THE INTERNAL REORGANIZATION

Section 2.1 Internal Reorganization. Except as provided in Section 2.2(b) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and effective as of the Business Transfer Time, to the extent not previously effected, the Parties shall:

(a) cause the Internal Reorganization to be completed, subject to Section 2.2(b), in all respects in accordance with the plan and structure set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) (such plan and structure, the “Step Plan”); provided, that Starwood may implement the Internal Reorganization hereunder in any other manner that Starwood determines is necessary, appropriate, advisable or desirable; provided, further, that Starwood shall (i) provide ILG and Vistana with at least seventy-two (72) hours’ notice prior to any change in the implementation of the Internal Reorganization other than as contemplated by the Step Plan, (ii) consider in good faith any comments regarding such proposed changes provided by ILG or Vistana in writing within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such notice, and (iii) reimburse and indemnify ILG and Vistana for any incremental costs or liabilities incurred by any member of the Vistana Group as a result of any change in the implementation of the Internal Reorganization other than as contemplated by the Step Plan;

(b) execute such instruments of assignment and transfer and take such other corporate actions as are necessary to transfer to the Vistana Group all of the right, title and interest to all Vistana Assets (other than the Purchased Assets) to the extent that such transfer was not previously effected pursuant to the Internal Reorganization and take all actions necessary to cause the Vistana Group to assume all of the Vistana Assumed Liabilities (other than the Liabilities related to the Purchased Assets) to the extent that such assumption was not previously effected pursuant to the Internal Reorganization; and

(c) execute such instruments of assignment and transfer and take such other corporate actions as are necessary to transfer to the Starwood Group all of the right, title and interest to all Starwood Transferred Assets to the extent that such transfer was not previously effected pursuant to the Internal Reorganization, and take all actions necessary to cause the Starwood Group to assume all of the Starwood Assumed Liabilities to the extent that such assumption was not previously effected pursuant to the Internal Reorganization.

(d) In the event that at any time or from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Business Transfer Time), any member of the Starwood Group or the Vistana Group, respectively, is the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Vistana Asset or Starwood Transferred Asset, as the case may be (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts receivable) or Vistana Assumed Liability or Starwood Assumed Liability, as the case may be, that is allocated to a member of the Starwood Group or the Vistana Group, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the applicable Party shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Vistana Asset, Starwood Transferred Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability or Starwood Assumed Liability to the Person so entitled thereto or responsible therefor. Prior to any such transfer, such Vistana Asset, Starwood Transferred Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability or Starwood Assumed Liability shall be held in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

Section 2.2 Consents.

(a) To the extent that the consummation of the Internal Reorganization, the Asset Purchase or the Distribution requires any Consents from any third parties (including any Governmental Authorities), each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly such Consents; provided, that, with respect to Consents from third parties (other than Governmental Authorities) required under existing Contracts, such efforts shall not include any requirement or obligation to make any payment to any such third party or assume any Liability not otherwise required to be paid or assumed by the applicable Party pursuant to the terms of an existing Contract or offer or grant any financial accommodation or other benefit to such third party not otherwise required to be made by the applicable Party pursuant to the terms of an existing Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, the required efforts and responsibilities of the Parties (i) to seek the Consents necessary to provide the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) shall be governed by the Transition Services Agreement and (ii) to seek approval pursuant to the HSR Act or other Competition Laws (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the ILG Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be governed by the Merger Agreement. The obligations set forth in this Section 2.2(a) shall terminate on the one (1)-year anniversary of the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2(a) to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement

shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to transfer any Vistana Asset, including any Contract, permit or other right, if an attempted transfer thereof, without the Consent of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), would constitute a breach or other contravention under any agreement to which any Starwood Entity or any Vistana Entity is a party or any Law or by which any Starwood Entity or any Vistana Entity is bound, or would in any way adversely affect the rights, upon transfer or otherwise, of any Vistana Entity under such Vistana Asset.

(b) Transfers and Assumptions Not Consummated Prior To or At the Business Transfer Time. If the transfer or assumption (as applicable) of any Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability intended to be transferred or assumed (as applicable) is not consummated prior to or at the Business Transfer Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.2(a) or for any other reason (including any misallocated transfers subject to Section 2.1(d)), then, the Distribution shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV, nevertheless take place on the terms set forth herein, and, insofar as reasonably practicable (taking into account any applicable restrictions or considerations relating to the contemplated Tax treatment of the Transactions) and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Person retaining such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability, as the case may be, (i) shall thereafter hold such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability, as the case may be, in trust for the use and benefit and burden of the Person entitled thereto (and at such Person’s sole expense) until the consummation of the transfer or assumption (as applicable) thereof (or as otherwise determined by Starwood and Vistana, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(a)); and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Person to whom such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability is to be transferred or assumed (as applicable) (at the expense of the Person to whom such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability is to be transferred or assumed (as applicable)) in order to place such Person in substantially the same position as if such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability had been transferred or assumed (as applicable) as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability, as the case may be, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, any Tax liabilities in respect thereof and dominion, control and command over such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability, as the case may be, are to inure from and after the Business Transfer Time to the Person to whom such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability is to be transferred or assumed (as applicable). Any Person retaining any Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assumption (as applicable) of such Vistana Asset, Vistana Assumed Liability, Starwood Transferred Asset, or Starwood Assumed Liability, as the case may be, shall not be required, in connection with the foregoing, to make any payments, assume any Liability, or offer or grant any accommodation or other benefit (financial or otherwise) to any third party, except to the extent that the Person entitled to the Vistana Asset or Starwood Transferred Asset, or responsible for the Vistana Assumed Liability or Starwood Assumed Liability, as applicable, agrees to reimburse and make whole the Person retaining a Vistana Asset or Starwood Transferred Asset, or a Vistana Assumed Liability

or Starwood Assumed Liability, to such Person’s reasonable satisfaction, for any payment or other accommodation made by the Person retaining a Vistana Asset or Starwood Transferred Asset, or a Vistana Assumed Liability or Starwood Assumed Liability, at the request of the Person entitled to the Vistana Asset or Starwood Transferred Asset or responsible for the Vistana Assumed Liability or Starwood Assumed Liability. The obligations set forth in this Section 2.2(b) shall terminate on the one (1)-year anniversary of the Distribution Date.

Section 2.3 Termination of Intercompany Agreements; Settlement of Intercompany Accounts.

(a) Termination of Intercompany Agreements. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c), Vistana, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Vistana Group, on the one hand, and Starwood, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Starwood Group, on the other hand, shall terminate, effective as of the Business Transfer Time, any and all Intercompany Agreements. No such terminated Intercompany Agreement (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Business Transfer Time and all parties shall be released from all Liabilities thereunder. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing. The Parties, on behalf of the members of their respective Groups, hereby waive any advance notice provision or other termination requirements with respect to such Intercompany Agreements.

(b) Exceptions to Termination of Intercompany Agreements. The provisions of Section 2.3(a) shall not apply to any of the following Intercompany Agreements (or to any of the provisions thereof):

(i) this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and each other Contract expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be entered into or continued by any of the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups);

(ii) any Contracts to which any Person other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates is a party;

(iii) any Contracts to which any non-wholly-owned Subsidiary of Starwood or Vistana, as the case may be, is a party (it being understood that directors’ qualifying shares or similar interests shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned);

(iv) any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements among any Starwood Entity, any Vistana Entity and any of their respective employees, including any obligation not to disclose proprietary or privileged information; and

(v) any Contracts listed or described on Schedule 2.3(b)(v).

(c) Settlement of Intercompany Accounts. Other than Liabilities for payment and/or reimbursement for costs and other fees and charges relating to goods or services provided by any Starwood Entity to any Vistana Entity, or vice versa, prior to the Business Transfer Time in

the ordinary course of business, including under the Intercompany Agreements described in Section 2.3(b), and payment of the Mexican Distributions, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, all intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts between any Starwood Entity, on the one hand, and any Vistana Entity, on the other hand, in existence as of immediately prior to the Business Transfer Time and after giving effect to the Internal Reorganization and the Asset Purchase, shall be extinguished by the applicable Starwood Entities and the applicable Vistana Entities no later than the Business Transfer Time by (i) cancellation, forgiveness or release by the applicable obligor or (ii) one or a related series of payments, settlements, netting, distributions of and/or contributions to capital, in each case, as determined by Starwood and such that the Vistana Entities, on the one hand, and the Starwood Entities, on the other hand, do not have any further Liability to one another in respect of such intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, ILG shall cause each applicable Purchased Entity to pay its respective as-declared Mexican Distribution (denominated in Mexican Pesos) promptly after the Distribution Date.

(b) Estimated Financial Statements. Not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Distribution Date, Starwood shall deliver to ILG (i) a statement detailing the estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend (the “Estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend Statement”), (ii) if the Distribution Date is anticipated to occur after March 31, 2016, a statement detailing the estimated Surplus (the “Estimated Surplus”) or estimated Deficit (the “Estimated Deficit”), as applicable, and the Estimated Cash Accounts Balance (the “Estimated Post-3-31 Adjustment Statement”) and (iii) a statement detailing (x) the Maximum Purchased Note Purchase Price and (y) the estimated fair market value of each of the Purchased Entities (each, an “Estimated Entity FMV,” and collectively, the “Estimated Entity FMVs”) as of the Distribution Date (the “Estimated Valuation Statement,” and together with the Estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend Statement and Estimated Post-3-31 Adjustment Statement, subject to modification as contemplated below, the “Estimated Financial Statements” and each an “Estimated Financial Statement”), which Purchased Entities proposed to be sold to ILG Subsidiary Buyer pursuant to

and in accordance with Section 6.10(c) will be identified based on the amounts set forth in the Estimated Financial Statements, in the case of each of clauses (i) - (iii), calculated on a reasonable basis and in good faith. The Estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend Statement and Estimated Post-3-31 Adjustment Statement shall be prepared, with respect to the estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend and the Estimated Surplus or Estimated Deficit, as applicable, in a manner consistent with Annex A and Annex B, respectively, and using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of Annex A and Annex B, in each case, as described therein.

If ILG disputes any of the amounts set forth in the Estimated Financial Statements delivered to ILG (which disputes shall not apply to the Estimated Cash Accounts Balance and, to the extent relating to amounts set forth in the Estimated Valuation Statement, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply to amounts with respect to line items on Annex C identified as not subject to adjustment or the accounting methods, practices, principles, policies or procedures, classifications, judgments or valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of Annex C, but shall only apply to amounts with respect to line items on Annex C that are subject to adjustment), it shall deliver to Starwood within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof a statement describing in reasonable detail its dispute, and Starwood and ILG shall use their respective good faith efforts to resolve any dispute regarding such Estimated Financial Statement(s) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.

If Starwood and ILG are unable to agree to modifications at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date with respect to any disputed Estimated Financial Statement(s), then such disputed Estimated Financial Statement(s) as originally delivered to ILG by Starwood shall be utilized for purposes of determining the Distribution Date Payment and the assets to be sold and payments to be made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.10(c).

The Maximum Purchased Note Purchase Price included in the Estimated Valuation Statement pursuant to Section 3.4(b) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. Each of the Financial Information Statements (and the computations indicated thereon) delivered to Starwood by Vistana shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless Starwood, within thirty (30) days after delivery to Starwood of such Financial Information Statement, notifies Vistana in writing that Starwood disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor. During the thirty (30)-day period following receipt by Starwood of the Financial Information Statements, Vistana shall, promptly following a request of Starwood, provide Starwood with copies of all documents, work papers, schedules, memoranda, and records used by or prepared by Vistana or its Representatives in preparing the Financial Information Statements, and Vistana shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with Starwood in connection herewith. The Distribution Date Valuation Statement (and any computations indicated thereon) delivered to Vistana by KPMG shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless Vistana, within thirty (30) days after delivery to Vistana of such Distribution Date Valuation Statement, notifies Starwood in writing that Vistana disputes any of the amounts set forth therein (which disputes, to the extent relating to amounts set forth in the Distribution Date Valuation Statement, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply to amounts with respect to line items on Annex C identified as not subject to adjustment or the accounting methods, practices, principles, policies or procedures, classifications, judgments or valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of Annex C, but shall only apply to amounts with respect to line items on Annex C that are subject to adjustment), specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor. During the thirty (30)-day period

following receipt by Vistana of the Distribution Date Valuation Statement, Starwood shall, promptly following a request of Vistana, provide Vistana with, or cause KPMG to provide Vistana with, copies of all documents, work papers, schedules, memoranda, and records used by or prepared by KPMG or its Representatives in preparing the Distribution Date Valuation Statement, and Starwood shall, and shall instruct KPMG and its Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with Vistana in connection therewith. The Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and, if the Parties so resolve all disputes, then the Financial Information Statements (and the computations indicated thereon) and the Distribution Date Valuation Statement (and any computations indicated thereon), as applicable and, in each case, as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of any disputes, shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Parties do not reach agreement in resolving all disputes with respect to the Financial Information Statements within forty-five (45) days after notice is given to Vistana by Starwood pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 3.4(d) or if the Parties do not reach agreement in resolving all disputes with respect to the Distribution Date Valuation Statement within forty-five (45) days after notice is given to Starwood by Vistana pursuant to the fourth sentence of this Section 3.4(d), the Parties shall submit the applicable dispute(s) to BDO USA, LP or another mutually satisfactory nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Arbiter”) for resolution. Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after acceptance by the Arbiter with respect to any such dispute, the Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Vistana and Starwood (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include submissions by KPMG), and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any amounts with respect to line items on Annex C identified as not subject to adjustment or the accounting methods, practices, principles, policies or procedures, classifications, judgments or valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of Annex C, but shall only include amounts with respect to line items on Annex C that are subject to adjustment), and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Financial Information Statements and/or Distribution Date Valuation Statement, as applicable, which shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4(d) and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter shall be allocated to and borne by Vistana and Starwood based on the inverse of the percentage that the Arbiter’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Arbiter. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Arbiter awards $600 in favor of Starwood’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Vistana and 40% of the costs would be borne by Starwood.

(e) Post-Distribution Date Financial Information Adjustment Payment.

(i) Upon final determination of the Pre-3-31 Capital Spend (the “Distribution Date Pre-3-31 Capital Spend”) and, if the Distribution Date occurs after March 31, 2016, the Surplus (the “Distribution Date Surplus”) or Deficit (the “Distribution Date Deficit”), as applicable, and the Cash Accounts Balance (the “Distribution Date Cash Accounts Balance”), as provided in Section 3.4(d) above, (A) (x) if the Distribution Date Pre-3-31 Capital

Spend is greater than the Estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend, Vistana shall pay the amount of such excess to Starwood, and (y) if the Estimated Pre-3-31 Capital Spend is greater than the Distribution Date Pre-3-31 Capital Spend, Starwood shall pay to Vistana the amount of such excess, (B) (x) if the Distribution Date Surplus is greater than the Estimated Surplus, then Starwood shall pay the amount of such excess to Vistana and (y) if the Estimated Surplus is greater than the Distribution Date Surplus, then Vistana shall pay the amount of such excess to Starwood and if the Distribution Date Surplus becomes a Distribution Date Deficit, then Vistana shall pay the Distribution Date Deficit plus the amount of the Estimated Surplus it previously received from Starwood to Starwood, (C) (x) if the Distribution Date Deficit is greater than the Estimated Deficit, then Vistana shall pay the amount of such excess to Starwood and (y) if the Estimated Deficit is greater than the Distribution Date Deficit, then Starwood shall pay the amount of such excess to Vistana, and if the Distribution Date Deficit becomes a Distribution Date Surplus, then Starwood shall pay the Distribution Date Surplus plus the amount of the Estimated Deficit it previously received from Vistana to Vistana and (D) (x) if the Distribution Date Cash Accounts Balance is greater than the Estimated Cash Accounts Balance, then Vistana shall pay the amount of such excess to Starwood and (y) if the Estimated Cash Accounts Balance is greater than the Distribution Date Cash Accounts Balance, then Starwood shall pay the amount of such excess to Vistana. Notwithstanding whether it owes any other payments under this Section 3.4(e)(i), (1) Starwood shall pay to Vistana an amount equal to the amount that ILG Subsidiary Buyer is required to pay pursuant to Section 3.4(e)(ii)(A), if any, and (2) Vistana shall pay to Starwood an amount equal to the aggregate amount that SMSC and SHKH are required to pay pursuant to Section 3.4(e)(ii)(B), if any.

(ii) Upon the final determination of the Distribution Date Entity FMVs as provided in Section 3.4(d) above, (A) if the Distribution Date Entity FMV with respect to any Purchased Entity is greater than the Estimated Entity FMV with respect to such Purchased Entity, then ILG Subsidiary Buyer shall pay the amount of such excess to SMSC or SHKH, as applicable, and (B) if the Estimated Entity FMV with respect to any Purchased Entity is greater than the Distribution Date Entity FMV with respect to such Purchased Entity, then SMSC or SHKH, as applicable, shall pay the amount of such excess to ILG Subsidiary Buyer.

(iii) Each Person required to make any payment under this Section 3.4(e) shall make such payment promptly, but no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of final determination of the Pre-3-31 Distribution Date Capital Spend, Distribution Date Surplus or Distribution Date Deficit, as applicable, and the Distribution Date Cash Accounts Balance; provided, that each of Vistana and Starwood shall be entitled, at its election, to set-off any of the amounts payable by it under this Section 3.4(e) against other amounts owed to it under this Section 3.4(e) and pay to the other Party the amount of all sums due and owing following such set-off. For the avoidance of doubt, the set-off right in this Section 3.4(e)(iii), including any adjustments made to the amounts owing by Vistana or Starwood to such other Party pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.4(e)(i), is limited to amounts owing between Vistana and Starwood, and neither Vistana nor Starwood shall be entitled to include amounts payable by its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates in calculating sums due to or owing by it.

ARTICLE IV
THE DISTRIBUTION

Section 4.1 Form of Distribution. (a) Starwood may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect the Distribution in the form of either (i) a One-Step Spin-Off or (ii) an Exchange Offer (including any Clean-Up Spin-Off, as set forth below).

(b) If Starwood elects to effect the Distribution in the form of a One-Step Spin-Off, then the Starwood Board, in accordance with applicable Law, shall establish (or designate Persons to establish) a Record Date and the Distribution Date and Starwood shall establish appropriate procedures in connection with, and to effectuate in accordance with applicable Law, the Distribution. All shares of Vistana Common Stock held by Starwood on the Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Record Holders in the manner determined by Starwood and in accordance with Section 4.5(b).

(c) If Starwood elects to effect the Distribution as an Exchange Offer, Starwood shall determine the terms of such Exchange Offer, including the number of shares of Vistana Common Stock that will be offered for each validly tendered share of Starwood Common Stock, the period during which such Exchange Offer shall remain open, the procedures for the tender and exchange of shares and all other terms and conditions of such Exchange Offer, which terms and conditions shall comply with all securities Law requirements applicable to such Exchange Offer. In the event that Starwood’s stockholders subscribe for less than all of the Vistana Common Stock in the Exchange Offer, Starwood shall consummate the Clean-Up Spin-Off on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the Record Date for the Clean-Up Spin-Off shall be established as of such date in the same manner as provided in Section 4.1(b). The terms and conditions of any Clean-Up Spin-Off shall be as determined by Starwood and shall comply with the requirements of all applicable Laws; provided, however, that any shares of Vistana Common Stock that are not subscribed for in the Exchange Offer shall be distributed to Record Holders in the Clean-Up Spin-Off.

Section 4.2 Manner of Distribution. (a) To the extent the Distribution is effected as a One-Step Spin-Off, subject to the terms thereof, in accordance with Section 4.5(b), each Record Holder shall be entitled to receive for each share of Starwood Common Stock or Partnership Unit, as applicable, held by such Record Holder a number of shares of Vistana Common Stock equal to the total number of shares of Vistana Common Stock held by Starwood on the Distribution Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Starwood Common Stock or Partnership Units, as applicable, held by such Record Holder and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Starwood Common Stock and Partnership Units held by all Record Holders outstanding on the Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of unvested restricted shares granted under the Starwood Stock Plans will not receive any shares of Vistana Common Stock with respect to such Starwood unvested restricted shares.

(b) To the extent the Distribution is effected as an Exchange Offer, subject to the terms thereof, in accordance with Section 4.5(b), each Starwood stockholder may elect in the Exchange Offer to exchange a number of shares of Starwood Common Stock (other than unvested restricted shares granted under a Starwood Stock Plan) held by such Starwood

stockholder for shares of Vistana Common Stock. Subject to applicable securities Laws, Starwood shall determine, in its sole discretion, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the exchange ratio (including any discount to the reference price of common stock of Vistana), the timing of the offer period and any extensions thereto, and other customary provisions, each as will be set forth in the Vistana Registration Statement. The terms and conditions of any Clean-Up Spin-Off will be as determined by Starwood, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(a), mutatis mutandis.

(c) None of the Parties, nor any of their Affiliates hereto shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Vistana Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) that are properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 4.3 Actions Prior to Distribution.

(a) Vistana shall cooperate with Starwood to accomplish the Distribution, including in connection with the preparation of all documents and the making of all filings required in connection with the Distribution. Starwood shall be permitted to reasonably direct and control the efforts of the Parties in connection with the Distribution (including the selection of an investment bank or manager in connection with the Distribution, as well as any financial printer, solicitation and/or exchange agent and financial, legal, accounting and other advisors for Starwood), and Vistana shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things reasonably necessary to facilitate the Distribution as reasonably directed by Starwood in good faith and in accordance with the applicable terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Vistana shall and shall cause its Representatives to, as reasonably directed by Starwood in good faith, reasonably cooperate in and take the following actions: (i) preparing and filing the registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act of Vistana Common Stock on an appropriate registration form or forms to be designated by Starwood (including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Vistana Registration Statement”), (ii) participating in meetings, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions, management presentation sessions, and “road shows” in connection with the Distribution (including any marketing efforts), which participation shall be subject to, and may be concurrent with, any such activities required with respect to the Exchange Offer, (iii) furnishing to any dealer manager or other similar agent participating in the Distribution (A) “cold comfort” letters from independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters as are customary for an underwritten public offering (including with respect to events subsequent to the date of financial statements included in any offering document) and (B) opinions and negative assurance letters of counsel in customary form and covering such matters as may be reasonably requested, and (iv) furnishing all historical and forward-looking financial and other pertinent financial and other information that is available to Vistana and is reasonably required in connection with the Distribution.

(b) Starwood and Vistana shall prepare and mail, prior to the Distribution Date, to the Record Holders, such information concerning Vistana, ILG, their respective businesses, operations and management, the Distribution and such other matters as Starwood shall reasonably determine and as may be required by Law. Starwood and Vistana shall prepare, and

Vistana shall, to the extent required under applicable Law, file with the SEC any such documentation and any requisite no action letters which Starwood determines is necessary or desirable to effectuate the Distribution and Starwood and Vistana shall each use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary approvals from the SEC with respect thereto as soon as practicable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3(a) or Section 4.3(b), to the extent any mailing or filing contemplated by this Section 4.3 contains information concerning ILG, the Vistana Entities or any of their respective businesses, operations or management, ILG shall be provided with copies of, and given an opportunity to review and comment on, such documentation before it is mailed or filed, and no such documentation shall be so mailed or filed without ILG’s express approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Starwood and Vistana shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate under the securities or “blue sky” Laws of the United States (and any comparable Laws under any foreign jurisdiction) in connection with the Distribution.

(e) From the date of this Agreement up to and including the Distribution Date, Starwood shall, with respect to the Vistana Entities, and shall cause each of the Vistana Entities, to operate substantially in accordance with Annex A, including by effecting the material investments and capital expenditures substantially in accordance with Annex A, in each case, in the manner as would be conducted by a prudent owner and operator of a business of this kind. In furtherance thereof, except as contemplated by this Agreement (including the Internal Reorganization and the Asset Purchase), as disclosed in Section 7.02(a) of the Vistana Disclosure Schedule, as consented to by ILG in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied), or as required by Law, Starwood shall, with respect to the Vistana Entities, and shall cause each of the Vistana Entities, to:

(i) manage and operate its management accounts in good faith, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; provided, that each of Starwood and Vistana shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, as of the Distribution on the Distribution Date, each of the Vistana Entities set forth on Annex D holds an amount of cash equal to the amount set forth opposite such Vistana Entity’s name on Annex D (all such amounts in the aggregate the “Estimated Cash Accounts Balance”), plus or minus ten percent (10%) of each such amount, and plus the amount of the Mexican Distributions (denominated in Mexican Pesos);

(ii) not repurchase, repay, refinance or incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, other than indebtedness incurred in order to distribute to Starwood the amount, if any, by which the Distribution Date Payment exceeds the Asset Purchase Price, issue any debt securities, engage in any securitization transactions or similar arrangements or assume, guarantee or endorse, or otherwise as an accommodation become responsible for (whether directly, contingently or otherwise), the obligations of any Person (other than a Vistana Entity) for borrowed money;

(iii) with respect to the treatment of all trade creditors and related accounts of the Vistana Group, operate in good faith and in accordance with payment and

accounting practices that are in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, including by not delaying the payment of liabilities owed to such creditors that are not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; and

(iv) with respect to the treatment of all trade debtors and related accounts of the Vistana Group, operate in good faith and in accordance with invoicing and collections practices that are in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, including by not accelerating any payments to such debtors in advance of the due date of such payment that is owed in a manner not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the covenants and agreements of Starwood or its Affiliates (including the Vistana Entities) hereunder be construed as a representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement that any particular results of operations, financial condition or performance of the Vistana Business have occurred or will occur.

Section 4.4 Conditions to the Distribution. The obligations of Starwood pursuant to this Agreement to effect the Distribution shall be subject to the fulfillment or waiver by Starwood (other than with respect to Section 4.4(b), and Section 4.4(d) and Section 4.4(f) with respect to the obligations of Starwood and Vistana, each of which can be waived solely by ILG) on or prior to the Distribution Date of the following conditions:

(a) ILG shall have paid on behalf of ILG Subsidiary Buyer, or caused ILG Subsidiary Buyer to pay, the Asset Purchase Price;

(b) ILG Subsidiary Buyer shall have received all of the right, title and interest in, to and under the assets purchased in exchange for the Asset Purchase Price;

(c) Vistana shall have made a distribution (all or a portion of which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be made using funds borrowed by Vistana from ILG, subject to any such representations, covenants, terms and conditions as may be reasonably and mutually agreed upon by the Parties), if applicable pursuant to Section 6.10, in an amount equal to the Distribution Date Payment less the Maximum Asset Purchase Price;

(d) Each of ILG, Starwood and Vistana shall have complied (or shall have caused its applicable Subsidiaries to comply) in all material respects with its respective obligations under Section 6.10 (other than the obligations described in Section 4.4(a) and Section 4.4(b));

(e) Starwood and Vistana shall have prepared and mailed to the Record Holders such information concerning Vistana, its business, operations and management, the Distribution and such other matters as Starwood shall determine and as may otherwise be required by Law; provided, that to the extent any mailing contemplated by this Section 4.4(e) contains information concerning ILG, the Vistana Entities or any of their respective businesses, operations or management, ILG shall be provided with copies of, and given an opportunity to review and comment on, such documentation before it is mailed, and no such documentation shall be so mailed without ILG’s express approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and

(f) each of the parties to the Merger Agreement shall have irrevocably confirmed to each other that each condition to such party’s respective obligations to effect the Merger in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement has been satisfied or waived (other than the consummation of the Distribution and the conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Effective Time, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) and the Merger will be consummated immediately following the Distribution on the Distribution Date; provided, that, notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article IV to the contrary, the Parties agree that the Distribution Date shall occur on the same date as the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

Section 4.5 Additional Matters.

(a) Tax Withholding. Starwood, Vistana, or the transfer agent or the exchange agent in the Distribution, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under the Code or any provision of local or foreign Tax Law. Any withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto.

(b) Delivery of Certificate. Prior to the consummation of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer, Starwood shall deliver to the Agent, a global certificate representing the Vistana Common Stock being distributed in the One-Step Spin-Off or exchanged in the Exchange Offer, as the case may be, to be held in escrow for the account of the Starwood stockholders and Partnership Unitholders that are entitled thereto and pending the effective time of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer, as the case may be. Upon a Clean-Up Spin-Off, if any, Starwood shall deliver to the Agent an additional global certificate representing the Vistana Common Stock being distributed in the Clean-Up Spin-Off, to be held in escrow for the account of the Starwood stockholders and Partnership Unitholders that are entitled thereto pending the effective time of the Clean-Up Spin-Off. Upon and following the consummation of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer and the Clean-Up Spin-Off, as applicable, the Agent shall further hold such certificate or certificates, as the case may be, in escrow for the account of such Starwood stockholders and Partnership Unitholders pending the Merger. Such certificate or certificates, as the case may be, shall be cancelled effective upon the consummation of the Merger. Immediately after the time of the Distribution and prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Vistana Common Stock shall not be transferable and the Agent shall not transfer any shares of Vistana Common Stock. The Distribution shall be effective upon the date and time set forth in a written certificate signed by an officer of each of Starwood and ILG (which time shall be after the Business Transfer Time and prior to the Effective Time) to be delivered to the Agent prior to the effective time of the Distribution.

ARTICLE V
MUTUAL RELEASES; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 5.1 Release of Pre-Business Transfer Time Claims.

(a) Mutual Release. Except as provided in Section 5.1(c), effective as of the Business Transfer Time, Vistana does hereby, for itself and each wholly-owned Vistana Entity

and their respective Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, remise, release and forever discharge each Starwood Entity, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons that at any time prior to the Business Transfer Time have been stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, officers, agents or employees of Starwood or any such wholly-owned Starwood Entity (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Starwood Released Persons”), from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, existing or arising from or relating to any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Business Transfer Time, whether or not known as of the Business Transfer Time, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Internal Reorganization, the Asset Purchase and the Distribution. Without limitation, the foregoing release includes a release of any rights and benefits with respect to such Liabilities that each Vistana Entity and its respective Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, now has or in the future may have conferred upon them by virtue of any statute or common law principle which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party’s settlement with the obligor. In this connection, Vistana hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and it further agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness and it nevertheless hereby intends to release the Starwood Released Persons from the Liabilities described in the first sentence of this Section 5.1(a).

(b) Starwood Release. Except as provided in Section 5.1(c), effective as of the Business Transfer Time, Starwood does hereby, for itself and each wholly-owned Starwood Entity and their respective Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, remise, release and forever discharge each Vistana Entity, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and all Persons that at any time prior to the Business Transfer Time have been stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, officers, agents or employees of Vistana or any such Vistana Entity (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Vistana Released Persons”), from any and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, existing or arising from or relating to any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Business Transfer Time, whether or not known as of the Business Transfer Time, including in connection with the transactions and all other activities to implement the Internal Reorganization, the Asset Purchase and the Distribution. Without limitation, the foregoing release includes a release of any rights and benefits with respect to such Liabilities that each Starwood Entity and its respective Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, now has or in the future may have conferred upon them by virtue of any statute or common law principle which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have materially affected such party’s settlement with the obligor. In this connection,

Starwood hereby acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and it further agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that awareness and it nevertheless hereby intends to release the Vistana Released Persons from the Liabilities described in the first sentence of this Section 5.1(b).

(c) No Impairment. Nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) releases or shall release any Person from (nor impairs or will impair any right of any Person to enforce the applicable agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings relating thereto) the obligations under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, in each case in accordance with its terms. In addition, nothing in Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement or obligation among any members of the Starwood Group, on the one hand, and any members of the Vistana Group, on the other hand, that survives the Effective Time, or any other Liability that survives the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(ii) any Liability assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or any other Liability of any member of any Group under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement;

(iii) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement for claims brought against the Parties by third parties, and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements;

(iv) any Liability for which either Party is entitled to, and actually receives, indemnification from a third party to the extent that assignment, release or discharge of such Liability pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) would cause such third party indemnification obligations to be terminated;

(v) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 5.1; or

(vi) honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any Person who was a director, manager, officer or employee of such party on or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent that such director, manager, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, manager, officer or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to then-existing obligations; provided, however, that, to the extent applicable, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 shall determine whether any Party shall be required to indemnify the other in respect of the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action.

(d) No Actions as to Released Pre-Business Transfer Time Claims. Following the Business Transfer Time, no Party hereto shall make or permit any other member of its Group to

make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any member of the Group of the other Party, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(a), or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(b).

(e) General Intent. It is the intent of each of Starwood and Vistana, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 5.1, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Business Transfer Time, between or among Vistana or any member of the Vistana Group, on the one hand, and Starwood or any member of the Starwood Group, on the other hand (including any Contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Business Transfer Time), except as expressly set forth in Section 5.1(c). At any time, at the request of any other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

Section 5.2 Indemnification by the Vistana Group. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity or limitations of liability provisions of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Business Transfer Time, Vistana, and each member of the Vistana Group shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Starwood Indemnitees from and against, and shall reimburse such Starwood Indemnitees with respect to, any and all Liabilities that result from, relate to or arise, whether prior to, at or following the Business Transfer Time, out of any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the Vistana Business, including any failure of Vistana or any other member of the Vistana Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent applicable, comply with, promptly and in full, any Liability relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Vistana Business;

(b) the Vistana Assets and Vistana Liabilities;

(d) if Starwood elects to effect the Exchange Offer, any documents and information related to ILG expressly provided by ILG for inclusion in any documents and information delivered to the stockholders of Starwood and Partnership Unitholders in connection with the Exchange Offer or Clean-Up Spin-Off that otherwise would not have been delivered to such stockholders and Partnership Unitholders if Starwood had elected to effect the One-Step Spin-Off, and any Liabilities resulting therefrom; and

(e) the enforcement by the Starwood Indemnitees of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 5.2.

Section 5.3 Indemnification by Starwood. Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity or limitation of liability provisions of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Business Transfer Time, Starwood, and each member of the Starwood Group shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Vistana Indemnitees from and against, and shall reimburse such Vistana Indemnitees with respect to, any and all Liabilities that result from, relate to or arise, whether prior to or following the Business Transfer Time, out of any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the Starwood Business, including any failure of Starwood or any other member of the Starwood Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent applicable, comply with, promptly and in full any Liability relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Starwood Business;

(b) the Starwood Assets and the Starwood Liabilities;

(c) any breach by Starwood or any other member of the Starwood Group of any agreement or obligation to be performed by such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which, including any limitations on liability contained therein, shall be controlling);

(d) if Starwood elects to effect the Exchange Offer, any documents and information delivered to the stockholders of Starwood and Partnership Unitholders in connection with the Exchange Offer or Clean-Up Spin-Off that otherwise would not have been delivered to such stockholders and Partnership Unitholders if Starwood had elected to effect the One-Step Spin-Off, and any Liabilities resulting therefrom, except with respect to documents and information related to ILG expressly provided by ILG for inclusion therein or incorporated by reference therein; and

(e) the enforcement by the Vistana Indemnitees of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of (i) Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability for which indemnification is sought or (ii) other amounts recovered from any third party that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability (“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Party (the “Indemnitor”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in reduction of the related Liability. If the Indemnitee receives a payment (an

“Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from the Indemnitor in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitor an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this Section 5.4(a) require any Party to seek insurance or other third-party proceeds.

(b) An insurer that would otherwise be obligated to defend or make payment in response to any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit that it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.

Section 5.5 Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If the Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise becomes aware that a Person (including any Governmental Authority) other than a Starwood Entity or a Vistana Entity has asserted any claim or commenced an Action for which the Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”), then the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing as promptly as practicable thereafter. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and include any relevant written correspondence from the third party regarding the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnitee does not provide this notice of a Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitor shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such Indemnitee’s failure to give timely notice. The Indemnitee shall deliver copies of all documents it receives regarding the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnitor promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Indemnitee receives them.

(b) With respect to any Third-Party Claim:

(i) Unless the Parties otherwise agree and subject to the cooperation and consultation rights and obligations of the Parties described in Section 5.6, to the extent applicable, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitor receives notice of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.5(a), the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim (and, unless the Indemnitor has specified any reservations or exceptions and subject to this Section 5.5(b), seek to settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim), at its expense and with its counsel; provided, however, that the defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnitor (A) shall not, in the reasonable determination of the Indemnitee, affect the Indemnitee or any of its controlled Affiliates in a materially adverse manner (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Third-Party Claim relating to or arising in connection with any criminal proceeding, Action, indictment, allocation or investigation against Starwood or its Affiliates shall be

deemed materially adverse to Starwood, and any Third-Party Claim relating to or arising in connection with any criminal proceeding, Action, indictment, allocation or investigation against Vistana or its Affiliates shall be deemed materially adverse to Vistana), (B) shall with respect to a Third-Party Claim that solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages and not equitable relief and (C) shall not, in the reasonable determination of the Indemnitee’s counsel, result in a conflict between the positions of the Indemnitor and Indemnitee in conducting such defense. The Indemnitee may, at its expense, employ separate counsel and participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of the Third-Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnitor has assumed the defense. However, the Indemnitor shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel that the Indemnitee engages for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed (or is prohibited from assuming) the defense of the Third-Party Claim (other than for any period in which the Indemnitee did not notify the Indemnitee of the Third-Party Claim as required by Section 5.5(a)).

(ii) No Indemnitor shall consent to entry of a judgment or settle a Third-Party Claim without the applicable Indemnitee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. However, the Indemnitee shall consent to entry of a judgment or a settlement if it (A) does not include a finding or admission by the Indemnitee of a violation of Law or the rights of any Person, (B) involves only monetary relief which the Indemnitor has agreed to pay and could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact (financial or nonfinancial) on the Indemnitee, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (C) includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall not be required to consent to entry of a judgment or a settlement if it would permit an injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee.

(c) No Indemnitee shall admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, a Third-Party Claim without the Indemnitor’ s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Indemnitee releases the Indemnitor of such Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

Section 5.6 Additional Matters.

(a) With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which any Vistana Entity, on the one hand, and any Starwood Entity, on the other hand, may have Liability under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that shall preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to seek to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated therewith. The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third-Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to monitor or assist in the defense of such claims at its own cost.

(b) In the event of an Action that involves solely matters that are indemnifiable and in which (i) the Indemnitor is not a named defendant or (ii) any Indemnitee is a named defendant along with the Indemnitor, if either the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor so requests, the

Parties shall endeavor, in the case of clause (i), to substitute the Indemnitor for the named defendant and, in the case of clause (ii), cause the Indemnitee to be removed as a named defendant. If such substitution, addition or removal cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the rights and obligations of the Parties regarding indemnification and the management of the defense of claims as set forth in this Article V shall not be affected.

Section 5.7 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for under this Agreement is judicially determined to be unavailable, or insufficient to hold harmless the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability, then the Indemnitor, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee as a result of such Liabilities. The amount contributed by the Indemnitor shall be in such proportion as reflects the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in connection with the actions or omissions resulting in the Liability and any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) The Parties agree that any method of allocation of contribution under this Section 5.7 shall take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 5.7(a). The amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee to which the Indemnitor shall contribute shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee to investigate any claim or defend any Action. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 5.8 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Each of ILG and Starwood is an established business entity that has been represented by experienced counsel in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and intends and hereby agrees that this Article V sets forth the exclusive remedies and rights of the Parties following the Business Transfer Time in respect of the matters indemnified under this Article V, except that nothing contained in this Section 5.8 will impair any right of any Person (i) to specific performance under this Agreement, and (ii) to equitable relief as provided in Section 7.17 hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto hereby waives, for itself and their respective Affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other Party and its Affiliates, successors and assigns in respect of the matters indemnified under this Article V, arising under or based upon any Law other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article V and the right to seek the relief described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, indemnification, limitations on remedies and limitations on liabilities with respect to (i) the Intercompany Agreements set forth Schedule 2.3(b)(v), (ii) the Ancillary Agreements and (iii) any agreements or arrangements entered into after the Business Transfer Time between any member of the Vistana Group or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any member of the Starwood Group or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, in each case, shall be governed by the terms of such agreements or arrangements and not by this Article V.

Section 5.9 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of Starwood and Vistana and their respective Indemnitees under this Article V shall survive the Business Transfer Time and the sale or other transfer by any Party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by any Party of any Liabilities. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (b) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 5.10 Limitations of Liability. Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall Starwood, Vistana or any member of their respective Groups have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other Starwood Indemnitee or Vistana Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (a) to the extent that any such Liability resulted from any willful violation of Law or fraud by the party seeking indemnification or (b) for any indirect or punitive damages or any damages that are not, as of the Business Transfer Time, reasonably foreseeable (other than to the extent that the Indemnitee is liable for such damages under an order issued by a Governmental Authority in connection with a Third-Party Claim).

ARTICLE VI
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1 Further Assurances. Subject to the limitations of Section 2.2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing or causing to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable after the Execution Date. In addition, in the event that ILG Subsidiary Buyer does not receive, upon the consummation of the Asset Purchase, good, legal, valid and marketable title to any Purchased Asset, free and clear of all Liens (other than those Liens set forth in any Organizational Document of the applicable Purchased Entity or arising pursuant to applicable securities Laws or created by this Agreement or Liens created by or through ILG or any of ILG’s Subsidiaries), then Starwood shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, at Starwood’s sole cost and expense, all actions, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing or causing to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to remove any such Lien or to otherwise correct such title defect so as to ensure that ILG Subsidiary Buyer has good, legal, valid and marketable title to such Purchased Asset, free and clear of all Liens (other than those Liens set forth in any Organizational Document of the applicable Purchased Entity or arising pursuant to applicable securities Laws or created by this Agreement or Liens created by or through ILG or any of ILG’s Subsidiaries).

Section 6.2 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Except for any request for Information relating to adversarial Action or threatened adversarial Action by any Starwood Entity or Vistana Entity against any member of the other’s Group (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable thereto), and subject to Section 6.2(b), each of Starwood and Vistana, on behalf itself and the members of its respective Group, shall use reasonable efforts to provide, to the other Group, at

any time prior to, on or after the Business Transfer Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of the members of such Group that the requesting party reasonably requests (i) in connection with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting party (including under applicable securities or Laws in respect of Taxes) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting party, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative, Tax, insurance or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, investigation, litigation, Tax or other similar requirements, or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any agreement listed in Section 2.3(b) or any other agreements or arrangements entered into prior to the Business Transfer Time with respect to which the requesting party requires Information from the other Party in order to fulfill the requesting party’s obligations under such agreement or arrangement. The receiving party may use any Information received pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) solely to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the applicable obligations or requirements described in the immediately preceding sentence and shall otherwise take reasonable steps to protect such Information. Nothing in this Section 6.2 may be construed as obligating a Party to create Information not already in its possession or control. Each Party agrees that, after the Effective Time, Information provided to the other Party or its Group pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations in the applicable Confidentiality Agreements as if such Information were provided prior to the Business Transfer Time; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, for such purpose and after the Effective Time, the Vistana Entities shall be considered Representatives of ILG under the Vistana Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) If any Party determines that the exchange of any Information pursuant to Section 6.2(a) is reasonably likely to violate any Law or Contract, or waive or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, or attorney work-product protection, then such party shall not be required to provide access to or furnish such Information to the other Party; provided, however, that the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit compliance with Section 6.2(a) in a manner that avoids any such violation, waiver or jeopardy. Starwood and Vistana intend that any provision of access to or the furnishing of Information that would otherwise be within the ambit of any legal privilege shall not operate as a waiver of such privilege.

Section 6.3 Ownership of Information. The provision of Information pursuant to Section 6.2 shall not grant or confer rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

Section 6.4 Compensation for Providing Information. Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the party requesting Information pursuant to Section 6.2 agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, actually incurred in seeking, creating, gathering, copying and delivering such Information, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party.

Section 6.5 Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement from and after the Effective Time, each Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to retain all Information in accordance with its record retention policy as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or as modified in good faith thereafter; provided, that, to the extent that any Ancillary Agreement provides for a

longer retention period for certain Information, such longer period shall control. Starwood shall be entitled to retain a copy of the books and records of the Vistana Group relating to periods prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, to the extent required to satisfy Starwood’s legal or Contractual obligations, Starwood shall be entitled to retain original books and records relating to such periods, and shall provide Vistana with a copy of all such retained books and records. No Party shall destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information that any other Party may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement before the end of the period provided in the applicable record retention policy without first using its reasonable efforts to notify such other Party of the proposed destruction and giving such other Party the opportunity to take possession of such Information before it is destroyed. In the case of any Information relating to a pending or threatened Action (including any pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Authority) subject to a “litigation hold” known to any member of the Group that possesses relevant documents or records, such member shall issue and comply (or cause the applicable members of its Group to comply) with the requirements of such “litigation hold.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.02 of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern the retention of Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents relating thereto. No Party shall have any liability to any other Party if any Information is destroyed after reasonable efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.5.

Section 6.6 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights granted and obligations imposed under this Article VI shall be subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in the Merger Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreements.

