NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions; Interpretation. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Third Amended and Restated Standard Definitions (the “Standard Definitions”) attached as Annex A to that certain third amended and restated indenture, dated as of August 31, 2010, by and among Diamond Resorts Issuer 2008 LLC as issuer, Diamond Resorts Financial Services, Inc. as servicer, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch as agent and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association as indenture trustee, custodian and back-up servicer (the “Indenture”). To the extent that the Standard Definitions attached to the Indenture are further amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, such amended Standard Definitions shall apply to and be incorporated in this Agreement by reference as though attached hereto.

SECTION 2. Acquisition of Timeshare Loans.

(a) Timeshare Loans. On each Funding Date or Transfer Date, as the case may be, in return for the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each Timeshare Loan to be sold on such Funding Date, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign and grant to the Depositor, without recourse (except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to: (i) each Timeshare Loan listed on the related Borrowing Notice, (ii) the Receivables in respect of such Timeshare Loans due after the related Cut-Off Date, (iii) the related Timeshare Loan Documents, (iv) all Related Security in respect of each such Timeshare Loan, (v) the rights and remedies of the Seller under the distribution and assignment agreements, contribution and assignment agreements and such other assignments, bills of sale and other transfer documents executed and delivered in connection with the sale and transfer of such Timeshare Loans, and (vi) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits and rights related to any of the foregoing (the property described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) being referred to as the “Conveyed Timeshare Property”). Upon such sale, the ownership of each such Timeshare Loan and all collections allocable to principal and interest thereon due after the related Cut-Off Date and all other property interests or rights conveyed pursuant to and referenced in this Section 2(a) shall immediately vest in the Depositor, its successors and assigns. The Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor claim any ownership interest in any Timeshare Loan for any purpose whatsoever other than for consolidated financial and federal and state income tax reporting.

(b) Delivery of Timeshare Loan Documents. In connection with the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Timeshare Loans hereunder, the Depositor hereby directs the Seller and the Seller hereby agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered, at least five Business Days prior to each Funding Date or Transfer Date, as the case may be, to the Custodian or the In-Transit Custodian, as the case may be, all related Timeshare Loan Files and to the Servicer all related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files.

(c) Collections. The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all collections in respect of Timeshare Loans conveyed hereunder that are received by it on or after the related Cut-Off Date in the Collection Account.

(d) No Further Obligations. Based on the Seller’s representation and warranty in clause (oo) of Schedule I, neither the Depositor nor any subsequent assignee of the Depositor shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Timeshare Loan nor shall the Depositor or any subsequent assignee have any liability to any Obligor in respect of any Timeshare Loan. It is the intention of the parties hereto that no such obligation or liability is being assumed by the Depositor or any subsequent assignee herewith and any such obligation or liability is hereby expressly disclaimed.

SECTION 3. Intended Characterization; Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Timeshare Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute a sale by the Seller to the Depositor and not a loan secured by such Timeshare Loans. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that any such transfer constitutes a loan and not a sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have Granted and does hereby Grant to the Depositor as of the date

hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the Conveyed Timeshare Property specified in Section 2 hereof and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the event of the characterization of any such transfer as a loan, the amount of interest payable or paid with respect to such loan under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable state law or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum non-usurious rate that preempts such applicable state law, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any such loan exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the parties hereto stipulate that: (a) to the extent possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount previously paid or to be paid with respect to such loan be applied to reduce the principal balance of such loan, and the provisions thereof immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder and (b) to the extent that the reduction of the principal balance of, and the amounts collectible under, such loan and the reformation of the provisions thereof described in the immediately preceding clause (a) is not possible given the term of such loan, such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid with respect to such loan as a result of an error and upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof by any party hereto such amount shall be refunded by the recipient thereof.

The characterization of the Seller as “debtor” and the Depositor as “secured party” in any financing statement required hereunder is solely for protective purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this transaction be treated as a sale to the Depositor of the Seller’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Timeshare Property.

SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent to Acquisition of Timeshare Loans. The obligations of the Depositor to purchase any Timeshare Loans hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) With respect to the Initial Funding Date, all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 5 hereof and all information provided in the Schedule of Timeshare Loans attached hereto as Exhibit A shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, and the Seller shall have delivered to the Depositor an Officer’s Certificate to such effect.

