Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Term Securitization.
     On June 6, 2008, the Registrant completed a term securitization through its newly-formed and fully consolidated special purpose finance subsidiary, Silverleaf Finance VI, LLC (“SF-VI”), a Delaware limited liability company. SF-VI was formed for the purpose of issuing approximately $115.4 million of its Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes Series 2008-A (“Series 2008-A Notes”) in a private offering and sale through UBS Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. The Series 2008-A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (“Indenture”) by and among the Registrant, as servicer of the timeshare loans, SF-VI, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee, custodian, backup servicer, and account intermediary. The Series 2008-A Notes were issued in seven classes with a blended coupon rate of 7.263%.
     The Series 2008-A Notes are currently secured by approximately $128.6 million in timeshare loans sold to SF-VI by the Registrant and one of the Registrant’s other fully consolidated special purpose finance subsidiaries, Silverleaf Finance IV, LLC (“SF-IV”). The timeshare loans sold to SF-VI were previously pledged as collateral by the Registrant and SF-IV under revolving credit facilities with senior lenders. The cash proceeds from the sale of the timeshare loans to SF-VI have been primarily used by the Registrant and SF-VI to repay approximately $93.8 million in consolidated indebtedness to senior lenders. All timeshare loans purchased by SF-VI were acquired without recourse, except in the case of breaches of customary representations and warranties made in connection with the sale of the timeshare loans; provided that the Registrant is obligated under the Indenture and a related guaranty agreement to pay up to an aggregate of $1 million to SF-VI in the event there are insufficient funds available on scheduled payment dates to make required payments. The Registrant continues to be responsible for servicing the timeshare loans pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and will receive a fee for its services.
     The description of the Series 2008-A Notes contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Amendments to Senior Loan Agreements
     (a) Wells Fargo Foothill Amendments
     Effective as of June 6, 2008, the Registrant entered into amendments to its revolving receivables and inventory credit facilities with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (“WFF”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement-Receivables with WFF, the commitment of WFF for financing of the Registrant’s receivables is the lesser of (a) $35 million or (b) the amount by which (i) $75 million exceeds (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Series 2008-A Notes purchased by WFF plus the amount outstanding under the inventory credit facility. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement-Inventory, the commitment of WFF for financing of the Registrant’s inventory is the lesser of (a) $15 million or (b) the amount by which (i) $75 million exceeds (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Series 2008-A Notes purchased by WFF plus the amount outstanding under the receivables credit facility.
     (b) Textron Amendment
     Effective as of June 6, 2008, the Registrant entered into the Second Amendment to Consolidated, Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and Loan Documents (“Second Textron Amendment”) with Textron Financial Corporation (“Textron”) to amend its consolidated receivables, inventory and acquisition revolving line of credit. Pursuant to the Second Textron Amendment, the Registrant reduced the amount it may borrow under the Acquisition Loan Component of its $100 million line of credit from $20 million to $10 million and the total availability under the facility will be reduced by the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2008-A Notes owned by Textron and an amount equal to 10.5% of the outstanding principal balance of the credit loan facility provided by Textron to Silverleaf Finance II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, under the conduit loan facility entered into in December 2003, as amended in March 2005.
     The interest rate charged on the principal balance outstanding under the Acquisition Component was increased from the prime rate plus 1% to the prime rate plus 3%, but never less than 8%. The interest rate on the Receivables

 


 

Loan Component is the prime rate, but never less than 6%. The interest rate on the Inventory Loan Component is the prime rate plus 1%, but never less than 6%. The Registrant shall be required to pay Textron a fee equal to 1/4% of the difference between the average outstanding principal balance of the Receivable Loan Component and the amount available under the Receivable Loan Component.
     Certain financial covenants were also modified by the Second Textron Amendment. The maximum allowable limit on the ratio of sales and marketing expense to revenue from the sale of vacation intervals was increased from .57 to 1 to .60 to 1. The interest coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1 was modified to calculate the ratio based upon a trailing twelve month period as opposed to a calculation based upon the calendar quarter as previously required.
Item 2.03   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
     The Registrant’s responses to Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

accruing to the Issuer from, (i) the Timeshare Loans specified on Schedule I hereto, (ii) any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, (iii) the Receivables in respect of each Timeshare Loan due on and after the related Cut-Off Date, (iv) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (v) all Related Security in respect of each Timeshare Loan, (vi) all rights and remedies under the Transfer Agreement, the Loan Sale Agreement, the Lockbox Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement, the Guaranty and the Custodial Agreement, (vii) all amounts in or to be deposited to the Lockbox Account, the Collection Account and the General Reserve Account and (viii) proceeds of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind, and other forms of obligations and receivables which at any time constitute all or part or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (i) any Timeshare Loan released from the lien of this Indenture in accordance with the terms hereof and any Related Security, Timeshare Loan Documents, income or proceeds related to such released Timeshare Loan, (ii) any amount distributed pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 6.6 hereof or (iii) any Misdirected Deposits.
          Such Grant is made in trust to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, equally and ratably except as otherwise may be provided in this Indenture, without prejudice, priority, or distinction between any Note of the same Class and any other Note of the same Class by reason of differences in time of issuance or otherwise, and (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under the Notes and this Indenture.
          The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein required to the best of its ability and to the end that the interests of the Noteholders may be adequately and effectively protected as hereinafter provided.
          The Custodian shall hold the Timeshare Loan Files in trust, for the use and benefit of the Issuer and all present and future Noteholders, and shall retain possession thereof. The Custodian further agrees and acknowledges that each other item making up the Collateral that is physically delivered to the Custodian will be held by the Custodian in the State of Minnesota or in any other location acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer.
          The Indenture Trustee further acknowledges that in the event the conveyance of the Timeshare Loans by Silverleaf to the Issuer pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, or by the Seller to the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Sale Agreement, is determined to constitute a loan and not a sale as it is intended by all the parties hereto, the Custodian will be holding each of the Timeshare Loans as bailee of the Issuer; provided, however, that with respect to the Timeshare Loans, the Custodian shall not act at the direction of the Issuer without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee.

OF GENERAL APPLICATION
     Section 1.1 General Definitions.
          In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Indenture, capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the “Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A.
     Section 1.2 Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
          Upon any written application or request (or oral application with prompt written or telecopied confirmation) by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, other than any request that (a) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such request, (b) the Indenture Trustee invest moneys in any of the Trust Accounts pursuant to the written directions specified in such request or (c) the Indenture Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer’s assignee specified in such request, the Indenture Trustee shall require the Issuer to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request otherwise is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such requested action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
     Section 1.3 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one such document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
          Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows that the opinion with respect to the matters upon which his/her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such officer’s certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer as to such factual matters unless such officer or counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters is erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such

3


 

other counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
          Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.1(b) hereof.
          Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such event. For all purposes of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default nor shall the Indenture Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine whether a default has occurred (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in Section 6.1(a) hereof) or Servicer Event of Default has occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Servicer or any secured party.
     Section 1.4 Acts of Noteholders, etc.
          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

4


 

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
          (c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
          (d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder for the benefit of such Noteholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 1.4(d) shall be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
     Section 1.5 Notice to Noteholders, Waiver.
          (a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, via first class mail, or sent by private courier or confirmed telecopy to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the interest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
          (b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.5(a) hereof, of any event or any report to Noteholders when such notice or report required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then

