ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
OF GENERAL APPLICATION
Section 1.01 General Definitions.
In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the “Standard Definitions” attached hereto as Annex A.
Section 1.02 Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any written application or request (or oral application with prompt written or electronic confirmation) by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, other than any request that (a) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such request, (b) the Indenture Trustee invest moneys in any of the Trust Accounts pursuant to the written directions specified in such request, or (c) the Indenture Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer’s assignee specified in such request, the Indenture Trustee shall require the Issuer to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture and Servicing Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request otherwise is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such requested action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
2
Section 1.03 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows that such Opinion of Counsel with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such officer’s certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer as to such factual matters unless such officer or counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion which shall contain appropriate language permitting reliance on such other counsel’s opinion.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.01(b) hereof.
Whenever in this Indenture and Servicing Agreement it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Potential Event of Default, Event of Default, Potential Servicer Event of Default, Servicer Event of Default, Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such event. For all purposes of
3
this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Servicer Event of Default or Amortization Event nor shall the Indenture Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine whether a Default, an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in Section 6.01(a) hereof), a Servicer Event of Default or an Amortization Event has occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Servicer or any Noteholder.
Section 1.04 Acts of Noteholders, etc.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture and Servicing Agreement to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing, including but not limited to trust agents and administrative agents; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
(d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, each Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder for the benefit of such Noteholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 1.04(d) shall be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement.
4
Section 1.05 Notice to Noteholders; Waiver.
(a) Where this Indenture and Servicing Agreement provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by private courier or confirmed electronically to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders. Where this Indenture and Servicing Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.05(a) hereof, of any event or any report to Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, then such notification or delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
Section 1.06 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and in the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 1.07 Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and Servicing Agreement by each of the parties hereto shall bind its respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 1.08 GOVERNING LAW.
THIS INDENTURE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. UNLESS MADE APPLICABLE IN A SUPPLEMENT HERETO, THIS INDENTURE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL NOT BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.
5
Section 1.09 Legal Holidays.
In any case where any Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement or of the Notes) such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid, provided that no penalty interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Payment Date, Stated Maturity, or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day.
Section 1.10 Execution in Counterparts.
This Indenture and Servicing Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and deemed an original.
Section 1.11 Inspection.
The Issuer agrees that it will permit the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and each Purchaser or their agents or representatives inspection rights in accordance with Section 3.1(l) of the Note Purchase Agreement.
Section 1.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
The representations, warranties and certifications of the Issuer made in this Indenture and Servicing Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of the Notes hereunder.
ARTICLE II
THE NOTES
Section 2.01 General Provisions.
(a) Form of Notes. The Notes shall be designated as the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Owner Trust 2011-1, Timeshare Loan Backed Variable Funding Notes, Series 2011-1. The Notes, together with their certificates of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or are permitted by this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, and may
6
have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may consistently herewith be determined by the officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by such officer’s execution of such Notes.
(b) Denominations. The Outstanding Note Balance of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement shall not exceed the Facility Limit and the outstanding principal amount of a Note held by any single Purchaser Group or any single Non-Conduit Committed Purchaser shall not exceed the then-effective Purchaser Commitment Amount for such Purchaser Group or Non-Conduit Committed Purchaser. The Notes shall be issuable only as registered Notes without interest coupons in the denominations of at least $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the transfer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof of any Note with a remaining Outstanding Note Balance of less than $1,000,000.
(c) Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be issued and delivered to the Noteholders on the Closing Date upon satisfaction of the requirements of the Note Purchase Agreement and this Indenture and Servicing Agreement. The Notes shall be manually executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee. Any Note bearing the signature of an individual who was at the time of execution thereof an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual ceases to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Note or did not hold such office at the date of such Note. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer Order to the Indenture Trustee directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order.
Section 2.02 Definitive Notes. The Notes shall be issued in definitive form only.

