(iii) If a Designated Delay Funding Lender timely delivers a Funding Delay Notice with respect to a Delayed Funding Amount, the Committed Lender shall not be required to fund, on the Original Borrowing Date therefor, such Delayed Funding Amount, but shall be required to advance to the Borrower the Delayed Funding Amount on or before the Delayed Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.02(e)(iv). Such Designated Delay Funding Lender shall provide the Borrower with at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of the Business Day on which it will fund such Delayed Funding Amount. The Borrower may (x) cancel and rescind the Borrowing Request in its entirety upon delivery of such Funding Delay Notice by delivering notice thereof to the Administrative Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Original Borrowing Date or (y) reduce the amount of additional Loans and/or additional Timeshare Loans to be added to the Borrowing Base on the Original Borrowing Date by delivering to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Original Borrowing Date an updated Borrowing Request, and the actual funding of the Non-Delayed Funding Amount shall take place on the Business Day following the delivery of such updated Borrowing Request.

If the Borrower is required to add additional Timeshare Loans to the Borrowing Base on the related Delayed Funding Date in order to satisfy such conditions, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Borrowing Request at least one Business Day prior to such Delayed Funding Date. A Designated Delay Funding Lender (or the Conduit Lender in its Lender Group) funding a Delayed Funding Amount on a Delayed Funding Date shall remit such Delayed Funding Amount to the account of its Managing Agent specified therefor to such Lender by 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) by wire transfer of same day funds.

(b) Increases to the Facility Limit. The Borrower may, from time to time upon at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days agreed to by the Managing Agents) prior written notice request an increase to the Facility Limit. Each such notice shall specify (i) the proposed date such increase shall become effective and (ii) the proposed amount of such increase (which amount shall be at least $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Agents. Such increase to the Facility Limit shall become effective, if, and only if, (x) the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agent (on behalf of the Committed Lenders in the related Lender Group) of each Lender Group whose Lender Group Limit is being increased has approved such increase, by delivering a written confirmation of such approval to the Administrative Agents, the Managing Agents and the Borrower (with a copy to the Paying Agent) or (y) to the extent that the Committed Lenders in one or more Lender Groups have, in their sole discretion, agreed to increase the Facility Limit in an amount which is less than the Borrower’s requested increase to the Facility Limit, the Borrower shall reduce its requested increase to the Facility Limit to an amount equal to such lower amount.

If applicable, each Managing Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, two (2) Business Days prior to each Determination Date an invoice, setting forth (i) an estimate of the Interest payable to the related Conduit Lenders based on the CP Rate for each day during the Interest Period to which such Determination Date relates and (ii) the amount of any variation between Interest payable to such Conduit Lenders for the preceding Interest Period based on such notices and estimates and accrued but unpaid Interest payable to such Conduit Lenders for such Interest Period based on its final determination of the CP Rate for each day during such Interest Period. The amount of any shortfall in Interest based on such variation shall be included in the portion of the Interest payable to such Conduit Lenders on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and the amount of any overpayment of interest to such Conduit Lenders based on such variation shall be credited against the portion of the Interest otherwise payable to such Conduit Lenders on the next succeeding Distribution Date.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to each Managing Agent the Unused Fee in the amounts set forth in the Fee Letter on the dates set forth therein.

(c) All payments of Interest for each Interest Period shall be made out of Available Collections in accordance with Section 2.06(b).

SECTION 2.05. Principal Payments - Generally.     (a) The Aggregate Loan Principal Balance shall be payable in installments equal to the Monthly Principal Payment Amount on each Distribution Date, to the extent of available funds therefor, in accordance with Section 2.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, at its option, prepay on any Business Day all or any portion of any Loan upon prior revocable written notice delivered to each Managing Agent (with a copy to the Paying Agent) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such payment. Each such notice shall be in the form attached as Exhibit H and shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the prepayment to be made on the Loans and (ii) the Business Day on which the Borrower will make such prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be made ratably among the Lenders based on the aggregate Principal Amount of the Loans held by each. Each such prepayment of the Loans to the Lenders in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group must be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid, all Liquidation Fees with respect to such prepayment and all Hedge Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable by the Borrower under or with respect to any Hedging Agreement arising from any related release of Pledged Timeshare Loans pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with such prepayment. Any such prepayment shall be made out of Collections by transfer by the Paying Agent of funds from the Collection Account to the Lenders at the written direction of the Borrower or out of other funds of the Borrower.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. If a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists on any Distribution Date, the Borrower shall no later than the close of business on the third Business Day following such Distribution Date, prepay the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance in part or in whole, such that after giving effect to such prepayment the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance does not exceed the Borrowing Base.