(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, a Funding Date or a Transfer Date, as the case may be, the Seller shall have delivered or shall have caused the delivery of (i) in the case of Eligible Timeshare Loans (other than Eligible In-Transit Loans) the related Timeshare Loan Files to the Custodian and the Custodian shall have delivered a Trust Receipt therefor pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, (ii) in the case of Eligible In-Transit Loans, the related Timeshare Loan Files to the In-Transit Custodian, and the In-Transit Custodian shall have delivered an In-Transit Trust Receipt therefor pursuant to the In-Transit Custodial Agreement, (iii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Servicer, (iv) an updated Schedule of Timeshare Loans to the Custodian, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent, and (v) an updated Schedule of Eligible In-Transit Loans to the In-Transit Custodian, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent.

(d) Each transfer, assignment, sale and grant shall be evidenced by a transfer certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered all other information theretofore required or reasonably requested by the Depositor to be delivered by the Seller or performed or caused to be performed all other obligations required to be performed as of the Closing Date, Funding Date or Transfer Date, as the case may be, including all filings, recordings and/or registrations as may be necessary in the opinion of the Depositor to establish and preserve the right, title and interest of the Depositor in the related Timeshare Loans.

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants of the Seller.

(a) The Seller represents and warrants to the Depositor as of the Amendment Closing Date and on each Funding Date and Transfer Date (with respect to any Timeshare Loans or Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans transferred on such Funding Date or Transfer Date) as follows:

(i) Due Incorporation; Valid Existence; Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified will not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of any portion of the Conveyed Timeshare Property.

(ii) Possession of Licenses, Certificates, Franchises and Permits. The Seller holds, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will hold, all material licenses, certificates, franchises and permits from all governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its business, and has received no notice of proceedings relating to the revocation of any such license, certificate, franchise or permit, which singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or the validity or enforceability of the Conveyed Timeshare Property.

(iii) Corporate Authority and Power. The Seller has, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will have, all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business, to execute and deliver this Agreement and all documents and transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder. The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to acquire, own, transfer and convey the Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Depositor.

(iv) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Valid and Binding. This Agreement and all other Transaction Documents and instruments required or contemplated hereby to be executed and delivered by the Seller have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming the due execution and delivery by, the other party or parties hereto and thereto, constitute legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally applicable in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Seller and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. This Agreement constitutes a valid transfer of the Seller’s interest in the Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Depositor or the valid creation of a first

priority perfected security interest in the Conveyed Timeshare Property in favor of the Depositor.

(v) No Violation of Law, Rule, Regulation, etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party do not and will not (A) violate any of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, (B) violate any provision of any law, governmental rule or regulation currently in effect applicable to the Seller or its properties or by which the Seller or its properties may be bound or affected, including, without limitation, any bulk transfer laws, (C) violate any judgment, decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order currently in effect applicable to the Seller or its properties or by which the Seller or its properties are bound or affected, (D) conflict with, or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound or (E) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument.

(vi) Governmental Consent. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or other Governmental Authority in respect of the Seller is required which has not been obtained in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or under the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer of the Conveyed Timeshare Property and the creation of the security interest of the Depositor therein pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

(vii) Defaults. The Seller is not in default under any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which the Seller is a party or by which it or its properties is or are bound, or with respect to any order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body, in each case, which would have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereunder or on the business, operations, financial condition or assets of the Seller, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default with respect to any such agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, or with respect to any such order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body.

(viii) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the end of Diamond Resorts Corporation’s most recent, audited fiscal year, there has been no Material Adverse Effect with respect to any Diamond Resorts Entity.

(ix) Insolvency. The Seller will be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Conveyed Timeshare Property hereunder. On the Amendment Closing Date, or a Funding

Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, the Seller will not engage in any business or transaction for which any property remaining with the Seller would constitute an unreasonably small amount of capital.

(x) Pending Litigation or Other Proceedings. There is no pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body against or affecting the Seller which, if decided adversely, would materially and adversely affect (A) the condition (financial or otherwise), business or operations of the Seller, (B) the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, (C) any of the Conveyed Timeshare Property or title of the Seller to any of the Conveyed Timeshare Property, or (D) the Depositor’s or the Indenture Trustee’s ability to foreclose or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to any of the Conveyed Timeshare Property, including without limitation the right to revoke or otherwise terminate the Right-to-Use Agreements and related Right-to-Use Interests, and the rights of the Obligors to use and occupy the related Timeshare Interest.

