Lender has no obligation to delay sale of any such Collateral for a period of time necessary to permit such Collateral to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws. Borrower agrees that sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner by virtue of any terms less favorable to the seller resulting from the private nature of such sales.
7.5Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made in connection with the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies shall be applied in the following order of priorities; first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, including compensation to Lender’s agents, reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Lender, its agents and attorneys, in connection with such sale, and any other unreimbursed expenses for which Lender may be reimbursed pursuant to the Loan Documents; second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may determine; and last, to the payment to Borrower, its successors or assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
7.6Lender's Right to Perform. Lender may, at its option, and without any obligation to do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all obligations agreed to be paid or Performed in the Loan Documents by Borrower or any surety for the Performance of the Obligations if (a) such Person fails to do so and (b) (i) an Event of Default exists and at least 5 Business Days' notice has been given to such Person of Lender's intention to take such action, (ii) the action taken by Lender involves obtaining insurance which such Person has failed to maintain in accordance with the Loan Documents or to deliver evidence thereof, or (iii) in the opinion of Lender, such action must be taken because an emergency exists or to preserve any of the Collateral or its value. For such purposes Lender may use the proceeds of the Collateral. All amounts expended by Lender in so doing or in exercising its remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default shall become part of the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the dates of such expenditures until paid.
7.7Waiver of Marshalling. Borrower, for itself and for all who may claim through or under it, hereby expressly waives and releases all right to have the Collateral, or any part of the Collateral, marshalled on any foreclosure, sale or other enforcement of Lender's rights and remedies.
76
6284.98.1108841.12
7.8Waiver in Legal Actions. In connection with any proceedings related to the enforcement of remedies under this Agreement or the documents collateral hereto or the transactions contemplated hereunder, Borrower irrevocably waives:
(a)All procedural errors, defects and imperfections in such proceedings;
(b)Any requirement of bonds, and any surety or security relating thereto, required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as incident to such possession;
(c)Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, demand, presentment and protest, notice of demand, presentment or protest of the Note, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document;
(d)The benefit of any valuation, appraisal and exemption law; and
(e)Any right to subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity.
7.9Set-Off. Without limiting the rights of Lender under applicable law, Lender has and may exercise a right of set-off, a lien against and a security interest in all property of Borrower or Guarantor now or at any time in Lender's possession in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance of any deposit, trust or agency account, or any other bank account with Lender, as security for all Obligations. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Lender may without notice or demand, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit of Borrower or Guarantor against any or all of the Obligations.
8.COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION; DUTIES OF LENDER
8.1Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall promptly pay all taxes and assessments and all reasonable expenses, charges, costs and fees provided for in this Agreement or relating to the Loan, including, without limitation, fees and costs incurred in connection with protective advances made by Lender under this Agreement, any reasonable fees incurred for recording or filing any of the Loan Documents, title insurance premiums and charges, tax service contract fees, fees of any consultants, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender's counsel, documentation, closing, and processing fees, printing, photostating and duplicating expenses, air freight charges, escrow fees, costs of surveys, premiums of hazard insurance policies and surety bonds and fees for any appraisal and appraisal review, environmental report and environmental report review, inspection report review, and market or feasibility study required by Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the Loan to pay such expenses, charges, costs and fees notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amount. Lender shall make such disbursements notwithstanding the fact that the Loan is not
77
6284.98.1108841.12
“in balance” or that Borrower is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursement shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. The authorization hereby granted shall be irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for Lender to make such disbursements. However, the provision of this Section 8.1 shall not prevent Borrower from paying such expense, charges, costs and fees from its own funds. All such expenses, charges, costs and fees shall be Borrower's obligation regardless of whether or not Borrower has requested and met the conditions for a disbursement of the Loan. The obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 8.1 shall survive the closing of the Loan and the repayment thereof. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in its discretion, to pay such expenses, charges, costs and fees at any time by a disbursement of the Loan.