Section 6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. From and after the Business Transfer Time, except in the case of an adversarial Action or threatened adversarial Action by any Starwood Entity or Vistana Entity against any member of the other’s Group (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable thereto), each Party, shall (a) cooperate and consult in good faith as reasonably requested in writing by the other Party with respect to (i) any Action, or (ii) any audit or any other legal requirement, in each case, whether relating to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise, and (b) use reasonable efforts to make available to such other party the former, current and future directors, managers, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group (whether as witnesses or otherwise) and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, managers, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.7 does not require a Party to take any step that would materially interfere, or that it reasonably determines could materially interfere, with its business. The requesting Party agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in connection with a request under this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8 Privilege; Conflicts of Interest.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Vistana Entities’ attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence with respect to any communications concerning any proposed sale, spin-off or other disposition of the Vistana Business or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or in lieu of any of the foregoing, and all information and documents covered by such privilege, protection or expectation shall be retained and controlled by Starwood, and may be waived only by Starwood. Vistana acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, that (i) the foregoing attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence shall not be controlled, owned, used, waived or claimed by the Vistana Entities upon consummation of the Distribution; and (ii) in the event of a dispute between any member of the Vistana Group and a third party or any other circumstance in which a third party requests or demands that the member of the Vistana Group produce privileged materials or attorney work-product of a Starwood Entity (including the privileged communications and attorney work-product covered by this Section 6.8), Vistana shall cause such member of the Vistana Group to assert such attorney-client privilege on behalf of the applicable Starwood Entity to prevent disclosure of privileged communications or attorney work-product to such third party.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence with respect to any communications concerning general business matters related to the Vistana Business and the Vistana Entities and arising prior to the Distribution for the benefit of both Starwood and the Vistana Entities (other than with respect to any communications concerning any proposed sale, spin-off or other disposition of the Vistana Business or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or in lieu of any of the foregoing) shall be subject to a joint privilege and protection between Starwood, on the one hand, and the Vistana Entities, on the other hand, and Starwood and the Vistana Entities shall have equal right to assert such joint privilege and protection and no such joint privilege or protection may be waived by (i) Starwood without the prior written consent of such Vistana Entity or (ii) by any Vistana Entity without the prior written consent of Starwood; provided, however, that any such privileged communications or attorney-work product, whether arising prior to, or after the Distribution Date, with respect to any matter for which a Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, shall be subject to the sole control of such party, which shall be solely entitled to control the assertion or waiver of the privilege or protection, whether or not such communications or work product is in the possession of or under the control of such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Xxxxx Day, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP (“Counsel”) and in-house counsel of Starwood represent only Starwood and not the Vistana Entities and that (A) any advice given by or communications with Counsel shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Starwood, (B) any advice given by or communications with in-house counsel of Starwood (to the extent it relates to any proposed sale, spin-off or other disposition of the Vistana Business or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or in lieu of any of the foregoing) shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Starwood, and (C) no other party has the status of a client of Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Starwood and Vistana (for itself and on behalf of the Vistana Group, including, after the Effective Time, the ILG Group) hereby agree that, in the

event that any dispute, or any other matter in which the interests of Starwood, its Affiliates and its direct and indirect equity holders, on the one hand, and the Vistana Group (including, after the Effective Time, the ILG Group), on the other hand, are adverse, arises after the Effective Time between the Vistana Group, on the one hand, and Starwood, its Affiliates and its direct and indirect equity holders, on the other hand, Counsel may represent Starwood, its Affiliates and its direct and indirect equity holders in such dispute, even though the interests of Starwood, its Affiliates and its direct and indirect equity holders may be directly adverse to one or more members of the Vistana Group (including, after the Effective Time, the ILG Group), unless Counsel formerly represented one or more of members of the Vistana Group in any matter substantially related to such dispute.

Section 6.9 Insurance.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the License Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Business Transfer Time, the Vistana Entities shall cease to be insured by the Starwood Group’s insurance policies or by any of their self-insured or captive insurance programs, except with respect to insurance policies providing coverage on an occurrence basis, including defense and indemnity benefits attributable to or arising from or under such policies or programs (such policies or programs, the “Pre-Closing Insurance Policies”). Any Starwood Entity may, to be effective at the Business Transfer Time, amend any insurance policies in the manner they deem appropriate to give effect to this Section 6.9; provided, that in no event shall a Starwood Entity be permitted to amend any insurance policy in any manner which would eliminate, reduce or otherwise limit coverage for any occurrence or action that occurred prior to the Distribution if such coverage was then available. Other than as stated in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.9(a), from and after the Business Transfer Time, Vistana shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for its operation of the Vistana Entities and the Vistana Business and for promptly providing evidence thereof, as may be required, to third parties under any Contract or lease; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Starwood and Vistana shall comply (and shall cause the members of its Group to comply) with the applicable requirements relating to insurance matters set forth in the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) From and after the Business Transfer Time, Vistana shall not, and shall cause the members of its Group not to, assert any right, claim or interest in, to or under any Pre-Closing Insurance Policies, other than any right, claim or interest that existed prior to the Business Transfer Time. From and after the Business Transfer Time, in the event any Vistana Entity incurs any Liabilities covered by “occurrence form” Pre-Closing Insurance Policies (“Pre-Closing Insurance Claims”), and notifies Starwood and/or the Insurer of such Pre-Closing Insurance Policies, in accordance with the notice provisions of such policies of such Pre-Closing Insurance Claim, Starwood shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, submit such Pre-Closing Insurance Claim to the applicable insurer following such notification. To the extent not covered by or payable under Pre-Closing Insurance Policies, Vistana shall be solely responsible to Starwood and its Subsidiaries for all costs, expenses and fees in connection with any Pre-Closing Insurance Claim, and for any deductibles, retentions, premium increases on any Pre-Closing Insurance Policies which are attributable to any Pre-Closing Insurances Claims submitted pursuant to this Section 6.9(b). Vistana shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, reasonably cooperate with Starwood or its applicable Subsidiaries or the applicable

insurer in the investigation, contesting, defense or settlement of such Pre-Closing Insurance Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Liabilities involving or related to Pre-Closing Insurance Claims that are in excess of insurance coverage therefor (net of any retention amounts, recovery costs, increases in premium and related deductible payable by Starwood or its Subsidiaries in connection therewith) under applicable Pre-Closing Insurance Policies shall not be the responsibility of Starwood or its Subsidiaries, unless otherwise required by this Agreement, including the provisions of Article V, (ii) Starwood or its Subsidiaries shall have the right, subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Pre-Closing Insurance Policy, to investigate, contest, assume the defense of or settle any Pre-Closing Insurance Claim and (iii) any amounts paid by an insurer and/or received by the Vistana Group pursuant to this Section 6.9(b) shall not constitute indemnifiable Liabilities under Article V, and the Vistana Group shall have no right to indemnification under Article V with respect to any such amounts. Furthermore, to the extent any Pre-Closing Insurance Claim has been brought under a Pre-Closing Insurance Policy by Starwood or its Subsidiaries, Vistana shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, from and after the Business Transfer Time, reasonably cooperate with Starwood or such Subsidiaries in the investigation, contesting, defense or settlement of any such Pre-Closing Insurance Claim.

(c) Subject to Starwood’s compliance with the applicable terms of this Section 6.9, the Starwood Group shall have no Liability to the Vistana Group whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of the Starwood Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, or the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Starwood and its Affiliates (other than the Vistana Entities) shall be entitled to receive and retain all Insurance Proceeds recovered or recoverable by any Party or any of its Group members in respect of restoration of the Los Cabos Resort, which shall be remitted promptly to Starwood after the Effective Time to the extent actually received by any of member of the ILG Group.

For the avoidance of doubt, payment of that portion of the Distribution Date Payment equal to the SAP Consent Fee shall be deemed to satisfy in full any and all payment obligations of ILG, the Vistana Group and their respective Affiliates in connection with the SAP Consent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(c) of the Transition Services Agreement.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall not apply to matters relating to Taxes or employees, employee benefits plans, and related assets and liabilities including pension and other post-employment benefit assets and liabilities, which shall be exclusively governed by the Tax Matters Agreement and Employee Matters

No waiver by any of the Parties of any breach hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(b) Subject to Section 7.7(c), this Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed by the Parties in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement.

(c) In addition, unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any waiver or amendment of this Agreement shall also require the written consent of ILG.

Section 7.8 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate without further action at any time before the Effective Time upon termination of the Merger Agreement. If terminated, no Party shall have any Liability of any kind to the other Party or any other Person on account of this Agreement, except as provided in the Merger Agreement.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Section 2.01 Employment.

(a) Transfer of Employees to Vistana. At or prior to the Business Transfer Time, Starwood shall take all steps necessary and appropriate so that all of the following Employees are transferred to the Vistana Entities: (i) each Employee (other than any Employees who are on long-term disability leave as of the Business Transfer Time) whose employment duties immediately prior to the Business Transfer Date relate exclusively to the Vistana Business and (ii) each Employee listed on Schedule 2.01(a) attached hereto (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Vistana Employees,” and each such Employee a “Vistana Employee”). Between the date hereof and the Business Transfer Date, Starwood and ILG may mutually agree to update, amend or supplement Schedule 2.01(a) attached hereto to correct any inadvertent inclusions and exclusions thereto. Starwood shall deliver the final Schedule 2.01(a), as amended, updated or supplemented by mutual agreement of the Parties subject to this Section 2.01(a), to ILG immediately prior to the Business Transfer Time.

(b) Employees of the Vistana Entities. Starwood shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, terminate the employment of any Employees of the Vistana Entities other than in the ordinary course of business and shall not transfer the employment of such Employees prior to the Closing Date except as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at or prior to the Business Transfer Time, Starwood shall take all steps necessary and appropriate so that the Employees of the Vistana Entities listed on Schedule 2.01(b) shall be transferred to Starwood. Between the date hereof and the Business Transfer Date, Starwood and ILG may mutually agree to update, amend or supplement Schedule 2.01(b) attached hereto to correct any inadvertent inclusions and exclusions thereto. Starwood shall deliver the final Schedule 2.01(b), as amended, updated or supplemented by mutual agreement of the Parties subject to this Section 2.01(b), to ILG immediately prior to the Business Transfer Time.

(d) Employment Agreements. At or prior to the Business Transfer Time, Starwood shall cause Vistana to assume and be solely and exclusively responsible for all Employment Agreements entered between the Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees and Starwood or any of its Affiliates that are listed on Schedule 2.01(d) and all obligations and liabilities with respect thereto, to be effective as of the Business Transfer Date, and on and after the Business Transfer Date Starwood and its

Affiliates (other than Vistana Entities) shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to such Employment Agreements. From and after the Closing Date, ILG shall, or shall cause Vistana to, assume and honor all liabilities and obligations to or in respect of the Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees (and any dependents or beneficiaries thereof) under all Vistana Benefit Plans and all Employment Agreements, severance, termination, consulting, retirement and other compensation and benefit plans, arrangements and agreements to which any Vistana Entity is a party, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Starwood shall take all steps necessary to terminate the Employment Agreement between Xxxxxxx Avril and Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc., dated April 13, 2015 prior to the Business Transfer Time without any payment by Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc. or any of the Vistana Entities, and ILG and the Vistana Entitles shall have no liability with respect to such employment agreement or the Consulting Agreement between MAE Business Enterprises, Inc. and Starwood, dated December 15, 2014, as amended.

(e) Comparable Benefits. For the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2016, ILG shall or shall cause Vistana to provide to each Vistana Employee (i) annual base salary, target bonus opportunities (as a percentage of base salary) and commission opportunities that are no less than the annual base salary, target bonus opportunities and commission opportunities, respectively, provided to such Vistana Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) employee benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to such Vistana Employee to those benefits provided to such Vistana Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date but excluding any defined benefit pension benefits, employer or matching contributions under any defined contribution retirement plan, equity compensation arrangement, stock purchase programs, retiree medical or insurance benefits, any benefits under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or employee discount program, (iii) severance benefit opportunities that are not less favorable to such Vistana Employee than the greater of (A) the severance benefit opportunities available to such Vistana Employee under such Vistana Employee’s offer letter (if listed on Schedule 2.01(d)) or (B) the severance benefit opportunities available to such Vistana Employee under Starwood’s severance benefit guidelines listed on Schedule 2.01(e), in each case immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) an opportunity to participate in the ILG Retirement Plan on substantially the same terms as similarly situated employees of ILG.

(f) Service Credit. From and after the Closing, ILG shall give each Vistana Employee full credit for determining the amount of paid time off, vacation or sick leave, and the level of employer contributions under any defined contribution retirement plan, and for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not benefit accruals (if applicable)) under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, defined contribution (for example, 401(k)), deferred compensation, savings, medical, dental, life insurance, disability, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements, post-retirement health and life insurance, termination indemnity, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by ILG or any of its Affiliates (including Vistana and its

Subsidiaries) under which such Vistana Employee is eligible to participate after the Closing for such Vistana Employee’s service with Starwood, Vistana or their Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, to the same extent recognized by any of Starwood, Vistana and their Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, neither ILG nor Vistana shall be required to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual purposes under any employee benefit plan of ILG that is a defined benefit pension plan.

Section 2.02 Retirement Plans.

(a) Starwood Retirement Plan. Effective on the Closing Date, Vistana Employees shall cease to be eligible to: (A) have elective deferrals contributed on their behalf to the Starwood Retirement Plan with respect to pay paid after the Closing Date, (B) be credited with future employer contributions (for example, matching contributions) in the Starwood Retirement Plan, or (C) make contributions (for example, rollovers or loan repayments) to the Starwood Retirement Plan. Starwood shall contribute to the applicable Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee accounts under the Starwood Retirement Plan the employer match true-up pursuant to Section 4.2(b) of such plan with respect to the completed plan year prior to the Closing Plan Year in the ordinary course but no later than the day before the Closing Date. Such employer match true-up shall be charged to and paid by Vistana pursuant to Starwood’s normal operating rules for the employer match true-up.

(b) ILG Retirement Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, ILG shall take, or cause to be taken, or have taken, all action necessary and appropriate to establish or maintain for the benefit of Vistana Employees (i) a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code that includes a cash or deferred arrangement qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code that is a participant-directed individual account plan that complies with Section 404(c) of ERISA, and (ii) a related trust or trusts exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code, each to be effective no later than the Closing Date (such plan and trust(s), the “ILG Retirement Plan”).

(c) Spin-Off of the Starwood Retirement Plan and Merger into the ILG Retirement Plan. Effective on the Closing Date, Starwood shall cause the Starwood Retirement Plan to spin off the portion of the Starwood Retirement Plan attributable to the Vistana Employees and Former Vistana Employees, as well as to any respective Plan Payees, such spinoff to include (but not be limited to) any and all such individual’s accounts, liabilities, related assets, unvested amounts, zero dollar accounts, forfeited accounts, unlocatable participant accounts and outstanding loan balances. Effective immediately thereafter, ILG or one of its Affiliates shall cause the ILG Retirement Plan to accept the merger of such spun-off portion of the Starwood Retirement Plan. All assets shall be transferred in cash as soon as administratively practicable thereafter and shall be mapped to appropriate investment options in the ILG Retirement Plan pursuant to Section 404(c)(4) of ERISA or to the appropriate qualified default investment fund under the ILG Retirement Plan pursuant

to Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA. Such spinoff and merger shall be conducted in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and Section 208 of ERISA. The benefits of the Vistana Employees participating in the Starwood Retirement Plan as of immediately prior to the plan merger described in this Section 2.02(c) shall be preserved in the ILG Retirement Plan effective as of the plan merger described in this Section 2.02(c) to the extent required under the anti-cutback rules of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code.

(d) Alternative to Spin-Off and Merger. Starwood represents that, with respect to the Starwood Retirement Plan (i) the plan is qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, (ii) Starwood has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualified status of the plan covering the terms of the plan as currently in effect, (iii) nothing has occurred since the date of such letter that would reasonably be expect to adversely affect the qualified status of the plan, and (iv) the plan has been administered materially in accordance with its terms and all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if events happen such that the representations made by Starwood set forth in the preceding sentence are not materially true and correct with respect to the Starwood Retirement Plan at any time prior to the Closing Date and have not been fully corrected by the Closing Date, then ILG may elect, in a written notice to Starwood delivered not later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, not to effectuate the transactions described in Section 2.02(c) (which shall be the only consequence of any such breach of Starwood’s representation in this Section 2.02(d)). In such case, after the Closing Date the Starwood Retirement Plan shall give each Vistana Employee, Former Vistana Employee, and any respective Plan Payee who has a vested account balance under the Starwood Retirement Plan at the Closing Date the opportunity to elect a distribution of the portion of such balance that would be an eligible rollover distribution within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code (including any outstanding loan notes that are not in default at the time of the rollover) (“eligible rollover distributions”) in the form of a direct rollover to the ILG Retirement Plan, pursuant to procedures and time frames agreed to by the parties to facilitate this process. The Starwood Retirement Plan shall arrange for a transfer of these direct eligible rollover distributions to the ILG Retirement Plan in one or more transmissions to occur no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date. ILG shall cause the ILG Retirement Plan and related trust to accept such rollovers (including such outstanding loan notes), except for any for which it has evidence that they are not in fact eligible rollover distributions. Vistana Employees, Former Vistana Employees, and any respective Plan Payees who do not take advantage of this rollover opportunity retain the right to make direct or indirect rollovers to the ILG Retirement Plan under its usual rules.

(e) Foreign Service Defined Benefit Plan.

(i) General. Starwood will, or will cause one of its Affiliates (other than Vistana Entities) to, assume or retain the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Retirement Plan for Foreign Service Employees (the “Foreign Service DB Plan”), which is a frozen plan.

(ii) Foreign Service DB Shortfall. Notwithstanding Section 2.02(e)(i) above, within seven (7) days following the Closing Date, ILG shall transfer to Starwood $180,000, which Starwood shall immediately contribute to the Foreign Service DB Plan. ILG and Vistana shall have no liability with respect to the Foreign Services DB Plan, other than as provided in the preceding sentence.

(f) Foreign Service Defined Contribution Plan. Starwood will, or will cause one of its Affiliates (other than Vistana Entities) to, assume or retain the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Defined Contribution Plan for Foreign Service Employees.

Section 2.03 Nonqualified Plans.

(a) Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan. Vistana Employees shall not be permitted to defer compensation to the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan on or after the Closing Date.

(b) Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective immediately prior to the Closing Date, Vistana shall take, or cause to be taken, or have taken, all action necessary and appropriate to establish for the benefit of Vistana Employees a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (such plan, the “Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan shall have terms and features that are substantially similar to the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan, other than with respect to investment options, such that (for the avoidance of doubt), the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan shall be substantially replicated by the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan, except that neither ILG nor Vistana shall be under any obligation to offer any employees the opportunity to make future deferral elections under such Plan, and if it does, neither ILG nor Vistana shall be under any obligation to make deferral elections available under the same terms as applied under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan. However, the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan shall honor deferral elections made by Vistana Employees in the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan before the Closing Date. Vistana shall designate one or more phantom investment options that are commercially reasonable for a nonqualified deferred compensation plan like the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan, the gains and losses and income and expenses of which shall be used to determine investment return equivalents by which the account of participants in the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan shall be adjusted. From and after the Closing Date, Vistana shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all obligations and liabilities with respect to, or in any way related to, the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan, whether accrued before, on or after the Closing Date. The Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and Department of Labor Regulation § 2520.104-23. The Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan shall not be a funded plan,

and neither Vistana nor any of its Affiliates is under any obligation to set aside any funds for the purpose of making payments under the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan.

(A) Transfer of Interests. Prior to the Closing Date, Starwood shall cause the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan to transfer to the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan, and Vistana or an Affiliate thereof will cause such Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan to accept the transfer of, the interests of participants in the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan who are Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees, as well as any respective Plan Payees. Starwood will not transfer to Vistana or an Affiliate thereof any assets that are earmarked for the payment of benefits with respect to these transferred interests.

(B) Transfer of Elections. Prior to the Closing Date and as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, Vistana will cause the Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan to recognize and maintain existing elections, including deferral, payment form elections, and beneficiary designations with respect to Vistana Employees and Former Vistana Employees, as well as any respective Plan Payees, under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan, but Vistana is under no obligation to recognize or maintain the investment elections and options under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan. The transfer of elections contemplated in this Section 2.03(c) shall be expressly conditioned on Starwood providing to ILG, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, a data report of all elections (other than investment elections) made by the Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan, in a format reasonably acceptable to ILG.

(d) Transfer of Liabilities. Within seven (7) days following the Closing Date, Starwood or one of its Affiliates shall transfer to ILG an amount in cash equal to the sum of the value of each of the existing subaccounts under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to each of the participants in the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan who are Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees, as well as any respective plan payees, determined as of the last “Valuation Date” (as defined therein) immediately before the Closing Date, and after crediting such subaccounts with earnings and gains (and debited for expenses and losses) as specified in Section 6 thereof through such Valuation Date. The recordkeeper for the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan, which is MullinTBG as of the execution hereof, shall make this determination pursuant to the terms of the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan and its customary rules for valuing such subaccounts (to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan), subject to the review and approval of ILG which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Section 409A. The Parties will cooperate in good faith so that the transfers contemplated by this Section 2.03 will not result in adverse Tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.

Section 2.04 Annual Bonus.

(a) ILG will be responsible for establishing, or causing Vistana to establish, effective as of the Closing Date, a bonus program in which Vistana Employees who participated in Starwood’s Annual Incentive Plan or any other bonus or incentive compensation plan or program maintained by Starwood, Vistana or any of their Affiliates (the “Starwood AIP”) immediately prior to the Closing Date will participate effective on the Closing Date (the “ILG AIP”). The ILG AIP will be structured so that it provides a bonus opportunity for the Closing Plan Year that preserves to the extent practicable the bonus opportunity that each Vistana Employee would have had if he or she would have remained a participant in the Starwood AIP for the entire Closing Plan Year (the “FY ILG AIP Award”). The FY ILG AIP Award shall consist of (1) a pro-rated award calculated based upon the achievement of the performance objectives applicable to the related Starwood AIP award and the number of days in the Closing Plan Year that occurs prior to the Closing Date and (2) a pro-rated award calculated based upon performance of ILG and the number of days in the Closing Plan Year that occurs following the Closing Date and including the Closing Date. ILG will pay all FY ILG AIP Awards. Starwood shall provide ILG with any necessary performance results for the Closing Plan Year and any other information necessary to enable ILG to meet its obligations under this Section 2.04(a).

(b) Starwood will retain all obligations related to bonus compensation earned by Vistana Employees under the Starwood AIP with respect to any calendar year ended prior to the Closing Date that is earned but unpaid as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that, if requested by Starwood, ILG or an Affiliate thereof will make all cash payments in respect of any such bonus compensation so long as Starwood transfers to ILG, prior to the date that such payment is to be made to the applicable Vistana Employee, the amounts payable in respect of such cash payments, including all applicable withholding amounts and the employer’s portion of any employment taxes.

Section 2.05 Health and Welfare Benefits.

(a) Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Vistana Employees will cease to participate in the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan.

(b) Establishment of ILG Flexible Benefits Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, ILG shall or shall cause one of its Affiliates to take, or cause to be taken, or have taken, all action necessary and appropriate to establish or designate and administer a group welfare benefits plan for the benefit of all Vistana Employees effective as of the Closing Date (the “ILG Flexible Benefits Plan”) and to provide benefits thereunder for all eligible Vistana Employees who choose to enroll in such Plan. ILG will cause such ILG Flexible Benefits Plan to cover those Vistana Employees and their dependents who immediately prior to the Closing Date were participating in, or entitled to present or future benefits under, the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan, and shall recognize the most recent hire date of such Vistana Employee with Starwood or a member of the controlled group of organizations of which

Starwood is a part (as defined by Section 414 of the Code and regulations issued thereunder) for purposes of determining whether such Vistana Employee has met any otherwise applicable waiting period. Starwood will be responsible for all liabilities associated with claims incurred prior to the Closing Date by Vistana Employees and Former Vistana Employees and their dependents under the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan, which are paid on or after the Closing Date, regardless of when such claims are filed and/or paid.

(c) Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.05(b), to the extent Vistana Employees participate in a dependent care spending account under the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan (the “Starwood FSA”) during the Closing Plan Year, ILG shall establish (or cause its Affiliate, if applicable, to establish) one or more comparable plans (the “ILG FSA”) that will recognize the elections that such Vistana Employees had in effect for purposes of the Closing Plan Year under the Starwood FSA. The ILG FSA shall (1) assume the assets and obligations of the Starwood FSA with respect to Vistana Employees as of the Closing Date and (2) provide the same level of dependent care spending account benefits as those provided under the Starwood FSA at least through the end of the Closing Plan Year. After the Closing Date, the ILG FSA will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursed reimbursable dependent care claims incurred by Vistana Employees, regardless of when the claims were incurred.

(d) Continuation Coverage. As of the Closing Date, ILG and the ILG Flexible Benefits Plan shall assume or retain and shall be solely responsible for providing and meeting the continuation coverage requirements imposed by Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA”) for all Vistana Employees and all Former Vistana Employees, as well as their “qualified beneficiaries” (as defined under COBRA), regardless of whether such liabilities arose before, on or after the Closing Date.

(e) Health Reimbursement Account. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.05(b), ILG shall or shall cause one of its Affiliates to adopt a health reimbursement account (the “ILG HRA”), effective as of the Closing Date. The ILG HRA shall have similar terms and provide the same level of benefits as Starwood’s health reimbursement account in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Starwood HRA”). Effective as of the Closing Date, ILG shall assume the liabilities and obligations with respect to the account balances for all Vistana Employees and Former Vistana Employees under the Starwood HRA and shall pay all benefits with respect thereto to such Vistana Employees and Former Vistana Employees on and after the Closing Date.

(f) 6055/6056 Reporting. ILG shall be solely responsible for ensuring that Vistana complies with the reporting obligations under Section 6056 of the Code (Reporting of Offers of Coverage) with respect to Vistana Employees for the Closing Plan Year (including while Vistana was owned by Starwood) and periods after the Closing Date, for which Vistana has a reporting obligation, provided that Starwood shall be responsible for complying with all reporting obligations with respect to the

year prior to the Closing Plan Year. In this regard, Vistana shall be responsible for distributing IRS Form 1095-C to applicable individuals and filing IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the IRS, all according to the applicable rules and regulations governing such forms. ILG shall also be solely responsible for ensuring that Vistana complies with the reporting obligations under Section 6055 of the Code (Reporting of Enrollment in Minimum Essential Coverage) with respect to all Vistana Employees who are enrolled in a self-insured medical plan under the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan. Vistana may meet this obligation either through IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C or IRS Forms 1094-B and 1095-B, all in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The reporting obligations under Section 6055 of the Code for Vistana Employees who are enrolled in a fully insured medical plan under the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan shall be met by the applicable insurance carrier or HMO. Starwood shall work with ILG to provide all necessary, pre-Closing Date information for Vistana to meet its reporting obligation, which information shall be complete, accurate and provided to Vistana no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date that such reporting obligation is due; provided, however, that to the extent reasonably necessary such time frame shall be reduced to fifteen (15) days for any data related to the four (4) month period ending on the date such reporting obligation is due.

(g) Credit for Benefits. ILG shall (1) waive for each Vistana Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of ILG or any of its Affiliates applicable to (or was previously satisfied by) such Vistana Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to such Vistana Employee under the terms of the welfare plans of Vistana and its Affiliates (including Starwood) immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (2) give full credit under the welfare plans of ILG and its Affiliates applicable to each Vistana Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles satisfied prior to the Effective Time in the Closing Plan Year, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

Section 2.06 Workers’ Compensation. Starwood will be solely responsible for all United States (including its territories) workers’ compensation claims for all Employees and former Employees of Starwood or its Affiliates other than the Vistana Employees, regardless of when the Workers’ Compensation Events to which such claims relate occur. Effective as of the Closing Date, ILG and its Affiliates will be solely responsible for all United States (including its territories) workers’ compensation claims of Vistana Employees with respect to Workers’ Compensation Events, regardless of when such Workers Compensation Events to which such claims relate occur except to the extent claims related to events occurring prior to the Closing Date are covered under an applicable Starwood’s workers’ compensation insurance policy.

Section 2.07 Vacation and Sick Pay Liabilities. On and after the Closing Date, ILG shall provide the Vistana Employees with the same vested and unvested balances of vacation and sick leave as credited to the Vistana Employees on Starwood’s or its Affiliate’s payroll system

immediately prior to the Closing Date. On and after the Closing Date, ILG shall continue to accrue vacation and sick leave in respect of each Vistana Employee according to Starwood’s accrual schedule as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Section 2.08 Severance. Effective as of the Effective Time, ILG shall assume all severance obligations under any Starwood Plan with respect to any Former Vistana Employee.

Section 2.09 Preservation of Right To Amend or Terminate Plans. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the Merger Agreement, no provisions of this Agreement, shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Starwood, Vistana or ILG or any Affiliate thereof to amend any Plan or terminate its participation therein which Starwood, Vistana or ILG or any Affiliate thereof would otherwise have under the terms of such Plan or otherwise, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Employee or former Employee, or dependent or beneficiary of such Employee or former Employee, or any Plan Payee under a Plan which such person would not otherwise have under the terms of the Plan itself.

Section 2.10 No Right to Employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Vistana, ILG or any of its or their Affiliates (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to terminate any employee or individual service provider for any reason.

Section 2.11 Equity Compensation Awards. Each Starwood Equity Award granted in 2014 or later and held by a Vistana Employee that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted as described in subsections (a) and (b) below, so that each such Starwood Equity Award will become an ILG Equity Award. Starwood shall provide all information or documentation reasonably requested by ILG to fulfill such obligation within seven (7) days of receiving such request. From and after the Closing Date, ILG will retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all liabilities arising out of or relating to the ILG Equity Awards.

(a) Starwood Time-Based Stock Awards. Each Starwood Time-Based Stock Award granted in 2014 or later and held by a Vistana Employee and listed on Schedule 2.11(a) will be assumed by ILG and converted, effective as of the Effective Time, into an ILG Time-Based Stock Award of the same type (the “Assumed Time-Based Stock Award”). Each such Assumed Time-Based Stock Award will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to the related Starwood Time-Based Stock Award immediately prior to the Closing Date, except that such terms, conditions and restrictions will be modified to the extent necessary to reflect that the holder of such Assumed Time-Based Stock Award provides services to ILG or its Affiliates (and not Starwood or its Affiliates) and the issuer of the common stock underlying the Assumed Time-Based Stock Award is ILG (and not Starwood). The number of shares of ILG Common Stock covered by each Assumed Time-Based Stock Award for each Vistana Employee will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of (1) the number of shares of Starwood Common Stock covered by such Starwood Time-Based Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (2) the Adjustment

Ratio. For the avoidance of doubt, the holder of any Starwood Time-Based Stock Award that consists of restricted shares will not be entitled to receive any shares of Vistana Common Stock to which such holder may have been entitled with respect to such restricted shares as a stockholder at the Record Date. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, ILG will issue each Person who holds an Assumed Time-Based Stock Award a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Assumed Time-Based Stock Award by ILG.

(b) Starwood Performance Shares. Each Starwood Performance Share award granted in 2014 or later and held by a Vistana Employee and listed on Schedule 2.11(b) will be deemed to have been earned (the “Earned Starwood Performance Shares”) at the greater of (1) the target level of achievement of the applicable management objectives or (2) the actual level of achievement of the applicable management objectives measured as of the Closing Date and reasonably determined by Starwood in accordance with the terms of the Starwood Stock Plan using a methodology consistent with the methodology used in Starwood’s past practice in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt, although the amount of Earned Starwood Performance Shares may be affected as a result of determining the achievement of the applicable management objectives as of the Closing Date rather than as of the end of the original performance period, such Earned Starwood Performance Shares shall not be further reduced or pro-rated based on the Vistana Employee ceasing to be employed by Starwood or its Affiliates as of such date. The Earned Starwood Performance Shares will be assumed by ILG and converted, effective as of the Effective Time, into a restricted stock units award covering ILG Common Stock (the “Converted RSUs”) and subject to substantially the same terms as the related Starwood Performance Shares, except that (y) such restricted stock units awards will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date of the original Starwood Performance Share award (generally subject to continued employment or service with ILG or an Affiliate thereof through such date) and will not be subject to any additional performance objectives and (z) the other terms and conditions will be modified to the extent necessary to reflect that the holder of such Converted RSU provides services to ILG or its Affiliates (and not Starwood or its Affiliates) and the issuer of the common stock underlying the Converted RSU is ILG (and not Starwood). The number of such Converted RSUs for each such Vistana Employee will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of (1) the number of Earned Starwood Performance Shares, as determined in accordance with the above, and (2) the Adjustment Ratio. Any portion of the Starwood Performance Share awards that is not earned as of the Closing Date will be cancelled and forfeited. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, ILG will issue each Person who holds a Converted RSU a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Converted RSU by ILG.

(c) Miscellaneous. Starwood and ILG shall take any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, to the extent necessary, ILG shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement registering the number of shares of ILG Common Stock necessary to fulfill ILG’s obligations under this Section 2.11.

ARTICLE III.

LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between ILG, Vistana and/or Starwood to the contrary, the Parties understand and agree that:

Section 3.01 Collective Bargaining Agreements.

(a) With regard to Employees of Starwood and its Subsidiaries covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Parties covenant to cooperate with each other to avoid any action which could, on a reasonably foreseeable basis, disrupt or otherwise negatively impact the labor relations of any other Party.

(b) Effective as of the Business Transfer Date, Vistana or an Affiliate of Vistana shall retain or assume each Collective Bargaining Agreement covering Vistana Employees, and Starwood shall have no further liability thereunder. Prior to the Business Transfer Date, Starwood agrees that it will comply and will cause any Affiliate of Starwood to comply, in all material respects, with all of the terms and conditions set forth in each such Collective Bargaining Agreement and with applicable Law covering Starwood and any Starwood Affiliate’s Employees, including but not limited to, the fulfillment of any labor or employment-related notice, information or consultation requirements relating to the matters contemplated hereby.

Section 3.02 WARN Obligations. Before and after the Closing Date, each party shall comply in all material respects with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar state and local laws (“WARN”). As of the Closing Date, ILG and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all obligations and liabilities under WARN relating to the Vistana Employees arising from mass layoffs or plant closings (each as defined under WARN) occurring on or after the Closing Date, and Starwood shall be responsible for all obligations and liabilities under WARN relating to the Vistana Employees arising from mass layoff or plant closings (each as defined under WARN) occurring prior to the Closing Date and all obligations and liabilities under WARN relating to Former Vistana Employees.

Section 3.03 Multiemployer Plan.

(a) In the event the Hotel Union And Hotel Industry Of Hawaii Pension Trust Fund (the “Hotel Trust Fund”) assesses withdrawal liability under Section 4201(a) of ERISA against Starwood, and/or its Affiliates as the result of a complete or partial withdrawal from the Hotel Trust Fund that is caused by actions taken by either Vistana or ILG without the consent of Starwood with respect to Employees at the resort currently known as the Sheraton Kauai Resort (“Withdrawal Liability”) (examples would include, but are not limited to, Withdrawal Liability that is caused by ILG closing the Sheraton Kauai Resort or converting it to timeshares, or terminating its management contract with Starwood), ILG shall indemnify Starwood for such Withdrawal Liability as follows:

(i) in the event Withdrawal Liability is assessed against Starwood or its Affiliates with respect to a withdrawal event that occurs on or after the Closing Date and prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, ILG shall not indemnify Starwood for any portion of such Withdrawal Liability;

(ii) in the event Withdrawal Liability is assessed against Starwood or its Affiliates with respect to a withdrawal event that occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, ILG shall indemnify Starwood for one-third of such Withdrawal Liability;

(iii) in the event Withdrawal Liability is assessed against Starwood or its Affiliates with respect to a withdrawal event that occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, ILG shall indemnify Starwood for two-thirds of such Withdrawal Liability; and

(iv) in the event Withdrawal Liability is assessed against Starwood or its Affiliates on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, ILG shall indemnify Starwood for the full amount of such Withdrawal Liability.

Starwood shall remain fully responsible, with no right to any indemnification or reimbursement from ILG, for any Withdrawal Liability for which ILG does not expressly agree to indemnify Starwood pursuant to this Section 3.03(a).

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Starwood shall have no right to any indemnification against ILG for any Withdrawal Liability pursuant to Section 3.03(a) above until Starwood or an Affiliate satisfies any of its required ongoing obligations to make contributions under the Hotel Trust Fund that remain unpaid at the time of the withdrawal triggering such indemnification right under Section 3.03(a).

(c) In the event that Starwood incurs any Withdrawal Liability for which Starwood is entitled to indemnification from ILG pursuant to this Section 3.03, then with respect to such Withdrawal Liability, ILG shall have the right to direct Starwood to challenge such assessment of Withdrawal Liability to the full extent permitted by applicable Law and the Hotel Trust Fund, including, without limitation, a proceeding under Section 4221 of ERISA provided that ILG pays (or reimburses Starwood for) the costs of such defense in proportion to its obligation to indemnify Starwood for such Withdrawal Liability pursuant to Section 3.03(a).

(d) ILG shall not be considered or deemed to be a participating employer in the Hotel Trust Fund and shall have no liability to the Hotel Trust Fund.

Section 3.04 Attorney-Client Privilege. The provisions herein requiring the Parties to cooperate shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the attorney-client privilege for the Parties nor shall it require the Parties to waive their attorney-client privilege. In the event of any conflict

between the applicable terms of the Separation Agreement or the Merger Agreement and the terms of this Agreement with respect to matters relating to attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine and all other evidentiary privileges and non-disclosure doctrines, the applicable terms of the Merger Agreement or the Separation Agreement, as applicable (including Sections 7.06 and 7.07 of the Merger Agreement and Section 6.8 of the Separation Agreement), shall prevail.

ARTICLE IV.

REMEDIES

Section 4.01 Indemnification. Any breach of this Agreement by any party hereto or any indemnification obligation under this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Article V of the Separation Agreement which shall apply to this Agreement as if incorporated in their entirety herein.

Section 4.02 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party hereto is entitled at Law or in equity. Each party hereto agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, Starwood and Vistana shall be entitled to specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of and to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement by ILG.

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.01 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or any third party as creating the relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the Parties, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of the Parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the Parties other than the relationship set forth herein.

Section 5.02 Assignment. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 5.05 Severability of Provisions.

The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

Section 5.06 Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and other communications among the Parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) when after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (c) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, (d) when delivered by facsimile (solely if receipt is confirmed) or (e) or by email (so long as the sender of such email does not receive an automatic reply from the recipient’s email server indicating that the recipient did not receive such email), addressed as follows:

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYEE MATTERS AGREEMENT

This Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2015, by and among Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the sole stockholder of Vistana (“Starwood”), Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Starwood (“Vistana”), and Interval Leisure Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ILG”) (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), is made as of April 18, 2016 (“Execution Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Employee Matters Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2015, entered into by and among Starwood, Vistana, ILG, and Iris Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of ILG (the “Merger Agreement”), the Parties contemporaneously entered into the Employee Matters Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend certain rights and obligations of the Parties under the Employee Matters Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereof, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section 1.01 Business Transfer Date. When used in the Employee Matters Agreement, the term “Business Transfer Date” shall be deemed to be a reference to “Distribution Date,” as such term is defined in the Separation Agreement.

Section 1.02 Retirement Plans. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(e)(iv) of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2016, the ILG Retirement Plan shall provide the Vistana Employees with the opportunity to receive the same rate of employer matching contributions and the same vesting schedule as provided under the Starwood Retirement Plan to such employees as of the date hereof; provided, however, that service may be credited for purposes of vesting or eligibility under the ILG Retirement Plan using the methodology currently provided by such ILG Retirement Plan.

Section 1.03 Nonqualified Plans. Notwithstanding the first two sentences of Section 2.03(b) of the Employee Matters Agreement, ILG shall amend its existing nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “ILG Deferred Compensation Plan”) as of the Closing Date to provide for participation in the ILG Deferred Compensation Plan by Vistana Employees who were participants in the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date

on terms and conditions (other than with respect to investment options) that are substantially similar to what was provided to them under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan and pursuant to the remainder of Section 2.03 of the Employee Matters Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither ILG nor Vistana shall be under any obligation to offer any employees the opportunity to make future deferral elections under the ILG Deferred Compensation Plan, and if any future deferral elections are offered under the ILG Deferred Compensation Plan, neither ILG nor Vistana shall be under any obligation to make deferral elections available under the same terms as applied under the Starwood Deferred Compensation Plan. References in the Employee Matters Agreement to the “Vistana Deferred Compensation Plan” shall be deemed to be references to the “ILG Deferred Compensation Plan,” as amended. References to the actions to be taken “prior to the Closing Date” in the first sentence of each of Sections 2.03(c)(A) and 2.03(c)(B) of the Employee Matters Agreement shall be deemed to mean “as of the Closing Date.”

Section 1.04 Flexible Benefit Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.05(a) and 2.05(b) of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Closing Date has not occurred as of April 1, 2016, then effective as of such date Vistana Employees shall cease to participate in the Starwood Flexible Benefit Plan, and Vistana shall establish a new flexible benefit plan (the “Vistana Flexible Benefit Plan”) for the benefit of Vistana Employees. The Vistana Flexible Benefit Plan shall be similar to the Starwood Flexible Benefit Plan, and shall be subject to the review and approval of ILG prior to its adoption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the foregoing applies, references in the Employee Matters Agreement to the “ILG Flexible Benefits Plan” shall be deemed to be references to the new Vistana Flexible Benefits Plan, and the Vistana Flexible Benefits Plan shall be deemed a Vistana Benefit Plan for purposes of the Merger Agreement. Starwood will be responsible for all liabilities with respect to any Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee and their dependents, regardless of when such claims are filed and/or paid under the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan with respect to all claims incurred on or before March 31, 2016. The amounts Starwood has previously received for health and welfare coverage under the Starwood Flexible Benefits Plan for Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees through March 31, 2016 shall be considered full payment for such coverage and Vistana shall not be obligated to make any further payments toward such coverage. Vistana will be responsible for all liabilities with respect to any Vistana Employee or COBRA Participant and their dependents, regardless of when such claims are filed and/or paid, under the Vistana Flexible Benefits Plan with respect to all claims incurred on or after April 1, 2016 and Starwood shall not be responsible for any “true up” payment with respect to such claims, including for the period that Vistana remains part of the Starwood controlled group. Vistana shall not be required to pay Starwood a monthly amount for health and welfare coverage for Vistana Employees or Former Vistana Employees beginning with the month of April, 2016.

Section 1.05 Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(c) of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, ILG shall not be required to establish nor cause to be established an ILG FSA effective as of or following the Closing Date. Starwood shall remain liable for all claims and liabilities under the Starwood FSA with respect to any Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee. Furthermore, Vistana Employees shall not be eligible to participate in a dependent care spending account program on or after April 1, 2016; provided, however, that in its sole discretion, ILG may establish a flexible spending account for the benefit of Vistana Employees on or after April 1, 2016.

Section 1.06 Continuation Coverage. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(d) of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Closing Date has not occurred as of April 1, 2016, the Vistana Flexible Benefits Plan shall be solely responsible for providing and meeting the COBRA continuation coverage requirements for all Vistana Employees and all Former Vistana Employees, as well as their “qualified beneficiaries” (as defined in COBRA), with respect to all claims incurred on or after April 1, 2016. Furthermore, all COBRA premiums for coverage for such individuals beginning on April 1, 2016 shall be paid to Vistana or the Vistana Flexible Benefits Plan.

Section 1.07 Health Reimbursement Account. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(e) of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Closing Date has not occurred as of April 1, 2016, Vistana Employees will cease to participate in the Starwood HRA as of such date, and Vistana shall establish a new health reimbursement account (the “Vistana HRA”) for the benefit of Vistana Employees. The Vistana HRA shall have similar terms and provide the same level of benefits as the Starwood HRA, and shall be subject to the review and approval of ILG prior to its adoption which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In connection with providing the same level of benefits, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Vistana HRA shall provide that the account balances for each Vistana Employee who is a participant under the Vistana HRA shall be increased by any balance that still remains under the Starwood HRA for such participant after the end of the run out period under the Starwood HRA for paying claims incurred in the 2015-2016 plan year to the same extent as such amount would have remained available for such participant’s use under the Starwood HRA during the 2016-2017 plan year. In the event the foregoing applies, references in the Employee Matters Agreement to the “ILG HRA” shall be deemed to be references to the new Vistana HRA, and the Vistana HRA shall be deemed a Vistana Benefit Plan for purposes of the Merger Agreement. In the event the Vistana HRA is established pursuant to this Section 1.07, (i) Starwood shall be responsible for all liabilities with respect to any Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee and their dependents, regardless of when such claims are filed and/or paid under the Starwood HRA, and (ii) Vistana shall be responsible for all liabilities with respect to any Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee and their dependents, regardless of when such claims are filed, under the Vistana HRA with respect to all claims incurred on or after April 1, 2016.

Section 1.08 Vacation and Sick Pay Liabilities. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.07 of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, on and after the Closing Date, accrual of vacation and sick leave in respect of each Vistana Employee working in California, shall be according to an accrual schedule that is substantially similar to Starwood’s accrual schedule as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, rather than one which is identical.

Section 1.09 Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, this Amendment does not, by implication or otherwise, alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement or the Employee Matters Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by reference and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 1.10 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by electronic or .pdf transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of any signature page by facsimile, electronic or .pdf transmission shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page.

Section 1.11 Updates to Vistana Disclosure Schedule. If the Vistana Flexible Benefit Plan and Vistana HRA are established pursuant to Sections 1.04 and 1.07 hereof, they will be deemed to be listed as a Vistana Benefit Plan on Section 5.13(a) of the Vistana Disclosure Schedule.

