2.1 The Inventory Loan. Upon and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall make the following Advances under the Inventory Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall borrow from Lender the amount of such Advances subject to Lender's Lien pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(a)Closing Date Advance. If requested by Borrower, Lender shall make an Advance on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the product of (i) $6.75, (ii) 90% and (iii) the aggregate Defaulted VOPs represented by, evidencing or securing the Defaulted Receivables purchased by Borrower on the Closing Date pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.
(b)Quarterly Advances. Lender shall make an Advance on each quarterly Repurchase Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the product of (i) $6.75, (ii) 90% and (iii) the aggregate Defaulted VOPs represented by, evidencing or securing the Defaulted Receivables purchased by Borrower on such Repurchase Date pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.
(c)No Obligation to Repurchase Absent Advance. Lender and Borrower agree that Borrower has no obligation to repurchase any Defaulted Receivable in the absence of an Advance to finance such repurchase.
2.2 Use of Proceeds; Netting of Advances.
(a) Borrower agrees to use the proceeds of Advances under the Inventory Loan solely to acquire Defaulted Receivables from Lender pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement. If Borrower uses any proceeds of Advances under the Inventory Loan for purposes not permitted under this Agreement, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances under the Inventory Loan. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, if Lender declines to make an Advance requested by Borrower, Borrower shall not be obligated to purchase the related Vacation Ownership Points associated with an Defaulted Receivable, absent such Advance.
(b) It is understood and agreed that because Lender is providing seller financing for Borrower's purchase of Defaulted Receivables from Lender, all Advances shall be netted against the total purchase price of the Defaulted Receivables being purchased on the applicable Repurchase Date, and Lender shall have no obligation to provide Borrower with any cash advance or other cash proceeds in respect of any Advance. Any reference herein to the “proceeds” of an Advance shall be to the deemed proceeds of such Advance, not to actual cash proceeds.
2.3 Evidence of Indebtedness; Note.
14
(a) Book Entry; Inventory Loan Note. The Inventory Loan made by Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by Lender, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the aggregate amount of the Loan made by Lender to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Inventory Loan. At closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an Inventory Loan Note payable to Lender, which shall evidence the Loan in addition to such accounts or records.
(b) Use of Register. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.3(a), Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, accounts or records and entries in the Register evidencing any assignments or participations in the Loan. Entries made in good faith by Lender in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.3(a) and (b) shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to Lender and under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.4 Amounts in Excess of Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, Borrower shall not be entitled to, and Lender shall have no obligation to make, any Advance under the Inventory Loan which would cause the outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan to exceed the Borrowing Base (taking into account the Vacation Ownership Points to be included in the Pledged Inventory on the applicable Repurchase Date). Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund amounts in excess of the Borrowing Base from time to time to pay accrued and unpaid interest, to pay fees due under the Loan Documents (including late charges pursuant to Section 2.7), to pay Loan Costs (including pursuant to Section 2.8) or indemnification obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, or to correct or cure any Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the correcting or curing by Lender of an Event of Default shall not cure the Event of Default under this Agreement. Such excess amounts funded by Lender shall be deemed evidenced by the Inventory Loan Note, to the fullest extent possible, and then by this Agreement, shall bear interest at the Inventory Loan Interest Rate and shall also be secured by the Inventory Collateral and the other Loan Documents. All of the excess amounts described above are not refundable in whole or in part.
2.5 Interest.
(a) Accrual of Interest. The outstanding principal balance of each Inventory Loan Tranche included in the Inventory Loan shall bear interest in arrears at the Inventory Loan Interest Rate. All of such interest shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 2.6(a). The outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan Tranche shall bear interest as of the date of the related Advance through Lender's receipt of repayment of such Inventory Loan Tranche. If any payment is received by Lender later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, then interest accrual shall be through the next Business Day following such receipt. Interest shall accrue on all sums otherwise payable by Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time thereafter, or after the applicable Inventory Loan Maturity Date, at Lender's sole election, at the Default Rate. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Default Rate is reasonable in light of the increased risk of collection after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Any judgment obtained by Lender for any Obligations of Borrower with respect to the Inventory Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid.
