Note, if any, is not and will not be subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the
defense of usury, whether arising out of transactions
concerning such Contract or Mortgage Note or otherwise, and
the operation of any of the terms of such Contract or Mortgage
Note or the exercise by the applicable Seller or the Obligor
of any right under such Contract or Mortgage Note will not
render such Contract or Mortgage Note unenforceable in whole
or in part, and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto, except that certain rights or defenses may exist
under applicable law which, individually or in the aggregate,

realization of the benefits provided thereby.

obligations on the lender's part to be fulfilled under or in
connection with the related Loan Documents, including, without

(xxv) With respect to a Contract relating to
Fractional Interests:
(A) The related Fractional Interest
mortgaged by the related Obligor constitutes a fee
simple interest in real property and improvements at
the applicable Resort. The related Mortgage has been
duly filed and recorded with all appropriate
governmental authorities in all jurisdictions in
which such Mortgage is required to be filed and
recorded to create a legal, valid, binding and
enforceable first Lien on the related Fractional
Interest, and such Mortgage creates a legal, valid
and binding first Lien on the related Fractional
Interest, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. The
Assignments of Mortgage of such related Mortgage from
the Seller to the Issuer and each related endorsement
of the related Mortgage Note constitutes a duly
executed, legal, valid, binding and enforceable sale,
assignment or endorsement, as the case may be, of
such related Mortgage and related Mortgage Note, and
all monies due or to become due thereunder, and all
proceeds thereof. The Seller has executed and
delivered or within five Business Days of the
applicable Transfer Date, will have executed and
delivered each Assignment of Mortgage from the Seller
to the Issuer of such related Mortgage, endorsed such
related Mortgage Note, and delivered it to the Issuer
or, at the Issuer's instruction, the Custodian as
required by Section 2.03 hereof.
(B) The related Mortgage contains customary
and enforceable provisions so as to render the rights
and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the related Fractional Interest
of the benefits of the security interests intended to
be provided thereby.
(C) The related Mortgage Loan is or will be
within sixty (60) days of the related Cut-Off Date
covered by a title policy issued by a title insurer
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where
the related Fractional Interest is located in a form
generally acceptable to prudent originators of
similar mortgage loans, insuring Trendwest and its
successors and assigns, as to the first priority
mortgage Lien of the related Mortgage in an amount
equal to the original principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan. Upon issuance of the title policy,
such title policy is or will be in full force and
effect and is enforceable by the Servicer without the
consent of or any notification to the insurer except
as set forth in the form of policy. No claims have
been made under such title policy, and no prior
holder of such Mortgage Loan has done or omitted to
do anything which would impair the coverage of such
title policy. Full premiums for such title policy,
endorsements or all special endorsements have been
paid.
10
(D) The Seller has not taken (or omitted to
take), and has no knowledge that the related Obligor
has taken (or omitted to take), any action that would
impair in any material respect or invalidate the
coverage provided by any hazard insurance, title
policy or any other insurance policy relating to the
related Mortgage Loan or the related Fractional
Interest.
(E) All applicable intangible taxes and
documentary stamp taxes were paid as to the related
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage.
(F) The proceeds of the related Mortgage
Loan have been fully disbursed, there is no
obligation to make future advances or to lend
additional funds under the mortgagee's commitment or
the documents and instruments evidencing or securing
such Mortgage Loan and no such advances or loans have
been made since the origination of such Mortgage
Loan.
(G) Neither the related Mortgagor nor any
other Person has the right, by statute, contract or
otherwise, to seek the partition of the related
Fractional Interest.
(H) The related Mortgage Note conveyed
hereunder has been endorsed and assigned in a manner
that satisfies all requirements of endorsement and
assignment, in order to transfer all right, title and
interest of the applicable Seller in such Mortgage
Note to the Issuer.
(xxvi) The related Loan Documents have not been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded.
(xxvii) The related Obligor has paid, in the aggregate,
an amount not less than 10% of the original purchase price of
the Vacation Credits or Fractional Interest, as applicable.
(b) As to the aggregate pool of Contracts transferred to the
Issuer on each Transfer Date no Seller used any selection procedures
that identified the Contracts and Mortgage Loans as being less
desirable or valuable than other comparable vacation credit installment
contracts or fractional interest mortgage loans owned by such Seller.
(c) As to each Seller and WorldMark (to the extent

Security or on the ability of such Seller, the Issuer or the
Trustee to realize upon or enforce the same.

