(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Custodial Agreement to the contrary, the Custodian shall not give notice of a Material Exception because any document included in a Timeshare Loan File is in a language other than English, provided that (i) the Servicer has furnished to the Custodian a certified English translation of such document (the “Certified Translated Document”) reasonably satisfactory to the Custodian and (ii) provided a certification to the Custodian (which may be by electronic means), and a copy of such certification to the Buyer, that such Certified Translated Document is identical to the foreign language template document (the “Foreign Language Template”) attached to the Certified Translated Document.  The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon such Certified Translated Document and related Foreign Language Template in determining whether any Material Exception exists with respect to the related Timeshare Loan File.  Based upon the related Certified Translated Document, the Custodian shall review a document in a language other than English in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Custodial Agreement.
To assist in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2(b), the Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Custodial Agreement, maintain a current listing in a chart format that identifies 

15








the Certified Translated Documents and related Foreign Language Templates, and periodically provide the Custodian and the Buyer with such chart whenever it is revised.  At such time as a document in a language other than English is delivered to the Custodian, the Servicer shall identify by reference to such chart to which Foreign Language Template such document corresponds.
Section 1.3.    Release of Timeshare Loans and Related Custodial Documents.
(a)    Unless the Custodian receives written notice from the Buyer that there has been a Servicer Event of Default which has not been cured as specified in the Sale Agreement, the Servicer may, from time to time and pursuant to a Request, request the Custodian to Deliver related Tangible Timeshare Loan Files to the Servicer due to payment in full on any Timeshare Loan, due to servicing requirements as described in Section 1.2(a), or for any other reason authorized under the Sale Agreement; provided, that upon Custodian’s receipt from the Buyer of any written notice, whether or not there has been a Servicer Event of Default, that the Servicer may no longer provide such instructions on the Buyer’s behalf, the Custodian shall no longer take any instructions by the Servicer and shall only take instructions by the Buyer as set forth in Section 1.3(b).  Upon receipt of such notice from the Buyer, the Custodian shall, within three (3) Business Days of a Request by the Servicer, but only upon written approval by the Buyer, release or cause to be released such Timeshare Loans and the related Tangible Timeshare Loan Files as set forth in the Request to the Servicer without recourse to the Custodian.
(b)    The Buyer may request the Custodian in writing to Deliver any Timeshare Loan Files to the Seller, or the Servicer upon the satisfaction by the Seller of the requirements set forth in the Sale Agreement relating to repurchased or substituted Timeshare Loans, or for any other reason authorized under the Sale Agreement.  Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall, within three (3) Business Days of such receipt, Deliver the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Seller (or an assignee thereof) as directed by the Buyer, without recourse to the Custodian.

16

All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained by banks or other institutions that act as custodians in similar transactions.

(g)    Upon written request from the Buyer, the Custodian shall provide copies of Timeshare Loan Files to the Buyer at the Servicer’s expense (as such expenses are calculated pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof).

The reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses related to such Exporting of the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files shall be the obligation of the Initial Servicer.  For purposes of this paragraph: 

18








(i) “Export” with respect to a Timeshare Loan File, shall mean the Custodian has decommissioned the related Electronic Timeshare Loan File and the Authoritative Copies of the related documents contained therein are printed out pursuant to a “Paper Out”TM within the meaning specified in eOriginal’s System and (ii) “Approved Exported Timeshare Loan File” shall mean an Electronic Timeshare Loan File which has been Exported by the Custodian such that the related Electronic Timeshare Loan File is destroyed and the Authoritative Copies of the related documents contained therein are printed out and held by the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement, together with the document history report prepared by eOriginal related to such Timeshare Loan File.
Section 2.3.    Merger or Consolidation of Custodian.  Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall automatically without further action or notice to any person, be the successor of Custodian hereunder, and notice thereof shall be provided by the Custodian to the Servicer, the Buyer and the Seller.
Section 2.4.    Limitation of Liability.  The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Custodial Agreement.  The Custodian shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Custodial Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this Custodial Agreement executed by the parties hereto or their successors and assigns.  Except as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, the Custodian neither shall assign, transfer, pledge or grant a security interest in any of its rights, obligations, benefits or privileges hereunder, nor shall the Custodian delegate or appoint any other Person to perform or carry out any of its duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Custodial Agreement.  Except as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, any act or instrument purporting to effect any such assignment, transfer, pledge, grant, delegation or appointment shall be void.  Subject to Section 2.4(h) hereof, no representations, warranties, covenants (other than those expressly made by the Custodian in this Custodial Agreement) or obligations of Custodian shall be implied with respect to this Custodial Agreement or the Custodian’s services hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian:
(a)    shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed in writing by the parties hereto and shall use the same degree of care and skill as is reasonably expected of prudent financial institutions acting in comparable capacities and with due care in performance of its duties hereunder;
(b)    shall be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities (except as expressly set forth herein) as to the validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of any certificates or Timeshare Loans represented thereby, and shall not be required to and shall not make any representations as to the validity, value, perfectibility or genuineness of any Timeshare Loans;
(c)    shall not be required to expend or risk its funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, if the Custodian believes that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

