AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS
SECTION 2.01. The Loans.
(a)On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Amortization Date, each Conduit Lender may in its sole discretion, and each Committed Lender shall, if the Conduit Lender in its related Lender Group elects not to (or if there is no Conduit Lender in its related Lender Group), make Loans to the Borrower in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to its Lender Group Percentage of the amount requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02; provided, that no Lender shall make any such Loan or portion thereof to the extent that, after giving effect to such Loan:
(i)the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Loans funded by such Lender hereunder shall exceed its Conduit Lending Limit (in the case of a Conduit Lender) or Commitment (in the case of a Committed Lender);
(ii)the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance shall exceed the lesser of the Facility Limit and the Borrowing Base; or
35
(iii)the sum of (A) the aggregate Face Amount of Commercial Paper issued by the Conduit Lender(s) in such Lender Group to fund or maintain the Loans hereunder and (B) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Loans funded hereunder by the Lenders in such Lender Group other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper, shall exceed the Lender Group Limit for such Lender Group.
If there is more than one Committed Lender in a Lender Group, each such Committed Lender shall lend its Pro Rata Share of such Lender Group’s Lender Group Percentage of each requested Loan, to the extent such Loan is not made by the related Conduit Lender. Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the foregoing and to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow the Loans hereunder.
(b)Each Borrowing shall consist of Loans made on the same day by each of the Lender Groups ratably according to their respective Lender Group Percentages. No Lender shall fund any portion of any Loan with the “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA.
(c)Each Lender (or its related Managing Agent) shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the outstanding principal balance of such Loans and the amount of Interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The entries made in such accounts of the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d)On the Amortization Date, the Commitments of the Committed Lenders will terminate automatically without any action required on the part of any Person. The Aggregate Loan Principal Balance, together with all other Borrower Obligations, shall mature and be due and payable in full in cash on the Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.02. Borrowing Procedures.
(a)Borrowing Requests.
(i)The Borrower may request a Borrowing hereunder by submitting to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each of the Paying Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Custodian) a written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each, a “Borrowing Request”) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing (each, a “Borrowing Date”); provided, that there shall not be more than one (1) Borrowing Date during any calendar week (except as set forth in Section 2.02(e) following delivery of a Funding Delay Notice). Promptly after its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall submit a copy of each Borrowing Request to each Managing Agent who shall promptly forward a copy thereof to the Lenders in its Lender Group.
(ii)Each Borrowing Request shall: (A) specify (1) the amount of the requested Borrowing which amount shall be allocated among the Lender Groups based on the respective Conduit Lending Limits of the Conduit Lenders (or Commitments, if there are no Conduit Lenders in a Lender Group) in each Lender Group, (2) the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance after giving effect to such Borrowing, (3) the desired Borrowing Date, and (4) the account
36
of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be remitted, (B) certify that, after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing, no Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist and (C) if any Eligible Timeshare Loans are being added to the Collateral in connection with such Borrowing, be accompanied by a duly completed Schedule I to such Borrowing Request which sets forth the required information regarding such Eligible Timeshare Loans.
(b)Conduit Lender Acceptance or Rejection. If a Conduit Lender shall receive a Borrowing Request, such Conduit Lender shall instruct the related Managing Agent to accept or reject such request by no later than the close of business on the Business Day of the applicable Borrowing Request. If a Conduit Lender rejects a Borrowing Request, the related Managing Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the related Committed Lenders of such rejection. If a Conduit Lender declines to fund any portion of a Borrowing Request, the Borrower may cancel and rescind such Borrowing Request in its entirety upon notice thereof received by the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed Borrowing Date. At no time will a Conduit Lender be obligated to make Loans hereunder regardless of any notice given or not given pursuant to this Section.
(c)Committed Lender’s Commitment.
(i)If a Conduit Lender rejects a Borrowing Request and the Borrower has not cancelled such Borrowing Request in accordance with clause (b) above, or if there is no Conduit Lender in a Lender Group, any Loan requested by the Borrower in such Borrowing Request (except as set forth in Section 2.02(e) following delivery of a Funding Delay Notice) shall be made by the related Committed Lenders in such Lender Group on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Loan.