(xi) Information. No document, certificate or report furnished or required to be furnished by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, in its capacity as the Seller, contains or will contain when furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or fails, or will fail, to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. There are no facts known to the Seller which, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect, or which (aside from general economic trends) may reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect in the future, the financial condition or assets or business of the Seller, or which may impair the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, which have not been disclosed herein or therein or in the certificates and other documents furnished to the Depositor by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant hereto or thereto specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(xii) Foreign Tax Liability. The Seller is not aware of any Obligor under a Timeshare Loan who has withheld any portion of payments due under such Timeshare Loan because of the requirements of a foreign taxing authority, and no foreign taxing authority has contacted the Seller concerning a withholding or other foreign tax liability.

(xiii) Employee Benefit Plan Liability. As of the Amendment Closing Date and each Funding Date and Transfer Date, as applicable, (i) no “accumulated funding deficiency” (as such term is defined under ERISA and the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any “employee pension benefit plan” (as such term is defined under ERISA) sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any plan year beginning prior to January 1, 2010, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no event has

occurred or circumstance exists that may result in an accumulated funding deficiency as of the last day of any plan year beginning prior to January 1, 2010; (ii) no unpaid “minimum required contribution” (as such term is defined under ERISA and the Code), whether or not such funding deficiency is waived, exists with respect to any employee pension benefit plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to any plan year beginning after December 31, 2009, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in an unpaid minimum required contribution as of the last day of the plan year beginning after December 31, 2009 of any such plan; (iii) the Seller and each of its Affiliates has made all contributions required under each multiemployer plan (as such term is defined under ERISA) to which the Seller or any of its Affiliates contributes or in which the Seller or any of its Affiliates participates (a “Seller Multiemployer Plan”); and (iv) neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates has withdrawn from any Seller Multiemployer Plan with respect to which there is any outstanding liability and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that presents a risk of the occurrence of any withdrawal from, or the partition, termination, reorganization or insolvency of, any Seller Multiemployer Plan that could result in any liability to the Seller.

(xiv) Taxes. The Seller has filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) which it reasonably believes are required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges due from the Seller or is contesting any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge in good faith through appropriate proceedings or such failure will not have a material adverse effect on the rights and interests of the Depositor. The Seller knows of no basis for any material additional tax assessment for any fiscal year for which adequate reserves have not been established. The Seller intends to pay all such taxes, assessments and governmental charges when due.

(xv) Place of Business. The place of business where the Servicer on behalf of the Seller keeps its records concerning the Timeshare Loans will be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other place specified by the Seller by written notice to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee). The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller is located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other place specified by the Seller by written notice to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee).

(xvi) Securities Laws. The Seller is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No portion of the Timeshare Loan Acquisition Price for each of the Timeshare Loans will be used by the Seller to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13 or Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(xvii) Ownership of the Seller. One hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Seller is directly owned (both beneficially and of record) by Diamond Resorts Corporation, a Maryland corporation. Such capital stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire membership interests from the Seller.

(b) The Seller hereby: (i) represents and warrants that immediately prior to the transfer of any Timeshare Loan to the Depositor, the Seller had full legal and equitable title to such Timeshare Loan, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, and (ii) makes the representations and warranties contained in Schedule I hereto with respect to each Timeshare Loan, and certain limited representations and warranties contained in Schedule II hereto with respect to the Resorts, such representations and warranties in both clauses (i) and (ii) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Agent with respect to each Timeshare Loan and certain Resorts as of the Closing Date, each Funding Date and each Transfer Date (with respect to the Timeshare Loans and the Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans transferred on such Funding Date or Transfer Date), as applicable.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of any Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Depositor and any assignment of such Conveyed Timeshare Property by the Depositor to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall continue until the Notes are paid in full or otherwise released or discharged. The Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that the Depositor intends to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Timeshare Property and its rights and remedies under this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Seller agrees that, upon any such assignment, the Indenture Trustee may enforce directly, without joinder of the Depositor (but subject to any defense that the Seller may have under this Agreement) all rights and remedies hereunder.

(d) With respect to any representations and warranties contained in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) hereof, which are made to the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered that any representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Depositor or any assignee thereof, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge of the accuracy of such representation and warranty at the time such representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of such representation or warranty for purposes of the repurchase or substitution obligations described herein.

SECTION 6. Repurchases and Substitutions.

(a) Mandatory Repurchase and Substitution for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon the receipt of notice by the Seller of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof which materially and adversely affects the value of a Timeshare Loan or the interests of the Depositor or any subsequent assignee of the Depositor (including the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders) therein, the Seller shall within 30 days of such notice,

cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition which has caused such representation or warranty to be incorrect or either: (i) repurchase such Timeshare Loan at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans for such Timeshare Loan and pay the related Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any; provided, that to the extent an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller shall use its best efforts to repurchase each Timeshare Loan instead of replacing such Timeshare Loan.