8.2Indemnification. Borrower will INDEMNIFY, PROTECT, HOLD HARMLESS, and defend Lender, its successors, assigns and shareholders (including corporate shareholders), and the directors, officers, employees, servants and agents of any of the foregoing, for, from and against: (a) any and all liability, damage, penalties, or fines, loss, costs or expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees, whether incurred in a third party action or in an action to enforce this Agreement), claims, demands, suits, proceedings (whether civil or criminal), orders, judgments, penalties, fines and other sanctions whatsoever asserted against it as a result of actions, claims, counterclaims, fines, penalties or otherwise and arising from or brought in connection with a Timeshare Project, the Collateral, Lender's status by virtue of the Loan Documents, sales of Timeshare Interests or the financing of such sales, in either case, in violation of or in noncompliance with any Legal Requirements, the breach by Borrower of any terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, the sale or financing of Timeshare Interests, the creation of liens and security interests, the terms of the Loan Documents or the transactions related thereto, any assertion that Lender is a partner or joint venturer of Borrower or any other Person by virtue of the making of the Loan, or any act or omission of Borrower or an Agent, or their respective employees or agents, whether actual or alleged (“Losses”), except to the extent that any of the foregoing Losses described in this clause (a) are caused by Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct or first accrue after foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; and (b) any and all brokers' commissions or finders' fees or other costs of similar type by any party in connection with the Loan, other than those owed to Ward Financial. On written request by a Person covered by the above agreement of indemnity, Borrower will undertake, at its own cost and expense, on behalf of such indemnitee, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnitee, the defense of any legal action or proceeding to which such Person shall be a party. At Lender's option, Lender may at Borrower's expense prosecute or defend any action within the scope of the indemnification contained in this Section 8.2 to the extent Borrower does not promptly prosecute or defend such action with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender. No termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall affect or impair the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 8.2 and all such provisions shall survive such termination.
8.3Duties of Lender. Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss or damage to the Notes Receivable or Receivables Collateral caused by any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, the Lockbox Agent (while the Lockbox Agent is any Person other than Lender or any of its Affiliates), Servicing Agent, Custodial
78
6284.98.1108841.12
Agent or any other Person whomsoever, excluding damages or losses that occur as a result of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
8.4Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may execute any of its duties and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives or through other Persons.
8.5Foreign Assets Control. Lender may disclose any and all information regarding Borrower and a Purchaser in connection with any regulatory examination of Lender or to the extent Lender deems advisable to disclose such information to such applicable regulatory agencies involving matters relating to the Trading With the Enemy Act, the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or the Executive Order; provided, however, that if Lender is legally permitted to do so, no such disclosure shall be made prior to the Lender (x) giving the Borrower prior written notification within one (1) Business Day after Lender's receipt of notice of any such required disclosure or decision of the Lender to make such disclosure, that explains in reasonable detail (if known to Lender), the basis for such disclosure, which notification shall include the following: (i) the contents of the disclosure, (ii) the Person to whom the disclosure must be made, and (iii) if known to Lender, the legal basis for the disclosure; (y) using commercially reasonable efforts to require that any recipient of such disclosure maintain such information on a confidential basis in accordance with all Legal Requirements, including all applicable consumer privacy laws; and (z) if Lender is legally permitted to do so, providing Borrower with an opportunity to redact all of the names, social security numbers and bank account numbers of, and all non-public personal information pertaining to, any Purchasers.

The Loan Documents supersede any and all prior representations, warranties and/or inducements, written or oral, heretofore made by Lender, Borrower and Guarantor concerning this transaction, including any commitment for financing. To the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency between any Timeshare Declaration (as it pertains to the right of Borrower to affect the rights of mortgagees) and the Loan Documents, then, as between Borrower and Lender, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall prevail.