SECTION 2.06. Application of Collections.

(a) Subject to Section 2.16, funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time may be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Borrower. Each such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date and shall be held to maturity. Each investment instruction by the Borrower, which may be a standing instruction, shall designate specific types of Permitted Investments (and the terms thereof) and shall certify that such investments constitute Permitted Investments that will mature at the time specified in the preceding sentence. Absent the written instruction of the Borrower, the funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. None of the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent or Securities Intermediary shall be liable for any loss incurred in connection with an investment in the Collection Account, except for losses due to such Person’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by such Person in its commercial capacity as principal obligor (and not as Administrative Agent, Paying Agent or Securities Intermediary).

 

51


(b) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall, based solely on the information set forth in the related Monthly Report, apply all Available Funds for such Distribution Date in the following order and priority:

(i) first, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee for the immediately preceding Collection Period, together with any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement of any amounts owing under Section 2.3(c) of the Servicing Agreement and, if the Servicer is a Successor Servicer, to the extent not previously paid by the predecessor Servicer, reasonable Transition Expenses (up to a maximum of $100,000 in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement) incurred in becoming the Successor Servicer;

52


(vii) seventh, pro rata to each Lender in accordance with Section 2.06(c), the amount of any voluntary reduction of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance that the Borrower has elected to effect on such Distribution Date; and

(viii) eighth, any remaining amounts to or at the direction of the Borrower.

(c) The Paying Agent shall remit each installment of Interest, Unused Fees or principal in respect of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b) to the Lenders (or the related Managing Agent) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Lender or its related Managing Agent in writing to the Paying Agent. Each Managing Agent shall allocate all payments received by the Paying Agent under this Section 2.06(c) to the Lenders in the related Lender Group. Amounts in respect of (i) Interest and Unused Fees shall be allocated and paid to the Lenders based on the amounts accrued at their applicable rates on their respective Invested Percentages, (ii) the principal of the Loans shall be allocated and paid by the Paying Agent to the Lenders based on their respective Invested Percentages and (iii) fees, costs, expenses or indemnities shall be allocated and paid by the Paying Agent to the Lenders to whom such amounts are due and payable.

SECTION 2.07. Extension of Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower may, no more frequently than once every six months by delivering written notice to the Managing Agents (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Conduit Lenders), request the Lenders to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional number of days past the then applicable Commitment Termination Date, with such extension to become effective with respect to any Lender Group, as of the date one or more Committed Lenders having Commitments equal to 100% of such Lender Group’s Lender Group Limit shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension (the Lenders in such a Lender Group, “Extending Lenders”). Any such request shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) none of the Lenders will have any obligation to extend any Commitment and (ii) any such extension of the Commitment Termination Date will be effective only upon the written agreement of at least one Committed Lender and the Borrower. The Managing Agent for each applicable Committed Lender will respond to any such request within thirty (30) days (with a copy to the Paying Agent), provided, that any Managing Agent’s failure to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension.

SECTION 2.08. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Lenders by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such account as the Administrative Agent or the relevant Managing Agents may designate prior to such payment from time to time in writing. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Affected Party interest on any amounts not paid by the Borrower when due hereunder at 2.00% per annum above the Prime Rate from time to time in effect, payable on demand. All computations of Interest, Unused Fees and Servicing Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed; provided, that all computations of Interest calculated at the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of Interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that any payment hereunder (whether constituting a repayment of Loans or a payment of Interest or any other amount) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason, the amount of such payment shall be restored and such payment shall be considered not to have been made.

 

53


SECTION 2.09. Interest Protection.

(a) If due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of any law or regulation after the Restatement Date, or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the Restatement Date, (1) there shall be an increase in the cost (other than Taxes) to such Affected Party of funding or maintaining any Loan which accrues Interest based on Term SOFR hereunder or of extending a commitment in respect thereof, (2) such Affected Party shall be required to make a payment calculated by reference to any Loan which accrues Interest based on Term SOFR funded by it or Interest received by it or (3) any Affected Party shall be subjected to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes or Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by the related Managing Agent, pay such Managing Agent for the account of such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders), that portion of such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or required payment made or to be made, which, subject to the requirements of Section 2.09, such Managing Agent reasonably determines is attributable to funding and maintaining, or extending a commitment to fund, any Loan which accrues Interest based on Term SOFR hereunder or pursuant to any Liquidity Agreement or similar liquidity facility.

(b) Each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Restatement Date, which will entitle any Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.09(a). Each Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies and procedures. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Affected Party (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate in reasonable detail describing such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or receivable or required payment made or to be made, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Managing Agent to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Managing Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or related Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Section for any increased capital unless such Managing Agent gives notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to compensate such Lender or Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Section within 120 days after the date such Managing Agent knows an event has occurred pursuant to which such Lender or Liquidity Provider will seek such compensation.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Capital.