(b) Deliberately Omitted.

(d) Payment of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts. The Depositor hereby directs and the Seller hereby agrees to remit all amounts in respect of Repurchase Prices and Substitution Shortfall Amounts in immediately available funds to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that more than one Timeshare Loan is substituted pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof on any Transfer Date, the Substitution Shortfall Amounts and the Loan Balances of Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all substitutions made on such Transfer Date.

(e) Schedule of Timeshare Loans. The Depositor hereby directs, and the Seller hereby agrees, on each date on which a Timeshare Loan has been repurchased, purchased or substituted, to provide the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee with a revised Schedule of Timeshare Loans reflecting the removal and/or substitution of such Timeshare Loans and subjecting any Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans to the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) Officer’s Certificate for Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans. The Seller shall, on each Transfer Date, certify in writing to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee that each new Timeshare Loan meets all the criteria of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan” and that (i) the Timeshare Loan Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Custodian and (ii) the Timeshare Loan Servicing Files for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loans have been delivered to the Servicer.

(g) Release. In connection with any repurchase, purchase or substitution of one or more Timeshare Loans contemplated by this Section 6, upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Section 6, the Depositor shall execute and deliver such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment presented to it by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such Timeshare Loans, provided, however, that with respect to any release of a Timeshare Loan that is substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Depositor shall not execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such releases and instruments of transfer or assignment until the Agent and the Servicer receive a Trust Receipt or an In-Transit Trust Receipt, as the case may be, for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan. The Depositor shall cause the Custodian or the In-Transit Custodian, as the case may be, to release the related Timeshare Loan Files to the

Seller or its designee and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan Servicing Files to the Seller or its designee; provided, however, that with respect to any Timeshare Loan File or Timeshare Loan Servicing File related to a Timeshare Loan that has been substituted by a Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan, the Depositor shall not cause the Custodian or the In-Transit Custodian, as the case may be, and the Servicer to release the related Timeshare Loan File and the Timeshare Loan Servicing File, respectively, until the Agent and the Servicer receive a Trust Receipt or an In-Transit Trust Receipt, as the case may be, for such Qualified Substitute Timeshare Loan.

(h) Sole Remedy. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller to repurchase or substitute Timeshare Loans contained in Section 6(a) hereof and the obligation of the Seller to indemnify pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall constitute the sole remedies for the breaches of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof.

SECTION 7. Additional Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Depositor as follows:

(a) The Seller shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it and its business and properties.

(b) The Seller shall preserve and maintain its existence (corporate or otherwise), rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its organization and, if applicable, all necessary sales finance company licenses.

(c) On or prior to each Funding Date or a Transfer Date, as applicable, the Seller shall indicate in its computer files and other records that each Timeshare Loan has been sold to the Depositor and subsequently pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(d) The Seller shall respond to any inquiries with respect to ownership of a Timeshare Loan by stating that such Timeshare Loan has been sold to the Depositor and that the Depositor is the owner of such Timeshare Loan and that such Timeshare Loan has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(e) On or prior to the Amendment Closing Date, the Seller shall file or cause to be filed, at its own expense, financing statements in favor of the Depositor with respect to the Conveyed Timeshare Property meeting the requirements of state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary or appropriate to perfect the acquisition of the Conveyed Timeshare Property by the Depositor from the Seller, and shall deliver file-stamped copies of such financing statements to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(f) The Seller agrees from time to time, at its expense, promptly to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that may be necessary, or that the Depositor may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale of the Timeshare Loans, or to enable the Depositor to

exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any Timeshare Loan including but not limited to powers of attorney, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and assignments of Mortgage and Right-to-Use Agreements and Installment Sale Contracts. The Seller hereby appoints the Depositor as attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable, to act on behalf and in the name of the Seller to enforce obligations of the Seller hereunder.

(g) Any change in the legal name of the Seller and any use by it of any trade name, fictitious name, assumed name or “doing business as” name occurring after the Closing Date shall be promptly disclosed to the Depositor in writing.

(i) The Seller shall immediately transfer to the Depositor or its assignee, as applicable, any payment it receives in respect of the Conveyed Timeshare Property.

(j) In the event that the Seller or the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor should receive actual notice of any transfer taxes arising out of the transfer, assignment and conveyance of any Conveyed Timeshare Property, on written demand by the Depositor, or upon the Seller otherwise being given notice thereof, the Seller shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold the Depositor and any of its assignees harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against any and all such transfer taxes.

