Such rescoring shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. After such rescoring and based upon the rescored numbers, Borrower must still be in compliance with restrictions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth in this Section 2.2(e).
(f) Method of Funding. The funding of Advances shall be in accordance with such procedures as Lender may require, including without limitation, disbursement through an escrow agent acceptable to Lender.

Lender will open and maintain on its books a Loan Account (the “Loan Account”) with respect to Advances made, repayments, the computation and payment of interest and fees and the computation and final payment of all other amounts due and sums paid to Lender under this Agreement and with respect to the Receivables Loan. Except in the case of manifest error in computation, the Loan Account will be conclusive and binding on Borrower as to the amount at any time due to Lender from Borrower under this Agreement or the Receivables Loan Note as an account stated, except to the extent that Lender receives a written notice from Borrower of any specific exceptions of Borrower thereto within forty-five (45) days after the date the applicable Loan Account statement has been delivered to Borrower.

Borrower agrees that the correcting or curing by Lender of an Incipient Default or Event of Default shall not cure the Incipient Default or Event of Default under this Agreement. Such excess amounts funded shall be deemed evidenced by the Receivables Loan Note to the fullest extent possible and then by this Agreement, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall also be secured by the Collateral, the Guaranty, and all other security and collateral for the Receivables Loan. Borrower hereby agrees to execute additional notes, Assignments and other additional Loan Documents, and modifications thereto, promptly upon request by Lender, in favor of Lender, evidencing and securing amounts funded in excess of the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount.
20

