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
Originator hereby sells (“Sells,” “Sale” or “Sold”) or contributes (“Contribute” or
“Contribution”) (in each case to the extent described in subsection (f)
below) and otherwise transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Issuer, without recourse
(except for Defective Timeshare Loans to the extent specifically provided herein),
and the Issuer hereby agrees to purchase or accept a contribution of (in each case
to the extent described in subsection (f) below) and otherwise acquires, all
right, title and interest of the Originator in and to the Timeshare Loans included
on the schedule delivered to the Issuer 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, Originator shall transfer, or cause the deposit, into the Lockbox
Account of all amounts received by the Originator 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 Originator hereby acknowledges that each sale, contribution and
conveyance to the Issuer hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation
or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Originator.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer,
contribution, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Issuer hereby directs
the Originator and the Originator hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Securitization Custodian, all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Securitization Servicer all
related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.
(d) Collections. The Originator shall deposit or cause to be deposited all
collections in respect of the Timeshare Loans received by the Originator or any of its Affiliates
on and after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account.
(e) Limitation of Liability. None of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee of the
Issuer shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the
2
Issuer or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any
Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Issuer, the
Originator or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly
disclaimed.
(f) Purchase Price/Capital Contribution. 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 Originator by wire transfer on the applicable conveyance date to an account designated by
the Originator on or before such conveyance date or by means of proper accounting entries being
entered upon the accounts and records of the Originator and the Issuer on the applicable conveyance
date. To the extent that the cash amount received for any Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties,
Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral Sold by the
Originator to the Issuer hereunder is less than the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price of such
property at the time of the applicable Sale, the shortfall shall be deemed to have been Contributed
by the Originator to the capital of the Issuer on the applicable conveyance date.
(g) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. Upon the Originator’s Sale or Contribution of the
Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto
and additional collateral to the Issuer, the Originator shall deliver a Schedule of Timeshare
Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and
additional collateral, 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/or contribution and an absolute assignment by the Originator to the
Issuer 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 and/or
contribution, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Originator shall be deemed to have
granted and does hereby grant to the Issuer as of the date hereof a first priority perfected
security interest in all of Originator’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
3
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 Originator as “debtor” and the Issuer 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 treated as a sale
and/or contribution to the Issuer of such Originator’s entire right, title and interest in and to
the Transferred Assets.
Each of the Originator, the Issuer 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 Issuer.
SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Issuer. The
obligations of the Issuer to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions:

registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer or the Securitization
Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Issuer or the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.
(d) On or before the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Securitization Servicer, the Backup
Servicer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Securitization
Indenture.
(e) The Securitization Notes shall be issued and sold on the Closing Date, and the Issuer
shall receive the full consideration due it upon the issuance of the Securitization Notes,
4

certain price (the “Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price”) for each Timeshare Loan, except to the
extent that the Originator has made a Contribution to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2(f).

the Securitization Noteholders as the secured party/assignee, and the Prior Secured

electronic spreadsheet submitted to the Securitization Custodian directly by a third
party service company listing the filing number, date of filing, debtor and secured
party and accompanied by a certification of filing by the third party service

other documents required in respect of each of the Prior Secured Parties.

Originator shall deliver or cause the delivery of the Title Policies (as defined in
the Escrow Agreement) within 90 days of the Closing Date and each Transfer Date, as

