(vii) Ownership Interest. Take such action with respect to each Loan as is necessary to ensure that the Company maintains a first priority ownership interest in such Loan and the other related Transferred Assets, in each case free and clear of any Liens arising through or under the Seller and, in the case of any Timeshare Properties, other than any Permitted Encumbrance thereon, and respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Loan sold by it hereunder by stating that, from and after the Initial Closing Date or related Addition Date, as applicable, it is no longer the owner of such Loan and that ownership of such Loan has been transferred to the Company.
(viii) Instruments. Not remove any portion of the Loans or related Transferred Assets with respect to any Series that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing from the jurisdiction in which it was held under the related Custodial Agreement unless the Company shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company shall continue to have a first-priority perfected ownership or security interest with respect to such property after giving effect to such action or actions.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the ultimate discretion and control relating to the maintenance of any such insurance policies is vested in the POA in accordance with the respective declaration (or any similar charter document) relating to each Timeshare Property Regime.
(B) The Seller shall remit to the Collection Account the portion of any proceeds received pursuant to a condemnation of property in any Resort relating to any Timeshare Property to the extent the Obligors are required to make such remittance under the terms of one or more Loans that have been sold to the Company hereunder and under the related PA Supplement.

The Seller will 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
27
proceedings and with respect to which the Seller or the applicable Affiliate has 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 with respect to the Purchaser or the Seller or otherwise be reasonably expected to expose the Purchaser or the Seller to material liability.
(xiv) Facility Documents. Comply in all material respects with the terms of, and employ the procedures outlined under, this Agreement, any PA Supplement and all other Facility Documents to which it is a party, and take all such action as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Company to maintain this Agreement, any PA Supplement and all such other Facility Documents in full force and effect.

Litigation
In September 2002, the Office of the California Attorney General and the San Mateo County District Attorney's office began an investigation of certain Trendwest sales, telemarketing and collection practices. The matter was resolved in October 2003, with Trendwest signing a stipulated judgment enjoining Trendwest from certain business practices, requiring Trendwest to offer restitution to certain consumers, and obligating Trendwest to pay costs and fines.
In October 2003, as a result of an investigation by the California Department of Real Estate ("DRE"), Trendwest entered into an agreement with the DRE whereby Trendwest deposited $1.8 million into an escrow account to be paid to WorldMark in the event the DRE determines, following an audit, that Trendwest owes money to WorldMark as a result of certain Trendwest sales and marketing programs. Trendwest is currently responding to the DRE's audit requests.
In early February 2005, Trendwest's broker-of-record in Arizona received a letter from the Arizona Department of Real Estate ("ADRE") stating that the ADRE had initiated an investigation as a result of an audit conducted by the ADRE. The auditors alleged numerous infractions relating to, among other things, Trendwest's brokerage practices. Working with Arizona legal counsel, the broker replied to the ADRE in late February 2005 acknowledging certain infractions and providing evidence of remedial measures, and disputing certain other alleged infractions. Trendwest is currently awaiting a reply from the ADRE.

WHEREAS, the Purchaser wishes to purchase such Additional Loans subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

The Agreement is hereby ratified, and all references to the Agreement shall be deemed from and after the Addition Date to be references to the Agreement as supplemented and amended by this Assignment. Except as expressly amended hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or consent to non-compliance with any term or provision of the Agreement.
7. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