5


 

such notification or delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
     Section 1.6 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
          The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
     Section 1.7 Successors and Assigns.
          All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by each of the parties hereto shall bind its respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.
     Section 1.8 GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
          THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UNLESS MADE APPLICABLE IN A SUPPLEMENT HERETO, THIS INDENTURE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939 AND SHALL NOT BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.
          SILVERLEAF, ISSUER, BACKUP SERVICER AND INDENTURE TRUSTEE HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY SILVERLEAF, ISSUER, BACKUP SERVICER AND INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE OR EXIST. SILVERLEAF, ISSUER, BACKUP SERVICER AND INDENTURE TRUSTEE ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY SILVERLEAF, ISSUER, BACKUP SERVICER AND INDENTURE TRUSTEE.
     Section 1.9 Legal Holidays.
          In any case where any Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or any other date of which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid; provided that, no penalty interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Payment Date, Stated

6


 

Maturity, or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day.
     Section 1.10 Execution in Counterparts.
          This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which such executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
     Section 1.11 Inspection.
          The Issuer agrees that, on ten Business Days’ prior notice (or one Business Day’s prior notice after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default), it will permit the representatives of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all of the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its designated officers, employees and independent accountants in the presence of such designated officers and employees (and by this provision the Issuer hereby authorizes its independent accountants to discuss with such representatives such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of reviewing or evaluating the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the performance of and compliance with the covenants and undertakings of the Issuer and the Servicer in this Indenture or any of the other documents referred to herein or therein. Any reasonable expense incident to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee at any time or any Noteholder during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, of any right under this Section 1.11 shall be borne by the Issuer. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a duty of the Indenture Trustee to perform such inspection.
     Section 1.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
          The representations, warranties and certifications of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of the Notes hereunder.

          (c) Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be manually executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer. Any Note bearing the signature of an individual who was at the time of execution thereof an authorized Officer of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual ceases to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Note or did not hold such office at the date of such Note. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer Order to the Indenture Trustee directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order.
     Section 2.2 Global Notes.
          Each of the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more book-entry global certificates (the “Global Notes” and each, a “Global Note”) to be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by or on behalf of the Issuer. The Notes sold to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S will initially be represented by one or more temporary Global Notes (each, a “Temporary Regulation S Global Note”). Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent Global Note of the same Class (together with a Temporary Regulation S Global Note, a “Regulation S Global Note”). The Notes sold to U.S. Persons which are Qualified Institutional Buyers will be represented by one or more temporary Global Notes (each, a “Rule 144A Global Note”).

Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued in respect of a Class of Notes pursuant to Section 2.3:

          (a) the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in full force and effect with respect to such Class of Notes;
          (b) the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes with respect to such Notes (including the making of distributions on such Notes) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners;
          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.2 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall control; and
          (d) the rights of the respective Note Owners of a Class of Notes shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the respective Note Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal of, and interest on, the Notes to the Depository Participants
     Section 2.3 Definitive Notes.
          If (a) the Depository advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository with respect to the Global Notes and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Issuer, at its sole option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to any or all Classes of Notes through the Depository, or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of such Class of Notes, advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to such Class of Notes, respectively, through the Depository is no longer in the best interest of such Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall use its best efforts to notify all affected Note Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely in, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Servicer shall recognize Holders of Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes.
     Section 2.4 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
          (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (“Note Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Notes. The Indenture

9


 

Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for purposes of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The names and addresses of all Noteholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Notes shall be registered in the Note Register; provided, however, in no event shall the Note Registrar be required to maintain in the Note Register the names of the individual participants holding Notes through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Noteholder hereof for all purposes of this Indenture and the Note Registrar, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. A Definitive Note is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Note to the Note Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.4. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar shall provide the Indenture Trustee with the names and addresses of any Noteholders.
          (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Definitive Note, subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.4, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Definitive Note being surrendered. Each Note surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and consequently destroyed by the Note Registrar. Each new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 2.4. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
          (c) The issuance of the Notes will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. No resale or transfer of any Note may be made unless such resale or transfer is made in accordance with this Indenture, in minimum denominations of $25,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000, and only if (i) such resale or transfer is in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (as defined in Rule 144A) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and to whom notice is given that such resale or transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, in the case of the registered holder of a Note, as certified by such registered holder (other than the Initial Purchaser and its initial transferees) in a letter in the form of Exhibit B hereto; (ii) such resale or transfer is in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and, in the case of the registered holder of a Note, as certified by such registered holder (other than the Initial Purchaser and its initial transferees) in a letter in the form of Exhibit I hereto; (iii) after the appropriate holding period, such resale or transfer is pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available); or (iv) such resale or transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (iv) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction. Each transferee and each subsequent transferee will be required to notify any subsequent purchaser of such Notes from it of the resale restrictions described

10


 

above. In addition to any certificates delivered by the beneficial owners of Notes represented by beneficial interests in a Global Note, each Person that purchases or otherwise acquires any beneficial interest in a Global Note shall be deemed, by its purchase or other acquisition thereof, to have represented, warranted and agreed as provided in the legends of such Note and shall be deemed to have made the representations, warranties and covenants set forth with respect to a transferee in the letter attached as Exhibit B or Exhibit I hereto, as applicable. Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder. None of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note without registration.
          (d) Global Notes Restrictions. In addition to the applicable provisions of this Section 2.4 and the rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Global Notes shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.4(d).
               (i) Rule 144A Global Note to Temporary Regulation S Global Note During the Restricted Period. If, during the Restricted Period, a Note Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note, such Note Owner may transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with all applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and Clearstream or Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective participants (the “Applicable Procedures”) and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(d)(i). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Depository Participant (and the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be credited with, and the account of the Depository Participant to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certification in the form of Exhibit J hereto given by the Note Owner that is transferring such interest, the Note Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note by the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note having a denomination equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

11


 

               (ii) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note After the Restricted Period. If, after the Restricted Period, a Note Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such holder may transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with all Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Section 2.4(d)(ii). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (A) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Depository Participant (and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be credited with, and the account of the Depository Participant to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (C) a certification in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by the Note Owner that is transferring such interest, the Note Registrar shall instruct the Depository, to reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note having a denomination equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

All actions taken by the Servicer in respect of any Defaulted Timeshare Loans shall, at all times, be carried out in a manner such that none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall, under applicable law, be deemed to be the developer or declarant of any Resort.
               (iv) The Servicer may elect to liquidate at a public or private sale any Defaulted Timeshare Loans or related Timeshare Properties foreclosed upon or otherwise reacquired on behalf of the Indenture Trustee from the obligors of the Defaulted Timeshare Loans. In the event the Servicer elects to so liquidate Defaulted Timeshare Loans or the related Timeshare Properties securing these Defaulted Timeshare Loans, the Originator may bid on such Defaulted Timeshare Loans or related Timeshare Properties so long as the Originator pays an amount at least equal to the net fair market value of each related Timeshare Property, as determined by the Originator in its commercially reasonable judgment, which shall in no event be less than fifteen percent (15%) of the original acquisition price paid for the Timeshare Property by the Obligor under the Defaulted Timeshare Loan.
               (v) The Servicer agrees that it shall require that any Liquidation Proceeds be in the form of cash only.
          (c) The Servicer may not sell any of the Defaulted Timeshare Loans that are included in the Collateral except as specifically permitted by this Indenture.
          (d) For so long as Silverleaf or any of its Affiliates controls the Resorts, Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain or cause the Resorts to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted).
          (e) For so long as Silverleaf or any of its Affiliates controls the Association for a Resort, and Silverleaf or an Affiliate thereof is the manager, the related management contract may not be amended or modified if such amendment or modification is reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the interests of the Noteholder, except with the prior written consent of the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or after obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation.
          (f) In the event any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) attaches to any Timeshare Loan or related collateral from any Person claiming from and through Silverleaf or one of its Affiliates which materially adversely affects the Issuer’s interest in such Timeshare Loan, Silverleaf shall, within the earlier to occur of ten (10) Business Days after such attachment or the respective lienholders’ action to foreclose on such lien, either (a) cause such Lien to be released of record, (b) provide the Indenture Trustee with a bond in accordance with the applicable laws of the state in which the Timeshare Property is located, issued by a corporate surety acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, in an amount and in form