(ii)The obligations of any Committed Lender to make Loans hereunder are several from the obligations of any other Committed Lenders (whether or not in the same Lender Group). The failure of any Committed Lender to make Loans hereunder shall not release the obligations of any other Committed Lender (whether or not in the same Lender Group) to make Loans hereunder, but no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make any Loan hereunder.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Committed Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Loan at any time on or after the Amortization Date (except as set forth in Section 2.02(e) following delivery of a Funding Delay Notice) or if, after giving effect to such Loan, the aggregate outstanding Loans funded by such Committed Lender hereunder would exceed an amount equal to (i) such Committed Lender’s Commitment, minus (ii) such Committed Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans held by the Conduit Lender(s) in such Committed Lender’s Lender Group.
(d)Disbursement of Funds. On each Borrowing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2.02(e) following delivery of a Funding Delay Notice), each applicable Lender shall remit its share of the aggregate amount of the Loans requested by the Borrower to the account of its related Managing Agent specified therefor to such Lender by 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) by wire transfer of same day funds. Upon receipt of such funds, each Managing Agent shall remit such funds by wire transfer of same day funds to the account of the Borrower specified in the related Borrowing Request by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) to the extent it has received such funds from the Lenders in its Lender Group no later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time).
37
(i)Any Committed Lender shall have the right to deliver to the Borrower a written representation and warranty (a “Delayed Funding Representation”) to the effect that (x) it has incurred and is incurring charges relating to the “liquidity coverage ratio” under Basel III Regulations on such Committed Lender’s Loans or Commitment and (y) it is seeking or has obtained a delayed funding option in transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby. After delivery of a Delayed Funding Representation to the Borrower, a Committed Lender shall be a “Designated Delay Funding Lender.”
(ii)A Designated Delay Funding Lender may, after the Borrower delivers a Borrowing Request requesting a proposed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(i), prior to (x) if such Borrowing Request is delivered more than two Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, or (y) if such Borrowing Request is delivered on the second Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, (A) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as the Borrower’s delivery of such Borrowing Request, if such Borrowing Request is delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Managing Agents prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day or (B) otherwise 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Borrower’s delivery of such Borrowing Request, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a notice (a “Funding Delay Notice”) designating all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested in such Borrowing Request as being subject to delayed funding (such amount, the “Designated Delayed Funding Amount”) and, if such Designated Delayed Funding Amount is greater than the Required Non-Delayed Funding Amount with respect to such Designated Delay Funding Lender and the proposed Borrowing Date, specifying the portion thereof, which may not be greater than the amount by which such Designated Delayed Funding Amount exceeds such Required Non-Delayed Funding Amount (the “Delayed Funding Amount”), that it is electing to fund on a date (the date of such funding, the “Delayed Funding Date”) that is on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the proposed Borrowing Date (the “Original Borrowing Date”) (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) rather than on the Original Borrowing Date. By delivery of a Funding Delay Notice, a Designated Delay Funding Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant that the certifications previously provided to the Borrower by such Designated Delay Funding Lender are true as of the date of the delivery of such Funding Delay Notice.
(iii)If a Designated Delay Funding Lender timely delivers a Funding Delay Notice with respect to a Delayed Funding Amount, the Committed Lender shall not be required to fund, on the Original Borrowing Date therefor, such Delayed Funding Amount, but shall be required to advance to the Borrower the Delayed Funding Amount on or before the Delayed Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.02(e)(iv). Such Designated Delay Funding Lender shall provide the Borrower with at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of the Business Day on which it will fund such Delayed Funding Amount. The Borrower may (x) cancel and rescind the Borrowing Request in its entirety upon delivery of such Funding Delay Notice by delivering notice thereof to the Administrative Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Original Borrowing Date or (y) reduce the amount of additional Loans and/or additional Timeshare Loans to be added to the Borrowing Base on the Original Borrowing Date by delivering to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Original Borrowing Date an updated Borrowing Request, and the actual funding of the Non-Delayed Funding Amount shall take place on the Business Day following the delivery of such updated Borrowing Request.
38
(iv)Each Designated Delay Funding Lender agrees by delivering a Funding Delay Notice specifying a Delayed Funding Amount that, notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in Section 2.01, if the conditions to any Borrowing described in Sections 3.02(a) through 3.02(d) are satisfied on the Original Borrowing Date in respect of such Delayed Funding Amount and the conditions described in Section 3.03 in respect of such Delayed Funding Amount are satisfied on the related Delayed Funding Date, there shall be no other conditions whatsoever to its obligation to fund such Delayed Funding Amount on the related Delayed Funding Date irrespective of whether the Amortization Date shall have occurred prior to such Delayed Funding Date. If the Borrower is required to add additional Timeshare Loans to the Borrowing Base on the related Delayed Funding Date in order to satisfy such conditions, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Borrowing Request at least one Business Day prior to such Delayed Funding Date. A Designated Delay Funding Lender (or the Conduit Lender in its Lender Group) funding a Delayed Funding Amount on a Delayed Funding Date shall remit such Delayed Funding Amount to the account of its Managing Agent specified therefor to such Lender by 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) by wire transfer of same day funds. Upon receipt of such funds, such Managing Agent shall remit such funds by wire transfer of same day funds to the account of the Borrower specified in the related Borrowing Request by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) to the extent it has received such funds from such Designated Delay Funding Lender (or the Conduit Lender in its Lender Group) no later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time).
