Certain Duties (a) The Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; except as expressly set forth herein, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor the performance of the Servicer under the Transaction Documents.
(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to verify or recalculate the contents thereof.
(c) In case an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default (resulting in the appointment of the Indenture Trustee as successor Servicer) has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided, however, that no provision in this Indenture shall be construed to limit the obligations of the Indenture Trustee to provide notices under Section 7.2 hereof.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity acceptable to the Indenture Trustee (which may be in the form of written assurances) against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(e) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this Section 7.1(e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.1(a) and (b) hereof;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee shall have been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes, or in accordance with any written direction delivered to it under Sections 6.2(a), (b) or (c) hereof relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture.
(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.
(g) The Indenture Trustee makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Timeshare Loans or the Notes or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment of the Timeshare Loans to the Issuer or to the Trust Estate.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others The Administrator shall deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, or as may be requested by such Certificateholder, such information, reports or statements as may be necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust’s characterization for tax purposes as a disregarded entity so long as the Depositor or any other Person is the sole Certificateholder, no federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel that, based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof, or as a result of a transfer permitted by Section 3.04, the Code requires such a filing or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Trust is required to file such a return. In the event that there shall be two or more beneficial owners of the Trust, the Administrator shall inform the Indenture Trustee in writing of such event, (x) the Administrator shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared federal and, if applicable, state or local partnership tax returns, with all such necessary information provided to it, required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the Depositor (or if the Depositor no longer owns any Certificates, the Certificateholder designated for such purpose by the Depositor to the Owner Trustee in writing) at least (5) days before such returns are due to be filed, and (y) capital accounts shall be maintained by the Administrator for each Certificateholder in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code reflecting each such Certificateholder’s share of the income, gains, deductions, and losses of the Trust and/or guaranteed payments made by the Trust and contributions to, and distributions from, the Trust. The Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Administrator and such returns shall be filed by the Administrator with the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that a “tax matters partner” (within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(7)) is required to be appointed with respect to the Trust, the Depositor or its designee is hereby designated as tax matters partner or, if the Depositor is not a Certificateholder, the Certificateholder selected by a majority of the Certificateholders (by Percentage Interest) shall be designated as tax matters partner. In no event shall the Certificateholder or the Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust or the Noteholders arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to any negligent act or omission by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable), as the case may be, in breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

Tax Matters; Compliance with REMIC Provisions (a) Each of the Trustee and the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall perform its duties hereunder in a manner consistent with the REMIC Provisions and shall not knowingly take any action or fail to take any action that would (i) affect the determination of the Trust Estate's status as a REMIC; or (ii) cause the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on either the REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer, or, in the case of any tax return or other action required by law to be performed directly by the Trustee, the Trustee, shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared, timely cause to be signed by the Trustee and file or cause to be filed annual federal and applicable state and local income tax returns using a calendar year as the taxable year for the REMIC and the accrual method of accounting; (ii) in the first such federal tax return, make, or cause to be made, elections satisfying the requirements of the REMIC Provisions, on behalf of the Trust Estate, to treat the Trust Estate as a REMIC; (iii) prepare, execute and forward, or cause to be prepared, executed and forwarded, to the Certificateholders all information reports or tax returns required with respect to the REMIC, as and when required to be provided to the Certificateholders, and to the Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state or local laws, including without limitation information reports relating to "original issue discount" and "market discount" as defined in the Code based upon the issue prices, prepayment assumption and cash flows provided by the Seller to the Trustee and calculated on a monthly basis by using the issue prices of the Certificates; (iv) make available information necessary for the application of any tax imposed on transferors of residual interests to "disqualified organizations" (as defined in the REMIC Provisions); (v) file Form 8811 and apply for an Employee Identification Number with a Form SS-4 or any other permissible method and respond to inquiries by Certificateholders or their nominees concerning information returns, reports or tax returns; (vi) maintain (or cause to be maintained by the Servicers) such records relating to the REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, individual Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans), other assets and liabilities of the REMIC, and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the property of the REMIC determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns or information reports; (vii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the creation of any "interests" in the REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests represented by the Class A-1, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates; (viii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the Master Servicer shall have provided an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject either the Trust Estate or the REMIC to tax or (c) cause the Trust Estate to fail to qualify as a REMIC; (ix) exercise reasonable care not to allow the REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC; (x) pay (on behalf of the REMIC) the amount of any federal income tax, including, without limitation, prohibited transaction taxes, taxes on net income from foreclosure property, and taxes on certain contributions to a REMIC after the Startup Day, imposed on the REMIC, when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding or depositing payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); and (xi) if required or permitted by the Code and applicable law, act as "tax matters person" for the REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby designated as agent of the Class A-R Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Master Servicer is not so permitted, the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall be the tax matters person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.02 for any taxes paid by it pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, except to the extent that such taxes are imposed as a result of the bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall sign the tax returns referred to in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence. In order to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to perform its duties as set forth above, the Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Master Servicer determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of each Class of Certificates and the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate. Thereafter, the Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may from time to time request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth above. The Seller hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer or the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to this Section that result from any failure of the Seller to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, on a timely basis. The Master Servicer hereby indemnifies the Seller and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller or the Trustee arising from the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in preparing any of the federal, state and local tax returns of the REMIC as described above. In the event that the Trustee prepares any of the federal, state and local tax returns of the REMIC as described above, the Trustee hereby indemnifies the Seller and the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller or the Master Servicer arising from the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in connection with such preparation.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall pay from its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trust Estate (including, without limitation, any and all federal, state or local taxes, including taxes imposed on "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) if and to the extent that such costs, liabilities and expenses arise from a failure of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, to perform its obligations under this Section 8.13.
Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others The Owner Trustee shall, based on information provided by the Seller, (i) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on the basis of a fiscal year ending on the last day of February and based on the accrual method of accounting, (ii) deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1) to enable such Certificateholder to prepare its federal and State income tax returns, (iii) file such tax returns relating to the Trust (including a partnership information return, IRS Form 1065) and make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable State or federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust’s characterization as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (iv) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (v) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code. The Owner Trustee may satisfy its obligations with respect to this Section 5.5 by retaining, on behalf of the Trust, at the expense of the Seller, a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) selected by the Seller. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may require the Accountants to provide to the Owner Trustee, on or before March 15, 2023, a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as to whether any federal tax withholding on Certificates is then required and, if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code. The Accountants shall be required to update such letter in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required. The Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.5 upon its retention of the Accountants, and the Owner Trustee shall not have any liability with respect to the default or misconduct of the Accountants.
Withholding Taxes; Information Reporting As to the Certificates of any series, the Trustee, as trustee of the related grantor trust created by this Agreement, shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of principal, premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due under this Agreement or under the Certificates of such series any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Certificates of such series, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Certificateholders of such series, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Certificateholder of such series appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Certificateholders may reasonably request from time to time. The Trustee agrees to file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.