Section 1.12 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2015 by and among Starwood, Vistana, Interval Leisure Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and Iris Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”) (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Vistana immediately following the spin-off of Vistana to Starwood’s stockholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Vistana and Starwood agree as follows:

1. LICENSE

A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Starwood hereby grants to Vistana within the Territory during the Term, and Vistana hereby accepts, under the terms hereof:

(i) the limited exclusive right for the Vacation Ownership Business to be developed, sold, marketed, managed, operated and/or financed (including the servicing of purchase money loans for Vacation Ownership Interests) under the Licensed Names using the Applicable System;

(ii) the limited exclusive right for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties to be developed, marketed, managed, and/or operated under the marks listed in clause (i) of the definition of Licensed Marks using the Applicable System;

(iii) the limited exclusive right for the Vacation Ownership Business, solely to the extent it relates to the Specified Fractional Properties, to be sold, marketed, managed, operated and/or financed (including the servicing of purchase money loans for Vacation Ownership Interests) under the Specified Fractional Licensed Names using the Applicable System;

(iv) the limited exclusive right for the Specified Fractional Properties to be marketed, managed, developed and/or operated under the Specified Fractional Licensed Marks using the Applicable System;

For the avoidance of doubt, all provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the Licensed Unbranded Properties in the same manner as all Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, except solely to the extent such provisions relate to (a) the use of the Licensed Marks (including the application of Standards and Policies relating to the Licensed Marks) and (b) Centralized Services that are specific to properties operated under the Licensed Marks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Starwood does not grant Vistana any rights to use the Licensed Marks with respect to the Licensed Unbranded Properties,

B. The limited rights granted in Section 1.A shall extend on a non-exclusive basis during the Tail Period.

2. NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT; EXCLUSIVITY AND RESERVED RIGHTS

2.1 Noncompetition Agreement.

In partial consideration for the parties’ agreement to enter into this Agreement, Starwood and Vistana have entered into a Noncompetition Agreement (“Noncompetition Agreement”) contemporaneously herewith under which Starwood and Vistana have agreed to certain noncompetition covenants, and the parties hereby agree to comply with the terms of the Noncompetition Agreement.

2.2 Exclusivity.

A. Subject to Section 7.2, during the Term, neither Starwood nor its Affiliates will:

(i) use, or license any third party to use, the names and marks “Westin” and “Sheraton” (other than as part of one or more corporate names of Starwood or its Affiliates) in connection with the activities described in clauses (i) through (vii) of the definition of Vacation Ownership Business,

(ii) other than on behalf of Vistana, use, or license any third party to use, Starwood’s knowledge of an Owner’s ownership of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests specifically to target such Owner in connection with the marketing or selling of interests in Vacation Ownership Units, or

(iii) conduct, or permit any third party to conduct, any marketing, leasing or sales activities for Vacation Ownership Interests (other than in connection with the Licensed Business) at any “Sheraton”-branded or “Westin”-branded Starwood Lodging Facilities which are owned by Starwood and its Affiliates.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Starwood or any of its Affiliates from engaging in the activities described in Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

2.3 Starwood’s Reserved Rights.

A. Vistana agrees that, except as set forth in Section 2.2, Starwood and its Affiliates expressly retain the right to engage in any Vacation Ownership Business under existing brands and brands including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, that Starwood or its Affiliates may develop or acquire in the future, without restriction of any kind, and to use and sublicense the use of the Starwood Intellectual Property in connection therewith; provided that, unless Vistana otherwise agrees in writing in its sole discretion, no such activities above involve or utilize in any way the Vistana Intellectual Property.

B. Vistana agrees that Starwood and its Affiliates expressly retain the right to:

(i) engage in the Lodging Business and any other business operations, subject to Section 2.2;

(ii) allow Starwood Lodging Facilities to use the System (in whole or in part);

(iii) use the Licensed Marks or the System in connection with developing, selling, marketing, managing, operating, and financing units in a Hotel (including a Condominium Hotel) or in connection with the Whole Ownership Residential Business; and

(iv) accept advance deposits or payments for stays at Starwood Lodging Facilities, and accept multi-year advanced bookings for stays at Starwood Lodging Facilities (provided that any such multi-year advance bookings relate to specific, identified Starwood Lodging Facilities and are not on a systemwide basis).

C. Starwood reserves all rights in the Licensed Marks not expressly and exclusively granted to Vistana in this Agreement and in all other Starwood Intellectual Property, including without limitation any individual elements or components thereof.

D. Vistana acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Starwood shall not be restricted in any manner from using the terms “vacation,” “resort,” “club,” “lodge,” “villa,” “destination,” or similar terms in connection with the development, promotion, or operation of any of Starwood’s businesses; provided that any such usage would not violate any other provisions of the Transaction Agreements.

E. While the parties acknowledge that Starwood retains the rights in the term “Starwood Vacation Network,” Starwood agrees not to use or license such term in connection with a Vacation Ownership Business other than the Licensed Business during the Term.

F. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Noncompetition Agreement provides for additional limitations on, and certain retained rights with respect to, the activities of Starwood and its Affiliates.

2.4 Vistana’s Reserved Rights.

A. Starwood agrees that, subject to Section 13.4, Vistana and its Affiliates expressly retain the right to engage in the Lodging Business; provided that, unless Starwood otherwise agrees in writing in its sole discretion, no such activities involve or utilize in any way the Starwood Intellectual Property, including the Applicable System.

B. Starwood agrees that, except with respect to such limitations as are set forth in this Agreement solely with respect to the Licensed Business, Vistana and its Affiliates expressly retain the right to engage in the Vacation Ownership Business, including under brands that Vistana or its Affiliates may develop or acquire in the future, without restriction of any kind, and to use and sublicense the use of the Vistana Intellectual Property in connection therewith;

provided that, unless Starwood otherwise agrees in writing in its sole discretion, no such activities involve or utilize in any way the Starwood Intellectual Property, including the Applicable System.

C. Subject to Section 13.4, Vistana reserves all rights in the Vistana Intellectual Property, including without limitation any individual elements or components thereof.

D. Starwood acknowledges and agrees that Vistana shall not be restricted in any manner from using the terms “hotel,” “inn,” or similar terms in connection with the development, promotion, or operation of any of Vistana’s businesses; provided that any such usage would not violate any other provisions of the Transaction Agreements.

E. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Noncompetition Agreement provides for additional limitations on, and certain retained rights with respect to, the activities of Vistana and its Affiliates.

2.5 Loss of Exclusivity.

A. The parties agree that the exclusivity granted in Section 1 of this Agreement shall become non-exclusive and the restrictions and limitations on Starwood and its Affiliates in Section 2.2A of this Agreement shall cease upon the last to occur of the following events in connection with clauses (i) through (vi) below, as applicable: (x) the calculations required to determine the amounts as set forth in any of clauses (i) through (vi) below are completed, as applicable, (y) any dispute in connection with the results of such calculations is resolved, and (z) an installment of the applicable Exclusivity Continuation Fee has become due and payable and Vistana has failed to make the required payment thereof before the end of the applicable cure period (each of clauses (i) through (vi) below being an “Exclusivity Test”):

(i) If the aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests, during the period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2040 and calculated by Vistana by no later than February 28, 2041 is less than six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000);

(ii) If the aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests, during the prior twenty (20) year period ending on December 31, 2060 and calculated by Vistana by no later than February 28, 2061 is less than six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000), as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator;

(iii) If the aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests during the prior twenty (20) year period ending on December 31, 2080 and calculated by Vistana by no later than February 28, 2081 is less than six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000), as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator;

(iv) In the event Vistana obtains the first Extension Term in accordance with Section 4.2, if the aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership

Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests during the prior twenty (20) year period ending on December 31, 2100 and calculated by Vistana by no later than February 28, 2101 is less than six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000), as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator;

(v) In the event Vistana obtains the first Extension Term in accordance with Section 4.2, if the aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests during the prior twenty (20) year period ending on December 31, 2120 and calculated by Vistana by no later than February 28, 2121 is less than six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000), as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator; or

(vi) In the event Vistana obtains the second Extension Term in accordance with Section 4.2, if the aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests during the prior twenty (20) year period ending on December 31, 2140 and calculated by Vistana by no later than February 28, 2141 is less than six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000), as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator.

(vii) For the purposes hereof, each twenty (20) year period, as applicable, described in clauses (i) through (vi) above shall be an “Exclusivity Test Period”, and the respective six billion dollar ($6,000,000,000) amount (as appropriately adjusted by the GDP Deflator) for each such Exclusivity Test Period shall be an “Exclusivity Test Target”. Any Exclusivity Test Target shall be replaced in one or more of clauses (i) through (vi) above by the Adjusted Exclusivity Test Target, if any, as determined in accordance with Section 2.5B(iii) below.

B. (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event an Exclusivity Test Target is not satisfied for any Exclusivity Test Period as provided in Section 2.5A above, Vistana may maintain the exclusivity granted to it in Section 1 of this Agreement by paying an Exclusivity Continuation Fee (as defined below). Each Exclusivity Continuation Fee, if any, shall be paid in six (6) equal installments, with the first installment due within ten (10) Business Days after the calculations to determine the Exclusivity Continuation Fee for the applicable Exclusivity Test Period are finalized, and the remaining five (5) installments paid on the next five (5) anniversaries of the payment of the first installment for the applicable period. Vistana may prepay any Exclusivity Continuation Fee without penalty. If Vistana fails to pay any installment when the same becomes due and payable, then Starwood may issue a notice to Vistana with respect to such failure. Vistana shall have thirty (30) days following Vistana’s receipt of such notice to cure the failure to pay. If Vistana fails to cure any payment failure within such thirty (30) day period, then the entire outstanding amount of the Exclusivity Continuation Fee shall become immediately due and payable. Without limiting any other remedies that may be available to Starwood under this Agreement or otherwise, in the event of an uncured default by Vistana of its payment of an Exclusivity Continuation Fee, Starwood may at any time after the end of the applicable cure period, upon delivery of written notice to Vistana, declare that the grant of exclusive rights under this Agreement have become non-exclusive, at which time the exclusivity granted in Section 1 and the restrictions and limitations on Starwood and its Affiliates in Section 2.2A shall immediately cease and be of no further force or effect.

(ii) Vistana shall calculate the amount of any shortfall for an Exclusivity Test Period by determining the difference between the applicable Exclusivity Test Target for such Exclusivity Test Period and the actual aggregate Gross Sales Price for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests occurring during such Exclusivity Test Period (the “Sales Performance Shortfall Amount”). The Sales Performance Shortfall Amount shall be multiplied by two percent (2%) to determine the Variable Sale Royalty to be paid for the applicable Exclusivity Test Period attributable to sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests. The amount so calculated is the “Exclusivity Continuation Fee,” (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be payable in addition to the Variable Sale Royalty payable for sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests which did occur during such period).

(iii) The Exclusivity Test Target shall be reduced for any Exclusivity Test Period, as applicable, by an amount determined at the time of calculation which is equal to the following fraction,

(a) the numerator of which is the total number of Vacation Ownership Units in Vacation Ownership Properties which were rejected by Starwood during the applicable Exclusivity Test Period and subsequently developed by Vistana or its Affiliate as unbranded Vacation Ownership Properties during the applicable Exclusivity Test Period (but not on account of a rejection based on the location for such proposed New Properties being within a Permitted Territorial Restriction previously identified to Vistana); provided, however, that all such rejections must have been made after the complete Property Approval Request of such proposed New Property has been submitted in good faith and the related Property Approval Request Fee has been paid in full; and

(b) the denominator of which is the total number of Vacation Ownership Units in all approved New Properties as of the date of determination.

The resulting fraction shall be multiplied by the then Exclusivity Test Target and the product thereof shall be subtracted from such Exclusivity Test Target to determine an adjusted Exclusivity Test Target (the “Adjusted Exclusivity Test Target”).

3. FEES

3.1 Royalty Fees; Other Fees.

A. Vistana shall pay to Starwood a royalty (the “Royalty Fee”) in an amount equal to:

(i) the Base Royalty, plus

(ii) the Variable Sale Royalty.

B. (i) A sale of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Interest or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interest (as applicable) occurs when all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a) a written agreement has been executed by a purchaser and accepted by Vistana or its Affiliates pursuant to which such purchaser has contractually committed to acquire such interest (“Purchase Contract”);

(b) the purchaser has duly tendered payment of the full purchase price in respect of such Purchase Contract (or full down payment installment thereof in the case of purchase money financing) including by cash, by check which has cleared, or by credit card which has been duly processed, to either (x) Vistana or its Affiliates or (y) a fiduciary, escrow agent, trustee or other independent third-party designated by Vistana or its Affiliates, as may be required by law;

(c) all rescission periods applicable to such Purchase Contract have expired, without any such right of rescission having been exercised; and

(d) all pre-conditions set forth in such Purchase Contract and any legal requirements under Applicable Law in order to close the transaction which is the subject of the Purchase Contract as set forth in such Purchase Contract shall have been duly satisfied (or waived by Vistana), without the purchaser having exercised any right of cancellation afforded such purchaser under the terms of such Purchase Contract or under Applicable Law.

Any delay in the recording, registration or filing of any conveyance documents that have otherwise been executed and delivered in connection with the transfer or assignment of an interest will not delay the occurrence of a “sale” for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) The conversion of interests that were previously sold to end-user customers on an equivalent value basis into other types of interests that derive their value from the interests being converted (for example, interests that are initially sold in the form of a weeks-based Vacation Ownership Interest and are subsequently converted to a trust-based beneficial interest Vacation Ownership Interest) shall not be considered a sale for purposes of Sections 3.1A and 3.1B.

C. The Gross Sales Price shall, for purposes of calculating the Variable Sale Royalty, include (i) the amount of any newly-created initial or ongoing, recurring, or installment fees or charges that may be imposed by Vistana or its Affiliates after the Effective Date that are currently included, free of separate charge, for the rights, benefits and services currently obtained by purchasers of interests in Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units (as applicable), upon payment of the purchase price thereof (other than promotional or trial features for which separate fees or charges may be contemplated), or (ii) the amount by which any other fees existing as of the Effective Date are increased after the Effective Date, as a direct or indirect offset to any decrease in the purchase price of an interest in a Licensed Vacation Ownership Unit or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Unit (as applicable). In the event any such new or changed fee or charge is implemented, the Royalty Fee shall be restructured such that the amount of the Royalty Fee Starwood receives is not reduced as

a result of the implementation of such new or changed fee or charge, which restructuring may, by agreement of the parties, include adding to the Gross Sales Price the net present value of fees or charges that are paid on an ongoing, recurring, or installment basis discounted by a discount rate of nine percent (9%).

D. The Gross Sales Price shall, for purposes of calculating the Royalty Fee, exclude the amount attributable to a gross up for imputed interest associated with a zero percent (0%) or below market interest rate program used in relation to financing a purchaser’s acquisition of interests in Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units (as applicable), but only where the Gross Sales Price is offered at different amounts to the customers on a programmatic basis, depending on the financing or payment terms selected by the customer.

E. The Variable Sale Royalty shall be earned as and when a sale of an interest in a Licensed Vacation Ownership Unit or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Unit (as applicable) occurs pursuant to Section 3.1B, regardless of when, or whether, any part of the Gross Sales Price is actually paid to, or received by or on behalf of, Vistana and/or its Affiliates or any third party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Variable Sale Royalty shall not be due for any interests in Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units (as applicable), the Purchase Contracts for which were signed prior to the Effective Date, regardless of when such Purchase Contracts actually close or would otherwise be deemed to occur.

F. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the Royalty Fee, Vistana shall pay to Starwood the Centralized Services Charges as set forth in Section 6.

3.2 Making of Payments; Delegation of Duties and Performance of Services.

A. The Base Royalty payable under Section 3.1 shall be paid within fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar quarter, as applicable, during the Term (it being acknowledged that no Base Royalty shall be payable during the Tail Period) for the immediately preceding calendar quarter along with any reports required under Section 15.2. The Base Royalty payable under Section 3.1A(i) shall be paid in quarterly installments, with the amount to be paid each quarter equal to one-fourth of the amount to be paid for such calendar year (such amount shall be prorated for any partial calendar quarter occurring at the beginning or end of the Term). All other payments (including Variable Sale Royalty, Centralized Service Charges and Reimbursable Expenses) required by this Agreement, whether payable by Vistana or its Affiliates to Starwood or its Affiliates or by Starwood or its Affiliates to Vistana or its Affiliates, will be made within thirty (30) days after receipt by Vistana or its Affiliate or Starwood or its Affiliate, as the case may be, of each statement for such payment.

B. Starwood may designate that all or part of any payment be made to one of its Affiliates instead of Starwood, and Vistana and its Affiliates must make such payments as designated.

C. Vistana may designate that all or part of any payment be made to one of its Affiliates instead of Vistana, and Starwood and its Affiliates must make such payments as designated.

D. If either party, in good faith, disputes the amount due and payable by that party in accordance with this Agreement and the parties are unable to resolve the discrepancy, then the party required to make payment (the “payor”) may submit the disagreement regarding the disputed amount to an arbitration panel for resolution pursuant to Section 22.5 and at such time shall pay the amount that the other party (the “payee”) purports is owed to the payee into an escrow account set up at the payor’s sole cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 22.5, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s costs of the arbitration, including attorneys’ fees. If the arbitration panel determines that any or all of the disputed amount is owed to the payee or its Affiliates, then such amount shall be released to the payee from the funds in escrow, with any remaining funds in escrow to be returned to the payor. To the extent the arbitration panel awards an amount that is greater than the funds in escrow (the “additional amount”), then the payor shall immediately pay such additional amount to the payee in addition to releasing the funds in escrow to the payee. If the arbitration panel determines that none of the disputed amount is owed to the payee or its Affiliates, then the payor shall not be required to pay the disputed amount, and the funds in escrow shall be released to the payor.

3.3 Interest on Late Payments.

If a party does not make any payment due under this Agreement within fourteen (14) days after its due date, such party shall pay interest from the due date until the date of payment compounded monthly, at the Interest Rate.

3.4 Currency and Taxes.

A. Vistana shall bear and be responsible for all taxes, duties and deductions (including any sales, value added, use, excise, gross receipts, income, goods and service taxes, stamp or other duties, fees, deductions, withholdings or other payments, and including penalties and interest as a result of failure to comply) (collectively, “Taxes”) levied on, deducted or withheld from, or assessed or imposed on any payments or reimbursements made by Vistana to Starwood or its designee (including Reimbursable Expenses) under this Agreement by any Governmental Authority or imposed on Starwood or its designee due to any such payments or reimbursements, other than corporate net income taxes imposed as a result of (i) Starwood or its designee, as applicable, being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax or (ii) a present or former connection between Starwood or its designee, as applicable, and the jurisdiction imposing the tax (other than any connection arising from Starwood or its designee, as applicable, having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced this Agreement) (collectively, “Connection Income Taxes”). If Starwood or its designee pays such amounts due, then Vistana must reimburse Starwood for all payments of such Taxes Starwood or its designee makes so that the amount of Vistana’s payments that Starwood retains after payment of the applicable Taxes equals the full amount of the payments Vistana was required to make under this Agreement had the Tax not been imposed upon Starwood. All amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or any related agreement between

Starwood (or its designee) and Vistana are exclusive of any such Taxes. For clarification, if Taxes (other than Connection Income Taxes) are required to be deducted or withheld from any payment or reimbursement under this Agreement (including payments pursuant to this Section 3.4) to Starwood or its designee, Vistana shall gross-up or increase such payment so that Starwood or its designee receives the same amount that it would have received if no Taxes were applicable. To the extent any Applicable Law requires or allows deduction, payment or withholding of Taxes to be paid by the paying party directly to a Governmental Authority, the paying party must account for and pay such amounts promptly and provide to the other party receipts or other proof of such payment promptly upon request of the other party.

B. Vistana shall be responsible for and administer payment of all stamp duties and other Taxes or charges imposed with respect to the execution or registration of this Agreement.

C. Vistana and its Affiliates must promptly pay when due all Taxes levied or assessed against Vistana and its Affiliates by any Tax authority relating to the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Business, Vistana, its Affiliates, this Agreement, the payment obligations hereunder or otherwise in connection with the operation of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or the Licensed Business.

D. All amounts payable to Starwood shall be invoiced in U.S. Dollars unless Starwood otherwise designates the currency of the jurisdiction in which the Entity issuing the relevant invoice is located or in which the expense was incurred. The exchange rate shall be set each month by Starwood as taken from an international reporting service and applied to substantially all Starwood Lodging Facilities. Payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of delivery of the invoice (unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise), and made in the currency of the invoice in immediately available funds, at the location designated by Starwood from time to time. Starwood may require that any such payments be made through electronic debit/credit transfer of funds programs specified by Starwood from time to time, and Vistana shall pay such fees and costs and do such things as Starwood deems necessary or advisable to effect such transfers of funds. Vistana shall use all available means to obtain any Approvals necessary to make payments in the currency and to the location designated in accordance with this Section 3.4D. If any Applicable Law or the paying bank restricts payment in any manner, Vistana shall immediately notify Starwood and Starwood may require Vistana to make payments in such other currency (at the exchange rate reported by an authorized foreign exchange bank designated by Starwood) and/or to such other place as are designated by Starwood and permitted under Applicable Law or the paying bank for so long as the restriction remains in effect.

E. All payments to be made by Vistana under this Agreement shall be made pursuant to independent covenants and Vistana shall not set off any claim for damages or money due from Starwood.

F. If any payments by Vistana under this Agreement are less than the full amounts due and payable by Vistana (including any past due amounts), such payments shall be applied as designated by Starwood, regardless of any conditions or instructions of Vistana to the contrary, and Vistana may not designate an order for application of any payments different from that designated by Starwood.

4. TERM

4.1 Initial Term.

The initial term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and expires December 31, 2095 (the “Initial Term”).

4.2 Extension Term; Tail Period.

A. Vistana shall have the option to extend this Agreement for up to two (2) additional extension terms of thirty (30) years each (each, an “Extension Term”); provided that Vistana meets the following conditions: (i) Vistana must provide Starwood with notice of its desire to obtain the applicable Extension Term not earlier than December 31, 2080 or later than December 31, 2093 for the first Extension Term and not earlier than December 31, 2110 or later than December 31, 2123 for the second Extension Term; (ii) Vistana is not in Default pursuant to Section 19.2 at the time of its delivery of the extension notice; and (iii) the sale of interests in Licensed Vacation Ownership Units and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units must have generated at least three hundred fifty million dollars ($350,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) or more in average annual revenues from the Gross Sales Prices during the five (5) year period preceding the date of such notice. For each Extension Term, Starwood shall provide Vistana with written confirmation of Starwood’s acceptance (or if applicable, rejection, and the grounds for such rejection pursuant to the terms hereof) within six (6) months of Vistana’s submission of its notice of extension to Starwood pursuant to this Section 4.2A. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of this Agreement shall also result in the termination of any Extension Term.

B. For a tail period of thirty (30) years following the expiration of the Term (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the early termination of this Agreement in whole for any reason, the “Tail Period”), Vistana shall be entitled (but not required) to continue to operate the then-existing Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (including any New Properties under development as contemplated in clause (ii) below) in the Territory; provided that such operation is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The parties agree that (i) the exclusivity granted in Section 1 and the restrictions and limitations on Starwood and its Affiliates in Section 2.2 shall immediately cease and be of no further force or effect as of the first day of the Tail Period; (ii) Vistana shall have no right to propose New Properties or Material Changes or Expansions during the Tail Period (but will have the right to continue and complete the development of any New Properties or any Material Changes or Expansions that have been approved by Starwood pursuant to this Agreement prior to the commencement of the Tail Period), and (iii) Vistana shall not be required to pay any Base Royalty during the Tail Period. All other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the requirement to pay all fees (other than the Base Royalty) shall remain in place and be applicable during the Tail Period.

5. EXISTING PROPERTIES; DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS

5.1 Existing Properties.

A. The Existing Properties are listed on Exhibit B-1 to this Agreement. Vistana may continue to operate the Existing Properties under the Applicable System and Standards and Policies in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Existing Property may operate only under the applicable Existing Property name set forth in Exhibit B-1, which name may be changed only with Starwood’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion; provided that Starwood will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with a name change if reasonably required based on legal exposure. Except as expressly provided under this Agreement, Vistana may not voluntarily Deflag an Existing Property without the prior written consent of Starwood.

B. In the event that Vistana delegates (or prior to the Effective Date has delegated) the authority to operate an Existing Property to an Affiliate, Vistana shall sublicense to such Affiliate the right to operate the applicable Existing Property only under the form of sublicense agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, under which such Affiliate will be required to operate the Existing Property in accordance with the sublicense agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Affiliate will agree to be bound by the same responsibilities, limitations, and duties of Vistana under this Agreement with respect to such Existing Property. Vistana shall provide Starwood with a fully-executed copy of each sublicense agreement entered into hereunder promptly following its execution and will notify Starwood in writing upon the termination or expiration of any sublicense agreement. Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, Vistana shall not amend or otherwise modify any such sublicense agreement without Starwood’s prior written approval.

C. The parties understand and agree that, to the extent that the transactions relating to Existing Properties described in this Agreement constitute or could be construed as constituting a franchise sale, such franchise sale shall be exempt from the Federal Trade Commission’s Franchise Rule disclosure requirements pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 436.8(a)(6) and/or one or more exemptions or exclusions under each Applicable Law with a Registration/Disclosure Requirement. Vistana represents and warrants to Starwood that Vistana or at least one of its Affiliates is an Entity that has been in business for at least five (5) years and has a net worth of at least $5,424,500.

D. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Registration/Disclosure Requirement” means (i) in the United States, any Applicable Law with respect to the Federal Trade Commission, and any state or other jurisdiction regulating the offer and/or sale of franchises, business opportunities or seller assigned marketing plans, including all franchise disclosure and franchise registration laws relating to the Licensed Business, and (ii) outside the United States, any Applicable Law that regulates agreements or relationships which, if conducted in the United States, would be covered by the Applicable Law described in clause (i) above, in each case, that requires Starwood, Vistana, and/or any of their respective Affiliates or permitted sublicensees, prior to the grant of rights under this Agreement or the exercise of any rights as contemplated by this Agreement, to register or make any franchise related filing with any Governmental Authority and/or deliver to Vistana, any permitted sublicensees, or any other Person a related disclosure document or other information concerning those rights or the obligations relating thereto.

5.2 New Properties.

Vistana shall provide Starwood with a property approval request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, as modified by Starwood from time to time (“Property Approval Request”) for each proposed New Property. For each Property Approval Request for New Properties submitted to Starwood, Vistana shall pay to Starwood simultaneously with the submission of such Property Approval Request a property approval request fee (a “Property Approval Request Fee”) in the amount of $50,000 (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator); provided, however, that if Vistana requested a Location Confirmation for such proposed New Property in accordance with Section 5.2B(i) below, the Property Approval Request Fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Location Confirmation Fee, if any, paid by Vistana to Starwood in respect of such proposed New Property. The Property Approval Request Fee shall be inclusive of all costs and expenses incurred by Starwood in connection with providing evaluation and other approval and vetting services for each New Property in accordance with this Section 5.2, other than any Reimbursable Expenses relating to such Property Approval Request.

A. Starwood may reject a proposed New Property if:

(i) Starwood determines, in Starwood’s sole discretion, that the proposed New Property does not meet the applicable Standards and Policies (including related to construction and design);

(ii) Starwood determines, in Starwood’s sole discretion, that using the Licensed Marks in association with the proposed New Property would be reasonably likely to (a) materially interfere with Starwood’s or its Affiliate’s ownership of the Proprietary Marks, (b) pose a material risk to Vistana’s use of the Licensed Marks or Starwood’s use of the Proprietary Marks in the jurisdiction(s) in which the proposed New Property would be developed, sold, marketed or operated, (c) violate a settlement or co-existence agreement relating to the Proprietary Marks; or (d) violate Applicable Law;

(iii) Starwood determines that (a) in Starwood’s sole discretion, the location of the proposed New Property does not meet applicable Standards and Policies or is otherwise not appropriate for the proposed New Property; (b) the proposed New Property (x) jeopardizes the commercial viability of an existing Starwood Lodging Facility or Residential Property, or (y) Starwood’s ability to proceed with a proposed Starwood Lodging Facility or Residential Property that is being actively pursued by Starwood (and “active pursuit” shall commence upon the initiation of negotiations for a letter of intent with respect to such proposed Starwood Lodging Facility or Residential Property and shall continue until the earlier of the opening day of such facility or the abandonment of such facility); or (c) will be located in an Urban Location and (x) will have more than fifty (50) Vacation Ownership Units or (y) the facilities proposed to be included at such proposed New Property are not consistent with the facilities of then-comparable Vacation Ownership Properties in such Urban Location;

(iv) Starwood determines that the development of the proposed New Property would breach, or be reasonably likely to breach, any Permitted Territorial Restrictions;

(v) Vistana proposes to delegate the authority to develop, market, sell and/or operate the proposed New Property to a third party, or the proposed New Property will

otherwise involve a co-investor with Vistana, and Starwood determines that such co-investor or third-party (a) is a Lodging Competitor of Starwood, (b) is or has an Affiliate that is a Prohibited Person, or (c) will have an Ownership Interest in a permitted sublicensee sufficient to allow the co-investor or third-party (as applicable) to Control such permitted sublicensee, and does not have, in Starwood’s judgment, the necessary business experience and know-how to operate the New Property and meet the Standards and Policies;

(vi) Starwood determines that the proposed New Property is not adequately capitalized;

(vii) Starwood does not approve of the agreements proposed to be entered into in connection with the proposed New Property pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that unless changes are required to comply with Applicable Law, Starwood may not reject the proposed New Property on this basis if any agreement or document referred to in this Section 5.2A(vii) is in the same form as attached hereto as an exhibit or otherwise previously approved by Starwood (or in a modified form; provided, however, that any such modifications are immaterial or non-substantive in nature);

(viii) The proposed New Property will have three thousand (3,000) square feet or more dedicated to meeting and/or conference space;

(ix) The proposed New Property will charge a fixed price for substantially all of the following: lodging, drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), food (three (3) meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner, or open bar), gratuities, non-motorized water sports and entertainment at such New Property, and is to be located outside of Mexico and the Caribbean; or

(x) Starwood reasonably demonstrates that the proposed New Property violates, or, when completed, would result in a violation of, any other provision of this Agreement.

B. Property Approval Requests.

(i) Prior to submitting any Property Approval Request for a New Property, Vistana may, within one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to such submission, seek prior written confirmation from Starwood on a confidential basis that any proposed New Property will not be rejected for the failure to satisfy the conditions described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 5.2A above (each, a “Location Confirmation”). Vistana may request up to five (5) Location Confirmations per calendar year at no cost. For each additional Location Confirmation (if any) requested by Vistana during any calendar year, Vistana shall pay to Starwood a fee (a “Location Confirmation Fee”) in the amount of $5,000 (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator). Starwood shall respond in writing to Vistana within sixty (60) days after Starwood’s receipt of any request for a Location Confirmation. Any such solicitation of a Location Confirmation, which must be made by Vistana in good faith and solely with respect to any proposed New Property that Vistana has legitimate and documented interest in pursuing, by itself, will not trigger the obligation to pay the Property Approval Request Fee.

(ii) Starwood shall provide a written response to each Property Approval Request for a New Property within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Property Approval Request; provided, however, that in the event Vistana sought a Location Confirmation and such proposed New Property was not rejected pursuant to Section 5.2B(i), Starwood shall provide its response within forty-five (45) days. If the Property Approval Request for a New Property is rejected by Starwood, Starwood shall provide an explanation indicating with respect to the Property Approval Request, which of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 5.2A above were not satisfied based on the information and documentation provided in the Property Approval Request.

C. If Starwood does not approve the proposed New Property under Sections 5.2A and 5.2B and Vistana disagrees with such determination, then Vistana may refer the matter for Expert resolution pursuant to Section 22.6. The Expert shall make its determination based upon whether Starwood’s rejection was reasonable, given the market positioning and Standards and Policies applicable to the proposed New Property.

D. Each New Property may operate only under the applicable name agreed to by the parties, which name may be changed only with Starwood’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion; provided that Starwood will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with a name change if reasonably required based on legal exposure. Except as expressly provided under this Agreement, Vistana may not voluntarily Deflag a New Property without the prior written consent of Starwood.

E. (i) In the event that Vistana delegates the authority to develop a New Property to an Affiliate, Vistana shall sublicense to such Affiliate the right to develop such New Property under the form of sublicense agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, under which such Affiliate will be required to develop the New Property in accordance with the sublicense agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Affiliate will agree to be bound by the same responsibilities, limitations, and duties of Vistana under this Agreement with respect to such New Property.

(ii) In the event that Vistana delegates the authority to operate a New Property to an Affiliate, Vistana shall sublicense to such Affiliate the right to operate such New Property under the form of sublicense agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, under which such Affiliate will be required to operate the New Property in accordance with the sublicense agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Affiliate will agree to be bound by the same responsibilities, limitations, and duties of Vistana under this Agreement with respect to such New Property.

(iii) Vistana shall provide Starwood with a fully-executed copy of each sublicense agreement entered into hereunder promptly following its execution and will notify Starwood in writing upon the termination or expiration of any sublicense agreement. Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, Vistana shall not amend or otherwise modify any such sublicense agreement without Starwood’s prior written approval.

F. If the offer or execution of the sublicense agreement for any Existing Property or proposed New Property (including any New Property that is to be developed through

a third party) results in a requirement for Vistana to comply with regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, the preparation and provision to the property developer of a disclosure document or filing of the disclosure document or other documents with regulatory authorities, Vistana shall comply with such regulatory requirements at its sole cost and expense and provide Starwood with evidence satisfactory to Starwood of Vistana’s compliance therewith within the timeframe required by the applicable regulations. If Starwood determines that Starwood is required to comply with such regulatory requirements in connection with any Existing Property or proposed New Property, Vistana will fully cooperate with Starwood with respect to Starwood’s compliance requirements, and Starwood will not charge Vistana any amounts for costs incurred by Starwood in connection with Starwood’s compliance requirements.

G. Vistana’s obligations regarding the development of New Properties are further set forth in Exhibit E.

5.3 Undeveloped Parcels.

Parcels owned by Vistana or its Affiliates that have not been developed as of the Effective Date are listed on Exhibit B-2 (“Undeveloped Parcels”). Starwood hereby approves the Undeveloped Parcels and the Transferred Lodging Properties as sites for Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties; provided, however, that any New Properties developed on any such Undeveloped Parcel or at any such Transferred Lodging Property must be developed and operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.2 and the Standards and Policies related to construction and design for New Properties.

5.4 Material Changes and Expansions.

Except with Starwood’s prior written approval (which Starwood may withhold in its sole discretion) and subject to Section 12.5, Vistana shall not make any alterations, improvements, replacements, renewals or additions to any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property that (i) involve a significant change in the primary use of any part of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, or (ii) involve a material physical expansion, material alteration or material reconfiguration of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, (collectively, “Material Changes or Expansions”). Vistana shall provide Starwood with a Property Approval Request for each proposed Material Change or Expansion. For each Property Approval Request for Material Changes or Expansions, Vistana shall pay to Starwood simultaneously with the submission of such Property Approval Request a Property Approval Request Fee in the amount of $15,000 (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator). If any Material Changes or Expansions are approved by Starwood pursuant to this Section 5.4, Vistana shall carry them out in accordance with the Standards and Policies and Applicable Law and in the manner set forth in Exhibit E.

5.5 Properties Located at Unbranded Co-Located Hotels.

If Vistana desires to develop a Vacation Ownership Property that is located in, co-located with, or is otherwise a part of any Hotel that is not a Starwood Lodging Facility (such Hotel, a

“Unbranded Co-Located Hotel”), and Vistana reasonably determines that there may be an opportunity for Starwood to participate in the relevant project, Vistana will attempt to secure an introduction on Starwood’s behalf with the owner of the Unbranded Co-Located Hotel, but shall have no obligation to attempt to persuade such owner of the Unbranded Co-Located Hotel to pursue the opportunity with Starwood. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.5 shall restrict Vistana (or the relevant owner of the Unbranded Co-Located Hotel) from proceeding with such project without Starwood’s involvement; provided that to the extent the Vacation Ownership Property will be a New Property (i) Vistana obtains Starwood’s consent pursuant to Section 5.2, (ii) Vistana and the Hotel owner agree upon reasonable restrictions required by Starwood regarding the facilities and services to ensure a level of brand separation sufficient to avoid customer confusion as determined by Starwood in its sole discretion, and (iii) Vistana implements appropriate safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of, and to restrict the access to, the Starwood Intellectual Property (including Guest Data) and the Applicable System.

5.6 Prohibitions To Be Included in Future Franchise and Management Agreements.

A. Starwood will include in the initial draft of its future “Sheraton”-branded or “Westin”-branded Starwood Lodging Facility management, operating, and franchise agreements with third-party Hotel owners and franchisees, prohibitions on the operation, promotion and sale of interests in Vacation Ownership Properties, other than Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, at the applicable Hotel and attempt to persuade such third-party Hotel owners or franchisees (as applicable) to agree to retain such prohibitions in the applicable agreements. However, Starwood will not be required to offer any concessions to such third-party Hotel owners or franchisees in order to retain such prohibitions in the applicable agreements.

B. Vistana acknowledges and agrees (provided that Starwood meets the requirements of Section 5.6A as expressly set forth therein) that neither Starwood nor its Affiliates will have any liability under this Agreement for failure to obtain such prohibitions in such agreements under this Section 5.6. This Section 5.6 shall not affect any other obligations of Starwood and its Affiliates hereunder.

5.7 Vacation Ownership Properties at Third-Party Owned Starwood Lodging Facilities.

A. If a third-party developer of a Starwood Lodging Facility desires to have a Vacation Ownership Property as a component of or adjacent to such Starwood Lodging Facility project (the “Co-Located Starwood Lodging Facility”), and Starwood reasonably determines that there may be an opportunity for Vistana to participate in the relevant project, Starwood will attempt to secure an introduction on Vistana’s behalf with the third-party developer, but shall have no obligation to attempt to persuade such developer to pursue the opportunity with Vistana.

B. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the exclusivity provisions in Section 2.2A(i) and (ii), nothing in this Section 5.7 shall restrict Starwood (or the relevant developer) from proceeding with such Vacation Ownership Property without Vistana’s involvement nor restrict Starwood (or developer) from engaging in any activities to the extent not prohibited under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Agreement, the following activities shall not be deemed to be prohibited under this Agreement: (i) the marketing, offering, and selling of units in such Vacation Ownership Property at the Co-Located Starwood Lodging Facility to any Person, including guests of the Co-Located Starwood Lodging Facility, whether or not such guest is a member of any Brand Loyalty Program; provided that, during the term of the Noncompetition Agreement, such Vacation Ownership Property is not affiliated with a Vacation Ownership Competitor, (ii) the provision of operational services to such Vacation Ownership Property; provided that such services are also being provided to the Co-Located Starwood Lodging Facility, (iii) the placing of overflow guests of the Co-Located Starwood Lodging Facility in such Vacation Ownership Property on a transient basis, and (iv) the offering of potential customers of such Vacation Ownership Property stays at the Co-Located Starwood Lodging Facility in connection with the marketing and sale of the units of such adjacent Vacation Ownership Property; provided that Starwood will take reasonable steps to provide for appropriate brand separation sufficient to avoid customer confusion, if necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Starwood proceeds, without Vistana’s involvement, with such Vacation Ownership Property, Starwood will not, except with respect to Ancillary Amenities related to such Vacation Ownership Property, license the developer to use the “Sheraton” or “Westin” brands in connection with such Vacation Ownership Property.

C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) any Vacation Ownership Properties that are a component of or adjacent to or integrated with Starwood Lodging Facilities, and any and all shared services, marketing, sales and other activities conducted in connection therewith as of the Effective Date, are hereby permitted (and prior to the Effective Date, Starwood has provided Vistana with a list of “Sheraton”-branded and “Westin”-branded Starwood Lodging Facilities, which, to the knowledge of Starwood’s regional vice-presidents, are adjacent to or integrated with any Vacation Ownership Property that has shared facilities with or receives services from the relevant Starwood Lodging Facility or where sales and marketing for such Vacation Ownership Property is conducted in the relevant Starwood Lodging Facility); provided that the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account Starwood’s relationship with the applicable owner, developer, operator, or franchisee of the relevant Starwood Lodging Facility) to cooperate in order to reduce the impact to the Licensed Business to the extent Vistana reasonably demonstrates that the sales and marketing activities conducted pursuant to this Section 5.7C at any “Sheraton”-branded or “Westin”-branded Starwood Lodging Facility adjacent to or integrated with a Vacation Ownership Property would reasonably have an adverse effect on the Licensed Business; provided, however, that any such efforts to cooperate shall not apply with respect to any activities permitted under any contract or agreement in place as of the Effective Date; and

(ii) any Vacation Ownership Properties that are acquired by Starwood pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Noncompetition Agreement, or acquired by Starwood after the expiry of the Noncompetition Agreement, and any and all activities conducted in connection therewith as of the date of acquisition thereof, are hereby permitted.

5.8 Limitations on Licensed Business; Compliance with Contractual Restrictions

A. Starwood shall not enter into any contract or agreement that limits or restricts Vistana’s or its Affiliates’ right to engage in the Licensed Business (i) with respect to the Existing Properties (including all future phases thereof), the Undeveloped Parcels, the operation or conversion of the Transferred Lodging Properties or any other Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (including all future phases) which then have been approved for development, or (ii) in any of the following markets: Mexico; Costa Rica; the Caribbean; Hawaii; Florida; Las Vegas; New York City; Chicago; Washington D.C.; California; Arizona; Colorado; Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx; xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx (which such list may be updated from time to time by mutual written agreement of the parties), in each case without Vistana’s consent. Nothing in this Section 5.8A will restrict or limit Starwood’s or its Affiliates’ ability to grant territorial protections solely with respect to Hotels to owners, developers, operators, lessees, licensees, or franchisees of any Starwood Lodging Facilities (“Agreed Territorial Protections”), and Starwood will not be in breach of this Agreement as a result of the grant of such Agreed Territorial Protections or the enforcement or the attempted enforcement of such Agreed Territorial Protections against Vistana or its Affiliates by such owners, developers, operators, lessees, licensees, or franchisees, so long as the Agreed Territorial Protections do not restrict the Licensed Business.

B. Vistana shall abide by (i) all territorial and other contractual restrictions that are in effect as of the Effective Date, (ii) all territorial and other contractual restrictions that are agreed to after the Effective Date with Vistana’s consent, (iii) all territorial and other contractual restrictions that are implemented after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.8A and C, and (iv) all territorial and other contractual restrictions imposed by Applicable Law, in each case to the extent applicable to Starwood and/or its Affiliates relating to the Licensed Business (the “Permitted Territorial Restrictions”); provided that, in the case of the Permitted Territorial Restrictions in clauses (i) and (iii) above, Starwood has identified such restrictions to Vistana. As of the Effective Date, Starwood has not identified any territorial restrictions that would limit or restrict in any manner Vistana’s or its Affiliate’s right to engage in the Licensed Business or transient rental activity at Existing Properties, the Undeveloped Parcels or the Transferred Properties; provided that with respect to any Undeveloped Parcel adjacent to an Existing Property, such Undeveloped Parcel is developed as part of the applicable Existing Property under the name of such Existing Property. Neither Starwood nor its Affiliates shall agree to an extension of the duration, or a broadening of the scope, of any Permitted Territorial Restriction described in clause (i) or (ii) above without Vistana’s consent; provided that such consent may only be withheld where Vistana can reasonably demonstrate that the proposed extension or broadening would materially and adversely affect the then-existing operation of, or reasonably documented plans for, the Licensed Business; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Starwood or its Affiliates from extending or renewing agreements containing such Permitted Territorial Restrictions in accordance with the terms of such agreements, even if such extension or renewal has the effect of extending the duration of any such Permitted Territorial Restriction.

C. In the event Starwood requests Vistana’s consent under Section 5.8A or 5.8B, the parties agree that if Vistana does not have a legitimate and reasonably documented interest in pursuing operations in a particular market within the ten (10) years following such request by Starwood, the proposed limitation or restriction or proposed extension or broadening, as the case may be, shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the then-existing

operation of, or reasonably documented plans for, the Licensed Business, and Vistana shall not be entitled to withhold its consent. In the event Vistana’s consent is required pursuant to Section 5.8A(ii) or 5.8B, and Vistana withholds such consent, Starwood may override such denied consent, and proceed with any contract or agreement that does not expressly exclude the Licensed Business without Vistana’s prior written consent one (1) time in any three (3) year period, a maximum of five (5) times in any twenty (20) calendar year period during the Term; provided that no such override may occur with respect to Mexico, Hawaii, Florida, or Las Vegas which list may be updated from time to time by mutual written agreement of the parties.

D. For the purposes of this Section 5.8, in determining what constitutes a “market” hereunder, the relevant market will be appropriately construed in a reasonable manner, and the parties agree that any dispute as to the determination of what constitutes a market hereunder may be referred by either party for Expert resolution pursuant to Section 22.6. In the event a dispute is referred to Expert resolution pursuant to this Section 22.6, the Expert may give consideration to the concentration of Hotels and volume of tourism in the relevant market for the purposes of determining what is a reasonable area of protection.

E. In the event that Starwood or its Affiliates enters into any contract or agreement that limits or restricts Vistana’s or its Affiliates’ right to engage in the Licensed Business in any territory, without having sought Vistana’s prior written consent under Section 5.8A or 5.8B (where such failure to seek Vistana’s consent was unintentional), such action shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if Starwood can reasonably demonstrate that Vistana would not have been entitled to withhold its consent to such request pursuant to this Section 5.8.

