(c) Without limiting the other provisions of this Section, from and after each assignment permitted pursuant to this Section (other than assignments by NBA of its entire interest in the Loan): (i) all grants of collateral security (including, without limitation, each deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, assignment of rents and leases, and other assignments for security in the Loan Documents shall be deemed made to NBA in its capacity as administrative agent for the pro rata benefit of NBA and the Assignees as lenders; (ii) all obligations and liabilities of Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to inure to the pro rata benefit of NBA and the Assignees as lenders; and (iii) all indemnity and reimbursement obligations of Borrower and guarantor shall be in favor ofΒ Β NBA and Assignees in accordance with their pro rata interests and in the case of indemnities shall include all named indemnified parties of NBA and Assignee (for example an indemnity in favor of a party and its officers, directors, agents, and employees shall be for the benefit of the officers, directors, agents, and employees of each of NBA and the Assignee); provided that any obligation of the Borrower to reimburse for out of pocket costs and expenses of any party shall be deemed to refer to the party incurring such costs and expenses. |

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY RULE OR CANON OF CONSTRUCTION WHICH INTERPRETS AGREEMENTS AGAINST A DRAFTSMAN.
9.14DISPUTE RESOLUTION.Β This section contains a jury waiver, arbitration clause, and a class action waiver. READ IT CAREFULLY.
Β
This dispute resolution provision shall supersede and replace any prior "Jury Waiver," "Judicial Reference," "Class Action Waiver," "Arbitration," "Dispute Resolution," or similar alternative dispute agreement or provision between or among the parties.
Β
JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. As permitted by applicable law, each party waives their respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any DisputeΒ (as "Dispute" is hereinafter defined), and Disputes shall be resolved by a judge sitting without a jury. Β If a court determines that this provision is not enforceable for any reason and at any time prior to trial of the Dispute, but not later than 30 days after entry of the order determining this provision is unenforceable, any party shall be entitled to move the court for an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing such litigation pending arbitration ("Arbitration Order"). If permitted by applicable law, each party also waives the right to litigate in court or an arbitration proceeding any Dispute as a class action, either as a member of a class or as a representative, or to act as a private attorney general.
Β
ARBITRATION. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between us with respect to this Agreement, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of us whether or not related to the subject matter of this AgreementΒ (all of the foregoing, a "Dispute"), and only ifΒ a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of us may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a mutually agreed upon single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as
56
Β
Β
Β
well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.
Β
Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or National Arbitration Forum ("Administrator") as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations we have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or (iii) involving either of our employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. Β However, Disputes do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, we each will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in the city and state where Lender is headquartered.
Β
After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration (but shall not be required to commence arbitration in the event of the moving party's decision not to do so as set forth in the next sentence). The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment; (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppels, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.
Β
Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney's fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal
57
Β
Β
Β
of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.
Β
Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Β§ 1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrator's rules, this arbitration provision shall control.
Β
RELIANCE. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this section.
Β
9.15Interpretation. Β This Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be construed against Lender merely because of Lender's involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements.
Β
9.16Destruction of Note; Substitute Note.Β Β In the event the Note is mutilated or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, or otherwise lost or stolen and regardless of whether due to the act or neglect of Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender in substitution therefor a duplicate promissory note containing the same terms and conditions as the promissory note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, within 10 days after Lender notifies Borrower of any such mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of such note and delivery to Borrower of an affidavit certifying that the same was not negotiated and Borrower will only be liable on the replaced note executed by Borrower.Β Β Upon Borrower's delivery of such duplicate promissory note, Borrower will be relieved of all obligations under the original promissory note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and will thereafter be bound solely by the provisions of such duplicate promissory note.Β Β The Lender shall be entitled to have the Note subdivided into notes of lesser denominations or substituted for new notes, all containing the same terms as the original Note being substituted or subdivided, in connection with an assignment of all or any portion of the Loan pursuant to the terms of SectionΒ 9.8 hereof.
Β
9.17Compliance With Applicable Usury Law.Β Β It is the intent of the parties hereto to comply with the Applicable Usury Law.Β Β Accordingly, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Loan Documents, in no event shall the Loan Documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law.
Β
9.18REFERENCE TO LENDER.Β Β EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW AND FOR FILINGS MADE WITH THE SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STOCK EXCHANGE ON WHICH GUARANTOR'S OR GUARANTORS'Β PARENT'S OR INDIRECT PARENT'S STOCK OR OTHER OWNERSHIP INTEREST IS OR MAY BE TRADED, BORROWER WILL NOT, AT ANY TIME, USE THE NAME OF OR MAKE REFERENCE TO LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMESHARE PROJECT, THE SALE OF TIMESHARE INVENTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER.
Β
58
Β
Β
Β
9.19NO JOINT VENTURE.Β Β THE RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER IS THAT OF DEBTOR AND CREDITOR, AND IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF EITHER OF SUCH PARTIES BY THIS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BEING EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN TO ESTABLISH A PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE WITH BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON, AND THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE CONSTRUED TO BE PARTNERS OR JOINT VENTURERS.
Β
9.20Scope of Reimbursable Attorney's Fees.Β Β As used in the Loan Documents, the term "attorneys' fees" includes the reasonable fees of attorneys licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction, law clerks, paralegals, investigators and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of a licensed attorney.Β Β As used in the Loan Documents, attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in the enforcement of any remedy or covenant include attorneys' fees incurred in any foreclosure of the Loan Documents, in enforcing any rights of indemnification under the Loan Documents, in protecting or sustaining the lien or priority of the Collateral, or in any proceeding arising from or connected with any such matter, including any bankruptcy, receivership, injunction or other similar proceeding, or any appeal from or petition for review of any such matter, and with or without litigation.
Β
9.21Confidentiality.Β Β Borrower and Lender shall mutually agree on the contents of any press release, public announcement or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder to be made following the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided that, (a) the Lender may disclose the terms hereof and give copies of the Loan Documents to assignees and participants and to prospective assignees and participants, and (b) Lender acknowledges that the terms hereof may be disclosed in the periodic filings related to Guarantor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and in the notes to Borrower's and Guarantor's financial statements.Β Β If either party fails to respond to the other party in writing with either an approval or a disapproval within five (5) Business Days of a party's receipt of the other party's request for consent or approval as expressly contemplated pursuant to this Section 9.21, then such consent or approval will be deemed to have been given, provided that such five (5) Business Day period will not commence to run unless and until the other party has received all information, materials, documents and other matters required to be submitted to it hereunder, with respect to such consent or approval and all other information, materials, documents and other matters reasonably essential to its decision process.
Β
9.22Relief from Automatic Stay, Etc.Β To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event Borrower shall make application for or seek relief or protection under the federal bankruptcy code ("Bankruptcy Code") or other Debtor Relief Laws, or in the event that any involuntary petition is filed against the Borrower under such Code or other Debtor Relief Laws, and not dismissed with prejudice within 45 days, the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are hereby modified as to Lender to the extent necessary to implement the provisions hereof permitting setβoff and the filing of financing statements or other instruments or documents; and Lender shall automatically and without demand or notice (each of which is hereby waived) be entitled to immediate relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender as provided in the Loan Documents.