Incorporation and By-laws, as applicable, or any statute or
any order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory
authority or other governmental agency or body having
jurisdiction over such Seller or any of its properties; and no
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with or other action of any court, or any

of its present or future creditors.
(vii) The consideration received by such Seller
pursuant to this Agreement is fair consideration having value
reasonably equivalent to or in excess of the value of the
performance of such Seller's obligations hereunder and is
reasonably equivalent to amount that could be obtained from an

(viii) Neither on the date of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents or immediately
before or after such transactions, nor as a result of the
transactions, will such Seller:

(B) be engaged in, or about to engage in,
business or a transaction for which any property
remaining with such Seller will be an unreasonably

will be unreasonably small in relation to its
respective business or the transaction; and
(C) have intended to incur, or believed it

be in excess of the amount that will be required to pay its

properties, business, prospects, profits or condition
(financial or otherwise) of such Seller or WorldMark, or the
ability of such Seller to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Such Seller is
not in default with respect to any order of any court,
governmental authority or agency or arbitration board or
tribunal.
(xii) All tax returns or extensions required to be
filed by such Seller in any jurisdiction have in fact been
filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental
charges upon such Seller, or upon any of the respective
properties, income or franchises shown to be due and payable
on such returns have been, or will be, paid. All such tax
returns are true and correct, and such Seller has no knowledge

material amount nor of any basis therefor. The provisions for

(xiv) It is the intention of such Seller that the
Assets are being or have been acquired by the Issuer and that

bankruptcy petition by or against such Seller under any
bankruptcy law.

such Seller to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, such
Seller was the sole owner of such Assets at such time and had

all liens, claims and encumbrances (except for the Acquisition
Consideration and security interests in such Assets, if
applicable, which shall be terminated on or prior to the
related Transfer Date).
(xvi) Such Seller will treat the transfer of the
Assets as a sale to the Issuer for federal, State and local
income tax reporting and accounting purposes.
(xvii) The sale of the Assets pursuant to this
Agreement constitutes the valid sale by such Seller to the
Issuer of all of such Seller's right, title and interest in
the Assets.
14
(xviii) Such Seller has valid business reasons for
selling the Assets to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement
rather than obtaining a loan secured by the Assets.
(xix) Such Seller will be operated generally so
as to not be substantively consolidated with the Issuer
for bankruptcy purposes.
(xx) No event has occurred that adversely affects
such Seller's ability to perform the transactions contemplated

(iii) has not involuntarily incurred and is not
involuntarily liable for any debt, nor is any of its property

Liens) exceed $1,000,000.

this Agreement with the Issuer and on which the Holders of the Notes rely in

(b) The transfer to and receipt by the Issuer of the Sellers'
interest in the Loan Documents, the Receivables and the Related
Security pursuant to this Agreement and the consummation of the

not conflict with or result in breach of any of the terms or provisions
of, or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a

or any material indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, or

Issuer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the
property or assets of the Issuer is subject, nor will such action
result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer or any statute or any order,
rule or regulation of any court or regulatory authority or other
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any
of its properties; and no consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with or other action of any court
or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body
is required for the acquisition of the Assets hereunder.

necessary corporate action and constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance

reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating
to or affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles
of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a court of

the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, or (c) seeking any determination or ruling that
would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Issuer of
its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
Agreement.
16
(e) All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other
actions of any Person or of any court, governmental agency or body or

(f) The Issuer Address is the principal place of business
and chief executive office of the Issuer.
Section 3.03. Purchase or Substitution Required upon Breach of Certain

Sections 3.01(a)(v), 3.01(a)(vi), 3.01(a)(vii), 3.01(a)(xiii), 3.01(a)(xiv),
3.01(a)(xvi), 3.01(a)(xxii) or 3.01(a)(xxiii) hereof, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Trendwest shall,
within 30 days from the date it was notified of, or otherwise discovers, such
breach, cure such breach, or, (1) if the breach relates to a particular
Contract, Receivable or Related Security and is not cured, either (a) purchase

correct, as evidenced by a certificate of an officer of Trendwest to the
Trustee. The Purchase Price for a purchased Contract shall be paid, and any
Substitute Contract shall be delivered, by Trendwest to the Issuer in accordance
with Section 3.04(c) hereof. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
Trendwest to cure or purchase or replace any Contract as to which such a breach
has occurred shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available
to the Issuer, the Holders of Notes or the Trustee on behalf of such Holders
(except for any indemnities provided under Section 4.01(j) hereof or any
obligations under the Indenture) for any losses, claims, damages and liabilities
arising from the Issuer's interest in such Contract or the inclusion of the
Issuer's interest in such Contract in the Trust Estate.
Section 3.04. Requirements for Purchase or Substitution of Contracts;
Upgrades. (a) If Trendwest is required to purchase the Issuer's interest in any
Contract and the related Receivables, under Section 3.03 hereof or if the Issuer

and related Receivables shall be purchased by Trendwest at the Purchase Price.
All purchases shall be accomplished at the times specified in subsection (c)
below.

