ARTICLE II
THE LOANS
---------
SECTION 2.01. The Loans.
---------
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Conduit Lender may, in
its discretion, and each Committed Lender shall, if the related Conduit Lender
determines not to, make loans ("Loans") on Contract Grant Dates during the
-----
period from the Effective Restatement Date to the Termination Date, in an
aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed at any time
(i) in the case of a Conduit Lender, the lower of (A) its Lender
Group's Pro Rata Share of the lowest of (1) the Facility Limit in effect at
such time, (2) the Borrowing Base in effect at such time, and (3) the
Eligible Contract Pool Principal Balance in effect at such time less the
Minimum O/C Amount, and (B) its Lender Group's Lender Group Limit in effect
at such time, and
(ii) in the case of a Committed Lender, the lower of (A) its Committed
Percentage of its Lender Group's Pro Rata Share of the lowest of (1) the
Facility Limit in effect at such time, (2) the Borrowing Base in effect at
such time, or (3) the Eligible Contract Pool Principal Balance in effect at
such time less the Minimum O/C Amount, and (B) its Commitment;
provided, however, that the first Borrowing to take place hereunder shall occur
-------- -------
on the Effective Restatement Date. Each Loan made on such date and each
subsequent Loan shall be made in a principal amount of greater than or equal to
$5,000,000. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, under no
circumstances shall a Lender make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto, an
O/C Shortfall or a Borrowing Base Shortfall would exist.
(b) The Borrowing Base in effect on any date shall be determined by
reference to the most recent Settlement Report delivered by the Servicer to the
Deal Agent and each Managing Agent in accordance with Section 6.01(b) hereof, as
---------------
adjusted (i) on the most recent Contract Grant Date (if any), to reflect
additional Eligible Contracts sold to the Borrower by FAC and Granted to the
Collateral Agent since the delivery of such Settlement Report (if any), (ii) on
any Settlement Date, to reflect Collections received and applied pursuant to the
terms hereof on or prior to the next preceding Determination Date, and (iii) on
any Settlement Date, to eliminate from the Eligible Contract Pool Principal
Balance the outstanding Principal Balance of any Pledged Contracts which are
either Defaulted Contracts or Defective Contracts, or which are otherwise not
Eligible Contracts, as of the next preceding Determination Date.
(c) All of the Loans shall mature, and become due and payable, on the
Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.02. Lender Notes. All of the Loans made by a Lender shall be
-------------
evidenced by a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a
---------
"Lender Note" and collectively, the "Lender Notes") appropriately completed,
----------- ------------
duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and payable to the order
of such Lender. The Borrowing Date and
principal amount of each Loan, the interest rate and Interest Period applicable
thereto and each repayment or prepayment of principal thereof shall be recorded
in each Lender's internal records (or in the records of its Managing Agent on
its behalf) and, prior to any transfer of any Lender Note, on the grid schedule
annexed thereto, and the Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender (or its Managing
Agent on its behalf) to make such recordation; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
failure of any Lender (or its Managing Agent) to set forth any or all of such
information on such schedule or any error in such schedule shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance
with the terms hereof and of such Lender Note. Such updated grid schedules, or
other proper records maintained by a Lender (or by its Managing Agent on its
behalf) in lieu thereof, shall be presumptively correct evidence of the Loans
made by such Lender to the Borrower. The aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Loans at any time shall be the aggregate principal amount owing on the
Lender Notes at such time.
SECTION 2.03. Making the Loans.
----------------
(a) Notice of Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower wishes to make a Borrowing
-------------------
hereunder, it shall deliver to the Deal Agent (with a copy to each Managing
Agent) a notice ("Notice of Borrowing") in substantially the form of Exhibit B
------------------- ---------
hereto no later than 10:00 AM (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the Business Day
immediately prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, provided that, if the Borrower
--------
requests that the Borrowing be funded with Eurodollar Rate Advances, such notice
shall be given not later than 11:00 AM (Boston, Massachusetts time) at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date. Each Notice of
Borrowing shall be by telephone or facsimile transmission (in the case of any
such notice by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing) and shall specify
therein the proposed (i) Borrowing Date of such Borrowing, which shall be a
Contract Grant Date, (ii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing requested and (iii)
proposed Interest Period relating thereto and the proposed principal amount of
each Loan to be allocated to each Interest Period. Each Notice of Borrowing
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(b) Selection of Interest Periods. Promptly upon receiving each Notice of
------------------------------
Borrowing, the Deal Agent shall, following its review of the Borrower's
proposal, select (subject to the approval of each Managing Agent) the Interest
Periods for the Loan thereby requested. At least one Business Day prior to the
last day of each Interest Period for any Loan, the Borrower shall request new
Interest Periods for all Loans, or any portions thereof, the Interest Periods of
which are then ending and which are not to be prepaid as provided in Section
-------
2.07 below; provided that, in the case of any Interest Period for a Loan for
---- --------
which interest is requested to be determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate, such request shall be given not later than 10:00 AM (Boston, Massachusetts
time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the relevant
Interest Period; and provided further that (i) the portion of any Loan assigned
-------- -------
to an Interest Period for which interest is requested to be determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate shall not be less than $1,000,000, and (ii) any
other portion of a Loan assigned to an Interest Period shall not be less than
$200,000. On the date of any Borrowing hereunder and, so long as any Loan is
outstanding, on the first day of each successive Interest Period for such Loan,
the Managing Agent for the Lender of such Loan shall notify the Borrower of the
duration of the relevant Interest Period and the interest rate which will be
applicable to such Loan during such Interest Period as described in Section 2.06
------------
below. Any Interest Period that commences before the Termination Date and would
otherwise end on a date occurring after the Termination Date
shall end on the Termination Date and the duration of any Interest Period that
commences on or after the Termination Date shall be of such duration as shall be
selected by the Deal Agent (subject to the approval of each Managing Agent). In
addition, if a CP Disruption shall have occurred and be continuing, any Lender,
or its Managing Agent or the Deal Agent on its behalf, may, upon notice to the
Borrower, terminate any Interest Period then in effect if such Lender has funded
the Loan allocated to such Interest Period by issuing Transaction Commercial
Paper Notes. All outstanding Loans (and all outstanding portions thereof) shall
be assigned an Interest Period at all times, which Interest Periods will be
limited as set forth in the definition thereof.
(c) Funding. On the proposed Borrowing Date of each Borrowing, the Conduit
-------
Lenders or the Committed Lenders, as applicable, shall, subject to satisfaction
of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and the limitations set
-----------
forth in Section 2.01, make available to the Borrower, via wire transfer of
-------------
funds to the Borrower in accordance with the Borrower's written wire transfer
instructions, an amount equal to (i) in the case of each Conduit Lender, its
Lender Group's Pro Rata Share of the amount of the amount of such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of each Committed Lender, its Committed Percentage of its
Purchaser Group's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Reduction of Facility Limit. The Borrower shall have the
----------------------------
right, at any time upon at least three (3) Business Days' notice to the Deal
Agent and each Managing Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the
unused portion of the Facility Limit in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and
increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that in no event shall the
--------
Facility Limit be reduced to less than the aggregate principal amount of the
Loans then outstanding. Any such termination shall be without premium or penalty
of any kind, except for any indemnification which may be owed in connection with
such termination pursuant to Section 2.08. Any such reduction shall be permanent
------------
and shall reduce the Commitments of the Committed Lenders hereunder ratably in
accordance with the Committed Percentages of the Committed Lenders immediately
prior to such reduction.
SECTION 2.05. Repayments; Manner of Payment and Prepayment. Each of the
----------------------------------------------
Loans shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. Each payment hereunder or
prepayment of principal of and interest on each Lender Note and each payment of
fees, premiums, indemnities and all other amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made by the Borrower in immediately available funds to the
Person to which such payment is owed not later than 10:30 AM (Boston,
Massachusetts time) on the date on which payable. Payments received by a
required recipient hereunder after such time shall be deemed to have been
received on the next Business Day. All payments by the Borrower under this
Credit Agreement and any Lender Note shall be made without setoff, deduction or
counterclaim and the Borrower agrees to pay on demand any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Lender
Note or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Credit Agreement or any Lender Note. Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder or under any Lender Note shall be stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
applicable Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate
during such extension; provided, that if such extension would cause payment of
--------
interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Loan to be made in the next following
month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans; Default Interest.
-----------------------------------
(a) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as interest on its outstanding
Loans, the following amounts on the following dates:
(i) on any Interest Payment Date for Loans being funded or maintained
through the issuance of Transaction Commercial Paper Notes by such Lender,
interest on such Loans in an amount equal to the CP Rate applicable to such
Lender;
(ii) on any Interest Payment Date for Loans funded or maintained
through the making of Base Rate Advances by such Lender, accrued and unpaid
interest on such Loans at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate
applicable to such Lender, computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days; and
(iii)on any Interest Payment Date for Loans funded or maintained
through the making of Eurodollar Rate Advances by such Lender, accrued and
unpaid interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal at all times during
each applicable Interest Period for each such Loan to the Eurodollar Rate
for such Interest Period applicable to such Lender, plus,
----
(A) 0.50% for the first six months that the underlying Eurodollar
Rate Advance remains outstanding, and
(B) 1.50% from the seventh month and for as long thereafter as
the underlying Eurodollar Rate Advance remains outstanding,
each computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a
year of 360 days.
(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, and from and after the due date of any Loan until such Loan is paid in
full, the Borrower shall pay interest to the applicable Lenders, payable on
demand, on the outstanding principal amount of such Loan for each day until paid
in full at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2%) plus the otherwise
----
applicable rate for such Loan for such day.
SECTION 2.07. Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayment of Loans.
-------------------------------------------------------
(a) The Borrower shall have the right on any Business Day and from time to
time to prepay any Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business
Days' written notice to the Deal Agent and each Managing Agent, which notice
shall specify the proposed prepayment date and the amount of such prepayment,
provided that (i) any partial prepayment shall be equal to an integral multiple
--------
of $1,000,000; (ii) the Borrower shall, in connection with any such prepayment,
indemnify and hold the Lenders harmless from any funding loss pursuant to the
terms of Section 2.08, and (iii) any such voluntary prepayment, to the extent
------------
made with funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be made subject to
the provisions of Section 7.06. If any such notice is given, the amount
-------------
specified in such notice shall be presumed correct absent manifest error and
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each notice of
prepayment shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(b) On each Settlement Date prior to the Liquidation Trigger Date, the
Borrower shall be obligated to make principal repayments of the Loans in an
amount equal to the greatest of:
(i) an amount equal to the product of (A) the Loan Percentage on such
date and (B) the aggregate amount of all principal payments received on the
Pledged Contracts during the next preceding Settlement Period whether
scheduled or unscheduled, and whether by virtue of Obligor payments,
liquidation proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other sources (excluding,
---------
however, all amounts received by the Borrower under the Receivables
-------
Purchase Agreement in respect of payments of amounts of Repurchase Price);
and
(ii) the Borrowing Base Shortfall then in effect; and
(iii) the O/C Shortfall then in effect.
To the extent any such repayments are made with funds on deposit in the
Collection Account, such repayments shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 7.06(b).
---------------
(c) On each Business Day from and after the Liquidation Trigger Date, the
Borrower shall be obligated to make principal repayments of the Loans in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of funds remaining on
deposit in the Collection Account on such day (other than any funds retained in
the Collection Account in respect of Carrying Costs then accrued and unpaid to
the extent required under Section 7.06(d)) after giving effect to the required
----------------
applications of such funds pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of Section
-------
7.06(d), and (ii) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loans.
-------
(d) In the event of any prepayment or repayment of a Loan or any portion
thereof on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender harmless from any
funding loss (in an amount equal to the amount of interest such Lender would
have received but for such prepayment through the last day of the relevant
Interest Period less the interest earned on investing such funds) and expense
which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of such prepayment in
accordance with Section 2.08.
------------
SECTION 2.08. Compensation. The Borrower shall, whether or not the
------------
Effective Restatement Date has occurred, compensate each Lender, upon its
written request, for all losses, expenses and liabilities, including, without
limitation, any indemnification payments owed by such Lender pursuant to its

