No Beneficiary shall have any right of partition as to any real or personal property held in Trust hereunder except for the right of each Member to have his respective Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) reconveyed (a) upon termination of the Trust, if applicable, and (b) with respect to each Member who subjected his Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) to this Trust pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, upon any termination of his Membership in the Plan in accordance with the terms of his Assignment Agreement. The death of a Beneficiary shall not terminate this Trust nor in any manner affect the powers of the Trustee.

ARTICLE IV
ASSETS
4.01Trust Properties.The assets of the Trust shall be the Trust Properties. Neither the OA Fees held in escrow pursuant to Article X, the Program Fees nor the reservation system owned by the Plan Manager shall be part of the Trust Properties.
4.02Allocation of Points. For administrative convenience in operation of the Plan, the Plan Manager, on behalf of the Trustee, has established or will establish Point values for use of the Trust Properties. The Points assigned to a Property Interest or the Use Rights therein are based on the location, size, season, capacity, furnishings, demand, cost to acquire, build and maintain and other features of the Accommodation or Accommodations available as a part of such Property Interest, as well as other factors that may affect the experience of occupancy of such Accommodation or Accommodations (such as, holidays, ski seasons and local events). When a Property Interest or the Use Rights therein is/are subjected to this Trust Agreement, it will be allocated Points by the Plan Manager, on behalf of the Trustee. The total number of Points required to reserve all Accommodations available in respect of all of the Property Interests (or Use Rights therein) that have been subjected to this Trust Agreement during all use days shall always equal or exceed the total number of Points allocated to all of the Members.
4.03Adjustment of Point Allocation. The ownership interest of a Member in a Property Interest subjected to this Trust Agreement (by assignment of the Use Rights therein or otherwise) as stated in such Member’s Purchase Agreement or FairShare Vacation Ownership Assignment Agreement may not be changed. However, from time to time the Plan Manager, on behalf of the Trustee, may adjust the number of Points required to reserve an Accommodation available through a Property Interest in order to respond to actual use patterns and changes in use demand. Any increase or decrease in the total number of Points required to reserve such Accommodations shall also result in a pro-rata increase or decrease in the number of Points allocated to all Members that own the Property Interests through which such Accommodations are available (including Wyndham or such other applicable Third Party if all Property Interests in the applicable Vacation Plan which have been subjected to this Trust Agreement have not yet been sold). However, any such adjustments made by the Plan Manager, on behalf of the Trustee, shall not result in an increase or decrease in the number of the Points assigned to an Accommodation in one season of a year by more than twenty percent (20%), unless those Members entitled to cast a majority of the votes of all Members present, in person or by proxy, at an annual or special meeting of the Members of the Association held in accordance with the terms and provisions of the By-Laws of the Association vote for such increase or decrease in the number of Points assigned to such Accommodation.

5.02Withdrawal of Property Interests. The Trustee may withdraw a Property Interest or the Use Rights therein from this Trust Agreement and cancel the Points allocated to any Member owning such Property Interest by executing an appropriate withdrawal document and if necessary, recording it in the Recording Office or, if appropriate, filing it in the Filing Office, under any one of the following conditions:
(a)Default Under Purchase Agreement. If a Purchase Agreement for a Property Interest is cancelled due to default or if a mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest encumbering a Property Interest is foreclosed as a result of the Member owning such Property Interest defaulting thereunder, the Trustee, upon the direction of Wyndham or the Third Party who completed such foreclosure, shall execute the documents necessary to (i) cancel the Assignment Agreement and withdraw the Property
9
Interest/Use Rights from this Trust Agreement, where the Property Interest/Use Rights was/were subjected to this Trust Agreement after being acquired by the Member or (ii) terminate the Membership of the defaulting Member where such Member’s Property Interest/Use Rights was/were subjected to this Trust Agreement prior to being acquired by the Member. In the event of a cancellation or termination due to default, the defaulting Member (A) shall forfeit all previously paid FairShare Plus Assessments (with all OA fees not theretofore paid to the applicable OA to be forwarded to such OA), (B) shall no longer have any right to participate in the Plan and (C) shall no longer be a Member of the Plan or of the Association.