(v)For the avoidance of doubt, a Delayed Funding Amount when extended shall be a Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. As between the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender, the Conduit Lender reserves the right in its sole discretion to fund any Loan on any Original Borrowing Date or any Delayed Funding Date.
SECTION 2.03. Reductions and Increases to the Facility Limit.Reductions of the Facility Limit. The Borrower may, from time to time upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to each Managing Agent (with a copy to the Paying Agent), elect to reduce the Facility Limit in whole or in part, provided that after giving effect to any such reduction and any principal payments on such date, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance shall not exceed the Facility Limit. Any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and provided further that any such reduction shall effect a ratable reduction of the Commitments of each Committed Lender and of each Lender Group’s Lender Group Limit. Once the Facility Limit is reduced pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) it may not subsequently be reinstated without the consent of each Committed Lender.
(b)Increases to the Facility Limit. The Borrower may, from time to time upon at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days agreed to by the Managing Agents) prior written notice request an increase to the Facility Limit. Each such notice shall specify (i) the proposed date such increase shall become effective and (ii) the proposed amount of such increase (which amount shall be at least $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Agents. Such increase to the Facility Limit shall become effective, if, and only if, (x) the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agent (on behalf of the Committed Lenders in the related Lender Group) of each Lender Group whose Lender Group Limit is being increased has approved such increase, by delivering a written confirmation of such approval to the Administrative Agents, the Managing Agents and the Borrower (with a copy to the Paying Agent) or (y) to the extent that the Committed Lenders in one or more Lender Groups have, in their sole discretion, agreed to increase the Facility Limit in an amount which is less than the Borrower’s requested increase to the Facility Limit, the Borrower shall reduce its requested increase to the Facility Limit to an amount equal to such lower amount. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a commitment on the part of any Committed Lender hereunder to agree to any such increase.
39
SECTION 2.04. Interest and Unused Fees.
(a)The Borrower shall pay Interest on the unpaid Principal Amount of each Loan for each Interest Period during the period from the related Borrowing Date until the date that such Loan shall be paid in full.

If applicable, each Managing Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, two (2) Business Days prior to each Determination Date an invoice, setting forth (i) an estimate of the Interest payable to the related Conduit Lenders based on the CP Rate for each day during the Interest Period to which such Determination Date relates and (ii) the amount of any variation between Interest payable to such Conduit Lenders for the preceding Interest Period based on such notices and estimates and accrued but unpaid Interest payable to such Conduit Lenders for such Interest Period based on its final determination of the CP Rate for each day during such Interest Period. The amount of any shortfall in Interest based on such variation shall be included in the portion of the Interest payable to such Conduit Lenders on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and the amount of any overpayment of interest to such Conduit Lenders based on such variation shall be credited against the portion of the Interest otherwise payable to such Conduit Lenders on the next succeeding Distribution Date.
(b)The Borrower shall pay to each Managing Agent the Unused Fee in the amounts set forth in the Fee Letter on the dates set forth therein.
(c)All payments of Interest for each Interest Period shall be made out of Available Collections in accordance with Section 2.06(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(b)Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, at its option, prepay on any Business Day all or any portion of any Loan upon prior written notice delivered to each Managing Agent (with a copy to the Paying Agent) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such payment. Each such notice shall be in the form attached as Exhibit H and shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the prepayment to be made on the Loans and (ii) the Business Day on which the Borrower will make such prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be made ratably among the Lenders based on the aggregate Principal Amount of the Loans held by each. Each such prepayment of the Loans to the Lenders in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group must be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid, all Liquidation Fees with respect to such prepayment and all Hedge Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable by the Borrower under or with respect to any Hedging Agreement arising from any related release of Pledged Timeshare Loans pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with such prepayment. Any notice of a prepayment shall be irrevocable. Any such prepayment shall be made out of Collections by transfer by the Paying Agent of funds from the Collection Account to the Administrative AgentLenders at the written direction of the Borrower or out of other funds of the Borrower.
