THE
NOTES
Section
2.1 Designation.
(a) |
There
is hereby created a series of Notes of the Issuer to be issued pursuant
to
this Indenture and which are hereby designated as “Cendant
Timeshare 2005-1 Receivables Funding, LLC Vacation Timeshare Loan
Backed
Notes, Series 2005-1,”
the “Series
2005-1 Notes”
or the “Notes.”

4.67% Vacation Timeshare Loan Backed Notes, Series 2005-1, Class

|
(b) |
The
terms of the Notes shall be as set forth in this
Indenture.
|
Section
2.2 Form
Generally.
The
Notes and the Trustee’s or Authentication Agent’s certificate of authentication
thereon (the “Certificate
of Authentication”)
shall
be in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit A with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may,
consistent herewith, be determined by the Authorized Officers of the Issuer
executing such Notes as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. Any portion
of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse or subsequent pages
thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the
Note.
The
Notes
shall be typewritten, word processed, printed, lithographed or engraved or
produced by any combination of these methods, all as determined by the officers
executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such
Notes.
Section
2.3 [Reserved].
Section
2.4 Determination
of LIBOR.
On
each
LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine LIBOR on the basis of
the
rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears
on Telerate Page 3750 or as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities
News (or by another source selected by the Trustee with notice to the Control
Party) as of 11:00 a.m., London time,
29
on
such
date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that
LIBOR Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London
interbank market for a one-month period. If on such LIBOR Determination Date
two
or more Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for such related
Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations
(rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.0001%). If
on
such LIBOR Determination Date fewer than two Reference Banks provide such
offered quotations, LIBOR for the related Interest Accrual Period will be the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple
of
0.0001%) of the one-month U.S. dollar lending rates that three New York City
banks selected by the Trustee are quoting at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New
York
City time) on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date to leading European
banks.
The
establishment of LIBOR on each LIBOR Determination Date by the Trustee and
the
Trustee’s calculation of the rate of interest applicable to the Class A-2 Notes
for the related Interest Accrual Period will (in the absence of manifest error)
be final and binding. The Trustee shall, upon the establishment of LIBOR on
each
LIBOR Determination Date, notify the Issuer and the Servicer of the
rate.
Section
2.5 Execution,
Authentication and Delivery.
The
Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized
Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be
manual or facsimile.
Notes
bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at the time
of
execution of such Notes Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes.
The
Trustee shall, upon written order of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver Notes
for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $525,000,000, comprising
$300,000,000 principal amount of Class A-1 Notes and $225,000,000 principal
amount of Class A-2 Notes. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such
written order as authority to so authenticate and deliver the Notes without
further inquiry of any Person.
Each
Note
shall be dated the date of its authentication. Beneficial interests in the
Notes
may be purchased in minimum denominations of $500,000 and in integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof.
No
Note
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such
certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section
2.6 Registration;
Registration of Transfer and Exchange;
Transfer Restrictions.
(a)
The
Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note
Register”)
in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer
shall provide for the
30
registration
of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee shall be the
initial “Note
Registrar”
for
the
purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon
any
resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note
Registrar.
If
a
Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar,
the
Issuer will give the Trustee, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty prompt
written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location,
and any change in the location, of the Note Registrar, and the Trustee shall
have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to
obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a
certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar as to the names and
addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number
of
such Notes.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note
Registrar as provided in this Section 2.6, if the requirements of Section
8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of
such
surrendered Note the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain
from the Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one
or more new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount.
At
the
option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized
denominations, of the same Class and of a like aggregate principal amount,
upon
surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)
of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such
surrendered Note and an Issuer Order to authenticate the Note, the Trustee
shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee, the Notes which
the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All
Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the
valid
obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange.
Every
Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and such other documents as the
Trustee may require.
No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge or expense that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to subsection 15.1(e) not involving any
transfer.
The
preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not
be
required to make, and the Note Registrar need not register, transfers or
exchanges of Notes (i) for a period of 20 days preceding the due date for any
payment with respect to the Notes or (ii) after the Trustee sends a notice
of
redemption with respect to such Note in accordance with Section
2.18.
31
(b) |
The
Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities law. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee
is
obligated to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any other
securities or “Blue Sky” laws or to take any other action not otherwise
required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note
without
registration.
|
(c) |
No
transfer of any Note or any interest therein (including, without
limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) shall be made except in compliance
with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.6 (including
the applicable legend to be set forth on the face of each Note as
provided
in Exhibit A to this Indenture) and in Section 2.12 and Section 2.13
in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws (i) to a person (A)

financial and other information concerning the Issuer, the Depositor,
the
Insurer and the Notes as it has deemed necessary in connection with
its
decision to purchase the Notes.

covenants as presented in this
clause (xiv).
|

Rate Swap). Each Noteholder shall, by its acceptance of such Note,
have
agreed to any such amendment or
supplement.

(ii) in the case of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, there is delivered to
the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer
and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the
Note
Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, and provided
that the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute
and
upon its request the Trustee shall
35
authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided,
however,
that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within twenty (20) days shall become due and payable, or shall have
been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer
may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon
the
redemption date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such
replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to
the
proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of the original Note
in
lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such
replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered
or
any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a
protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, claim, liability,
cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee, its agents and/or
counsel, in connection therewith.
Upon
the
issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.7, the Issuer may require
the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, its agents
and/or counsel) connected therewith.
Except
as
set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 2.7, every replacement Note
issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all
other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The
provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section
2.8 Persons Deemed Owner.

to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose
name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of
such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest,
if
any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee, and (ii) except for (A) the final
installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment
Date and (B) the redemption price for any Note called for redemption
pursuant to Section 2.18, in each case which shall be payable as
provided

(b) |
To
the extent of Available Funds, principal shall be due and payable
on the
Notes as provided in Section 3.1(a) or if a Rapid Amortization Event
has
occurred and is continuing as provided in Section 3.1(b), and the
principal amount of the Notes to the extent not previously paid,
shall be
due and payable on the Rated Final Maturity Date. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall
be due
and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event
of
Default described in Section 11.1 shall have occurred and be continuing,
if the Notes have been declared to be immediately due and payable
as
provided in Section 11.1. Principal payments on the Notes shall be
made
pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto. The Insurer will be
subrogated to the rights of each Noteholder to receive payments of
principal with respect to distributions on the Notes to the extent
of any
payment by the Insurer under the Insurance Policy and the Insurer
will be
reimbursed therefor, together with interest thereon as provided in
the
Insurance Agreement, in accordance with Sections 3.1 and
11.7.

Notices
in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed or sent by facsimile
to
Noteholders, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty as provided in Section
15.5.
(c) |
If
the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes when such
interest becomes due and payable on any Payment Date, the Issuer
shall pay
defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the
extent
lawful) at the applicable Note Interest Rate in any lawful manner.
Unless
the interest shall have been paid by the Insurer, the Issuer may
pay such
defaulted interest to the persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent
special record date, which date shall be fixed or caused to be fixed
by
the Issuer and shall be at least three Business Days prior to the
payment
date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such payment
date,
and, prior to the third Business Day prior to any such special record
date, the Issuer shall mail or transmit by facsimile to each Noteholder,
the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty a notice that states the special
record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest
to be
paid.

Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent
that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners
and/or
Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively,
such
required percentage of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes
and has
delivered such instructions to the Trustee;
and
|
(vi) |
the

Section
2.12 Regulation
S Global Notes.
(a) |
Notes
issued in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act will
initially
be in the form of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note. Any beneficial
interest in a Note evidenced by the Temporary Regulation S Global
Note is
exchangeable for a beneficial interest in a Note in fully registered,
global form, without interest coupons, authenticated and delivered
in
substantially the form with respect to each Class attached hereto
in
Exhibit A (the “Permanent
Regulation S Global Note”),
upon the later of (i) the Exchange Date and (ii) the furnishing of a
Regulation S Certificate.
|
(b) |
(i)
On or prior to the Exchange Date, each owner of a beneficial interest
in a
Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall deliver to Euroclear or
Clearstream (as applicable) a Regulation S Certificate; provided,
however,
that any owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation
S Global
Note on the Exchange Date or on any Payment Date that has previously
delivered a Regulation S Certificate hereunder shall not be required
to
deliver any subsequent Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate
previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent date,
in
which case such owner shall promptly notify Euroclear or Clearstream,
as
applicable, thereof and shall deliver an updated Regulation S
Certificate). Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as applicable, shall
deliver
to the Paying Agent or the Trustee a certificate substantially in
the form
of Exhibit C (a “Non-U.S.
Certificate”)
attached hereto promptly upon the receipt of each such Regulation
S
Certificate, and no such owner (or transferee from such owner) shall
be
entitled to receive a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation
S
Global Note or any payment of or principal of interest on or any
other
payment with respect to its beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation
S Global Note prior to the Paying Agent or the Trustee receiving
such
Non-U.S. Certificate from Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to
the
portion of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note owned by such owner
(and, with respect to a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation
S
Global Note, prior to the Exchange
Date).
|
39
(c) |
Any
payments of principal of, interest on or any other payment on a Temporary
Regulation S Global Note received by Euroclear or Clearstream with
respect
to any portion of such Regulation S Global Note owned by a Note Owner
that
has not delivered the Regulation S Certificate required by this
Section 2.12 shall be held by Euroclear and Clearstream solely as
agents
for the Paying Agent and the Trustee. Euroclear and Clearstream shall
remit such payments to the applicable Note Owner (or to a Euroclear
or
Clearstream member on behalf of such Note Owner) only after Euroclear
or
Clearstream has received the requisite Regulation S Certificate.
Until the Paying Agent or the Trustee has received a Non-U.S. Certificate
from Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, that it has received
the
requisite Regulation S Certificate with respect to the ownership
of a
beneficial interest in any portion of a Temporary Regulation S Global
Note, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may revoke the right of Euroclear
or
Clearstream, as applicable, to hold any payments made with respect
to such
portion of such Temporary Regulation S Global Note. If the Paying
Agent or
the Trustee exercises its right of revocation pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, shall
return
such payments to the Paying Agent or the Trustee and the Trustee
shall
hold such payments in the Collection Account until Euroclear or
Clearstream, as applicable, has provided the necessary Non-U.S.
Certificates to the Paying Agent or the Trustee (at which time the
Paying
Agent shall forward such payments to Euroclear or Clearstream, as
applicable, to be remitted to the Note Owner that is entitled thereto
on
the records of Euroclear or Clearstream (or on the records of their
respective members)).

Each
Note
Owner with respect to a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall exchange its
beneficial interest therein for a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation
S Global Note on or after the Exchange Date upon furnishing to Euroclear or
Clearstream (as applicable) the Regulation S Certificate and upon receipt by
the
Paying Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, of the Non-U.S. Certificate thereof
from Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the
terms
of this Section 2.12. On and after the Exchange Date, upon receipt by the Paying
Agent or the Trustee of any Non-U.S. Certificate from Euroclear or Clearstream
described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) with respect to the first
such certification, the Issuer shall execute, upon receipt of an order to
authenticate, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Clearing
Agency Custodian the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note and (ii)
with respect to the first and all subsequent certifications, the Clearing Agency
Custodian shall exchange on behalf of the applicable owners the portion of
the
applicable Temporary Regulation S Global Note covered by such certification
for
a comparable portion of the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note.
Upon
any exchange of a portion of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note for a
comparable portion of a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Clearing
Agency Custodian shall endorse on the schedules affixed to each such Regulation
S Global Note (or on continuations of such schedules affixed to each such
Regulation S Global Note and made parts thereof) appropriate notations
evidencing the date of transfer and (x) with respect to the Temporary Regulation
S Global Note, a decrease in the principal amount thereof equal to the amount
covered by the applicable certification and (y) with respect to the Permanent
Regulation S Global Note, an increase in the principal amount thereof equal
to
the principal amount of the decrease in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note
pursuant to clause (x) above.

2.13 Special Transfer Provisions.
(a) |
If
a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note wishes
at
any time to exchange its beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Note
for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, or to
transfer
a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a person who

in the
following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or
cause
the transfer of the beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee
of
(1) instructions given in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s procedures
from or on behalf of a Note Owner of the Rule 144A Global Note, directing
the Trustee (via the Clearing Agency’s Deposit/Withdrawal of Custodian
System (“DWAC”)),
as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial
interest
in the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred,
(2) a written order in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s
procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream
account to be credited with such increase and the name of such account,
and (3) a certificate given by such Note Owner stating that the exchange
or transfer of such beneficial interest has been made pursuant to
and in
accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities
Act, the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver appropriate
instructions to the Clearing Agency (via DWAC), its nominee, or the
custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, to reduce
or
reflect on its records a reduction of the Rule 144A Global Note by
the
aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule
144A
Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred from the relevant
participant, and the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver
appropriate instructions (via DWAC) to the Clearing Agency, its nominee,
or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, concurrently
with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase
of
the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Note
to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited
to the account of the person specified in such instructions (who
may be
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear or Clearstream
or
another agent member of Euroclear, or Clearstream, or both, as the
case
may be, acting for and on behalf of them) a beneficial interest in
such
Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal
amount of
the Rule 144A Global Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the
Trustee may conclusively rely upon the completed schedule set forth
in the
certificate representing the Notes.
|
(b) |
If
a holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note
wishes
at any time to exchange its beneficial interest in the Regulation
S Global
Note for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, or to
transfer a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to
a person
who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of beneficial interest
in
the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the rules
and
procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as
the
case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the following sentence,
exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer
of such
beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A
Global Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as transfer agent, of (1)
instructions given in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear
or
Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, from or
on behalf
of a Note Owner of the Regulation S Global Note directing the Trustee,
as
transfer agent,
|
41
to
credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule
144A
Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written
order given in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream
and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, containing information
regarding the account with the Clearing Agency to be credited with
such
increase and the name of such account, and (3) prior to the expiration
of
the Distribution Compliance Period, a certificate given by such Note
Owner
stating that the person transferring such beneficial interest in
such
Regulation S Global Note reasonably believes that the person acquiring
such beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note is a QIB and
is
obtaining such beneficial interest for its own account or the account
of a
QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under
the
Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of
the
United States or any other jurisdiction, the Trustee, as transfer
agent,
shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the
Clearing
Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as
the case
may be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Regulation
S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial
interest
in such Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred,
and the
Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate
instructions to the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian
for the
Clearing Agency, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction,
to
increase or reflect on its records an increase of the principal amount
of
the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so exchanged
or
transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account
of the
person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the
Rule
144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of
the
Regulation S Global Note. After the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period, the certification requirement set forth in clause
(3)
of the second sentence of this subsection 2.13(b) will no longer
apply to
such exchanges and transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the Trustee may conclusively rely upon the completed schedule set
forth in
the certificate representing the
Notes.
|
(c) |
Any
beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred
to a
person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in
the
other Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in
such
Global Note and become a beneficial interest in the other Global
Note and,
accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions
and
other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other
Global
Note for as long as it remains such a beneficial
interest.
|
(d) |
Until
the later of the Exchange Date and the provision of the certifications
required by Section 2.9(d), beneficial interests in a Regulation
S Global
Note may only be held through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator
of
Euroclear or Clearstream, or another agent member of Euroclear and
Clearstream acting for and on behalf of them. During the Distribution
Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global
Note
may be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global
Note
only in accordance with the certification requirements described
above.

to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.15, the Trustee shall give all such
42
notices
and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to
the
Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.
Section
2.15 Definitive
Notes.
If (i)
the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to
the
Notes, and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) to
the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, at its option advises the Trustee
in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing
Agency, or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer
Default, Note Owners of beneficial interests aggregating a majority of the
Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes advise the Issuer and the Clearing
Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then
the
Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence
of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of the word-processed Note or Notes representing
the Global Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate the
Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.
None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any