19








(d)    may rely on and shall be protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram, facsimile or other document, or any security, delivered to it and which in good faith it believes to be genuine and which has been signed by the proper party or parties.  The Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be protected in acting upon the written instructions of any (i) Responsible Officer of the Buyer, (ii) designated officer of the Servicer having such authority identified on Exhibit C attached hereto or (iii) such other persons as may be designated in writing by the Buyer to the Custodian from time to time;
(e)    may consult with the Custodian’s in-house counsel or any other counsel nationally recognized in the area of commercial transactions and reasonably acceptable to the Custodian with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Custodial Agreement, and, provided the Custodian exercises reasonable judgment, the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Custodian in reasonable reliance, in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(f)    shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct, negligent performance or omission, or bad faith;
(g)    undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Custodial Agreement.  Neither the Custodian nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or expenses arising out of the services performed under this Custodial Agreement other than damages which result from the negligence or willful misconduct of it or them.  In no event will the Custodian or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents be liable for any consequential, indirect, punitive or special damages;
(h)    may execute any of the rights, privileges or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or attorneys, provided, however, that the execution of such rights, privileges or powers by any such agents or attorneys shall not diminish, or relieve the Custodian for, responsibility therefor to the same degree as if the Custodian itself had executed such rights, privileges or powers;
(i)    shall have no responsibility or duty with respect to any Timeshare Loan Files while not in its possession or under its control;
(j)    shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Custodial Agreement, other than for the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses hereunder;
(k)    shall have no duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Timeshare Loan File is or may be held by the Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its ownership of property or conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to qualify could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Custodian to perform its duties hereunder;

20








(l)    shall not be imputed with any knowledge of, or information possessed by, the Buyer, and vice versa;
(m)    in the event that (i) any of the parties to this Custodial Agreement shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Timeshare Loan File or any document included within a Timeshare Loan File or (ii) a third party, shall institute any court proceeding by which any Timeshare Loan File or a document included within a Timeshare Loan File shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Custodial Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Custodial Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law and applicable judicial orders, if any, continue to hold and maintain all the Timeshare Loan Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Custodian shall dispose of such Timeshare Loan File or any document included within such Timeshare Loan File as directed in writing by the Buyer, which shall give a direction consistent with such court determination. Expenses and fees (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) of the Custodian incurred as result of such proceedings shall be paid by the Servicer out of the Receivables; 
(n)    shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics, governmental or regulatory actions, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures or earthquakes (each a “Force Majeure Event”), including the inability of the Custodian to access the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files due to any Force Majeure Event;
(o)    shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Buyer, the Servicer, eOriginal, DocuSign or any other Person.  The parties acknowledge and agree that in making statements herein regarding “control” of the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files, the Custodian is relying on (and shall be entitled to rely upon) representations and covenants from eOriginal regarding the eOriginal System and the various criteria constituting “control”; 
(p)    may act in reliance upon any written communication of the Buyer concerning the Delivery, possession or control of the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement; and
(q)    shall not be responsible for any Electronic Timeshare Loan Files in the Warehouse Vault Partition, or for any obligations related thereto (including, but not limited to, reporting related to such Electronic Collateral), under this Agreement after its access to the Warehouse Vault Partition is terminated.
The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian and the termination or assignment of this Custodial Agreement.

