          SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings specified in “Standard Definitions” attached hereto as
Annex A.




          SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans.




          (a) Timeshare Loans.





(i) Effective as of the Closing Date, but subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, subsection (e) below),
the Originator hereby sells (“Sale” or “Sold”) or contributes (“Contribute” or
“Contribution”) (in each case to the extent described in subsection (e)
below) and otherwise transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Issuer, without
recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Issuer
hereby agrees to purchase or accept a contribution of (in each case to the
extent described in subsection (e) below) and otherwise acquires, all
right, title and interest of the Originator in and to the Timeshare Loans
included on the schedule delivered to the Issuer on the Closing Date (as further
described in subsection (f) below), together with the Timeshare
Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto. In
connection with the initial transfer, Originator shall transfer, or cause the
deposit, into the Lockbox Account of all amounts received by the Originator on
account of such Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and
other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral hereunder due
on and after the Initial Cut-Off Date within two (2) Business Days of the
receipt thereof.




(ii) The Originator hereby acknowledges that each sale, contribution and
conveyance to the Issuer hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without
reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Originator.



          (b) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer,
contribution, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Issuer hereby directs
the Originator and the Originator hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Securitization Custodian, all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Securitization Servicer all
related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.




          (c) Collections. The Originator shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections
in respect of the Timeshare Loans received by the Originator or any of its Affiliates on and after
the related Cut-Off Date in the Lockbox Account.




          (d) Limitation of Liability. None of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee of the
Issuer shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the
Issuer or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare
Loan. No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Issuer, the Originator or
any subsequent assignee herewith and any such liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.




          (e) Purchase Price/Capital Contribution. The price paid for Timeshare Loans, Timeshare
Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and




3









 







additional collateral which are Sold hereunder shall be the Purchase Price with respect
thereto. Such Purchase Price shall be paid by means of an immediate cash payment to the Originator
by wire transfer on the applicable conveyance date to an account designated by the Originator on or
before such conveyance date or by means of proper accounting entries being entered upon the
accounts and records of the Originator and the Issuer on the applicable conveyance date. To the
extent that the cash amount received for any Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related
Security and other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral Sold by the
Originator to the Issuer hereunder is less than the Purchase Price of such property at the time of
the applicable Sale, the shortfall shall be deemed to have been Contributed by the Originator to
the capital of the Issuer on the applicable conveyance date.




          (f) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. Upon the Originator’s Sale or Contribution of the
Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto
and additional collateral to the Issuer, the Originator shall deliver a schedule of Timeshare
Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and other conveyed property related thereto and
additional collateral, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule III and made a
part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede any prior schedules so delivered.




          SECTION 3. Intended Characterization, Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention
of the parties hereto that the transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof
shall constitute a sale and/or contribution by the Originator to the Issuer and not a loan secured
by the Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold
that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale and/or contribution, it is the intention
of the parties hereto that the Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer as of the
date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of Originator’s right, title and
interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets specified in Section 2 hereof and that with
respect to such conveyance, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law. In the event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, the amount of interest
payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an
amount which shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable
state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious rate
that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or
received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any such loan
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given
the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan
be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of
the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to
permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent
that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and
the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not
possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with
respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice
thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof.




          The characterization of the Originator as “debtor” and the Issuer as “secured




4









 







party” in any such financing statement required hereunder is solely for protective purposes
and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this
transaction be treated as a sale and/or contribution to the Issuer of such Originator’s entire
right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets.




          Each of the Originator, the Issuer and any of their Affiliates hereby agrees to make the
appropriate entries in its general accounting records and to indicate that the Timeshare Loans have
been transferred to the Issuer.




          SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans by the Issuer. The
obligations of the Issuer to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions:




          (a) All representations and warranties of Originator contained in Section 5 and in
Schedule I hereof, and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans related
thereto shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date or the Transfer Date, as applicable, and

Securities LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”) an officer’s certificate (the “Officer’s Certificate”) to
such effect.




          (b) On or prior to the Closing Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, the Originator shall
have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the
Securitization Custodian and the Securitization Custodian shall have delivered a receipt therefore
pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the
Securitization Servicer.




          (c) The Originator shall have delivered or shall have caused to be delivered all other
information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Issuer to be delivered by the
Originator or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as
of the Closing Date or Transfer Date, as the case may be, including all filings, recordings and/or
registrations as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer or the Securitization
Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Issuer or the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.




