On the related Transfer Date during the Prefunding Period, in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Subsequent Timeshare Loan, the Seller does hereby transfer, assign, sell and grant to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), any and all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) each Subsequent Timeshare Loan conveyed to the Issuer on such Transfer Date, (ii) the Receivables in respect of such Subsequent Timeshare Loans due on and after the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Files, (iv) all Related Security in respect of such Subsequent Timeshare Loans, (v) all rights and remedies of the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreements and (vi) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing (the property described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) , the "Subsequent Conveyed Timeshare Property", and together with the Initial Conveyed Timeshare Property and the Substitute Conveyed Timeshare Property, the "Conveyed Timeshare Property").

The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Subsequent Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than consolidated financial and federal and state income tax reporting.

(d)    Delivery of Timeshare Loan Files.  In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of any Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Issuer hereby directs the Seller and the Seller hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.
(e)    Collections.  The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections that are received by it in respect of the Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder on and after the related Cut-Off Date in the Collection Account.
(f)    Limitation of Liability.  Neither the Issuer nor any subsequent assignee of the Issuer shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Issuer or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan.  No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Issuer or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such obligation or liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.
SECTION 3.    Intended Characterization; Grant of Security Interest.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale by the Seller to the Issuer and not a loan secured by the Timeshare Loans.  In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have Granted to the Issuer as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Timeshare Property and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  In the event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the "Highest Lawful Rate").  In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, 

3

and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof.
The characterization of the Seller as "debtor" and the Issuer as "secured party" in any financing statement required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this transaction be treated as a sale to the Issuer of the Seller’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Timeshare Property.
SECTION 4.    Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans.  The obligations of the Issuer to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a)    All representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 5 hereof and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, and the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Initial Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate to such effect.
(b)    With respect to each Transfer Date, all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 5(a) hereof shall be true and correct on the related Transfer Date, as if made on such date, and all representations and warranties as to the Timeshare Loans contained in Section 5(b) hereof and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans in respect of the Timeshare Loans (including the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and/or Subsequent Timeshare Loans conveyed on such Transfer Date) shall be true and correct on the related Transfer Date.
(c)    On or prior to the Closing Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, the Seller shall have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Custodian and the Custodian shall have delivered a Trust Receipt therefor pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Servicer and (iii) an updated Schedule of Timeshare Loans to the Custodian, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
(d)    The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Issuer to be delivered by the Seller or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of the Closing Date or Transfer Date, as the case may be, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the opinion of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in the related Timeshare Loans.  Each transfer, assignment, sale and grant made on a Transfer Date shall be evidenced by a subsequent transfer certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

4

(e)    On or before the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Indenture.
(f)    The Notes shall be issued and sold on the Closing Date, the Issuer shall receive the full consideration due it upon the issuance of the Notes, and the Issuer shall have applied such consideration, to the extent necessary, to pay to the Seller the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Initial Timeshare Loan.
(g)    With respect to the conveyance of a Subsequent Timeshare Loan on any Transfer Date during the Prefunding Period, the Issuer shall have applied the amounts on deposit in the Prefunding Account, to the extent necessary, to pay the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Subsequent Timeshare Loan.

After the purchase of all Subsequent Timeshare Loans on any Transfer Date, the Subsequent Timeshare Loan Criteria shall have been satisfied as of such Transfer Date.
(h)    With respect to the substitution of a Timeshare Loan, each of the conditions herein and in the Indenture for substitution of Timeshare Loans shall have been satisfied including, without limitation, the satisfaction of each of the criteria set forth in the definition of "Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan" and each of the conditions herein and in the Indenture for substitution of Timeshare Loans shall have been satisfied.  
(i)    The Seller shall have delivered such other certificates and opinions as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer or its assignee.
SECTION 5.     Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants of the Seller.
(a)    The Seller represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, as of the Closing Date (with respect to the Initial Timeshare Loans and the execution of this Agreement) and on each Transfer Date (with respect to the Timeshare Loans and/or Subsequent Timeshare Loans transferred on such Transfer Date) as follows:
(i)    Due Incorporation; Valid Existence; Good Standing.  The Seller is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified will not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any portion of the Conveyed Timeshare Property.