3.03 hereof, each such contract (a "Substitute Contract") shall (i) be an
Eligible Contract; (ii) be written on one of the standard forms attached as

withdrawal (the "Substitution Criterion"), (ii) such Substitute Contract will
have an interest rate that is not 1% less than the original Contract and (iii)
the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall be

of Contracts as of the date such Substitute Contract is conveyed to the Issuer.

provisions of this Section 3.04(b), Trendwest hereby agrees that such Substitute
Contract will be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Servicing Agreement, the Custodian Agreement and the Indenture just as if such
Substitute Contract had been one of the original Contracts acquired on the
Closing Date. Upon the substitution of a Substitute Contract pursuant to this
Section 3.04(b), the Issuer and Trendwest shall also comply with the provisions
and limitations set forth in the Indenture. All substitutions shall be
accomplished at the time specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) Any purchase or substitution of a Contract by Trendwest in
accordance with Section 3.03 hereof or this Section 3.04 shall be made either by

Upgrade Contract, Trendwest, as Servicer, shall inform the Issuer of such fact.
In such events, the Issuer will purchase the receivable related to such Upgrade
and Trendwest will transfer the related Upgrade Contract to the Issuer in
exchange for the existing Contract with such Obligor and an amount equal to the

18
Trendwest to the Custodian immediately after execution of such contract by the
Obligor, WorldMark and Trendwest (and, in any event, prior to the release of the

