Article VII.
SERVICING OF PLEDGED LOANS
aw.Responsibility for Loan Administration
. The Servicer shall manage, administer, service and make collections on the Pledged Loans on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and Issuer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to all other provisions hereof, the Trustee and the Issuer grant to the Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute and the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to so execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Pledged Loans, any related Mortgages and the related Timeshare Properties, but only to the extent deemed necessary by the Servicer.
The Trustee, the Issuer and the Collateral Agent, at the request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any documents in its possession reasonably requested or take any action reasonably requested, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder (subject, in the case of requests for documents contained in any Loan Files, to the requirements of Section 6.1(l)(ii)).
Wyndham Consumer Finance, Inc. is hereby appointed as the Servicer until such time as any Service Transfer shall be effected under Article XII.
ax.Standard of Care
. In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the Pledged Loans pursuant to this Indenture, the Servicer will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with Customary Practices and the Credit Standards and Collection Policies.
ay.Records
. The Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account, computer data files and other records as will enable the Trustee to determine the status of each Pledged Loan and will enable such Loan to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Indenture by a Successor Servicer following a Service Transfer.
az.Series 2008-A Loan Schedule
. The Servicer shall at all times maintain the Series 2008-A Loan Schedule and electronically provide to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian a current,
84


complete copy of the Series 2008-A Loan Schedule. The Series 2008-A Loan Schedule may be in one or multiple documents including an original listing and monthly amendments listing changes.
ba.Enforcement
.
(137)The Servicer will, consistent with Section 7.2, act with respect to the Pledged Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of Collections in respect of such Pledged Loans (including, to the extent necessary, instituting foreclosure proceedings against the Timeshare Property, if any, underlying a Pledged Loan or disposing of the underlying Timeshare Property, if any).
(138)The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Pledged Loans, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Issuer. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Pledged Loan, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Pledged Loan to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Pledged Loan on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Pledged Loan, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall, at the Servicer’s expense, take such steps as the Servicer and the Trustee may mutually agree are necessary (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) to enforce the Pledged Loan, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer. The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred thereby.
(139)The Servicer, upon notice to the Trustee, may grant to the Obligor on any Pledged Loan any rebate, refund or adjustment out of the appropriate Collection Account that the Servicer in good faith believes is required as a matter of law; provided that, on any Business Day on which such rebate, refund or adjustment is to be paid hereunder, such rebate, refund or adjustment shall only be paid to the extent of funds otherwise available for distribution from the Collection Account.
(140)The Servicer will not extend, amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms of any Pledged Loan or permit the rescission or cancellation of any Pledged Loan, whether for any reason relating to a negative change in the related Obligor’s creditworthiness or inability to make any payment under the Pledged Loan or otherwise other than in accordance with Customary Practices.
(141)The Servicer shall have the discretion to sell the collateral which secures any Defaulted Loans free and clear of the Lien of this Indenture, in exchange for cash, in accordance with Customary Practices and Credit Standards and Collection Policies. All proceeds of any such sale of such collateral shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account.
85


(142)The Servicer shall not sell any Defaulted Loan or any collateral securing a Defaulted Loan to any Seller or Originator except for an amount at least equal to the fair market value thereof.
(143)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Servicer shall have no obligation to, and shall not, foreclose on the collateral securing any Pledged Loan unless the proceeds from such foreclosure will be sufficient to cover the expenses of such foreclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, proceeds from the foreclosure by the Servicer on the collateral securing any Pledged Loans shall first be applied by the Servicer to reimburse itself for the expenses of such foreclosure, and any remaining proceeds shall be deposited into the Collection Account.
bb.Trustee and Collateral Agent to Cooperate

(146)make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and to seek any consents or authorizations from the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities authority on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or state securities or reporting requirements laws.
Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee agrees that, it shall promptly follow the instructions of the Servicer duly given to withdraw funds from the Accounts in accordance with the terms hereof.
bd.Servicing Compensation
. As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Monthly Servicer Fee which shall be calculated under this Indenture and be paid to the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

The execution and delivery by the Servicer of each of the Facility Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and the performance by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated by such agreements and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Servicer, will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to the Servicer or its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any material indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other material instrument, to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, except where such conflict, violation, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, or in any agreement relating to such delegations, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders for the servicing and administration of the Pledged Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Pledged Loans.
(b) In addition, the Servicer may service the Pledged Loans or certain portions of the Pledged Loans by retaining the services of a subservicer or subservicers and by entering into subservicing agreements with such subservicers provided, that any such subservicing agreement is not inconsistent with this Indenture.

As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer shall monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each subservicer retained by it.

For the purpose of Section 7.5(f), no Defaulted Loan or Collateral related thereto shall be sold to any Seller or Originator unless the cash proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the fair market value of such Pledged Loan. For this purpose, “fair market value” shall mean initially, an amount equal to 25% of the original sale price of the related Timeshare Property and, in the event either the Issuer or the applicable Seller or Originator shall determine that such percentage is not reflective of the fair market value of the Pledged Loan or Collateral related thereto, the Issuer and the applicable Seller or Originator shall determine the fair market value of such Pledged Loan or Collateral related thereto, as a percentage of the original sale price of the related Timeshare Property. Prior to any such determination of a revised fair market value, written notice of such determination including, in reasonable detail, the calculation thereof, shall
93


be given by the Servicer to each Funding Agent and each Non-Conduit Committed Purchaser. Any such determination shall be based on the historical inventory cost of the applicable Seller or Originator consistent with the cost of goods sold.