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by any Official Body of any law, rule or regulation (including any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with (x) any directive or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the Restatement Date or (y) the requirements of, whether such compliance is commenced prior to or after the Restatement Date, any of (a) the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, (b) Basel II or Basel III Regulations or (c) the Dodd-Frank Act, or any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the U.S. bank regulatory agencies relating to the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, Basel II, Basel III Regulations or the Dodd-Frank Act (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or assets required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party or such Affected Party reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any Lender’s agreement to make or maintain Loans hereunder and other similar agreements or facilities and such event would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the assets or capital of such Affected Party by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Party or the related Managing Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders) or the related Managing Agent for the account of such Affected Party from time to time, as specified by such Affected Party or such Managing Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party or such Managing Agent on behalf of such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the applicable Lender’s agreements hereunder.

 

54


(b) Each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Restatement Date, which will entitle any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a). Each Lender or Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender or Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender or Affected Party (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such compensation, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Managing Agent to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Managing Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group pursuant to this Section for any increased capital unless such Managing Agent gives notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to compensate such Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group pursuant to this Section within 120 days after the date such Managing Agent knows an event has occurred pursuant to which such Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group will seek such compensation.

(d) If any Lender or Affected Party has, or anticipates having, any claim for compensation under Section 2.10(a) against the Borrower, and such Affected Party or Lender believes that having the transactions contemplated by this Agreement publicly rated by a Rating Agency or qualifying under the supervisory formula approach under Basel II would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Affected Party or Lender to be material, such Affected Party or Lender shall provide a request for Required Data or a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer. Any Affected Party or Lender may also provide a request for Required Data or a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer at any other time prior to the Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower shall cooperate with such Affected Party or Lender’s efforts to obtain Required Data and/or a credit rating from the Rating Agency specified in the Rating Request at the level that reasonably reflects the economics and credit of the Loans at the time of such request, and shall provide directly or through distribution to such Affected Party or Lender any information such Rating Agency may require for purposes of providing and monitoring the credit rating. The Affected Party or Lender making the Rating Request shall bear the costs and expenses of providing the Required Data and pay the initial and any subsequent and ongoing fees payable to the Rating Agency in connection with a Rating Request pursuant to this Section 2.10(d).

SECTION 2.11. Funding Losses. In the event that any Liquidity Provider or any Lender shall incur (i) any Liquidation Fees as a result of any reduction of the Principal Amount of any Loan at any time other than in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) 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 Liquidity Provider or Lender in order to fund or maintain any Loan or interest therein) as a result of the failure of the Borrower to accept the proceeds of any Loan in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.02, then, upon demand from the related Managing Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Managing Agent for the account of such Liquidity Provider or Lender, the amount of such loss, expense or Liquidation Fees. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

 

55


SECTION 2.12. Taxes.

(a) Except to the extent required by applicable law, any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) or the Paying Agent shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes. If the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer shall be required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable) to make any deduction for Indemnified Taxes, (i) the Borrower shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Paying Agent or the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Paying Agent or the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer is required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable) to deduct any Excluded Taxes, then (A) the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (B) the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall pay the amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (C) the amounts so deducted and paid to the relevant taxing authority shall be treated under this Agreement as made to the Affected Party.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary Taxes or any other similar excise or property taxes or levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any instrument delivered hereunder, other than Connection Taxes resulting from an assignment.

(c) Each Affected Party:

(i) that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent on or before the Restatement Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement) a duly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or successor form establishing that the Affected Party is a United States person that is not subject to U.S. backup withholding Tax;

(ii) that is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof shall timely deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Affected Party’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Affected Party by the Borrower or the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Affected Party’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Affected Party which is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof shall, on or prior to the date that such Affected Party becomes a party to or obtains rights under this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent as applicable: (1) two duly completed and executed copies of the IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor form) as applicable; (2) in the case of an Affected Party claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, two duly completed and executed copies of Form W-8BEN along with a certificate to the effect that such Affected Party is (i) not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (iii) not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (iv) not conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected; (3) in the case of an Affected Party that is not a beneficial owner of payments made under any Facility Document, two duly completed and executed copies of the IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and the relevant forms prescribed in this clause (ii) on behalf of each beneficial owner, provided, however, that if the Affected Party is a partnership and one or more partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Affected Party may provide the certificate described in (2) above; and (4) to the extent it may lawfully do so, such other forms or certificates as may be required under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete), in order to permit the Borrower and the Paying Agent to make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Affected Party hereunder and under the other Facility Documents without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or to determine the correct amount of Tax to deduct and withhold from payments to the Affected Party. Each such Affected Party, to the extent it may lawfully do so, shall submit to the Borrower and the Paying Agent (with copies to the Administrative Agent) two updated, completed, and duly executed versions of: (x) all forms referred to in the previous sentence upon the expiration of, or the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Paying Agent or the substitution of such form; and (y) such extensions or renewals thereof as required by applicable law or as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent; and