(k) The Seller will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders and preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises, qualifications and privileges except to the extent that the failure so to comply with such laws, rules and regulations or the failure so to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises, qualifications and privileges could not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the collectibility of the Conveyed Timeshare Property or the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(l) The Seller will keep its principal place of business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the Obligor Notes at the address of the Seller listed herein or, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, at any other location in jurisdictions where all actions reasonably requested by the Depositor to protect and perfect the interest in the Obligor Notes, Right-to-Use Agreements and Installment Sale Contracts under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code have been taken and completed within 10 days of such notice. The Seller also will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing the Obligor Notes, Right-to-Use Agreements and Installment Sale Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Seller under this Section 8(b) shall not terminate upon the resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the Indenture and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(c) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 8 to indemnify the Indemnified Parties shall survive the termination of this Agreement and continue until the Notes are paid in full or otherwise released or discharged.

SECTION 9. No Proceedings.

SECTION 10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing and mailed or telecommunicated, or delivered as to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the signature page hereof or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall not be effective until received by the party to whom such notice or communication is addressed. To the extent that any

Purchaser which the Agent has confirmed holds at least a 15% interest in the Notes shall give written direction to any of the parties hereto that it wishes to directly receive copies of any notices and other communications that the Agent is entitled to receive hereunder, the parties hereto agree to comply with such direction.

SECTION 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Seller, the Depositor or any assignee thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, the Depositor and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled directly to enforce this Agreement. The Seller may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Depositor and any of its assignees. The Depositor may, and intends to, assign all of its rights hereunder to the Issuer and the Seller consents to any such assignment. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until its termination; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof and the repurchase or substitution and indemnification obligations shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement but such rights and remedies may be enforced only by the Depositor.

SECTION 13. Amendments; Consents and Waivers. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and documents delivered thereto, nor consent to any departure by the Seller from any of the terms or conditions thereof shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto and the written consent of the Agent on behalf of the Required Purchasers is given and, to the extent the Notes are rated, confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any rating assigned to a Class of Notes. The Depositor shall provide the Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and, to the extent any Notes are rated, the Rating Agencies with such proposed modifications, amendments or waivers. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No consent to or demand by the Seller in any case shall, in itself, entitle it to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The Seller acknowledges that in connection with the intended assignment by the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Timeshare Property to the Issuer, the Issuer, as Issuer, intends to issue the Notes, the proceeds of which will be used by the Issuer to purchase the Timeshare Loans from the Depositor.

SECTION 14. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Governmental Authority determines that the

Depositor may not purchase or acquire the Conveyed Timeshare Property, the transactions evidenced hereby shall constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, notwithstanding the otherwise applicable intent of the parties hereto, and the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor as of the date hereof, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, the Conveyed Timeshare Property and the related property as described in Section 2 hereof.

Schedule III-4

Schedule III (II(j))

Physical Condition

1.		The Developer was not the developer of the Poipu Point condominium (completed in 1993); the Ka’anapali Beach Vacation Resort (completed in 1988); The Villas at Polo Towers (completed in 2006) or Sedona Summit Resort (completed in 2007). As a result, the Association does not hold any warranties, express or implied, on the Collection accommodations or the component sites. The resort interests were conveyed to the Trustee “as is.”

2.		Ka’anapali Beach Resort

		A lawsuit alleging a construction defect by the manufacturer of the rooftop space frame was filed by the Company or one or more of its affiliates (the “Developer”) in its pursuit to help the association in the matter of determining whether there are any grounds to seek relief against the manufacturer of said space frame. Settlement in the amount of $2.465MM has been reached with the three defendants and the case has been dismissed.

		Water intrusion issues have also been discovered around the resort, including the sealant around the entire property, the driveway, porte-cochere and parking structure. The extent of the damage, recommendations for repair and evaluation of financial responsibility are currently being considered.

3.		The Point at Poipu

		It has come to the attention of the Developer that the exterior walls of certain buildings in the Poipu Point condominium have experienced damage due to water intrusion. Exterior finishes are experiencing deterioration and distress in the form of delamination, bulging, and separation of finishes as well as corrosion staining. There has been significant corrosion of fasteners including screws for sheathing, as well as heavy gage nuts and bolts for structural connections; corrosion of load path (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) ties; significant deterioration of underlying gypsum board sheathing due to water saturation; and decay of wood structural members, primarily glulam members due to water saturation.