If any such approval is not withheld in writing with a statement of the reasons therefor within ten (10) days after NBA gives notice of such an assignment, such approval shall be deemed given. Upon such assignment and assumption, (i) to the extent of the interest
82 6284.98.1108841.12 |
assigned the (A) Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a lender under the Loan Documents and (B) the assignor (including, without limitation, NBA) shall be relieved of such obligations and (ii) the obligations of NBA and Assignee to fund Advances shall be several in accordance with the portion of the Loan held by each, and not joint. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event the Assignee is an Eligible Assignee and also an Affiliate of NBA, NBA shall not be relieved of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and the obligations of NBA and such Affiliate to fund Advances shall be joint and not several obligations. NBA and each Assignee may also transfer interests by way of participation; provided, in the case of the transfer of such a participation interest, (i) such selling party's obligations to the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such selling party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) parties to this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling party in connection with such selling party's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. In order to facilitate such assignments and participations, the Borrower shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lender may reasonably require; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such assignment or participation. |
|
(b) Upon any assignment of less than all of NBA's interest in the Loan, (i) NBA will continue to act as administrative agent on behalf of all of lenders and (ii) NBA and each Assignee may enter into such co-lending or other agreements with all of the Assignees establishing (among other things) procedures for administration and enforcement of the Loan, voting on various matters, the terms under which NBA will act as administrative agent (and if applicable, collateral agent), the terms and conditions governing further assignments and participations by Assignee (if and to the extent further assignments are permitted by NBA), and enforcement of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that under no circumstances will any such agreements between NBA and any Assignee alter, amend, change or result in the alteration, amendment or change to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without Borrower's prior written consent. So long as NBA is acting as administrative agent, Borrower shall only be required and permitted to provide notices to and seek consents and approvals through NBA and Borrower shall not communicate directly with the Assignees, unless expressly approved by NBA. |
|
(c) Without limiting the other provisions of this Section, from and after each assignment permitted pursuant to this Section (other than assignments by NBA of its entire interest in the Loan): (i) all grants of collateral security (including, without limitation, each deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, assignment of rents and leases, and other assignments for security in the Loan Documents shall be deemed made to NBA in its capacity as administrative agent for the pro rata benefit of NBA and the Assignees as lenders; (ii) all obligations and liabilities of Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to inure to the pro rata benefit of NBA and the Assignees as lenders; and (iii) all indemnity and reimbursement obligations of Borrower and guarantor shall be in favor of NBA and Assignees in accordance with their pro rata interests and in the case of indemnities shall include all named indemnified parties of NBA and Assignee (for example an indemnity in favor of a party and its officers, directors, agents, and employees shall be for the benefit of the officers, directors, agents, and employees of each of NBA and the Assignee);
83 6284.98.1108841.12 |
provided that any obligation of the Borrower to reimburse for out of pocket costs and expenses of any party shall be deemed to refer to the party incurring such costs and expenses. |
|
(d) As used herein, “Eligible Assignee” means (i) NBA or any of its Affiliates or (ii) any other bank or financial institution that has assets of at least $5,000,000,000; provided that the identity of the Eligible Assignee (in the case of clause (ii)) shall be subject to prior written approval of each of Borrower and Guarantor, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |
9.9Successors and Assigns. All the covenants of Borrower and all the rights and remedies of Lender contained in the Loan Documents shall bind Borrower, and, subject to the restrictions on merger, consolidation and assignment contained in the Loan Documents, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. Borrower may not assign its rights in the Loan Documents in whole or in part. Except as may be expressly provided in a Loan Document, no Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of any provision of the Loan Documents.
9.10Severability. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under present or future laws, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added to the Loan Document affected, a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision as may be possible.
9.11Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the Performance of the Obligations.