or other funds acquired by such party to make, fund or maintain an Loan
hereunder (i) if for any reason the funding of any Loan does not occur on a date
specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing; (ii) if for any reason any
payment, prepayment or conversion of principal of any Loan occurs on a date
which is not the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan or (iii) as a
consequence of any required prepayment of any Loan or required conversion of any
Eurodollar Rate Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for the
relevant Loan. Any request for compensation under this Section 2.08 shall be
------------
accompanied by a copy of a statement from such Lender, or its Managing Agent or
the Deal
Agent on its behalf, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting
compensation and the determination of the amount thereof in such statement shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.09. Increased Costs, Capital Adequacy.
---------------------------------
(a) If, after the date hereof due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in or to the interpretation of any law or regulation by the governmental
authority that promulgated or administers compliance with such law or regulation
(other than laws or regulations with respect to income taxes or any change by
way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar
Reserve Percentage) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from
any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or governmental authority, rating
agency or similar agency (whether or not having the force of law), and taking
into account the obligations of the Liquidity Providers under the Liquidity
Agreements, and otherwise in connection with any Conduit Lender's
asset-supported financing business, any reserve or deposit or similar
requirement shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable or, any basis of
taxation shall be changed or any other condition shall be imposed, and there
shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender (either directly or indirectly
through any increase in the costs to the related Liquidity Providers) of making,
funding, or maintaining Loans or in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make,
fund, or maintain Loans (including the reduction of any sum received or amount
of principal or interest receivable under the Pledged Contracts), then the
Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, or its Managing
Agent or the Deal Agent on its behalf, by the submission of the certificate
described below, pay to such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender, for such increased cost; provided, however, that in the case of any
such increased cost incurred solely as a result of compliance with any guideline
or request of any rating agency, the Borrower's obligation to pay any additional
amounts identified on the certificate described below by way of compensation
shall neither accrue, nor become due and payable, prior to the 90th day
following the Borrower's receipt of such certificate (it being understood that
the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any such additional amount incurred
solely as a result of a guideline or request of a rating agency if all
outstanding Loans and any other amounts outstanding hereunder are repaid in full
and in cash, and the Borrower shall have terminated the obligations of the other
parties hereto, prior to such 90th day following the Borrower's receipt of such
certificate). A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of
such increased cost submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, or its Managing
Agent or the Deal Agent on its behalf, shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any Lender or Liquidity Provider determines that compliance with any
law or regulation or any guideline or request or any written interpretation from
any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or governmental authority, rating
agency or similar agency (whether or not having the force of law) which is
introduced, implemented or received by such Lender or Liquidity Provider after
the Effective Restatement Date, affects or would affect capital adequacy or the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or
Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling such Lender or Liquidity
Provider and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the
Loans or the existence of this Credit Agreement, or upon the "Advances" of a
Liquidity Provider, or such Liquidity Provider's commitment under the related
Liquidity Agreement, and other commitments of that type, or has or would have
the
effect of reducing such Person's rate of return on capital, then, upon demand by
such Lender, or its Managing Agent or the Deal Agent on its behalf, by the
submission of the certificate described below, the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, or its Managing Agent or
the Deal Agent on its behalf, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender or Liquidity Provider (as the case may be), in the light of such
circumstances, to the extent that such Lender or Liquidity Provider (as the case
may be) reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the
Loans or the existence of this Credit Agreement, or upon the "Advances" of a
Liquidity Provider or such Liquidity Provider's commitment under the related
Liquidity Agreement and other commitments of that type, or to the extent that
such Lender owes compensation to a Liquidity Provider in respect of or on
account of such events; provided, however, that in the case of any such increase
-------- -------
in capital required solely as a result of compliance with any guideline, request
or written interpretation of any rating agency, the Borrower's obligation to pay
any additional amounts identified on the certificate described below by way of
compensation shall neither accrue, nor become due and payable, prior to the 90th
day following the Borrower's receipt of such certificate (it being understood
that the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any such additional amount
incurred solely as a result of a guideline or request of a rating agency if all
outstanding Loans and any other amounts outstanding hereunder are repaid in full
and in cash, and the Borrower shall have terminated the obligations of the other
parties hereto, prior to such 90th day following the Borrower's receipt of such
certificate). A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts
submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, or its Managing Agent or the Deal
Agent on its behalf, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
SECTION 2.09. Taxes.
-----
(a) All payments made by the Borrower, FCI or the Servicer (if the Servicer
is FAC or an Affiliate of FAC) under this Credit Agreement and any Lender Note
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any governmental authority having taxing authority,
excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes)
imposed on any Lender as a result of any present or former connection between
the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein and such Lender
(excluding a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed,
delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced,
this Credit Agreement, each Lender Note or any other Facility Document to which
such Lender is a party) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called "Taxes"). If
-----
any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to or under any
Lender Note or the Credit Agreement, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10), each
------------
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower, FCI or the Servicer (if the Servicer is
FAC or an Affiliate of FAC), as the case may be, shall make such deductions, and
(iii) the Borrower, FCI or the Servicer (if the Servicer is FAC or an Affiliate
of FAC), as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery, issuance or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Credit
Agreement or any Lender Note (hereinafter "Other Taxes").
-----------
(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or
Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by such Lender
------------
and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to each Managing Agent a
certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing
payment thereof. If the Borrower or the Servicer fails to pay any Taxes when due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to each Managing Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall
indemnify each Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that such
Lender is legally required to pay as a result of any such failure. The
agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Credit
Agreement and the payment of the Lender Notes.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes,
the Borrower will furnish to each of the Deal Agent and each Managing Agent, at
the addresses referred to in Section 14.02, the original or a certified copy of
-------------
a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(e) If, in connection with an agreement or other document providing
liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support in connection
with this Credit Agreement or the funding or maintenance of any Loans hereunder,
any Lender is required to compensate a Liquidity Provider in respect of taxes
under circumstances similar to those described in this Section 2.10, then within
------------
ten days after demand such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to pay such Liquidity Provider
the amounts due or to otherwise reimburse such Lender for any amounts paid by
it.
(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower or the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrower and the Servicer (if the Servicer is FAC or an Affiliate of FAC)
contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
------------------------------
SECTION 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower
----------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to each of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent and each
Lender, that:
(a) Due Incorporation and Good Standing. The Borrower is a corporation duly
-----------------------------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of
Delaware, and has full corporate power, authority and legal right to own its
properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and
such business is presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under each of the Facility Documents to which it is a party. The
Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each
jurisdiction in which failure to qualify or to obtain such licenses and
approvals would render any Pledged Contract unenforceable by the Borrower or
would otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Due Authorization and No Conflict. The execution, delivery and
-------------------------------------
performance by the Borrower of each of the Facility Documents to which it is a
party, and the consummation of each of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including the acquisition of the Pledged Contracts under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the making of the Borrowings and the Grants
contemplated hereunder, have in all cases been duly authorized by the Borrower

other agreement or instrument binding on or affecting the Borrower or its
property or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding
on or affecting the Borrower or its property (except where such contravention
would not have a Material Adverse Effect), and do not result in or require the
creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties; and no
transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or
similar law. Each of the other Facility Documents to which the Borrower is a
party have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.
(c) Governmental and Other Consents. All approvals, authorizations,
----------------------------------
consents, orders or other actions of, and all registration, qualification,
designation, declaration, notice to or filing with, any Person or of any
governmental body or official required in connection with the execution and
delivery of any of the Facility Documents to which the Borrower is a party, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance
of and the compliance with the terms hereof or thereof, have been obtained,
except where the failure so to do would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and
each such required approval, authorization, consent, order, registration,
qualification, designation, declaration, notice or filing is listed on Exhibit D
---------
hereto (or in the case of any Borrowing on a Contract Grant Date hereunder, as
set forth in any addendum to such Exhibit D hereto prepared by the Borrower and
---------
accepted by the Deal Agent, in the exercise of its sole discretion).
(d) Enforceability of Facility Documents. Each of the Facility Documents to
------------------------------------
which the Borrower is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered
by the Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be subject to or limited by Debtor Relief Laws or by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(e) No Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed on FCI's report on Form
--------------
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 (collectively the "Base Report"), which Base Report shall have

been delivered to the Deal Agent prior to the Effective Restatement Date, or as
otherwise set forth on Schedule 4.01(e), there are no proceedings or
------------------
investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against the Borrower before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency,
or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity
of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, (ii) seeking to
prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Credit
Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, (iii) seeking any
determination or ruling that would adversely affect the performance by the
Borrower of its obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other
Facility Documents, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would
adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any
of the other Facility Documents, or (v) seeking any determination or ruling that

disclose the existence of, and accurately describe, one or more proceedings or
investigations which are not disclosed in the Base Report, and the Deal Agent

such report, one or more of the proceedings or investigations described in such
report as constituting a proceeding or investigation of a type described in one

or investigation not so identified to the Borrower shall be deemed not to
constitute a breach of the representation and warranty of this subsection (e).
(f) Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of any Loan shall be used by the Borrower
---------------
exclusively to fund a Purchase from the Seller under the Receivables Purchase

interest in the Collateral, as security for the repayment of the
Obligations, which Lien upon and security interest in the Collateral is
free and clear of all Liens (other than any Permitted Encumbrances); and
(ii) Upon the making of each Loan, the Borrower has a legal, valid and
perfected ownership interest in, and good title to, the Collateral

clear of all Liens (other than the Primary Lien and any Permitted
Encumbrances).

statements and any other written information furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower to any Managing Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Deal Agent at any
time pursuant to any requirement of, or in response to any request of any such
party under this Credit Agreement or any other Facility Document or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, have been, and all such
certificates, reports, financial statements and any other written information
hereafter furnished by the Borrower to such parties will be, true and accurate

facts necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially
misleading.

------------------------------------------------
Company Act of 1935, as amended, or (iii) otherwise subject to any other federal
or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur or pay
indebtedness.
(j) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged, principally or as one
------------------
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" (as each of the quoted terms is
defined or used in any of Regulations G, T, U or X of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, as in effect from time to time). No part of the
proceeds of any of the Loans has been used for so purchasing or carrying margin

Primary Lien and any Permitted Encumbrances). All such Pledged Contracts and
other Collateral are purchased without recourse to the Seller except as
described in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Purchases by the Borrower

books in accordance with GAAP and which proceedings have not given rise to any
Lien.

