Termination Date and the Facility Termination Date, in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth herein, a Conduit may, at its option, instruct its
Investor Agent to purchase on behalf of such Conduit (or if such Conduit shall
decline to purchase, such Investor Agent shall purchase, on behalf of such
Conduit's related Financial Institutions) Purchaser Interests from time to time
in an amount which, when added to the existing Purchaser Interests of such
Group, shall not cause the aggregate Capital of such Group to exceed its Group
Limit.

subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be
irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested Purchase Price (which shall not
be less than $2,500,000) and date of purchase (ii) the allocation of such amount
among each of the Groups (which shall be proportional to the Group Limit of each
Group) and (iii) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by a

Institutions. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the applicable
Purchasers shall deposit to an account of the RPA Seller designated by the RPA
Seller in the Purchase Notice, in immediately available funds, an amount equal

Interests such Conduit is then purchasing, with such payment to be initiated no
later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time), or (ii) in the case of such Conduit's

and its related Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital

any) owing to such related Financial Institutions (ratably, based on their

Obligor for such Timeshare Interest.

(g) The rights of the RPA Seller pursuant to this Section 1.5 to repurchase
Charged-off Receivables, Defaulted Receivables, Undocumented Receivables and

Capital and other Aggregate Unpaids pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3,
shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and,
giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in such Sections, shall be

reason. The RPA Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or
application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the
Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such recission,
return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of
any such recission, return or refunding.
Section 2.6 Maintenance of Purchaser Interests. The RPA Seller shall ensure
that the aggregate Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed

from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding
Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount
equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in
immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation,
warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or

Purchasers, shall maintain with the corporate trust department of the Paying

written investment direction. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the

(b) The Agent shall release its interest in each Released Receivable and

for Release") prepared by the Servicer. Pursuant to such Request for Release,

2.10(c)(ii), the Agent and each Investor Agent shall each release its interest
in certain Receivables and the related Receivable Documents from time to time
following the delivery to the Agent and the Investor Agents of a certificate of
the RPA Seller (each a "Seller Direction"), substantially in the form of Exhibit
IV hereto. In connection with such release, the Agent shall deliver a Request
for Release to the Custodian, pursuant to which the Agent shall assign without
recourse, representation or warranty, its right, title, and interest in such

shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result from such release;
(B) the RPA Seller shall have deposited into the Collection Account in

Agent and the Investor Agents a Seller Direction five days prior to the
requested date for such release.