5

(ii)    Possession of Licenses, Certificates, Franchises and Permits.  The Seller holds, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will hold, all material licenses, certificates, franchises and permits from all governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its business, and has received no notice of proceedings relating to the revocation of any such license, certificate, franchise or permit, which singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of the Conveyed Timeshare Property.
(iii)    Corporate Authority and Power.  The Seller has, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will have, all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business, to execute and deliver this Agreement and all documents and transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder.  The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to acquire, own, transfer and convey the Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Issuer.
(iv)    Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Valid and Binding.  This Agreement and all other Transaction Documents and instruments required or contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by the Seller have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming the due execution and delivery by, the other party or parties hereto and thereto, constitute legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally applicable in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Seller and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.  This Agreement constitutes a valid transfer of the Seller’s interest in the Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Issuer or the valid creation of a first priority perfected security interest in the Conveyed Timeshare Property in favor of the Issuer.
(v)    No Violation of Law, Rule, Regulation, etc.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party do not and will not (A) violate any of the provisions of the certificate of formation or the limited liability company agreement of the Seller, (B) violate any provision of any law, governmental rule or regulation currently in effect applicable to the Seller or its properties or by which the Seller or its properties may be bound or affected, including, without limitation, any bulk transfer laws, (C) violate any judgment, decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order currently in effect applicable to the Seller or its properties or by which the Seller or its properties are bound or affected, (D) conflict with, or result

(vi)    Governmental Consent.  No consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or other Governmental Authority in respect of the Seller is required which has not been obtained in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer of the Conveyed Timeshare Property and the creation of the security interest of the Issuer therein pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
(vii)    Defaults.  The Seller is not in default under any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which the Seller is a party or by which it or its properties is or are bound, or with respect to any order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body, in each case, which would have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereunder or on the business, operations, financial condition or assets of the Seller, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default with respect to any such agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, or with respect to any such order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body.
(viii)    No Adverse Change.  Except for such matters, if any, as are disclosed in the Offering Circular dated November 13, 2013, since the end of its most recent, audited fiscal year, there has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller which would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or any such other Transaction Documents.
(ix)    Insolvency.  The Seller will be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Conveyed Timeshare Property hereunder.  On the Closing Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, the Seller will not engage in any business or transaction for which any property remaining with the Seller would constitute an unreasonably small amount of capital.
(x)    Pending Litigation or Other Proceedings.  Except for such matters, if any, as are disclosed in the Offering Circular dated November 13, 2013, there is no pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body against or affecting the Seller which, if decided adversely, would 

7

materially and adversely affect (i) the condition (financial or otherwise), business or operations of the Seller, (ii) the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, (iii) any of the Conveyed Timeshare Property or title of the Seller to any Conveyed Timeshare Property, or (iv) the Issuer’s or the Indenture Trustee's ability to foreclose or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to any of the Conveyed Timeshare Property, including without limitation the right to revoke or otherwise terminate Points Purchase Contracts and the rights of the Obligors to use and occupy the related Points-Based Property.
(xi)    Information.  No document, certificate or report furnished or required to be furnished by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, in its capacity as the Seller, contains or will contain when furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or fails, or will fail, to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.  There are no facts known to the Seller which, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect, or which (aside from general economic trends) may reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect in the future, the financial condition or assets or business of the Seller, or which may impair the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, which have not been disclosed herein or therein or in the certificates and other documents furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant hereto or thereto specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(xii)    Foreign Tax Liability.  The Seller is not aware of any Obligor under a Timeshare Loan who has withheld any portion of payments due under such Timeshare Loan because of the requirements of a foreign taxing authority, and no foreign taxing authority has contacted the Seller concerning a withholding or other foreign tax liability.
(xiii)    Employee Benefit Plan Liability. As of the Closing Date and each Transfer Date, as applicable, (i) no "accumulated funding deficiency" (as such term is defined under ERISA and the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any "employee pension benefit plan" (as such term is defined under ERISA) sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any plan year beginning prior to January 1, 2008, and, to the Seller's knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in an accumulated funding deficiency as of the last day of any plan year beginning prior to January 1, 2008; (ii) no unpaid “minimum required contribution” (as such term is defined under ERISA and the Code), whether or not such funding deficiency is waived, exists with respect to any employee pension benefit plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any plan year beginning after December 31, 2007, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in an unpaid minimum 

