<strong>CLUB</strong> <strong>RULES</strong> (“Rules”)<br />

1. These Rules shall apply to all <strong>Member</strong>s of Club Infiniti (the “Club”) which is a proprietary club<br />

controlled and operated by the Developer and the Management Company.<br />

2. RIGHTS OF OCCUPATION<br />

(a) The Trustee shall exercise control over the Accommodation and shall use its best endeavours to<br />

keep it free from any mortgage, lien or encumbrance except for the protection of the <strong>Member</strong>s’<br />

Occupancy Rights and to ensure that nothing is done which might prejudice the <strong>Member</strong>s’<br />

Occupancy Rights.<br />

The Club will continue in perpetuity in accordance with the Deed of Trust and subject to<br />

provisions contained in these Rules. The Club will continue in perpetuity using Accommodation<br />

held in accordance with the Deed of Trust and subject to provisions contained in these Rules. In<br />

particular, the Developer shall be solely responsible to ensure such Accommodation as is held in<br />

trust that is not in perpetuity is replaced by other Accommodation so as to ensure that the<br />

aggregate number of Points conferred on all current and valid Points Certificates does not<br />

exceed the aggregate number of Points attached to the Accommodation.<br />

(b) (i) Any Purchaser, by entering into a Purchase Agreement, a Form of Transfer, or such other<br />

suitable document in use from time to time and on complying with the legal obligations<br />

contained therein shall become a Pure Points <strong>Member</strong> or a Ceded Points <strong>Member</strong> and shall be<br />

allotted the number of Points detailed therein, annually. Such document shall at all times, be<br />

deemed to include, inter alia, a commitment by the Purchaser to be bound by the Rules. On<br />

becoming a Pure Points <strong>Member</strong> or a Ceded Points <strong>Member</strong>, the Purchaser’s name and details<br />

will be added to the register.<br />

(ii) With the express written permission of the Developer or its duly authorised representative,<br />

all or part of the consideration under a Purchase Agreement may be in the form of the<br />

assignment to the Developer of Occupancy Rights at resorts which are not the subject of the<br />

Deed of Trust. The Points allotted annually in such circumstances shall be designated as Ceded<br />

Points and the Occupancy Rights related thereto, as Ceded Accommodation. The Purchase<br />

Agreement by which the Ceded Accommodation is assigned to the Developer shall specify the<br />

number of Ceded Points pertaining thereto. In the event of Ceded Accommodation being<br />

deemed unusable, for whatever reason, then the Ceded Points <strong>Member</strong>’s rights under the<br />

Purchase Agreement, the Points Certificate and these Rules shall be suspended until such time<br />

as the Ceded Accommodation becomes useable and any warrantees given by the Trustee shall<br />

not apply to said Ceded Points <strong>Member</strong>. The Management Company shall be the sole arbiter of<br />

whether Ceded Accommodation is useable. Subject to clause 2(c)(iv), assignment to the<br />

Developer, in these circumstances shall be permanent, except with the written consent of the<br />

Developer or unless the accommodation is deemed unusable.<br />

(c) (i) The Trustee shall issue a Points Certificate to each Pure Points <strong>Member</strong> or Ceded Points<br />

<strong>Member</strong> (hereinafter both referred to as “<strong>Member</strong>” unless the context specifically indicates<br />

otherwise) which shall indicate the number of Points to be allocated annually to the <strong>Member</strong> and<br />

which shall entitle the registered holder to exclusively occupy the various types of<br />

Accommodation, in accordance with the Points Table, for Holiday Periods up to the value of his<br />

Points holding at the time of booking, taking into account a <strong>Member</strong>’s right to Borrow and/or<br />

Save Points from year to year, in accordance with clause 2(c)(iii) hereof; provided always that<br />

Points Certificates shall not be issued such that the aggregate number of Points conferred on all<br />

valid Points Certificates exceeds the aggregate number of Points attached to the<br />

Accommodation and the Ceded Accommodation. The Points Certificate shall indicate whether it<br />

refers to Pure or Ceded Points.<br />

(ii) No Points may be used unless the associated Management Charge has been paid.<br />