(b) Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties relating to the Timeshare Loans
contained in Schedule I hereto for the benefit of the Issuer and its assignees as of the Closing
Date (with respect to each Timeshare Loan transferred on the Closing Date).
(c) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth
in this Section 5 shall survive the (i) transfer of each Timeshare Loan to the Issuer and (ii) the
subsequent pledge of such Timeshare Loans and rights and remedies hereunder to the Securitization
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders and shall continue so long as any
such Timeshare Loans shall remain outstanding or until such time as such Timeshare Loans are
repurchased, purchased or a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan is provided pursuant to Section 6
hereof. The Originator acknowledges that it has been advised that the Issuer intends to pledge,
transfer, assign and convey all of its right, title and interest in and to each Timeshare Loan and
its rights and remedies under this Agreement to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Securitization Noteholders. The Originator agrees that, upon any such assignment, the
Securitization Indenture Trustee may enforce directly,
12
without joinder of the Issuer (but subject to any defense that Originator may have under this
Agreement) all rights and remedies hereunder.
(d) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5 which are made
to Originator’s Knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and warranty is inaccurate
and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests
of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee thereof, then notwithstanding such lack of Knowledge of
the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such representation or warranty was
made (without regard to any Knowledge qualifiers), such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such
representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described in
Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) below.
SECTION 6. Repurchases and Substitutions.
(a) Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by Originator of a breach of any of its respective
representations and warranties (as of the date on which such representation or warranty was made)
or covenants in Section 5 which materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or
the interests of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer therein, Originator shall
within 60 days of receipt of such notice, cure in all material respects the circumstance or
condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or covenant to be
breached or either (i) repurchase the Issuer’s or its assignee’s interest in such related defective
Timeshare Loan (the “Defective Timeshare Loan”) from the Issuer or its assignee at the Repurchase
Price or (ii) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the related
Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any; provided, however, that with respect to a
breach of the representation contained in clause (d)(ii) in Schedule I hereto, the
Originator shall either (i) repurchase the Issuer’s or its assignee’s interest in the related
Defective Timeshare Loan or (ii) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay
the related Substitution Shortfall Amounts, if any, within 30 days after the Closing Date.
(b) Repurchase of Upgraded Timeshare Loans. With respect to any Upgraded Timeshare
Loan in the pool of Timeshare Loans that have been conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement or
the Loan Sale Agreement (the “Timeshare Loan Pool”), on any date, the Originator shall prepay such
Upgraded Timeshare Loan on behalf of the related Obligor by depositing the related Repurchase Price
in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.5(e) in the Indenture.
(c) Optional Purchases or Substitution of Defaulted Timeshare Loans. With respect to
any Defaulted Timeshare Loan in the Timeshare Loan Pool, on any date, the Originator shall have the
option, but not the obligation, to either (i) purchase the Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Default
Purchase Price for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Defaulted Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution
Shortfall Amount, if any; provided, however, that the option to purchase a
Defaulted Timeshare Loan or to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such
Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to the Optional Purchase Limit; provided,
further, that the Originator’s option to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is limited on any date to
13
the Optional Substitution Limit. If the Originator shall purchase Defaulted Timeshare Loans
or substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for Defaulted Timeshare Loans as
provided herein, the Originator shall deposit the related Default Purchase Price or Substitution
Shortfall Amount, as applicable, in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.5(e) under the
Indenture. The Originator may irrevocably waive its option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan
or substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan by
delivering or causing to be delivered to the Securitization Indenture Trustee a Waiver Letter in
the form of Exhibit G attached to the Indenture. The holder or holders of Notes
representing at least 66-2/3% of the Adjusted Note Balance may at any time direct the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, in connection with any subsequent purchases of Defaulted
Timeshare Loans by the Originator, to require the Originator to conduct a public auction in respect
of any such Defaulted Timeshare Loan. The Originator may bid on any such Defaulted Timeshare Loan