(b)Changed Circumstances. If the Trustee, in its discretion, has determined that a Property Interest (or Use Rights therein) should be withdrawn due to circumstances that render the Accommodation(s) applicable to such Property Interest unsuitable for continued use in the Plan, the Trustee shall have the authority to cause such Property Interest/Use Rights to be withdrawn from this Trust Agreement and to cause all Points attributable to the withdrawn Property Interest/Use Rights to be canceled and the Members owning such withdrawn Property Interest/Use Rights shall no longer have the right to participate in the Plan and shall no longer be Members of the Association. The Trustee shall execute any and all documents necessary to reconvey the Use Rights and/or transfer title to the withdrawn Property Interest to the appropriate Member or Wyndham, if necessary.
(c)Destruction, Condemnation or Temporary Loss of Use. If the Use Rights in one or more Property Interests are, in the Trustee’s discretion, (i) permanently no longer suitable for use in the Plan as the result of one or more Accommodations available through that or those Property Interests having been condemned or such Accommodations are destroyed or damaged and the OA, pursuant to the Governing Instruments establishing said Property Interests, elects not to rebuild or restore the affected Accommodations, then (A) the Trustee shall withdraw the applicable Property Interest(s)/Use Rights from this Trust Agreement (and if applicable, reconvey said Property Interests(s)/Use Rights to the corresponding Members) and cancel, by written notice to such Members, the Points attributable to such Property Interest(s)/Use Rights; (B) such Members shall no longer have any right to participate in the Plan and shall no longer be Members in the Association; (C) the Trustee shall cause any surplus then held in the Escrow Account which represents amounts collected from such Members to be returned to them, but such Members shall have no right to any Program Fees that they have previously paid; and (D) if the Trustee receives any funds on account of such condemnation or damage/destruction, the Trustee shall, to the extent such funds exceed the Trustee’s costs in achieving the withdrawal of the Property Interest(s)/Use Rights from the Plan and cancellation of the Membership(s), distribute the excess to such Members on a pro-rata basis; or (ii) temporarily not suitable for use in the Plan as a result of one or more Accommodations available through that or those Property Interests having been rendered unoccupiable as a result of damage or destruction where the OA, pursuant to the Governing Instruments establishing said Property Interests, has elected to re-build, restore or repair, as applicable, the affected Accommodations or as a result of the OA undertaking a significant renovation of the Accommodations which results in such
10
Accommodations not being available for use by all of the owners of Property Interests in such affected Accommodations and in any such case, the applicable OA is not providing alternative Accommodations to the owners of Property Interests therein during the period of unavailability, then the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the right to occupy substitute Accommodations in the area where the affected Accommodations are located which substitute Accommodations may become Trust Properties on either a temporary or permanent basis and shall have Annual Lodging Point Values equal to or greater than the Annual Lodging Point Values of the affected Accommodations.
(d)Termination or Partition. If a Vacation Plan is terminated or one or more Property Interests in a Vacation Plan are partitioned pursuant to the Governing Instruments establishing said Vacation Plan, the Points in the Plan attributable to the Property Interests in such terminated Vacation Plan or the Property Interests (or Use Rights therein) affected by such partition shall be removed from the Plan and the Members owning such terminated or partitioned Property Interests shall no longer have the right to participate in the Plan and shall no longer be Members of the Association.
(e)Expiration. If a Property Interest which is a leasehold interest or “right to use” interest expires, the Members owning Points associated with such expired Property Interests shall have no further right to participate in the Plan and shall no longer be Members of the Association and the Points associated with such expired Property Interests shall be cancelled.
(f)Wyndham Withdrawal. Wyndham may withdraw Accommodations applicable to Property Interests subjected by Wyndham to this Trust Agreement if no such Property Interests have been sold or Wyndham has reacquired all previously sold Property Interests.
5.03Addition of Accommodations.Wyndham, in its capacity as the developer of resort communities and Vacation Plans, may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) cause the Property Interests in additional Accommodations, interests or rights in other real or personal property and/or rights in or to services to be transferred or otherwise made available to the Members through the Plan and (b) as noted in Section 3.04 above, cause such resort communities and Vacation Plans to enter into affiliation arrangements with the intention that either (i) the purchaser of a Property Interest therein would have the right, on a voluntary basis, to assign the Use Rights therein to the Trust after such purchase or (ii) the Property Interests therein would have been previously subjected to this Trust Agreement and therefore, the purchaser thereof would automatically become a Member, all of such actions to occur without the consent of any of the other Members or the Trustee; but under no circumstances shall Wyndham be required to make any such transfers. The addition to the Plan of Property Interests (or the Use Rights therein) in Accommodations, interests or rights in other real and personal property and/or rights in or to services may result in the addition of new Members who will compete with existing Members in making reservations for the use of the Trust Properties, and may also result in an increase in the Program Fee.