(iii) Subject to complying with the terms of the foregoing sub-clause a <strong>Member</strong> may bring<br />

forward and use his annual Points allocation (“Borrow”) by a single calendar year or carry<br />

forward any unused part of that year’s Points allocation (“Save”) for a single calendar year. A<br />

<strong>Member</strong>’s earliest available annual Points allocation will automatically be used first on the next<br />

allocation to that <strong>Member</strong> of Exclusive Rights of Occupation. In the event of a <strong>Member</strong> wishing<br />

to Borrow Points, the Management Charge for the year from which the Points are being<br />

Borrowed shall be due in advance. If that Management Charge has not been established, the<br />

Management Charge will be computed as detailed in clause 7 hereof. The Borrowing of Points<br />

and the use of Borrowed Points may be suspended or otherwise limited by the Management<br />

Company from time to time.<br />

(iv) The first year in respect of which Points are credited is as shown on the Purchase<br />

Agreement. In the event of Points credited in the Initial Points Use Year not being utilised, or if<br />

the Completion Date is such that the Points due in the Initial Points Use Year can not be utilised<br />

in that year, they will be carried forward to the subsequent year as described in the Rules of<br />

Occupation.<br />

(v) In the case of Points pertaining to Ceded Accommodation, <strong>Member</strong>ship of the Club shall<br />

cease on the termination date attributed to such Ceded Accommodation.<br />

(vi) The Weekly Periods will be numbered from 1 to 52 in accordance with the IEEO Table of<br />

Weekly Periods.<br />

(vii) The Developer, who alone may authorise the issue of a Purchase Agreement to prospective<br />

Purchasers, is beneficially entitled to any Holiday Periods not allocated to <strong>Member</strong>s in any year.<br />

(viii) The Developer and/or the Management Company may from time to time and at their<br />

discretion alone supplement availability of the Accommodation by Alternative Accommodation<br />

and the term Accommodation shall include Alternative Accommodation where the context so<br />

requires.<br />

(ix) The Management Company may from time to time and at its sole discretion vary the value<br />

of Points as set out in the Points Table in respect of Alternative or other Accommodation which<br />

may be rented in from time to time to cater for fluctuations in Reservation demands.<br />

(x) Notwithstanding any Ceded Accommodation becoming unusable as provided in clause<br />

2.(b)(ii) hereof, in the event that any of the Resorts fail to attain the Club Infiniti standard, the<br />

Developer, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to remove the Resort concerned and replace<br />

it with a resort of an acceptable standard.<br />

(d) Notwithstanding clause 2 (c)(i) of these Rules, the Developer may designate certain Points<br />

Certificates as relating to “Fixed” Holiday Periods and a specific Holiday Unit, which shall confer<br />

Exclusive Rights of Occupation for the Fixed Holiday Period in the specific Holiday Unit annually<br />

as detailed in the Points Certificate.<br />

(e) Registered holders of Points Certificates, other than those designated as “Fixed”, shall apply for<br />

and be allocated occupation of the Accommodation as follows:-<br />

For each year, <strong>Member</strong>s may apply to the Management Company (at its reservation office(s))<br />

for the allocation of the Exclusive Rights of Occupation of one or more Accommodation, for one<br />

or more Holiday Periods, with a Points value, as detailed in the Points Table, up to a maximum<br />

of the number of Points allocated to that <strong>Member</strong>, for that year, augmented by any Points<br />

Borrowed or previously Saved by that <strong>Member</strong> in accordance with these Rules. Such application<br />

shall only be considered by the Management Company if the associated Management Charges<br />

have all been paid.<br />

<strong>Member</strong>s may Save up to one year’s Points allocation for use in the following year. If Points are<br />

Saved and used for a Reservation that is then cancelled, the Points shall remain in the year into<br />

2


which they have been Saved. Points that have been previously Saved cannot be Saved into the<br />

next year.<br />

If a <strong>Member</strong> has not used all of his Points by the end of a current year, the Points eligible to be<br />

Saved will be automatically Saved into the following year’s allocation. Points that have been<br />

Saved must be used in the year into which they were Saved. Thus, any Points that are not<br />

used in the year into which they have been Saved will expire at the end of that year. The<br />

saving of Points and the use of Saved Points may be suspended or otherwise limited by the<br />

Management Company from time to time at its sole discretion.<br />