during such auction, provided that no such bid may be lower than fifteen percent (15%) of the
original acquisition price paid for the Timeshare Property by the Obligor under such Defaulted
Timeshare Loan. Publication of notice of such auction in a newspaper published daily in Dallas,
Texas, shall be sufficient notice of such auction.
(d) Optional Purchase of Force Majeure Loans. If a Force Majeure Event occurs at a
Resort, the Originator shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the related Force
Majeure Loans in the Timeshare Loan Pool, so long as such Timeshare Loans have not become Defaulted
Timeshare Loans. The Originator will have the option to purchase a Force Majeure Loan at the Force
Majeure Purchase Price; provided, however, that (i) the Originator’s
option to purchase a Force Majeure Loan is limited on any date to the Force Majeure Purchase Limit
and (ii) the Originator shall have the right to exercise such purchase option for a Force Majeure
Loan only if the related Force Majeure Purchase Price equals or exceeds the Loan Balance of such
Force Majeure Loan as of the date of such purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(e) Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. The Issuer hereby
directs and Originator hereby agrees to remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in respect of
Repurchase Prices, Default Purchase Prices, Force Majeure Purchase Prices and Substitution
Shortfall Amounts payable during the related Due Period in immediately available funds to the
Securitization Indenture Trustee to be deposited in the Collection Account on the related Transfer
Date in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. In the event that more than one Timeshare
Loan is substituted pursuant to Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution
Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated
on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.
(f) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Issuer hereby directs and Originator hereby
agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased, purchased or substituted to
provide the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee with an electronic supplement to
Schedule III hereto and the Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal,
substitution and/or other addition of such Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.
14
(g) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On the related Transfer Date, the Issuer
hereby directs and Originator hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the Timeshare
Loan Files of the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Securitization 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, Originator does hereby transfer, assign, sell,
contribute and grant to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8
hereof), any and all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Issuer 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 and/or contribution, 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(g) shall
immediately vest in the Issuer, its successors and assigns. Originator 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. Originator agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be
subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(h) Officer’s Certificate. Originator shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify
in writing to the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan
meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the
Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the
Securitization Custodian, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Securitization Servicer.
(i) Release. In connection with any repurchase, purchase or substitution of one or
more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained
in this Section 6, the Issuer 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 Originator, in each case, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
Originator or its designee (or to evidence the vesting in such Person of) the legal and beneficial
ownership of such released Timeshare Loans. The Issuer shall cause the Securitization Indenture
Trustee to cause the Securitization Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to
Originator or its designee and the Securitization Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan
Servicing Files to Originator or its designee.
(j) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of Originator
contained in Section 6(a) to cure a material breach, or to repurchase or substitute related
Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of Originator to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 shall
constitute the sole remedies available to the Issuer or its subsequent assignees for the breaches
of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 5, and such remedies are not
intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to Originator.
15
SECTION 7. Additional Covenants of the Originator.
(a) Originator hereby covenants and agrees with the Issuer as follows:
(i) It shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders
applicable to it and its business and properties except where the failure to comply
will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it
is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the
validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.
(ii) It shall preserve and maintain for itself its existence (corporate or
otherwise), rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its
organization and except where the failure to so preserve and maintain will not have
a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or
under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity of
enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.