35


 

reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or (c) provide the Indenture Trustee with such other security as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require.
          (g) The Servicer shall: (a) promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of (i) any claim, action or proceeding which may be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Collateral, or any material part thereof, and (ii) any action, suit, proceeding, order or injunction of which Servicer becomes aware after the date hereof pending or threatened against or affecting Servicer or any Affiliate which may be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the Servicer’s ability to service the same; (b) at the request of Indenture Trustee with respect to a claim or action or proceeding which arises from or through the Servicer or one of its Affiliates, appear in and defend, at Servicer’s expense, any such claim, petition or proceeding which would have a material adverse effect on the Timeshare Loans or the Servicer’s ability to service the same; and (c) comply in all respects, and shall cause all Affiliates to comply in all respects, with the terms of any orders imposed on such Person by any governmental authority the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Timeshare Loans or the Servicer’s ability to service the same.
          (h) Except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Servicer (for so long as Silverleaf or any Affiliate thereof is the Servicer hereunder, otherwise Silverleaf in its individual capacity) shall not, and shall not permit the Managing Entity or the Orlando Breeze Resort Club to, encumber, pledge or otherwise grant a lien or security interest in and to the Reservation System (including, without limitation, all hardware, software and data in respect thereof) and furthermore agrees, and shall cause the Managing Entity and the Orlando Breeze Resort Club, to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Reservation System operational, not to dispose of the same and to allow the members of each Association the use of, and access to, the Reservation System in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement and the Orlando Breeze Management Agreement, as applicable.
          (i) For so long as Silverleaf or any Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, it shall comply in all material respects with the Collection Policy in effect on the Closing Date (or as amended from time to time with the consent of the holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes if such amendment is reasonably likely to have material adverse affect on the interests of the Noteholders or after obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation) and with the terms of the Timeshare Loans.

               (v) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this Indenture shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such breach is not remedied within 30 days (or if the Servicer shall have provided evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such breach cannot be cured in the 30-day period and that it is diligently pursuing a cure, 60 days) after the earlier of (x) the Servicer first acquiring Knowledge thereof and (y) the Indenture Trustee’s giving written notice thereof to the Servicer;

               (vii) the commencement by the Servicer of a voluntary case or proceeding; under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by either to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Servicer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or similar official of the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the

37

               (viii) a Sequential Pay Event that remains uncured for one Due Period; or
               (ix) so long as Silverleaf is the Servicer, any failure of the Guarantor to make a payment due under the Guaranty.
          If any Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and not been waived hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon notice from Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes shall, terminate on behalf of the Noteholders, by notice in writing to the Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, as Servicer under this Indenture.
          Unless consented to by the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes, the Issuer may not waive any Servicer Event of Default.
          (b) Replacement of Servicer. From and after the receipt by the Servicer of such written termination notice or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Indenture, whether with respect to the Timeshare Loans or otherwise, shall, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall terminate the Backup Servicing Agreement and be the successor Servicer hereunder and the duties and obligations of the Servicer shall terminate. The Servicer shall perform such actions as are reasonably necessary to assist the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer in such transfer. If the Servicer fails to undertake such action as is reasonably necessary to effectuate such a transfer, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.4, it shall promptly (and, in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination from the Indenture Trustee) provide the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer or their respective designees (with reasonable costs being borne by the Servicer) with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) reasonably requested by it to enable the Indenture Trustee to assume the Servicer’s functions hereunder, and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in affecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Indenture Trustee or its designee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time or thereafter be received by it with respect to the Timeshare Loans (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Indenture on or prior to the date of such termination). The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to renegotiate the Servicing Fee; provided, however, no change to the Servicing Fee may be made unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received the written consent of Holders representing at least

38


 

66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or Silverleaf be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to assume the obligations of Servicer under this Indenture.
          The successor servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer, (or from the Collateral to the extent set forth in Section 3.4(a)(ii), 3.4(d)(ii) or Section 6.6(a)(ii) hereof) if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder for all Servicer Termination Costs.
          The successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party involved in this transaction that were incurred by the prior Servicer and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer including the original Servicer.
          Notwithstanding anything contained in the Indenture to the contrary, any successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Timeshare Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”), without any audit or other examination thereof, and such successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that each successor Servicer shall agree to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the successor Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Indenture Trustee, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors and to recover its costs thereby.
          The Indenture Trustee may appoint an Affiliate as the successor Servicer and the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) related to the Indenture Trustee shall apply to such Affiliate.
          (c) Any successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee, shall not be deemed to be in default or to have breached its duties as successor Servicer hereunder if the predecessor Servicer shall fail to deliver any required deposit to the Collection Account or

39


 

otherwise fail to cooperate with, or take any actions required by such successor Servicer related to the transfer of servicing hereunder.
     Section 5.5 Accountings; Statements and Reports.
          (a) Monthly Servicer Report. Not later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agency, the Backup Servicer, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser, a report (the “Monthly Servicer Report”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, detailing certain activity relating to the Timeshare Loans. The Monthly Servicer Report shall be completed with the information specified therein for the related Due Period and shall contain such other information (including, without limitation, amounts, if any, due under the Guaranty on the next Payment Date) as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Guarantor or the Initial Purchaser in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Determination Date. Each such Monthly Servicer Report shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer in the form of Exhibit E hereto, certifying the accuracy of the computations reflected in such Monthly Servicer Report.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agency and the Initial Purchaser, an Officer’s Certificate on or before April 30 of each year commencing in 2009: (x) to the effect that a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year, and of its performance under this Indenture during such period has been made under the supervision of the officers executing such Officer’s Certificate with a view to determining whether during such period, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the Servicer had performed and observed all of its obligations under this Indenture, and either (A) stating that based on such review, no Servicer Event of Default is known to have occurred and is continuing, or (B) if such a Servicer Event of Default is known to have occurred and is continuing, specifying such Servicer Event of Default and the nature and status thereof.
          (c) Annual Accountants’ Reports. On or before each April 30 of each year commencing in 2009, the Servicer (unless the Indenture Trustee is the Servicer) shall (i) cause a firm of independent public accountants to furnish a certificate or statement (and the Servicer shall provide a copy of such certificate or statement to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agency and the Initial Purchaser), to the effect that (1) such firm has examined and audited the Servicer’s servicing controls and procedures for the previous calendar year and that such independent public accountants have examined certain documents and records (including computer records) and servicing procedures of the Servicer relating to the Timeshare Loans, (2) they have examined the most recent Monthly Servicer Report prepared by the Servicer and three other Monthly Servicer Reports chosen at random by such firm and compared such Monthly Servicer Reports with the information contained in such documents and records, (3) their examination included such tests and procedures as they considered necessary in the circumstances, (4) their examinations and comparisons described under clauses (1) and (2) above disclosed no exceptions which, in their opinion, were material, relating to such Timeshare Loans or such Monthly Servicer Reports, or if any such exceptions were disclosed thereby, setting forth such exceptions which, in their opinion, were material, (5) on the basis of such examinations and comparison,