2.12 Extension of the Receivables Loan Advance Period. Lender, at its sole option, may elect to extend the initial twenty-four (24) month Receivables Loan Advance Period by two (2) extension periods of twelve (12) months each; provided, however that any such extension shall be on the same material terms and conditions as this Agreement, as amended or modified from time to time. In order to exercise each extension option, Lender must give Borrower written notice of the exercise of such extension at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that otherwise would be the last day of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, as it may have been previously extended. Such written notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto. Each extension shall be deemed effective upon Lender giving the required written notice and without any further action on the part of Borrower.
2.13 Allocation of Pledged Timeshare Loans Among Lenders. Borrower agrees that in allocating which Timeshare Loans to assign to Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall not adversely select to allocate to Lender otherwise Qualified Timeshare Loans based on Project location, in a proportion materially different from Borrower’s other lenders.
3. Interest Rate.
3.1 Primary Interest Rate. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan as follows:
(a) From the Closing Date until, but not including, the first day of the month following the month during which the Closing Date occurs, at a yearly rate which is equal to two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate in effect on the Closing Date, provided that, in no event shall the interest rate on the Receivables Loan be less than 5.75% per annum.
(b) On the first day of the month following the month during which the Closing Date occurs and on the first day of each month thereafter, the yearly rate at which interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan shall be increased or decreased to a rate which is equal to two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate in effect on such date, provided that, in no event shall the interest rate on the Receivables Loan be less than 5.75% per annum.
21
3.2 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan Note and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents at a rate (the “Default Rate”) which is four (4) percentage points higher than the rate provided in Section 3.1. Any judgment obtained for sums due under the Receivables Loan Note or other Obligations under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Default Rate is reasonable in light of the increased risk of collection after occurrence of an Event of Default.
3.3 Calculation of Interest. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and charged upon the actual number of days elapsed. Interest will accrue on balances as of the date Lender wires such funds to Borrower.
3.4 Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. Lender and Borrower intend to comply at all times with Applicable Usury Laws. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Applicable Usury Law (including the applicable choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrower. Such refund may be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any outstanding Obligations, applied in such order as Lender may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the outstanding Obligations, the portion exceeding the outstanding Obligations will be refunded by Lender. Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any Event of Default. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by Applicable Usury Law, any non-principal payment, including, without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.
All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness incurred by Borrower hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the term of such indebtedness until payment in full, so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to the Receivables Loan.
4. Fees.
4.1 Receivables Loan Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a Receivables Loan fee equal to $750,000 (the “Receivables Loan Fee”) which is due and payable on August 28, 2008. This Receivables Loan Fee is fully earned by Lender and shall not be refundable in whole or in part, notwithstanding that the full Maximum Receivables Loan Amount is not advanced. Lender is irrevocably authorized to advance the sums necessary to pay such Receivables Loan Fee to itself from the proceeds of any Advance under the Receivables Loan or as an Advance under the Receivables Loan without any further Request for Advance form from Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that less than $75,000,000 is committed to Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or (d) or due to a default by a participant and Lender has not replaced such participant in a timely manner, then a portion of the Receivables Loan Fee
22
shall be refunded to Borrower in a pro rata amount, taking into account the decrease in the committed amount and the number of months elapsed in the Receivables Loan Advance Period. For example, if a participant holding a participation interest in the amount of $5,000,000 defaults under its participation agreement with Lender eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, then the pro rata amount of the Receivables Loan Fee to be refunded to Borrower would be equal to: $5,000,000/$75,000,000 * 6 months/24 months * $750,000 = $12,500.
4.2 Late Charge. In the event that any payment required under the Receivables Loan is not received by Lender within ten (10) Business Days after the due date, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the amount due and payable to defray the expenses incident to handling such delinquent payments, and to compensate Lender for the harm and damages related to such late payments. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that such late charges are reasonable in light of the anticipated and the actual harm caused by the late payments; the difficulties of proof of loss, harm and damages; and the inconvenience and non-feasibility of Lender otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. Acceptance of such late charge will not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and will not prevent the Lender from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents.
4.3 Non-Utilization Fee. Subject to Section 5.7 below, on the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement and on each anniversary date thereafter during the Receivables Loan Advance Period, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a non-utilization fee equal to .25% per annum of the difference between (a) Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), and (b) the average outstanding monthly principal balance of the Receivables Loan during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period. Such non-utilization fee shall be payable on or before the 15th day following the anniversary date of this Agreement during the Receivables Loan Advance Period. Lender is irrevocably authorized to advance the sums necessary to pay such fee to itself from the proceeds of any Advance under the Receivables Loan or as an Advance under the Receivables Loan without any further Request for Advance form from Borrower. If the average monthly outstanding principal balance of the Receivables Loan was equal to or greater than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) during such twelve (12) month period, then such fee shall not be due.
4.4 Renewal Fee. Subject to Section 5.7 below, in the event that Lender exercises any one or more options under Section 2.12 to extend the Receivables Loan Advance Period, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a renewal fee (“Renewal Fee”) equal to .25% of the Maximum Receivables Loan Amount ($187,000) for each extension option exercised by Lender. The Renewal Fee for the first extension option (if exercised) shall be due and payable in full on the second anniversary date of this Agreement. The Renewal Fee for the second extension option (if exercised) shall be due and payable in full on the third anniversary date of this Agreement. Lender is irrevocably authorized to advance the sums necessary to pay such fees to itself from the proceeds of any Advance under the Receivables Loan.
4.5 Change of Control Fee. In the event that a Change of Control occurs as of or at any time prior to the second anniversary date of this Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an amount equal to the greater of (a) $1,000,000 (the “Change of Control Fee”) or (b) the prepayment fee that would otherwise be due and payable to Lender
23
pursuant to Section 5.6 below. In the event that a Change of Control occurs at any time after the second anniversary date of this Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the prepayment fee then due and payable to Lender pursuant to Section 5.6 below. Such Change of Control Fee or prepayment fee, as applicable, shall be fully earned and due and payable in full upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and shall not be refundable in whole or in part.
5. Payments.
5.1 Collections. (a) All payments (principal, interest and fees) made on account of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be paid to Lender via wire transfer once each Business Day pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all such amounts received by Lender shall be applied twice a month by Lender, on the first (1st) and fifteenth (15th) day of the month (i) first to the payment of any fees, costs, expenses, charges and indemnification obligations payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents, including without limitation those payable under Section 25.6 and Section 25.19, or past due amounts owing by Borrower to Lender in connection with the Receivables Loan, (ii) second, to interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan through the preceding Business Day, (iii) third, to the principal balance of the Receivables Loan, and (iv) finally, to all other unpaid Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all payments on the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans may be applied by Lender towards the repayment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect.
(b) In the event that the (collections with respect to the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans) received by Lender include payments for items other than principal and interest payable under the Notes assigned to Lender (e.g. tax and insurance impounds, maintenance and other Assessment payments, late charges, “NSF” or returned check charges, misdirected payments or deposits, etc.), Lender shall remit such other payments back to Borrower provided that (i) no Event of Default or Incipient Default exists, (ii) Borrower requests in writing that Lender remit such other payments back to Borrower, (iii) Borrower specifically identifies (inclusive of the amount of) such other payments, (iv) Borrower provides Lender with back-up to support the claim that such payments should not be part of the proceeds of Collateral, and (v) if such amount is actually remitted to Borrower, then Lender may adjust the Receivables Loan balance to give effect to such remitted amounts to Borrower.
(c) Whether or not the collections on account of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans or the proceeds of the Collateral shall be sufficient for that purpose, Borrower shall pay when due all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts required to be made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Borrower’s obligation to make the payments required by the terms of the Loan Documents is absolute and unconditional.
5.2 Additional Mandatory Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Receivables Loan outstanding is greater than (a) ninety percent (90%) multiplied by the remaining principal payments due under Qualified Timeshare Loans comprising the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, or (b) any other restriction or limitation set forth in this Agreement, including without
24
limitation, those set forth in Section 2.2, then within ten (10) days after notice to Borrower, Borrower agrees to either (i) prepay an amount equal to such difference together with accrued interest thereon, (ii) pledge additional Qualified Timeshare Loans as part of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans in an amount sufficient to cure the deficiency, or (iii) prepay, in part, and pledge additional Qualified Timeshare Loans, in part, in a total amount sufficient to cure the deficiency. For purposes of calculating required payments under this section, any Delinquent Loans or Timeshare Loans described in Sections 11.1(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not be deemed to be Qualified Timeshare Loans.
5.3 Minimum Payments. In the event that the amounts received by Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 are insufficient to pay the accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Receivables Loan for any calendar month, then and in that event, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the unpaid accrued interest for such month within five (5) Business Days after notice from Lender.
5.4 Final Payment Date. If not sooner paid, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender all amounts owing by Borrower to Lender on account of the Receivables Loan and all other Obligations owing by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the Receivables Loan Maturity Date. In the event that Lender exercises one or more of the extension options for the Receivables Loan Advance Period under Section 2.12, the Receivable Loan Maturity Date shall automatically also be extended by an additional twelve (12) month period for each extension option. If the first extension option is exercised, the Receivables Loan Maturity Date shall be August 27, 2015. If the second extension option is exercised, the Receivables Loan Maturity Date shall be August 27, 2016.
5.5 Reinstatement of Obligations. Borrower agrees that, to the extent any payment or payments are made on any Obligations and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the Obligations or any part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.
5.6 Prepayments. Borrower may not prepay any of the principal balance of the Receivables Loan during the Receivables Loan Advance Period, as it may be extended. After the end of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, as it may be extended, Borrower may prepay all or any part of the principal balance of the Receivables Loan following delivery of not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and upon payment of the applicable fee set forth below. Any prepayment shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to make all regularly scheduled payments hereunder. The following prepayment fees on the Receivables Loan shall be payable:
(a) Each prepayment made in the first Loan Year shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 3% of the principal amount prepaid;
(b) Each prepayment made in the second Loan Year shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 2% of the principal amount prepaid;
25
(c) Each prepayment made in the third Loan Year shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the principal amount prepaid; and
(d) Any prepayment made after the third Loan Year shall not require any prepayment fee.
In the event that Lender voluntarily agrees to accept a prepayment prior to the end of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, as it may be extended, or is compelled to accept a prepayment prior to the end of the Receivables Loan Advance Period, as it may be extended, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a prepayment fee equal to 5% of the amount prepaid.
In the event Lender exercises its right to accelerate payments under the Receivables Loan following an Event of Default or otherwise, any tender of payment of the amount necessary to repay all or part of the Receivables Loan made thereafter at any time by Borrower, its successors or assigns or by anyone on behalf of Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment and in connection therewith Lender shall be entitled to receive the fee required to be paid under the foregoing prepayment restrictions.
Borrower shall be entitled (and is obligated) to prepay the balance of the Receivables Loan to the extent such prepayment results from a shortfall in sums received from Purchasers under Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans and to the extent such prepayment results from a formerly Qualified Timeshare Loan no longer being deemed “Qualified”. Borrower shall not be liable to pay a prepayment fee resulting from payments described in the immediately preceding sentence, unless Borrower has solicited accelerated payments from Purchasers.
Borrower shall also be entitled to prepay the balance of the Receivables Loan, without any prepayment fee, to the extent such prepayment results from a Timeshare Loan being removed from the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans due to a refinance of the Note related thereto resulting from an upgrade by a Purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.6, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Borrower shall be obligated to prepay the balance of the Receivables Loan in accordance with Section 5.7 below, together with the prepayment fee or Change of Control Fee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.5 above.
The prepayment fees shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender as a result of such prepayment and Borrower agrees that such prepayment fees are reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The prepayment fees provided for in this Section shall be deemed included in the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.
Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, no prepayment fee shall be payable in the event that Borrower prepays the Receivable Loan in order to be able to include the Timeshare Loans within the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans as part of a securitization transaction or similar conduit transaction, provided that: (A) Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice for each prepayment; (B) such prepayments do not occur more frequently than twice during any one calendar year; and (C) such prepayments involve the prepayment of the entire balance of the Receivables Loan in whole and not in part.
26
5.7 Change of Control Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender all amounts owing by Borrower to Lender on account of the Receivables Loan and all other Obligations owing by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Change of Control Fee or prepayment fee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.5 above. Upon such payment, and without limiting the effect of such payment, no further non-utilization fee or Renewal Fee, as set forth in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 respectively, shall be due by Borrower to Lender.
5.8 Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all collections received by Lender with respect to the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be applied to the Obligations as set forth in Section 5.1. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all other payments received by Lender with respect to the Receivables Loan shall be applied to the Obligations as directed by Borrower, or if no direction is received by Lender, as Lender may elect in its discretion. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender at its option, may apply any and all collections and other payments received from Borrower with respect to any of the Collateral to accrued interest, outstanding principal and other sums due hereunder, under the Loan Documents in such order and with respect to the Obligations, as Lender in its discretion elects. To the extent that Borrower fails to pay to Lender any fees, costs, expenses, charges or indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents, Lender, at its option, may apply all or part of such payments towards such fees, costs, expenses and indemnification obligations.
5.9 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, any failure of Borrower to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, but only to the extent that any such loss or expense did not arise out of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense which constitutes the failure to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement), it will notify Borrower in writing of the amount determined in good faith by Lender to be necessary to indemnify it for such loss or expense. Such amount will be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within five (5) Business Days after presentation by Lender of a statement setting forth a brief explanation of and its calculation of such amount, which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent manifest error. Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section will bear interest at the Default Rate from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment.
5.10 General. The Receivables Loan, all interest thereon and all other sums payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be paid in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars according to the terms of the Loan Documents.
6. Security; Guaranties.
6.1 Security. The Obligations shall be secured by, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to, all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):
27
(a) All Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, together with all Purchase Agreements, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents related thereto; all payments due or to become due thereunder in whatever form, including without limitation cash, checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money; and all books and records, including all computer records, relating thereto.
(b) All proceeds, property, property rights, privileges and benefits arising out of, from the enforcement of, or in connection with, all present and future Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans and all Purchase Agreements, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents related thereto, including without limitation, to the extent applicable, all property returned by or reclaimed or repossessed from purchasers thereunder, all rights of foreclosure, termination, dispossession, repossession, all documents, instruments, contracts, liens and security instruments and guaranties relating to such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents, all collateral and other security securing the obligations of any Person under or relating to such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents, including, without limitation, all Owner Beneficiary Rights under the Trust Agreement in respect of such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans and all of the Borrower’s rights or interest in all other property (personal or other), if any, the sale of which gave rise to such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, all rights and remedies of whatever kind or nature Borrower may hold or acquire for the purpose of securing or enforcing such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents, and all general intangibles relating to or arising out of such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Mortgages, Notes and other Consumer Documents.
(c) All of Borrower’s accounts receivable, chattel paper, contract rights, documents, instruments, pre-authorized account debit agreements, general intangibles and choses-in-action, claims and judgments, solely related to all Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
(d) All of Borrower’s rights under any Title Insurance Policies covering Mortgages assigned to Lender in which Borrower now or hereafter has any interest to the extent related to any Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
(e) Any and all proceeds of the foregoing.
(f) Any and all other property now or hereafter serving as security for the Obligations.
All liens and security interests shall be first priority liens and security interests. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Codes of the State of Connecticut and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Connecticut and Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Codes.
The above-described liens and security interests shall not be rendered void by the fact that no Obligations in respect of the Receivables Loan exist as of any particular date, but
28
shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pertaining to the Receivables Loan have been fully and finally paid, performed and satisfied, Lender has no agreement or commitment outstanding pursuant to which Lender may extend credit to or on behalf of Borrower and Lender has executed termination statements or releases with respect thereto. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF BORROWER THAT ALL OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL SECURE ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER TO LENDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
6.2 Endorsement of Notes; Assignment and Delivery. The original Note evidencing each of the Timeshare Loans shall be delivered to Lender and shall be endorsed to Lender with the following signed form of Endorsement:

To the extent that any of such Notes had previously been endorsed by Borrower to another Person, such Person shall have re-endorsed such Notes back to Borrower.
Each of the Timeshare Loans shall be collaterally assigned to Lender by written Assignment (the “Assignment”), duly executed on behalf of Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, provided that a batch Assignment shall also be deemed acceptable to Lender. Each Assignment shall be in a form which is properly recordable in the applicable real estate records in the state in which the applicable Project is located.
Lender has agreed that it will not record an Assignment in such real estate records for a period of ten (10) months after such Assignment is executed by Borrower, provided that: (a) each and every Assignment may be recorded by Lender, at its sole discretion, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Incipient Default, and (b) an Assignment may be recorded prior to the expiration of such ten (10) month period, if the Legal Requirements for the state in which the applicable Project covered by the Assignment is located requires that such Assignment be recorded within a period shorter than ten (10) months after the Assignment is executed in order for such Assignment to be accepted for recording, valid and enforceable and not subject to challenge. Borrower shall pay any actual recording or filing fees and any taxes, charges and/or expenses associated therewith upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from Lender.
6.3 Lockbox Agreement. All amounts payable on account of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be received by a financial institution or other entity approved by Lender (“Lockbox Bank”) and transmitted by Lockbox Bank to Lender or any entity designated by Lender in accordance with the provisions of an agreement among Borrower, Lender, Servicer and Lockbox Bank in form and content acceptable to Borrower and Lender (the “Lockbox Agreement”). Bank of America, N.A. shall be deemed by Lender to be an approved Lockbox Bank. All payments on account of Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be
29
deposited in an account maintained by Borrower for the benefit of Lender with the Lockbox Bank and shall be transmitted to Lender by wire transfer by the Lockbox Bank once each Business Day, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement. At any time after Lockbox Bank shall fail to keep and perform its obligations under the Lockbox Agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, Borrower shall, upon the written request of Lender, promptly terminate such agreement in accordance with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement.
At any time after Lockbox Bank shall fail to keep and perform its obligations under the Lockbox Agreement to the satisfaction of Lender, Borrower shall, upon the written request of Lender, terminate such agreement in accordance with its terms. If the Lockbox Agreement shall be terminated by Lender, the Lockbox Bank or, with the consent of Lender, by Borrower, Borrower shall, prior to the effective date of such termination, enter into a similar arrangement with another financial institution satisfactory to Lender, or at Lender’s option make other arrangements satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, for the collection and transmittal to Lender of payments made on account of Timeshare Loans then and thereafter assigned to Lender pursuant to this Agreement.
Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that an action for damages for any breach of the requirements of this Section 6.3 shall not be an adequate remedy at law. In the event of any such breach, Borrower agrees to the fullest extent allowed by law that Lender shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain such breach and require compliance with such requirements.
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any claims, demands, expenses, costs, damages, liabilities, setoffs, recoupments and expenses associated with the Lockbox Agreement regardless of whether or not Lockbox Bank is liable or responsible for such items under the express terms of the Lockbox Agreement, except to the extent such claims, demands, expenses, costs, damages, liabilities, setoffs, recoupments and expenses are found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or Lockbox Bank. By way of example, but without limiting any other possibilities, Borrower shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any claims, demands, expenses, costs, damages, liabilities, setoffs, recoupments and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) both legal and equitable, associated with the Lockbox Agreement regardless of whether or not Lockbox Bank may avoid or limit its responsibility by claiming (i) that Lender had a duty to notify Lockbox Bank of any errors, discrepancies and/or irregularities under the Lockbox Agreement, (ii) that Lockbox Bank’s liability cannot exceed the service charges charged in connection with the Lockbox Agreement for the most recent twelve-month period, and (iii) that Lockbox Bank’s liability does not extend to special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages.
6.4 Servicing Agreement. The Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be serviced by Borrower (in its capacity as servicer, and any third party successor servicer, the “Servicer”), provided that, the terms and conditions of such servicing shall at all times be acceptable to Lender and Borrower and shall be in writing in the form of a bi-party servicing agreement between Borrower and Lender (the “Servicing Agreement”). At any time after Servicer shall fail to keep and perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement to the
30
satisfaction of Lender, Lender may terminate such agreement in accordance with the terms of such Servicing Agreement and may engage a third party servicer, including without limitation, Concord Servicing Corporation (“Concord”), to handle the servicing of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans pursuant to the provisions of an agreement among Borrower, Lender and Concord in form substantially similar to that set forth in Exhibit L attached hereto.
6.5 Custodial Agreement. The Loan Files related to the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans shall be held for the benefit of Lender by U.S. Bank National Association or another entity approved by Lender (“Custodian”) pursuant to the provisions of an agreement among Lender, Borrower and Custodian in form and content acceptable to Lender, Custodian and Borrower (the “Custodial Agreement”). At any time after Custodian shall fail to keep and perform its obligations under the Custodial Agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, Lender may terminate such agreement in accordance with the terms of such Custodial Agreement.
6.6 Notice to Purchasers.
(a) Each Purchaser with a Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan shall be directed by Borrower, in writing, to make all payments on account of such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan (i) by automatic debit to such Purchaser’s bank account, to be initiated by and to be paid to Lockbox Bank; (ii) by check payable to the order of Borrower pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and to mail such checks to the Lockbox Bank at the address specified in the Lockbox Agreement; or (iii) by credit card payment for processing through Borrower’s merchant account with such payment to be deposited through the Lockbox Bank into Lender’s deposit account.
(b) Borrower shall deliver to Lender at the Closing, a form of notice to Purchasers advising them of the collateral assignment of their Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan to Lender and directing that all payments on account of such Purchaser’s Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan be made as directed in Section 6.6(a), which notice (the “Notice to Purchasers”) shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Lender shall have the right, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to send an original or a copy of such Notice to Purchasers to each Purchaser with a Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan.
(c) In addition, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power of attorney, at Borrower’s cost, to give notice in writing or otherwise, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in such form or manner as Lender may deem advisable in its sole discretion, to each Purchaser with a Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan of such assignment with direction to make all payments on account of such Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan in accordance with such instructions as Lender may deem advisable in its sole discretion. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.
(d) Borrower authorizes Lender and Servicer (but Lender and Servicer shall not be obligated) to communicate at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with any Purchaser or any other Person primarily or
31
secondarily liable under a Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan with regard to the lien of Lender thereon and any other matter relating thereto.
6.7 Payments to be Forwarded. If Borrower shall, at any time and for any reason, receive any payment on account of any Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loan, it shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall deliver such payment, in the form received, with any necessary endorsements, within two (2) Business Days after receipt, to the Lockbox Bank for collection and deposit as required in the Lockbox Agreement.
6.8 Cancellation and Modifications of Notes. As long as any Timeshare Loan is included in the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans, Borrower shall not cancel or modify the Note related thereto; provided, however, that Borrower may modify the Note in connection with a Permitted Modification.
6.9 Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents or otherwise to the contrary, after prior written notice to Lender, Borrower at its expense may contest, by appropriate legal or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity of any tax, charge, assessment, statute, regulation, or any monetary lien on the Collateral, so long as: (i) in the case of an unpaid tax, charge, assessment or lien, such proceedings suspend the collection thereof from Borrower and the Collateral, and shall not interfere with the payment of any monies due under the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) none of the Collateral is, in the judgment of Lender, in any imminent danger of being sold, forfeited or lost; (iii) in the case of a statute or regulation, neither Borrower nor Lender is in any danger of any civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith; and (iv) Borrower has furnished such security, if any, as may be required in the proceedings or as Lender reasonably requests up to 100% of the amount in controversy.
7. Representations and Warranties. As an inducement to Lender to advance funds to Borrower, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
7.1 Organization; Power.
(a) Borrower. Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, duly licensed or qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character or location of the properties owned by it or the business transacted by it requires such licensing or qualification, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, having full power and lawful authority to enter into the Loan Documents, perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and carry on its business as it is now being conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
(b) Associations. Each Association is a non-profit corporation or cooperative association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction in which the applicable Project is located, having full power and lawful authority to perform its obligations under the applicable related Declaration and
32
applicable Management Agreement, and carry on its business as it is now being conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
7.2 Licenses. Borrower and its Affiliates, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Associations and their respective employees, servants and agents have and will have all material licenses, permits, consent, orders, registrations, approvals and other authority as may be necessary to enable them to own and operate their business, to perform all services and business which they have agreed to perform in any state, municipality or other jurisdiction, to operate the Projects, to sell Timeshare Interests and to make Timeshare Loans.
7.3 Transaction is Legal and Enforceable. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and the performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and thereunder are within the powers and purposes of Borrower. This Agreement and all other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party are valid, legal and binding upon Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms.
7.4 Due Authorization; No Legal Restrictions. The execution and delivery by Borrower of the Loan Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the fulfillment and compliance with the respective terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents: (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of Borrower, (b) will not conflict with or result in a breach of, nor constitute a default (or which would reasonably be expected to, upon the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a default) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance or Borrower’s Governing Documents or any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, instrument or other document to which Borrower may be bound or affected, or any judgment or order of any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, and (c) will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower under the terms or provisions of any such agreement or instrument, except liens in favor of Lender.
7.5 No Breach or Default of Other Agreements; Compliance with Other Agreements. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents on behalf of Borrower nor the performance by Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby (a) will violate any provision of any applicable Legal Requirements, or (b) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, will constitute or with the passage of time or giving of notice will result in the breach of any term or provision or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under any agreement or other instrument to which Borrower is a party, or by which Borrower, or any of its property or assets are bound, the effect of which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Borrower is not in default under or with respect to any mortgage, lease or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, the effect of which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no event or condition which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder such that the result thereof would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, exists. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower has not received any written notice, from any source, including without limitation, any mortgagee or lessor, with respect to any claimed default by
33
Borrower with respect to any such mortgage, lease or agreement, the effect of which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
7.6 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting any Project, the Collateral, Borrower, or its properties, at law or in equity before any court or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, arbitration board or other tribunal, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower has received any written notice from any court, governmental authority or other tribunal alleging that Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any Project has violated in any material respect the Timeshare Act, any of the rules or regulations thereunder, the Declarations or any other applicable Legal Requirements, agreements or arrangements, in a manner which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
7.7 Taxes. Borrower is not in default in the payment of any real property, personal property or income tax or in the filing of any tax return required to be filed under any tax law (federal, state and local) applicable to it or its properties. All taxes shown by said returns to be payable and all interest and penalties, if any, in respect thereof, have been fully paid when due, except to the extent that such taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges or the failure to pay the same would not be material to the respective business, properties or assets of Borrower. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no taxing authority has questioned or disputed the accuracy or completeness of any such tax return. No taxing authority has notified Borrower of any basis for any such question or dispute or investigation except as set forth on Schedule 7.7. No tax-related audit is pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened with respect to Borrower or any Association except as set forth on Schedule 7.7. All taxes (including sales taxes) related to the operation of the Projects, the ownership or use of the Projects and the sale of Timeshare Interests in respect of the Projects, which are due and payable, have been paid in full, except for permitted contests under Section 6.9 or which are otherwise being conducted in good faith and for which Borrower has maintained adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. All tax returns and reports required to be filed by Borrower, if any, have been timely filed, or proper extensions for filing have been obtained. Borrower has no knowledge of any proposed tax assessment against Borrower that could be material to its business, properties, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or business prospects except as set forth on Schedule 7.7.
7.8 Insurance. All the insurance required by the Declarations related to Associations managed by the Vacation Club Manager, the Loan Documents and this Agreement to be obtained has been obtained, is presently in full force and effect and all premiums thereon have been fully paid when due to date. Each of Borrower’s certificates evidencing, as applicable, casualty or liability insurance and in respect to which Lender has been indicated as a loss payee, additional insured or certificate holder, as applicable, shall provide that the related policy may not be canceled or materially changed except upon (i) providing ten (10) days’ prior written notice, with respect to casualty insurance coverage, and (ii) endeavoring to provide ten (10) days’ prior written notice, with respect to liability insurance coverage, of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to Lender and that no act or thing done by Borrower shall invalidate any policy as against Lender; provided, however, that Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to require the applicable insurer to provide thirty
34
(30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation. Lender has been named as an additional insured, certificate holder or loss payee on such certificates, as applicable.
7.9 Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration with, any governmental authority, or any other Person, which has not been properly obtained and remains in full force and effect, is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents by Borrower, or the performance by Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
7.10 No Violation of Law. Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower involved in the operations of any of the Projects is in violation of any Legal Requirements to which it is subject, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower has failed to obtain any material license, permit, franchise or other governmental authorization necessary to the ownership of its property or to the conduct of its business as the same is presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including, but not limited to, development and construction of the Projects, marketing and selling Timeshare Interests, the making of Timeshare Loans and the financing of the sale of Timeshare Interests, which failure would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
7.11 Financial Statements.