9.12Miscellaneous. All headings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect any construction or interpretation of the Loan Documents. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in a Loan Document to clauses and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding paragraphs, clauses and other subdivisions of the Loan Document. All Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement are incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
9.13 FORUM SELECTION; JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, THE PRIMARY PLACE OF BUSINESS OF LENDER, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WERE SUBSTANTIALLY NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WERE DELIVERED BY BORROWER IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA, EXECUTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND THAT THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL CONTACTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN AND THE STATE OF ARIZONA. SUBJECT TO THE
84
6284.98.1108841.12
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.14, FOR PURPOSES OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ALL FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND BORROWER CONSENTS THAT IT MAY BE SERVED WITH ANY PROCESS OR PAPER BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF ARIZONA IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. FURTHERMORE, BORROWER WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, THAT THE ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT VENUE OF THE ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. TO THE EXTENT THAT A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FINDS ARIZONA LAW INAPPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THEN, AS TO THOSE PROVISIONS ONLY, THE LAWS OF THE STATES WHERE THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED SHALL BE DEEMED TO APPLY. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO COMMENCE ANY PROCEEDING IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATES IN WHICH THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED TO THE EXTENT LENDER DEEMS SUCH PROCEEDING NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE TO EXERCISE REMEDIES AVAILABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY RULE OR CANON OF CONSTRUCTION WHICH INTERPRETS AGREEMENTS AGAINST A DRAFTSMAN.
9.14DISPUTE RESOLUTION . This section contains a jury waiver, arbitration clause, and a class action waiver. READ IT CAREFULLY.
This dispute resolution provision shall supersede and replace any prior “Jury Waiver,” “Judicial Reference,” “Class Action Waiver,” “Arbitration,” “Dispute Resolution,” or similar alternative dispute agreement or provision between or among the parties.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. As permitted by applicable law, each party waives their respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any Dispute (as “Dispute” is hereinafter defined), and Disputes shall be resolved by a judge sitting without a jury. If a court determines that this provision is not enforceable for any reason and at any time prior to trial of the Dispute, but not later than 30 days after entry of the order determining this provision is unenforceable, any party shall be entitled to move the court for an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing such litigation pending arbitration (“Arbitration Order”). If permitted by applicable law, each party also waives the right to litigate in court or an arbitration proceeding any Dispute as a class action, either as a member of a class or as a representative, or to act as a private attorney general.
85
6284.98.1108841.12
ARBITRATION. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between us with respect to this Agreement, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of us whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a “Dispute”), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of us may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a mutually agreed upon single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.
Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or National Arbitration Forum (“Administrator”) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations we have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or (iii) involving either of our employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. However, Disputes do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, we each will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in the city and state where Lender is headquartered.
After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration (but shall not be required to commence arbitration in the event of the moving party's decision not to do so as set forth in the next sentence). The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment; (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppels, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.
86
6284.98.1108841.12
Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney's fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.
Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrator's rules, this arbitration provision shall control.
RELIANCE. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this section.
9.15Interpretation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be construed against Lender merely because of Lender's involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements.
9.16Destruction of Note; Substitute Note. In the event the Note is mutilated or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, or otherwise lost or stolen and regardless of whether due to the act or neglect of Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender in substitution therefor a duplicate promissory note containing the same terms and conditions as the promissory note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, within 10 days after Lender notifies Borrower of any such mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of such note and delivery to Borrower of an affidavit certifying that the same was not negotiated and Borrower will only be liable on the replaced note executed by Borrower. Upon Borrower's delivery of such duplicate promissory note, Borrower will be relieved of all obligations under the original promissory note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and will thereafter be bound solely by the provisions of such duplicate promissory note. The Lender shall be entitled to have the Note subdivided into notes of lesser denominations or substituted for new notes, all containing the same terms as the original Note being substituted or subdivided, in connection with an assignment of all or any portion of the Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 9.9 hereof.
9.17Compliance With Applicable Usury Law. It is the intent of the parties hereto to comply with the Applicable Usury Law. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Loan Documents, in no
87
6284.98.1108841.12
event shall the Loan Documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law.
