locations within the United States where all action required by Section 4.2(t)
of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement shall have been taken and completed
(giving effect to the provisions of such Section 4.2(t) as if each reference to
the "Issuer" therein is, instead, a reference to each of the Seller, FCI, FMB
and the VB Subsidiaries.
(x) Lock-Box Accounts. Except in the case of any Lock-Box Account pursuant
-----------------
to which only Collections in respect of Contracts subject to a PAC or Credit
Card Account are deposited, each of the Seller, FMB, the VB Subsidiaries, and
FCI, as applicable, has filed a standing delivery order with the United States
Postal Service authorizing each Lock-Box Bank to receive mail delivered to the
related Post Office Box. The account numbers of all Lock-Box Accounts, together
with the names, addresses, ABA numbers and names of contact persons of all the
Lock-Box Banks maintaining such Lock-Box Accounts and the related Post Office
Boxes, are specified in Exhibit "F" to the Pledge and Servicing Agreement. From
and after the Closing Date, neither FCI, FMB, nor the VB Subsidiaries shall have
any right, title and/or interest in or to any of the Lock-Box Accounts or the
Post-Office Boxes and will maintain no lock-box accounts in their own names for
the collection of Payments in respect of Contracts. Neither the Seller, FCI,
FMB, nor any of the VB Subsidiaries has any other lock-box accounts for the

assets of a similar nature. The Seller, FCI, FMB and the VB Subsidiaries have
furnished to each of the Company, the Noteholders, the Trustee and Collateral
Agent, true, correct and complete copies of each Facility Document to which any
of the Seller, FCI, FMB and the VB Subsidiaries are parties, each of which is in
full force and effect. Neither Seller, FCI, FMB, any of the VB Subsidiaries, nor
any Affiliate thereof is in default of any of its obligations thereunder in any
material respect. Upon each Purchase hereunder, the Company shall be the lawful
owner of, and have good title to, each Contract and all of the Transferred
Assets relating thereto, free and clear of any Liens (other than
the Lien of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement and any Permitted Encumbrances on
the related VOIs). All Contracts and related assets are purchased without
recourse to any of the Seller, FCI, FMB or the VB Subsidiaries except as
described in this Agreement. The Purchases by Company under this Agreement
constitute valid and true sales and transfers for consideration (and not merely
a pledge of assets for security purposes), enforceable against creditors of each
of Seller, FCI, FMB and the VB Subsidiaries, and no Contract or related
Transferred Assets shall constitute property of the Seller.
(xii) Ownership of the Company. One hundred percent (100%) of the

and of record) by Seller. Such stock is validly issued, fully paid and

capital stock from the Company.

other than any taxes or assessments, the validity of which are being contested

FMB and the VB Subsidiaries have set aside adequate reserves on their books in
accordance with GAAP and which proceedings have not given rise to any Lien.
(xiv) Solvency. Each of Seller, FCI, FMB and the VB Subsidiaries both prior
--------
to and after giving effect to each Purchase of Contracts hereunder (A) is not
"insolvent" (as such term is defined in ss.101(32)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code);
(B) is able to pay its debts as they become due; and (C) does not have
unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged or for any
business or transaction in which it is about to engage.
(xv) Reporting and Accounting Treatment. For tax and other reporting and
-----------------------------------
accounting purposes, and in their books of account and records, the Seller and
FCI will treat the Purchase of each Contract pursuant to this Agreement as a
purchase of, or absolute assignment of, the Seller's full right, title and
ownership interest in each Contract, and the Seller and FCI have not in any
other manner accounted for or treated the transactions.
(xvi) ERISA. There has been no (A) occurrence or expected occurrence of any
-----
Reportable Event with respect to any Plan of FCI, FMB, Seller or any ERISA
Affiliate, or any withdrawal from, or the termination, Reorganization or Plan
Insolvency of any Multiemployer Plan or (B) institution of proceedings or the
taking of any other action by PBGC or FCI, FMB, Seller or any ERISA Affiliates
or any such Multiemployer Plan with respect to the withdrawal from or the
termination, Reorganization or Plan Insolvency of, any such Plan.
(xvii) No Adverse Selection. No selection procedures adverse to the

Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement
as "Remarketed Contracts."