8

required contribution as of the last day of any plan year beginning after December 31, 2007 of any such plan; (iii) the Seller and each of its Affiliates has made all contributions required under each Multiemployer Plan; and (iv) neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates has withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan with respect to which there is any outstanding liability and, to the Seller's knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that presents a risk of the occurrence of any withdrawal from, or the partition, termination, reorganization or insolvency of, any Multiemployer Plan that could result in any liability to the Seller.
(xiv)    Taxes.  The Seller has filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) which it reasonably believes are required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges due from the Seller or is contesting any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge in good faith through appropriate proceedings or such failure will not have a material adverse effect on the rights and interests of the Issuer.  The Seller knows of no basis for any material additional tax assessment for any fiscal year for which adequate reserves have not been established.  The Seller intends to pay all such taxes, assessments and governmental charges when due.
(xv)    Place of Business.  The place of business where the Servicer on behalf of the Seller keeps its records concerning the Timeshare Loans will be 10600 West Charleston Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 (or such other place specified by the Seller by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee).  The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller is located at 10600 West Charleston Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 (or such other place specified by the Seller by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee).
(xvi)    Securities Laws.  The Seller is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  No portion of the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each of the Timeshare Loans will be used by the Seller to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13 or Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(xvii)    Ownership of the Seller.  One hundred percent (100%) of the membership interest of the Seller is directly owned (both beneficially and of record) by Diamond Resorts Finance Holding Company, a Delaware corporation.  Such membership interest is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire membership interests from the Seller.
(xviii)    Representations and Warranties Regarding Security Interest and Loan Files.  
(A)    In the event of the characterization of the transfers under this Agreement as a loan, the grant under Section 3 hereof creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in 

9

the Conveyed Timeshare Property in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens arising under the UCC, and is enforceable as such against creditors of the Seller, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affected creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(B)    The Timeshare Loans and the documents evidencing such Timeshare Loans constitute either “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “instruments” or “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(C)    The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Conveyed Timeshare Property free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
(D)    The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Conveyed Timeshare Property granted to the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee.
(E)    All original executed copies of each Obligor Note that constitute or evidence any Conveyed Timeshare Property have been delivered to the Custodian and the Issuer has received a Trust Receipt therefor, which acknowledges that the Custodian is holding the Obligor Notes that constitute or evidence any Conveyed Timeshare Property solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.
(F)    Other than as contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Conveyed Timeshare Property.  The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering any Conveyed Timeshare Property other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereunder, under the Indenture or that has been terminated.
(G)    All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith describing the Conveyed Timeshare Property contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

10

(H)    None of the Obligor Notes that constitute or evidence any Conveyed Timeshare Property has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than to the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee.
The foregoing representations and warranties in Section 5(a)(xviii) shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be waived or amended until the Notes are paid in full or otherwise released or discharged.
(b)    The Seller hereby: (i) represents and warrants that immediately prior to the transfer of any Timeshare Loan to the Issuer, the Seller had full legal and equitable title to such Timeshare Loan, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, and (ii) makes the representations and warranties contained in Schedule I hereto with respect to each Timeshare Loan, and the representations and warranties contained in Schedule II hereto with respect to the Resorts, such representations and warranties in both clauses (i) and (ii) for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders with respect to each Timeshare Loan and the Resorts as of the Closing Date (with respect to the Initial Timeshare Loans) and each Transfer Date (with respect to the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans and Subsequent Timeshare Loans), as applicable.
(c)    It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of any Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Issuer and any assignment of such Timeshare Loan by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall continue (i) so long as any such Timeshare Loan shall remain outstanding or (ii) until such time as such Timeshare Loan is repurchased or a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan is provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof.  The Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that the Issuer intends to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Timeshare Property and its rights and remedies under this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.  The Seller agrees that, upon any such assignment, the Indenture Trustee may enforce directly, without joinder of the Issuer (but subject to any defense that the Seller may have under this Agreement) all rights and remedies hereunder.
(d)    With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) hereof which are made to the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Issuer or any assignee thereof, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described herein.
SECTION 6.    Repurchases and Substitutions. 
(a)    Mandatory Repurchases and Substitutions for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.  Upon the receipt of notice by the Seller of a breach of any 