 

56


(iii) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Affected Party under this Agreement and the Loans are exempt from any United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (y) to allow the Borrower and the Paying Agent to determine the amount to deduct or withhold under FATCA from a payment hereunder, and further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, any successor or additional form required by the IRS or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(d) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the benefit of any Affected Party pursuant to this Section as a result of a change of law or treaty occurring after such Affected Party first became a party to this Agreement, such Affected Party will use reasonable efforts, at the Borrower’s request, to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the sole judgment of such Affected Party, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Affected Person due to a failure on the part of the Affected Person (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Affected Person failed to notify the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Affected Person shall indemnify and hold the Paying Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Paying Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer under this Section 2.12, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). The obligation of the Affected Persons under this subsection shall survive the payment of all obligations under this Agreement.

(f) If any Affected Party reasonably determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or the Servicer or with respect to which the Borrower or the Servicer has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12 it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such a refund).

(g) The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

SECTION 2.13. Security Interest.

(a) As security for the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Borrower to be performed under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, including the payment when due of all Borrower Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(i) the Pledged Timeshare Loans, together with all Collections and all monies due (including any payments made under any guarantee or similar credit enhancement with respect to any such Timeshare Loans) to become due or received by any Person in payment of any of the Pledged Timeshare Loans after the respective Cutoff Dates for the Pledged Timeshare Loans;

(ii) the Related Security with respect to the Pledged Timeshare Loans;

(iii) the Account Collateral;

(iv) all Hedge Collateral;

(v) the HGV Borrower Purchase Agreement and all remedies thereunder, the Sale and Contribution Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Custody Agreement and any other Facility Document to which the Borrower is a party and all remedies thereunder and the assignment to the Administrative Agent of all UCC financing statements filed by the Borrower against Seller under or in connection with the Sale and Contribution Agreement;

(vi) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion thereof, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of the foregoing;

(vii) all accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, investment property, documents, chattel paper, goods, moneys, letters of credit, letter of credit rights, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts and all other property and interests in property of the Borrower, whether tangible or intangible; and

(viii) all income and proceeds of the foregoing, other than proceeds of a Timeshare Loan that has been foreclosed upon and remarketed and for which the applicable Timeshare Interest relates to the Barbados Resort.

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements, and continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Section 2.13. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to the Pledged Timeshare Loans and the other Collateral without the signature of the Borrower.

(iii) On the related Refinancing Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified that, after giving effect to the Refinancing, the related prepayment of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance pursuant to Section 2.05(b) and the release to the Borrower of the related Pledged Timeshare Loans on the related Refinancing Date:

In connection with any repurchase or substitution of Timeshare Loans by the Seller from the Borrower (a) pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement or (b) effected pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 2.14, and promptly following the Final Collection Date, the Administrative Agent agrees, at the Borrower’s expense, and without recourse, representation or warranty, and, in the case of a Refinancing, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.14, to execute, deliver, file and record any release, document or other instrument and take such action that may be necessary or that the Borrower may reasonably request, to evidence the release by the Administrative Agent of its security interest in the applicable Pledged Timeshare Loans and related Collateral.

SECTION 2.16. The Collection Account and Hedge Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Original Closing Date, the Borrower shall have established and shall thereafter maintain a segregated account in the name of the Borrower for the purpose of receiving Collections (the “Collection Account”). The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account shall be that of the Borrower and the Borrower will report for Federal, state and local income taxes, the income, if any, represented by the Collection Account.

(b) The Collection Account shall be established and at all times maintained with the Paying Agent which shall act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) hereunder (in such capacities, the “Securities Intermediary”) with respect to the Collection Account. Wells Fargo, as initial Paying Agent, hereby confirms that the account number of the Collection Account is the number identified as such on Exhibit M hereto. In the event that the Paying Agent ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days thereof, appoint a Qualified Institution to be the successor Paying Agent and establish a new Collection Account at such Qualified Institution.