(b) Actual/360. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and charged upon the actual number of days elapsed.
2.6 Payments.
(a) Inventory Loan. Borrower agrees punctually to pay or cause to be paid to
15
Lender when due all principal and interest due in respect of the Inventory Loan and all other Obligations related to the Inventory Loan or provided for under the Loan Documents. Borrower agrees to make the following payments on the Inventory Loan:
(i)Interest. Interest only on the outstanding principal balance of each Inventory Loan Tranche shall accrue and is payable quarterly on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in each of January, April, July and October for the term of the Inventory Loan.
(ii)Principal.
(A)Payment in Full at Maturity. The outstanding principal balance of each Inventory Loan Tranche, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due in connection therewith shall be payable in full, if not, earlier paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, on the applicable Inventory Loan Maturity Date.
(B)Mandatory Monthly Amortization. On each Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender an amount equal to the aggregate Monthly Amortization Payments due and owing in respect of each Inventory Loan Tranche for which the Monthly Amortization Period has commenced.
(C)Borrowing Base Shortfall Payments. On each Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender the amount of any Borrowing Base Shortfall as a mandatory prepayment of the related Inventory Loan Tranche.
(iii)Voluntary Prepayment of Inventory Loan. Borrower may prepay any Inventory Loan Tranche, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. In connection therewith, Borrower may pay, as Per Point Release Fees for any Inventory Loan Tranche, an amount in excess of the principal otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) in respect of such Inventory Loan Tranche.
(b) Application of Payments. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and continues uncured, all payments received by Lender with respect to the Inventory Loan shall be applied by Lender to the Obligations in the following order: (a) to the payment of Loan Costs, late charges, reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations then due and payable or otherwise then owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, (b) to the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Inventory Loan, and (c) to the reduction of the principal balance of the Inventory Loan (such amounts to be applied to each Inventory Loan Tranche pro rata based upon the amounts then due and payable with respect thereto on the applicable Monthly Payment Date). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and while such Event of Default continues uncured, such payments received by Lender may be applied by Lender to the Obligations in such order of priority and in such amounts as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
2.7 Late Charge. In the event that any payment required hereunder is not received by Lender within five (5) days after the due date, Lender may charge Borrower a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such past due payment to defray the expenses incident to handling such delinquent payments, and to compensate Lender for the harm and damages related to such late payments. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that such late charges are reasonable in light of the anticipated and the actual harm caused by the late payments; the difficulties of proof of loss, harm and damages; and the inconvenience and non-feasibility of Lender otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. Borrower agrees that such late charges are imposed as reasonable liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
2.8 Loan Costs. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender all Loan Costs upon notice from Lender that any such Loan Costs are due and payable. If Borrower fails to pay any of such Loan Costs, Lender may at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender immediately for such amount with interest accruing on such amount at the Default Rate for the Inventory Loan until paid. All Loan Costs and all other sums which Borrower is required to reimburse Lender shall be included as part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Inventory Collateral. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
16
2.9 Limitation on Interest; Usury Savings Clause. Lender and Borrower intend to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. All agreements between Lender and Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Loan or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof of the Inventory Loan Note or of any other Loan Documents shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if from any circumstance Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of or the Inventory Loan and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Inventory Loan, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the interest on the Inventory Loan for such full period shall not exceed the highest lawful rate. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payment under the Loan Documents exceeds the highest lawful rate, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically described in the Loan Documents as “interest”) including without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges, shall to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest. Lender hereby expressly disclaims any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the highest lawful rate. The provisions of this Agreement, the Inventory Loan Note, and all other Loan Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform with the limitations and provisions of this Section 2.9, and this Section shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement now or hereafter existing. This Section 2.9 shall never be superseded or waived unless there is a written document executed by Lender and Borrower, expressly declaring the usury limitation of this Agreement to be null and void, and no other method or language shall be effective to supersede or waive this paragraph.
2.10 Reinstatement of Obligations and Liens. Borrower agrees that, to the extent any payment or payments are made on any Obligations and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the Obligations or any part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made, and the Liens in favor of Lender encumbering the Collateral shall continue to secure such revived and reinstated Obligations.
