Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On April 2, 2007, Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. ("BVU"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen Corporation, entered into a $12.5 million credit facility (the "Facility") with Textron Financial Corporation ("Textron"). BVU will use the proceeds from the Facility to finance the development of certain buildings at the Company's Grande Villas at World Golf Village vacation ownership resort in St. Augustine, Florida ("the Resort"). The Facility is secured by 1) a first mortgage and lien on all existing assets at the Resort, except for those units/buildings that have been completed and sold; 2) a first lien in and to all the BVU's interest in equipment, furnishings, inventory and supplies related to any unsold intervals; and 3) a first assignment of all operating agreements, rents and other revenues at the vacation ownership resorts which serve as collateral for the Facility, subject to any requirements of the respective property owners' associations. Borrowings under the Facility can be made through August 31, 2007. Principal payments will be effected through agreed-upon release prices paid to Textron as vacation ownership interests in the Resort are sold, subject to minimum required amortization payments. The outstanding principal balance of any borrowings under the Facility must be repaid by September 30, 2009. The interest charged on outstanding borrowings will be the prime rate plus 1.25%, and will be payable monthly. BVU was required to pay a commitment fee equal to 1.00% of the $12.5 million Facility amount.

The Facility documents include customary conditions to funding, acceleration provisions and certain affirmative and negative financial covenants.

On April 2, 2007, BVU borrowed approximately $10.9 million under the Facility.
