2 Bluewater by Spinnaker FLEXIBLE/FLOATING TIME USAGE GUIDE AND RESERVATION PROCEDURES Bluewater by Spinnaker does everything possible to maximize the flexibility of vacation leasehold ownership making it as beneficial as possible for you. The Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval which you purchased is known as "Floating Time." Instead of being locked into vacationing during the same week year after year, you are able to reserve different weeks each year (or during your odd, even, or triennial year). Few of us know years in advance which week of the year we would choose to vacation. "Floating Time" enables member to choose a week in your unit type during each year of your leasehold ownership. You may reserve a week on a first come first serve basis, subject to the reservation procedures listed below. To ensure fairness to all Bluewater by Spinnaker leasehold members, "Floating Time" reservations should be made as far in advance as possible. Reservations must be made a minimum of 30 days in advance and not more than 360 days in advance of the desired week of occupancy at Bluewater by Spinnaker. Multiple week members owning more than one annual usage week may reserve their float usage not more than 390 days in advance for consecutive week usage. Reserving your usage week six to twelve months in advance will better enable you to obtain the specific week you wish to use. Members who choose to stay at their home resort will be given priority over any other usage types. Please refer to the DETAILED Flexible/Floating Usage Guide pertaining to the Spinnaker PREMIER Internal Owner Exchange Program reservation parameters (page 3). All float members must contact Bluewater by Spinnaker Flexible Time Reservation Department in writing, by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in order to schedule an available week of time for the member during their usage year (annual, odd, even or triennial year). All reservation requests must be in writing. Go online at click RESERVATIONS in the upper right corner to submit your reservation request online or your request directly to res@spinnakerresorts.com. Fax and mail written owner requests are also permitted. Fax (843) , or mail to Southwind Management Corp. P.O. Box 6685, Hilton Head Island, SC If member wishes to spacebank with Interval International they must contact the Bluewater by Spinnaker Flexible Time Reservation Department as noted above for a usage week to be deposited to member s Interval International account. Reservations may be made as far as two years in advance. If member spacebanks two years in advance with Interval International, a specific request must be made to the Bluewater by Spinnaker Flexible Time Reservations Department and requests are conditional upon all membership fees and loan fees being current and a payment of the estimated membership fees for the second year. A written/ ed reservation confirmation will be sent to all members that have requested a reservation. Each member is responsible for ensuring that a written reservation confirmation is received.

3 FLEXIBLE/FLOATING TIME USAGE GUIDE (Detailed) The leasehold usage rights acquired by each Member pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Declaration and the Membership and Lease Agreement entered into between said Member and the Seller consist of seven (7) days of occupancy/usage of a Unit in Bluewater by Spinnaker, commencing on Sunday at 4:00 pm on the first day of usage and terminating at 10:00 am on the following Sunday. The Seller reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to establish Friday to Friday usage, Saturday to Saturday usage, and Sunday to Sunday usage. Members acquire leasehold usage rights for annual year usage, odd year, even year or triennial year usage (depending upon the type of vacation timesharing leasehold interest purchased by the Member). The specific designation of the Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Alternate Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Triennial Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval purchased by the Member will allow the Member to reserve usage in a Unit in Bluewater by Spinnaker (pursuant to the reservation system set forth in this Declaration, as amended) in a particular type of unit (two bedroom or three bedroom unit) on an annual basis, odd year basis, even year basis or triennial year basis (depending upon the type of Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval purchased). The rights of all Members to use and enjoy their Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Alternate Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Triennial Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval shall be exclusively governed by the "first requested, first confirmed" reservations system which is more fully described herein despite the fact the Member may otherwise have purchased a specifically designated week in a specifically designated Interval. In other words, the designation of the Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Alternate Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Triennial Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval identified on the Member s Membership and Lease Agreement is solely used for identification purposes of the unit type to which the Member will have usage rights (two or three bedroom unit) and the time periods of usage (annual, odd years, even years or triennial years); the Member is not purchasing the right of usage in a particular unit and/or week and the numerical designation on the Membership and Lease Agreement shall not be construed to give the Member usage in a particular unit and/or week. Upon compliance with the provisions of that "first requested, first confirmed" reservations system discussed below, Members will receive an accommodations confirmation in a particular Unit in the Regime which is comparable in nature to that Unit