with respect to any of its properties; and no transaction contemplated hereby
requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law. Each of the Facility
Documents to which the Seller is a party have been duly executed and delivered

with respect to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, it is made subject

Seller’s ownership thereof (or the ownership of any Affiliate thereof other than
the Company and the Issuer), has been free of contamination from any substance,
material or waste identified as toxic or hazardous according to any federal,
state or local law, rule, regulation or order governing, imposing standards of
conduct with respect to, or regulating in any way the discharge, generation,
removal, transportation, storage or handling of toxic or hazardous substances,
materials or waste or air or water pollution (hereinafter referred to as
“Environmental
Laws”),
including without limitation any PCB, radioactive substance, methane, asbestos,
volatile hydrocarbons, petroleum products or wastes, industrial solvents or any
other material or substance that now or hereafter may cause or constitute a
health, safety or other environmental hazard to any person or property (any such
substance together with any substance, material or waste identified as toxic or
hazardous under any Environmental Law now in effect or hereinafter enacted shall
be referred to herein as “Contaminants”), but
excluding from the foregoing any levels of Contaminants at or below which such
Environmental Laws do not apply (“De
Minimus Levels”).
Neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Company and
the Issuer) has caused or suffered to occur any discharge, spill, uncontrolled
loss or seepage of any petroleum or chemical product or any Contaminant (except
for De Minimus Levels thereof) onto any property comprising or adjoining any
Timeshare Property Regime, and neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the
Seller (other than the Company and the Issuer) nor any Obligor or occupant of
all or part of any Timeshare Property Regime is now or has been involved in
operations at the related Timeshare Property Regime that could lead to liability
for the Seller, the Company, any Affiliate of the Seller or any other owner of
such Timeshare Property Regime or the imposition of a Lien on such Timeshare
Property Regime under any Environmental Law. No practice, procedure or policy
employed by the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof other than the Company and the
Issuer) with respect to POAs for which the Seller acts as the manager or, to the
best knowledge of the Seller, by the manager of the POAs with respect to POAs
managed by parties unaffiliated with the Seller, violates any Environmental Law
that, if enforced, would reasonably be expected to (A) have a Material Adverse
Effect on such POA or the ability of such POA to do business, (B) have a
Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition of the POA or (C) constitute
grounds for the revocation of any license, charter, permit or registration that
is material to the conduct of the business of the POA.
Except as
set forth in Schedule 3, (1) all property owned, managed, or controlled by the
Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Company and the Issuer)
and located within a Resort is now, and at all times during the Seller’s
ownership, management or control thereof (or the ownership, management or
control of any Affiliate thereof (other than the Company and the Issuer)) has
been free of contamination from any Contaminants, except for De Minimus Levels
thereof, (2) neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the
Company and the Issuer) has caused or suffered to occur any discharge, spill,
uncontrolled loss or seepage of any Contaminants onto any property comprising or
adjoining any of the Resorts, except for De Minimus Levels thereof, and (3)
neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Company and
the Issuer) nor any Obligor or occupant of all or part of any of any Resort is
now or previously has been involved in operations at any Resort that could lead
to liability for the
21
Seller,
the Company, any Affiliate of the Seller or any other owner of any Resort or the
imposition of a Lien on such Resort under any Environmental Law. None of the
matters set forth in Schedule 3 will have a Material Adverse Effect with respect
to the Company or its assignees or the interests of the Company or its assignees
in the Loans. Each Resort, and the present use thereof, does not violate any
Environmental Law in any manner that would materially adversely affect the value
or use of such Resort or the performance by the POAs of their respective
obligations under their applicable declarations, articles or similar charter
documents. There is no condition presently existing, and to the best knowledge
of the Seller no event has occurred or failed to occur with respect to any
Resort, relating to any Contaminants or compliance with any Environmental Laws
that would reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect with