Such insurance shall be maintained in force with insurers having an AM Best rating from A++ to B++; provided, however, for the purposes of this Section 13.3, the insurance maintained by Borrower or the Associations as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to be approved by Lender notwithstanding the fact that certain of the insurers have an AM Best rating of less than B++. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any insurer having an AM Best rating from A++ to B++ as of the Closing Date is downgraded to an AM Best rating of less than B++, such occurrence shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days, during which time period Borrower shall notify Lender of such downgrade in AM Best rating and Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, either approve such downgrade or require Borrower to replace such insurer with an insurer having an AM Best rating of not less than B++.

(c) Borrower shall deliver or cause the Associations to deliver to Lender copies of the insurance policies and all endorsements thereto and evidence of insurance utilizing a current XXXXX 27 or 28 Evidence of Property Insurance and endeavor to provide at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, additional policies or duplicates thereof and evidence of insurance utilizing a current XXXXX 27 or 28 Evidence of Property Insurance confirming the renewal of such insurance and payment of the premium therefor. If Lender fails to receive such evidence, Lender may require that escrows be established to cover such premiums.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Declarations or by applicable Legal Requirements, in the event of any casualty loss to any Project, Lender, at its option, may, to the extent Lender is entitled to any related insurance proceeds and subject to the prior existing rights of other lenders of Borrower or its Affiliates, (i) retain and apply all or any part of such insurance proceeds to repay or secure the Obligations, in such order and amounts as Lender may elect, or (ii) disburse all or any part of such insurance proceeds to or for the benefit of Borrower for the purpose of repairing or replacing any Project, in either case without waiving or impairing the Obligations or any provision of this Agreement.

49
with its own funds. If Borrower fails to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance as required by Section 13.3 hereof, Lender may obtain such insurance and pay the premiums therefor. Borrower shall, upon the written demand of Lender, reimburse Lender the full amount of all payment made by Lender with respect to the obligations of Borrower under Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 to the extent made with Lender’s funds, with interest thereon from the date of payment by Lender to the date of reimbursement at the Default Rate. The obligation of Borrower to make such reimbursement payments shall constitute part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral and each Guaranty, if any.

Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
In connection with the disposition of any Collateral by Lender, Borrower agrees that Lender may disclaim any warranties and dispose of such Collateral without any warranties
69
whatsoever and that Lender shall not be deemed to have acted in a commercially unreasonable manner as a result thereof.
If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by or on behalf of the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness owed by such purchaser to Lender.

Lender may, in the name of Borrower or its own name, make and execute all conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Collateral sold in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies; and Lender is hereby appointed Borrower’s attorney-in-fact for this purpose.
24.4 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds from each sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral following an Event of Default shall be applied or paid over as follows:
(a) First: to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sale or other realization, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; and
(b) Second: to the payment of the Obligations (with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency) in such order as Lender may elect; and
(c) Third: the balance (if any) of such proceeds shall be paid, subject to any duty imposed by law, or otherwise to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto.

(c) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans; and
(d) At any time after an Event of Default occurs and while such Event of Default continues, enforce payment of and collect any of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans assigned to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose, Lender may:

(iii) Sell or assign any of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans on such terms, for such amount and at such times as Lender deems advisable;

(vi) Take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect Lender’s interest in the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s designated officers, employees or agents) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, with power to sign its name and to take any of the foregoing actions, in its name or the name of Lender, which power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. All acts of Lender taken in connection with the foregoing are hereby ratified and approved and Lender shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to assist Lender in the collection and enforcement of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans and not to hinder, delay or impede Lender in its collection or enforcement of the Liberty Portfolio Timeshare Loans.
24.6 Retention of Collateral. At its discretion, Lender may retain all or part of the Collateral in partial or full satisfaction of the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law. Lender will not be considered to have offered to retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations, unless Lender has entered into a written agreement with Borrower to that effect.
24.7 Performance by Lender. In the event that Borrower fails to perform any obligations under any of the Loan Documents, the Project Documents or the Consumer Documents, Lender may perform such obligations and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for all funds expended by Lender and all costs related thereto. If Borrower does not reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days after demand by Lender, interest shall accrue on such reimbursement obligations at the Default Rate. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to perform any obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, the Project Documents or the Consumer Documents. Such performance shall be totally discretionary with Lender and performance by Lender at any time shall not give rise to any duty or obligation by Lender to perform at any other time.
24.8 No Liability of Lender. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement by Lender, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by Lender, shall be construed in any way as an assumption by Lender of any obligations, responsibilities or duties of Borrower arising in
71
connection with the Projects, under any applicable Timeshare Act or under any of the Project Documents, or in connection with any other business of Borrower, or the Collateral, or otherwise bind Lender to the performance of any obligations with respect to the Project or the Collateral. Lender shall not be obligated to perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of Borrower with respect to the Projects or any of the Collateral, under any applicable Timeshare Act or under any of the Project Documents. This Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Lender taken hereunder, and any exercise of rights or remedies by Lender prior to or following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not constitute an assumption by Lender of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Projects, the Collateral, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of their obligations thereunder or with respect thereto.
24.9 Right to Defend Action Affecting Collateral. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding at law or in equity which Lender in good faith believes may affect the value of the Collateral, the Projects or Lender’s rights under any of the Loan Documents.
24.10 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may execute any of its duties and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives or through other Persons. Lender may use Wellington Financial to perform certain services in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Lender may pay Wellington Financial or any other Persons performing services for Lender such compensation as Lender may elect.
24.11 Condemnation or Litigation. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advances if any condemnation proceeding or litigation is pending against any Unit or the applicable Primary Project or against Borrower, which would in any material way impair any Primary Project.
24.12 Set-Off. Without limiting the rights of Lender under applicable law, Lender has and may exercise a right of set-off, a lien against and a security interest in all property of Borrower now or at any time in Lender’s possession in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance of any deposit, trust or agency account, or any other bank account with Lender, as security for all Obligations. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Lender may without notice or demand, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit of Borrower against any or all of the Obligations.
24.13 Waiver of Right of First Refusal. Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives any right of first refusal it may have to purchase Timeshare Interests (including without limitation the right of first refusal contained in any Declaration in favor of Borrower or its Affiliates, as declarant or otherwise) with respect to any Timeshare Interests acquired by Lender, or its nominee or assignee. Borrower agrees that thereafter such Timeshare Interests may be assigned, transferred or sold free and clear of any right of first refusal in favor of Borrower.

25.29 Dealing With Multiple Borrowers. If more than one Person is named as a Borrower hereunder, all obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities set forth in the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party, shall be joint and several.

All actions or inactions of the officers, managers, members and/or agents of any Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be with full authority and binding upon all Borrowers. Borrower hereby appoints each other Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full right and power, for purposes of exercising all rights of such Person under the Loan Documents and under applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. The foregoing is a material inducement to the agreement of Lender to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, PURSUANT TO SUCH SECTION, IT HAS A RIGHT TO NOTICE OF AND HEARING PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF

25.33 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

Taxes
Tennessee Tax Audit
In 2005, the State of Tennessee Audit Division (the “Division”) audited certain subsidiaries of Borrower for the period from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004. On September 23, 2006, the Division issued a notice of assessment for approximately $652,000 of accommodations tax based on the use of Vacation Club accommodations by Vacation Club members who became members through the purchase of non-Tennessee property. An informal conference was held in December 2007 to discuss this matter with representatives of the Division. No formal resolution of the issue was reached during such conference. There is no assurance of success in contesting such assessment.

WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower have entered into a _______________ Agreement, dated ___________________, (as it may from time to time be amended, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Borrower will, from time to time, assign to Lender as collateral for the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Agreement, timeshare loans and all payments due thereunder (the “Assigned Accounts”) which now exist or may hereafter arise from purchase money financing extended by Borrower to purchasers of timeshare interests in the timeshare project known as __________________.

Borrower will provide Servicing Agent with one or more sample sets of consumer documents representative of the Obligor Debt Instruments serviced or to be serviced by Servicing Agent under this Agreement.
4. Assigned Account Payments. Lender, with the cooperation of Servicing Agent, shall open and maintain one or more segregated bank accounts (the “Lockbox Account(s)”) in the name of Lender, and all funds deposited therein shall be the property of Lender. Servicing Agent shall designate the appropriate Lockbox Account(s) number on payment coupons and other forms of payment received by the Lockbox Agent in respect of the Assigned Accounts, or through electronic transmission instruct the Lockbox Agent as to the appropriate Lockbox Account(s) into which proceeds from payments in respect of the Assigned Accounts are to be deposited, and direct Lockbox Agent to deposit into the appropriate Lockbox Account(s) all payments received by Lockbox Agent in respect of the Assigned Accounts. Servicing Agent shall notify Lender of such Lender Code designations for the Assigned Accounts. Lender may request Servicing Agent to designate separate and distinct Lender Codes to segregated portfolios of Assigned Accounts, in which event Servicing Agent will provide accounting information and reports to Lender separately for each such segregated portfolio of Assigned Accounts. Neither Servicing Agent nor Borrower shall have the right to change, close, or revise the Lockbox Account(s) or the Lockbox Account(s) number or the Lender Code(s) except with the written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld, limited, or qualified in their sole and absolute discretion. Any payments received by the Servicing Agent or the Borrower directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, through credit card remittances, direct deposits, wire-transfers or automatic debits, shall be held in trust for Lender, subject to the continuing security interest granted to Lender in the Loan Agreement, and each of them shall use best efforts to deposit such payments in the Lockbox Account(s) no later than two (2) business days following receipt thereof. Servicing Agent shall be the exclusive agent for Lender with respect to holding or causing to be deposited any Payments from Obligors to the Lockbox Account(s). The term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or a national, state, or local holiday.
5. Remittance of Funds to Lockbox Account(s). If, despite directions to Obligors to make all Payments on Assigned Accounts to the Lockbox Account(s), Servicing Agent or Borrower receives any such Payments, then Servicing Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, shall receive all such payments in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender and shall, not later than the business day following the date of receipt by the Servicing Agent or Borrower of any payment by or on behalf of an Obligor with respect to an Assigned Account, deliver to Lockbox Agent all such Payments in the form received as and when received. Servicing Agent is authorized by Borrower to endorse, without recourse to Lender, in the name of Borrower all instruments of payment. If, after a returned instrument of payment is redeposited, it is returned again, Servicing Agent shall forward such instrument of payment to Borrower, or, if requested by Lender in writing, to Lender, and Servicing Agent shall have no further obligation for the collection of such instrument of payment. Postdated checks will be held and forwarded by Servicing Agent to the Lockbox Account in accordance with Servicing Agent’s standard procedures.
6. The Servicer Report. Within the first ten days of each month (or if such day is not a business day, the business day immediately following such ten days) (the “Report Date”), Servicing Agent, as provided in Exhibit A, shall deliver to the Borrower and Lender all the information and reports required to be provided pursuant to Exhibit A (the “Servicer Report”). The Servicer