statements with respect to the Transferred Assets transferred hereunder, naming the
Originator as debtor and naming as secured parties the Issuer and the Securitization

manner reasonably requested by the Issuer. It shall deliver file-stamped copies of
such financing statements to the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Securitization Noteholders.
(vi) It agrees from time to time, at its expense, promptly to execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that
may be necessary, or that the Issuer or the Securitization Indenture Trustee may
reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale or
contribution of the Timeshare Loans, or to enable the Issuer or the Securitization
Indenture Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under
any Timeshare Loan including, but not limited to, powers of attorney, UCC financing
statements and assignments of mortgage.
(vii) Any change in the legal name of the Originator and any use by it of any
tradename, fictitious name, assumed name or “doing business as” name occurring after
the Closing Date shall be promptly disclosed to the Issuer and the Securitization
Indenture Trustee in writing.
16
(viii) Upon the discovery or receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of
Originator of a breach of any of its representations or warranties and covenants
contained herein, Originator shall promptly disclose to the Issuer and the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, in reasonable detail, the nature of such breach.
(ix) In the event that Originator shall receive any payments in respect of a

two (2) Business Days of receipt, transfer or cause to be transferred, such payments
to the Lockbox Account.
(x) Originator will keep its principal place of business and chief executive
office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the Timeshare Loans at
the address of Originator listed herein.
(xi) In the event that the Originator or the Issuer or any assignee of the
Issuer should receive actual notice of any transfer taxes arising out of the
transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Timeshare Loan from the Originator to the
Issuer, on written demand by the Issuer, or upon the Originator otherwise being
given notice thereof, Originator shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold the
Issuer, and any subsequent assignee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and
against any and all such transfer taxes.
(xii) The Originator authorizes the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture
Trustee to file continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the
Timeshare Loans and all payments made with regard to the related Timeshare Loans
without the signature of the Originator where permitted by law. A photocopy or
other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement
where permitted by law. The Issuer confirms that it is not its present intention to
file a photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement as a financing statement,
but reserves the right to do so if, in its good faith determination, there is at
such time no reasonable alternative remaining to it.
(xiii) The Originator shall not prepare any financial statements or other
statements (including any tax filings) which shall account for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than as the sale of, or a capital
contribution of, the Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and
other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral by the Originator
to the Issuer.
SECTION 8. Indemnification.
(a) Originator hereby agrees to indemnify the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee,
the Securitization Noteholders and the Initial Purchaser (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”)
against any and all claims, losses or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and related
costs) that the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders or the
Initial Purchaser may sustain directly related to any breach of
17
the representations and warranties and covenants of Originator under Section 5 hereof (the
“Indemnified Amounts”) excluding, however (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party; (ii) any recourse for
any uncollectible Timeshare Loan not related to a breach of representation or warranty; (iii)
recourse to Originator for a related Defective Timeshare Loan so long as the same is cured,
substituted or repurchased pursuant to Section 6 hereof; or (iv) income or similar taxes by such
Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the transfer of the Timeshare
Loans. The parties hereto shall (A) promptly notify the other parties hereto, the Securitization
Indenture Trustee, and the Initial Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to
this Agreement or the Timeshare Loans, and relating to (1) the failure by Originator to perform its
duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (2) a breach of Originator’s
representations, covenants or warranties contained in this Agreement, (B) assume (with the consent
of the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders or the Initial
Purchaser, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) the defense of any such
claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including legal counsel fees and (C) promptly
pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment, order or decree which may be entered against it or the
Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders or the Initial
Purchaser in respect of such claim. If Originator shall have made any indemnity payment pursuant
to this Section 8 and the recipient thereafter collects from another Person any amount relating to
the matters covered by the foregoing indemnity, the recipient shall promptly repay such amount to
Originator.
(b) The obligations of Originator under this Section 8 to indemnify the Issuer, the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders and the Initial Purchaser shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and continue until the Notes are paid in full or
otherwise released or discharged.
SECTION 9. No Proceedings. The Originator hereby agrees that it will not, directly or
indirectly, institute, or cause to be instituted, or join any Person in instituting, against the
Issuer or any Association, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law so long as
there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the latest maturing Securitization Notes
issued by the Issuer.
SECTION 10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing and mailed or telecommunicated, or delivered

SECTION 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Issuer, the
Securitization Indenture Trustee or any assignee thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies
provided by law.
SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Originator, the Issuer and their respective successors and assigns.
Any assignee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to directly
enforce this Agreement. The Originator may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Issuer and any assignee thereof.
The Issuer may, and intends to, assign all of its rights to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Securitization Noteholders, and the Originator 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 Originator pursuant to Section 5, and the cure, repurchase or substitution and
indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this
Agreement, but such rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Issuer 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 Originator 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 Issuer 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 Originator in any case shall, in itself, entitle it to any other
consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The Originator acknowledges
that in connection with the intended assignment by the Issuer 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 Issuer intends to issue the
19
Notes, the proceeds of which will be used by the Issuer, 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
Issuer may not purchase or acquire Timeshare Loans, the transactions evidenced hereby shall
constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale or contribution, notwithstanding the otherwise
applicable intent of the parties hereto, and the Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the
Issuer as of the date hereof, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Timeshare Loans and the related
property as described in Section 2 hereof.