40
(c)Mandatory Prepayments. If a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists on any Distribution Date, the Borrower shall no later than the close of business on the third Business Day following such Distribution Date, prepay the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance in part or in whole, such that after giving effect to such prepayment the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance does not exceed the Borrowing Base.
SECTION 2.06. Application of Collections.
(a)Subject to Section 2.16, funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time may be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Borrower. Each such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date and shall be held to maturity.

Absent the written instruction of the Borrower, the funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. None of the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent or Securities Intermediary shall be liable for any loss incurred in connection with an investment in the Collection Account, except for losses due to such Person’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by such Person in its commercial capacity as principal obligor (and not as Administrative Agent, Paying Agent or Securities Intermediary).
(b)On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall, based solely on the information set forth in the related Monthly Report, apply all Available Funds for such Distribution Date in the following order and priority:

(b)Each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, which will entitle any Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.09(a). Each Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies and procedures. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Affected Party (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate in reasonable detail describing such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or receivable or required payment made or to be made, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

43
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to compensate such Lender or Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Section within 120 days after the date such Managing Agent knows an event has occurred pursuant to which such Lender or Liquidity Provider will seek such compensation.
SECTION 2.10. Increased Capital.
(a)If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by any Official Body of any law, rule or regulation (including any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with (x) any directive or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date or (y) the requirements of, whether such compliance is commenced prior to or after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, any of (a) the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, (b) Basel II or Basel III Regulations or (c) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act, or any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the U.S. bank regulatory agencies relating to the FAS 000/000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx XX, Xxxxx III Regulations or the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or assets required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party or such Affected Party reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any Lender’s agreement to make or maintain Loans hereunder and other similar agreements or facilities and such event would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the assets or capital of such Affected Party by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Party or the related Managing Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders) or the related Managing Agent for the account of such Affected Party from time to time, as specified by such Affected Party or such Managing Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party or such Managing Agent on behalf of such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the applicable Lender’s agreements hereunder.
(b)Each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, which will entitle any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a). Each Lender or Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender or Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender or Affected Party (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such compensation, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c)Failure or delay on the part of any Managing Agent to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Managing Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group pursuant to this Section for any increased capital unless such Managing Agent gives notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to compensate such Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group pursuant to this Section within 120 days after the date such Managing Agent knows an event has occurred pursuant to which such Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group will seek such compensation.
44
(d)If any Lender or Affected Party has, or anticipates having, any claim for compensation under Section 2.10(a) against the Borrower, and such Affected Party or Lender believes that having the transactions contemplated by this Agreement publicly rated by a Rating Agency or qualifying under the supervisory formula approach under Basel II would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Affected Party or Lender to be material, such Affected Party or Lender shall provide a request for Required Data or a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer. Any Affected Party or Lender may also provide a request for Required Data or a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer at any other time prior to the Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower shall cooperate with such Affected Party or Lender’s efforts to obtain Required Data and/or a credit rating from the Rating Agency specified in the Rating Request at the level that reasonably reflects the economics and credit of the Loans at the time of such request, and shall provide directly or through distribution to such Affected Party or Lender any information such Rating Agency may require for purposes of providing and monitoring the credit rating. The Affected Party or Lender making the Rating Request shall bear the costs and expenses of providing the Required Data and pay the initial and any subsequent and ongoing fees payable to the Rating Agency in connection with a Rating Request pursuant to this Section 2.10(d).
SECTION 2.11. Funding Losses. In the event that any Liquidity Provider or any Lender shall incur (i) any Liquidation Fees as a result of any reduction of the Principal Amount of any Loan at any time other than in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Liquidity Provider or Lender in order to fund or maintain any Loan or interest therein) as a result of the failure of the Borrower to accept the proceeds of any Loan in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.02, then, upon demand from the related Managing Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Managing Agent for the account of such Liquidity Provider or Lender, the amount of such loss, expense or Liquidation Fees. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.
SECTION 2.12. Taxes.
(a)Except to the extent required by applicable law, any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) or the Paying Agent shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes. If the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer shall be required by law to make any deduction for Indemnified Taxes, (i) the Borrower shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Paying Agent or the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Paying Agent or the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer is required by law to deduct any Excluded Taxes, then (A) the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (B) the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall pay the amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (C) the amounts so deducted and paid to the relevant taxing authority shall be treated under this Agreement as made to the Affected Party.