3.Collateral.
3.1 Grant of Lien. To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, for value received, Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, pledges and grants to Lender a continuing first priority Lien against the Inventory Collateral.
3.2 [Reserved].
3.3 General and Continuing Lien. All Liens against the Inventory Collateral in favor of Lender shall be first priority Liens. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of New York. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of New York, all at Lender's sole election. Subject to the release provisions in Sections 3.4 and 3.5 herein, the above-described Liens shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been fully and finally paid, performed and satisfied.
3.4 Additional Documents and Future Actions. Borrower agrees, at its sole cost, to take such actions and provide Lender from time to time with such agreements, financing statements and additional
17
instruments, documents (including deeds, assignments and mortgages) or information as Lender may in its discretion deem reasonably necessary or advisable to perfect, protect, maintain or enforce its Lien against the Inventory Collateral, to permit Lender to protect or enforce its interest in the Inventory Collateral, or to carry out the terms of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender and any officer of Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take such actions as Lender may deem advisable (i) to protect the Inventory Collateral and its interests thereon and its rights hereunder, to file at Borrower's expense financing statements, and amendments thereto, in those public offices deemed necessary or appropriate by Lender to establish, maintain and protect a continuously perfected Lien against the Inventory Collateral, and (ii) to execute on Borrower's behalf such other documents and notices as Lender may deem advisable from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default to protect the Inventory Collateral and its interests therein and its rights hereunder.
3.5 Release of Inventory Collateral.
(a)Amortization. Upon the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of an Inventory Loan Tranche on any Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall be entitled to release of Vacation Ownership Points comprising a portion of the Pledged Inventory in a number equal to the principal so repaid divided by the Per Point Release Fee; provided, than no Vacation Club Point may be released in part due to any fraction remaining from such calculation.
(b)General Provisions.

3.6 Total Release. In the event that all Obligations are fully satisfied and Lender and all affiliates of Lender have no further obligation to make any Advances to Borrower or to any wholly-owned Affiliate of Borrower, then Lender shall promptly execute and deliver all Releases required to release all of the remaining Pledged Inventory (if any) from the Lien granted hereunder.

5.General Representations, Warranties and Covenants. As an inducement to Lender to make Advances to Borrower, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender and covenants with Lender as follows:
5.1 Organization; Power; Authorization.
(a)Each of Borrower and any DRC Affiliate that is party to a Material Agreement (i) is duly formed and organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, duly licensed, qualified or registered and in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which the character or location of its assets or the business transacted by it requires such licensing, qualification or registration, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) has full power and lawful authority and has been duly authorized by all requisite actions by its owners, officers, partners, directors or other governing Persons, as applicable, to own such assets, to transact such business (as now being conducted or as proposed to be conducted) and to enter into and perform its obligations under all Loan Documents and Material Agreements to which it is a party and without violation of any Governing Documents of such Person.

5.2 Provision of Information. Upon the reasonable request of Lender, Borrower shall provide the following information to Lender (or, to the extent any such information is not within the control of Borrower or any DRC Affiliate, to use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain and provide such information), provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated to incur unreasonable cost or expense in obtaining or providing such information:
(a) Information relating to (i) the identity of all DRC Affiliates involved in the operation or management of the Vacation Club or related Resort Accommodations, and (ii) the ownership of all interests in Borrower.

20
Site and the sales of Vacation Ownership Plans.
(c) True and correct copies (including any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) of (a) the Vacation Club Governing Documents, and (b) to the extent any Material Party is a party, each Management Agreement.
(d) Information enabling Lender to confirm that the number of Vacation Ownership Points appurtenant to all Resort Accommodations dedicated to the Vacation Club and legally conveyed to the Vacation Club Association, as Trustee, equals or exceeds the number of Vacation Ownership Points appurtenant to Vacation Club memberships outstanding at all times (the “One-to-One Ratio"), including details on the Resort Accommodations which make up the Vacation Club and the Vacation Ownership Plans of Members in good standing and available for use on an annual basis.

5.3 Names and Addresses.
(a) Schedule 5.3 sets forth all names currently used by Borrower, together with all business addresses currently used by Borrower, at which any of the Inventory Collateral is located or at which any books and records of Borrower are located.