respect to such Resort, including in connection with the present use of such
Resort.
(xiii) Tax
Liens. All
taxes applicable to such Loan and the related Timeshare Property have been paid,
except where the failure to pay such tax would not have a Material Adverse
Effect with respect to the Seller or its assignees or the Purchaser or the
collectibility or enforceability of the Loan. There are no delinquent tax liens
in respect of the Timeshare Property underlying such Loan.
(xiv) Loan
Files. The
related Loan File contains the following Loan Documents (which may include
microfiche or other electronic copies of the Loan Documents to the extent
provided in the Custodial Agreement):
(A) at least
one original of each Loan (or, if the Loan and promissory note are contained in
separate documents, an original of the promissory note); provided,
however, that
the original Loan may have been removed from the Loan File in accordance with
the Custodial Agreement for the performance of collection services and other
routine servicing requirements; and
(B) for Loans
with respect to which the related Timeshare Property has been deeded out to the
related Obligor:
(1) a copy of
the deed for such Timeshare Property; and
(2) the
original recorded Mortgage (or a copy thereof, if applicable, for Mortgages that
have been submitted for recording as set forth herein) and Assignments of
Mortgages in favor of the Collateral Agent (or a copy of such recorded Mortgage
or Assignment of Mortgage, as the case may be, certified to be a true and
complete copy thereof, if the original of the recorded Mortgage or Assignment of
Mortgage is lost or destroyed), provided that in
the case of any Loan with respect to which the related Mortgage and/or deed has
been removed from the Loan File for review and recording in the local real
property recording office, the original Mortgage shall have been returned to the
Loan File no later than 180 days from the date on which the related Timeshare
Property is required to be deeded to an Obligor.
22
(xv) Lockbox
Accounts. As of
the applicable Cut-Off Date, the Obligor of such Loan either:
(A) shall
have been instructed to remit Payments thereunder to a Post Office Box for
credit to a Lockbox Account or directly to a Lockbox Account, in each case
maintained at a Lockbox Bank pursuant to the terms of a Lockbox Agreement;
or
(B) has
entered into a PAC or Credit Card Account pursuant to which a deposit account of
such Obligor is made subject to a pre-authorized debit in respect of Payments as
they become due and payable, and the Seller has caused a Lockbox Bank to take
all necessary and appropriate action to ensure that each such pre-authorized
debit is credited directly to a Lockbox Account.
(xvi) Ownership
Interest. As of
the Closing Date or related Addition Date, as applicable, the Seller has good
and marketable title to the Loan, free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Encumbrances).
(xvii) Interest
in Loan. Such
Loan constitutes either a “general intangible,” an “instrument,” “chattel paper”
or an “account” under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of Delaware,
Oregon and New York.
(xviii) Recordation
of Assignments. The
collateral Assignment of Mortgage to the Collateral Agent relating to the
Mortgage with respect to each Loan has been recorded or delivered for
recordation simultaneously with the related Mortgage to the proper office in the
jurisdiction in which the related Timeshare Property is located.
(xix) Material
Disputes. To the
actual knowledge of the Seller, the Loan is not subject to any material
dispute.
(xx) Good
Title; No Liens. Upon
the Purchase hereunder occurring on such Closing Date or Addition Date, as
applicable, the Company will be the lawful owner of, and have good title to,
each Loan and all of the other related Transferred Assets that are the subject
of such Purchase, free and clear of any Liens (other than any Permitted
Encumbrances on the related Timeshare Properties). All Loans and related
Transferred Assets are purchased without recourse to the Seller except as
described in this Agreement and any PA Supplement. Such Purchase by the Company
under this Agreement and under any PA Supplement constitutes a valid and true
sale and transfer for consideration (and not merely the grant of a security
interest to secure a loan), enforceable against creditors of the Seller, and no
Loan or other related Transferred Assets that are the subject of such Purchase
will constitute property of the Seller after such Purchase.
(xxi) Solvency. The
Seller, both prior to and immediately after giving effect to the Purchase of
Loans hereunder and under any PA Supplement occurring on such Closing Date or
Addition Date, as applicable, (A) is not insolvent (as such term is defined
in §101(32)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code), (B) is able to pay its debts as
they become due and (C) does not have unreasonably small capital for the
business in which it is engaged or for any business or transaction in which it
is about to engage.

