SECTION 2. THE LOANS. 2.1. The Revolving Loans. (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period up to but not including the Revolving Termination Date, the Lenders severally, but not jointly, shall make loans to the Borrowers in such amounts as the Borrowers may from time to time request (the "Revolving Loans") but not exceeding in aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding the Revolving Loan Limit. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c), the Revolving Loans shall be available in Dollars ("Domestic Advances") and Australian Currency ("Australian Advances"). No Lender shall be obligated under this Agreement to make a Revolving Loan if immediately after making such Revolving Loan, the Outstanding Obligations of such Lender would exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender's name on Schedule I, as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.1(h) or pursuant to Section 11.7 (such Lender's "Commitment"). (b) Domestic Advances. The Lenders severally, but not jointly, shall make Domestic Advances to Trendwest in such amounts as Trendwest may from time to time request, but at no time shall the aggregate principal amount of Domestic Advances outstanding exceed the Revolving Loan Limit. (c) Australian Advances. The Australian Lender shall make Australian Advances to South Pacific in such amounts as South Pacific may from time to time request, but at no time shall the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Australian Advances outstanding to South Pacific exceed the Australian Advance Limit. No Lender other than the Australian Lender shall make Australian Advances pursuant to this Agreement, and no Borrower other than South Pacific shall obtain Australian Advances. Upon the making of each Australian Advance by the Australian Lender, each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased from the Australian Lender, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation in such Australian Advance in an amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Share times the Dollar Equivalent of the Australian Advance. 19 (d) Repayment and Reborrowing. Prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrowers may, at the Borrowers' option, from time to time repay all or any portion of the Revolving Loans, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, and the Borrowers may reborrow from time to time amounts so paid up to the amount of the Revolving Loan Limit in effect at the time of reborrowing. (e) Making of the Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans shall be made as follows: (i) Amounts and Certain Conditions. Each Revolving Loan shall be made by the Lenders in such amount as the applicable Borrower shall request; provided, however, that each such Revolving Loan shall be in an amount that is a minimum of (A) with respect to any Domestic Advance, $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of $100,000, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (B) with respect to any Australian Advance, the Australian Currency Equivalent of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of the Australian Currency Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess of such amount. The obligation of the Lenders to make any Revolving Loan is conditioned upon (x) there being no Possible Default or Event of Default at such time or immediately after the Revolving Loan, and (y) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement being true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the date of such borrowing, except to the extent that any of such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date. (ii) Place, Notice, and Funding of Revolving Loans. (A) Place of Domestic Advances. Domestic Advances shall be effected at the principal banking office of the Administrative Agent in Seattle, Washington, and shall be made at such times as the applicable Borrower may request by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than (A) in the case of Base Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, on the Borrowing Date of a requested Base Rate Loan, and (B) in the case of LIBOR Loans, 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, three Banking Days prior to the Borrowing Date of a requested LIBOR Loan. (B) Place of Australian Advances. Australian Advances shall be effected at the Australian Lender's Money Market Desk in Adelaide, South Australia, and shall be made at such times as Trendwest may request by notice to the Australian Lender no later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, one Banking Day prior to the Borrowing Date of a requested Australian Advance. (C) Notice of Revolving Loans. The notices required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1(e)(ii)(A) and 2.1(e)(ii)(B) shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively (each a "Borrowing Notice"). The information in the Borrowing Notice may be communicated to the Administrative Agent, in the case of Domestic Advances, or to the Australian Lender, in the case of Australian Advances, by telephonic communication so long as the Administrative Agent or the Australian Lender, as the case may be, receives the signed Borrowing Notice by facsimile transmission or other delivery method on the same day as the telephone communication. So long as the Administrative Agent has acted in good faith in relying upon a Borrowing Notice purporting to be signed by the chief financial officer, treasurer or assistant treasurer of Trendwest, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, the Borrowing Notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been executed by such person, and authorized by the applicable Borrower, regardless of whether such Borrowing Notice subsequently proves to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient 20 in any respect. A copy of each Borrowing Notice required to be delivered by Trendwest to the Australian Lender shall be concurrently delivered by Trendwest to the Australian Lender's principal banking office in Chicago, Illinois and to the Administrative Agent. (D) Funding of Domestic Advances by Lenders. Upon receipt of each Borrowing Notice for a Domestic Advance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount and date of the proposed Domestic Advance (the "Funding Notification"). Not later than 12:00 Noon, Seattle time, on the Borrowing Date of a proposed Domestic Advance, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's address specified in Section 11.4 with immediately available Dollars equal to such Lender's Ratable Share of such Domestic Advance, and the Administrative Agent shall pay over such immediately available Dollars to Trendwest. (E) Non-Receipt of Funds/Domestic Advances. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Borrowing Date for a Domestic Advance to be made by such Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such funds, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such funds available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date for such Domestic Advance in accordance with Section 2.1(e)(ii)(D), and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Trendwest on such Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such funds available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent immediately on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Trendwest until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative Agent's demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Trendwest, and Trendwest shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Trendwest until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate of interest applicable at the time to such proposed Revolving Loan. (F) Funding of Australian Advances. Not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Borrowing Date of a proposed Australian Advance with respect to which the Australian Lender has received a Borrowing Notice, the Australian Lender shall make such Australian Advance, in immediately available Australian Currency, to South Pacific, and shall advise the Administrative Agent, in writing, of the Dollar Equivalent of such Australian Advance. If South Pacific at any time fails to pay when due any amount payable in connection with an Australian Advance, the Australian Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Dollar Equivalent of such amount ("Defaulted Amount"). Each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Australian Lender such Lender's Ratable Share of the Defaulted Amount. Each such payment shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan made by such Lender to South Pacific. The Base Rate Loans contemplated by the preceding sentence shall be 21 made notwithstanding Borrower's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5 at the time such Base Rate Loans are made. If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender of the Defaulted Amount before 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Australian Lender its Ratable Share of the Defaulted Amount by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on such Business Day in same day funds and if notified after 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time, then by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the next Business Day. If a Lender fails to make such payment by such time, it shall pay the Administrative Agent interest at the Federal Funds Rate on such amount for the account of the Australian Lender for each day from such date until such payment is made. The failure of a Lender to make any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under this Section 2.1(e)(ii)(F), but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such