40


 

such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer has, during the relevant period, serviced the Timeshare Loans in compliance with this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents in all material respects and that such documents and records have been maintained in accordance with this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents in all material respects, except in each case for (A) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (B) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such written report. The report will also indicate that such firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In the event such independent public accountants require the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 5.5(c), the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.
          (d) Report on Proceedings and Servicer Event of Default. (i) Promptly upon a Responsible Officer of the Servicer’s obtaining Knowledge of any proposed or pending investigation of it by any Governmental Authority or any court or administrative proceeding which involves or is reasonably likely to involve the possibility of materially and adversely affecting the properties, business, prospects, profits or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer and its subsidiaries, as a whole, the Servicer shall send written notice specifying the nature of such investigation or proceeding and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and evaluating its merits, or (ii) immediately upon obtaining Knowledge of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes a Servicer Event of Default, the Servicer shall send written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Initial Purchaser describing its nature and period of existence and what action the Servicer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
     Section 5.6 Records.
          The Servicer shall maintain all data for which it is responsible (including, without limitation, computerized tapes or disks) relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Timeshare Loans (which data and records shall be clearly marked to reflect that the Timeshare Loans have been Granted to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and constitute part of the Collateral) at the address specified in Section 13.3 hereof or, upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, at such other place where any Servicing Officer of the Servicer is located (or upon 24 hours’ written notice if an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred).
     Section 5.7 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
          The Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance with respect to the Servicer in such form and in amounts as is customary for institutions acting as custodian of funds in respect of timeshare loans or receivables on behalf of institutional investors; provided that such insurance shall be in a

41


 

minimum amount of $1,000,000 per policy and shall name the Indenture Trustee as an additional insured. No provision of this Section 5.7 requiring such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Indenture. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Upon a request of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, a certification evidencing coverage under such fidelity bond and the errors and omissions insurance. Any such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy shall not be canceled or modified in a materially adverse manner without ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.
     Section 5.8 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
          (a) The Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agency of any merger or consolidation of the Servicer. The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchise as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture or any of the Timeshare Loans and to perform its duties under this indenture.
          (b) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person (i) is a company whose business includes the servicing of assets similar to the Timeshare Loans and shall be authorized to lawfully transact business in the state or states in which the related Timeshare Properties it is to service are situated; (ii) is a U.S. Person, and (iii) delivers to the Indenture Trustee (1) an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, which contains an assumption by such successor entity of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party and (2) an opinion of counsel as to the enforceability of such agreement; provided, further, that the Rating Agency shall have confirmed that such action will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of any rating assigned to the Class of Notes.
     Section 5.9 Sub-Servicing.
          (a) The Servicer may enter into one or more sub-servicing agreements with a sub-servicer upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer may reasonably agree and as are not inconsistent with this Indenture. References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Timeshare Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a

42


 

sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. The Servicer shall be solely responsible for any sub-servicing fees due and payable to such sub-servicer.
          (b) Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the servicing and administering of the Timeshare Loans in accordance with this Indenture, without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Timeshare Loans.
     Section 5.10 Servicer Resignation.
          The Servicer shall not resign from the duties and obligations hereby imposed on it under this Indenture unless and until (i) a successor servicer, acceptable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes, enters into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, which contains an assumption by such successor servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Indenture from and after the date of assumption and (ii) the ratings of the Notes will not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn (as evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agency to the Indenture Trustee to such effect, which letter shall be obtained at the expense of the Servicer, without right of reimbursement). Upon such resignation, the Servicer shall comply with Section 5.4(b) hereunder.
          Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph or elsewhere in this Indenture, or as provided with respect to the survival of indemnifications herein, the duties and obligations of a Servicer under this Indenture shall continue until this Agreement shall have been terminated as provided herein. The duties and obligations of a Servicer hereunder shall survive the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of any right or remedy under this Indenture or the enforcement by the Indenture Trustee of any provision of this Indenture.

Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
     Section 5.13 No Offset.
          Prior to the termination of this Indenture, the obligations of Servicer under this Indenture shall not be subject to any defense, counterclaim or right of offset which the Servicer has or may have against the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder, whether in respect of this Indenture, any Timeshare Loan or otherwise.

The Servicer shall immediately notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee if it has Knowledge of a claim made by a third party with respect to the Timeshare Loans, and, if such claim relates to the servicing of the Timeshare Loans by the Servicer, the Servicer shall assume, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection herewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it. In addition, so long as Silverleaf or any Affiliate thereof acts as Servicer, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including any loss, liability or expense directly or

44


 

indirectly incurred (regardless of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer) to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arose of out of or was imposed on the Indenture Trustee as a result of any penalty or other cost imposed by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority.

ARTICLE VI
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
     Section 6.1 Events of Default.
          “Event of Default” wherever used herein with respect to Notes, means any one of the following events:
          (a) a default in the making of Interest Distribution Amounts, Principal Distribution Amounts, Deferred Interest Amounts or any other payments in respect of any Note when such become due and payable, and continuance of such default for five (5) Business Days; or
          (b) failure by Silverleaf, in its capacity as the Originator to purchase any Defective Timeshare Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Loan for a Defective Timeshare Loan within the specified time period; or
          (c) a non-monetary default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the Issuer in this Indenture (other than a covenant dealing with a default in the performance of which or the breach of which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section 6.1), the continuance of such default or breach for a period of 30 days (or if the Issuer shall have provided evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such covenant cannot be cured in the 30-day period and that it is diligently pursuing a cure, 60 days) after the earlier of (x) the Issuer first acquiring Knowledge thereof, and (y) the Indenture Trustee’s giving written notice thereof to the Issuer; or
          (d) if any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such breach is not remedied within 30 days (or if the Issuer shall have provided evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such representation or warranty cannot be cured in the 30-day period and that it is diligently pursuing a cure, 60 days) after the earlier of (x) the Issuer first acquiring Knowledge thereof, and (y) the Indenture Trustee’s giving written notice thereof to the Issuer;
          (e) a failure by the Guarantor to make a payment when due under the Guaranty; or
          (f) the entry by a court having jurisdiction over the Issuer of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of or in respect of the Issuer under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,

46


 

liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official of the Issuer, or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
          (g) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by either to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by the Issuer of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by the Issuer to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Issuer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the Issuer’s failure to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Issuer in furtherance of any such action; or
          (h) the Issuer becoming subject to registration as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or
          (i) the impairment of the validity of any security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral in any material respect, except as expressly permitted hereunder, or the creation of any material encumbrance on or with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof not otherwise permitted, which is not stayed or released within ten (10) days of the Issuer having Knowledge of its creation; or
          (j) (A) the occurrence and continuance of the Servicer Event of Default set forth under Section 5.4(a)(iii) hereof or (B) the occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Event of Default (other than as described in the immediately preceding clause (A)) that is uncured for two consecutive Due Periods; or
          (k) on any Payment Date, after application of all Available Funds and any amounts paid pursuant to the Guaranty, the sum of the Aggregate Loan Balance and the amount on deposit in the General Reserve Account is less than the aggregate Outstanding Note Balance; or
          (l) failure by the Originator as the Servicer to maintain a perfected, first priority ownership interest (and backup security interest) in the Timeshare Loans in favor of the Issuer.
          For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of principal and Deferred Interest Amounts required to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture is generally limited to the Available Funds in the Collection Account and any amounts due under the Guaranty. Therefore, the failure to pay principal and Deferred Interest Amounts on the Notes generally will not result in the occurrence of an Event of Default until the Stated Maturity.