-----------------
Regime for which the constituent VOIs are comprised primarily of UDIs, the ratio
of (1) the total number of Points actually allocated to a VOI Regime pursuant to
the FairShare Plus Program at such time for the next succeeding twelve month
period, divided by (2) the total number of Points which are allocable to
-----------
occupiable space in such VOI Regime over such twelve month period does not
exceed a ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
(B) On any date of determination, for each owner of a UDI who is a member
of the FairShare Plus Program, the ratio of (1) the number of Points allocated
to such owner in a VOI Regime in return for assigning his VOI to the FairShare
Plus Program trust divided by (2) the total number of Points assigned to all UDI
owners in such VOI Regime does not exceed the percentage of such owner's
undivided interest in such VOI Regime as described in such owner's Contract.
(xix) POA Reserves. The capital reserves and maintenance fee levels of the
------------
POAs related to each VOI Regime underlying the Contracts are adequate in light
of the operating requirements of such POAs.
(xx) Separate Identity. The Company is operated as an entity separate from
-----------------
each of the Seller, FCI, the VB Subsidiaries and their respective other
Affiliates such that the representation and warranties set forth in Section
3.1(n) of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement are true and correct.
The representations and warranties of Seller, FCI, FMB and the VB

Rate).
(iv) Binding Obligation. Such Contract is the legal, valid and binding
-------------------
obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable against the Obligor in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
Debtor Relief Laws, or by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
suit at law or in equity).
(v) No Defenses. Such Contract is not subject to any right of rescission,
-----------
setoff, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of

a manner materially affecting the value or collectibility of the Contract or
subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or

--------------------------------
Contract Pool will not result in an Excess Concentration Reserve

-------------------
law (including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending and equal credit

zoning and building laws and regulations and any other laws and regulations

the Base Reports, none of the Seller, FCI, FMB or the VB Subsidiaries has
received notice of any material violation of any legal requirements applicable
to such VOI Regime; except where such noncompliance would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. The VOI Regime related to such Contract complies with all
applicable state statutes including, without limitation, condominium statutes,

authority having jurisdiction and constitutes a valid and conforming condominium

an attorney's opinion of title, the form and substance of which is of a type
acceptable for purposes of registration of sales of VOIs and which may be relied
upon by Persons subsequently owning the respective interests therein, and their
successors and assigns. The Seller has not sold, assigned, or pledged its
interest in the related VOI to any Person other than the Collateral Agent and
the Company, and the Seller's right, title and interest therein is free of any
Liens (other than the Lien of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency

substantially the form of one of the forms of Contract attached hereto as
Exhibit "Q", (as such Exhibit "Q" may be amended from time to time with the
consent of the Majority Holders in the exercise of their reasonable discretion
in connection with the Purchase of Contracts on Closing Dates originated at a
Development with respect to which Contracts have not been previously been
Granted to Collateral Agent), except for changes required by applicable law and
certain other modifications which do not, individually or in the aggregate,
affect the enforceability or collectibility of such Contract. In addition, such
Contract was originated in and is governed by the laws of the State in which the
related Development is located, and each such State is a jurisdiction as to the
law of which the Company shall have, on or before the relevant Closing Date,
delivered to the Trustee and
Noteholders an Opinion of Counsel regarding the enforceability of the form or