Notes to Note Owners, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive
Notes as Noteholders.
Section
2.16 Payments
on the Notes.
(a) |
Subject
to the availability of funds and to the Priority of Payments, the
Notes
will provide for (i) the payment of Accrued Interest on each Payment
Date
until the earlier of the date on which all Notes are paid in full
and the
Rated Final Maturity Date and (ii) (A) absent the occurrence and
continuation of a Rapid Amortization Event, the payment of the Principal
Distribution Amount on each Payment Date until the earlier of the
date on
which all Notes are paid in full and the Rated Final Maturity Date

the date
on which all Notes are paid in full and the Rated Final Maturity
Date. All
outstanding principal of the Notes will be due and payable (unless
paid on
an earlier date) on the Rated Final Maturity Date. On the Rated Final
Maturity Date Noteholders will be entitled to the Reserve Draw Amount
for
such date, if any and all remaining Available Funds necessary to
reduce
the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes to
zero.
|
(b) |
Interest
and principal payable in respect of the Notes of any Class on any
Payment
Date shall be paid to the Holders of the Notes of such Class as of
the
related Record Date; provided,
however,
that the Insurer will be subrogated to the rights of each Noteholder
to
receive payments of principal and interest, as applicable, with respect
to
distributions on the Notes to the extent of any payment by the Insurer
under the Insurance Policy and the Insurer will be reimbursed therefor,
together with interest thereon as provided in the Insurance Agreement
in

11.7.
|
(c) |
All
reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor
Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on
any
Payment Date shall be
|
43
binding
upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon
the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note; provided,
however,
that any installment of principal that (i) is subsequently rescinded
or
recaptured or (ii) is paid by the Insurer as a result of a draw under
the
Insurance Policy shall not be considered paid by the
Issuer.
|
(d) |
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, principal of, interest on
and all
other amounts payable on or in respect of the Notes will constitute
limited recourse obligations of the Issuer secured by, and payable
from
and to the extent of available proceeds of, the Collateral and any
amounts
paid by the Insurer pursuant to claims made under the Insurance Policy.
The Holders of the Notes shall have recourse to the Issuer only to
the
extent of the Collateral, and following realization of the Collateral
and
all amounts available to the Trustee under the Insurance Policy,
any
claims of the Holders of the Notes shall be extinguished and shall
not
revive thereafter. Neither the Issuer, nor any of its respective
agents,
members, partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, employees
or any
Affiliate of any of them or any of their respective successors or
assigns
or any other Person or entity shall be personally liable for any
amounts
payable, or performance due, under the Notes or this Indenture. It
is
understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall
not (i)
prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become
due under
any security, instrument or agreement which is secured by the Collateral,
or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness
or
obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture until
such

Eligible Collateral shall remain in effect only for so long as a
Ratings
Event is continuing.
|
(e) |
The
Interest Rate Swap shall provide that a “Ratings
Event”
will occur with respect to the Swap Counterparty if the long-term
or
short-term senior unsecured deposits of the Swap Counterparty are
not
rated by at least two of S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch, or if the long-term
and short-term senior unsecured deposit ratings of the Swap Counterparty
cease to be at least “Aa3” and “P-1” by Xxxxx’x or are withdrawn by
Xxxxx'x, or cease to be at least “A” and
|
53
“A-1”
by S&P, or at least “A” and “F1” by Fitch (to the extent such
obligations are rated by S&P, Xxxxx’x or
Fitch).
|
The
Interest Rate Swap shall further provide that if the long-term and short-term
senior unsecured deposit ratings of the Swap Counterparty cease to be at least
“A2” and “P-1” by Xxxxx’x or at least “A-” and “A-1” by S&P, then the Swap
Counterparty shall not be entitled to post Eligible Collateral, as defined
in
the Interest Rate Swap, but rather shall be required to use reasonable efforts
to transfer the Swap Counterparty’s rights and obligations under the Interest
Rate Swap to an eligible transferee.
If
the
Interest Rate Swap is terminated for any reason and no successor swap is entered
into, the Servicer shall solicit bids from one or more prospective replacement
swap counterparties for the price of a replacement swap agreement with a
notional amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2
Notes. With the consent of (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer
Default, the Noteholders of greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount
of the Notes, and in either case upon satisfaction of the Swap Rating Agency
Condition solely in respect of the Class A-2 Notes, the Issuer will enter into
such replacement swap agreement. If (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer
Default, the Noteholders of greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount
of the Notes does not consent to such replacement swap agreement, or if such
Swap Rating Agency Condition is not met, the Issuer will not enter into a
replacement swap agreement.

in
the name, and for the benefit and security, of the Trustee, acting
on
behalf of the Noteholders, (ii) it has entered into the Insurance
Agreement which provides for the issuance of the Insurance Policy
by the

on the

any
draws, interest or fees with respect to the Insurance Policy, except
as
specifically provided herein.

(b) |
Pursuant
to the Insurance Policy, (i) if on any Determination Date Available

and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account are insufficient to
pay the
interest set forth in clause (i) of the definition of Accrued Interest
(excluding interest on past due Accrued Interest) on the Notes in
accordance with the Priority of Payments or Section 11.7, as applicable,
on the immediately following Payment Date, then the Trustee will
no later
than 12:00 noon New York City time on the third Business Day prior
to the
Payment Date make a claim under the Insurance Policy in accordance
with
the procedures set forth in the Insurance Policy in an amount equal
to
such insufficiency and (ii) if on the Determination Date immediately
preceding the Rated Final Maturity Date Available Funds and amounts
on
deposit in the Reserve Account are insufficient to reduce the Aggregate
Principal Amount of the Notes to zero on the Rated Final Maturity
Date,
then the Trustee will no later than 12:00 noon New York City time
on the
second Business Day prior to the Payment Date make a claim under
the
Insurance Policy in an amount necessary to reduce the Aggregate Principal
Amount of the Notes to zero on such Payment Date (the aggregate amounts
demanded in (i) and (ii) pursuant to this sentence on any Payment
Date,
the “Deficiency
Amount.”)
Following receipt by the Insurer of such demand, the Insurer will
pay the
Deficiency Amount by the later of (i) 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the applicable Payment Date and (ii) 12:00 noon, New York City

If
any
portion or all of any amount insured under the Insurance Policy which was
previously distributed to a holder of Notes (other than any distribution
comprised of amounts paid by the Insurer) is recoverable and recovered from
such
Holder as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court exercising
proper jurisdiction in an insolvency proceeding (a “Final
Order”)
(such
recovered amount, a “Preference
Amount”),
pursuant to the Insurance Policy, the Insurer will pay as an Insured Amount
an
amount equal to each such Preference Amount by 12:00 noon on the second Business
Day following receipt by the Insurer on a Business Day of (x) a certified copy
of the Final Order, together with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all rights and claims of the
Trustee and/or such Holder of the Notes relating to or arising under any Note
against the debtor who paid such Preference Amount and constituting an
appropriate instrument, in form satisfactory to the Insurer, appointing the
Insurer as the agent of the Trustee and/or such Holder in respect of such
Preference Amount and (y) a Notice appropriately completed and executed by
the
Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be. Such payment shall be made to the
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named
in
the Final Order and not to the Trustee or Holder of the Notes directly (unless
the Holder has previously paid such amount to such receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee named in such Final Order in which case payment
shall be made to the Trustee for distribution to the Holder upon delivery of
proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Insurer). The Insurer shall
not
be (i) required to make any payment in respect of any Preference Amount to
the
extent such Preference Amount is comprised of amounts previously paid by the
Insurer under the Insurance Policy, or (ii) obligated to make any payment in
respect of any Preference Amount, which payment represents a payment of the
principal amount of any Notes, prior to the time the Insurer otherwise would
have been required to make a payment in respect of such principal, in which
case
the Insurer shall pay the balance of the Preference Amount when such amount
otherwise would have been required.
The
term
“Insured
Amount”
means
(a) as of any Payment Date for the Notes, any Deficiency Amount for such Payment
Date and (b) any Preference Amount to be paid pursuant to the terms of the
Insurance Policy.

of Obligors and Release of Loan Files.
(a) |
Notwithstanding
any other provision contained in this Indenture, including the Collateral
Agent’s, the Trustee’s and the Noteholders’ remedies pursuant hereto and
pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, the rights of any Obligor
to
any Timeshare Property subject to a Pledged Loan shall, so long as
such
Obligor is not in default thereunder, be superior to those of the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders, and
none
of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Insurer or the Noteholders,
so
long as such Obligor is not in default thereunder, shall interfere
with
such Obligor’s use and enjoyment of the Timeshare Property subject
thereto.
|
(b) |
If
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Agent or
the
Trustee shall acquire through foreclosure the Issuer’s interest in any
portion of the Timeshare Property subject to a Pledged Loan, the
Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereby specifically agree to release
or
cause to be released any Timeshare Property from any Lien hereunder
upon
completion of all payments and the performance of all the terms and
conditions required to be made and performed by such Obligor under
such
Pledged Loan, and each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereby
consents to any such release by, or at the direction of, the Collateral
Agent.