Section 2.03 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(a) Note Register. At all times during the term of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Note Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Notes. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for purposes of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The names and addresses of all Noteholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Notes shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name any Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Noteholder thereof for all purposes of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement and the Note Registrar, the Issuer, the
7
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Notes are transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Note to the Note Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.03. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar shall provide the Indenture Trustee with the names and addresses of Noteholders.
(b) Surrender. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note, subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2.03, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in denominations of a like aggregate denomination as the Note being surrendered. Each Note surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Note Registrar. Each new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the applicable provisions of this Section 2.03. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(c) Securities Laws and other Transfer Restrictions. The issuance of the Notes will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. No resale or transfer of any Note may be made unless such resale or transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and an effective registration or a qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification because such resale or transfer is in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person who the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (as defined in Rule 144A) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and to whom notice is given that such resale or transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act as certified by such transferee (unless such transferee is already a Purchaser) in a letter in the form of Exhibit B hereto and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any applicable jurisdiction. None of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Note without registration.
Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, no resale or transfer of any Note may be made to a Direct Competitor without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Servicer. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any obligation to monitor the compliance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) ERISA Considerations. No resale or other transfer of any Note or any interest therein may be made to any purchaser or transferee unless (i) such purchaser or transferee is not, and will not acquire such Note or any interest therein on behalf of or with the assets of, any Benefit Plan or (ii) no “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code that is not subject to a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption and no violation of any substantially similar provision of federal, state or local law will occur in connection with such purchaser’s or such transferee’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such
8
Note or any interest therein. In addition, neither the Notes nor any interest therein may be purchased by or transferred to any Benefit Plan, or person acting on behalf of or with assets of any Benefit Plan, unless it represents that it is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section 3(16)(B) of ERISA) by the Issuer, MORI, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, or by any Affiliate of any such Person.
(e) Transfer Fees, Charges and Taxes. No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Note Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 2.03. The Note Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.
(f) No Obligation to Register. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of such Notes without registration or qualification. Any such Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(g) Rule 144A Information. The Servicer agrees to cause the Issuer and the Issuer agrees to provide such information as required under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so as to allow resales of Notes to Qualified Institutional Buyers in accordance herewith.
(h) Sole Obligation. The Notes represent the sole obligation of the Issuer payable from the Trust Estate and do not represent the obligations of the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Back-Up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Custodian.
(i) Liquidity Providers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Conduit under the terms of its Liquidity Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement may at any time sell or grant to one or more Liquidity Providers party to the Liquidity Agreement or one or more Alternate Purchasers party to the Note Purchase Agreement, participating interests or security interest, as applicable, in the Notes provided that each Liquidity Provider or Alternate Purchaser shall, by any such purchase, be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to the provisions of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
(a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(b) If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
9
harmless then, in the absence of actual notice to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(c) In case the final installment of principal on any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or will at the next Payment Date become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a replacement Note, pay such Note.
(d) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.04, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed as a result of the issuance of such replacement Note.
(e) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.04 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
(f) The provisions of this Section 2.04 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 2.05 Payment of Interest and Principal; Rights Preserved.
(a) Any installment of interest or principal, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by or on behalf of the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by wire transfer of federal funds to the account and number specified in the Note Register, in each case on such Record Date for such Person (which shall be, as to each original Noteholder, the account and number specified in the Note Purchase Agreement) or, if no wire transfer information is available, by check mailed to the address specified in the Note Register.
(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all 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. All payments on the Notes shall be paid without any requirement of presentment, except that each Holder of any Note shall be deemed to agree, by its acceptance of the same, to surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office prior to receipt of payment of the final installment of principal of such Note.
10
Section 2.06 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the registered Noteholder as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not payment on such Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.07 Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or following final payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.07, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture and Servicing Agreement. All canceled Notes held by the Indenture Trustee may be disposed of in the normal course of its business or as directed by an Issuer Order.
Section 2.08 Noteholder Lists.
The Indenture Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. In the event the Indenture Trustee no longer serves as the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days before each Payment Date (and in all events in intervals of not more than six months) and at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders. For so long as Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is acting in the capacity of Indenture Trustee, it shall also be the Note Registrar hereunder.
Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Noteholders of the requisite percentage of the Outstanding Note Balance have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes held or redeemed by the Issuer or held by an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though not Outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

The Issuer shall issue to each Extending Noteholder on the Payment Date immediately following such Facility Termination Date, an Exchange Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Extending Noteholder’s Note (or, in the case of any Extending Noteholder which is extending its Facility Termination Date for an amount less than its entire Purchaser Commitment Amount, the Extended Portion with respect to such Extending Noteholder); provided, however, that if, upon
12
the issuance of the Exchange Notes, the initial aggregate outstanding note balance of the Exchange Notes would not be at least $1,000,000, then the Issuer shall not issue any Exchange Notes and no Facility Termination Date with respect to any Noteholder shall be extended; provided, further, however, that if, upon the issuance of the Exchange Notes, the Outstanding Note Balance for the Notes would be less than $1,000,000, then the Issuer shall prepay the entire Outstanding Note Balance pursuant to Section 10.01 immediately following the issuance of the Exchange Notes.
(b) Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby agrees that if it becomes an Extending Noteholder and the Facility Termination Date occurs with respect to any Noteholder, it will surrender its Note to the Issuer in exchange for an Exchange Note in an equal principal amount (or, in the case of any Extending Noteholder which is extending its Facility Termination Date for an amount less than its entire Purchaser Commitment Amount, the Extended Portion with respect to such Extending Noteholder) on the Payment Date immediately following the Facility Termination Date with respect to the other Non-Extending Noteholders.

(c) None of the parties hereto shall have any right of set-off with respect to any Trust Account, or any investment therein.
(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the amounts in any Trust Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to an Issuer Order in one or more Eligible Investments. Subject to the restrictions on the maturity of investments set forth in Section 3.01(f) hereof, each such Issuer Order may authorize the Indenture Trustee to make the specific Eligible Investments set forth therein, to make Eligible Investments from time to time consistent with the general instructions set forth therein, or to make specific Eligible Investments pursuant to instructions received in writing or by electronic or facsimile transmission from the employees or agents of the Issuer, as the case may be, identified therein, in each case in such amounts as such Issuer Order shall specify.
(e) In the event that either (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions to the Indenture Trustee by 9:30 A.M., New York City time on any Business Day on which there may be uninvested cash or (ii) an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly invest and reinvest the funds then in the designated Trust Account to the fullest extent practicable in those obligations or securities described in clause 5 of the definition of “Eligible Investments”. All investments made by the Indenture Trustee shall mature no later than the maturity date therefor permitted by Section 3.01(f) hereof.
(f) No investment of any amount held in any Trust Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date which is scheduled to occur immediately following the date of investment.

(iii) the proceeds of any sale of an investment shall be remitted by the purchaser thereof directly to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the account in which such investment was held; provided that no such sale may occur on any day other than the Business Day immediately preceding a Payment Date (for the avoidance of doubt, any full or partial liquidation of an investment in a money market fund is not subject to the foregoing date restriction); and
(iv) during the continuance of a Potential Event of Default, Event of Default, Potential Amortization Event, Amortization Event, Potential Servicer Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default, neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates may exercise any voting rights with respect to an investment.
(h) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Trust Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not collected and available therein to make such disbursement, in the absence of an Issuer Order for the liquidation of investments held therein in an amount sufficient to provide the required funds, the Indenture Trustee shall select and cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account.
(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Trust Account resulting from losses on investments made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.01 including, but not limited to, losses resulting from the sale or depreciation in the market value of such investments (but the institution serving as Indenture Trustee shall at all times remain liable for its own obligations, if any, constituting part of such investments). The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any investment made by it in accordance with this Section 3.01 on the grounds that it could have made a more favorable investment or a more favorable selection for sale of an investment.
(j) Each party hereto agrees that each of the Trust Accounts constitutes a “securities account” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and in such capacity Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall be acting as a “securities intermediary” within the meaning of 8-102 of the UCC and that, regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, the State of New York shall be deemed to be the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” under Section 8-110 of the UCC. The Indenture Trustee shall be the “entitlement holder” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC with respect to the Trust Accounts.