Report shall be completed with the information specified therein as of the last day of the immediately preceding month and shall contain such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or Lender in writing at least three (3) business days prior to such Report Date and for a fee for such other information as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. In addition, upon request of Lender, Servicing Agent shall deliver to Lender at the address to which notices are to be sent to Lender, pursuant to subparagraph 20.4, a current list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of each of the obligors of the Assigned Accounts.
7. Modifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (except for the waiver of late fees provided for in subparagraph 1.14 hereof), the Servicing Agent shall not modify, waive, or amend the terms of any Assigned Account or permit the same to be assumed except as authorized in advance in writing by Borrower and by Lender.
8. Records. Servicing Agent shall maintain all data (including, without limitation, computerized tapes or disks) relating directly to or maintained in connection with its duties in servicing of the Assigned Accounts (which data and records shall be clearly segregated to reflect that the Assigned Accounts have been pledged to and constitute collateral of the Lender) at the address of the Servicing Agent set forth in subparagraph 20.4 hereof or upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Lender and the Borrower, at such other place where the servicing activity of the Servicing Agent is located, and shall give the Lender and the Borrower or their authorized agents access to all such information at all reasonable times, upon seventy-two (72) hours’ written notice.
9. Standard of Care/Performance of Services. Servicing Agent agrees to perform the services to be furnished by it under this Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner, and shall exercise that same degree of care it exercises on behalf of other borrowers with respect to the administration and servicing of similar loans and notes. Servicing Agent shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement if its failure to perform is the result of acts of God, war, civil commotion, governmental action, fire, explosion, strikes, other industrial disturbances, action, non-action, or other matters beyond Servicing Agent’s reasonable control if in such case Servicing Agent follows commercially reasonable practice to (i) avoid such failure and (ii) after any such failure, provides notice thereof to Borrower and Lender and responds to such situation in a commercially reasonable manner. Servicing Agent shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission in connection with this Agreement, except for Servicing Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Servicing Agent shall not be liable for consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages arising in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.
10. Compliance with Law. Servicing Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts at all times, in the course of performing services hereunder, to be in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations promulgated by any federal, state, or local governmental entity which are applicable to the services performed by Servicing Agent hereunder. Servicing Agent shall not be requested or required to perform any service which shall be contrary to applicable laws and regulations.
11. Conflicting Demands. If conflicting demands are made or notice served upon Servicing Agent by a third party, or if legal action is taken in connection with this Agreement,
|

Servicing Agent shall not be required to make any determination or take any action but may stop all further proceedings in conjunction with the disputed matter without liability therefor after providing notice thereof to Borrower and Lender; or, at Servicing Agent’s option, may file suit in interpleader or for declaratory relief. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold Servicing Agent harmless from all costs, damages, and reasonable legal fees expended or incurred by it in conjunction with any such matter. Further, Servicing Agent shall not have liability to Borrower or to Lender if Servicing Agent acts in good faith in accordance with an order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority. Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, in the event of any conflicting demands upon the Servicing Agent by Borrower and Lender, Servicing Agent is hereby authorized and directed to follow the demands of Lender.
12. Indemnity.
12.1 The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Servicing Agent and Lender (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless and defend for, from, and against any and all claims, liabilities, fees, losses, costs, and damages incurred in connection with this Agreement, unless such liabilities, fees, losses, costs, and expenses shall arise from the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder.
12.2 In the event the Servicing Agent intervenes in or becomes a party or is made a party to any action or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement in order to protect its rights, the Servicing Agent may at its option rely on the Borrower to defend it or at any time may retain its own legal counsel. Other than in connection with a legal proceeding instituted by the Borrower against the Servicing Agent and Lender, in the event the Servicing Agent retains its own legal counsel, the Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees of the Servicing Agent’s legal counsel therein and any other reasonable costs incurred in such proceeding.
12.3 Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Servicing Agent from and against all claims, charges, liabilities, fees (including without limitation, discount and service fees for credit card processing), losses, costs, expenses, and any items, including, without limitation, any automated clearinghouse transactions or other electronic funds transfers (collectively, “Electronic Funds Payments”) and credit card transactions which are returned or charged back for any reason and adjustment associated with, arising from, or related to the maintenance by Servicing Agent of any merchant account or demand deposit bank account used in whole or in part by Servicing Agent to receive and process Electronic Funds Payments or credit card payments from Obligors whose accounts are being serviced by Servicing Agent under this Agreement (collectively “credit Card and EFT Chargebacks”). Borrower and Lender agree and acknowledge that Servicing Agent shall have no obligation to process credit card payments from Obligors utilizing Servicing Agent’s merchant account unless Servicing Agent agrees in writing to do so.
12.4 To the extent Electronic Funds Payments and/or credit card payments have been credited to the Lockbox Account(s) or any new, additional or substitute bank accounts for the benefit of Lender, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained in this Agreement, Lender acknowledges the right of Servicing Agent and/or the merchant account processor (“Credit Card Processor”) to debit or withhold funds otherwise to be credited to the Lockbox Account(s) from time to time for any Credit Card and EFT Chargebacks attributable to such Electronic

Funds Payments and credit card payments. To the extent there are insufficient funds in the Lockbox Account(s) at any time (including any Lockbox Account(s) that have been closed) or funds belonging to Lender in any bank accounts maintained by Servicing Agent in whole or in part for the benefit of Lender, to fully offset any Credit Card and EFT Chargebacks of credit card payments and EFT Payments processed by Servicing Agent on behalf of Borrower and Lender with respect to this Agreement, Lender agrees to pay Servicing Agent for all Credit Card and EFT Chargeback amounts Servicing Agent is required to pay the (i) Credit Card Processor pursuant to the provisions of any credit card processing agreement between Servicing Agent and the Credit Card Processor (“Card Processing Agreement”) or (ii) financial institutions(s) at which the aforesaid bank accounts of Servicing Agent were opened, provided that, (a) Borrower has not reimbursed Servicing Agent for such amount within three (3) business days of request for reimbursement and (b) the Lender has previously received the proceeds represented by such Credit Card and EFT Chargeback amounts. Lender shall reimburse Servicing Agent for all such amounts within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor, which request shall include supporting documentation. Servicing Agent and Lender agree that such payment obligation of Lender shall be applicable only to the extent that the funds from credit card payments and EFT Payments to which any Credit Card and EFT Chargebacks relate have been received in the Lockbox Account(s) or any substitute, new or additional bank accounts for the benefit of Lender.
12.5 Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Paragraph 12, each of Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledges the right of the Credit Card Processor to establish at any time and from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of the Card Processing Agreement, one or more reserve funds in such amounts as the Credit Card Processor deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, to secure the Credit Card Processor with respect to any or all of the merchant accounts established by Servicing Agent with the Credit Card Processor to process credit card payments on behalf of Borrower and Lender under this Agreement.. Any such reserve fund may be established, in Credit Card Processor’s sole discretion, by withdrawing funds on deposit in the Lockbox Accounts or by withholding funds otherwise to be credited to the Lockbox Accounts.
13. Fees and Expenses.
13.1 The Borrower shall pay the Servicing Agent’s fees as set forth in Exhibit B, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Servicing Agent shall invoice the Borrower on a monthly basis for fees and expenses. Payment shall be made to the Servicing Agent by the twentieth (20th) day of the month in which the invoice is received. The failure of Borrower to pay any such amount to Servicing Agent by the due date shall be deemed a default of this Agreement as that term is used in subparagraph 18.1 hereof, and shall be subject to a late charge equal to the greater of 1-½% of the past due amount per month or $50.00 per month. It is agreed and understood by Borrower that all amounts received by Servicing Agent as payment for services performed shall be applied first to the most recent unpaid invoice, and thereafter to any unpaid amounts on prior invoices, beginning with the most recent invoice. All fees and expenses owed to Servicing Agent under this Agreement shall be the sole obligation of Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability for such fees and expenses, except as provided in subparagraph 13.2 below.

