INTERVAL ACQUISITION CORP.

Offer to Exchange

$300,000,000 principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, which have been registered under the Securities Act, for any and all of our outstanding 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016

        Interval Acquisition Corp. is offering to exchange, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, all of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, or the "old notes," for its registered 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, or the "new notes." The new notes and the old notes are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "notes." The parent and domestic subsidiaries of Interval Acquisition Corp. are also offering the guarantees of the new notes, which are described in this prospectus. The terms of the new notes and the guarantees of the new notes are identical to the terms of the old notes and their guarantees except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and therefore are freely transferable. The new notes will represent the same debt as the old notes and will be issued under the same indenture as governs the old notes. Interest on the notes will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The notes will mature on September 1, 2016.

        The principal features of the exchange offer are as follows:

    We will exchange all old notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of new notes that are freely tradable.

    You may withdraw tendered old notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

    The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on    •    , 200 •, unless extended.

    The exchange of old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. We will pay all expenses incurred by us in connection with the exchange offer and the issuance of the new notes.

    We do not intend to apply for listing of the new notes on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.

        Broker-dealers receiving new notes in exchange for old notes acquired for their own account through market-making or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus in any resale of the new notes.

        All untendered old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the old notes and in the indenture. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the old notes under the Securities Act.

        You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 21 of this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer.

        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is    •    , 200 •

Overview

        Interval Leisure Group, Inc., or ILG, was incorporated in May 2008 in connection with the spin-off to hold the businesses of IAC/InterActiveCorp, or IAC, that were previously reported in its Interval reporting segment. The spin-off of ILG from IAC occurred on August 20, 2008. Interval Acquisition Corp., the issuer of the notes, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILG and also a holding company, which does not have any material assets or operations other than ownership interests in those entities and assets through which the businesses of ILG are conducted.

        Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, in this prospectus "ILG," "the Company," "we," "our" or "us" refers to Interval Leisure Group, Inc. together with its subsidiaries. "Interval" refers to that group of companies operating our vacation ownership membership business. "RQH" refers to that group of companies operating our vacation rental and property management business, including, without limitation, ResortQuest Hawaii, LLC and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, LLC. The businesses operated by ILG are referred to herein as the "ILG Businesses."

        We are a leading provider of membership and leisure services to consumers and business-to-business customers in the vacation ownership industry. We operate in two primary business segments: Interval and RQH. Our principal business, Interval, makes available vacation ownership membership services to the individual members of its exchange networks, as well as related services to resort developers participating in its exchange networks worldwide. RQH was acquired in May 2007 and provides vacation rental and property management services to both vacationers and vacation property/hotel owners across Hawaii.

Vacation Ownership Membership Services (Interval)

        Interval has been at the forefront of the vacation ownership membership exchange industry since its founding in 1976, and we operate one of the leading vacation ownership membership exchange networks, the Interval Network, and our recently launched Preferred Residences Program. As of December 31, 2007:

    the large and diversified base of resorts participating in the Interval Network consisted of more than 2,400 resorts located in more than 75 countries and included both leading independent resort developers and branded hospitality companies;

    nearly two million vacation ownership interest owners were enrolled as members of the Interval Network;

    the average tenure of the relationships with the top 25 resort developers (as determined by the number of new members enrolled during the year ended December 31, 2007) was approximately 16 years; and

    nearly one million confirmed vacations were processed through the Interval Network during the year then ended.

        Interval typically enters into multi-year contracts with developers of vacation ownership resorts, pursuant to which the resort developers agree to enroll all purchasers of vacation interests at the applicable resort as members of an Interval exchange program. In return, Interval provides enrolled

4


purchasers with the ability to exchange the use and occupancy of their vacation interest at the home resort (generally for periods of one week) for the right to occupy accommodations at a different resort participating in an Interval exchange network or at the same resort during a different period of occupancy. Interval also provides travel-related services for members residing in the United States and United Kingdom directly and, in certain other servicing regions, through the use of third party travel providers. Through Interval's Getaway program, members may rent resort accommodations for a fee without relinquishing the use of their vacation interest. In addition, Interval offers support, consulting and back-office services for certain resort developers participating in the Interval Network, upon their request and for additional consideration.

        Interval earns most of its revenue from (i) fees paid for membership in the Interval Network and (ii) fees paid for confirmed vacations.

Vacation Rental & Property Management Services (RQH)

        Through RQH, we provide vacation rental and property management services for owners of vacation properties and hotel management services to owners of traditional hotels. Such vacation properties and hotels are not owned by us. As of December 31, 2007, RQH provided property management services to 26 resorts and hotels, as well as more limited management services to an additional 23 properties.

        Revenue from RQH is derived principally from management fees for vacation rental services and property management services. Fees consist of a base management fee and, in some instances, an incentive fee. Property management agreements may provide that owners receive specified percentages of the revenue generated under RQH management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operation are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages, and RQH either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit.

Industry Overview/Market Opportunity

        The hospitality industry is a major component of the travel industry, which is affected by the performance of the U.S. economy. In 2007, domestic and international travelers spent an estimated $740 billion in the United States for business and leisure travel of 50 miles or more, which represented a compounded annual growth rate of 6% since 2005.

        The vacation ownership industry, which is also referred to as the timeshare industry, is a segment of the broader hospitality industry that encompasses the development, management and operation of vacation ownership resorts and the sale of vacation interests in related timeshare products, including traditional deeded week timeshare regimes, points systems or vacation clubs, fractional products, private residence clubs and other forms of shared ownership and, in some instances, whole ownership. The vacation ownership industry enables customers to share ownership of fully-furnished vacation accommodations.

        Typically, a vacation interest purchaser acquires either a fee simple interest in a property, which gives the purchaser title to a fraction of a unit or a group of units, or a right to use accommodations for a specified period of time. A key benefit of vacation interests relative to traditional lodging is that vacation ownership units are, on average, larger and focus more on a "home away from home" experience.

        Historically, the vacation ownership industry has been cited as one of the fastest growing segments of the hospitality industry in the United States, with a sales compounded annual growth rate of

5



approximately 14% from 1990 through 2007. We believe the following factors will contribute to long-term growth in the industry:

    increased consumer awareness and acceptance of the value and benefits of vacation interest;

    adoption of constructive vacation ownership related legislation and regulations internationally that improve consumer protection and allow businesses to operate profitably; and

    the entry of additional independent resort developers and branded hospitality companies into the vacation ownership industry, which we expect to increase the number of vacation interests available for sale.

        Vacation exchange networks, such as the Interval Network, provide vacation interest owners the flexibility to trade their annual use rights for alternative accommodations based upon availability within these exchange networks. There are two principal providers of vacation ownership membership exchange services in the global vacation membership services industry, Interval and RCI, LLC, a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corp. In 2007, approximately 99% of all U.S.-based vacation ownership resorts were participants in an exchange network offered by Interval or RCI or both. Growth in the vacation ownership membership services industry is driven primarily by the number of vacation interests sold to new purchasers.

Competitive Strengths

As an industry leader, Interval is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of the vacation ownership industry

        The vacation ownership industry has been one of the fastest growing segments of the hospitality industry in the United States. A 2007 study conducted by the ARDA International Foundation reported an estimated sales penetration rate of only 4% of U.S. households. Industry experts estimate that, before 2015, market penetration could reach up to 15% among potential U.S. purchasers, where the householder is between 35 and 65 years of age, with an income greater than $75,000.

        As an industry leader, Interval is well-positioned to provide vacation exchange services to new and existing vacation interest owners that offer owners flexibility to select alternate vacation options, destinations and seasons in which to enjoy use of their vacation interests and experience other products and services through the membership in the Interval vacation exchange networks.

Meaningful value proposition to an affluent customer base of vacation interest owners

        According to a 2006 study by Ragatz Associates, flexibility and ability to exchange were two of the top ten purchase motivations of recent U.S. vacation interest purchasers. The flexibility Interval membership provides, coupled with its relatively low cost as a percentage of the vacation interest purchase price (generally less than 1% of the sale price of a vacation interest), provides an attractive value proposition for Interval's members.

        A 2006 study conducted by Simmons found that Interval's U.S. membership base is comprised of individuals and families, with an average primary home market value of approximately $440,000, median household income of approximately $108,000 and approximately 35% owning a second home in addition to their vacation interest. More than 45% of Interval's U.S. members own more than one week of vacation ownership per year, with 28% owning two weeks and 18% owning three weeks or more. Interval members travel 35 nights per year on average. By focusing on this high quality demographic, we are able to realize increased revenue per member, enhance our ability to cross-sell and deliver a wide array of supplemental products and services in addition to traditional exchange services.

Longstanding relationships with leading resort developers, a trusted exchange platform and a scalable infrastructure

        Through Interval, we have developed strong relationships with quality-tier independent resort developers and branded hospitality companies, which in turn value the size and quality of the Interval Network and the value proposition it represents to vacation interest owners. Of the top 25 new member producing accounts in 2007, the average affiliation tenure is approximately 16 years. Interval has developed its service offering with the philosophy to complement rather than compete with its resort developer clients, which we believe has contributed to the long standing relationships it enjoys with its developer clients.

Global footprint

        The Interval Network includes resorts in over 75 countries, and we maintain sales and service offices around the world. Our growing global footprint, coupled with our longstanding developer relationships, provides us with multiple opportunities to participate in the future growth of the global vacation ownership industry.

Recurring revenue streams and strong financial performance through economic downturns

        Our recurring revenues from membership fees and confirmed vacations (collectively, more than 87% of Interval's total revenues since 2003) have historically been predictable in nature, and have allowed us to display financial stability during two prior economic downturns. Interval's performance has been aided by the proven stability of the vacation ownership industry, which historically has significantly outperformed traditional lodging segments during periods of slow economic growth.

Seasoned management team with demonstrated history of success

        Our senior management team, led by Craig Nash, has over 110 years of combined experience with the Company. The senior management team has been responsible for many of our core strategies, including focusing on a higher income customer base, enhancing developer and branded hospitality company relationships, expanding into new international markets and entering the vacation rental and property management services business through the acquisition of Hawaii's second largest independent player in the market.

Business Strategy

        To serve our clients and profitably grow our business, we are pursuing the following strategic initiatives:

Expand services to and leverage our strategic developer relationships

        Interval believes it can leverage its existing strategic developer relationships to capitalize on the future expansion of currently participating resort developers, to establish relationships with additional resort developers building new resorts and to pursue strategic partnerships with other high quality companies. Interval strengthens these relationships by offering select resort developers, for additional consideration, back-office and operational support services including reservation services, loan servicing and maintenance fee billing. Also, Interval seeks to bring additional value to its developer clients and potentially add to its revenues through several lead generation initiatives, each aimed at driving new vacation ownership purchasers (and new Interval members) into the vacation ownership market.

7


Increase non-vacation exchange related revenue

        We believe that our Interval Network membership base of nearly 2 million vacation owners provides an opportunity to continue to cross-sell existing value-added services and non-vacation exchange products as well as to offer new services and products. As an example, for an incremental annual fee, our Interval Gold program offers benefits such as discounts on Interval's Getaway program, a concierge service, a hotel discount program and Interval Options, a service that allows members to relinquish the use of their vacation interest annually towards the booking of a cruise, golf or spa vacation. Approximately 36% of our members were enrolled in Interval Gold as of December 31, 2007. We seek to grow the non-exchange related revenue from existing offerings, and intend to continue to develop new service and product offerings that serve the needs of our membership base in order to profitably grow our business.

Support continued growth of online transactions

        IntervalWorld.com provides Interval's members with access to transact virtually all member services. Through this website, customers may easily exchange properties around the globe and purchase Gateways, renew their memberships and, in the United States, make travel arrangements. Interval's online confirmations have grown from approximately 14% of total bookings in 2003 to approximately 26% in 2007. Interval continues to support and encourage member usage of IntervalWorld.com, through online-only promotions, expansion of online product offerings and improvement of site usability.

Continue international expansion

        We continue to make strategic investments to capitalize on growing international demand for upscale vacation ownership resort development. In 2007, Interval made business development investments in Dubai and expanded its operational presence in Asia. We believe that our continued expansion of our exchange networks internationally will appeal to our members and enhance our relationships with resort developers.

Pursue strategic acquisitions opportunistically

        We plan to selectively evaluate potential acquisitions, joint ventures and other business arrangements that focus on the vacation rental and membership services sectors, and may use such activities to expand our membership base, provide cross-selling opportunities, or otherwise enhance or complement our existing operations and strategy.

Overview of the Spin-off and Related Financing Transactions

The separation

        On August 20, 2008, IAC completed its separation into five separate, publicly traded companies via the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Spincos, each previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC. At the time of the spin-offs, the Spincos held directly or indirectly the assets and liabilities associated with the following businesses:

    HSNi;

    ILG;

    Ticketmaster; and

    Tree.com.

        Prior to the spin-offs, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and several other agreements with IAC and the other Spincos to effect the separation of the Spincos and provide a

8



framework for the relationships of the Spincos with IAC and each other. Immediately following the spin-offs, IAC stockholders owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of each of the Spincos.

        In connection with certain internal restructuring steps implemented in contemplation of and in order for IAC to complete the Spin-Off of ILG and the other Spincos, on August 20, 2008, IAC transferred to ILG all of the outstanding stock of Interval Acquisition Corp., which, directly and through its subsidiaries, holds ownership interests in those entities and assets through which the businesses of ILG are conducted, and the assets of ILG are held. See "The Transactions."

Financing transactions

        On August 19, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp. entered into an indenture, which was supplemented on August 20, 2008, pursuant to which it issued the old notes to IAC. Interval Acquisition Corp.'s obligations under the indenture and the old notes are guaranteed by Interval Acquisition Corp.'s domestic subsidiaries and ILG. IAC exchanged the old notes on August 20, 2008 for certain of IAC's 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "IAC Notes") pursuant to a Notes Exchange and Consent Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2008, by and among IAC, Interval Acquisition Corp. and certain institutional holders (the "Noteholders") of IAC Notes (the "Exchange Agreement"). On August 20, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp. and the guarantors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Noteholders that exchanged certain of their IAC Notes for Interval Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement").

        In connection with the spin-off, Interval Acquisition Corp. also entered into new senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $150 million term loan and a $50 million revolving credit facility, which provided funding for a cash distribution to IAC at the time of the spin-off of approximately $89.4 million.

        The issuance of the old notes and entering into of the senior secured credit facility are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the "financing." See "The Transactions" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness."

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

        On August 19, 2008, $300,000,000 principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, the old notes to which the exchange offer applies, were issued by Interval Acquisition Corp. to IAC in reliance on exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. IAC exchanged the old notes on August 20, 2008 for the IAC Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. The old notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the issuer's domestic subsidiaries and by the issuer's parent, ILG. In connection with the offering of the old notes, the issuer and the guarantors agreed to conduct the exchange offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement with the Noteholders that exchanged certain of their IAC Notes for Interval Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

The Exchange Offer

  The issuer is offering new 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the guarantors, jointly and severally, which new notes and guarantees will be registered under the Securities Act, in exchange for the old notes.

 

To exchange your old notes, you must properly tender them, and the issuer must accept them. The issuer will exchange all old notes that you validly tender and do not validly withdraw. The issuer will cancel all old notes accepted for exchange and issue registered new notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Resale of New Notes

 

We believe that, if you are not a broker-dealer, you may offer the new notes (together with the guarantees thereof) for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the new notes and the related guarantees without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you:

 

 

are acquiring the new notes in your ordinary course of business;

 

 

are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution," as defined under the Securities Act, of the new notes; and

 

 

are not an "affiliate," as defined under the Securities Act, of the issuer or any guarantor.

 

Our belief that resales and other transfers of new notes would be permitted without registration or prospectus delivery under the conditions described above is based on SEC interpretations given to other, unrelated issuers in transactions similar to the exchange offer. We cannot assure you that the SEC would take the same position with respect to the exchange offer. If any of the conditions described above is not satisfied, you may not rely on the SEC interpretations and you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale or other transfer of the new notes. Failure to so comply may result in liability to you under the Securities Act. We will not be responsible for or indemnify you against any liability you may incur under the Securities Act.

10


 

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See "Plan of Distribution and Selling Restrictions."

Expiration Date

 

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on  •  , 200  •  , unless we extend the expiration date.

Withdrawal

 

You may withdraw your tender of old notes under the exchange offer at any time before the exchange offer expires. Any withdrawal must be in accordance with the procedures described in "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights."

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

 

Each holder of old notes that wishes to accept the exchange offer must, before the exchange offer expires:

 

 

transmit a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, including the old notes, to the exchange agent;

 

 

if old notes are tendered in accordance with book-entry procedures, arrange with The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, to cause to be transmitted to the exchange agent an agent's message indicating, among other things, the holder's agreement to be bound by the letter of transmittal; or

 

 

comply with the procedures described below under "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Guaranteed Delivery."

 

A holder of old notes that tenders old notes in the exchange offer must represent, among other things, that:

 

 

the holder is acquiring the new notes in its ordinary course of business;

 

 

the holder is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes;

 

 

the holder is not an affiliate of the issuer or any guarantor;

 

 

the holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations; and

 

 

if such holder is a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such holder will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such new notes.


11


 

Do not send letters of transmittal, certificates representing old notes or other documents to us or DTC. Send these documents only to the exchange agent at the address or facsimile number given in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

Special Procedures for Tenders by Beneficial Owners of Old Notes

 

If:

 

 

you beneficially own old notes;

 

 

those notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian; and

 

 

you wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer,

 

you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

Guaranteed Delivery

 

If you hold old notes in certificated form or if you own old notes in the form of a book-entry interest in a global note deposited with the trustee, as custodian for DTC, and you wish to tender those old notes, but:

 

 

the certificates for your old notes are not immediately available or all required documents are unlikely to reach the exchange agent before the exchange offer expires; or

 

 

you cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on time,

 

you may tender your old notes in accordance with the procedures described in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Guaranteed Delivery."

Consequences of Not Exchanging Old Notes

 

If you do not tender your old notes or we reject your tender, your old notes will remain outstanding and will continue to be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the old notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legends on the old notes. Holders of old notes will not be entitled to any further registration rights. See "Risk Factors—Risks Associated with the Exchange Offer—If you fail to comply with the procedures for tendering old notes, your old notes will remain outstanding after the consummation of the exchange offer" for further information.

Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights

 

You do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer.

12


Certain Material U.S. Federal Tax Consequences

 

If the "stated redemption price at maturity" of the new notes exceeds their "issue price" by more than the statutory de minimis threshold, the new notes will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holder (as defined in "Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences") of a new note may be required to include such original issue discount in gross income as it accrues, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income and regardless of the U.S. holder's regular method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. See "Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" for more detail.

Conditions

 

The exchange offer is subject to the conditions that:

 

 

the exchange offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC;

 

 

no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer and no material adverse development shall have occurred with respect to the issuer; and

 

 

all governmental approvals shall have been obtained that the issuer deems necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer.

Use of Proceeds

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer or the issuance of the new notes. The old notes were issued to IAC as a distribution in connection with the spin-off and other transactions described in this prospectus. See "The Transactions" and "Use of Proceeds."

Acceptance of Old Notes and Delivery of New Notes

 

The issuer will accept for exchange any and all old notes properly tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. The issuer and the guarantors will complete the exchange offer and the issuer will issue the new notes promptly after the expiration date.

THE NEW NOTES

        The form and terms of the new notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes:

    will have been registered under the Securities Act;

    will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;

    will not entitle holders to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and

    will not contain provisions relating to additional interest in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.

        The new notes will represent the same debt as the old notes and will be governed by the same indenture, which is governed by New York law and is referred to in this prospectus as the indenture. In this section of the prospectus, under the heading "The New Notes," the term "notes" refers to both the new notes and the old notes.

Issuer   Interval Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation

Notes Offered

 

$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016

Maturity Date

 

September 1, 2016

Interest

 

Annual rate: 9.5%

 

 

Interest will be payable in cash on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2009.

Guarantees

 

The old notes are, and the new notes will be, guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the guarantors.

Ranking

 

The old notes are, and the new notes will be, the issuer's unsecured obligations, ranking:

 

 


 

equally in right of payment with all of the issuer's existing and future senior debt;

 

 


 

senior in right of payment to all of the issuer's future subordinated indebtedness, if any; and

 

 


 

effectively junior to (i) all debt and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors and (ii) all secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, including obligations under our senior secured credit agreement.

 

 

Each guarantor's guarantee of the old notes is, and the new notes will be, that guarantor's unsecured obligation, ranking:

 

 


 

equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of such guarantor;

 

 


 

senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness, if any, of such guarantor; and

14



 

 


 

effectively junior to secured obligations of such guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, including the secured guarantee by such guarantor of our obligations under our senior secured credit agreement.

 

 

In the event that our secured creditors exercise their rights with respect to our assets pledged to them, our secured creditors would be entitled to be repaid in full from the proceeds of those assets before those proceeds would be available for distribution to other creditors, including holders of the notes. The assets of the issuer's subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes will be subject to the prior claims of all creditors, including trade creditors, of those non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

 

As of June 30, 2008, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the transactions:

 

 


 

the issuer and its subsidiaries would have had $450.0 principal amount of indebtedness on a consolidated basis, of which:

 

 

 

 


 

$300.0 million principal amount would have been the notes, and

 

 

 

 


 

$150.0 million principal amount would have been secured debt;

 

 


 

an additional $50.0 million would have been available for borrowing on a secured basis under our senior secured credit facilities, which borrowings and related guarantees would be secured.