11
5.04Substitutions. Wyndham, in its capacity as the developer of resort communities and Vacation Plans, and the Trustee may, from time to time, in their sole and absolute discretion, substitute Property Interests in Vacation Units, rights or interests in other real or personal property and/or rights in or to other services for Property Interests in Accommodations, rights or interests in real or personal property available through the Plan and/or rights in or to services available through the Plan, so long as the Property Interests in the Accommodations, the rights or interests in other real or personal property and/or the rights in or to services which are being withdrawn are not owned by any Member (other than Wyndham). The determination of whether to substitute will be based on the use by the Members of the Accommodations, the other real or personal property and/or the services to be withdrawn, the availability of similar property in the same general vicinity or of the same general quality or utility as the property being withdrawn, the availability of services substantially the same or better than the services being withdrawn, the age of the Accommodations, the other real or personal property and/or the services being withdrawn, the expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Accommodations, the other real or personal property and/or services being withdrawn and such other factors as may be determined by Wyndham and/or the Trustee from time to time. The Members have no right to consent to the substitution of Property Interests in other Vacation Units, interests in other real or personal property and/or rights in or to other services for Property Interests relating to existing Accommodations, interests in real or personal property then available through the Plan and/or rights in or to existing services. The replacement Trust Properties shall provide Members with an opportunity to enjoy a substantially similar experience as was available with the replaced Trust Properties. In determining whether the replacement Trust Properties will provide a substantially similar experience, all relevant factors will be considered, including, but not limited to, some or all of the following: size, capacity, furnishings, maintenance, location (geographic, topographic, and scenic), demand and availability for Member use, quality and availability of a service, and recreational capabilities.
ARTICLE VI
DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE TRUSTEE
OF THE TRUSTEE
6.01Duties and Obligations. The Trustee shall, without limiting the other duties and obligations set forth in other provisions of this Trust Agreement, provide the following services with respect to the Trust:
(a)Ownership. The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust, accept and hold ownership of the Trust Properties for the beneficial use of each Member. In the event ownership to any Property Interest is transferred to the Trust, said Property Interest shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall have no equitable rights in any of the Property Interests or Use Rights subjected to this Trust Agreement nor any right to the income or profits to be derived from the sale of any Property Interests owned by the Trust. The Trustee will not, without the consent of Wyndham, accept on behalf of the Trust, Property Interests or Use Rights from any person or entity other than Wyndham.
12
(b)Liens. The Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to ascertain that at the time a Property Interest or the Use Rights therein is/are subjected to this Trust Agreement that either (i) no liens affect such Property Interest which would prevent the use by the Members of the Accommodation(s) available in respect of that Property Interest, or (ii) in the case there is such a lien, (A) the holder of any lien has agreed that such lien is subordinated to the rights of a Member that satisfies the terms of his Purchase Agreement, mortgage, deed of trust and/or other security instrument, and (B) the holder of any blanket lien has entered into a non-disturbance instrument pursuant to which such holder agrees that a Member that satisfies the terms of his Purchase Agreement, mortgage, deed of trust and/or other security agreement shall be entitled to exercise the Use Rights attributable to such Property Interest pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement; provided, however, the Trustee may, on behalf of the Trust, accept Property Interests or the Use Rights therein that do not satisfy such conditions if, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, the failure to satisfy such conditions with respect to such Property Interests does not materially adversely affect the total availability of Accommodations to the Members.
(c)Recording of Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to record or cause to be recorded in the Recording Office and to file or cause to be filed, as appropriate, in any Filing Office a copy of this Trust Agreement and the appropriate amendments or addendums thereto and shall take such steps as are required by law to assure that notice of the terms and provisions of this Trust Agreement, as amended from time to time, is given in all jurisdictions where any Trust Properties held by the Trust are located and where the giving of such notice is necessary to protect the interests of the Beneficiaries in such Trust Properties.
(d)Accounting. The Trustee shall cause the Plan Manager to maintain the information necessary to enable reports covering the following information to be prepared from time to time: (1) the inventory of the Trust Properties and the cumulative number of Points represented by the Trust Properties; (2) the cumulative number of Points allocated to Property Interests/Use Rights; and (3) all financial transactions, if any, of the Trust. The Trustee has the right (but not the obligation) to employ, from time to time, at the expense of the Association, an independent accounting firm for such purposes related to the administration or operation of the Plan (including the administration and operation of the Trust and the Association) as the Trustee deems appropriate.