(xix) Reserved.
--------
(xx) Interest in Real Property. The VOI underlying such Contract is an
--------------------------
interest in real property consisting of either a Fixed Week or UDI; and in each
case such VOI has been deeded to the Nominee pursuant to the terms of one of the
Title Clearing Agreements, or has been deeded to the relevant Obligor in
accordance with the requirements of the applicable Contract or applicable law.
(xxi) Environmental Compliance. Each VOI Regime related to a Contract is
-------------------------
now, and at all times during FCI's (or any Affiliate of FCI's) ownership thereof
has been free of contamination from any substance, material or waste identified
as toxic or hazardous according to any federal; state or local law, rule,
regulation or order governing, imposing standards of conduct with respect to, or
regulating in any way the discharge, generation, removal, transportation,
storage or handling of toxic or hazardous substances, materials or waste or air
or water pollution (hereinafter referred to as "Environmental Laws"), including,
------------------
without limitation, any PCB, radioactive substance, methane, asbestos, volatile
hydrocarbons, petroleum products or wastes, industrial solvents or any other
material or substance which now or hereafter may cause or constitute a health,
safety or other environmental hazard to any person or property (any such
substance together with any substance, material or waste identified as toxic or
hazardous under any Environmental Law now in effect or hereinafter enacted shall
be referred to herein as "Contaminants"). Neither FCI nor any Affiliate of FCI
------------
has caused or suffered to occur any discharge, spill, uncontrolled loss or
seepage of any petroleum or chemical product or any Contaminant onto any
property comprising or adjoining any of the VOI Regimes, and neither FCI nor any
Affiliate of FCI nor any Obligor or Occupant of all or part of any of the VOI
Regimes is now or has been involved in operations at; any VOI Regime which could
lead to liability for FCI, the Company, any other Affiliate of FCI or any other
owner of any VOI Regime or the imposition of a lien on such VOI Regime under any
Environmental Law. No practice, procedure or policy employed by FCI (or any
Affiliate of FCI) in the case of POAs in which FCI acts as the manager, and to
the best knowledge of FCI and Seller, by the manager of the POAs, in the case
POAs managed by parties unaffiliated with FCI, violates any Environmental Law
which, if enforced, would reasonably be expected to (i) have a material adverse
effect on such POA or the ability of such POA to do business, (b) have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the POA or (c) constitute
grounds for the revocation of any license, charter, permit or registration which
is material to the conduct of the business of the POA.
Except as set forth on Schedule 5 to the Pledge and Servicing Agreement,
all property owned, managed, or controlled by FCI or any Affiliate of FCI and
located within a Development is now, and has at all times during FCI's (or any
Affiliate of FCI's) ownership, management or control thereof been free of
contamination from any Contaminants. Except as set forth on Schedule 5 to the
Pledge and Servicing Agreement, neither FCI nor any Affiliate of FCI has caused
or suffered to occur any discharge, spill, uncontrolled loss or seepage of any
Contaminants onto any property comprising or adjoining any of the Developments,
and neither FCI nor any Affiliate of FCI nor any Obligor or occupant of all or
part of any of any Development is now or has been involved in operations at any
Development which could lead to liability for FCI, the Company, any other
Affiliate of FCI or any other owner of any Development or the imposition of a
lien on such Development under any Environmental Law. None of the matters set
forth on Schedule 5 to the Pledge and Servicing Agreement will have a Material
Adverse Effect, a material adverse effect on the interests of the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders in the Collateral or an adverse effect on
the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders. Each Development, and the
present use thereof, does not violate any Environmental Law, so as to materially
adversely affect the value or use of such Development or the performance by the
POAs of their respective obligations under their applicable declarations,
articles or similar charter documents. There is no condition presently existing,
and to the best knowledge of FCI and the Seller, no event has occurred or failed
to occur concerning the Development relating to any Contaminants or compliance
with any Environmental Laws which would reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect the present use of such Development or the financial condition
or business operations of the Development or which would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(xxii) Tax Liens. All taxes applicable to such Contract and the related VOI

(2) the day on which a PAC or Credit Card Account ceased to

subject to a PAC or Credit Card Account,
but in no event later than the then next succeeding due date for
Payment under the related Contract, to remit Payments thereunder to a
Post Office Box for credit to a Lock-Box Account, or directly to a
Lock-Box Account, in each case maintained at a Lock-Box Bank pursuant
to the terms of a Lock-Box Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit "F" of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement, or
(B) has entered into a PAC or Credit Card Account, pursuant to
which a deposit account of such Obligor is made subject to a
pre-authorized debit in respect of Payments as they become due and

original Contract and the related Contract File being sold to Company on said
date, and shall have acknowledged such receipt, and its undertaking to act as
bailee for purposes of perfection of the Collateral Agent's interests in such

-------- -------
fact that any of the Contracts not required to be in its respective Contract
File pursuant to Section 3.2(v) of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement is not in
the possession of the Custodian in its respective Contract File does not
constitute a breach of this representation).
(ii) Marking Records. On or before each Closing Date, the Seller shall
---------------
have caused the portions of the computer files relating to the Contracts Granted
on such date to the Collateral Agent to be clearly and unambiguously marked to
indicate that such Contract has been conveyed on such date to the Company and

other locations within the United States where all action required by Section
4.2(t) of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement shall have been taken and completed
(giving effect to the provisions of such Section 4.2(t) as if each reference to

as is necessary to ensure that the Company maintains either a first priority

Contract and the related Collateral, in each case free and clear of any Liens
(other than the Lien under the Pledge and Servicing Agreement) and in the case
of any VOIs, any Permitted Encumbrance thereon) and respond to any inquiries

-----------
Collateral that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate

Servicing Agreement (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described
in the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Initial Closing Date if no Opinion of
Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(j) of the Pledge and
Servicing Agreement) unless the Collateral Agent shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by
the Pledge and Servicing Agreement with respect to such property will continue
to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions; provided,
however, that each of the Collateral Agent and the Servicer may remove Pledged
Contracts from such jurisdiction to the extent necessary to satisfy any
requirement of law or court order, in all cases in accordance with the
provisions of the Custodial Agreement and Section 4.1(n) of the Pledge and
Servicing Agreement.