(b) Borrower shall not change its name or change any location at which it does business, at which any physical Inventory Collateral is located or where any of its books and records are located without at least forty five (45) days' prior written notice to Lender.
5.4 Licenses.
(a) Each of Borrower and any DRC Affiliate that is party to a Material Agreement has all licenses necessary to own its assets, to conduct its business, as now being conducted or as proposed to be conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under all Loan Documents and Material Agreements to which it is a party. All of such licenses are presently in full force and effect with no action or proceeding pending or threatened which challenges or seeks to revoke, terminate or modify any such license.

5.8 Pension Plans. Borrower has no unfunded obligations with respect to any employee pension benefit plan (“Pension Plan”) (as such term is defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)). No events, including, without limitation, any “Reportable Event” or “Prohibited Transaction” (as those terms are defined under ERISA), have occurred in connection with any such Pension Plan which might constitute grounds for the termination of any such Pension Plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or for the appointment of any United States District Court
21
of a trustee to administer any such Pension Plan. All such Pension Plans meet with the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA.
The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under any of the Pension Plans, determined as of the end of such Pension Plan's most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Pension Plan's most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “benefits liabilities” has the meaning specified in Section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meanings specified in Section 3 of ERISA. No Material Party nor any ERISA Affiliates have incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA.

5.9 Financial Statements and Financial Condition. Taken as a whole, all Financial Statements and other information of the financial condition of Borrower given to Lender (i) is complete and correct and does not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements herein or therein not misleading, and (ii) accurately presents the financial condition of Borrower as of the date on which the same have been furnished to Lender.
5.10 Solvency. Borrower is currently solvent.
5.11 Investment Company. Borrower is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and Borrower is not required to register under such Act.
5.12 Enforceability. The Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and any DRC Affiliate who is a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms.
5.13 No Defaults.
(a) No Default or Event of Default with respect to the Loan Documents currently exists. Borrower is not in default in any material respect under any of its Governing Documents, under any obligation for borrowed money or under any other agreement which may materially and adversely affect Borrower or its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or Material Agreements to which it is a party.
(b) Borrower shall perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and shall take all actions necessary (which are not prohibited by law) to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default.
5.14 Use of Proceeds/Margin Stock. None of the proceeds of the Inventory Loan shall be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as in effect from time to time), and no portion of the proceeds of the Inventory Loan shall be extended to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. None of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the Inventory Loan) will violate or result in the violation of Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Regulations G, T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R., Chapter 11.
5.15 Labor Relations. The employees of Borrower are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement with Borrower, and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no material grievances, disputes or controversies with any union or any other organization of Borrower's employees, or threats of strikes, work stoppages or any asserted pending demands for collective bargaining by any union or organization.
5.16 Broker's Fees.
(a) Lender and Borrower represent to each other that neither of them has made any commitment or taken any action which will result in a claim for any brokers, finder's or other similar fees with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
22
that neither Borrower or Lender is, and shall not be, liable for any fees or expenses of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx incurred in connection with the formulation or approval of the Section 363 Sale (Diamond), Section 363 Sale (RFA) or any other transactions as contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay all of such fees payable to any broker or finder hired by Borrower and agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any claims by such finders or brokers or by any other Person claiming such fees as a result of any commitment or action of Borrower.
5.17 Inspections. Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time and at the reasonable expense of Borrower and with reasonable notice from Lender, permit Lender or its agents or representatives to inspect the Inventory Collateral and Borrower's books and records pertaining thereto, and Borrower's assets or property, and to audit, examine and make copies of and abstracts from such books and records. All audits and inspections from after the Closing Date shall be at Borrower's reasonable expense, including all reasonable travel expenses of Lender's employees; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred, only one audit or inspection per calendar year shall be at the expense of Borrower.
5.18 Books and Records. Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records and books of account reflecting all financial transactions of Borrower relating to or otherwise affecting the Pledged Inventory, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP.

(a)Acceleration. Without demand or notice of any nature whatsoever, declare the Obligations, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due and payable, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs under Section 8.5 or 8.6, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without further action.