 

 

Our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for $29.5 million or 13.5% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and approximately $47.1 million, or 13.1% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 and accounted for $108.8 million or 11.7% of our total assets and approximately $62.1 million or 14.5% of our total liabilities as of June 30, 2008. On a pro forma basis, as of June 30, 2008, our non-guarantor subsidiaries would have accounted for approximately 11.0% of our total assets and 7.2% of our total liabilities.

 

 

See "The Transactions" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness."

Optional Redemption

 

The issuer may not redeem the notes, in whole or in part, prior to September 1, 2012. On or after September 1, 2012, the issuer may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest as set forth under "Description of New Notes—Optional Redemption."

15



Change of Control Offer

 

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of notes will have the right to require the issuer to repurchase some or all of their notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. See "Description of New Notes—Change of Control."

Certain Covenants

 

The indenture governing the notes contains covenants limiting, among other things, the issuer's ability and the ability of the issuer's restricted subsidiaries to:

 

 


 

incur additional debt;

 

 


 

pay dividends on capital stock or repurchase capital stock;

 

 


 

make certain investments;

 

 


 

enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;

 

 


 

limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us;

 

 


 

use assets as security in other transactions; and

 

 


 

sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies.

 

 

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. See "Description of New Notes."

Summary Consolidated Historical Financial and Other Data

        The following table presents certain historical financial data and other data for ILG and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Interval Acquisition Corp., for each of the years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008. The data from each of the years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2007 was derived, in part, from our historical consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and reflects our operations and financial position at the dates and for the periods indicated. The data for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 was derived, in part, from our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and reflects our operations and financial position at the dates and for the periods indicated. However, this financial information does not necessarily reflect what our historical financial position and results of operations would have been had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented.

        The unaudited historical financial data below and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the unaudited historical financial data below and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such information and statements. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (i) non-cash compensation expense, (ii) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, (iii) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions and (iv) one-time items. We believe Operating Income Before Amortization is useful to investors because it represents our operating results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization is currently one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate our performance, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation, and acquisition-related accounting.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of all non-GAAP measures used in this prospectus by also providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We provide and encourage you to examine the reconciling adjustments between Operating Income

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to invest in the notes. The risks discussed below, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In this "Risk Factors" section, the term "notes" refers to both the new notes and the old notes.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and the Notes

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our debt obligations, including our obligations under the notes.

        Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, will depend on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the notes.

        If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. Our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture governing the notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets, use the proceeds from any disposition of assets and to refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes.

        We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of June 30, 2008, on a pro forma basis we would have had total debt of approximately $450 million, consisting of $300 million of notes offered hereby and $150 million of borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities. We also would have had an additional $50 million, net of any letters of credit usage, available for borrowing under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities at that date. We may also incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. Our substantial indebtedness may:

    make it difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including making scheduled principal and interest payments on the notes and our other indebtedness;

    limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

    limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

    require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments; limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;

    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and

    increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

21


Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more indebtedness. This could exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture limit, but do not prohibit, us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the notes and the guarantees, the holders of that indebtedness will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes and the guarantees in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify.

The notes and the guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness.

        The notes and the guarantees will be general unsecured obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness and that of each guarantor, including indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities. Additionally, the indenture governing the notes permits us to incur additional secured indebtedness in the future. In the event that we or a guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any indebtedness that is effectively senior to the notes and the guarantees will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of the guarantor, as applicable, securing such indebtedness before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. As of June 30, 2008, on a pro forma basis, the notes and the guarantees would have been effectively subordinated to $150 million of senior secured indebtedness all of which would have been under our senior secured credit facilities. We would also have had an additional $50 million available for borrowing under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities, and the notes and the guarantees would have been effectively subordinated to any borrowings thereunder.

Claims of noteholders will be structurally subordinate to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

        The notes will not be guaranteed by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Accordingly, claims of holders of the notes will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors. All obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of these subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to us or a guarantor of the notes. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the business of a subsidiary that is not a guarantor, creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the notes. In any of these events, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes with respect to the assets of that subsidiary. On a pro forma basis, as of June 30, 2008, we would have had $450 million of outstanding debt on a consolidated basis, of which $150 million would have been secured debt (excluding $50 million of unused revolving commitments, net of any letters of credit usage, under our senior secured credit facilities.) Our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $29.5 million, or 13.4%, of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and approximately $47.1 million, or 13.1%, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, and approximately $108.8 million, or 11.7%, of our total assets and approximately $62.1 million, or 14.5%, of our total liabilities as of June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, on a pro forma basis, our non-guarantor subsidiaries would have accounted for approximately 11.0% of our total assets and 7.2% of our total liabilities.

22


If we default on our obligations to pay our indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

        Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under the senior secured credit facilities, that is not waived by the required lenders thereunder, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could prevent us from paying principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in certain instruments governing our indebtedness (including covenants in our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes offered hereby), we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness, including our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture governing the notes offered hereby. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our senior secured credit facilities to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our senior secured credit facilities and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under our senior secured credit agreement, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the notes.

        The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to have the notes listed on a national securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation systems. We cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for the notes. The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend on a number of factors, including:

    the number of holders of notes;

    our operating performance and financial condition;

    the market for similar securities;

    the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes; and

    prevailing interest rates.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. The market, if any, for the notes may face similar disruptions that may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes. Therefore, you may not be able to sell your notes at a particular time and the price that you receive when you sell may not be favorable.

Our being subject to certain fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws may have adverse implications for the holders of the notes.

        Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the notes or a guarantee can be voided or subordinated to the presently existing or future indebtedness of the issuer or such guarantors if, among other things, the issuer or any guarantor, at the time it, as applicable, issued the notes or incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states,

23



when payments become due under the notes or a guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the issuing of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantee and:

    was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by reason of the related financing transactions;

    was engaged or was about to engage in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

        The notes or any guarantee may also be voided, without regard to these factors, if a court finds that the issuer or the guarantor issued the notes or entered into the guarantee with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

        A court would likely find that the issuer or any guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the issuance of the notes or for a guarantee if it did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes or the guarantees. If a court were to void the issuance of the notes or a guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the issuer or such guarantor, as applicable. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the issuer or the remaining guarantors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from the issuer or any guarantor.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, the issuer or a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

    the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        Each guarantee will contain a provision intended to limit the guarantor's liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law.

Upon a change of control, we may not have the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture governing the notes, which would violate the terms of the notes.

        Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of the notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or any part of the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. We may not have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy all of obligations under the notes in the event of a change in control. Further, we will be contractually restricted under the terms of our senior secured credit facilities from repurchasing all of the notes tendered upon a change of control. Accordingly, we may be unable to satisfy our obligations to purchase the notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers under our senior secured credit facilities. Our failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture would result in a default under the indenture and a cross-default under our senior secured credit facilities, each of which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. In addition, the senior secured credit facilities will provide that a change of control is a default that permits lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under it. See "Description of New Notes—Change of Control."

24


Covenants in our debt agreements restrict our business in many ways.

        The indenture governing the notes and our senior secured credit facilities contain various covenants that limit our ability and/or our restricted subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

    incur additional debt;

    incur additional liens;

    issue redeemable stock and preferred stock;

    pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock;

    prepay, redeem or repurchase debt;

    make loans, investments and capital expenditures;

    enter into agreements that restrict distributions from our subsidiaries;

    sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries;

    enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

    consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person.

        In addition, our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictive covenants and require us to maintain specified financial ratios. Our ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our senior secured credit facilities and/or the indenture governing the notes. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under our senior secured credit facilities. If the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay our senior secured credit facilities and our other indebtedness, including the notes. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness." Our borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are, and are expected to continue to be, at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income would decrease.

Certain covenants contained in the indenture will not be applicable during any period in which the notes are rated investment grade.

        The indenture governing the notes provides that certain covenants will not apply to us during any period in which the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor's and Moody's and no default has otherwise occurred and is continuing under the indenture. The covenants that would be suspended include, among others, limitations on and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, incur indebtedness, sell certain assets and enter into certain other transactions. Any actions that we take while these covenants are not in force will be permitted even if the notes are subsequently downgraded below investment grade and such covenants are subsequently reinstated. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade, or that if they are rated investment grade, the notes will maintain such ratings. See "Description of New Notes—Suspension of Covenants."

25


If you fail to comply with the procedures for tendering old notes, your old notes will remain outstanding after the consummation of the exchange offer.

        The new notes will be issued in exchange for the old notes only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of the old notes or a book-entry confirmation related thereto, or compliance with requirements for guaranteed delivery, a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message, and all other required documentation. If you want to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither we nor the exchange agent are under any duty to give you notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange. Old notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In addition, if you tender the old notes in the exchange offer to participate in a distribution of the new notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For additional information, please refer to the sections of this prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer" and "Plan of Distribution and Selling Restrictions."

United States holders may be required to pay United States federal income tax on accrual of original issue discount on the notes.

        If the "stated redemption price at maturity" of the notes exceeds their "issue price" by more than the statutory de minimis threshold, the notes are treated as having been issued with original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holder (as defined in "Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences") of a note may be required to include such original issue discount in gross income as it accrues, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income and regardless of the U.S. holder's regular method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. See "Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" for more detail.

Risks Relating to Our Spin-off from IAC

After our spin-off from IAC, we may be unable to make the changes necessary to operate effectively as a separate public entity.

        Following our spin-off from IAC, IAC has no obligation to provide financial, operational or organizational assistance to us, other than limited services pursuant to a transition services agreement that we entered into with IAC and the other Spincos in connection with the spin-offs. As a separate public entity, we are subject to, and responsible for, regulatory compliance, including periodic public filings with the SEC and compliance with NASDAQ's continued listing requirements, as well as generally applicable tax and accounting rules. We may be unable to implement successfully the changes necessary to operate as an independent public entity.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur increased costs relating to operating as an independent company that could cause our cash flow and results of operations to decline.

        We expect that the obligations of being a public company, including substantial public reporting and investor relations obligations, will require new expenditures, place new demands on our management and will require the hiring of additional personnel. We may need to implement additional systems that require new expenditures in order to adequately function as a public company. Such expenditures could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        In addition, prior to the spin-off IAC's businesses, by virtue of being under the same corporate structure, shared economies of scope and scale in costs, human capital, vendor relationships and customer relationships with the businesses that we and the other Spincos will own following the spin-offs. The increased costs resulting from the loss of these benefits could have an adverse effect on us.

26


If one or more spin-offs, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and/or 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, IAC, the Spincos and IAC stockholders may be subject to significant tax liabilities.

        We received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and an opinion of counsel regarding the qualification of the spin-offs, together with certain related transactions, as transactions that are generally tax free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and/or 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The IRS private letter ruling and the opinions were based on, among other things, certain assumptions as well as the accuracy of certain representations and statements that IAC and the Spincos made to the IRS and to counsel or IAC's external tax advisors. If any of these representations or statements are, or become, inaccurate or incomplete, or if IAC or the Spincos breach any of their respective covenants, the IRS private letter ruling and/or the opinions may be invalid.

        Moreover, the IRS private letter ruling does not address all the issues that are relevant to determining whether the spin-offs qualify as transactions that are generally tax free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the IRS private letter ruling and opinion of counsel, the IRS could determine that one or more of the spin-offs should be treated as a taxable distribution if it determines that any of the representations, assumptions or undertakings that were included in the request for the IRS private letter ruling is false or has been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinion of counsel that are not covered by the IRS ruling.

        If one or more spin-offs were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and/or 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, then IAC generally would recognize gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the Spinco common stock distributed to the IAC stockholders in such taxable spin-off over (ii) IAC's tax basis in the common stock of such Spinco. In addition, each IAC stockholder who received Spinco common stock in such taxable spin-off generally would be treated as having received a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Spinco common stock received (including any fractional share sold on behalf of the stockholder) in such spin-off, which would be taxable as a dividend to the extent of the stockholder's ratable share of IAC's current and accumulated earnings and profits (as increased to reflect any current income, including any gain, recognized by IAC on the taxable spin-off). The balance, if any, of the distribution would be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the IAC stockholder's tax basis in its IAC stock, with any remaining amount being taxed as capital gain.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement that we entered into with IAC and the other Spincos, each Spinco generally is required to indemnify IAC and the other Spincos for any taxes resulting from the spin-off of such Spinco (and any related interest, penalties, legal and professional fees, and all costs and damages associated with related stockholder litigation or controversies) to the extent such amounts resulted from (i) any act or failure to act by such Spinco described in the covenants in the Tax Sharing Agreement, (ii) any acquisition of equity securities or assets of such Spinco or a member of its group, or (iii) any breach by such Spinco or any member of its group of any representation or covenant contained in the separation documents or in the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling and/or tax opinions. The ability of IAC or the other Spincos to collect under these indemnity provisions will depend on the financial position of the indemnifying party. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Relationships Among IAC and the Spincos—Tax Sharing Agreement."

        In addition, the IRS could disagree with or challenge the conclusions reached in one or more of the tax opinions that IAC received with respect to certain related matters and transactions. In such case, IAC could recognize material amounts of taxable income or gain.

27


Certain transactions in IAC or Spinco equity securities could cause one or more of the spin-offs to be taxable to IAC and may give rise to indemnification obligations of ILG under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        Current U.S. federal income tax law creates a presumption that the spin-off of a Spinco would be taxable to IAC, but not to its stockholders, if such spin-off is part of a "plan or series of related transactions" pursuant to which one or more persons acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a 50% or greater interest (by vote or value) in IAC or such Spinco. Acquisitions that occur during the four-year period that begins two years before the date of a spin-off are presumed to occur pursuant to a plan or series of related transactions, unless it is established that the acquisition is not pursuant to a plan or series of transactions that includes the spin-off. U.S. Treasury regulations currently in effect generally provide that whether an acquisition and a spin-off are part of a plan is determined based on all of the facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, specific factors described in the Treasury regulations. In addition, the Treasury regulations provide several "safe harbors" for acquisitions that are not considered to be part of a plan.

        These rules will limit our ability during the two-year period following the spin-offs to enter into certain transactions that might be advantageous to us and our stockholders, particularly issuing equity securities to satisfy financing needs, repurchasing equity securities, and, under certain circumstances, acquiring businesses or assets with equity securities or agreeing to be acquired. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, there are restrictions on our ability to take such actions until September 2010.

        In addition, the Tax Sharing Agreement generally provides that each Spinco will indemnify IAC and the other Spincos for any taxes resulting from the spin-off of such Spinco (and any related interest, penalties, legal and professional fees, and all costs and damages associated with related stockholder litigation or controversies) to the extent such amounts result from (i) any act or failure to act by such Spinco described in the covenants in the Tax Sharing Agreement, (ii) any acquisition of equity securities or assets of such Spinco or a member of its group, and (iii) any breach by such Spinco or any member of its group of any representation or covenant contained in the separation documents or in the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling and/or tax opinions. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Sharing Agreement."

        In addition to actions of IAC and the Spincos, certain transactions that are outside their control and therefore not subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the Tax Sharing Agreement, such as a sale or disposition of the stock of IAC or the stock of a Spinco by certain persons that own five percent or more of any class of stock of IAC or such Spinco, respectively, could have a similar effect on the tax-free status of the spin-offs as transactions to which IAC or a Spinco is a party. As of August 20, 2008, Liberty Media Corporation and certain of its affiliates, in the aggregate, owned ILG stock representing approximately 29.6% by vote and value. Accordingly, in evaluating our ability to engage in certain transactions involving our equity securities, we will need to take into account the activities of Liberty Media Corporation and its affiliates.

        As a result of these rules, even if the ILG spin-off otherwise qualifies as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, transactions involving ILG or IAC equity securities (including transactions by certain significant stockholders) could cause IAC to recognize taxable gain with respect to the stock of ILG as described above. Although the restrictive covenants and indemnification provisions contained in the Tax Sharing Agreement are intended to minimize the likelihood that such an event will occur, the ILG spin-off may become taxable to IAC as a result of transactions in IAC or ILG equity securities.

The spin-off agreements were not the result of arm's length negotiations.

        The agreements that we entered into with IAC and the other Spincos in connection with the spin-offs, including the Separation and Distribution agreement, tax sharing agreement, employee matters agreement and transition services agreement, were established by IAC, in consultation with the Spincos, with the intention of maximizing the value to current IAC's shareholders. Accordingly, the

28



terms for us may not be as favorable as would have resulted from negotiations among unrelated third parties.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

Adverse Event and Trends—Adverse events and trends in the vacation ownership, vacation rental and travel industries could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The success of ILG and our businesses depends, in substantial part, upon the health of the worldwide vacation ownership, vacation rental and travel industries. Travel expenditures are sensitive to business and personal discretionary spending levels and tend to decline during general economic downturns. Also, inclement weather and/or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods and tsunamis may result in the inability of consumers to travel to and vacation in certain destinations and regions in which participating resorts operate and/or vacation rental properties are located. Similarly, significant damage to resorts and/or vacation rental properties could result in a decrease in the number of resort accommodations or vacation rentals available for use in our vacation ownership membership programs or as vacation rentals. Our businesses are also sensitive to travel health concerns, such as SARS, bird flu and other pandemics, as well as concerns related to terrorism, enhanced travel security measures and/or geopolitical conflicts.

        Accordingly, downturns or weaknesses in the travel industry or price increases for travel related services, including economic factors adversely impacting consumers' decisions to use and consume travel services, the overall financial instability of the airline industry and associated air carrier bankruptcies, decreased airlift to relevant markets, job actions and strikes, and increased costs of transportation based on increased fuel prices, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as could inclement weather, natural disasters, health concerns, terrorism, enhanced travel security measures and/or geopolitical conflicts. In addition, the tightening of credit available to vacation property developers, including challenges with securitizations, and purchasers could result in the development of fewer vacation ownership and vacation rental properties (and in the case of existing vacation ownership and vacation rental properties, fewer potential purchasers). This factor, plus the potential for increased default rates and refund requests among current vacation interest owners, could result in a decrease in the number of Interval's exchange network members and could have a material adverse effect on the vacation ownership and vacation rental industries, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition—The industries in which our businesses operate are highly competitive and these businesses are subject to risks relating to competition that may adversely affect our performance.

        Our businesses will be adversely impacted if they cannot compete effectively in their respective industries, each of which is highly competitive. Our company's continued success depends upon our ability to compete effectively in markets that contain numerous competitors, some of which may have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. In particular, in the case of our Interval business, its primary competitor, RCI is larger and, through the resources of its corporate affiliates, particularly, Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc., itself engaged in vacation ownership sales, may have greater access to a significant segment of new vacation ownership purchasers. New competition or existing competition that does not operate on a value-added, membership basis may cause Interval to reduce its fee structure or potentially modify its business model, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Third Party Relationships—We depend on relationships with developers, members and other vacation property owners and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our Interval business is dependent upon vacation ownership developers for new members and supply of resort accommodations for use in confirmed vacations, as well as upon members to renew their existing memberships and otherwise engage in transactions. Our RQH business is dependent upon vacation property owners and hotels for vacation properties to manage and rent to vacationers.

29


        Interval has established multi-year relationships with numerous developers pursuant to exclusive affiliation agreements and we believe that relationships with these entities are generally strong, but these historical relationships may not continue in the future. The non-renewal or termination of an affiliation agreement with a major developer or multiple affiliation agreements with a combination of smaller developers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Approximately one-third of the affiliation agreements with Interval's largest 25 developers, as determined based on new member contribution for the calendar year 2007, do not include auto-renewal provisions. During 2008, the affiliation agreements for several of Interval's largest new member producing developers are scheduled to renew. Negotiations aimed at the extension of these affiliation relationships are ongoing. The failure to renew some or all these agreements will impact Interval's new member enrollment and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

        Interval may be unable to maintain existing or negotiate new affiliation agreements with resort developers or secure renewals with existing members in its exchange programs, and its failure to do so would result in decreases in the number of new and/or existing members, the supply of resort accommodations available through its exchange networks and related revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on ILG's business, financial condition and results of operations. The non-renewal of an affiliation agreement will adversely affect the ability of Interval to secure new members for its programs from the non-renewing resort, and will result in the loss of existing members (and their vacation interests) to the extent that Interval does not secure membership renewals directly from such members.

        We believe that developers will continue to create and operate internal reservation and exchange systems, which decreases their reliance on vacation ownership membership programs, including those offered by Interval, and could adversely impact the supply of resort accommodations available through Interval's exchange networks. The vacation ownership industry continues to experience consolidation through the acquisition of vacation ownership developers by other developers, which may result in the diversion of exchange membership and other business. The ability of Interval to maintain existing or negotiate new affiliation agreements is adversely impacted by the continued creation and operation of internal reservation and exchange systems by developers, as well as by consolidation in the vacation ownership industry.

        Similarly, the failure of RQH to maintain existing or negotiate new property management and/or rental services arrangements with vacation property owners, as a result of the sale of property to third parties or otherwise, or the failure of vacationers to book vacation rentals through, RQH would result in a decrease in related revenues, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Key Personnel—Loss of one or more of our key personnel could adversely affect our relationships with third parties, business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our operations require managerial and operational expertise as well as the maintenance of relationships with resort developers and other third parties. In particular, we are dependent upon the management skills and continued services of several members of our senior management team, including Craig M. Nash, our Chief Executive Officer, Jeanette E. Marbert, our Chief Operating Officer, David C. Gilbert, Interval's Executive Vice President—Resort Sales and Marketing, and Kelvin M. Bloom, President of RQH. The failure of such key personnel to continue to be active in management of our businesses could have a material adverse effect on relationships with third parties, business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not maintain key employee insurance for any of our officers and employees.

