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 for Defective Timeshare Loans 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
2
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, 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
3
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.

representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described in
Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) below.

Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all
substitutions made on such Transfer Date.
(c) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Purchaser hereby directs and the Servicer hereby
agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased or substituted to provide the
Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture Trustee with an electronic supplement to Schedule
III hereto and the Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal or substitution of such
Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this
Agreement.
(d) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On the related Transfer Date, the Purchaser
hereby directs and the Servicer hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the Timeshare
Loan Files of the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Securitization
15
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, the Servicer does hereby transfer,
assign, sell and grant to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and
Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Servicer’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each
Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Purchaser 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, 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
other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 6(d) shall
immediately vest in the Purchaser, its successors and assigns. The Servicer 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. The Servicer agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans
shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Securitization Custodian, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Servicer.
(f) Release. In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more
Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in
this Section 6, the Purchaser 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 the Servicer, in each case, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the Servicer or its designee (or to evidence the vesting in such Person of) the legal and
beneficial ownership of such released Timeshare Loans. The Purchaser shall cause the
Securitization Indenture Trustee to cause the Securitization Custodian to release the related
Timeshare Loan Files to Servicer or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare
Loan Servicing Files to itself or its designee.
(g) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Servicer
contained in Section 6(a) to cure a material breach, or to repurchase or substitute related
Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of the Servicer to indemnify pursuant to Section 8
shall constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser or its subsequent assignees for the
breaches of any of its representations or warranties of the Servicer contained in Section 5, and
such remedies are not intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to the Servicer.

directly enforce this Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Servicer may not assign any of its
rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser and any assignee thereof. The Purchaser may, and intends to, assign all of its rights to
the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders, and each of the
Seller and the Servicer 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 the Seller or the
Servicer pursuant to Section 5, and the cure, repurchase or substitution and indemnification
obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to the Securitization Indenture, but such
rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 13. Amendments; Consents and Waivers. No modification, amendment or waiver of,
or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and
documents delivered thereto, nor consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer from any of
the terms or conditions thereof shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each
of the parties hereto, the written consent of the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Securitization Noteholders is given and confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such action will
not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned to a Class of Notes
is received. The Purchaser 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 Seller or Servicer in any case shall, in itself, entitle it to any
other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Each of the Seller
and the Servicer acknowledges that in connection with the intended assignment by the Purchaser 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 Purchaser intends to issue the Notes, the
proceeds of which will be used by the Purchaser, in part, to purchase the Timeshare Loans
hereunder.
SECTION 14. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Governmental Authority determines that the
22
Purchaser may not purchase or acquire Timeshare Loans, the transactions evidenced hereby shall
constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable intent of
the parties hereto, and the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser as of the date
hereof, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and
interest in, to and under such Timeshare Loans and the related property as described in Section 2
hereof.