Each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to each Trust Account shall be treated as a
15
“financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to each Trust Account shall be registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee or indorsed to the Indenture Trustee or in blank and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or specially indorsed to the Issuer. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall have no right to close, make withdrawals from, or give disbursement directions with respect to, or receive distributions from, the Collection Account except in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof.
(k) In the event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as securities intermediary, has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Trust Accounts or any security entitlement credited thereto, it hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest created by this Indenture and Servicing Agreement and that the Indenture Trustee’s rights to the funds on deposit therein shall be subject to Section 3.04 hereof.

The Servicer is authorized to, and the Servicer hereby agrees to, segregate collections therein and direct the Control Account Bank to initiate electronic transfer of all funds therein that relate to the Timeshare Loans owned by the Issuer to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt (or, if initially there is insufficient information to determine to which timeshare loan any funds relate, within two Business Days of obtaining sufficient information). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may, or upon the direction of the Administrative Agent or Majority Facility Investors, shall, deliver a notice of an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default to the Agent (as defined in the Control Account Intercreditor Agreement) and request that the Agent deliver a shifting control notice to the Control Account Bank whereupon the Servicer shall no longer be authorized to give any direction to the Control Account Bank or have access of any kind to the Control Account. The Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default, as the Issuer’s attorney-in-fact, to endorse any item deposited in the Control Account, or presented for deposit in the Control Account or the Collection Account, requiring the endorsement of the Issuer, which authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

If, at any time, the Hedge Collateral Account ceases to be an Eligible Bank Account, the Indenture Trustee shall within two Business Days establish a new Hedge Collateral Account which shall be an Eligible Bank Account, transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Hedge Collateral Account and from the date such new Hedge Collateral Account is established, it shall be the “Hedge Collateral Account.” Amounts on deposit in the Hedge Collateral Account shall be invested in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof and in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement and in the event of any conflict regarding eligible investments, the provisions of the related Hedge Agreement shall prevail. Deposits and withdrawals to and from the Hedge Collateral Account shall be made in accordance with the Hedge Agreements.
Section 3.03 Hedge Agreement.
(a) The Issuer shall, at all times, so long as the Notes remain unpaid, provide Hedge Agreements in accordance with the terms described below in this Section 3.03. The Hedge Agreements shall meet the following requirements (the “Hedge Requirements”):
(i) each Hedge Agreement shall either be in the form of an interest rate cap or an interest rate swap, or a combination thereof, in each case between the Issuer and a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, with an effective date on or prior to a Funding Date;
(ii) the Hedge Agreements shall provide for a notional amount at least equal to, in the aggregate, 90% of the Outstanding Note Balance as of the Initial Funding Date and such notional amount shall amortize on a monthly basis in accordance with the Hedge Amortization Schedule;
(iii) the Issuer shall, as of each Funding Date, cause the notional amount of the Hedge Agreements to be adjusted or enter into new Hedge Agreements to reflect any increase in the Outstanding Note Balance as of such Funding Date so that the adjusted notional amount of the Hedge Agreements shall on such Funding Date (after giving effect to the Increase on such date) be an amount at least equal to 90% of the Outstanding Note Balance and such notional amount shall amortize on a monthly basis in accordance with the Hedge Amortization Schedule;
(iv) the Issuer shall, on the date of any addition of Borrowing Base Loans, adjust (A) the Hedge Agreements to reflect the Required Cap Rate (in the case of
19
a Hedge Agreement in the form of an interest rate cap) and (B) the termination date of the Hedge Agreements in accordance with the Hedge Amortization Schedule following such addition of Borrowing Base Loans;
(v) any additional premium due for the adjustments to the Hedge Agreements on any Funding Date shall be paid by the Issuer from the proceeds of the related Increase;