30


Adverse Events and Trends in Key Vacation Destinations—Adverse events and trends in key vacation destinations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        A substantial percentage of the vacation ownership resorts currently participating in Interval's exchange networks are located in Florida, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Mexico and Southern California, and all of the vacation properties for which RQH provides vacation rental and property management services are located in Hawaii. Approximately $120 million in revenue was generated from travel to properties located in all of these locations as well as property management services performed in Hawaii in 2007. As a result, our ongoing ability to successfully process confirmed vacations for members, as well as our ability to find a market for accommodations sourced through RQH, is largely dependent on the continued desirability of these areas as key vacation destinations. While travel demand for these destinations has been historically high on a consistent basis, this may not continue to be the case. Any significant shift in travel demand for one or more of these key destinations or any adverse impact on transportation to them, such as decreased airlift or increased travel costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The bankruptcies of two prominent airlines serving the region and their resultant cessation of operations decreased the availability of flights for vacationers seeking to travel to Hawaii. According to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism ("DBEDT"), air seats into Hawaii are anticipated to be reduced by approximately 11% for the third quarter of 2008, as compared to those available for the same period of 2007. The Hawaii DBEDT also announced that in July 2008, arrivals by air dipped 13.7% over July 2007. These factors along with the downturn in the general economic conditions of the Hawaiian travel and leisure industry could lead to a continued trend of lower demand for vacation properties in Hawaii and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        In addition, hurricanes, earthquakes or other adverse events impacting one or more of these key destinations could significantly reduce the number of accommodations available for confirmed vacations or rental to members and vacationers, as well as the need for vacation rental and property management services generally. Accordingly, any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the impact of which could be prolonged.

International Operations—Interval operates in a number of international markets, which exposes us to additional risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Revenues from international operations represented approximately 16%, 18% and 18% of our consolidated revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in 2007, as compared to prior periods, is due to domestic revenue growing at a faster rate during this time period, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH in 2007. We currently expect to continue to seek to expand and invest in our vacation ownership membership business in various international markets, especially in the Middle East and Asia.

        In order to achieve widespread acceptance in international markets, Interval must continue to successfully tailor its services to the unique customs and cultures of relevant countries and markets. Learning the customs and cultures of various countries and markets can be difficult and costly, and the failure to do so could slow international growth. Operating in international markets also exposes us to additional risks, including, among others, changes in regulatory requirements, including taxation, limits on our ability to sell products and services and enforce intellectual property rights and difficulties in managing operations due to distance, language and cultural differences, including issues associated with establishing management systems and infrastructures and staffing and managing foreign operations. Also, in particular, significant fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies could have an adverse effect on the results of our businesses operating in jurisdictions where the pricing for products and services is established in U.S. dollars and adjusted to local currency based

31



on then-current exchange rates. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions designed to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk.

        We are also exposed to risks associated with the repatriation of cash generated by certain of our foreign operations to the United States. Currently, we conduct vacation ownership exchange operations in one Latin American country from which we cannot repatriate cash generated by our operations in full. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $5.1 million in cash that can only be repatriated upon the approval of that country's government. While we continue to pursue the repatriation of this cash through all lawful means, these efforts may be unsuccessful. Furthermore, other countries in which we maintain operations may impose limitations on the repatriation of cash generated by operations in such countries now or in the future. Any limitation on us to repatriate significant cash generated by our international operations would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisitions and Strategic Arrangements—We may experience financial and operational risks in connection with acquisitions and strategic arrangements. In addition, businesses acquired by us may incur significant losses from operations or experience impairment of carrying value.

        We acquired RQH in May 2007 and intend to selectively pursue other acquisitions. However, we may be unable to identify attractive acquisition candidates or complete transactions on favorable terms. In addition, in the case of acquired businesses, we will need to:

    successfully integrate the operations, as well as the accounting, financial controls, management information, technology, human resources and other administrative systems, of acquired businesses with existing operations and systems;

    maintain third party relationships previously established by acquired companies;

    retain senior management and other key personnel at acquired businesses; and

    successfully manage acquisition-related strain on our and/or the acquired businesses' management, operations and financial resources.

        We may not be successful in addressing these challenges or any others encountered in connection with historical and future acquisitions. In addition, the anticipated benefits of one or more acquisitions may not be realized and future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and/or the assumption of contingent liabilities. Also, the value of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired could be impacted by one or more unfavorable events or trends, which could result in impairment charges. The occurrence of any these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We also intend to selectively enter into joint ventures and other strategic arrangements to provide new products and services complementary to those currently offered by our businesses. However, we may be unable to successfully enter into these arrangements on favorable terms or launch related products and services or such products and services may not gain market acceptance or be profitable. The failure to develop and execute any such initiatives on a cost-effective basis could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Property Renovations—A significant decrease in the supply of available vacation rental accommodations due to ongoing property renovations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Several of the vacation rental properties in Hawaii for which RQH provides vacation rental and property management services are expected to undergo significant renovations over the next few years. While these renovations are not under our control (and ultimately are not funded by us), they will

32



result in a decrease in the supply of vacation rental accommodations available to vacationers, as well as the need for vacation rental services, during the applicable renovation periods. Furthermore, ongoing renovations at a particular property may negatively impact the desirability of the property as a vacation destination. A significant decrease in the supply of available vacation rental accommodations and the need for vacation rental services during renovation periods, coupled with the inability to attract vacationers to properties undergoing renovations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Compliance and Changing Laws, Rules and Regulations—The failure of our businesses to comply with extensive regulatory requirements, or to obtain and maintain required licenses and rights, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our businesses are subject to various laws, rules and regulations on a global basis, including those specific to the vacation ownership industry, as well as those applicable to businesses generally, such as consumer protection and sales, use, value-added and other tax laws, rules and regulations. While we believe that the operations and practices of our businesses have been structured in a manner to ensure material compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, the relevant regulatory authorities may take a contrary position. The failure of our businesses to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, or to obtain required licenses or rights, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, unfavorable changes in the laws, rules and regulations applicable to our businesses, including those related to the imposition of taxes, could decrease demand for the services offered by our businesses, increase costs and/or subject us to additional liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The vacation ownership industry is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and elsewhere, which generally requires vacation ownership resort developers to follow certain procedures in connection with the sale and marketing of vacation interests, including the filing of offering statements describing proposed developments with relevant governmental authorities for approval and the delivery to prospective purchasers of certain information relating to the terms of the purchase and use, including recission rights. Although we and our businesses are not subject to these regulations, such regulations directly affect the members and resort developers that participate in Interval's exchange networks and, therefore, indirectly affect us. As a result, any negative change in the regulatory environment within the vacation ownership industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The European Union currently is considering amendments to its timeshare directive that may adversely affect our business and/or the businesses of resort developers in Europe.

        Our vacation rental operations are directly subject to a number of licensing requirements, as well as certain laws and regulations relating to consumer protection, particularly, those associated with the property management, including those relating to the preparation and sale of food and beverages, liquor service and health and safety of managed premises. The failure of RQH businesses to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, or to obtain required licenses or rights, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increasing Vacation Rental Revenues—Our future growth is dependent, in part, on the ability of our businesses to increase revenues from vacation rentals, and their failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We are actively seeking to increase revenues from vacation rentals. In furtherance of these efforts, we acquired RQH in May 2007. Through RQH, we consistently seek opportunities to solidify and expand upon our existing base of managed property owners through the critical evaluation and improvement of the property management services made available to managed property owners. In

33



addition, in an effort to better identify and secure (and ultimately rent more) available vacation rental properties, RQH actively seeks to own or lease the front desks of its managed properties and to manage each property's homeowners' association. However, these efforts may not increase the number of available vacation rentals or related revenues or the property management services provided by RQH may not continue to be attractive to vacation property owners. Interval is also actively seeking to provide vacation rental services to resorts participating in its exchange networks. Our businesses, however, may be unable to secure accommodations from developers on favorable terms, or we may be unable to rent such accommodations to our members or other vacationers. Our failure to increase revenues from vacation rentals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Maintenance of Systems and Infrastructure—Our success depends, in part, on the integrity of our systems and infrastructures. System interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in these systems and infrastructures may have an adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

        Our success depends, in part, on our ability to maintain the integrity of our systems and infrastructures, including websites, information and related systems, call centers and distribution and fulfillment facilities. System interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in our information systems and infrastructures may adversely affect our ability to operate websites, process and fulfill transactions, respond to customer inquiries and generally maintain cost-efficient operations. We may experience occasional system interruptions that make some or all systems or data unavailable or prevent our businesses from efficiently providing services or fulfilling orders. We also rely on affiliate and third-party computer systems, broadband and other communications systems and service providers in connection with the provision of services generally, as well as to facilitate, process and fulfill transactions. Any interruptions, outages or delays in our systems and infrastructures, our businesses, our affiliates and/or third parties, or deterioration in the performance of these systems and infrastructures, could impair the ability of our businesses to provide services, fulfill orders and/or process transactions. Fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God and similar events or disruptions may damage or interrupt computer, broadband or other communications systems and infrastructures at any time. Any of these events could cause system interruption, delays and loss of critical data, and could prevent our businesses from providing services, fulfilling orders and/or processing transactions. While our businesses have backup systems for certain aspects of their operations, these systems are not fully redundant and disaster recovery planning is not sufficient for all eventualities. In addition, we may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate for losses from a major interruption. If any of these adverse events were to occur, it could adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

        In addition, any penetration of network security or other misappropriation or misuse of personal consumer information could cause interruptions in the operations of our businesses and subject us to increased costs, litigation and other liabilities. Claims could also be made against us for other misuse of personal information, such as for unauthorized purposes or identity theft, which could result in litigation and financial liabilities, as well as administrative action from governmental authorities. Security breaches could also significantly damage our reputation with consumers and third parties with whom we do business. It is possible that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries, undetected fraud, inadvertent violations of company policies or procedures or other developments could result in a compromise of information or a breach of the technology and security processes that are used to protect consumer transaction data. As a result, current security measures may not prevent any or all security breaches. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against and remedy any potential or existing security breaches and their consequences. We also face risks associated with security breaches affecting third parties with which we are affiliated or otherwise conduct business online. Consumers are generally concerned with security and privacy of the internet, and any publicized security problems affecting our businesses and/or those of third parties may

34



discourage consumers from doing business with us, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Privacy—The processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights.

        In the processing of consumer transactions, our businesses receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other user data. The sharing, use, disclosure and protection of this information are governed by the privacy and data security policies maintained by us and our businesses. Moreover, there are federal, state and international laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and user data. Specifically, personally identifiable information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. We could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in business practices or privacy policies, or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our businesses may also become exposed to potential liabilities as a result of differing views on the privacy of consumer and other user data collected by these businesses. Our failure, and/or the failure by the various third party vendors and service providers with which we do business, to comply with applicable privacy policies or federal, state or similar international laws and regulations or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information or other user data could damage the reputation of these businesses, discourage potential users from trying our products and services and/or result in fines and/or proceedings by governmental agencies and/or consumers, one or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Intellectual Property—We may fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.

        We may fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties. We regard our intellectual property rights, including patents, service marks, trademarks and domain names, copyrights, trade secrets and similar intellectual property (as applicable), as critical to our success. Our businesses also rely heavily upon software codes, informational databases and other components that make up their products and services.

        We rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions with employees, customers, suppliers, affiliates and others to establish and protect these proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use trade secret or copyrighted intellectual property without authorization which, if discovered, might require legal action to correct. In addition, third parties may independently and lawfully develop substantially similar intellectual properties.

        We have generally registered and continue to apply to register, or secure by contract when appropriate, our trademarks and service marks as they are developed and used, and reserve and register domain names as we deem appropriate. We generally consider the protection of our trademarks to be important for purposes of brand maintenance and reputation. While we vigorously protect our trademarks, service marks and domain names, effective trademark protection may not be available or may not be sought in every country in which products and services are made available, and contractual disputes may affect the use of marks governed by private contract. Similarly, not every variation of a domain name may be available or be registered, even if available. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights in a meaningful manner or challenges to related contractual rights could result in erosion of brand names and limit our ability of to control marketing on or through the

35



internet using our various domain names or otherwise, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Patent litigation tends to be particularly protracted and expensive.

THE TRANSACTIONS

The Separation

        On August 20, 2008, IAC completed the separation into five separate, publicly traded companies via the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Spincos, each previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC. At the time of the spin-offs, the Spincos held directly or indirectly the assets and liabilities associated with the following businesses:

    HSNi: HSN TV, HSN.com, and the Cornerstone Brands, Inc. portfolio of catalogs, websites and retail locations;

    ILG: the businesses currently comprising IAC's Interval segment;

    Ticketmaster: Ticketmaster's primary domestic and international operations, as well as certain investments in unconsolidated affiliates; and

    Tree.com: the businesses currently comprising IAC's Lending and Real Estate segments.

        Prior to the spin-offs, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and several other agreements with IAC and the other Spincos to effect the separation of the Spincos and provide a framework for the relationships of the Spincos with IAC and each other. Immediately following the spin-offs, IAC stockholders owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of each of the Spincos.

        In connection with certain internal restructuring steps implemented in contemplation of and in order for IAC to complete the Spin-Off of ILG and the other Spincos, on August 20, 2008, IAC transferred to ILG all of the outstanding stock of Interval Acquisition Corp., which, directly and through its subsidiaries, holds ownership interests in those entities and assets through which the businesses of ILG are conducted, and the assets of ILG are held.

Transfers to IAC and the Financing

        In connection with the spin-offs, Interval Acquisition Corp., which is a former subsidiary of IAC and became a subsidiary of ILG prior to the spin-offs, distributed to IAC approximately $89.4 million in cash borrowed under a newly-established senior secured credit facility described in more detail below and issued the $300 million of old notes. The issuance of the old notes and entering into of the senior secured credit facility are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the "financing." In connection with the spin-off of ILG, IAC agreed to exchange the old notes for certain of IAC's 7% Senior Notes due 2013 pursuant to the Notes Exchange and Consent Agreement described below. Interval Acquisition Corp., as the borrowing subsidiary of ILG, also paid a dividend to IAC prior to the spin-offs of all net receivables owed to it by IAC and its affiliates.

        These dividends and cash contributions were determined by IAC after an assessment of the optimal capital structure for ILG and for IAC, taking into account each company's cash flow prospects, working capital and other cash needs, potential acquisition agenda and other relevant factors.

ILG Senior Secured Credit Facilities

        Interval Acquisition Corp. is the borrower under the new senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities are provided by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions, with Wachovia Bank acting as lead lender. The senior secured credit facilities provide financing of up to $200.0 million, consisting of $150.0 million in term A loans with a maturity of five years and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of five years. In addition, subject to certain conditions, including compliance with certain financial covenants, the senior secured credit facilities permit Interval Acquisition Corp. to incur incremental term A and revolving loans under such facilities

37



in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million. There is currently no commitment in respect of such incremental loans.

        The proceeds of the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facilities were used to fund a dividend to IAC, to fund transaction fees and expenses and for ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. Funds drawn from the revolving credit facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

        All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by ILG and each of Interval Acquisition Corp.'s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. All obligations of Interval Acquisition Corp. under the senior secured credit facilities and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by (subject to certain exceptions) (i) a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of (x) each of the domestic subsidiaries of Interval Acquisition Corp. and (y) Interval Acquisition Corp.; (ii) a first priority pledge of 65% of the equity interests of each of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of Interval Acquisition Corp.; and (iii) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the other assets of Interval Acquisition Corp. and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions).

        See "Description of Certain Indebtedness" below for additional information.

The Notes Exchange and Consent Agreement

        Interval Acquisition Corp. entered into a Notes Exchange and Consent Agreement with IAC and a group of institutional holders (the "IAC Noteholders") holding a majority in principal amount outstanding of IAC's 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "IAC Notes"), pursuant to which, among other things, IAC exchanged, immediately after the spin-off of ILG, all of the old notes for a portion of the IAC Notes held by certain of the IAC Noteholders, and certain of the IAC Noteholders tendered a portion of their IAC Notes into IAC's then pending cash tender offer for any and all of the IAC Notes (the "IAC Offer"). IAC also agreed to make specified amendments to the terms of the IAC Offer. The issuance and exchange of the old notes, together with the IAC Offer, were made in connection with the spin-off of ILG, and were intended to give rise to a succession event (with Interval Acquisition Corp. as the sole successor to IAC) for credit derivatives purposes.

38



USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. Because we are exchanging the new notes for the old notes, which have substantially identical terms, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. The old notes, for which we incurred expenses of approximately $7.4 million, were issued as a distribution to IAC, which then exchanged them with certain holders of its notes in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Agreement. The Exchange Agreement established an exchange rate based on the amount IAC was offering for the IAC Notes in its tender offer, as amended by the Exchange Agreement. This exchange rate resulted in the IAC noteholders receiving a principal amount of the old notes equal to the agreed upon value of the IAC Notes tendered, plus a cash payment with respect to a consent to certain matters provided by the Noteholders and any accrued and unpaid interest on the IAC Notes.

        We also used the net proceeds from the senior secured credit facilities to make a cash dividend to IAC and for general corporate purposes. See "The Transactions."

39



CAPITALIZATION

        The following table presents our consolidated cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2008 on an historical basis and on an unaudited pro forma basis for the separation, the financing and the application of proceeds therefrom. The borrower under the financings is Interval Acquisition Corp. Following the financing, Interval Acquisition Corp. paid a dividend to IAC, after which Interval Acquisition Corp. was contributed to ILG. The dividend consisted of approximately $89.4 million in cash and $300.0 million of aggregate principal face amount of the old notes. This structure was utilized principally because ILG believed it would provide greater financial and transactional flexibility. Pro forma for the separation and the financing includes the $450.0 million in indebtedness that Interval Acquisition Corp. incurred. In connection with the separation, ILG distributed the net proceeds of the financing and the old notes to IAC except for $50.0 million which it retained. ILG also retained its international cash which was approximately $74.9 million as of June 30, 2008. The separation of ILG and the related financing transactions are described in the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as if the separation and the related transactions and events had been consummated on June 30, 2008.

        The exchange offer will have no effect on our outstanding indebtedness nor result in additional proceeds to us. The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes in the exchange offer will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued.

        The assumptions used and pro forma adjustments derived from such assumptions are based on currently available information and ILG believes such assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances.

        This table should be read in conjunction with "Selected Historical Financial Data," "The Transactions," "Use of Proceeds," "Description of Certain Indebtedness," "Description of New Notes," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the consolidated financial statements of ILG and the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and accompanying notes included in this prospectus.

        The table below is not necessarily indicative of ILG's cash and cash equivalents and capitalization had the separation and the related financing transactions been completed on June 30, 2008. The capitalization table below may not reflect the capitalization or financial condition which would have resulted had ILG been operating as an independent, publicly-traded company at that date and is not necessarily indicative of ILG's future capitalization or financial condition.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

        Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 through 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 was as follows:

 
   
  Fiscal Year Ended December 31,  
 
  Six Months Ended
June 30, 2008
 
 
  2007   2006   2005   2004   2003  

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

    42.5     34.6     28.2     23.5     14.0     6.0  

        The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been calculated by dividing ILG and its consolidated subsidiaries' (1) earnings before income taxes and minority interest plus fixed charges by (2) fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and a portion (approximately 33%) of rental expense that management believes is representative of the interest component of rental expense.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a)
In connection with the separation, ILG raised $150 million through a secured credit facility (the "Term Loan"). In addition, ILG negotiated a $50 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The total costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Interval Senior Notes") and borrowings under the Term Loan and establishing the Revolver are estimated to be $13.5 million. The net proceeds are approximately $136.5 million. The Interval Senior Notes have a maturity of eight years from the date of issuance and the Term Loan and Revolver have five years terms. The interest rate on the Interval Senior Notes is 9.5% and LIBOR plus 2.75% for the Term Loan. The Revolver has a fee of 0.50% for the unused portion.

(b)
To effect the terms of the separation as follows:

(i)
The transfer of approximately $90.7 million in cash to IAC prior to ILG's separation from IAC, $89.4 million of which is from the financing referred to in note (a) above and $1.3 million of which was excess U.S. cash. ILG retained $50 million in proceeds from the financings as well as its international cash, which was approximately $74.9 million as of June 30, 2008;

(ii)
The transfer of $300 million of aggregate principal amount of the Interval Senior Notes, net of $23.5 million of original issue discount;

(iii)
The extinguishment of the receivable from IAC and subsidiaries; and

(iv)
The issuance of 56.2 million shares to effect the transfer of the ownership of ILG from IAC to IAC's shareholders at an exchange ratio of 1/5th of a share of ILG for each share of IAC and the number of IAC common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2008 before giving effect to the 1 for 2 reverse stock split of IAC shares that was effected in connection with the separation.