(e)Property Maintenance. Trustee shall provide for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of all Accommodations, including, without limitation all personal property located in the Accommodations, available in respect of all Property Interests (or the Use Rights therein) that have been subjected to this Trust Agreement from time to time, if the applicable OA, if any, is not obligated to provide such maintenance, repair and replacement.

(h)Insurance. The Trustee shall cause to be maintained adequate insurance on the Trust Properties against fire and other unavoidable casualties if the applicable OA, if any, is not obligated to provide such insurance. The Trustee shall hold any insurance proceeds received from such insurance pending the reconstruction of an Accommodation or the acquisition of a replacement Accommodation. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.01(h), the Trustee shall be responsible for reconstruction of the Accommodation or the acquisition of a replacement Accommodation if the applicable OA, if any, is not obligated to so reconstruct or acquire and whether or not the Trustee is responsible for such reconstruction or replacement, the Trustee shall assure that adequate arrangements are made for alternate accommodations during the time an Accommodation is being reconstructed or a replacement Accommodation is being sought. In the event a destroyed Accommodation is not reconstructed or replaced, the Trustee shall distribute any net proceeds from insurance it may receive to the appropriate Members whose Points were cancelled as a consequence thereof, as provided in Section 5.02(c) above .
(i)OA Agreements. The Trustee may enter into agreements with each OA to set forth the delegation of duties between the Trust and the OA. If an OA for a Vacation Plan is not a party to such an agreement or such Vacation Plan does not have an OA, then the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust as the holder of the Use Rights in Property Interests in such Vacation Plan, may take any action it deems necessary to enforce the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect to those Property Interests and the Accommodations available in respect thereof.
6.02Delegation of Duties. The Trustee may delegate any or all of its duties under this Article VI or any other Article of this Trust Agreement to the Plan Manager. In performing all of the Trustee’s duties delegated to it, the Plan Manager shall at all times insure that the total number of Points required to reserve all Accommodations available in respect of all of the Property Interests (or Use Rights therein) that have been subjected to this Trust Agreement during all use days shall always equal or exceed the total number of Points allocated to all of the Members.
6.03Plan Manager. The initial Plan Manager shall be Wyndham, its successors or assigns. The Plan Manager shall operate the Plan pursuant to this Trust Agreement, the Management Agreement between Plan Manager and the Trustee and all other agreements entered into between either the Trustee or the Plan Manager and one or more Members or the developer or the OA for any Trust Property or Vacation Plan. The Management Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as though set forth word for word. The Plan Manager may be removed only if those Members entitled to cast at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then total votes of all of the Members vote, at an annual or special meeting of the Members of the Association held in accordance with the terms and provisions of the By-Laws of the Association, for the removal of the Plan Manager. In order to assure continuity, the Plan
14
Manager shall be prohibited from resigning prior to the appointment of a successor Plan Manager.
6.04Expenses. Trustee shall have no liability for any expenses attributable to the operation and administration of the Plan or the Trust or the operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of any of the Trust Properties, all such expenses to be paid out of, and to the extent of, the FairShare Plus Assessments collected from time to time.

TRUSTEE MAY NOT ENCUMBER PROPERTY
8.01Restrictions on Encumbrances. Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee under this Trust Agreement, shall not encumber any of the Trust Properties or other assets of the Plan (including the escrowed OA Fees), except to the extent of the lien or security interest in favor of the Trustee for the payment of the Program Fees (as provided in Section 10.07 below); provided, however, the Trustee shall not be restricted from accepting on behalf of the Trust a conveyance of a Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) which Property Interest has encumbrances or
16
other interests which are or may be prior to those of any Beneficiary provided the provisions of ARTICLE VI, Section 6.01 (b) have been met.
ARTICLE IX
TRUSTEE LIABILITY
9.01Reliance on Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee and the Board of Directors may, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the taking of any action with respect to the Trust or this Trust Agreement, rely upon the advice of counsel selected and employed by the Trustee. The opinion of any such counsel with respect to the construction of this Trust Agreement or the rights, obligations and powers of any person affected hereby shall constitute full protection and be a justification to the Trustee and the Board of Directors for any action taken by the Trustee or the Board of Directors in good faith in reliance on such opinion.