(vi) in the case of an interest rate swap, the Hedge Agreement shall provide for the payment on each Payment Date to the related Hedge Counterparty of interest on the notional amount thereof at a fixed rate per annum and the payment to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account of a floating rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for each Interest Accrual Period; provided that the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparties may, subject to the related Hedge Agreements, make payments on a net basis; provided, further, that the fixed rate per annum paid to a Hedge Counterparty under an interest rate swap shall not exceed the weighted average coupon for the Borrowing Base Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period, less 8.50%;
(vii) in the case of an interest rate cap, the Hedge Agreement shall provide for the payment by the Hedge Counterparty to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account on each Payment Date if the LIBOR Rate is greater than the Required Cap Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period, if any;
(viii) the Hedge Agreements shall terminate on the last day that the Notes are assumed to be Outstanding based on the Hedge Amortization Schedules; and
(ix) each Hedge Agreement may permit, if the related Hedge Counterparty fails to meet the rating requirements in clause (a) of the definition of Qualified Hedge Counterparty, such related Hedge Counterparty to post collateral to secure its obligations under the related Hedge Agreement. To the extent such Hedge Agreement permits the posting of collateral, such Hedge Agreement shall require the following terms (the “Hedge Agreement Collateral Posting Requirements”):
(A) the Hedge Counterparty shall, within 5 Business Days’ of failing to meet such rating requirement, secure its obligations under the related Hedge Agreement, by posting collateral to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Hedge Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Hedge Collateral Amount;
(B) the Hedge Counterparty shall, at least on a weekly basis, xxxx-to-market the related Hedge Agreement (pursuant to the terms thereof) and post additional collateral, as necessary such that the amount on deposit in the Hedge Collateral Account is at least equal to the Hedge Collateral Amount; and;
20
(C) “Hedge Collateral Amount” shall be calculated using the following formula:
Max[0, MtM + Min[25 * DV01, 4% * notional amount of Hedge Agreement]
Where,
“MtM” = Mid-market value of the Hedge Agreement and
“DV01” = with respect to a Hedge Agreement and a date of determination, the estimated absolute change in the mid-market value of the Hedge Agreement that would result from a one basis point change in the relevant swap curve on such date of determination, as determined by the related Hedge Counterparty in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with the relevant methodology customarily used by such Hedge Counterparty.
(b) Immediately upon receipt, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit all amounts received in respect of the Hedge Agreements into the Collection Account (other than amounts in respect of the Hedge Agreement Collateral Posting Requirements, which shall be deposited into the Hedge Collateral Account). Other than amendments or modifications to effect the adjustments to the notional amount of the Hedge Agreements required by this Section 3.03, any consents, directions or approvals of amendments or modifications to a Hedge Agreement required to be given by the Indenture Trustee under the Hedge Agreement will require the direction of the Required Facility Investors.
(c) Upon notice or knowledge of any Hedge Event of Default or Termination Event, any party hereto shall provide notice to the other parties hereto and the Hedge Counterparty.
(d) The Issuer agrees that if any Hedge Counterparty ceases to be a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, unless 100% of the Purchasers agree that such Hedge Counterparty shall continue, the Issuer shall have five (5) Business Days (x) to cause such Hedge Counterparty to assign its obligations under the related Hedge Agreement to a new Qualified Hedge Counterparty (or such Hedge Counterparty shall have five (5) Business Days to again become a Qualified Hedge Counterparty) or (y) to obtain a substitute Hedge Agreement, together with the related Qualified Hedge Counterparty’s acknowledgement of the pledge by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee of the Issuer’s rights under such Hedge Agreement.
(e) Three Business Days prior to each Funding Date and Payment Date, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer shall, provide to the Administrative Agent a timeshare loan data file with sufficient information so that the Administrative Agent may prepare the Hedge Amortization Schedule. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Issuer and the Servicer with the Hedge Amortization Schedule within 2 Business Days of its receipt of the data file from the Issuer.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without affecting the Issuer’s obligations under Section 3.03(d), the parties hereto agree that the Hedge Requirements do not obligate the Issuer to cause the Hedge Counterparty to terminate, assign or collateralize its Hedge Agreement as a result of such Hedge Counterparty no longer satisfying the definition of Qualified Hedge Counterparty, and, consequently, the Issuer may be party to multiple Hedge
21
Agreements and/or interest rate swaps or interest rate caps with counterparties which are Qualified Hedge Counterparties as well as counterparties that are not Qualified Hedge Counterparties, all collectively having an aggregate notional amount in excess of 100% of the Outstanding Note Balance.