F. Vistana shall not enter into any contract or agreement that limits or restricts Starwood’s or its Affiliates’ right to develop, operate, sell, market, license, or franchise Starwood Lodging Facilities or otherwise operate the Lodging Business, Whole Ownership Residential Business, or any other activity or business of Starwood or its Affiliates.

5.9 Conversion of Transferred Lodging Properties and Future Conversion Lodging Properties.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that on and from the Effective Date, each of the Transferred Lodging Properties shall be managed by Starwood or franchised to Vistana (as the case may be) subject to a separate agreement between Starwood and Vistana or their respective Affiliates (each, an “Existing Hotel Management Agreement” and a “Hotel Management Agreement”) and in the event that Vistana in the future acquires any Hotels with the intent of having such Hotels become Starwood Lodging Facilities and for the purpose of converting such Starwood Lodging Facilities to Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (the “Future Conversion Lodging Properties”), one or more of the Future Conversion Lodging Properties may be managed by Starwood or franchised to Vistana pursuant to a separate agreement between Starwood and Vistana or their respective Affiliates (each, a “Future Hotel Management Agreement” and a “Hotel Management Agreement”). To the extent that any or all of the rooms at a Transferred Lodging Property or a Future Conversion Lodging Property, as applicable, are deemed converted into one or more

Licensed Vacation Ownership Units pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hotel Management Agreement, the converted Licensed Vacation Ownership Units shall be treated as part of or deemed to constitute a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property hereunder and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, upon termination of the applicable Hotel Management Agreement due to conversion of a sufficient number of rooms at the Transferred Lodging Property or Future Conversion Lodging Property, as applicable, such that such Transferred Lodging Property or Future Conversion Lodging Property, as applicable, is treated as converted in its entirety to a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property under the applicable Hotel Management Agreement, such Transferred Lodging Property or such Future Conversion Lodging Property, as the case may be, shall, in its entirety, be deemed to be a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property hereunder and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vistana and its Affiliates shall be required to comply with this Agreement prior to any such conversion to the extent the applicable Hotel Management Agreement requires such compliance prior to conversion.

5.10 Association Management Services.

As of the Effective Date, Vistana is providing certain association management services to the Residential Properties as agreed to in writing between Starwood and Vistana or their respective Affiliates (“Existing Association Management Services”). During the Term (and any Tail Period), Vistana shall continue to provide the Existing Association Management Services for such properties pursuant to the terms of separate agreements related thereto. At Starwood’s request, Vistana will provide association management services for any additional Residential Properties or Residential Units reasonably requested by Starwood from time to time on terms substantially consistent with the Existing Association Management Services (including with respect to the scope of services, structure, performance standards, and fee structure taking into account the GDP Deflator, to the extent applicable) pursuant to separate agreements with Starwood or the homeowners associations for the Residential Properties. In the event that Starwood determines to provide such association management services or source services with another provider of association management services, then upon Starwood’s request Vistana shall reasonably cooperate in the transitioning of such services, including considering, in good faith, any request to transition to Starwood or its designee Individuals employed by Vistana but primarily providing services with respect to the Residential Properties.

6. CENTRALIZED SERVICES

6.1 Centralized Services.

Starwood shall provide or make available to Vistana for use in the operation of each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property those programs and services that it provides or makes available on a centralized basis to substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or to a category thereof in which the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility (the “Centralized Services”). Starwood or any of its designees shall have the exclusive right to maintain and administer the Centralized Services. The Centralized Services may be provided by one or more of Starwood, its Affiliates, or any third parties designated by Starwood, and Starwood may own or have investments in the suppliers and other providers of the Centralized Services. Starwood may (i) change the structure,

scope, delivery and terms of any Centralized Service, (ii) add a new, or discontinue all or part of an existing, Centralized Service or (iii) make a mandatory Centralized Service optional, or an optional Centralized Service mandatory, in each case as Starwood deems advisable from time to time; provided that such changes are applicable to the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities.

6.2 Participation in Centralized Services.

Unless Starwood agrees in writing to an exception with respect thereto (including, without limitation, due to differences between the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities), each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property shall participate in all Centralized Services that Starwood designates as mandatory and may participate in any of the Centralized Services made available to Vistana that Starwood designates as optional; provided that, in each case, the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is treated in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities are treated, or a category thereof in which the affected Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility. The Centralized Services may not benefit all participants proportionately. Vistana shall comply with all Standards and Policies applicable to the Centralized Services in which a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property participates, including executing any related documents. Vistana at its expense shall purchase and install all Equipment and Supplies necessary for a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property to participate in the Centralized Services required under this Agreement or any other written agreement between Starwood and Vistana or their respective Affiliates. Vistana shall provide Starwood with at least ninety (90) days’ notice to terminate a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property’s participation in an optional Centralized Service, unless the termination is in connection with such termination by at least four (4) other Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, in which case the notice period shall be at least one (1) year. Vistana shall not use the Centralized Services in connection with any other property, site, business, product, service or activity at any time (other than those services being offered to and paid for by any of the Licensed Unbranded Properties) or allow any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property to participate in any program or receive any services that are similar to the mandatory Centralized Services, without Starwood’s prior approval. Starwood has provided to Vistana a true and complete list of all mandatory Centralized Services as of the Effective Date.

6.3 Centralized Services Charges.

A. Fees for Centralized Services with respect to each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property (“Centralized Services Charges”) shall be determined by Starwood on a fair and commercially reasonable basis in a manner consistent with the manner in which such charges are made with respect to substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or a category thereof in which the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility receiving the services or participating in the programs and systems to which such fees, expenses or costs are applicable, subject to modifications agreed to in writing by Starwood and Vistana (including, without limitation, those due to differences between the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities). The Centralized Services Charges may include amounts reasonably calculated to cover Starwood’s or its Affiliates’ overheads and other costs incurred in providing (or arranging for the provision of) the Centralized Services, including costs of personnel and equipment and

developing, promoting, operating, maintaining and upgrading the Centralized Services and associated Starwood Technology. The Centralized Services Charges also may include fees and costs from third-party providers of Centralized Services, or if Starwood or its Affiliates pay such fees or costs directly, Vistana shall reimburse such amounts. Starwood may increase or decrease any Centralized Services Charges from time to time; provided that such changes are applicable to substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or to a category thereof in which the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility, subject to any appropriate modifications agreed to in writing by Starwood to reflect appropriate differences between the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities and such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property. The Centralized Services Charges might not benefit all participants proportionately and Starwood and its Affiliates shall determine in their sole discretion how and when the Centralized Services Charges, including but not limited to funds collected for sales and marketing, are spent and allocated on behalf of a region, locality or subset of participants. The Centralized Services do not create any trust and Starwood and its Affiliates do not act as trustee or in any other fiduciary capacity with respect to the Centralized Services Charges.

B. The Centralized Services Charges for mandatory Centralized Services shall be calculated to reimburse costs, including pass-through fees of third-party suppliers, and shall not include a xxxx-up that results in a profit for Starwood or its Affiliates. In any given year the amount of Centralized Services Charges collected might differ from the cost of delivering Centralized Services and Starwood may use any surplus to fund the deficit from a previous year or the delivery of Centralized Services in a future year. Any such surplus, and any interest earned on the Centralized Services Charges retained by Starwood, shall not be deemed a profit. Starwood and its Affiliates may accept marketing or promotional funds from manufacturers and suppliers of goods or services made available through a Centralized Service. Such funds shall be used for programs intended to benefit the brands covered by the Licensed Marks and/or other Starwood brands and in accordance with any manufacturer or supplier requirements.

C. The Centralized Services Charges for optional Centralized Services may include a xxxx-up that results in a profit for Starwood or its Affiliates. Starwood and its Affiliates may use the systems, resources and assets related to the Centralized Services to deliver products, services and programs to third parties for a profit by way of a trademark license fee, xxxxx xxxx up, administrative fee, commission, sale-leaseback arrangement, contribution for marketing or promotions and other forms of compensation.

6.4 Vistana Services.

Vistana may, from time to time, make available to Starwood for use in its business any centrally offered marketing or sales programs that Vistana uses in or makes available to the Licensed Business, which Starwood may accept or decline to use, in its sole discretion.

7. OPERATIONS

7.1 Standard of Operation.

A. Standards and Policies. Starwood shall make the Standards and Policies, including any revisions and updates, available to Vistana in electronic form or such other format as Starwood may specify. Starwood shall have no obligation to provide Standards and Policies in a language other than English. Vistana at its expense shall maintain the necessary equipment at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties to access and use in a secure manner the up-to-date Standards and Policies. If there is any dispute as to the contents of the Standards and Policies, the master versions maintained by Starwood shall control.

B. Operating the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Business. Vistana will operate the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Business in strict compliance with the Standards and Policies, and implement all parts of the Applicable System. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Vistana shall:

(i) not use or permit the use of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property for any other purpose or activity without Starwood’s prior written approval, which Starwood may withhold in its sole discretion;

(ii) operate each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property at a high moral and ethical standard and atmosphere and in a clean, safe and orderly manner, providing efficient, courteous and high-quality service to the public;

(iii) not take any action that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect Starwood or its Affiliates, the Licensed Marks or the System (including the Trademarks) or the goodwill associated with them;

(iv) comply with the Privacy Policy;

(v) keep the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties open and operating twenty-four (24) hours a day, every day during the Term (and any Tail Period), and keep the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties’ facilities open for the minimum hours prescribed in the Standards and Policies, except in each case to the extent (a) required for any Material Changes or Expansions under Section 5.4, or other refurbishments or capital improvements under Section 12, or (b) the closure of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property has been approved by Starwood due to the seasonal nature of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and Owner use patterns (including decreased Owner use in low demand seasons);

(vi) purchase or lease, install, use, maintain, update, repair and replace all Equipment and Supplies required by Section 7.5 and not install or use, or permit to be installed or used, at or in connection with the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, any Equipment and Supplies that do not comply with the Standards and Policies;

(vii) offer for sale at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties all goods and services as required to comply with the Standards and Policies and no goods or services inconsistent with the Standards and Policies, except as approved in writing by Starwood;

(viii) determine and communicate all charges for guest rooms and goods and services provided at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in compliance with Applicable Law and, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Standards and Policies (including any promotional programs offered to the public);

(ix) comply with all Standards and Policies relating to customer, Owner and guest services, (including but not limited to the quality assurance requirements set forth in Section 7.8), respond promptly to complaints, ensure positive customer, guest and Owner relations and participate in all surveys and complaint resolution procedures and programs required by Starwood; and

(x) comply with all restrictions and requirements set forth in Starwood’s promotional, marketing or other alliance programs in place as of the Effective Date to the extent they apply to Vistana following the Effective Date and Starwood has identified in writing such restrictions and requirements to Vistana.

C. Modification of Applicable System.

(i) Starwood may from time to time change, add to or remove parts of the Applicable System (including the Standards and Policies) to respond to market trends, customer demands, economic conditions, technological advances and Applicable Law or for other reasons, and Vistana, at its expense, shall implement or comply with such modifications to the extent applicable to the Licensed Business and with appropriate modifications to reflect appropriate differences between hotel service levels and service levels applicable to the Licensed Business. Starwood shall provide Vistana with notice of any modifications to the Applicable System, in a manner consistent with the manner in which such notice is given to substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or a category thereof in which the affected Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties would be included if they were Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities; provided, however, that if Vistana, in good faith, objects to the applicability of such modifications to the Licensed Business, it shall promptly notify Starwood thereof and the parties shall discuss the matter in good faith and attempt to resolve such dispute. If the parties cannot resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days, either party may refer such dispute for Expert resolution pursuant to Section 22.6.

(ii) Starwood may grant a variance or exemption from any Standards and Policies based on any conditions that Starwood in its sole discretion deems to be of importance to the operation of a particular Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or category of property, including the characteristics of a particular location or circumstance, differences from the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities, business potential or Applicable Law. Except for those variances designated as “permanent variances” by agreement of Starwood and Vistana which require the agreement of both parties to revoke (including the list of “permanent variances” provided by Starwood to Vistana prior to the Effective Date), Starwood shall have no obligation to grant to Vistana the same or similar variance or exemption then-granted or previously granted to Vistana or any Starwood Lodging Facility. Vistana shall have no recourse against Starwood due to any variance or exemption granted to any Starwood Lodging Facility.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, where a modification to the Applicable System would require Vistana to increase the maintenance fee assessment at any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, then the implementation of such modification may be delayed

until the next annual maintenance fee budget process at such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property; provided that an assessment that significantly increases the annual maintenance fee may need to be phased over multiple years to the extent reasonable under the circumstances, giving consideration to the amount to be collected; provided, however, that where the change is reasonably required to (a) comply with any Applicable Law, (b) avoid or minimize any risk of injury to individuals or damage to the applicable Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, or (c) avoid or minimize any risk to Starwood and its Affiliates of criminal or civil liability, Vistana shall be required to make or cause to be made such changes as soon as reasonably required by Starwood. Where implementation of any modification is delayed or takes place in phases as contemplated by this Section 7.1C(iii), Vistana shall comply with Starwood’s reasonable directions as to the priority that should be given to the implementation of such modifications.

(iv) Vistana may, at the annual meeting between the parties described in Section 11.C, propose modifications to the Applicable System that would not impose an unreasonable burden or cost on Starwood or any of its Affiliates. Starwood shall determine whether or not to make such modifications and have the modifications become part of the Applicable System.

D. Compliance with Laws. Vistana shall lawfully obtain and maintain all Approvals required for the operation of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (and the development of any New Properties and any Material Changes or Expansions), operate the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in compliance with Applicable Law and all Approvals, including any Applicable Law that affords protections to Individuals with disabilities, and promptly cure any violation. Starwood shall have no obligation to ensure that the Standards and Policies comply with Applicable Law and if any Standards and Policies would violate any Applicable Law, Applicable Law shall prevail.

E. No Gaming. Vistana shall not (i) operate or permit the operation of a casino or any other gambling activities at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (except for those which are incidental to a reputable event of short duration held at a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property) or (ii) otherwise directly or indirectly associate with any gambling or gaming license activity, in each case without Starwood’s prior approval, which Starwood may withhold in its sole discretion.

F. Vistana’s Debts and Taxes. Vistana shall have sole responsibility for all debts, liabilities and obligations incurred in the operation of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (and the development of any New Properties and any Material Changes or Expansions) and the operation of the Licensed Business generally, and shall make all such payments when due, including all Taxes imposed on Vistana. Starwood shall have no liability for any such debts, liabilities or obligations. If Vistana in good faith disputes any liability for such amounts, Vistana may contest such liability in accordance with Applicable Law; provided that Vistana shall not permit a tax sale, seizure or attachment to occur against the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or any of its assets. Unless specifically stated in this Agreement that Starwood is to bear a specific cost (and regardless of whether the words “at Vistana’s expense” are used), Vistana is solely responsible for all costs incurred with respect to the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Vacation Ownership Business and Vistana’s performance of this Agreement.

G. Notice Regarding Legal Actions. As soon as reasonably practicable (but always within ten (10) Business Days), Vistana shall give Starwood notice of (i) any occurrence that reasonably could materially adversely affect any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or the Licensed Business, or the financial condition of Vistana or its shareholders, or with respect to which the amount in controversy relating to the Licensed Business exceeds five million dollars ($5,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) (ii) any communication from a Governmental Authority alleging that any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or the Licensed Business fails to comply with any Applicable Law, or any other governmental instrumentality that may materially adversely affect the operation or financial condition of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, Starwood or Vistana or the Licensed Business or (iii) any legal action or proceeding of which Vistana becomes aware that (a) names Starwood or its Affiliates, or (b) would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Vistana, Starwood, any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, the Licensed Business or Starwood’s businesses. Nothing in this Section 7.1G, however, will abrogate any notice requirement that Starwood or Vistana may have under any insurance program or contract.

7.2 Management of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Vistana shall self-operate each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, and shall not permit any other Person to operate any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property; provided, however, that: (i) Vistana may delegate certain management and non-management functions in accordance with Section 7.7; (ii) Starwood or its Affiliates may operate certain Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (“Starwood Managed Properties”) under separate management agreements (“Starwood Management Agreements”); and (iii) certain aspects of certain Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties may be subject to shared service and integrated facility arrangements with co-located Starwood Lodging Facilities and managed in whole or in part by the manager of such Starwood Lodging Facilities.

Starwood does not have the right to exercise or assume any direction or control over the employment practices, policies or decisions of Vistana, including without limitation, the hiring, training, supervision, discipline, discharge, performance, assignment of duties, setting of wages, or any other aspects of employment. Vistana shall be solely responsible for all employment decisions, regardless of whether Vistana requests or receives input from Starwood regarding any such decision.

B. Vistana shall ensure that each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property’s staff completes, to Starwood’s satisfaction, all training programs designated as mandatory in the Standards and Policies from time to time, at the time and place designated by Starwood. Vistana shall pay all costs of such training programs, including salaries, transportation, accommodation and meals for trainers and trainees. Training programs provided by Starwood shall be conducted in English only and Vistana at its expense may provide a translator. Starwood reserves the right to require that employees of Vistana or its Affiliates and other Individuals receiving training execute confidentiality agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Starwood.

7.4 Marketing.

A. Subject to this Section 7.4, Vistana shall (i) conduct advertising, marketing, promotional and public relations programs and activities for each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and the Licensed Business in accordance with Standards and Policies, (ii) with respect to each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, join, and remain a member in good standing of, such advertising and marketing cooperative groups that Starwood may require for Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or for a category thereof in which the applicable Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility, and (iii) obtain and maintain listings of each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in appropriate directories and any promotional materials that Starwood requires for Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or for a category thereof in which the applicable Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility.

B. Vistana may only enter into marketing arrangements with respect to the Licensed Business with third parties that are consistent with the brand positioning of the Licensed Business, are in compliance with the Standards and Policies, and for which Starwood provides its prior written consent.

C. Marketing Content.

(i) Starwood and Vistana shall work together in good faith to develop Marketing Content and templates thereof to support the Licensed Business (including sales of interests in Licensed Vacation Ownership Units and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units) and to agree upon the manner and the mediums (e.g., print, website) in which such Marketing Content and templates can be used. Vistana shall submit Marketing Content to Starwood to review and approve in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Standards and Policies, including the marketing review processes. Starwood has provided approval of templates and other Marketing Content identified for use as of the Effective Date. Vistana shall not make any material modifications or changes to any Marketing Content approved by Starwood, without obtaining Starwood’s prior written approval. Vistana shall promptly make changes to its Marketing Content that does not comply with this Agreement or that Starwood believes does not comply with the Standards and Policies or Applicable Law. If Starwood subsequently withdraws its approval of any Marketing Content, Vistana shall promptly cease the use, distribution or dissemination of any such unapproved items. Notwithstanding

anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, Starwood’s review and approval of any Marketing Content shall not constitute any judgment or determination by Starwood that such Marketing Content is in compliance with Applicable Law.

(ii) Vistana shall provide Starwood with representative samples of any advertising, marketing, promotional, or public relations materials and other Marketing Content associated with Vistana’s marketing initiatives and programs, as reasonably requested by Starwood.

(iii) Vistana shall not, without the prior written approval of Starwood, bid on or purchase placement rights for any keywords or adwords that incorporate any of the Licensed Marks, the Trademarks or anything similar to them or use any advertising method that creates or overlays links or banners on websites by using the Licensed Marks, the Trademarks or anything similar to them.

(iv) Starwood may obtain, and upon request, Vistana at its expense shall obtain and provide to Starwood, photographs, descriptive content, video, floor plans and other media relating to the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties. All such materials used by Vistana or submitted to Starwood and its Affiliates must be complete and accurate and comply with Starwood’s specifications. Any Marketing Content developed by or on behalf of Vistana with respect to the Licensed Business or one or more Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties generally and provided to Starwood pursuant to this Section 7.4.C(iv) may be used by Starwood or any of its Affiliates on an unlimited basis for the benefit of any Starwood Lodging Facility or Residential Property of Starwood without compensation to Vistana.

D. Vistana shall promote at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties the use of all Starwood Lodging Facilities in accordance with the Standards and Policies. Vistana shall not: (i) divert any business from the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties to any other facilities or products (except other Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, through an approved Exchange Program, or facilities or products affiliated with Starwood); (ii) sell any condominium, residential, timeshare, interval ownership or other lodging product (other than the Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and related incentives, exit programs or similar products) at the premises of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property; (iii) promote, market or advertise, at or in connection with the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, any business unrelated to the marketing and sale of products designed and intended for leisure and vacation use; provided, however, that the promotion, marketing or advertisement of Hotels, Vacation Ownership Interests and Residential Properties other than Starwood Lodging Facilities, the Licensed Business, approved Exchange Programs, and Starwood’s Residential Properties, shall be prohibited; or (iv) use any Guest Data or Starwood Confidential Information in promoting, advertising or marketing any Hotel, condominium, residential timeshare, interval ownership or other lodging product (except related to the Licensed Business to the extent permitted hereunder).

7.5 Purchasing.

A. Equipment and Supplies. Vistana at its expense shall (i) buy, lease, install, use, maintain, update, repair and replace any Equipment and Supplies designated in the Standards and Policies to be used as part of the Applicable System and (ii) maintain service contracts necessary or advisable to keep all such Equipment and Supplies working properly.

B. Approved Suppliers. Subject to Section 7.5C, Starwood may require Vistana to buy any Equipment and Supplies or services used as part of the Applicable System solely from Approved Suppliers. In designating an Approved Supplier, Starwood will consider if the prices and terms of the products or services available from such supplier are competitive with those of similar items of equal quality available on an arm’s length basis to similar companies in the hotel industry from other reputable and qualified unrelated third-party suppliers. These may be grouped in reasonable categories rather than being compared item by item. Starwood or its Affiliates may offer products and services for sale to Vistana and other Persons and Starwood may designate Starwood or its Affiliates as an Approved Supplier or sole Approved Supplier for any Equipment and Supplies and/or services. If any supplier ceases to be an Approved Supplier, Vistana may not reorder from such supplier after receiving notice of such change. Starwood will determine the number of Approved Suppliers (if any) for any product or service, which could be only one. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Starwood and its Affiliates may (i) receive payments, fees, rebates, commissions or reimbursements from suppliers (including Approved Suppliers) and other third parties in respect of any products and services purchased by the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, (ii) own or have investments in such suppliers and third parties and (iii) derive a financial benefit from the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties’ purchases of such products and services.

C. Vistana’s Right to Choose Alternative Suppliers. If Vistana wishes to buy any Equipment and Supplies or services used as part of the Applicable System (i) from a supplier who is not an Approved Supplier for the relevant item or (ii) for which no Approved Supplier has been designated, Vistana shall first provide Starwood with (a) all information that Starwood may request to assess such supplier’s ability to meet the relevant Standards and Policies, its quality controls, its capacity to supply Vistana’s needs promptly and reliably and its insurance protecting Starwood and its Affiliates from any relevant claims and (b) upon Starwood’s request, a reasonable quantity (as determined by Starwood) of samples of the applicable Equipment and Supplies. Starwood may charge Vistana or the supplier for the costs of Starwood’s evaluation. Starwood may approve or disapprove any proposed supplier, may approve a supplier conditionally and may revoke any approval. Vistana may not buy any Equipment and Supplies or services used as part of the Applicable System from a supplier disapproved by Starwood.

D. Purchasing Programs. Starwood may from time to time make available to Vistana programs through which one or more Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties may purchase goods or services under terms negotiated by Starwood. Vistana’s participation in any such purchasing program is optional and, subject to the rest of this Section 7.5, Vistana may choose to have the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property(ies) participate in all, some or none of the purchasing programs made available to it, subject to their terms. Starwood may (i) change the structure, scope, delivery, fees, costs and terms of any such purchasing program, including adding or discontinuing all or any part of a purchasing program or the goods or services provided under such program, and (ii) charge a fee for participation in the purchasing program. Starwood may accept marketing, promotional or sponsorship funds from manufacturers or suppliers, including in respect of purchases made through such a purchasing program.

7.6 Inspections; Starwood Personnel Visits; Employee Rates.

A. Inspections. Starwood and its representatives may enter the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (including all facilities) at any time without notice to inspect the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and their operations to verify that Vistana is complying with the terms of this Agreement and the Standards and Policies. Vistana shall provide such assistance as may be requested by Starwood’s inspectors to facilitate such inspections and immediately take all actions necessary to correct any deficiencies found during any inspection. If Vistana requires more than one (1) quality assurance inspection in any twelve (12) months because of Vistana’s failure to comply with the Standards and Policies or to obtain an acceptable inspection score, Vistana shall reimburse Starwood for the reasonable costs of such additional inspections. Starwood may disclose the results of quality assurance inspections to other Starwood Lodging Facilities and Residential Properties. Starwood shall have no duty or obligation to conduct ongoing inspections of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or other facilities utilized by Vistana in the Licensed Business.

B. Starwood Personnel Visits. All personnel of Starwood and its Affiliates, their representatives and third parties who travel to the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, as necessary to perform design review, training, inspections, assistance or other services for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties shall be permitted subject to availability to stay at the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and use its facilities (including food and beverage consumption) without charge and Vistana shall reimburse all Reimbursable Expenses incurred for such visits.

C. Employee Rates. All personnel of Starwood or its Affiliates or Starwood Lodging Facilities or Residential Properties may stay at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property for other business or non-business purposes at reduced rates in accordance with the Standards and Policies.

7.7 Delegation of Certain Functions.

A. Delegation to Affiliates. Vistana may delegate any function of the Licensed Business (including management and non-management functions, and sales and marketing functions) to any Affiliate of Vistana without Starwood’s prior written consent. If Vistana’s Affiliate requires use of the Licensed Marks pursuant to any such delegation, Vistana and its Affiliate shall enter into a sublicense agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, under which such Affiliate will be required to use the Licensed Marks in accordance with the sublicense agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Affiliate will agree to be bound by the same responsibilities, limitations, and duties of Vistana under this Agreement with respect to such use.

B. Property-Level Delegation to Third Parties. Vistana may delegate to any unrelated third party, any property-level, non-management functions of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, such as housekeeping, security, printing services and recreational activities, that do not involve the sales or marketing of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests, without Starwood’s prior written consent; provided that (i) the delegated functions are conducted in accordance with the Standards and Policies and

this Agreement; (ii) the delegated functions are covered by insurance policies that satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 17; (iii) any such third party to which such function has been delegated and that will have access to any Starwood Confidential Information agrees to keep such Starwood Confidential Information confidential in accordance with this Agreement, (iv) such delegate is not, and does not have an Affiliate that is, a Prohibited Person or Lodging Competitor; and (v) if such delegate requires use of the Licensed Marks pursuant to any such delegation, Vistana and such delegate enter into a sublicense agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Starwood.

C. Delegation of Other Functions to Third Parties. Other than to an Affiliate in accordance with Section 7.7A above and except to the extent set forth in Section 7.7B above, Vistana may not delegate any other functions of the Licensed Business, including without limitation, Owner services, or sales or marketing activities, without the prior written consent of Starwood.

D. Vistana Obligations Upon Delegation. No delegation under this Section 7.7 shall result in a novation of any of Vistana’s obligations under this Agreement, and Vistana shall remain liable to Starwood for any breaches of this Agreement or other acts or omissions of its delegates. Vistana shall provide Starwood with a fully-executed copy of each sublicense agreement or undertaking entered into in connection with such delegation under this Section 7.7 promptly following its execution and will notify Starwood in writing upon the termination or expiration of any sublicense agreement or undertaking. Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, Vistana shall not amend or otherwise modify any such sublicense agreement or undertaking without Starwood’s prior written approval. For the avoidance of doubt, Vistana shall not, without Starwood’s prior consent (which Starwood may withhold in its sole discretion), delegate any functions to an unrelated third party that is, or has an Affiliate that is, a Prohibited Person or Lodging Competitor.

7.8 Quality Assurance System.

A. Starwood Quality Assurance System. Vistana acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Effective Date, Starwood administers a quality assurance system to monitor satisfaction with respect to the guest experience at Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (“Guest Satisfaction”), and that Starwood may, from time to time during the Term (and any Tail Period) update its quality assurance system, including by implementing new or modified systems to (i) monitor satisfaction with respect to the customer experience regarding sales of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests (“Customer Satisfaction”) and the Owner experience regarding services provided to Owners by or on behalf of the Licensed Business (“Owner Satisfaction”), and (ii) to ensure that each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is operated in compliance with the Standards and Policies. During the Term (and any Tail Period) Vistana shall, at its cost, accept and comply with any quality assurance system reasonably implemented by Starwood from time to time and notified to Vistana, as contemplated by this Section 7.8A.

B. Vistana Quality Assurance System. In the event that Vistana wishes to implement its own quality assurance system with respect to any aspect of the Licensed Business, Vistana shall provide Starwood with details of such proposed system for Starwood’s prior review and written consent. Provided a quality assurance system is approved by Starwood pursuant to

this Section 7.8B, such system may be implemented by Vistana, at Vistana’s cost; provided, however, that the implementation of such system shall not in any way limit Vistana’s obligation to accept and comply with Starwood’s quality assurance system under Section 7.8A. Vistana shall provide Starwood with the results of any quality assurance system it implements, with such results to be provided on a periodic basis but not less than once every three (3) months. In the event of any conflict between Starwood’s quality assurance system under Section 7.8A and a quality assurance system approved and implemented by Vistana under this Section 7.8B (including to the extent such systems would result in overlapping contact with guests, customers or Owners) Vistana shall comply with Starwood’s quality assurance system rather than the other system, to the extent of the conflict.

C. Audit. In addition to Starwood’s rights of inspection under Section 7.6A, Starwood has the right to periodically audit any quality assurance system implemented by Vistana in order to confirm the proper implementation of such system and reliability of the process and the results therefrom. Any such audits shall be at Starwood’s expense, unless such audit reveals (i) a material deficiency in the quality assurance system (other than a Starwood administered system) that adversely affects the reliability of the system or results or the accuracy of measuring satisfaction, (ii) a material deficiency in compliance with Standards and Policies, or (iii) a failure to achieve the Minimum Satisfaction Score for Customer Satisfaction, Owner Satisfaction or Guest Satisfaction (each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Deficiency”), in which case the costs of such audit shall be borne by Vistana.

D. Remedy of Deficiencies. If Starwood determines that there is a Deficiency, Starwood will notify Vistana of the Deficiency and the parties will work together to identify potential resolutions for, and agree on the measures that Vistana will take to resolve, such Deficiency.

(i) If the Deficiency is pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Deficiency and is not resolved within one hundred and fifty (150) days following Starwood’s notice of such Deficiency (or such longer period as the parties may otherwise have agreed in writing), Starwood has the right to require that Vistana implement a new or modified quality assurance system, in which event, Vistana will (a) provide Starwood with all quality assurance system material that is not included in the documentation to which Starwood has been provided access, and (b) be required to pay the fees and charges applicable to such system. If Vistana fails to promptly implement such new or modified quality assurance system in all material respects or to comply with its obligations under clauses (a) and (b) above, Starwood may issue a notice of breach to Vistana, and Vistana shall, within ninety (90) days from the date of such notice of breach, implement such new or modified quality assurance system and comply with its obligations under clauses (a) and (b) above.

(ii) If the Deficiency is pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Deficiency, and (a) the parties fail to agree on a process to resolve the Deficiency within seventy-five (75) days following Starwood’s notice of such Deficiency, or (b) the parties agree on a process to resolve the Deficiency and Vistana fails to diligently carry out the agreed upon process in all material respects to resolve the Deficiency, or otherwise fails to improve the performance of the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with such agreed upon process, then, in any such case, Starwood may issue a notice of breach to Vistana, and Vistana shall within ninety (90) days from the date of such notice of breach resolve the Deficiency.

7.9 Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties Controlled by Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association.

A. If any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property that is controlled by a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association fails to develop, operate, maintain, or renovate the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in compliance with the Standards and Policies or fails to implement the Applicable System, whether by failure to provide adequate funds to comply therewith or otherwise, Vistana shall:

(i) promptly provide the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association with notice of the failure and request that the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association cure the failure within the shorter of (a) the applicable cure periods set forth in Sections 7.8D, 19.1B, 19.2B and 19.6, as applicable or (b) the applicable cure periods set forth in the agreements governing such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property (or any longer period required by Applicable Law); provided, however, that if the failure is not capable of being cured within the applicable period, Vistana shall have the right to extend such period for such additional period as is reasonable under the circumstances if a cure is being diligently pursued, however, in no event will such additional period be more than twelve (12) months; and

(ii) until such time as the non-compliance or failure is cured, provide Starwood with such information as Starwood may reasonably request with respect to the non-compliance or failure and remediation efforts relating thereto, and provide Starwood with the opportunity to participate in all communications with the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association concerning such non-compliance or failure and remediation efforts; and

(iii) if the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association does not cure such non-compliance or failure within the applicable cure period, Vistana shall promptly issue default notices to the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association and, solely at Starwood’s request, promptly take such actions as are required to Deflag the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with the agreements governing such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. If the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association cures such non-compliance or failure prior to Deflagging in accordance with any cure rights provided in the agreements governing such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or Applicable Law, Vistana will have the right to cease Deflagging the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and maintain the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property as part of the Licensed Business.

B. If any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property that is controlled by a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association is not managed at any time during the Term (or any Tail Period) by Vistana or its Affiliates, then, at Starwood’s election in its sole discretion, Vistana shall (i) promptly take such actions as are required to Deflag the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with the agreements governing such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or this Agreement, or (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a sublicense agreement, in form and substance

reasonably acceptable to Starwood, with such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association or a third party operator of the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property approved by Starwood, for the use of the Licensed Marks and the Applicable System in connection with the management of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property within thirty (30) days of written notice being delivered to Vistana by Starwood. If the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association (or third party operator, as applicable) and Vistana do not enter into such a sublicense agreement within thirty (30) days of written notice being delivered to Vistana by Starwood, Vistana, upon the written request of Starwood, shall promptly take such actions as are required to Deflag the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with the agreements governing such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or this Agreement.

7.10 Vistana Initial Business Plan.

For five (5) years following the Effective Date, Vistana will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, undertake to execute on the Vistana business plan dated as of [ • ] delivered to Starwood prior to the Effective Date; provided that such execution is subject to (i) the availability of third party financing on reasonable terms, (ii) with respect to any individual property identified therein, the return on investment with respect to such property not being materially adversely different than contemplated by such business plan, and (iii) the absence of legal or regulatory impediments to building or converting the properties set forth therein (provided that Vistana undertakes to reasonably resolve any such legal or regulatory impediments in a timely manner). In addition, Vistana may modify such business plan to substitute alternate development or other projects that are expected to generate Variable Sales Royalties similar to the business plan. The parties acknowledge that the business plan is an estimate of the future performance of the Licensed Business and the actual performance may vary from the business plan. Accordingly, Vistana shall not be deemed in default of its obligations due to a failure to achieve the estimates in the business plan.

8. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON CONDUCT OF LICENSED BUSINESS

8.1 Offers and Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests.

A. Vistana must comply with the Standards and Policies and Applicable Law in connection with the offer and sale of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests. Without limiting the foregoing, Vistana shall be required to (i) comply with appropriate and commercially reasonable procedures and processes established by, or acceptable to, Starwood to prevent Vistana from doing business with prospective customers, Owners, purchasers or other persons in contravention of Applicable Law; (ii) comply in all material respects with applicable existing and future condominium, association and trust agreements, CC&Rs, zoning and land use restrictions, and property management agreements; (iii) comply with Permitted Territorial Restrictions; (iv) comply in all material respects with Starwood’s applicable customer and data privacy and security standards and protocols that Starwood uses in the conduct of its business as such standards and protocols apply to the Licensed Business, and (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all brokers, salespersons, marketers and solicitors (a) conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times, (b) conform to and abide by Applicable Law, (c) maintain such licenses as may be required by Applicable Law, and (d) comply with the applicable Standards and Policies.

B. Offering Documents.

(i) To the extent that Vistana proposes to distribute or disseminate (including filing with any Governmental Authority) any (a) new Offering Document (except where such new Offering Document does not differ in any material respect from an Offering Document in use as of the Effective Date (or subsequently approved by Starwood) for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property to which the new Offering Document also relates), or (b) materially modified version of any Offering Document used by Vistana as of the Effective Date (or subsequently approved by Starwood), then in each case, Vistana shall notify Starwood of such proposal and provide Starwood with a copy of such new or modified Offering Document for Starwood’s review and approval of such Offering Document or changes thereto (on the basis set forth in clause (ii) below) prior to Vistana’s distribution and dissemination thereof. Starwood shall provide its approval or proposed corrective action with respect to any of the items described in clause (ii) below, if any, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any such Offering Document from Vistana (and, if required by Starwood, the review process shall be repeated once such corrective action has been taken). In addition, Starwood may, from time to time, request that Vistana provide Starwood with copies of Vistana’s Offering Documents, and Vistana shall within ten (10) days of Starwood’s request, provide such Offering Documents. Subject to clause (ii) below, Starwood has approved the forms of the Offering Documents approved for use as of the Effective Date.

(ii) In the event that Starwood determines that any Offering Document (including any Offering Document previously approved by Starwood) (a) does not properly reflect the relationship between Starwood and Vistana and Vistana’s right to use the Licensed Marks or the rights to associate with or offer Brand Loyalty Programs, (b) is not in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, or (c) is not in compliance with the Standards and Policies (including with respect to use of the Licensed Marks), Starwood may provide notice to Vistana to this effect (along with Starwood’s proposed corrective action, if any) and Vistana shall not use the Offering Document (or permit the Offering Document to be used) until the Offering Document has been revised and approved by Starwood; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Vistana may continue to use the existing Offering Documents until the revised Offering Documents are approved by Starwood and applicable Governmental Authorities.

(iii) Vistana understands and agrees that any review of the Offering Documents conducted by Starwood shall be solely for the above-referenced purposes and not for the benefit of any other Person, and that Starwood’s review and approval shall not be deemed an approval of the legal sufficiency, marketability or other effects or characteristics thereof; provided, however, that Starwood may withhold its approval if it notices any legal deficiency in the course of its review.

(iv) Vistana shall, in providing draft and final copies of Offering Documents to Starwood, deliver the same in a searchable electronic format reasonably acceptable to Starwood (including English translations if the originals are not in English). The

electronic draft versions shall be in an unprotected softcopy format that allows edits and comments to be made directly on the same copy (such as, as of the Effective Date, unprotected “Microsoft Word” files).

C. Vistana shall, as part of the sales process, provide disclosure to each prospective purchaser in the form attached as Exhibit F, subject to modifications required by any Governmental Authority for the subject jurisdiction or that are necessary to properly describe the subject Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, and have each purchaser acknowledge receipt of such disclosure in writing, which, among other things, discloses to prospective purchasers that (i) the Licensed Business is owned and managed by Vistana; and (ii) neither Starwood nor any of its Affiliates is the developer, seller or operator of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests; and (iii) the relevant Licensed Xxxx(s) are used by Vistana pursuant to a license, and that if such license is revoked, terminated, or expires, Vistana will no longer have the right to use the Licensed Marks in connection with the Licensed Business or the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property; and (iv) the relevant Brand Loyalty Program(s) are offered or accessed by Vistana pursuant to a written agreement with Starwood or its Affiliates, and that if such agreement is terminated or expires, Vistana will no longer have the right to offer or access such Brand Loyalty Program(s) in connection with the Licensed Business or the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property. Vistana shall be permitted to incorporate such disclosure with other disclosures Vistana makes to prospective purchasers. Vistana will communicate the license arrangement to existing Owners of the Existing Properties in a form (e.g., newsletter, press release, etc.) and with content mutually acceptable to Starwood and Vistana, promptly after the Effective Date, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.

D. Logoed Merchandise.

(i) Vistana will be permitted to use the Licensed Marks on logoed collateral merchandise, such as golf shirts, other apparel and promotional items (collectively, “Logoed Merchandise”), that is provided solely to promote the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and sold solely through gift or retail shops located at Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or Sales Galleries, in accordance with the Standards and Policies. The overall level of quality and manner of sales of such Logoed Merchandise must also be in accordance with the Standards and Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, Logoed Merchandise shall only include items that are typically sold in gift shops (e.g. pencils, mugs, caps, golf shirts, etc.), and shall expressly exclude linens, beds, bedding and other furnishings and Soft Goods and Case Goods.

(ii) Vistana acknowledges and agrees that (a) Starwood has not applied for and does not maintain registrations for the Licensed Marks covering some or all of the Logoed Merchandise in any jurisdiction and has no obligation to apply for or maintain such registrations in the future; (b) Starwood makes no representations or warranties regarding Vistana’s ability to use the Licensed Marks on Logoed Merchandise in any jurisdiction or that Vistana’s use of the Licensed Marks on Logoed Merchandise in any jurisdiction will not infringe, dilute or otherwise violate the trademark or other rights of any third party; (c) Vistana’s use of the Licensed Marks on Logoed Merchandise will be at Vistana’s sole risk and without recourse against Starwood or its Affiliates; (d) Vistana will not knowingly engage in any act or omission that may diminish, impair or damage the goodwill, name or reputation of Starwood or its Affiliates or the Licensed Marks, including without limitation by utilizing any facility that

manufactures or assembles Logoed Merchandise in violation of the laws of the country in which such facility is located or in a manner that fails to comply with the International Labor Organization’s Minimum Age Convention No. 138 and the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention No. 182 (“Illegal Facilities”); (e) Vistana will comply, at its sole expense, with Applicable Law in connection with the manufacture, sale, marketing, and promotion of the Logoed Merchandise in the countries where such activities take place, including without limitation any prohibitions against Illegal Facilities; (f) at Starwood’s request, Vistana will promptly provide to Starwood representative samples of then-current Logoed Merchandise and any associated packaging and displays; (g) at Starwood’s request, Vistana will promptly make any changes to its Logoed Merchandise or its uses of the Licensed Marks on Logoed Merchandise that do not comply with this Section 8.1D, or that Starwood believes, in its sole discretion, (and so notifies Vistana) do not comply with the Standards and Policies; (h) Vistana will use the Licensed Marks on Logoed Merchandise in accordance with the then-current Standards and Policies; and (i) Vistana shall promptly cease use, distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of Logoed Merchandise bearing the Licensed Marks in any jurisdiction where Starwood requests such use to cease as a result of a claim or challenge raised by a third party or if Starwood in its sole discretion believes such use diminishes, impairs or damages the goodwill, name or reputation of Starwood or its Affiliates or the Licensed Marks.

8.2 Transient Rentals of Vacation Ownership Units.

A. Subject to Section 9.3, Vistana shall have the right, acting reasonably and in good faith, to engage in the transient rental of inventory of Licensed Vacation Ownership Units and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units that: (i) are held for development and sale and owned by Vistana, its Affiliates or a Property Owners’ Association; (ii) are controlled by Vistana or its Affiliates as a result of Owner participation in programmatic elements of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests (e.g., exchange, banking, borrowing, Brand Loyalty Program trade, and similar programs); or (iii) are controlled by Vistana or its Affiliates or a Property Owners’ Association as a result of Owner default (e.g., maintenance fee defaults or financing defaults) pending foreclosure or cure in the ordinary course of business; in each case provided that (a) such transient rental would not violate any then-existing Permitted Territorial Restriction, and (b) Vistana does not list, promote, rent or sell any Licensed Vacation Ownership Unit or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Unit inventory for transient rental that is controlled or owned by Vistana or its Affiliates through any distribution channels of a Business Competitor; provided, however, that, for the purposes hereof, any distribution channels included within Starwood’s channel standards or otherwise approved by Starwood (including as set forth in Section 8.4 and as otherwise used by Vistana prior to the Effective Date) shall not be deemed distribution channels of a Business Competitor for the purposes of this Section 8.2A.

B. With respect to New Properties, Starwood will evaluate the territorial or other contractual or legal restrictions applicable to Starwood or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Property Approval Request process for New Properties described in Section 5.2. If Starwood determines that any transient rental activity would violate any then-existing Permitted Territorial Restriction, then Starwood shall so notify Vistana, and Vistana shall not be permitted to engage in such transient rental activity to the extent such transient rental activity would violate such Permitted Territorial Restriction and for so long as such restriction remains in effect.

C. If any transient rental activity of Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units is materially greater than the transient activity (i) projected by Vistana as of the Effective Date with respect to any Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties under development as of the Effective Date, (ii) subsequently approved pursuant to Section 5.2, or (iii) occurring prior to the Effective Date, as applicable, in any such case as a result of:

(a) a material change in Vistana’s sales and marketing activities at the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property such that a significant number of Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units which were intended or proposed to be promoted for sale are, instead, held and used for transient rental purposes on a sustained basis, or

(b) any action by Vistana intended to materially alter how Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units at such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property are used by the respective Owners so as to induce a substantial increase in inventory for transient rental on a sustained basis,

such that it has become so prevalent that such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property’s operations are more consistent with a Hotel than a Vacation Ownership Property (in either case, “Prevalent Transient Rental Activity”), then Starwood shall so notify Vistana of such Prevalent Transient Rental Activity, and Vistana and Starwood shall meet within thirty (30) days of Starwood’s notice to discuss the nature of the concern and agree in good faith what, if any, corrective action should be taken to reduce the Prevalent Transient Rental Activity. If the parties cannot agree upon any corrective action within thirty (30) days after such meeting, or the agreed upon corrective action does not resolve such Prevalent Transient Rental Activity within the time period agreed by Starwood and Vistana, then, (x) upon written agreement between the parties, the fees payable by Vistana under this Agreement shall be adjusted to compensate Starwood for the Prevalent Transient Rental Activity, or (y) upon Starwood’s written notice, Vistana shall, at its expense, promptly take such actions as Starwood reasonably requires, which may include (1) reducing the Prevalent Transient Rental Activity at the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property; provided that no such action would reasonably have an adverse effect on (A) Vistana’s ability to utilize the Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units for preview stays for marketing purposes or (B) an Owner’s ability to occupy as a result of its interests therein, or to exchange through an approved Exchange Program its rights to use, the Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units or (2) Deflagging the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property pursuant to Section 20.1.