9.02Protection of Trustee and the Board. The Trustee and its Board of Directors are hereby relieved of any and all liability to any Beneficiary for any losses to his interest resulting from the Trustee or its Board of Directors acting in accordance with the terms hereof.

Trustee and its Board of Directors shall not be required to verify the validity of any Purchase Agreement or Assignment Agreement which is valid on its face. Neither the Trustee nor its Board of Directors guarantees to any Member that said Member will be entitled to use or occupy any Accommodation available through his Property Interest or any other Accommodation for which the Trust holds Use Rights. If any dispute or difference arises between any of the Beneficiaries hereof and any third person or if any conflicting demands shall be made upon the Trustee or its Board of Directors, Trustee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, shall not be required to determine the same or take any action; but Trustee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, may await settlement of the controversy by final, appropriate legal proceedings or otherwise as it may require, or Trustee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, may file suit in interpleader in the applicable State Court for Pulaski County, Arkansas or the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, for the purpose of having the respective rights of the parties adjudicated and may deposit with said court any and all Trust Properties held hereunder and any and all documents, contracts, accounts and/or rights of any form or character.

ARTICLE X
FAIRSHARE PLUS ASSESSMENT; PROGRAM FUND
10.01FairShare Plus Assessment. Each Member other than Wyndham is required to pay the FairShare Plus Assessment. The FairShare Plus Assessment consists of the sum of the Program Fee and the OA Fee, each of which will be determined on an annual basis prior to the beginning of each year. Upon receipt of the FairShare Plus Assessment, the OA Fee shall be deposited in the Escrow Account and the Program Fee shall be deposited in the Program Fund.
10.02Program Fee.
(a)Amount. The amount of the Program Fee shall be determined by the Trustee as needed to cover the cost of the operation and administration of the Plan (including the operation and administration of the Trust and the Association and, to the extent that the Trust is responsible therefor, the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Trust Properties). The Trustee may establish varying fees among Members provided there is a reasonable basis for such a fee structure. The Program Fee shall be determined prior to January 1 of each year in connection with the budget process for the Plan.
(b)Use. The Program Fee will be used by the Trustee to fund the operation and administration of the Plan (including, the operation and administration of the Trust and the Association and, to the extent that the Trust is responsible therefor, the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Trust Properties).
10.03OA Fees.
(a)Amount. Each Member’s OA Fee shall be equal to the sum of all annual amounts, including without limitation recreation, maintenance and reserve fees and assessments and real estate taxes (to the extent payable through the OA), that each such Member agreed to pay the OA which governs the Property Interest which such Member used as the basis for his Membership. The amount of the OA Fee will be determined by each Member’s respective OA and not by the Trustee. The amount of the OA Fee will vary from Member to Member as determined by the board of directors or other governing or managing authority of the OA which governs such Member’s Property Interest.
(b)Use. The OA Fee will be collected by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of each Member’s Purchase Agreement and/or Assignment Agreement and held in the Escrow Account for each such Member until the OA Fee is due to each such Member’s respective OA. This fee will be paid by the Trustee to the applicable OA on or
18
before the date the fee is due, on behalf of each Member that has fully deposited his or her OA Fees in the Escrow Account. The OA Fee will be collected by the Trustee on behalf of the Member and neither the Trustee nor the Plan Manager shall have any discretionary power over the disposal or use of the OA Fee.
(c)Escrow Account. All OA Fees will remain in the Escrow Account until paid to the appropriate OA.
10.04Method of Payment. FairShare Plus Assessments may be paid annually or in monthly installments. Members who elect to pay their FairShare Plus Assessments on an annual basis must pay for an entire twelve-month period in advance of the date that their OA Fee is due to their respective OAs.
10.05Escrow Account. Funds on deposit in the Escrow Account may from time to time be invested in accordance with the Trust’s investment policy. Investment income, if any, shall be used by the Trustee to offset the Program Fees for the year or years following the year in which the investment income is recorded.
10.06Special Assessments.
(a)Program Fees. The determination of the amount of the Program Fee will be based upon the best available information at the time of the preparation of the budget for the Plan. Members will be required to pay or reimburse the Trustee in the event that for any year the total amount of Program Fees due from all Members is not sufficient to pay all expenses of administration and operation of the Plan (including administration and operation of the Trust and the Association and, to the extent that the Trust is responsible therefor, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Trust Properties) for that year. Adjustments, if any, to cover such shortfalls will be allocated among Members in an equitable fashion as determined by the Board of Directors of the Trustee in its sole discretion.