--------
Purchase, (including, without limitation, the Purchase contemplated to take

provisions of ERISA, the IRC, and all other applicable laws, and the regulations

Liens (other than the Primary Lien and in the case of any VOIs or Lots, any
Permitted Encumbrance).
(j) Legal Opinion. On or before March 31 in each calendar year commencing
-------------
with 2001, the Borrower shall furnish to the Deal Agent (i) an Opinion of
Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken

year.
(k) Instruments. The Borrower shall not remove any portion of the
-----------
Collateral that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate
or other writing (including any Contract) from the jurisdiction in which it was
held at the date the most recent Opinion of Counsel was delivered pursuant to
this Section 5.01(k) (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described
---------------
in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Effective Restatement Date if no
Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to this Section 5.01(k))
----------------
unless the Deal Agent and each Managing Agent on behalf of the Lenders in its
Lender Group shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the Primary Lien with respect to such property will continue to be maintained
after giving effect to such action or actions; provided, however, that each of
-------- -------
the Collateral Agent and the Servicer may remove Pledged Contracts from such
jurisdiction to the extent necessary to satisfy any requirement of law or court
order, in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement
and Section 5.01(n).
---------------
(l) No Release. The Borrower shall not take any action and shall use its
----------
best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release
any Person from any of such Person's covenants or obligations under any
document, instrument or agreement included in the Collateral, or which would
result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge
of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such document, instrument or
agreement, except as expressly provided in this Credit Agreement or such other
instrument or document.
(m) Insurance and Condemnation.
--------------------------

of a similar nature, use its best efforts, and (B) in the case of
Developments where FCI or any Subsidiary of FCI does not maintain primary
or substantial responsibility for management, administration or other
services of a similar nature, to cause each of the POAs for each
Development, do or cause to be done all things which it may accomplish with
a reasonable amount of cost or effort, to (1) maintain one or more policies
of "all-risk" property and general liability insurance with financially
sound and reputable insurers, providing coverage in scope and amount which
(x) satisfies the requirements of the Declarations (or any similar charter
document) governing the POA for the maintenance of such insurance policies,
and (y) is at least consistent with the scope and amount of such insurance
coverage obtained by prudent POAs and/or management of other similar
developments (including, without limitation, time share developments) in
the same jurisdiction; and (2) apply the proceeds of any such insurance
policies in the manner specified in the relevant Declarations (or any
similar charter document) governing the POA and/or any similar charter
documents of such POA (which efforts shall include, in any case, voting as
a member of the POA or as a proxy or attorney-in-fact for the Nominee). For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that the ultimate
discretion and control relating to the maintenance of any such insurance
policies is vested in the POAs in accordance with the respective
Declaration (or any similar charter document) relating to each VOI Regime.
(ii) The Borrower shall remit, and shall cause each of FAC and FCI to

deliver or cause to be delivered directly to the Custodian for the benefit
of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Custodial Agreement all such

limitation, all original Pledged Contracts (or in the case of Pledged
Contracts consisting of a sales contract and a separate promissory note,
the original of such promissory note), installment promissory notes,
mortgages, and all ancillary and collateral documentation executed in
connection therewith (collectively, the "Primary Custodial Documents"). The
Custodian shall hold, maintain and keep custody of all such Primary

be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. In addition, the Servicer
shall obtain a copy of the each of the Primary Custodial Documents
described above on microfiche, CD-Rom or other format reasonably acceptable
to the Collateral Agent, which copy shall in each case be maintained in a
fireproof vault at a repository located outside of the offices of the
Servicer or the Borrower (which repository initially shall be Offsite Data
Storage, Inc., Mabelvale, Arkansas, and which repository shall in all cases
provide an acknowledgment in form and
substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the effect that such
repository maintains an account in the name of the Collateral Agent).
(ii) The Custodian shall at all times maintain control of the Primary
Custodial Documents for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of
itself, the Deal Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders, in each case
pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. Each of FAC, FCI and the Borrower may
access the Primary Custodial Documents at the Custodian's storage facility
only for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein
and in the Custodial Agreement. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer may
only remove Primary Custodial Documents for collection services and other
routine servicing requirements from such facility in accordance with the
terms of the Custodial Agreement, all as set forth and pursuant to the
"Bailment Agreement" (as defined in, and attached as an exhibit to, the
Custodial Agreement).
(iii) The Borrower shall at all times comply, and shall cause each of
FCI and FAC to comply, with the terms of, and their respective obligations

amendment or supplement of or to, and shall not terminate, any of the
Custodial Agreements, without the Collateral Agent's prior written consent.

status as a separate legal entity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower
shall:
(i) conduct all of its business, and make all communications to third
parties (including all invoices (if any), letters, checks and other
instruments) solely in its own name (and not as a division of any other
Person), and require that its employees, if any, when conducting its
business identify themselves as such and not as employees of any other
Affiliate of the Borrower (including, without limitation, by means of
providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards
identifying such employees as the Borrower's employees);
(ii) compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly or
indirectly through reimbursement of the Seller, from the Borrower's bank
accounts, for services provided to the Borrower by such employees,
consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent
of the Borrower is also an employee, consultant or agent of any Affiliate
of the Borrower, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or
agent between the Borrower and such Affiliate on a basis which reflects the
respective services rendered to the Borrower and such Affiliate (provided
--------
that any fees and expenses payable to the Custodian under the Custodial
Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Servicer to be paid out of its
Servicing Fee) other than with respect to the services covered under the
terms of the Administrative Services Agreement;
(iii) (A) pay its own incidental administrative costs and expenses not
covered under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, from its
own funds, (B) allocate all other shared overhead expenses (including,

expenses) which are not reflected in the Servicing Fee, and
other items of cost and expense shared between the Borrower and any
Affiliate, pursuant to the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement,
on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent
such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual
use or the value of services rendered, and (C) allocate taxes on the basis
set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement;
(iv) at all times have at least one "Independent Director", which
satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 4.01(n) hereof and under

by or under the direction of its board of directors;
(v) maintain its books and records separate from those of any
Affiliate;
(vi) prepare its financial statements separately from those of its
Affiliates and ensure that any consolidated financial statements of each of
FAC and FCI have notes to the effect that the Borrower is a separate
corporate entity whose creditors have a claim on its assets prior to those
assets becoming available to its equity holders and therefore to any
creditors of FAC or FCI, as the case may be;
(vii) not commingle its funds or other assets with those of any of its
Affiliates (other than in respect of items of payment which are not
material in the aggregate and which have been mistakenly forwarded by an
Obligor directly to any of FCI, FAC or any of their respective Affiliates),
and not to hold its assets in any manner that would create an appearance
that such assets belong to any such Affiliate, not maintain bank accounts
or other depository accounts to which any such Affiliate is an account
party, into which any such Affiliate makes deposits or from which any such
Affiliate has the power to make withdrawals, and not act as an agent or
representative of any of its Affiliates in any capacity;
(viii) not permit any of its Affiliates to pay the Borrower's
operating expenses (except pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply
with the requirements of subsection (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5.01(o)
--------------- ----- ---------------
or pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement);
(ix) not guarantee any obligation of any of its Affiliates nor have
any of its obligations guaranteed by any such Affiliate, (either directly
or by seeking credit based on the assets of such Affiliate) or otherwise
hold itself out as responsible for the debts of any Affiliate;
(x) maintain at all times stationery and a telephone number separate
from that of any Affiliate and which telephone number will be answered in
its own name, and have all its officers and employees conduct all of its
business solely in its own name;

with the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation and otherwise take
such actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that all corporate
procedures required by its Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws are
duly and validly taken;
(xii) maintain a separate office from the offices of any of its
Affiliates and identify such office by a sign in its own name;
(xiii) not advance funds or other assets to, or commit to advance
funds or other assets to (other than by way of payments in respect of a
Purchase on any Contract Grant Date under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement), or accept funds from (other than by way of contributions to
capital) FAC or any of its Affiliates for any purpose or transaction (other
than in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(k) with respect to
----------------
transactions with Affiliates), or permit FAC or any of its Affiliates to be
involved in the management of the Borrower;
(xiv) respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Pledged
Contract by stating that it is the owner of such Pledged Contract, and that
such Pledged Contract is Granted to the Collateral Agent;

Borrower shall deliver to the Deal Agent and each Managing Agent an
Officer's Certificate stating that Borrower has, during the preceding year,

business and operations in such a manner as required for the Borrower to
maintain its separate corporate existence from any other entity; and
(xvi) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure
that the facts and assumptions set forth in the non-consolidation opinion
delivered by Borrower's counsel and described in the List of Closing
Documents attached at Exhibit C remain true and correct at all times.
---------
(p) Computer Files. Xxxx or cause to be marked each Pledged Contract in its
--------------
computer files as described in Section 4.03(b) hereof.
---------------
(q) Taxes. File or cause to be filed, and cause each of its Affiliates with
-----
whom it shares consolidated tax liability to file, all federal, state and local
tax returns which are required to be filed by it, except where the failure to
file such returns could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, or which could otherwise be reasonably expected to expose the Borrower
to a material liability. The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes
shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by
it, other than any taxes or assessments, the validity of which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the
Borrower or the applicable Affiliate shall have set aside adequate reserves on
its books in accordance with GAAP, and which proceedings could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or which could otherwise be
reasonably expected to expose the Borrower to a material liability.

information and reports or for action as the Borrower is entitled to make
thereunder and as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Deal
Agent or any Managing Agent.

------------------
terms or discrepancies that become known after the Contract Grant Date, and
promptly notify the Deal Agent of any such amendments.

----------------------------
Lock-Box Accounts, the Collection Account or the Spread Account of any funds
other than Collections in respect of the Pledged Contracts (except, in the case
of the Spread Account, for the initial deposit therein); provided that this
covenant shall not have been breached to the extent that items other than
Collections, which are not material in the aggregate, have been mistakenly
forwarded by an Obligor directly to any of the Lock-Box Accounts, the Collection
Account or the Spread Account and, to the extent that any such funds are
nevertheless deposited into any of such Lock-Box Accounts, the Collection
Account or the Spread Account, promptly identify any such funds to the Servicer
for segregation and remittance to the owner thereof.
(u) Interest in Real Property. Ensure that the VOI or Lot underlying each
-------------------------
Contract is an interest in real property consisting of either (a) a Fixed Week
or undivided interest in fee simple in a lodging unit or group of lodging units
at a Development, (b) an undivided leasehold interest in any lodging unit
located at the Harbortown Marina Resort Hotel in Ventura County, California or

Contract or any other Collateral, or any interests in either thereof, or upon or
with respect to any Post Office Box, the Collection Account, the Spread Account
or any Lock-Box Account, or assign any right to receive income in respect

the related Obligor's creditworthiness or inability to make any payment under
the Pledged Contract or otherwise; provided, however, that the following

notice of such addition, termination or change; (ii) written confirmation from
the Borrower that after the effectiveness of any such termination, there shall
be at least one (1) Lock Box Account in existence; and (iii) prior to the

Affiliates may take or allow such prohibited transactions, accumulated funding
deficiencies, payments, terminations and reportable events described in clauses
(i) through (iv) above so long as such events occurring within any fiscal year
of the Borrower, in the aggregate, involve a payment of money by or an
incurrence of liability of any such ERISA Affiliate (collectively, "ERISA

made a study and evaluation of the Servicer's internal accounting controls and
computer systems relative to the servicing of the Pledged Contracts and that, on
the basis of such examination, such firm is of the opinion that (assuming the
accuracy of reports by the Servicer and third party agents) the system of
internal accounting controls in effect on the date of such statement relating to
servicing procedures in connection with the Pledged Contracts performed by the
Servicer, taken as a whole, was sufficient for the prevention and detection of
material errors and material irregularities; and (ii) compared the mathematical
calculations of each amount set forth in the Servicer's Settlement Reports for
each Calculation Period in the preceding twelve-month period with the computer
records of the Servicer, and that such firm is of the opinion that such amounts

terms of the Collection Account Agreement, and absent further instructions
to the Collection Account Bank to the contrary from the Deal Agent (which
instructions the Deal Agent may give at any time), permit the Servicer to
make withdrawals or order transfers of funds from the Collection Account,
in all events in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.06 and

Servicer shall be entitled on a daily basis (absent further instructions to
the Collection Account Bank to the contrary from the Deal Agent (which
instructions the Deal Agent may give at any time)) to direct the Collection
Account Bank to make withdrawals or order transfers of funds from the
Collection Account, to the extent such funds either (A) have been
mistakenly deposited into the Collection Account (including, without
limitation, funds representing Assessments or dues payable by Obligors to
property owners' associations or other entities), or (B) relate to items
subsequently returned for insufficient funds or as a result of stop
payments. In the case of any withdrawal or transfer pursuant to the
foregoing sentence, the Servicer shall
provide the Deal Agent with notice of such withdrawal or transfer, together
with reasonable supporting details, on the next Settlement Report to be
delivered by the Servicer following the date of such withdrawal or transfer
(or in such earlier written notice as may be requested by the Deal Agent
from the Servicer from time to time). Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Deal Agent shall be entitled on a daily basis to direct
the Collection Account Bank to make withdrawals or order transfers of funds
from the Collection Account, in the amount of all reasonable and
appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Deal Agent in
connection with any misdirected funds described in clause (A) of the second
foregoing sentence, which costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations
hereunder.
(b) Application Prior to Liquidation Trigger Date. All funds in the
Collection Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, the Deal Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders and, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.06(d) below with respect to all periods from and
---------------
after the Liquidation Trigger Date, shall be used on each day solely for the
following purposes and in the following order of priority:
(i) If such day is a Settlement Date, provided that no Servicer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to repay to the Servicer the
amount of any unpaid Servicer Advances with respect to formerly Delinquent
Contracts to the extent identified by the Servicer in the relevant
Settlement Report as having been recovered from the relevant Obligor during
the most recently concluded Calculation Period and paid into the Collection
Account;
(ii) To pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans (including in any
such amount, the accrued and unpaid CP Dealer Fee then outstanding) then
due and payable and any other Carrying Costs (excluding the Servicing Fee
so long as the Servicer is FAC or another Affiliated of FCI) which are then
due and payable;
(iii) To be retained in the Collection Account to the extent of any
accrued and unpaid Carrying Costs (excluding the Servicing Fee so long as
the Servicer is FAC or another Affiliate of FCI) which are not then due and
payable;
(iv) If such day is a Settlement Date (or in the discretion of the
Borrower, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Settlement Date),
to make any mandatory repayments of the Loans as required in Section
-------
2.07(b);
-------
(v) If such day is a Settlement Date, to remit to the Spread Account
to the extent of any Spread Account Shortfall then in effect;
(vi) If such day is a Settlement Date, to pay any other Obligations
which may be due and payable at such time;
(vii) To pay Servicing Fees which are then due and payable;