Β
Β
9.23Reliance.Β Β Lender's examination, inspection, or receipt of information pertaining to Borrower, any Guarantor, the Collateral or the Timeshare Project shall not in any way be deemed to reduce the full scope and protection of the warranties, representations and Obligations contained in the Loan Documents.
Β
9.24Limitation of Damages.Β Β Neither Borrower, Lender nor any of its Affiliates or successors shall be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages in connection with any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the Loan Documents (including with limitation damages for loss of profits, business interruption or the like), whether such damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, unless any of such damages arise out of or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party or any of its Affiliates.Β Β Furthermore, as between Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall be responsible for and Lender is hereby released from any claim or liability in connection with:Β
Β

Β
9.25Waiver of Right of First Refusal.Β Β Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives any right of first refusal it may have to purchase Timeshare Inventory (including without limitation the right of first refusal contained in any Timeshare Declaration in favor of Borrower, as declarant) with respect to any Timeshare Inventory acquired by Lender, or its nominee or assignee, through the exercise or enforcement of the Lenderβs rights related to the Collateral under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.Β Β Borrower agrees that in the event that Lender, or its nominee or assignee, acquires title to any such Timeshare Inventory under the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, such Timeshare Inventory may be assigned, transferred or sold free and clear of any right of first refusal in favor of Borrower.
Β