(c) The Collection Account shall be a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC and shall be maintained by the Securities Intermediary as a securities intermediary in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Securities Intermediary shall treat the Administrative Agent as the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of all “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to the Collection Account;

(d) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:

(i) the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of the Collection Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;

(ii) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets (as hereinafter defined) credited to the Collection Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or indorsed in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Collection Account be registered in the name of the Borrower or any other Person, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially indorsed to the Borrower or any other Person, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or in blank;

(iii) all property transferred or delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the Collection Account;

(iv) the Collection Account is an account to which financial assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat each of the Borrower and the Servicer as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to such account;

 

60


(v) the Securities Intermediary shall promptly deliver copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Collection Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) and the Administrative Agent at the address for each set forth on Schedule III to this Agreement; and

(vi) notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, to the extent that Collection Account shall be determined to constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC, the Collection Account shall be subject to the exclusive control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Securities Intermediary will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account without further consent by the Borrower or the Servicer.

(e) The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (including any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Collection Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

(f) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.16(g) and (h), the Securities Intermediary will comply with “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) (“Entitlement Orders”) originated by the Borrower or by the Servicer. The Borrower shall not directly make any withdrawals from the Collection Account.

(g) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any Entitlement Order from the Administrative Agent (i.e., an order directing a transfer or redemption of any financial asset in the Collection Account), or any “instruction” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC), originated by the Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order or instruction without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary will comply with the following with respect to any Entitlement Order or instruction: (i) until its receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below) with respect to the financial assets in the Collection Account, any cash received into the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Borrower or by the Servicer; and (ii) from and after its receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined below), with respect to the financial assets in the Collection Account and without further consent of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person, any cash received into the Collection Account, may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(h) Upon receipt by the Securities Intermediary of a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), the Securities Intermediary will take all Entitlement Orders, instructions or other directions it receives from the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with respect to the Collection Account and the disposition of funds in the Collection Account, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person, and shall cease complying with Entitlement Orders, instructions or other directions concerning the Collection Account originated by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a written notice from the Servicer identifying amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as constituting (a) Processing Fees, non-sufficient funds fees and late fees, or (b) Miscellaneous Payments, the Administrative Agent will issue an Entitlement Order to the Securities Intermediary to release such amounts under clauses (a) and (b) to the Servicer.

 

61


(i) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Collection Account or any financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited thereto or any security entitlement with respect thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited to the Collection Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collection Account, and (ii) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to the Collection Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(j) Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the “security intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC).

(k) Whenever the Borrower initially elects to exercise the Hedge Reserve Option in accordance with Section 5.03(c), the Borrower shall cause to be established and shall cause to be maintained an account in the name of the Administrative Agent (the “Hedge Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties. The Hedge Reserve Account shall be a segregated bank account initially established with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Hedge Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Hedge Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Subject to this Section 2.16, amounts on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Borrower or by the Servicer. Funding, withdrawals and payments from the Hedge Reserve Account shall be made in the following manner:

(i) Funding. On each Determination Date or Borrowing Date occurring in a Hedging Period, if the Borrower has exercised and not revoked the Hedge Reserve Option, the Borrower shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited into the Hedge Reserve Account the amount necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account to be equal to the Hedge Reserve Account Required Balance (after giving effect to a Borrowing (if any) on such Determination Date or Borrowing Date, existing Hedging Agreements and Hedging Agreements entered into in respect of such Determination Date or Borrowing Date) and thereafter, on each Distribution Date, if the amount on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account (after giving effect to any deposit of the applicable portion of the proceeds on such Determination Date) is less than the Hedge Reserve Account Required Balance, a deposit shall be made to the Hedge Reserve Account, to the extent of Available Funds as provided in Section 2.06 hereof.

(ii) Hedging Agreement Trigger Event. If the Borrower is required to purchase Hedging Agreements in accordance with Section 5.03 at any time after the Borrower has deposited amounts in the Hedge Reserve Account, the Administrative Agent shall, as directed by the Borrower or the Servicer, to the extent of funds available in the Hedge Reserve Account, either (i) pay the applicable Hedging Agreement premium to the related Hedge Counterparty, or (ii) in the event the Borrower provides the Administrative Agent with evidence that it has already paid such premium, reimburse the Borrower. To the extent there are funds remaining in the Hedge Reserve Account following the payment of such Hedging Agreement premium, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw such funds from the Hedge Reserve Account and deposit such funds into the Collection Account as Available Funds for the immediately following Distribution Date. To the extent that the Issuer fails to purchase or cause to be purchased Hedging Agreements in the timeframe required by the Hedging Requirements, the Administrative Agent is authorized to obtain such Hedging Agreement on behalf of the Borrower and to withdraw from the Hedge Reserve Account, to the extent of funds available therein, the applicable Hedging Agreement premium and to pay such amount to the related Hedge Counterparty.