payment. Each Lender's payment of its Ratable Share of any Defaulted Amount shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to be a funding of such Lender's risk participation in the Australian Advance to which the Defaulted Amount relates, and each Lender making such payment shall thereupon acquire a participation interest, in accordance with such Lender's Ratable Share, in the claim of the Australian Lender against the Borrowers with respect to such payment. Each such Lender shall share, in accordance with its Ratable Share, in any payment made by the Borrowers with respect to such claim. (f) Conversion/Continuation of Domestic Advances. At Trendwest's election pursuant to notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D ("Domestic Conversion/Continuation Notice") given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, three Banking Days prior to such conversion or continuation, and subject to the condition that no Event of Default or Possible Default shall then exist, any Domestic Advance may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Loan as requested by Trendwest; provided, however, that each such conversion shall be in an amount that is a minimum of $1,000,000, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000. The Domestic Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be in writing, or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other facsimile transmission on the same day as the telephone request, and shall specify (i) the proposed date of the conversion or continuation, and (ii) the Domestic Advance being converted or continued, and (iii) the Interest Period to be applicable in connection with such conversion or continuation. The Domestic Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be accompanied by a completed Borrowing Base Certificate, duly executed by Trendwest and dated as of the date of the Domestic Conversion/Continuation Notice. If Trendwest has not timely delivered to the Administrative Agent a Domestic Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to any terminating Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Loan, the affected Domestic Advance shall convert to a one-month LIBOR Loan at the end of such Interest Period. (g) Continuation/Conversion of Australian Advances. At Trendwest's election pursuant to notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E ("Australian Continuation Notice") given to the Australian Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, one Banking Day prior to such continuation, and subject to the condition that no Event of Default or Possible Default shall then exist, any Australian Advance may be continued as an Australian Advance as requested by South Pacific. The Australian Continuation Notice shall be in writing, or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other facsimile transmission on the same day as the telephone request, and shall specify (i) the proposed date of the continuation, and (ii) the Australian Advance being continued, and (iii) the Interest Period to be applicable in connection with such continuation. The Australian Continuation Notice shall be accompanied by a completed Borrowing Base Certificate, duly executed by Trendwest and dated as of the date of the Australian Continuation Notice. With respect to any continuation of an Australian Advance pursuant to this paragraph, the Dollar Equivalent of such Australian Advance on the proposed date of 22 continuation shall not exceed or be less than the Original Dollar Amount of such Australian Advance. On the first day of the Interest Period specified in the Australian Continuation Notice, South Pacific shall make such prepayments, or the Australian Lender shall make such additional Australian Advances, as shall be necessary to ensure compliance with the immediately preceding sentence. If Trendwest has not timely delivered to the Australian Lender and the Administrative Agent an Australian Continuation Notice with respect to any terminating Interest Period, the affected Australian Advance shall convert to a one-month LIBOR Loan at the end of such Interest Period. (h) Reduction of Aggregate Commitment. At any time prior to the Revolving Termination Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, three Banking Days prior to such termination or reduction, Trendwest may permanently terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Aggregate Commitment, subject to Section 3.4(b)(i). Such notice shall be in writing or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other facsimile transmission on the same day as such telephone notice. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount that is not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitment. (i) Maturity. All Revolving Loans, together with all interest accrued on such Revolving Loans, shall be paid in full no later than the Revolving Termination Date. (j) Revolving Notes. All Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit F, duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers at Closing, dated the date of this Agreement, and made payable to each Lender in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender's Ratable Share of the Aggregate Commitment (the "Revolving Notes"). The Lenders may, and are hereby authorized by the Borrowers to, set forth on any grids attached to the Revolving Notes, or in other comparable records maintained by the Lenders, the amount of each Revolving Loan, all payments and prepayments of principal and interest received, the current outstanding principal balance, and other appropriate information with respect to the Revolving Loans. The aggregate unpaid amount of any Revolving Loan set forth in any records maintained by a Lender with respect to a Revolving Note shall be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Revolving Note. Failure of a Lender to record the principal amount of any Revolving Loan on the grid(s) attached to a Revolving Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement or under such Revolving Note to repay the principal amount of and all interest accrued on such Revolving Loan. (k) Letters of Credit. (i) The Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, until the Revolving Termination Date, the Issuing Lender shall take such Letter of Credit Actions as Trendwest may from time to time request; provided, however, that the Outstanding Obligations of each Lender (excluding the Australian Lender's Australian Advances) shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment, the Outstanding Obligations of all Lenders shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment at any time, and Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time. Subject to subsection (vi) below and unless consented to by the Issuing Lender and Majority Lenders, no Letter of Credit may expire more than 12 months after the date of its issuance or last renewal; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall expire after the Revolving Termination Date. If any Letter of Credit Usage remains outstanding after such date, Trendwest shall, not later than such date, deposit cash in an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Usage in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account. 23 (ii) Requesting Letter of Credit Actions. Trendwest may irrevocably request a Letter of Credit Action in an amount of at least $100,000 by delivering a Letter of Credit Application therefor to the Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent (who shall notify the Lenders), by written (not telephonic) notice not later than two Banking Days prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit Action ("Letter of Credit Notice"). Each Letter of Credit Action shall be in a form acceptable to the Issuing Lender, in its sole discretion. Unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Issuing Lender that such Letter of Credit Action is not permitted under this Agreement, or the Issuing Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has determined that such Letter of Credit Action is contrary to any applicable laws or policies of the Issuing Lender, the Issuing Lender shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5 with respect to any Letter of Credit Action constituting an Extension of Credit, effect such Letter of Credit Action. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any Letter of Credit Application. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. (iii) Reimbursement of Payments Under Letters of Credit. Trendwest shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent for any payment that the Issuing Lender makes under a Letter of Credit on or before the date of such payment; provided, however, that if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 can be satisfied, Trendwest may request a Domestic Advance to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such payment pursuant to Section 2.1 or, failing to make such request, Trendwest shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan on such payment date pursuant to subsection (v) below. (iv) Funding by Lenders When Issuing Lender Not Reimbursed. Upon any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and Trendwest. If Trendwest fails to timely make the payment required pursuant to subsection (iii) above, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and the amount of such unreimbursed payment ("Unreimbursed Amounts"). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of such amount by prompt written notice. Each Lender shall make funds in an amount equal to its Ratable Share of such amount available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's address specified in Section 11.4 not later than 12:00 Noon, Seattle time, on the proposed date of issuance set forth in the Letter of Credit Application, and the Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Lender. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Possible Default or Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Trendwest to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided in this Agreement. (v) Nature of Lenders' Funding. If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Letter of Credit Notice) on any date that Trendwest is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse the Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the funding by Lenders pursuant to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be Base Rate Loans (without regard to the required minimum amount) deemed requested by Trendwest. If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 cannot be satisfied on the date that Trendwest is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse the Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, Each Lender's payment pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to be a funding by such Lender of its risk participation in such Letter of Credit, and each Lender 24 making such funding shall thereupon acquire a participation interest, in accordance with such Lender's Ratable Share, in the claim of the Issuing Lender against Trendwest in respect of such payment and shall share, in accordance with that Ratable Share, in any payment made by Trendwest with respect to such claim. Any amounts made available by a Lender under its risk participation shall be payable by Trendwest upon demand of the Administrative Agent, and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. (vi) Special Provisions Relating to Evergreen Letters of Credit. Trendwest may request Letters of Credit that have automatic extension or renewal provisions ("evergreen" Letters of Credit) so long as the Issuing Lender consents in its sole and absolute discretion to such extension or renewal and has the right to not permit any such extension or renewal at least annually within a notice period to be agreed upon at the time each such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an evergreen Letter of Credit is issued, unless the Administrative Agent has notified the Issuing Lender that the Majority Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or renewal, Trendwest, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit the renewal of such evergreen Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Revolving Termination Date, and, unless directed by the Issuing Lender, Trendwest shall not be required to request such extension or renewal. The Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to permit an evergreen Letter of Credit to be extended or renewed at any time. (vii) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Trendwest to pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, Trendwest's obligation shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other related agreement or instrument; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other related agreement or instrument; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other related agreement or instrument, or any unrelated transactions; (D) any demand, statement, or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; 25 (E) payment by the Issuing Lender in good faith under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws; (F) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any property purported to be represented by documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit or for any difference between any such property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such property as described in such documents; (G) the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of property as described in documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto; (H) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any documents in connection with such Letter of Credit; (I) any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any property; (J) any error in the transmission of any message relating to such Letter of Credit not caused by the Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message; (K) any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of the Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; (L) any consequence arising from acts of God, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of Issuing Lender; (M) so long as the Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the document appears to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; and (N) any other circumstances whatsoever where the Issuing Lender has acted in good faith. In addition, Trendwest will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and related amendments delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Trendwest's instructions or other irregularity, Trendwest will immediately notify the Issuing Lender in writing. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 26 (viii) Role of Issuing Lender. Each Lender and Trendwest agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Administrative Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable; any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Trendwest hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Trendwest's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Administrative Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subsection (vii) above. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. (ix) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and Trendwest when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, performance under Letters of Credit by the Issuing Lender, its correspondents, and beneficiaries will be governed by (A) with respect to standby Letters of Credit, the rules of the "International Standby Practices 1998" or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, subject to applicable laws, and (B) with respect to commercial Letters of Credit, the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as published in its most recent version by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") on the date any commercial Letter of Credit is issued, and including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro). 2.2. Fees. (a) Revolving Loan Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares, the Commitment Fee with respect to each calendar quarter, in arrears, on (i) each September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30 during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Termination Date, and (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date. On each annual anniversary of the Closing Date, Trendwest shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the applicable Administrative Agent fees. (b) Letter of Credit Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit, upon the issuance, renewal, and/or amendment of such Letter of Credit, Trendwest shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a nonrefundable fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. In addition, Trendwest shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter in arrears, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable Letter of Credit fee equal to the product of the Applicable Margin times the average daily Letter of Credit Usage since the later of the Closing Date and the first Banking Day of the previous calendar quarter. 27 2.3. Increased Costs. If at any time any Regulatory Change (including any Regulatory Change with respect to Regulation D) shall (a) impose any reserve and/or special deposit requirement against assets held by or deposits in, or for the amount of any loans or letters of credit by, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, or (b) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever (other than any tax imposed upon the net income of such Lender and other than changes in franchise taxes), and the result of any such Regulatory Change is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Lender of making, maintaining or renewing a Revolving Loan or issuing, maintaining or renewing a Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of principal, interest or fees received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender with respect to any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit, then such Lender or Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and Trendwest of such occurrence. Thereafter, upon demand by such Lender, Trendwest shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate and indemnify such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. A statement as to the increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned in this Section shall be submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent and Trendwest and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced amount. 2.4. Australian Currency Unavailable or BBSY Rate Unascertainable. If the Australian Lender determines with respect to any Australian Advance that Australian Currency of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period is not available to it in the foreign exchange market or that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the BBSY Rate applicable to such Interest Period, or that the BBSY Rate does not adequately reflect the cost to the Australian Lender of making such Australian Advance, as the case may be, the Australian Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and any request for a new Australian Advance, or any Australian Conversion Notice with respect to which no conversion or continuation has yet occurred, shall be deemed to be a request for, and Borrowing Notice with respect to, a Domestic Advance of like amount. The Australian Lender's determination under this Section 2.4 shall be conclusive. 