The Seller is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the preamble.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of each of the Facility Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and under each other Facility Document to which it is a party, has been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action, does not contravene (i) the Seller’s charter or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller, (iii) any contractual restriction contained in any material indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, bond, note, or other material agreement or instrument binding on the Seller or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting the Seller or its properties (except where such contravention would not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Seller or its properties), and does not result in (except as provided in the Facility Documents) or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties; and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law. Each of the Facility Documents to which the Seller is a party have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Seller. To the extent that this representation is being made with respect to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, it is made subject to the assumption that none of the assets being used to purchase the Loans and Transferred Assets constitute assets of any Benefit Plan or Plan with respect to which the Seller is a party in interest or disqualified person.

(vi) Governmental Regulations. The Seller is not (A) an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (B) a “public utility company” or a “holding company,” a “subsidiary company” or an “affiliate” of any public utility company within the meaning of Section 2(a)(5), 2(a)(7), 2(a)(8) or 2(a)(ii) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

(xii) Environmental Compliance. Each Timeshare Property Regime related to a Loan is now, and at all times during the Seller’s ownership thereof (or the ownership of any Affiliate thereof other than the Company and the Issuer), has been free of contamination from any substance, material or waste identified as toxic or hazardous according to any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or order governing, imposing standards of conduct with respect to, or regulating in any way the discharge, generation, removal, transportation, storage or handling of toxic or hazardous substances, materials or waste or air or water pollution (hereinafter referred to as “Environmental Laws”), including without limitation any PCB, radioactive substance, methane, asbestos, volatile hydrocarbons, petroleum products or wastes, industrial solvents or any other material or substance that now or hereafter may cause or constitute a health, safety or other environmental hazard to any person or property (any such substance together with any substance, material or waste identified as toxic or hazardous under any Environmental Law now in effect or hereinafter enacted shall be referred to herein as “Contaminants”), but excluding from the foregoing any levels of Contaminants at or below which such Environmental Laws do not apply (“De Minimus Levels”). Neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Company and the Issuer) has caused or suffered to occur any discharge, spill, uncontrolled loss or seepage of any petroleum or chemical product or any Contaminant (except for De Minimus Levels thereof) onto any property comprising or adjoining any Timeshare Property Regime, and neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Company and the Issuer) nor any Obligor or occupant of all or part of any Timeshare Property Regime is now or has been involved in operations at the related Timeshare Property Regime that could lead to liability for the Seller, the Company, any Affiliate of the Seller or any other owner of such Timeshare Property Regime or the imposition of a Lien on such Timeshare Property Regime under any Environmental Law.

None of the matters set forth in Schedule 3 will have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company or its assignees or the interests of the Company or its assignees in the Loans.

There is no condition presently existing, and to the best knowledge of the Seller no event has occurred or failed to occur with respect to any Resort, relating to any Contaminants or compliance with any Environmental Laws that would reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect with respect to such Resort, including in connection with the present use of such Resort.

All Loans and related Transferred Assets are purchased without recourse to the Seller except as described in this Agreement

 

23


and any PA Supplement. Such Purchase by the Company under this Agreement and under any PA Supplement constitutes a valid and true sale and transfer for consideration (and not merely the grant of a security interest to secure a loan), enforceable against creditors of the Seller, and no Loan or other related Transferred Assets that are the subject of such Purchase will constitute property of the Seller after such Purchase.

(ii) Marking Records. On or before each Closing Date or Addition Date, as applicable, the Seller shall have caused the portions of its computer files relating to the Loans sold on such date to the Company to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that each such Loan has been conveyed on such date to the Company.

(d) Survival of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, shall survive the transfer and conveyance of the Loans with respect to any Series by the Seller to the Company under this Agreement and any PA Supplement, the conveyance of the Loans by the Company to the Initial Issuer or to an Additional Issuer pursuant to the Pool Purchase Agreement and any Term Purchase Agreement and the Grant of the Collateral by the Initial Issuer or any Additional Issuer to the Collateral Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the respective Issuers, the Trustees, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and their respective designees, successors and assigns.

The agreements in this Section 6(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any PA Supplement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder, under any PA Supplement and under the Loans.

Each such audit shall be at the sole expense of the Seller.

Take such action with respect to each Loan as is necessary to ensure that the Company maintains a first priority ownership interest in such Loan and the other related Transferred Assets, in each case free and clear of any Liens arising through or under the Seller and, in the case of any Timeshare Properties, other than any Permitted Encumbrance thereon, and respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Loan sold by it hereunder by stating that, from and after the Initial Closing Date or related Addition Date, as applicable, it is no longer the owner of such Loan and that ownership of such Loan has been transferred to the Company.