 

62


(iii) Payment in Full. To the extent that on the Distribution Date on which the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance will be reduced to zero, there are amounts on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account and shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account as Available Funds.

(iv) Amounts in Excess of Hedge Reserve Account Required Balance. If, on any Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account are greater than the Hedge Reserve Account Required Balance (after giving effect to all other distributions and disbursements on such Distribution Date), the Administrative Agent shall, based on the Monthly Report, withdraw funds in excess of the Hedge Reserve Account Required Balance from the Hedge Reserve Account and deposit such funds into the Collection Account as Available Funds on such Distribution Date for application in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof. If on any Determination Date, Borrowing Date or Distribution Date, the Borrower has revoked its election, in whole or in part, to fund the Hedge Reserve Account, provided that the Borrower has otherwise complied with the Hedging Requirements, amounts on deposit in the Hedge Reserve Account shall be deposited in the Collection Account as Available Funds.

SECTION 2.17. The Paying Agent.

(a) The Borrower hereby appoints Wells Fargo as the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable in respect of the Borrower Obligations that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be made on behalf of the Borrower by the Paying Agent. On the Final Collection Date, all funds then held by any Paying Agent other than the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall, upon demand of the Borrower, be paid to the Administrative Agent to be held and applied according to Section 2.06, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such funds.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Paying Agent the Paying Agent Fee pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii).

(c) The Paying Agent hereby agrees that subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall:

(ii) give the Administrative Agent notice of any default by the Borrower of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Borrower Obligations;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Servicer), forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent any sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent any sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Borrower Obligations if at any time it ceases to be a Qualified Institution;

 

63


(v) comply with all requirements of the Code and any applicable State law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it in respect of any Borrower Obligations of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and

(vi) provide to the Managing Agents such information as is required to be delivered under the Code or any State law applicable to the particular Paying Agent, relating to payments made by the Paying Agent under this Agreement.

(d) Each Paying Agent (other than the initial Paying Agent) shall be appointed by the Borrower with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Managing Agents. The Borrower shall not appoint any Paying Agent which is not, at the time of such appointment, a Qualified Institution.

(e) The Borrower shall indemnify the Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred, other than in connection with the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, arising out of or in connection with (i) the performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement and (ii) the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Borrower in the performance of its duties hereunder. All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.06.

(f) The Paying Agent shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Paying Agent in such capacity herein. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent and, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Paying Agent pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) The Paying Agent shall not be liable for (i) an error of judgment made in good faith by one of its officers; or (ii) any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with or believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred, by this Agreement or at the direction of a Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Paying Agent under this Agreement, in each case, unless it shall be proved that the Paying Agent shall have been grossly negligent or acted in bad faith or with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(h) The Paying Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Paying Agent receives written notice of such event from the Borrower, the Servicer, any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(i) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Collateral, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to the payment or discharge of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Pledged Timeshare Loans, (iii) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or the Borrower delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Paying Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or (iv) to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

 

64


(j) The Paying Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Paying Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

(k) The Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of a Responsible Officer, any Monthly Report, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(l) The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel, selected with due care, shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith.

(m) The Paying Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies vested in it by this Agreement (except to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and any other Facility Document to which it is a party) or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or such Managing Agent shall have offered to the Paying Agent reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

(n) The Paying Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by a Lender, a Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Paying Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Paying Agent, not reasonably assured by the Borrower, the Paying Agent may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrower or, if paid by the Paying Agent, shall be reimbursed by the Borrower to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.06.

(o) The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer, any Managing Agents, any Lender, any Hedge Counterparty or any other Person.

(p) Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Paying Agent, shall be the successor of the Paying Agent under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(q) The Paying Agent does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of the Timeshare Loans and other Collateral.

 

65


(r) If the Paying Agent shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, officer’s certificate, any Monthly Report, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Paying Agent may rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the parties to this Agreement will hold the Paying Agent harmless from any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Paying Agent because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose.

(s) The Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other person, firm or corporation, except only such notices or instructions as are herein provided for and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(t) The Paying Agent may: (i) terminate its obligations as Paying Agent under this Agreement (subject to the terms set forth herein) upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Managing Agents, such resignation shall not be effective until a successor Paying Agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Majority Managing Agents shall have accepted appointment by the Borrower as Paying Agent, pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) be removed at any time by written demand, of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Managing Agents, delivered to the Paying Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer. In the event of such termination or removal, the Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Managing Agents shall appoint a successor paying. If, however, a successor paying agent is not appointed by the Borrower within ninety (90) days after the giving of notice of resignation, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor paying agent.