At
such time as an Obligor has paid in full the purchase price or the
requisite percentage of the purchase price for deeding pursuant to
a
Pledged Loan and has otherwise fully
|
60
discharged
all of such Obligor’s obligations and responsibilities required to be
discharged as a condition to deeding, the Servicer shall notify the

a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with
such
payment have been deposited in the Collection Account) of a Servicing

of
the related Loan Files. Upon receipt of such certificate and request
or at
such earlier time as is required by applicable law, the Trustee and
the
Collateral Agent (a) shall be deemed, without the necessity of taking
any
action, to have approved release by the Custodian of the Loan Files
to the
Servicer (in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial
Agreement), (b) shall be deemed to approve the release by the Nominee
of
the related deed of title, and any documents and records maintained
in
connection therewith, to the Obligor as provided in the Title Clearing

to the
Obligor and/or (c) shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer and assignment and take such other action as is necessary
to

cause each Loan File or any document therein so released which relates
to
a Pledged Loan for which the Obligor’s obligations have not been fully
discharged to be returned to the Custodian for the sole benefit of

relating to the Pledged Loans and related Pledged Assets under the Term Purchase
Agreement including the rights assigned to the Issuer by the Depositor of the
Depositor’s rights to payment due from the related Seller for repurchases of
Defective Loans (as such term is defined in such Purchase Agreement) resulting
from the breach of representations and warranties under such Purchase Agreement
and the Depositor’s rights under the First Guaranty Agreement.
Section
5.4 Release
of Defective Loans.
(a) |
Deposit
of Release Price or Substitution of Qualified Substitute
Loan.
Subject to subsection (b) of this section, upon discovery by the
Issuer or
upon written notice from the Depositor or the Trustee that any Pledged
Loan is a Defective Loan, the Issuer shall, within 90 days after the
earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice thereof (i) if such
Defective Loan constitutes a Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which the Depositor acquired such Defective
Loan,
direct the applicable Seller to perform its obligation under such
Purchase
Agreement to either (A) deposit the Release Price with the Trustee
or
(B) deliver to the Trustee one or more Qualified Substitute Loans in
substitution for such Defective Loan and pay to the Trustee the
Substitution Adjustment Amount, or (ii) if such Defective Loan does
not
constitute a Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement
pursuant
to which the Depositor acquired such Defective Loan, deposit the
Release
Price with the Trustee. If such Defective Loan constitutes a Defective
Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Depositor
acquired such Defective Loan, then, notwithstanding any other provision
of
this Indenture, the Issuer shall have no obligation or liability
with
respect to such Defective Loan should the applicable Seller fail
to
perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement with respect
to such
Defective Loan.
|
(b) |
Substitution.
If under a Purchase Agreement, a Seller delivers a Qualified Substitute
Loan for release of a Defective Loan, the Issuer shall execute a
Supplemental Grant in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto
and
deliver such Supplemental Grant to the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent.
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Loans on or prior
to the
Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution shall not
be
property of the Issuer, but, to the extent received by the Servicer,
will
be retained by the Servicer and remitted by the Servicer to the Seller
on
the next succeeding Payment Date. Payments due and other amounts
received
with respect to the Qualified Substitute Loans after the Calculation
Date
next preceding the date of substitution shall be property of the
Issuer.
Scheduled Payments due on a Defective Loan on or prior to the Calculation
Date next preceding the date of substitution shall be property of
the
Issuer, and after such Calculation Date next preceding the date of
substitution the Seller shall be entitled to retain all Scheduled
Payments
due thereafter and other amounts received in respect of such Defective
Loan. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to deliver a schedule of
any
Defective Loans so removed and Qualified Substitute Loans so substituted
to the Trustee and such schedule shall be an amendment to the Loan
Schedule. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Loan or
Qualified Substitute Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Indenture
in all respects, the Issuer shall be deemed to have made the
representations, and warranties with respect to each Qualified Substitute
Loan set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2 of this Indenture, in each
case
|
65
as
of the date of substitution, and the Issuer shall be deemed to have
made a
representation and warranty that each Loan so substituted is a Qualified
Substitute Loan as of the date of substitution. The provisions of
Section
5.4(a) shall apply to any Qualified Substitute Loan as to which the
Issuer
has breached the Issuer’s representations and warranties in Section 5.1
and 5.2 to the same extent as for any other Pledged Loan. In connection
with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Loans for
one or
more Defective Loans, the Servicer shall determine the Substitution
Adjustment Amount. If such Defective Loan constitutes a Defective
Loan as
defined in the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Depositor
acquired
such Defective Loan, the Issuer shall direct the applicable Seller
to
perform its obligation under such Purchase Agreement to pay to the
Trustee
the Substitution Adjustment Amount in immediately available funds.
Such
Substitution Adjustment Amount shall be paid to the Trustee and treated
as
if it were a portion of the Release Price for the Defective Loan
and
included in Available Funds as such. If such Defective Loan constitutes
a
Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which
the
Depositor acquired such Defective Loan, then, notwithstanding any
other
provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall have no obligation
or
liability to pay the Substitution Adjustment Amount with respect
to such
Defective Loan should the applicable Seller fail to perform its obligation
under the Purchase Agreement to pay such Substitution Adjustment
Amount to
the Trustee.
|
(c) |
Release
of Defective Loan.
If a Seller repurchases a Pledged Loan as a Defective Loan or provides
a
Qualified Substitute Loan and the related Substitution Adjustment
Amount,
if any, for a Defective Loan, then the Issuer shall automatically
and
without further action sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to such Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty,
all
of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the related Defective
Loan, the related Timeshare Property, the Loan File relating thereto
and
any other related Pledged Assets, all monies due or to become due
with
respect thereto and all Collections with respect thereto (including
payments received from Obligors after the Calculation Date next preceding
the date of transfer, subject to the payment of any Substitution
Adjustment Amount). The Issuer shall execute such documents, releases
and
instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions
as shall
reasonably be requested by the applicable Seller to effect the conveyance
of such Defective Loan, the related Timeshare Property, the related
Loan
File and any other related Pledged Assets pursuant to this Section
5.4(c).
|
Promptly
after the repurchase of Defective Loans in respect of which the Release Price
has been paid or a Qualified Substitute Loan has been provided, on such date,
the Issuer shall direct the Servicer to delete such Defective Loans from the
Loan Schedule.
The
obligations of the Issuer set forth in Section 5.4(a) shall constitute the
sole
remedy against the Issuer with respect to any breach of the representations
and
warranties set forth in Section 5.2 available hereunder to the Trustee, the

creditors of the Affiliate.

Effect.

instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee. Such “original copies” may be provided in
microfiche or other electronic form to the extent permitted under
the
Custodial Agreement. In the event that the Issuer receives any other
instrument or any writing which, in either event, evidences a Pledged
Loan
or other Pledged Assets, the Issuer shall deliver such instrument
or
writing to the Custodian to be held as collateral in which the Collateral

of
transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Trustee.
|
(iv) |
The
Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee, and gives the Collateral Agent
its
irrevocable power of attorney (which authorization is coupled with
an
interest and is irrevocable), in the name of the Issuer or otherwise,
to
execute, deliver, file and record any Financing Statement, continuation
statement, amendment, specific assignment or other writing or paper
and to
take any other action that the Trustee at the direction of the Control
Party, may deem necessary or appropriate to further perfect the Lien
created hereby. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral

under
Section 3.1 to the Trustee.