The Indenture Trustee may satisfy its obligations under this Section 3.05 by making available electronically the Monthly Servicer Report to the Noteholders and the Issuer; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to provide such information described in this Section 3.05 until it has received the requisite information from the Issuer or the Servicer. On or before the 5th day prior to the final Payment Date of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall send notice of such Payment Date to the Noteholders. Such notice shall include a statement that if such Notes are paid in full on the final Payment Date, interest shall cease to accrue as of the day immediately preceding such final Payment Date.
The Indenture Trustee may make available to the Noteholders, via the Indenture Trustee’s Internet Website, the Monthly Servicer Report available each month and, with the consent or at the direction of the Issuer, such other information regarding the Notes and/or the Timeshare Loans as the Indenture Trustee may have in its possession, but only with the use of a password provided by the Indenture Trustee.

(a) The provisions of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in furtherance of the Intended Tax Characterization. The conveyance by the Issuer of the Timeshare Loans to the Indenture Trustee shall not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any obligation of the Issuer or the Servicer to the Obligors, the insurers under any insurance policies, or any other Person in connection with the Timeshare Loans.
26
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, with respect to all taxes, the Notes will be treated as indebtedness of the Issuer to the Noteholders secured by the Timeshare Loans (the “Intended Tax Characterization”).

If the Notes are not properly treated as indebtedness with respect to all taxes, then the parties intend (as provided in the Trust Agreement) that they shall constitute interests in a partnership for such purposes and, in that regard, agree that no election to treat the Issuer in any part as a corporation under Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3 shall be made by any Person.
(c) The Issuer, the Servicer and the Back-Up Servicer shall take no action inconsistent with the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Timeshare Loans and shall indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its books and records held on its behalf that each Timeshare Loan constituting the Trust Estate has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders.
Section 4.05 Further Action Evidencing Grant of Security Interest.
(a) The Issuer and the Servicer each agrees that, from time to time, at its respective expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or appropriate, or that the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Facility Investors may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest in the Timeshare Loans or to enable the Indenture Trustee to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will, without the necessity of a request and upon the request of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, authorize or execute, as applicable, and file (or cause to be filed) such assignments of Mortgage, financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to create and maintain in the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest, at all times, in the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, recording and filing UCC-1 financing statements, amendments or continuation statements prior to the effective date of any change of the name, identity or structure or relocation of its chief executive office or its jurisdiction of formation or any change that would or could affect the perfection pursuant to any financing statement or continuation statement or assignment previously filed or make any UCC-1 or continuation statement previously filed pursuant to this Indenture and Servicing Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC (and the Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee at least 30 Business Days prior notice of the expected occurrence of any such circumstance). The Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of any such filing.
(b)(i) The Issuer hereby grants to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a power of attorney to execute and file all documents including, but not limited to assignments of Mortgage, UCC financing statements, amendments or continuation statements, on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing and (ii) the Servicer hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee a power of attorney to execute and file all documents on behalf of the Servicer as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing;
27
provided, however, that such grant shall not create a duty on the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to file, prepare, record or monitor, or any responsibility for the contents or adequacy of, any such documents.
Section 4.06 Substitution and Repurchase of Timeshare Loans.
