<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 />

informed of such products and services even if his membership has been suspended or has<br />
otherwise expired or been terminated.<br />