2.5. Changes in Law Rendering Australian Advances Unlawful. If at any time any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for the Australian Lender to fund any Australian Advance that the Australian Lender has committed to make under this Agreement with Australian Currency, the Australian Lender shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the obligation of the Australian Lender to fund such Australian Advance shall, upon the occurrence of such event, immediately be suspended for the duration of such illegality. If any such Regulatory Change makes it unlawful for the Australian Lender to continue in effect the funding of any Australian Advance previously made by it, the Australian Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing, and South Pacific shall, on the earlier of (a) the last day of the then-current Interest Period, or (b) if required by such Regulatory Change, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either convert all such Australian Advances to Domestic Advances or prepay all such Australian Advances in full. 2.6. LIBOR Not Ascertainable. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for 28 ascertaining LIBOR for a LIBOR Loan, or that LIBOR does not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making such LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such determination to Trendwest, and any request for a new LIBOR Loan, or any Domestic Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to which no conversion or continuation has yet occurred, shall be deemed to be a request for, and Borrowing Notice with respect to, a Base Rate Loan of like amount. 2.7. Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If at any time any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to fund any LIBOR Loan that the Lender has committed to make under this Agreement, the Lender shall notify Trendwest and the Administrative Agent, and the obligation of such Lender to fund such LIBOR Loan shall, upon the occurrence of such event, immediately be suspended for the duration of such illegality. If any such Regulatory Change makes it unlawful for any Lender to continue in effect the funding of any LIBOR Loan previously made by it, such Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify Trendwest and the Administrative Agent in writing, and Trendwest shall, on the earlier of (a) the last day of the then-current Interest Period, or (b) if required by such Regulatory Change, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either convert such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan or prepay such LIBOR Loan in full. 2.8. Indemnity. Without prejudice to any other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that it may sustain or incur as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to accept any LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance requested pursuant to this Agreement or any default by the Borrowers in payment when due of any amount due under this Agreement with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance or any whole or partial prepayment or conversion by the Borrowers of a LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance prior to the end of its Interest Period, whether voluntarily or as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including any premium or penalty actually incurred by such Lender with respect to funds borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance, as determined by such Lender. A statement as to any such loss or expense shall be submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers for payment under this paragraph, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, which statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount of such loss or expense. 2.9. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that any Regulatory Change with respect to capital adequacy, or compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital (or on the capital of such Lender's holding company) as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies or the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its holding company) for such reduction. Such Lender 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 sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount to be paid to it in such respect shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's rights to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital in such period or in any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or other condition that shall have been imposed. 29 2.10. Australian GST. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (i) in the event that GST has application to any supply made under or in connection with this Agreement by a Lender, that Lender may, in addition to any amount or consideration payable under this Agreement, recover from South Pacific an additional amount on account of GST, such amount to be calculated by multiplying the relevant amount or consideration payable by South Pacific for the relevant supply by the prevailing GST rate; and /or (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Lender is not entitled to an input tax credit in respect of the amount of any GST charged to or recovered from that Lender by any person, or payable by that Lender, or in respect of any amount which is recovered from that Lender by way of reimbursement of GST referable directly or indirectly to any supply made under or in connection with this Agreement, that Lender shall be entitled to increase any amount or consideration payable by South Pacific on account of such input tax and recover from South Pacific the amount of any such increase. (b) Any additional amount on account of GST, or on account of an amount for which a Lender is not entitled to an input tax credit, recoverable from South Pacific pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be calculated without any deduction or set-off of any other amount and is payable by South Pacific upon demand by the party whether such demand is by means of an invoice or otherwise. (c) Each Lender will use its best endeavors to determine reasonably the extent (if any) to which any amount payable by South Pacific to that party for any supply made under this Agreement may be reduced as a direct consequence of the abolition of or reduction in any taxes, duties, or statutory charges paid or payable by that Lender (as part of the imposition of GST) that directly relate to the supply by that Lender, and the amount payable by South Pacific to that Lender shall be reduced only to the extent of the reduction (if any) so determined by the Australian Lender. (d) Without limiting sub-paragraph 2.10(a), if requested by South Pacific in writing, the relevant Lender will provide an invoice in relation to any supply to which sub-paragraph 2.10(a) has been applied no later than 28 days after the request is made. 2.11. Survival. All of the Borrowers' obligations under Sections 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8 2.9, and 2.10 shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations. SECTION 3. PAYMENTS. 3.1. Interest. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan for the period commencing on the date on which such Revolving Loan is made until such Revolving Loan is paid in full, and such payments shall be made in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and thereafter on demand. Subject to Section 3.1(b), prior to maturity, all Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, all LIBOR Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and all Australian Advances shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the BBSY Rate plus the Applicable Margin. With respect to any particular interest payment to be made on an Interest Payment Date, the Applicable Margin used in 30 calculating the amount of such payment shall be computed by reference to (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, the calendar quarter ending immediately before such Interest Payment Date, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period ending on such Interest Payment Date. (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan and (to the extent permitted by law) unpaid interest on such Revolving Loan and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall bear interest from the date of occurrence of the Event of Default until paid in full at the Default Interest Rate. (c) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. (d) The rate of interest payable on any Revolving Note from time to time shall in no event exceed the maximum rate, if any, permissible under applicable law. If the rate of interest payable on any Revolving Note is ever reduced as a result of the preceding sentence and any time thereafter the maximum rate permitted by applicable law shall exceed the rate of interest provided for on such Revolving Note, then the rate provided for on such Revolving Note shall be increased to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law for such period as is required so that the total amount of interest received by the holder of such Revolving Note is that which would have been received by such holder but for the operation of the preceding sentence. 3.2. Principal. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders on the Revolving Termination Date the entire outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans. 3.3. Other Payment Matters. (a) Payment Statements. Prior to each Interest Payment Date with respect to Domestic Advances, the Administrative Agent shall render a statement to the Borrower of all amounts due to the Lenders for principal, interest and fees under this Agreement. Prior to each Interest Payment Date with respect to Australian Advances, the Australian Lender shall render a statement to South Pacific (with a copy to Trendwest and the Administrative Agent) of all amounts due to the Australian Lender for principal, interest and fees under this Agreement. All amounts listed on any such statement with respect to a Domestic Advance or Australian Advance shall be due and payable on the Interest Payment Date with respect to which such statement was sent. As to all other Obligations that become due and payable other than on a fixed date by their terms, the Administrative Agent or the Australian Lender, as the case may be, shall advise the Borrowers (and the Administrative Agent, in the case of an Australian Advance) by a written statement that they are due and payable, and the Borrowers shall pay the same within ten days of receipt of such statement. Any failure by the Administrative Agent or the Australian Lender to render any such statement or give any such advice shall in no way relieve the Borrowers of any liability for or obligation to pay any amount due and payable under this Agreement. (b) Days Other Than Banking Days. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement, including any payment to be made on a Revolving Note, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Revolving Note. (c) Time and Place of Payments. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments or prepayments made or due under this Agreement or under the Revolving Notes shall be made in immediately available Dollars or, in the case of Australian Advances, immediately available Australian Currency, by federal funds wire transfer, and without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to 31 the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in the case of Domestic Advances, or for the account of the Australian Lender in the case of Australian Advances, prior to 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, on the date when due, at its offices at 431 East Park Center Boulevard, Boise, Idaho 83706, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the Administrative Agent. Funds received after 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day. At the time of making each payment or prepayment in connection with this Agreement or the Revolving Notes, the applicable Borrower shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Revolving Loan or other obligation to which such payment is to be applied. In the event that the applicable Borrower fails to specify the relevant Revolving Loan or other obligation to which such payment is to be applied or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment to such Revolving Loans or other obligation as it may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Borrowers authorize the Administrative Agent to debit the Borrowers' accounts with the Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment of amounts due under this Agreement to be made; provided, however, that insufficient funds in such accounts shall in no way relieve the Borrowers of any liability for or obligation to pay any such amounts. (d) Currency Matters. This Agreement arises in the context of an international transaction, and the specification of payment in a specific currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence. Such specified currency shall be the currency of account and payment under this Agreement. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable currency and transfer to the Lenders under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of such currency due under this Agreement. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such currency due under this Agreement, then the Lenders shall have an independent cause of action against the Borrowers for the currency deficit. (e) Non-Receipt of Funds from Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders under this Agreement that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the applicable Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 3.4. Prepayments. (a) Voluntary Prepayments. By notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall be in writing or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other facsimile transmission on the same day as such telephone notice) no later than 10:00 a.m., Seattle time, on the Banking Day of such prepayment, in the case of any Base Rate Loan, or on the fifth Banking Day prior to such prepayment, in the case of any LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance, the applicable Borrower may, at such Borrower's option, prepay any Domestic Advance or Australian Advance in whole at any time or in part from time to time without penalty or premium (except that any such prepayment of any LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance shall be made together with payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium); provided, however, that each partial prepayment of a Base Rate Loan shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $250,000 32 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of $250,000, and each partial prepayment of a LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000. All accrued interest on the amount prepaid shall be paid with the prepayment. (b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) Compliance with Revolving Loan Limit. If at any time the Outstanding Obligations exceed the Revolving Loan Limit, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans, without penalty or premium (except that any such prepayment of any LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance shall be made together with payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium), in an amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Obligations not to exceed the Revolving Loan Limit. All accrued interest on amounts prepaid pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid with the prepayment. (ii) Compliance with Australian Advance Limit. If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of Australian Advances exceeds the Australian Advance Limit, South Pacific shall immediately prepay the Australian Advances, together with the applicable Prepayment Premium (if any), in an amount necessary to cause the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of Australian Advances not to exceed the Australian Advance Limit. All accrued interest on amounts prepaid pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid with the prepayment. (iii) Insurance Proceeds. Immediately following the date of receipt of any cash payments under any insurance policy maintained by the Borrowers that have not been reinvested, or irrevocably deposited with the Administrative Agent for reinvestment, in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrowers or used to maintain the business of the Borrowers as a going concern as a consequence of any business interruption, the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such unreinvested or unused proceeds; provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default or Possible Default, all such insurance proceeds, regardless of reinvestment or other use, received by the Borrowers shall be applied as a prepayment of the Revolving Loans. (c) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be applied first to any Prepayment Premium then due, then to accrued interest and Fees, and then to the principal outstanding in connection with the Revolving Loans. All mandatory prepayments of principal required to be made pursuant to Sections 3.4(b)(i) or 3.4(b)(ii) shall be applied first to the Base Rate Loans, and then, after the principal balances of the Base Rate Loans have been reduced to zero, to the LIBOR Loans and Australian Advances with the shortest remaining Interest Periods; provided, however, that if the amount of Base Rate Loans then outstanding is not sufficient to satisfy the entire prepayment requirement, the applicable Borrower may, at its option, place any amounts that it would otherwise be required to use to prepay LIBOR Loans and Australian Advances on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor in an account (the "Prepayment Account") pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders until the end of such Interest Period, at which time such pledged amounts will be applied to prepay such LIBOR Loans and Australian Advances. Unless a Possible Default or Event of Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent shall, acting upon written instructions of the applicable Borrower, invest amounts placed in the Prepayment Account in Eligible Investments; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with such investment activities (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct). Subject to the foregoing described pledge, all interest and earnings on amounts placed in the Prepayment Account shall be for the account of the applicable Borrower. 33 (d) Prepayment Premium. Upon any prepayment or conversion (whether voluntary or involuntary) of any LIBOR Loan or Australian Advance not made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Prepayment Premium to (i) the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and (ii) the Australian Lender, for its own account and not for the benefit of the other Lenders, in the case of Australian Advances.

As of the Closing Date, neither of the Borrowers has filed with the Internal Revenue Service or any other domestic or foreign governmental authority any agreement or other document extending or having the effect of extending the period for assessment or collection of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other impositions.