     Section 6.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
          (a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, if (i) such Event of Default of the kind specified in Section 6.1(f) or Section 6.1(g) above occurs, (ii) an Event of Default of the kind specified in Section 6.1(a) above occurs and either (x) the Aggregate Loan Balance of the Timeshare Loans is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance due to a default on one or more of the Timeshare Loans or (y) such Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) above continues for two consecutive Payment Dates, then each Class of Notes shall automatically become due and payable at its Outstanding Note Balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
          (b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, if such Event of Default is of the kind specified in Section 6.1(a) above (other than as described in Section 6.2(a) above), the Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of the most senior Class of Notes then Outstanding (and, if payment of interest and principal on the most senior Class of Notes then Outstanding is current, the consent of the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of the most senior Class of Notes which has failed to receive one or more payments of interest or principal), declare each Class of Notes to be immediately due and payable at its Outstanding Note Balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
          (c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, if such Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in Sections 6.2(a) or (b) above) shall occur and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of the most senior Class of Notes then Outstanding, declare each Class of Notes to be immediately due and payable at its outstanding Note Balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
          (d) Upon any such declaration or automatic acceleration, the Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly send a notice of any declaration or automatic acceleration to the Rating Agency.
          (e) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Note Balance of the most senior Class Outstanding (and, if the consent of another Class shall have been required for such declaration, Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Note Balance of such Class) by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if-
               (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

48


 

  (A)   all principal due on any Class of Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the date when the same first became due until the date of payment or deposit,
 
  (B)   all interest due with respect to any Class of Notes and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest from the date when the same first became due until the date of payment or deposit at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Note Rate, and
 
  (C)   all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, its agents and counsel;
          and
               (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the Outstanding Note Balance of each Class of Notes which became due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13 hereof.
          (f) An automatic acceleration under Section 6.2(a) may only be rescinded and annulled by Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes then Outstanding.
          (g) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(d) and (e) above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee shall have commenced making payments as described in Section 6.6, no acceleration may be rescinded or annulled and (ii) no rescission shall affect any subsequent Events of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.
     Section 6.3 Remedies.
          (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has Knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall immediately give notice to each Noteholder as set forth in Section 7.2 and shall solicit such Noteholders for advice. The Indenture Trustee shall then take such action as so directed by the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes then Outstanding subject to the provisions of this Indenture.
          (b) Following any acceleration of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral as are available to secured parties under the UCC or other applicable law, subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (d) below and provided such action is not inconsistent with any other provision of

               (ii) Subject to the provisions set forth herein, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion, and at the instruction of the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes then outstanding shall, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate judicial or other proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer, the Rating Agency, the Servicer and the Noteholders of any such action.
          (d) If the Indenture Trustee shall have received instructions, within 45 days from the date notice pursuant to Section 6.3(a) is first given, from Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes then Outstanding that such Persons approve of or request the liquidation of all of the Timeshare Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall to the extent lawful, promptly sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all of the Timeshare Loans in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids from third parties including any Noteholder (other than Silverleaf or any Affiliates thereof), such bids to be approved by the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes then Outstanding. The Indenture Trustee may obtain a prior determination from any conservator, receiver or liquidator of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale, disposition or liquidation are commercially reasonable.

     Section 6.7 Limitation on Suits.
          No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

53


 

          (a) there is a continuing Event of Default and such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
               (i) such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity (which may be in the form of written assurances) against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
               (ii) the Indenture Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
               (iii) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 30-day period by the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes Outstanding;
               (iv) it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the ratable benefit of all such Noteholders. It is further understood and intended that so long as any portion of the Notes remains Outstanding, the Servicer shall not have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to its Indenture (other than for the enforcement of Section 3.4 hereof) or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee (including without limitation a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), or for any other remedy hereunder. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be construed as limiting the rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to petition a court for the removal of a Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.8 hereof.
     Section 6.8 Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, other than the provisions hereof limiting the right to recover amounts due on the Notes to recoveries from the property comprising the Collateral, the Holder of any Note shall have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, and interest on, such Note as such payments of principal and interest become due, including on the Stated Maturity, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.
     Section 6.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
          If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such noteholder, then and, in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
          Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 2.5 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
     Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
          No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and’ as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:
               (i) no such direction shall be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;
               (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to follow any such direction which the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes might result in any personal liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee for which the Indenture Trustee is not adequately indemnified; and
               (iii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with any such direction; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall give notice of any such action to each Noteholder.
     Section 6.13 Waiver of Events of Default.
          (a) Unless a Default Acceleration Event shall have occurred, the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes may, by one or more instruments in writing, waive any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a continuing Event of Default:

               (v) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of the Collateral shall be commercially reasonable.

     Section 6.17 Action on Notes.
          The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

          (b) If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, or if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall be legally unable to act, fails to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Indenture, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Issuer or Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes may direct the Issuer to remove the Indenture Trustee.

The predecessor Indenture Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the successor Indenture Trustee or its custodian any Transaction Documents and statements held by it or its custodian hereunder; and the Servicer and the Issuer and the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for the full and certain vesting and confirmation in the successor Indenture Trustee of all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and each successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Collateral hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same allocated trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates; but, on request of the Issuer or any successor Indenture Trustee, such retiring Indenture Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes of that or those to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates.

63


 

          Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.
          (c) No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.9 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof.
          (d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section 7.9, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to each Noteholder at its address as shown in the Note Register.

     Section 7.11 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.
          (a) At any time or times for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located or in which any action of the Indenture Trustee may be required to be performed or taken, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of each Class of Notes, by an instrument in writing signed by it or them, may appoint, at the reasonable expense of the Issuer and the Servicer, one or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any part of the Collateral, to the full extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee to act. Notwithstanding the appointment of any separate or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall remain obligated and liable for the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
          (b) The Indenture Trustee and, at the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully confirming such title, rights, or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they

64


 

shall be vested with such title to the Collateral or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Indenture Trustee subject to all the terms of this Indenture, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Indenture Trustee its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its name. In any case any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Collateral and all assets, property, rights, power duties and obligations and duties of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.
          (c) All provisions of this Indenture which are for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.11.

          If at any time, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to such law, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional trustee or separate trustee.

65


 

          (e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Indenture Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to.
          (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.11, the powers of any additional trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Indenture Trustee hereunder.
     Section 7.12 Paying Agent and Note Registrar Rights.
          So long as the Indenture Trustee is the Paying Agent and Note Registrar, the Paying Agent and Note Registrar shall be entitled to the rights, benefits and immunities of the Indenture Trustee as set forth in Article VII to the same extent and as fully as though named in place of the Indenture Trustee herein.

The Indenture Trustee is authorized and directed to act as titleholder of the Lockbox Account in accordance with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement for the benefit of the Noteholders with interests in the funds on deposit in such accounts. In addition, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into, execute, deliver and perform under, each of the applicable Transaction Documents and the Depository Agreement. The Lockbox Bank will be required to transfer and will be permitted to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement.