(c)
ILG expects to incur additional cost related to being a stand-alone, public company. These costs have been estimated to be $8.3 million on an annual basis. These costs relate to the following:
    additional personnel including accounting, tax, treasury, internal audit and legal personnel;

    professional fees associated with audits, tax and other services;

    increased insurance premiums;

    increased health and welfare benefit costs;

    costs associated with a board of directors;

    increased franchise taxes, stock exchange listing fees, fees for preparing and distributing periodic filings with the SEC; and

    other administrative costs and fees.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        The total costs referred to above were compared to the corporate allocations from IAC for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 in order to determine the incremental costs expected to be incurred for each period as follows:

 
  Six Months Ended
June 30, 2008
  Year Ended
December 31, 2007
 
 
  (In thousands)
 

Estimated stand-alone, public company costs

  $ 3,993   $ 8,345  

Less: corporate allocations

    (531 )   (1,033 )
           

Incremental costs of being a stand-alone, public company

  $ 3,462   $ 7,312  
           

The significant assumptions involved in arriving at these estimates include:

      the number of additional personnel required to operate as a public company and the compensation level with respect to each position;

      the level of additional assistance ILG will require from professional service providers; and

      the increase in insurance premiums as a stand-alone public company; the increase in health and welfare costs as a stand-alone entity; and the type and level of other costs expected to be incurred in connection with being a stand-alone, public company.

      This amount excludes the $1.1 million of estimated one-time recruiting fees; professional fees for legal and tax services (e.g. initial benefit plan design); and other costs (e.g. initial stock exchange listing fees) expected to be incurred in initially establishing ILG as a stand-alone, public company. These costs are therefore not expected to recur.

      The information presented above in note (c), with respect to the costs that ILG expects to incur as a stand-alone, public company, is forward looking information within the meaning of "forward-looking statements" as described on pages 2 and 3 of this prospectus.

(d)
To reflect the additional compensation expense associated with equity-based awards were granted upon consummation of the separation.

    The awards related to the consummation of the separation were granted to certain members of executive management of ILG in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The issuance of these awards was contingent upon the consummation of the separation. The expense related to these awards is included as a pro forma adjustment because they will vest over four years and will therefore have an impact on the ongoing operations of ILG. The aggregate estimated value of the awards is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the four year vesting period of the awards. This does not reflect non-recurring compensation expense related to modifications of existing IAC RSUs made in connection with the separation described below.

    The modification related to IAC issued RSUs relates to the accelerated vesting, upon the consummation of the separation, of all RSUs granted prior to August 8, 2005 and all awards that were scheduled to vest prior to February 28, 2009. The estimated expense of $3.3 million is the previously unrecognized expense associated with these awards. The expense is treated as non-recurring because after the separation no future service is required with respect to these awards.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

    There may be additional stock-based awards granted in connection with the separation but the amount of such awards, if any, has not yet been determined and no expense with respect thereto has been reflected herein.

(e)
To reflect the elimination of intercompany interest income allocated by IAC to ILG.

(f)
This reflects the incremental interest expense related to the financing referred to in note (a) and the issuance of the Interval Senior Notes described in note (b) above. It includes interest expense at an effective rate of 11.0% on the Interval Senior Notes and LIBOR plus 2.75% on the Term Loan, LIBOR is assumed to be 2.80%, the aggregate assumed rate is therefore 5.55%. It also reflects expense at 0.50% on the Revolver which is assumed to be unused. The interest expense calculation includes the amortization of debt issuance costs over the applicable term of each portion of the financing. The interest rates are based upon current assumptions, which with respect to the Interval Senior Notes is based upon the estimated pricing of the Interval Senior Notes on July 17, 2008. An assumed 25 basis point change in the interest rate would result in an increase or decrease to interest expense of $0.8 million for the Interval Senior Notes and $0.4 million for the Term Loan.

(g)
To reflect the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at an assumed effective tax rate of 38.7% which represents a federal statutory tax rate of 35% and a state effective statutory tax rate of 3.7%.

(h)
Earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding reflect the historical number of common shares used to calculate IAC's earnings per share, adjusted based on the exchange ratio of 1/5th of a share of ILG for each share of IAC before giving effect to the 1 for 2 reverse stock split for IAC shares that was effected in connection with the separation. These amounts reflect the outstanding equity-based awards that were included in IAC's dilutive earnings per share calculation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion describes the financial condition and results of operations of ILG (and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Interval Acquisition Corp.) as though ILG were a separate company as of the dates and for the periods presented and includes the businesses, assets and liabilities that comprise ILG following the spin-off.

Spin-Off

        On November 5, 2007, IAC announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies, identifying ILG as one of those five companies. We refer to the separation transaction herein as the "spin-off." In connection with the spin-off, ILG was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in May 2008. As of June 30, 2008, ILG did not have any material assets or liabilities, or engage in any business or other activities and, other than in connection with the spin-off, will not acquire or incur any material assets or liabilities, nor will it engage in any business or other activities. Since completion of the spin-off on August 20, 2008, ILG consists of Interval and ResortQuest Hawaii and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, collectively referred to herein as "RQH," which was acquired on May 31, 2007, the businesses that formerly comprised IAC's Interval segment. The businesses operated by ILG following the spin-off are referred to herein as the "ILG Businesses."

Basis of Presentation

        The historical consolidated financial statements of ILG and its subsidiaries and the disclosure set forth in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflect the contribution or other transfer to ILG of all of the subsidiaries and assets and the assumption by ILG of all of the liabilities relating to the ILG Businesses in connection with the spin-off, and the allocation to ILG of certain IAC corporate expenses relating to the ILG Businesses. Accordingly, the historical consolidated financial statements of ILG reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the ILG Businesses since their respective dates of acquisition by IAC, based on the historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records of IAC and using the historical results of operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of the ILG Businesses with the exception of accounting for income taxes. For purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed for ILG on an as if stand-alone, separate tax return basis. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

        In the opinion of ILG's management, the assumptions underlying the historical consolidated financial statements of ILG are reasonable. However, this financial information does not necessarily reflect what the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ILG would have been had ILG been a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

Management Overview

        ILG is a leading provider of membership services, primarily to the vacation ownership industry, through Interval. With the acquisition of RQH in May 2007, ILG also entered the vacation rental and property management services industry.

Sources of Revenue

        Vacation ownership membership services revenue is generated primarily from membership fees and transactional fees paid for exchange and Getaway transactions (i.e., confirmed vacations). Interval typically enters into multi-year contracts with developers of vacation ownership resorts, pursuant to which the developers agree to enroll all purchasers of vacation interests at the applicable resort as

50



members of Interval's exchange programs. In return, Interval provides enrolled purchasers with the ability to exchange the use and occupancy of their vacation interest at the home resort (generally for periods of one week) for the right to occupy accommodations at a different resort participating in Interval's network or at the same resort during a different period of occupancy. Members are also generally eligible to participate in the program's other value-added member services. Resort developers generally remit Interval's initial basic membership fee and, where applicable, upgraded membership fees, on behalf of their respective owners for membership periods ranging from one to five years at the time the vacation interests are sold. In most cases, vacation interest owners are responsible for renewing their memberships and paying related fees. However, some resort developers have incorporated Interval's membership fees into their annual assessments and these owners' memberships are renewed annually by the developer during the period of the resort's participation in the Interval network. In connection with its vacation ownership membership services business, Interval also provides travel-related services for members residing in the United States and the United Kingdom directly and in other selected servicing regions through the use of third parties, as well as support, consulting and back-office services for developers participating in the Interval exchange programs. Through Interval's Getaway program, members may rent resort accommodations for a fee, plus applicable taxes, without relinquishing the use of their vacation interests. For the year ended December 31, 2007, ILG's vacation ownership membership services business represented 88% of its revenue.

        ILG, through RQH, also provides vacation rental and property management services for owners of condominium hotels and hotel management services to owners of traditional hotels. Revenue from RQH is derived principally from management fees for vacation rental services and property management services. Property management fees consist of a base management fee and, in some instances, an incentive fee. Property management agreements may provide that owners receive a specified portion of the revenue generated while the relevant properties are under RQH management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operation are paid from the revenue generated by the accommodations rentals. The owners are then paid their contractual percentages, and RQH either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or is required to make up the deficit. Revenue is also derived from fees for hotel management services. For the year ended December 31, 2007, ILG's vacation rental and property management services business represented 12% of its consolidated revenue for the seven month period following RQH's acquisition on May 31, 2007.

Channels of Distribution; Marketing Costs

        ILG markets and offers services directly to customers through call centers and branded websites allowing customers to transact directly with ILG in a convenient manner. ILG also markets its value-added, operational and sales and marketing support services directly to developers and the benefits of membership directly to prospective members. ILG also markets and distributes its services through its various customer and industry publications and through third party distribution channels, including, without limitation, online travel intermediaries and, to a limited degree, via internet search engines.

Access to Supply

        ILG's vacation ownership membership services business is dependent upon vacation ownership developers for new members and resort accommodations for use in confirmed vacations, as well as upon members to renew their existing memberships. Its vacation rental and property management business is dependent upon vacation property owners and hotels for vacation properties to manage and rent to vacationers. ILG's businesses have established strong relationships with resort developers, members and managed property owners pursuant to contractual arrangements, although there are no assurances that these historical relationships will continue beyond their contractual term in the future.

51


International Operations

        ILG continues to seek to expand its vacation ownership membership services business abroad, especially in the Middle East and Asia. International revenue grew approximately 15% in 2007 from 2006. However, as a percentage of total ILG revenue, international revenue was approximately 16% in 2007 and approximately 18% in both 2006 and 2005. This decrease is due to domestic revenue growing at a faster rate during this time period primarily due to the acquisition of RQH in 2007.

Economic and Other Trends and Events; Industry Specific Factors

        Growth in the vacation ownership membership services industry is driven primarily by the number of vacation interests sold to new purchasers. At the outset of 2008, the number of U.S.-based households owning vacation interests increased to approximately 4.7 million, an increase of approximately 300,000 households, from the number reported for the beginning of 2007. Long-term growth is expected to be driven by: (i) increased consumer awareness and acceptance of the value and benefits of the ownership of vacation interests (ii) adoption of constructive legislation and regulations internationally that improve consumer protection and allow businesses to operate profitably; (iii) the entry of additional independent developers and brand-name hospitality companies into the vacation ownership industry, which will increase the number of vacation interests available for sale; and (iv) reported demand for vacation ownership products in the U.S. The vacation ownership membership services industry growth is also driven by the continued development and offering of new vacation ownership accommodations and alternative vacation ownership related products.

        ILG believes that the overall supply of vacation rental properties has been increasing as a result of the growth in second/vacation home ownership and the increasing desire among many owners to rent their properties for additional income. An increasing percentage of vacation home purchasers have cited the ability to generate rental income as a motivating factor for their purchase decision. Property management and vacation rental companies facilitate the rental process by handling most, if not all, aspects of interaction with vacationers. ILG believes growth in the marketplace has been due, in some part, to the numbers of resorts entering the condo space as a means to capitalize on overall property construction through the upfront sales of vacation condos. Condominium accommodations typically provide substantial value to the consumer seeking more than a nightly stay, as they offer families greater space and convenience than a traditional hotel room by offering separate living, sleeping and eating quarters. Continued interest in leisure travel, as well as improved product awareness and customer convenience through direct and indirect online distribution channels, may also drive this growth.

        Revenue in 2007 increased $71.8 million, or 25%, from 2006 primarily due to the acquisition of RQH on May 31, 2007, which contributed $42.0 million to ILG's revenue in 2007. Excluding RQH, revenue grew 10%. This was driven by a 13% growth in revenue from confirmed vacations and a 10% increase in membership revenue. Confirmed vacations revenue, which includes transactional fees paid for exchange and Getaway transactions (i.e. vacations), increased due to a 6% increase in volume, as

52



well as a higher average fee compared to the prior year. Membership revenue grew due to a 6% increase in active members reflecting strong new member growth combined with a sustained retention rate. Total active members increased by 0.1 million from 2006 to approximately 2.0 million.

        Revenue in 2006 increased $27.8 million, or 11%, from 2005 primarily due to a 5% increase in confirmed vacations and higher average fees in the vacation ownership membership services business. Total active members increased 4% to nearly 1.9 million.

        ILG cannot say with certainty how an additional increase in fees for vacations in 2008 would impact growth of vacation ownership interests. Historically, when ILG has increased fees its active members and confirmed vacations have continued to increase.

Gross margins

    72 %   (500 ) bp   77 %   34   bp   77 %

        Cost of sales consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in servicing Interval's members as well as the cost of rental inventory for confirmed vacations. In 2007, due to the acquisition of RQH, cost of sales also includes compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in providing services to property owners and/or guests.

        Cost of sales in 2007 increased $34.5 million from 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH, which contributed $29.6 million to ILG's cost of sales. Gross margins decreased 6% principally due to the inclusion of RQH. Excluding the impact of RQH, cost of sales increased $4.9 million in 2007 primarily due to an increase of $4.6 million in the cost of rental inventory for use in confirmed vacations.

        Cost of sales in 2006 increased $5.5 million from 2005, primarily due to an increase of $2.3 million in the cost of rental inventory for confirmed vacations and an increase of $1.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs associated, in part, with an increase in contract labor related to outsourced home-based call center agents.

As a percentage of total revenue

    13 %   (171 ) bp   14 %   (31 ) bp   15 %

        Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of commission expense, advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in sales and sales support functions. Advertising and promotional expenditures primarily include printing and postage costs of directories and magazines, promotions, tradeshows and agency fees.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2007 increased $4.2 million from 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH, which contributed $2.0 million to ILG's selling and marketing expense. Excluding the impact of RQH, selling and marketing expense increased $2.2 million in 2007 primarily due to an

53


increase in compensation and other employee-related costs, partially offset by lower advertising and promotional expenditures.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2006 increased $3.2 million from 2005, primarily due to increases of $2.1 million in commission expense and $0.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs. The increase in commission expense is principally driven by the increase in revenue described above.

As a percentage of total revenue

    20 %   (137 ) bp   21 %   (23 ) bp   22 %

        General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in finance, legal, tax, human resources, information technology and executive management functions, facilities costs and fees for professional services.

        General and administrative expense in 2007 increased $10.4 million from 2006, primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs, as well as the impact of the RQH acquisition in 2007, which contributed $2.9 million to ILG's general and administrative expense. Excluding the impact of RQH, general and administrative expense increased $7.5 million in 2007 primarily due to an increase of $6.2 million in compensation and other employee-related costs associated, in part, with an 8% increase in headcount. ILG expects to incur increased costs related to the additional financial and legal requirements associated with being a separate public company, as well as increased non-cash compensation associated with the modification of existing stock-based compensation awards in connection with the spin-off and the grant of new awards post spin-off.

        General and administrative expense in 2006 increased $5.3 million from 2005, primarily due to increases of $2.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, $0.5 million in facility costs and $0.5 million in professional fees. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in non-cash compensation expense. This non-cash compensation expense is related to equity awards granted by IAC to employees of ILG and is recorded over the vesting period of the awards.

        Effective January 1, 2006, ILG adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method. There was no impact to the amount of stock-based compensation recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as ILG had previously adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). The majority of stock-based compensation expense is reflected in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $14.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years.

        Depreciation in 2007 increased $0.6 million from 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH. Excluding the impact of RQH, depreciation in 2007 was relatively flat.

        Depreciation in 2006 increased $0.5 million from 2005, primarily due to the incremental depreciation associated with certain information technology projects that were placed in service during late 2005 and 2006.

Operating Income Before Amortization

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2007 increased $22.4 million from 2006, growing at a slower rate than revenue due primarily to the inclusion of the results of RQH in 2007. Excluding the impact of RQH, Operating Income Before Amortization grew to $129.9 million. This increase is due to the higher revenue noted above and lower advertising and promotional expenditures, partially offset by increases of $7.5 million in general and administrative expense and $4.9 million in cost of sales.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2006 increased $15.3 million from 2005, primarily due to the higher revenue noted above and, to a lesser extent, improved operating efficiencies. Vacations confirmed online were 24% during 2006 compared with 21% in 2005. Operating Income Before Amortization was also impacted by increases of $5.3 million in general and administrative expense and $2.3 million in advertising and promotional expenditures.

        Operating income in 2007 increased $20.4 million from 2006, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in amortization of intangibles and an increase in non-cash compensation expense. RQH contributed $4.1 million to ILG's operating income in 2007. The increase in amortization of intangibles results from the acquisition of RQH, partially offset by certain intangible assets being fully amortized in 2007.

        Operating income in 2006 increased $13.3 million from 2005, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in non-cash compensation expense.

        Interest income in 2007 increased $1.4 million from 2006, primarily due to higher receivable balances due from IAC and subsidiaries, as well as increased interest earned on higher average cash balances in 2007. Interest income in 2006 increased $2.4 million from 2005 primarily due to higher receivable balances due from IAC and subsidiaries. The increase in the receivable balance is principally due to cash transfers to IAC in connection with IAC's centrally managed U.S. treasury function.

Income Tax Provision

        ILG recorded income tax provisions of $45.0 million, $35.9 million and $29.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 39%, 38% and 37%, respectively. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

        ILG adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48") effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of the adoption resulted in an increase of $0.2 million to retained earnings. As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $4.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, which included accrued interest of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

        By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known.

        The IRS is currently examining the IAC consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003, which includes the operations of Interval from September 24, 2002, its date of acquisition by IAC. The statute of limitations for these years has been extended to December 31, 2008. Tax filings in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are Florida, New York state and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001. These examinations are expected to be completed by late 2008. ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $2.9 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized benefits cannot be made, but are not expected to be significant.

        Under the terms of the tax sharing agreement executed in connection with the spin-off, IAC generally retained the liability related to federal and state tax returns filed on a consolidated or unitary basis for all periods prior to the spin-off.

        Revenue in 2008 increased $17.3 million, or 20%, from 2007, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH on May 31, 2007, which contributed $14.5 million and $5.7 million to ILG's revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding RQH, revenue grew 11%. This was driven by an 11% increase in membership revenue and a 10% growth in revenue from confirmed vacations. Membership revenue grew due to a 4% increase in active members in addition to an increase in average membership fees.

        Confirmed vacations revenue, which primarily includes transactional fees paid for exchange and Getaway transactions (i.e. vacations), increased due to a 6% increase in volume as well as higher fees compared to the prior year period. Total active members increased by 0.1 million from 2007 to approximately 2.0 million.

        Revenue in 2008 increased $46.8 million, or 27%, from 2007, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH on May 31, 2007, which contributed $33.6 million and $5.7 million to ILG's revenue in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding RQH, revenue grew 11%. This was driven by a 12% growth in revenue from confirmed vacations and a 10% increase in membership revenue. Both confirmed vacations revenue and membership revenue grew primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Cost of sales consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stockbased compensation) for personnel engaged in servicing Interval's members as well as the cost of rental inventory for confirmed vacations. Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, due to the acquisition of RQH, cost of sales also includes compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in providing services to property owners and/or guests.

        Cost of sales in 2008 increased $11.8 million from 2007, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH, which contributed $11.3 million and $4.0 million to ILG's cost of sales in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gross margins decreased 7% principally due to the inclusion of RQH. RQH has lower gross margins than Interval primarily due to higher revenue and the related compensation and other employee-related costs directly associated with managing properties. Excluding the impact of RQH, cost of sales increased $4.5 million in 2008 primarily due to increases of $2.4 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, $0.8 million in postage and freight costs related to membership fulfillment and $0.7 million in the cost of rental inventory for use in confirmed vacations. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is due, in part, to a 19% increase in headcount primarily associated with servicing a new contract, a portion of which is in advance of revenue from such contract.

        Cost of sales in 2008 increased $28.9 million from 2007, primarily due to the acquisition of RQH, which contributed $24.0 million and $4.0 million to ILG's cost of sales in 2008 and 2007. Gross margins decreased 8% principally due to the inclusion of RQH. Excluding the impact of RQH, cost of sales increased $8.9 million in 2008 primarily due to increases of $4.4 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, $2.0 million in the cost of rental inventory for use in confirmed vacations and $1.1 million in postage and freight costs related to membership fulfillment. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is due, in part, to increased headcount to service additional members, including a new contract as described above in the three month discussion and an increase in contract labor related to outsourced home-based call center agents.

        Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of commission expense, advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in sales and sales support functions. Advertising and promotional expenditures primarily include printing costs of directories and magazines, promotions, tradeshows and agency fees.

58


        Selling and marketing expense in 2008 increased $2.1 million from 2007, primarily due to increased advertising and promotional expenditures and printing costs related to membership fulfillment, as well as the impact of the RQH acquisition, which contributed $0.9 million and $0.3 million to ILG's selling and marketing expense in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding the impact of RQH, selling and marketing expense increased $1.5 million. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures is due, in part, to the timing of an industry tradeshow which occurred in the first quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2008.

Excluding the impact of RQH, selling and marketing expense increased $1.1 million in 2008 primarily due to higher printing costs related to membership fulfillment.

        General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in finance, legal, tax, human resources, information technology and executive management functions, facilities costs and fees for professional services.

        General and administrative expense in 2008 increased $2.9 million from 2007, primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs, as well as the impact of the RQH acquisition, which contributed $1.2 million and $0.3 million to ILG's general and administrative expense in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding the impact of RQH, general and administrative expense increased $2.0 million in 2008 primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in compensation and other employee-related costs associated, in part, with a 6% increase in headcount. Included in this increase in headcount is the impact of hiring additional employees in anticipation of the spin-off. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense is an increase in professional fees primarily due to information technology related costs and additional expenses associated with preparing to become a public company. ILG expects to incur increased costs related to the additional financial and legal requirements associated with being a separate public company, as well as increased non-cash compensation associated with the modification of existing stock-based compensation awards in connection with the spin-off and the grant of new awards in connection with and subsequent to the spin-off.