a
reasonable amount of cost or effort, in order to maintain each such

ARTICLE
VII
SERVICING
OF PLEDGED LOANS
Section
7.1 Responsibility
for Loan Administration.
The
Servicer shall manage, administer, service and make collections on the Pledged
Loans on behalf of the Trustee and Issuer. Without limiting the generality
of
the foregoing, but subject to all other provisions hereof, the Trustee and
the
Issuer grant to the Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute and the
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to so execute and deliver, on behalf
of itself, the Issuer and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments
of
satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and
all
other comparable instruments with respect to the Pledged Loans, any related
Mortgages and the related Timeshare Properties, but only to the extent deemed
necessary by the Servicer.
Each
of
the Trustee, the Issuer and the Collateral Agent, at the request of a Servicing
Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any documents in its possession
reasonably requested or take any action reasonably requested, necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder (subject, in the case of requests for documents contained
in
any Loan Files, to the requirements of Section 6.1(l)).
CTRG-CF
is hereby appointed as the Servicer until such time as any Service Transfer
shall be effected under Article XII.
Section
7.2 Standard
of Care.
In
managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the Pledged Loans
pursuant to this Indenture, the Servicer will exercise that degree of skill
and
care consistent with Customary Practices and the Credit Standards and Collection
Policies.
Section
7.3 Records.
The
Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, maintain such books
of account, computer data files and other records as will enable the Trustee
to
determine the status of each Pledged Loan and will enable such Loan to be
serviced in accordance with the terms of this Indenture by a Successor Servicer
following a Service Transfer.
Section
7.4 Loan
Schedule.
The
Servicer shall at all times maintain the Loan Schedule and electronically
provide to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Insurer, the Collateral Agent and the
Custodian a current, complete copy of the Loan Schedule. The Loan Schedule
may
be in
76
one
or
multiple documents including the original listing and monthly amendments listing
changes.
Section
7.5 Enforcement.
(a) |
The
Servicer will, consistent with Section 7.2, act with respect to the
Pledged Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of Collections
in respect of such Pledged Loans (including, to the extent necessary,
instituting foreclosure proceedings against the Timeshare Property,
if
any, underlying a Pledged Loan or disposing of the underlying Timeshare
Property, if any). The Servicer will diligently monitor the integration
of
the collection functions of CTRG-CF and Trendwest and to the extent
the
Servicer detects any deterioration in collections or any increase
in
delinquencies or defaults or other factors which indicate or might
indicate any deterioration in collections, the Servicer will use
its best
efforts to determine the source of the problem and will use its best
efforts to remedy such problem.
|
(b) |
The
Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon Pledged Loans, in its
own
name, if possible, or as agent for the Issuer. If the Servicer elects
to
commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Pledged Loan, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the
Pledged
Loan to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however,
in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer
may not
enforce a Pledged Loan on the grounds that it is not a real party
in
interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Pledged Loan, the Trustee
on
behalf of the Issuer shall, at the Servicer’s expense, take such steps as
the Servicer and the Trustee may mutually agree are necessary (such
agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) to enforce the Pledged
Loan,
including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer. The
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
thereby.
|
(c) |
The
Servicer, upon notice to the Trustee, may grant to the Obligor on
any
Pledged Loan any rebate, refund or adjustment out of the appropriate
Collection Account that the Servicer in good faith believes is required
as
a matter of law; provided
that, on any Business Day on which such rebate, refund or adjustment
is to
be paid hereunder, such rebate, refund or adjustment shall only be
paid to
the extent of funds otherwise available for distribution from the
Collection Account.
|
(d) |
The
Servicer will not extend, amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms
of
any Pledged Loan (other than in accordance with Customary Practices)
or
permit the rescission or cancellation of any Pledged Loan, whether
for any
reason relating to a negative change in the related Obligor’s
creditworthiness or inability to make any payment under the Pledged
Loan
or otherwise.
|
(e) |
The
Servicer shall have discretion to sell the collateral which secures
any
Defaulted Loans free and clear of the Lien of this Indenture, in
exchange
for cash, in accordance with Customary Practices and Credit Standards
and
Collection Policies. All proceeds of any such sale of such collateral
shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection
Account.
|
77
(f) |
The
Servicer shall not sell any Defaulted Loan or any collateral securing
a
Defaulted Loan to any Seller or Originator except for an amount at
least
equal to the fair market value
thereof.
|
(g) |
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the Servicer shall have no
obligation to, and shall not, foreclose on the collateral securing
any
Pledged Loan unless the proceeds from such foreclosure will be sufficient
to cover the expenses of such foreclosure. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, proceeds from the foreclosure by the
Servicer
on the collateral securing any Pledged Loans shall first be applied
by the
Servicer to reimburse itself for the expenses of such foreclosure,
and any
remaining proceeds shall be deposited into the Collection
Account.
|
Section
7.6 Trustee
and Collateral Agent to Cooperate.
Upon
request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall
perform such other acts as are reasonably requested by the Servicer (including
without limitation the execution of documents) and otherwise cooperate with
the
Servicer in enforcement of the Trustee’s rights and remedies with respect to
Pledged Loans.
Section
7.7 Other
Matters Relating to the Servicer.
The
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to:
(a) |
advise
the Trustee in connection with the amount of withdrawals from Accounts
in
accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture;
|
(b) |
execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Pledged
Loans
and, after the delinquency of any Pledged Loan and to the extent
permitted
under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence
enforcement proceedings with respect to such Pledged Loan including
without limitation the exercise of rights under any power-of-attorney
granted in any Pledged Loan; and
|
(c) |
make
any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with,
and to
seek any consents or authorizations from the Securities and Exchange
Commission and any state securities authority on behalf of the Issuer
as
may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or state
securities or reporting requirements
laws.
|
Prior
to
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee agrees that it
shall promptly follow the instructions of the Servicer duly given to withdraw
funds from the Accounts.
Section
7.8 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its servicing activities hereunder the Servicer shall be
entitled to receive the Monthly Servicer Fee.
Section
7.9 Costs
and Expenses.
The
costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties
hereunder, including without limitation the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement of Pledged Loans, shall be paid by the Servicer
and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement hereunder from the Issuer
as
provided in Section 3.1. Failure
78
by
the
Servicer to receive reimbursement shall not relieve the Servicer of its
obligations under this Indenture.
Section
7.10 Representations

and is
in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has obtained all necessary

of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized

as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a suit at law or in
equity).
|
(d) |
No
Conflict; No Violation.
The execution and delivery by the Servicer of each of the Transaction
Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and the performance by
the
Servicer of the transactions contemplated by such agreements and
the
fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof applicable
to
the Servicer, will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach
of the
terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or
lapse of
time or both) a default under any provision of any existing law or
regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to the
Servicer
or its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any material indenture,
contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other material instrument,
to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, except
where
such conflict, violation, breach or default would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
|
(e) |
No
Proceedings.
There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge
of
the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer, before any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental

(l) |
Change

and
liable to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Insurer and the

Section
11.2 Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If
any
Event of Default occurs under subparagraph (d) of Section 11.1, the principal
of
each Class of Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will
automatically be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. If any
other Event of Default occurs, (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default,
the Majority Holders of the Notes may accelerate the Notes by declaring the
principal of each Class of Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer,
the Trustee, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty and upon any such declaration
such principal and interest shall become immediately due and
payable.
88
(b) At
any
time after such an acceleration or declaration of acceleration of the Notes
has
been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
been
obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture, such acceleration may
be
rescinded by (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default, the Holders
of
greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes by written
notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Swap Counterparty. No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
(c) If
an
Event of Default has occurred and the Notes have been accelerated, payments
will
continue to be made in accordance with the Priority of Payment unless a Rapid
Amortization Event has also occurred, in which case payments will be made as
provided in Section 3.1 upon the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event;
provided,
however,
if the
Trustee has sold the Collateral under this Indenture, then payments shall be
made as provided in Section 11.7.
Section
11.3 Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The
Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following the occurrence
of
an Event of Default, and such acceleration has not been rescinded and annulled,
the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the
Noteholders, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty the whole amount then due
and
payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue
principal and upon overdue installments of interest, as determined for each
Class, any amounts due to the Insurer and any amounts due to the Swap
Counterparty, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including
the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel; provided,
however,
the
amount due under this Section 11.3 shall not exceed the aggregate proceeds
from
the sale of the relevant Collateral and amounts otherwise held by the Issuer
and
available for such purpose.
Until
such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer shall pay the principal of and
interest on the Notes to the Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders
to be applied as provided in this Indenture, whether or not the Notes are
overdue.
If
the
Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, then the Trustee
for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty and
as
trustee of an express trust, may, with the prior written consent of or shall
at
the direction of (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default, the Holders
of
greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes, institute
suits
in equity, actions at law or other legal, judicial or administrative proceedings
(each, a “Proceeding”)
for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding
to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and
collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
by
law out of the Collateral wherever situated. In the event a Proceeding shall
involve the liquidation of Collateral, the Trustee shall pay all costs and
expenses for such Proceeding and shall be reimbursed for such costs and expenses
from the resulting liquidation proceeds. In the event that the Trustee
determines that liquidation proceeds will not be sufficient to fully reimburse
the Trustee, the Trustee shall receive indemnity satisfactory to it against
such
costs and expenses
89
from
the
Noteholders (which indemnity may include, at the Trustee’s option, consent by
each Noteholder authorizing the Trustee to be reimbursed from amounts available
in the Collection Account) or if the Trustee is acting at the direction of
the
Insurer, from the Insurer in which case an unsecured indemnity from the Insurer
shall be sufficient.
If
an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, with the prior
written consent of or shall at the direction of (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation of an
Insurer Default, the Holders of greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal
Amount of the Notes, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights
of
the Noteholders and the Insurer hereunder and under the Notes, by such
appropriate Proceedings as are necessary to effectuate, protect and enforce
any
such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant, agreement,
obligation or indemnity in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Section
11.4 Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.
In case
of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other Proceeding
relative to the Issuer or the property of the Issuer or its creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceeding or
otherwise,
(a) |
to
file a proof of claim for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing
and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all amounts owing under the
Insurance Agreement and to file such other papers or documents as
may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel),
the
Insurer and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceeding,
and
|
(b) |
to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on
any such claims and to distribute the same to the Noteholders and
the
Insurer;
|
and
any
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or other similar
official) in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to
make
such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent
to
the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due
to the Trustee under Article XIII.
Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or the Insurer any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or the Insurer, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or the Insurer in
any
such Proceeding.
Section
11.5 Remedies.
(a) If
an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent (upon direction by the Trustee) may, with the prior written
consent of, or shall