          The Indenture Trustee will maintain in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Indenture Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Noteholders of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Issuer or the Servicer with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

               (iii) publish notice of, or protect the validity of, any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture and perfect the security interest contemplated hereby in favor of the Indenture Trustee in each of the Timeshare Loans and all other property included in the Collateral; provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to cause the recordation of the Indenture Trustee’s name as Lien holder on the related title documents for the Timeshare Properties so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
               (iv) enforce or cause the Servicer to enforce any of the Timeshare Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard, provided, however, the Issuer will not cause the Servicer to obtain on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, any Timeshare Property or to take any actions with respect to any property the result of which would adversely affect the interests of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders (including, but not limited to, actions which would cause the Indenture Trustee or the related Noteholders to be considered a holder of title, mortgagee-in-possession, or otherwise, or an “owner” or “operator” of Property not in compliance with applicable environmental statutes); and

become due thereunder) against the claims of all Persons and parties other than as permitted hereunder.
          (b) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture or the Custodial Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.
          (c) The Issuer may contract with or otherwise obtain the assistance of other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer, provided, however that no appointment of such Person shall relieve the Issuer of its duties and obligations hereunder.

70


 

create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance of the Issuer with the foregoing covenants, and provided, further, that the duty of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to execute any instrument required pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall arise only if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, has Knowledge of any failure of the Issuer to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.5.

     (ii) The Originator hereby acknowledges that each sale, contribution and conveyance to the Issuer hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Originator.
          (b) Reserved.
          (c) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Issuer hereby directs the Originator and the Originator hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securitization Custodian, all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Securitization Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.
          (d) Collections. The Originator shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of the Timeshare Loans received by the Originator or any of its Affiliates on and after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account.

Issuer or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Issuer, the Originator or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.
          (f) Purchase Price/Capital Contribution. The price paid for Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral which are Sold hereunder shall be the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price with respect thereto. Such Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price shall be paid by means of an immediate cash payment to the Originator by wire transfer on the applicable conveyance date to an account designated by the Originator on or before such conveyance date or by means of proper accounting entries being entered upon the accounts and records of the Originator and the Issuer on the applicable conveyance date. To the extent that the cash amount received for any Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral Sold by the Originator to the Issuer hereunder is less than the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price of such property at the time of the applicable Sale, the shortfall shall be deemed to have been Contributed by the Originator to the capital of the Issuer on the applicable conveyance date.
          (g) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. Upon the Originator’s Sale or Contribution of the Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral to the Issuer, the Originator shall deliver a Schedule of Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule III and made a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede any prior schedules so delivered.
     SECTION 3. Intended Characterization, Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the transfers of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale and/or contribution and an absolute assignment by the Originator to the Issuer and not a loan secured by the Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale and/or contribution, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Originator shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Issuer as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets specified in Section 2 hereof and that with respect to such conveyance, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the

3


 

principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof.
          The characterization of the Originator as “debtor” and the Issuer as “secured party” in any financing statement required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this transaction be treated as a sale and/or contribution to the Issuer of such Originator’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets.
          Each of the Originator, the Issuer and any of their Affiliates hereby agrees to make the appropriate entries in its general accounting records and to indicate that the Timeshare Loans have been transferred to the Issuer.
     SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

With respect to any Defaulted Timeshare Loan in the Timeshare Loan Pool, on any date, the Originator shall have the option, but not the obligation, to either (i) purchase the Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Default Purchase Price for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any; provided, however, that the option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan or to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to the Optional Purchase Limit; provided, further, that the Originator’s option to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to

13


 

the Optional Substitution Limit. If the Originator shall purchase Defaulted Timeshare Loans or substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for Defaulted Timeshare Loans as provided herein, the Originator shall deposit the related Default Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount, as applicable, in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.5(e) under the Indenture. The Originator may irrevocably waive its option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan or substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan by delivering or causing to be delivered to the Securitization Indenture Trustee a Waiver Letter in the form of Exhibit G attached to the Indenture. The holder or holders of Notes representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance may at any time direct the Securitization Indenture Trustee, in connection with any subsequent purchases of Defaulted Timeshare Loans by the Originator, to require the Originator to conduct a public auction in respect of any such Defaulted Timeshare Loan. The Originator may bid on any such Defaulted Timeshare Loan during such auction, provided that no such bid may be lower than fifteen percent (15%) of the original acquisition price paid for the Timeshare Property by the Obligor under such Defaulted Timeshare Loan. Publication of notice of such auction in a newspaper published daily in Dallas, Texas, shall be sufficient notice of such auction.
          (d) Optional Purchase of Force Majeure Loans. If a Force Majeure Event occurs at a Resort, the Originator shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the related Force Majeure Loans in the Timeshare Loan Pool, so long as such Timeshare Loans have not become Defaulted Timeshare Loans. The Originator will have the option to purchase a Force Majeure Loan at the Force Majeure Purchase Price; provided, however, that (i) the Originators option to purchase a Force Majeure Loan is limited on any date to the Force Majeure Purchase Limit and (ii) the Originator shall have the right to exercise such purchase option for a Force Majeure Loan only if the related Force Majeure Purchase Price equals or exceeds the Loan Balance of such Force Majeure Loan as of the date of such purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
          (e) Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. The Issuer hereby directs and Originator hereby agrees to remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in respect of Repurchase Prices, Default Purchase Prices, Force Majeure Purchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts payable during the related Due Period in immediately available funds to the Securitization Indenture Trustee to be deposited in the Collection Account on the related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is substituted pursuant to Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.
          (f) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Issuer hereby directs and Originator hereby agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased, purchased or substituted to provide the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee with an electronic supplement to Schedule III hereto and the Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal, substitution and/or other addition of such Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.

14


 

          (g) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On the related Transfer Date, the Issuer hereby directs and Originator hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the Timeshare Loan Files of the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Securitization Indenture Trustee or to the Securitization Custodian, at the direction of the Securitization Indenture Trustee, on the related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of the Securitization Indenture. As of such related Transfer Date, Originator does hereby transfer, assign, sell, contribute and grant to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Issuer on such Transfer Date, (ii) the Receivables in respect of the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all Related Security in respect of such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, and (v) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing. Upon such sale and/or contribution, the ownership of each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon since the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 6(g) shall immediately vest in the Issuer, its successors and assigns. Originator shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than consolidated financial and federal and state income tax reporting. Originator agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
          (h) Officer’s Certificate. Originator shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify in writing to the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Securitization Custodian, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Securitization Servicer.
          (i) Release. In connection with any repurchase, purchase or substitution of one or more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section 6, the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment presented to it by Originator, in each case, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Originator or its designee (or to evidence the vesting in such Person of) the legal and beneficial ownership of such released Timeshare Loans. The Issuer shall cause the Securitization Indenture Trustee to cause the Securitization Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to Originator or its designee and the Securitization Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to Originator or its designee.
          (j) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of Originator contained in Section 6(a) to cure a material breach, or to repurchase or substitute related Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of Originator to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 shall constitute the sole remedies available to the Issuer or its subsequent assignees for the breaches of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 5, and such remedies are not intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to Originator.

15

     (ii) It shall preserve and maintain for itself its existence (corporate or otherwise), rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its organization and except where the failure to so preserve and maintain will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity of enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.

     (viii) Upon the discovery or receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of Originator of a breach of any of its representations or warranties and covenants contained herein, Originator shall promptly disclose to the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee, in reasonable detail, the nature of such breach.

     (xii) The Originator authorizes the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee to file continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Timeshare Loans and all payments made with regard to the related Timeshare Loans without the signature of the Originator where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Issuer confirms that it is not its present intention to file a photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement as a financing statement, but reserves the right to do so if, in its good faith determination, there is at such time no reasonable alternative remaining to it.
     (xiii) The Originator shall not prepare any financial statements or other statements (including any tax filings) which shall account for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than as the sale of, or a capital contribution of, the Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral by the Originator to the Issuer.