Servicer, to be remitted to the Borrower for any purposes not otherwise
prohibited by this Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, (A) the
payment of outstanding amounts of accrued interest and principal then due
and payable under the Subordinated Note (or the prepayment of outstanding
amounts of principal then outstanding under the Subordinated Note), (B) the
payment of any Dividend to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.02(r) hereof, (C) the payment of any and all tax obligations (and
---------------
imputed tax obligations) then due and payable by the Borrower, and (D)
interest on Pledged Contracts which was accrued and unpaid on the Cutoff
Date relating thereto, but subsequently deposited into the Collection
Account; and
(x) To be retained in the Collection Account.
Each of the Borrower and the Servicer, in making any request for funds to be
withdrawn from the Collection Account (or, in the case of the Servicer, in
directing the withdrawal of funds from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 7.06(a) and in accordance with the terms of the Collection Account
----------------
Agreement), shall certify to each of the Deal Agent and the Collection Account
Bank that the funds will be used for one of the purposes described above in this
Section 7.06(b).
---------------
If, on any Business Day prior to the Liquidation Trigger Date, the funds on
deposit in the Collection Account and available for withdrawal under clause (ii)
-----------
above are less than the amount of the obligations described in such clause, such
available funds shall be allocated in the priority set forth in Section 7.06(c)
---------------
below; if, on any such Business Day, the funds on deposit in the Collection

Collection Account and available under clause (ii) of Section 7.06(b) are
------------ ----------------
insufficient to pay all Carrying Costs (excluding the Servicing Fee so long as
the Servicer is FAC or another Affiliate of FCI) which are then due and payable,
such funds shall be applied to the Carrying Costs (excluding the Servicing Fee
so long as the Servicer is FAC or another Affiliate of FCI) in the following
order of priority:

any such amount, the accrued and unpaid CP Dealer Fee then outstanding)

same are due or past due.
If, on any such Business Day, the funds on deposit in the Collection Account and
available for withdrawal under any of clauses (i) (ii), or (v) above are less
------- --- ---- ---
than the amount of the due and unpaid obligations described in such clause, such
available funds shall be allocated to the Persons to whom such obligations are
owed ratably according to the respective amounts owed.
(d) Application After Liquidation Trigger Date. On each Business Day from
and after the Liquidation Trigger Date, notwithstanding anything herein or
elsewhere to the contrary, funds shall be withdrawn on any day from the
Collection Account solely upon direction of the Deal Agent to be used solely for
the following purposes and in the following order of priority:
(i) To pay any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee then due and payable
(together with any accrued and unpaid additional compensation then due and
payable to a Successor Servicer as agreed to between the Deal Agent and the
Successor Servicer in accordance with Section 11.02(c)), and to be retained
----------------
in the Collection Account to the extent such fee (or such additional
compensation) is accrued but not then due and payable (if the Servicer is a
Person other than any of FCI, FAC or the Borrower, or any Affiliate of any
thereof);

and payable, and to be retained in the Collection Account to the extent

of all of the foregoing Obligations, and other obligations, fees and
expenses, shall, at the direction of the Deal Agent, be remitted to the
Borrower or as otherwise required by law.
If, on any such Business Day, the funds on deposit in the Collection Account and
available for withdrawal under any of clauses (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii),

----
described in such clause, such available funds shall be allocated to the Persons