13.2 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Borrower fails, from time to time, to make timely payment of fees and expenses due and owing to Servicing Agent under this Agreement (“Past Due Amounts”), and written notice of any such nonpayment is given at any time by Servicing Agent to Lender, Lender shall have a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice to attempt to cause Borrower to pay Servicing Agent all Past Due Amounts. In the event any payments hereunder by Borrower to Servicing Agent are determined, in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, to be a preferential transfer and Servicing Agent is required by a court order to return such payment(s) to a trustee or to the estate of the Borrower in bankruptcy (“Returned Payment(s)”) and notice of such Returned Payment is given to Lender by Servicing Agent, Lender shall have the obligation and agrees to reimburse Servicing Agent for all such Returned Payment(s) as hereinafter provided in this subparagraph 13.2 (except to the extent that such Returned Payment(s) include late charges or the termination fee specified in “II. Receivables” set forth in Exhibit B hereto (“Termination Fee”)). Servicing Agent shall have the right and Lender hereby authorizes Servicing Agent to debit the Lockbox Account(s) at any time beginning fifteen (15) days after notice to Lender for all such Past Due Amounts remaining unpaid by Borrower (excluding late charges) and/or for reimbursement of all Returned Payments. To the extent there are insufficient funds in the Lockbox Account(s) at the time Servicing Agent attempts to debit such accounts to pay all of the amounts described in the preceding sentence, Lender, after written request by Servicing Agent, shall have the obligation within fifteen (15) days thereafter to pay Servicing Agent all such unpaid amounts (excluding late charges). Any payments paid by Lender under this Agreement shall become obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if subsequent to payment by Lender to Servicing Agent of amounts payable to Servicing Agent hereunder (other than late charges and the Termination Fee), whether through the debiting of the Lockbox Account(s) or directly paid by Lender, Lender elects to terminate this Agreement for any reason, Servicing Agent hereby waives the right to payment of the Termination Fee, provided that such waiver of the late charges or the Termination Fee shall not be applicable to a termination of this Agreement by Borrower.
14. Use of Proceeds. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to (a) use the Payments or (b) make advances under the Loan Agreement to pay fees, costs, expenses, and other obligations owed to Servicing Agent under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in subparagraph 12.4 and subparagraph 13.2 nothing herein shall be construed, however, as making the payment of said fees, costs, expenses, or other obligations obligatory upon Lender, and Lender shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from non-payment of such fees, costs, expenses, or other obligations.
15. Waiver of Set-off. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, Servicing Agent waives any and all rights of set-off, deduction, recoupment, attachment, garnishment, or otherwise it may have on account of any indebtedness owing to it by Borrower against the items of payment or collections thereof which are the subject of this Agreement.
16. Financial and Other Information. Servicing Agent will deliver to Lender, in form and content satisfactory to Lender, the following:
16.1 Upon request by Lender and the later to occur of (a) ten (10) days from the date of such request or (b) one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the fiscal or calendar year for

which such request is made: (1) the income and retained earnings statement of Servicing Agent for such year; (2) the balance sheet of Servicing Agent as at the end of such year; and (3) the statement of cash flow of Servicing Agent for such year, subject to compliance by Lender with the confidentiality and non-disclosure terms of that certain Letter Agreement, dated October 17, 2000, between Lender and Servicing Agent.
16.2 Evidence of Servicing Agent’s then existing insurance coverage for errors and omissions and, within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the current policy, any renewal thereof.
17. Computer Software/Other Proprietary Information. In the event Borrower or Lender has access to Servicing Agent’s respective systems, software programs, video screen layouts, formats, user manuals, and database descriptions or file definitions (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Software”), either through direct computer inquiry or any other means, Borrower and Lender agree and acknowledge that the Software is proprietary to Servicing Agent and confidential. Borrower and Lender further acknowledge and agree that the pricing information in Exhibit B, the other terms and conditions, and the monthly reports provided to each of them under this Agreement are also proprietary and confidential (“Additional Confidential Information”). Borrower and Lender agree under no circumstances to transfer Software from the system of Servicing Agent to any other system, to reproduce all or any part of it, or to use the Software except as provided herein.
Borrower and Lender agree to restrict disclosure of the Software solely to those of their employees that need to know and shall not disclose such Software, nor show how the Software functions, to any third parties without Servicing Agent’s prior written consent. Except with Servicing Agent’s prior written consent, Borrower and Lender shall not disclose any Additional Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity except (a) those of their employees that need to know and (b) Borrower’s or Lender’s accountants, lenders, state and federal bank examiners, and attorneys, (“Third Party”) but only to the extent that any such disclosure to a Third Party is required by, and is essential to, a regulatory, financial, or legal relationship between Borrower and Lender and such Third Party and that such Third Party has a genuine need to know and, provided further, that each such Third Party recipient agrees to be bound by the aforesaid confidentiality requirement.
18. Term/Termination.
18.1 This Agreement shall remain in effect unless terminated for any reason either in whole or in part upon not less than ninety (90) days’ written notice by either party to the other parties or, in the event of a default, upon notice as provided below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. Termination shall include, but not be limited to, the transfer of all or part of the servicing to any party other than Servicing Agent. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 13.2 hereof, in the event of termination of this Agreement or in the event of non payment of fees owed to Servicing Agent by Borrower (or if Servicing Agent is not paid such past due amount through debiting of the Lockbox Account(s) or directly by Lender as provided in Paragraph 13 hereof), except if such termination or non payment of fees occurs solely as a result of a material default hereunder by Servicing Agent, Servicing Agent will not be obligated to turn over the

documents, records, and files or to provide servicing under this Agreement until all of its fees are paid, including the fees set forth in Exhibit B. Upon a default of this Agreement, any non-defaulting party directly impacted by such default may terminate this Agreement upon (a) fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the other parties specifying such default and (b) failure by such defaulting party to cure such default within such fifteen (15) day period. Failure by Borrower to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder when due shall be deemed a default.
18.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 18.1 above, this Agreement may be terminated by Lender upon Borrower’s complete performance and fulfillment of all its obligations under the Loan Agreement and secured by the Assigned Accounts, which termination shall become effective not earlier than sixty (60) days after written notice of such fulfillment and performance is given to Servicing Agent by Lender.
19. Effect of Termination.
19.1 Upon termination of this Agreement, Servicing Agent shall be entitled to all fees and expenses (a) that have accrued and that are owing to Servicing Agent as of the effective date of such termination and (b) that are otherwise due Servicing Agent under this Agreement other than late charges and the Termination Fee waived by Servicing Agent pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 13.2 hereof.

19.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no termination fees otherwise payable hereunder shall be due and payable to Servicing Agent if this Agreement has been terminated by Servicing Agent (except in the event of nonpayment of fees and expenses to Servicing Agent constituting a breach of this Agreement which has not been cured during the cure period provided in subparagraph 18.1 hereof) or this Agreement has been terminated by Lender, Borrower (with Lender’s written consent), due to a default by Servicing Agent under this Agreement, which default has not been cured in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph 18.1 hereof.