17


 

the representations and warranties and covenants of Originator under Section 5 hereof (the “Indemnified Amounts”) excluding, however (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party; (ii) any recourse for any uncollectible Timeshare Loan not related to a breach of representation or warranty; (iii) recourse to Originator for a related Defective Timeshare Loan so long as the same is cured, substituted or repurchased pursuant to Section 6 hereof; or (iv) income or similar taxes by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the transfer of the Timeshare Loans. The parties hereto shall (A) promptly notify the other parties hereto, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, and the Initial Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Timeshare Loans, and relating to (1) the failure by Originator to perform its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (2) a breach of Originator’s representations, covenants or warranties contained in this Agreement, (B) assume (with the consent of the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders or the Initial Purchaser, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including legal counsel fees and (C) promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment, order or decree which may be entered against it or the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders or the Initial Purchaser in respect of such claim.

LOAN SALE AGREEMENT
          This LOAN SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 1, 2008, is among Silverleaf Finance IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), Silverleaf Finance VI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), Silverleaf Resorts, Inc., a Texas corporation, in its capacity as servicer (the “Servicer”) and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
W I T N E S S E T H:
          WHEREAS, the Purchaser has been established as a bankruptcy-remote entity for the purpose of acquiring (i) a certain pool of timeshare loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) each evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a first Mortgage on a fractional fee simple timeshare interest in a Unit, (ii) a pool of timeshare loans (the “Oak N’ Spruce Loans”), each evidenced by a purchase and finance agreement (a “Finance Agreement”) for the purchase of a certificate of beneficial interest in the Oak N’ Spruce Resort Trust evidencing the right of the owner thereof to use and occupy a fixed unit at Oak N’ Spruce Resort at a fixed period of time (the Mortgage Loans and Oak N’ Spruce Loans, together, the “Timeshare Loans”), (iii) any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and (iv) all Related Security in respect of the Timeshare Loans. A “Timeshare Property” shall consist of (i) in the case of a Timeshare Loan, a fractional fee simple timeshare interest in a residential unit (a residential timeshare unit herein referred to as a “Unit”) in a Resort or (ii) in the case of an Oak N’ Spruce Loan, a certificate of beneficial interest (“Oak N’ Spruce Certificate”) in the Oak N’ Spruce Resort Trust. The Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Mortgage Note, any Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral, collectively, are the “Transferred Assets.”
          WHEREAS, on June 6, 2008 (the “Closing Date”) and on each Transfer Date, the Purchaser intends to pledge such Transferred Assets acquired thereby to Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Securitization Indenture Trustee”), custodian (in such capacity, the “Securitization Custodian”) and backup servicer, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 1, 2008 (the “Securitization Indenture”), by and among the Purchaser, the Servicer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee, to secure the Purchaser’s (i) 6.222% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class A Notes, (ii) 7.708% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class B Notes, (iii) 8.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class C Notes, (iv) 8.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class D Notes, (v) 8.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class E Notes, (vi) 8.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class F Notes, and (vii) 8.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2008-A, Class G Notes (collectively, the “Securitization Notes”);
          WHEREAS, proceeds from the sale of the Securitization Notes will be used by the Purchaser, in part, to (i) pay the Seller the purchase price for the Timeshare Loans and (ii) pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Securitization Notes.
          WHEREAS, the Seller will derive an economic benefit from the transfer hereunder of the Timeshare Loans to the Purchaser.

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
               SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in “Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A.
               SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans.
                    (a) Initial Timeshare Loans.
(i) Effective as of the Closing Date, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, subsection (f) below), the Seller hereby sells (“Sells,” “Sale” or “Sold”) and otherwise transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Purchaser, without recourse (except for Defective Timeshare Loans to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase and otherwise acquires, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Timeshare Loans included on the schedule delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date (as further described in subsection (g) below), together with the Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto. In connection with the initial transfer, Seller shall transfer or cause the deposit into the Lockbox Account of all amounts received by the Seller on account of such Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral hereunder due on and after the Initial Cut-Off Date within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof.
(ii) The Seller hereby acknowledges that each sale and conveyance to the Purchaser hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Seller.
                    (b) [Intentionally Omitted].
                    (c) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Purchaser hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securitization Custodian all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.
                    (d) Collections. The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of the Timeshare Loans received by the Seller or any of its Affiliates on and after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account.
                    (e) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Purchaser nor any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Purchaser or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any

2


 

Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Purchaser, the Seller or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.
                    (f) Purchase Price. The price paid for Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral which are Sold hereunder shall be the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price with respect thereto. Such Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price shall be paid by means of an immediate cash payment to the Seller by wire transfer on the applicable conveyance date to an account designated by the Seller on or before such conveyance date.
                    (g) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. Upon the Seller’s Sale of the Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral to the Purchaser, the Seller shall deliver a Schedule of Timeshare Loans, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule III and made a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede any prior schedules so delivered.
               SECTION 3. Intended Characterization, Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the transfers of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale and an absolute assignment by the Seller to the Purchaser and not a loan secured by the Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Purchaser as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets specified in Section 2 hereof and that with respect to such conveyance, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof.

Each of the Seller and the Servicer acknowledges that it has been advised that the Purchaser intends to pledge, transfer, assign and convey all of its right, title and interest in and to each Timeshare Loan and its rights and remedies under this Agreement to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders. The Seller and the Servicer agree that, upon any such assignment, the Securitization Indenture Trustee may enforce directly, without joinder of the Purchaser (but subject to any defense that Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, may have under this Agreement) all rights and remedies hereunder.

                    (e) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5 which are made to the Servicer’s Knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Purchaser or any subsequent assignee thereof, then notwithstanding such lack of Knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such representation or warranty was made (without regard to any Knowledge qualifiers), such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described in Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) below.
               SECTION 6. Repurchases and Substitutions.
                    (a) Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by the Servicer of a breach of any of its respective representations and warranties (as of the date on which such representation or warranty was made) or covenants in Section 5 which materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Purchaser or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser therein, the Servicer shall, within 60 days of receipt of such notice, cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or covenant to be breached or either (i) repurchase the Purchaser’s or its assignee’s interest in such related defective Timeshare Loan (the “Defective Timeshare Loan”) from the Purchaser or its assignee at the Repurchase Price or (ii) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of the representation contained in clause (d)(ii) in Schedule I hereto, the Servicer shall either (i) repurchase the Issuer’s or its assignee’s interest in the related Defective Timeshare Loan or (ii) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any, within 30 days after the Closing Date.
                    (b) Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. The Purchaser hereby directs and the Servicer hereby agrees to remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in respect of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts payable during the related Due Period in immediately available funds to the Securitization Indenture Trustee to be deposited in the Collection Account on the related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of the Securitization Indenture. In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is substituted pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.
                    (c) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Purchaser hereby directs and the Servicer hereby agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased or substituted to provide the Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture Trustee with an electronic supplement to Schedule III hereto and the Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal or substitution of such Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.
                    (d) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On the related Transfer Date, the Purchaser hereby directs and the Servicer hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the Timeshare Loan Files of the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Securitization

15


 

Indenture Trustee or to the Securitization Custodian, at the direction of the Securitization Indenture Trustee, on the related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of the Securitization Indenture. As of such related Transfer Date, the Servicer does hereby transfer, assign, sell and grant to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Servicer’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Purchaser on such Transfer Date, (ii) the Receivables in respect of the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all Related Security in respect of such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, and (v) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing. Upon such sale, the ownership of each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon since the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 6(d) shall immediately vest in the Purchaser, its successors and assigns. The Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than consolidated financial and federal and state income tax reporting. The Servicer agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
                    (e) Officer’s Certificate. The Servicer shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify in writing to the Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Securitization Custodian, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Servicer.
                    (f) Release. In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section 6, the Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment presented to it by the Servicer, in each case, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee (or to evidence the vesting in such Person of) the legal and beneficial ownership of such released Timeshare Loans. The Purchaser shall cause the Securitization Indenture Trustee to cause the Securitization Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to Servicer or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to itself or its designee.
                    (g) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Servicer contained in Section 6(a) to cure a material breach, or to repurchase or substitute related Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of the Servicer to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 shall constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser or its subsequent assignees for the breaches of any of its representations or warranties of the Servicer contained in Section 5, and such remedies are not intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to the Servicer.
               SECTION 7. Additional Covenants of the Seller and the Servicer.