owed.
SECTION 7.07. Spread Account.
--------------
(a) (i) On or prior to the Effective Restatement Date, the Borrower shall
establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and
their respective assigns, a cash collateral account (the "Spread Account"). The
--------------
Spread Account shall be a special purpose segregated account, designated as the
"Fairfield Deal Agent Spread Account", maintained either (A) with Fleet or a
Depository Institution which is an Eligible Depository Institution, or (B) in a
segregated trust account in the trust department of a Depository Institution,
and shall be under the sole dominion and control of, and in the name of, the
Deal Agent. In the event that the Spread Account Bank ceases to satisfy the
requirements set forth in clause (A) above, and such funds therein are not
immediately thereafter transferred to a segregated trust account as provided in
clause (B) above, the Deal Agent shall be entitled to terminate the Spread
Account and the Spread Account Agreement, and transfer all funds and investments
held therein to a new Spread Account at an Eligible Depository Institution,
subject to a new Spread Account Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Deal Agent.
(ii) All funds held in the Spread Account, including investment earnings
thereon, may be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the
Servicer; provided, however, that (A) upon written notice from the Deal Agent to
-------- -------
the Spread Account Bank, the Deal Agent shall have the sole right to restrict
the maturities of any Permitted Investments held in the Spread Account, and (B)
from and after the date after the Liquidation Trigger Date on any date on which
there are no remaining available funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the
Deal Agent shall have the sole right to direct the withdrawal or liquidation of
any such Permitted Investments to be used solely for the purposes and in the
applicable order of priority set forth at Section 7.06(d) hereof.
---------------
(b) The Borrower shall cause the Spread Account to be funded, at any time,
in the amount of the Spread Account Requirement then in effect.
(c) The Deal Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to withdraw or
order a transfer of funds from the Spread Account, in all events in accordance
with the terms and provisions of Section 7.06 and this Section 7.07, and the
------------ -------------
information most recently delivered to the Deal Agent pursuant to Section 6.01;
------------
provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, on each
-------- -------
Business Day next succeeding a Settlement Date, the Servicer shall instruct the
Spread Account Bank to transfer from the Spread Account to the Servicer (or
otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) an amount of
funds held in the Spread Account which shall in no event be greater than the
excess (if any) on such Business Day (the "Spread Account Excess") of the then
-----------------------
outstanding balance of available funds held in the Spread Account over the
Spread Account Requirement in effect as of the opening of Business on such
Business Day (after giving effect to all transactions and fund transfers
required to take place hereunder pursuant on the next preceding Settlement
Date). Any amount so transferred shall constitute an additional Servicing Fee
paid to the Servicer, and shall not decrease the amount of any Servicing Fee
otherwise payable to the Servicer in accordance with Section 9.09. The Servicer,
------------
in making any such instructions for the transfer of funds from the Spread
Account, shall simultaneously provide each of the Deal Agent and the Spread
Account Bank with a certificate of a Servicing Officer as to the existence and
size of any Spread Account Excess.
(d) On each Business Day from and after a Liquidation Trigger Date, the
Deal Agent shall have the sole right to direct the Spread Account Bank to
withdraw all or any portion of the funds on deposit the Spread Account for
transfer to the Collection Account, to be used solely for the purposes and in
the applicable order of priority set forth at Section 7.06(d) hereof.
---------------
(e) Any funds remaining in the Spread Account after the later of the
Termination Date and the final payment, in full and in cash, of all of the
Obligations outstanding
hereunder shall, at the direction of the Deal Agent, be remitted to the Borrower
or as otherwise required by law.
(f) The taxpayer identification number associated with the Spread Account
shall be that of the Borrower and the Borrower will report for federal, state
and local income tax purposes the income, if any, earned on funds in the Spread
Account.
SECTION 7.08. Accounts, Generally. Any deposit made into any of the
--------------------
Lock-Box Accounts, the Collection Account or the Spread Account hereunder shall
be irrevocable, and shall be held in such account in trust by the Deal Agent
hereunder, together with all interest thereon, and applied solely as provided
herein.
SECTION 7.09. Rights of Obligors and Release of Contract Files.
------------------------------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Credit Agreement,
including the Collateral Agent's remedies pursuant hereto and pursuant to the
Collateral Agency Agreement, the rights of any Obligor to any Lot or VOI subject
to a Pledged Contract shall, so long as such Obligor is not in default
thereunder, be superior to those of the Collateral Agent and the holder of a
Lender Note hereunder, and the Collateral Agent and the holder of a Lender Note
shall not, so long as such Obligor is not in default thereunder, interfere with
such Obligor's use and enjoyment of the Lot or VOI subject thereto.
(b) If pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent
shall acquire through foreclosure the Borrower's interest in any portion of the
Lot or VOI subject to a Pledged Contract, the Collateral Agent hereby
specifically agrees to release or cause to be released any Lot or VOI from any
Lien of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, or the Lenders upon the request of
the Obligor (including such Obligor's heirs, successors and assigns) to the
Pledged Contract, upon completion of all payments and the performance of all the
terms and conditions required to be made and performed by such Obligor under
such Pledged Contract, and each of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent and each
of the Lenders hereby consents to any such release by, or at the direction of,
the Collateral Agent.
(c) At such time as an Obligor has paid in full the purchase price or the
requisite percentage of the purchase price for deeding pursuant to a Pledged
Contract and has otherwise fully discharged all of such Obligor's obligations
and responsibilities required to be discharged as a condition to deeding, the
Servicer shall notify the Collateral Agent by a certificate substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I (which certificate shall include a statement
---------
to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment have
been deposited in the Collection Account) of a Servicing Officer and shall
request delivery to it from the Custodian of the related Contract Files. Upon
receipt of such certificate and request or at such earlier time as is required
by applicable law, the Collateral Agent (i) shall be deemed, without the
necessity of taking any action, to have approved release by the Custodian of the
Contract Files to the Servicer (in all cases in accordance with the provisions
of the Custodial Agreement), (ii) shall be deemed to approve the release by the
Nominee of the related deed of title, and any documents and records maintained
in connection therewith, to the Obligor as provided in the Title Clearing
Agreement, provided that title to the VOI or Lot has not already been deeded to
the Obligor, and/or (iii) shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer
and assignment and take such other action as is necessary to release its
interest in the VOI or Lot subject to deeding (in the case of any Pledged
Contract which has been paid in full). If a deed has been delivered to an
Obligor and such Obligor's obligations and responsibilities are not fully
discharged, the Servicer shall cause such Obligor to execute a Mortgage in favor
of FCI encumbering the related VOI or Lot, each of FCI, FAC and the Borrower
shall cause such Mortgage to be promptly collaterally assigned to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to one or more Assignments of Mortgage (each such Mortgage
constituting additional Collateral granted by the Borrower hereunder), and the
Servicer shall, promptly following the execution of each such Assignment of
Mortgage cause each such Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded in all proper
offices; provided that no such Assignment of Mortgage shall be required to be
filed with respect to VOIs or Lots located in Developments in the State of
Florida. The Servicer shall cause each Contract File or any document therein so
released which relates to a Pledged Contract for which the Obligor's obligations
have not been fully discharged to be returned to the Custodian for the sole
benefit of the Collateral Agent when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists.
SECTION 7.10. Recordation of Assignments. The Servicer shall, on or prior
--------------------------
to each Contract Grant Date, cause to be recorded in the proper offices all
Assignments of Mortgages relating to Mortgages Granted to the Collateral Agent
on such date, to the extent that the related VOIs or Lots are located in
Developments in any State other than Florida.
SECTION 7.11. Releases.
--------
(a) Subject to Section 7.11(d), the Borrower shall, prior to the occurrence
---------------
of a Liquidation Trigger Date
(i) cause the release of any Pledged Contract from the Primary Lien of
this Credit Agreement by making all of the payments and allocations
required to be made under Section 7.06(b) on the first Settlement Date (the
---------------
"Notice Settlement Date") occurring after the Borrower or the Servicer has
-----------------------
become aware, or has received written notice from the Deal Agent, of any
uncured breach with respect to such Pledged Contract of a representation or
warranty of the Borrower in any of Sections 4.01(y), 4.02 or 4.03 or which
---------------- ---- ----
becomes a Canceled Contract pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of
Canceled Contract (each such Pledged Contract, a "Defective Contract" and
-------------------
each such date on which a release occurs, a "Defective Contract Release
----------------------------
Date"); and
----
(ii) cause either of FAC or FCI to, simultaneously with such release,
satisfy its corresponding repurchase obligations under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement in respect of such Defective Contract;
provided, that all of the payments and allocations required to be made under
--------
Section 7.06(b) on a Notice Settlement Date shall be made on the basis of a
----------------
Borrowing Base calculation which gives effect to the status of all Pledged
Contracts which became "Defective Contracts" prior to such Notice Settlement
Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Pledged Contract incorrectly
-------- -------
described on the Contract Schedule only with respect to its Principal Balance as
of the initial Cut-Off Date, which the Borrower would otherwise be required to
effect the release of pursuant to this Section 7.11(a), the Borrower may, in
----------------
lieu of effecting the release of such Pledged Contract, deposit in the
Collection Account on the Business Day next preceding the relevant
Notice Settlement Date, cash in an amount sufficient to cure such deficiency or
discrepancy. The following defects with respect to documents in any Contract
File, to the extent they do not impair the validity or enforceability of the
subject document under applicable law, shall not be deemed to constitute a
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.02:
-------------
misspellings of or omissions of initials in names; name changes from divorce or
marriage; discrepancies as to payment dates in a Contract of no more than 30
days; discrepancies as to Payments of no more than $5.00; discrepancies as to
origination dates of not more than 30 days; inclusion of additional parties
other than the primary Obligor not listed in the Servicer's records or in the
Contract Schedule and non-substantive typographical errors and other
non-substantive minor errors of a clerical or administrative nature.
(b) Subject to Section 7.11(d), in the event that any Pledged Contract
----------------
becomes a Defaulted Contract at any time after the Contract Grant Date for such
Contract, the Borrower shall, prior to the occurrence of the Liquidation Trigger
Date, on the first Settlement Date on which such Pledged Contract constitutes a
Defaulted Contract, cause such Defaulted Contract to be released from the
Primary Lien of this Credit Agreement by making all of the payments and
allocations required to be made under Section 7.06(b) on such Settlement Date (a
---------------
"Defaulted Contract Release Date"); provided, that all of the payments and
---------------------------------- --------
allocations required to be made under Section 7.06(b) on such Settlement Date
----------------
shall be made on the basis of a Borrowing Base calculation which gives effect to
the status of all Pledged Contracts which became "Defaulted Contracts" prior to
such Settlement Date.
(c) Subject to Section 7.11(d), in the event that, as of any Determination
---------------
Date,
(i) the Excess Concentration Reserve is greater than zero, prior to
the occurrence of the Liquidation Trigger Date, the Borrower shall (A)
prior to the next succeeding Settlement Date, identify (by reference to the
Contract Schedule) or cause the Servicer to identify to the Collateral
Agent, in writing, Pledged Contracts of a type or types the inclusion of
which in the Contract Pool has given rise to the existence of such Excess
Concentration Reserve (which Contracts shall consist of Pledged Contracts
which are identified by the Borrower on a basis which is not adverse to any
of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent or any of the Lenders, and in an
aggregate Principal Balance approximately equal to (but not greater than)
the amount of such Excess Concentration Reserve (collectively, the
"Overconcentration Contracts"), and (B) cause such Overconcentration
-----------------------------
Contracts to be released from the Primary Lien of this Credit Agreement by
making all of the payments and allocations required to be made under
Section 7.06(b) on such Settlement Date (an "Overconcentration Contract
---------------- ---------------------------
Release Date"); provided, that all of the payments and allocations required
------------ --------
to be made under Section 7.06(b) on such Settlement Date shall be made on
----------------
the basis of a Borrowing Base calculation which gives effect to the
subtraction of the Excess Concentration Reserve from the Borrowing Base on
the Settlement Date; or
(ii) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower
identifies Pledged Contracts (on a basis which is not adverse to any of the
Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent or any of the Lenders) the release of
which from the Contract Pool will not result in a Borrowing Base Shortfall,
O/C Shortfall or Spread Account Shortfall (the "Excess Collateral
Contracts"), such Excess Collateral Contracts shall be released on the
Settlement Date next succeeding such Determination Date (an "Excess
Contract Release Date") from the Primary Lien of the Credit Agreement in
accordance with Section 7.03(e) below; provided that all of the payments
---------------- --------
and allocations required to be made under Section 7.06(b) on such
----------------
Settlement Date shall be made on the basis of a Borrowing Base calculation
which gives effect to the removal of the Excess Collateral Contracts from
the Borrowing Base on the Settlement Date.
(d) Promptly after the occurrence of a Settlement Date constituting a
Defective Contract Release Date, a Defaulted Contract Release Date, an
Overconcentration Contract Release Date or an Excess Collateral Contract Release
Date, the Servicer shall delete the relevant Defective Contracts, Defaulted
Contracts or Overconcentration Contracts from the Contract Schedule and shall
notify the Deal Agent to do the same with respect to the records and any
computer files maintained by it; provided, however that in all events it shall
-------- -------
be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the release of any Pledged
Contract pursuant to Section 7.11(a), (b) or (c) that the Borrower shall have
---------------- --- ---
delivered or caused the Servicer to have delivered to the Deal Agent, on the
Business Day next succeeding such Settlement Date a certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit I hereto to the effect that (i) all of the payments and
---------
allocations required to be made under Section 7.06 on such Settlement Date from
------------
funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall have been made to the
appropriate Persons, in full and in cash; and (ii) after giving effect to all of
the payments and allocations required to be made under Section 7.06 on such
------------
Settlement Date, there is no Borrowing Base Shortfall, O/C Shortfall or Spread
Account Shortfall in existence. In connection with the release of a Defective
Contract, Defaulted Contract, an Overconcentration Contract or an Excess
Collateral Contract and the related Collateral hereunder, the Collateral Agent
hereby appoints the Servicer as its agent and attorney-in-fact (which
appointment shall be evidenced by a recorded power of attorney in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J, which pursuant to its terms is revocable at the
---------
option of the Collateral Agent upon written notice to the Servicer) to execute
all documents necessary to evidence such release.
(e) In connection with each release pursuant to Section 7.11(a), (b), or
---------------- ---
(c), and upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
--- -------
7.11(d), the Collateral Agent shall automatically and without further action be
-------
deemed to consent to the transfer and assignment by Borrower to Servicer,
without recourse, representation or warranty, of all the right, title and
interest of Borrower in and to any Defective Contract, Defaulted Contract,
Overconcentration Contract, Excess Collateral Contract or any other Collateral
released pursuant to the terms thereof (including the interest in the underlying
VOI or Lot), and all monies thereafter due or to become due with respect
thereto, and all proceeds thereof and following such transfer and assignment by
Borrower, Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have such interest in the released
Collateral as is set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement. The Collateral
Agent shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and
take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to
effect the conveyance of such released Collateral pursuant to this subsection.
(f) The obligation of the Borrower to effect the release of any Defective
Contract shall constitute the sole remedy hereunder in respect of any breach of
the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.01(y), 4.02, or 4.03
---------------- ---- ----
available hereunder to the Collateral Agent on behalf of itself, the Deal Agent,
the Managing Agents and the Lenders;
provided, however, that this provision shall not limit in any way any rights of
-------- -------
any of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, the Managing Agent or any Lender
(i) arising under Article XI, (ii) against any Person other than the Borrower,
----------
or (iii) in respect of any decrease in the Borrowing Base as a result of a
Pledged Contract becoming a Defective Contract.
(g) In the event the Deal Agent and the Managing Agents approve the sale of
Pledged Contracts pursuant to Section 5.02(a), Collateral Agent shall,
----------------
simultaneously with the consummation of such sale, execute such documents and
instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall
reasonably be requested by the Borrower, the Deal Agent or any Managing Agent to
effect the conveyance of such Collateral to the purchaser thereof free and clear
of the Primary Lien; provided however, that the proceeds of any such sale shall
be applied in accordance with Section 7.06 hereof.
------------
SECTION 7.12. Remarketing Obligations.
-----------------------
(a) FCI's Obligations. In the event that either (x) the Borrower fails to
------------------
effect, within one Business Day after a Settlement Date prior to which the
Borrower or the Servicer has become aware (or otherwise received written notice)
that any Pledged Contract has become a Defective Contract or a Defaulted
Contract, the release of such Pledged Contract from the Primary Lien of this
Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of any of Sections 7.01(a), (b), and (c),
---------------- --- ---
and Section 7.01(d), or (y) a Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract, a Defective
---------------
Contract or an Overconcentration Contract at any time after the earlier of (1)
the Liquidation Trigger Date, or (2) the Termination Date if either a Borrowing
Base Shortfall, O/C Shortfall or a Spread Account Shortfall is in existence
(based upon the Settlement Report prepared for the most recently ended
Calculation Period):
(i) the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the
applicable Contract, at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer, enforce
the Borrower's rights and remedies against, and realize upon and obtain on
behalf of the Borrower, subject in all events to the Primary Lien, all of
the relevant Obligor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
related VOI or Lot (including, without limitation, such Obligor's right to
possess the related VOI or Lot) without any legal or judicial process
(except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or pursuant to
the terms of such Contract),
(ii) FCI shall exercise its best efforts, at its sole cost and
expense, to (A) assist the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
described under clause (i) above, and (B) remarket the VOI or Lot relating
to such Defective Contract or Defaulted Contract pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Remarketing Agreement, and
(iii) the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to submit such VOI or Lot to
the remarketing procedures described in the Remarketing Agreement, and, at
the sole cost and expense of FCI, to take any and all other reasonable
actions as may be reasonably requested by FCI under the terms of the
Remarketing Agreement in order to facilitate the remarketing of such VOI or
Lot.
(b) Effect on Other Provisions of this Agreement. Each Remarketed Contract
--------------------------------------------
transferred pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement by FCI and FAC to the
Borrower, and
Granted pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement by the Borrower to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of itself, the Deal Agent and the Lenders shall be a
"Pledged Contract", and shall therefore constitute part of the "Contract Pool"
for purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Facility Documents and each
reference to Pledged Contracts transferred "under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement" or Granted hereunder (or words of similar effect) shall include
Remarketed Contracts so transferred or Granted pursuant to the Remarketing
Agreement; provided that the effect of the foregoing clause is specifically
--------
qualified to the extent specifically set forth below:
(i) The Eligible Contract Pool Principal Balance shall be determined
without giving effect to the existence of Remarketed Contracts. For
purposes of determining whether or not a Remarketed Contract constitutes an
"Eligible Contract" for any other purposes of this Credit Agreement
(including, by way of example and not limitation, in order to determine
whether or not the representation set forth in Section 4.02(a) has been
----------------
breached with respect to a Remarketed Contract), the definition of Eligible
Contract shall be deemed not to include clauses (f) or (u) thereof.
(ii) For the purposes of this Credit Agreement, the applicable
"Cut-Off Date" of a Remarketed Contract shall be the date of such
Contract's origination by FCI.
In addition, promptly after the Grant of any Remarketed Contract to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, the
Servicer shall add such Remarketed Contract to the Contract Schedule and shall
notify the Collateral Agent to do the same with respect to the records and any
computer file maintained by it.

enforce any of its rights hereunder or under its Loans or Lender Notes, and such
other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the

Agent is designated as Servicer pursuant to Section 11.02) or any other
--------------
agreement executed pursuant hereto, except for its or their own negligence or

Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any
Originator or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who
may do business with or own securities of the Borrower, any Originator or any
Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if FRSI were not the Deal
Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Borrower, any Originator,
any Obligor, any Lender or any Liquidity Provider.
(b) Each Managing Agent and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator or Obligor, any of
their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of the Servicer, any Originator or Obligor or any of their respective
Affiliates, all as if such Managing Agent were not a Managing Agent and without
any duty to account therefor to the any Originator or Obligor, the Borrower, or
the Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Resignation of the Deal Agent. The Deal Agent may resign as
-----------------------------
Deal Agent hereunder at any time by giving not less than five (5) Business Days'
prior written notice to each Managing Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the
Custodian, such resignation to be effective on the earlier of (i) the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Deal Agent as provided below and (ii)
the 30th day following delivery of such notice. Upon any such resignation, the
Majority Managing Agents shall appoint a financial institution of their choosing
as Deal Agent. If a successor Deal Agent shall not have been so appointed prior
to the date set forth in (ii) above, the Deal Agent, with the consent of the
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall then appoint
a successor Deal Agent who shall serve as Deal Agent hereunder or thereunder
until such time, if any, as the Majority Managing Agents appoint a successor
Deal Agent as provided above. Following the appointment of a successor Deal
Agent and such successor Deal Agent's acceptance thereof, such successor Deal
Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the resigning Deal Agent as Deal Agent hereunder, and the
resigning Deal Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Deal
Agent hereunder. After the Deal Agent's resignation, the provisions of this

------------------------------------------
(a) The Servicer shall manage, administer, service and make collections on
the Pledged Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all contractual and
customary undertakings of the holder of the Contracts to the Obligors, on behalf
of the Lenders, the Deal Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower (provided
--------
that nothing herein or in any of the other Facility Documents shall constitute,
or be deemed to constitute, an acceptance or assumption on the part of any of
the Lenders, the Deal Agent or the Collateral Agent of any obligations arising
under the Contracts whatsoever, whether in favor of the Obligor thereof or any
other Person). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to
all other provisions hereof, the Servicer may request a power of attorney from
the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall grant to the Servicer a
limited power of attorney in the form of that given FCI by the Nominee under the
Title Clearing Agreements (and revocable at any time at the option of the
Collateral Agent by telephonic notice to the Servicer), executed and delivered
by the Collateral Agent to the Servicer, to execute and deliver and be
authorized and empowered by the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or
discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Contracts,
any Mortgages and the VOIs and Lots, but only to the extent deemed useful or
necessary by the Servicer.
(b) The Collateral Agent, at the request of a Servicing Officer, shall
furnish the Servicer with any reasonable documents or take any action reasonably
requested, which is necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. FAC is hereby appointed the
Servicer until such time as any Servicer Transfer shall be effected under
Article XI.
----------
SECTION 9.02. Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing and
----------------
making collections on the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer
will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with Customary Practices
and the Credit Standards and Collection Policies.
SECTION 9.03. Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer
-------
hereunder, maintain such books of account, computer data files and other Records
as will enable the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent to determine the status
of each Pledged Contract and will enable each Pledged Contract to be serviced,
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, by a Successor Servicer
following a Service Transfer.
SECTION 9.04. Inspection.
----------
(a) Inspection of Servicer. Each of the Borrower, the Deal Agent, each Deal
----------------------
Co-Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Managing Agent and their
respective representatives shall at all times upon reasonable prior notice have
full and reasonable access during regular business hours to all offices and
Records of the Servicer, and in the event that the Servicer is FAC, of FCI
(wheresoever located, including, without limitation, any repository used by the
Servicer on the Borrower's behalf, to store the computer tapes constituting the
Servicer's Daily Report), as appropriate to verify the Servicer's (and FCI's)
compliance with this Agreement, and each of the Borrower, each Lender, each
Managing Agent, the Deal Agent, each Deal Co-Agent and the Collateral Agent and
their representatives may examine and audit the same, and make photocopies and
computer tape replicas thereof, and each of the Servicer and FCI agrees to
render to the Borrower, each Lender, each Managing Agent, the Deal Agent, each
Deal Co-Agent and the Collateral Agent and their representatives, at the
Servicer's or FCI's sole cost and expense, respectively, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Borrower,
each Lender, each Managing Agent, the Deal Agent, each Deal Co-Agent and the
Collateral Agent and their respective representatives shall also have the right
to discuss the Servicer's and FCI's affairs with the officers of the Servicer
and FCI and the Servicer's and FCI's independent accountants and to verify under
appropriate procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value and
condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. The number and
frequency of any such audits shall be limited to such number and frequency as
shall be reasonable in the exercise of the Collateral Agent's reasonable
commercial judgment; provided, however, that in no event shall the number and
-------- -------
frequency of any such audits exceed (x) in respect of the Deal Agent and the
Collateral Agent, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, two per year,
and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, as determined by the Deal Agent
and the Collateral Agent and (y) in respect of the Managing Agents and the Deal
Co-Agents, one per year. In the case of the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent,
each such audit shall be at the expense of the Borrower, and in the case of the
Managing Agents and the Deal Co-Agents, a maximum of $10,000 for each such audit
shall be at the expense of the Borrower (in all cases subject to the Borrower's
right under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to
recover such expenses from the Seller). In connection with all inspections
performed under this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Deal Agent, the
Lenders, the Managing Agents, the Deal Co-Agents and the Collateral Agent shall
use reasonable efforts to coordinate the staffing and timing of such
investigations in order to minimize the cost and expense thereof. Upon the
completion of any audit by or on behalf of the Deal Agent, the Deal Agent shall
provide copies of the results thereof to each Managing Agent and Deal Co-Agent.
(b) Confidential Information. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, to
-------------------------
the extent that any information obtained by any of the Lenders, the Managing
Agents, the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent or any of their respective
representatives pursuant to Section 9.04(a) shall be Confidential Information,
---------------
such Person may only disclose such Confidential Information to (i) such Person's
and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and
professional consultants, (ii) any assignee or participant, or proposed assignee
or participant with respect to all or any part of such Person's interests with
respect to all or any part of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Facility Documents, (iv) any governmental or quasi-governmental authority
having jurisdiction over such Person, (v) any rating agency, (vi) any credit
enhancer, provider of reinsurance, provider of a letter of credit or provider of
liquidity, or prospective credit enhancer, provider of reinsurance, provider of
a letter of credit or provider of liquidity with respect to all or any part of
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Facility Documents, (viii)
any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or
appropriate (A) in compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable
to such Person (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (C) in
connection with any litigation to which such Person is or may become a party,
(D) in order to protect such Person's rights, title and interest in and to the
Collateral and in the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Facility
Documents, or (E) as required by law or regulation in connection with the sale
of securities of any such Person.
(c) Contract Schedule. At all times during the term hereof, promptly upon
-----------------
the request of the Deal Agent or the Collateral Agent, deliver an updated copy
of the Contract Schedule to the Deal Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case
may be.
SECTION 9.05. Enforcement.
-----------
(a) The Servicer will, consistent with Section 9.02, act with respect to
------------
the Pledged Contracts in such manner as will maximize the receipt of Collections
in respect of such Pledge Contracts.
(b) The Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon Pledged Contracts, in
its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Borrower. If the Servicer elects
to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Pledged Contract, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Pledged
Contract to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not
enforce a Pledged Contract on the grounds that it is not a real party in
interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Pledged Contract, the Collateral
Agent (or its designee) on behalf of the Borrower shall, at the Servicer's
expense, take such steps as the Servicer and the Collateral Agent may mutually
agree are necessary to enforce the Pledged Contract, including bringing suit in
its name
or the name of the Borrower. The Servicer shall provide to the Collateral Agent
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred thereby.
(c) The Servicer, upon obtaining the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent, may grant to the Obligor on any Pledged Contract any rebate,
refund or adjustment out of the Collection Account that the Servicer in good
faith believes is required as a matter of law; provided that, on any Business
Day on which such rebate, refund or adjustment is to be paid hereunder, such
rebate, refund or adjustment shall only be paid to the extent of funds otherwise
available for distribution from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
-------
7.06(b)(x) or the proviso of Section 7.06(d)(xii), as applicable.
---------- --------------------
(d) The Servicer will not permit any modification, amendment, waiver,
rescission or cancellation of any Pledged Contract by the Obligor, whether for
any reason relating to a negative change in the related Obligor's
creditworthiness or inability to make any payment under the Pledged Contract or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent; provided,
--------
however, that the following modifications may be made to a Pledged Contract from
-------
time to time: (i) extensions which are Permitted Deferrals, (ii) amendments,
entered into in accordance with Customary Practices and Credit Standards and
Collections Policies, which do not reduce the amount or extend the maturity of
required Payments and (iii) modifications in the applicability of a PAC (which
modification will, among other things, result in a change in the relevant
Contract Rate).
SECTION 9.06. Collateral Agent to Cooperate. Upon request of a Servicing
------------------------------
Officer, but subject to all other provisions hereof, the Collateral Agent shall
perform such other acts as are reasonably requested by the Servicer (including,
without limitation, the execution of documents) and otherwise cooperate with the
Servicer upon the reasonable request of the Servicer in enforcement of rights
and remedies of each of the Lenders, the Managing Agents, the Collateral Agent
and the Deal Agent with respect to Pledged Contracts.
SECTION 9.07. Other Matters Relating to the Servicer. The Servicer is
-----------------------------------------
hereby authorized and empowered (a) to make withdrawals from time to time from
the Collection Account when specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of
Section 7.06 and the Collection Account Agreement, but only to the extent that
------------
the Deal Agent has not otherwise instructed the Collection Account Bank in
accordance with the terms hereof and of the Collection Account Agreement, (b) to
advise the Deal Agent in connection with the amount of permitted withdrawals
from the Collection Account and the Spread Account in accordance with the
provisions hereof, (c) to the extent permitted pursuant to the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Borrower,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Pledged Contracts and, after the delinquency of any Pledged Contract and to the
extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to
commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Pledged Contract
including, without limitation, the exercise of rights under any
power-of-attorney granted in any Pledged Contract and (d) to make any filings,
reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and to seek any
authorization from the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state
securities authority on behalf of the Borrower as may be necessary or advisable
to comply with any federal or state securities or reporting requirements laws.
SECTION 9.08. Servicer Insurance Coverage. The Servicer shall maintain, and
---------------------------
shall cause FCI to maintain, separate errors and omissions coverage insuring the
Collateral Agent's, the Deal Agent's and the Lenders' respective risks against
loss through errors of the Servicer's, the Borrower's or FCI's officers and
employees involved in the servicing of Contracts covering such actions and in an
amount no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and naming the Deal Agent for the
benefit of itself, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, as a loss payee. The
Servicer shall also maintain, and shall cause FCI to maintain, a separate
fidelity bond coverage insuring the Collateral Agent's, the Deal Agent's, and
the Lenders' respective risks against losses through wrongdoing of the
Servicer's or FCI's officers and employees involved in the servicing of
Contracts covering such actions and in an amount no less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence and naming the Deal Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Collateral
Agent and the Lenders, as an additional loss payee. Each such insurance policy
required pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall provide for written notice to the
------------
Deal Agent by the insurer at least 30 days prior to the cancellation of such
insurance. Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Deal Agent and each Managing
Agent of all renewals or replacements necessary to maintain such insurance from
time to time in force shall be delivered by the Servicer to the Deal Agent and
each Managing Agent prior to the expiration date of the then current insurance
policy.
SECTION 9.09. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing
-----------------------
activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, on the
Settlement Date next succeeding the end of each Calculation Period (the
"Servicing Fee Payment Date"), the servicing fee (the "Servicing Fee") which
--------------------------- --------------
shall be equal to (a) one twelfth the product of 1.00% times the Contract Pool
Principal Balance determined as of the end of such Calculation Period plus (b)
----
the Borrower's proportionate share of the fees and expenses payable to the
Custodian under the Custodial Agreement.
SECTION 9.10. Costs and Expenses.
------------------
(a) The costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its
duties hereunder, including without limitation the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement of Pledged Contracts, shall be paid by the
Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder.
(b) The Servicer agrees to pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in
connection with the perfection and maintenance of perfection, as against all
third parties, of all of the right, title and interest of each of the Collateral
Agent, the Deal Agent and each Lender, in and to the Collateral to the extent
that such payments and disbursements are not made by the Borrower in accordance
with Section 7.03.

principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(e) No Litigation. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or,

------------
the Grant of Pledged Contracts to the Collateral Agent. Upon a discovery by the
Borrower, the Servicer or the Collateral Agent of a material breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other such parties and the Deal Agent.

to such Contract, in the case of a Pledged Contract formerly subject
to a PAC or Credit Card Account,
but in no event later than the then next succeeding due date for Payment
under the related Pledged Contract, to remit Payments thereunder to a Post

----------------------
Managing Agent and the Collateral Agent at least 30 days prior written notice of
any relocation of any office from which it services Contracts or keeps records
concerning the Pledged Contracts or of its principal place of business and chief
executive office and whether, as a result of such relocation, the applicable
provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any
previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement and shall file such financing statement or amendments as may be
necessary to continue the perfection of the Collateral Agent's security

FCI hereunder that the Deal Agent or any other Person shall have first made

from, or to notify or file with, any governmental authority or regulatory
body, which authorization, approval, notification or filing was required in
connection with the performance of the obligations of FAC or FCI hereunder
or (I) any impossibility or impracticability of performance, illegality,
force majeure, any act of government, or other circumstances which might
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the FAC Servicer
Obligations or any of FCI's obligations hereunder, or any other
circumstance, event or happening whatsoever whether foreseen or unforeseen
and whether similar to or dissimilar to anything referred to above, or (J)
any termination of FAC as Servicer, and appointment of a Successor
Servicer.
(iv) FCI hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of default by
FAC, notice of the incurrence of any FAC Servicer Obligations and any other
notice with respect to any of the FAC Servicer Obligations and the Facility
Documents and any other document related thereto. FCI hereby warrants that
its has adequate means to obtain from FAC on a continuing basis, all

under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of or against or
in payment of any or all of the FAC Servicer Obligations.

presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of or

on account of any subrogation rights at any time prior to the occurrence of
the events described in the preceding sentence, each and every amount so
paid will be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the
Deal Agent or the Lenders and forthwith be paid to the Deal Agent to be
credited and applied to the FAC Servicer Obligations to the extent then
unsatisfied, in accordance with the terms of this letter of undertaking or
any document delivered in connection therewith.
(viii) The agreements of FCI in this Section 9.14(b) shall remain in
----------------
full force and effect until all of the FAC Servicer Obligations shall have

part thereof) is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential or set aside and required to be repaid to FAC, its estate,
trustee or receiver or any other Person, under any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such
repayment, the agreements of FCI hereunder in respect of such FAC Servicer
Obligations or part thereof which had been so repaid, shall be reinstated

transfer or deposit occurred.
(ix) FCI acknowledges that (i) performance of all of the terms
contained in this Section 9.14(b) is necessary, and (ii) substantial

performance shall not be deemed sufficient performance. In addition, FCI

the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines a breach of any of
its obligations hereunder to have occurred.

-------
9.14(b) to the contrary, FCI has the right under applicable law to revoke
-------
its obligations hereunder, this Credit Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect until a written revocation executed by FCI, specifically
referring to this Section 9.14(b), is received by the Deal Agent at its
----------------
address for notice set forth herein. Any such revocation shall not affect
the rights of any of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent or any Lender
hereunder with respect to any of the FAC Servicer Obligations (including
without limitation any FAC Servicer Obligations which are contingent or
unmatured) which arose on or prior to the date on which the
above-referenced revocation was received by the Deal Agent.

such Development (including, without limitation, all grounds, waters and
improvements thereon) in at least as good condition, repair and working
order as would be customary for prudent managers of similar time share
properties; and
(ii) with respect to Developments where FCI or any Subsidiary of FCI
does not maintain primary or substantial responsibility for management,
administration or other services of a similar nature, do or cause to be
done all things which it may accomplish with a reasonable amount of cost or
effort, consistent with its relationship (whether contractual or otherwise)
with the Person having such primary or substantial responsibility for
management, administration or other services), in order to maintain each

retain the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.03, the Deal Agent shall
--------------
continue to apply all distributions received on such Collateral in accordance
with Section 7.06. If the Deal Agent determines to retain the Collateral as
-------------
provided in this Section 10.03, such determination shall be deemed to be a
--------------
rescission and annulment (but not a waiver) of the aforementioned Event of

-------------
and annulment shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 10.04. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If any of the Collateral
----------------------------------
Agent, the Deal Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender has instituted any

determined adversely to such Person, then and in every such case the Borrower,
the Servicer, FCI, the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, such Managing Agent or
such Lender shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored

all rights and remedies of each of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, each
Managing Agent or each Lender shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.
SECTION 10.05. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of FCI, the Borrower

claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Facility
Documents to which it is a party; and each of FCI, the Borrower and the Servicer
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, on the basis of
any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 10.06. Sale of Collateral.
------------------
(a) The power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of any portion of the
----
Collateral pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or
-------------
more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall
continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all
amounts payable on the Obligations and otherwise under this Agreement with
respect thereto shall have been paid, whichever occurs later. The Collateral
Agent may from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the
time and place of such Sale.
(b) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the
Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof. In addition, the Collateral Agent
is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of each of the
Borrower and the Servicer to transfer and convey the Borrower's interest in any
portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all
action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such Sale
shall be bound to ascertain the Collateral Agent's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
monies.
SECTION 10.07. Recovery of Judgment. The Deal Agent's and the Collateral
--------------------
Agent's right to seek and recover judgment on the Obligations or otherwise under
this Credit Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or
with respect to this Credit Agreement. None of the rights or remedies of any of
the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender hereunder
or under any of the other Facility Documents shall be impaired by the recovery
of any judgment by any of the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, any Managing
Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or by the levy of any execution under
such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of
the Borrower.

applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or
instrument relating to such Debt; or any other default under any
agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt or any other event,

scheduled required prepayment) prior to the stated maturity thereof;
or (B) if the Servicer is FCI or an Affiliate of FCI, forty-five (45)

conduct its business in the ordinary course; or
(x) the Servicer shall fail to materially comply with the Credit
Standards and Collection Policies in the performance of its duties
hereunder;
(xi) the minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth shall at any
time be less than the sum of (A) $230,000,000 plus (B) on a cumulative

--------
Termination Notice"), may at the request and shall at the direction of the
------------------
Required Managing Agents, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement (such termination being
herein called a "Servicer Transfer"). After receipt by the Servicer of such
-----------------
Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this
Agreement shall pass to and be vested Successor Servicer appointed pursuant
to Section 11.02; and, without limitation, the Deal Agent is hereby
--------------
authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the
Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such transfer of servicing rights.
(b) If at any time Bank One shall (i) cease to be a party to the
Consolidated Credit Agreement or (ii) fail to agree to any waiver or amendment
to the Consolidated Credit Agreement, then the failure to satisfy any one of the
financial covenants set forth in Section 10 of the Consolidated Credit Agreement
----------
shall be a Servicer Default hereunder, with the same force and effect, as if set
forth in this Section 11.01 in its entirety.
-------------
(c) The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Deal Agent and such Successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service
the Pledged Contracts provided for under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, all authority over any Collections which shall on the date of
transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit or withdrawal in a Lock-Box Account
or the Collection Account or which shall thereafter be received by the Servicer

for the purpose of collecting payments on the Pledged Contracts made at such
premises. The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records relating
to the Pledged Contracts to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as
the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the
Successor Servicer all other records,
correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the
Pledged Contracts in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer
shall reasonably request. The Servicer shall allow the Successor Servicer access
to the Servicer's officers and employees. To the extent that compliance with
this Section 11.01 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor
--------------
Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer reasonably deems to be
confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such
customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem
necessary to protect its interest and as shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to the Successor Servicer. The Servicer hereby consents to the entry
against it of an order for preliminary, temporary or permanent injunctive relief
by any court of competent jurisdiction, to ensure compliance by the Servicer
with the provisions of this paragraph.
SECTION 11.02. Appointment of Successor.
------------------------
(a) Appointment. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer
-----------

-------------
the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.15, the Servicer shall continue to perform
------------
all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the
Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Deal Agent in writing
or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice, or
otherwise specified by the Deal Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer and the Deal Agent. The Deal Agent shall as promptly as possible after
the giving of a Termination Notice appoint a successor Servicer (in any case,
the "Successor Servicer") and such Successor Servicer shall accept its
--------------------
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Deal Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deal Agent shall, if it is unwilling or
legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint
any established financial institution having a net worth of not less than
$100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of receivables
similar to the Pledged Contracts or if no such institution is available, other
consumer finance receivables, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.
(b) Duties and Obligations of Successor Servicer. Upon its appointment, the
--------------------------------------------
Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with
respect to servicing functions under this Credit Agreement and shall be subject
to all the responsibilities and duties relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Credit Agreement
to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer.
(c) Compensation of Successor Servicer. In connection with such appointment
----------------------------------
and assumption, the Deal Agent may make such arrangements for the compensation
of the Successor Servicer out of Collections as it and such Successor Servicer
shall agree.
(d) Termination of Servicer's Authority. All authority and power granted to
-----------------------------------
any Successor Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and
terminate upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04, and
-------------
shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without limitation, the
Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and
other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights upon
termination of this Agreement. The Successor Servicer shall cooperate with the
Borrower in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on
the Pledged Contracts. The Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic
records relating to the Pledged Contracts to the Borrower in such electronic
form as the Borrower may reasonably request and shall transfer all other
records, correspondence and documents relating to the Pledged Contracts to the
Borrower in the manner and at such times as the Borrower shall reasonably
request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 11.02 shall require the
-------------
Successor Servicer to disclose the information of any kind which the Successor
Servicer deems to be confidential, the Borrower shall be required to enter into
such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Successor
Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests and as shall be
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Borrower.
SECTION 11.03. Certain Matters Affecting the Successor Servicer. The
----------------------------------------------------
Successor Servicer hereunder shall be entitled to the following rights,
remedies, and protections in carrying out its duties as Servicer hereunder: (a)
the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any act or omission in carrying
out its duties, in the absence of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct; (b) the Successor Servicer may rely on and be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting in accordance with any resolution, certificate,
letter, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent order,
appraisal, bond, or other document received by it which it has reason to believe
is genuine and signed or presented to it by a proper party; (c) the Successor
Servicer may consult with counsel, and any opinion from such counsel (so long as
such counsel is not an employee of the Successor Servicer or an Affiliate of the
Successor Servicer) shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Successor Servicer in
good faith in accordance with such opinion; and (d) the Successor Servicer shall
not be required to expend or risk its own funds for extraordinary expenses or
otherwise incur extraordinary financial liability in the performance of its
duties hereunder if it reasonably believes that the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it (which assurance shall be deemed to have been given by an unsecured indemnity
agreement from an institutional investor having a long term unsecured
indebtedness rating of at least A or its equivalent from either of S&P or
Xxxxx'x or, if rated by Fitch, its equivalent from Fitch). The reference to
extraordinary expenses and liabilities in clause (e) of the preceding sentence
refers to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including any attorneys' fees
and expenses, incurred in connection with suits against Obligors for the
enforcement of Pledged Contracts pursuant hereto, together with the risk of any
liabilities or counterclaims which could be incurred in connection therewith.