		Investigation indicates all 10 buildings in the Project are affected. The Board of Directors of the condominium association for Poipu Point is conducting a study to determine the scope and extent of the damage, and will make additional information available once it is known. At that time, the condominium Board will also formulate recommendations and determine what action will be necessary to remedy the damage. Costs will be incurred to repair damage and to prevent further damage and there may be a

Schedule III-5

		special assessment to cover the costs of repair. The amount and nature of any such assessment will be dependent upon the actual cost to be incurred to repair the damage and what insurance, if any, may cover this damage. In terms of conducting repair work, it is contemplated that any required repairs will be staggered so as not to materially impair the operation of the Project. It is anticipated that repair schedules will occur in such a way so as to minimize the impact of the ability of the owners to obtain a reservation.

4.		Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort

		Numerous instances of improper installation or construction techniques by the contractor have been discovered at Lake Tahoe Vacation Resort. These construction defects have resulted or may result in some structural defects, including water intrusion in the roof and the parking garage and in the bathrooms and exterior walls of a significant number of units at the resort. In order to secure the correction of these defects, the Developer filed an action against the contractor seeking repairs and in some instances replacement of physical components of the resort and correction of the effects of any resulting defects and/or water intrusion. This action settled for $25 million. A plan is currently being developed to make the necessary repairs to the resort, which will take several years to complete. The use of the affected units may be temporarily interrupted during the course of making the repairs.

5.		Palm Springs Marquis Villas

		An unrelated party which is the holder of the master lease and use rights to sixty-three (63) units at this resort has been in bankruptcy for some time. Diamond Resorts has entered into a contract to purchase the bankrupt’s interest in this resort and, in the interim has been managing the resort. The contract gave Diamond Resorts until October 22, 2008 to receive approval of the Bureau of Indian Affairs for this acquisition. Since the contract was not timely approved by the BIA, it is possible that either through the lack of funds or default on the ground lease as a result of the bankruptcy, that Diamond Resorts will not be able to fulfill reservation requests at the resort.

6.		Daytona Beach Regency Porte Cochere

		The underside Ceiling of the Porte Cochere fell into the driveway in August 2008. This ceiling had been repaired in 2004 after damage sustained during the 2004 Hurricanes. The contractor has been put on notice, The Porte Cochere was demolished and removed as required by the Fire Dept, at a cost of approx $150K. The estimated cost to replace is approx. $450K. A claim has been filed with our insurance carrier.

7.		Scottsdale Links

		There are currently eleven (11) units dedicated to Diamond Resorts U.S. Collection (f/k/a Club Sunterra Vacations) that are actually not available for guest use and points being sold against this inventory are not supported because these units are being utilized for back office operations. In the meantime, Diamond Resorts U.S. Collection Development, LLC (the “DRUSC”) has used developer space to accommodate owner requests and

Schedule III-6

		maintain the one-to-one property to points ratio required by law. DRUSC is currently evaluating the situation.

8.		Desert Paradise

		There are currently eight (8) units at Desert Paradise Resort that are dedicated to Diamond Resorts U.S. Collection (f/k/a Club Sunterra Vacations) that are actually not available for guest use and points being sold against this inventory are not supported because these units are being utilized for back office operations. In the meantime, DRUSC has used developer space to accommodate owner requests and maintain the one-to-one property to points ratio required by law. DRUSC is currently evaluating the situation.

9.		Suites at Fall Creek Bank Erosion:

		April 9th 2008, Heavy Rains caused Table Rock Lake to swell, forcing the Army Corp of Engineers to open up all 10 flood gates of Table Rock Dam sending fast moving water down to Lake Tanney Como. This resulted in high water levels and significant erosion of the banks behind buildings 7-8.

		On April 24th, additional storms created more high water and flood gates were opened again. Extensive damage to the banks were noticed causing concern that there was insufficient embankment left to properly support several large trees behind buildings 9-12, with these trees possibly sliding down the embankment and in the process falling on the buildings. Reservations for Buildings 9-12 were suspended pending the trees being removed. As the area behind each building was cleared of trees, we inspected the embankment for stress marks, and were able to reopen buildings 9-12 within 4 days. Buildings 7 and 8 remained offline. The marina, dock and bait shop sustained heavy damage, and have been removed. The boats were retrieved from the water prior to sustaining any damage.

		The insurance carrier was put on notice and a claim filed. Both DRI and the underwriters retained experts to determine the repair and remediation necessary to secure the buildings, marina and embankment. To date the underwriters have funded the costs related to the remediation and reconstruction the damage sustained. Building 8 was placed in service June 30^th, 2009. Building 7 will be placed in service in June 2010 upon completion of a scheduled refurbishment. The marina, dock and bait shop, should be complete by the second quarter of 2010. While there are a lot of complex issues surrounding this claim, it is expected that the claim will settle by third quarter 2010.