(b)In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary Taxes or any other similar excise or property taxes or levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any instrument delivered hereunder, other than Connection Taxes resulting from an assignment.
45
(i)that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent on or before the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement) a duly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or successor form establishing that the Affected Party is a United States person that is not subject to U.S. backup withholding Tax;
(ii)that is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof shall timely deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Affected Party’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Affected Party by the Borrower or the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Affected Party’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Affected Party which is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof shall, on or prior to the date that such Affected Party becomes a party to or obtains rights under this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent as applicable: (1) two duly completed and executed copies of the IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor form) as applicable; (2) in the case of an Affected Party claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, two duly completed and executed copies of Form W-8BEN along with a certificate to the effect that such Affected Party is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected; (3) in the case of an Affected Party that is not a beneficial owner of payments made under any Facility Document, two duly completed and executed copies of the IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and the relevant forms prescribed in this clause (ii) on behalf of each beneficial owner, provided, however, that if the Affected Party is a partnership and one or more partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Affected Party may provide the certificate described in (2) above; and (4) to the extent it may lawfully do so, such other forms or certificates as may be required under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete), in order to permit the Borrower and the Paying Agent to make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Affected Party hereunder and under the other Facility Documents without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or to determine the correct amount of Tax to deduct and withhold from payments to the Affected Party. Each such Affected Party, to the extent it may lawfully do so, shall submit to the Borrower and the Paying Agent (with copies to the Administrative Agent) two updated, completed, and duly executed versions of: (x) all forms referred to in the previous sentence upon the expiry of, or the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Paying Agent or the substitution of such form; and (y) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent; and
(iii)shall deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Affected Party under this Agreement and the Loans are exempt from any United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (y) to allow the Borrower
46
and the Paying Agent to determine the amount to deduct or withhold under FATCA from a payment hereunder, and further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, any successor or additional form required by the IRS or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(d)If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the benefit of any Affected Party pursuant to this Section as a result of a change of law or treaty occurring after such Affected Party first became a party to this Agreement, such Affected Party will, at the Borrower’s request, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the sole judgment of such Affected Party, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party.
(e)If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Affected Person due to a failure on the part of the Affected Person (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Affected Person failed to notify the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Affected Person shall indemnify and hold the Paying Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer under this Section 2.12, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Affected Persons under this subsection shall survive the payment of all obligations under this Agreement.
(f)If any Affected Party reasonably determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or the Servicer or with respect to which the Borrower or the Servicer has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12 it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such a refund).
(g)The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
47
SECTION 2.13. Security Interest.
(a)As security for the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Borrower to be performed under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, including the payment when due of all Borrower Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(viii)all income and proceeds of the foregoing
(b)The Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements, and continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Section 2.13. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to the Pledged Timeshare Loans and the other Collateral without the signature of the Borrower. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
48

49
Date) pursuant to Section 2.06 and (3) clause (C) shall be paid to the Persons to whom such amounts are owed on such Refinancing Date, in each case in accordance with the written directions from the Borrower to the Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.16. The Collection Account.
(a)On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall establish and shall thereafter maintain a segregated account in the name of the Borrower for the purpose of receiving Collections (the “Collection Account”). The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account shall be that of the Borrower and the Borrower will report for Federal, state and local income taxes, the income, if any, represented by the Collection Account.
(b)The Collection Account shall be established and at all times maintained with the Paying Agent which shall act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) hereunder (in such capacities, the “Securities Intermediary”) with respect to the Collection Account. Xxxxx Fargo, as initial Paying Agent, hereby confirms that the account number of the Collection Account is 00000000. In the event that the Paying Agent ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days thereof, appoint a Qualified Institution to be the successor Paying Agent and establish a new Collection Account at such Qualified Institution.
(c)The Collection Account shall be a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC and shall be maintained by the Securities Intermediary as a securities intermediary in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Securities Intermediary shall treat the Administrative Agent as the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of all “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to the Collection Account;
(d)The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:
(i)the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of the Collection Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;
(ii)all securities or other property underlying any financial assets (as hereinafter defined) credited to the Collection Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or indorsed in blank or credited to
50
another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Collection Account be registered in the name of the Borrower or any other Person, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially indorsed to the Borrower or any other Person, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or in blank;
(iii)all property transferred or delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the Collection Account;
(iv)the Collection Account is an account to which financial assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat each of the Borrower and the Servicer as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to such account;
(v)the Securities Intermediary shall promptly deliver copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Collection Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) and the Administrative Agent at the address for each set forth on Schedule III to this Agreement; and
(vi)notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, to the extent that Collection Account shall be determined to constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC, the Collection Account shall be subject to the exclusive control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Securities Intermediary will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account without further consent by the Borrower or the Servicer.