(a) Mandatory Substitution and Repurchase of Timeshare Loans for Breach of Representation or Warranty. If at any time, any party hereto obtains knowledge, discovers, or is notified by any other party hereto, that any representation or warranty of the Seller in the Sale Agreement was incorrect at the time such representation or warranty was made, then the party discovering such defect, omission, or circumstance shall promptly notify the other parties to this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, the Seller, and the Performance Guarantor. In the event any such representation or warranty of the Seller is incorrect and materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Noteholders therein, then the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall require the Seller, within 60 days after the date it is first notified of, or otherwise discovers such breach, to eliminate or otherwise cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or if the breach relates to a particular Timeshare Loan and is not cured in all material respects (such Timeshare Loan, a “Defective Timeshare Loan”), either (a) repurchase such Defective Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price or (b) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable, to act on behalf and in the name of the Issuer to enforce the Seller’s repurchase or substitution obligations if the Seller has not complied with its repurchase or substitution obligations under the Sale Agreement within 60 days of the end of the aforementioned 60 day period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the failure to deliver a policy of lender’s title insurance in respect of a Timeshare Loan shall not constitute a breach of representation or warranty in respect of such Timeshare Loan if (i) the Timeshare Loan File contains a commitment to issue a policy of lender’s title insurance, and (ii) if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than the 90th day following the Funding Date or the Transfer Date, as the case may be, and (B) the failure to provide evidence that a Mortgage or certificate of title has been recorded and/or stamped, as the case may be, in the appropriate recording office shall not constitute a breach of representation or warranty in respect of such Timeshare Loan if such evidence is provided not later than the 90th day following the Funding Date or the Transfer Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such policy of lender’s title insurance was delayed because the related original Mortgage (or a copy thereof) had not been received from the appropriate recording office by the Custodian prior to the 80th day following the Funding Date or the Transfer Date, as the case may be, then such 90-day periods in (A)(ii) and (B) shall be extended to a date 30 days after such receipt.
(b) Optional Repurchase and Substitution of Timeshare Loans. On any date, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to either (i) repurchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan from the Issuer for a price equal to the Repurchase Price therefor, or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any; provided,
28
however, the aggregate Cut-Off Date Loan Balance of Defaulted Timeshare Loans that may be repurchased and of Defaulted Timeshare Loans that may be substituted pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall be limited on any date to 20% of the highest aggregate Loan Balance of all Timeshare Loans owned by the Issuer since the Closing Date or, if a Securitization Take-Out Transaction shall have occurred, the related Securitization Take-Out Date, less the aggregate Cut-Off Date Loan Balance of all Defaulted Timeshare Loans previously repurchased or substituted pursuant to this Section 4.06(b).
(c) Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall direct that the Seller remit all amounts in respect of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account. In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is substituted pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or Section 4.06(b) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.
(d) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Issuer shall cause the Seller to provide the Indenture Trustee on any date on which a Timeshare Loan is repurchased or substituted, with a revised Schedule of Timeshare Loans to the Sale Agreement reflecting the removal of Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions thereof.
(e) Officer’s Certificate. No substitution of a Timeshare Loan shall be effective unless the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate from the Seller indicating that (i) the new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan”, (ii) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan have been delivered to the Custodian, and (iii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan have been delivered to the Servicer.
(f) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On or prior to the related Transfer Date, the Issuer shall direct the Seller to deliver or cause the delivery of the Timeshare Loan Files of the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Custodian on or prior to the related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.
Section 4.07 Release of Lien.
(a) Repurchase and Substitutions and Paid–in-Full Timeshare Loans. The Issuer shall be entitled to obtain a release from the Lien of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement for any Timeshare Loan repurchased or substituted pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof, (i) in the case of any repurchase, after payment of the Repurchase Price of the Timeshare Loan, or (ii) in the case of any substitution, after payment of any applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount and the delivery of the Timeshare Loan Files for the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan to the Custodian. The Issuer shall be entitled to obtain a release from the Lien of the Indenture and Servicing Agreement for any Timeshare Loan which has been paid in full. In connection with this Section 4.07(a), the Indenture Trustee will execute and deliver such
29
endorsements and assignments as are provided to it by the Seller, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, the legal and beneficial ownership of each repurchased or substituted Timeshare Loan being released pursuant to this Section 4.07(a). The Servicer shall direct the Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Servicer, as provided for in the Custodial Agreement.