		Stair Towers:

		Building 21: The walkways on each floor of the building constructed with concrete over wood. The wood is decaying causing the concrete to break down. The stair towers are attached to the wood through the concrete and cannot be supported. Repairs are in process.

Schedule III-7

10.		Polo Towers

		As a result of a recent investigation into a cluster of Legionnaire’s disease cases, the Southern Nevada Health District (“SNHD”) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) collected various samples of water and surfaces at Polo Towers. Legionella was found in samples from 5 rooms. Upon receipt of this information, these rooms were closed until further notice. SNHD required that a third party engineering firm be retained to survey the Polo Towers water distribution facility, that an improved plan for control, monitoring and prevention of Legionella be developed, and that appropriate communication be made to Polo Towers staff, owners and guests. The 5 rooms have been put back into service. In a letter dated September 15, 2009 from the SNHD, the SNHD closed its investigation. The Company fully cooperated with SNHD in this matter.

Credit Underwriting

POLICY AND PROCEDURE


Subject:	Credit Underwriting	Procedure No.: DRFS-00006

Scope:	Sales, Contracts, Accounting,	Revision Date: May 27, 2009
	Controller, and other resort team
	members

Location:	US Sales Centers / DRI Global	Effective: July 31, 2000
Headquarters

PURPOSE:

This policy establishes guidelines for Credit Underwriting. Any changes to this policy must be approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

POLICY:

	1)		It is the objective of DRFS’s (“company”) credit underwriting policy is to be fair to all applicants and to evaluate all loan applications fairly based on the ability of the applicant to repay the debt in a timely manner.

	2)		It is the objective of our contracts and underwriting processes to:

	a.		produce loans that are conservatively underwritten with appropriate down payments consistent with the underlying credit risk;

	b.		operate independent of the sales process;

	c.		efficiently produce loans free of collateral taints and conflicts; and

	d.		produce loans in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

	3)		Such objectives require a system of controls and checks and balances and will generate assets with appropriate balance of risk and reward that will well serve all of the Diamond Resorts constituents. The foregoing policy and processes must be applied completely and consistently.

	4)		Prohibition Against Discrimination:

			It is the policy of Diamond Resorts to review each loan on a case-by-case basis, to determine the creditworthiness of the applicant. In evaluating a credit application, DRFS will review and consider information that has a demonstrable relationship to the credit decision. The company shall not take into account or discriminate against any applicant on a prohibited basis, including discrimination:

	a.		on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex or marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract);

	b.		because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program; or

	c.		because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act or any state law upon which an exemption has been granted under said Act.

Page 1 of 6

	5)		Underwriting Process:

			Diamond Resorts will review each loan application, taking into account the following guidelines and requirements.

	a.		All new financed sales are subject to credit underwriting by DRFS.

	b.		It is the responsibility of the sales site (Quality Assurance Officer or Sales manager) to advise the customer that the loan request is subject to underwriting approval.

	c.		The credit underwriting will be authorized by personnel in the DRFS Contracts Department. (All persons authorized to make credit decisions on behalf of DRFS shall be granted this authority by the National Contracts Manager.)

	d.		DRFS management or their designee will approve every financed sale before a loan is scheduled for escrow close. Such approval will include:

	1.		a complete and accurate contract that is in compliance with Diamond Resorts policy, and

	2.		a credit bureau report for all financed sales, including any transaction for existing owners; or

	3.		when a credit report is not available, a Credit Exception Form as described below

			Note: All exceptions will require documentation on a Credit Exception Form, which must accompany the document file and require signature approval by the VP Client Services, National Contracts Manager or the Director, Operations.

	6)		▇▇▇▇▇▇ (sale status)

	a.		If DRFS denies approval of a financed sale, the Sales Center will be advised and the contract may be returned for remediation. DRFS may classify the sale as a “▇▇▇▇▇▇” (see separate policy), thus allowing up to 60 days for remediation. Sales will be provided 10 days notice prior to expiration of the 60 day “▇▇▇▇▇▇” period. Given expiration of the 60 day “▇▇▇▇▇▇” period with no resolution, DRFS will effect cancellation of the sale and direct return of the escrow deposit to the customer

	b.		Further, any related sales commissions will either be cancelled (if accrued and not paid) or netted against future commissions (if already paid.)