(d)Sale of Inventory Collateral. After notification, if any, provided for in Section 9.3, sell or otherwise dispose of, at the office of Lender, or elsewhere, as chosen by Lender, all or any part of the Inventory Collateral, and any such sale or other disposition may be as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Inventory Collateral shall not exhaust Lender's power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until all of the Inventory Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations, have been paid in full and fully performed), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit the Inventory Collateral. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that a private sale or sales of the Inventory Collateral, after notification as provided for in Section 9.3, shall constitute a commercially reasonable disposition of the Inventory Collateral sold at any such sale or sales, and otherwise, commercially reasonable action on the part of Lender.
(e)Retention of Collateral/Purchase of Inventory Collateral. At its discretion, retain such portion of the Inventory Collateral as shall aggregate in value to an amount equal to all or part of the outstanding Obligations, in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, whenever the circumstances are such that Lender is entitled and elects to do so under applicable law. Lender may also buy the Inventory Collateral or any part thereof at any public or private sale.
(f)Receiver. As a matter of strict right and without regard to the value or occupancy of the Inventory Collateral, apply by appropriate procedures for the appointment of a receiver who will take possession of the Inventory Collateral, collect the proceeds and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct. The receiver shall have all the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state in which the Inventory Collateral is located. All costs and expenses (including receiver's fees, attorney's fees and costs, including attorneys' fees and costs incurred as a result of any appeal, and agents compensation) incurred in connection with the appointment of a receiver shall be secured by the Inventory Collateral. The right to take possession of the Inventory Collateral, to manage and operate the same and to collect the proceeds and profits thereof (whether by a receiver or otherwise) shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law and may be exercised by Lender concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Lender shall be liable to account only for such proceeds and profit actually received by Lender. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, trustee or other custodian, Lender shall be entitled, as pledgee, to the possession or control of any cash or other instruments, at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to Lender. Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment. Lender may also apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Inventory Collateral, or any part thereof, and Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment.
(g)Exercise of Uniform Commercial Code and Other Rights. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled, and may exercise any and all other rights or remedies afforded by the Loan Documents as Lender shall deem appropriate, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the right to bring suit or other proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in the Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right or remedy granted to Lender in the Loan Documents. Lender shall also have the right to require Borrower to assemble any of the Inventory Collateral not in Lender's possession, at Borrower's expense, and make it available to Lender at a place to be determined by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and Lender shall have the right to take immediate possession of all of the Inventory Collateral.
(h)Power of Attorney. Exercise Lender's rights under powers of attorney granted to it including the power of attorney referenced in Section 10.9.
9.3 Sale of Inventory Collateral. Reasonable notification of time and place of any public sale of the Inventory Collateral or reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Inventory Collateral is to be made shall be sent to Borrower and to any other person entitled under the Uniform Commercial Code to notice; provided, however, that if the Inventory
28
Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender may sell or otherwise dispose of the Inventory Collateral without notification, advertisement or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which such notice relates is reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this Section 9.3. Lender shall have the right to bid at any public or private sale on its own behalf. Out of money arising from any such sale, Lender shall retain an amount equal to all costs and charges, including attorneys' fees for advice, counsel or other legal services or for pursuing, reclaiming, seeking to reclaim, taking and advertising such Inventory Collateral for sale, selling same and any and all other charges and expenses in connection therewith and in satisfying any prior Liens thereon. Any balance shall be applied to the Obligations, and in the event of deficiency, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender. In the event of any surplus, such surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to such other Persons as may be legally entitled to such surplus.
In connection with the disposition of any Inventory Collateral by or on behalf of Lender, Borrower agrees that Lender may disclaim any warranties and dispose of such Inventory Collateral without any warranties whatsoever and that Lender shall not be deemed to have acted in a commercially unreasonable manner as a result thereof. If Lender sells any of the Inventory Collateral upon credit, Borrower shall be credited with the full sale price, to the extent that payments thereof are actually received by Lender with respect to such sale. If the buyer at such sale fails to pay in full for any of the Inventory Collateral, Lender may resell such Inventory Collateral.
