4. Affiliated Resorts.

4.1. From time to time, RCI authorises certain resorts, vacation clubs, and other legal entities ("Affiliated Resorts") to provide copies of the Program Documents to purchasers of Vacation Time at or through an Affiliated Resort, so that any such purchasers can consider whether to become a Member of the Program. RCI is a separate and distinct entity from Affiliated Resorts, developers, marketers, managers, sellers of Vacation Time, or Inventory providers used in the Program. Affiliated Resorts are subject to resort affiliation agreements, and are not permitted to make any representations about RCI or the Program that are different from the statements in the Program Documents. RCI makes no promise or representation (other than made in writing by RCI) about any Affiliated Resort or the management of Affiliated Resorts. Members must make their own enquiries and satisfy themselves on such matters.

4.2. RCI was not and will not be a party to any contract or agreement that Member may have entered into with a developer or Affiliated Resort for the purchase of a Vacation Time.

4.3. There are two types of Affiliated Resorts:

4.3.1. A "Home Resort" is an Affiliated Resort at which a Member owns or is assigned Vacation Time to Deposit for the purpose of exchange.

In addition, the Home Resort or Home Group must be operated in a commercially reasonable manner that will enable it to meet the expectations of RCI and its Members, as determined by RCI in its sole discretion.

5.1.2. If the Member's Vacation Time is at a resort not affiliated with RCI (an "Unaffiliated Resort"), that Unaffiliated Resort must be operated in a commercially reasonable manner, and offer sufficient space, quality and amenities to meet the expectations of RCI and its Members, as determined by RCI in its sole discretion.

If Vacation Time Expenses and specifically maintenance fees are not paid then a "maintenance fee block" will be placed on a Vacation Owner's RCI account until such time as the Home Resort, Home Group or Unaffiliated Resort provides RCI with written confirmation that all the Vacation Owner's obligations have been fulfilled. Member acknowledges that if the Member fails to pay Vacation Time Expenses, RCI may, in its sole discretion, pay some or all of the outstanding Vacation Time Expenses. In that case, the amount of Vacation Time Expenses paid by RCI shall be reimbursed in full by the Member.

6. Spacebank: Depositing Vacation Time.

6.1. Members in compliance with these Terms and Conditions may Deposit Vacation Time into the Program during the time period from the end of the following calendar year to 30 days before the start date of the Deposited Vacation Time. RCI may, in its sole discretion, allow Member to Deposit Vacation Time less than 30 days before the start date of the Deposited Vacation Time. To receive the maximum Deposit Trading Power, Vacation Time should be Deposited at least 6 months prior to the start date of such Vacation Time. Vacation Time Deposited less than 6 months from the start date may receive a lower Deposit Trading Power. RCI may, at its sole discretion, accept a Deposit of Vacation Time less than 60 days before the start date of the Vacation Time, RCI generally considers requests for such Deposits only in areas where there is high demand for Inventory.

6.2. Only Vacation Time that is available for exchange may be Deposited. Vacation Time may be Deposited by, telephone or through RCl's website at www.rci.co.za. Members who wish to Deposit "floating" Vacation Time must obtain unit number and week assignments from their Home Resorts or Home Group before their Vacation Time can be Deposited.

6.3. In order to Deposit Vacation Time with RCI, the Vacation Owner must provide RCI with the following information: RCI member name and membership number, week number, resort ID number, unit number, and such other information as RCI requests.

6.4. Members who have properly Deposited available Vacation Time will receive an electronic Deposit acknowledgment.

6.5. By Depositing Vacation Time with RCI, each Member relinquishes all rights to use that Vacation Time to RCI.

6.6. Member agrees and acknowledges that any Deposited Vacation Time may be used by RCI for any commercially reasonable purpose, including but not limited to the satisfaction of Exchange Requests by Members, for inspection visits, promotions, rental, sale, marketing or for other purposes at RCl's sole discretion, including use in other exchange or accommodation programs. RCI may at any time, dispose of Vacation Time that is not the subject of an exchange confirmation sixty (60) days prior to the start date of that Vacation Time.