Collateral pursuant to Section 11.7); and
(5) exercise
any rights or remedies under this Agreement, the First Guaranty Agreement,
the

Collateral which constitutes Pledged Loans and Pledged Assets following an
Event
of Default other than an Event of Default described in this Agreement resulting
from an Insolvency Event, unless either (i) (A) the Insurer, if no
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, or (B) during the
continuation of an Insurer Default, the Holders of 100% of the Aggregate
Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, consents thereto, (ii) the
proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to discharge in full the
amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and Accrued Interest
and the fees and all other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section
11.7
or (iii) (A) the Control Party directs and the Trustee, only if the Insurer
is
not the Control Party, determines that the Collateral will not continue to
provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of, and interest on,
the
Notes as they would have become due if such Notes would not have been declared
due and payable. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
(A)
the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, or
(B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default, the Holders of 100% of
the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding directs the Trustee
to sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral, the Trustee will dispose of
the
Collateral as directed.
91
For
purposes of clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the preceding paragraph and Section
11.6, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
independent accountant or an independent investment banking firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of the distributions and other amounts receivable with respect
to
the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on
the
Notes, and any such opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility
or sufficiency. The Issuer shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of
any
such opinion.
For
purposes of this Section 11.5, the Trustee agrees to take all actions requested
or directed by (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default, the
Holders of 100% of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding
as provided for in this Section 11.5.
(b) In
addition to the remedies provided in Section 11.5(a), the Trustee may with
the
consent of and shall at the direction of (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer
Default, the Holders of greater than 50% of the Aggregate Principal Amount
of
the Notes institute a Proceeding in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust solely to compel performance of a covenant, agreement, obligation or
indemnity or to cure the representation or warranty or statement, the breach
of
which gave rise to the Event of Default; and the Trustee shall enforce any
equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.
Section
11.6 Optional
Preservation of Collateral.
If the
Notes have been accelerated following an Event of Default and such acceleration
and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, to the extent
permitted by law, the Trustee at the request of the Control Party shall retain
the Collateral securing the Notes intact for the benefit of the Holders of
the
Notes, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty and in such event it shall deposit
all funds received with respect to the Collateral into the Collection Account
and apply such funds in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in
this
Indenture, as if there had not been such an acceleration. So long as the Trustee
retains the Collateral, the Trustee shall continue to apply all distributions
received on such Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.
Section

If the
Notes have been accelerated following an Event of Default and such acceleration
and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee

it
being
understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders shall have any right

shall have the right, which right is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal and interest on such Note on or after the respective
due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture and to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be

however,
that
the Insurer will be subrogated to the rights of each Noteholder to receive

If the
Trustee, the Insurer or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce

the
Issuer, the Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders shall, subject to any

their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of
the
Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such

all amounts payable on the Notes and all amounts owing to the Insurer shall
have
been paid, whichever occurs later. The Trustee may from time to time postpone

Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as
compensation for any Sale. The Trustee may reimburse itself from the proceeds
of
any sale for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
such
sale. The net proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided in this
Indenture.
(b) The
Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the
Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof. In addition, the Trustee is hereby
irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer

95
Section
11.15 Control
by the Insurer or the Noteholders.

SERVICER
DEFAULTS
Section
12.1 Servicer
Defaults.
If any
one of the following events (each, a “Servicer
Default”)
shall
occur and be continuing:
(a) any
failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit on or before
the date such payment, transfer or deposit is required to be made or given
by
the Servicer under the terms of this Indenture and such failure remains
unremedied for two Business Days; provided,
however,
that if
the Servicer is unable to make a payment, transfer or deposit when due and
such
failure is as a result of circumstances beyond the Servicer’s control, the grace
period shall be extended to five Business Days;
(b) failure
on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants
or
agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Indenture or any other Transaction
Document to which the Servicer is a party and such failure continues unremedied
for a period of 30 days after the earlier of the date on which the Servicer
has
actual knowledge of the failure and the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Insurer
or
the Holders of 25% or more of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the
Notes;
(c) any
representation and warranty made by the Servicer in this Indenture shall prove
to have been incorrect in any material respect when made and has a material
and
adverse impact on the Trustee’s interest in the Pledged Loans and other Pledged
Assets and the Servicer is not in compliance with such representation or
warranty within 30 Business Days after the
96
earlier
of the date on which the Servicer has actual knowledge of such breach and the
date on which written notice of such breach requiring that such breach be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the
Servicer and the Trustee by the Insurer or the Holders of 25% or more of the
Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes;
(d) an
Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer or Cendant;
or
(e) the
Servicer shall fail to deliver the reports described in Section 8.1 of this
Indenture and such failure shall continue for five Business Days.
THEN,
so
long as such Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Control Party by notice
then given in writing to the Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Issuer, the
Trustee, the Insurer and each Rating Agency (a “Termination
Notice”),
may
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under
this Indenture (such termination being herein called a “Service
Transfer”).
After
receipt by the Servicer and the Trustee of such Termination Notice and subject
to the terms of Section 12.2(a), the Trustee shall automatically assume the
responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder until the date that a Successor
Servicer shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 12.2 and all authority
and power of the Servicer under this Indenture shall pass to and be vested
in
the Trustee or such Successor Servicer, as the case may be, without further
action on the part of any Person, and, without limitation, the Trustee at the
direction of the Control Party (which authorization is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable) is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of
the
Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the
failure of the Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments,
and
to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights.
The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
to
conduct servicing hereunder, including without limitation the transfer to such
Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the Pledged
Loans
provided for under this Indenture, including without limitation all authority
over any Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer
for deposit in a Lockbox Account or which shall thereafter be received by the
Servicer with respect to the Pledged Loans, and in assisting the Successor
Servicer in enforcing all rights under this Indenture including, without
limitation, allowing the Successor Servicer’s personnel access to the Servicer’s
premises for the purpose of collecting payments on the Pledged Loans made at
such premises. The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records
relating to the Pledged Loans to the Successor Servicer in such electronic
form
as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer
to
the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary
for the continued servicing of the Pledged Loans in the manner and at such
times
as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer shall allow
the
Successor Servicer access to the Servicer’s officers and employees. To the
extent that compliance with this Section 12.1 shall require the Servicer to
disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer
reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required
to
enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the
Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest and as shall be
satisfactory in form and substance to the Successor Servicer. The Servicer
hereby consents to the entry against it of an
97
order
for
preliminary, temporary or permanent injunctive relief by any court of competent
jurisdiction, to ensure compliance by the Servicer with the provisions of this
paragraph.
Section
12.2 Appointment
of Successor.
(a) Appointment.
On and
after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section
12.1, or any permitted resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.12,
the
Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Indenture
until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by
(A)
the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) during
the continuation of an Insurer Default, the Trustee or until a date mutually
agreed upon by the Servicer and (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default,
the Trustee. Upon receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, (A) the
Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) during
the
continuation of an Insurer Default, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control
Party, shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice
appoint a successor servicer (in any case, the “Successor
Servicer”)
and
such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption
in
a form acceptable to the Trustee and, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Insurer; provided
that
such appointment shall be subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition. In the event a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted
the appointment by the date of termination stated in the Termination Notice
the
Trustee shall automatically assume responsibility for performing the servicing
functions under this Indenture on the date of such termination. In the event
that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its
appointment and the Trustee is legally unable or otherwise not capable of
assuming responsibility for performing the servicing functions under this
Indenture, the Trustee shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of not less
than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of
receivables similar to the Pledged Loans or other consumer finance receivables;
provided,
however,
pending
the appointment of a Successor Servicer, the Trustee will act as the Successor
Servicer.
(b) Duties
and Obligations of Successor Servicer.
Upon
its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects
to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Indenture and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities and duties relating thereto placed
on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this
Indenture to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor
Servicer.
(c) Compensation
of Successor Servicer; Costs and Expenses of Servicing Transfer.
In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make
arrangements for the compensation of the Successor Servicer. The costs and
expenses of transferring servicing shall be paid by the Servicer which is
resigning or being replaced and to the extent such costs and expenses are not
so
paid, shall be paid from Collections as provided herein in Sections 3.1 and
11.7.
Section
12.3 Notification
to Noteholders.
Upon
the occurrence of any Servicer Default or any event which, with the giving
of
notice or passage of time or both, would become a Servicer Default, the Servicer
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee and the
98
Issuer
and the Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Note Register and to the Insurer and the Swap
Counterparty. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer
pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Issuer and to the Noteholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Note Register and to the Insurer and the Swap
Counterparty.
Section
12.4 Waiver
of Past Defaults.
With
respect to a Servicer Default described in Section 12.1, (A) the Insurer, if
no
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) during the continuation
of
an Insurer Default, the Majority Holders of the Notes may, on behalf of all
Holders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been remedied for every purpose of this Indenture. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section
12.5 Termination
of Servicer’s Authority.
All
authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Indenture shall
automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Indenture pursuant
to
Section 14.1, and shall pass to and be vested in the Issuer and without
limitation the Issuer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents
and
other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights
upon
termination of this Indenture. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Issuer
in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
to
conduct servicing on the Pledged Loans. The Servicer shall transfer its
electronic records relating to the Pledged Loans to the Issuer in such
electronic form as Issuer may reasonably request and shall transfer all other
records, correspondence and documents relating to the Pledged Loans to the
Issuer in the manner and at such times as the Issuer shall reasonably request.
To the extent that compliance with this Section 12.5 shall require the Servicer
to disclose information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential,
the Issuer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and
confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect
its
interests and as shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
the
Issuer.
Section
12.6 Matters
Related to Successor Servicer.
The
Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the
Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied
by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor
Servicer.
The
Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for the prompt
and
safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer,
all
necessary servicing files and records, including (as deemed necessary by the
Successor Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan documentation, (ii)
servicing system tapes, (iii) Pledged Loan payment history, (iv) collections
history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business on the day
immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer, reflecting all
applicable Pledged Loan information.
Any
Successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which
was
99
required
to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the Successor
Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged
action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer.
The
Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default
hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any
delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Indenture if any such failure
or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting in accordance with
information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Successor Servicer
or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The
Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and
shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party,
including the Servicer, the Issuer or the Trustee or for any inaccuracy or
omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Servicer from
any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity,
unenforceability of any Pledged Loan under applicable law or the breach or
the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Pledged
Loan.
If
the
Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the role of Successor Servicer
hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled to appoint subservicers
whenever it shall be deemed necessary by such Successor Servicer. The Successor
Servicer shall, notwithstanding any such subservicing arrangements, remain
obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the
Insurer and the Noteholders for the servicing and administration of the Pledged
Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture to the same extent
and
under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Pledged Loans.

otherwise
incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of

that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or
liability is not reasonably assured to it (which adequate indemnity
may
include, at the Trustee’s option, consent by (A) the Insurer, if no
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) during the

such
cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such
action.

(f) |
the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys
or a
custodian, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct

and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee
or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of
the
Collateral and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for
the
benefit of the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Swap Counterparty, such title
to
the Collateral, or any part thereof, and subject to the other provisions of
this

jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Collateral, or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no
trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
of
any other trustee hereunder; and

as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article
XIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
107
acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified

as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture,

Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
a

available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee; provided,
however,
that,

personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Noteholders not
parties to such direction, or if the Trustee has not been offered reasonable
security or indemnity (it being agreed that an unsecured indemnity from the
Insurer shall constitute sufficient indemnity), as contemplated by Section
13.2,

Section
14.3 [Reserved].
Section
14.4 Release
of Collateral.
Upon
the termination of this Indenture pursuant to Section 14.1, the Trustee shall
release all liens and assign to the Issuer (without recourse, representation
or
warranty) all right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Collateral
and all proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
of assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as
shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to release the security interest
of
the Trustee in the Collateral.
110
Section
14.5 Release
of Defaulted Loans.
(a) Issuer
May Obtain Release.
If any
Pledged Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan during any Due Period, the Issuer may,
subject to the limitation set forth in Section 14.5(d), obtain a release of
such
Pledged Loan from the lien of this Indenture on any Payment Date thereafter.
To
obtain such release the Issuer shall be required either to (i) pay the
Release Price of such Defaulted Loan to the Trustee for deposit into the
Collection Account or (ii) deliver to the Trustee one or more Qualified
Substitute Loans in substitution for such Defaulted Loan and pay the applicable
Substitution Adjustment Amount to the Trustee for deposit into the Collection
Account. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee, the Insurer
and
the Collateral Agent of any release pursuant to this Section 14.5 not less
than
two Business Days prior to the Payment Date on which such release is to be
effected, specifying the Defaulted Loan and the Release Price therefor. The
Issuer shall (i) pay the Release Price to the Trustee for deposit into the
Collection Account not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Payment
Date on which such release is made or (ii) deliver the Qualified Substitute
Loan or Qualified Substitute Loans by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Payment Date on which such release is made and pay any Substitution Adjustment
Amount to the Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Release Date.
(b) Substitution.
If a
Seller delivers to the Issuer a Qualified Substitute Loan or Qualified
Substitute Loans in lieu of payment for the repurchase of a Defaulted Loan,
the
Issuer shall execute a Supplemental Grant in substantially the form of Exhibit
G
hereto and deliver such Supplemental Grant to the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent. Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Loans on or prior
to
the Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution shall not be
property of the Issuer, but, to the extent received by the Servicer, will be
retained by the Servicer and remitted by the Servicer to the Seller on the
next
succeeding Payment Date. Payments due with respect to the Qualified Substitute
Loans after the Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution shall
be property of the Issuer. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to electronically
deliver a schedule of any Defaulted Loans so removed and Qualified Substitute
Loans so substituted to the Trustee and such schedule shall be an amendment
to
the Loan Schedule. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Loan or
Qualified Substitute Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Indenture
in
all respects, the Issuer shall be deemed to have made the representations,
and
warranties with respect to each Qualified Substitute Loan set forth in Section
5.1 and 5.2 of this Indenture, in each case as of the date of substitution,
and
the Issuer shall be deemed to have made a representation and warranty that
each
Loan so substituted is a Qualified Substitute Loan as of the date of
substitution. The provisions of Section 5.4(a) shall apply to any Qualified
Substitute Loan as to which the Issuer has breached the Issuer’s representations
and warranties in Section 5.1 and 5.2 to the same extent as for any other
Pledged Loan. In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified
Substitute Loans for one or more Defaulted Loans, the Servicer shall determine
the Substitution Adjustment Amount. Such Substitution Adjustment Amount shall
be
paid to the Trustee and treated as if it were a portion of the Release Price
for
the Defaulted Loan and included in Available Funds as such.
(c) Release
of Defaulted Loans.
Upon
each release of a Pledged Loan under this Section 14.5, the Collateral Agent
and
the Trustee shall automatically and without further action release, sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse,
111
representation
or warranty, all of the Collateral Agent’s and Trustee’s right, title and
interest in and to such Defaulted Loan and the Transferred Assets related to
such Defaulted Loan free and clear of the lien of this Indenture. The Collateral
Agent and the Trustee shall execute such documents, releases and instruments
of
transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be
requested by the Issuer to effect the release of such Defaulted Loans and the
related Transferred Assets pursuant to this Section 14.5. Promptly after the
occurrence of a Release Date and after the payment for or substitution for
and
release of a Defaulted Loan, in respect to which the Release Price has been
paid
or Qualified Substitute Loans have been provided, the Issuer shall direct the
Servicer to delete such Defaulted Loans from the Loan Schedule.
(d) Limitations
on Purchase of Defaulted Loans.
The
amount of Defaulted Loans for which the Issuer is permitted to obtain a release
and transfer to a Seller is limited as provided in the Fairfield Master Loan
Purchase Agreement and the Trendwest Master Loan Purchase Agreement and as
follows:
(i) The
Loan
Balance of Pledged Loans which become Defaulted Loans and which are released
and
transferred to CTRG-CF, as Seller, shall not exceed in the aggregate 16.0%
of
the Loan Balance of the Pledged Loans as of the Cut-Off Date which were
Fairfield Loans; for such purposes, the Loan Balance of a Pledged Loan shall
be
calculated on the day prior to the day the Pledged Loan became a Defaulted
Loan;
and
(ii) The
Loan
Balance of Pledged Loans which become Defaulted Loans and which are released
and
transferred to Trendwest, as Seller, shall not exceed in the aggregate 16.0%
of
the Loan Balance of the Pledged Loans as of the Cut-Off Date which were
Trendwest Loans; for such purposes, the Loan Balance of a Pledged Loan shall
be
calculated on the day prior to the day the Pledged Loan became a Defaulted
Loan.
Section
14.6 Release
Upon Payment in Full.
At such
time as the Notes have been paid in full, all fees and expenses of the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent with respect to the Notes have been paid in full,
all
obligations relating to this Indenture have been paid in full and all amounts
owed to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement have been paid in full,
then, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the written request of the Issuer,
release all liens and assign to Issuer (without recourse, representation or
warranty) all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to the
Collateral, and all proceeds thereof. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee
shall
execute and deliver such instruments of assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be reasonably requested by the
Issuer to release the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral.