9.4 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds from any sale or realization upon any of the Inventory Collateral after an Event of Default shall be applied or paid over as follows: (a) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sale or realization, (b) second, to payment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect in its sole discretion with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency, and (c) third, the balance (if any), subject to any duty or requirement of any applicable Legal Requirements, to whomsoever is legally entitled thereto.
9.5 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may execute any of its duties and/or exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or other representatives.
9.6 Lender Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall give Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of Borrower.
9.7 Rights of Lender Regarding Inventory Collateral. In addition to all other rights possessed by Lender, Lender, at its option, may from time to time after there shall have occurred an Event of Default, and so long as such Event of Default remains uncured, at its sole discretion, take the following actions:
(a) Upon foreclosure, transfer all or any part of the Inventory Collateral into the name of Lender or its nominee; and
(b) Extend or renew the Inventory Loan and grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any portion thereof, any extension or renewal thereof, or any security therefor, to any obligor hereunder or thereunder.
9.8 Waivers.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Lender, if Lender: (i) grants any forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured by the Inventory Collateral; (ii) takes other, additional or substitute Inventory Collateral or
29
security for the Obligations; (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in this Agreement or any Loan Documents; (iv) alters, substitutes or releases any part of the Inventory Collateral from the Lien in favor of Lender or otherwise changes any of the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Documents; (v) releases any Person liable for the payment of any part of the Obligations; (vi) extends the time for payment or otherwise alters the payment terms of the Obligations; or (vii) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating Lender's Lien against any of the Inventory Collateral, any such act or omission by Lender shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect Borrower's original liability under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise, nor shall any such act or omission preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege granted in this Agreement or any Loan Document in the event of any other concurrent or subsequent default, nor shall Lender's Lien against any of the Inventory Collateral be altered thereby.
(c) Upon the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Inventory Collateral, Lender, without further notice, is authorized and empowered to deal with any such transferee as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with Borrower, without in any way waiving, releasing or discharging any of Borrower's liabilities or obligations hereunder.
(d) No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in giving or insisting upon strict performance by Borrower or any DRC Affiliate that is party to a Loan Document, or in giving notice hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other power or right, and no single or partial exercise of any such power or right shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or right. Lender, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be performed by Borrower or any Material Party. The collection and application of proceeds, the taking possession of the Inventory Collateral, and the exercise of the rights of Lender contained in the Loan Documents and this Agreement shall not cure or waive any default, or affect any notice of default, or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. No waiver by Lender of any breach or default of or by any party hereunder shall be deemed to alter or affect Lender's rights hereunder with respect to any prior or subsequent Default or Event of Default.
(e) BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL NOTICES (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREUNDER) WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, SUITS, COSTS AND EXPENSES, AND ALL OTHER DEMANDS WHATSOEVER HEREBY INDEMNIFIED, AND AGREES THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE AFFECTED BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WHETHER OR NOT REFERRED TO ABOVE, WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE CONSTITUTE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE DISCHARGES OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
(f) IF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SHOULD DETERMINE THAT BORROWER IS ENTITLED TO RECOVER DAMAGES FROM LENDER FOR ANY REASON OR UPON ANY CAUSE, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVENTORY LOAN OR THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED FOR OR CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER STIPULATES AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES SHALL NOT INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT THE FOREGOING PROVISION IS NOT ENFORCED BY THE COURTS, THEN BORROWER AGREES THAT BORROWER'S SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CAUSE, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM WILL BE TO RECOVER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO ITS REASONABLE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVENTORY LOAN AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
9.9 Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, whether or not the Inventory Loan is due and payable and
30
whether or not Lender shall have instituted any suit for collection or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.
9.10 Diminution in Value of Collateral. Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution or loss in value of any of the Inventory Collateral, specifically including that which may arise from Lender's negligence or inadvertence, whether such negligence or inadvertence is the sole or concurring cause of any damage.
9.11 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Lender proceeds to enforce any right or remedy under the Loan Documents by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding occurred.