Trendwest shall deliver to the Trustee a supplement to this Agreement
substantially in the form of Annex A hereto subjecting such Contract to the
provisions hereof and providing with respect to such Upgrade Contract the
information required on the Contract Schedule.
Upon the acquisition by the Issuer of any Upgrade Contract pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 3.04(d) (and the subsequent transfer of the
related Receivable to the Issuer), Trendwest hereby agrees that such Upgrade
Contract and the related Receivable, as applicable, will be subject to all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture just as if such Upgrade
Contract had been one of the original Contracts acquired on the Closing Date.
ARTICLE 4
SELLER COVENANTS
Section 4.01. Seller Covenants. Each Seller hereby covenants and agrees
with the Issuer as follows:
(a) Except as hereinafter provided, such Seller will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation and
will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and to perform its duties
hereunder. Any person into which such Seller may be merged or
consolidated, or to whom such Seller has sold substantially all of its
assets, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which such Seller shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of such Seller shall be the successor of
such Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that (w)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation
or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.01(c) hereof shall have been
breached, (x) such successor executes an agreement of assumption, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform every
obligation under this Agreement, (y) such Seller shall have delivered
to the Issuer a certificate of an officer of such Seller and an Opinion
of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, or succession
and such agreement of assumption complies with this Section 4.01 and
that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement
relating to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) such
Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer an Opinion of Counsel either
(1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been
executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the
interest of the Issuer in the Contracts and reciting the details of
such filings, or (2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no
such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.
19
(b) Neither such Seller nor any of the members, directors,
officers, employees or agents of such Seller shall be under any
liability to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Holders of Notes for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good
faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment not
involving recklessness or negligence; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect such Seller against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its
obligations in strict compliance with this Agreement, or any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. Such Seller, and any member,
director, officer, employee or agent of such Seller, may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Such
Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations as
the seller of the Assets under this Agreement and that in its opinion
may involve it in any expense or liability.
(c) Such Seller will from time to time, at its own expense,
execute and file such additional financing statements (including
continuation statements) as may be necessary or which the Trustee may
deem appropriate to preserve the security interests and liens described
in Section 3.01(a)(viii) hereof and are reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Issuer.
(d) Such Seller will not change its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner that would, could, or might make any
financing statement or continuation statement misleading within the
meaning of sections 9-506 and 9-507 of the UCC, unless it shall have
given the Issuer and the Trustee at least 30 days' prior written notice
thereof.
(e) Such Seller will give the Issuer and the Trustee at least
30 days' prior written notice of any relocation of its principal
executive office if, 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.
(f) Such Seller will duly fulfill all obligations on its part
to be fulfilled under or in connection with each Loan Document, will
not change or modify the terms of the Loan Documents (and shall prevent
any third party originator that still owns any Loan Document from
changing or modifying the terms of any such contract) except as
expressly permitted by the terms of the Transaction Documents and will
do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer or the Trustee in the
Assets. In the event that the rights of such Seller under any Loan
Document or any guaranty of the related Obligor's obligations under any
Loan Document are not assignable to the Issuer, such Seller will
enforce such rights on behalf of the Issuer; the Seller is not aware of
any such inability to assign any Loan Documents.
20
(g) Such Seller will comply, in all material respects, with
all material acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions
of any governmental authority applicable to the Assets or any part
thereof; provided, however, that such Seller may contest any act,
regulation, order, decree or direction in any reasonable manner which
shall not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Issuer or
the Trustee in the Assets.
(h) Such Seller will advise the Issuer and the Trustee
promptly, in reasonable detail, of the occurrence of any breach by such
Seller following discovery by such Seller of such breach of any of its
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein.
(i) Such Seller will execute or endorse, acknowledge, and
deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee from time to time such schedules,
confirmatory assignments, conveyances, and other reassurances or
instruments and take such further similar actions relating to the
Assets, and the rights covered by the Transaction Documents, as the
Issuer or the Trustee may reasonably request to preserve and maintain
title to the Assets and the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of
Notes therein against the claims of all persons and parties.
(j) Trendwest agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Issuer
harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage,
judgment, claim, deficiency or expense (including interest, penalties,
reasonable attorney's fees and amounts paid in settlement) that is
caused by (i) a material breach at any time by any Seller of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 3.01
hereof or this Section 4.01 or (ii) any material information furnished
by any Seller which is set forth in any schedule delivered hereunder,
being untrue in any material respect when any such representation was
made or schedule delivered, provided that Trendwest shall not have any
liability with respect to a representation or warranty as to any
specific Loan Document, Receivable or the Related Security other than
to purchase such Contract or substitute for such Contract in accordance
with Section 3.03 hereof unless such breach of representation or
warranty is the result of a Seller's fraud, negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. Trendwest shall also indemnify the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Servicer for any cost or expenses incurred by them in
the enforcement of this Agreement. The obligations of Trendwest under
this Section 4.01(j) shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the Issuer and shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Issuer, until termination of the Indenture. If Trendwest has made
any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 4.01(j) and thereafter
the recipient collects any of such amounts from others, such party will
promptly repay the amount collected to Trendwest, without interest.
(k) Such Seller will do nothing to disturb or impair the
acquisition hereunder by the Issuer of all of such Seller's right,
title and interest in the Assets.
(l) Such Seller (i) will (A) maintain its books and records
separate from the books and records of the Issuer and (B) maintain bank
accounts separate from those of the Issuer and (ii) will not (x) take,
prior to the complete payment of the Notes, any action that would cause
21
the dissolution or liquidation of the Issuer, (y) guarantee (directly
or indirectly), endorse or otherwise become contingently liable
(directly or indirectly) for the obligations of the Issuer or (z)
institute against the Issuer, or join any other person in instituting
against the Issuer, any case, proceeding or other action under any
existing or future bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.
(m) Such Seller shall notify the Issuer and the Trustee
promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Asset, and Trendwest
shall not allow to suffer any lien on any asset.
(n) On each date as of which Trendwest substitutes a
Substitute Contract in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Trendwest
shall provide to the Issuer a supplement to this Agreement
substantially in the form of Annex A hereto subjecting such Substitute
Contract to the provisions hereof and providing with respect to such
Substitute Contract the information required in the Contract Schedule.
(o) The annual financial statements of such Seller will
disclose the effects of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The financial statements of such Seller and the Issuer will
also disclose that the assets of the Issuer are not available to pay
creditors of such Seller. The resolutions, agreements and other
instruments underlying the Transaction Documents will be continuously
maintained by such Seller as official records.
(p) Such Seller will, at its own cost and expense, (i) retain
the Electronic Ledger as a master record of the Loan Documents and the
Related Security and copies of all documents relating to each Contract
(other than the original executed Contracts) as custodian for the
Issuer and other Persons, if any, with interests in the Loan Documents
and the Related Security and (ii) ▇▇▇▇ the Contracts and the Electronic
Ledger to the effect that the Loan Documents and such Seller's interest
in the Related Security have been acquired by the Issuer and a security
interest in the Loan Documents and the Related Security have been
granted by such Seller to the Issuer and that such security interests
and rights have been pledged, transferred and assigned to the Trustee
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture.
(q) Such Seller will perform the transactions contemplated by

Issuer's name.