Noteholders;
(v) to
modify
transfer restrictions on the Notes, so long as any such modifications comply

of
any such amendment or supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained. So long as any of
the
Notes are outstanding, at the cost of the Issuer, the Trustee shall provide
to
the Insurer and each Rating Agency then rating any Notes a copy of any proposed
amendment or supplemental indenture prior to the execution
113
thereof
by the Trustee and, as soon as practicable after the execution by the Issuer,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of any such amendment or
supplemental indenture, provide to the Insurer and each Rating Agency a copy
of
the executed amendment or supplemental indenture, as the case may
be.
(b) Amendments
and Supplemental Indentures With Consent of the Noteholders.
With
the consent of (A) the Insurer, if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing or (B) during the continuation of an Insurer Default the
Majority Holders and upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, the
Issuer, the Servicer and the Trustee may enter into an amendment or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing
in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture, or modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture;
provided
that, so
long as the Interest Rate Swap is in effect, no such amendment or supplemental
indenture shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Swap
Counterparty if the effect of such amendment or supplement would be to adversely
affect the Swap Counterparty’s ability or right to receive payment under the
terms of the Interest Rate Swap, or if the amendment or supplemental indenture
would modify the obligations of or impair the ability of the Issuer to fully
perform any of its payment obligations under the Interest Rate
Swap.
No
such
amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Insurer,
each affected Noteholder and the Swap Counterparty, to the extent such amendment
or supplemental indenture would adversely affect any of the Swap Counterparty’s
rights or obligations, or impair the ability of the Issuer to fully perform
any
of its obligations, under the Interest Rate Swap for so long as the Interest
Rate Swap has not been terminated:
(i) reduce
in
any manner the amount of, or change the timing of, principal, interest and
other
payments required to be made on any Note;
(ii) change
the application of proceeds of any Collateral to the payment of Notes of such
Series;
(iii) reduce
the percentage of Noteholders required to take or approve any action under
this
Indenture; or
(iv) permit
the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this
Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or terminate the lien
of
this Indenture on any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the
Noteholders of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture.
It
shall
not be necessary in connection with any consent of the Noteholders under this
Section 15.1(b) for the Noteholders to approve the specific form of any proposed
amendment or supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. The Trustee will not be permitted to enter
into any such supplemental indenture or unless the Rating Agency Condition
is
met.
Promptly
after the execution by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the
Servicer of any amendment or supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section
15.1(b), the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer shall mail to the
Noteholders, the Insurer, the Luxembourg
114
Stock
Exchange (if and for so long as any Class of Notes is listed thereon) and each
Rating Agency rating any of the Notes, a copy thereof.
(c) Execution
of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures.
In
executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any amendment or
supplemental indenture permitted by this Section 15.1 or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and (subject to Sections 13.1 and 13.2) shall be fully protected
in
relying in good faith upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution
of
such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and that all conditions precedent applicable thereto under this
Indenture have been satisfied. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to,
enter into any such amendment or supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.
(d) Effect
of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures.
Upon
the execution of any amendment or supplemental indenture under this Section
15.1, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
amendment or supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for
all
purposes; and every Holder of a Note theretofore and thereafter authenticated
and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.
(e) Reference
in Notes to Amendments and Supplemental Indentures.
Notes
executed, authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment
or
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 15.1 may, and if required by
the
Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such amendment or supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall
so
determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Trustee
and the Issuer to any such amendment or supplemental indenture, may be prepared
and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or
the
Authentication Agent in exchange for outstanding Notes.
(f) In
determining whether the requisite percentage of Noteholders have concurred
in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or an Affiliate
of
the Issuer shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making
such determination or relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows pursuant to written
notice (or in the case of the Issuer, by reference to the Note Register if
the
Trustee is also the Note Registrar) are so owned shall be so
disregarded.
Section
15.2 Discretion
with Respect to Derivative Financial Instruments.
The
parties to this Indenture recognize and agree that, in the course of managing
its assets and obligations, the Issuer may, from time to time, find it useful
and prudent to enter into, or to terminate or modify, derivative financial
instruments for the purpose of hedging its interest rate risk, and the parties
hereby agree that, (a) in addition to the Interest Rate Swap, the Issuer
may, from time to time, enter into derivative financial instruments for the
purpose of hedging the Issuer’s interest rate risk and (b) the Issuer may,
in its discretion, terminate, or modify, any such derivative financial
instrument; provided
that the
Issuer shall not terminate or modify the Interest Rate Swap except as provided
in this Indenture and solely in accordance with the appropriate mechanism(s)
as
set forth in the Interest Rate Swap, and, with respect to any derivative
financial instruments, other than the Interest Rate Swap, the Issuer shall
not
enter into any such
115
instruments
unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
derivative financial instrument; provided further,
however,
that,
so long as the Interest Rate Swap is in effect, (x) no instrument shall be
entered into pursuant to clause (a) above and (y) no termination (or
modification) shall be effected pursuant to clause (b) above, without the prior
written consent of the Swap Counterparty if the effect of such instrument,
termination (or modification) would be to adversely affect the Swap
Counterparty’s ability or right to receive payment under the terms of the
Interest Rate Swap, or if the instrument, termination (or modification) would
modify the obligations of or impair the ability of the Issuer to fully perform
any of its payment obligations under the Interest Rate Swap; and provided further,
however,
that
any termination, modification or replacement with respect to the Interest Rate
Swap effected otherwise in accordance with this Indenture and the appropriate
mechanism(s) as set forth in the Interest Rate Swap shall not be subject to
the
provisions of this Section 15.2.
Section
15.3 Limitation
on Rights of the Noteholders.
(a) The
death
or incapacity of any Noteholder shall not operate to terminate this Indenture,
nor shall such death or incapacity entitle such Noteholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Collateral, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the
parties hereto or any of them.
(b) Nothing
herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Notes, shall be construed
so
as to constitute the Noteholders from time to time as partners or members of
an
association; nor shall any Noteholder be under any liability to any third person
by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Indenture pursuant to
any
provision hereof.
Section
15.4 Governing
Law.