9.12 Indemnification of Lender Parties. In addition to (and not in lieu of) any other provisions of any Loan Document providing for indemnification in favor of Lender, Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Lender Parties, from and against, and promptly pay on demand or reimburse each of them with respect to, any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs), actions or causes of action of any and every kind or nature whatsoever asserted against or incurred by any of them by reason of or arising out of or in any way related or attributable to: (a) any failure or alleged failure of Borrower to perform any of its covenants or obligations with respect to any Component Site or to the Purchasers of any of the Inventory Collateral or any incorrectness or inaccuracy of any representation or warranties to any Purchaser; (b) the construction, development or operation of any Component Site; (c) the debtor-creditor relationships between Borrower on the one hand, and the Purchasers or Lender or its participants, as the case may be, on the other; (d) the sale of Vacation Ownership Plans; (e) Borrower's performance under or related to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Inventory Collateral; (f) the transactions contemplated under any of the Loan Documents or any of the Material Agreements, including without limitation, those in any way relating to or arising out of the violation of any applicable Legal Requirements; (g) any breach of any covenant or agreement or the incorrectness or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (including without limitation any certification delivered to Lender); and (h) any and all Taxes (excluding any Taxes that are subject to reimbursement obligations of Lender under the Reimbursement Agreement), and any and all fees or charges to be paid by Borrower including, without limitation under any Legal Requirements, which may at any time arise or become due prior to the payment, performance and discharge in full of the Obligations. Such indemnification shall not give Borrower any right to participate in the selection of counsel for Lender or the conduct or settlement of any dispute or proceeding for which indemnification may be claimed. The indemnity provisions in this Section 9.12 shall survive the satisfaction of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement, and remain binding and enforceable against Borrower, together with its successors and assigns, in perpetuity.
The obligations of Borrower to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lender harmless as provided in this Agreement are absolute, unconditional, present and continuing, and shall not be dependent upon or affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any claim, demand or suit from which Lender is indemnified, except to the extent any such assessments, claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, costs and expenses arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Loan Document, Lender may itself perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement, and the sums expended by Lender and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower and be included as part of the Obligations. In no event, however, shall Lender have any obligation or duties whatsoever to perform any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and any such performance by Lender shall be wholly discretionary with Lender. The performance by Lender, of any agreement or covenant of Borrower on any occasion shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Lender to perform any such agreements or covenants on any other occasion or at any time. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall not at any time or under any circumstances whatsoever have any duty to Borrower or to any third party to exercise any of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder.
10.4 No Liability of Lender. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement by Lender, nor the exercise of any rights hereunder by Lender, shall be construed in any way as an assumption by Lender of any obligations, responsibilities or duties of Borrower arising in connection with the Inventory Collateral, under any Legal Requirements, or under any of the Material Agreements, or in connection with any other business of Borrower or any Material Party, or the Inventory Collateral, or otherwise bind Lender to the performance of any obligations with respect to any Component Site or the Inventory Collateral; it being expressly understood that Lender shall not be obligated to perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of Borrower or any Material Party with respect to any of the Inventory Collateral, under any Legal Requirements or under any of the Material Agreements, including, but not limited to, appearing in or defending any action, expending any money or incurring any expense in connection therewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither this Agreement, any action or actions on the part of Lender taken hereunder, shall constitute an assumption by Lender of any obligations of Borrower with respect to the Inventory Collateral, or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations thereunder or with respect thereto.
10.5 Right to Defend Action Affecting Security. Lender may, at Borrower's expense, appear in and defend any action or proceeding at law or in equity which Lender in good faith believes may affect the value of the Inventory Collateral or the Liens granted under this Agreement, including without limitation Lender's rights under any of the Loan Documents. Lender may engage counsel of its own choice in any such action or proceeding without the consent of Borrower and Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

All assignees, participants and transferees shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The consent of Borrower shall not be required for any such assignment, participation or transfer and failure to give notice of any assignment, participation or transfer shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Loan Document, or subject Lender to any liability; provided, that Lender shall promptly provide Borrower with written notice of any such assignment or transfer. Borrower consents to the dissemination of information regarding the Obligations, the Inventory Loan, Borrower, Borrower's business, and all matters related hereto in connection with any assignment, participation or sale.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent of its pro rata share in the Loan, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
