INDENTURE
This INDENTURE, dated as of December 1, 2010 (the “Indenture”), is among SILVERLEAF FINANCE VIII, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, as issuer (the “Issuer”), SILVERLEAF RESORTS, INC. (“Silverleaf”), a Texas corporation, in its capacity as servicer (the “Servicer”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), as custodian (the “Custodian”), as backup servicer (the “Backup Servicer”) and as a securities intermediary with respect to the Trust Accounts (in such capacity, the “Account Intermediary”).
RECITALS OF THE ISSUER
WHEREAS, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of its $84,556,000 6.000% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2010-B, Class A (the “Class A Notes”) and $19,877,000 8.475% Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2010-B, Class B (the “Class B Notes”, together with the Class A Notes, the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, all things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the valid non-recourse obligations of the Issuer, and to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with its terms, have been done; and
WHEREAS, the Servicer has agreed to service and administer the Timeshare Loans securing the Notes and the Backup Servicer has agreed to perform certain servicing duties pursuant to the Backup Servicing Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as follows:
GRANTING CLAUSE
To secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms, the payment of all of the sums payable under this Indenture and the performance of the covenants contained in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and any and all benefits accruing to the Issuer from, (i) the Initial Timeshare Loans specified on Schedule I hereto, (ii) any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, (iii) any Subsequent Timeshare Loans, (iv) the Receivables in respect of each Timeshare Loan due on and after the related Cut-Off Date, (v) 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), (vi) all Related Security in respect of each Timeshare Loan, (vii) all rights and remedies under the Transfer Agreement, the Loan Sale Agreement, the Lockbox Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, (viii) all amounts in or to be deposited to the Lockbox Account, the Collection Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the General Reserve Account and (ix) proceeds of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind, and other forms of obligations and receivables which at any time constitute all or part or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Collateral”). 

6

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (i) any Timeshare Loan released from the lien of this Indenture in accordance with the terms hereof and any Related Security, Timeshare Loan Documents, income or proceeds related to such released Timeshare Loan, (ii) any amount distributed pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 6.6 hereof or (iii) any Misdirected Deposits.
Such Grant is made in trust to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, equally and ratably except as otherwise may be provided in this Indenture, without prejudice, priority, or distinction between any Note of a Class and any other Note of the same Class by reason of differences in time of issuance or otherwise, and (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under the Notes and this Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein required to the best of its ability and to the end that the interests of the Noteholders may be adequately and effectively protected as hereinafter provided.
The Custodian shall hold the Timeshare Loan Files in trust, for the use and benefit of the Issuer and all present and future Noteholders, and shall retain possession thereof. The Custodian further agrees and acknowledges that each other item making up the Collateral that is physically delivered to the Custodian will be held by the Custodian in the State of Minnesota or in any other location acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer.
The Indenture Trustee further acknowledges that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction were to determine that the conveyance of the Timeshare Loans by Silverleaf to the Issuer pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, or by the Seller to the Issuer pursuant to the Loan Sale Agreement, constitutes a loan and not a sale as it is intended by all the parties hereto, the Custodian will be holding each of the Timeshare Loans as bailee of the Issuer; provided, however, that with respect to the Timeshare Loans, the Custodian shall not act at the direction of the Issuer without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee.

ARTICLE IDEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION
 
Section 1.1General Definitions.
In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Indenture, capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the “Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A.
Section 1.2Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any written application or request (or oral application with prompt written or telecopied confirmation) by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, other than any request that (a) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such request, (b) the Indenture Trustee invest moneys in any of the Trust Accounts pursuant to the written directions specified in such request or (c) the Indenture Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer's assignee specified in such request, the Indenture Trustee shall require the Issuer to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request otherwise is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such requested action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
Section 1.3Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by, an opinion of any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by, the opinion of only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one such document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows that such Opinion of Counsel with respect to the matters upon which his/her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such officer's certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer as to such factual matters unless such officer or counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters is erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such other counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The

foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.1(b) hereof.
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such event. For all purposes of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default nor shall the Indenture Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine whether a default has occurred (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in Section 6.1(a) hereof) or Servicer Event of Default has occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Servicer or any secured party.
Section 1.4Acts 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.
(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 1.5Notice 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 