          (d) On or before the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Securitization Servicer, the Backup
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Securitization Indenture.




          (e) The Securitization Notes shall be issued and sold on the Closing Date, and the Issuer
shall receive the full consideration due it upon the issuance of the Securitization Notes, and the
Issuer shall have applied such consideration to the extent necessary, to pay that certain price
(the “Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price”) for each Timeshare Loan, except to the extent that the
Originator has made a Contribution to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2(e).




          (f) Each Timeshare Loan conveyed on a Transfer Date shall satisfy each of the criteria
specified in the definition of (the “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan”) and each of the

recorded and/or filed documents provided under the Escrow and Closing Agreement.




          (xxviii) Prior Secured Parties’ Documents. In accordance with the
Escrow and Closing Agreement, Originator shall deliver or cause the delivery of the
Escrow Documents for each of the respective Prior Secured Parties to the Escrow
Agent.



          (b) Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties relating to the Timeshare Loans
contained in Schedule I hereto for the benefit of the Issuer and its assignees as of the Closing
Date (with respect to each Timeshare Loan transferred on the Closing Date) and as of each Transfer
Date (with respect to each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan transferred on such Transfer Date),
as applicable.




          (c) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth
in this Section 5 shall survive the (i) transfer of each Timeshare Loan to the Issuer and (ii) the
subsequent pledge of such Timeshare Loans and rights and remedies hereunder to the Securitization
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders and shall continue so long as any
such Timeshare Loans shall remain outstanding or until such time as such Timeshare Loans are
repurchased, purchased or a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan is provided pursuant to Section 6
hereof. The Originator acknowledges that it has been advised that the Issuer intends to pledge,
transfer, assign and convey all of its right, title and interest in and to each Timeshare Loan and
its rights and remedies under this Agreement to the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Securitization Noteholders. The Originator agrees that, upon any such assignment, the
Securitization Indenture Trustee may enforce directly, without joinder of the Issuer (but subject
to any defense that Originator may have under this Agreement) all rights and remedies hereunder.




          (d) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5



12









 








which are made to Originator’s Knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and
warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a
Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee thereof, then
notwithstanding such lack of Knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the
time such representation or warranty was made (without regard to any Knowledge qualifiers), such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or warranty for purposes of the
repurchase or substitution obligations described in Sections 6(a)(i) or (ii) below.




          SECTION 6. Repurchases and Substitutions.




          (a) Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by Originator of a breach of any of its respective
representations and warranties (on the date on which such representation or warranty was made) or
covenants in Section 5 which materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the
interests of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer therein, Originator shall within
60 days of receipt of such notice, cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition
which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or covenant to be breached or
either (i) repurchase the Issuer’s or its assignee’s interest in such related defective Timeshare
Loan (the “Defective Timeshare Loan”) from the Issuer or its assignee at the Repurchase Price or
(ii) provide one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and pay the related Substitution
Shortfall Amounts, if any.




          (b) Mandatory Repurchases of Upgraded Timeshare Loans. With respect to Upgraded
Timeshare Loans, on any date, the Originator shall prepay such Upgraded Timeshare loan on behalf of
the related Obligor by depositing the related Repurchase Price in the Collection Account as set
forth in Section 4.4(d) in the Indenture.




          (c) Optional Purchases of Defaulted Timeshare Loans. With respect to any Defaulted
Timeshare Loans, on any date, the Originator shall have the option, but not the obligation, to
purchase the Defaulted Timeshare Loan at the Default Purchase Price for such Defaulted Timeshare
Loan; provided, however, that the option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan is
limited on any date to the Optional Purchase Limit. If the Originator, shall purchase Defaulted
Timeshare Loans as provided herein, the Originator shall deposit the related Default Purchase Price
in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.4(d) under the Indenture. The Originator, may
irrevocably waive the Originator’s option to purchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan by delivering or
causing to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee a Waiver Letter in the form of Exhibit G
attached to the Indenture. The holder or holders of Notes representing at least 66-2/3% of the
Adjusted Note Balance may at any time direct the Indenture Trustee, in connection with any
subsequent purchases of Defaulted Timeshare Loans by the Originator, to require the Originator to
conduct a public auction in respect of any such Defaulted Timeshare Loan. The Originator may bid
on any such Defaulted Timeshare Loan during such auction, provided that no such bid may be lower
than fifteen percent (15%) of the original acquisition price paid for the Timeshare Property by the
Obligor under such Defaulted Timeshare Loan. Publication of notice of such auction in a newspaper
published daily in Dallas, Texas, shall be sufficient notice of such auction.