(u) Any successor Paying Agent appointed pursuant hereto shall (i) execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, and to the predecessor Paying Agent an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Paying Agent shall become effective and such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor as Paying Agent under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. The predecessor Paying Agent shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Paying Agent all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Borrower and the predecessor Paying Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Paying Agent all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

(v) In the event the Paying Agent’s appointment hereunder is terminated without cause, the Borrower shall reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Paying Agent incurred in transferring any funds in its possession to the successor Paying Agent.

 

66


(w) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Paying Agent shall not be required to act as a “commodity pool operator” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended) or be required to undertake regulatory filings related to this Agreement or any Facility Document in connection therewith.

SECTION 2.18. Defaulting Committed Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Committed Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Committed Lender is a Defaulting Committed Lender:

(a) Unused Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Committed Lender pursuant to Section 2.04;

(b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.03 hereof, the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Committed Lender may be reduced to zero without any contemporaneous ratable reduction of the Commitments of the other Committed Lenders;

(c) neither the Commitment nor the Loans of such Defaulting Committed Lender shall be included in determining whether all Lenders, a majority of the Lenders or the Majority Managing Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Managing Agent of the Lender Group which includes such Defaulting Committed Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Managing Agents have taken or may have taken any action hereunder (including, in each case, any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.01); provided, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or Managing Agents or each affected Lender or Managing Agent, as applicable, which affects such Defaulting Committed Lender or the related Managing Agent differently than other affected Lenders or Managing Agents shall require the consent of such Defaulting Committed Lender or the related Managing Agent, as applicable; and

(d) the Borrower may replace such Defaulting Committed Lender in accordance with Section 2.19 of this Agreement; provided, that in connection with such replacement such assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment or waiver.

In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that a Defaulting Committed Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Committed Lender to be a Defaulting Committed Lender, then (x) the Pro Rata Shares, the Lender Group Limits and Lender Group Percentages shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Committed Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Committed Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall determine may be necessary in order for such Committed Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share and for such Committed Lender’s Lender Group to hold such Loans in accordance with its Lender Group Percentage and (y) the provisions of clauses (a) through (d) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Committed Lender.

 

67


SECTION 2.19. Replacement of Lender Group. If (i) any Affected Party requests compensation under Section 2.09(a) or 2.10(a), (ii) any Conduit Lender ceases to fund or maintain its Loans through the issuance of Commercial Paper, (iii) any Managing Agent fails to give consent to any amendment or waiver to the Facility Documents requiring the consent of 100% of the Managing Agents or 100% of the Managing Agents for all affected Lenders and Managing Agents whose Lender Group Limits together equal or exceed 66 2/3 percent of the Lender Group Limits required for such vote have consented, (iv) any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Committed Lender or becomes the subject of a Bail-In Action or (v) any Designated Delay Funding Lender delivers a Funding Delay Notice, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, require each Lender in such Managing Agent’s Lender Group to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.03), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations(which assignee may be another Conduit Lender or Committed Lender, as applicable, if a Conduit Lender or Committed Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a member of a Lender Group hereunder, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (y) each member of such assigning Lender Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Loans funded or maintained by such Lender Group, together with all accrued Interest thereon and all accrued Unused Fees and other Borrower Obligations payable to them hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Loans) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.10(a), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

SECTION 2.20. Inability to Determinate Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of a Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or a continuation of any of such Loan, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.20(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 2.20(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Loan that accrues interest by reference to the Alternative Rate, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Managing Agents determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert any Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Alternative Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Alternative Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Managing Agents described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.20(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Managing Agents) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Loan which accrues interest by reference to the Alternative Rate in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loan shall be deemed to have been converted to a Loan which accrues interest by reference to the Alternative Rate immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

 

68


(b) Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Facility Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Managing Agents notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Managing Agents, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Managing Agents (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and sixth month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”).

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.20(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.20 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Managing Agents have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Managing Agents object to such amendment.

 

69


The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

For purposes of this Section 2.20, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Managing Agents.

SECTION 2.21. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternative Rate, the interest rate on which Loans which accrue interest by reference to the Alternative Rate of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternative Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Loans that accrue interest by reference to the Alternative Rate (the interest rate on which Loans which accrue interest by reference to the Alternative Rate of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternative Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternative Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.04.

93


(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith, deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control or an activation or control notice under the Clearing Account Control Agreement or the Diamond Lockbox Account Control Agreement, as applicable, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, auction or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and at prices that are consistent with the prevailing market for similar collateral as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Borrower Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including Section 9 504(1)(c) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower.

(c) During the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to instruct the Custodian to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by any of the Secured Parties of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) Business Days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Borrower Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any of the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7.04. Appointment as Attorney in Fact.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, effective during the continuation of any Event of Default, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, the Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) in the name of the Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

 

94


(ii) to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do.

