WHEREAS, the Company, the Designated Representative, the Agent, and the Holders are parties to that certain Note Purchase and Collateral Trust and Security Agreement dated March 26, 2013 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”); and



WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 17.1 and 21.12 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company, the Designated Representative, the Agent, and the Holders that are the current holders of all of the Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement desire to amend the Note Purchase Agreement in the manner set forth herein.



NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:



1.        Defined Terms.  Except as otherwise expressly defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the Note Purchase Agreement.  The defined term “Voluntary Termination Amount” in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and all references to any required payment of the “Voluntary Termination Amount” in Sections 8.4, 8.7, 8.10(v), 14.2, and 17.1(a)(z) of the Note Purchase Agreement are hereby deleted.



2.        Section 8.6.  Section 8.6 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

Section 8.6.     Note Rate.  The per annum rate of interest payable by the Obligors shall be a fixed rate of interest of 5.50% per annum (the “Note Rate”).



3.        Section 8.12(a).  Section 8.12(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:



(a)  Other than (i) with respect to prepayments of the principal balance of the Notes which arise from payments from Partial Releases of Mortgage; (ii) in accordance with Section 8.11(b); and (iii) prepayments from the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 8.10(a)(viii), the Company may not terminate financing under this Agreement or prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8.12.  At any time after March 27, 2019, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company may terminate financing under this Agreement and prepay the Notes in whole, but not in part.  Such permitted prepayment in full shall be known as a “Voluntary Termination” and may be effected only by providing the Agent with irrevocable written notice (the “Termination Notice”).  The Termination Notice shall be provided to the Agent at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the specific date upon which the Obligors intend to cease financing hereunder and prepay the Obligations in full, which date shall be known as the “Voluntary Termination Date.” The Voluntary Termination Date shall always be a Payment Date and shall be the first Payment Date occurring ten (10) calendar days after the giving of the Termination Notice.  No premium or penalty shall be payable in connection with a Voluntary Termination in accordance with this Section 8.12. 



4.        Section 8.20.  Section 8.20 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:



Section 8.20     Rating Option.  The initial rating on the Notes shall be deemed to be B (low) based upon S&P’s “B-” corporate rating of Bluegreen Corporation.  Bluegreen Corporation had the option (the “Rating Option”) to have a Rating Agency provide a rating of the Notes or Bluegreen Corporation on or prior to the Closing Date or within three (3) months following the Closing Date.  If no such rating was obtained within the designated time period, the initial rating would have been considered the final rating.  Any rating on the Notes (or, if the Notes were not rated, the Bluegreen Corporation corporate debt rating) higher than B (low) issued by or within three (3) months of the Closing Date shall be considered the final rating.  Any subsequent ratings actions, including upgrades, downgrades, new ratings or ratings withdrawals, however, shall not affect current or future pricing.  Bluegreen Corporation exercised the Rating Option and delivered an executed “ratings letter” from DBRS to the Designated Representative and Agent setting forth the new rating.  Bluegreen Corporation shall continue to provide such information as is reasonably requested by DBRS in order for DBRS to provide, at Bluegreen Corporation’s expense, ongoing “rating surveillance” to the Designated Representative until the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Collateral Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have

been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full.  For the avoidance of doubt, such ongoing rating surveillance shall be in the form of a ratings confirmation letter from DBRS to be delivered annually.



5.        Conditions to Effectiveness.  The effectiveness of this First Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent in a manner satisfactory to the Designated Representative, in its reasonable discretion, unless specifically waived in writing by the Designated Representative:
