a.m., Seattle time, on the date of such Purchase (other than a Reinvestment),
remit an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Purchaser's Pro Rata Share of
the amount of the Purchase identified in the Purchase Notice or (ii) the maximum
amount such Purchaser is committed to pay pursuant to Section 2.1, in
immediately available funds to the Agent at its Commercial Loan Service Center,
Seattle, Washington. Upon fulfillment to the Agent's satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article 6, and after receipt by the Agent of
such funds, the Agent will promptly make such immediately available funds
available to the Seller by depositing them to an ordinary checking account
maintained for such purpose by the Seller with the Agent.
(b) Reinvestments. Reinvestments shall be made by permitting
the Master Servicer to apply each Purchaser's Pro Rata Share of the Purchasers'
Share of Collected Principal towards the purchase of additional Undivided
Interests pursuant to Section 4.2.
Section 2.3 [Reserved]
Section 2.4 Conveyance of Receivables.
(a) In consideration of the obligation of the Purchasers to
make purchases from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, on each Transfer
Date, the Seller does hereby transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Agent
for the benefit of the Purchasers, without recourse (subject to the obligations
of the Seller herein), all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the
Assigned Collateral obtained by the Seller on such Transfer Date (or all
Assigned Collateral owned as of the Closing Date in the case of the first
Transfer Date).
(b) In connection with each transfer and assignment described
in Section 2.4(a), on or prior to the related Transfer Date the Seller will (i)
deliver to the Agent (A) a revised Schedule of Mortgage Loan Receivables and/or
a revised Schedule of Right to Use Receivables, as the case may be, listing all
of the Receivables being conveyed on the related Transfer Date and all of the
related Receivables previously conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) an
Officer's Certificate of the Seller to the effect that the related Receivable
Files have been delivered to or upon the order of the Master Servicer, as
custodian for the
25
Agent, and that the following legend (or the substantive equivalent thereof) has
been placed on each of the above-referenced files, on each of the data
processing reports that the Master Servicer, the Seller or either Originator
generates which are of the type which a potential purchaser or lender would
reasonably be expected to review to evaluate the Receivables: "Undivided
Interests in the Receivable(s) described herein have been sold to various
Purchasers pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Receivables Transfer
Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1997, among TW Holdings, Inc., the Purchasers
named therein, Seafirst Bank, as Agent, and Trendwest Resorts, Inc. as Master
Servicer" and (ii) file in the appropriate offices in the jurisdictions where
filing of a UCC-1 financing statement is necessary or appropriate, such UCC-1
financing statements shall be executed by the Seller as debtor, naming the
Agent, acting on behalf of the Purchasers, as secured party and listing the
related Assigned Collateral as collateral. In connection with such filing, the
Seller agrees that it shall cause to be filed all necessary continuation
statements and to take or cause to be taken such actions and execute such
documents as are necessary to perfect the interests of the Purchasers in such
Assigned Collateral. File-stamped copies of each such financing statement or
continuation statement shall be delivered to the Agent as soon they are received
by the Seller.
(c) In connection with the first transfer and assignment
hereunder of Right to Use Receivables pursuant to Section 2.4(a), the Seller
will deliver to the Agent an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Agent
will have a first perfected security interest in such Receivables, all
Collections on or in respect of such Receivables after the related Cutoff Date
and all proceeds of the foregoing.
(d) On the Closing Date and each anniversary of the first
Settlement Date, the Seller will deliver to the Agent an opinion of counsel to
the effect that in respect of all Receivables transferred and assigned pursuant
to Section 2.4(a) since the first such transfer and assignment (or, in the case
of each anniversary of the first Settlement Date after the first such
anniversary, Receivables so transferred and assigned during the past year) the
Agent has a first perfected security interest in such Receivables, all
Collections on or in respect of such Receivables after the related Cutoff Dates
and all proceeds of the foregoing.
(e) It is the intention of the Seller and the other parties to
this Agreement that the transfers and assignments contemplated by this Agreement
shall constitute a sale of Receivables in an aggregate principal amount up to
the Commitment Amount from the Seller to the Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers,
and the beneficial interest in and title to such Receivables
26
shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing or a
bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. In the
event that the transfers and assignments contemplated by this Agreement are
deemed to be other than a sale, this Agreement shall be deemed to be and in such
event hereby is the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Agent in
the Assigned Collateral and the Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, shall have
all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC. In such
event, the Seller agrees to take such action and execute such documents as the
Agent shall reasonably request in order fully to realize the benefits of such
secured party status, including, without limitation, powers of attorney,
financing statements, notices of lien or other instruments or documents.
Section 2.5 Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in
servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Agent, upon
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, revocably appoints the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer accepts such appointment, to act as the agent
of the Agent as custodian of the following documents or instruments, directly or
through one or more Subservicers, which are hereby constructively delivered to
the Agent, and of which the Master Servicer shall acknowledge receipt thereof,
with respect to each Receivable assigned and transferred on the related Transfer
Date:
(i) the fully executed original of the Receivable;
(ii) documents evidencing or relating to any insurance policy
relating to such Receivable, the related Obligor and, if such Receivable is a
Mortgage Loan Receivable, the related Mortgaged Property;
(iii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan Receivable, the original
Mortgage Note endorsed (which endorsement may be by manual or facsimile
signature) by the Seller without recourse to the order of the Agent in the
following form: "Without recourse, pay to the order of Seattle-First National
Bank, as Agent of the Purchasers under the Amended and Restated Receivables
Transfer Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1994, among TW Holdings, Inc., the
Agent, the Purchasers and JELD-WEN, inc.";
(iv) in the case of a Mortgage Loan Receivable, a recorded
Assignment to the Agent, acting on behalf of the Purchasers, of the related
Mortgage or, if the Seller provides the Agent with an opinion of counsel
admitted to practice law in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located to the effect that recordation is not necessary to secure the interest
in such Mortgaged Property in the name of the Agent, an assignment in recordable
form;
27
(v) in the case of a Mortgage Loan Receivable,
originals or recorded copies of all intervening Assignments with
evidence of recording indicated thereon;
(vi) in the case of a Mortgage Loan Receivable, the
related Mortgage, with evidence of recording indicated thereon;
(vii) originals of all assumption, modification and substitution
agreements where the terms or provisions of such Receivable and, if such
Receivable is a Mortgage Loan Receivable, the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note,
have been modified or such Receivable, Mortgage or Mortgage Note has been
assumed; and
(viii) copies of all other Receivable Documents and any and all
other documents that the Seller, the related Obligor, the related Originator or
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in accordance with
its customary procedures, relating to such Receivable, the related Obligor and,
if such Receivable is a Mortgage Loan Receivable, the related Mortgaged
Property.
Section 2.6 Duties of Master Servicer as Custodian.
(a) The Master Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall
hold the Receivable Files on behalf of the Agent for the use and benefit of all
Purchasers, and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and
computer systems pertaining to each Receivable. The Receivable Files will be
marked and physically separated from the files relating to all other right to
use timeshare receivables and mortgage loan timeshare receivables that the
Master Servicer services on behalf of itself or others. In performing its duties
as custodian, the Master Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and attention that it exercises with respect to comparable
receivables that it services for itself or others. The Master Servicer shall
conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic reviews of the files of all
receivables owned or serviced by it which shall include the Receivable Files
held by it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and
computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Agent to verify the
accuracy of the Master Servicer's record keeping. The Master Servicer shall
promptly report to the Agent any failure on its part to hold the Receivable
Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided
and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.
(b) The Master Servicer shall maintain each Receivable
File at one of the locations set forth in Schedule 5 hereto, or
at such other location or locations as shall be specified to the
Agent by 30 days' prior written notice (and each such location
shall be added to a revised Schedule 5). The Master Servicer
28
shall make available to the Agent or its duly authorized representatives,
attorneys or auditors the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and
computer systems maintained by the Master Servicer at such times as the Agent
may reasonably request.
(c) Upon instruction from the Agent, the Master Servicer shall
release any document in the Receivable Files to the Agent or its agent or
designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Agent may
designate, as soon as practicable. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible
for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Agent to return any document or
any delay in doing so.
Section 2.7 Instructions; Authority to Act. The Master Servicer shall
be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable
Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an authorized officer
of the Agent. A certified copy of a bylaw or of a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Agent shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of
any such authorized officer to act and shall be considered to be in full force
and effect until receipt by the Master Servicer of written notice to the
contrary is given by the Agent.
Section 2.8 Indemnification by Master Servicer as Custodian. The Master
Servicer, as custodian, shall indemnify the Agent and the Purchasers for any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or
expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted
against the Agent and the Purchasers as the result of any improper act or
omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Master
Servicer, as custodian, of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting
from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Agent, any
Purchaser or any successor Master Servicer.
Section 2.9 Effective Period and Termination. The Master Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall
continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If,
pursuant to Section 10.1, the Master Servicer shall resign as Master Servicer or
if all of its rights and obligations have been terminated, the appointment of
the Master Servicer as custodian shall be terminated by the Agent (acting upon
the direction of the Required Purchasers), in the same manner as the Agent or
such Purchasers may terminate the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 10.1. The Agent may terminate the Master Servicer's
appointment as custodian, with cause at any time upon written notice to the
Master Servicer, and without cause upon
29
30 days' prior written notice to the Master Servicer. As soon as practicable
after any termination of such appointment, the Master Servicer shall deliver the
Receivable Files to or upon the order of the Agent at such place or places as
the Agent may reasonably designate. Notwithstanding the termination of the
Master Servicer as custodian, the Agent agrees that upon any such termination,
the Agent shall provide, or cause its agent to provide, access to the Receivable
Files to the Master Servicer for the purpose of carrying out its duties and
responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Receivables hereunder.
ARTICLE 3
EARNED YIELD
Section 3.1 Earned Yield. The Purchasers shall be entitled to receive,
and the Seller agrees to cause the Master Servicer to pay to the Agent, out of
Collections, for the account of each Purchaser, an amount (the "Earned Yield")
equal to the product of (i) the Aggregate Net Investment from the date an
Undivided Interest was first purchased until the Aggregate Net Investment is
reduced to zero on a day following the Commitment Termination Date and (ii)(A)
the applicable Yield Rate at all times prior to a Notice Date or (B) the
Termination Event Rate at all times on and after a Notice Date.
Section 3.2 Selection of Yield. The Seller may, subject to the
requirements of this Section, on at least three Business Days, prior written
notice, select the LIBOR Rate as the Yield Rate for all or any portion of the
Aggregate Net Investment for any applicable Yield Period. Such notice (a "Yield
Notice") shall be deemed delivered on receipt by the Agent except that any Yield
Notice received by the Agent after 11:00 a.m., Seattle time, on any day, shall
be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Each
Yield Notice shall identify, subject to the conditions of this Section, the
dollar amount of the Tranche for which the LIBOR Rate is to apply and the Yield
Period selected by the Seller. Such Yield Notice shall be irrevocable and shall
constitute a representation and warranty by the Seller that as of the date of
such Yield Notice, the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in
Article 7 are true and correct and that no Unmatured Termination Event or
Termination Event has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of a Yield
Notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser by telephone (confirmed
by facsimile transmission) of the information set forth therein. The Seller's
right to select the LIBOR Rate as the Yield Rate for all or any portion of the
Aggregate Net Investment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the
amount of any Tranche for which the yield is to be calculated at a particular
LIBOR Rate for the same Yield Period shall be an integral multiple of not less
than $100,000;
30
(ii) a LIBOR Rate may not be selected for all or any portion of a Tranche which
is already accruing interest at a LIBOR Rate unless such selection is only to
become effective at the maturity of the Yield Period then in effect; (iii) the
Agent or any Purchaser shall not have given notice pursuant to Section 3.4 that
the LIBOR Rate is not available; and (iv) no Unmatured Termination Event or
Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing. Any Yield Notice which
specifies a LIBOR Rate but which fails to specify a Yield Period shall be deemed
to have specified a Yield Period ending on a Settlement Date nearest to the date
one month after the first day of such Yield Period. The Yield Notice may be
given with and contained in any Purchase Notice. In the absence of an effective
request for the application of a LIBOR Rate for all or any portion of the
Aggregate Net Investment, the Yield Rate for the Aggregate Net Investment (or
portion thereof) shall be the Reference Rate.
Section 3.3 Applicable Days for Computation of Yield. Computations of
Earned Yield based on (i) the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days, and (ii) the Reference Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such Earned Yield is payable.
Section 3.4 Unavailable LIBOR Rate. If in the reasonable judgment of
any Purchaser, for any reason fair and adequate means do not exist for
establishing a particular LIBOR Rate or that obtaining a yield on any Tranche at
a LIBOR Rate by such Purchaser has become unlawful, such Purchaser may give
notice thereof to the Agent and the Seller. After such notice has been given and
until such Purchaser notifies the Seller and the Agent that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be
available. Thereafter, any attempt by the Seller to select the LIBOR Rate as the
Yield Rate shall be ineffective. If the circumstances giving rise to the notice
described herein no longer exist, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller and
Agent in writing, and the Seller shall then once again become entitled to select
the LIBOR Rate as the Yield Rate in accordance with Section 3.2.
Section 3.5 Yield Protection. In the event that after the date hereof
any change occurs in any applicable law, regulation, guideline, treaty or
directive or interpretation thereof by any authority charged with the
administration or interpretation thereof, or any condition is imposed by any
authority after the date hereof or any change occurs in any condition imposed by
any authority on or prior to the date hereof which:
(i) subjects any Purchaser to any Tax, or changes the
basis of taxation of any payments to any Purchaser made under any
31
Facility Document with respect to any Undivided Interest owned by it or with
respect to its obligation or right to make Purchases (other than a change in the
rate of tax based solely on the overall net or gross income of such Purchaser);
(ii) imposes, modifies or determines applicable any reserve,
deposit, assessment or similar requirement against any assets held by, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any office of any Purchaser;
(iii) affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by any Purchaser or any corporation controlling such Purchaser with
respect to any Undivided Interest owned by it or with respect to its obligation
or right to make Purchases; or
(iv) imposes upon any Purchaser any other condition with
respect to any Undivided Interest owned by it or with respect to its obligation
or right to make Purchases; and, the result thereof is, or would be, (a) to
increase the cost to such Purchaser in respect of making, issuing, maintaining
or committing to make, issue or maintain any Undivided Interest (other than any
Undivided Interest to the extent that the Reference Rate is applicable thereto),
(b) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser
under any Facility Document or (c) in the reasonable determination of such
Purchaser, to reduce the rate of return on such Purchaser's capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a
level below that which such Purchaser would otherwise have achieved, then, upon
demand by such Purchaser, the Seller shall immediately pay to such Purchaser
additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate it for such increased
costs incurred or reduced receipts suffered thereby for a period not to exceed
90 days prior to the date of such demand.
A certificate of a Purchaser as to such increased costs incurred or
reduced receipts suffered as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i)
through (iv) above submitted to the Seller specifying the event causing such
increased cost or reduced receipt and setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation made to determine the amount of such increased cost or reduced
receipt and the assumptions used in calculating such amount shall be
presumptively correct as to the amount thereof, if such assumptions are
reasonable and there are not demonstrable errors in such calculation. Each
Purchaser shall exercise reasonable efforts to minimize such increased costs or
reduced receipts.
The protection of this Section shall be available to each Purchaser
regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the
relevant law, regulation, guideline,
32
treaty, directive, condition or interpretation thereof. In the event that the
Seller pays any Purchaser the amount necessary to compensate such Purchaser for
any charge, deduction or payment incurred or made by it as provided in this
Section, and such charge, deduction or payment or any part thereof is
subsequently returned to such Purchaser as a result of the final determination
of the invalidity or inapplicability of the relevant law, regulation, guideline,
treaty, directive or condition, then such Purchaser shall remit to the Seller
the amount paid by the Seller which has actually been returned to such Purchaser
(together with any interest actually paid to Purchaser on such returned amount)
less such Purchaser's costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
governmental regulation or any challenge made by such Purchaser with respect to
its validity or applicability.
Section 3.6 Funding Losses. In the event that any Purchaser shall incur
any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Purchaser to finance a portion of the Aggregate Net Investment for which Earned
Yield was or was to be calculated at the LIBOR Rate) as a result of
(i) any payment in respect of any Tranche made on a date other
than the Settlement Date initially established for such Tranche (to the extent
that the Earned Yield related thereto was initially calculated by reference to
the LIBOR Rate) whether voluntary, involuntary, the result of the collection
efforts of the Agent or one or more Purchasers, or the result of any change in a
Payment Period following a Notice Date;
(ii) any repurchase of all or any portion of a Tranche
pursuant to Section 15.1 on a day other than a Settlement Date for such Tranche
(to the extent that the Earned Yield related to such Tranche was calculated by
reference to the LIBOR Rate); or
(iii) any Purchase (in connection with which a Yield Notice
selecting a LIBOR Rate was delivered) not being made in accordance with the
Purchase Notice therefor;
such Purchaser shall give the Seller and the Agent written notice of such event
specifying the amount that will, in the reasonable opinion of such Purchaser,
reimburse it for such loss or expense and setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation made to determine the amount of such loss or expense and the
assumptions used in calculating such amount shall be presumptively correct as to
the amount thereof, if such assumptions are reasonable and there are not
demonstrable errors in such calculation. The Seller shall, within five Business
Days after the receipt of such notice, pay such amount to such Purchaser.
33
ARTICLE 4
COLLECTIONS AND SETTLEMENTS
Section 4.1 Collections. On each day during each Collection Period, the
Master Servicer shall collect the Purchasers' Share of Collected Principal and
the Purchasers, Share of Collected Interest received or deemed received on such
day and shall hold such funds in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers and
shall collect all other Collected Principal and Collected Interest so received
or deemed received and shall hold such funds in trust for the benefit of the
Seller. Collections received by the Master Servicer shall at all times be
segregated from other funds of the Master Servicer. In the event that the Seller
receives any payments on or in respect of a Receivable subsequent to the related
Transfer Date, the Seller shall remit such amount to the Master Servicer within
two Business Days of receipt.
Section 4.2 Reinvestments. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2, the Seller's right to make a contrary
election pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii) and subject to Section 4.3(b)(ii),
provided that no Notice Date shall have occurred, on each Settlement Date on or
prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have reinvested (for the benefit of the Purchasers) the Purchasers' Share of
Collected Principal received during the related Collection Period in additional
Undivided Interests in the Receivables Pool. In the event any such funds cannot
be reinvested on the date received because the conditions set forth in Section
6.2 have not been satisfied, they shall be deemed reinvested on the first day
thereafter on which such conditions shall be satisfied unless sooner paid to the
Agent on any Settlement Date. Neither the Purchasers' Investment, the Earned
Yield thereon nor any Obligation shall be deemed reduced or paid on account of
such unreinvested Collections until such amount is paid to the Agent on a
Settlement Date.
Section 4.3 Settlement Procedures.
(a) Prior to Termination Event. Subject to Section 4.4 and
except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(b), on each Settlement Date which is
the last day of a Payment Period, the Seller shall cause the Master Servicer to
pay to the Agent:
(i) from the Collected Interest collected since
the last Settlement Date on which any payment was due under this Section and
from the Collected Interest collected prior thereto and allocated but unpaid
with respect to the Earned Yield on the Aggregate Net Investment (as Collected
Interest has been reduced to pay the Servicing Fee, including any unpaid
Servicing Fee in respect of one or more prior Collection Periods, to the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 10.8), the lesser of (A) the unpaid
34
Earned Yield on the Purchasers' Investment in each Maturing Tranche accrued to
(but excluding) such Settlement Date, or (B) the amount of the Purchasers' Share
of Collected Interest collected since the last Settlement Date on which any
payment was due under this Section plus the amount of the Purchasers' Share of
Collected Interest collected prior thereto and allocated but unpaid with respect
to the Earned Yield on the Aggregate Net Investment (as Collected Interest has
been so reduced); and
(ii) from the Collected Principal collected since
the last Settlement Date on which any payment was due under this Section, the
amount of the Purchasers' Share of Collected Principal so collected less any
amounts that the Master Servicer has been deemed to have reinvested from such
Collections pursuant to Section 4.2; provided, that notwithstanding the terms of
Section 4.2, if on any Settlement Date which is the last day of a Payment
Period, the Seller so notifies the Agent in writing, the Master Servicer shall
pay to the Agent any amount selected by the Seller up to the amount of the
Purchasers' Share of Collected Principal collected since the last Settlement
Date on which any payment was due under this Section. If the Seller elects to
cause the Master Servicer to make such a payment, the amount so paid shall be
deemed not to have been reinvested pursuant to Section 4.2.
(b) Subsequent to Termination Event. If a Notice Date shall
have occurred on or before any Settlement Date, in addition to all other
remedies provided for herein, on such Settlement Date the Seller shall cause the
Master Servicer to pay to the Agent:
(i) to the extent of the Purchasers' Share of
such Collected Interest, all Collected Interest collected since the last
Settlement Date on which any payment was due under this Section (as Collected
Interest has been reduced to pay the Servicing Fee, including any unpaid
Servicing Fee in respect of one or more prior Collection Periods); and
(ii) to the extent of the Purchasers' Share of
such Collected Principal, all Collected Principal collected since the last
Settlement Date on which any payment was due under this Section, the amount of
the Purchasers' Share of Collected Principal so collected; provided, that to the
extent that pursuant to Section 4.2, the Master Servicer would have been deemed
to have reinvested some or all of the Purchasers' Share of Collected Principal
which the Seller is required to pay to the Agent pursuant to Section 4.3(b),
such reinvestment shall be deemed not to have occurred.
Section 4.4 Deposits to Collection Account to Avoid Break-
Funding Costs. In the event that on any Settlement Date the
35
Seller would, pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii), be required to disburse principal
payments to the Agent for a Tranche for which the LIBOR Rate was selected as the
Yield Rate prior to the last day of the applicable Payment Period for such
Tranche, in order to avoid possible funding losses which could result from such
accelerated payment, on such Settlement Date the Seller shall deposit to the
Collection Account, in lieu of paying such amount to the Agent pursuant to
Section 4.3(a)(ii), an amount equal to (a) such amount less (b) the sum of (i)
the Dollar amount of all then Maturing Tranches for which the Earned Yield is
calculated based on the LIBOR Rate and (ii) the Dollar amount of all Tranches
(whether Maturing Tranches or not) for which the Earned Yield is calculated
based on the Reference-Rate. Neither the Purchasers' Investment, the Earned
Yield thereon nor any Obligation shall be deemed reduced or paid on account of
the deposit of such amounts to the Collection Account.
Section 4.5 Deemed Collections. If on any day, any of the Seller's
representations or warranties set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 shall prove
to have been untrue when made with respect to any Receivable in the Receivables
Pool or the Seller shall be in breach of its obligations under Sections 8.1(d),
8.1(e), 8.1(f) or 9.1 in respect of any Receivable in the Receivables Pool, then
the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such
Receivable in full, and the Seller shall transfer to the Master Servicer an
amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivable, together
with interest thereon at the related Receivable Interest Rate through the last
day of the Collection Period in which deemed Collection occurs. The Master
Servicer shall reinvest and distribute each such payment pursuant to Sections
4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, as the case may be, as if such payment actually had been
received by the Seller on such day from the Obligor of such Receivable. Payments
under this Section shall not constitute a payment under the indemnity provisions
of Article 14.
Section 4.6 Allocation of Payments and Collections.
(a) Except as otherwise required by law or the related
Receivable Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6(b), all
amounts collected on or in respect of each Receivable shall be applied first
against fees, expenses and indemnities due in respect of such Receivable,
second, against interest due in respect of such Receivable and thereafter
against the obligations of the related Obligor to repay the principal amount
thereof.
(b) On each Settlement Date, Collections (other than
Collections reinvested pursuant to Section 4.2) shall be applied by the Master
Servicer in the following amounts and in the following order of priority:
36
(i) to the Master Servicer, an amount equal to
the Servicing Fee in respect of the related Collection Period and any unpaid
Servicing Fee in respect of one or more prior Collection Periods;
(ii) to the Agent, any amount payable pursuant to
Section 4.3;
(iii) to the Agent, an amount equal to all
Program Costs due to the Agent payable during the related
Collection Period; and
(iv) any remaining Collections shall be paid to
the Seller, free and clear of all Liens.
Section 4.7 Order of Distribution by the Agent. On each Settlement Date
on which the Agent receives any payments pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 4.8, the
Agent shall distribute such funds to the Purchasers first in payment of the
unpaid Earned Yield on the Purchasers' Investment in the Maturing Tranche
accrued to (but excluding) such Settlement Date, and thereafter in reduction of
the Aggregate Net Investment, in each case until reduced to zero.
Section 4.8 Collection Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall
establish an account with the Agent in the name of the Agent for the benefit of
the Agent and the Purchasers (the "Collection Account") which account, together
with all monies on deposit therein and investments thereof, shall be under the
exclusive dominion and control of the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers).
Monies shall be deposited in the Collection Account from time to time as
described in Sections 4.4 and 4.9. Neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer
shall have any right to make withdrawals or distributions from the Collection
Account nor shall any additional amounts be deposited to or commingled with
amounts in the Collection Account except as provided in Section 4.4, 4.5 and
this Section.
(b) on any Settlement Date which is the last day of a Payment
Period, if a Notice Date shall not have occurred and if any amounts have been
deposited to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.4 which have not yet
been disbursed to the Agent ("Section 4.4 Deposits"), the Agent shall withdraw
such monies, to the extent that such monies, together with all amounts payable
under Section 4.3(a)(ii) on such Settlement Date, do not exceed the sum of (i)
the amount of all then Maturing Tranches for which the Earned Yield is
calculated based on the LIBOR Rate and (ii) the amount of all Tranches (whether
Maturing Tranches or not) for which the Earned Yield is calculated based on the
Reference Rate. Section 4.4 Deposits withdrawn by the Agent
37
hereunder shall be applied as if they had been received in payment from the
Seller on the date withdrawn pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(ii).
(c) If a Notice Date shall have occurred and the Agent has
delivered notice to the Seller that all Collections should thereafter be
deposited through the Lock Box Network, the Master Servicer shall cause to be
deposited into the Collection Account (i) all Collections received by it or a
Subservicer within two Business Days of receipt and (ii) all monies on deposit
in the Lock Box Accounts and any New Lock Box Accounts on the Business Day
immediately preceding the last day of each Collection Period and on each other
Business Day or Business Days during each Collection Period as selected by the
Agent (acting upon instructions of the Required Purchasers). On the related
Settlement Date, such monies will be applied in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Seller would otherwise be obligated to pay and apply pursuant to

if any, shall be applied against accrued but unpaid obligations and after such
unpaid Obligations are satisfied, delivered to the Seller on such Settlement
Date.

of or on account of such investments and (ii) the Agent shall at all times be a
pledgee in possession of such investments. Interest accruing on and income
earned in respect of amounts and investments in the Collection Account shall be
retained in the Collection Account and shall be applied against accrued but
unpaid Obligations and after such unpaid Obligations are satisfied, delivered to
the Seller on each Settlement Date. The Seller agrees that all income earned on
amounts in the Collection Account shall be earned by the Seller and reported on
its tax returns. To the extent that the Agent is otherwise liable for the
payment of any Taxes in respect of monies on deposit from time to time in the
Collection Account, the Seller shall indemnify the Agent in respect thereof and
shall promptly reimburse the Agent for any such Taxes paid.
Section 4.9 Lock Boxes. After a Termination Event has occurred and the
Agent has delivered notice to the Seller and the Master Servicer that all
Collections should thereafter be deposited through the Lock Box Network, the
Seller shall instruct or otherwise cause all Obligors to make all payments under
the Receivables directly to a Lock Box and shall instruct the applicable Lock
Box Bank to deposit all cash, checks and drafts received therein directly to a
Lock Box Account. The Seller
38
shall not add any bank as a Lock Box Bank, any post office or bank box as a Lock
Box, or any account as a Lock Box Account (including, without limitation, the
addition of any such Lock Box Bank, Lock Box or Lock Box Account in connection
with the establishment of a Lock Box Network) unless (a) the Agent shall have
received five days' prior written notice of such addition, (b) the Agent shall
have received a copy of any new Lock Box Agreement and (c) the Agent shall have
received undated executed copies of Lock Box Notices substantially in the form
of Exhibit F to each Lock Box Bank for each Lock Box and Lock Box Account. The
Seller shall not terminate any bank as a Lock Box Bank, any post office or bank
box as a Lock Box or any account as a Lock Box Account unless the Agent shall
have received 15 days' prior written notice of such termination. After the
occurrence of a Termination Event, and after the Agent has delivered notice to
the Seller that all Collections should thereafter be deposited through the Lock
Box Network, (i) upon receipt of notice from the Agent, the Seller shall
instruct the Lock Box Banks to segregate all Collections from all other
collections received in such Lock Box and to deposit such Collections into an
account designated by the Agent, (ii) the Agent is hereby authorized, whether or
not it is then serving as Collection Agent, to date and deliver to the Lock Box
Banks the Lock Box Notices delivered to the Agent hereunder and (iii) upon the
receipt of notice from the Agent, the Seller shall (A) establish and maintain at
its expense new Lock Boxes (the "New Lock Boxes") into which only Collections
will be received, (B) open new Lock Box Accounts (the "New Lock Box Accounts")
into which only Collections on or in respect of the Assigned Collateral will be
deposited and (C) notify the Obligors that all future payments by such Obligors
under the Receivables are to be made to such new Lock Boxes. The Seller hereby
agrees that the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall have the
exclusive ownership and control of the New Lock Boxes and the New Lock Box
Accounts, and shall take any further action, including, without limitation,
executing additional Lock Box Notices, to transfer or establish such control. In
case any authorized signatory of the Seller whose signature shall appear on any
Lock Box Notice shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such
Lock Box Notice, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for
all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such
delivery. Monies on deposit in the Lock Box Accounts and any New Lock Box
Accounts will be withdrawn therefrom and deposited into the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 4.8(c).
ARTICLE 5

exercise, set off or otherwise) on account of the Aggregate Net Investment,
Earned Yield or otherwise (other than pursuant to Sections 3.5 and 3.6) in
excess of such Purchaser's Pro Rata Share of payments then or therewith obtained
by all Purchasers, such Purchaser shall purchase from the other Purchasers such
participations in the interests held by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Purchaser to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with
each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess
payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Purchaser, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Purchaser that has sold a
participation to the purchasing Purchaser shall repay to the purchasing
Purchaser the purchase price (without interest) to the ratable extent of such
recovery. The Seller agrees that any Purchaser so purchasing a participation
from another Purchaser pursuant to this clause may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of set off with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Purchaser were the direct Purchaser from the
Seller in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, any Purchaser receives a secured
40
claim in lieu of a set off to which this clause would apply, such Purchaser
shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured
claim and share the benefits thereof in such a manner that the remaining
Purchasers will receive the same benefits as they would otherwise have been
entitled to receive under this clause if a set off had been permitted.
(d) When any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is due on
a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the immediately
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the
computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

the extent applicable, is in compliance with all permitted encumbrances
respecting the right to the use of such Mortgaged Property; each of the
assignment of such Mortgage from the Seller to the Agent and each related
endorsement of the Mortgage Note constitutes an endorsement of the Seller, of

Mortgage from the Seller to the Agent (and the recording thereof in the

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

SERVICING, ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section 10.1 Designation of Master Servicer.
(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the
Receivables shall be conducted by the Master Servicer designated from time to
time in accordance with this Section. Until the Agent (acting upon the direction
of the Required Purchasers) gives notice (the "Successor Notice") to the Seller
and the Master Servicer of the designation of a new Master Servicer, TRI is
hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations
of, Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Agent
and the Purchasers agree not to provide the Seller and the Master Servicer with
a Successor Notice unless (i) a Termination Event shall have occurred and be
continuing or (ii) the Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall
fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Sections

for five Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the

(b) Upon receipt of a Successor Notice or upon resignation of
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.1(c), the Master Servicer will take
such actions as are necessary to best facilitate the transition of the
performance of the Master Servicer's activities to the new Master Servicer and
the Seller and Master Servicer shall use their best efforts to assist the new
Master Servicer to assume and perform the duties of the Master Servicer
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer agrees that:
(i) the Agent may direct some or all of the
Obligors to make payment of all amounts payable under any Receivables directly
to the Agent, to the new Master Servicer or through the Lock Box Network;
60
(ii) the Master Servicer shall, at the Agent's
request and at the Master Servicer's expense, give notice of the Purchasers'
ownership of the Receivables to each obligor and direct that payments be made
directly to the Agent, to the new Master Servicer or through the Lock Box
Network;
(iii) the Master Servicer shall, at the Agent's
request, (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records
(including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and disks) in its

the Related Security, or which are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect
such Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Agent or the new
Master servicer at a place selected by the Agent, (B) segregate all cash, checks
and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections

such cash, checks and instruments, duly indorsed or with duly executed
instruments of transfer, to the Agent, the new Master Servicer or the Collection
Account, as the case may be, and (C) permit the successor Master Servicer and
its agents, employees and assignees access to its facilities and its books,
records, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, computer
programs, tapes and disks) related to the Receivables; and

authorized to take any and all steps in the Seller's name and on behalf of the

limitation, endorsing the Seller's name on checks and other instruments
representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related
Receivable Documents.
(c) The Master Servicer's authorization to act as servicer of
the Receivables under this Agreement shall terminate on the first day following

shall have been delivered to TRI, it shall continue to perform all of the duties
of the Master Servicer hereunder unless it shall have determined that the
performance of such duties shall no longer be permitted by applicable law.
61
Section 10.2 Duties of the Master Servicer: Subservicers.
(a) The Master Servicer, acting alone and/or through one or
more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent for the Agent and
the Purchasers, manage, service, administer and make collections on or in
respect of the Receivables. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the
Receivables shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual
procedures of institutions which service unsecured timeshare receivables and
timeshare receivables secured by mortgages and, to the extent more exacting, the
procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of the foregoing timeshare
receivables serviced by it for its own account. The duties of the Master
Servicer shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to
inquiries of obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending
payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to obligors, accounting
for collections and furnishing monthly statements to the Agent and the
Purchasers substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, which statements shall
be delivered no later than the Settlement Date in each month. Each monthly
statement shall be accompanied by a current certificate from each Subservicer
(and from the Master Servicer with respect to any portion of the Receivables
Pool serviced by the Master Servicer itself) stating that to the best of the
knowledge and information of such Subservicer (or of the Master Servicer, if
applicable) after examination of relevant books and records, the Seller has not
sold except to the Agent, or granted a security interest in, any Receivable
comprised in that portion of the Receivables Pool serviced by such Subservicer
(or by the Master Servicer, if applicable). The Master Servicer shall have,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, full power and authority, acting alone
and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this
Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing,
administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Agent,
acting on behalf of the Purchasers, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself,
the Agent, the Purchasers or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, in the case of
Mortgage Loan Receivables, the related Mortgaged Properties. The Agent shall
furnish the Master Servicer with all powers of attorney or other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
(b) The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing
Agreements with one or more Subservicers approved by the Agent
for the servicing and administration of certain of the
62
Receivables. The Master Servicer shall notify the Agent promptly if a
Subservicer is hired. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be
taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Receivables include actions taken
or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Agent.
Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not
inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer
have agreed. With the approval of the Master Servicer and the Agent, a
Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but
such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or
different forms of Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of the
Agent or the Purchasers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement;
provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing
Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer
shall either act directly as servicer of the related Receivables or enter into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Agent which
will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
the Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer
or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Agent
and the Purchasers for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreement or arrangements
or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Receivables. The Master Servicer shall be
entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of
the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Receivables involving a
Subservicer or an affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such shall
be deemed to be between the Subservicer or other affiliate of the Master
Servicer, as the
63
case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and the Agent and the Purchasers
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set
forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the Agent and the
Purchasers may rely upon all representations and warranties of the Subservicer
contained therein.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
servicing any of the Receivables (including, but not limited to, by reason of a
Termination Event), the Agent or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the
Agent, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master
Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Agent in its sole
discretion. In such event, the Agent, its designee or the successor servicer for
the Agent shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest
therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such
Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had
been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Agent but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to each such Subservicing Agreement and the Receivables then
being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including, without
limitation, computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in
connection with the servicing of the Receivables at the address of the Master
Servicer set forth in Section 15.5, at one of the addresses listed on Schedule 5
hereto, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Agent,
at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master Servicer are
located, and shall give the Agent access to all data at all reasonable times,
and, during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Master Servicer shall,
on demand of the Agent, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent all data
(including, without limitation, computerized records and, to the extent
transferable, related operating software) necessary for the servicing of the
Receivables and all monies collected by it and required to be deposited in or
credited to the Collection Account.
(c) The Master Servicer may, from time to time and with the
consent of the Agent, make changes to the Credit and Collection Policies,
provided that no such change can materially impair the collectibility of any
Receivable. Copies of each such
64
revised Credit and Collection Policies shall replace the version existing as
Schedule 1 or 2, as the case may be.
(d) All expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, including
expenses incurred by any Subservicer, in performing their obligations hereunder
shall be for the account of the Master Servicer, and the Purchasers and the
Agent shall have no obligations to make any payments in respect thereof.
(e) No later than one Business Day prior to each Settlement
Date, the Master Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent by telecopier
and to each Purchaser by overnight courier service for delivery on the
immediately succeeding Business Day, a settlement certificate, certified by an
officer of the Master Servicer, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E.
Section 10.3 Collection Responsibilities; Receivable
Modifications.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Agent, collect
all payments made under each Receivable and shall use its reasonable efforts to
collect from each Obligor all payments on or in respect of such Receivable after
the related Cutoff Date. The Master Servicer may in its discretion waive any
assumption fees, late payment charges, charges for checks returned for
insufficient funds, prepayment fees, if any, or other fees which may be
collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the
Agent shall modify, waive or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan Receivable
unless a default thereon has occurred or is imminent or unless such
modification, amendment or waiver shall not (i) alter the interest rate on, the
principal amount of, or the timing of payments of interest and principal in
respect of, such Mortgage Loan Receivable, (ii) materially impair the related
Mortgaged Property or (iii) reduce materially the likelihood that payments of
interest and principal on such Mortgage Loan Receivable shall be made when due;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not reschedule the payment of
delinquent payments more than one time in any 12 consecutive months with respect
to any obligor.
(b) Subject to Section 4.3, the Master Servicer shall remit,
by any commercially acceptable method, to the appropriate party the portion of
such payments representing Miscellaneous Payments, it being understood that such
Miscellaneous Payments may be retained by the Master Servicer or applied on
behalf of obligors, as the case may be; provided, that the Master Servicer shall
remit portions of Miscellaneous Payments constituting homeowners' association
fees and condominium association fees to
65
the related condominium association or homeowners, association,
as the case may be.
(c) All Collections shall be segregated from funds of the
Master Servicer and other funds received or collected by the Master Servicer for
Persons other than the Purchasers and, to the extent of the Purchasers' Share
thereof, all Collections shall be held in trust by the Master Servicer for the
exclusive benefit of the Purchasers.
Section 10.4 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall maintain or cause each
Association to maintain fire insurance with extended coverage on the Project in
an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements
which are a part of such Project, but in no event less than such amount as is
necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause in the related
hazard insurance policy. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake, flood
or other additional insurance is to be required of any Obligor or the
Association other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
The Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, or cause the
Association to prepare and present, claims under each insurance policy
maintained pursuant to this Section in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to
enable the Association or the Master Servicer, as appropriate, to receive
payment or to permit recovery thereunder and to restore and repair the Project
and the Mortgaged Property. Each insurance policy maintained under this Section
shall be issued by an issuer with a General Policy Rating of "A" or better in
Best's Key Rating Guide.
(b) The Master Servicer shall cause each Subservicer and any
successor Subservicers to keep in force during the term of this Agreement a
policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the operation
of such Subservicer's procedures, and a fidelity bond. Such policy or policies
and fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of FHLMC if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans and the
Subservicer were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for FHLMC. In
the event any Subservicing Agreement is terminated and the Master Servicer does
not enter into a subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the Master
Servicer shall obtain one or more policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the operation of the Master Servicer's procedures and one or more
fidelity bonds in such form and amount as specified in the immediately preceding
sentence. The Master Servicer shall be
66
deemed to have complied with this provision if an affiliate of the Master
Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the
terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded
thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Each such errors and omissions policy
and fidelity bond shall not be cancelled without 30 days, prior written notice
to the Agent.
(c) The Master Servicer shall cause each Subservicer and any
successor Subservicer to keep in force during the term of this Agreement
insurance coverage in such amounts as shall be normal and usual in the business.
Section 10.5 Assumption and Substitution Agreements. The Master
Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption or substitution
agreement from or with the Person to whom property subject to a Mortgage has
been or is about to be conveyed. The Master Servicer is also authorized, if
required by law to do so, to release the original Obligor from liability upon
the Mortgage Loan Receivable and substitute the new mortgagor as Obligor
thereon. In connection with such assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer
shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures
as shall be normal and usual and as it applies to mortgage loan timeshare
receivables owed solely by it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with
any transfer of ownership of a Mortgaged Property by an Obligor to any Person,
the Master Servicer shall not agree to any change in the rate of interest borne
by, the maturity date of, the principal amount of, the timing of payments of
principal and interest in respect of, and all other material terms of, the
related Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall notify the Agent that any such
assumption or substitution agreement has been completed and if requested to do
so by the Agent, shall forward to the Agent a copy of such assumption or
substitution agreement for the Agent's review. The original of any assumption or
substitution agreement shall be added to the related Receivable File and shall,
for all purposes, be considered a part of such Receivable File to the same
extent as all other documents and instrument constituting a part thereof. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the related
Mortgage Note shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for
entering into an assumption or substitution agreement will be retained by the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Section 10.6 Realization Upon Defaulted Receivables.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of the Mortgaged Properties securing such of
the Mortgage Loan Receivables as come into and continue in default and as to
which no satisfactory
67
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 10.2. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the
Master Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem
necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage
servicing activities; provided that if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge
or reasonably believes that any Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous or
toxic waste or substances, then the Master Servicer need not acquire title to
such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding. The foregoing is
subject to the proviso that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend
its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or to restore any damaged
property unless it shall determine that such foreclosure or restoration will
increase the Liquidation Proceeds available to the Seller after reimbursement to
the Master Servicer for its Liquidation Expenses.
(b) In connection with the foreclosure or liquidation of any
Defaulted Receivable that is a Right to Use Receivable, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities.
The Master Servicer shall be required to expend its own funds in connection with
the liquidation of any Defaulted Receivable that is a Right to Use Receivable,
if it shall determine that such expenditures will increase the Liquidation
Proceeds available to the Seller after reimbursement to the Master Servicer for
its Liquidation Expenses.
(c) Liquidation Expenses incurred by the Master Servicer can
be repaid to the Master Servicer only from Liquidation Proceeds from sale or
other disposition of the related Defaulted Receivables.
Section 10.7 Payment of Fees and Expenses of Agent: No Offset. Prior to
the termination of this Agreement, the obligations of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement shall not be subject to any counterclaim or right of offset which
the Master Servicer has or may have against the Agent or any Purchaser, whether
in respect of this Agreement, any Receivable or otherwise.
Section 10.8 Servicing Fee. The Seller shall pay to the Master Servicer
out of Collected Interest a fee (the "Servicing Fee") for each day until the
first Business Day after the Commitment Termination Date on which the Aggregate
Undivided Interest shall be reduced to zero and all obligations shall have been
fully paid and performed. The accrued Servicing Fee shall be paid in arrears on
each Settlement Date and on the first Business Day after the Commitment
Termination Date on which the Aggregate Undivided Interest shall be reduced to
zero and all
68
obligations shall have been fully paid and performed. The Servicing Fee shall be
calculated for each day as an amount equal to the product of (i) 1.75%, (ii) the
outstanding Principal Balance of the Receivables comprising the Receivables Pool
as of such day and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the
denominator of which is 360. In no event shall the Agent or any Purchaser have
any obligation to pay any fee in respect of the services to be provided
hereunder.
Section 10.9 Representations and Warranties as to the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer represents and warrants to the Agent for the benefit of the
Purchasers that:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Master Servicer shall
have been duly organized and shall be validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with power and
authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties
shall be currently owned and such business is presently conducted.
(b) Due Qualification. The Master Servicer shall be duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and shall
have obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which
the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall require
such qualifications, except where the failure to so qualify or to have obtained
such licenses and approvals would not have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement
or the other Facility Documents to which it is a party.
(c) Power and Authority. The Master Servicer shall have the
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the
Agreement and each other Facility Document to which it is a party and to carry
out their respective terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and each other Facility Document to which it is a party shall have
been duly authorized by the Master Servicer by all necessary corporate action.
(d) Binding Obligations. This Agreement shall constitute a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors, rights in general and by general principles of equity.
(e) No Violation. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
69
Facility Documents to which the Master Servicer is a party and the fulfillment
of the terms of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents shall not
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Master Servicer, or conflict with or
violate any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice
or lapse of time) a default under, any material indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it shall be
bound; nor violate any law or, to the best of the Master Servicer's knowledge,
any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Master Servicer of any court or
of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer or its
properties; which breach, default, conflict or violation would have a material
adverse effect on the ability of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or the other Facility Documents to which it is a party.
Section 10.10 Existence; Status as Master Servicer; Merger.
(a) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 10.2(f), the
Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
as a corporation under the laws of the state of its organization and shall
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation,
in each case to the extent necessary to protect the validity and enforceability
of the Receivables (and, in the case of Mortgage Loan Receivables, the related
Mortgage Notes and Mortgages) and this Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not consolidate with or merge
into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its
assets as an entirety to any Person unless the Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Master Servicer has been merged or the Person
which acquires substantially all the assets of the Master Servicer as an
entirety is a corporation organized under the laws of a state in the United
States, can lawfully perform the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder
and executes and delivers to the other parties hereto an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (acting upon the direction of the
Purchasers), which contains an assumption by such successor entity of the due
and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
(c) From the date hereof until the first day following the
Commitment Termination Date on which (i) the Aggregate Undivided Interest shall
be reduced to zero and (ii) all
70
obligations shall have been fully paid and performed, the Master Servicer shall,
promptly after learning thereof, notify the Agent of (i) the details of any
action, proceeding, investigation or claim against or affecting the Master
Servicer instituted before any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or,
to its knowledge threatened to be instituted, which, if determined adversely to
the Master Servicer would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the
performance by it of its obligations under any Facility Document to which is a
part or by which it is bound.
Section 10.11 Performance of Obligations. The Master Servicer shall not
take any action or, to the extent within its control, permit any action to be
taken by others, which would excuse any Obligor from any of its covenants or
obligations under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or under any other instrument
relating thereto, or which would result in the amendment, hypothecation,
subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or
effectiveness of, any Mortgage Note or Mortgage or any such instrument, without
the written consent of the Agent, except as expressly provided herein and
therein.
Section 10.12 Liability of the Master Servicer: Indemnities. The

obligations specifically undertaken by the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
Such obligations shall include the following:
(a) The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Agent and the Purchasers from and against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's negligence, willful
misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of its obligations and duties
hereunder, reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or breach
of any provision hereof.

harmless the Agent and the Purchasers from and against all costs, expenses,

others, the Agent shall repay such amounts to the Master Servicer, with interest
to the extent collected (which interest shall not be an expense of the Agent or
any Purchaser). The indemnifications under this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the appointment of any successor Agent.