7. Obtaining and Confirming an Exchange.

7.1. A Member may seek a Confirmed Exchange for Deposited Vacation Time in accordance with the following procedures:

7.1.1. Members may request access to Inventory at a specific resort, in a specific region, or for Program Benefits offered to Members and others through the Program (an "Exchange Request"). An Exchange Request is properly submitted when:

(a) The Member has Deposited Vacation Time in the Program;

(b) The start and end dates of the Vacation Time requested by the Member fall within the unexpired period during which the Member's exchange privileges are current and in full force and effect;

(c) The Member provides RCI with at least four (4) or more unique and specific resort choices;

(d) The Member requests travel dates between 31 days and 24 months, depending on whether the Exchange request is for a local or International booking, after the date of the Exchange Request. The foregoing is subject to the resort timeshare calendar being available to Spacebank;

        The Member has made a Deposit of Vacation Time that is valid through to the end of the requested travel dates;

(f) The Annual Membership Fee is paid through to the start date of the exchange;

(g) The Member has paid RCI an Exchange Fee, in the amount required by RCI from its Members and posted on the RCI website at www.rci.co.za; and

(h) The Member is in compliance with all other applicable Terms and Conditions.

7.1.2. A Member may make an Exchange Request in person, telephone or via the website.

(a) Telephone: 011 258-1000

(b) Website: www.rci.co.za

7.1.3. If RCI is able to confirm a properly submitted Exchange Request, the Member will receive an electronic Confirmation from RCI. A "Confirmation" is notice that accommodations have been reserved for use by the Member or a guest of the Member with the purchase of a required Guest Certificate (a "Confirmed Exchange"). Either the written or electronic confirmation or the confirmation number and details provided by RCI must be presented upon check-in.

7.1.4. A Confirmation is valid only when issued to Member in writing by or email from RCI or a party authorised by RCI. Upon receipt, the Member should review all the details in the Confirmation and notify RCI as soon as possible if any information in the Confirmation is incorrect. Subsequent changes to any aspect of Member's Confirmation may be treated as a cancellation.

7.1.5. If the Exchange Trading Power of a Confirmed Exchange is less than the Deposit Trading Power assigned to the Deposit used to effect the exchange, RCI will provide credits that can be used towards a future exchange ("Deposit Credits"), provided that such Deposit Credits will be null and void in the event of expiry or earlier termination of Member's RCI membership.

7.1.6. Under certain circumstances, Members with the applicable Deposit Trading Power who make an Exchange Request into their Home Resort or Home Group, may receive priority over other Members who do not own Vacation Time at that Home Resort or Home Group.

7.2. Points Bundle (If offered by RCI, in its sole and absolute discretion): If Member wishes to book an exchange that requires higher Exchange Trading Power value than the total Deposit Trading Power that Member possesses, RCI may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allow Member to pay a fee (prescribed by RCI from time to time) to RCI in order to deduct a maximum of 20% of the trading power value for the desired exchange booking. Provided as always that in order to utilise the benefits of Points Bundle, Member must (a) Deposit all Vacation Time available to Member at the time of making exchange booking, (b) use up all Deposit Trading Power that Member possesses, and (c) such desired exchange must be no more than sixty (60) days from the date of booking. To illustrate, if a desired exchange requires 10 Exchange Trading Power, and Member possesses 8 Deposit Trading Power, Points Bundle (if offered by RCI will allow Member to deduct 2 Exchange Trading Power from the desired exchange. However, if Member possesses 9 Deposit Trading Power, Points Bundle (if offered by RCI) will allow Member to deduct 1 Exchange Trading Power from the desired exchange (i.e. Member must use up their Deposit Trading Power).

8. Exchange System Priorities.

8.1. "Deposit Trading Power" is the value assigned by RCI and assigned to a unit of Vacation Time upon Deposit of such Vacation Time. Deposit Trading Power may vary from Deposit to Deposit and from year to year (based on the criteria set out at Section 8.5 below).