(viii) Instruments. Not remove any portion of the Loans or related Transferred Assets with respect to any Series that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument,

 

26


certificate or other writing from the jurisdiction in which it was held under the related Custodial Agreement unless the Company shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company shall continue to have a first-priority perfected ownership or security interest with respect to such property after giving effect to such action or actions.

(ix) No Release. Not take any action, and use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from such Person’s covenants or obligations under any document, instrument or agreement relating to the Loans or the other Transferred Assets, or result in the hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such document, instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any PA Supplement or such other instrument or document.

(x) Insurance and Condemnation.

(A) The Seller shall do or cause to be done all things that it may accomplish with a reasonable amount of cost or effort to cause each of the POAs for each Resort, in each case (1) to maintain one or more policies of “all-risk” property and general liability insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers providing coverage in scope and amount that (x) satisfy the requirements of the declarations (or any similar charter document) governing the POA for the maintenance of such insurance policies and (y) are at least consistent with the scope and amount of such insurance coverage obtained by prudent POAs and/or management of other similar developments in the same jurisdiction and (2) to the extent the Seller is the property manager of the Resort and possesses the right to direct the application of insurance proceeds, to use its best efforts to apply the proceeds of any such insurance policies in the manner specified in the related declarations (or any similar charter document) governing the POA and/or any similar charter documents of such POA (which exercise of best efforts shall include voting as a member of the POA or as a proxy or attorney-in-fact for a member). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the ultimate discretion and control relating to the maintenance of any such insurance policies is vested in the POA in accordance with the respective declaration (or any similar charter document) relating to each Timeshare Property Regime.

(B) The Seller shall remit to the Collection Account the portion of any proceeds received pursuant to a condemnation of property in any Resort relating to any Timeshare Property to the extent the Obligors are required to make such remittance under the terms of one or more Loans that have been sold to the Company hereunder and under the related PA Supplement.

(xi) Separate Identity. Take such action as is necessary to ensure compliance with Section 6(a)(xvi), including taking all actions necessary on its part to be taken in order to ensure that the facts and assumptions relating to the Company set forth in the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP relating to substantive consolidation matters with respect to the Seller and the Company are true and correct.

(xiii) Taxes. File or cause to be filed, and cause each of its Affiliates with whom it shares consolidated tax liability to file, all federal, state and local tax returns that are required to be filed by it, except where the failure to file such returns could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Purchaser or the Seller, or otherwise be reasonably expected to expose the Purchaser or the Seller to material liability. The Seller will pay or cause to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, other than any taxes or assessments the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Seller or the applicable Affiliate has set aside adequate reserves on its books in accordance with GAAP, and which proceedings could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Purchaser or the Seller or otherwise be reasonably expected to expose the Purchaser or the Seller to material liability.

(xiv) Facility Documents. Comply in all material respects with the terms of, and employ the procedures outlined under, this Agreement, any PA Supplement and all other Facility Documents to which it is a party, and take all such action as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Company to maintain this Agreement, any PA Supplement and all such other Facility Documents in full force and effect.

(xv) Loan Schedule. With respect to any Series, promptly amend the applicable Loan Schedule to reflect terms or discrepancies that become known after each Closing Date or any Addition Date, and promptly notify the Company, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of any such amendments.

(xvi) Segregation of Collections. Prevent, to the extent within its control, the deposit into the Collection Account or any Reserve Account of any funds other than Collections in respect of the Loans with respect to any Series, and to the extent that, to its knowledge, any such funds are nevertheless deposited into the Collection Account or any Reserve Account, promptly identify any such funds to the Master Servicer for segregation and remittance to the owner thereof.

(xvii) Management of Resorts. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees (to the extent that the Seller is responsible for maintaining or managing such Resort) to do or cause to be done all things that it may accomplish with a reasonable amount of cost or effort in order to maintain such Resort (including without limitation all grounds, waters and improvements thereon and all other facilities related thereto) in at least as good condition, repair and working order as would be customary for prudent managers of similar timeshare properties.

SCHEDULE 5

Litigation

In September 2002, the Office of the California Attorney General and the San Mateo County District Attorney’s office began an investigation of certain Trendwest sales, telemarketing and collection practices. The matter was resolved in October 2003, with Trendwest signing a stipulated judgment enjoining Trendwest from certain business practices, requiring Trendwest to offer restitution to certain consumers, and obligating Trendwest to pay costs and fines.

In October 2003, as a result of an investigation by the California Department of Real Estate (“DRE”), Trendwest entered into an agreement with the DRE whereby Trendwest deposited $1.8 million into an escrow account to be paid to WorldMark in the event the DRE determines, following an audit, that Trendwest owes money to WorldMark as a result of certain Trendwest sales and marketing programs. Trendwest responded to the DRE’s audit request. In January 2006, DRE informed Trendwest that, although the DRE was not closing the audit, it could not find that Trendwest owed any monies to WorldMark and released the $1.8 million to Trendwest.