9.18NO RELATIONSHIP WITH PURCHASERS. LENDER DOES NOT HEREBY ASSUME AND SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY, OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY TO PURCHASERS, LENDER'S RELATIONSHIP BEING THAT ONLY OF A CREDITOR WHO HAS TAKEN AN ASSIGNMENT FROM BORROWER OF THE NOTES RECEIVABLE IN ORDER TO FACILITATE PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW AND FOR FILINGS MADE WITH THE SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR ANY STOCK EXCHANGE ON WHICH GUARANTOR'S OR GUARANTOR'S PARENTS OR INDIRECT PARENT'S STOCK OR OTHER OWNERSHIP INTEREST IS OR MAY BE TRADED, BORROWER WILL NOT, AT ANY TIME, USE THE NAME OF OR MAKE REFERENCE TO LENDER WITH RESPECT TO A TIMESHARE PROJECT, THE SALE OF TIMESHARE INTERESTS OR OTHERWISE, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER.
9.19NO JOINT VENTURE. THE RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER IS THAT OF DEBTOR AND CREDITOR, AND IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF EITHER OF SUCH PARTIES BY THIS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BEING EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN TO ESTABLISH A PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE WITH BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON, AND THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE CONSTRUED TO BE PARTNERS OR JOINT VENTURERS.
9.20Scope of Reimbursable Attorney's Fees. As used in the Loan Documents, the term “attorneys' fees” includes the reasonable fees of attorneys licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction, law clerks, paralegals, investigators and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of a licensed attorney. As used in the Loan Documents, attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in the enforcement of any remedy or covenant include attorneys' fees incurred in any foreclosure of the Loan Documents, in enforcing any rights of indemnification under the Loan Documents, in protecting or sustaining the lien or priority of the Collateral, or in any proceeding arising from or connected with any such matter, including any bankruptcy, receivership, injunction or other similar proceeding, or any appeal from or petition for review of any such matter, and with or without litigation.
9.21Confidentiality. Borrower and Lender shall mutually agree on the contents of any press release, public announcement or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder to be made following the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided that, (a) the Lender may disclose the terms hereof and give copies of the Loan Documents to assignees and participants and to prospective assignees and participants, and (b) Lender acknowledges that the terms hereof may be disclosed in the periodic filings related to Guarantor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and in the notes to Borrower's and Guarantor's financial statements. If either party fails
88
6284.98.1108841.12
to respond to the other party in writing with either an approval or a disapproval within five (5) Business Days of a party's receipt of the other party's request for consent or approval as expressly contemplated pursuant to this Section 9.21, then such consent or approval will be deemed to have been given, provided that such five (5) Business Day period will not commence to run unless and until the other party has received all information, materials, documents and other matters required to be submitted to it hereunder, with respect to such consent or approval and all other information, materials, documents and other matters reasonably essential to its decision process.
9.22Relief from Automatic Stay, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event Borrower shall make application for or seek relief or protection under the federal bankruptcy code (“Bankruptcy Code”) or other Debtor Relief Laws, or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed against the Borrower under such Code or other Debtor Relief Laws, and not dismissed with prejudice within 45 days, the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are hereby modified as to Lender to the extent necessary to implement the provisions hereof permitting set‑off and the filing of financing statements or other instruments or documents; and Lender shall automatically and without demand or notice (each of which is hereby waived) be entitled to immediate relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender as provided in the Loan Documents.
9.23Reliance. Lender's examination, inspection, or receipt of information pertaining to Borrower, any Guarantor, the Collateral or a Timeshare Project shall not in any way be deemed to reduce the full scope and protection of the warranties, representations and Obligations contained in the Loan Documents.
9.24Limitation of Damages. Neither Borrower, Lender nor any of its Affiliates or successors shall be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages in connection with any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the Loan Documents (including with limitation damages for loss of profits, business interruption or the like), whether such damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, unless any of such damages arise out of or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party or any of its Affiliates. Furthermore, as between Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall be responsible for and Lender is hereby released from any claim or liability in connection with:
|
(a) |
safekeeping any Collateral; |
|
(b) |
any loss or damage to any Collateral; |
|
(c) |
any diminution in value of the Collateral; or |
|
(d) |
any act or default of another Person (other than Lender or its Affiliates). |
Lender shall only be liable for any act or omission on its part constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event Borrower brings suit against Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and Lender is found not to be liable, Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with such suit. This Agreement is not intended to obligate Lender to take any action with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform any obligation or duty of
89
6284.98.1108841.12
Borrower. Borrower's obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loan.