which is the subject of the Member s Membership and Lease Agreement. For the purposes of the Declaration, a comparable Unit is one possessing the same number of bedrooms as the Unit which is otherwise referenced in the Member s Membership and Lease Agreement, without regard to the building, floor or location upon a floor of the Unit. Usage of a Unit commences at 4:00 pm on the Sunday designated as first date of occupancy and terminates at 10:00 am on the following Sunday (that being the last day of occupancy by the Member). Reservation System. The administrative operation of the reservation system set forth herein shall be the sole and exclusive obligation of the Seller and has been delegated to a management company (Southwind Management Corp.). All Members must contact the Bluewater by Spinnaker Flexible Time Reservations Department in writing, by facsimile transmission, or by electronic mail in order to schedule an available week of time for the Member during a particular year (annual, odd year, even year, or triennial year usage) as is more fully described below during which the Member s occupancy may be scheduled. Members scheduling a reservation in Page 3

4 advance are more likely to reserve more desirable occupancy times than Members delaying their reservation requests. Reservation requests will be honored by the Bluewater by Spinnaker Flexible Time Reservations Department in the order in which they are received. A written reservation confirmation will be mailed/ ed to all Members requesting reservations. Each Member is responsible for insuring that a written reservations confirmation is received. Confirmations will be mailed/ ed no later than fifteen (15) days after confirmation. All Members are required to bring their confirmation with them and present same upon check in. Members are encouraged to call the Reservations Department two weeks prior to check in to insure that their confirmation remains unmodified. Reservation Time Periods. Reservation requests may be made Three Hundred Sixty (360) days prior, and not less than Thirty (30) days prior, to the first day of the usage week. Multiple week members owning more than one annual usage week may reserve their float usage no more than Three Hundred Ninety (390) days in advance for consecutive week usage. To provide maximum owner satisfaction and the opportunity for Spinnakers Owners to occupy the resorts during peak times an Owner Only Use Period has been established (Week including Memorial Day through Week Including Labor Day). The Owner Only Use Period is defined as the seven (7) day period commencing the Saturday/Sunday before Memorial Day and ending the Saturday/Sunday after Labor Day. During the Owner Only Use Period rental and/or banking activity is restricted. Additionally, during this period, Owners are restricted from making a float reservation that repeats in consecutive years. Repeat float reservations are defined as any seven (7) day period or period that includes four (4) or more of the identical calendar days of their stay in the prior year. The Seller reserves the right to change the reservation time periods as appropriate. Spinnaker PREMIER Internal Owner Exchange Exclusive offer to Bluewater, Royal Floridian South and Palace View Heights The Spinnaker PREMIER Internal Owner Exchange program provides usage privileges at Bluewater, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina; Royal Floridian South, Ormond Beach, Florida and Palace View Heights, Branson, Missouri (PVH usage slated for 2012). This program has been designed to ensure that your home Bluewater reservation has exclusive reservation advantage from 360 days to 181 days over requests by non home resort owners (RFS, PVH) however offers members the advantage of vacationing at Spinnaker s three Premier resorts. All Spinnaker Premier Internal Owner Exchange member(s) reservation requests can be made 180 days and not less than 30 days prior to the first day of the usage week based upon availability at any Premier resort. Bluewater membership unit size and sleeping capacity is an exchange criterion. A 3 bedroom member may reserve to a 3, 2 or 1 bedroom unit, a 2 bedroom member may reserve a 2 or 1 bedroom unit and a 1 bedroom member may reserve a 1 bedroom unit at the Spinnaker Premier Internal Owner Exchange resort locations, based upon availability. Effect of Reservation Delays. Members delaying their reservation requests may lose their rights to use their accommodations entitlement for any calendar year should an occupancy be unavailable for reservation due to lack of availability of the desired week (due to prior reservation). However, the Seller warrants that the number of weeks available on an annual basis for usage by the Members shall be of a sufficient number so as to accommodate all Members of Bluewater by Spinnaker during any given year (so long as the Members make their reservations in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements contained herein). The Seller reiterates to each Member that it makes no warranty or guaranty that a Member will be assigned the week which he/she desires; however, the program is such that the requisite number of weeks are available to accommodate all Members on an annual basis (so long as the Members make reservations set forth herein). In the event a Member loses their rights to use their accommodations entitlement for any calendar year should an occupancy be unavailable for reservation due to lack of availability of the desired week, neither the Seller, nor its respective successors, assigns and/or affiliates are obligated to make alternative arrangements, or to excuse or waive the payment of appropriate Assessment Fees, or to Page 4