The Borrower hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until payment in full of all Borrower Obligations.

(b) The Borrower also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 7.03 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

(c) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 7.05. Performance of Borrowers Obligations. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its material agreements contained in the Facility Documents and the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or such Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Rate, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or such Lender on demand and shall constitute Borrower Obligations.

 

95


SECTION 7.06. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

101


(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement,

(ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000, and

(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500.

(d) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). At all times during which any Loan is outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a register as provided herein (the “Register”). The Aggregate Loan Principal Balance (including stated interest) and any interests therein, and any Assignments and Acceptances of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance or any interest therein delivered to and accepted by the Administrative Agent, shall be registered in the Register, and the Register shall serve as a record of ownership that identifies the owner of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balances and any interest therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balances or any interest therein shall be effective unless and until such transfer has been recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. This Section 10.03(d) shall be construed so that the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance and any interest therein is maintained at all times in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code, solely for the purposes of this Section 10.03, the Administrative Agent will act as an agent of the Borrower. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Managing Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

 

102


(f) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Loan); provided that following the sale of a participation under this Agreement (i) the obligations of such Lender shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) reduces the amount of principal or Interest that is payable on account of any Loan or delays any scheduled date for payment thereof or (ii) reduces any fees payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (to the extent relating to payments to the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such fees. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Lender’s source of funds may derive in part from its Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.09 or 2.10 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Lenders shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be liable to any Participant under Sections 2.09 or 2.10 for an amount in excess of that which would be payable to the applicable Lender under such sections. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the aggregate principal balance (including stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Facility Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or other information relating to the Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment or Loan is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all the Managing Agents.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of the principal balance of the Loans and Interest with respect thereto) hereunder to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall (x) release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto or (y) create any additional, or modify any existing, obligations of the Seller, the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

SECTION 10.04. Additional Lender Groups. Upon the Borrower’s request and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), one or more additional Lender Group may be added to this Agreement at any time by the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by the members of such proposed additional Lender Group, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, (i) each Person specified therein as a “Conduit Lender” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Lender hereunder, (ii) each Person specified therein as a “Committed Lender” shall become a party hereto as a Committed Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder, (iii) each Person specified therein as a “Managing Agent” shall become a party hereto as a Managing Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Managing Agent hereunder and (iv) the Facility Limit shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Committed Lenders party to such Joinder Agreement.

SECTION 10.05. Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree 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.

 

103


(b) The Borrower consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.05 shall affect the right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT.

SECTION 10.07. Right of Setoff. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Amortization Date due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time that any Borrower Obligation hereunder is due and payable, to set off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Lender to, or for the account of, the Borrower against the amount of the Borrower Obligations owing by the Borrower to such Person.

SECTION 10.08. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Borrower Obligations or obligation of the Servicer in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such amount, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Borrower Obligations or Servicer obligation held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Borrower Obligations or Servicer obligations, as applicable; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

SECTION 10.09. Limitation of Liability.

(a) No claim may be made by any Transaction Party or any other party hereto against any other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each party hereto hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Conduit Lenders under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of each such Conduit Lender and shall be payable only at such time as funds are actually received by, or are available to, such Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper and other indebtedness of any such Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper and any other indebtedness.

 

104


(c) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of such Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of such Conduit Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any Conduit Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions made by them.

To further evidence the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Transferred Timeshare Loans, the Borrower, in its capacity as assignee of the Transferred Timeshare Loans, has requested that the Seller deliver this Assignment and Power of Attorney. The Seller, in order to further evidence its sale and/or contribution of the Transferred Timeshare Loans to the Borrower, has agreed to make such delivery as evidenced by its execution hereof.

The Seller does hereby convey and transfer to the Borrower all of its right, title and interest whether now or hereafter existing or in which the Seller now or hereafter acquires an interest and wherever the same may be located, in and to or arising under each of the Transferred Timeshare Loans, together with the Seller’s right to receive and collect all interest, principal, and other amounts or proceeds under or in connection with such Transferred Timeshare Loans.

This power of attorney shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

To induce any third party to act hereunder, each of the Borrower and the Seller hereby agrees that any third party receiving a duly executed copy or facsimile of this instrument may act hereunder, and that any notice of revocation or termination hereof or other revocation or termination hereof by operation of law shall be ineffective as to any actions by such third party prior to such third party’s receipt of notice of such revocation or termination.

This Assignment and Power of Attorney may not be amended or modified without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

Upon the payment in full of all obligations outstanding and otherwise owing under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments delivered in connection therewith, and the termination of all commitments to extend credit thereunder by the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto as lenders, this Assignment and Power of Attorney shall terminate without further action by the Administrative Agent or any other person.