(e)The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (including any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Collection Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
(f)Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.16(g) and (h), the Securities Intermediary will comply with “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC)(“Entitlement Orders”) originated by the Borrower or by the Servicer. The Borrower shall not directly make any withdrawals from the Collection Account.
(g)If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any Entitlement Order from the Administrative Agent (i.e., an order directing a transfer or redemption of any financial asset in the Collection Account), or any “instruction” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC), originated by the Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order or instruction without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary will comply with the following with respect to any Entitlement Order or instruction: (i) until its receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below) with respect to the financial assets in the Collection Account, any cash received into the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Borrower or by the Servicer; and (ii) from and after its receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), with respect to the financial assets in the Collection Account and without further consent of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person, any cash received into the Collection Account, may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
51
(h)Upon receipt by the Securities Intermediary of a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), the Securities Intermediary will take all Entitlement Orders, instructions or other directions it receives from the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with respect to the Collection Account and the disposition of funds in the Collection Account, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person, and shall cease complying with Entitlement Orders, instructions or other directions concerning the Collection Account originated by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a written notice from the Servicer identifying amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as constituting Miscellaneous Payments, the Administrative Agent will issue an Entitlement Order to the Securities Intermediary to release such Miscellaneous Payments to the Servicer.
(i)In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Collection Account or any financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited thereto or any security entitlement with respect thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited to the Collection Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collection Account, and (ii) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to the Collection Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
(j)Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the “security intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC).

52
(ii)give the Administrative Agent notice of any default by the Borrower of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Borrower Obligations;

All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.06.
(f)The Paying Agent shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Paying Agent in such capacity herein. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent and, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Paying Agent pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.
(g)The Paying Agent shall not be liable for (i) an error of judgment made in good faith by one of its officers; or (ii) any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with or believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred, by this Agreement or at the direction of a Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Paying Agent under this Agreement, in each case, unless it shall be proved that the Paying Agent shall have been grossly negligent or acted in bad faith or with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(c)neither the Commitment nor the Loans of such Defaulting Committed Lender shall be included in determining whether all Lenders, a majority of the Lenders or the Majority Managing Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Managing Agent of the Lender Group which includes such Defaulting Committed Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Managing Agents have taken or may have taken any action hereunder (including, in each case, any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.01); provided, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or Managing Agents or each affected Lender or Managing Agent, as applicable, which affects such Defaulting Committed Lender or the related Managing Agent differently than other affected Lenders or Managing Agents shall require the consent of such Defaulting Committed Lender or the related Managing Agent, as applicable; and
(d)the Borrower may replace such Defaulting Committed Lender in accordance with Section 2.19 of this Agreement.
In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that a Defaulting Committed Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Committed Lender to be a Defaulting Committed Lender, then (x) the Pro Rata Shares, the Lender Group Limits and Lender Group Percentages shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Committed Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Committed Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent and the Managing
56
Agents shall determine may be necessary in order for such Committed Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share and for such Committed Lender’s Lender Group to hold such Loans in accordance with its Lender Group Percentage and (y) the provisions of clauses (a) through (d) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Committed Lender.
SECTION 2.19. Replacement of Lender Group. If (i) any Affected Party requests compensation under Section 2.09(a) or 2.10(a), (ii) any Conduit Lender ceases to fund or maintain its Loans through the issuance of Commercial Paper, (iii) any Managing Agent fails to give consent to any amendment or waiver to the Facility Documents requiring the consent of 100% of the Managing Agents or 100% of the Managing Agents for all affected Lenders and Managing Agents whose Lender Group Limits together equal or exceed 66 2/3 percent of the Lender Group Limits required for such vote have consented, (iv) any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Committed Lender or becomes the subject of a Bail-In Action or (v) any Designated Delay Funding Lender delivers a Funding Delay Notice,, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, require each Lender in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.03), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Conduit Lender or Committed Lender, as applicable, if a Conduit Lender or Committed Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a member of a Lender Group hereunder, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (y) each member of such assigning Lender Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Loans funded or maintained by such Lender Group, together with all accrued Interest thereon and all accrued Unused Fees and other Borrower Obligations payable to them hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Loans) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.10(a), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

SECTION 7.02. Right to Cure.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, but subject to the requirements in Section 7.02(b) below, in the event the Seller is not in compliance with the covenant described in clause (b) of the definition of Seller Financial Covenants as of any day of determination, no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist as a result of such non-compliance if the Seller receives a capital contribution, the proceeds of which shall be used to cause an increase in Consolidated EBITDA in an amount (such amount, the “Cure Amount”) necessary such that, if such proceeds had been received on the day of determination that gave rise to any noncompliance, the Consolidated EBITDA, as calculated as of such date, would have been sufficient to cause the Seller to be in compliance with such clause (b) for such period (the “Cure Right”); provided, that, such proceeds (i) are actually received by Seller and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure such non-compliance under such clause (b). The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 7.02 may not be relied on for any purposes other than to demonstrate compliance with clause (b) of the definition of Seller Financial Covenants for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default exists.