(b)OA Fees. To the extent not then known, the OA Fees will be estimated at the beginning of each year based upon the best available information at the time of the determination of the FairShare Plus Assessment. The amounts due for the OA Fees will be adjusted at the end of each year upon receipt of the invoices for the actual amounts of the fees due the OAs and each Member will be billed for any increase in his OA Fees on or about January 31 of the following year. Any surplus resulting from a decrease in any Member’s OA Fees will be held in the Escrow Account and used by the Trustee to offset the amount due from that Member for his OA Fees for the following year. Refunds may be requested by a Member if the amount of such Member’s “excess” OA Fees held in the Escrow Account exceeds five percent (5%) of the anticipated OA Fee for the next year.
10.07Delinquent Payment of FairShare Plus Assessment. A Member shall be deemed to be delinquent in the payment of his FairShare Plus Assessment or any installment thereof if such Member shall fail to pay the delinquent amount within thirty (30) days of the date that the Trustee (or the Plan Manager on behalf of the Trustee) sends written notice thereof.
19
Once a Member is so delinquent, as provided in Section 11.07 below, such Member shall no longer be entitled to use his Points in the Plan unless and until such delinquency is cured. In addition, the Trustee shall have (and each Member, by acquiring a Property Interest subject to this Trust Agreement or by assigning to the Trust the Use Rights in his Property Interest, shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee) a lien or security interest in such Member’s Use Rights (or Property Interest) to the extent of the portion of the delinquency that constitutes Program Fees, which lien or security interest shall, in all respects, be subordinate to the lien or security of the underlying OA to the extent of the portion of the delinquency that constitutes OA fees and to the lien or security interest of any lender who has a previously recorded or perfected lien or security interest on such Member’s Property Interest. Upon the occurrence of a delinquency, the Trustee is hereby authorized to take all steps necessary to perfect its lien or security interest and to enforce its lien or security interest in any manner permitted by applicable law, including, but not limited to, a suit at law or a power of sale or enforcement of its lien or security interest in the manner provided for under applicable law.
10.08Withdrawal from Trust. In the event a Member withdraws his Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) from the Trust for any reason, such Member shall be entitled to receive a refund of the prepaid OA Fee held in the Escrow Account on his behalf. The amount of the refund shall equal the balance of the withdrawing Member’s prepaid OA Fees less any administrative fees charged by the Trustee and/or the Plan Manager in connection with such withdrawal. Program Fees are not refundable.
10.09Payment History. Each Member may request a payment history report from the Trustee showing receipts and disbursements related to such Member’s Membership; provided, however, no more than two such reports may be requested in any twelve (12) month period without an additional administrative charge.
10.10Member Directions Regarding OA Fees. Each Member by acquiring a Property Interest previously subjected to this Trust Agreement or by assigning to the Trust the Use Rights in his Property Interest is deemed to have instructed the Trustee to collect the OA Fees, deposit such amount in the Escrow Account and remit them when due to the appropriate OA which instruction shall be irrevocable unless and until such Member withdraws his Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) from the Trust.
ARTICLE XI
TRUST PROPERTY RESERVATIONS
11.01Directory.Set forth below in summary form are certain of the most important features of the Plan. The rules, regulations, guidelines, policies and procedures related to the allocation of Points to the Trust Properties and the use of Points by Members in connection with the Trust Properties and the Plan are fully described in the Directory. In the event of a conflict between the information described in this Article XI and the information set forth in the Directory, the information set forth in the Directory shall be controlling. Wyndham, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to amend the Directory and the provisions therein from time to time as may be necessary to implement the Plan.
20
11.02Use Year. All Members shall be assigned a “Use Year” which determines the expiration date of such Member’s Points for that particular year. Each Member shall have as the end date of his “Use Year” one of the following four quarterly dates: March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31.
11.03Reservations. The rules, regulations and guidelines concerning reservations and exchanges shall be set forth in the Directory. Reservations canceled thirty (30) days or more prior to the first day of intended use shall not result in a loss of Points. Reservations canceled less than thirty (30) days prior to the first day of intended use shall affect the use of the Member’s Points in the manner described in the Directory (and may include the loss of the Points used by the Member for the reservation.)