Section 2.12 Terminating Purchasers.
(a) Terminating Conduits. Any Conduit whose Investor Agent has given at
least one Business Day's notice to the RPA Seller and Agent may give notice of
its intention to not make any further Incremental Purchases reinvestment (a
"Terminating Conduit"). Upon receipt of notice of such termination, unless
revoked pursuant to instructions from such Terminating Conduit's Investor Agent,
no additional Incremental Purchases will be made by such Terminating Conduit.
(b) Terminating Financial Institution. Upon the RPA Seller's request, made
not more than 90 nor less than 45 days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date,
each Financial Institution hereby agrees to deliver written notice to the
Investor Agents and the Agent and the RPA Seller indicating whether such
Financial Institution intends to renew its Commitment hereunder and under its
Liquidity Agreement. Each Financial Institution will deliver such notice not
less than 30 days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date. If any Financial
Institution fails to deliver such notice on or prior to the date that is 30 days
prior to the Liquidity Termination Date, such Financial Institution will be
deemed to have declined to renew its Commitment (each Financial Institution
which has declined or has been deemed to have declined to renew its Commitment
hereunder, a "Terminating Financial Institution"). The Investor Agent and the
Agent shall promptly notify the Conduit and the RPA Seller of each Terminating
Financial Institution.
(c) Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests
of a Terminating Purchaser (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to
Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all rights and obligations of such Terminating Purchaser
hereunder shall be terminated and such Terminating Purchaser shall no longer be
a "Financial Institution" or "Conduit", as applicable, hereunder; provided,
however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its
benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Terminating Purchaser
prior to its termination as a Financial Institution or Conduit, as applicable.
14
ARTICLE III
CONDUIT FUNDING
Section 3.1 CP Costs. The RPA Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the
Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of a Conduit for each day that
any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each Purchaser
Interest funded substantially with Allocated Commercial Paper issued by or on
behalf of a Conduit will accrue CP Costs each day on such Allocated Commercial
Paper. Each Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper
issued by or on behalf of a Conduit will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata
basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser
Interest represents in relation to all assets held by such Conduit and funded
substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper.
Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, the RPA Seller
shall pay to each Investor Agent (for the benefit of its related Conduits) an
aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the
Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such Conduit for the
immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Article II.
Section 3.3 Calculation of CP Costs and Carrying and Servicing Costs. On
each Determination Date, the Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP
Costs for the applicable Accrual Period and shall notify the RPA Seller and the
Servicer of such aggregate amount. Two Business Days prior to each Determination
Date, each Investor Agent shall calculate for the Purchasers in its Group the
amount of (i) CP Costs for such Accrual Period in respect of the Purchaser
Interests of its Group, (ii) Yield allocable to such Accrual Period in respect
of the Purchaser Interests of its Group and (iii) all fees set forth in the
applicable Fee Letter which are allocable to such Accrual Period, and such
Investor Agent shall deliver a report of such amounts to the Agent. On each
Determination Date, the Agent shall calculate the amount of the Carrying and
Servicing Costs for the applicable Accrual Period (based on such reports and on
its determination of those components of Carrying and Servicing Costs not so
reported) and shall notify the RPA Seller and the Servicer of such amount.
ARTICLE IV
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FUNDING
Section 4.1 Financial Institution Funding. Each Purchaser Interest held by
a Financial Institution shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche
Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Until the RPA Seller gives notice to the Agent and the
applicable Investor Agent of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section
4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to a
Financial Institution pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the
Prime Rate. If a Financial Institution acquires by assignment from a Conduit in
its Group any Purchaser Interest pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, each
Purchaser Interest so assigned shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period
commencing on the date of any such assignment.
15
Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser
Interest held by a Financial Institution, RPA Seller shall pay to the applicable
Investor Agent (for the benefit of such Financial Institution) an aggregate
amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield for the entire Tranche Period of
each such Purchaser Interest in accordance with Article II.
Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.
(a) With consultation from (and approval by) the Investor Agent for the
related Group, the RPA Seller shall from time to time request Tranche Periods
for the Purchaser Interests held by the Financial Institutions of such Group,
provided that, if at any time the Financial Institutions of such Group shall
hold a Purchaser Interest, the RPA Seller shall always request Tranche Periods
such that at least one Tranche Period shall end on the 20th day of each month
(or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day).
(b) The RPA Seller or the applicable Investor Agent may, effective on the
last day of a Tranche Period for any Purchaser Interest (a "Terminating
Tranche"), divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests
or combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser
Interests which are either ending on such day or are newly created on such day,
provided that, in no event may a Purchaser Interest of a Conduit be combined
with a Purchaser Interest of a Financial Institution.
Section 4.4 Financial Institution Discount Rates. The RPA Seller may select
the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate for each Purchaser Interest purchased by a
Financial Institution. The RPA Seller shall by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (i) at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche
with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate
and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any
Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Prime Rate is being requested as a
new Discount Rate, give the applicable Investor Agent irrevocable notice of the
new Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating
Tranche.
Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. If any Financial Institution
notifies its Investor Agent and the Agent that it has determined that funding
its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions at a
LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of
any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of
law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its
Purchaser Interests at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate
does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser
Interest at such LIBO Rate, then the Agent shall (solely with respect to the
affected Financial Institution) suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and
require the RPA Seller to select the Prime Rate for such Financial Institution's
Purchaser Interest accruing Yield at such LIBO Rate.

18
(i) Good Title. Immediately prior to each purchase hereunder, the RPA
Seller shall be the legal and beneficial owner of the Receivables and Related