capital reserves and maintenance fee levels of the POAs related to each
Timeshare Property Regime underlying the Loans Purchased on such Closing Date or
Addition Date, as applicable, are adequate in light of the operating
requirements of such POAs.
(c) Representations
and Warranties Regarding the Loan Files. The
Seller represents and warrants to the Company as of each Closing Date and
related Addition Date as to each Loan and the related Loan File conveyed by it
hereunder on and as of such Closing Date or related Addition Date, as applicable
(except as otherwise expressly stated) as follows:
(i) Possession. On or
immediately prior to each Closing Date or related Addition Date, as applicable,
the Custodian will have possession of each original Loan and the related Loan
File and will have acknowledged such receipt, and its undertaking to hold such
original Loan and the related Loan File for purposes of perfection of the
Collateral Agent’s interest in such original Loan and the related Loan File;
provided,
however, that
the fact that any document not required to be in its respective Loan File
pursuant to Section 6(b)(xiv) of this Agreement is not in the possession of
the Custodian in its respective Loan File does not constitute a breach of this
representation.
(ii) Marking
Records. On or
before each Closing Date or Addition Date, as applicable, the Seller shall have
caused the portions of its computer files relating to the Loans sold on such
date to the Company to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that each
such Loan has been conveyed on such date to the Company.
(d) Survival
of Representations and Warranties. It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties contained in this
Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, shall survive the
transfer and conveyance of the Loans with respect to any Series by the Seller to
the Company under this Agreement and any PA Supplement, the conveyance of the
Loans by the Company to the Initial Issuer or to an Additional Issuer pursuant
to the Pool Purchase Agreement and any Term Purchase Agreement and the Grant of
the Collateral by the Initial Issuer or any Additional Issuer to the Collateral
Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the respective Issuers, the
Trustees, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and their respective
designees, successors and assigns.

claims, losses and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (the
foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified
Amounts”) that
may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Company as a
result of a breach by the Seller of any of its respective representations,
warranties or covenants hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Section
11(i), the Seller shall pay to the Company, on demand, any and all amounts
necessary to indemnify the Company for (i) any and all recording and filing fees
in connection with the transfer of the Loans from the Seller to the Company, and
any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying
when due, any taxes (including sales, excise or property taxes) payable in
connection with the transfer of the Loans from the Seller to the Company and
(ii) costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same.
The agreements in this Section 6(e) shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or any PA Supplement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder,
24
under any
PA Supplement and under the Loans. For purposes of this Section 6(e), any
reference to the Company shall include any officer, director, employee or agent
thereof, or any successor or assignee thereof or of the Company.

least two Business Days notice during regular business hours, permit the Company
and/or its agents, representatives or assigns access:

Interest. Take
such action with respect to each Loan as is necessary to ensure that the Company
maintains a first priority ownership interest in such Loan and the other related
Transferred Assets, in each case free and clear of any Liens arising through or

Permitted Encumbrance thereon, and respond to any inquiries with respect to

general liability insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers
providing coverage in scope and amount that (x) satisfy the requirements of the
declarations (or any similar charter document) governing the POA for the
maintenance of such insurance policies and (y) are at least consistent with the
scope and amount of such insurance coverage obtained by prudent POAs and/or
management of other similar developments in the same jurisdiction and (2) to the
extent the Seller is the property manager of the Resort and possesses the right
to direct the application of insurance proceeds, to use its best efforts to
apply the proceeds of any such insurance policies in the manner specified in the
related declarations (or any similar charter document) governing the POA and/or
any similar charter documents of such POA (which exercise of best efforts shall
include voting as a member of the POA or as a proxy or attorney-in-fact for a
member). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the ultimate
discretion and control relating to the maintenance of any such insurance
policies is vested in the POA in accordance with the respective declaration (or
any similar charter document) relating to each Timeshare Property
Regime.
(B) The
Seller shall remit to the Collection Account the portion of any proceeds