11.04Wait List. A “wait list” system has been established by the Trustee for those Members who desire reservation dates that are unavailable and who want to be on a list in the event there are cancellations. The Trustee may charge a fee for the maintenance of the “wait list”, which fee may change, without any guarantee that the reservation date requested will become available. Use of the “wait list”, however, does not prevent a Member from making other reservations during the time such Member might be on the “wait list”.
11.05Rotating Priority List. Holidays and other high demand vacation periods are a popular vacation time at many of the Accommodations. Accordingly, a Rotating Priority List may be established by the Trustee to provide all Members the opportunity to enjoy their choice of Accommodations during such time periods. The rules, regulations and guidelines for the Rotating Priority List are set forth in the Directory.
11.06The Points Credit Pool. The Trustee has established a “Points Credit Pool” for the deposit of certain qualified Points that will not be used by a Member. The rules, regulations, guidelines and restrictions for the Points Credit Pool are set forth in the Directory.
11.07Delinquent Assessments. The Trustee reserves the right to prohibit a Member from utilizing his Points to reserve or use Accommodations, in the event of a delinquency in the payment of any amounts due to Wyndham or any other seller, lender or lienholder related to such Member’s Property Interest or Points, or in the event of a delinquency in the payment of the FairShare Plus Assessment to the Trustee or the payment of any amounts due from such Member to a OA.
11.08Wyndham Use. In addition to the right of Wyndham, as a Member and owner of Points, to make reservations using those Points at any time, Wyndham, in its capacity as the developer of resort communities and Vacation Plans, may reserve available Accommodations up to 60 days in advance of the first day of anticipated occupancy, for its own purposes, including renting to the public, provided it pays or otherwise causes a third party to pay the occupancy related expenses of such Accommodations for each night to be used. All such occupancy related expenses shall be determined by the Trustee. As a result of Wyndham’s use there will be less space available for Member use; however, Wyndham may not reserve the last 10% of available occupancy for a type of Accommodation until 30 days prior to the first day of intended use. In addition, to the extent more Points are available in the Plan than are allocated to Members other
21
than Wyndham, Wyndham may sell or lease Points on such terms as Wyndham and the Trustee deem reasonable. The purchasers or lessees of such Points shall have such Membership rights as Wyndham and the Trustee deem appropriate.
11.09Presales. In the event Wyndham presells Property Interests with proper regulatory approval and the purchaser of such Property Interest has subjected such Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) to this Trust Agreement, such Purchaser shall be entitled to reserve Accommodations prior to the time the Accommodation(s) in the Vacation Plan in which such purchaser has purchased a Property Interest is/are available for occupancy, if the Trustee has determined that Accommodations available in the Plan are sufficient to accommodate such purchaser. Should the Trustee determine that there are insufficient Points available in the Plan to accommodate a purchaser who has purchased and subjected to this Trust Agreement a Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) in a Vacation Plan, the Accommodation(s) of which is/are not available for use, said purchaser shall not be entitled to reserve Accommodations until such time as said Accommodation(s) is/are available for occupancy.
11.10Additional Exchange and Other Programs.
(a)Internal. Wyndham may develop an internal exchange program for Members by which the Members may reserve time in Vacation Plans outside of the Vacation Plans applicable to the Trust Properties. Wyndham may enter into agreements with one or more affiliated or unaffiliated resorts or resort developers at resorts whose Vacation Plan or Vacation Plans are not a part of the Vacation Plans applicable to the Trust Properties and/or one or more affiliated or unaffiliated owners/developers of hotel and non-timeshare resort properties which may provide additional Vacation Units that Members would be able to utilize. Finally, Wyndham may also enter into agreements with the developers of other types of programs or experiences (such as motor homes, houseboats, etc.,) which Members would be able to utilize. The number and location of available resorts and types of vacation and travel programs and experiences will change from time to time as set forth in the Directory and availability will be subject to the provisions of the Plan Manager’s reservation system. Wyndham may charge a fee for each transaction it consummates on behalf of a Member, which fee will be subject to change. Wyndham’s internal exchange system, called “FAX”, may be made available to Members who wish to use their Points to reserve time in Vacation Units which are included in the “FAX” exchange network but are not available through the Plan. Wyndham may charge a fee, which will be subject to change, for each transaction which involves an exchange into the “FAX” exchange network. Persons who have acquired Property Interests in other Wyndham resorts and who are therefore entitled to the privileges of the “FAX” exchange network may also be entitled to exchange the Use Rights attributable to their Property Interests for use of Accommodations in the Plan, but such persons who are members of the “FAX” exchange network and who wish to exchange for Accommodations in the Plan may not submit reservations more than seven months in advance of their requested use period and they must have banked their Property Interest with FAX in advance of making such reservation request. All Points which Members use to avail themselves of any of the foregoing “internal” exchanges or programs shall be deemed to belong to Wyndham for the Use Year attributable to such
22
Points and Wyndham shall be entitled to use such Points in the same fashion as any other Member, including, without limitation, making reservations for Accommodations and renting out those Accommodations to the public.