          (d) Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. The Issuer

13









 








hereby directs and Originator hereby agrees to remit or cause to be remitted all amounts in
respect of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts payable during the related Due
Period in immediately available funds to the Securitization Indenture Trustee to be deposited in
the Collection Account on the related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture. In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is substituted pursuant to Sections 6(a)
or (b) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of
Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all
substitutions made on such Transfer Date.




          (e) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Issuer hereby directs and Originator hereby
agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased, purchased or substituted, to
provide the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with an electronic supplement to Schedule III
hereto and the Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal and/or substitution of such
Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this
Agreement.




          (f) Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. On the related Transfer Date, the Issuer
hereby directs and Originator hereby agrees to deliver or to cause the delivery of the Timeshare
Loan Files of the related Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the Securitization Indenture
Trustee or to the Custodian, at the direction of the Securitization Indenture Trustee, on the
related Transfer Date in accordance with the provisions of the Securitization Indenture. As of
such related Transfer Date, Originator does hereby transfer, assign, sell, contribute and grant to
the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of
Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan
conveyed to the Issuer on such Transfer Date, (ii) the Receivables in respect of the Qualified
Substitute Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan
Documents (excluding any rights as developer or declarant under the Timeshare Declaration, the
Timeshare Program Consumer Documents or the Timeshare Program Governing Documents), (iv) all
Related Security in respect of such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans, and (v) all income,
payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing. Upon such sale
and/or contribution, the ownership of each Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan and all collections
allocable to principal and interest thereon since the related Cut-Off Date and all other property
interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 6(f) shall immediately vest
in the Issuer, its successors and assigns. Originator shall not take any action inconsistent with
such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for any
purpose whatsoever other than consolidated financial and federal and state income tax reporting.
Originator agrees that such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be subject to the provisions
of this Agreement.




          (g) Officer’s Certificate. Originator shall, on each related Transfer Date, certify in
writing to the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets
all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the
Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the
Securitization Custodian, and (ii) the timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute
Timeshare Loads have been delivered to the Securitization Servicer.




          (h) Release. In connection with any repurchase, purchase or substitution of one or

14









 








more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions
contained in this Section 6, the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee shall execute and
deliver or shall cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or
assignment presented to it by Originator, in each case, without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in Originator or its designee (or to evidence the vesting in such Person of) the legal and
beneficial ownership of such released Timeshare Loans. The Issuer shall cause the Securitization
Indenture Trustee to cause the Securitization Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files
to Originator or its designee and the Securitization Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan
Servicing Files to Originator or its designee.




          (i) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of Originator
contained in Section 6(a) to cure a material breach, or to repurchase or substitute related
Defective Timeshare Loans and the obligation of Originator to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 shall
constitute the sole remedies available to the Issuer or its subsequent assignees for the breaches
of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 5, and such remedies are not
intended to and do not constitute “credit recourse” to Originator.




          SECTION 7. Additional Covenants of the Originator.




          (a) Originator hereby covenants and agrees with the Issuer as follows:





          (i) It shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders
applicable to it and its business and properties except where the failure to comply
will not have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it
is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the
validity or enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.




          (ii) It shall preserve and maintain for itself its existence (corporate or
otherwise), rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its
organization and except where the failure to so preserve and maintain will not have
a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or
under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity of
enforceability of the Timeshare Loans.




          (iii) On or prior to the Closing Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, it
shall indicate in its and any applicable Affiliate’s computer files and other
records that each Timeshare Loan has been sold to the Issuer.




          (iv) It shall respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Timeshare
Loan by stating that such Timeshare Loan has been sold to the Issuer and that the
Issuer is the owner of such Timeshare Loan.




          (v) On or prior to the Closing Date, it shall file, at its expense, financing
statements in favor of the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf
of the Securitization Noteholders, with respect to the Timeshare Loans, in the form

15








 






stamped copies of such financing statements to the Issuer and the
Securitization Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Noteholders.