8.2. RCI, at its sole discretion, may reevaluate the value assigned to a unit of Deposited Vacation Time. Upon such reevaluation if the value assigned to the unit of Deposited Vacation Time has increased the Deposit Trading Power of such unit may be adjusted accordingly.

8.3. "Exchange Trading Power" is the value required to obtain the use of a particular unit of available Vacation Time. Exchange Trading Power is subject to change based on system activity and the factors listed in Section 8.5 and may differ from the Deposit Trading Power of the Vacation Time.

8.4. In fulfilling an Exchange Request, RCI will compare the Deposit Trading Power to the Exchange Trading Power of the Vacation Time the Member would like to obtain. If the Exchange Trading Power is less than or equal to the Deposit Trading Power, then an exchange may occur, subject to terms of the Program Documents.

8.5. In deriving Deposit Trading Power and Exchange Trading Power RCI considers such factors as:

8.5.1. the demand, supply, classification, grouping, and utilisation of the Vacation Time, and the

   Affiliated Resort and geographic regions associated with the Vacation Time;

8.5.2.  the seasonal designation of the Vacation Time;

8.5.3.  the size and type of the unit (i.e., number of bedrooms, kitchen type and maximum/private occupancy of the physical unit);

8.5.4. comment card scores that RCI compiles from comments submitted by Members who visit the Affiliated Resort;

8.5.5. the date of Deposit and the start date of the Deposited Vacation Time.

8.6. RCI may at its sole discretion enter into agreements with Affiliated Resorts to assign Deposit Trading Power to certain units of Vacation Time based on an assigned average Deposit Trading Power for such units.

8.7. In addition, Inventory is shared regionally to facilitate Member Exchanges. RCI may set aside Deposited Vacation Time to match regional Reservation requests and other anticipated demands.

8.8. RCI may enforce any restrictions on Exchanges required by Affiliated Resorts and/or Inventory providers that RCI, in its sole discretion, deems reasonable. Restrictions may include, but are not limited to, prohibiting Members or their guests from exchanging into the same resort more than once in a specified period, prohibiting exchanges from or to all or designated resorts located in the same geographic area or region as an Affiliated Resort, minimum age requirements or requirements for mandatory all-inclusive resorts and/or all-inclusive packages (as set out in Section 11.4 below).

9. Limitations on RCl's Ability to Fulfill Particular Exchange Requests.

9.1. RCl's ability to confirm a specific Exchange Request depends upon such factors as but not limited to the Vacation Time Deposited by Members, restrictions imposed by Affiliated Resorts and other Inventory providers, exchange system priorities, promotional programs and the Deposit Trading Power of a Member's Vacation Time. RCI therefore cannot guarantee specific resort choices, travel dates, or types or sizes of accommodations. Neither RCI nor any Affiliated Resort personnel represent that specific resort choices, travel dates or types or sizes of accommodations can be guaranteed through the Program.

9.2. Members are encouraged to submit Exchange Requests as far as possible in advance of requested travel dates. Members are also encouraged to request seasons and unit occupancies that are the same or similar as the season and unit occupancy of their Deposited Vacation Time. If the requested travel dates, resort choices and/or designated number of bedrooms are not available, Members may be offered alternative choices based upon availability.

10. Fees Due to RCI.

10.1. In consideration for the Program Benefits, each Member agrees to pay RCI fees in an amount determined by RCI. The payment of all fees due to RCI is a condition of renewal or reactivation of membership. RCI reserves the right to refuse to renew or reactivate any membership, at its sole discretion. All Program fees must be paid when due.

10.1.1. Members must pay, or a developer or Affiliated Resort must pay on a Member's behalf, an annual subscription fee to RCI for membership in the Program ("Annual Membership Fee").

10.1.2. Members may renew or extend their memberships by forwarding to RCI the applicable Annual Membership Fee in the amount posted on www.rci.co.za. Members may opt to enroll in a program to automatically renew their Membership Fee.

10.1.3. During the Membership period, Members are responsible for payment to RCI of all other fees described in these Terms and Conditions, as well as any other applicable fees, in the amounts set by RCI for its Members and disclosed on its website at www.rci.co.za.