8.3 No Affiliation with Other Brands/Businesses.

A. Without Starwood’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Starwood’s sole discretion, neither Vistana, whether itself or through an Affiliate, nor any permitted sublicensee of Vistana, shall affiliate or use the Starwood Intellectual Property in conjunction, or association, with any other company, brand, trademark, product, service, or business other than the Licensed Business, or use the Starwood Intellectual Property in a way that could reasonably be interpreted as endorsing, or suggesting affiliation with, any other

company, xxxxx, xxxx, product, service or business (other than marketing alliances and exchange affiliations of Vistana and its Affiliates in effect prior to the Effective Date and other marketing alliances, exchange affiliations and similar arrangements permitted under this Agreement), including by utilizing the same words, terms, designs or other elements or nomenclature in the operation and marketing of the Licensed Business and such other company, xxxxx, xxxx, product, service or business.

B. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent Vistana or its Affiliates from creating, developing, operating, licensing, or managing its own brand or system for Vacation Ownership Properties or Vacation Ownership Interests or for any other businesses; provided that Vistana does not use the Starwood Intellectual Property, the Applicable System, or the Starwood Confidential Information in connection with any business other than the Licensed Business, and Starwood and Vistana have agreed on a separation plan and other appropriate measures to (i) distinguish and separate the Licensed Business from Vistana’s other businesses, and (ii) protect against misuse of Starwood Confidential Information and against inappropriate sharing or discussion of pricing and other sensitive information.

C. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3, and Section 13.2A(vi)(b), Vistana may engage in a Vacation Ownership Business under or in connection with brands other than the Licensed Marks; provided that no Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties may be operated by Vistana or its Affiliates under another brand unless: (i) such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is removed from the Applicable System (a) at Starwood’s request by Vistana in good faith for failure of a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to comply with the management agreement (whether by failure to provide adequate funds to maintain the Standards and Policies or otherwise), or (b) if Vistana makes a commercially reasonable determination (and Starwood agrees with such determination) that such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property no longer adequately represents the then-current Licensed Vacation Ownership Property brand positioning; or (ii) Starwood terminates Vistana’s right to operate such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting Vistana’s obligations under Section 20.1, Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is removed from the Applicable System for purposes of this Section 8.3C when no customer-facing sales assets or facilities that contain or display any of the Starwood Intellectual Property are used by Vistana at or for such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and no Starwood Intellectual Property is used to promote, market or sell any other product or service at or for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property.

8.4 Exchange Programs.

A. Vistana shall not create or operate any Exchange Programs (“Vistana Exchange Programs”) or participate in any third party Exchange Programs involving Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties during the Term (or any Tail Period), or make any other products or services available to Owners in connection with the Licensed Business (other than those products or services expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement), except in each case with Starwood’s prior written consent. As of the Effective Date, [Starwood](1) Vacation Network, [Starwood](2) Residence Network, Vistana Vacation Club,

(1) NTD: To be renamed prior to closing to remove the name Starwood.

(2) NTD: To be renamed prior to closing to remove the name Starwood

[Starwood](3) Pacific Vacation Club, and [Starwood](4) West Vacation Club are the only approved Vistana Exchange Programs, and Interval International Exchange Program is the only other approved Exchange Program. Vistana shall continue to operate each such Vistana Exchange Program and continue to participate in each such Exchange Program in the same manner as the operation thereof and participation therein immediately prior to the Effective Date. Vistana shall obtain Starwood’s written consent prior to modifying any feature of any such Vistana Exchange Program (including the addition or removal of any Vacation Ownership Properties participating therein or any change in the rights or obligations of Owners in connection with any such Vistana Exchange Program). If any feature of an Exchange Program that Vistana participates in as of the Effective Date should change during the Term (or any Tail Period), Vistana shall be required to obtain Starwood’s consent to Vistana’s ongoing participation in such Exchange Program; provided that Starwood’s consent shall not be required for any changes to the Interval International Exchange Program, so long as (i) the Interval International Exchange Program remains a general Exchange Program in which other Vacation Ownership Business operators participate and such changes are adopted generally across the system; and (ii) such changes would not cause (a) the Interval International Exchange Program to become a Distribution Platform that is competitive with Starwood’s Lodging Business, or (b) Vistana to be in violation of Section 10 of the SPG Affiliation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Starwood does not waive any claims related to misuses of the Licensed Marks in connection with any Exchange Program first arising after the Effective Date.

B. With respect to any Vistana Exchange Program proposed after the Effective Date, Vistana shall provide Starwood with reasonably detailed specifications regarding such Vistana Exchange Program (including how such Vistana Exchange Program will be operated, the rights and obligations of Owners in connection with such Vistana Exchange Program, and the specific defined criteria for determining whether a Vacation Ownership Property may be included in such Vistana Exchange Program) (“Exchange Program Specifications”).

C. Vistana shall operate each Vistana Exchange Program approved by Starwood in accordance with the applicable Exchange Program Specifications approved by Starwood, and shall obtain Starwood’s written consent prior to modifying any Exchange Program Specifications. Vistana may include any additional Vacation Ownership Property in any Vistana Exchange Program; provided that the inclusion of such Vacation Ownership Property complies with the criteria for the addition of Vacation Ownership Properties in the Vistana Exchange Program set forth in the applicable Exchange Program Specifications. The Vistana Exchange Programs shall not include any properties other than Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and Licensed Unbranded Properties.

D. Vistana shall not facilitate the exchange by Owners of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests of their right to use and occupy a Licensed Vacation Ownership Unit or Licensed Unbranded Vacation

(3) NTD: To be renamed prior to closing to remove the name Starwood

(4) NTD: To be renamed prior to closing to remove the name Starwood

Ownership Unit for stays (or other benefits) at Hotels other than those operated or franchised by Starwood or its Affiliates, except through Exchange Programs approved by Starwood pursuant to this Section 8.4.

8.5 Licensed Clubs.

A. Vistana shall not create or operate any Licensed Club during the Term (or any Tail Period), or add any Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties to any Licensed Club, except in each case with Starwood’s prior written consent. As of the Effective Date, the only Licensed Club approved by Starwood is “Sheraton Flex.” Vistana shall continue to operate such Licensed Club in the same manner as the operation thereof immediately prior to the Effective Date. Vistana shall obtain Starwood’s written consent prior to modifying any material feature of the “Sheraton Flex” Licensed Club (including the addition or removal of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties to or from such Licensed Club or any material change in the rights or obligations of Owners in connection with such Licensed Club). For the avoidance of doubt, Starwood does not waive any claims related to misuses of the Licensed Marks in connection with any Licensed Club first arising after the Effective Date.

B. With respect to any Licensed Club proposed to be created or operated by Vistana after the Effective Date, Vistana shall provide Starwood with reasonably detailed specifications regarding such Licensed Club (including how such Licensed Club will be operated, the rights and obligations of Owners in connection with such Licensed Club, and the specific defined criteria for determining whether a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property may be included in such Licensed Club) (“Licensed Club Specifications”).

C. Vistana shall operate each Licensed Club approved by Starwood in accordance with the applicable Licensed Club Specifications approved by Starwood, and shall obtain Starwood’s written consent prior to modifying in any material respect Licensed Club Specifications. Only Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties may be included in a Licensed Club, and, unless and until Deflagged, all such Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties will be included in a Licensed Club, unless otherwise agreed to by Starwood in writing, or required by Starwood in the event a particular Licensed Vacation Ownership Property does not comply with the Licensed Club Specifications, subject to the provisions of Section 20.1 of this Agreement.

D. For the avoidance of doubt, Vistana’s rights to use the “Sheraton Flex” Licensed Xxxx for the “Sheraton Flex” Licensed Club are further set forth in Section 13.2A(v).

8.6 Changes in Programs, Services or Benefits.

Prior to making any change that Vistana reasonably believes, acting in good faith, would be a significant systemic change required in the Licensed Business, Vistana shall have the right to seek prior written confirmation from Starwood, on a confidential basis, that any such change will not result in a breach of this Agreement. In the event of a dispute regarding whether any such change will result in a breach of this Agreement (whether or not Vistana sought prior confirmation from Starwood with respect to such change), the dispute will be referred for Expert resolution pursuant to Section 22.6. This Section 8.6 is without limitation to Vistana’s obligations to obtain Starwood consent pursuant to Sections 7.4B, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5, or as expressly required elsewhere in this Agreement.

9.	TECHNOLOGY

9.1

Technology Installation and Modification.

A. Vistana will, as a cost of the Licensed Business, arrange for the purchase or lease, installation, maintenance, and use at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties of all Technology that Starwood reasonably requires in order to access the Starwood Technology or to receive the Centralized Services and the other services provided by Starwood and its Affiliates under the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the Standards and Policies and specifications provided by or on behalf of Starwood. Vistana may not use Starwood Technology for anything not specifically related to the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Business. Other Technology Vistana chooses to use in connection with the Licensed Business, shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the Standards and Policies.

B. Vistana acknowledges that such Technology described in Section 9.1A will be modified, enhanced, replaced, or become obsolete, and that new Technology may be created to meet the needs of the Applicable System and the continual changes in technology.

C. Any Technology requirements under this Section 9.1 shall be consistent with the requirements applicable to substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or a category thereof in which the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility.

9.2

Restrictions on Use of Starwood Technology.

Vistana’s use of any Starwood Technology shall be on a non-exclusive basis in accordance with this Agreement, the Standards and Policies and the terms of any other agreements between Starwood and Vistana or their respective Affiliates. Except where such restrictions are prohibited by Applicable Law, Vistana shall not, and shall not permit any other Person to (i) misuse, copy, modify, translate, disassemble, reverse engineer, decompile, create a derivative work based on, or merge with any other programs, any Starwood Technology, (ii) use any software provided by or on behalf of Starwood on any hardware other than the hardware required or approved by Starwood or (iii) use or retain any Starwood Technology for any purpose other than operating the Licensed Business in strict compliance with Standards and Policies.

9.3

Reservation System.

A. Starwood will make the Reservation System available to Vistana in connection with the Licensed Business, including for reservations relating to Owner usage, preview stays for marketing purposes, transient rental usage, and other usages of Licensed Vacation Ownership Units and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units. Vistana shall load into the Reservation System all information specified in Standards and Policies or otherwise requested by Starwood, including a description of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, rate categories, rates, charges, taxes, types of accommodations, services, conditions and

availability, and shall update such information from time to time so as to ensure its accuracy, completeness and compliance with Standards and Policies at all times. All Licensed Vacation Ownership Units and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units inventory made available by Vistana for transient rental (but not Owner usage or preview stays for marketing purposes) stays of thirty (30) days or less must be listed in the Reservation System, but such inventory shall not be included in Business Competitor’s distribution channels; provided that, for the purposes hereof, any distribution channels included within Starwood’s channel standards or otherwise approved by Starwood (including as set forth in Section 8.4 and as otherwise used by Vistana prior to the Effective Date) shall not be deemed Business Competitor’s distribution channels for the purposes of this Section 9.3A.

B. Vistana will comply with all Standards and Policies applicable to the Licensed Business related to participation in the Reservation System, including, without limitation, the prohibitions on the inclusion of transient rental inventory other than inventory in Starwood Lodging Facilities or in Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in elements of the Reservation System visible by customers, travel agents, and other members of the public. For purposes of the foregoing, Starwood and Vistana acknowledge that the seasonal nature of the Licensed Business and Owner use patterns (including increased Owner use in high demand seasons) and leisure-based use patterns (including higher weekend occupancy and lower weekday occupancy) create transient rental inventory availability patterns that may differ from those for Starwood Lodging Facilities. As such, certain Standards and Policies relating to participation in the Reservation System may not be suitable for the Licensed Business.

C. Vistana shall honor all reservations and bookings for services received through the Reservation System on the terms specified to the guest at the time the reservation was made. Neither Starwood, nor any of its Affiliates (i) has made or will make any representation, warranty or guarantee to Vistana or any of its Affiliates, users of the Reservation System or any other Person as to the accuracy, quality, timeliness or completeness of information in the Reservation System or the fulfillment of any reservation made, or (ii) has any obligation to monitor, review, verify, correct or edit any information in the Reservation System. Vistana (and not Starwood or any of its Affiliates) shall be directly responsible to Owners and guests for all information in the Reservation System, all reservations and bookings offered or made through the Reservation System and performing the services displayed in the Reservation System for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

9.4

Network Security.

Vistana at its expense shall take all actions required by Starwood or any of its Affiliates (including as set out in Standards and Policies) to protect the integrity, confidentiality and security of the Starwood Technology (including networks made available by Starwood or any of its Affiliates to Vistana) and to protect the security of the data (including Guest Data), Starwood Confidential Information and other content stored on or communicated via such systems and networks, including by inserting firewalls and other security devices between such networks and other networks or interfaces or systems of Starwood or any of its Affiliates. Starwood may make such inspections or tests as Starwood deems necessary or advisable to verify compliance with these requirements. Vistana shall not cause or permit any attempt to breach the security of any networks, software or systems of Starwood or any of its Affiliates, or the disabling, avoidance or

circumvention of any access control or security device, process or procedure established or required by Starwood or any of its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by undertaking any penetration testing or vulnerability assessments without Starwood’s prior written consent). Vistana shall notify Starwood immediately if it becomes aware of (i) any breach of confidentiality or security of the Starwood Technology and/or the data (including Guest Data) on Vistana’s network, or (ii) any attempt to breach the security of any networks, software or systems of Starwood or any of its Affiliates, or the disabling, avoidance or circumvention of any access control or security device, process or procedure established or required by Starwood or any of its Affiliates.

10.

OTHER STARWOOD SERVICES

Starwood shall review and consider in good faith Vistana requests for additions or modifications to the marketing services to be provided by Starwood and its Affiliates under the Transaction Agreements. The terms and conditions of any agreed upon additional or modified services shall be set forth in a separate agreement executed by both parties or their respective Affiliates.

11.

GOVERNANCE

A. Whenever a party has a right or discretion to grant or withhold any consent or approval, or to act or permit any action to be taken, or otherwise determine or require an action or result, then, except where expressly stated in this Agreement, such party shall make its decision or exercise its right or discretion on the basis of its reasonable business judgment, not to be unreasonably delayed. With respect to Starwood, Starwood may consider what is in the best interests of the System or the Licensed Marks at such time and may act with the intention to benefit the System and Starwood’s business; provided that Starwood does not act with the intention to benefit individual Starwood Lodging Facilities or other facilities. In granting any consent, approval or authorization, and in providing any advice, assistance, recommendation or direction, Starwood does not guarantee success or a satisfactory result. In the event a party has sought the other party’s consent, approval or authorization pursuant to this Agreement, and has not received a timely response to such request, the party seeking the consent, approval or authorization shall notify the other party’s Contact Person and such matter shall be addressed pursuant to the governance procedures set forth in this Section 11.

B. Each of Starwood and Vistana acknowledges and agrees that the other party has notified it in writing of an Individual within its organization at the vice president level or above (“Contact Person”) who will serve as the key contact person for such other party. Each party’s Contact Person shall function as the primary point of contact for the other party in connection with routine inquiries, discussion of all business matters of importance to the parties and the resolution of disputes. Although neither party will be obligated to communicate with the other party exclusively through the other party’s Contact Person, each such Contact Person will have the authority to communicate on behalf of their organization. Each party shall be entitled to replace its Contact Person by giving notice to the other party in accordance with Section 24.1.

C. The Contact Persons shall meet face-to-face quarterly during the term of the Transition Services Agreement, and thereafter (including during any Tail Period) at least

annually not later than July 15 of each calendar year, to discuss, among other matters, the parties’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement, quality assurance protocols and results, development issues, sales and marketing matters, any proposed changes to Vistana’s budget cycle, any issues relating to the cooperative relationship of the parties, and any significant systemic program or system changes proposed by Vistana or Starwood. Either party may request additional meetings if desired, and the other party shall reasonably consider such request.

D. In the event that the Contact Persons cannot resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days, the parties shall refer the dispute to their senior business executives to negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without prejudice to either party’s rights under Section 22.4. In the event the senior business executives are unable to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days, either party may then submit the dispute to mediation in accordance with Section 22.4.

12.4

Non-Routine Maintenance and Repairs.

Vistana shall carry out all maintenance and repairs, refurbishments, and other renovations in compliance with the Standards and Policies and Applicable Law.

12.5

Maintenance and Repairs by Property Owners’ Associations.

A. For the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, where Vistana has an obligation to take any action relating to a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property that is controlled by a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association, such obligation shall be limited to Vistana taking commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to take the relevant action, (where “commercially reasonable efforts” includes Vistana, its Affiliate or permitted sublicensee, in its role as manager, within a reasonable period of time and/or in reasonable phases:

(i) using reasonable efforts to propose annual budgets and/or other motions to the applicable Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association that are adequate to permit such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to comply with the Standards and Policies and the requirements of this Section 12;

(ii) using reasonable efforts to seek an Owner vote of the applicable Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association (when Applicable Law or such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association governing documents require an Owner vote) to approve, as applicable, an increase in maintenance fees and/or special assessments or other motions that are adequate to permit such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to comply with the Standards and Policies and the requirements of this Section 12, and then voting its voting interests, if any, in favor of such matters presented for an Owner vote;

(iii) using reasonable efforts to cause an Owner vote of the applicable Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to approve, as applicable, the increase in maintenance fees and/or special assessments or other motions (in accordance with Applicable Law and such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association governing documents) that are adequate to permit such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to comply with the Standards and Policies and the requirements of this Section 12, and then voting its voting interests, if any, in favor of such matters presented for an Owner vote; and

(iv) upon Starwood’s request, providing Starwood with written evidence of the steps taken by Vistana to comply with its obligations under this Section 12, (including clauses (i) through (iii) above).)

B. With respect to any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property under the control of a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association, if the Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association fails to comply with the Standards and Policies and the requirements of this Section 12 or Applicable Law, Vistana shall promptly seek to rectify such failure in accordance with Section 7.9, and shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 7.9. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Section 12.5 to a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 12 shall mean such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association’s compliance with Vistana’s obligations to take any action under Sections 12.1 through 12.4 above as if such Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association and not Vistana was required to take such action.

C. For the avoidance of doubt, where Vistana has an obligation under this Section 12 to take any action relating to a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property that is controlled by a Controlled Property Owners’ Association, or for which no Property Owners’ Association exists, Vistana’s obligation shall remain absolute, subject to the provisions of the applicable condominium and vacation ownership plan documents (which such documents shall be made available to Starwood upon request); provided, however, that where the relevant actions are restricted by the provisions of such condominium or vacation ownership plan documents, Vistana’s obligations under this Section 12 shall instead be as if the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property was controlled by a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association and governed by Section 12.5A and Section 12.5B.

B. The restrictions in this Section 14.4 shall not apply to information (other than Vistana Data) which is, or becomes, generally known in the hospitality industry or to the general public (other than through disclosure in breach of this Agreement), or to the extent such disclosure is required under Applicable Law, in which case Starwood shall provide Vistana with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment before any such disclosure.

C.

Vistana, at its expense, will maintain and preserve for at least five (5) years (or, if longer, the period of time required by Applicable Law) complete and accurate books, records, and accounts, in accordance with United States GAAP, Applicable Law, the Standards and Policies

and the Applicable System, for the Licensed Business, including, without limitation, for each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and Licensed Unbranded Property and each sale of an interest in Licensed Vacation Ownership Units and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units as well as other reasonable information that is necessary for Starwood to determine whether Vistana is in compliance with this Agreement. Vistana’s obligation to preserve such books, records and accounts will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

15.2

Reports.

A. Vistana shall, at its expense, submit to Starwood, within eight (8) Business Days after the end of each month during the Term (and any Tail Period), (i) a statement, in the form reasonably required by Starwood, containing specified sales information for such month with respect to the Licensed Business, including aggregate sales relating to Gross Sales Prices, and the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property count (showing the number of open and operating Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and Licensed Unbranded Properties and the corresponding number of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests built and that have a certificate of occupancy) as of the end of each such month, (ii) such other information as is requested by Starwood, where such request is applicable to the Licensed Business and consistent with the information required to be provided by substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or a category thereof in which the relevant Licensed Vacation Ownership Property to which such information relates would be included if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility, and (iii) such other information as is reasonably required to be provided pursuant to the Standards and Policies.

B. All information provided to Starwood under this Section 15.2 may be used and published by Starwood in connection with the System. Any such publication shall be in a form whereby the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and Vistana are not specifically identified, except where (i) required under Applicable Law, or (ii) data is provided to a Person that collects, aggregates and publishes benchmarking data.

C. Upon Starwood’s request, Vistana will, at its expense, submit to Starwood, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such request but no more often than once every calendar year during the Term (and any Tail Period), information regarding the length of the terms, renewal rights, and expiration dates of Property Owners’ Association management agreements, which information is Vistana Confidential Information.

15.3

Starwood Examination and Audit of Vistana’s Records.

A. During the Term and any Tail Period, and for three (3) years thereafter, Starwood and its authorized representatives have the right, at any time (but not more than once per calendar year, unless an audit reveals an understatement of two percent (2%) or more in such year), upon reasonable notice to Vistana and at Starwood’s cost, to: (i) examine all books, records, accounts and data (including its computers and electronic storage media) of Vistana for the five (5) years preceding such examination to ensure that Vistana is complying with the terms of this Agreement (including with respect to the calculation of the Royalty Fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement where the calculation of such amount depends on information provided by Vistana), and to copy such information that is reasonably necessary for,

and relevant to, such audit; and (ii) have an independent audit made of any of such books, records, accounts and data (including its computers and electronic storage media). Vistana will fully cooperate with, and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested related to, the audit. If an examination or audit reveals that Vistana has made underpayments to Starwood or any of its Affiliates, Vistana will promptly pay to Starwood or such Affiliate, upon demand, the amount underpaid, plus interest on the underpaid amount, which will accrue thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate from the date such amount was due until paid. If Vistana, in good faith, disputes that there was an underpayment, the parties will review the books and records in a cooperative manner in an attempt to resolve any discrepancy.

B. If an examination or audit discloses an understatement of payments due to Starwood of two (2%) or more for the period being examined or audited, or if the examination or audit reveals that the accounting procedures are insufficient to determine the accuracy of the calculation of any payments due, Vistana will reimburse Starwood for all reasonable costs and expenses connected with the examination or audit (including reasonable accounting and lawyers’ fees). If the examination or audit establishes a pattern of underreporting, Starwood may require that the financial reports due under Section 15.2 be audited by an internationally recognized independent accounting firm consented to by Starwood. The foregoing remedies are in addition to any other remedies that Starwood may have under this Agreement. Starwood’s acceptance of the payment of any deficiency shall not waive its rights arising out of Vistana’s breach.

C. If an examination or audit discloses an overpayment to Starwood, this shall be credited against future payments due to Starwood without interest, or, if no future payments are due, Starwood shall promptly refund such amount without interest.

D. To the extent Vistana is required to have access to information that is in the sole possession of Starwood or its Affiliates for purposes of Vistana’s (and Parent’s) compliance obligations with respect to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (or any successor statute) or for purposes Parent’s reporting obligations as a publicly traded company, Starwood will cooperate in providing access to the necessary information that is within Starwood’s or its Affiliates’ control and that Starwood and its Affiliates are permitted to provide under Applicable Law.

(b) any uses of the Licensed Marks by Vistana or its Affiliates that are not covered by the trademark registrations for the Licensed Marks held by Starwood or its Affiliates; or

(c) Logoed Merchandise bearing the Licensed Marks, including, without limitation, products liability and personal injury claims and claims for infringement, dilution or any other violation of Intellectual Property Rights or other rights.

C. If either party receives notice of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation for which it is entitled to an indemnity under Sections A or B, the party receiving notice shall promptly notify the other party.

D. Unless the parties otherwise agree, within thirty (30) days after an indemnifying party receives notice of a claim in accordance with Section 16.1C, the indemnifying party will defend the third-party claim (and, unless the indemnifying party has specified any reservations or exceptions, seek to settle or compromise), at its expense and with its counsel. The indemnitee may, at its expense, employ separate counsel and participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement of the third-party claim. However, the indemnifying party will pay the fees and expenses of the indemnitee’s counsel (i) for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense of the claim (other than for any period in which the indemnitee did not notify the indemnifying party of the third-party claim as required by Section 16.1C); or (ii) if the engagement of counsel is as a result of a conflict of interest, as the indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith. Notwithstanding the above, (a) if Starwood determines that the matter at issue may have a material adverse effect on Starwood, the Licensed Marks, or Starwood’s Lodging Business, then Starwood, through counsel of its choice, may control the defense or response to any such action, and such undertaking by Starwood will not, in any manner or form, diminish Vistana’s obligations to Starwood hereunder, or (b) if the matter at issue principally relates to Vistana’s interest in the Licensed Business, Starwood shall allow Vistana, through counsel of its choice, to control the defense or response to any such action, and such undertaking by Vistana will not, in any manner or form, diminish Starwood’s obligations to Vistana hereunder;provided that, in either case, the non-controlling party and its counsel shall be permitted to participate in such action at its expense.

E. Under no circumstances will any indemnitee be required or obligated to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise mitigate its losses in order to maintain a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, and the failure to pursue such recovery or mitigate a loss will in no way reduce the amounts recoverable from the indemnifying party by the indemnitee.

F. The remedies provided in this Section 16.1 are cumulative and do not preclude assertion by any indemnitee of any other rights, or the seeking of any and all other remedies, against any indemnifying party.

G. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections A or B, none of Starwood or its Affiliates or Vistana or its Affiliates will in any event have any liability to the other (including the obligation to indemnify the other party under this Section 16.1), or to any other Starwood indemnitee or Vistana indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement, for any claim to the extent it is determined pursuant to an award or decision that such damages or losses arose directly and solely from a material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking indemnification. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) a failure by Starwood to (x) inspect or note in any inspection a deficiency or noncompliance with Standards and Policies by Vistana or its Affiliate or (y) enforce compliance with any Standards and Policies by Vistana or its Affiliate, or (b) any approval by Starwood of conduct or actions of Vistana or its Affiliate shall, in either case, not be deemed a breach that would limit or otherwise affect Vistana’s obligation to indemnify Starwood.

(ii) Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, none of Starwood or its Affiliates or Vistana or its Affiliates will in any event have any liability to the other (including the obligation to indemnify the other party under this Section 16.1), or to any other Starwood indemnitee or Vistana indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (a) for claims where either party or their Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents are found to be solely responsible by a final nonappealable award or decision for such damages or losses based upon such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or (b) for any consequential, indirect, punitive, exemplary or statutory or treble damages (other than to the extent the indemnitee is liable for such damages under a court order issued in connection with a claim).

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE ANY PROMISE, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND TO THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING (I) OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NO ENCUMBRANCES, NO LIENS OR SYSTEM INTEGRATION; (II) OF CONFORMANCE TO ANY DEMONSTRATION OR PROMISE; (III) ARISING THROUGH COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE; (IV) THAT ANY ACCESS OR USE (INCLUDING ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE APPLICABLE SYSTEM AND CENTRALIZED SERVICES) WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR COMPLETELY SECURE, OR THAT ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR (V) THAT ANY GOODS OR SERVICES (INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE SYSTEM AND CENTRALIZED SERVICES) WILL MEET THE OTHER PARTY’S REQUIREMENTS.

B. Waiver of Liability.

The rights and remedies in this Agreement will be adequate in all circumstances for any claims Starwood or Vistana might have with respect thereto. Vistana shall not be entitled to damages for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with rebranding the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions allocated to any individual Licensed Vacation Ownership Property by Vistana (excluding deductibles for high hazard risks in high hazard geological zones, such as flood, earthquake, terrorism, windstorm and other catastrophic perils, which will be as required by the insurance carrier) will not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), or such higher amount as may be approved in advance in writing by Starwood.

F. All insurance purchased in compliance herewith will be placed with insurance companies of recognized responsibility and reasonably acceptable to Starwood, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, and approved to do business in the state or country where each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is located.

G. All insurance required pursuant to this Agreement will, if commercially available, (and if not commercially available, Vistana shall provide Starwood with prior notice of such non-availability) provide that the policies will not be canceled, non-renewed, or limits reduced without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Starwood. Vistana shall deliver to Starwood a certificate of insurance (or a certified copy of such insurance policy if requested by Starwood in the event of a loss) in English, evidencing insurance coverage in full satisfaction of the Insurance Requirements. Renewal certificates of insurance (or certified copies of such insurance policy if requested by Starwood in a particular jurisdiction) will be delivered to Starwood not less than ten (10) days prior to their respective inception dates. To the extent that Starwood procures any coverage(s) required herein on behalf of Vistana and itself, Starwood shall adhere to the cancellation / non-renewal notice and certificates of insurance requirements set forth in this Section 17.2G.

H. The Insurance Requirements may be satisfied under policies of blanket insurance that cover other properties of Vistana and its Affiliates so long as such blanket insurance fulfills the Insurance Requirements.

I. Vistana’s obligation to maintain insurance in satisfaction of the Insurance Requirements will not relieve Vistana of its indemnification obligations under Section 16.

J. Should Vistana for any reason fail to procure or maintain insurance in full satisfaction of the Insurance Requirements, Starwood shall have the right and authority (but not the obligation) to immediately procure such insurance and to charge the cost thereof to Vistana, which charges, together with a reasonable fee for Starwood’s expenses in so acting, will be payable by Vistana immediately upon notice.

K. Vistana acknowledges that Starwood has not made any representations or warranties regarding the adequacy or appropriateness of the Insurance Requirements, and Vistana shall be responsible for consulting with its insurance and legal advisors and procuring such insurances as it deems appropriate (without limiting Vistana’s obligation to satisfy the Insurance Requirements).

L. All limits, deductibles and/or retention included herein shall be calculated on the basis of the local currency equivalent to U.S. Dollars, at the prevailing exchange rates at time of policy inception/renewal.

M. Vistana and Starwood shall complete and execute the “Confirmation of Insurance Placement Form” (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I) to verify responsibility for procuring coverage in satisfaction of the Insurance Requirements and understand that the party placing the coverage has the obligation to construct the policy(s) so as to protect the other party’s interests as set forth herein. This form should be signed as of the Effective Date and upon any change in the coverage or Insurance Requirements.

N. Vistana hereby waives any and all rights of recovery (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its insurers waive all rights of recovery and subrogation) against Starwood and its Affiliates on account of any loss or damage to the Licensed Business or any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or any part thereof or any of its contents, or for bodily injury or property damage to third parties arising from risks actually covered or required to be covered pursuant to the Insurance Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, all coverage required to be carried pursuant to the Insurance Requirements shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance coverage Starwood or its Affiliates may otherwise carry.

17.3 Release from Liability.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party releases the other party and its Affiliates, and its and their employees, agents and representatives from any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense incurred by the releasing party (whether or not due to the negligence or other acts or omissions of the Persons so released) to the extent such liability, damage, loss, cost or expense is paid to the releasing party by an insurer under any applicable insurance policies.

17.4 Insurance Terms.

All capitalized terms used in this Section 17, but not defined in this Agreement, shall have the meaning commonly used in the insurance industry.

B.

Vistana shall not make any Transfer to a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person; provided, however, that so long as the Ownership Interests in Vistana or Parent are publicly traded on a U.S., nationally recognized securities exchange, the purchase of publicly traded Ownership Interests in Vistana or Parent by a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person shall not be deemed to be a violation of this sentence. If, however, a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person acquires a Controlling Interest in Parent or Vistana, Starwood shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, upon notice to Vistana.

18.2 Transfers by Starwood.

A. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Starwood may not assign this Agreement, or assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement, without Vistana’s prior written consent; provided, however, that without Vistana’s prior written consent, Starwood may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Person that (i) (a) is an Affiliate of Starwood that has the legal, financial and operational ability to perform the obligations of Starwood under this Agreement, or (b) acquires all or substantially all of Starwood’s rights in respect of the Applicable System, or (c) acquires (whether by purchase of stock or assets, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other corporate-level transaction) substantially all of the business and assets of Starwood or any of its Affiliates relating to any of the “Westin,” “Sheraton,” “St. Regis” or “The Luxury Collection” brands, as applicable, and (ii) assumes Starwood’s obligations to Vistana under this Agreement and, in the case of clauses (i)(b) and (c) above, such Person assumes such obligations in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, a change in control of Starwood shall not be deemed an assignment that would require the consent of Vistana.

B. This Agreement will be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, Starwood and the successors and assigns of Starwood. If, in connection with any such assignment of this Agreement, Starwood retains ownership or control of any of the underlying assets of the Applicable System or other Starwood Intellectual Property necessary to perform Starwood’s obligations under this Agreement, Starwood will continue to provide to Vistana, or to the Person assuming this Agreement, access to such assets as is reasonably necessary to comply with the

terms of this Agreement. Starwood shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person; provided, however, that so long as the Ownership Interests in Starwood are publicly traded on a U.S., nationally recognized securities exchange, the purchase of publicly traded Ownership Interests in Starwood by a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person shall not be deemed to be a violation of this sentence. If a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person acquires a Controlling Interest in Starwood, Vistana shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, upon notice to Starwood.

C. Vistana acknowledges that Starwood and its Affiliates operate as a multi-national business enterprise. Without limiting Section 18.2A, Starwood has the right to Transfer all or part of its rights under this Agreement to any of Starwood’s Affiliates and, in connection therewith, require Vistana to pay amounts due under this Agreement to such Affiliates.

18.3 Proposed Transfers to Lodging Competitors.

Without limiting Section 18.1, no Transfer (whether by purchase or exchange of stock, or purchase of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any Ownership Interest in Vistana, any Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, the Licensed Business or any Transaction Agreement will be made to a Lodging Competitor (other than any Affiliates of Vistana as of the Effective Date) that results in a Lodging Competitor obtaining Control of Vistana, any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, or the Licensed Business. Any such Transfer will be a material breach under this Agreement, and Starwood shall be entitled to enjoin or obtain a court order prohibiting such Transfer without posting a bond.

18.4 Proposed Transfers of Properties or Bulk Vacation Ownership Interests.

A. Without the prior written consent of Starwood, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, no Transfer (whether by purchase or exchange of stock, or purchase of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, or any Ownership Interest therein (other than sales of Vacation Ownership Interests in the ordinary course of business) or in any permitted sublicensee involved in such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, may be effectuated at any time by Vistana, its permitted Affiliates or permitted sublicensees unless such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property has been Deflagged.

B. Without the prior written consent of Starwood, neither Vistana nor its Affiliates or agents shall sell any Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests to any Bulk Re-Seller. A “Bulk Re-Seller” shall be any Person known by Vistana, or its permitted Affiliates or permitted sublicensees to be purchasing Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests not for personal use and enjoyment but, rather, for the purpose of reselling or distributing such Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests, where such Person purchases three (3) or more Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units or the equivalent amount of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests in any ninety (90) day period.

C. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 18.4 will be a material breach under this Agreement, and Starwood shall be entitled to enjoin or obtain a court order prohibiting such Transfer without posting a bond.

18.5 Grant of Security Interests by Vistana.

A. Neither Vistana nor Parent shall, in connection with any financing entered into following the Effective Date:

(i) transfer, assign, mortgage, or grant a security interest in, or pledge as collateral this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Starwood, which it may withhold in its sole discretion, and provided that such consent may be conditioned upon (a) the execution and delivery by the parties and the holder of such security interest of a lender letter, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1, and (b) Vistana’s reimbursement to Starwood of its reasonable costs and expenses in connection with its review of such financing; or

(ii) assign, mortgage, or grant a security interest in, or pledge as collateral any Ownership Interests in Vistana or any subsidiary of Vistana (and may not permit any Person Controlling Vistana to do the same), unless (a) the holder of such security interest is an Institutional Lender and not an Affiliate of Vistana or a Lodging Competitor or a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person, and (b) the parties and the holder of such security interest execute and deliver a lender letter, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2. In addition, Vistana shall not permit any Person Controlling Vistana to assign, mortgage, or grant a security interest in, or pledge as collateral any Ownership Interests in, such Person unless the holder of such security interest is an Institutional Lender and is not an Affiliate of Vistana or a Lodging Competitor or a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person.

Vistana and Parent shall promptly notify Starwood of any written default notices received by Vistana or Parent with respect to the financing referred to in this Section 18.5, to the extent the matters set forth in any such default notice could reasonably result in a remedy that would permit the respective lender to enforce the applicable assignment, mortgage, security interest or pledge.

For the avoidance of doubt, Starwood has no obligation to provide any assurances to any lender in the form of a “comfort letter” or otherwise in connection with any financing transaction referred to in this Section 18.5 or otherwise grant its consent thereto. If a financing has been approved by Starwood under Section 18.5A(i) or Section 18.5A(ii) above, thereafter any such lender participating in such financing shall not subsequently assign, transfer, convey or sell participations in such financing to any Person other than an Institutional Lender that is not an Affiliate of Vistana, a Lodging Competitor or a Vacation Ownership Competitor, without the prior written consent of Starwood, which consent may be withheld in Starwood’s sole discretion.

B. If a lender forecloses on, or otherwise exercises its rights against, the assets of the Licensed Business (including this Agreement), the revenues of the Licensed Business, or Ownership Interests in Vistana or Ownership Interests in any subsidiaries of Vistana, or Vistana or Parent violates this Section 18, Starwood will have the rights pursuant to Section 18.1, Section 19.1, Section 19.2 and Section 19.5 of this Agreement, as applicable,

including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement. Starwood has no obligation to license a lender, any successor to a lender, or any Person acting on behalf of a lender, including a receiver or servicer of a loan, the right to use the Licensed Marks or the Applicable System (or any aspect thereof) or any other Starwood Intellectual Property, unless that obligation arises from a valid and binding written agreement between Starwood and such party.

C. Parent shall not require Starwood’s consent under this Section 18.5 to pledge as collateral Ownership Interests in Vistana and its subsidiaries pursuant to Parent’s existing financing arrangements (as such arrangements exist as of the Effective Date); provided that the parties and the holder of such security interest execute and deliver a lender letter, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2.

(iv) Vistana or any principal, director, officer, shareholder or agent of Vistana, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, discloses, causes, or fails to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of, or otherwise uses in an unauthorized manner, any Starwood Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, and an arbitration panel under Section 22.5 determines that (a) a material breach has occurred, (b) (x) Vistana has failed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such breach or (y) such breach was intentional or resulted from Vistana’s gross negligence, and (c) such breach has or may result in the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks or Applicable System (or any aspect thereof) being so materially damaged as a result of the breach that interim injunctive relief is an inadequate remedy and that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy;

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent the Deficiencies are due solely to a failure of a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to comply with Section 12 notwithstanding Vistana’s compliance with Section 12.5, then such Vacation Ownership Unit shall be excluded from the calculation of the percentage specified in this Section 19.2A(x);

(x) at any time, the number of Vacation Ownership Units which have been operated as Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units (taken collectively) pursuant to this Agreement is reduced by thirty percent (30%), in any five (5) year period during the Term, due to Starwood having terminated Vistana’s rights to operate such Vacation Ownership Units as Licensed Vacation Ownership Units or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Units pursuant to Section 19.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Vistana’s right to operate a Vacation Ownership Unit as a Licensed Vacation Ownership Unit or Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Unit is terminated in such five (5) year period due solely to a failure of a Non-Controlled Property Owners’ Association to comply with Section 12 notwithstanding Vistana’s compliance with Section 12.5, then such Vacation Ownership Unit shall be excluded from the calculation of the percentage specified in this Section 19.2A(x).

D. Remedies. Upon any Default under Sections 19.2A, 19.2B, and 19.2C, Starwood shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (without limitation to Starwood’s right to terminate this Agreement under Sections 19.2A and 19.2B):

acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that Starwood terminates this Agreement pursuant to a termination right expressly identified in Section 19.2A or 19.2B, Starwood will, in addition to the right to terminate, have the right to seek and obtain damages with respect to the termination of the Agreement. Vistana agrees that Starwood has devoted substantial resources to developing and building the Licensed Business (including the Existing Properties, Licensed Marks and the System) and that the Licensed Business, including the significant reputation and goodwill associated therewith, has been developed by Starwood over a period of years prior to the Effective Date. Vistana further acknowledges and agrees that, in the event Starwood terminates this Agreement as a result of a Default hereunder by Vistana, it would be commercially impossible for Starwood to take measures to recreate the Licensed Business or develop an equivalent business, and, therefore, it would be unreasonable to expect or require Starwood to mitigate its damages resulting from such Default and termination;

(ii) suspend Vistana’s right to use or access the Reservation System, except for booking of Owner usage rights, in accordance with Section 9.3 of this Agreement, at any or all Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or the entire Licensed Business until the Default is cured;

(iii) suspend Vistana’s right to access and use of information included in the Brand Loyalty Programs and/or the Guest Data for sales and marketing efforts with respect to any or all Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or the entire Licensed Business until the Default is cured;

(iv) suspend or limit Vistana’s rights to develop any New Property, as determined by Starwood in its sole discretion, until the Default is cured;

(v) suspend or prohibit any New Property from opening or operating under the Licensed Marks as part of the Licensed Business until the Default is cured; and

(vi) refuse to provide any operational support or Centralized Services to any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property that this Agreement otherwise requires.

19.3 No Waiver.

The exercise by Starwood of any remedies in Sections 19.1, 19.2, 19.5 and 21.3D shall not (i) constitute actual or constructive termination or abandonment of this Agreement, (ii) be a waiver of any Default under this Agreement or (iii) prevent Starwood from terminating this Agreement as otherwise permitted hereunder or exercising its other remedies. Vistana shall pay all Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Starwood and its representatives in exercising its rights under Sections 19.1, 19.2, 19.5 and 21.3D. Vistana will not be entitled to any compensation for any expenses or losses directly or indirectly incurred as a result of Starwood’s exercise and/or withdrawal of any interim remedy.

19.4 Starwood Defaults.

A. Defaults with No Cure Period. Vistana may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Starwood, or exercise any of the remedies under Section 19.4D, in the event of any of the following Defaults:

(i) Starwood or its Affiliates fail to pay any amounts due under this Agreement to Vistana or any of its Affiliates when the same becomes due and payable and the aggregate amount outstanding that Starwood has failed to pay at any time is in excess of five million dollars ($5,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator);

(ii) Starwood or its Affiliates fail to pay any amount in excess of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) due to Vistana or any of its Affiliates when the same becomes due and payable three (3) or more times within any thirty-six (36) month period;

(iii) Vistana terminates the SPG Affiliation Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof based on Starwood’s default thereunder;

(iv) Starwood or any principal, director, officer, shareholder or agent of Starwood, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, discloses, causes, or fails to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of, or otherwise uses in an unauthorized manner, any Vistana Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, and an arbitration panel under Section 22.5 determines that (a) a material breach has occurred, (b) (x) Starwood has failed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such breach or (y) such breach was intentional or resulted from Starwood’s gross negligence, and (c) such breach has or may result in the goodwill associated with the Licensed Business being so materially damaged as a result of the breach that interim injunctive relief is an inadequate remedy and that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy;

(v) a Transfer by Starwood occurs in violation of Section 18.2, and Starwood fails to notify Vistana within fourteen (14) days following a notice of Default from Vistana that Starwood intends to unwind such Transfer or fails to actually unwind such Transfer in a manner satisfactory to Vistana within ninety (90) days following the notice of Default; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or limit Vistana’s ability to seek injunctive relief to stop such Transfer at any time;

(vi) Starwood dissolves or liquidates, except in connection with a Transfer permitted by Section 18.2; or

(vii) Starwood becomes insolvent, generally does not pay its debts as they become due, or files a voluntary petition (or consents to an involuntary petition) or an involuntary petition is filed and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, and such bankruptcy or insolvency has a material adverse effect on the Licensed Business or Vistana or Vistana’s Affiliates.

B. Defaults with a Cure Period. Vistana may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Starwood, or exercise any of the remedies under Section 19.4D, if any of the following Defaults is not cured within the applicable Cure Period following a notice of Default from Vistana to Starwood:

(i) Starwood or its Affiliates fail to pay any amounts due under this Agreement to Vistana or any of its Affiliates when the same becomes due and payable;

(ii) Starwood or its Affiliates fails to pay when due a total amount in excess of five million dollars ($5,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) under all the Transaction Agreements taken together; or

(iii) Starwood or any of its Affiliates is convicted of a felony or other similar crime or offense and such conviction is the actual and sole cause of Vistana being prevented from obtaining or retaining the licenses that it requires to continue operating the Licensed Business at all, or substantially all, of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Business is so materially damaged that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy.

For the purposes of this Section 19.4B, “Cure Period” means:

(a) with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, ten (10) Business Days following notice of Default from Vistana to Starwood; and

(b) with respect to clause (iii) above, ninety (90) days following a notice of Default from Vistana to Starwood.

