Vacation Ownership Securitization Program

In connection with our vacation ownership business, Fairfield, Trendwest and their respective subsidiaries provide financing to purchasers of vacation ownership interests. A significant portion of the funding for such financing is provided through the sale of the vacation ownership loans and related assets into a securitization program.

Under the securitization program, each of our consumer financing subsidiary, an affiliate of Fairfield Resorts, Inc. to which Fairfield assigns loans that it originates, and Trendwest Resorts, each of which is referred to as a Seller and together as the Sellers, has entered into a loan purchase agreement with Sierra Deposit Company, LLC, a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of our consumer financing subsidiary.

Generally, loans purchased from the Sellers by Sierra Deposit Company are sold into a facility funded by the issuance of variable funding notes to a group of commercial paper conduits. From time to time, Sierra Deposit Company creates a new special purpose entity to issue a new series of term notes. The proceeds of the term notes are used, indirectly, to pay amounts owing on the variable funding notes, resulting in the release of loans which are then sold to the new special purpose entity and used to secure and pay the new series of term notes.

With respect to each outstanding series of notes, our consumer financing subsidiary acts as the servicer of the loans.

With respect to each outstanding series of notes, Cendant Corporation has provided a performance guarantee guarantying the performance by the Sellers of their obligations under the loan purchase agreements and the servicer’s performance under the note indentures. Effective as of the date of our separation from Cendant, the performance guarantee provided by Cendant with respect to the variable funding notes will be replaced by a performance guarantee provided by Wyndham Worldwide. For each outstanding series of term notes, Wyndham Worldwide has provided to the trustee an additional performance guarantee, and the trustee will be instructed to look first to the performance guarantee provided by Wyndham Worldwide before seeking to enforce the performance guarantee provided by Cendant.

Currently, there are five outstanding series of notes payable from vacation ownership loans sold by Sierra Deposit Company. As of March 31, 2006, approximately $1,167 million was outstanding under these programs, which was secured by $1,556 million in assets.

 

    Series 2002-1, which are the variable funding notes issued to a group of commercial paper conduits. Currently, the facility limit for this series is $800 million. The liquidity facility related to this series is subject to annual termination and, if not renewed, will result in an amortization of the variable funding notes and termination of the facility. The documents governing the Series 2002-1 also describe numerous other events, many tied to the performance of the loans, that may result in the occurrence of an amortization of the notes or an event of default and termination of the facility.

 

    Series 2003-1, which were issued in March 2003 in four classes aggregating $302.6 million in initial principal amount.

 

    Series 2003-2, which were issued in December 2003 in four classes aggregating $375 million in initial principal amount.

 

    Series 2004-1, which were issued in May 2004 as a single class in the initial principal amount of $336 million. The payment of principal and interest on the Series 2004-1 notes is insured under the terms of a financial guaranty insurance policy.

 

    Series 2005-1, which were issued in August 2005 as a single class in initial principal amount of $525 million. The payment of principal and interest on the Series 2005-1 notes is insured under the terms of a financial guaranty insurance policy.

On July 11, 2006, we closed an additional series of notes payable from vacation ownership loans as a single class in the initial principal amount of $550 million. The payment of principal and interest on these notes is insured under the terms of a financial guaranty insurance policy. Approximately $500 million of the proceeds from these notes was used to reduce the principal and interest outstanding under the Series 2002-1 variable funding notes referenced above and the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