10.1.4. RCI in its sole discretion may charge Members in their local currency and may further require payment in such local currency. Fees may vary from time to time due to the inclusion of applicable government charges or taxes. From time to time and as determined by RCI in its sole discretion, RCI may increase, waive, reduce or discount any of its fees or prices.

11. Obligations and fees due to others.

11.1. Affiliated Resorts and Inventory providers may impose their own limitations, by-laws and rules regarding occupancy limits for particular accommodations, resort behavior, and other issues. Each Member and/or guest must comply with Affiliated Resorts' and Inventory providers' limitations, bylaws and rules.

11.2. Member and their guests must comply with check-in and check-out times. Unless a Member and/or guest informs the check-in desk at a particular Affiliated Resort or the Inventory provider that they anticipate checking in later than the arrival time designated within a Confirmation, the arriving Member or guest risks forfeiture of such confirmation and the Deposit used to make such confirmation.

11.3. Members and guests are responsible for occupying and using any accommodations into which they or their guests have exchanged, or to which Members or guests otherwise have access, in a responsible, careful and secure manner and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Affiliated Resort or Inventory provider. Members and guests are responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes, port charges, gratuities, personal expenses, utility charges, security deposits, and other fees or charges levied with respect to Vacation Time at an Affiliated Resort or Inventory provider, for the use of amenities and facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Members are ultimately responsible for any damage, theft or loss, and/or expenses incurred or caused by themselves and/or their guests.

11.4. If a Member's Exchange Request is confirmed for Vacation Time at an all-inclusive resort or for an all-inclusive package the Member understands that use of that Confirmed Exchange may require payment of additional fees to the all-inclusive resort for food, beverages or other amenities (the "All-inclusive Fees"), under the separate terms and conditions set by that Affiliated Resort or Inventory provider. Any such All-Inclusive Fees, terms and conditions are determined solely by the Affiliated Resort or Inventory provider, and are subject to change at any time. The Affiliated Resort or Inventory provider may require payment for All-Inclusive Fees before or upon check-in. Member acknowledges responsibility for confirming in advance with the Affiliated Resort or Inventory provider whether such All-Inclusive Fees apply and agrees to be liable to pay such All-Inclusive Fees.

12. Withdrawing Vacation Time.

12.1. Members may request withdrawal of Deposited Vacation Time from the Program, which RCI may withdraw at its sole discretion and only if:

12.1.1 any Vacation Time or a portion thereof has not been assigned to another Member or other third party by RCI;

12.1.2 the Member has not received an Exchange Confirmation as a result of the Deposited Vacation Time, or Deposit Credit or any portion thereof; and subject to the Affiliate's consent.

12.2. Once withdrawn, Vacation Time may not be re-Deposited unless RCI chooses, in its sole discretion, to accept such re-Deposit. Fees for re-Depositing may be applicable.

13. Losing the opportunity to exchange Vacation Time.

13.1. There are some circumstances in which Members can lose the opportunity to exchange Vacation Time they have Deposited with RCI:

13.1.1. A Member may lose the use of Deposited Vacation Time, and be ineligible to receive a confirmed Exchange for that Deposited Vacation Time, if the Member does not properly submit an Exchange Request and/or does not accept an alternative available resort choice and/or travel date within three (3) years after the date of the Deposit.

13.1.2. A Member may lose the right to exchange Vacation Time if

           the Affiliated Resort, its developer or owners' association or Inventory provider fails or is unable to perform any contractual obligations to RCI; or

(b)          if the Affiliated Resort's affiliation agreement with RCI expires without renewal or is   terminated either by RCI or by the Affiliated Resort.

13.1.3. RCI reserves the right (without providing a refund or credit) to cancel a Confirmation, cancel an Exchange Request, or otherwise deny the exchange privileges of any Member whose payment is rejected by the Member's bank or credit card company, or who has failed to meet the obligations described herein.

13.1.4. Cancellation, termination or suspension of a membership pursuant to Section 24.