Neither of the Borrowers has violated or breached in any material respect the provisions of any indenture, license, agreement, note, lease, or other instrument or document to which it is a party or by which it is bound, nor does there exist any material default, or any event or condition that, upon notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a material default, under any such indenture, license, agreement, note, lease, or other instrument or document. 4.14. Statements Not Misleading. No statement, representation or warranty made by either of the Borrowers or any other party on behalf of either of the Borrowers (other than the Administrative Agent or the Lenders) in or pursuant to this Agreement or the Exhibits contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, nor omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make such statement not misleading, except where such untrue statement, omission or violation relates to a condition, situation, event or thing that could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the either of the Borrowers or their ability to perform the Obligations. There is no fact known to either of the Borrowers (other than matters of a general economic nature) that has had or could have a material adverse effect upon either such Borrower and that has not been disclosed in this Agreement or in other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 4.15. Consents or Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority or any other Person is required to be obtained by either of the Borrowers in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, that has not already been obtained or completed, except for (a) the consents listed on Exhibit K that have not been obtained, and (b) those consents, approvals, and authorizations that have been obtained. 4.16.

Trendwest has made available to the Administrative Agent true and complete copies of each of the foregoing contracts and commitments. 4.17. Employee Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.17, neither Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has or will have any liability, or reasonably anticipates any liability of any kind in excess, in the aggregate, of $100,000, with respect to any Benefit Arrangement other than (a) a Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (b) a fully insured employee welfare benefit plan (as defined under ERISA Section 3(1)), or (c) any self-insured medical plan covering active employees. Neither of the Borrowers nor any member of the Controlled Group has, will have, or reasonably anticipates (i) any liability of any kind in excess, in the aggregate, of $100,000 for any post-retirement welfare benefits, or (ii) any liability of any kind in excess, in the aggregate, of $250,000 under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement. With respect to the Plans currently maintained by the Borrowers or any member of the Controlled Group: (A) each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) is so qualified and has been so qualified during the period from its adoption to date and each trust forming a part of each such Plan is exempt from tax under Code Section 501(a), (B) each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law, has been administered in accordance with its terms, and all required contributions have been made, and (C) neither of the Borrowers nor any member of the Controlled Group knows or has reason to know that such Borrower or any member of the Controlled Group has engaged in a transaction that would subject it to any material tax, penalty or liability under ERISA or the Code for any prohibited transaction. Neither of the Borrowers nor any member of the Controlled Group maintains, contributes to or has any liability with respect to any Pension Plan, including any Multiemployer Plan. 4.18.

REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision or implication in this Agreement or elsewhere, 9.1. Optional Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Sections 8.1 through 8.4 or Sections 8.8 through 8.14 occurs, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, upon written notice to the Borrowers, may (a) terminate the Aggregate Commitment and the credit established by this Agreement, at which time the obligations of the Lenders to make any additional Revolving Loans, and the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue any Letters of Credit, immediately shall be terminated, (b) accelerate the maturity of the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations, at which time all Obligations shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers, and/or (c) demand immediate payment by the Borrowers of an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage, to be held in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account. 9.2. Automatic Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Sections 8.5 through 8.7 occurs, (a) the Aggregate Commitment and the credit established by this Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate, and the Lenders thereafter shall be under no obligation to grant any additional Revolving Loans and the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letters of Credit, (b) the principal of and interest on the Revolving Notes, then outstanding, and all of the other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable in full, all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers, and (c) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall be immediately due and payable to the Issuing Lender without notice to or demand upon the Borrowers, which are expressly waived by the Borrowers, to be held in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account. 9.3. Performance by the Lenders. If at any time either of the Borrowers fails or refuses to pay or perform any material obligation or duty to any third Person, except for payments that are the subject of bona fide disputes in the ordinary course of business, the Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated to, pay or perform the same on behalf of such Borrower, and such Borrower shall promptly repay all amounts so paid, and all costs and expenses so incurred. This repayment obligation shall become one of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate as if such obligation were a Base Rate Loan. 9.4. Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may exercise any other right, power or remedy as may be provided in this Agreement, in the Revolving Notes, or as may 52 be provided at law or in equity, including the right to recover judgment against the Borrowers for any amount due either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of any security or any realization upon any security. 9.5. Enforcement and Waiver by the Lenders. The Lenders shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Lenders in refraining from so doing at any time, unless the Lenders shall have waived such enforcement in writing with respect to a particular instance. The failure of the Lenders at any time to enforce their rights under such provisions shall not be construed as having created a custom or course of dealing in any way contrary to the specific provisions of this Agreement, or as having in any way modified or waived such rights. All rights, powers and remedies of the Lenders are cumulative and concurrent and the exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right, power or remedy. SECTION 10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 10.1. Appointment and Authorization. (a) KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the Administrative Agent of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Section 10. The Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement. (b) The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Majority Lenders to act for such Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Section 10 included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lender. 10.2. Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under this Agreement as are specifically delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement, together with such additional powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any implied duties or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action under this Agreement except any action specifically provided by this Agreement to be taken by the Administrative Agent. 10.3. General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees shall be liable to the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees shall be responsible for, or have any duty to examine (a) the genuineness, execution, validity, effectiveness, enforceability, value or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document or instrument furnished pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, (b) the collectibility of any amounts owed by the Borrowers, (c) any recitals, statements, reports, representations or warranties made in connection with this Agreement, (d) the performance or satisfaction by the Borrowers or other party of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, (e) any failure of any party to this Agreement to receive any communication sent, including any facsimile, telegram, teletype, bank wire, cable, radiogram or telephone message sent or any writing, 54 application, notice, report, statement, certificate, resolution, request, order, consent letter or other instrument or paper or communication entrusted to the mails or to a delivery service, or (f) the assets or liabilities or financial condition or results of operations or business or creditworthiness of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement. 