amended, or any successor statute. Such Trendwest Party is not an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
or any successor statute.
(q) Compliance with Law. Such Trendwest Party has complied in all respects
with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments,
injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject. Each Receivable,
together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules
or regulations applicable thereto (including laws, rules and regulations
relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal
credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of
such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation.
(r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Trendwest Party has
complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with
regard to each Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any
material change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material
change as to which the Agent and the Investor Agents have been notified in
accordance with Section 7.1(a)(v).
(s) Payments to Originators.
(i) With respect to each Receivable transferred to the RPA Seller under the
Sale Agreement, the RPA Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to the RSA
Seller in consideration therefor, and such transfer was not made for or on
account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by the RSA Seller of any Receivable
under the Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the
Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. ▇▇.▇▇. 101 et seq.), as amended.
(ii) With respect to each Receivable transferred to the RSA Seller under
the Transfer Agreement, the RSA Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to
the RTA Seller in consideration therefor, and such transfer was not made for or
on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by any RTA Seller of any
Receivable under the Transfer Agreement is or may be voidable under any section
of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. ▇▇.▇▇. 101 et seq.), as amended.
20
(t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each
Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the
Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable
against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Receivables
Balance as an Eligible Receivable on the RSA Purchase Date was an Eligible
Receivable on such RSA Purchase Date.
(v) Net Receivables Balance. Immediately after giving effect to each
purchase hereunder, the Net Receivables Balance is at least equal to the sum of
(i) the aggregate Capital of all the Purchaser Interests plus (ii) the Aggregate
Reserves.
(w) Mortgages and Mortgage Notes. Each Fractional Interest Receivable is
evidenced by a Mortgage Note and is secured by a Mortgage on the related
Fractional Interest and by no other collateral (unless a first priority
perfected mortgage on or security interest in such other collateral has been
created in favor of the RSA Seller and assigned by the RSA Seller to the RPA
Seller and by the RPA Seller to the Agent). The Obligor under each Fractional
Interest Receivable has been delivered the related deed, which was effective to
convey fee simple title to such Obligor in the related Fractional Interest, and
such deed has been duly recorded or registered in the Applicable Jurisdiction in
accordance with applicable laws. All applicable intangibles taxes and
documentary sales taxes in respect of each Mortgage Note have been paid in full.
The Mortgage in respect of each Fractional Interest Receivable (i) names the RSA
Seller as the first mortgagee, (ii) creates a valid and enforceable mortgage
lien or deed of trust upon the related Fractional Interest in favor of the RSA
Seller, subject to no liens, encumbrances or claims other than Permitted Liens
and (iii) has not been assigned to any Person prior to the assignments thereof
pursuant to the FI Assignment Documents. The related Mortgage contains customary
and enforceable provisions so as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related FI Unit of
the benefits of the security interests intended to be provided thereby,
including by judicial foreclosure; and there is no exemption available to the
related Obligor which would interfere with the mortgagee's right to foreclose
such Mortgage, other than that which may be available under applicable
bankruptcy, debt relief or homestead statutes.
(x) Accounting. The manner in which such Trendwest Party accounts for the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement does not
jeopardize the true sale analysis.
(y) Title to WorldMark Properties. WorldMark, directly or beneficially,
owns good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold
interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its
business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date of this Agreement, the
real and personal property of the RPA Seller is subject to no Adverse Claims
other than Adverse Claims created under the Transaction Documents.
21
(z) Liabilities of WorldMark. WorldMark:
(i) has not voluntarily incurred or at any time become voluntarily liable
for any Indebtedness;
(ii) has not voluntarily allowed its property to become subject to any
Adverse Claims, nor is any of its property subject to any Adverse Claims, other
than (A) utility or other easements or licenses unrelated to any debt of
WorldMark or (B) Adverse Claims that do not exceed, in aggregate, $100,000; and
(iii) has not involuntarily incurred and is not involuntarily liable for
any debt, nor is any of its property involuntarily subject to any Liens (other
than utility or similar easements or licenses unrelated to any debt of
WorldMark) that individually or in the aggregate (with respect to all such debt
and the obligations secured by all such Adverse Claims) exceed $1,000,000.
(aa) Environmental Matters. TWRI has conducted its operations and kept and
maintained its property in compliance with all Environmental Laws. TWRI has
performed its duties under its management agreement with WorldMark in material
compliance with all Environmental Laws.
(bb) No Subsidiaries of WorldMark. WorldMark has no subsidiaries.
(cc) Conformity of Receivable Documents. The information set forth on each
Schedule of Receivables is accurate and is consistent with the terms of the
related Receivable Documents delivered to the Custodian.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer.
(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall
be conducted by such Person (the "Servicer") so designated from time to time in
accordance with this Section 8.1. TWRI is hereby designated as, and hereby
agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The Agent may at any time following the occurrence and
during the continuation of a Servicer Default designate as Servicer any Person
to succeed TWRI or any successor Servicer.

responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) with respect to
Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its
customary practices, and (ii) with the prior written consent of the Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any other sub-servicer appointed by

other than TWRI, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by TWRI
to the Subservicer or to any other sub-servicer may, at the discretion of the
Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to TWRI and to such

34
(i) TWRI shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent, the Investor
Agents and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and
responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, and