               SECTION 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Purchaser, the Securitization Indenture Trustee or any assignee thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
               SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns. Any assignee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to directly enforce this Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Servicer may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and any assignee thereof. The Purchaser may, and intends to, assign all of its rights to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders, and each of the Seller and the Servicer consents to any such assignments. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until its termination; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to Section 5, and the cure, repurchase or substitution and indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to the Securitization Indenture, but such rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture Trustee.

The Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to the Securitization Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies any such proposed modifications, amendments or waivers. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No consent to or demand by the Seller or Servicer in any case shall, in itself, entitle it to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Each of the Seller and the Servicer acknowledges that in connection with the intended assignment by the Purchaser of all of its right, title and interest in and to each Timeshare Loan to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders, the Purchaser intends to issue the Notes, the proceeds of which will be used by the Purchaser, in part, to purchase the Timeshare Loans hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Governmental Authority determines that the

22


 

Purchaser may not purchase or acquire Timeshare Loans, the transactions evidenced hereby shall constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable intent of the parties hereto, and the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser as of the date hereof, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Timeshare Loans and the related property as described in Section 2 hereof.

     15. Ratification and Confirmation. Except as herein expressly amended, Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, assumes and agrees to be bound by all of representations, warranties, statements, covenants and agreements set forth in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower agrees to pay the Loan and all related expenses, as and when due and payable in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to observe and perform the Obligations, and do all things necessary which are not prohibited by law to prevent the occurrence of any Event of Default. In addition, to further secure, and to evidence and confirm the securing of, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower of the Loan and all of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants to Lender, and hereby confirms or reaffirm the prior granting to Lender of, a continuing first priority Lien, mortgage and security interest in and to all of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter acquired. Also, as provided in the Loan Documents, the Loan is and shall be further secured by the Liens and security interests in favor of Lender in the properties and interests relating to Additional Eligible Resorts, which now or hereafter serve as collateral security for any Obligations. On the date of this Amendment and thereafter upon satisfaction of the requirements for approval by Lender of Additional Eligible Resorts, Borrower shall record, or cause to be recorded, such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, assignments, pledges, security agreements and UCC Financing Statements in the appropriate public records of the state in which each Resort is located to further evidence and perfect the Lender’s Lien on the Collateral. Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered by its Affiliates, such mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, assignments, pledges, security agreements and UCC Financing Statements as Lender may deem necessary to further evidence and perfect the Lender’s Lien on the Collateral.
     16. Estoppel. The Loan constitutes valuable consideration to the Borrower, which consideration is uninterrupted and continuous since the dates on which the Loan was first made. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents and the Loan modifications and transactions provided for or contemplated hereunder or thereunder, shall in no way adversely affect the Lien or perfection or priority of any Lien of Lender as of the date hereof in and to any Collateral, and are not intended to constitute, and do not constitute or give rise to, any novation, cancellation or extinguishment of any of Borrower’s Obligations existing as of the date hereof to Lender, or of any interests owned or held by Lender (and not previously released) in and to any of the Collateral; it being the intention of the parties that the transactions provided for or contemplated herein shall be effectuated without any interruption in the continuity of the value and consideration received by Borrower, and of the attachment, perfection, priority and continuation in favor of Lender in and to all Collateral and proceeds.
     17. Loan Documents. This Amendment shall amend, without the necessity of any further agreements, all Loan Documents as of the date hereof to reflect the decrease of the Acquisition Loan Component from $20,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00.

     WHEREAS, Borrower, Lenders and Agent have heretofore entered into a Loan and Security Agreement – Inventory dated as of December 16, 2005 (the “Original Inventory LSA”) pursuant to which Lenders agreed to make a revolving credit loan secured by, among other things, certain Intervals (as defined in the Original Inventory LSA), which Original Inventory LSA was amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement Inventory dated as of October 6, 2006 (the Original Inventory LSA, as amended by said First Amendment is hereinafter called the “Inventory LSA” and the loan made pursuant to the Inventory LSA is hereinafter called the “Additional Credit Facility”); and
     WHEREAS, although each of the Loan Agreement and the Inventory LSA contemplate that there could be a number of parties acting as Lender thereunder, Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (“WFF”) is the sole party acting as lender under each such agreement; and
     WHEREAS, WFF is considering purchasing from Silverleaf Finance VI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SL VI”) and an affiliate of Borrower, a portion of the timeshare loan-backed notes (the “TLB Notes”) being issued by SL VI in connection with a securitization that SL VI is planning to undertake (the “Securitization”); and
     WHEREAS, in order to induce WFF to purchase the TLB Notes, WFF desires to limit WFF’s aggregate exposure under the TLB Notes, the Loan and the Additional Credit Facility and

Ex. 99.1
SILVERLEAF RESORTS, INC. COMPLETES
$115.4 MILLION TERM SECURITIZATION
DALLAS, TX—June 9, 2008—Silverleaf Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVLF) today announced the completion of a term securitization through its newly-formed and fully consolidated special purpose finance subsidiary, Silverleaf Finance VI, LLC (“SF-VI”), a Delaware limited liability company. SF-VI was formed for the purpose of issuing approximately $115.4 million of its Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes Series 2008-A (“Series 2008-A Notes”) in a private offering and sale through UBS Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. The Series 2008-A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture among the Company, as servicer of the timeshare loans, SF-VI, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee, custodian, backup servicer, and account intermediary.
     The Series 2008-A Notes are currently secured by approximately $128.6 million in timeshare loans sold to SF-VI by the Company and one of its other fully consolidated special purpose finance subsidiaries. The cash proceeds from the sale of the timeshare loans to SF-VI have been primarily used to repay approximately $93.8 million in consolidated indebtedness of the Company and one of its other fully consolidated subsidiaries. The balance of the proceeds will be used for deposits in required cash reserve accounts and payment of certain transaction fees and expenses. The credit facilities with certain of the Company’s senior lenders have been amended to modify the availability under the loan agreements as a result of the participation in the securitization by those senior lenders.
     Thomas Morris, Executive Vice President — Capital Markets and Strategic Planning, commented, “Given the current volatility of U.S. capital markets, we are very pleased to be able to complete a term securitization of this nature. Considered in combination with our other existing lines of credit, we believe that the closing of this term securitization addresses our liquidity needs at least through 2009.”
     Based in Dallas, Texas, Silverleaf Resorts, Inc. currently owns and operates timeshare resorts with a wide array of country club-like amenities, such as golf, clubhouses, swimming, tennis, boating, and many organized activities for children and adults. For additional information, please visit www.silverleafresorts.com.
     This release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. The Company is subject to specific risks associated with the timeshare industry, the regulatory environment, and various economic factors. These risks and others are more fully discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 12, 2008.