10.4. Action on Instructions of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders (subject to Section 10.12 and Section 11.13), and such instructions shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all holders of the Revolving Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.4 shall not limit in any way the exercise by any Lender of any right or remedy granted to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any reference in this Agreement to action by the Lenders shall be deemed to be a reference to the Majority Lenders. 10.5. Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent under this Agreement by or through employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 10.6. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Revolving Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, with respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent, concerning all matters pertaining to the agency created by and the duties under this Agreement. 10.7. Administrative Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, which indemnification shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Ratable Shares of the Aggregate Commitment, (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under this Agreement, (b) for any other expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement, and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other document or transaction related to this Agreement or the enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement or of any such other document; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. 10.8. Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Ratable Share of the Revolving Loans, the Revolving Loans made by it and the Revolving Notes and Letters of Credit issued to it or by it, KeyBank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include KeyBank National Association in its individual capacity. KeyBank 55 National Association may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with Trendwest and/or any of its Subsidiaries as if it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender under this Agreement. 10.9. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by Trendwest and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep the Lenders informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for in this Agreement or to inspect the properties or books of Trendwest or any of its Subsidiaries. Except for such notice and other notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Trendwest and its Subsidiaries that may come into its possession. 10.10. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders (with the consent of the Borrowers, if at the time of such resignation no Event of Default exists, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders (with the consent of the Borrowers to the extent required) and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank chartered under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States and having capital, surplus and retained earnings of at least $200,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall immediately succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 10.11. Ratable Sharing. All principal and interest payments received by the Administrative Agent with respect to Domestic Advances and Defaulted Amounts and all Fees other than the Administrative Agent Fees shall be remitted to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the Revolving Loans. All principal and interest payments received by the Australian Lender with respect to Australian Advances shall be retained by the Australian Lender for its own account (and not for the benefit of the other Lenders) to the extent that such payments do not represent repayment of Defaulted Amounts. All amounts received by the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be retained by the Issuing Lender for its own account (and not for the benefit of the other Lenders) to the extent that such payments do not represent payment of Unreimbursed Amounts. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender upon the sale of any collateral for the Obligations or upon the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or upon the exercise of any right of setoff shall be remitted to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the Revolving Loans. If any Lender shall obtain any payment under this Agreement in connection with a Domestic Advance, Defaulted Amount, or Unreimbursed Amount (whether voluntary, involuntary, through exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Share, then such Lender shall immediately remit such excess to the other Lenders to the extent necessary 56 to ensure that each Lender has received no more than and no less than its Ratable Share of such payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all Liens at any time granted to the Administrative Agent are for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares. 10.12. Actions by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take formal action only upon the agreement of the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Lenders of a Possible Default or an Event of Default, and the Majority Lenders cannot agree (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld) on a mutual course of action within thirty days following such notice, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) pursue such legal rights and remedies against the Borrowers as it deems necessary and appropriate to protect the Lenders and any collateral under the circumstances. 10.13. Other Agents. None of Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a "Syndication Agent" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Lenders so identified as a "Syndication Agent" shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 11.1. Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to those of any other guaranty, security agreement, note or other evidence of the Obligations, all of which shall be construed as complementary to each other. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Lenders from enforcing any or all of such instruments in accordance with their respective terms. Each right, power or privilege specified or referred to in this Agreement is in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges that the Lenders may otherwise have or acquire by operation of law, by other contract or otherwise. No course of dealing with respect to, nor any omission or delay in the exercise of, any right, power or privilege by the Lenders shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further or other exercise thereof or of any other, as each right, power or privilege may be exercised independently or concurrently with others and as often and in such order as the Lenders may deem expedient. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement that is in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law. 11.2. Further Assurance. From time to time, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents and take such actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, or to preserve and protect the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement. 11.3. Expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; Indemnification. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Borrowers shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent's counsel, incurred by the Lenders in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, amendment, or modification of, and the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, (ii) the making of the Revolving Loans and issuance of 56 Letters of Credit, (iii) the negotiation, preparation or enforcement of any other document in connection with this Agreement or the Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit, (iv) any proceeding brought or other action taken by the Lenders to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to enforce or exercise any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, or (v) any action that may be taken or instituted by any Person against any Lender as a result of any of the foregoing. The estimated fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent's counsel through the Closing shall be paid to the Administrative Agent (for its own account and not for the benefit of the Lenders) on the Closing Date. If any taxes, charges or fees shall be payable, or ruled to be payable, to any state or federal authority with respect to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the Revolving Notes or Letters of Credit by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted federal or state statute, the Borrowers will pay all such taxes, charges or fees, including related interest and penalties, if any, and will indemnify and hold harmless the Lenders against any liability in connection with such taxes, charges or fees (other than any tax imposed upon the net income of the Lenders). (b) The Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, subsidiaries and affiliates (the "Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (including reasonable attorneys fees) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person if there is a judicial determination that such losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. 11.4. Notices.