Underwriting Criteria

	a.		Credit underwriting is performed by reviewing the completed credit application and the credit bureau report and/or performance history with the company.

	b.		All financed sales packages must include a completed credit application, signed by all borrowing parties.

	c.		A credit report is required for all financed sales, including existing owners.

	d.		Existing owners

	a.		For upgrade or add-on transactions of existing owners, a credit report will be required, although credit may be granted considering their performance history with Diamond. In the case of an existing delinquency on an existing Diamond Resorts loan, applicants will be required to resolve this delinquency by making a separate payment to bring the loan current, i.e., such payment posted to the account, before they may proceed with the new transaction.

	b.		No credit score or lack of history requires a minimum 30% down payment.

	e.		When a credit report / risk score / credit history is not available, a Credit Exception Form (see Exhibit 1) must be completed with the reason clearly stated as to why the credit report / risk score / credit history is not available. Either the VP Client Services, National Contracts Manager or the Director, Operations must provide signature authorization for any and all exceptions per the Credit Exception Form. The credit report and/or Credit Exception Form must be included as part of the credit file. A credit exception will not delay the close of escrow.

	f.		A minimum 30% down payment is required when no credit report is available.

	g.		Minimum down payment (see Exhibit 2) in U.S. funds. Diamond Resorts employees or independent contractors may not contribute to this down payment in any form. The source of down payment must be the borrower(s). Should the down payment be contributed in whole or in part by a third party not participating in the credit transaction, the monies must be accompanied by a letter signed by that party indicating the money is a gift and is not expected to be repaid.

Page 2 of 6

	h.		No bankruptcy within the previous 12 months period for both deeded inventory and trust based sales. More specifically, no approvals for pre-settlement cases; a post-settlement period of 12 months required unless otherwise approved by the VP Client Services, National Contracts Manager or the Director, Operations.

	i.		Judgments or liens on deeded property sales must be closed or meet the following criteria:

	j.		Civil judgments or open public record’s less than 10K will not require exceptions.

	k.		Tax liens less than 1K will not require exceptions

	l.		All other civil judgments, open public records or tax liens that do not meet this criteria must be approved by the VP Client Services, National Contract Manager, or the Director of Operations.

	m.		Civil judgments or liens on trust based sales shall not be a factor in extending credit for applicant(s) that otherwise qualifies in accordance with the current credit underwriting policy.

8)		Exceptions to Policy:

		It is the expectation of DRFS that this policy will address the vast majority of sales transactions. However, the company recognizes that this policy cannot address every situation that is likely to arise in the purchase and lending process. Therefore, the company grants total authority to the VP Client Services, National Contracts Manager or the Director of Operations to grant exceptions to this policy on a discretionary basis. Each exception granted shall be documented in 1) the credit file. Notwithstanding such exception authority, all transactions must comply with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

Notes:

1.		Any loan with a FICO score less than 600 will be considered grey paper financing. Commissions will be paid based on the current grey paper policy of 50% regular commission paid when sale is made active, 25% of regular commission after 6 timely payments; 25% of regular commission after 12 timely payments.

2.		Any loan in which a credit exception is granted for any reason will fall into the grey paper financing category regardless of FICO Score. Commissions will be paid based on the current grey paper policy of 50% regular commission paid when sale is made active, 25% of regular commission after 6 timely payments; 25% of regular commission after 12 timely payments.

3.		A minimum 30% down payment is required when no credit report is available. The interest rate is determined per the actual rate in the above table, utilizing the 575 — 599 FICO SCORE range, given the level of down payment, i.e., “30.00 -which is currently 17.9%.

4.		For EXISTING OWNERS Tier 1 — 3 option: Down payments must be full cash to qualify for lower rate. (Equity cannot be applied to down payment amount).

The “no credit report” minimum down payment requirement of 30% takes precedent over any and all existing owner down payment requirements.

6.		ADD ONS: Must receive 10% down payment for existing owners with a FICO >649. The rate on the add-on will be per the above table. The “no credit report” minimum down payment requirement of 30% takes precedent over any and all “existing-owner” down payment requirements.

7.		WRAPS: Must receive 10% down payment on the incremental sales amount for existing owners with a FICO >649. The rate on the wrap will be per the above table. The “no credit report” minimum down payment requirement of 30% takes precedent over any and all “existing-owner” down payment requirements.

Civil judgments or liens on trust based sales shall not be a factor in extending credit for applicants) that otherwise qualifies in accordance with the current credit underwriting policy.

9.		State and county tax liens must be closed or less than $1,000.

10.		Bankruptcies must be closed for a period of 12 months.