5 Usage. It is to be noted that the Seller may affiliate Bluewater by Spinnaker with a timeshare exchange company from time to time. Interval International ("II") is currently the affiliated timeshare exchange company. II or the then affiliated timeshare exchange company for Bluewater by Spinnaker reserves the right to modify its seasonal week allocations (if any). Carry Over. No Member shall be allowed to carry over into a subsequent year any accommodation use rights which the Member failed to schedule during a specific calendar year or was otherwise unable to schedule due to lack of availability. Designation of Principal Contact. Should more than one Member own a Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or an Alternate Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval, or a Triennial Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval, or in the event a Member is a corporation, a trust, or another legal entity, then a "Principal Contact" shall be established from time to time by the Member and shall provide notification to the Seller in writing. The Principal Contact shall be the person solely responsible for making reservations in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Confirmations. Written/ ed confirmation shall be forwarded to all Members regarding all accommodations reservations made pursuant to this Declaration. While special accommodation assignments, such as ground level accommodations, may be requested, and while the Seller will endeavor to accommodate these requests, such special requests cannot be guaranteed. Before a Member may rent to a third party or exchange with an exchange company a confirmed Interval accommodation, the Member must first receive a written/ ed confirmed reservation from the Seller. Members are encouraged to contact the Seller immediately should they not receive a written/ ed accommodations confirmation within thirty (30) days after the date upon which the reservation request was made. Cancellations and Modifications. Once a reservation has been made by a Member, the Member may change (subject to availability) that reservation upon the payment to the Seller of that rescheduling fee which the Seller may determine from time to time. The rescheduling fee currently is $50.00 per reservation change. Annual Membership Fee Delinquencies. No Member shall be allowed to reserve accommodations under the reservation guideline unless that Member is otherwise current with the payment of all Annual Membership Fees which he/she is obligated to pay the Seller. Moreover, no Member may make reservations hereunder if that Member is otherwise delinquent in connection with any financial obligations owed to the Seller. Thirty Day Period. If no Member places a hold for a reservation within a specific Interval week thirty (30) days prior to the first day that the Interval week is scheduled to begin the Seller reserves the right to limit the availability of such Interval weeks subject to the following: Page 5

6 (A) Interval week availability may be withheld if the Seller has otherwise rented the Interval week on behalf of the Seller to a third party. Net rental proceeds received on behalf of the Seller shall be used to offset Seller expenses: (B) Interval week availability may be withheld if the Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, has withheld the specified Interval week for: i. Members who have failed to reserve Interval weeks in a timely fashion and who have no other use alternative; or ii. Members who have cancelled previously existing confirmations due to unique and unusual circumstances and who risk losing usage of a unit week for the subject calendar year Amendment by Seller. The Seller reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of the reservation system from time to time as may be necessary in the opinion of this Seller to improve upon the quality and operation of the reservation system and to further the collective enjoyment of the use of the Intervals. General Provisions Regarding Usage. No Member may occupy a Unit, or exercise any other rights of ownership in respect of the Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Alternate Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Triennial Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval other than the rights provided to him in this Declaration and in the Membership and Lease Agreement. Each Member shall keep the Unit and all Common Furnishings contained therein in good condition and repair during his Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Alternate Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval or Triennial Year Vacation Timesharing Lease Interval, vacate the Unit at the expiration of his usage period, remove all persons and personal property there from (excluding the Common Furnishings), leave the Unit in good and sanitary condition and repair, and otherwise comply with such reasonable checkout and other procedures as may from time to time be contained in rules promulgated by the Seller or by the Association. The Management Company shall have the right to reserve, at any time, any week it chooses for each Unit each year (one week per Unit annually), in its sole discretion, for maintenance purposes. ******************* On behalf of all of our owners; the association has the obligation to protect itself and its members from unpaid assessment fees. Owners who choose to sell or transfer their timeshares to third parties (to persons or entities) will be required to contact the management company prior to any transfer of ownership so that the proposed transferee is verified to be a bona fide purchaser of the timeshare interest. Otherwise, the transfer can be deemed as invalid and of no effect, and the present owner will remain liable for all future assessment fees for the timeshare interval. Reservations will be denied for any unpaid assessment fees. Inter-family transfers or owners wishing to transfer into their trust for estate planning purposes are exempt from the Timeshare Transfer Policy. It is the Spinnaker family belief and that of your association that legacy is an important part of our business and a tremendous asset for the future generation. Page 6