        General and administrative expense includes non-cash compensation expense of $1.4 million in 2008 compared with $0.8 million in 2007. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued subsequent to the second quarter of 2007. As of June 30, 2008, there was

59



approximately $15.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years (exclusive of the impact of the modification related to the spin-off, which consists of the accelerated vesting of certain unvested restricted stock units).

        General and administrative expense in 2008 increased $7.1 million from 2007, primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs, as well as the impact of the RQH acquisition, which contributed $2.5 million and $0.3 million to ILG's general and administrative expense in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding the impact of RQH, general and administrative expense increased $4.9 million in 2008 primarily due to increases of $3.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense is an increase in professional fees as described above in the three month discussion. General and administrative expense includes non-cash compensation expense of $2.6 million in 2008 compared with $1.1 million in 2007. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued subsequent to the second quarter of 2007.

        Depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily due to the incremental depreciation associated with capital expenditures made after the second quarter 2007 and the acquisition of RQH. Excluding the impact of RQH, depreciation increased $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2008 increased $0.8 million from 2007, growing at a slower rate than revenue due primarily to the inclusion of the results of RQH, which was adversely impacted by a double digit decrease in flights to Hawaii during the second quarter of 2008, due in part to the bankruptcy of two low cost airlines serving the region and the downturn in the general economic conditions of the Hawaiian travel and leisure industry. Also impacting Operating Income Before Amortization is higher operating expenses, primarily increased selling and marketing expense related to the shift in the timing of an industry conference, higher general and administrative expense related to preparing to become a public company and increased cost of sales associated with personnel and training costs to service a new contract in advance of revenue from such contract. Excluding the impact of RQH, Operating Income Before Amortization grew 3% to $33.6 million.

Excluding the impact of RQH, Operating Income Before Amortization grew 7% to $76.5 million. This increase is due to the higher revenue noted above, partially offset by increases of $8.9 million in cost of sales and $4.9 million in general and administrative expense.

RQH contributed an operating loss of $0.4 million and operating income of $1.0 million to ILG's operating income in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

        The decrease in flights to Hawaii and the downturn in the general economic conditions of the Hawaiian travel and leisure industry referred to above is expected to continue to adversely impact results, at least in the near-term.

RQH contributed $2.2 million and $1.0 million to ILG's operating income in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Tax Provision

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

        For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, ILG recorded tax provisions of $11.9 million and $10.8 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 38%. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

        For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, ILG recorded tax provisions of $27.5 million and $24.0 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 38%. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

        As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $5.7 million. Included in unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2008 is approximately $4.9 million for tax positions included in IAC's consolidated tax return filings that will remain a liability of IAC after the spin-off. ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is $0.1 million, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2008, ILG has accrued $1.8 million for the payment of interest. There are no material accruals for penalties.

        By virtue of previously filed separate ILG and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known. ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $2.9 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but are not expected to be significant.

        Under the terms of the tax sharing agreement, executed on August 20, 2008 in connection with the spin-off, IAC will generally retain the liability related to federal and state returns filed on a consolidated or unitary basis for all periods prior to the spin-off.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

        ILG had $72.9 million and $81.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents, $64.8 million and $75.1 million of which is held in foreign jurisdictions, principally the United Kingdom, and is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates, as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The majority of ILG's cash is in the United Kingdom due to its participation in IAC's centrally managed treasury function in the U.S., its European businesses

62



operating through licensing arrangements with its United Kingdom entity and the reinvestment of the related earnings in the United Kingdom. ILG conducts business in one foreign country where a currency restriction exists. At June 30, 2008, ILG had $6.2 million of cash which can only be repatriated upon the approval of that country's government. ILG has requested approval for a portion of the cash to be repatriated. This request is currently pending.

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $125.6 million and $106.4 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase of $19.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities is principally due to higher net income and increased deferred revenue. These items were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $75.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $69.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was principally due to an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities primarily related to the timing of payments on vendor invoices and higher accrued purchased space, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable related to various renegotiated contracts in 2008 and a smaller contribution from deferred revenue.

        Net cash used in investing activities in 2007 of $208.9 million primarily resulted from acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $114.1 million, cash transfers to IAC of $84.5 million and capital expenditures of $10.3 million. The cash transfers to IAC relate to IAC's centrally managed U.S. treasury function. Net cash used in investing activities in 2006 of $110.2 was primarily related to cash transfers to IAC of $103.6 million and capital expenditures of $6.7 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended 2008 of $66.6 million primarily resulted from cash transfers to IAC of $61.9 million and capital expenditures of $5.6 million. The cash transfers to IAC relate to IAC's centrally managed U.S. treasury function. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $46.4 million was related to acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $109.4 million and capital expenditures of $3.9 million, partially offset by cash transfers from IAC of $66.9 million. Acquisitions, net of cash acquired, in 2007 relates to the acquisition of RQH in May 2007.

        Net cash provided by financing activities in 2007 of $112.2 million was primarily due to capital contributions of $114.1 million from IAC to fund ILG's 2007 acquisitions. Cash used in financing activities in 2006 of $0.5 million was primarily due to excess tax benefits from stock-based awards.

        In connection with the spin-off of ILG, on July 25, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of ILG, entered into a senior secured credit facility with a maturity of five years, which consists of a $150.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). In addition, Interval Acquisition Corp. has issued $300.0 million of the old notes, reduced by the original issue discount of $23.5 million, to IAC, and IAC has exchanged such old notes for certain of IAC's 7% Senior Notes pursuant to a notes exchange and consent agreement. The final total costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the old notes and borrowings under the Term Loan and establishing the Revolver are estimated to be $13.5 million. The initial net cash proceeds to ILG were $139.4 million, which was net of $10.6 million of billed expenses. In connection with the spin-off, ILG retained $50.0 million and distributed the remainder of the net proceeds, $89.4 million, to IAC. ILG also retained its international cash which was approximately $75.1 million as of June 30, 2008. The additional costs, estimated at $2.9 million, in connection with the issuance are being paid by IAC and settled as part of the finalized intercompany receivable balance with IAC, with no cash outlay by ILG. Upon completion of the spin-off, the finalized intercompany receivable balance with IAC was extinguished.

        ILG anticipates that it will make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. ILG's ability to fund its cash and capital needs will be affected by its ongoing ability to generate cash from operations, the overall capacity and terms of its financing arrangements as discussed above, and access to the capital markets. ILG believes that its cash on hand along with its anticipated operating cash flows in 2008, and availability under the Revolver are

63



sufficient to fund its operating needs, capital, investing and other commitments and contingencies for the foreseeable future.

ILG'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

        ILG reports Operating Income Before Amortization as a supplemental measure to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which ILG evaluates the performance of its businesses, on which its internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. ILG believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that it uses in analyzing its results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. ILG provides and encourages investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure which are discussed below.

Definition of ILG's Non-GAAP Measure

        Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (5) one-time items. ILG believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the operating results from the ILG Businesses, taking into account depreciation, which ILG believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to ILG's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation, and acquisition-related accounting. ILG endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.

Pro Forma Results

        ILG will only present Operating Income Before Amortization on a pro forma basis if it views a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this report, there are no transactions that ILG has included on a pro forma basis.

One-Time Items

        Operating Income Before Amortization is presented before one-time items, if applicable. These items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. For the periods presented in this report, there are no one-time items.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From ILG's Non-GAAP Measure

        Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options.

        These expenses are not paid in cash, and ILG will include the related shares in its future calculations of fully diluted shares outstanding. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, the awards will be settled, at ILG's discretion, on a net basis, with ILG remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.

        Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer relationships, purchase agreements and property management agreements are valued and amortized over their estimated lives.

        ILG believes that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.

65


Reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization

        For a reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income for ILG's operating segments and to net income in total for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, see "Summary Consolidated Historical and Pro Forma Financial and Other Data," Note 8 to the audited consolidated financial statements and Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        ILG conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the United Kingdom and the European Union. ILG's primary exposure to foreign currency risk relates to its investments in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the British Pound Sterling and Euro. However, the exposure is mitigated as ILG has generally reinvested profits from its international operations. ILG is also exposed to foreign currency risk related to its assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

        As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of ILG's international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. Historically, ILG has not hedged translation risks because cash flows from international operations were generally reinvested locally. Foreign exchange net losses for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Foreign exchange net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

        As ILG increases its operations in international markets it becomes increasingly exposed to potentially volatile movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on ILG is often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause ILG to adjust its financing, operating and hedging strategies.

Interest Rate Risk

        While we did not have indebtedness at June 30, 2008, we have since borrowed $150 million under the floating rate Term Loan and issued the $300 million face amount of old notes which bear interest at a fixed rate. If LIBOR rates were to increase (decrease) by 100 basis points, then the annual interest payments on the $150 million of variable-rate debt would increase (decrease) by $1.5 million. If market rates decline, we run the risk that the required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on market rates. Based on our mix of fixed rate and floating rate debt and cash balances, we do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure.

OUR BUSINESS

        For information regarding the results of operations of ILG and its segments on a historical basis, see the Consolidated Financial Statements of ILG and the disclosure set forth under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." For information regarding the results of operations of ILG on a pro forma basis to give effect to the completion of the spin-offs, see the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for ILG.

Who We Are

        Interval Leisure Group, Inc., or ILG, was incorporated in connection with the spin-off to hold the businesses and subsidiaries of IAC, the results of which were previously reported in its Interval reporting segment. The spin-off of ILG from IAC occurred on August 20, 2008. Interval Acquisition Corp., the issuer of the notes, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILG and also a holding company, which does not have any material assets or operations other than ownership interests in those entities and assets through which the businesses of ILG are conducted, and the assets of ILG are held.

        ILG is a leading provider of membership and leisure services to consumers and business to business customers in the vacation industry. ILG's principal business segment, Interval, makes available vacation ownership membership services to the individual members of its exchange networks, as well as related services to developers of the resorts participating in its exchange networks worldwide. As of December 31, 2007, more than 2,400 resorts located in more than 75 countries participated in Interval's primary exchange network, the Interval Network, and nearly two million owners of vacation interests were enrolled as members of the Interval Network. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, Interval represented approximately 88% of ILG's consolidated revenues.

        ILG's other business segment, RQH, was acquired in May 2007 and is a provider of vacation rental and property management services to vacationers and vacation property owners across Hawaii. As of December 31, 2007, RQH provided property management services to 26 resorts and hotels, as well as other more limited management services to an additional 23 properties. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, RQH represented approximately 12% of ILG's consolidated revenues which include results for the seven month period following RQH's acquisition on May 31, 2007.

History

        Although ILG was incorporated in Delaware in May 2008 in connection with the spin-offs, the ILG businesses have rich operating histories. Founded in 1976, Interval has undergone multiple ownership structures. RQH dates its corporate history back to 1967 through its predecessors, Hotel Corporation of the Pacific and Aston Hotels & Resorts.

What We Do

Vacation Ownership Membership Services

Member Services

         Membership Programs.    Interval operates membership programs for owners of vacation interests at resorts that participate in its exchange networks. Interval does not own, operate or manage any resorts. Participation in one of Interval's membership programs provides members with the right to exchange their occupancy rights in their vacation interest (generally, for periods of one week) for comparable, alternative accommodations on a worldwide basis at the same or another resort participating in Interval's exchange networks, as well as benefit from a comprehensive package of value-added products and services. Generally, individuals are enrolled in one of Interval's membership programs by resort developers in connection with their purchase of vacation interests from such resort developers, with initial membership fees being paid on behalf of members by the resort developers.

67


        Following their period of initial enrollment, Interval Network members have the option of renewing their memberships for terms ranging from one to five years and paying their own membership fees directly to Interval, which option generally remains available even after the affiliation agreement for the resort at which members own their vacation interests is not renewed or otherwise terminated. Alternatively, some resort developers incorporate the Interval Network membership fee into certain annual fees they charge to owners of vacation interests at their resorts after the initial enrollment period, which results in these owners having their membership in the Interval Network and, where applicable, the Interval Gold program (as described below), automatically renewed throughout the period of their resort's participation in the Interval Network. Membership in the Preferred Residences Program, Interval's newly-launched hospitality-branded membership program for luxury shared ownership resorts and condo hotels, is also renewed annually throughout the period of each resort's participation in the Preferred Residences Program's exchange network.

        The resorts participating in Interval's exchange networks primarily includes resorts (including, in certain cases, resorts under construction) with which Interval has an effective affiliation agreement in place, as well as resorts at which Interval continues to provide exchange services following the affiliation agreement's term. In addition to providing membership services to the vacation ownership industry, ILG provides membership services to certain markets within the larger travel industry, such as the membership-based campground industry.

         Exchanges.    Interval provides members with two primary methods of exchange, "Deposit First" and "Request First." With Deposit First, members immediately transfer the use and occupancy of vacation interests at their home resort in return for the right to request an exchange at a different or the same resort at an alternative period of occupancy. Under this method, members are not required to select a location or travel date at the time of deposit, but can request an exchange at any time during the period of the deposit's availability for exchange. All deposits expire two years after the occupancy date of the week deposited, unless extended by members through the purchase of a deposit extension. With Request First, members request an exchange prior to relinquishing the occupancy right in their vacation interest to Interval's exchange networks. Using this method, the use and occupancy of the vacation interest is relinquished when a confirmation actually occurs. This method requires the member to be confirmed to an exchange and travel prior to the occupancy period of the vacation interest.

        All vacation ownership accommodations relinquished to Interval's exchange networks are assigned a trading value at the time of deposit (under the Deposit First method) or at the time of request (under the Request First method) based on multiple factors, including location, quality, seasonality, unit attributes and time of relinquishment to determine the relinquished accommodations' relative exchange value to Interval's exchange networks. Members are offered an exchange to accommodations which are generally of comparable value to those relinquished.

        Some members also exchange the use and occupancy of their vacation interests with Interval on a points basis. In these circumstances, points are relinquished to Interval's exchange networks by the member and Interval receives accommodations from the operator of the points program on behalf of the member.

         Getaway Program.    Interval also offers additional vacation rental opportunities to members at attractive rates through its Getaway Program. This program allows members to rent resort accommodations for a fee, plus applicable taxes, without relinquishing the use and occupancy of their vacation interests. Resort accommodations available through the Getaway Program consist of seasonal oversupply of vacation ownership accommodations within Interval's exchange networks, as well as resort accommodations sourced by Interval specifically for use in the Getaway Program.

         Interval Gold.    Interval also offers Interval Gold, an enhanced membership program, to Interval Network members to provide them with year-round access to value-added benefits and services for an additional annual fee. These benefits and services vary by country of residence, but generally consist of

68



discounts on Interval's Getaway Program, a concierge service, a hotel discount program and Interval Options, a service that allows members to relinquish annual occupancy rights in their vacation interests towards the purchase of various travel products, including cruise, golf and spa vacations. Members are enrolled in the Interval Gold program by resort developers in connection with the initial purchase of their vacation interests or by Interval directly. Renewal procedures and responsibility for fees are generally the same as those for basic membership in the Interval Network.

         Revenue.    Interval revenue is derived principally from membership fees and transactional fees paid for exchange and Getaway Program transactions, which are collectively referred to as "confirmed vacations," as well as fees from other value-added member services, such as reservation servicing fees, which are generally paid by the resort developer for the purpose of affording its owners access to internal reservation services. Revenue is also derived from fees for certain products and services sold to developers (as described below).

Relationships with Leading Independent Developers and Brand Name Hospitality Companies

         Resort Affiliations.    Interval has established multi-year relationships with numerous resort developers under exclusive affiliation agreements. Interval does not consider its overall business to be dependent on any one of these resort developers, provided, that the loss of a significant number of resort developers could materially impact Interval's business. See "Risk Factors Relating to Our Business—Third Party Relationships." Pursuant to these agreements, resort developers are obligated to enroll all purchasers of vacation interests at their resorts in the applicable exchange membership program and, in some circumstances, are obligated to renew these memberships for the term of their affiliation agreement. Most affiliation agreements contain automatic renewal provisions, pursuant to which arrangements will be renewed on the same terms and conditions (subject to agreed upon pricing modifications), unless either party provides the other with written notice of its intent not to renew prior to expiration (typically anywhere from 90 to 270 days prior to expiration).

         Products and Services.    A primary basis on which resort developers choose Interval as a partner is the comprehensive array of products and services that it offers resort developers, such as sales and marketing support, operational and custom vacation program design services.

    Sales and Marketing Support.  Interval offers its developers a selection of sales and marketing materials. These materials, which are available in multiple languages, include brochures, publications, sales-office displays, videos and resort directories. Resort developers also promote membership in Interval's exchange programs and related value-added services as an important benefit of owning a vacation interest. In addition, Interval offers the Leisure Time Passport program, which is primarily used by resort developers as an exit or trial membership program for potential purchasers of vacation interests. The Leisure Time Passport program provides participants with many of the benefits of the Interval Gold program, as well as the opportunity to experience vacationing in condominium-style accommodations prior to making a commitment to purchase a vacation interest.

    Interval has also established certain service and quality recognition awards and programs in an effort to encourage resorts to provide quality accommodations, amenities and services. In 2008, Interval introduced a new resort recognition program through which eligible Interval Network resorts will be recognized as either a "Select Resort" or a "Premier Resort," based upon the satisfaction of qualifying criteria. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 26% of these resorts had achieved the rating through inspection. The remainder achieved the rating based on the quality rating Interval assigned the resort following an inspection at the time of affiliation as updated by member feedback following confirmed vacations at the resort through which Interval determines the resort's customer satisfaction index and participation in Interval's prior recognition programs. Recognized resorts are then subject to periodic inspection and customer evaluations and must

69


      comply with the program's service and quality criteria to retain their status. Approximately 40% of Interval Network resorts available for exchange have been recognized as either a Select or Premier Resort for 2008.

    Operational Support.  Interval also makes available a comprehensive array of back-office servicing solutions to resort developers and resorts. For example, for an additional fee, Interval provides internal reservation services, pursuant to which Interval acts as the facilitator of both internal club and resort reservations, and billing and loan servicing services, pursuant to which Interval collects property maintenance fees and other amounts due to developers or homeowner's associations.

    In addition, through consulting arrangements, Interval assists resort developers in the design of vacation programs for owners of vacation interests. Such programs, which may include a wide range of flexible-use plans, as well as point-based programs and vacation clubs, are tailored to the specific needs of the relevant developer and/or resort. In connection with the design of these programs, Interval undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the existing operations and intended growth plan of the relevant developer or resort, and then works closely with the developer or resort to design and implement a tailored program.

Vacation Rental and Property Management Services

        ILG operates a Hawaiian-based vacation rental and property management business through RQH. RQH provides vacation property rental, real estate brokerage and related services (including common area management services for condominium projects), as well as property management services to resorts and hotels in Hawaii.

Vacation Rental and Related Property Management Services

        RQH provides vacation property rental services for condominium owners. These rental properties are generally investment properties, and, to a lesser extent, second homes, owned by individuals who contract with RQH directly to manage, market and rent their properties, generally pursuant to short-term agreements. RQH also offers such owners a comprehensive package of marketing, management and rental services designed to enhance rental income and profitability.

        RQH secures guests for its vacation rentals primarily through long-standing relationships with travel partners, including wholesalers, retail travel agents and online travel intermediaries. RQH also conducts direct online marketing initiatives to reach consumers directly through its websites, www.resortquesthawaii.com and www.mauicondo.com. As an additional distribution channel, RQH also makes units available to Interval for use in its Getaway Program.

Property Management Services

        RQH also provides property management services for owners of condominium and hotel management services to owners of traditional hotels. Condominium hotels generally offer the same type of services offered by hotels and resorts, plus certain comforts of home, such as kitchens or kitchenettes, separate seating or living room areas and in suite, private bedrooms, with actual services and features varying by property. Generally, property management services are provided pursuant to exclusive agreements with terms ranging from one to five years, many of which are automatically renewable.

        RQH revenues are derived principally from management fees for vacation property rental services and property management services. Property management fees consist of a base management fee and, in some instances, an incentive fee based on a percentage of gross operating profits, net operating income or other similar metric. Property management agreements may provide that owners receive a specified portion of the revenues generated while the relevant properties are under RQH management.

70



In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operation are paid from the revenues generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages and RQH either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit. Revenues are also derived from fees for hotel management services.

Marketing and Technology

        The success of the Interval business depends, in significant part, on the continued growth of the vacation ownership industry. As a result, Interval markets its products and services to resort developers and other parties in the vacation ownership industry through a series of business development initiatives. For nearly ten years, Interval has organized and co-sponsored a proprietary, multi-day informational seminar, currently known as the Vacation Ownership Investment Conference ("VOIC"), where real estate developers, hospitality companies and others contemplating entry into the vacation ownership industry can meet and network with industry leaders, as well as participate in educational panels on various vacation ownership issues, such as property and program planning, financing and regulatory requirements. This seminar is offered annually at locations in regions that Interval views as potential market opportunities for vacation ownership development. Through these programs, Interval works to strengthen and expand the vacation ownership industry through the education and support of viable new entrants. Interval has also maintained leadership roles in various industry trade organizations throughout the world since their inception, through which it has been a driving force in the promotion of constructive legislation, both in the U.S. and abroad, principally aimed at creating or enhancing consumer protection in the vacation ownership industry.