9

 

provided) if in writing and mailed, via first class mail, or sent by private courier or confirmable electronic means 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 latest 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 any 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 is required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.9Legal Holidays.
In any case where any Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or any other date of which principal of or interest on any Note or amounts payable in respect of the Residual Certificate, if any, is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, of the Notes or of the Residual Certificate) such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next 

10

 

succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other date on which principal of or interest on any Note or amounts payable in respect of the Residual Certificate, if any, is proposed to be paid; provided that, no penalty interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note or amounts payable in respect of the Residual Certificate, if any, is proposed to be paid, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day.

The Notes, together with their certificates of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as required or are permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may consistently herewith, be determined by the officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by such officer's execution of such Notes.
b.Denominations. The Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $84,556,000 and $19,877,000, respectively. The Notes shall be issuable only as registered Notes, without interest coupons, in the denominations of at least $25,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the transfer in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof of any Note with a 

11

 

remaining Outstanding Note Balance of less than $25,000.
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 2.2Global 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 certification that the beneficial owner thereof is not a U.S. Person. 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 hereof:
a.the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in full force and effect with respect to such Class of Notes;
b.the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes with respect to such Notes (including the making of distributions on such Notes) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners;
c.to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.2 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall control;
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; and
e.whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders holding Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes and/or the Adjusted Note Balance of the Class B Notes, as applicable, the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect 

12

 

from Note Owners and/or Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes and/or the Adjusted Note Balance of the Class B Notes, as applicable, and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether the Depository has in fact received any such instructions.
 
Section 2.3Definitive Notes.
If (a) the Issuer 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 Indenture Trustee or 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 Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes or 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of the Class B Notes, as applicable, 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 on, 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 2.4Registration, 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 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 Issuer or 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 

13

 

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 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 

14

 

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.

iii.Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If the Note Owner of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note only upon compliance with all Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Section 2.4(d)(iii).

The Note Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.
g.None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of such Notes without registration or qualification. Any such Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
h.The Servicer agrees to cause the Issuer, and the Issuer agrees to provide, such information as may be required under Rule 144A under the Securities Act so as to allow resales of Notes to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined therein) in accordance herewith.
i.The Notes represent the sole obligation of the Issuer payable from the Collateral and do not represent the obligations of the Originator, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian.

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 Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes and 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance of the Class B Notes, in each case, if such Class of Notes is then Outstanding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or Silverleaf be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to assume the obligations of Servicer under this Indenture.
The successor servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer, (or from the Collateral to the extent set forth in Section 3.4(a)(iii), 3.4(d)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iii) 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 this 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.

The report will also indicate that such firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In the event such independent public accountants require the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 5.5(c), the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

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 solely responsible for any sub-servicing fees due and payable to such sub-servicer. The Servicer shall provide the Rating Agency with prompt written notice upon entering into any sub-servicing agreements.
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.

Nothing in this Section 5.12 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 5.12.
Section 5.13No Offset.
Prior to the termination of this Indenture, the obligations of the Servicer under this Indenture shall not be subject to any defense, counterclaim or right of offset which the Servicer has or may have against the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder, whether in respect of this Indenture, any Timeshare Loan or otherwise.

The Servicer shall immediately notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee if it has Knowledge of a claim made by a third party with respect to the Timeshare Loans, and, if such claim relates to the servicing of the Timeshare Loans by the Servicer, the Servicer shall assume, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it. In addition, so long as Silverleaf or any Affiliate thereof acts as Servicer, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including any loss, liability or expense directly or indirectly incurred (regardless of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer) to the extent that such loss, liability or expense arose of out of or was imposed on the Indenture Trustee as a result of any penalty or other cost imposed by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority.