11

of the representations and warranties in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof which materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Issuer or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer (including the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders) therein, the Seller shall within 60 days of such notice, cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or either (i) repurchase such Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any.    
(b)    Optional Repurchases and Substitutions of Timeshare Loans.  On any date, the Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to either (i) repurchase a Defaulted Timeshare Loan from the Issuer for a price equal to the related Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan for a Defaulted Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any.
(c)    Limitation on Optional Repurchases and Substitutions of Timeshare Loans.  The aggregate Cut-Off Date Loan Balance of Defaulted Timeshare Loans that may be repurchased and of Defaulted Timeshare Loans that may be substituted pursuant to Section 6(b) shall be limited on any date to 15% and 20%, respectively, of the Aggregate Loan Balance on the Initial Cut-Off Date less the sum of the Loan Balances of all Defaulted Timeshare Loans (as of the date they became Defaulted Timeshare Loans) previously repurchased or substituted, as applicable, at the Seller’s option.
(d)    Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts.  The Issuer hereby directs and the Seller hereby agrees to remit all amounts in respect of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts in immediately available funds to the Indenture Trustee.  In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is substituted pursuant to Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.  
(e)    Schedule of Timeshare Loans.  The Issuer hereby directs, and the Seller hereby agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased or substituted, to provide the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with a revised Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal of such Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.
(f)    Officer’s Certificate.  The Seller shall, on each Transfer Date, certify in writing to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of "Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan" and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Custodian and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Servicer.
(g)    Release.  In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions 

12

contained in this Section 6, the Issuer shall execute and deliver (or shall cause the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver) such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment presented to it by the Seller or its designee, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee the legal and beneficial ownership of such Timeshare Loans; provided, however, that with respect to any release of a Timeshare Loan that is substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Issuer shall not execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment until the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer have received a Trust Receipt for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.  The Issuer shall cause the Custodian to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Seller or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Seller or its designee; provided, however, that with respect to any Timeshare Loan File or Timeshare Loan Servicing File related to a Timeshare Loan that has been substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Issuer shall not cause the Custodian and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan File and the Timeshare Loan Servicing File, respectively, until the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer have received a Trust Receipt for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.  
(h)    Sole Remedy.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller to repurchase or substitute Timeshare Loans contained in Section 6(a) hereof and the obligation of the Seller to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall constitute the sole remedies for the breaches of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof. 
SECTION 7.     Additional Covenants of the Seller.  The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Issuer as follows:
(a)    The Seller shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it and its business and properties.

(g)    The Seller agrees from time to time, at its expense, promptly to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that may be necessary, or that the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale of the Timeshare Loans, or to enable the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any Timeshare Loan including but not limited to powers of attorney, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, assignments of Mortgage and Points Purchase Contracts.  The Seller hereby appoints the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable, to act on behalf and in the name of the Seller to enforce obligations of the Seller hereunder.
(h)    Any change in the legal name of the Seller and any use by it of any trade name, fictitious name, assumed name or "doing business as" name occurring after the Closing Date shall be promptly disclosed to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing.

14

ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

The Seller has delivered to the Custodian a Lost Note Affidavit in the form of Exhibit C hereto in each instance where it is unable to provide a signed original Obligor Note or Points Purchase Contract, and the Issuer agrees that such Lost Note Affidavit shall be sufficient to satisfy the Seller's obligations hereunder.  
(p)    The Seller authorizes the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to file continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Conveyed Timeshare Property and all payments made with regard to the related Conveyed Timeshare Property without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law.

Any assignee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled directly to enforce this Agreement. The Seller may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Issuer and any of its assignees.  The Issuer may, and intends to, assign all of its rights hereunder to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Seller consents to any such assignment.  This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until its termination; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof and the repurchase or substitution and indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement but such rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 13.     Amendments; Consents and Waivers.  No modification, amendment or waiver of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and documents delivered thereto, nor consent to any departure by the Seller from any of the terms or conditions thereof shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto and the written consent of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders is given and confirmation is received from the Rating Agency that such action will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned to the Notes.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Governmental Authority determines that the Issuer may not purchase or acquire the Conveyed Timeshare Property, the transactions evidenced hereby shall constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable intent of the parties hereto, and the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer as of the date hereof, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Conveyed Timeshare Property and the related property as described in Section 2 hereof.

There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, or assessments outstanding with respect to any of the Timeshare Properties, nor any other material outstanding Liens affecting the Timeshare Properties, other than Permitted Liens.
           (bb)    No consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or governmental authority in respect of any Obligor is required which has not been obtained in connection with the transfer of any Timeshare Loans to the Transferors, the Seller or the Issuer or in connection with the pledge of any Timeshare Loans to the Indenture Trustee.
            (cc)    No selection procedures reasonably believed by the Seller to be adverse to the Noteholders were utilized in selecting any Timeshare Loans.