9.25Waiver of Right of First Refusal. Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives any right of first refusal it may have to purchase Timeshare Interests (including without limitation the right of first refusal contained in any Timeshare Declaration in favor of Borrower, as declarant) with respect to any Timeshare Interests acquired by Lender, or its nominee or assignee, through the exercise or enforcement of the Lender’s rights related to the Collateral under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that in the event that Lender, or its nominee or assignee, acquires title to any such Timeshare Interests under the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, such Timeshare Interests may be assigned, transferred or sold free and clear of any right of first refusal in favor of Borrower.
9.26Consents, Approvals and Discretion. Whenever Lender's consent or approval is required or permitted, or any documents or other items are required to be acceptable to Lender, such consent, approval or acceptability shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Whenever any determination or act is at Lender's discretion, such determination or act shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
9.27USA Patriot Act Notice. The following notification is provided to Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:
|
(i) IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Borrower: When Borrower opens an account, if Borrower is an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower's name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower and, if Borrower is not an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower's name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower. Lender may also ask, if Borrower is an individual, to see Borrower's driver's license or other identifying documents and, if Borrower is not an individual, to see Borrower's legal organizational documents or other identifying documents. |
(ii)Government Regulation. Borrower shall not (a) be or become subject at any time to any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list) that prohibits or limits Lender from making any advance or extension of credit to Borrower or from otherwise conducting business with Borrower, or (b) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Borrower's identity as may be requested by Lender at any time to enable Lender to verify Borrower's identity or to comply with any applicable law or
90
6284.98.1108841.12
regulation, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318.
9.28Errors and Omissions. Borrower hereby agrees that it will, within ten (10) days of a request by Lender, comply with any reasonable request by Lender to correct documentation errors, omissions or oversights, if any, that occur in any documentation relating to the Loan.
9.29Background Statements. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into the operative provisions of this Agreement.
9.30Waiver of Defenses and Release of Claims. The undersigned hereby (i) represents that neither the undersigned nor any principal of the undersigned has any defenses to or setoffs against any indebtedness or other obligations owing in connection with the Loan by Borrower, or by the undersigned's principals, to Lender or Lender's affiliates (the “Owed Obligations”), nor any claims against Lender or Lender's affiliates for any matter whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Owed Obligations, and (ii) releases Lender and Lender's affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from all claims, causes of action, and costs, in law or equity, known or unknown, whether or not matured or contingent, existing as of the date hereof that the undersigned has or may have by reason of any matter of any conceivable kind or character whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Owed Obligations, including the subject matter of this Agreement as of the date hereof. The foregoing release does not apply, however, to claims for future performance of express contractual obligations that mature after the date hereof that are owing to the undersigned by Lender or Lender's affiliates. As used in this paragraph, the word “undersigned” does not include Lender or any individual signing on behalf of Lender. The undersigned acknowledges that Lender has been induced to enter into or continue the Owed Obligations by, among other things, the waivers and releases in this paragraph.
9.31Document Imaging. Lender shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image or make copies of all or any selection of the agreements, instruments, documents, and items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Lender's loans to Borrower, including, without limitation, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Lender may destroy or archive the paper originals; however, no original promissory notes shall be destroyed. The parties hereto to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) waive any right to insist or require that Lender produce paper originals, (b) agree that such images shall be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals and (c) agree that Lender is entitled to use such images in lieu of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or other proceedings upon certification thereof under oath that such image is a true and correct copy of the original. Upon payment of the Loan, the Lender shall deliver the original Note to Borrower marked “paid in full” and mark its records that the Loan has been paid.

91
6284.98.1108841.12
the rights and undertakings under the First A&R Loan Agreement of the parties thereto existing as of the Effective Date are hereby confirmed and, subject to and, if applicable, as amended by, the terms and conditions hereof, continued under this Agreement.