respect to the Purchaser or the Seller, or otherwise be reasonably expected to
expose the Purchaser or the Seller to material liability. The Seller will pay or
cause to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any
assessments received by it, other than any taxes or assessments the validity of
which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
27
proceedings
and with respect to which the Seller or the applicable Affiliate has set aside
adequate reserves on its books in accordance with GAAP, and which proceedings

Litigation
In
September 2002, the Office of the California Attorney General and the San Mateo
County District Attorney's office began an investigation of certain Trendwest
sales, telemarketing and collection practices. The matter was resolved in
October 2003, with Trendwest signing a stipulated judgment enjoining Trendwest
from certain business practices, requiring Trendwest to offer restitution to
certain consumers, and obligating Trendwest to pay costs and fines.
In
October 2003, as a result of an investigation by the California Department of
Real Estate ("DRE"), Trendwest entered into an agreement with the DRE whereby
Trendwest deposited $1.8 million into an escrow account to be paid to WorldMark
in the event the DRE determines, following an audit, that Trendwest owes money
to WorldMark as a result of certain Trendwest sales and marketing programs.
Trendwest is currently responding to the DRE's audit requests.
In early
February 2005, Trendwest's broker-of-record in Arizona received a letter from
the Arizona Department of Real Estate ("ADRE") stating that the ADRE had
initiated an investigation as a result of an audit conducted by the ADRE. The
auditors alleged numerous infractions relating to, among other things,
Trendwest's brokerage practices. Working with Arizona legal counsel, the broker
replied to the ADRE in late February 2005 acknowledging certain infractions and
providing evidence of remedial measures, and disputing certain other alleged
infractions. Trendwest is currently awaiting a reply from the ADRE.

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller wishes to designate Additional Loans
(including Additional Upgrade Balances) to be included as Loans, and the Seller
wishes to sell its right, title and interest in and to the Additional Loans to

WHEREAS,
the Purchaser wishes to purchase such Additional Loans subject to the terms and
conditions hereof.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined

mean the Additional Loans, as defined in the Agreement, that are sold hereby and

2. Designation

Schedule 1 to the Agreement.
3. Sale
of Additional Loans.
The
Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser,
without recourse except as provided in the Agreement, all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in, to and under (i) the Additional Loans as of the
close of business on the Addition Cut-Off Date and all Scheduled Payments, other

(iii) any Mortgages relating to the Additional Loans; (iv) any Insurance

applicable State law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary
to perfect the sale of the Additional Transferred Assets to the Purchaser, and
to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements and continuation
statements (or other amendments) or other evidence of such filing to the
Purchaser.
In
connection with the foregoing sale, the Seller further agrees, on or prior to
the date of this Assignment, to cause the portions of its computer files
relating to the Additional Loans sold on such date to the Purchaser to be
clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that each such Additional Loan has
been sold on such date to the Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement and this
Assignment.
It is the
express and specific intent of the parties that the transfer of the Additional

interest in the Additional Loans and other Transferred Assets to the Purchaser,
in order to secure the prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the
Seller to the Purchaser under the Agreement, whether now or hereafter existing,
due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Seller
hereby assigns and grants to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in
all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, if any, in, to and under all of the Additional Loans and the other
related Transferred Assets and the proceeds thereof. The Seller
acknowledges
that the Additional Loans and other related Transferred Assets are subject to
the Lien of the Indenture and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee and the Noteholders.

to the Agreement is true and correct, and that each such representation and
warranty is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though fully set out in
this Assignment.

deemed from and after the Addition Date to be references to the Agreement as
supplemented and amended by this Assignment. Except as expressly amended hereby,
all the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the
Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as expressly
provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of