21

The Initial Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian as a result of any legal proceedings or in defending against any action or claim relating to the performance of its duties hereunder, unless such liabilities, damages, losses, fees, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses shall arise from the Custodian’s negligence or willful misconduct.  The Custodian’s rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian and the termination or assignment of this Custodial Agreement.  Such indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, payments, costs or expenses relating to or arising out of (i) the conduct by Seller or any affiliate thereof and any Obligor of any transaction by electronic means, (ii) the creation, generation, communication or transfer of Electronic Timeshare Loan Files by electronic means, (iii) the utilization by Seller or any affiliate thereof of the web portal, eOriginal System or software of eOriginal, (iv) the failure of the eOriginal System to create and maintain a single Authoritative Copy of any document in any Electronic Timeshare Loan File or to otherwise conform with the eOriginal System description, except due to a modification made by or at the direction of the Custodian not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or not at the direction of the Buyer, or (v) the negligence, or fraudulent or willful misconduct, of eOriginal in connection with the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files.
In the event that the Custodian fails to produce an Obligor Note or any document related to the Timeshare Loan File that was in its possession pursuant to this Custodial Agreement within two (2) Business Days after a written request therefor by the Servicer or the Buyer, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, provided that (i) the Custodian previously delivered to the Buyer (with a copy to the Seller and the Servicer) a Trust Receipt, an Inventory Report and a Material Exception Report which did not list the failure of a Timeshare Loan File to include such document as a Material Exception; (ii) such document is not outstanding pursuant to a Request; and (iii) such document was held by the Custodian on behalf of the Buyer, as applicable (a “Custodial Delivery Failure”), then the Custodian shall (a) with respect to any missing Obligor Note, promptly deliver to the Buyer, the Seller and the Servicer, upon request, a Lost Note Affidavit and (b) with respect to any missing document related to a Timeshare Loan, including, but not limited to a missing Obligor Note, indemnify the Buyer, the Seller and the Servicer in accordance with the succeeding paragraph of this Section 2.5.  In the event that such original Obligor Note is subsequently found and delivered to the related party, such party shall promptly return the Lost Note Affidavit to the Custodian.
The Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer, the Seller and the Servicer and their respective designees harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to arising out of a Custodial Delivery Failure or a material breach by the Custodian in its performance of its duties hereunder which was the result of the Custodian’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian or its officers, directors, employees and other agents be held liable for any special, direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted 

22








to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Initial Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer, the Seller, the Custodian and their respective designees harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to arising out of (i) the conduct by Seller or any affiliate thereof and any Obligor of any transaction by electronic means, (ii) the creation, generation, communication or transfer of Electronic Timeshare Loan Files by electronic means, (iii) the utilization by Seller or any affiliate thereof of the web portal, eOriginal System or software of eOriginal, (iv) the failure of the eOriginal System to create and maintain a single Authoritative Copy of any document in any Electronic Timeshare Loan File or to otherwise conform with the eOriginal System description, except due to a modification made by or at the direction of the Custodian not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or not at the direction of the Buyer, or (v) the negligence, or fraudulent or willful misconduct, of eOriginal or the breach of any obligation of eOriginal in connection with the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files.
Section 2.6.    Resignation by the Custodian; Successor Custodian.
(a)    The Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Custodial Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Servicer, the Buyer and the Seller. Such resignation shall not be effective until a successor custodian acceptable to the Buyer shall have assumed the duties of Custodian hereunder. The Custodian shall maintain physical possession of the Tangible Timeshare Loan Files and control of the Electronic Timeshare Loan Files until the due appointment of a successor custodian and the orderly transfer of the Timeshare Loan Files to such successor custodian.  Promptly after receipt of notice of the Custodian’s resignation, the Servicer, with the written consent of the Buyer (or, so long as a Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Buyer), shall appoint, by written instrument, a successor custodian. If the Servicer fails to appoint a successor within thirty (30) days of such notice of resignation, the Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor custodian.
(b)    The Buyer may at any time terminate the obligations of the Custodian under this Custodial Agreement immediately for a material breach of its obligations hereunder or upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Custodian. The Servicer shall not terminate obligations of the Custodian under this Custodial Agreement without the prior written consent of the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to appoint a successor within thirty (30) days of such notice of termination, the Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor custodian. All costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Custodian relating to any such petition to appoint a successor custodian shall be paid by the Buyer.
(c)    Upon its termination or resignation, the Custodian will take such actions as the Buyer may direct in a commercially reasonable manner and including any such actions as are necessary to best facilitate the transition of the performance of the Custodian’s activities to the successor Custodian. The Custodian, at the expense of the Buyer, shall provide reasonable assistance to the successor custodian to assume and perform the duties of the Custodian hereunder (including, without 

23








limitation, the prompt delivery of possession and/or control of all Timeshare Loan Files to the successor custodian or such other directions by the Buyer at such time).