        Given that the success of Interval is dependent, in significant part, on its ability to secure vacation ownership accommodations and attract new members to its exchange programs, Interval also targets its sales and marketing efforts more directly at resort developers and prospective owners of vacation interests. In doing so, Interval not only promotes the benefits of the Interval Network and its value-added services, but also markets itself to resort developers as a provider of operational and sales and marketing support services. Interval's sales and services personnel proactively seek to establish strong relationships with developers during the early stages of the development of a particular resort by providing input on consumer preferences based upon years of experience. In addition, given its long-standing relationships with others within the vacation ownership industry, Interval is often able to refer resort developers to quality providers of a wide range of planning and operational resources. Interval believes that it has established a strong reputation within the vacation ownership industry as being highly responsive to the needs of resort developers and owners of vacation interests.

        Interval maintains developer and consumer marketing departments, both of which are based in ILG's global headquarters in Miami, Florida. International marketing expertise is provided primarily by London-based employees, with input and local expertise being provided by employees in local and regional offices worldwide. These departments are responsible for implementing Interval's overall marketing strategy and developing the materials that are necessary to secure new relationships with resort developers and resorts and obtain new members, as well as promote membership renewals, exchange opportunities and other value-added services to existing members.

        Important to the success and continued growth of the RQH business is its ability to source vacationers interested in booking vacation properties made available through its vacation rental and property management services. RQH markets vacation rental opportunities through online travel intermediaries and other distribution channels, as well as through dedicated property sales, field sales personnel and Interval.

        Interval's success also depends, in part, on its ability to provide prompt, accurate and complete service to its members through voice and data networks and proprietary and third party information systems. The technology platform for the Interval Network is a proprietary, custom developed enterprise application and database that manages all aspects of membership, exchange and Getaway

71



Program transaction processing and inventory management. Interval also uses advanced telecommunications systems and technologies to promptly respond and efficiently route member calls. Interval also operates consumer websites for its members, such as www.IntervalWorld.com and www.PreferredResidences.com, while RQH offers vacation rentals to non-member vacationers through www.ResortQuestHawaii.com.

Industry Overview and Trends

        The hospitality industry is a major component of the travel industry, which is affected by the performance of the U.S. economy. The hospitality industry includes the segments in which ILG businesses operate. In 2007, domestic and international travelers spent an estimated $740 billion in the U.S. for business and leisure travel of 50 miles or more, as compared to $699 billion in 2006 and $654 billion in 2005.

        Travel expenditures are sensitive to business and personal discretionary spending levels and tend to decline during general economic downturns as factors, including the increased costs of transportation due to increased fuel prices and the overall financial instability of the airline industry and associated air carrier bankruptcies, adversely impact consumers' decisions to use and consume travel services. See "Risk Factors Relating to Our Business—Adverse Events and Trends."

        Vacation ownership is the segment of the hospitality industry that encompasses the development, operation and sale of vacation interests in traditional timeshare regimes, fractional products, private residence clubs, condo hotels and other forms of shared ownership, and, in some instances, whole ownership. Vacation ownership sales (excluding sales of fractional, private residence club, destination club and whole ownership products) in the U.S. for 2007 are approximately $10.6 billion, as compared to $10.0 billion in 2006 and $8.6 billion in 2005, although much of this growth was driven by higher sales prices. U.S. sales of fractional products, private residences and destination club products were approximately $2.3 billion in 2007, as compared to $2.1 billion in 2006 and $2.0 billion in 2005.

        The tightening of credit available to vacation property developers, including challenges with securitizations, and purchasers could result in the development of fewer vacation ownership and vacation rental properties (and in the case of existing vacation ownership and vacation rental properties, fewer potential purchasers). This factor, plus the potential for increased default rates among current vacation interest owners, could have a negative impact on the number of Interval members and could have a material adverse effect on the vacation ownership and vacation rental industries. See "Risk Factors Relating to Our Business—Adverse Events and Trends."

Vacation Ownership Membership Services

        The vacation ownership membership services industry provides owners of vacation interests with flexibility and choice by providing them access to alternative accommodations through exchange networks encompassing a wide variety of resorts. There are two principal providers of vacation ownership membership services in the global vacation membership services industry, Interval and RCI LLC, a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corp. According to a study published in 2008 by ARDA International Foundation, 99% of all U.S.-based vacation ownership resorts that participated in such study were participants in an exchange network offered by Interval or RCI or both.

        Growth in the vacation ownership membership services industry is driven primarily by the number of vacation interests sold to new purchasers. At the outset of 2008, the number of U.S.-based households that owned vacation interests increased to approximately 4.7 million, an increase of approximately 300,000 households, from the number reported for the beginning of 2007. Long-term growth is expected to be driven by:

    increased consumer awareness and acceptance of the value and benefits of the ownership of vacation interests;

72


    adoption of constructive legislation and regulations internationally that improve consumer protection and allow businesses to operate profitably, including a recent announcement by the Government of Dubai that it will shortly issue its first set of vacation ownership regulations;

    the entry of additional independent developers and brand-name hospitality companies into the vacation ownership industry, which will increase the number of vacation interests available for sale; and

    reported demand for vacation ownership products in the U.S.

        The vacation ownership membership services industry growth is driven by the continued development and offering of new vacation ownership accommodations and alternative vacation ownership related products. For example, industry studies suggest that developers are selling more biennial products, whereby owners of vacation interests have access to their accommodations during alternating years. While these trends may have a positive impact on the average number of potential new members of exchange programs, the alternating annual ownership associated with these products could adversely impact average revenue per member across the industry.

Vacation Rental and Property Management Services

        ILG believes that the overall supply of vacation rental properties has been increasing as a result of the growth in second/vacation home ownership and the increasing desire among many owners to rent their properties for additional income. An increasing percentage of vacation home purchasers have cited the ability to generate rental income as a motivating factor for their purchase decision. Property management and vacation rental companies facilitate the rental process by handling most, if not all, aspects of interaction with vacationers. ILG believes growth in the marketplace is due, in some part, to the numbers of resorts entering the condo space as a means to capitalize on overall property construction through the upfront sales of vacation condos.

        Vacation rental properties are also growing in number due to the increasing popularity of renting non-hotel accommodations among consumers. Condominium accommodations typically provide substantial value to consumers seeking more than a nightly stay, as they offer families greater space and convenience than a traditional hotel room by offering separate living, sleeping and eating quarters.

        Growth in leisure travel, as well as improved product awareness and consumer convenience through direct and indirect online distribution channels, is expected to drive growth.

        Currently, ILG offers vacation rental and property management services in Hawaii through RQH. According to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, approximately 7.5 million visitors traveled to Hawaii in each of 2006 and 2007. ILG believes that in the long-term, Hawaii will continue to be a sought after destination for vacationers.

Competition

        The two principal companies in the global vacation ownership membership services industry, Interval and RCI, aggressively compete for developer and consumer market share. Other third parties operate in this industry, but generally outside of the context of value-added membership programs offered at point-of-sale. While the operations of these third parties are generally smaller and more regional in nature, at least one operates on a global basis. Interval also faces increasing competition from points-based vacation clubs and large resort developers, which may elect to operate their own internal exchange systems to facilitate exchanges for owners of vacation interests at their resorts as they increase in size and scope. In addition, increasingly, vacation clubs and large resort developers are forging direct relationships with other developers.

73


        Interval believes that developers generally choose to affiliate with an exchange network based on:

    the perceived quality of resorts participating in the network, which is characterized by the desirability of numerous locations, quality of accommodations and the amenities and services available;

    the level of service provided to members;

    the range and level of support services provided to developers;

    the flexibility of the exchange program;

    the costs for annual membership and exchanges; and

    continuity of management.

        Developers affiliated with Interval and/or RCI collectively represent approximately 99% of the vacation ownership resorts in the U.S. Based on the annual disclosure statements filed by RCI and Interval for the year ended December 31, 2007, on a global basis, Interval held approximately 38% of the resorts and 35% of the members participating in exchange networks operated by these companies and RCI held the remainder. Accordingly, RCI is the larger provider of vacation ownership member services with a larger exchange network. Through the resources of its corporate affiliates, particularly Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc., itself engaged in vacation ownership sales, RCI may have greater access to a significant segment of new purchasers of vacation interests.

        While overall Interval's primary competitor has a greater number of resorts in its exchange network and reports a larger number of owners of vacation interests participating in its vacation ownership membership programs, Interval believes that it has distinguished itself as the vacation ownership membership service provider of choice with developers of high quality vacation properties and their owners, based primarily on the quality of the resorts in the Interval Network and related services provided by these resorts, coupled with its continued commitment to attract quality resorts to its exchange networks and foster quality vacation experiences for its members. For example, in 2008, Interval launched the Preferred Residences Program, a hospitality-branded membership program for luxury shared ownership resorts and condo hotels.

        RQH's vacation rental business faces competition from other suppliers of travel products and services, hotel operators and local rental agents and its property management business is also highly competitive in that there are low barriers to entry.

Employees

        As of June 30, 2008, ILG had approximately 2,900 employees worldwide. With the exception of a limited number of housekeeping employees at one property in Hawaii and a few member services employees in Argentina, Italy, Mexico and Spain, employees are not represented by unions or collective bargaining agreements. ILG believes that relationships with its employees are generally good.

Properties

        ILG conducts operations through 28 offices in 17 countries, of which 7 locations are within the U.S. and 21 locations are outside of the U.S. ILG's global headquarters which is located in Miami, Florida and occupies approximately 100,000 square feet of office space under a long-term lease expiring in July 2016. Interval also operates a call center in Miami that is approximately 60,000 square feet under a long-term lease expiring in December 2020. Interval's European headquarters are located in London, England and occupy approximately 24,400 square feet of office space under a long-term lease which expires in May 2016, while its Asian headquarters are located in Singapore and occupy approximately 3,000 square feet of office space under a lease, the current term of which expires in September 2009, subject to automatic renewal.

        RQH's property management headquarters is located in Honolulu, Hawaii and occupies approximately 25,000 square feet of office space under a lease expiring in October 2009. Activities have commenced to source and secure alternative premises upon the termination of the existing lease.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Roles and Responsibilities

        Prior to the spin-off, the compensation of ILG's executive officers was predominantly determined by IAC, acting in effect as ILG's compensation committee. IAC's compensation process is principally driven by IAC's General Counsel, who has primary responsibility for administering compensation and making compensation recommendations, with all specific decisions approved by IAC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and, where appropriate, the Compensation Committee of IAC's Board of Directors (specifically with respect to all awards of IAC equity).

        This Compensation Discussion and Analysis deals exclusively with historical information while ILG was a part of IAC. Following the completion of the spin-off, ILG has an independent Board of Directors, which in turn has a Compensation and Human Resources Committee, with responsibility for establishing ILG's compensation philosophy and programs and determining appropriate payments and awards to its executive officers. Because ILG's compensation committee has recently been established, ILG cannot predict what compensation philosophies and programs will be adopted, and therefore this historical report is not necessarily indicative of the practices it will follow as an independent public company.

        In general, IAC was responsible for establishing bonus pools and equity pools for ILG, and then such pools were allocated throughout ILG, with IAC directly establishing all compensation elements for ILG's CEO, while the CEO made the determinations for ILG's other executive officers, though subject to IAC's review and approval.

        Neither ILG nor IAC has an ongoing relationship with any particular compensation consulting firm, though IAC has from time to time retained the services of consultants on specific occasions regarding broad-based IAC compensation programs. At no time has a consultant been engaged with respect to compensation of any ILG executive officers.

Philosophy and Objectives

        ILG's executive officer compensation program is designed to increase long-term stockholder value by attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding leaders with the competence, character, experience and ambition necessary to enable ILG to meet its growth objectives.

        When establishing compensation packages for a given executive, ILG has followed a flexible approach, and has made decisions based on a host of factors particular to a given executive situation, including ILG's firsthand experience with the competition for recruiting and retaining executives, negotiation and discussion with the relevant individual, competitive survey data, internal equity considerations and other factors deemed relevant at the time. ILG's primary approach has been to pay base salaries at or around market levels while rewarding annual profit growth through an annual bonus program and long-term value creation through equity participation.

Compensation Elements

        ILG's compensation packages for executive officers have primarily consisted of salary, annual bonuses, long term incentives (typically equity awards), perquisites and other benefits. Prior to making specific decisions related to any particular element of compensation, ILG typically reviews the total compensation of each executive, evaluating the executive's total near and long-term compensation in the aggregate. ILG determines which element or combinations of compensation elements (salary, bonus or equity) can be used most effectively to further our compensation objectives. However, all such

78



decisions are subjective, and made on a facts and circumstances basis without any prescribed relationship between the various elements of the total compensation package.

    Salary

General.    ILG typically negotiates a new executive officer's starting salary upon arrival, based on the executive's prior compensation history, prior compensation levels for the particular position within ILG, ILG's location, salary levels of other executives within ILG, salary levels available to the individual in alternative opportunities, reference to certain survey information and the extent to which we desire to secure the executive's services. Mr. Nash's salary was established through negotiations with IAC.

        Once established, salaries can increase based on a number of factors, including the assumption of additional responsibilities, internal equity, periodic market checks and other factors which demonstrate an executive's increased value to ILG.

        ILG utilizes various salary surveys depending upon the position to determine a market relevant range of salaries for each position. At least two surveys are used in each analysis. ILG uses the following surveys: Towers Perrin Executive Compensation Data Bank, Radford Executive Survey, and the Mercer Premium Executive Remuneration Survey.

         2007.    Mr. Nash entered into a new employment agreement with IAC under which his salary was increased from $568,788 to $650,000 through negotiation. Ms. Marbert received a salary increase from $300,000 to $350,000 based on discussions between Ms. Marbert and Mr. Nash, and Mr. Nash's views of internal equity. Mr. Galea also received a salary increase from $200,000 to $250,000 based on reviews of market data and internal equity considerations. Ms. Lee and Ms. Kincke both received ordinary course salary increases of approximately 5% effective January 1, 2007.

         2008.    Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert each entered into new employment agreements which became effective upon the spin-off (the "New Nash Employment Agreement" and the "New Marbert Employment Agreement," respectively). Under these agreements, Mr. Nash receives a base salary of $750,000, arrived at by negotiation with Mr. Nash and a recognition by the Company of his increased responsibilities as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of a public company. Ms. Marbert receives a base salary of $400,000, negotiated by Mr. Nash, which again reflects increased public company responsibilities. Additionally, Ms. Kincke received a raise to $250,000 to reflect her increased responsibilities as General Counsel of a public company. In connection with his employment, Mr. Harvey entered into an employment agreement providing for an initial base salary of $325,000, subject to increase following an annual review.

    Annual Bonuses

General.    ILG's bonus program is designed to reward performance on an annual basis. Because of the variable nature of the bonus program, and because in any given year bonuses have the potential to make up a significant amount of an executive's total compensation, it provides an important incentive tool to achieve ILG's annual objectives.

        Prior to the spin-off, IAC established the bonus of the CEO based on its view of corporate performance, based on a target level of 100% of salary. In large part, corporate performance has been measured based on ILG's growth in year over year profitability, generally as measured by Operating Income Before Amortization ("OIBA"), although achievement of strategic objectives is also taken into account. Mr. Nash's old employment agreement provided for a minimum bonus of $350,000 in the event certain modest OIBA targets are achieved, but these targets are expected to be met, and a subjective determination of corporate performance is the true driver of Mr. Nash's bonus.

79


        After consultation with ILG management, IAC established the annual bonus pool for ILG based on its assessment of ILG's performance for the applicable year.

        Mr. Nash then allocated the pool to the rest of the company, including to the other executive officers based on individual and corporate success.

        ILG generally pays bonuses shortly after year-end following finalization of financial results for the prior year.

         2007.    In 2007, ILG experienced another solid year of profit growth. IAC paid Mr. Nash a bonus of $800,000, based both on the OIBA growth of ILG and ILG's successful acquisition of the Resort Quest business. While in 2007 Ms. Marbert's employment agreement expired, ILG paid her bonus based primarily on the formula that had been set forth in that employment agreement, which provided for a target bonus of 100% of salary, with incremental bonus paid to the extent OIBA exceeded the Company's plan. Ms. Marbert was paid a bonus of $360,000, slightly more than target. Mr. Galea, Ms. Kincke and Ms. Lee received bonuses based on Mr. Nash's view of corporate performance and individual contributions, including, in the case of Mr. Galea and Ms. Kincke, in connection with the Resort Quest acquisition.

         2008.    ILG has agreed to guarantee the 2008 bonuses for Mr. Nash, Ms. Marbert, Ms. Kincke and Mr. Galea at 100%, 100%, 40% and 40% of salary, respectively, presuming continued employment. This decision was made in light of the strong performance of ILG through May and the significant effort expended by these individuals in connection with the spin-off transaction. Under the New Nash Employment Agreement, Mr. Nash is entitled to a minimum bonus of $250,000 in the event certain modest OIBA targets to be established annually are achieved, but these targets will be set at a level expected to be met, and a subjective determination of corporate performance is expected to be the true driver of Mr. Nash's bonus. In addition, the agreement provides that the Compensation Committee may change from OIBA targets to another performance metric in the event ILG uses a different metric to measure performance. Mr. Harvey's agreement provides for a discretionary bonus with a target of 75% of salary to be pro-rated for 2008.

    Long-Term Incentives

General.    IAC believes that ownership shapes behavior, and that by providing a meaningful portion of an executive officer's compensation in stock, his or her incentives are aligned with our stockholders' interests in a manner that drives better performance over time. As part of IAC, that led to each ILG executive officer receiving IAC equity awards on a regular basis.

        In setting particular award levels, the predominant objectives are providing the person with effective retention incentives, appropriate reward for past performance and incentives for strong future performance. Appropriate levels to meet these goals may vary from year to year, and from individual to individual, based on a variety of factors.

        The annual corporate performance factors relevant to setting bonus amounts that were discussed above, while taken into account, are generally less relevant in setting annual equity awards, as the awards tend to be more forward looking, and are a longer-term retention and reward instrument than our annual bonuses.

        Awards to the CEO are made by IAC. Additionally, IAC establishes a pool for annual equity awards which the CEO allocates to the Company's employees, including the executive officers, subject to IAC's approval. In establishing the equity pool for ILG, IAC has taken into account historical practices, its view of market compensation generally, the dilutive impact of equity grants across IAC, and other relevant factors. Additionally, IAC approves any equity grants recommended to be made to ILG executives outside of the annual process. Executive officers receive grants that are subjectively determined based on the CEO's view of how best to allocate the equity pool for retention, reward and

80



motivation based on a host of subjective factors (including past contribution, retention risk, contribution potential, and market data), with grants equal to annual salary being a basic guideline.

        Except where otherwise noted, equity awards are made following year-end after financial results for the prior year have been finalized. The meeting of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the IAC Board at which the awards are made is generally scheduled months in advance and without regard to the timing of the release of earnings or other material information.

         Restricted Stock Units.    Prior to the spin-off, IAC used restricted stock units, or RSUs, as its exclusive equity compensation tool for ILG executive officers. Through 2006, these awards generally vested in equal annual installments over five years (annual-vesting RSUs), or cliff vested at the end of five years (cliff-vesting RSUs). Annual awards were intended to provide frequent rewards and near-term retention incentives, while cliff-vesting RSUs provided more of a long-term retention mechanism.

        In February 2007, IAC implemented a new equity instrument, Growth Shares, which were RSU grants that cliff vest at the end of three years in varying amounts depending upon growth in IAC's publicly reported metric, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, with certain modifications.

        These awards were introduced throughout IAC to more closely link long-term reward with IAC's overall performance and to provide greater retentive effect by providing the opportunity to earn greater amounts through increased IAC performance. However, in connection with the spin-off, these awards were converted into three-year cliff-vesting awards at the "target" value (or 50% of the shares actually granted), without variability based on performance.

         2007.    In February of 2007, our executive officers generally received a mix of Growth Shares and annual-vesting RSUs. Ms. Marbert received grants twice the size of ILG's other executive officers due to her senior position as COO of the company.

        Mr. Nash received an award of Growth Shares and annual-vesting RSUs as part of the annual grant process, and then in connection with his entering into a new employment agreement in July, Mr. Nash received two additional RSU grants, each cliff vesting at the end of four years. One award was for 100,000 RSUs and the other was for up to 75,000 RSUs, with the actual amount to vest dependent on growth in ILG over the period, however, this performance-based award will be cancelled at the time of the spin-off pursuant to the New Nash Employment Agreement. These awards were determined by negotiation with Mr. Nash.

         2008.    In February 2008, Ms. Marbert received 20,000 RSUs, Ms. Kincke and Mr. Galea each received 6,000 RSUs and Ms. Lee received 4,800 RSUs. These grants were larger than those of prior years principally because the overall ILG equity pool was larger than in the past. The larger pool resulted from IAC's determination that key ILG employees had smaller equity holdings than did comparable individuals at other IAC companies.

        Additionally, under the New Nash Employment Agreement and the New Marbert Employment Agreement, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert received RSU grants at the time of the spin-off worth $8 million and $2 million, respectively, with 75% of the award vesting annually over four years and 25% of the award vesting at the end of four years. These amounts were negotiated between IAC and Mr. Nash, and were given in contemplation of, and became effective upon, the spin-off. Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Harvey received RSU grants worth $750,000 at the time of the spin-off, vesting over four years.