--------------------------
(A) FCI (1) shall use its best efforts, in the case of
Developments where FCI or any subsidiary of FCI maintains primary or
substantial responsibility for management, administration or other
services of a similar nature, and (2) shall do or cause to be done all
things which it may accomplish with a reasonable amount of cost or
effort, in the case of Developments where FCI or any Subsidiary of FCI
does not maintain primary or substantial responsibility for management,
administration or other services of a similar nature, to cause each of
the POA's for each Development, to (A) maintain one or more policies of
"all-risk" property and general liability insurance with financially
sound and reputable insurers providing coverage in scope and amount
which (x) satisfies the requirements of the Declarations (or any
similar charter document) governing the POA for the maintenance of such
insurance policies, and (y) is at least consistent with the scope and
amount of such insurance coverage obtained by prudent POAs and/or
management of other similar developments in the same jurisdiction; and
(B) apply the proceeds of any such insurance policies in the manner
specified in the relevant Declarations (or any similar charter
document) governing the POA and/or any similar charter documents of
such POA (which exercise of best efforts shall include voting as a
member of the POA or as a proxy or attorney-in-fact for a member). For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the ultimate
discretion and control relating to the maintenance of any such
insurance policies is vested in the POA in accordance with the
respective Declaration (or any similar charter document) relating to
each VOI Regime.
(B) Each of FAC and FCI shall remit to the Collection Account,
the portion of any proceeds received pursuant to a condemnation of
property in any Development relating to any of the VOIs.

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

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or which could
otherwise be reasonably expected to expose Seller or FCI to a material
liability.
(xv) Facility Documents. Comply in all material respects with the terms of,
------------------
and employ the procedures outlined under this Agreement and all of the other
Facility Documents to which it is a party, and take all such action to such end
as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Company to maintain all
such Facility Documents in full force and effect.

----------------------------
Lock-Box Accounts, the Collection Account or the Reserve Account of any funds
other than Collections in respect of the Pledged Contracts (except, in the case

(provided that this covenant shall not have been breached to the extent that
--------
items other than Collections, which are not material in the aggregate, have been
mistakenly forwarded by an Obligor directly to any of FCI, FAC or any of their
respective Affiliates, or deposited into any of the Lock-Box Accounts), and to
the extent that any such funds are nevertheless deposited into any of such
Lock-Box Accounts, the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, promptly
identify any such funds to the Servicer for segregation and remittance to the
owner thereof.
(b) Negative Covenants of Seller and FCI. At any time prior to the
-----------------------------------------
Termination Date, Seller and FCI each covenants and agrees that it shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Company and the Collateral Agent and
Trustee:
(i) Sales, Liens, Etc. Against Receivables and Related Security. Except for
-----------------------------------------------------------
the transfers hereunder and the releases contemplated under Section 3.5 and 3.6
of the Pledge and Servicing Agreement, sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist, any Lien
(other than the Lien under the Pledge and Servicing Agreement) and with respect
to VOIs relating to Contracts, any Permitted Encumbrances thereon) upon or with
respect to, any Contract or any Transferred Assets, or any interests in either
thereof, or upon or with respect to any Lock-Box Account to which any
Collections are sent, or assign any right to receive income in respect thereof.
Each of FCI and Seller shall immediately notify the Company of the existence of
any Lien on any Contract or Transferred Assets, and shall defend the right,
title and interest of the Company in, to and under the Contracts and Transferred
Assets, against all claims of third parties.

otherwise modify the terms of any Contract (other than by way of a Permitted
Deferral or in accordance with Customary Practices), or permit the rescission or
cancellation of any Contract, whether for any reason relating to a negative
change in the related Obligor's creditworthiness or inability to make any
payment under the Contract or otherwise; provided, however, that the following
-------- -------
modifications may be made to a Pledged Contract from time to time: (A)
extensions which are Permitted Deferrals, (B) amendments, entered into in
accordance with Customary Practices and Credit Standards and Collections
Policies, which do not reduce the amount or extent the maturity of required
Payments, and (C) modifications in the applicability of a PAC (which will, among
other things, result in a change in the relevant Contract Rate).
(iii) Change in Business or Credit and Collection Policy. (A) Make any

change in the character of its business, or (B) make any change in the Credit

termination or change, (B) written confirmation from the Seller or FCI that
after the effectiveness of any such termination, there shall be at least one (1)
Lock-Box Account in existence and (C) prior to the Initial Closing Date of such
addition, termination or change, (1) executed copies of Lock-Box Agreements
executed by each new Lock-Box Bank, the Seller, the Company, the Servicer, the

-------- -------
may take
or allow such prohibited transactions, accumulated funding deficiencies,
payments, terminations and reportable events described in clauses (A) through
(D) above so long as such events occurring within any fiscal year of Seller or

liability of any such ERISA Affiliate (collectively, "ERISA Liabilities") in an
-----------------
amount which does not exceed $500,000.
(vii) Terminate or Reject Contracts. Without limiting anything in Section