EXHIBIT A
SERVICING
Servicing Agent will act as agent for and on behalf of Borrower in rendering the specific services for Obligor account management and administration as set forth in the Agreement and herein, and at the fees shown in Exhibit B.
The following is a description of the services to be provided by Servicing Agent.
1. Conversion. (if applicable) Servicing Agent will determine the method of the data base conversion best suited to process data from existing records. Such processing may include tape and/or manual conversion methods depending on the source of information. Data shall be transferred and conversion reports prepared as required by Servicing Agent.
2. New Sales or Maintenance Fee Transmittals, Receivables Set-up, and Obligor Billing.
a. Periodically, Borrower may transmit new sales and receivables data and/or maintenance fee data to Servicing Agent. Such sales and receivables data and/or maintenance data shall consist of copies of documents that provide sufficient information to enable Servicing Agent to adequately perform its servicing duties.
b. Each group of such data shall be sent to Servicing Agent with a pre-numbered and dated transmittal form, to be supplied by Servicing Agent, identifying each sale and/or maintenance fee contract being transmitted.
c. For those Obligors to whom loan payment coupons or statements are to be sent, within a reasonable period after receipt of necessary information relating to new sales, Servicing Agent will make necessary arrangements to forward to such Obligors loan payment coupons with return address labels or, if provided for in Exhibit B, and if instructed to do so by Borrower in writing, a statement. Periodically thereafter, if payment coupons are to be sent, a set of payment coupons with return address labels or a statement, if provided for in Exhibit B and if instructed to do so by Borrower in writing, will be sent to each Obligor account.
3. Obligor Payment Processing/Credit Card Processing.
a. Servicing Agent will apply Obligor payments to Servicing Agent’s system. Obligor payments are generally posted to their accounts each business day with application to interest, late charge (if applicable), principal, and/or any other appropriate application. A reconciliation of cash applied and deposited is performed. It is Servicing Agent’s policy to accept and hold postdated checks and other forms of payment that are postdated no more than five days and to send to Borrower for appropriate action or return to Obligor checks and other forms of payment postdated more than five (5) days;
b. for Obligors who are on auto debit or credit card payment arrangements, if applicable, appropriate debit or credit card arrangements will be made. Servicing Agent agrees to use its merchant

account(s) and to use Credit Card Processor to process credit cards transactions. Servicing Agent will endeavor to establish such merchant accounts subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 3 of Exhibit A and the provisions of Paragraph 12 of this Agreement.
c. Servicing Agent, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Borrower and Lender, at any time shall have the right to immediately cease processing credit card payments through its merchant accounts in the event that (1) Servicing Agent believes, in the exercise of its business judgment, that (A) Credit Card and EFT Chargebacks pertaining to the credit card payments or Electronic Funds Payments of Obligors have reached unacceptable levels, or (B) there exists any circumstances which may increase Servicing Agent’s exposure for Credit Card and EFT Chargebacks or otherwise presents a financial or security risk to Servicing Agent, or (2) (A) Servicing Agent’s Credit Card Processor elects to terminate Servicing Agent’s merchant account capability for processing credit card payment transactions for any reason, or (B) Borrower or Lender refuses, within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor by Servicing Agent, to promptly deposit monies with Servicing Agent for a reserve fund, or permit Servicing Agent to establish a reserve fund from monies on deposit in, or from funds otherwise to be credited to the Lockbox Accounts, in such amounts as Servicing Agent determines to be necessary or appropriate to cover actual or estimated future Credit Card and EFT Chargebacks, or (C) the financial institution elects to terminate Servicing Agent’s capability to process Electronic Funds Payments with respect to those bank accounts where the Electronic Funds Payments heretofore had been credited, or (D) Borrower or Lender files a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or becomes the subject of an involuntary proceeding thereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions contained above in this paragraph 3, Servicing Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, may elect to discontinue processing credit card payments through its merchant accounts by giving Borrower and Lender not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of its intention to cease such processing of credit card payments.
4. Obligor Inquiries and File Maintenance. All Obligor correspondence pertaining to account servicing will be handled routinely in a manner consistent with Servicing Agent’s standard policies and procedures. Furthermore, Servicing Agent will process and update all changes of address and account data consistent with Servicing Agent’s standard policies and procedures.
5. Obligor Delinquent Account Processing and Collections. If agreed to between Borrower and Servicing Agent and for a fee or fees listed in Exhibit B, Servicing Agent will perform delinquency collections as described in Exhibit C, and Credit Reporting to Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc., Experian Credit Data Southwest, Inc., and Trans Union Credit Information Company as described in Exhibit D. The fees for collections set forth in Exhibit B assume Borrower provides Servicing Agent with telephone numbers and addresses for at least 90% of those accounts on which collections are to be performed and that all accounts on which collections are to be performed are of individuals located in the United States. Fees for collections for accounts residing in Canada and other locations outside the United States are as set forth in Exhibit B (including any amendment thereto).
6. Cancellations. Cancellations will be processed in accordance with Borrower’s semimonthly instructions as agreed upon in writing by Servicing Agent and Borrower.

7. Year-End Reporting. Provided, as of January 31 of each calendar year following the calendar year in which this Agreement is executed, this Agreement is still in effect and, in addition, notice of termination as provided in Paragraph 18 of this Agreement has not been given by any signatory hereto, Servicing Agent will, on behalf of Borrower do as described below.
a. Provide a year-end loan interest statement indicating the total amount of interest paid by each obligor whose contract is being serviced by Servicing Agent. This interest statement shall be for interest paid January 1 through December 31 of the prior year, or from the date such purchaser’s account was set up on Servicing Agent’s receivables system, if later than January 1 of the prior year, through December 31 of the prior year. Upon request of Borrower, Servicing Agent may agree to include in the interest statement interest paid by an obligor prior to the date the account was set up on Servicing Agent’s receivables system, but Servicing Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of information regarding such interest paid furnished to Servicing Agent by Borrower or any prior servicer of the account.
b. Send to the Internal Revenue Service a magnetic tape reflecting interest paid during the calendar year for those above accounts on which the amount of interest paid is required by law to be reported along with appropriate Social Security numbers, if available, if and as Borrower is required to do so by federal income tax law and if requested to do so in writing by Borrower. Such reporting will be done using Borrower’s tax I.D. number, and Borrower agrees to provide Servicing Agent with such tax I.D. number. If the annual year-end interest statement is sent separate from the annual coupon book for any reason (for example, because the Borrower requests coupon books be sent to purchasers in a month other than January) or is sent because there is no payment coupon book being sent by Servicing Agent (for example, for paid-in-full or canceled contracts), there will be a separate charge of $1.50 plus postage per year-end interest statement.
8. Reporting. The following are the basic monthly reports provided by Servicing Agent to the Borrower and Lender. These reports will be provided on diskette or will be sent via e-mail, at the direction of the Borrower. Other reports are available as agreed upon in writing by Servicing Agent and Borrower or Lender and at an agreed upon fee.

10. Termination/Transfer of Servicing. Upon termination for any reason of Servicing Agent’s servicing duties hereunder and the payment of the termination fee to Servicing Agent as set forth in Exhibit B hereof, Servicing Agent will assist Borrower or Lender in the transfer of servicing to another servicer provided that all fees due Servicing Agent under this Agreement have been paid in advance of such transfer. As part of such transfer, if requested by Borrower or Lender, Servicing Agent will also prepare and send to Obligors serviced under this Agreement written notice of transfer of servicing for an additional fee of $1.50 per notice letter plus cost of postage.

EXHIBIT B
FEES
Servicing Fees and Expenses. The following fees will be charged to Borrower by Servicing Agent. They are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated in writing. On or after each anniversary date of this Agreement (“Anniversary Date”), the fees may automatically increase by an amount equal to one and one-half times the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the twelve-month period immediately prior to any such Anniversary Date. Said fees will include the services to be performed by Servicing Agent as described in this Agreement, plus any applicable state sales or similar taxes. Fees for other services such as special programming, computer downloads, special reporting, special mail handling, including overnight courier or Express Mail deliveries, and bank charges, including ACH or EFT charges, shall be separate. The term “active accounts,” as used in this Agreement, is defined as any of the Borrower’s accounts which are on Servicing Agent’s system and which are not canceled or paid-in-full accounts or accounts arising from cash sales. Any canceled or paid-in-full accounts, accounts arising from cash sales or other inactive accounts which are maintained on Servicing Agent’s system at Borrower’s request will be assessed a separate fee. In the event Borrower or Lender terminates all or any part of the servicing hereunder prior to expiration of the termination and notice periods, as set forth in Paragraph 18, Term/Termination, Borrower shall be required to pay any monthly processing, collection, and other fees as set forth below that would have been payable to Servicing Agent if such premature termination had not occurred.