There is no more than one original executed copy of each Obligor Note or Points Purchase Contract.

interest in favor of any Person, (ii) covered by a title insurance policy issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where such timeshare property or other real estate interest is located and (iii) related to a Collection.
(jj)    With respect to any Points-Based Loan, none of the related Collection Developer, Collection Trustee and/or Collection Association is in default under the related Collection Trust Agreement or has caused the ratio of Points to available intervals or units to fall below required levels.
(kk)    If such Timeshare Loan is a Subsequent Timeshare Loan, when such Timeshare Loan is aggregated with all Timeshare Loans sold to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, it satisfies the Subsequent Timeshare Loan Criteria.

Schedule III (II(j))
Physical Condition
The Developer was not the developer of the Poipu Point condominium (completed in 1993); the Ka’anapali Beach Vacation Resort (completed in 1988); or The Villas at Polo Towers (completed in 2006).  As a result, the Association does not hold any warranties, express or implied, on the Collection accommodations or the component sites.  The resort interests were conveyed to the Trustee “as is.
Ka’anapali Beach Resort
A lawsuit alleging a construction defect by the manufacturer of the rooftop space frame was filed by the Company or one or more of its affiliates (the “Developer”) in its pursuit to help the association in the matter of determining whether there are any grounds to seek relief against the manufacturer of said space frame.  Settlement in the amount of $2.465MM has been reached with the three defendants and the case has been dismissed.
Water intrusion issues have also been discovered around the resort, including the sealant around the entire property, the driveway, porte-cochere and parking structure.  The extent of the damage, recommendations for repair and evaluation of financial responsibility are currently being considered. 
The Point at Poipu
The exterior walls of all buildings in The Point at Poipu condominium have experienced damage due to water intrusion.  The Board of Directors of the condominium association for The Point at Poipu (“Poipu Condominium Board”) had a study performed to determine the scope and extent of the damage and the cost of any necessary repair work.  Based on the results of such study, the Poipu Condominium Board has concluded to initiate a water intrusion assessment to pay for the repair work.  The Developer has determined that it will pay for such assessments relative to certain Points purchased by owners in 2011, including any Points purchased on and subsequent to the last Revision Date on page 1 of the Hawaii Disclosure Statement purchasers receive, however, the Developer is not assuming responsibility for the payment of any other assessment made to Collection Members in the future that are unrelated to the repair of such water intrusion damage at The Point at Poipu condominium.  Construction work to repair the damage has commenced in 2012, with an estimated completion date of May 31, 2017.  These dates and construction timeframe estimates are approximate only and could change in the future due to unforeseen events, inclement weather, and other events that are beyond the control of the Poipu Condominium Board.  In order to conduct the necessary repair work, the Poipu Condominium Board anticipates that only one building at a time will be completely closed off from occupancy.
Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort
Numerous instances of improper installation or construction techniques by the contractor have been discovered at Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort.  These construction defects have resulted or may result in some structural defects, including water intrusion in the roof and the parking garage and in the bathrooms and exterior walls of a significant number of units at the resort.  In order to secure the 

III-5

correction of these defects, the Developer filed an action against the contractor seeking repairs and in some instances replacement of physical components of the resort and correction of the effects of any resulting defects and/or water intrusion.  This action settled for $25 million. The repairs are underway at the resort and are anticipated to be completed in 2015.  The use of the affected units may be temporarily interrupted during the course of making the repairs. 
All or portions of the Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort are located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.  Prospective purchasers are provided with a separate disclosure document required under California Government Code Section 51183.5.
San Luis Bay Inn
All or portions of the San Luis Bay Inn resort are located within a Special Flood Hazard Area, as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  Prospective purchasers are provided with a separate disclosure document required under California Government Code Section 8589.3.  
The resort also lies within an Area of Potential Flooding as shown on an inundation map.  Purchasers are provided with a separate disclosure document required under California Government Code Section 8589.4.  
The resort is also located within five (5) miles of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.  It is within the basic emergency planning zone, the area surrounding each of California’s nuclear power plants, in which both state and federal governments require planning to protect the public in the unlikely event of a serious accident at the plant.  Plans for public information and for a full range of protective actions, including evacuation, have been developed by local emergency services offices.
Scottsdale Links