TRI FUNDING V, INC.
SUBORDINATED NOTE
Date: August __, 2001 Stated Maturity: ______________
TRI FUNDING V, INC., a special purpose corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer," which term
includes any successor entity under the Indenture referred to below), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Trendwest Resorts, Inc. ("Trendwest"), or
its assigns, the principal sum ___________________ Dollars ($_____________) in
monthly installments beginning on [September 17, 2001] (the "Initial Payment
Date"), and to pay interest monthly in arrears on the unpaid portion of said
principal sum (and, to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable, on any overdue installment of interest on this Subordinated
Note) on the fifteenth day of each calendar month or, if such fifteenth day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (each, a "Payment
Date"), for the period from and including August ___, 2001 through the last day
of the applicable Due Period immediately preceding the Initial Payment Date for
the Notes referred to below, and thereafter, monthly from and including the
first day through the last day of the Due Period immediately preceding the
Payment Date, at the rate of _____% per annum (calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each). Each monthly installment
of principal payable on this Subordinated Note shall be an amount equal to the
cash available for distribution until the principal amount owed hereunder, as
adjusted as set forth below, is paid in full. Any remaining unpaid portion of
the principal amount of this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable no later
than the Stated Maturity referred to above; provided, however, that if the Notes
(as defined below) are not paid in full on such date, no such amounts shall be
due or payable until the Notes are paid in full. All terms used in this
Subordinated Note which are defined in the Indenture (referred to herein as the
"Indenture"), dated as of August 1, 2001, among the Issuer, Trendwest Resorts,
Inc., as Servicer, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as
Trustee shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The principal and interest on this Subordinated Note are payable by
check mailed by first-class mail to Trendwest or its assigns or by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing to the
D-1
Trustee by Trendwest or its assigns received at least five Business Days prior
to the Record Date for the Payment Date on which wire transfers will commence,
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Funds
represented by checks returned undelivered will be held for payment to the
Person entitled thereto, subject to the terms of the Indenture, at the office or
agency in the United States of America designated as such by the Issuer for such
purpose pursuant to the Indenture.
The principal owed on this Subordinated Note will be increased from
time to time in the event that Trendwest transfers the receivable related to an
Upgrade Contract to the Issuer to be included in the Trust Estate, such amount
to equal the difference between the principal balance of the receivable of
Upgrade Contract as of the date of such Upgrade and the Collateral Value on such
date of the Receivable being replaced.
This Subordinated Note and the Issuer's Receivables-Backed Notes 2001-1
(the "Notes") issued pursuant to the Indenture are secured by certain
Receivables and other Collateral described in the Indenture. The Trust Estate
relating to the Notes also secures the payment of certain other amounts and
certain other obligations as described in the Indenture. Until the Notes are
paid in full and the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture are
satisfied, (i) the Subordinated Notes are payable only at the time and in the
manner provided in the Indenture and are not redeemable or prepayable at the
option of the Issuer before such time and (ii) the holder of this Subordinated
Note will not cause the filing of a bankruptcy petition against the Issuer for
any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the failure of the Issuer
to make any payments of principal of or interest on this Subordinated Note until
after a period equal to 10 days plus the applicable preference period under the
United States Bankruptcy Code has passed since the Notes were paid in full.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the holder of this Subordinated Note under the
Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Servicer with the
consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of Notes of
the Controlling Class of the Notes Outstanding under the Indenture. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at the time Outstanding
under the Indenture, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. This Subordinated Note shall not be amended without the consent of
Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Controlling Class of
the Notes Outstanding.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Subordinated Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this Subordinated Note, but, so long as any Notes are Outstanding,
solely from the Collateral pledged to the Trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the Notes at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in
this Subordinated Note or the Indenture, the obligation of the Issuer to pay the
principal of and interest on this Subordinated Note is not a general obligation
of the Issuer, nor its officers or directors, but, so long as any Notes are
Outstanding, is limited solely to the Collateral pledged under the Indenture.
D-2
So long as the Notes are Outstanding, Trendwest shall not transfer this
Subordinated Note to any Person.
This Subordinated Note and the Indenture shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without
regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Note to be signed, manually, by its Vice President.
