2. To submit a valid exchange request, a minimum of three different

resorts and one time period, three different time periods and one resort, or

two resorts and two time periods must be requested. Members may be

confirmed into any resort or time period requested.

3. For those Members exchanging with II based on the deposit or

relinquishment of a unit week, the Member may request to travel with a

number of people equal to the maximum occupancy of the

accommodations deposited or to be relinquished, provided that the

number of people traveling does not exceed the standard traveling party

size associated with each unit type as follows: hotel, studio, or efficiency

unit – two persons; one-bedroom unit – four persons; two-bedroom unit –

six persons; three-bedroom unit – eight persons; and four-bedroom unit –

10 persons. Confirmations may be made into any unit that will accommodate

the number of people in the Member’s traveling party, even where the

Home Resort accommodations deposited or relinquished can accommodate

a greater number of people. For example, if a Member relinquishes a two-

bedroom unit that accommodates six people, but is traveling with only four

people, he or she may be confirmed into either a two-bedroom or one-

bedroom unit. In all instances, exchange opportunities are enhanced by

accepting any unit that will accommodate the number of people traveling.

Exchanges are arranged on a space-available basis, taking into

consideration the “Comparable Exchange” concept explained in

Paragraphs 13 and 14. Neither II, nor any developer or marketer can

guarantee the fulfillment of a specific request, as weeks are received

on a periodic basis throughout the year.

Generally, II does not control the

timing, location, or number of weeks available to the Exchange Program.

Some Members may be restricted from exchanging into resorts

located within the same geographical area as the Home Resort

accommodations that are being deposited or relinquished. There are

Additional geographic areas may be restricted in the future. Members

affected by any future restrictions will be advised via II’s regular

publications.

6. Only II can confirm vacation exchange requests, and only II written or

electronic Confirmations are valid. II will attempt to confirm a request until

48 hours before the latest travel dates requested; however, beginning on

the 29th day prior to the latest travel dates requested, II will contact the

Member by telephone in order to obtain acceptance by the Member prior

to issuing a Confirmation.

7. (a) For Members who wish to change their Host Accommodations

subsequent to receiving a Confirmation without canceling their

Confirmation, E-Plus is available to allow Individual Members to “retrade”

their original Confirmation, up to a total of three times upon the payment

of an additional fee. The use of E-Plus may be purchased at any time

commencing at the time an exchange request is initially placed and

continuing up to five (5) days following the issuance of a Confirmation, so

long as the purchase is prior to the first date of occupancy of the Host

Accommodations and the Host Resort is in good standing with II. E-Plus

may be used to secure up to three (3) retrades of the Member’s Host

Accommodations and/or vacation periods at any time up to 12 months

after the first date of occupancy of the Host Accommodations of the

original Confirmation (the “E-Plus Usage Window”). Once established, the

E-Plus Usage Window does not change upon any subsequent retrade.

(b) When transacting an E-Plus retrade, the Member may view

available Host Accommodations and an E-Plus retrade will be instantly

issued if the desired accommodations are available at the time the retrade is

initiated. Retrade requests may be made online or by telephone.

from the first date of occupancy of the original Confirmation or, if applicable,

previously issued retrade, he or she will be entitled to select available

accommodations with travel dates any time up to the expiration of the E-Plus

Usage Window.

(ii) When the Member requests an E-Plus retrade 59 days to

24 hours prior to the first date of occupancy of the original Confirmation

or, if applicable, initial retrade, the Member may only select from

accommodations that have occupancy dates commencing up to 60 days

after the first date of occupancy of the original Confirmation or previously

issued retrade. Any subsequent retrade request may only be for Host

Accommodations with occupancy dates 60 days or less prior to the first

date of occupancy of the current retrade.

(iii)

E-Plus may not be used to change Host Accommodations

less than 24 hours prior to the first date of occupancy of the current

Host Accommodations.

(d) For E-Plus retrades where points (inclusive of Club Interval Points

and Preferred Points) were relinquished for the original Confirmation:

(i) Where the number of points required for the retrade is equal to

or less than the number of points required for the original Confirmation or, if

applicable, previously issued retrade, no points will be returned to the

Member’s points, Club Interval Points, or Preferred Points account.

(ii) Where the number of points or Club Interval Points required

for the retrade is greater than the amount relinquished for the original

Confirmation or, if applicable, previously issued retrade, the Member will be

required to relinquish the additional points needed. A retrade will not be

confirmed until the availability of the required number of points is verified

by the Home Resort.

(e) Only one purchase of E-Plus may be made as to any particular

Confirmation.

(f)

E-Plus may not be purchased for use with a ShortStay

Exchange Confirmation, an Interval Options Confirmation, or with

respect to the purchase of accommodations through the Getaway

Program.

(g)

E-Plus may not be used to secure a retrade where the Host

Accommodations have become unavailable for occupancy for any

reason.

Where a Member secures a retrade for accommodations located in

an area prone to damage or destruction due to adverse weather conditions,

earthquakes, or other natural disasters, travel insurance is available through

a third-party provider. Information about travel insurance is available at

IntervalWorld.com.

(h) E-Plus may not be available to owners at some Member Resorts

because of the Home Resort’s internal rules.

(i)

II’s Exchange Cancellation Policies do not apply to an E-Plus

retrade.