(b) Release Upon Optional Prepayments. If the Issuer exercises its right to prepay the Notes in whole or in part as provided in Section 10.01 of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of the prepayment date and the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on the prepayment date and the amount of interest and other amounts due and payable on such date in accordance with this Indenture and Servicing Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement. On the prepayment date, upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of all amounts to be paid to the Noteholders in accordance with this Indenture and Servicing Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of such prepayment and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the following paragraphs, then, the Indenture Trustee shall release from the Lien of this Indenture those Timeshare Loans, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all collections with respect thereto from and including the last day of the Due Period immediately preceding such date of release which the Indenture Trustee is directed to release as described in the following paragraph.
The Issuer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee a list of the Timeshare Loans which are to be released, shall direct the Indenture Trustee to release such Timeshare Loans, and shall direct the Servicer to delete such Timeshare Loans from the Schedule of Timeshare Loans.
In addition to receipt by the Indenture Trustee of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid, the interest thereon and other amounts due and payable in connection with such prepayment and the list of the Timeshare Loans to be released, the following conditions shall be met before the Lien is released under this Section 4.07(b): (i) after giving effect to such release, no Borrowing Base Shortfall shall exist and no Amortization Event or Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) each of the Issuer and the Servicer shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that the Timeshare Loans to be released from the Lien of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement were not selected in a manner involving any selection procedures materially adverse to the Noteholders and that the release of such Timeshare Loans would not reasonably be expected to cause a Potential Amortization Event, an Amortization Event, a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default; it being understood and agreed that provided there is no Borrowing Base Shortfall at such time and after giving effect to a Securitization Take-Out Transaction, the occurrence of any Amortization Event, Potential Amortization Event, Servicer Event of Default, Potential Servicer Event of Default, Event of Default or Potential Event of Default solely as a result of the release of Timeshare Loans hereunder in connection with a Securitization Take-Out Transaction shall not be deemed an Amortization Event, Potential Amortization Event, Servicer Event of Default, Potential Servicer Event of Default, Event of Default or Potential Event of Default for purposes of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement or any other Facility Document for a period of 3 months following such Securitization Take-Out Transaction.
30
(c) Release Upon Issuance of Exchange Notes.
(i) If the Issuer is required to issue any Exchange Notes on the Payment Date immediately succeeding a Facility Termination Date, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by Extending Noteholders to be canceled on such Payment Date.

(e) No provision of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this Section 7.01(e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a) and (b) hereof;

The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand;
59

If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

The predecessor Indenture Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the successor Indenture Trustee or its custodian any Facility Documents and statements held by it or its custodian hereunder; and the Servicer and the Issuer and the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for the full and certain vesting and confirmation in the successor Indenture Trustee of all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 7.11 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. (a) At any time or times for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located or in which any action of the Indenture Trustee may be required to be performed or taken, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Majority Facility Investors, by an instrument in writing signed by it or them, may appoint, at the reasonable expense of the Issuer (as an Indenture Trustee Expense) and the Servicer, one or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, to the full extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee to act. Notwithstanding the appointment of any separate or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall remain obligated and liable for the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and Servicing Agreement.
(b) The Indenture Trustee and, at the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more fully confirming such title, rights, or duties to such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it, he, she or they shall be vested with such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Indenture Trustee subject to all the terms of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
63
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Indenture Trustee its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its name. In any case, if any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all assets, property, rights, power duties and obligations and duties of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is appointed.
(c) All provisions of this Indenture and Servicing Agreement which are for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee shall extend to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.11.
(d) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Indenture Trustee shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all powers, duties and obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody, investment and payment of monies shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such additional trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture 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 property in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees; (iii) no power hereby given to, or exercisable by, any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such trustee except jointly with, or with the consent of, the Indenture Trustee; and (iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.
If at any time, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to such law, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional trustee or separate trustee.
(e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Indenture Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.11, the powers of any additional trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of the Indenture Trustee hereunder.