          (vi) It agrees from time to time, at its expense, promptly to execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that
may be necessary, or that the Issuer or the Securitization Indenture Trustee may
reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale or
contribution of the Timeshare Loans, or to enable the Issuer or the Securitization
Indenture Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under
any Timeshare Loan including, but not limited to, powers of attorney, UCC financing
statements and assignments of mortgage.




          (vii) Any change in the legal name of the Originator and any use by it of any
tradename, fictitious name, assumed name or “doing business as” name occurring after
the Closing Date shall be promptly disclosed to the Issuer and the Securitization
Indenture Trustee in writing.




          (viii) Upon the discovery or receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of
Originator of a breach of any of its representations or warranties and covenants
contained herein, Originator shall promptly disclose to the Issuer and the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, in reasonable detail, the nature of such breach.




          (ix) In the event that Originator shall receive any payments in respect of a
Timeshare Loan after the Closing Date or Transfer Date, as applicable (including any
insurance proceeds that are not payable to the related Obligor), it shall, within
two (2) Business Days of receipt, transfer or cause to be transferred, such payments
to the Lockbox Account.




          (x) Originator will keep its principal place of business and chief executive
office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the Timeshare Loans at
the address of Originator listed herein.




          (xi) In the event that the Originator or the Issuer or any assignee of the
Issuer should receive actual notice of any transfer taxes arising out of the
transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Timeshare Loan from the Originator to the
Issuer, on written demand by the Issuer, or upon the Originator otherwise being
given notice thereof, Originator shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold the
Issuer, and any subsequent assignee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and
against any and all such transfer taxes.




          (xii) The Originator authorizes the Issuer and the Securitization Indenture
Trustee to file continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the
Timeshare Loans and all payments made with regard to the related Timeshare Loans
without the signature of the Originator where permitted by law. A photocopy or
other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement
where permitted by law. The Issuer confirms that it is not its present intention to
file a photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement as a



16









 






financing statement, but reserves the right to do so if, in its good faith
determination, there is at such time no reasonable alternative remaining to it.




          (xiii) The Originator shall not prepare any financial statements or other
statements (including any tax filings) which shall account for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than as the sale of, or a capital
contribution of, the Timeshare Loans, Timeshare Properties, Related Security and
other conveyed property related thereto and additional collateral by the Originator
to the Issuer.



          SECTION 8. Indemnification.




          (a) Originator hereby agrees to indemnify the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee,
the Securitization Noteholders and the Initial Purchaser (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”)
against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, (including reasonable legal fees and related
costs) that the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders or the
Initial Purchaser may sustain directly related to any breach of the representations and warranties
and covenants of Originator under Section 5 hereof (the “Indemnified Amounts”) excluding, however
(i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of such Indemnified Party; (ii) any recourse for any uncollectible Timeshare Loan not
related to a breach of representation or warranty; (iii) recourse to Originator for a related
Defective Timeshare Loan so long as the same is cured, substituted or repurchased pursuant to
Section 6 hereof; or (iv) income or similar taxes by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a
result of this Agreement or the transfer of the Timeshare Loans. The parties hereto shall (A)
promptly notify the other parties hereto, the Securitization Indenture Trustee if a claim is made
by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Timeshare Loans, and relating to (1) the
failure by Originator to perform its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (2) a
breach of Originator’s representations, covenants or warranties contained in this Agreement, (B)
assume (with the consent of the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization
Noteholders or the Initial Purchaser, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
legal counsel fees and (C) promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment, order or decree which
may be entered against it or the Issuer, the Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization
Noteholders or the Initial Purchaser in respect of such claim. If Originator shall have made any
indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 8 and the recipient thereafter collects from another
Person any amount relating to the matters covered by the foregoing indemnity, the recipient shall
promptly repay such amount to Originator.




          (b) The obligations of Originator under this Section 8 to indemnify the Issuer, the
Securitization Indenture Trustee, the Securitization Noteholders and the Initial Purchaser shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and continue until the Notes are paid in full or
otherwise released or discharged.




          SECTION 9. No Proceedings. The Originator hereby agrees that it will not, directly or
indirectly, institute, or cause to be instituted, or join any Person in instituting, against the
Issuer or any Association, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar



17









 








law so long as there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the latest maturing
Securitization Notes issued by the Issuer.




          SECTION 10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder

Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Timeshare Loans and the related
property as described in Section 2 hereof.
