Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 29, 2006, the Registrant closed a term securitization transaction through its newly-formed and fully consolidated special purpose finance subsidiary, Silverleaf Finance V, L.P. ("SF-V"), a Delaware limited partnership. SF-V was formed for the purpose of issuing approximately $128.0 million of its Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes Series 2006-A ("Series 2006-A Notes") in a private offering and sale through UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”). The Series 2006-A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture ("Indenture") by and among the Registrant, as servicer of the timeshare loans, SF-V, as issuer, Silverleaf Finance V, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant organized for the purpose of serving as general partner of SF-V, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee, custodian, backup servicer and account intermediary. The Series 2006-A Notes were issued in seven classes ranging from Class A through Class G notes with a blended coupon of 6.7%. The Class A through Class G notes have been rated Aaa, Aa2, A2, Baa1, Baa2, Baa3, and Ba2 respectively by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and have a final maturity of July, 2018.

The Series 2006-A Notes are currently secured by approximately $125.3 million in timeshare loans sold to SF-V 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-V were previously pledged as collateral by the Registrant and SF-IV under revolving credit facilities with other senior lenders. The proceeds from the sale of the timeshare loans to SF-V have been primarily used to pay down $93.2 million in consolidated indebtedness to senior lenders. Approximately $24.8 million of the proceeds received by SF-V from the sale of the Series 2006-A Notes will be held in a special prefunding account under the terms of the Indenture for up to 90 days. The Registrant has 90 days from the date of closing in which to sell up to approximately $33.0 million in additional qualifying timeshare loans to SF-V. All funds held in the pre-funding account that are not used by SF-V to finance the purchase of additional qualifying timeshare loans from the Registrant during the 90 day prefunding period will be returned to the holders of the Series 2006-A Notes as a distribution of principal. All timeshare loans purchased by SF-V are being acquired without recourse, except in the case of breaches of customary representations and warranties made in connection with the sale of the loans. 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 2006-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.
 
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

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 such notification or
5


delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose 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”). All Global Notes shall be initially registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC and no Note Owner will receive a definitive note (a “Definitive Note”) representing such Note Owner’s interest in the related Class of Notes, except as provided in Section 2.3 hereof. 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
8


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 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
9


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 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
10


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.

Each of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder by the purchase of a Note, agree to report such transactions for purposes of all taxes in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Characterization, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(b) (i) The Issuer hereby grants to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a power of attorney to execute all documents including, but not limited to, Assignments of Mortgage, UCC-l financing statements, amendments or continuation statements, on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing and (ii) the Servicer hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee a power of attorney to execute all documents on behalf of the Servicer as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing; provided, however, that such grant shall not create a duty on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to file, prepare, record or monitor, or any responsibility for the contents or adequacy of, any such documents.
 
Section 4.5 Substitution and Repurchase of Timeshare Loans.
 
(a) Mandatory Substitution and Repurchase of Timeshare Loans for Breach of Representation or Warranty. If at any time, any party hereto obtains knowledge, discovers, or is notified by any other party hereto, that any of the representations and warranties of the Originator in the Transfer Agreement or the Servicer in the Loan Sale Agreement were incorrect at the time such representations and warranties were made, then the party discovering such defect, omission, or circumstance shall promptly notify the other parties to this Indenture, the Rating Agency, the Originator, and the Servicer. In the event any such representation or warranty of the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, is incorrect and materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Noteholders therein, then the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall require the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, within 60 days after the date it is first notified, or otherwise obtains Knowledge, of such breach to eliminate or otherwise cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or (1) if the breach relates to a particular Timeshare Loan and is not cured in all material respects (such Timeshare Loan, a “Defective Timeshare Loan”), either (a) purchase the Issuer’s interest in such Defective Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price or (b) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable, to act on behalf and in the name of the Issuer to enforce the Originator’s and the Servicer’s purchase or substitution obligations if the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, has not complied with its purchase or substitution obligations under the Transfer Agreement or the Loan Sale Agreement, as applicable, within 30 days after the end of the aforementioned 60-day period.

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, 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. If the Originator shall purchase Force Majeure Loans as provided herein, the Originator shall deposit the related Force Majeure Purchase Price in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.4(e) below.

Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal, substitution and/or other addition of Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and Subsequent Timeshare Loans to the provisions of the Transaction Documents.

a designated flood plain, to maintain flood insurance in an amount not less than the maximum level available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended; (B) in respect of each Resort, to maintain general liability insurance in such amounts generally acceptable in the industry; (C) to cause each Resort’s insurance policies to remain in full force and effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier; and (D) to monitor the maintenance of the insurance coverage described in (A), (B), and (C) above with respect to each Resort and promptly obtain notice and otherwise acquire Knowledge of any lapse, cessation, decrease or other change in any such insurance coverage.
 
(b) In the event that a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is not or cannot be released from the Lien of the Indenture pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, promptly institute collection procedures, which may include, but are not limited to, cancellation, forfeiture, termination or foreclosure proceedings or obtaining a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (each, a “Foreclosure Property”). Upon the Timeshare Property becoming a Foreclosure Property, the Servicer shall promptly attempt to liquidate such foreclosure Property. The Servicer shall select the liquidation option reasonably anticipated to produce the highest Net Liquidation Proceeds, giving effect to the gross price obtainable, broker’s commissions, foreclosure costs, fees and marketing expenses and other factors. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Liquidation Expenses out of Liquidation Proceeds. Any Liquidation Expenses later recovered by the Servicer shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.2(c) and (d) hereof.
 
(i) To the extent that the Originator or an Affiliate thereof is selected to remarket a Foreclosure Property, the Servicer shall cause the Originator or Affiliate thereof to agree that it will remarket such Foreclosure Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
 
(ii) The Servicer (if Silverleaf or its Affiliate is acting as Servicer) on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall take all necessary steps to have the record title of the applicable Timeshare Properties subject to such Defaulted Timeshare Loans continue to be held by the Indenture Trustee. In such event, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee, directly or through its agents to exercise the remedies provided for in the Oak N’ Spruce Trust Agreement, in the Mortgage Note or in the other documents with respect to such Defaulted Timeshare Loans and the Obligors thereunder, and the related Timeshare Property shall be remarketed with the purpose of obtaining the maximum Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of such Defaulted Timeshare Loans.
 
(iii) The Servicer shall reserve its rights under the Oak N’ Spruce Trust Agreement and/or the applicable Mortgages to obtain, at any time, record title and all beneficial interests in respect of the Timeshare Properties related to Defaulted Timeshare Loans. 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
37


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.

(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 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
38


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.
 
(j) For so long as Silverleaf or any Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, it shall provide a minimum of 10 days’ prior notice to the Rating Agency of any purchase or acquisition by the Servicer of (i) another entity (or the stock, membership interests, or other similar interests therein) or (ii) any resort or other property, if the related purchase price exceeds $5 million.

39


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;
 
(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;
 
(vi) the entry by a court having competent jurisdiction in respect of the Servicer of (i) 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 (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Servicer a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of or in respect of the Servicer under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official of the Servicer, 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;
 
(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 benefit of creditors, or the Servicer’s failure to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Servicer in furtherance of any such action;
 
(viii) a Sequential Pay Event that remains uncured for one Due Period;
 
(ix) if Silverleaf is the Servicer, it fails to maintain a Leverage Ratio of not greater than 6.0 to 1.0; or
 
(x) if Silverleaf is the Servicer, a change occurs of more than 50% of the executive management of the Servicer as described in Exhibit H hereto, unless Silverleaf provides written certification to the Indenture Trustee (which the Indenture Trustee shall promptly forward to the Noteholders) within 30 days after such change, certifying that such executive management personnel have been replaced, and setting forth a description of those
40


persons’ experience, ability and reputation, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have received an objection to such replacement personnel from holders of Notes of at least 50% of the Adjusted Note Balance, within 15 Business Days after sending such certificate to the Noteholders.
 
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 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.
41


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 otherwise fail to cooperate with, or take any actions required by such successor Servicer related to the transfer of servicing hereunder.

(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 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 as may be
42


reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Initial Purchaser in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Determination Date.

(c) Annual Accountants’ Reports. On or before each April 30 of each year commencing in 2007, 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, 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
43


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.
44


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 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
45

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 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 each 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.

Upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (or one Business Day’s prior written notice after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default), the Servicer will, from time to time during regular business hours, as requested by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder and, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, at the expense of the Issuer or such Noteholder and upon the occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Event of Default, at the expense of the Servicer, permit the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder or its agents or representatives (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in the possession or under the control of the Servicer relating to the servicing of the Timeshare Loans serviced by it and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Servicer for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (i) above, and to discuss matters relating to the Timeshare Loans with any of the officers, employees or accountants of the Servicer having knowledge of such matters. 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.

47

the Issuer or the General Partner, as applicable, 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 or the General Partner, as applicable, first acquiring Knowledge thereof, and (y) the Indenture Trustee’s giving written notice thereof to the Issuer or the General Partner, as applicable; or

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 and the terms of each Subsequent Transfer Agreement 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 and each applicable Subsequent Transfer 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 and each applicable Subsequent Transfer 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 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 or under any Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(f) Each Timeshare Loan conveyed on a Transfer Date in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof shall satisfy each of the criteria specified in the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and each of the conditions herein and in the Securitization Indenture for substitution of Timeshare Loans shall have been satisfied.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the (i) transfer of each Timeshare Loan to the Issuer and (ii) the subsequent pledge of such Timeshare Loans and rights and remedies hereunder to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders and shall continue so long as any such Timeshare Loans shall remain outstanding or until such time as such Timeshare Loans are repurchased, purchased or a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan is provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof. The Originator acknowledges that it has been advised that the Issuer 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 Originator agrees that, upon any such assignment, the Securitization Indenture Trustee may enforce directly, without joinder of the Issuer (but subject to any defense that Originator may have under this Agreement) all rights and remedies hereunder.
 
(d) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5 which are made to Originator’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 Issuer 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.
 
 
15

 
 
SECTION 6. Repurchases and Substitutions.
 
(a) Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by Originator 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 Issuer or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer therein, Originator 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 Issuer’s or its assignee’s interest in such related defective Timeshare Loan (the “Defective Timeshare Loan”) from the Issuer 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.
 
(b) Repurchase or Substitution of Upgraded Timeshare Loans. With respect to any Upgraded Timeshare Loan in the pool of Timeshare Loans that have been conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement or the Loan Sale Agreement (the “Timeshare Loan Pool”), on any date, the Originator shall either (i) prepay such Upgraded Timeshare Loan on behalf of the related Obligor by depositing the related Repurchase Price in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.5(e) in the Indenture or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for the Upgraded Timeshare Loan and pay any Substitution Shortfall Amount; provided, however, that the Originator’s option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for the Upgraded Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to (x) 20% of the Cut-Off Date Aggregate Loan Balance less (y) the aggregate Loan Balances of the Upgraded Timeshare Loans previously substituted by the Originator on the related Transfer Dates.
 
(c) Optional Purchases of Defaulted Timeshare Loans. 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 purchase the Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Default Purchase Price for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan; provided, however, that the option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to the Optional Purchase Limit. If the Originator shall purchase Defaulted Timeshare Loans as provided herein, the Originator shall deposit the related Default Purchase Price in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.5(e) under the Indenture. The Originator may irrevocably waive the Originator’s option to purchase 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.
 
 
16

 
 
(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, substituted or otherwise added (i.e., in the case of Subsequent Timeshare Loans) 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 and Subsequent Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.
 
(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
 
 
17

 
 
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.
 
SECTION 7. Additional Covenants of the Originator.
 
(a) Originator hereby covenants and agrees with the Issuer as follows:
 
(i) It shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it and its business and properties except where the failure to comply 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 or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.

SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Originator, the Issuer and their respective successors and assigns. Any assignee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to directly enforce this Agreement. The Originator may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Issuer and any assignee thereof. The Issuer may, and intends to, assign all of its rights to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders, and the Originator 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 Originator pursuant to Section 5, and the cure, repurchase or substitution and indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, but such rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee.

The Issuer 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 Originator in any case shall, in itself, entitle it to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The Originator acknowledges that in connection with the intended assignment by the Issuer 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 Issuer intends to issue the Notes, the proceeds of which will be used by the Issuer, in part, to purchase the Timeshare Loans hereunder.

