the Seller hereby sells (“Sells,”

together with the Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed

hereunder due on and after the Initial Cut-Off Date within two (2) Business
Days
of the receipt thereof.
(ii) The

hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of
any
interest whatsoever by the Seller.
(b)
[Intentionally
Omitted].
(c)
Delivery
of Timeshare Loan Documents.
In
connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare
Loans hereunder, the Purchaser hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby
agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securitization Custodian
all
related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan
Servicing Files.
(d)

The
Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of

the
related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account.
(e)
Limitation
of Liability.
Neither
the Purchaser nor any subsequent assignee
of
the
Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare
Loan nor shall the Purchaser or any subsequent assignee have any liability
to
any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability
is
intended to be assumed by the Purchaser, the Seller or any subsequent assignee
herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.
(f)

The

Such Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price shall be paid by means of an immediate
cash payment to the Seller by wire transfer on the applicable conveyance date
to
an account designated by the Seller on or before such conveyance date.
(g)
Schedule
of Timeshare Loans.
Upon
the Seller’s Sale of the Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security
and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral to the
Purchaser, the Seller shall deliver a Schedule of Timeshare Loans, Timeshare
Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and
additional collateral, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule
III
and made
a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede any prior schedules
so
delivered.
SECTION
3. Intended
Characterization, Grant of Security Interest.
It is
the intention of the parties hereto that the transfers of Timeshare Loans to
be
made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale and an absolute
assignment by the Seller to the Purchaser and not a loan secured by the
Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction
were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale, it is
the
intention of the parties hereto that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted
and does hereby grant to the Purchaser as of the date hereof a first priority
perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to
and under the Transferred Assets specified in Section 2 hereof and that with
respect to such conveyance, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law. In the event of the characterization of any such transfer
as a loan, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan
under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall
not
exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable
state
law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum
non-usurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully
be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest
Lawful Rate”).
In
the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful
Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the
term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect
to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the
provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any
new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit
the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b)
to
the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts
collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof
described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the
term
of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect
to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon
notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the
recipient thereof.
The
characterization of the Seller as “debtor” and the Purchaser as “secured party”
in any financing statement required hereunder is solely for protective purposes
and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties
that this transaction be treated as a sale to the Purchaser of such Seller’s
entire right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets.
Each
of
the Seller, the Purchaser and any of their Affiliates hereby agrees to make
the
appropriate entries in its general accounting records and to indicate that
the
Timeshare Loans have been transferred to the Purchaser.
SECTION
4. Conditions

The
obligations of the Purchaser to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall

“Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loan”
and
each of the conditions herein and in the Securitization Indenture for

(b)
The
obligations of each of the Seller and the Servicer under this Section 8 to

SECTION
11. No
Waiver; Remedies.
No
failure on the part of the Purchaser, the Securitization Indenture Trustee
or
any assignee thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
SECTION
12. Binding
Effect; Assignability.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, the
Servicer, the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns. Any
assignee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled
to directly enforce this Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Servicer may
not
assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and any assignee thereof.
The
Purchaser may, and intends to, assign all of its rights to the Securitization
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders, and each of
the
Seller and the Servicer consents to any such assignments. This Agreement shall
create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until
its
termination; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to
any
breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller or the Servicer
pursuant to Section 5, and the cure, repurchase or substitution and
indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or termination of the Servicer
pursuant to the Securitization Indenture, but such rights and remedies may
be
enforced only by the Purchaser and the Securitization Indenture
Trustee.
SECTION
13. Amendments;
Consents and Waivers.
No
modification, amendment or waiver of, or with respect to, any provision of
this
Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and documents delivered
thereto, nor consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer from any
of
the terms or conditions thereof shall be effective unless it shall be in writing
and signed by each of the parties hereto, the written consent of the
Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders
is
given and confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result
in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned to a Class
of
Notes is received. The Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Securitization Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies any such proposed
modifications, amendments or waivers. Any waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No consent
to
or demand by the Seller or Servicer in any case shall, in itself, entitle it
to
any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Each of the Seller and the Servicer acknowledges that in connection with the
intended assignment by the Purchaser of all of its right, title and interest
in
and to each Timeshare Loan to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf
of
the Securitization Noteholders, the Purchaser intends to issue the Notes, the
proceeds of which will be used by the Purchaser, in part, to purchase the
Timeshare Loans hereunder.
SECTION
14. Severability.
In case
any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal
or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability
of
the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a
Governmental Authority determines that the Purchaser may not purchase or acquire
Timeshare Loans, the transactions evidenced hereby shall constitute a loan
and
not a purchase and sale, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable intent of
the
parties hereto, and the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser
as of the date hereof, a first priority perfected security interest in all
of
the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Timeshare Loans and
the related property as described in Section 2 hereof.