C. Other Defaults. Vistana may exercise any of the remedies under Section 19.4D in the event of any of the following Defaults:

(i) Starwood or any principal, director, officer, shareholder or agent of Starwood, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, discloses, causes, or fails to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of, or otherwise uses in an unauthorized manner, any Vistana Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement; or

(ii) Starwood or any of its Affiliates is convicted of a felony or other similar crime or offense and such conviction prevents Vistana from obtaining or retaining the licenses that it requires to continue operating the Licensed Business at any individual Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

D. Remedies. Upon any Default under Section 19.4A, 19.4B or 19.4C, Vistana shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (without limitation to Vistana’s right to terminate this Agreement under Sections 19.4A and 19.4B):

(i) institute any and all proceedings permitted by Applicable Law or in equity with respect to such event of Default, including, without limitation, actions for injunctive and/or declaratory relief (including specific performance) and/or damages. Starwood acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that Vistana terminates this Agreement pursuant to a termination right expressly identified in Section 19.4A or 19.4B, Vistana will, in addition to the right to terminate, have the right to seek and obtain damages with respect to the termination of the Agreement; and

(ii) suspend provision of the services that Vistana is required to provide to Starwood under this Agreement until the Default is cured.

19.5 Other Defaults.

If Vistana or Starwood materially fail to fulfill any of the other material covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement, Exhibit E or the SPG Affiliation Agreement, except where specific remedies are identified for such Defaults described in Section 19.1, 19.2, 19.3 and 19.4, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to institute any and all proceedings permitted by Applicable Law or in equity with respect to such failure, including, without limitation, actions for injunctive and/or declaratory relief (including specific performance) and/or damages; provided, however, that the non-defaulting party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such failure, unless it is determined by an arbitration panel under Section 22.5 that (i) the non-defaulting party has been, or will be, damaged in an amount in excess of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) or (ii) the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks and System (or any aspect thereof) (if Starwood is the non-defaulting party) or the Licensed Business (if Vistana is the non-defaulting party) has been, or will be, so materially damaged as a result of the conduct of the defaulting party that interim injunctive relief is an inadequate remedy and that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy, in which case the non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the rendering of arbitration panel’s determination. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the non-defaulting party terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.5, the non-defaulting party will, in addition to the right to terminate, have the right to seek and obtain damages with respect to the termination of the Agreement.

19.6 Extraordinary Events.

A. If either Vistana’s or Starwood’s failure to conform to, keep, perform, fulfill or satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, obligation, standard, test, or condition set forth in this Agreement with respect to one or more Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, Sales Galleries, Marketing Facilities or Owner Service Centers, other than an obligation to make monetary payments or provide monetary funding, is caused, in whole or in material part, by one or more Extraordinary Events, such failure shall not constitute a failure or a Default under this Agreement, and such failure shall be excused with respect to the subject Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, Sales Galleries, Marketing Facilities or Owner Service Centers (but only as to the subject Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, Sales Galleries, Marketing Facilities or Owner Service Centers) for as long as the failure is caused, in whole or in part, by such Extraordinary Event(s), and so long as a cure is diligently pursued.

B. If either Vistana’s or Starwood’s failure to conform to, keep, perform, fulfill or satisfy a material obligation set forth in this Agreement that affects all or substantially all of the services to be provided under this Agreement, or that has a material adverse effect on the Licensed Business as a whole, other than an obligation to make monetary payments or provide monetary funding, is caused, in whole or in material part, by one or more Extraordinary Events, such failure shall not constitute a failure or a Default under this Agreement, and such failure shall be excused for as long as the failure is caused, in whole or in part, by such Extraordinary Event(s), and so long as a cure is diligently pursued.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a threat or danger to public health or safety or any persistent unlawful activity occurs at any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property which could be expected to result in substantial liability or would

be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, any Starwood Intellectual Property, any Proprietary Marks, the goodwill associated therewith or Starwood’s interests therein, then:

(i) Vistana will notify Starwood of such threat or danger or unlawful activity;

(ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after any such notification (and/or after any notice to Vistana by Starwood of such threat or danger or unlawful activity), Vistana will provide Starwood with a plan to address such threat or danger or unlawful activity in a manner reasonably acceptable to Starwood, which plan may include proposed arrangements to accommodate guests and Owners at alternative lodging facilities, and may require the treatment of Owners differently than transient guests; and

(iii) depending on the severity of such threat or danger or unlawful activity, following notice to Vistana Starwood may (a) suspend such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property from the Reservation System, except for booking of Owner usage rights, in accordance with Section 9.3, until the threat or danger or unlawful activity is eliminated; or (b) remove such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property from the Applicable System pending resolution of the threat or danger or unlawful activity. However, if such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is removed from the Applicable System under clause (b) above, Vistana may request that Starwood reinstate the rights to operate such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, and Starwood will thereafter reinstate such rights, at Vistana’s cost, if, within twelve (12) months after removal of such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property from the Applicable System, the threat or danger to public health or safety or unlawful activity is eliminated and Starwood has determined that such reinstatement would not cause substantial liability or loss of goodwill.

20. POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS; DE-IDENTIFICATION

20.1 Property De-Identification and Post-Termination Obligations.

A. Upon termination of Vistana’s rights to operate one or more (but not all) of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties as part of the Licensed Business, the subject Licensed Vacation Ownership Property shall be Deflagged. In connection with a Deflagging (including pursuant to Section 7.9):

(i) Notification of Owners. Vistana will notify all Owners of the Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property (whether or not a component site in a Club), pursuant to a form of notice agreed to by the parties, that the Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property is no longer affiliated with the Licensed Marks or the Applicable System and is no longer a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property;

(ii) Use of Licensed Marks and Applicable System. All rights to operate the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property under the Licensed Marks using the Applicable System shall immediately terminate (including all rights to use Starwood Technology, Centralized Services and any other Starwood Intellectual Property with respect to the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property), and all Vacation Ownership Interests

(whether or not part of a Club) in, and Vacation Ownership Units at, the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property shall no longer be marketed or sold under, or in association with, the Licensed Marks or any other aspect of the Applicable System;

(iii) Transient Rental. Inventory for transient rental at the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property will no longer be available through the Reservation System, and any stay at the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property will not be deemed a Starwood-branded stay for purposes of any Brand Loyalty Program;

(iv) Licensed Club Component Sites. To the extent the Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property was included as a component site in a Licensed Club prior to Deflagging, such Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property may continue to be included as a component site in such Licensed Club, but must be clearly identified as a non-Starwood branded Vacation Ownership Property (without reference to the Licensed Marks); provided, however, that if Applicable Law permits Vistana to remove such Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property from the Licensed Club (including by substituting a different Licensed Vacation Ownership Property therein), then Starwood may require Vistana to remove such Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property from the Licensed Club at such time as Vistana is able to obtain (through diligent efforts) replacement inventory, and in such event, Owners who own Vacation Ownership Interests in such Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property will no longer be permitted to trade usage rights associated with such interests for points under any Brand Loyalty Program; and

(v) Trade of Usage Rights. Owners who own Vacation Ownership Interests in the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property will no longer be permitted to trade usage rights associated with such interests for points under any Brand Loyalty Program; provided, however, that Owners who own Vacation Ownership Interests which are part of a Club that has no designated “home” Vacation Ownership Property preference or priority reservation right at a specific Vacation Ownership Property (a “Non-Site Specific Club”) may, subject to Section 20.1B, continue to trade usage rights associated with such interests for points under any Brand Loyalty Program.

In addition, the parties will comply with their respective obligations described below:

(a) Vistana will not represent that the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property is, or was, in any way connected with the Licensed Marks or the Applicable System, other than to the extent required by Applicable Law;

(b) Starwood will not represent that the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property is, or was, in any way connected with the Applicable System, other than to the extent required by Applicable Law;

(c) Vistana, at its expense, will remove, or cause to be removed, promptly, any items using the Starwood Intellectual Property from, or in connection with, the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property and perform or cause to be performed such additional actions as set forth in any de-identification list Starwood provides to Vistana to ensure that the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property is not connected with the Applicable System and is not using any Starwood Intellectual Property;

(d) Vistana will permit Starwood or its representatives to enter the premises of the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property at any time to take the de-identification actions described above, at Vistana’s sole risk and expense (including any cost to repair the Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property after such removal) with no obligation on Starwood to restore the Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property to its previous condition and without liability for trespass, if such actions have not been taken within ten (10) days after termination of Vistana’s rights to operate the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property as part of the Licensed Business (provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a reasonable period with respect to any de-identification activities that cannot be completed within such period (e.g., removal of monument signage));

(e) Each party will promptly pay all amounts owing to the other party and any of its Affiliates related to the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property; and

(f) Starwood, at its expense, will promptly perform such reasonable additional actions as set forth in any de-identification list Vistana provides to Starwood to ensure that Starwood is not connected with the subject Deflagged Vacation Ownership Property.

B. If at any time the aggregate number of Licensed Vacation Ownership Units at the Vacation Ownership Properties that make up the component sites in a Licensed Club that is a Non-Site Specific Club is less than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of Vacation Ownership Units at the component sites in such Club, then, upon Starwood’s request, the subject Licensed Club shall be Deflagged. In connection with the Deflagging:

(i) Notification of Owners. Vistana will notify all Owners of Vacation Ownership Interests in such Deflagged Club, pursuant to a form of notice agreed to by the parties, that the Deflagged Club is no longer affiliated with the Licensed Marks or the Applicable System and is no longer a Licensed Club;

(ii) Use of Licensed Marks and Applicable System. All rights to operate the subject Deflagged Club under the Licensed Marks using the Applicable System shall immediately terminate (including all rights to use Starwood Technology, Centralized Services and any other Starwood Intellectual Property with respect to the subject Deflagged Club), and all Vacation Ownership Interests in the Deflagged Club shall no longer be marketed or sold under, or in association with, the Licensed Marks or any other aspect of the Applicable System;

(iii) Licensed Club Inventory. The Deflagged Club may continue to include as component sites the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties that were component sites at the time of the Deflagging; provided, however, that Vistana may not, without Starwood’s prior written consent, in Starwood’s sole discretion, add other Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties as component sites to the subject Deflagged Club;

(iv) Trade of Usage Rights. Owners of Vacation Ownership Interests in the subject Deflagged Club will no longer be permitted to trade usage rights associated with such interests for points under any Brand Loyalty Program; and

(v) Outstanding Payments. Each party will promptly pay all amounts owing to the other party and any of its Affiliates related to the subject Deflagged Club.

20.2 Agreement De-Identification and Post-Termination Obligations.

Upon expiration (including the Tail Period, if applicable) or other termination of this Agreement, all rights granted under this Agreement to Vistana to operate the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties under the Licensed Marks using the Applicable System will immediately terminate (including all rights to use the Starwood Technology, the Centralized Services and any other Starwood Intellectual Property), and the parties will comply with their respective obligations described below:

(i) Each party will promptly pay all amounts owing to the other party and any of its Affiliates under this Agreement;

(ii) Vistana will not represent that the Licensed Business or any of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties are in any way connected with the Applicable System or hold itself out as a licensee or former licensee of Starwood or that it was formerly known by any corporate name or trade name containing the Licensed Marks, other than to the extent required by Applicable Law;

(iii) Starwood will not represent that any of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties are in any way connected with the Applicable System, or hold itself out as a licensor or former licensor of Vistana, other than to the extent required by Applicable Law;

(iv) Vistana, at its expense, will stop using for any purpose, and promptly remove, any items using the Starwood Intellectual Property from, or in connection with, the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and perform such additional actions as set forth in any de-identification list Starwood provides to Vistana to ensure that Vistana is not connected with the Applicable System and is not using any Starwood Intellectual Property. If Vistana cannot remove all signage displaying the Licensed Marks, Vistana shall ensure that it is immediately completely obscured in a professional manner. If Vistana fails to fulfill its obligations under this Section 20.2(iv) within ten (10) days after expiration or termination of this Agreement (provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a reasonable period with respect to any de-identification activities that cannot be completed within such period (e.g., removal of monument signage)), Starwood or its representatives may, at Vistana’s sole risk and expense (including any cost to repair the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property after such removal) and without liability for trespass, enter the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and remove or obscure any offending item with no obligation to restore the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property to its previous condition. Subject to the rights of the applicable Property Owners’ Association, Vistana shall give Starwood a reasonable opportunity to buy from Vistana at their depreciated book value any Equipment and Supplies or other items that bear any Starwood Intellectual Property. Starwood shall not be obliged to buy such items and its election not to do so shall not give Vistana any right to use such items after termination of this Agreement;

(v) Starwood, at its expense will promptly remove, any items using the Vistana Intellectual Property from, or in connection, with any Starwood Lodging Facilities or any other businesses of Starwood and its Affiliates (except that Vistana shall be responsible for removing any Sales Galleries, Marketing Facilities and Owner Service Centers located at the

Starwood Lodging Facilities at Vistana’s expense) and perform such additional actions as set forth in any de-identification list Vistana provides to Starwood to ensure that Starwood is not connected with the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or the Vacation Ownership Business of Vistana and its Affiliates, and is not using any Vistana Intellectual Property;

(vi) Vistana will immediately cease to use, and turn over to Starwood, all copies of any Starwood Confidential Information, Starwood Intellectual Property, and all other Applicable System materials relating to the operation of the Licensed Business and the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, all of which are acknowledged by Vistana to be Starwood’s property. Vistana will not retain a copy or record of any of the foregoing, except for Vistana’s copy of this Agreement, any correspondence between the parties, and any other documents that Vistana reasonably needs for compliance with any provisions of Applicable Law. If Starwood expressly permits Vistana to continue to use any Starwood Intellectual Property after the termination or expiration date, such use by Vistana will be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(vii) Starwood will immediately turn over to Vistana all copies of any Vistana Confidential Information, Vistana Intellectual Property, and all other materials relating to the operation of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, all of which are acknowledged by Starwood to be Vistana’s property. Starwood will not retain a copy or record of any of the foregoing, except for Starwood’s copy of this Agreement, any correspondence between the parties, and any other documents that Starwood reasonably needs for compliance with any provisions of Applicable Law. If Vistana expressly permits Starwood to continue to use any Vistana Intellectual Property after the termination or expiration date, such use by Starwood will be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(viii) Vistana shall (a) continue to resolve, in accordance with this Agreement all Owner, guest and customer complaints that relate to the period before termination or expiry, and (b) not represent in any marketing, advertising or otherwise that Vistana is a former licensee of the Licensed Marks, or that any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property is, or was, a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or otherwise associated with the Applicable System.

20.3 Survival.

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 20 will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

21. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; LEGAL ACTIONS

21.1 Compliance with Laws.

A. The parties will comply with Applicable Law in connection with the fulfillment of their respective obligations under this Agreement. Starwood shall have no obligation to ensure that the Standards and Policies comply with Applicable Law, and, if any Standards and Policies would violate any Applicable Law, the Applicable Law shall prevail. Vistana and Parent will forward to Starwood, within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) following Vistana’s or Parent’s receipt, copies of all inspection reports,

warnings, certificates, and ratings issued by any Governmental Authority related to any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or the Licensed Business that identify a material failure to meet or maintain governmental standards regarding health or life safety, or any other material violation of Applicable Law that may materially and adversely affect the operation of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or adversely affect the Licensed Business or Vistana or Parent or Starwood.

B. Each party will, if required by Applicable Law, timely file, register, or report this Agreement or the payments to be made hereunder, as applicable, to the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, the Licensed Business or this Agreement, and pay all costs and expenses related thereto.

21.2 Block Exemption.

Starwood and Vistana acknowledge and agree that the license is granted on the assumption that this Agreement complies, and will continue to comply, with the European Commission’s Block Exemption Regulation for Vertical Agreements (EU No. 330/2010) (the “Regulation”) and with Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (“Article 101”) and with the official interpretative guidelines of 2010, and any successor to the Regulation and to the guidelines. If, at any time, questions arise concerning this Agreement’s compliance with the Regulation, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other to amend this Agreement, either to bring it into conformity with the requirements of the Regulation or to seek an alternative way to comply with Article 101. If, in Starwood’s sole judgment, this Agreement cannot be modified to comply with Article 101, including the Regulation, without undermining material elements of the license relationship, Starwood may, at its option, without liability for such action or any further obligation to Vistana, terminate the provisions of this Agreement and the license upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Vistana as to the portions of the Agreement or Territory that violate the Regulation. In such event, with respect to any change in the territorial rights that are materially adverse to Vistana or a material decrease in revenue of the Licensed Business that are directly attributable to such termination, the Base Royalty shall be equitably adjusted to take into account the termination of the provisions of this Agreement and the license as to the portions of the Territory that include the European Union. To the extent that the post-termination obligations described in Section 20 of this Agreement would be applicable, Vistana and its Affiliates will comply with such obligations.

21.3 Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws.

A. Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws. Vistana acknowledges that Starwood is a publicly held U.S. corporation that is required to comply with Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws. Starwood desires to confirm that the conduct of Vistana and its delegates with respect to the development and operation of the Licensed Business complies and will comply with Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws. Accordingly, Vistana represents and warrants that (i) neither Vistana nor any of its delegates hereunder is a Person who is a target of Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws or who could cause Starwood or any of its Affiliates to be in violation of any Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws, and (ii) neither Vistana nor any of its delegates has directly or indirectly authorized, offered, promised or given, in relation to the Licensed Business or this Agreement,

anything of value (a) to a Non-US Government Official in order to influence official action or (b) to any Person while knowing or having reason to know that all or part of it will be offered, promised or given to a Non-US Government Official in order to influence official action. Vistana shall take all actions necessary to ensure that these representations and warranties remain true throughout the Term (and any Tail Period).

B. Shareholders, Directors, Officers or Employees as Government Officials. Vistana represents and warrants that no Individual is a Related Official or is expected to become a Related Official during the Term (or any Tail Period). At least thirty (30) days before any Individual becomes a Related Official, Vistana shall disclose to Starwood the expectation that such Individual will become a Related Official and the compensation payable to such Individual or their immediate family member by virtue of their status as an equityholder, director, officer or employee of Vistana or director of an equityholder of Vistana. For the purpose of this Section 21.3, “Related Official” means any (i) equityholder, director, officer or employee of Vistana, (ii) director of an equityholder of Vistana, or (iii) immediate family member of any of the foregoing, who in each case is a Non-US Government Official with the ability to take or influence official action in relation to the development or operation of any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property.

C. Activities of Related Government Officials. Vistana represents and warrants that (i) the status of every Related Official as an equityholder, director, officer or employee of Vistana or director of an equityholder of Vistana, or immediate family member of any of the foregoing, complies with Applicable Law and has been disclosed to all employers of the Related Official, and (ii) each Related Official has recused himself or herself in writing from taking any action in their official capacity that affects the Licensed Business and from interacting with any Non-US Government Official regarding the Licensed Business. Vistana shall take all actions necessary to ensure that these representations and warranties remain true throughout the Term (and any Tail Period).

D. Violation of Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 19.5, Starwood may terminate this Agreement if Starwood determines that Vistana has breached any representation, warranty or undertaking in this Section 21.3 or that any such breach is likely to occur unless this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws, prior to terminating this Agreement, Starwood shall provide Vistana with thirty (30) days (or such shorter period, if any, before any such consequences may be imposed under the applicable Sanction and Anti-Corruption Laws) to restructure its ownership or take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, to avoid or mitigate any potential violation. When requested by Starwood from time to time, Vistana shall certify to Starwood in writing the continuing accuracy of the covenants and representations in this Section 21.3.

22.1 Governing Law; Venue.

This Agreement, and all disputes, claims, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to any conflict of law principles, except that (i) this Agreement shall not be subject to the Maryland General and Limited Power of Attorney Act and (ii) the interpretation and enforceability of the arbitration provisions shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the body of federal common law interpreting the Federal Arbitration Act.

Starwood shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable or judicial relief for any actual or threatened breach or violation of this Agreement or the Standards and Policies, or any actual or threatened misuse or misappropriation of the Starwood Intellectual Property or Starwood Confidential Information, without (i) the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, (ii) the necessity of posting a bond and (iii) waiving any other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

B. Vistana shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable or judicial relief for any actual or threatened breach or violation of this Agreement or any actual or threatened misuse or misappropriation of the Vistana Intellectual Property or Vistana Confidential Information, without (i) the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, (ii) the necessity of posting a bond and (iii) waiving any other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

The prevailing party in any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement (including any appeals and actions to enforce any arbitration awards or court judgments) shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such proceeding. If a party prevails on some, but not all, of its claims, such party shall be entitled to recover an equitable amount of such fees, costs and expenses, as determined by the court or arbitrator(s).

22.4 Mediation.

Subject to Section 11.D, the parties agree to submit any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement to mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration, litigation, or some other dispute resolution procedure.

22.5 Arbitration.

A. The parties agree for themselves and each of their representatives that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement (including any question regarding an agreement’s existence, validity or termination and actions taken or not taken under such agreement) or relating to the relationship of the parties shall be referred to, and resolved by,

arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (or if it no longer exists, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration administrator), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 22.5. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. The parties acknowledge that the arbitrators’ subpoena power with respect to the parties is not subject to geographic limitations. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language to be used in the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrators shall have the authority to award only actual damages. The parties shall keep the award and decision of the arbitrators confidential in accordance with Section 14, and such award and decision of the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and not subject to appeal. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

B. Each party may, without waiving any rights it has under this Agreement, seek from a court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that may be necessary to protect its rights or property.

C. The provisions of this Section 22.5 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

22.6 Expert Resolution.

Where this Agreement calls for a matter to be referred to Expert(s) for determination, the following provisions shall apply.

A. Either party may commence the expert resolution process by providing notice to the other party. The parties shall have ten (10) days from the date of such notice to mutually agree on one (1) nationally recognized hospitality industry consulting firm or Individual as the Expert. If they fail to agree, each party shall have an additional ten (10) days to each select one (1) nationally recognized hospitality industry consulting firm or Individual, which such Persons shall jointly, within ten (10) days after the completion of the selection process by the parties (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the notice), designate another such nationally recognized consulting firm or Individual to be the Expert. If either party fails to make its respective selection of a firm or Individual within the ten (10) day period provided for above, then the other party’s selection shall be the Expert. In all cases, the Experts selected shall be “qualified candidates” as described in this Section 22.6A. To be a “qualified candidate,” the Expert shall be an independent, nationally or internationally recognized consulting firm or Individual having a minimum of ten (10) years of experience in the timeshare and lodging industry and qualified to resolve the issue in question; provided that an Expert shall not include any Individual who is, as of the date of appointment or within six (6) months prior to such date, employed either directly or indirectly as a consultant in connection with any other matter, by a party (or its Affiliates) seeking to appoint such person. The selected Expert shall execute an agreement reasonably satisfactory to Vistana and Starwood to maintain the confidentiality of any information provided to it by the parties, and not to use such information for any purpose other than resolution of the dispute.

B. Each party may make written statements and provide supporting materials to the Expert, which must be delivered concurrently to the other party. The other party may respond to such submissions. The parties shall make available to the Expert all books and

records relating to the issues in dispute and shall provide the Expert with any information or assistance reasonably requested by the Expert. The Expert shall establish a timetable for the making of submissions and replies, and notify the parties in writing of its decision within thirty (30) days after the date on which the expert has been selected (or such other period as the parties may agree).

C. Each party shall submit its proposed resolution of the dispute to the Expert (with a copy provided concurrently to the other party), and the Expert shall decide in favor of one of the parties’ positions, and may not make any determination other than by choosing one of the proposals presented by the parties. The Expert’s determination shall be based on the principles in this Agreement, including the requirement that the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties be operated in accordance with the Standards and Policies. The Expert’s authority shall be limited to deciding the specific issue presented to it, and shall have no authority to award damages, issue orders or take any other action whatsoever. The decision of the Expert shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall not be capable of appeal or other challenge, whether by arbitration or otherwise, except for manifest error or fraud.

22.7 Litigation.

A. Notwithstanding Sections 11.D, 22.4, 22.5, and 22.6, a party may commence litigation or other legal proceedings (i) as permitted under Section 22.2, (ii) for any temporary injunctive relief against conduct or threatened conduct which might cause irreparable harm to a party or its Affiliates (including, in the case of Starwood, the reputation of the Licensed Marks), pending resolution of the dispute in accordance with Sections 11.D, 22.4, 22.5 or 22.6, (iii) for the enforcement of any arbitration award or (iv) for the enforcement of the dispute resolution provisions in this Section 22.

B. The parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of New York in any litigation or other legal proceeding arising out of, or relating to, the relationship of the parties in respect of the Licensed Business and this Agreement (including any question regarding any agreement’s existence, validity or termination and actions taken or not taken under such agreement) or any other dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or expert resolution under this Section 22. Service of process by each party need not be personally served or served within the State of New York, but may be served by any means permitted by Applicable Law. All claims brought by a party must be brought and/or defended in the federal and state courts of the State of New York. Nothing in this Section 22.7, however, shall affect a party’s rights to enforce any court-entered judgment against the other party in any other appropriate jurisdiction. The parties waive all defenses based on lack of jurisdiction or inconvenient venue or forum for any litigation, legal action or other proceeding brought in accordance with this Section 22.7.

C. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, trial by jury of all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

22.8 Class Actions.

Vistana agrees that, for the businesses operated under Starwood’s brands to function properly, Starwood should not be burdened with the costs of arbitrating or litigating system wide claims. Accordingly, Vistana agrees that any disagreement between Vistana and Starwood shall be considered unique as to its facts and shall not be brought as a class action, and Vistana waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights to bring a class action or multi-plaintiff, consolidated or collective action against Starwood or any of its Affiliates.

22.9 Decisions in Prior Claims.

Vistana agrees that in any arbitration or litigation between the parties, the arbitrator(s) or court shall not be precluded from making its own independent determination of the issues in question, notwithstanding the similarity of issues in any other arbitration or litigation involving Starwood and any other third party or any of their respective Affiliates, and each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights to claim that a prior disposition of the same or similar issues precludes such independent determination.

22.10 Survival.

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 22 will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

23.2 Acknowledgements and Representations Regarding Territorial Restrictions in Existing Contracts.

The parties acknowledge that each party may, as of the Effective Date, be parties to agreements with third parties that contain territorial restrictions, including the Permitted Territorial Restrictions that would be a breach of this Agreement if either party had agreed to such territorial restrictions without the consent of the other party during the Term.

24.2 Independent Contractor.

Vistana is an independent contractor, and this Agreement does not create a fiduciary, agency, partnership, joint venture, joint ownership, employment or similar relationship, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any such relationships between the parties. Neither party is authorized to (i) enter into any agreement, make any representation or warranty, incur any liability, or create any obligation on behalf of the other; provided that

Starwood may act on Vistana’s behalf, as Vistana’s agent, for purposes of booking reservations at any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, or (ii) hire, dismiss or determine the working conditions or compensation of any of the other party’s employees. Vistana is solely responsible for determining the manner in which its rights are exercised and obligations fulfilled in the exercise of its business interest and day-to-day control of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

24.3 Interpretation of this Agreement.

A. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and are not to be construed as a part of this Agreement.

B. Certain Words and Phrases. In this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated: (i) all words shall be deemed to include any number or gender as the context or sense requires; (ii) the words “include,” “includes,” “including,” “exclude,” “excludes,” “excluding” and “such as” shall be construed as if they are immediately followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the word “may” shall be construed as meaning “shall have the right but not the obligation to”; (iv) all dollar amounts are stated in U.S. Dollars; (v) a period of days shall be counted by excluding the first day and including the last day, unless the last day falls on a weekend or legal holiday, in which case the last day shall be the next Business Day; (vi) references to any Recital, Section or Exhibit are to recitals, sections or exhibits of this Agreement; (vii) any agreement, instrument, law, rule or regulation defined or referred to in this Agreement shall mean such agreement, instrument, law, rule or regulation as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified; (viii) the words “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto,” “herein” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement, and are not limited to the provision in which such words are used; and (ix) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

C. Drafting. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or in favor of a party merely because of who drafted it. When this Agreement provides that either party may take or refrain from taking any action or exercise discretion, such as rights of approval or consent, or to modify any part of the Standards and Policies or Applicable System, or to make other determinations or modifications under this Agreement, such party may do so from time to time.

D. Severability and Illegality. Each of the provisions in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of every other such provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority for any reason, the remainder of this Agreement shall in no way be affected and shall remain valid and enforceable for all purposes and the provision in question shall be deemed replaced with a provision that is valid and enforceable and Starwood reasonably believes most nearly reflects its original intent. If any Standards and Policies are invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Law, Starwood may, in its sole discretion, modify such Standards and Policies to the extent required to make them valid, legal and enforceable. If any Applicable Law requires (i) a longer period than required by this Agreement for a notice of termination or of refusal to enter into a renewal or successor franchise and/or (ii) the taking of any other action not required under this Agreement, the notice and/or other action required by such Applicable Law shall be substituted for the comparable provisions in this Agreement to the extent required.

E. No Exclusive Remedies. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Starwood or Vistana by this Agreement is intended to be, nor will be, deemed exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law or equity provided or permitted, but each will be cumulative of every other right or remedy.

24.4 Approvals, Consents and Waivers.

A. Subject to Section 24.4B, a party’s delay or failure to require the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any power, right or remedy available to such party, shall not constitute a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of the right to exercise any power, right or remedy. A waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same provision. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, but each and every provision of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then-existing or subsequent breach.

B. Except for claims by a party arising from the other party’s non-payment or underpayment of amounts due pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise restricted by Applicable Law, any failure or delay of a party in asserting any claim arising from or relating to this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such claim and shall preclude the enforcement of any remedy with respect to such claim, unless notice specifying such a claim is provided to the other party by no later than the second anniversary of the later of the date on which (i) such claim arose and (ii) the facts giving rise to such a claim were first known (or reasonably should have been known) to the party asserting the claim. Nothing in this Section 24.4 shall toll or extend any applicable statute of limitations or other limitation period.

24.5 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Licensed Business and the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral. Each party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it does not do so in reliance on any written or oral representation, warranty, projection or other information, except as expressly set forth herein.

24.6 Amendments.

Except for the right of Starwood to make unilateral changes to the Standards and Policies, Centralized Services, Insurance Requirements and other changes permitted under this Agreement, any amendment, modification, change, waiver or discharge of a provision of this Agreement must be in writing, executed by the party against whom the enforcement of the amendment, modification, change, waiver or discharge is sought. If Vistana requests that Starwood execute or consent to any document relating to this Agreement, Vistana shall provide Starwood with at least thirty (30) days to review such document, but Starwood shall not be obligated to execute or consent to any such document. Vistana shall pay Starwood its then-

standard fee for the review, negotiation and execution of any such document. No party will be liable to other party for providing (or denying) any waiver, approval, consent or suggestion to the other party in connection with this Agreement or by reason of any delay or denial of any request.

24.7 Translations.

The English language version of all written materials, including this Agreement, the Standards and Policies, and any other documents, forms, agreements, manuals, and advertising materials provided to either party under this Agreement will be the version used for determining the intent of the parties. Either party may translate any such materials into any other language. All translations will be at the sole cost and expense of the translating party. Ownership of any translated materials shall vest in the party who owned the materials from which the translation was made, and all copyrights in any such translated materials will be assigned by translating party to the owning party or its designated Affiliate upon the owning party’s request. The translating party will obtain any necessary agreement with any translator that such translation will be the sole property of the owning party or its Affiliates.

24.8 Multiple Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24.9 Survival.

Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not terminate or otherwise affect any rights or obligations of a party that either expressly or by their nature survive termination or expiration.

25. STARWOOD MANAGED PROPERTIES

To the extent (i) any Vistana obligation under this Agreement is an express obligation of Starwood under a Starwood Management Agreement, or (ii) any liability of Vistana under this Agreement is a liability which Starwood expressly assumes under a Starwood Management Agreement, Vistana shall be excused from performing such obligation or assuming such liability (as applicable) with respect to the Starwood Managed Property to which the Starwood Management Agreement relates (but not any other Licensed Vacation Ownership Property) for the term of such Starwood Management Agreement.

26. GUARANTY

26.1 Guaranty.

Parent absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranties to Starwood that if Vistana or an Affiliate or permitted sublicensee of Vistana fails for any reason to perform when due any of its respective obligations to Starwood under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements (the “Obligations”) within the time specified therein, it will without any demand or notice whatsoever promptly pay or perform such Obligations (the “Guaranty”). Parent

acknowledges that the Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty both of performance and of payment (and not merely of collection), which Guaranty shall not terminate unless (i) this Agreement has terminated or expired in accordance with Sections 4 or 19 of this Agreement and all other Transaction Agreements have terminated or expired in accordance with their respective terms, and (ii) all amounts owing to pursuant to the Obligations have been paid in full. The liability of Parent hereunder is independent of and not in consideration of or contingent upon the liability of Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or any other Person, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Parent, whether or not any action is brought or prosecuted against Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or any other Person or whether Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions and without any obligation on the part of Starwood to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. No delay or omission by Starwood to exercise any right or remedy arising from the Guaranty shall impair any right, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver thereof. No waiver of any single breach or default in connection with the Guaranty shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default.

26.2 Parent Waivers.

Parent hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest, and all notices whatsoever with regard to any of the Obligations and any requirement that Starwood protect, secure or perfect any security interests or exhaust any right, power, privilege or remedy or proceed against Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or any other Person with respect to any of the Obligations. Each and every default in payment or performance by Vistana, its Affiliates or sublicensees of any of the Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder against Parent as each cause of action arises. Parent hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense by reason of: (i) the value, genuineness, validity, regularity, illegality or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or any other document or agreement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, (ii) any modification, amendment or variation in or addition to the terms of any of the Obligations or any covenants in respect thereof or any security therefor, (iii) any extension or other change in time, manner or place for performance or waiver of performance of any covenant of Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or any other Person or any failure or omission to enforce any right with regard to or any other indulgence with respect to any of the Obligations, (iv) any merger or consolidation of Parent into or with any other Entity or any change in corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent or Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or the permitted assignment or transfer of the Guaranty, this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or the Obligations, (v) any exchange, surrender, release of any other guaranty of or security for any of the Obligations or any circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that Parent or any of its Affiliates may have against Starwood, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or (vii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Vistana, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees or any other Person, it being Parent’s intent that Parent’s obligations hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. In the event that any payment to Starwood in respect of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned, restored or rejected for any reason

whatsoever (including upon such bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any such Person described in clause (vii) or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any such Person or any substantial part of any such Person’s property, or otherwise), Parent shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations as if such payment had not been made. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Starwood hereby acknowledges and agrees that Parent does not waive any defense that an Obligation has already been paid, already been performed, or is not due or yet due under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall obligate Parent to make any payment which is illegal for Parent to have made under any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction applicable to Parent. Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and that the waivers set forth herein are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

26.3 Maximum Liability of Parent.

It being understood that the intent of Starwood is to obtain a guaranty from Parent, and the intent of Parent is to incur guaranty obligations, in an amount no greater than the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers, it is hereby agreed that:

A. if the sum of the obligations of Parent hereunder (the “Guarantor Obligations”) exceeds the sum (such sum, the “Total Available Net Assets”) of the Maximum Available Net Assets of Parent and Vistana, in the aggregate, then the Guarantor Obligations of Parent shall be limited to the greater of (i) the Total Available Net Assets and (ii) the value received by Parent in connection with the incurrence of the Guarantor Obligations to the greatest extent such value can be determined; and

B. if, but for the operation of this Section 26.3B and notwithstanding Section 26.3A above, the Guarantor Obligations of Parent hereunder otherwise would be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers, taking into consideration Parent’s (i) rights of contribution, reimbursement and indemnity from Vistana and any other guarantors with respect to amounts paid by Parent in respect of the Obligations (calculated so as to reasonably maximize the total amount of obligations able to be incurred hereunder), and (ii) rights of subrogation to the rights of Starwood, then the Guarantor Obligations of Parent shall be the largest amount, if any, that would not leave Parent, after the incurrence of such obligations, insolvent or with unreasonably small capital within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers, or otherwise make such obligations subject to such avoidance.

Any Person asserting that the Guarantor Obligations of Parent are subject to Section 26.3A or are avoidable as referenced in Section 26.3B shall have the burden (including the burden of production and of persuasion) of proving (a) the extent to which such Guarantor Obligations, by operation of Section 26.3A, are less than the Obligations owed by Vistana to

Starwood or (b) that, without giving effect to Section 26.3B, the Guarantor Obligations of Parent hereunder would be avoidable and the extent to which such Guarantor Obligations, by operation of Section 26.3B, are less than the Obligations of Vistana, as the case may be.

26.4 Representations and Warranties of Parent.

A. Organization and Authority. Parent represents and warrants that (i) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (ii) it has full power, authority and legal right to execute and perform its obligations under this Agreement and (iii) the Individual signing this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so on behalf of Parent.

B. Enforceability. Parent represents and warrants that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, and does not violate or conflict with any of Parent’s formation or governing documents or any Applicable Law.

C. No Conflicts. Parent represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained all approvals required for the execution of and performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) this Agreement and such performance do not, and will not, conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreement by which it or any of its respective assets is bound or affected.

Subject to the exclusions, exceptions and limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, Vistana agrees that during the Term it will not, and it will cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to: (i) Compete in the Hotel Management and Franchising Business anywhere in the world; or (ii) license its names or marks or systems to any Persons (other than Starwood or its Affiliates) for use in the Hotel Management and Franchising Business anywhere in the world.

Section 3.2 Vistana Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 3.1 above, nothing in this Agreement will restrict Vistana or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from engaging in the following:

(i) engaging in activities that Vistana or its Affiliates are specifically permitted to engage in under Section 8.2 of the License Agreement or Section 3.3 or Section 3.4 below, in each case, in accordance with such provisions;

(ii) owning Hotels branded under the Proprietary Marks subject to a management agreement with Starwood;

(iii) operating Hotels branded under the Proprietary Marks as a franchisee under a franchise agreement with Starwood;

(iv) owning equity securities of a publicly-traded Person that Competes in the Hotel Management and Franchising Business; provided that the aggregate holdings of Vistana and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates of such equity securities in such Person does not exceed 5% of the outstanding equity securities of such Person;

(v) owning the Transferred Lodging Properties subject to and in accordance with the Management Agreements and Section 5.9 of the License Agreement;

(vi) engaging in the business operated by Aqua-Aston Holdings, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (“Aqua-Aston”); provided that Aqua-Aston will not (A) solicit management of a Hotel (including a Condominium Hotel) managed by Starwood and its Affiliates, or (B) knowingly bid for management of a Hotel (including a Condominium Hotel) not then managed by Aqua-Aston that Starwood is bidding to manage;

(vii) operating the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Highlands hotel;

(viii) an Existing Vacation Ownership Management Affiliate operating a Hotel that is co-located or adjacent to a Vacation Ownership Property (other than a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property) managed by such Existing Vacation Ownership Management Affiliate; and/or

(ix) entering into an agreement for a transaction that would otherwise be restricted by Section 3.1 above; provided that any Hotel contemplated by any such transaction does not open for business and reservations at such Hotel do not commence, in each case, until after the Term (even if the development or construction of any such Hotel commences during the Term).

Section 3.3 Vacation Ownership Business Acquisitions.

Starwood acknowledges that Vistana and its Affiliates may make Vacation Ownership Business acquisitions, whether by purchase of assets, purchase or exchange of stock of another Person, merger or consolidation with or into another Person, joint ventures or other strategic partnerships with another Person, assumption of sales, marketing or branding rights, or otherwise (and subsequent dispositions thereof), that may include an existing branded or unbranded Hotel Management and Franchising Business, or owned or leased Hotels (together with any owned or leased Hotels included in any such Hotel Management and Franchising Business, the “Owned or Leased Hotels”) to the extent permitted under this Section 3.3. Any such Vacation Ownership Business acquisitions made by Vistana or any of its Affiliates in which the aggregate number of Vacation Ownership Units that are the subject of such acquisition (whether owned, leased, managed or franchised) is greater than the aggregate number of Hotel rooms that are the subject of such acquisition (whether owned, leased, managed or franchised) (such an acquisition, a “Permitted Vacation Ownership Business Acquisition”) shall be permitted under this Section 3.3, subject to this Section 3.3. Vistana shall notify Starwood within five (5) Business Days following the closing of any such Permitted Vacation Ownership Business Acquisition by Vistana or any of its Subsidiaries, and Vistana and Starwood shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate (i) a relationship under which such acquired Hotel Management and Franchising Business and/or the acquired Owned or Leased Hotels will affiliate with, and use certain systems that are part of, Starwood’s Hotel Management and Franchising Business, and/or (ii) the management or purchase by Starwood or any of its Affiliates of all or part of any such acquired Hotel Management and Franchising Business and/or such acquired Owned or Leased Hotels. In the event that the Parties are unable to reach agreement on any of the foregoing alternatives within sixty (60) days following the receipt of notice of closing of such Permitted Vacation Ownership Business Acquisition, then Vistana and its Affiliates shall have the right to operate or manage (or engage third parties to operate or manage, under a management, license or franchise agreement or otherwise) such acquired Hotel Management and Franchising Business and/or such acquired Owned or Leased Hotels; provided, however, that Vistana and its Affiliates shall have no right to use the Proprietary Marks (including the Licensed Marks) or any Starwood Intellectual Property (including the Applicable System) in connection therewith under the terms of the License Agreement, and such operation or management shall be subject to reasonable restrictions required by Starwood to ensure a level of brand separation sufficient to avoid customer confusion as determined by Starwood in its sole discretion. In the event that any such acquired Owned or Leased Hotel is managed at the time of the Vacation Ownership Business Acquisition by a third party under a contract that Vistana does not have the right to terminate without penalty, then at such time during the Term as such third party manager ceases to manage any such acquired Owned or Leased Hotel, Vistana and Starwood shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate an agreement under which Starwood or one of its Affiliates will manage such acquired Owned or Leased Hotel. If Vistana and Starwood are not able to agree on terms for Starwood or an Affiliate of Starwood to manage such acquired Owned or Leased Hotel within sixty (60)

days after commencing such negotiations, then Vistana shall have the right to manage (or engage a third party to manage) such acquired Owned or Leased Hotel thereafter; provided, however, that Vistana and its Affiliates shall have no right to use the Proprietary Marks (including the Licensed Marks) or any Starwood Intellectual Property (including the Applicable System) in connection therewith under the terms of the License Agreement, and such management shall be subject to reasonable restrictions required by Starwood to ensure a level of brand separation sufficient to avoid customer confusion as determined by Starwood in its sole discretion.

Section 3.4 Hotels Acquired for Conversion to Vacation Ownership Properties.

Starwood acknowledges that Vistana and its Affiliates may acquire, lease or otherwise become involved in the management or operation of Hotels for the purpose of converting such Hotels to Vacation Ownership Properties (“Conversion Hotels”). For purposes of this Section 3.4, the Transferred Lodging Properties do not constitute Conversion Hotels. Vistana and its Affiliates may engage in the Hotel Management and Franchising Business with respect to any Conversion Hotel during the period between the date of takeover of such Conversion Hotel by Vistana or an Affiliate of Vistana and the date on which such Conversion Hotel is converted to a Vacation Ownership Property; provided that (a) for a Conversion Hotel acquired, leased, managed or otherwise operated by Vistana or any of its Affiliates (other than Existing Vacation Ownership Management Affiliates) (i) if such conversion occurs in a single phase, such period may not exceed thirty-six (36) months after the date of takeover of such Conversion Hotel by Vistana or any of its Affiliates (other than Existing Vacation Ownership Management Affiliates), and (ii) if such conversion occurs in multiple phases, at least half of the units of such Conversion Hotel must be converted within thirty-six (36) months after the date of takeover of such Conversion Hotel by Vistana or any of its Affiliates (other than Existing Vacation Ownership Management Affiliates) and the remainder of such units must be converted within sixty (60) months after the date of takeover of such Conversion Hotel; and provided further that in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, Vistana or any of its Affiliates (other than Existing Vacation Ownership Management Affiliates) diligently pursues the conversion of such Conversion Hotel to a Vacation Ownership Property during such period; and (b) for a Conversion Hotel acquired, leased, managed or otherwise operated by any Existing Business Affiliate, such Existing Business Affiliate diligently pursues such conversion in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Hotel is approved by Starwood as a New Property pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 of the License Agreement, and any terms and conditions of such approval govern the timing of the conversion of such Conversion Hotel to a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and/or the operation thereof as a Hotel in the interim, then to the extent that any provision of this Section 3.4 is deemed to conflict with the terms and conditions of Starwood’s approval of such Conversion Hotel as a New Property in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement, the terms and conditions of such approval shall control. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required for legal or regulatory approval (including zoning and other land use approvals), Vistana and its Affiliates may continue to operate a portion or phase(s) of the Conversion Hotel as a Hotel.

Section 3.5 Considerations In Pursuing Opportunities. In determining whether a Vacation Ownership Business acquisition described in Section 3.3 above or a Conversion Hotel opportunity will be pursued by Vistana, any of its Subsidiaries or another Affiliate of Vistana, Buyer and its Affiliates will consider a number of factors including, without limitation, (i) the ability to secure and breadth of marketing access rights at co-located or nearby Hotels, (ii) existing brand affiliations of the Hotel, (iii) absence of territorial restrictions, (iv) appropriateness of the Hotel for applicable brand standards, and (v) the source of the opportunity and affiliation of any financial participants in the project.

