Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On March 20, 2007, we sold $12.9 million in vacation ownership receivables pursuant to an existing vacation ownership receivables purchase facility (the "2006-A GE Purchase Facility") with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE"). The 2006-A GE Purchase Facility utilizes an owner's trust structure, pursuant to which we sell receivables to Bluegreen Receivables Finance Corporation XI, our wholly-owned, special purpose finance subsidiary ("BRFC XI"), and BRFC XI sells the receivables to an owner's trust (a qualified special purpose entity) without recourse to us or BRFC XI except for breaches of certain customary representations and warranties at the time of sale. Under the 2006-A GE Purchase Facility, a variable purchase price of approximately 90% of the principal balance of the receivables sold, subject to certain terms and conditions, is paid at closing in cash. The balance of the purchase price is deferred until such time as GE has received a specified return, a specified overcollateralization ratio is achieved, a cash reserve account is fully funded and all servicing, custodial, agent and similar fees and expenses have been paid. GE earns a return equal to the applicable Swap Rate (which is essentially a published interest swap arrangement rate as defined in the GE Purchase Facility agreements) plus 2.35%, subject to use of alternate return rates in certain circumstances. The 2006-A GE Purchase Facility allows for sales of notes receivable for a cumulative purchase price of up to $125.0 million for a period that ends in March 2008. Immediately following this sale, the remaining availability under the 2006-A GE Purchase Facility was $14.2 million of aggregate purchase price, subject to eligibility requirements and fulfillment of conditions precedent. The $11.6 million in cash proceeds from this sale of receivables will be used for general operating purposes.