(b)External. An external exchange program may from time to time be available to qualified Members. Each Member, however, must determine whether he is eligible and desires to become a member of such external exchange program. Each participating Member will be required to pay any fees associated with membership in or the use of any such external exchange program. These external exchange programs are independent companies with no affiliation or relationship to Wyndham, other than RCI, LLC (“RCI”), which is a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“WWC”), WWC being the parent company of Wyndham. The guidelines for exchanging through an external exchange company are subject to change and, when available, will be set forth in the Directory.
(c)Availability of Exchange. Wyndham does not guarantee to the Members that any exchange as set forth in the exchange programs referenced above will be available to the Members.
11.11Priority Reservation Rights.The Trustee may establish different rules and reservation rights for Members based upon (a) levels of Points owned, or (b) the location of the Accommodations available through the Property Interest purchased by a Member, or (c) the specific Use Rights assigned to the Trust, or (d) any other criteria determined by Trustee. Such rules and reservation rights, including priorities, fees, reservation periods, and other policies, guidelines and restrictions shall be set forth in the Directory.

A Member may sell or otherwise transfer his Property Interest and Points provided such Member gives notice to the Trustee at the address specified herein and provided further that the Points allocated to a Property Interest (or the Use Rights therein) may not be sold separate from such Property Interest. A Member may not transfer his Property Interest nor permit others to use the Points associated therewith unless such Member is current in the payment of his FairShare Plus Assessment. The transfer of a Property Interest and the Points associated therewith may not result in a Member owning less than the minimum number of Points needed to reserve one week in an Accommodation. A Member desiring to transfer his Property Interest must also obtain the written consent of Wyndham, which consent may be withheld if the Member is delinquent in the payment of any obligations then due Wyndham under his Purchase Agreement, or under a mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument encumbering his Property Interest, or if the terms and conditions of the Member’s Assignment Agreement prohibit the sale, conveyance or transfer of the Membership to persons other than Wyndham. Wyndham and/or the Plan Manager has the right, in its discretion, to charge the purchaser a reasonable transfer fee for documenting the transfer of a Property Interest and the appurtenant Points.

12.02No Sale Assistance. The Trustee and Wyndham have no obligation to repurchase or assist a Member with the sale of his Property Interest and the Points associated therewith.

Where allowed by law, each Member (with the exception, unless otherwise agreed between the Trustee and the respective OA, of those Members owning Property Interests in Vacation Plans which have not been developed by Wyndham, either as primary developer or as a co-developer with another entity), by executing an Assignment Agreement or a contract or accepting a deed for a Property Interest subject to this Trust Agreement, shall, if the Assignment Agreement or the contract or deed expressly so provides, delegate to the Voting Designee the authority to exercise any voting privileges such Member may have in the OA having jurisdiction over his Property Interest. Each Member who has so delegated his/her voting privileges also agrees to execute any additional documentation that may be requested from time to time by the Trustee to further evidence or continue the effectiveness of such delegation. In exercising the voting privilege of a Member, the Voting Designee agrees in its reasonable discretion to act at all times in the best interest of the Member. The Voting Designee agrees that it will notify the Member and vote as directed by the Member in writing on the following issues:
(a)Waiver of Material Rights. Waiver of any material rights of the OA or of the Members against the Plan Manager, Wyndham or a Third Party;
(b)Fee Increases. Any increase in the OA’s annual maintenance fee or common expense in excess of 115% of the previous year’s budget, excluding reserves; or
(c)Termination. Voluntary termination of the timeshare, condominium or townhouse regime or any proposal not to reconstruct any unit or common element after destruction or casualty.
24
The Voting Designee shall serve in such capacity until such time as the Property Interest or the Use Rights therein is/are no longer subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement. All OA Fees shall remain the personal obligation of Member, its heirs, successors or assigns; provided, however, it is agreed that all OA Fees shall be paid to the Trustee and held in the Escrow Account on behalf of the Member until such amount is due to the OA.