         Spin-Off Adjustments.    In the spin-off, equity awards denominated in IAC stock were adjusted (i) to cause vesting immediately prior to the spin-off of awards granted prior to August 2005 and/or scheduled to vest through February 2009, (ii) to convert performance-based RSUs granted in 2007, or Growth Shares, into non-performance-based RSUs based on the target value, (iii) to cause the vesting

81



immediately prior to the spin-off of the portion of cliff vested RSUs that would have vested through February 2009 if such awards had vested on an annual basis, (iv) to convert all RSUs that do not vest under (i) or (iii) above into RSUs for the company that continues to employ the individual following the spin-offs, and (v) to split all options among the five companies and adjust the exercise price based on the price of such company's shares as of the spin date.

        The following table reflects the effect of these adjustments on all equity awards held by ILG's executive officers:

(1)
Excludes 75,000 performance based RSUs that were cancelled at the time of the spin-offs pursuant to the New Nash Employment Agreement.

    Change of Control and Severance

        ILG believes that providing executives with severance and change of control protection is critical to allowing executives to fully value the forward looking elements of their compensation packages, and therefore limit retention risk during uncertain times. Accordingly, ILG employment arrangements and equity awards generally provide for salary continuation in the event of certain employment terminations beyond the control of the executive, as well as varying degrees of accelerated vesting in the event of a change of control of the company.

    Other Compensation

        Under other limited circumstances, ILG executive officers have received non-cash and non-equity compensatory benefits. The values of these benefits are reported under the heading "Other Annual Compensation" in this filing pursuant to applicable rules. The executive officers do not participate in any deferred compensation or retirement program other than IAC's 401(k) plan.

    Tax Deductibility

        IAC's practice has been to structure ILG's compensation program in such a manner so that the compensation is deductible by IAC for federal income tax purposes. However, because ILG executive officers are now subject to the limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code and were not previously, certain compensatory arrangements established prior to the spin-off but that will be paid following the spin-off may not result in deductible compensation for ILG.

(1)
Equity incentive plan awards with a grant date of 2/16/07 reflect performance based RSU awards which cliff vest at the end of three years in varying amounts depending upon growth in IAC's publicly reported metric, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, with certain modifications. The threshold amount represents 5.56% of the target payout, which amount would vest upon achieving the minimum growth threshold. These awards were converted into three year cliff-vesting awards in the spin-offs as described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Spin-Off Adjustments."

(2)
The equity incentive plan award to Mr. Nash with a grant date of 9/12/07 reflects a performance award which cliff vests in four years in varying amounts depending on the compounded annual growth rate in the value of ILG (as agreed between the executive and IAC) during the valuation period. If the minimum growth rate is not achieved, the RSUs are forfeited, while increasing numbers of shares vest depending on higher levels in the growth rate. In all, the number of shares vesting can range from 0% to 100% of the initial "target" award, with one share vesting upon achieving the minimum growth rate threshold. This award was cancelled in the spin-off.

(3)
RSU award recipients would be credited with amounts for cash dividends paid on IAC common stock, with such additional amounts vesting concurrently with the related RSU award. For information on the treatment of RSU awards granted to ILG's named executives upon a termination of employment or a change in control, see the discussion under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.

(4)
The fair value of equity incentive plan awards is based on the target amount.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Change of Control

        Pursuant to the terms of ILG's equity compensation plans and the award agreements thereunder, upon a change of control the named executive officers are generally entitled to accelerated vesting of (i) equity awards made prior to 2006 and (ii) equity awards made thereafter if, following such change in control, their employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than death, disability or cause (as defined in the relevant employment agreement), or by the executive for good reason (as defined in the relevant employment agreement or plan document) (a "Qualifying Termination").

86



Additionally, under the New Nash Employment Agreement and the New Marbert Employment Agreement, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert will be entitled to two-years forward vesting of the RSUs granted under those agreements (including pro ration two years forward on the cliff vesting portions of those awards).

Severance

         Cash.    Upon a Qualifying Termination, ILG executive officers are entitled to salary continuation of, with respect to Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert, twenty-four months, with respect to Mr. Galea and Ms. Kincke, twelve months, and with respect to Ms. Lee, six months. With respect to Mr. Harvey, the salary continuation would be six months if termination occurs before June 30, 2009 or twelve months after that date. Additionally, under the New Nash Employment Agreement and New Marbert Employment Agreement, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert are entitled to pro rated portions of the bonus they would otherwise earn during the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, payable at the time such bonus would otherwise be determined.

         Equity.    Upon a Qualifying Termination, Mr. Nash and Ms. Marbert will receive two-year's forward vesting of their RSUs granted under those agreements (including pro ration two years forward on the cliff vesting portions of those awards). Upon a Qualifying Termination, Mr. Harvey would receive forward vesting of six months if on or before June 30, 2009 and twelve months if after that date; provided in the event of a change of control, the forward vesting is twenty four months.

         Obligations.    The amounts payable upon a Qualifying Termination are all subject to the execution of a general release and to compliance with confidentiality, non-compete, non-solicitation of employees and non-solicitation of customer covenants set forth in the relevant employment agreements. Salary continuation payments will be offset by the amount of any compensation earned by an executive from other employment during the severance payment period.

        The amounts shown in the table are in dollars and assume that the termination or change in control was effective as of December 31, 2007 and that the price of IAC common stock on which certain calculations are based was the closing price of $26.92 on The Nasdaq Stock Market on that date. These amounts are estimates of the incremental amounts that would have been paid out to the executive upon such terminations/change in control, and do not take into account equity grants made, and contractual obligations entered into, after December 31, 2007. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time the event actually occurs.

Represents the acceleration of 25% of Mr. Nash's cliff vesting RSUs. The determination of the number of Mr. Nash's Growth Shares (which were cancelled in their entirety at the time of the spin-off) that would have vested would be based on the compounded annual growth rate in the value of Interval (as agreed between the executive and IAC) during the valuation period, which would have been measured at June 30, 2011. Upon the sale of Interval, the sale price would be deemed the agreed value. The treatment of Mr. Nash's Growth Shares upon a sale of Interval in the absence of the spin-off is described above. No value is presented in the table above for accelerated vesting of the Growth Shares as the value is neither determinable nor estimable, given that such value would be based on a sale price for Interval, which would be determined by arms' length negotiations between IAC and the acquirer.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The following table presents information relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of ILG common stock on September 30, 2008, by (i) each individual or entity owning beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of ILG common stock, (ii) each director of ILG, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the other three named executive officers in the ILG summary compensation table (see "Executive Compensation") and (iv) all of ILG's executive officers and directors as a group. There were 56,206,068 shares of common stock and Class B common stock of ILG outstanding on September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, all of Interval Acquisition Corp.'s outstanding common stock was held by ILG.

        Unless otherwise indicated, beneficial owners listed here may be contacted at ILG's corporate headquarters at 6262 Sunset Drive, Miami, Florida 33143. For each listed person, the number of shares of ILG common stock and percent of such class listed assumes the conversion or exercise of any ILG equity securities owned by such person that are or will become convertible or exercisable, and the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units, if any, that will vest, within 60 days of September 15, 2008, but does not assume the conversion, exercise or vesting of any such equity securities owned by any other person.

        The share amounts for each beneficial owner listed here are based on each such individual's beneficial ownership of shares of ILG common stock as of September 30, 2008. To the extent that ILG directors and executive officers owned shares of IAC common stock at the time of the distribution, they participated in the distribution on the same terms as other holders of IAC common stock. In addition, following the distribution, all IAC stock-based awards held by these individuals were adjusted to become awards relating to common stock of all five companies resulting from the spin-offs. Those awards that relate to ILG common stock are reflected in the table below based upon the adjustment formula described under the caption "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Spin-Off Adjustments."

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Agreements with Liberty Media Corporation

        In May 2008, in connection with the settlement of litigation relating to the proposed spin-offs, IAC entered into a "Spinco Agreement" with Liberty Media Corporation, or Liberty, and affiliates of Liberty that hold shares of IAC common stock and/or Class B common stock (together with Liberty, the "Liberty Parties"), among others. At the time of the spin-offs, ILG and each other Spinco assumed from IAC all of those rights and obligations under the Spinco Agreement providing for post-spin-off governance arrangements at the Spincos. As of August 29, 2008, Liberty is deemed to beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) 16,643,958 shares or 29.6% of ILG common stock. The following summary describes the material terms of those governance arrangements and related matters and is qualified by reference to the full Spinco Agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this prospectus is a part. As required by the Spinco Agreement, ILG entered into a registration rights agreement with the Liberty Parties at the time of the spin-off, as described below.

Spinco Agreement

Representation of Liberty on the Spinco Boards of Directors

        The Spinco Agreement generally provides that so long as Liberty beneficially owns securities of ILG representing at least 20% of the total voting power of ILG's equity securities, Liberty has the right to nominate up to 20% of the directors serving on the Spinco Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number). Any director nominated by Liberty must be reasonably acceptable to a majority of the directors on ILG's Board who were not nominated by Liberty. All but one of Liberty's nominees serving on ILG's Board of Directors must qualify as "independent" under applicable stock exchange rules. In addition, the nominating and/or governance committee of the ILG Board may include only "Qualified Directors," namely directors other than any who were nominated by Liberty, are officers or employees of ILG or were not nominated by the nominating and/or governance Committee of the ILG Board in their initial election to the board and for whose election any Liberty Party voted shares.

        Until the second anniversary of the spin-off, the Liberty Parties agreed to vote all of the equity securities of ILG beneficially owned by them in favor of the election of the full slate of director nominees recommended to stockholders by the ILG Board of Directors so long as the slate includes the director-candidates that Liberty has the right to nominate.

Acquisition Restrictions

        The Liberty Parties have agreed in the Spinco Agreement not to acquire beneficial ownership of any equity securities of ILG (with specified exceptions) unless:

    the acquisition was approved by a majority of the Qualified Directors;

    the acquisition is permitted under the provisions described in "Competing Offers" below; or

    after giving effect to the acquisition, Liberty's ownership percentage of the equity securities of ILG, based on voting power, would not exceed the Applicable Percentage.

        The "Applicable Percentage" initially is Liberty's ownership percentage of ILG upon the spin-off, based on voting power (approximately 29.9%), plus 5%, but in no event more than 35%. Following the spin-off, the Applicable Percentage will be reduced for specified transfers of equity securities of ILG by the Liberty Parties. During the first two years following the spin-off, acquisitions by the Liberty Parties are further limited to specified extraordinary transactions and, otherwise, to acquisitions representing no more than one-third of the ILG common stock received by the Liberty Parties in the spin-off.

91


Standstill Restrictions

        Until the second anniversary of the spin-off, unless a majority of the Qualified Directors consent or to the extent permitted by the provisions described under "Acquisition Restrictions" or "Competing Offers" or in certain other limited circumstances, no Liberty Party may:

    offer to acquire beneficial ownership of any equity securities of ILG;

    initiate or propose any stockholder proposal or seek or propose to influence, advise, change or control the management, Board of Directors, governing instruments or policies or affairs of ILG;

    offer, seek or propose, collaborate on or encourage any merger or other extraordinary transaction;

    subject any equity securities of ILG to a voting agreement;

    make a request to amend any of the provisions described under "Acquisition Restrictions," "Standstill Restrictions" or "Competing Offers";

    make any public disclosure, or take any action which could reasonably be expected to require ILG to make any public disclosure, with respect to any of the provisions described under "Standstill Restrictions"; or

    enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any third party with respect to any of the provisions described under "Standstill Restrictions."

Transfer Restrictions

        Unless a majority of the Qualified Directors consent, the Spinco Agreement prohibits transfers by the Liberty Parties of any equity securities of ILG to any person except for certain transfers, including:

    transfers under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or, if Rule 144 is not applicable, in "broker transactions");

    transfers pursuant to a third party tender or exchange offer or in connection with any merger or other business combination, which merger or business combination has been approved by ILG;

    transfers in a public offering in a manner designed to result in a wide distribution, provided that no such transfer is made, to the knowledge of the Liberty Parties, to any person whose ownership percentage (based on voting power) of ILG's equity securities, giving effect to the transfer, would exceed 15%;

    a transfer of all of the equity securities of ILG beneficially owned by the Liberty Parties and their affiliates in a single transaction if the transferee's ownership percentage (based on voting power), after giving effect to the transfer, would not exceed the Applicable Percentage and only if the transferee assumes all of the rights and obligations (subject to limited exceptions) of the Liberty Parties under the Spinco Agreement relating to ILG;

    specified transfers in connection with changes in the beneficial ownership of the ultimate parent company of a Liberty Party or a distribution of the equity interests of a Liberty Party or certain similar events; and

    specified transfers relating to certain hedging transactions or stock lending transactions in respect of the Liberty Parties' equity securities in ILG, subject to specified restrictions.

        During the first two years following the spin-off, transfers otherwise permitted by the first and third bullets above will be prohibited, and transfers otherwise permitted by the fourth and sixth bullets above in respect of which IAC and ILG do not make certain determinations with respect to the transferee will be prohibited, unless such transfers represent no more than one-third of the ILG common stock received by the Liberty Parties in the spin-off.

92


Competing Offers

        During the period when Liberty continues to have the right to nominate directors to ILG's Board of Directors, if the ILG's Board of Directors determines to pursue certain types of transactions on a negotiated basis (either through an "auction" or with a single bidder), Liberty is granted certain rights to compete with the bidder or bidders, including the right to receive certain notices and information, subject to specified conditions and limitations. In connection with any such transaction that ILG is negotiating with a single bidder, ILG's Board must consider any offer for a transaction made in good faith by Liberty but is not obligated to accept any such offer or to enter into negotiations with Liberty.

        If a third party (i) commences a tender or exchange offer for at least 35% of the capital stock of ILG other than pursuant to an agreement with ILG or (ii) publicly discloses that its ownership percentage (based on voting power) exceeds 20% and ILG's Board fails to take certain actions to block such third party from acquiring an ownership percentage of ILG (based on voting power) exceeding the Applicable Percentage, the Liberty Parties generally will be relieved of the obligations described under "Standstill Restrictions" and "Acquisition Restrictions" above to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Liberty to commence and consummate a competing offer. If Liberty's ownership percentage (based on voting power) as a result of the consummation of a competing offer in response to a tender or exchange offer described in (i) above exceeds 50%, any consent or approval requirements of the Qualified Directors in the Spinco Agreement will be terminated, and, following the later of the second anniversary of the spin-off and the date that Liberty's ownership percentage (based on voting power) exceeds 50%, the obligations described under "Acquisition Restrictions" will be terminated.

Other

        Following the spin-off, amendments to the Spinco Agreement and determinations required to be made thereunder (including approval of transactions between a Liberty Party and ILG that would be reportable under the proxy rules) will require the approval of the Qualified Directors.

Registration Rights Agreement

        As indicated above under "Spinco Agreement," ILG granted to Liberty the registration rights described below at the time of the spin-off.

        Under the registration rights agreement, the Liberty Parties and their permitted transferees (the "Holders") are entitled to three demand registration rights (and unlimited piggyback registration rights) in respect of the shares of ILG common stock received by the Liberty Parties as a result of the spin-off and other shares of ILG common stock acquired by the Liberty Parties consistent with the Spinco Agreement (collectively, the "Registrable Shares"). The Holders are permitted to exercise their registration rights in connection with certain hedging transactions that they may enter into in respect of the Registrable Shares.

        ILG is obligated to indemnify the Holders, and each selling Holder is obligated to indemnify the Spinco, against specified liabilities in connection with misstatements or omissions in any registration statement.

Relationships Among ILG, IAC and the Spincos

        Following the spin-offs, the relationships among IAC, ILG and the other Spincos are governed by a number of agreements. These agreements include, among others:

    a Separation and Distribution Agreement;

    a Tax Sharing Agreement;

    an Employee Matters Agreement; and

93


    a Transition Services Agreement (collectively, the "Spin-Off Agreements").

        The Spin-Off Agreements are filed as exhibits to the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this prospectus is a part, and the summaries of each such agreement are qualified by reference to the full text of the applicable agreement.

Separation and Distribution Agreement

        The Separation and Distribution Agreement sets forth the arrangements among IAC, ILG and each of the other Spincos regarding the principal transactions that were necessary to separate ILG and each of the other Spincos from IAC, as well as governs certain aspects of the relationship of ILG with IAC and other Spincos after the completion of the spin-offs.

        ILG and each other Spinco agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and to cause the other members of its respective group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless), under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, IAC and each of the other Spincos, and each of their respective current and former directors, officers and employees, from and against any losses arising out of any breach by such indemnifying companies of the Spin-Off Agreements, any failure by such indemnifying company to assume and perform any of the liabilities allocated to such company and any liabilities relating to the indemnifying company's financial and business information included in filings made with the SEC in connection with the spin-offs. IAC agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ILG and each of the other Spincos, and each of their respective current and former directors, officers and employees, from and against losses arising out of any breach by IAC of the Spin-Off Agreements, and any failure by IAC to perform its obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Spin-Off Agreement.

        In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement also governs insurance and related reimbursement arrangements, provision and retention of records, access to information and confidentiality, cooperation with respect to governmental filings and third party consents and access to property.

Tax Sharing Agreement

        The Tax Sharing Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of IAC, ILG and each other Spinco after the spin-off with respect to taxes for periods ending on or before the spin-off. In general, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC will prepare and file the consolidated federal income tax return, and any other tax returns that include IAC (or any of its subsidiaries) and ILG (or any of its subsidiaries) for all taxable periods ending on or prior to, or including, the distribution date of ILG with the appropriate tax authorities, and, except as otherwise set forth below, IAC will pay any taxes relating thereto to the relevant tax authority (including any taxes attributable to an audit adjustment with respect to such returns; provided that IAC will not be responsible for audit adjustments relating to the business of ILG (or any of its subsidiaries) with respect to pre-spin off periods if ILG fails to fully cooperate with IAC in the conduct of such audit). ILG will prepare and file all tax returns that include solely ILG and/or its subsidiaries and any separate company tax returns for ILG and/or its subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or prior to, or including, the distribution date of ILG, and will pay all taxes due with respect to such tax returns (including any taxes attributable to an audit adjustment with respect to such returns). In the event an adjustment with respect to a pre-spin off period for which IAC is responsible results in a tax benefit to ILG in a post-spin off period, ILG will be required to pay such tax benefit to IAC. In general, IAC controls all audits and administrative matters and other tax proceedings relating to the consolidated federal income tax return of the IAC group and any other tax returns for which the IAC group is responsible.

        Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, ILG generally (i) may not take (or fail to take) any action that would cause any representation, information or covenant contained in the separation documents or the

94



documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling and the tax opinion regarding the spin-off to be untrue, (ii) may not take (or fail to take) any other action that would cause the spin-off to lose its tax free status, (iii) may not sell, issue, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its equity securities (or equity securities of members of its group), except in certain specified transactions for a period of 25 months following the spin-off, and (iv) may not, other than in the ordinary course of business, sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of its assets, liquidate, merge or consolidate with any other person for a period of 25 months following the spin-off. During the 25-month period, ILG may take certain actions prohibited by these covenants if (i) it obtains IAC's prior written consent, (ii) it provides IAC with an IRS private letter ruling or an unqualified opinion of tax counsel to the effect that such actions will not affect the tax free nature of the spin-off, in each case satisfactory to IAC in its sole discretion, or (iii) IAC obtains a private letter ruling at ILG's request. In addition, with respect to actions or transactions involving acquisitions of ILG stock entered into at least 18 months after the distribution of ILG, ILG will be permitted to proceed with such transaction if it delivers an unconditional officer's certificate establishing facts evidencing that such acquisition satisfies the requirements of a specified safe harbor set forth in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, and IAC, after due diligence, is satisfied with the accuracy of such certification. The other Spincos are generally subject to the same provisions.

        Notwithstanding the receipt of any such IRS ruling, tax opinion or officer's certificate, generally ILG and each other Spinco must indemnify IAC and each other Spinco for any taxes and related losses resulting from (i) any act or failure to act by ILG or such Spinco described in the covenants above, (ii) any acquisition of equity securities or assets of ILG or another Spinco or any member of its group, and (iii) any breach by ILG or another Spinco or any member of its group of any representation or covenant contained in the separation documents or the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling or tax opinion concerning the spin-off of such Spinco.

        Under U.S. federal income tax law, IAC, ILG and the other Spincos are severally liable for all of IAC's federal income taxes attributable to periods prior to and including the current taxable year of IAC, which ends on December 31, 2008. Thus, if IAC failed to pay the federal income taxes attributable to it under the Tax Sharing Agreement for periods prior to and including the current taxable year of IAC, ILG and the other Spincos would be severally liable for such taxes. In the event ILG or another Spinco is required to make a payment in respect of a spin-off related tax liability of the IAC consolidated federal income tax return group under these rules for which such Spinco is not responsible under the Tax Sharing Agreement and full indemnification cannot be obtained from the Spinco responsible for such payment under the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC will indemnify the Spinco that was required to make the payment from and against the portion of such liability for which full indemnification cannot be obtained from the Spinco responsible for such payment under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        The Tax Sharing Agreement also contains provisions regarding the apportionment of tax attributes of the IAC consolidated federal income tax return group, the allocation of deductions with respect to compensatory equity interests, cooperation, and other customary matters. In general, tax deductions arising by reason of exercises of options to acquire IAC, ILG or other Spinco stock, vesting of "restricted" IAC, ILG or other Spinco stock, or settlement of restricted stock units with respect to IAC, ILG or other Spinco stock held by any person will be claimed by the party that employs such person at the time of exercise, vesting or settlement, as applicable (or in the case of a former employee, the party that last employed such person).