Waiver and Release by the Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers releases the Administrative Agent and each Lender from, and hereby waives, all claims for loss or damage caused by any act or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or their respective officers, attorneys, agents and employees, except gross negligence and willful misconduct. 11.6. Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Such Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that the Lenders may have under law, at equity, by contract or otherwise. The Borrowers and the Australian Lender acknowledge and agree that the Obligations are mutual debts within the meaning of Section 86(1) of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 of the Commonwealth of Australia (as incorporated in the Corporations Law), and that upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrowers, the provisions of Section 86 of such Bankruptcy Act shall apply so that any Obligations due from the Borrowers to the Australian Lender under this Agreement shall be set off against any sum due from the Australian Lender to the Borrowers under this Agreement. 58 11.7. Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations. (a) Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred to in this Agreement, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; provided, however, that neither of the Borrowers may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or under the Revolving Notes without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. (b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Commitment and/or Revolving Loans; provided, however, that (i) such assignment, if not to a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be consented to by Trendwest at all times other than during the existence of a Default or Event of Default and by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, and the Australian Lender (which approval of Trendwest shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) a copy of a duly signed and completed Assignment and Acceptance shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, (iii) except in the case of an assignment (A) to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or to another Lender or (B) of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender, the portion of the Commitment assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000, and (iv) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date that is five Banking Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment and Acceptance. Upon obtaining any consent required as set forth in the prior sentence, any forms required by Section 11.8 and payment of the requisite fee described below, the assignee named in the Assignment and Acceptance shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Interest (as defined in such Assignment and Acceptance), and the assigning Lender shall be released from any further obligations under this Agreement to the extent of such Assigned Interest. Upon request, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver new or replacement Revolving Notes to the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender to evidence Revolving Loans made by them. The Administrative Agent's consent to any assignment shall not be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Indemnified Person as to any matter. For purposes of this Agreement, each mutual fund that is an Affiliate of a Lender shall be deemed to be a single Eligible Assignee, whether or not such fund is managed by the same fund manager as other mutual funds that are Affiliates of the same Lender. (c) After receipt of a completed Assignment and Acceptance, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Eligible Assignee and/or such assigning Lender (including in the case of assignments to Affiliates of assigning Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide to the Borrowers and Lenders a revised Schedule I giving effect thereto. (d) Each Lender may from time to time, without the consent of any other Person, grant participations to one or more other Person (including another Lender) in all or any portion of its Ratable Share of the Revolving Loans and/or Aggregate Commitment; provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender under this Agreement for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 2.3 through 2.10 (but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to the Borrowers does not exceed the cost that the Borrowers would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation) and subject to Sections 10.11 and 11.6, (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent 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, (v) the participation agreement shall not restrict an increase in the Aggregate Commitment or in the granting Lender's Commitment or Ratable Share, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not increased, and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the assigning Lender may, in any agreement with a participant, give such participant the right to consent to any matter that (A) extends the Revolving Credit Termination Date as to such participant or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to such participant, (B) reduces the rate of interest 60 owing to such participant, any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such participant, or (C) reduces the amount of any installment of principal owing to such participant. Any Lender that sells a participation to any Person that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code shall include in its participation agreement with such Person a covenant by such Person that such Person will comply with the provisions of Section 11.8 as if such Person were a Lender and provide that the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be third party beneficiaries of such covenant. (e) KeyBank National Association shall not enter into any agreement with any other Lender pursuant to which the former agrees not to consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of such other Lender. (f) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender (a "Designating Lender") may grant to one or more special purpose funding vehicles (each, an "SPV"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Designating Lender to the Administrative Agent and Trendwest, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Revolving Loan that such Designating Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Revolving Loan, (B) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Revolving Loan, the Designating Lender shall be obligated to make such Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (C) the Designating Lender shall remain liable for any indemnity or other payment obligation with respect to its Commitment. The making of a Revolving Loan by an SPV shall utilize the Commitment of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Revolving Loan were made by such Designating Lender. (ii) As to any Revolving Loans or portion thereof made by it, each SPV shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Revolving Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement; provided, however, that each SPV shall have granted to its Designating Lender an irrevocable power of attorney, to deliver and receive all communications and notices under this Agreement (and any related documents) and to exercise on such SPV's behalf, all of such SPV's voting rights under this Agreement. No additional Revolving Note shall be required to evidence the Revolving Loans or portion thereof made by an SPV; and the related Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Revolving Note as agent for such SPV to the extent of the Revolving Loans or portion thereof funded by such SPV. In addition, any payments for the account of any SPV shall be paid to its Designating Lender as agent for such SPV. (iii) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable. In furtherance of the foregoing, each such party hereby agrees (which agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. 60 (iv) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.7(f) or otherwise in this Agreement, any SPV may (A) at any time and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign or participate all or a portion of its interest in any Revolving Loans to the Designating Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Revolving Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Revolving Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancements to such SPV. This Section 11.7(f) may not be amended without the written consent of any Designating Lender affected thereby. 11.8. Foreign Lenders. Each Lender that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or after accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (c) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable law that the Borrowers make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any governmental authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including attorney fees and expenses) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of Lenders under this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 11.9. Applicable Law. This Agreement, and the duties, rights, powers and remedies of the parties to this Agreement, shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of Washington. 11.10. Binding Effect and Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties to this Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits (which are hereby incorporated in this Agreement) constitute the entire agreement among the parties on the subject matter of this Agreement and the Exhibits. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW. 61 11.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts or duplicate originals, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 11.12. Survival of Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive any investigation and the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations remain to be performed or paid or the Lenders have any obligation to advance sums under this Agreement. 11.13. Modification. Any term of this Agreement or of the Revolving Notes may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement or of the Revolving Notes may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Borrowers and the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver or other action shall, without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders or the holders of all of the Revolving Notes at the time outstanding, (a) extend the maturity or reduce the principal amount of, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest on, or reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any principal of, any Revolving Note, (b) reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of the Fees, (c) change the Aggregate Commitment or the Ratable Share of any Lender (other than any change in the Aggregate Commitment or Ratable Share resulting from the sale of a participation in or assignment of any Lender's interest in the Aggregate Commitment and Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 11.7), (d) change the percentage referred to in the definition of "Majority Lenders" contained in Section 1.1, or (e) amend this Section 11.13; and provided further, that (a) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Lender in addition to the Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender, (b) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, and (c) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Australian Lender in addition to the Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of Australian Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.13, this Agreement and the Revolving Notes may be amended or modified in the manner contemplated by Section 11.7 for the purpose of permitting any Lender to assign its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another bank or financial institution. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall be binding upon each holder of any Revolving Note at the time outstanding, each future holder of any Revolving Note and the Borrowers. 11.14. Separability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of all remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 11.15. Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 11.16. Enforcement.

Each of the Borrowers hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given pursuant to Section 11.4. Each of the Borrowers agrees that its submission to jurisdiction and its consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the Lenders. Final judgment against either of the Borrowers in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Lenders may at their option bring suit, or institute other judicial proceedings, against either of the Borrowers or any of their assets in any state or federal court of the United States or of any country or place where such Borrower, or such assets, may be found. 11.17. Termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the provisions of Agreement shall terminate when all amounts due under this Agreement and the Revolving Notes shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all other Obligations shall have been fully performed so long as the Lenders have no further obligation to make Revolving Loans or otherwise advance sums under this Agreement and the Issuing Lender has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit. 11.18.

Equal Opportunity to Draft. The Lenders and the Borrowers have participated in and had an equal opportunity to participate in the drafting of this Agreement.