(b)The Cure Right is subject to the following conditions: (i) the Seller may not effect a cure for (x) consecutive Fiscal Quarters or (y) more than two times during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Amortization Date; and (ii) any capital contribution made under Section 7.02(a) shall not be included for purposes of any calculation other than for determining compliance (for the Fiscal Quarter with respect to which such contribution is made and for the following three Fiscal Quarters) with clause (b) of the definition of Seller Financial Covenants. To the extent the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA under clause (b) of the definition of Seller Financial Covenants is annualized as described in clauses (A) through (C) thereof, no Cure Amounts received by the Seller for any applicable Fiscal Quarters shall be so annualized, but shall only be added to Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with such clause (b) after Consolidated EBITDA has been annualized thereunder.
SECTION 7.03. Remedies.
(a)If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Managing Agents by notice to the Borrower, declare the Amortization Date to have occurred; provided, however, that, in the case of any event described in Section 7.01(e) above, the Amortization Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of such event. Upon any such declaration or automatic occurrence, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, but subject to the following sentence, the limitations set forth in this Article VII and Section 10.09 hereof, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Upon the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Amortization Date in accordance with this Section 7.03, all obligations hereunder shall be immediately due and payable and all Loans shall be immediately due and payable.
(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith, deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control or an activation or control notice under the Clearing Account Control Agreement, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of
76
and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, auction or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and at prices that are consistent with the prevailing market for similar collateral as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Borrower Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including Section 9 504(1)(c) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower.
(c)During the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to instruct the Custodian to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere.
(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by any of the Secured Parties of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) Business Days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Borrower Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any of the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7.04. Appointment as Attorney in Fact.
(a)The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, effective during the continuation of any Event of Default, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, the Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:
(i)in the name of the Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
77
(ii)to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and
(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do.
The Borrower hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until payment in full of all Borrower Obligations.
(b)The Borrower also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 7.03 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c)The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 7.05. Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its material agreements contained in the Facility Documents and the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or such Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Rate, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or such Lender on demand and shall constitute Borrower Obligations.
SECTION 7.06. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

(d)Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). At all times during which any Loan is outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a register as provided herein (the “Register”). The Aggregate Loan Principal Balance (including stated interest) and any interests therein, and any Assignments and Acceptances of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance or any interest therein delivered to and accepted by the Administrative Agent, shall be registered in the Register, and the Register shall serve as a record of ownership that identifies the owner of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balances and any interest therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balances or any interest therein shall be effective unless and until such transfer has been recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. This Section 10.03(d) shall be construed so that the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance and any interest therein is maintained at all times in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code, solely for the purposes of this Section 10.03, the Administrative Agent will act as an agent of the Borrower. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Managing Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
84
(e)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
(f)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Loan); provided that following the sale of a participation under this Agreement (i) the obligations of such Lender shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) reduces the amount of principal or Interest that is payable on account of any Loan or delays any scheduled date for payment thereof or (ii) reduces any fees payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (to the extent relating to payments to the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such fees. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Lender’s source of funds may derive in part from its Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.09 or 2.10 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Lenders shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be liable to any Participant under Sections 2.09 or 2.10 for an amount in excess of that which would be payable to the applicable Lender under such sections. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the aggregate principal balance (including stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Facility Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or other information relating to the Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment or Loan is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Managing Agents.
(h)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of the principal balance of the Loans and Interest with respect thereto) hereunder to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall (x) release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto or (y) create any additional, or modify any existing, obligations of the Seller, the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.