ARTICLE IV

TERM

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until the earlier of (i) the date on which the License Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, and (ii) the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.3 Costs of Enforcement.

The prevailing Party in any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement (including any appeals and actions to enforce any arbitration awards or court judgments) shall be entitled to recover from the losing Party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with such proceeding. If a Party prevails on some, but not all, of its claims, such Party shall be entitled to recover an equitable amount of such fees, costs and expenses, as determined by the court or arbitrator(s).

Section 5.4 Mediation.

The Parties agree to submit any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement to mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration, litigation, or some other dispute resolution procedure.

Section 5.5 Arbitration.

(a) The Parties agree for themselves and each of their representatives that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement (including any question regarding an agreement’s existence, validity or termination and actions taken or not taken under this Agreement) or relating to the relationship of the Parties shall be referred to and resolved by arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (or if it no longer exists, the Parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration administrator), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by

reference into this Section. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. The Parties acknowledge that the arbitrators’ subpoena power with respect to the Parties is not subject to geographic limitations. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language to be used in the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrators shall have the authority to award only actual damages. The Parties shall keep the award and decision of the arbitrators confidential, and such award and decision of the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties and not subject to appeal. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Each Party may, without waiving any rights it has under this Agreement, seek from a court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that may be necessary to protect its rights or property.

Section 5.6 Litigation.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 5.4 and Section 5.5, a Party may commence litigation or other legal proceedings (i) as permitted under Section 5.2, (ii) for any temporary injunctive relief against conduct or threatened conduct which might cause irreparable harm to a Party or its Affiliates, pending resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, (iii) for the enforcement of any arbitration award or (iv) for the enforcement of the dispute resolution provisions in this Article V.

(b) Each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of New York in any litigation or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the relationship of the Parties in respect of this Agreement (including any question regarding any agreement’s existence, validity or termination and actions taken or not taken under such agreement) or any other dispute between the Parties that is not subject to arbitration under this Article V. Service of process on a Party need not be personally served or served within the State of New York, but may be served by any means permitted by Applicable Law. All claims brought by a Party must be brought and/or defended in the federal and state courts of the State of New York. Nothing in this Section 5.6, however, shall affect a Party’s rights to enforce any court-entered judgment against the other Party in any other appropriate jurisdiction. The Parties waive all defenses based on lack of jurisdiction or inconvenient venue or forum for any litigation, legal action or other proceeding brought in accordance with this Section 5.6.

(c) Each Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, trial by jury of all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Section 5.7 Class Actions.

Accordingly, Vistana agrees that any disagreement between Vistana and Starwood shall be considered unique as to its facts and shall not be brought as a class action, and Vistana waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights to bring a class action or multi-plaintiff, consolidated or collective action against Starwood or any of its Affiliates.

Section 5.8 Decisions in Prior Claims. Vistana agrees that in any arbitration or litigation between the Parties, the arbitrator(s) or court shall not be precluded from making its own independent determination of the issues in question, notwithstanding the similarity of issues in any other arbitration or litigation involving Starwood and any other third party or any of their respective Affiliates, and each Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights to claim that a prior disposition of the same or similar issues precludes such independent determination.

FORM OF STARWOOD PREFERRED GUEST AFFILIATION AGREEMENT

This STARWOOD PREFERRED GUEST AFFILIATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of [ • ] (“Effective Date”), is entered into by and among Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Starwood”), Preferred Guest, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“PGI,” and together with Starwood, the “Starwood Parties”), and Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vistana”).

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2015, by and among Starwood, Vistana, Interval Leisure Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and Iris Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”) (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Vistana immediately following the spin-off of Vistana to Starwood’s stockholders.

B. Vistana has been operating the Licensed Business by developing, selling, marketing, operating and financing Vacation Ownership Properties under the Licensed Marks using the Applicable System.

C. Starwood, directly and through its Affiliates (including PGI), operates a loyalty program known as the Starwood Preferred Guest® (SPG) program (the “SPG Program”), whose members (each an “SPG Member” and collectively, the “SPG Members”) earn Starpoints® (“Starpoints”) for staying at Lodging Facilities and Vacation Ownership Properties that participate in the SPG Program (each, an “SPG Participating Hotel” and collectively, the “SPG Participating Hotels”), and for the purchase of goods and services from specified vendors.

D. The SPG Program is governed by certain terms which, as of the Effective Date, are located at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxx_xxxxx.xxxx (as the same may be updated, amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “SPG Program Terms”).

E. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Vistana shall enter into a License, Services and Development Agreement with Starwood (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Starwood has granted Vistana the limited right for the Vacation Ownership Business to be operated under the Licensed Marks using the Applicable System and Starwood or its Affiliates shall provide certain services to Vistana and its Affiliates with respect to the Licensed Business.

F. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed that Vistana, the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Unbranded Properties shall retain the ability to participate in the SPG Program in accordance with the terms hereof.

G. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the License Agreement, or if not defined therein, in the SPG Program Terms.

AGREEMENT

Section 1.

Participation in the SPG Program as a Centralized Service.

(a) Centralized Service. Pursuant and subject to Section 6.2 of the License Agreement, each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and each Licensed Unbranded Property shall participate in the SPG Program in accordance with the License Agreement and all Standards and Policies applicable to the SPG Program as an SPG Participating Hotel. The Starwood Parties agree that to the extent any other Vacation Ownership Business participates in the SPG Program, such participation shall be on terms no more favorable to such Vacation Ownership Business than those provided to Vistana under this Agreement, provided that if the number of Starpoints issued in connection with the Permitted Uses hereunder during any two consecutive calendar year period is, as a percentage of all Starpoints issued for the SPG Program during such period, less than 4% due to a decrease in the number of Starpoints issued by Vistana that is more than de minimus, this restriction shall be null and void.

(b) Centralized Service Charges. Pursuant to Section 6.3 of the License Agreement, the Centralized Services Charges for the participation by each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and each Licensed Unbranded Property in the SPG Program as a mandatory Centralized Service shall be determined by Starwood on a fair and commercially reasonable basis and in a manner consistent with the manner in which such charges are made with respect to substantially all of the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities or a category thereof which the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property would be included in if it was a Branded Starwood Lodging Facility participating in the SPG Program, subject to modifications agreed to in writing by Starwood and Vistana as of or after the Effective Date.

Section 2.

Starpoints Offered by Vistana in the Licensed Business.

(a) Offer of Starpoints in the Licensed Business. Subject to Section 10, Vistana and its Affiliates may offer Starpoints to SPG Members (including persons then being enrolled as SPG Members): (i) as an incentive upon a purchase of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Interest or a Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interest (“Purchases”); (ii) for conversion of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Interest or a Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interest to Starpoints (“Exchanges”); (iii) to resolve Owner customer service issues or otherwise as a goodwill gesture to Owners unrelated to transient stays at Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and Licensed Unbranded Properties (“Vistana Goodwill”); and (iv) for promotional purposes such as sales presentations, tours, financing and certain other specified incentives in connection with the offer and sale of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests and Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interests (“Incentives” and together with Purchases, Exchanges and Vistana Goodwill, the “Vistana Specific Uses”).

(b) Vistana Specific Use SOP. As of the Effective Date, the parties have set forth the details of the Vistana Specific Uses and the number of Starpoints that may be offered in

connection therewith in writing (including, without limitation, the exchange rate for conversion) and any flexibility with respect thereto (the “Vistana Specific Use SOP”). Any change to the Vistana Specific Use SOP shall require the mutual consent of the parties. The parties shall review the Vistana Specific Use SOP on an annual basis.

(c) Permitted Uses. Vistana may not offer Starpoints for any purposes other than the permissible uses under the Standards and Policies that apply to the SPG Program as a Centralized Service (the “Standard Uses”) and the Vistana Specific Uses (collectively, the “Permitted Uses”) without the prior written consent of the Starwood Parties. Starwood Parties will reasonably consider Vistana’s requests to offer Starpoints for any purposes other than a Permitted Use.

Section 3.

Payment for Starpoints Issued for Vistana Specific Uses.

(a) Vistana Specific Use Price Per Starpoint. Vistana shall pay PGI (or its designee) for Starpoints issued in connection with Vistana Specific Uses at: (i) the price per Starpoint then paid for goodwill points for Standard Uses, plus (ii) the premium set forth in the Vistana Specific Use SOP for Vistana Specific Uses (the “Vistana Premium,” and together with subclause (i), the “Vistana Cost Per Point”); provided, however, that if the number of Starpoints offered by Vistana in connection with a Vistana Goodwill gesture equals or exceeds the number of Starpoints that if offered for a goodwill gesture as a Standard Use would increase the price per Starpoint, the Vistana Cost Per Point shall be increased by an amount consistent with the premium applicable to goodwill gestures as a Standard Use.

(b) Vistana Premium Adjustment. If (i) the number of Starpoints issued in connection with Vistana Specific Uses during any calendar year is, as a percentage of all Starpoints issued for the SPG Program during such calendar year, greater than 15% due to an increase in the number of Starpoints issued by Vistana, or (ii) during any calendar year, the redemption behavior of Owners or prospective Owners materially changes from historical redemption behavior, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the Vistana Premium for future calendar years.

(c) Payment for Starpoints. Vistana shall be obligated to pay PGI (or its designee) for all Starpoints following receipt of an invoice in respect of such issued Starpoints. Vistana shall be invoiced for Starpoints issued for Vistana Specific Uses, and obligated to make payments in connection with such invoices, in the same manner as it is invoiced for Standard Uses, and obligated to make payments in connection with such invoices, under the License Agreement.

Section 4.

Expiration and Reinstatement of Starpoints.

(a) Expiration of Starpoints. Starpoints awarded in connection with Vistana Specific Uses prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement or pursuant to this Agreement shall expire on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date such Starpoints are deposited in a SPG Member’s account, regardless of such SPG Member’s activity in the SPG Program during that time.

(b) Reinstatement of Expired or Forfeited Starpoints. Vistana may elect to reinstate expired or forfeited Starpoints issued to Owners for Vistana Specific Uses at its sole discretion, provided that any reinstated Starpoints shall be treated as newly issued Starpoints for purposes of expiration thereof and payment to PGI (or its designee) hereunder.

Section 5.

Use, Redemption and Transfer of Starpoints by SPG Members.

(a) Redemption by SPG Members. The redemption of Starpoints by Owners and other Vistana customers shall be subject to the SPG Program Terms.

(b) Transfer. Any Starpoints issued to an SPG Member for Vistana Specific Uses are transferable to other SPG Members as permitted under the SPG Program Terms and to another Owner that is an SPG Member and that is included on the deed of the same Licensed Vacation Ownership Interest or a Licensed Unbranded Vacation Ownership Interest.

Section 6.

Elite Status.

(a) Elite Offerings. Vistana may provide (i) Gold Preferred Guest status in the SPG Program to any Owner of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property (other than Specified Fractional Properties) or a Licensed Unbranded Property until such Owner is no longer an Owner of such Vacation Ownership Property; (ii) Platinum Preferred Guest status in the SPG Program to any initial purchaser of fractional units at Specified Fractional Properties during such initial purchaser’s term of ownership of such fractional unit; and (iii) Platinum Preferred Guest status in the SPG Program to any Owner who is a Five Star Elite member (as defined in the Vistana Specific Use SOP) until such Owner is no longer an Owner of Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or Licensed Unbranded Properties or fails to meet the Five Star Elite member requirements which are set forth in the Vistana Specific Use SOP (collectively, the “Elite Offerings”). Additional details about the Elite Offerings (including, without limitation, the Five Star Elite membership requirements) shall be included in the Vistana Specific Use SOP, and any change thereto shall require both Vistana’s and the Starwood Parties’ prior written consent.

(b) Changes. The Starwood Parties and Vistana agree to discuss, in good faith: (i) a change to the Elite Offerings if, at any time, the number of Owners that have Gold Preferred Guest status or Platinum Preferred Guest status (collective, “Elite Status”) exceeds 6% of the total number of active SPG Members; and (ii) potential modifications to the status tiers of the Elite Offerings by the Starwood Parties before any such modifications occur.

(c) Permitted Uses. Vistana may not offer Elite Status for any purpose other than as an Elite Offering without the prior written consent of the Starwood Parties.

Section 7.

Removal of Owners from SPG Program.

The Starwood Parties may terminate an Owner from the SPG Program if the Owner violates the SPG Program Terms and shall promptly notify Vistana of such termination.

Section 8.

Changes to the SPG Program.

(a) Changes by the Starwood Parties. The Starwood Parties shall have the right to change any terms or conditions of the SPG Program and the SPG Program Terms, at any time, in

their sole discretion and shall provide Vistana with notice in the same manner as it provides notice to the Branded Starwood Lodging Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Starwood Parties agree that in no event shall the Starwood Parties, without Vistana’s prior consent: (i) impose new SPG Program Terms or amend or modify any SPG Program Terms or exceptions thereto that, in each case, exclusively relate to the Licensed Business, or (ii) impose new SPG Program Terms or amend or modify any SPG Program Terms that have a disproportionate adverse impact on an individual SPG Member who is an Owner as compared to a similarly situated SPG Member who is not an Owner. Vistana shall, as part of the sales process with respect to the sale of Licensed Vacation Ownership Interests, provide written disclosure to each prospective purchaser to the effect that (i) all Starpoints are subject to the SPG Program Terms, and (ii) the Starwood Parties may modify the SPG Program Terms at any time in their sole discretion. Vistana shall be permitted to incorporate such disclosure with other disclosures Vistana makes to prospective purchasers and all such documents shall be reviewed by Starwood in accordance with the License Agreement.

(b) Material Program Changes. The Starwood Parties shall meet annually with Vistana at a mutually agreed upon time and place to discuss anticipated material changes to the SPG Program (“Material Program Changes”) that may affect Vistana in accordance with the governance process set forth in the License Agreement.

(c) Suggested Changes. The Starwood Parties shall reasonably consider changes to the SPG Program suggested by Vistana which address issues specifically relevant to the Licensed Business (including any systems enhancements needed to implement such changes) within a reasonable time after receiving a formal proposal from Vistana containing information reasonably necessary for the Starwood Parties to assess such suggested change. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any changes made to the SPG Program shall be at the Starwood Parties’ sole discretion.

(d) No Obligation to Continue SPG Program. Vistana acknowledges that Starwood is under no obligation to continue the SPG Program. In the event that the SPG Program is eliminated, Starwood shall treat Owners who hold Starpoints in a manner consistent with other SPG Members. Starwood shall provide Vistana with notice of any termination of the SPG Program no less than six (6) months prior to the effectiveness of the termination, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(e) Merger of Programs. In the event the SPG Program is combined with or becomes part of another Loyalty Program, Starwood shall treat Owners who hold Starpoints in a manner consistent with other SPG Members other than with respect to the rights described in Sections 4(a) and 6(a).

Section 9.

Prohibition on Dilution of SPG Program Relationship Benefits.

During the term of this Agreement, Vistana shall neither take any action, nor fail to take any action, that would result in the dilution of SPG Member’s benefits under the SPG Program. For the avoidance of doubt, Vistana entering into any partnership whereby customers of the partner are advantaged over SPG Members of comparable status would result in the dilution of SPG Member’s benefits. For example, without limitation, Vistana may not enter into a partnership whereby elite customers of a partner are upgraded when staying at Vistana Properties before SPG Members with Elite Status.

Section 10.

Exclusive Customer Loyalty Program.

Except as otherwise approved by Starwood pursuant to the License Agreement, neither Vistana nor any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or Licensed Unbranded Property may utilize or affiliate with in any manner (including in connection with marketing initiatives) any loyalty program other than (i) the SPG Program, or (ii) any general timeshare exchange company in which other Vacation Ownership Business operators participate. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions on use and affiliation with customer loyalty programs shall apply, without limitation, to (i) any customer loyalty program provided by a Lodging Competitor with respect to each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and each Licensed Unbranded Property and (ii) any third-party travel distribution company (e.g., Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vistana may not utilize or affiliate with in any manner (including in connection with marketing initiatives) any customer loyalty program provided by a third-party timeshare exchange company that (i) is an Affiliate of a Lodging Competitor or (ii) issues “points” or other currency of a loyalty program of a Lodging Competitor.

Section 11.

Partner Agreements.

(a) Cooperation and Compliance. The parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Transaction, Vistana received significant benefits (e.g. co-branded cards and crossover rewards) from SPG Program partner agreements between the Starwood Parties and various vendor and service providers (such agreements in effect now or in the future, “Partner Agreements”) and Vistana’s continued participation in Partner Agreements following the Transaction would benefit the Starwood Parties and Vistana. As such, the Starwood Parties agree to cooperate with Vistana in good faith to enable Vistana to participate after the Effective Date in Partner Agreements in which Vistana is eligible to participate and Vistana agrees that each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and each Licensed Unbranded Property shall, to the extent practicable, participate in all Partner Agreement benefits in the same manner as other SPG Participating Hotels. Notwithstanding Vistana’s participation in any Partner Agreements, Vistana hereby agrees it and each Licensed Vacation Ownership Property and each Licensed Unbranded Property shall comply with all obligations set forth in the Partner Agreements that subject the Starwood Parties or the SPG Participating Hotels to act on an exclusive basis with respect to any service or product provided or received by the Starwood Parties or the SPG Participating Hotels to the extent Starwood notifies Vistana of such obligations; provided, that upon notice to the Starwood Parties Vistana may continue to comply with obligations under of its then existing agreements for the remainder of the then current term unless Vistana has the ability to terminate the existing agreements without penalty or adverse impact to the Licensed Business or Starwood elects to pay termination fees and otherwise compensate for any adverse impact to the Licensed Business to assist Vistana in exiting the existing partnership.

(b) Pitches. Upon request, Starwood shall provide Vistana the opportunity to present or otherwise submit Partner Agreements proposals for marketing initiatives (a “Pitch”). Starwood may in its commercially reasonable judgment accept or reject any Pitch. Starwood and Vistana shall cooperate in good faith to pursue any accepted Pitch; provided however, Starwood may at any time cease its efforts to pursue an accepted Pitch for any good faith reason.

Section 12. Marketing

The Starwood Parties shall include Vistana and the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in promotions, marketing and communications, and Vistana may include the SPG Program in its promotions marketing and communications, pursuant to and as set forth in the License Agreement, the Vistana Specific Use SOP and in other agreements between the parties.

Section 13. Vistana Associates.

(a) Benefits. Following the Effective Date, Vistana associates shall be provided with the same benefits and limitations relating to the SPG Program as those provided by Starwood to Starwood associates.

(b) Fraud Prevention. As of or prior to the Effective Date, Vistana shall adopt and maintain a policy directed at preventing Vistana associates from engaging in fraudulent activity in connection with the SPG Program. Vistana shall provide a copy of this policy, and any changes thereto, to the Starwood Parties. Vistana shall provide such assistance as the Starwood Parties reasonably request in connection with the Starwood Parties’ efforts to determine whether any Vistana associate is engaging in fraudulent activity in connection with the SPG Program.

Section 14. Reporting.

(a) Reports to Vistana. Starwood shall report to Vistana the same categories and quantities of information relating to the SPG Program that Starwood provides to other SPG Participating Hotels.

(b) Starwood Audits. During the term of this Agreement and any Tail Period, and for three (3) years thereafter, the Starwood Parties and their authorized representatives shall have the right, at any time (but not more than once per calendar year, unless an audit reveals non-compliance with this Agreement or the Vistana Specific Use SOP in such year), upon reasonable notice to Vistana and at the Starwood Parties’ cost, to: (i) examine all books, records, accounts and data (including its computers and electronic storage media) of Vistana solely relating to the issuance, redemption or reimbursement of Starpoints for the year preceding such examination to ensure that Vistana is complying with the terms of this Agreement (including with respect to the calculation of fees related to the issuance of Starpoints by Vistana and other amounts payable under this Agreement where the calculation of such amount depends on information provided by Vistana) and to copy such information that is reasonably necessary for, and relevant to, such audit; and (ii) have an independent audit made of any of such books, records, accounts and data (including its computers and electronic storage media). Vistana shall fully cooperate with, and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested related to, the audit. If an examination or audit reveals that Vistana has not complied with its obligations hereunder in any material respect, the parties shall convene promptly after such non-compliance is discovered and use their best good faith efforts to resolve such non-compliance. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of damages and restriction of Vistana’s rights hereunder may be appropriate resolutions.

Section 15. Term.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17, (ii) the termination of the SPG Program without substitution of a successor program, or (iii) the termination or expiration of the License Agreement; provided, however, if the License Agreement expires in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall continue until the expiration of the Tail Period of the License Agreement subject to the limitations described below in Section 18.

Section 16. Assignment.

Vistana may not assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Starwood Parties, and any such assignment or transfer without consent will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vistana shall assign this Agreement to the extent it assigns the License Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. Each of the Starwood Parties may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Vistana’s consent to: (i) an Affiliate of Starwood that has the legal, financial and operational ability to perform the obligations of Starwood under this Agreement, or (ii) any other Person, but only to the extent of an assignment or transfer of the applicable portion of the SPG Program. This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 17. Default.

(a) Vistana Defaults with No Cure Period. The Starwood Parties may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Vistana, or exercise any of the remedies under Section 17(d), in the event of any of the following Defaults:

(i) Starwood terminates the License Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof based on Vistana’s default thereunder;

(ii) Vistana or any principal, director, officer, shareholder or agent of Vistana, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, discloses, causes, or fails to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of, or otherwise uses in an unauthorized manner, any Starwood Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, and an arbitration panel under this Agreement determines that (A) a material breach has occurred, (B) (I) Vistana has failed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such breach or (II) such breach was intentional or resulted from Vistana’s gross negligence, and (C) such breach has or may result in the goodwill associated with the SPG Program being so materially damaged as a result of the breach that interim injunctive relief is an inadequate remedy and that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy; or

(iii) any assignment or transfer by Vistana or its Affiliates occurs in violation of Section 16 of this Agreement, and Vistana fails to notify the Starwood Parties within fourteen (14) days following a notice of Default from the Starwood Parties that Vistana intends to unwind such assignment or transfer or fails to actually unwind such assignment or transfer in a manner satisfactory to the Starwood Parties within ninety (90) days following the notice of Default; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or limit the Starwood Parties’ ability to seek injunctive relief to stop such assignment or transfer at any time;

(iv) Vistana dissolves or liquidates, except in connection with an assignment or transfer permitted by Section 16 of this Agreement; or

(v) Vistana becomes insolvent, generally does not pay its debts as they become due, or files a voluntary petition (or consents to an involuntary petition) or an involuntary petition is filed and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, and such bankruptcy or insolvency has a material adverse effect on Vistana’s operation of the Licensed Business or the Starwood Parties or the Starwood Parties’ Affiliates or the SPG Program or any goodwill associated with the SPG Program.

(b) Vistana Defaults with a Cure Period. The Starwood Parties may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Vistana, or exercise any of the remedies under Section 17(d), if any of the following Defaults is not cured within the applicable Cure Period following a notice of Default from the Starwood Parties to Vistana:

(i) Vistana or its Affiliates fail to pay any amounts due under and in the manner required by this Agreement to the Starwood Parties or their Affiliates when the same becomes due and payable;

(iii) Vistana or its Affiliates fail to comply with any of their obligations in this Agreement or the Vistana Specific Use SOP and such failure has, or is reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Starwood Parties or their Affiliates; or

(iv) Vistana or any of its Affiliates is convicted of a felony or other similar crime or offense, or engages in a pattern or practice of acts or conduct that, as a result of the adverse publicity that has occurred in connection with such offense, acts, or conduct, has or may result in the goodwill associated with the SPG Program or the reputation of the Starwood Parties or any of their Affiliates being so materially damaged that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy.

For the purposes of this Section 17(b), “Cure Period” means:

1. with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, ten (10) Business Days following a notice of Default from the Starwood Parties to Vistana; and

2. with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv) above, ninety (90) days following a notice of Default from the Starwood Parties to Vistana.

(c) Other Vistana Defaults. The Starwood Parties may exercise any of the remedies under Section 17(d), in the event of any of the following Defaults:

(d) The Starwood Parties’ Remedies. Upon any Default under Section 17(a), Section 17(b), or Section 17(c), the Starwood Parties shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (without limitation to the Starwood Parties’ right to terminate this Agreement under Section 17(a) and Section 17(b)):

(i) institute any and all proceedings permitted by Applicable Law or in equity with respect to such event of Default, including, without limitation, actions for injunctive or declaratory relief (including specific performance) and damages. Vistana acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that the Starwood Parties terminate this Agreement pursuant to a termination right expressly identified in Section 17(a) or Section 17(b), the Starwood Parties shall, in addition to the right to terminate, have the right to seek and obtain damages with respect to the termination of the Agreement. Vistana agrees that the Starwood Parties have devoted substantial resources to developing and building the SPG Program and that the SPG Program, including the significant reputation and goodwill associated therewith, has been developed by the Starwood Parties over a period of years prior to the Effective Date, and, therefore, it would be unreasonable to expect or require the Starwood Parties to mitigate their damages resulting from such Default and termination; and

(ii) suspend Vistana’s right to access and use information included in the SPG Program, to offer Starpoints for Permitted Uses, provide Elite Status pursuant to Section 6 or be included in the Starwood Parties’ communications, marketing or promotional materials until the Default is cured.

(e) No Waiver by the Starwood Parties. The exercise by the Starwood Parties of any remedies in Sections 16(a) through (d) shall not (i) constitute actual or constructive termination or abandonment of this Agreement, (ii) be a waiver of any Default under this Agreement or (iii) prevent the Starwood Parties from terminating this Agreement as otherwise permitted hereunder or exercising their other remedies. Vistana shall pay all Reimbursable Expenses actually incurred by the Starwood Parties and their representatives in exercising their rights under Sections 16(a) through (d).

(i) Vistana terminates the License Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof based on Starwood’s default thereunder;

(ii) the Starwood Parties or any principal, director, officer, shareholder or agent of the Starwood Parties, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, discloses, causes, or fails to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of, or otherwise uses in an unauthorized manner, any Vistana Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, and an arbitration panel under this Agreement determines that (A) a material breach has occurred, (B) (I) the Starwood Parties have failed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such breach or (II) such breach was intentional or resulted from the Starwood Parties’ gross negligence, and (C) such breach has or may result in the goodwill associated with the Licensed Business being so materially damaged as a result of the breach that interim injunctive relief is an inadequate remedy and that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy;

(iii) an assignment or transfer by the Starwood Parties occurs in violation of Section 16 of this Agreement, and the Starwood Parties fail to notify Vistana within fourteen (14) days following a notice of Default from Vistana that the Starwood Parties intend to unwind such assignment or transfer or fail to actually unwind such assignment or transfer in a manner satisfactory to Vistana within ninety (90) days following the notice of Default; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or limit Vistana’s ability to seek injunctive relief to stop such assignment or transfer at any time;

(iv) the Starwood Parties dissolve or liquidate, except in connection with an assignment or transfer permitted under Section 16 of this Agreement; or

(v) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Starwood Parties become insolvent, generally do not pay their debts as they become due, or file a voluntary petition (or consent to an involuntary petition or an involuntary petition is filed and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days) under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, and such bankruptcy or insolvency has a material adverse effect on the Licensed Business or Vistana or Vistana’s Affiliates.

(g) The Starwood Parties’ Defaults with a Cure Period. Vistana may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Starwood Parties, or exercise any of the remedies under Section 17(i), if any of the following Defaults is not cured within the applicable Cure Period following a notice of Default from Vistana to the Starwood Parties:

(i) the Starwood Parties or their Affiliates fail to pay when due a total amount in excess of five million dollars ($5,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) under all the Transaction Agreements taken together;

(ii) the Starwood Parties or any of their Affiliates are convicted of a felony or other similar crime or offense and such conviction is the actual and sole cause of Vistana being prevented from obtaining or retaining the licenses that it requires to continue operating the Licensed Business at all, or substantially all, of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties and the Licensed Business is so materially damaged as a result of such conviction that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy; or

(iii) the Starwood Parties or any of their Affiliates fail to comply with any of their obligations in this Agreement or the Vistana Specific Use SOP and such failure has, or is reasonable expected to have, a material adverse effect on Vistana or its Affiliates.

For the purposes of this Section 17(g), “Cure Period” means:

1. with respect to clause (i) above, ten (10) Business Days following notice of Default from Vistana to the Starwood Parties.

2. with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, ninety (90) days following a notice of Default from Vistana to the Starwood Parties.

(ii) the Starwood Parties or any of their Affiliates is convicted of a felony or other similar crime or offense and such conviction prevents Vistana from obtaining or retaining the licenses that it requires to continue operating the Licensed Business at any individual Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

(i) Vistana Remedies. Upon any Default under Sections 16(f) through (h), Vistana shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (without limitation to Vistana’s right to terminate this Agreement under Sections 16(f) through (h)):

(ii) suspend provision of the services that Vistana is required to provide to the Starwood Parties under this Agreement until the Default is cured.

(j) Other Defaults. If Vistana or the Starwood Parties materially fail to fulfill any of the other material covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement, except where specific remedies are identified for Defaults described in Sections 16(a) through (e), the non-defaulting party shall have the right to institute any and all proceedings permitted by Applicable Law or in equity with respect to such failure, including, without limitation, actions

for injunctive or declaratory relief (including specific performance) and damages; provided, however, that the non-defaulting party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such failure, unless it is determined by an arbitration panel under this Agreement that (i) the non-defaulting party has been, or shall be, damaged in an amount in excess of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the GDP Deflator) or (ii) the goodwill associated with the SPG Program (if the Starwood Parties are the non-defaulting party) or the Licensed Business (if Vistana is the non-defaulting party) has been, or shall be, so materially damaged as a result of the conduct of the defaulting party that interim injunctive relief is an inadequate remedy and that termination of the entire relationship contemplated by this Agreement is the only adequate remedy, in which case the non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the rendering of the arbitration panel’s determination. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the non-defaulting party terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(j), the non-defaulting party shall, in addition to the right to terminate, have the right to seek and obtain damages with respect to the termination of this Agreement.

(i) If either Vistana’s or the Starwood Parties’ failure to conform to, keep, perform, fulfill or satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, obligation, standard, test, or condition set forth in this Agreement, other than an obligation to make monetary payments or provide monetary funding, is caused, in whole or in material part, by one or more Extraordinary Events, such failure shall not constitute a failure or a Default under this Agreement, and such failure shall be excused for as long as the failure is caused, in whole or in part, by such Extraordinary Event(s), and so long as cure is diligently pursued.

(ii) If either Vistana’s or the Starwood Parties’ failure to conform to, keep, perform, fulfill or satisfy a material obligation set forth in this Agreement that affects all or substantially all of the services to be provided under this Agreement, or that has a material adverse effect on the SPG Program or the Licensed Business as a whole, other than an obligation to make monetary payments or provide monetary funding, is caused, in whole or in material part, by one or more Extraordinary Events, such failure shall not constitute a failure or a Default under this Agreement, and such failure shall be excused for as long as the failure is caused, in whole or in part, by such Extraordinary Event(s), and so long as cure is diligently pursued.

(A) any violation of Applicable Law with respect to the Vistana Specific Uses;

(C) the sales and marketing activities occurring after the Effective Date, and the operation, management or servicing of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties or of any other business conducted by Vistana or its Affiliates on, related to, or in connection with the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, the Licensed Unbranded Properties, or the Licensed Business;

(D) claims made by Owners or other customers of the Licensed Business as a result of the termination (other than wrongful termination by the Starwood Parties) or expiration of this Agreement or any rights granted hereunder to Vistana in accordance herewith;

(F) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vistana or its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, agents, sublicensees or employees related to this Agreement or the Licensed Business.

(ii) The Starwood Parties shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Vistana and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, and their respective successors and assigns for, from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities, damages, claims, demands and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and expert fees and costs) of every kind and description with respect to claims arising out of, relating to or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Starwood Parties or their Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, agents, sublicensees or employees related to this Agreement, the SPG Program or the Licensed Business.

(iii) If any party receives notice of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation for which it is entitled to an indemnity under Section 19(a), it shall promptly notify the other party.

(iv) Unless the parties otherwise agree, within 30 days after an indemnifying party receives notice of a claim in accordance with Section 19(a)(iii), the indemnifying party shall defend the third-party claim (and, unless the indemnifying party has specified any reservations or exceptions, seek to settle or compromise), at its expense and with its counsel. The indemnitee may, at its expense, employ separate counsel and participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement of the third-party claim. However, the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and expenses of the indemnitee’s counsel (i) for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense of the claim (other than for any period in which the indemnitee did not notify the indemnifying party of the third-party claim as required by Section 19(a)(iii); or (ii) if the engagement of counsel is as a result of a conflict of interest, as the indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith. Notwithstanding the above, (x)if the Starwood Parties determines that the matter at issue may have a material adverse effect on the Starwood Parties, the SPG Program, or Starwood’s Lodging Business, then the Starwood Parties, through counsel of their choice, may control the defense or response to any such action, and such undertaking by the Starwood Parties shall not, in any manner or form, diminish the Starwood Parties’ obligations to Vistana hereunder; or (y) if the matter at issue principally relates to Vistana’s interest in the Licensed Business, the Starwood Parties shall allow Vistana, through counsel of its choice, to control the defense or response to any such action, and such undertaking by Vistana shall not, in any manner or form, diminish Vistana’s obligations to the Starwood Parties hereunder; provided, in either case, the non-controlling party and its counsel shall be permitted to participate in such action at its expense.

(v) Under no circumstances shall any indemnitee be required or obligated to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise mitigate its losses in order to maintain a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, and the failure to pursue such recovery or mitigate a loss shall in no way reduce the amounts recoverable from the indemnifying party by the indemnitee.

To the extent that the positions taken on any Starwood Consolidated Tax Return would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of Vistana or a Vistana Entity for any period after the Distribution Date, Starwood shall prepare the portions of such

Tax Return that relates to the Vistana Business in a manner that is consistent with Past Practice except to the extent that Starwood decides to change the method of reporting with respect to the Universal Explorer Program or unless otherwise required by applicable Law or agreed to in writing by the Parties, and shall provide a draft of such portion of such Tax Return to Vistana for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Starwood from timely filing any such Tax Return. In the event that Past Practice is not applicable to a particular item or matter, Starwood shall determine the reporting of such item or matter in good faith. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed issues. Any disputes that the Parties are unable to resolve shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 8.01. In the event that any dispute is not resolved (whether pursuant to good faith negotiations among the Parties or by the Accounting Firm) prior to the Due Date for the filing of any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be timely filed by Starwood and Starwood agrees to amend such Tax Return as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute in a manner consistent with such resolution.

(ii) Mixed Business Tax Returns. To the extent that the positions taken on any Mixed Business Tax Return would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of the party other than the party that is required to prepare and file any such Tax Return pursuant to Section 2.02 (the “Reviewing Party”) for any period after the Distribution Date, the party required to prepare and file such Tax Return (the “Preparing Party”) shall prepare the portions of such Tax Return that relates to the business of the Reviewing Party (the Vistana Business or the Starwood Business, as the case may be) in a manner that is consistent with Past Practice unless otherwise required by applicable Law or agreed to in writing by the Parties, and shall provide a draft of such portion of such Tax Return to the Reviewing Party for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Preparing Party from timely filing any such Tax Return. In the event that Past Practice is not applicable to a particular item or matter, the Preparing Party shall determine the reporting of such item or matter in good faith. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed issues. Any disputes that the Parties are unable to resolve shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 8.01. In the event that any dispute is not resolved (whether pursuant to good faith negotiations among the Parties or by the Accounting Firm) prior to the Due Date for the filing of any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be timely filed by the Preparing Party and the Parties agree to amend such Tax Return as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute in a manner consistent with such resolution.

(b) Procedures relating to Single Business Returns. The Party that is required to prepare and file any Single Business Return pursuant to Section 2.03 (the “Single Business Return Preparing Party”) which reflects Taxes which are reimbursable by the other Party (the “Single Business Return Reviewing Party”), in whole or in part, shall (x) unless otherwise required by Law or agreed to in writing by the Single Business Return Reviewing

Party, prepare such Tax Return in a manner consistent with Past Practice to the extent such items affect the Taxes for which the Single Business Return Reviewing Party is responsible pursuant to this Agreement, and (y) submit to the Single Business Return Reviewing Party a draft of any such Tax Return (or to the extent practicable the portion of such Tax Return that relates to Taxes for which the Single Business Return Reviewing Party is responsible pursuant to this Agreement) along with a statement setting forth the calculation of the Tax shown due and payable on such Tax Return reimbursable by the Single Business Return Reviewing Party under Section 2.03 at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Single Business Return Preparing Party from timely filing any such Single Business Return. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed issues. Any disputes that the Parties are unable to resolve shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 8.01. In the event that any dispute is not resolved (whether pursuant to good faith negotiations among the Parties or by the Accounting Firm) prior to the Due Date for the filing of any Single Business Return, such Single Business Return shall be timely filed by the Single Business Return Preparing Party and the Parties agree to amend such Single Business Return as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute in a manner consistent with such resolution.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, (i) the portion of any Tax Return that relates to any Taxes attributable to a Starwood Disqualifying Action shall be prepared by Starwood in the manner determined by Starwood in its sole discretion (or, if such Tax Return is required to be prepared by Vistana, be prepared by Vistana in the manner determined by Starwood in its sole discretion), and (ii) the portion of any Tax Return that relates solely to any Taxes attributable to a Vistana Disqualifying Action shall be prepared by Vistana in the manner determined by Vistana in its sole discretion or, if such Tax Return is required to be prepared by Starwood, be prepared by Starwood in the manner determined by Vistana in its sole discretion, in each case in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 2.06 Straddle Period Tax Allocation. Starwood and Vistana shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to close the taxable year of Vistana and each Vistana Entity for all Tax purposes as of the close of the Distribution Date to the extent permissible or required under applicable Law.

portion of the Straddle Period ending on, or beginning after, the Distribution Date shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of Vistana or such Vistana Entity as of the close of the Distribution Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis shall be allocated between such portions in proportion to the number of days in each such portion; provided, further, that real property and other property or similar periodic Taxes shall be apportioned on a per diem basis.

Section 2.07 Timing of Payments. All Taxes required to be paid or caused to be paid pursuant to this Article II by either Starwood or a Starwood Entity or Vistana or a Vistana Entity, as the case may be, to an applicable Taxing Authority or reimbursed by Starwood or Vistana to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, shall, in the case of a payment to a Taxing Authority, be paid on or before the Due Date for the payment of such Taxes and, in the case of a reimbursement to the other Party, be paid at least two (2) business days before the Due Date for the payment of such Taxes by the other Party; provided that the Party seeking reimbursement shall furnish such other Party reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for, and calculation of, the amount of such reimbursement obligation.

Section 3.02 Indemnification by Vistana. Subject to Section 3.03, Vistana shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Starwood harmless from and against, without duplication, (a) all Vistana Taxes, (b) all Taxes incurred by Starwood or any Starwood Entity by reason of the breach by Vistana or any member of the Vistana Group of any of its warranties or covenants hereunder, (c) all Taxes incurred by Starwood or any Starwood Entity by reason of the breach by Vistana or any member of the Vistana Group of any of its representations hereunder with respect to any action (or failure to take any action) of Vistana or any member of the Vistana Group after the Effective Time, and (d) any costs and expenses related to the foregoing (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 3.03 Characterization of and Adjustments to Payments.

(a) For all Tax purposes, Starwood and Vistana agree to treat any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Distribution Date) as either a contribution by Starwood to Vistana or a distribution by Vistana to Starwood, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Distribution Date.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of any Indemnified Party pursuant to Article III of this Agreement shall be (i) decreased to take into account the actual Tax Benefit to the Indemnified Party (or any of its affiliates) arising from the incurrence or payment of the relevant indemnified item (which Tax Benefit would not have arisen or been allowable but for such indemnified item), and (ii) increased to take into account any actual Tax Cost of the Indemnified Party (or any of its affiliates) arising from the receipt of the relevant indemnity payment (but taking into account any actual offsetting Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Tax Cost). The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to agree on a one-time estimate of future Tax Costs and Tax Benefits under this paragraph and will make payment accordingly, and any such agreement will be final and conclusive. To the extent the Parties fail to reach agreement, any disagreement shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof.

Section 3.04 Timing of Indemnification Payments.

Section 3.05 Indemnification Payments under Ancillary Agreements. To the extent that an indemnification payment is made under any Ancillary Agreement, such indemnification payment shall be decreased to take into account the Tax Benefit actually realized (whether directly or indirectly) by the indemnified party and increased to take into account any Tax Cost actually incurred (whether directly or indirectly) by the indemnified party under principles analogous to the principles described in Section 3.03 hereof.

ARTICLE IV

REFUNDS, CARRYBACKS, TIMING DIFFERENCE AND TAX ATTRIBUTES

Section 4.01 Refunds and Credits.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.02, Starwood shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which Starwood is responsible pursuant to Article III, and Vistana shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which Vistana is responsible pursuant to Article III. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a particular Refund of Taxes may be allocable to a Straddle Period with respect to which the Parties may share responsibility pursuant to Article III, the

portion of such Refund to which each Party will be entitled shall be determined by comparing the amount of payments made by a Party (or any of member of such Party’s Group) to a Taxing Authority or to the other Party (and reduced by the amount of payments received from the other Party) pursuant to Articles II and III hereof with the Tax liability of such Party as determined under Section 2.06, taking into account the facts as utilized for purposes of claiming such Refund. If a Party (or any member of its Tax Group) receives a Refund to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, such Party shall pay the amount to which such other Party is entitled within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Refund.

(b) In the event of an Adjustment relating to Taxes for which one Party is responsible pursuant to Article III which would have given rise to a Refund but for an offset against the Taxes for which the other Party (or a member of its Tax Group) is or may be responsible pursuant to Article III (the “Benefited Party”), then the Benefited Party shall pay to the other Party, within ten (10) days of the Final Determination of such Adjustment an amount equal to the amount of such reduction in the Taxes of the Benefited Party (or such Tax Group member) plus interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(1) on such amount for the period from the filing date of the Tax Return that would have given rise to such Refund to the payment date.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 4.01(a), to the extent that a Party (or any member of its Tax Group) applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Taxing Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such overpayment of Taxes, if received as a Refund, would have been payable by such Party to the other Party pursuant to this Section 4.01, such Party shall pay such amount to the other Party no later than the Due Date of the Tax Return for which such overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable.

(d) If Vistana or any member of its Tax Group receives a Refund attributable to Restructuring VAT, or otherwise utilizes the benefits of a payment of Restructuring VAT (including by way of credit), Vistana shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Starwood, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any such Refund or the filing of the Tax Return utilizing any such benefit the amount of such Restructuring VAT to the extent of such Refund, credit or other benefit. Vistana agrees to claim, and to cause members of its Tax Group to claim, any refund, offset, credit or other allowance attributable to Restructuring VAT as soon as reasonably possible and to furnish to Starwood at Starwood’s request all information, records and assistance reasonably necessary to verify the amount of any such refund, offset, credit or other allowance.

(e) To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 4.01 is later reduced by a Taxing Authority or in a Tax Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 4.01 and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made.

Section 4.02 Carrybacks.

(a) The carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Closing Period shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations (and any applicable state, local or foreign Laws).

(b) Except to the extent otherwise consented to by Starwood or prohibited by applicable Law, Vistana (or the appropriate member of its Tax Group) shall elect to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo the carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Closing Period to any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period with respect to members of the Vistana Group (a “Carryback”). In the event that Vistana (or the appropriate member of its Tax Group) is prohibited by applicable Law to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo a Carryback (or Starwood consents to a Carryback), Starwood shall cooperate with Vistana, at Vistana’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Taxing Authority such Refund as reasonably would result from such Carryback, to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to such Carryback, and shall pay over to Vistana the amount of such Refund, net of any Taxes imposed on the receipt of such Refund, within ten (10) days after such Refund is received;provided, however, that Vistana shall indemnify and hold the members of Starwood’s Tax Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences and reasonable out of pocket expenses resulting from or caused by any such Carryback, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes (including any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) resulting from the Final Determination of an Adjustment that results in the disallowance of or adjustment to the amount of any Carryback under this Section 4.02, and including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of Starwood’s Tax Group if (i) such Tax Attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carryback, or (ii) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later taxable period than the taxable period in which such Tax Attributes would have been utilized but for such Carryback and shall pay Starwood such amounts within ten (10) days after written notification thereof by Starwood, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for, and calculation of, the amount of such Tax consequences and expenses, or within ten (10) days after resolution pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 4.03 Tax Attributes; E&P.

(a) Subject to Section 4.03(c), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Starwood shall reasonably determine in good faith the allocation of Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Closing Period to the Starwood Group and the Vistana Group in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations including (i) in the case of Tax Attributes other than earnings and profits, Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-9T(c), 1.1502-21, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22, 1.1502-79 and, if applicable, 1.1502-79A (and any applicable state, local and foreign Tax Laws), and (ii) in the case of earnings and profits, in accordance with Code Section 312(h) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.312-10(a). Subject to the preceding sentence, Starwood shall be entitled to make any determination as to (A) basis, and (B) valuation, and shall make such determinations reasonably and in good faith and consistent with Past Practice, where applicable. Starwood shall consult in good faith with Vistana regarding such allocation of Tax Attributes and determinations as to basis and valuation, and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments received in writing from Vistana regarding such allocation and determinations. Starwood and Vistana hereby agree to compute all Taxes for Post-Closing Periods consistently with the determination of the allocation of Tax Attributes pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

(b) To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Taxing Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 4.03(a).