Seller or the Subservicer or any Affiliate of Seller or the Subservicer, RPA
Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to

this Section 16.2. The RPA Seller hereby authorizes each Investor Agent to
effect purchases and Tranche Period and Discount Rate selections based on
telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or such Investor Agent in
good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the RPA Seller. The RPA Seller
agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent and each Investor Agent a written
confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of the
RPA Seller; however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the
validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action
taken by the Agent or such Investor Agent, the records of the Agent and such
Investor Agent shall govern absent manifest error.
Section 16.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or
otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate
Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to
Section 11.2 or 11.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other
Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such
Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so
that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such
Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is
thereafter recovered from such Conduit or Financial Institution, such purchase
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.
Section 16.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
(a) The RPA Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will
promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all
actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent or any Investor
Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, preserve, maintain, protect or more
fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent, any Investor
Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies
hereunder. At any time after the occurrence or during the continuation of an
Amortization Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may, direct the RPA Seller or
Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at the RPA Seller's expense,
that the Agent is acting on behalf of the ownership interests of the Purchasers
under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or
that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or
its designee. The RPA Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any
Purchaser's request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser (but not of the
Agent) in any such notification.
(b) If any Trendwest Party fails to perform any of its obligations
hereunder, the Agent, any Investor Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be
required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the Agent's
or such Investor Agent's or such Purchaser's costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the RPA Seller as provided in Section
11.3. Each Trendwest Party irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from
time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent as its
attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Trendwest Party (i) to execute on
60
behalf of the RPA Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and
(ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or
any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement
in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable
to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the
Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and
is irrevocable.
(c) If, at any time following an Amortization Event, in connection with the
sale, liquidation or disposition by the Agent, any Purchaser or any Servicer of
any Receivables, Timeshare Interests, or other Related Security, it is necessary
to obtain any license or to register or qualify any such Person or any such
collateral under any applicable law or regulation, each Trendwest Party shall,
at the expense of such Trendwest Party, take all actions that may be necessary
or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to assist in any such
licensing, registration or qualification, and the Trendwest Parties shall
reimburse such Agent or Investor Agent, each Purchaser and any such Servicer
(other than Trendwest or any Affiliate thereof) for any fees, costs or expenses
incurred thereby.
(d) Each Investor Agent and each Purchaser (i) acknowledges that the Agent
is and will be the "secured party of record" (as defined in the applicable UCC)
for purposes of any Financing Statement filed with respect to the Receivables,
Related Security and Collections, and (ii) authorizes the Agent to
execute,deliver or consent to (x) any Financing Statements or other
documentation necessary to perfect, amend or release or terminate such security
interests, (y) any Request for Release pursuant to Section 2.10 and (z) any
other release provided for in the Agreement with respect to the Receivables.

Trendwest Party's and such Purchaser's external accountants and attorneys and as

Section 16.14 Characterization.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder
shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which
purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of
ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest. Except as specifically provided
in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without
recourse to the RPA Seller; provided, however, that (i) the RPA Seller shall be
liable to each Purchaser, the Investor Agent and the Agent for all
representations, warranties and covenants made by the RPA Seller pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not
intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser, the Investor Agent or the
Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the RPA Seller or any
Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables, the
Related Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of the RPA
Seller or any Originator.
(b) If the conveyance by the RPA Seller to the Investor Agents for the
benefit of the Purchasers of interests in Receivables hereunder shall be
characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the RPA Seller hereby grants to
the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected
security interest in all of the RPA Seller's right, title and interest in, to
and under the Receivables, the Collections, each Collection Account, all Related
Security, all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables, and all
proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests
therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids.
After an Amortization Event, the Agent, the Investor Agents and the Purchasers
shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this
Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after
default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall
be cumulative.
Section 16.15 Nonrecourse Nature of Transactions. Each of the parties
hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all transactions with the Conduits
hereunder shall be without recourse of any kind to such Conduit. Each Conduit
shall have no obligation to pay any amounts owing hereunder unless and until
such Conduit has received such amounts pursuant to the Agreement. In addition,
each party agrees that each Conduit shall have no obligation to pay any party,
any amounts constituting fees, a reimbursement for expenses of indemnities,
(collectively, "Expense Claims") and such Expense Claims shall not constitute a
claim against such Conduit (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code), unless or until such Conduit has received amounts
sufficient to pay such Expense Claims pursuant to the Agreement or the Liquidity
Agreement and such amounts are not required to pay the Commercial Paper issued
on behalf of such Conduit. This provision shall survive termination of the
Agreement.