85
SECTION 10.04. Additional Lender Groups. Upon the Borrower’s request and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), one or more additional Lender Group may be added to this Agreement at any time by the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by the members of such proposed additional Lender Group, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, (i) each Person specified therein as a “Conduit Lender” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Lender hereunder, (ii) each Person specified therein as a “Committed Lender” shall become a party hereto as a Committed Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder, (iii) each Person specified therein as a “Managing Agent” shall become a party hereto as a Managing Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Managing Agent hereunder and (iv) the Facility Limit shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Committed Lenders party to such Joinder Agreement.
SECTION 10.05. Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a)Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(b)The Borrower consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.05 shall affect the right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 10.06. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT.
SECTION 10.07. Right of Setoff. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Amortization Date due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time that any Borrower Obligation hereunder is due and payable, to set off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Lender to, or for the account of, the Borrower against the amount of the Borrower Obligations owing by the Borrower to such Person.
SECTION 10.08. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Borrower Obligations or obligation of the Servicer in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such amount, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Borrower Obligations or Servicer obligation held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Borrower Obligations or Servicer obligations, as applicable; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
86
SECTION 10.09. Limitation of Liability.
(a)No claim may be made by any Transaction Party or any other party hereto against any other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each party hereto hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Conduit Lenders under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of each such Conduit Lender and shall be payable only at such time as funds are actually received by, or are available to, such Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper.
(c)No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of such Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of such Conduit Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any Conduit Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions made by them.

SECTION 10.11. No Proceedings. The Borrower, each Lender, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Lender any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy so long as any Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Commercial Paper shall have been outstanding.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Sale and Contribution Agreement”), by and between the Seller and the Borrower, the Seller sells and/or contributes certain timeshare loans and related assets to the Borrower. Such timeshare assets, which from time to time may include, without limitation, timeshare loans and the agreements, documents and instruments related thereto (such as purchase contracts, promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust and all other agreements, documents and interests evidencing interests in, liens upon and security interests in such timeshare loans and the properties the sales of which gave rise to such timeshare loans) are referred to herein as the “Transferred Timeshare Loans”. The Borrower, pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Loan Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, certain institutions and the Administrative Agent, has pledged and collaterally assigned the Transferred Timeshare Loans to the Administrative Agent to secure the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments related thereto. To further evidence the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Transferred Timeshare Loans, the Borrower, in its capacity as assignee of the Transferred Timeshare Loans, has requested that the Seller deliver this Assignment and Power of Attorney. The Seller, in order to further evidence its sale and/or contribution of the Transferred Timeshare Loans to the Borrower, has agreed to make such delivery as evidenced by its execution hereof.
The Seller does hereby convey and transfer to the Borrower all of its right, title and interest whether now or hereafter existing or in which the Seller now or hereafter acquires an interest and wherever the same may be located, in and to or arising under each of the Transferred Timeshare Loans, together with the Seller’s right to receive and collect all interest, principal, and other amounts or proceeds under or in connection with such Transferred Timeshare Loans. The Borrower does hereby collaterally assign to the Administrative Agent all of its right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter existing or in which the Borrower now or hereafter acquires an interest and wherever the same may be located, in and to or arising under each of the Transferred Timeshare Loans, together with the Borrower’s right to receive and collect all interest, principal, and other amounts or proceeds under or in connection with such Transferred Timeshare Loans.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to attach hereto at any time and from time to time a list of Transferred Timeshare Loans (which list may not contain the names of Obligors or any personal identifying information) and record a copy of this Assignment and Power of Attorney, together with such list of Transferred Timeshare Loans, with such jurisdictions as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, to further evidence and perfect its interests in the Transferred Timeshare Loans.
In order to give further effect to the Administrative Agent’s rights under the Loan Agreement, the Sale and Contribution Agreement (as collateral assignee thereof) and this Assignment and Power of Attorney, the Seller by these presents does make, constitute and appoint the Administrative Agent as the Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and in the Seller’s name, place and stead to act and take all such actions required to further evidence and perfect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Transferred Timeshare Loans.

This power of attorney shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
To induce any third party to act hereunder, each of the Borrower and the Seller hereby agrees that any third party receiving a duly executed copy or facsimile of this instrument may act hereunder, and that any notice of revocation or termination hereof or other revocation or termination hereof by operation of law shall be ineffective as to any actions by such third party prior to such third party’s receipt of notice of such revocation or termination.
This Assignment and Power of Attorney may not be amended or modified without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.
Upon the payment in full of all obligations outstanding and otherwise owing under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments delivered in connection therewith, and the termination of all commitments to extend credit thereunder by the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto as lenders, this Assignment and Power of Attorney shall terminate without further action by the Administrative Agent or any other person.