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 August 29, 2006 (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 August 1, 2006 (the “Securitization Indenture”), by and among the Purchaser, Silverleaf Finance V, LLC, as the general partner of the Purchaser (the “General Partner”), the Servicer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee, to secure the Purchaser’s (i) 5.760% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-A, Class A Notes, (ii) 5.909% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-A, Class B Notes, (iii) 6.456% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-A, Class C Notes, (iv) 7.249% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-A, Class D Notes, (v) 7.793% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-A, Class E Notes, (vi) 8.287% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-A, Class F Notes, and (vii) 10.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2006-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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 Seller as “debtor” and the Purchaser 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 to the Purchaser of such Seller’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets.
 
Each of the Seller, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser.
 
SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Purchaser. The obligations of the Purchaser to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
 
(a) All representations and warranties of the Seller and the Servicer contained in Section 5 and in Schedule I hereof, and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans related thereto shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date or the Transfer Date, as applicable, and each of the Seller and the Servicer shall have delivered to the Purchaser, the Securitization Indenture Trustee and UBS Securities LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”) an officer’s certificate (the “Officer’s Certificate”) to such effect.
 
(b) On or prior to the Closing Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, the Seller (and, with regard to a Transfer Date, the Servicer) shall have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Securitization Custodian and the Securitization Custodian shall have delivered a receipt therefore pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Servicer, and (iii) all documents and certifications required pursuant to the terms of the Custodial Agreement and the Escrow and Closing Agreement.
 
(c) The Seller shall have delivered or shall have caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Purchaser to be delivered by the Seller or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of the Closing Date, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser or the Securitization Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Purchaser or the Securitization Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.
 
(d) With regard to each Transfer Date, the Servicer shall have delivered or shall have caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Purchaser to be delivered by the Servicer or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of such Transfer Date, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser or the Securitization Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Purchaser or the Securitization Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.
 
(e) On or before the Closing Date, the Purchaser, the General Partner, the
 
 

 
 
Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Securitization Indenture.
 
(f) The Securitization Notes shall be issued and sold on the Closing Date, and the Purchaser shall receive the full consideration due it upon the issuance of the Securitization Notes, and the Purchaser shall have applied such consideration to the extent necessary, to pay the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Timeshare Loan.
 
(g) Each Timeshare Loan conveyed on a Transfer Date in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof shall satisfy each of the criteria specified in the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and each of the conditions herein and in the Securitization Indenture for substitution of Timeshare Loans shall have been satisfied.
 
(h) The Purchaser shall have received such other certificates and opinions as it shall reasonably request.

organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.

SILVERLEAF RESORTS, INC. ANNOUNCES NEW $128 MILLION
SECURITIZATION WITH UBS

DALLAS, TEXAS. (August 30, 2006) --- Silverleaf Resorts, Inc. (AMEX: SVL) today announced the August 29, 2006 closing of a term securitization through its newly-formed and fully consolidated special purpose finance subsidiary, Silverleaf Finance V, L.P. ("SF-V"), a Delaware limited partnership. SF-V was formed for the purpose of issuing approximately $128.0 million of its Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes Series 2006-A ("Series 2006-A Notes") in a private offering and sale through UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”). The Series 2006-A Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between the Company, as servicer of the timeshare loans, SF-V, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee. The Series 2006-A Notes were issued in seven classes ranging from Class A through Class G notes with a blended coupon of 6.7%. The Class A through Class G notes have been rated Aaa, Aa2, A2, Baa1, Baa2, Baa3, and Ba2 respectively by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and have a final maturity of July, 2018.

The Series 2006-A Notes are currently secured by approximately $125.3 million in timeshare loans sold to SF-V 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-V have been primarily used to pay down $93.2 million in consolidated indebtedness to senior lenders. Approximately $24.8 million of the proceeds received by SF-V from the sale of the Series 2006-A Notes is being set aside for 90 days to finance SF-V’s purchase of up to $33.0 million in additional qualifying timeshare loans from the Company. All funds set aside for this purpose that are not used by SF-V within 90 days to finance the purchase of additional qualifying timeshare loans from the Company will be returned to the holders of the Series 2006-A Notes as a distribution of principal.

Thomas Morris, SVP - Capital Markets commented, “We are very pleased once again to be able to access the term securitization market. This form of low cost, fixed rate financing continues to be an integral part of our business strategy to lower our overall cost of capital. This transaction has allowed us to lower the cost of this debt from 8.0%, floating, to 6.7% fixed. We are also pleased with the confidence UBS has in our ability to continue to execute our business plan in underwriting such a transaction”.

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.