(c) Upon the written request of Vistana, Starwood shall provide Vistana, within six (6) months of receipt of such request or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, an allocation of earnings and profits (“E&P”) between Starwood and Vistana, and Starwood shall allocate such E&P in accordance with Section 1.312-10(a) of the Treasury Regulations, and such allocation shall control for Tax periods beginning after the Distribution Date; provided however, that (i) Starwood shall provide Vistana a reasonable opportunity to review, and provide written comments to, such allocation of E&P, including an E&P study if an E&P study is conducted, and shall consider in good faith the reasonable comments made by Vistana and (ii) as reasonably requested by Vistana, Starwood shall provide Vistana with copies of any workpapers or other documentation that are used in connection with determining the allocations and/or reductions of E&P, including a final copy of any E&P study conducted and prepared in connection therewith.

Section 4.04 Treatment of Deductions Associated with Equity-Related Compensation.

(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, from and after the Distribution Date, (i) solely Starwood or any member of the Starwood Group, as the case may be, shall be entitled to claim any Tax deduction associated with (A) the exercise in any taxable period of any Starwood stock options, stock appreciation rights or any other equity award in respect of Starwood stock (“SW Equity Award”) by any Vistana Employee, (B) any cash payment made by Starwood to any Vistana Employee in respect of any SW Equity Award and (C) any other cash payments by Starwood (or for which Starwood or any member of the Starwood Group is economically responsible under the Transaction Documents) to a Vistana Employee, including any annual bonuses payable in 2016, and (ii) solely ILG or any member of the ILG Group, as the case may be, shall be entitled to claim any Tax deduction associated with (A) the exercise in any taxable period of any ILG stock option, stock appreciation rights or other equity award in respect of any ILG stock (“ILG Equity Award”) by any Vistana Employee into which a SW Equity Award is converted pursuant to the Employees Matters Agreement, (B) any cash payment made to any Vistana Employee after the Distribution Date in respect of any ILG Equity Award and (C) any other cash payments to a Vistana Employee for which ILG or any member of the ILG Group is economically responsible under the Transaction Documents.

(b) “Vistana Employee” means any person employed or formerly employed by any member of the Vistana Group at the time of the exercise, vesting, settlement disqualifying disposition or payment, as appropriate.

(c) To the extent under applicable law a Party or a member of such Party’s Tax Group is unable to claim any of the Tax deductions in Section 4.04(a) and the other Party or a member of such other Party’s Tax Group obtains a Tax deduction or a Tax Benefit in

respect of a Tax period for which such other Party is responsible for Taxes, then such other Party shall make a cash payment to the first Party in an amount equal to the reduction in Taxes otherwise required to be paid as a result of such Tax deduction or Tax Benefit.

Section 4.05 Timing Differences. If pursuant to a Final Determination an Adjustment (i) increases the amount of liability for any Taxes for which a member of the Starwood Group is responsible hereunder and a Tax Benefit is made allowable to Vistana or a member of its Tax Group for any Tax period after the Effective Time, which Tax Benefit would not have arisen or been allowable but for such Adjustment, and which Tax Benefit reduces Taxes in respect of a Tax period for which Vistana or a member of its Tax Group is liable (and for which no member of the Starwood Group is liable) or (ii) increases the amount of liability for any Taxes for which a member of the Vistana Group is responsible hereunder and a Tax Benefit is made allowable to Starwood or a member of its Tax Group for any Tax period prior to the Effective Time, which Tax Benefit would not have arisen or been allowable but for such Adjustment, and which Tax Benefit reduces Taxes in respect of a Tax period which Starwood or a member of its Tax Group is liable (and for which no member of the Vistana Group is liable), then Vistana or Starwood, as the case may be, shall make a payment to either Starwood or Vistana, as appropriate, within thirty (30) days of the date that such paying Party (or any of its Tax Group members) actually receives such Tax Benefit (determined by comparing its (and its Tax Group members’) Tax liability with and without the Tax consequences of the Adjustment), which payment shall not exceed the increase in the amount of liability for any Taxes resulting from such Adjustment, for which a member of the Starwood Group or Vistana Group, as the case may be, is responsible hereunder.

Section 4.06 Section 336(e) Election.

(a) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.336-2(h)(1) and 1.336-2(j), Starwood shall make a timely actual or protective election (as shall be appropriate) under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder for Vistana and any other Vistana Entity for which Starwood determines to make an election with respect to the Distribution (a “Section 336(e) Election”). It is intended that a Section 336(e) Election will have no effect unless the Distribution is a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(6), if as determined by Starwood in good faith (a) the Distribution is not a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or (b) Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(5)(ii) applies to the Distribution. Starwood, ILG, and Vistana shall cooperate in making the Section 336(e) Election, including filing any statements, amending any Tax Returns or taking such other action reasonably necessary to carry out the Section 336(e) Election. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement is intended to constitute a written, binding agreement to make such Section 336(e) Election within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(i). Starwood shall provide Vistana with a proposed determination of the “Aggregate Deemed Asset Disposition Price” and the “Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis” (each as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) and the allocation of such Aggregate Deemed Asset Disposition Price and Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis among the disposition date assets of Vistana and its subsidiaries, each in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 336(e) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Section 336(e) Allocation Statement”). Within thirty (30) days after Vistana’s receipt of the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, Vistana may provide comments to Starwood to the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement and

Starwood shall consider such comments in good faith; provided, however, that Starwood may not reject any such Vistana comment if such rejection would materially adversely affect Vistana without Vistana’s consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (taking into account the rights and obligations under this Agreement), provided, however, that if Starwood may not reject any such comment pursuant to this sentence then the Parties shall work together in good faith and any remaining disagreement with respect to such comment shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.01. No member of the ILG Group or the Vistana Group shall take any position inconsistent with the Section 336(e) Election including the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement except as may be required by a Final Determination.

(b) If Starwood files a Tax Return reflecting the position that, or there is a Final Determination that, the Distribution fails to qualify as a Tax-free spin-off under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code, including taxation even if only by reason of the application of Section 355(e) of the Code to the Distribution, and Starwood or any member of the Starwood Group is liable for Taxes as a result therefrom, then any Tax Benefit actually realized by Vistana or any member of its Tax Group as a result of the Section 336(e) Election for any Tax period after the Effective Time, whether by virtue of an increase in the Tax basis in such member’s assets or otherwise, shall be paid by Vistana to Starwood within thirty (30) days of the date that Vistana or any member of its Tax Group actually receives such Tax Benefit.

Section 4.07 SVO Conversion. Starwood may, in its discretion, submit an IRS Ruling Request to the IRS regarding an SVO Conversion. In such event, ILG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Starwood in obtaining the ruling. If the SVO Conversion is not effected, whether because such ruling is not obtained or because Starwood in its discretion decides not to convert SVO to a limited liability company and/or effect the SVO Conversion, ILG will pay Starwood an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of any Tax Benefit actually realized (in any period , provided that such Tax Benefit reduces Taxes for which Vistana, and not Starwood, is responsible hereunder) by Vistana or any member of its Tax Group as a result of SVO not being treated as liquidating for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes (including, without limitation, any Tax Benefits relating to losses in respect of a Tax election to treat Westin SVO Los Cabos, S. de X.X. de CV as a partnership for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes and in respect of any transfer of the stock of Caledonia Properties N.V. and Caledonia Development R Management) within thirty (30) days of the date that Vistana or any member of its Tax Group actually receives such Tax Benefit. The amount of such Tax Benefit shall be the amount by which (i) the Vistana Group’s actual Tax liability (treating SVO as a corporation for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes before and immediately after the Distribution Date) is less than (ii) the Tax liability the Vistana Group would have incurred had SVO “liquidated” (within the meaning and as determined for purposes of Section 332 of the Code) prior to the Distribution Date and such “liquidation” of SVO had been respected for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes.

Section 4.08 Tax Benefit Determinations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if and to the extent a Party owns, directly or indirectly, less than 100% of the equity of any entity and as a result of such less-than-100% ownership interest in the entity such entity is not a member of the Party’s Tax Group, then the amount of the Tax Benefit payment under Article IV shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account the percentage ownership (based on value) of any such entity, and shall be determined and due and owing even if such entity is not a member of the Tax Group of a Party.

Section 4.09 Supporting Documentation. If a Party seeks any payment from the other Party pursuant to Article IV, the requesting Party shall furnish such other Party reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for, and the calculation of, the amount of such payment obligation. If such other Party disagrees with the determination of the amount of the payment obligation set forth therein, any disputes shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 8.01.

The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding within such ten (10) day period or promptly forward any further notices or communications shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

ILG hereby represents and warrants or covenants and agrees, as appropriate, that the facts presented and the representations made in the Tax Materials, with the consent of ILG, to the extent descriptive of the ILG Group at any time (including the plans, proposals, intentions and policies of the ILG Group at any time) are, or will be from the time presented or made through and including the Effective Time (and thereafter as relevant), true, correct and complete in all respects.

(b) Starwood. Starwood hereby represents and warrants or covenants and agrees, as appropriate, that (i) it has, to the extent available, delivered or will deliver complete and accurate copies of the Tax Materials to Vistana and ILG and (ii) the facts presented and the representations made therein, to the extent descriptive of (A) the Starwood Group at any time or (B) the Vistana Group at any time at or prior to the Effective Time (including, in each case, (x) the business purposes for the Distribution described in the Tax Materials to the extent that they relate to the Starwood Group at any time or the Vistana Group at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, and (y) the plans, proposals, intentions and policies of the Starwood Group at any time or the Vistana Group at any time at or prior to the Effective Time), are, or will be from the time presented or made through and including the Effective Time (and thereafter as relevant) true, correct and complete in all respects.

(c) No Contrary Plan. Each of Starwood and Vistana represents and warrants that neither it, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has any plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Tax Materials.

Section 6.02 Restrictions Relating to the Distribution.

(a) General. Vistana shall not, and shall not permit, any Vistana Entity to take or fail to take, as applicable, any action that constitutes a Vistana Disqualifying Action.

(b) Restrictions. Prior to the first day following the second anniversary of the Distribution (the “Restriction Period”), Vistana:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct of the Vistana Business (as defined in Section 355(b)(2) of the Code), taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code;

(ii) shall not dissolve or liquidate itself or any Vistana Entity (including any action that is a liquidation for federal Income Tax purposes);

(iii) shall not and shall not permit any Vistana Entity to (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Vistana has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through a Subsidiary) any stock, or rights to acquire stock, other than repurchases satisfying the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30, 1996-1 C.B. 696 (as in effect prior to the release of Revenue Procedure 2003-48, 2003-2 C.B. 86), (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate with any other Person (other than pursuant to the Merger) or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with, or cause to be untrue, any information, statement, representation, undertaking or covenant made in the Tax Materials) which in the aggregate (and taking into account the Merger and any other transactions described in this Section 6.02(b)(iii)) would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in ownership of Vistana capital stock pertinent for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code (including the Merger), have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Vistana or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve the Intended Tax Treatment; and

(iv) shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Vistana Group, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for federal Income Tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the consolidated gross assets of Vistana or the Vistana Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (1) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business, (2) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (3) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for federal Income Tax purposes or (4) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Vistana or any member of the Vistana Group. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Vistana or the Vistana Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of Vistana and the members of the Vistana Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 6.02(b)(iv), a merger of Vistana or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of Vistana or ILG shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of Vistana or such Subsidiary.

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 6.02(b), during the Restriction Period, Vistana may proceed with any of the actions or transactions described therein, if (i) Vistana shall first have requested Starwood to obtain a ruling in accordance with Section 6.03(a) to the effect that such action or transaction will not affect the Intended Tax Treatment and Starwood shall have received such a ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, (ii) Vistana shall have provided to Starwood an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Starwood, or (iii) Starwood shall have waived in writing the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. For the avoidance of doubt, the presence of a ruling, an Unqualified Tax Opinion or a waiver from Starwood shall not relieve Vistana from indemnification obligations otherwise present under Article III of this Agreement. In determining whether a ruling or opinion is satisfactory, Starwood may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations or covenants used as a basis for the ruling or opinion and the views on the substantive merits.

(d) Tax Reporting. Each of Starwood and Vistana covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to refrain from taking, any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

(e) For the avoidance of the doubt, notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.02, (i) Vistana shall be permitted to enter into the Merger and (ii) Vistana may adopt or modify a shareholder rights plan (and issue stock in accordance therewith) that is described in or similar to the shareholder rights plan described in Revenue Ruling 90-11, 1990-1 C.B. 10.

Section 6.03 Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings.

(a) If Vistana notifies Starwood that it desires to take one of the actions described in Section 6.02(b) (a “Notified Action”), Starwood shall cooperate with Vistana and use its reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain a ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting Vistana to take the Notified Action unless Starwood shall have waived the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. If such a ruling is to be sought, Starwood shall apply for such ruling and Starwood and Vistana shall jointly control the process of obtaining such ruling. In no event shall Starwood be required to file any ruling request under this Section 6.03(a) unless Vistana represents that (i) it has read such ruling request, (ii) agrees to all representations contained in such ruling request and (iii) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the Vistana Group, contained in such ruling request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. Vistana shall reimburse Starwood for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Starwood Group in obtaining or seeking to obtain a ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Vistana within ten (10) days after receiving an invoice from Starwood therefor.

(b) Starwood shall have the right to obtain a ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Starwood determines to obtain such ruling or opinion, Vistana shall (and shall cause each Vistana Entity to) cooperate with Starwood and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Starwood in connection with obtaining such ruling or opinion (including by making any representation or reasonable covenant or providing any materials requested by the IRS or the law firm issuing such opinion); provided,

that Vistana shall not be required to make (or cause a Vistana Entity to make) any representation or covenant that is untrue or inconsistent with historical facts, or as to future matters or events over which it has no control. In connection with obtaining such ruling, Starwood shall apply for such ruling and shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining such ruling. Starwood shall reimburse Vistana for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Vistana Group in cooperating with Starwood’s efforts to obtain a ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion within ten (10) days after receiving an invoice from Vistana therefor.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.03(a) and (b), following the Effective Time, neither Vistana nor any Vistana Subsidiary shall seek any guidance from, initiate any communication with, the IRS or any other Taxing Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Contribution, the Distribution or the Restructuring (including the impact of any transaction on the Contribution, the Distribution or the Restructuring) without the prior approval of Starwood (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

COOPERATION

Section 7.01 General Cooperation.

(a) The Parties shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to cooperate fully) with all reasonable requests in writing (“Information Request”) from another Party hereto, or from an agent, representative or advisor to such Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for Refunds, Tax Proceedings, and calculations of amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection with Taxes of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries covered by this Agreement and the establishment of any reserve required in connection with any financial reporting (a “Tax Matter”).

(c) The Parties shall perform all actions required or permitted under this Agreement in good faith. If one Party requests the cooperation of the other Party pursuant to this Section 7.01 or any other provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the requesting Party shall reimburse such other Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such other Party in complying with the requesting Party’s request.

Upon the expiration of the Retention Period, the foregoing information may be destroyed or disposed of by the Party retaining such documentation or other information unless the other Party otherwise requests in writing before the expiration of the Retention Period. In such case, the Party retaining such documentation or other information shall deliver such materials to the other Party or continue to retain such materials, in either case at the expense of such other Party.

ARTICLE II

SERVICES

Section 2.1 Provision of Services.

(a) Provider shall provide to Recipient the Services in accordance with the terms, fees, limitations and conditions set forth herein and on Schedule A. Starwood hereby represents

and warrants as of the date hereof that Provider has not changed the level of services provided by Provider in respect of the Vistana Business since October 27, 2015 in a manner that reduced the level or quality of Services provided to Recipient under this Agreement.

(b) During the ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, in the event that Buyer identifies in writing to Starwood any services not referenced on Schedule A that were provided by Provider in respect of the Vistana Business during the Reference Period and that are reasonably necessary to operate the Vistana Business in the manner conducted as of the Effective Date (“Omitted Services”), the Parties will promptly negotiate in good faith the terms governing any such Omitted Service with respect to (i) the nature and description of such Omitted Service, which shall be consistent with the descriptions of the Services set forth on Schedule A (to the extent applicable to such Omitted Service), (ii) the duration such Omitted Service will be provided, which shall not be longer than the term of this Agreement and (iii) the fees for such Omitted Service, which shall be set in the same manner as for the other Services. In the event the Parties agree to such terms, the Parties will enter into an amendment to this Agreement amending Schedule A to reflect such Omitted Service, and such Omitted Service shall be deemed to be part of this Agreement and shall be deemed one of the “Services” hereunder from and after the date of such amendment. Starwood shall have no obligation to consider any requests for services not listed on Schedule A at any time after ninety (90) days after the Effective Date.

(c) Provider and Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain in a cost effective manner any necessary waivers, permits, consents or similar approvals with respect to agreements with third parties in order for Provider to provide the Services directly or indirectly (other than the Omitted Services) (any such waiver, permit, consent or similar approval, a “Consent”). If after using commercially reasonable efforts, Provider and Recipient are unable to obtain any Consent, the Parties shall work together to agree upon, identify and implement an alternative arrangement in a cost effective manner. Any license fees, royalties or other fees, costs or expenses to third parties that may be necessary for Provider to obtain Consents in a cost effective manner or for Provider to perform, or for Recipient to receive, the Services will be borne equally by the Recipient and Provider, and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Provider in connection with the implementation of any such alternative arrangements in a cost effective manner shall be borne by Recipient, provided, that Provider and Recipient shall be equally responsible for the amount by which the cost of such alternative arrangement exceeds the amount that Recipient would have paid pursuant to Schedule A, as of the Effective Date, for the applicable Service. As long as Provider otherwise complies with this Section 2.1(c), failure to obtain any Consent, and any resulting failure to provide Services hereunder, shall not be deemed a breach hereof.

(d) Recipient shall be responsible for planning and preparing the transition of the provision of each of the Services to its own internal organization or other third-party service providers, and shall prepare, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (“Migration Planning Period”), a plan in order to transition off of each Service by the end of the term for such Service (“Migration Plan”); provided, however, that Recipient will not be deemed to have violated its obligations with respect to preparation of the Migration Plan if Recipient (i) fails to complete the Migration Plan within the Migration Planning Period, (ii) has been working, and thereafter continues to work, in good faith and without undue delay to expeditiously prepare the Migration Plan and (iii) completes the Migration Plan no later than sixty (60) days after the

Effective Date. At Recipient’s request, Provider shall reasonably assist, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any third-party provider of Services to reasonably assist, Recipient in connection with the implementation of Recipient’s transition plan (“Migration Services”), taking into account the need to minimize the cost of such migration and the disruption to the ongoing business activities of the Parties and their Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, Migration Services shall not include any services that, in Provider’s commercially reasonable opinion, do not primarily effect the separation of Recipient from the Services.

Section 2.2 Cooperation; Access. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Provider and Recipient agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services. Each Provider and Recipient shall, and shall cause any applicable Affiliates to, make available on a timely basis to the other information and materials requested to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing or receiving the Services.

Section 2.3 Books and Records. Provider shall keep books and records relating to the provision of the Services in a manner consistent with how such books and records were kept by Provider with respect to the Vistana Business as of the Effective Date, subject to Provider’s records retention policies (as such policies may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time). To the extent reasonably necessary for Recipient to conduct the Vistana Business as conducted as of the Effective Date, Provider shall make such books and records in electronic or paper form available to Recipient, at the cost of Recipient (i) upon reasonable written notice (but no more often than once each calendar quarter), during normal business hours, (ii) subject to reasonably imposed security procedures and limitations and (iii) subject to compliance with Section 8.3 (Effect of Termination).

Section 2.4 Service Quality.

(a) Provider will provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance with Provider’s standard policies, procedures and practices in effect with respect to the Vistana Business as of the Effective Date, as the same may be changed from time to time. In providing the Services, Provider shall at all times exercise the same care and skill it exercises in performing like services for itself and other third parties, including franchisees. Recipient acknowledges that Provider is not in the business of providing the Services and is providing the Services to Recipient solely for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Provider shall have the right to shut down temporarily for routine scheduled maintenance purposes (which shall be substantially consistent with Provider’s operations and maintenance policies as of the Effective Date) the operation of the facilities, networks and/or systems providing any Service whenever in its judgment, reasonably exercised, such action is necessary; provided that Provider shall notify Recipient as much in advance as reasonably practicable under the circumstances that such shutdown is planned, and such shutdown shall take place outside normal business hours, or if not so possible, during a period that does not unduly and adversely affect Recipient’s operations to which the provision of such Service relates. In the event nonscheduled maintenance is reasonably necessary, Provider shall notify Recipient as much in advance as reasonably

practicable under the circumstances. Provider shall be relieved of its obligations to provide Services (and Recipient shall be relieved of its obligation to pay for such affected Service(s) to the extent such Services are not performed or have not already been performed by Provider) that require the use of such facilities, networks or systems only for the period of time that such facilities, networks and/or systems are so shut down but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize each period of shutdown for such purpose and to schedule such shutdown so as not to disrupt the conduct of the business of Recipient in the ordinary course. Provider shall consult with Recipient prior to temporary shutdowns to the extent reasonably practicable or, if not reasonably practicable, immediately thereafter in order to establish alternative sources for such Services. To the extent commercially reasonable, Provider will afford Recipient the benefit of any arrangements for substitute services that Provider makes on its own behalf.

(c) Provider shall maintain during the term of this Agreement its corporate level business continuity/disaster recovery plan (“Recovery Plan”), which plan shall prescribe actions to be taken with respect to continuation and recovery of any of Provider’s computer resources and network processes used to provide the Services. In the event of a business disaster with respect to Provider that disrupts any “mission critical” computer resources or network processes used to provide the Services, Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue and recover such computer resources and network processes within 24 hours from the occurrence of such business disaster causing a disruption in the Services, except that Provider’s Data Warehouse and StarwoodOne systems may require additional recovery times beyond such 24 hour window but in no event more than a commercially reasonable timeframe following the occurrence of such business disaster. For purposes hereof, “mission-critical” computer resources or network processes are those which if not operating, would cause the cessation of, or significant adverse impact upon, the Vistana Business.

(d) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN Section 2.4(c), THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE RELATING TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

Section 2.5 Uses of Services. Provider shall be required to provide Services only to Recipient in connection with Recipient’s operation of the Vistana Business substantially as conducted as of the Effective Date. Recipient shall not resell any Services to any Person whatsoever or permit the use of the Services by any Person other than its Affiliates in connection with Recipient’s operation of the Vistana Business.

Section 2.6 Location of Services. Provider will not be required to render any Service in a particular location that would necessitate that Provider obtain any permits or regulatory approvals, or qualify to do business, in any location or jurisdiction other than the locations and jurisdictions where Provider does business or conducted business as of the Effective Date. Provider shall obtain and maintain the permits and regulatory approvals required for providing the Services in good standing during the provision of the Services; provided, however that Recipient shall reimburse Provider for all of Provider’s out of pocket cost of maintaining such permits and regulatory approvals to the extent such costs are incurred for the purpose of providing the Services.

Section 2.7 No Violation of Laws or Third Party Contracts. Neither Provider nor any third-party service providers shall be required to provide all or any part of any particular Service to the extent that Provider determines in good faith, that providing such Service would require Provider or any third-party service provider to violate any Applicable Laws, or any agreement to which a Provider is a party or would otherwise conflict with the rights of any other party with respect thereto. In such case, Provider and Recipient shall work together to agree upon, identify and implement an alternative method of delivering such Service in a cost effective manner that does not violate any Applicable Laws or agreement or otherwise conflict with any third party rights. Any costs and expenses associated with such alternative method shall be borne by Recipient, provided, that Provider and Recipient shall be equally responsible for the amount by which the cost of such alternative arrangement exceeds the amount that Recipient would have paid pursuant to Schedule A, as of the Effective Date, for the applicable Service. As long as Provider otherwise complies with this Section 2.7, failure to arrange for an alternative method, and any resulting failure to provide Services hereunder, shall not be deemed a breach hereof.

Section 2.8 Provision of Services; Independent Contractor.

(a) Recipient acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to require that Provider perform the Services with specifically identified employees, provided, in all instances, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services using either the same employees that performed such duties as of the Effective Date, or employees of similar skill and qualification, to perform the duties assigned to them in connection with such Services.

(b) Provider shall act under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent, employee or joint venture counterparty of Recipient. All employees and representatives providing the Services shall be under the direction, control and supervision of Provider (and not of Recipient), and Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to such employees and representatives (including the right to select, hire, utilize and discharge such employees and representatives) and in no event shall such employees and representatives be deemed to be employees or agents of Recipient.

(c) Certain of the Services will require Recipient to make decisions based on recommendations made by Provider or consulting or advisory Services provided by Provider. Recipient shall be solely responsible for making all such decisions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Provider shall not be liable under this Agreement for (i) failing to provide or make available a Service as set forth herein if such failure was the result of personnel of Provider performing the Services in accordance with instructions provided by Recipient’s Functional Lead or designee of such Functional Lead (as previously identified by Recipient’s Functional Lead to a Starwood Functional Lead), (ii) the exercise of reasonable discretion and independent judgment in the provision of administrative Services (such as data entry, data management, processing requests and preparing and processing forms) or (iii) any decisions made by Recipient with respect to any consulting or advisory Services.

Section 2.9 Modification of Procedures.

(a) Provider shall be entitled to make changes from time to time in the manner in which it performs any of the Services; provided that (i) Provider has furnished Recipient notice (the same notice Provider provides its own business) thereof; (ii) Provider changes such practices and procedures for its own business units at the same time; and (iii) Provider gives Recipient a reasonable period of time for Recipient to (A) adapt its operations to accommodate such changes or (B) reject such changes. In the event Recipient fails to accept or reject a proposed change on or before a reasonable date specified in such notice of change, such failure shall be deemed to be an acceptance of such change. In the event Recipient rejects a proposed change but does not terminate this Agreement, Recipient agrees to pay any reasonable expenses resulting from Provider’s need to maintain different or multiple versions of the same system, procedures, technologies, or services or resulting from requirements of their third party vendors.

(b) In the event Recipient makes a change to its technology environment, software or hardware that renders Provider incapable of providing the Services or Recipient incapable of using the Services, Provider’s performance with respect to such affected Service(s) shall be excused, and Recipient shall be relieved of its obligation to pay for such affected Service(s) to the extent such Services are not performed or have not already been performed by Provider, until Recipient has modified its technology to correct the problem.

Section 2.10 No Transfer of Rights. Recipient acknowledges that it will acquire no right, title or interest (including any license rights or rights of use) in any firmware or software, and the licenses therefor which are held by Provider, by reason of the provision of the Services provided hereunder, except to the extent that any such license rights or rights of use are provided for in a written agreement signed by Provider and Recipient.

Section 2.11 Security.

(a) Provider and Recipient shall each maintain reasonable, current security measures (i) to prevent unauthorized access to its systems and (ii) with respect to all data contained in its facilities, networks and systems and used in connection with the Services. Such measures shall in no event be less stringent than those used to safeguard such party’s own property, or industry standard security measures used by companies of a similar size. Such measures shall include, where appropriate, use of updated firewalls, virus screening software, logon identification and passwords, encryption, intrusion detection systems, logging of incidents, periodic reporting, and prompt application of current security patches, virus definitions and other updates. Recipient shall not install any new equipment, software or technology or modify the setup of any existing equipment, software or technology that is, or will be, connected to Provider’s facilities, networks or systems without the prior consent of Provider.

(b) Provider may suspend Recipient’s access (if any) to the information technology or communications systems used by Recipient following advance written notice to the extent practicable if, in Provider’s reasonable opinion (i) the integrity, security or performance of its systems, or any data stored on them, is being or is likely to be jeopardized by the activities of Recipient, or (ii) continued access to those information technology or communications systems by Recipient would expose Provider to liability.

(c) Each Party reserves the right to terminate the Agreement, in its sole discretion and without limitation or termination liability, if the Recipient or Provider, as applicable, remains in breach of this Section 2.11 five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such breach. Provider and Recipient acknowledge that the security measures used by the other as of the Effective Date of this Agreement are in compliance with this Section.

Section 2.12 Personally Identifiable Information. Each party will comply with all applicable privacy and other laws and regulations relating to protection, collection, use, and distribution of Personally Identifiable Information. In no event may a party sell or transfer Personally Identifiable Information to third parties other than its Affiliates, or otherwise provide third parties other than its Affiliates with access thereto, except (i) as may be allowed pursuant to other written agreements between the Parties, or (ii) in the case of Provider, with any of its third-party service providers assisting Provider with the performance of the Services hereunder. If there is a suspected or actual breach of security involving Personally Identifiable Information, responsible party will notify the other party’s Privacy counsel within twenty four (24) hours of a management-level associate becoming aware of such occurrence.

ARTICLE III

FEES AND EXPENSES

Section 3.1 Service Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Recipient will pay Provider the fees for each Service specified on Schedule A, which fees are inclusive of an administrative service fee (the “Base Service Fees”); provided that the Base Service Fees for each Service shall be increased by five percent (5%) each year effective as of the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Base Service Fees, as may be adjusted in accordance with this Article III, together with the Migration Services Fees and any Omitted Services Fees, are referred to herein as the “Service Fees.”

(a) The Migration Services, and any assistance in the planning of such Migration Services, shall be provided to Recipient (i) at rates established using the methodology set forth on Schedule [ · ], and (ii) with respect to any Migration Services provided by any third-party service providers, at a cost equal to the actual out of pocket payments made by Provider or its Affiliates to such third-party service provider for performing such Services (the “Migration Services Fees”).

(b) Except to the extent otherwise set forth on Schedule A or Schedule [ · ], the Services Fees shall be exclusive of (and Recipient shall pay to Provider) any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred related to travel (including long-distance and local transportation, accommodation and meal expenses and other incidental expenses) by Provider’s personnel in connection with performing the Services.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Services to be performed by a third-party service provider shall be provided to Recipient at a cost equal to the actual out of pocket payments made by Provider or its Affiliates to such third-party service provider for performing such Services (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that such third party service provider may include a xxxx-up in what it charges to Provider and its Affiliates).

(d) Recipient shall be responsible for, and Provider shall not be required to use or advance its own funds for, any payment obligation of Recipient (including employee compensation payments, employee benefit payments and payments to fund checks issued or wire transfer payments made on behalf of Recipient).

(e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Service Fees for any Omitted Services will be determined by Provider on a pass-through, fully-burdened cost basis, with a fifteen percent (15%) xxxx-up, including the allocable cost of any Person performing such activities (the “Omitted Services Fees”).

(f) Any Extended Service shall be provided to Recipient at the adjusted Base Service Fee set forth on Schedule A for such extension.

Section 3.2 Payment. Recipient shall compensate Provider only for Services actually provided pursuant to this Agreement. Invoices will be rendered each month by Provider to Recipient for the Service Fee for Services delivered during the preceding month and for any other sums due under Sections 2.1,2.3, 3.3, 2.7, and 5.2 and Article IV. Each such invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of such Services and the amounts charged therefor. Recipient shall pay all invoiced amounts, which are not disputed, in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. If Recipient in good faith disputes an invoice, it must notify Provider in writing of the dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of the relevant invoice specifying in detail the reason why Recipient disputes the invoice. Any undisputed amounts not paid within such 30-day period shall be subject to interest from the due date until the date of payment, compounded monthly, at the Interest Rate. If Recipient disputes an invoiced amount in good faith and such amount is thereafter determined to be due and payable, then the foregoing late charges will apply retroactively to the original due date after which such disputed amounts became delinquent. Without limiting any of its other rights and remedies hereunder, Provider may suspend performance of any Services in the event that Recipient fails to timely pay any undisputed amounts due under this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after written notice of non-payment from Provider is received following the end of the 30-day period reflected in such notice. Recipient may not deduct, set-off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to it by Provider (on account of any obligation owed by Provider, whether or not such obligation has been finally adjudicated, settled or otherwise agreed upon in writing) against the fees or other amounts payable or expenses owed by such Recipient to Provider pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Taxes. Recipient shall pay all applicable federal, state, local or foreign Taxes (including sales, use, value-added, and other similar transaction-based Taxes), duties and tariffs and all other Taxes or charges imposed on the provision of the Services by Provider, except for taxes based on net income of Provider (collectively, “Sales Taxes”). If any such Sales Taxes are levied on Provider or deducted from amounts otherwise due to Provider hereunder, Recipient shall “gross up” the payments to Provider so that the net amount received by Provider is equal to the amount required to be paid to Provider hereunder. The amounts set forth for each Service on Schedule A do not include Sales Taxes and will be separately stated on the relevant invoice to Recipient. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Provider shall be solely responsible for remitting payment of all Sales Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of all Sales Taxes, Recipient shall not be obligated to pay such Sales Taxes if and to the extent that Recipient has provided valid

exemption certificates or other applicable documentation that would eliminate or reduce the obligation to collect and/or pay such Sales Taxes. Provider shall also be solely responsible for timely withholding and remitting to the applicable Governmental Authority any employment, income or other Taxes required to be withheld in respect of Provider’s employees related to the sale, performance, provision or delivery of Services.

Section 3.4 Regulatory Changes. If at any time after the Effective Date, any change in Applicable Law or other material unanticipated change in the operating environment of the Vistana Business materially increases (directly or indirectly) Provider’s cost of providing the Services, Provider shall notify Recipient of such increased cost and the Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith to adjust the Base Service Fees for each Service to accurately and fairly account for such increased cost to Provider.

ARTICLE IV

TERM OF SERVICES

Section 4.1 Term and Cancellation of Services. Each Service shall be provided during the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the last day such Service, as set forth on Schedule A, is required to be provided (with respect to each Service, the “Service Term”); provided, however, that Recipient may cancel any Service upon not less than one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice of cancellation to Provider, unless a different period is provided for on Schedule A for such Service; provided that Recipient reimburses Provider for any reasonable, out-of-pocket third party costs incurred to the extent resulting from the cancellation of such Service. For the avoidance of doubt, once Recipient has cancelled any Service, Recipient shall not be entitled to have such Service resumed pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 4.2 Extension of Term of Services. Specific Services identified on Schedule A may have their Service Term extended by Recipient for the maximum duration specified on Schedule A (an “Extended Service”). Recipient shall make requests for Extended Services in writing not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Service Term for such Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Provider in good faith determines the extension of any Service Term pursuant to this Section 4.2 will burden (financially or otherwise) Provider substantially more than anticipated on the Effective Date, Provider shall notify Recipient at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Service Term for that Service that Recipient cannot extend the Service Term for that Service. No other Services may be extended beyond their Service Term stated on Schedule A. All Extended Services are subject to (i) obtaining all Consents necessary for Provider to perform or Recipient to receive the Service beyond its original Service Term and (ii) any service limitations set forth in this Agreement. In no event shall any Services be provided beyond two (2) years after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE V

GOVERNANCE

Section 5.1 Project Leads; Functional Leads; Disputes.

(a) Starwood designates [ · ] as its lead administrative contact for purposes of this Agreement (the “Starwood TSA Project Lead”), and Buyer designates [ · ] as its lead administrative contact for purposes of this Agreement (the “Recipient TSA Project Lead” and, together with the Starwood TSA Project Lead, the “TSA Project Leads”). Either Party may change its TSA Project Lead upon written notice to the other Party. The TSA Project Leads shall meet regularly or as needed.

(b) The initial points of contact for Provider and Recipient with respect to any day-to-day matters about provision of a particular Service, including attempting to resolve any issues that may arise during the performance of such Service, shall be the functional team leaders designated in the “Contact Information” column opposite such Service on Schedule A, who shall have the authority to handle such daily operational matters related to the applicable Service (each such Person, a “Functional Lead”). Issues that cannot be resolved by the Functional Leads shall be escalated to the TSA Project Leads in accordance with this Section 5.1.

(c) Prior to initiating any legal action in accordance with Section 9.4, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Services or this Agreement (a “Dispute”) that cannot be resolved by the applicable Functional Leads after a reasonable period of time (taking into consideration the nature of the Dispute) shall be submitted first to the TSA Project Leads, and the TSA Project Leads shall seek to resolve such Dispute through informal good faith negotiation. In the event that any Dispute is not resolved by the TSA Project Leads within ten (10) Business Days after the claiming Party verbally notifies the other Party of the Dispute (during which time the TSA Project Leads shall meet in person or by telephone as often as reasonably necessary to attempt to resolve the Dispute), the TSA Project Leads shall escalate the Dispute to senior executive officers of each Party for resolution. In the event the senior executives fail to resolve the Dispute within an additional twenty (20) Business Days, then either Party may bring an action in accordance with Section 9.4 and Section 9.5 below to resolve the Dispute.

Section 5.2 Steering Committee. A steering committee (the “Steering Committee”) comprised of the TSA Project Leads, a finance executive from each Party (the “Finance Officers”) and corporate counsel from each Party (the “Legal Officers”) will have overall responsibility for oversight, administration and issue resolution relating to the performance and migration of Services under this Agreement. The Starwood Finance Officer will be responsible for gathering data required to calculate variable transition service costs, generating monthly invoices, monitoring receipt of payments, and monitoring stranded costs. Both Finance Officers will liaise with the TSA Project Leads and Functional Leads and the Legal Officers to suggest modifications to services or their costs (as necessary). The Legal Officers will adjust the schedule of Services to reflect changes in scope (as necessary) and oversee any litigation matters for their respective Parties not resolved through the dispute resolution process of this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Meetings. The key governance personnel will meet in person or by video or teleconference in accordance with the meeting cadence set forth on Exhibit 5.3.

Section 5.4 Audit Rights.

(a) Compliance Audits by Provider. Upon notice from Provider, Recipient shall provide Provider, its auditors (including internal audit staff and external auditors), inspectors, regulators and other reasonably designated representatives as Provider may from time to time designate in writing (collectively, the “Starwood Auditors”) with access to, at reasonable times, any Recipient facility or part of a facility at which Recipient is using the Services, Recipient personnel, and data and records relating to the Services for purposes of verifying compliance with this Agreement. Provider audits may include security reviews (including Recipient’s completion of security related questionnaires) of the Services and Recipient’s systems, including reasonable use of automated scanning tools such as network scanners, port scanners, and web inspection tools. Recipient will provide any assistance that Starwood Auditors may reasonably require with respect to such audits. Upon notice from Recipient, Provider shall provide Recipient and its auditors with access to, at reasonable times, books and records relating to the Services or this Agreement in order for Recipient to comply with Applicable Laws.

(b) Audits by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right, upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Provider, and in a manner to avoid unreasonable interruption to Provider’s business, to perform audit procedures over Provider’s internal controls and procedures for the Services provided by Provider under this Agreement; provided that, such audit right shall exist solely to the extent required by Buyer’s external auditors to ensure Buyer’s compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, to determine if Buyer’s financial statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), to verify third-party expenses or to the extent required by any Governmental Authority. Provider shall provide Buyer and Buyer’s auditors with appropriate space, furnishings, and telephone, facsimile and photocopy equipment as Buyer or Buyer’s auditors may reasonably require to perform such audit procedures. Provider shall consider in good faith, but shall not be obligated to make, changes to its controls and procedures to address any findings of such audits. Buyer shall pay or reimburse all of Provider’s incremental costs arising from all such audit-related activities, provision of space, furnishings and equipment, and analysis and implementation, if any, of any potential changes in Provider’s controls or procedures described in this Section 5.4(b).

(c) Audit Reports. Buyer shall be entitled to request, upon reasonable notice to Provider, and Provider shall provide a copy of its most recent SSAE 16 audit report, if any, performed by Provider, or Provider’s auditors, at the same cost as Starwood or its Affiliates charge its hotel franchisees.

ARTICLE VI

FORCE MAJEURE

Section 6.1 Force Majeure Event. Provider shall not be liable for any interruption, delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement when such interruption, delay or failure results from causes beyond its reasonable control (or beyond the reasonable control of any Person acting on its behalf), including any strikes, lockouts, acts of any Governmental Authority, riot, insurrection or other hostilities, acts of the public enemy or terrorism, embargo, fuel or energy shortage, fire, flood, earthquake, tsunami, or acts of God (any such event, a “Force Majeure Event”). In the event of a Force Majeure Event, Provider’s affected obligations hereunder shall be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account thereof. For the duration of such suspension or delay, no fees or expenses

shall be incurred by Recipient for Services that are suspended or delayed, and Recipient shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain replacement services for the duration of the Force Majeure Event from a third-party service provider at Recipient’s expense.

Section 6.2 Consequences of Force Majeure Event. Provider shall notify Recipient as soon as reasonably practicable upon learning of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event. If the Force Majeure Event causes a material failure or delay in the provision of Services by Provider hereunder, (a) Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts, which efforts shall include carrying out the actions set forth in the Recovery Plan, if such actions are applicable to such Force Majeure event, to remove such Force Majeure Event as soon as and to the extent reasonably and practicably possible, (b) Provider will treat Recipient substantially the same as any other internal or external service recipient (including franchisees) in connection with the restoration of the affected Services, if any, and (c) at the option of Recipient, the term and all additional payments owed in respect of any affected Service shall be tolled to the extent such Services are not provided or have not already been provided by Provider, until such Service is resumed in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.4(a). Upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume its performance of any affected Service in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.4(a) with the least possible delay. If any Service is interrupted or suspended for more than ten (10) consecutive days, Recipient may terminate the affected Service (including any obligation to pay for such Service), in whole or in part, upon written notice to Provider.

ARTICLE VII

LIABILITIES

Section 7.1 Limitations of Liability. With regard to any and all damages, fines, penalties, deficiencies, losses, liabilities (including settlements and judgments) and expenses (including interest, court costs, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts and professionals or other reasonable fees and expenses of litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of a breach of Provider’s obligations in connection with the provision of Services under this Agreement, other than Losses arising as a result of the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Provider or covered under a Provider indemnity under Section 7.2, Provider’s sole liability for such Losses shall be to use reasonable commercial efforts to re-perform, or cause its contractors to re-perform, such Services. Recipient shall promptly advise Provider of any such breach of which it becomes aware.

Section 7.2 Indemnity.

(a) Recipient agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Provider and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from any Losses resulting from Third Party Claims arising hereunder from (i) Recipient’s breach of its obligations with respect to Provider’s Information under this Agreement, (ii) Recipient’s violation of Applicable Laws, (iii) Recipient’s failure to comply with any applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and any other credit card company specific security requirements (collectively, “Credit Card Company Regulations”) (iv) the infringement by Recipient of a third party’s intellectual property rights, or (v) Recipient’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) Provider agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Recipient and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from any Losses resulting from Third Party Claims arising hereunder from (i) Provider’s breach of its obligations with respect to Recipient’s Information under this Agreement, (ii) Provider’s violation of Applicable Laws, (iii) Provider’s failure to comply with any applicable Credit Card Company Regulations, (iv) the infringement by Provider of a third party’s intellectual property rights, or (v) Provider’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) EXCEPT FOR ITS OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 7.2(A) OR SECTION 7.2(B) ABOVE, AS APPLICABLE, EACH OF PROVIDER AND RECIPIENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR LOSS OF DATA, OR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES ARE AWARDED AND REQUIRED TO BE PAID BY AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON TO A THIRD PARTY PURSUANT TO AN ORDER OF A GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY.

(d) The party required to indemnify pursuant to this Article (the “Indemnitor”), upon demand by a party (“Indemnitee”), at Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim (in the Indemnitee’s name, if necessary), using such attorneys as the Indemnitee shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable opinion, there exists a conflict of interest which would make it inadvisable to be represented by counsel for the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall jointly select acceptable attorneys, and the Indemnitor shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys.

(e) No right of indemnification shall exist under this Agreement with respect to matters for which indemnification may reasonably be claimed under the Merger Agreement, it being the intent of the Parties that claims that are addressed under the Merger Agreement shall be governed solely by the Merger Agreement. No right of indemnification shall exist under the Merger Agreement for claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement, it being the intent of the Parties that such claims shall be solely governed by the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim for indemnification made under this Agreement shall be denied solely based on the preceding two sentences if such claim was initially brought under the Merger Agreement and denied because the subject matter of such claim was reasonably believed to be covered under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, and except for the preceding sentence, none of the indemnifications provided in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to limit, or otherwise impair a Party’s right to indemnification under any provision of the Merger Agreement.

Section 7.3 Entire Obligation. The foregoing provisions of this Article VII set forth the full extent of the parties’ liability (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement for any and all Losses.

ARTICLE VIII

In the event of a termination or expiration of this Agreement, Provider shall be entitled to all outstanding amounts due from Recipient for the provision of Services rendered prior to the date of termination or expiration. Upon termination, cancellation or expiration of any Service in accordance with this Agreement, Provider will have no further obligation to provide such terminated, cancelled or expired Service.

Each Provider and Recipient shall keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, except as may be necessary to comply with Applicable Law (including the rules of any stock exchange) or any financial reporting obligations or except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

(c) If the Receiving Party is requested to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, or to a regulatory authority or under other operation of Applicable Law, it will not be in breach of this Section 9.3 to make such disclosure; provided that the Receiving Party (i) promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing prior to making any such disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with this Section 9.3, and (ii) if the Disclosing Party is not successful in precluding the requesting legal body from requiring the disclosure of its Information, limits disclosures to the portion of Information specifically required to be disclosed and exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that the Information will be accorded confidential treatment.
