NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the “Sixth Amended and Restated Standard Definitions” attached hereto asAnnex A.
SECTION 2.Acquisition of Timeshare Loans.
(a)Timeshare Loans. On each Funding Date, in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Timeshare Loan to be sold on such Funding Date, to be paid in part in cash and in part as an increase in the value of the Residual Interest Certificate held by the Depositor, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, sell and grant to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to (i) any Timeshare Loans listed on the related Borrowing Notice, (ii) the Receivables in respect of such Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all Related Security in respect of each such Timeshare Loan, (v) the Depositor’s rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, its rights with respect to the representations and warranties of the Club Originator therein, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof, including any right to require the Club Originator to cure, repurchase or substitute any Defective Timeshare Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and (vi) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing (the property in clauses (i)-(vi), being the “Assets”). Upon such sale and transfer, the ownership of each Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon after the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 2(a) shall immediately vest in the Issuer, its successors and assigns. The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than for federal and state income tax reporting, if applicable. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that the “credit risk” of the Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder shall be borne by the Issuer and its subsequent assignees.
2
(b)Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Issuer hereby directs the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, at least five Business Days prior to each Funding Date, to the Custodian all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.
(c)Collections. The Depositor shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of Timeshare Loans received by the Depositor or its Affiliates after the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account and, with respect to Credit Card Timeshare Loans, direct each applicable credit card vendor to deposit all payments in respect of such Credit Card Timeshare Loans to the Lockbox Account.
(d)Limitation of Liability. None of the Issuer, the Depositor or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Issuer, the Depositor or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Issuer, the Depositor or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.
SECTION 3.Intended Characterization; Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer and not a loan secured by such Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale (a “Recharacterization”), it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets and the QSTL Assets (as hereinafter defined) specified in Section 2 hereof and Section 6(f) hereof, respectively, and the proceeds thereof and that with respect to such transfer, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the event of a Recharacterization, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof. In the case
3
of any Recharacterization, each of the Depositor and the Issuer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by the Depositor to the Issuer hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Depositor in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Issuer and the Depositor and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Issuer and the Depositor.
The characterization of the Depositor as “debtor” and the Issuer as “secured party” in any such security agreement and any related financing statements required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this transaction be treated as a sale to the Issuer of the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Assets and the QSTL Assets.
Each of the Depositor, the Club, the Club Trustee and any of their Affiliates hereby agrees to make the appropriate entries in its general accounting records to indicate that the Timeshare Loans have been transferred to the Issuer, pledged to the Indenture Trustee and constitute a part of the Issuer’s estate in accordance with the terms of the Trust created under the Trust Agreement.
SECTION 4.Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) With respect to each Funding Date for each Timeshare Loan or any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan replacing a Timeshare Loan, all representations and warranties of the Depositor contained in Section 5(a) hereof shall be true and correct on such date as if made on such date, and all representations and warranties as to the Timeshare Loans contained in Section 5(b) hereof and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans in respect of each such Timeshare Loan conveyed on such Funding Date shall be true and correct on such Funding Date.
(b) Prior to a Funding Date, the Depositor shall have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Custodian and the Custodian shall have delivered a Custodian’s Certification therefor pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Servicer.
(c) The Depositor shall have delivered or caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Issuer to be delivered by the Depositor or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of the related Funding Date, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.
(d) On the related Funding Date, the Indenture shall be in full force and effect.
(e) Each of the conditions precedent to a Borrowing under the Indenture and the Note Funding Agreement shall have been satisfied.
4
(f) Each Timeshare Loan conveyed on a Funding Date shall be an Eligible Timeshare Loan.
(g) Each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan replacing a Timeshare Loan shall satisfy each of the criteria specified in the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and each of the conditions herein and in the Indenture for substitution of Timeshare Loans shall have been satisfied.

(f) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof which are made to the Depositor’s Knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee thereof, then notwithstanding such lack of Knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such representation or warranty was made (without regard to any Knowledge qualifiers), such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described in Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) hereof.
SECTION 6.Repurchases and Substitutions.
(a)Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

The Depositor acknowledges that the Issuer shall pledge such Timeshare Loans and rights to the Indenture Trustee.

In addition, the Issuer acknowledges that the Club Originator shall use its best efforts to exercise its substitution option with respect to Original Club Loans prior to exercise of its repurchase option. To the extent that the Club Originator shall elect to substitute Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for an Original Club Loan, the Club Originator shall use its best efforts to cause each such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan to be, in the following order of priority, (i) the Upgrade Club Loan related to such Original Club Loan and (ii) an Upgrade Club Loan unrelated to such Original Club Loan.
(c)Optional Purchases or Substitutions of Defaulted Timeshare Loans. The Issuer acknowledges that pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Depositor has irrevocably granted the Club Originator an option to repurchase or substitute Defaulted Timeshare Loans it has thereunder and as described in the following sentence.

The Club Originator may irrevocably waive its option to purchase or substitute a related Defaulted Timeshare Loan by delivering or causing to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee a Waiver Letter in the form ofExhibit A attached hereto.
(d)Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts.

Upon such sale, the ownership of each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon after the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 6(f) shall immediately vest in the Issuer, its successors and assigns. The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than federal and state income tax reporting. The Depositor agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall thereafter be deemed a “Timeshare Loan” for the purposes of this Agreement.
(g)Officer’s Certificate for Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. The Depositor shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify or cause to be certified in writing to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Custodian or shall be delivered within five Business Days of the applicable Transfer Date, and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Servicer.

15
execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment until the Funding Agents and the Servicer receive a Custodian’s Certification for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Depositor or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Depositor or its designee;provided,however, that with respect to any Timeshare Loan File or Timeshare Loan Servicing File related to a Timeshare Loan that has been substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not cause the Custodian and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan File and the Timeshare Loan Servicing File, respectively, until the Funding Agents, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer receive a Custodian’s Certification for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.
(i)Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Depositor contained in Section 6(a) hereof to cure a breach, or to repurchase or substitute Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of the Depositor to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 hereof, shall constitute the sole remedies available to the Issuer or its subsequent assignees for the breaches of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5 hereof and such remedies are not intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to the Depositor.

(b) It shall preserve and maintain its existence (corporate or otherwise), rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its organization and except where the failure to so preserve and maintain will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.