THE COLLATERAL AGENT
--------------------
SECTION 13.01. Authorization and Action. Each of the Deal Agent and each
-------------------------
Lender and Managing Agent (collectively with their respective successors and
assigns, the "Secured Creditors") hereby designates and appoints Fleet as
------------------
"Collateral Agent" under this Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement
and each of the other Facility Documents, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to
take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Facility Documents,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. To the extent
that any provision contained in this Article XIII conflicts with any provision
------------
contained in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement
shall control. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Facility Documents. In
addition, the Collateral Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with
any Person, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities on the part of the Collateral Agent shall be read
into the Facility Documents or otherwise exist for the Collateral Agent. The
provisions of this Article XIII govern the relationship between the Collateral
------------
Agent and the Secured Creditors and are solely for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Creditors, and none of the Borrower, the Servicer, FAC or
FCI (collectively, the "Other Parties") shall have any rights as a third-party
-------------
beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Article XIII. In
------------
performing its functions and duties under the Facility Documents, the Collateral
Agent shall act solely as agent for the Secured Creditors and does not assume
nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or
agency with or for any of the Other Parties or any of their respective
successors or assigns. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any
action which exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability or which is
contrary to the terms of any of the Facility Documents or applicable law. The
appointment and
authority of the Collateral Agent under the Facility Documents shall terminate
on the Collection Date.
SECTION 13.02. Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may execute any
--------------------
of its duties under the Facility Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it with reasonable care.
SECTION 13.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any
----------------------
of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them or any Person
described in Section 13.02 under or in connection with the Facility Documents
--------------
(except for its, their or such Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Secured Creditors
for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the
Other Parties contained in any of the Facility Documents or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
under or in connection with, any of the Facility Documents or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the
Facility Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith, or
for any failure of any of the Other Parties to perform its respective
obligations thereunder, or for any failure of any Obligor to perform its
obligations under any Pledged Contract, or for the satisfaction of any
conditions specified in Article III of this Credit Agreement. The Collateral
-----------
Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Secured Creditor to ascertain or
to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or
covenants contained in, or conditions of, the Facility Documents, or to inspect
the properties, books or records of any of the Other Parties. This Section 13.03
-------------
is intended solely to govern the relationship between the Collateral Agent, on
the one hand, and the Secured Creditors, on the other.
SECTION 13.04. Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall in
----------------------------
all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any
of the Other Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under any of the Facility Documents or
any other document furnished in connection therewith unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Secured Creditors or all of them, as
applicable, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Secured Creditors against any and all liability, cost and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Facility Documents, in
accordance with a request of the Deal Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender
made pursuant to the Facility Documents.
SECTION 13.05. Notice of Termination Events; Etc. The Collateral Agent
-------------------------------------
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event
of Default, Servicer
Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Unmatured Servicer Default unless the
Collateral Agent has received notice from a Secured Creditor or one of the Other
Parties referring to this Credit Agreement, stating that any Event of Default,
Servicer Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Unmatured Servicer Default, has
occurred hereunder and describing such Event of Default, Servicer Default,
Unmatured Event of Default or Unmatured Servicer Default. The Collateral Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Servicer Default,
Unmatured Event of Default or Unmatured Servicer Default as shall be directed by
all of the Secured Creditors; provided that unless and until the Collateral
--------
Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Event of Default, Servicer Default, Unmatured Event of Default
or Unmatured Servicer Default as the Collateral Agent shall deem advisable and
in the best interests of the Secured Creditors.
SECTION 13.06. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Secured
---------------------------------------------------------
Creditors. Each Secured Creditor expressly acknowledges that neither the
---------
Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including, without
limitation, any review of the affairs of any of the Other Parties, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
Each Secured Creditor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Creditor and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the Contracts,
Developments, and the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and
other conditions and creditworthiness of the Other Parties, and made its own
decision to enter into this Credit Agreement and any of the other Facility
Documents to which it is a party. Each Secured Creditor also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Creditor, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals
and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and any
of the other Facility Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the Contracts and the Developments, and the
business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of each of the Other Parties. The Collateral Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Creditor with any credit
or other information concerning the Contracts or the Developments, the business,
operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Other Parties which may come into the possession of the
Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, provided, however, that with reasonable
-------- -------
promptness following the reasonable request of a Secured Creditor, made in
writing, the Collateral Agent shall make available to such Secured Creditor
information concerning the Contracts or the Developments, the business,
operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Other Parties which information (a) is actually in the
possession of the Collateral Agent at the time of such request, (b) has been
provided to the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower or one of its
Affiliates, and (c) is described in such request with reasonable specificity.
SECTION 13.07. Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each of the Secured
-----------------------------------
Creditors agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent and its
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to
their pro rata shares of outstanding
Obligations, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Other Parties (a) for
any amounts for which the Collateral Agent, acting in its capacity as Collateral
Agent hereunder, is entitled to reimbursement by the Other Parties hereunder and
(b) for any other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as
Collateral Agent and acting on behalf of the Secured Creditors, in connection
with the administration and enforcement of the Facility Documents, the
Contracts, the VOIs and Lots, and any of the other Collateral.
SECTION 13.08. Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each of the
---------------------------------------------
Collateral Agent, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Other Parties or any Affiliate of the Other Parties as though the Collateral
Agent or such Lender were not the Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder,
respectively. With respect to the transactions contemplated pursuant to the
Facility Documents, Fleet as the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under the Facility Documents as any other Secured Creditor and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent, and the terms
"Secured Creditor," and "Secured Creditors" shall include Fleet in its capacity
as the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 13.09. Successor Collateral Agents. The Collateral Agent may, upon
---------------------------
thirty (30) days' notice to the Borrower and each of the Secured Creditors, and
the Collateral Agent shall, upon the direction of all of the Secured Creditors
resign as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral
Agent under the Facility Documents, then the Secured Creditors during such
thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor agent, which successor agent
shall be approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of the Collateral Agent and the term "Collateral Agent" shall
mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former
Collateral Agent's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Credit Agreement. If for any
reason no successor Collateral Agent is appointed by the Secured Creditors
during such thirty (30) day period, then effective upon the termination of such
thirty (30) day period, the Secured Creditors shall perform all of the duties of
the Collateral Agent under the Facility Documents and the Borrower shall make
all payments in respect of the Obligations directly to the applicable Secured
Creditor and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Secured Creditors.
After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent,
the provisions of this Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
------------
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under the
Facility Documents.
SECTION 13.10. UCC Filings and Title Certificates. The Secured Creditors
-----------------------------------
and the Other Parties expressly recognize and agree that the Collateral Agent
may be listed as (a) the secured party of record on the various Uniform
Commercial Code filings required to be made under this Credit Agreement in order
to perfect the collateral assignments from the Borrower to the Secured Creditors
of security interests in the Collateral, and (b) the secured party of record on
the various other assignments with respect to the Collateral as described more
fully in Exhibit C or Exhibit D, that such listings shall be for administrative
--------- ---------
convenience only in creating a record or nominee secured party to take certain
actions under the Facility Documents on behalf of one or more of the Secured
Creditors and that such listing will not affect in any way the respective status
of the Secured Creditors as the beneficial owners of their respective security
interests in the Collateral. In addition, such listings shall impose no duties
on the Collateral Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken
in accordance with the provisions of this Article XIII.
------------

Default, the Collateral Agent, each Managing Agent on behalf of the Lenders in
its Lender Group, the Borrower, FCI and the Servicer (and with respect to a

by it), FCI (with respect to a waiver or consent by it), or the Servicer (with
respect to a waiver or consent by it), as the case may be, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. This Credit Agreement contains a final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement (together with
the exhibits hereto) among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings (except such
understandings as are set forth in the FRSI Fee Letter or the BOCM Fee Letter).
SECTION 14.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided
-------------
for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including
telex communication and communication by facsimile copy) and mailed, telexed,
transmitted or delivered, as to each party hereto, at its address set forth
under its name on the signature pages hereof or of any Assignment and Acceptance

facsimile copy, when verbal communication of receipt is obtained, in each case
addressed as aforesaid, except that notices and communications pursuant to
Article II shall not be effective until received.
SECTION 14.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any of the
--------------------
Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent, any Lender or any Managing Agent to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 14.04. Binding Effect; Assignability; Termination.
------------------------------------------
(a) This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Servicer,
FCI, FAC, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Deal Agent and the Managing
Agents and their respective successors and permitted assigns (which successors
of the Borrower shall include a trustee in bankruptcy), and shall inure to the
benefit of each such Person, and each of their respective successors and
permitted assigns.
(i) None of the Borrower, the Servicer or FCI may assign any of its
rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of the Lenders, and the Collateral Agent.

assigning Lender, without the consent of the Borrower and (B) any other
Person, with the consent of the Borrower; provided that any such assignment
--------
or participation shall comply with the terms of the Liquidity Agreement to
which such Lender is a party. The parties to each assignment or
participation made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall execute and deliver
to the Deal Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and
records, an assignment agreement, a Joinder Agreement, a participation
agreement or other transfer instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Deal Agent and the Borrower. Each such assignment or
participation shall be effective as of the date specified in the applicable
agreement or instrument only after the execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording as described in the preceding sentence. Any Lender may, in
connection with any assignment or participation or any proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this clause (iii), disclose to the assignee or

The Deal Agent shall notify the Borrower of any assignment or participation

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that
the Lenders have agreed and other Lenders may agree pursuant to their related

agreements that, subject to the restrictions set forth therein, and under
certain circumstances as described therein, certain parties providing credit
enhancement and/or liquidity for such Lenders in connection with the
Credit Agreement shall be entitled to exercise such Lender's rights under this
Credit Agreement and in addition, shall constitute third-party beneficiaries of
this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the "Liquidity Collateral
Agent" under the EagleFunding Liquidity Security Agreement). The Borrower hereby
consents to the foregoing and agrees to cooperate with any such Person electing
to exercise such Lender's rights under this Credit Agreement.
(c) This Credit Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing
obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain
in full force and effect until such time, after the Termination Date, as the
Collection Date shall occur; provided, however, that the rights and remedies
-------- -------
with respect to any breach of any representations, warranties or covenants made
by any of the Borrower, the Servicer, FAC or FCI (including, without limitation,
the covenants of each of the Borrower, the Servicer and FAC under Sections
--------
12.02, 12.03, 12.04, and 12.05), shall be continuing and shall survive any
----- ----- ----- -----
termination of this Credit Agreement; provided further, however, that to the
-------- ------- -------
extent that a payment, transfer or deposit is made by or on behalf of any of the
Borrower, the Servicer, FAC or FCI, to any of the Collateral Agent, the Deal
Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, which payment, transfer or deposit (or
any part thereof) is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential or set aside and required to be repaid to any of the Borrower, the
Servicer FAC or FCI, or its respective estate, trustee or receiver or any other
Person, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, then to the extent of such repayment, the agreements hereunder in respect
of such Obligations or part thereof which had been so repaid, shall be
reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial
payment, transfer or deposit occurred.

--------------
liens and assign to the Borrower (without recourse, representation or warranty)
all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral,
and all proceeds thereof. The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such
instruments of assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably
requested by Borrower to release the security interests of the Collateral Agent
in the Collateral.
SECTION 14.06. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT
-----------------------------------
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE INTERESTS
OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT IN THE COLLATERAL OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER,
IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE

OF THE BORROWER, FAC OR FCI OR ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION.
SECTION 14.07. Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

their
respective assignees against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from
any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay, indemnify and hold each of the Collateral
Agent, the Deal Agent, each Deal Co-Agent, each Lender and each Managing Agent

expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration and management of
this Credit Agreement, the other Facility Documents and the other agreements and
documents to be delivered hereunder and thereunder (all the foregoing,

-------------------- --------
FAC or FCI shall have any obligation hereunder to any indemnified party with
respect to indemnified amounts arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such indemnified party.

elsewhere to the contrary, the Borrower's obligations to make payments

investments maintained therein, shall be subject in all events to the
limitations on permitted payment dates and the designation of payment priorities
set forth in Section 7.06.
------------
SECTION 14.09. Execution in Counterparts; Severability. This Credit
---------------------------
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Credit

validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 14.10. No Bankruptcy Petition Against Any Conduit Lender. Each
----------------------------------------------------
party hereto covenants and agrees (which agreement shall be binding upon their
respective successors and assigns) that it will not institute against any
Conduit Lender, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit

warranties, covenants and indemnities under the Original Credit Agreement shall
be governed by the terms and provisions of this Credit Agreement to the same
extent as if such Loans, Grants of Contracts, payments, representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities had been made under this Credit Agreement
and (b) all references in any of the other Facility Documents to the Original
Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Original Agreement as the
same is amended and restated hereby. It is expressly understood and agreed that