entitled to receive payments hereunder except as otherwise provided in Article

the Seller made or deemed to be made hereunder.
(b) The Agent will account to each Purchaser for its Pro Rata
Share of payments made for the ratable account of the Purchasers which are
received by the Agent from the Seller and
76
will promptly remit to the Purchasers entitled thereto all such payments. The

in a timely fashion such documentation (including, but not by way of limitation,
IRS Forms Nos. 1001, 4224 and W-8) as may be required by applicable law or
regulation or as may reasonably be requested by Agent to establish such
Purchaser's status for tax withholding purposes.
Section 12.3 Dealings with the Seller. With respect to its portion of
the Commitment and the Purchases made by it, the Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term "Purchaser" shall unless
otherwise expressly indicated include the Agent in its individual capacity. The
Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, act and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Seller and any Person which may do business with the
Seller, all as if the Agent were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to the Purchasers.
Section 12.4 Purchaser Credit Decision. Each Purchaser acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Purchaser and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and based upon such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking
77
or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Facility
Documents.
Section 12.5 Right to Rely on Payments.
(a) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by a
Purchaser by 2:00 p.m., Seattle time, on the day prior to a Purchase (other than
a Reinvestment) that such Purchaser will not make available the amount which
would constitute its Pro Rata Share of the amount to be paid in connection with
such Purchase, the Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such amount
available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Seller a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Purchaser
shall not have made such amount available to the Agent, such Purchaser and the
Seller severally agree to repay the Agent forthwith on demand such amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Agent made such
amount available to the Seller to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent,
at the Yield Rate applicable to such Purchase when first made.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by telephone and
such notice shall have been confirmed in writing by the Master Servicer by 2:00
p.m., Seattle time, on the day prior to the date any payment is due hereunder
that the Master Servicer will not make the full amount of all payments scheduled
to be made by it on such due date, the Agent may assume that the Master Servicer
has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to itself and the Purchasers their respective shares
of such amount. If the Agent makes any such amount available to any Purchaser,
but such amount was not in fact made available by the Master Servicer to the
Agent on such due date, such Purchaser shall pay to the Agent on demand the
amount previously made available to such Purchaser, together with interest on
such amount at the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the number of days from
and including the date on which such Purchaser received such amount to the date
on which such amount becomes immediately available to the Agent. A statement of
the Agent submitted to any Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under
this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
If such amount is not in fact repaid to the Agent by such Purchaser within two
Business Days after the date on which such Purchaser is informed by the Agent
that such amount was not made available to the Agent by the Purchaser then the
Agent shall be entitled to recover on demand an amount calculated in the manner
specified in the second preceding sentence of this clause (b) after substituting
the term "Reference Rate" for the term "Federal Funds Rate."
Section 12.6 Limitations on Liability; Indemnification.
78
(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent
and the Purchasers shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to any
Assigned Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the
obligations of the Seller owing to any Obligor under the Receivables or in
respect thereof.
(b) The Purchasers agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent
not reimbursed by the Seller) ratably according to their respective Pro Rata
Shares from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, Taxes (in the case of Taxes in
respect of earnings or gains from the investment of funds held in the Collection
Account), expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility
Document, except any such as result from the Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser agrees to reimburse
the Agent promptly on demand in proportion to its Pro Rata Share for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the Agent
in connection with the administration or enforcement of or the preservation of
any rights under this Agreement or any other Facility Document (to the extent
that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Seller). The foregoing
indemnities shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.7 Successor Agent. So long as the Agent is not concurrently
a Purchaser, the Agent may give written notice of resignation at any time to the
Purchasers and the Seller which resignation shall not be effective until at
least 30 days thereafter, and the Agent may be removed at any time with cause by
the Required Purchasers (such Required Purchasers to be determined, solely for
purposes of this Section, by excluding the Purchasers' Investment relating
solely to Seafirst, so that the Required Purchaser's aggregate Purchasers'
Investment of 66% will be based on the initial acquisition by the Purchasers
excluding, however, the acquisition by Seafirst as Purchaser, and as such amount
may be reduced from time to time by Collections received and distributed
pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.7.). Upon any such notice of resignation or
removal, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring
Agent by the Required Purchasers, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the
Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank organized under the
laws of the United States or of any state thereof, or any affiliate of
79
such bank, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent,
such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
The retiring Agent, however, would not be released from any liabilities
resulting from such retiring Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Until the acceptance by such a successor Agent, the retiring Agent shall
continue as "Agent" hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Agent shall become effective, the provisions of this Article shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was Agent under this Agreement.
Section 12.8 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which it is a
party by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled
to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Agent shall not be held liable to any Purchaser for the negligence or misconduct
of any agent or attorney-in-fact that the Agent selects with reasonable care.
Section 12.9 Merger of Agent. Any Person into which the Agent may be
merged or converted or which it may be consolidated with or any Person resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any
Person to which the Agent may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its
agency relationships shall be the successor to the Agent without the execution
or filing of any paper or further act, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
Section 13.1 Generally. Each Purchaser may assign, or sell
participations in, its share of the Aggregate Net Investment and in the
Commitment to one or more Persons in accordance with this Article. Unless the
Agent (acting upon the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall otherwise
consent in writing, the Seller may not assign or delegate any of its rights or
duties hereunder and any such assignment or delegation purported to be made
shall be void and of no effect.
Section 13.2 Assignments. Any Purchaser, with the prior written consent
(which prior consent from the Seller and Master Servicer shall not be required
if a Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing or if the
assignment is to an
80
affiliate of the Purchaser) of the Seller, the Agent and the Master Servicer
(which consents will not be unreasonably withheld), may at any time assign and
delegate to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each,
an "Assignee Purchaser"), all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the
Aggregate Net Investment and its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment (which
assignment and delegation shall be a constant, and not a varying, percentage of
all the assigning Purchasers, share of the Aggregate Net Investment and its
share of the Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the portion of the
Commitment assigned to any Assignee Purchaser shall not be less than $1,000,000
unless such assignment covers all of the assigning Purchasers' interests and
obligations under all Facility Documents and (ii) any Assignee Purchaser must
purchase interests in the assigning Purchasers' share of the Aggregate Net
Investment and of the Commitment and other obligations in equal proportions.
The Seller, the Master Servicer and the Agent shall be entitled to
continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Purchaser in connection
with the interests and obligations so assigned and delegated to an Assignee
Purchaser until:
(i) the Agent and Seller shall have approved the
proposed assignment;
(ii) written notice of such assignment and delegation,
together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with
respect to such Assignee Purchaser, shall have been given to the Seller, the
Master Servicer and the Agent by such Purchaser and such Assignee Purchaser;
(iii) such Assignee Purchaser shall have executed and delivered to
the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Agent an agreement pursuant to which
such Assignee Purchaser shall be bound to the terms of this Agreement and the
other Facility Documents in form and substance acceptable to the Agent; and
(iv) the processing fees described below shall have
been paid.
From and after the date that all of the foregoing conditions shall have
been fully satisfied, (A) the Assignee Purchaser shall be deemed automatically
to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Purchaser in
connection with such assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a
Purchaser hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and (B) the assigning
Purchaser, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Facility
Documents have been assigned and delegated by
81
it, shall be released from its obligations which are not then due and payable
under the Facility Documents.
The assigning Purchaser must pay an administrative processing fee
(which fee shall not be reimbursable by the Seller) to the Agent in an amount of
$1,000. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this
Section shall be null and void.
In connection with each assignment and delegation effected in
accordance with this Section, each of the parties hereto agrees, promptly upon
the Agent's request, to execute and deliver all financing statements and
continuation statements that the Agent deems necessary or appropriate in
connection with such assignment and delegation.
Section 13.3 Participations. Any Purchaser may at any time sell to one
or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each, a "Participant")
undivided interests in its rights in respect of any Purchases, its portion of
the Commitment or other interests or obligations of such Purchaser hereunder;
provided, however, that no such participation shall relieve such Purchaser from
its portion of the Commitment or its other obligations under the Facility
Documents and the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchasers,
rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Facility
Documents. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for
purposes of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.3, 14.1, 15.8 and 15.9 shall be considered a
Purchaser; provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to payment
of any amount under such Sections that would not have been payable to the
selling Purchaser had no participation occurred.
ARTICLE 14
SELLER INDEMNITIES
Section 14.1 Indemnities by the Seller. The Seller hereby agrees to
indemnify each of the Agent, the Purchasers, their respective successors,
permitted transferees and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders,
controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each, an
"Indemnified Party"), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages,
losses, claims (whether on account of settlements or otherwise), liabilities and
related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys, fees and
disbursements (collectively, the "Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or
incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of any Facility Document
or the transactions contemplated thereby or the use of proceeds therefrom,
including, without limitation, in respect of the
82
ownership of an Undivided Interest or in respect of any Receivable or any
Receivable Document, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent
resulting from (a) nonpayment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with
respect to a Receivable unless such nonpayment results from a dispute, claim,
offset or defense described in Section 14.1(vi) or the noncompliance with
applicable laws, rules or regulations described in Section 14.1(iii), (b)
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (c)
disputes between assigning Purchasers and Assignee Purchasers, or disputes
between selling Purchasers and Participants, if such disputes relate solely to
the conduct of such Persons and not to the failure of the Seller or the Master
Servicer to perform any Facility Document. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating
to or resulting from:
(i) the transfer by the Seller of any interest in any
Receivable other than an Undivided Interest;
(ii) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Seller under or in connection with any Facility Document, any report or
settlement statement or any other information or report delivered by the Seller
or the Servicer pursuant thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when
made or deemed made;
(iii) the failure by the Seller to comply with any applicable law,
rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or the related Receivable
Documents, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or the related Receivable
Documents with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;
(iv) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the
Purchasers' ownership interests in the Undivided Interests, free and clear of
any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances on the Mortgaged Properties and any
Lien arising solely as a result of an act of the Purchasers or the Agent,
whether existing at the time of the Purchase of such Undivided Interest or at
any time thereafter);
(v) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC or other
applicable laws with respect to any Receivable, all or any part of the Assigned
Collateral whether at the time of any Purchase or at any subsequent time;
(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than
discharge in bankruptcy) of the obligor to the payment of any Receivable
(including, without limitation, a defense based on the related Receivable or
Receivable Documents not being the legal,
83
valid and binding obligations of such obligor enforceable against it in
accordance with its respective terms), or any other claim resulting from the
sale of the services or goods related to such Receivable or the furnishing or
failure to furnish such services or goods;
(vii) any failure of the Seller, as the Servicer or
otherwise, to perform its duties or obligations in accordance
with the provisions of Article 10; and
(viii) any Tax, all interest and penalties thereon or with respect
thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason
of the purchase or ownership of any Undivided Interest, or other interest in the
Assigned Collateral or Facility Documents other than Taxes upon or measured by
net income, gross receipts or profits of the Indemnified Party; indemnification
in respect of any such amounts shall be in an amount necessary to make the
Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the
Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any
refund of any Tax previously indemnified hereunder, including the effect of such
tax or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income, gross receipts or
profits which is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.
The indemnities provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 15.1 Repurchases for Administrative Convenience. If on any
Settlement Date, the Aggregate Net Investment is less than or equal to lot of
the maximum Aggregate Net Investment on any date prior to such Settlement Date,
the Seller shall be entitled to repurchase all (but not less than all) of the
Undivided Interests from the Purchasers on such Settlement Date. To effect such
repurchase, the Seller shall give the Agent at least three Business Days, prior
written notice thereof and on the Settlement Date shall tender payment of the
repurchase price calculated as hereinafter provided. The Seller shall pay such
repurchase price in cash to the Agent (for the benefit of the Agent and the
Purchasers) in an amount equal to the sum of (i) unpaid Earned Yield on the
Aggregate Net Investment accrued to and including the date of repurchase, (ii)
the Aggregate Net Investment, (iii) accrued but unpaid Commitment Fees, (iv) all
other Obligations that are then due and payable, including, without limitation,
any Obligations which may arise under
84
Section 3.6 as a result of such repurchase and (v) the amount of the Servicing
Fee accrued to and including the date of repurchase (which amount shall be paid
to the Master Servicer). Upon receipt of such funds, the Purchasers shall be
obligated to reconvey their Undivided Interests and all Assigned Collateral to
the Seller pursuant to an assignment in form reasonably acceptable to the
Seller, the Agent and the Purchasers, but without representation or warranty
except for a several representation and warranty from each Purchaser that the
Undivided Interests and all Assigned Collateral assigned are free and clear of
Liens created by or arising under such Purchaser.
Section 15.2 Substitution of Receivables. On any Settlement Date
occurring on or before the Commitment Termination Date, the Seller may remove
any Receivable that is either a Defaulted Receivable or is otherwise no longer
an Eligible Receivable; provided, however, that simultaneously with such
removal, Seller shall substitute a new Receivable which can be either a Right to
Use Receivable or a Mortgage Loan Receivable which is an Eligible Receivable as
of the time of substitution and which has an Outstanding Principal Balance equal
to or greater than the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Receivable being
removed from the Receivables Pool. After the Commitment Termination Date,
provided that no Notice Date has occurred, on any Settlement Date the Seller may
remove any Receivable which is a Defaulted Receivable or which is no longer an
Eligible Receivable from the Receivables Pool; provided, however, that
simultaneously with such removal, the Seller shall substitute a new Receivable
which is an Eligible Receivable as of the time of substitution, which has a
final maturity date not later than the final maturity date of the Receivable
being removed from the Receivables Pool and which has an outstanding Principal
Balance equal to or greater than the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Receivable being removed from the Receivables Pool. Any new Receivables being
substituted for Receivables being removed from the Receivables Pool shall be
separately identified on the related Settlement Statement.
Section 15.3 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure by the Agent or
any Purchaser to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or
remedy under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
remedy under this Agreement or any other Facility Document preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
The exercise of any right, power or remedy shall in no event constitute a cure
or waiver of any Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event under this
Agreement nor prejudice the right of the Agent or any Purchaser in the exercise
of any right hereunder or under any other Facility Document. The rights and
remedies provided herein and
85
therein are cumulative and not exclusive of any right of remedy
provided by law.
Section 15.4 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Facility
Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of Washington except to the extent that the perfection (and
the effect of perfection or nonperfection) of the interests of the Purchasers in
all or any part of the Assigned Collateral is governed by the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the State of Washington.
Section 15.5 Notices. All demands, notices and communications under
this Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified
mail, return receipt requested, or sent by air courier or by telephonic
facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt

by the mailing of copies of such process to the Seller at its address provided
in Section 15.5; (e) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; and (f) in the case
of the Seller, agrees not to institute any legal action or proceeding against
the Agent or the Purchasers or the directors, officers, employees, agents or
property of any thereof, arising out of or relating to any Facility Document, in
any court other than (i) any Washington state or United States federal court
sitting in Seattle, Washington or (ii) in the case of an action against a
particular Purchaser, any court sitting at the location of the Purchasers,
principal place of business. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of
the Agent or any Purchaser to serve legal process in any other manner permitted
by law or to bring any action or proceeding against the Seller or its property
in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
87
Section 15.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto waives any right
to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to enforce or defend any rights

is legally possible to do so, to use its best efforts to keep in confidence the

Receivables at a price equal to the aggregate amount of the Purchasers'
Investment relating to such Receivables, plus the unpaid Earned Yield accrued
thereon to
88
the date of Resale. In connection with such resales of Receivables, the Agent is
authorized to disclaim expressly all present and after-acquired rights of the
Agent and Purchasers in and to the resold Receivables. The Agent may enter into
such agreements as it deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate such resales
of Receivables and related disclaimers of interest. The Agent shall promptly
distribute to the Purchasers their Pro Rata Shares of all proceeds of resales of
Receivables and if the distribution occurs before the Commitment Termination
Date, the Commitment Amount shall increase by so much of the distribution as is