Employee Matters Agreement

        The Employee Matters Agreement covers a wide range of compensation and benefit issues related to the spin-offs. In general, under the Employee Matters Agreement:

    IAC assumed or retained (i) all liabilities with respect to IAC employees, former IAC employees (excluding any former employees of the Spincos) and their dependents and beneficiaries under

95


      all IAC employee benefit plans, and (ii) all liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of all IAC employees, former IAC employees (excluding any former employees of the Spincos) and their dependents and beneficiaries; and

    ILG assumed or retained (i) all liabilities under its employee benefit plans, and (ii) all liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of all ILG's employees, former employees and their dependents and beneficiaries.

        Subject to a transition period through the end of 2008 with respect to health and welfare benefits, after the spin-offs, ILG no longer participates in IAC's employee benefit plans and has established its own employee benefit plans that are substantially similar to the plans sponsored by IAC prior to the spin-offs. Through the end of 2008, IAC will continue to provide health and welfare benefits to employees of ILG and ILG will bear the cost of this coverage with respect to its employees. Assets and liabilities from the IAC Retirement Savings Plan relating to ILG employees and former employees will be transferred to the applicable, newly established ILG Retirement Savings Plan as soon as practicable following the spin-offs. For a description of the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards pursuant to the employee matters agreement, see "Management—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Spin-off Adjustments."

Transition Services Agreement

        Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement among IAC, ILG and the other Spincos, some combination of the following services, among others, will be provided by/to the parties (and/or their respective businesses) as set forth below on an interim, transitional basis following completion of the spin-offs:

    assistance with certain legal, finance, internal audit, human resources, insurance and tax affairs, including assistance with certain public company functions, from IAC to the Spincos;

    continued coverage/participation for employees of the Spincos under IAC health and welfare plans on the same basis as immediately prior to the distribution;

    the leasing/subleasing of office and/or data center space by IAC and its businesses to various Spincos (and vice versa);

    assistance with the implementation and hosting of certain software applications by/from IAC and its businesses for various Spincos (and vice versa);

    payroll processing services by Ticketmaster to certain IAC businesses and an ILG business and by HSNi to IAC;

    tax compliance services by HSNi to ILG; and

    such other services as to which any Spinco(s) and IAC may agree.

        The charges for these services will be on a cost plus fixed percentage or agreed upon hourly rate basis. In general, the services to be provided by/to the parties (and/or their respective businesses) began on the date of the completion of the spin-offs and will cover a period generally not expected to exceed 12 months following the spin-offs. Any party may terminate the agreement with respect to one or more particular services being received by it upon such notice as will be provided for in the Transition Services Agreement.

Commercial Agreements

        Below is a brief description of commercial agreements between ILG and IAC or another Spinco that, individually or together with similar agreements, involve revenues to either IAC or a Spinco in excess of $120,000.

96


        Certain subsidiaries of ILG distribute their respective products and services via arrangements with certain subsidiaries of IAC and/or other Spincos (and vice versa). For example, Interval promotes and distributes ticketing services for certain events, either through advance access or by passing along a deeper discount to its members via a link to the Ticketmaster booking engine. Distribution agreements generally involve the payment of fees (usually on a fixed-per-transaction, revenue sharing or commission basis) from the party seeking distribution of the product or service to the party that is providing the distribution.

        Aggregate revenues earned in respect of commercial agreements between ILG and IAC by ILG subsidiaries from businesses that IAC owned following the distribution were not material in 2007. Aggregate payments made by ILG subsidiaries to IAC subsidiaries in respect of these agreements were approximately $2.1 million in 2007. Such numbers include payments to and received from Entertainment Publications, Inc., which was sold by IAC subsequent to December 31, 2007.

Certain Other Relationships and Related Person Transactions

        We were subject to the policies and procedures of IAC regarding the review and approval of related person transactions prior to the consummation of the spin-off. Immediately prior to the spin-off, we adopted a formal written policy governing the review and approval of related person transactions. This policy requires the management of the Company to determine whether any proposed transaction, arrangement or relationship with a related person falls within the definition of "transaction" set forth in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and if so, requires management to submit such transaction to the Company's Audit Committee for approval. The Audit Committee, in considering whether to approve related person transactions, would then consider all facts and circumstances that it deemed relevant.

        The disclosure below describes related person transactions involving the Company and related parties of IAC prior to the spin-off, as well as certain relationships involving the Company and its related parties. The terms "related person" and "transaction" have the meanings set forth in Item 404(a) of Regulations S-K under the Securities Act.

        In 2007, an ILG subsidiary made payments to Arise Virtual Solutions in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.2 million for call center services. Arise Virtual Solutions is a related party of IAC because it is a portfolio company of Accretive LLC, of which Mr. Edgar Bronfman, a member of the IAC Board of Directors, is a partner.

        In 2007, ILG received payments from Expedia subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of approximately $380,000, which amount represents commissions payable to ILG in connection with the booking of travel accommodations from certain Expedia travel suppliers through an existing affiliate distribution relationship. IAC and Expedia are related parties because they are under common control.

97



DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

        We summarize below the principal terms of the agreements that govern our senior secured credit facilities. This summary is not a complete description of all of the terms of the relevant agreements.

New Senior Secured Credit Facilities

        Interval Acquisition Corp. is the borrower under the new senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities have been provided by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provide financing of up to $200.0 million, consisting of $150.0 million in term A loans with a maturity of five years and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of five years. In addition, subject to certain conditions, including compliance with certain financial covenants, the senior secured credit facilities will permit Interval Acquisition Corp. to incur incremental term A and revolving loans under such facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million. No commitment in respect of such incremental loans exists or shall exist as of date the term loans are issued.

        The proceeds of the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facilities were used, together with the notes, to fund a dividend to IAC, to fund fees and expenses of the spin-off, financing and related transactions and will be used for ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. Funds drawn from the revolving credit facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Interest Rate and Fees

        The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the senior secured credit facilities are, at Interval Acquisition Corp.'s option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, which varies with the total leverage ratio of Interval Acquisition Corp. (but were initially fixed at 2.75% per annum for LIBOR term loans, 2.25% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans, 1.75% per annum for base rate term loans and 1.25% for base rate revolving loans). The base rate means the greater of the rate as quoted from time to time by Wachovia Bank, N.A. as its prime rate and one-half of 1.0% over the federal funds rate. Interval Acquisition Corp. is also required to pay a facility fee of 50 basis points on the revolving credit facility under the senior secured credit facilities. A commitment fee of 50 basis points was owed in respect of the term loan from the execution of the credit agreement on July 25, 2008 until the term loan was drawn on August 19, 2008.

Prepayments

        The senior secured credit facilities require Interval Acquisition Corp. to prepay outstanding term loans and the revolving loans, subject to certain exceptions (including a right of reinvestment of assets sale proceeds in Interval Acquisition Corp.'s business), with the proceeds of certain assets sales, casualty insurance and recovery events, the incurrence of certain indebtedness and a percentage of annual excess cash flow.

Amortization

        The term loans will amortize in an amount equal to 10% of the original principal amount during 2009, 10% of in 2010, 15% in 2011, 15% in 2012 and 50% in 2013. No term loan amortization payments are due in 2008. The amortization of the term loans for each year shall be payable in equal quarterly installments, except that the amortization for 2013 shall be paid in equal installments at each quarter end in 2013 prior to the maturity date for the term loans and on the maturity date of the term loans. Any voluntary prepayments made on the term loans from time to time may be applied against otherwise scheduled amortization obligations. Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit

98



facility will be due and payable in full at maturity, five years from the date of the closing of the senior secured credit facilities.

Guarantee and Security

        All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by ILG and each of our existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, subject to a materiality threshold. All obligations of Interval Acquisition Corp. under the senior secured credit facilities and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by (subject to certain exceptions) (i) a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of (x) each of the domestic subsidiaries of Interval Acquisition Corp. and (y) Interval Acquisition Corp. and the subsidiary guarantors, (ii) a first priority pledge of 65% of the equity interests of each of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of Interval Acquisition Corp., and (iii) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the other assets of Interval Acquisition Corp. and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions).

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

        The senior secured credit facilities contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of Interval Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, pay dividends and other restricted payments and prepay unsecured indebtedness. The senior secured credit facilities have two financial covenants: a maximum total leverage ratio initially of 3.90 to 1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio initially of 2.75 to 1.00. The senior secured credit facilities also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the credit agreement).

99



THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        On August 19, 2008, $300.0 million principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, the old notes to which the exchange offer applies, were issued by Interval Acquisition Corp. to IAC in reliance on exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. IAC exchanged the old notes on August 20, 2008 for the IAC Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. The old notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of the issuer's domestic subsidiaries and by the issuer's parent, ILG. In connection with the offering of the old notes, the issuer and the guarantors agreed to conduct the exchange offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement with the noteholders that exchanged certain of their IAC Notes for the old notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the issuer and the guarantors agreed, among other things, to:

    file with the SEC an exchange offer registration statement relating to the new notes on or prior to October 4, 2008;

    use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective on or prior to the 90th day after such filing date; and

    use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the exchange offer not more than 45 business days after the effective date of the registration statement.

        The issuer and the guarantors are conducting the exchange offer to satisfy these obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

        Under some circumstances, the issuer and the guarantors may be required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to be declared effective, in lieu of the exchange offer registration statement, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the old notes. If the issuer and the guarantors fail to meet specified deadlines under the Registration Rights Agreement, then the issuer will be obligated to pay additional interest to holders of the old notes. See "—Registration Rights; Additional Interest."

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        The issuer and the guarantors are offering to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million of new notes and guarantees thereof for a like aggregate principal amount of old notes and guarantees thereof. The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes for which they are exchanged and will, like the old notes, be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the indenture. The form and terms of the new notes issued in the exchange offer will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes:

    will have been registered under the Securities Act;

    will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;

    will not entitle holders to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and

    will not contain provisions relating to additional interest in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.

        The exchange offer is not extended to holders of old notes in any jurisdiction where the exchange offer would not comply with the securities or blue sky laws of that jurisdiction.

100


        As of the date of this prospectus, $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of old notes is outstanding and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, or DTC. Only registered holders of the old notes, or their legal representatives or attorneys-in-fact, as reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture, may participate in the exchange offer. The issuer and the guarantors will not set a fixed record date for determining registered holders of the old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to all registered holders of old notes and to others believed to have beneficial interests in the old notes.

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, the issuer will accept for exchange old notes which are properly tendered on or before the expiration date and not withdrawn as permitted below. The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on    •    , 200    •    or such later date and time to which the issuer may extend the exchange offer, such date referred to as the expiration date.

        Old notes tendered in the exchange offer must be in denominations of the principal amount of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon holders tendering a minimum principal amount of old notes.

        If you do not tender your old notes or if you tender old notes that are not accepted for exchange, your old notes will remain outstanding. Existing transfer restrictions would continue to apply to old notes that remain outstanding. See "—Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes" for more information regarding old notes outstanding after the exchange offer. Holders of the old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer.

        None of the issuer and the guarantors, their respective boards of directors or their management recommends that you tender or not tender old notes in the exchange offer or has authorized anyone to make any recommendation. You must decide whether to tender old notes in the exchange offer and, if you decide to tender, the aggregate amount of old notes to tender.

        The issuer has the right, in its reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable law, at any time:

    to extend the expiration date;

    to delay the acceptance of any old notes;

    to terminate the exchange offer and not accept any old notes for exchange if the issuer determines that any of the conditions to the exchange offer described below under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" have not occurred or have not been satisfied; and

    to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

        During an extension, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by the issuer.

        We will give oral or written notice of any extension, delay, non-acceptance, termination or amendment to the exchange agent as promptly as practicable and make a public announcement of the extension, delay, non-acceptance, termination or amendment. In the case of an extension, the announcement will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

        If the issuer amends the exchange offer in a manner that we consider material, we will as promptly as practicable distribute to the holders of the old notes a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, an updated prospectus from a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, disclosing the change and extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten

101


business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

Valid Tender

        When the holder of old notes tenders, and the issuer accepts, old notes for exchange, a binding agreement between the issuer and the guarantors, on the one hand, and the tendering holder, on the other hand, is created, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal.

        Except as described below under "—Guaranteed Delivery," a holder of old notes who wishes to tender old notes for exchange must, on or prior to the expiration date:

    transmit a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent at the address provided below under "—Exchange Agent"; or

    if old notes are tendered in accordance with the book-entry procedures described below under "—Book-Entry Transfers," arrange with DTC to cause an agent's message to be transmitted to the exchange agent at the address provided below under "—Exchange Agent."

        The term "agent's message" means a message transmitted to the exchange agent by DTC which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that the issuer and the guarantors may enforce the letter of transmittal against that holder.

        In tendering old notes, you must warrant in the letter of transmittal or in an agent's message that:

    you have full power and authority to tender, exchange, sell, assign and transfer old notes;

    we will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the tendered old notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and other encumbrances; and

    the old notes tendered for exchange are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies.

        You also must warrant and agree that you will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents requested by us or the exchange agent to complete the exchange, sale, assignment and transfer of the old notes.

        In addition, on or prior to the expiration date:

    the exchange agent must receive the certificates for the old notes being tendered; or

    the exchange agent must receive a confirmation, referred to as a "book-entry confirmation," of the book-entry transfer of the old notes being tendered into the exchange agent's account at DTC, and the book-entry confirmation must include an agent's message; or

    the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below under "—Guaranteed Delivery."

        If you beneficially own old notes and those notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian and you wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender the old notes on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

102


        The method of delivery of certificates for the old notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and sole risk. If delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. Delivery is complete when the exchange agent actually receives the items to be delivered. Delivery of documents to DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. Do not send letters of transmittal, certificates representing old notes or other documents to the issuer or any guarantor.

        The issuer and the guarantors will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders. Each tendering holder, by execution of a letter of transmittal or by causing the transmission of an agent's message, waives any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of such tender.

Signature Guarantees

        Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed unless the old notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

    by a registered holder of old notes, unless such holder has completed either the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or

    for the account of an eligible institution.

        An "eligible institution" is a firm or other entity which is identified as an "Eligible Guarantor Institution" in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, including:

    a bank;

    a broker, dealer, municipal securities broker or dealer or government securities broker or dealer;

    a credit union;

    a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or

    a savings association.

If signatures on a letter of transmittal or notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantor must be an eligible institution.

        If old notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the letter of transmittal, the old notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by the issuer and the guarantors in their sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the holder's signature guaranteed by an eligible institution, and must also be accompanied by such opinions of counsel, certifications and other information as the issuer and the guarantors or the trustee under the indenture for the old notes may require in accordance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to the old notes.

Book-Entry Transfers

        For tenders by book-entry transfer of old notes cleared through DTC, the exchange agent will make a request to establish an account at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer the old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a

103



participant in DTC may use the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, procedures to tender old notes. Accordingly, any participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer those old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's ATOP procedures.

        Notwithstanding the ability of holders of old notes to effect delivery of old notes through book-entry transfer at DTC, either:

    the letter of transmittal or an agent's message in lieu of the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, such as endorsements, bond powers, opinions of counsel, certifications and powers of attorney, if applicable, must be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date at the address given below under "—Exchange Agent"; or

    the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

Guaranteed Delivery

        If a holder wants to tender old notes in the exchange offer and (1) the certificates for the old notes are not immediately available or all required documents are unlikely to reach the exchange agent before the exchange offer expires or (2) a book-entry transfer cannot be completed on time, the old notes may be tendered if:

    the tender is made by or through an eligible institution;

    the eligible institution delivers a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided, to the exchange agent by hand, facsimile, mail or overnight delivery service on or prior to the expiration date:
    stating that the tender is being made;

    setting forth the name and address of the holder of the old notes being tendered and the amount of the old notes being tendered; and

    guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered old notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or an agent's message in lieu thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and

    the exchange agent receives the certificates for the old notes, or a book-entry confirmation, and a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or an agent's message in lieu thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery.

Determination of Validity

        The issuer, in its sole discretion, will resolve all questions regarding the form of documents, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange of any tendered old notes. The determination of these questions by the issuer, as well as its interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. A tender of old notes is invalid until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived.

104



Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes for exchange within such reasonable period of time as the issuer and the guarantors will determine, unless they waive the defects or irregularities. None of the issuer and the guarantors, any of their respective affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent or any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them be liable for failing to give any such notice.

        The issuer reserves the absolute right, in its sole and absolute discretion:

    to reject any tenders determined to be in improper form or unlawful;

    to waive any of the conditions of the exchange offer; or

    to waive any condition or irregularity in the tender of old notes by any holder, whether or not the issuer waives similar conditions or irregularities in the case of other holders.

        If any letter of transmittal, certificate, endorsement, bond power, power of attorney or any other document required by the letter of transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate such capacity when signing. In addition, unless waived by the issuer, the person must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the issuer, in its sole discretion, of the person's authority to so act.

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of New Notes

        Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, the issuer will, promptly after the expiration date, accept for exchange and cancel all old notes properly tendered and issue new notes registered under the Securities Act. See "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" for a discussion of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived before old notes are accepted for exchange. The exchange agent might not deliver the new notes to all tendering holders at the same time. The timing of delivery depends upon when the exchange agent receives and processes the required documents.

        For purposes of the exchange offer, the issuer will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered old notes for exchange when it gives oral or written notice to the exchange agent of acceptance of the tendered old notes, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter. The exchange agent is the agent of the issuer for receiving tenders of old notes, letters of transmittal and related documents.

        In all cases, the issuer will issue new notes in the exchange offer for old notes that are accepted for exchange only after the exchange agent timely receives:

    certificates for those old notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of the transfer of those old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC;

    a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message; and

    all other required documents, such as endorsements, bond powers, opinions of counsel, certifications and powers of attorney, if applicable.

        For each old note accepted for exchange and cancelled, the holder will receive a new note registered under the Securities Act having a principal amount equal to, and in the denomination of, that of the surrendered old note. Accordingly, registered holders of new notes issued in the exchange offer on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the old notes or, if no interest has been paid on the old notes, from August 19, 2008. Old notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of consummation of the exchange offer and will be cancelled promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

105


        If for any reason under the terms and conditions of the exchange offer the issuer does not accept any tendered old notes, or if a holder submits old notes for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the issuer will return the unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes without cost to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, any unexchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.

Resales of New Notes

        Based on interpretive letters issued by the SEC staff to other, unrelated issuers in transactions similar to the exchange offer, we believe that a holder of new notes, other than a broker-dealer, may offer new notes (together with the guarantees thereof) for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes (and the related guarantees) without delivering a prospectus to prospective purchasers, if the holder:

    acquired the new notes in its ordinary course of business;

    is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution," as defined under the Securities Act, of the new notes; and

    is not an "affiliate," as defined under the Securities Act, of the issuer or any guarantor.

We will not seek our own interpretive letter. As a result, we cannot assure you that the SEC staff would take the same position with respect to this exchange offer as it did in interpretive letters to other parties in similar transactions.

        If the holder is an affiliate of the issuer or any guarantor or is engaged in, or intends to engage in, or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the new notes, that holder or other person may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

        By tendering old notes, the holder of those old notes will represent to the issuer and the guarantors that, among other things, the holder:

    is acquiring the new notes in its ordinary course of business;

    is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes in violation of the Securities Act;

    is not an affiliate of the issuer or any guarantor; and

    is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

        Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where the old notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution and Selling Restrictions" for a discussion of the exchange and resale obligations of broker-dealers in connection with the exchange offer and the new notes.

106


Withdrawal Rights

        You can withdraw tenders of old notes at any time prior to the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent or comply with the appropriate procedures of ATOP. Any notice of withdrawal must:

    specify the name of the person that tendered the old notes to be withdrawn;

    identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of those old notes; and

    where certificates for old notes are transmitted, the name of the registered holder of the old notes, if different from that of the person withdrawing the old notes.

        If you delivered or otherwise identified certificated old notes to the exchange agent, you must submit the serial numbers of the old notes to be withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution, except in the case of old notes tendered for the account of an eligible institution. See "—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Signature Guarantees" for further information on the requirements for guarantees of signatures on notices of withdrawal. If you tendered old notes in accordance with applicable book-entry transfer procedures, the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and you must deliver the notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent. You may not rescind withdrawals of tender; however, old notes properly withdrawn may again be tendered at any time on or prior to the expiration date in accordance with the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes."

        The issuer will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, all questions regarding the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal. Its determination of these questions as well as its interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. None of the issuer and the guarantors, any of their respective affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent or any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will any of them be liable for failing to give any such notice.

        Withdrawn old notes will be returned to the holder as promptly as practicable after withdrawal without cost to the holder. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, the old notes withdrawn will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, the issuer is not required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in exchange for, any old notes, and the issuer and the guarantors may terminate or amend the exchange offer, if:

    at any time prior to the expiration date, the issuer and the guarantors determine that the exchange offer violates applicable law or SEC policy;

    an action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer;

    a material adverse development shall have occurred with respect to the issuer; or

    all governmental approvals have not been obtained that the issuer deems necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer.

107


        In addition, with respect to any holder, the exchange offer is conditioned on the tender of the old notes to us by such holder in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal.

        The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, or we may waive the conditions, completely or partially, whenever or as many times as we choose, in our reasonable discretion. The foregoing rights are not deemed waived because we fail to exercise them, but continue in effect, and we may still assert them whenever or as many times as we choose. If we determine that a waiver of conditions materially changes the exchange offer, the prospectus will be amended or supplemented, and the exchange offer extended, if appropriate, as described under "—Terms of the Exchange Offer."

        In addition, at a time when any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or with respect to the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and no new notes will be issued in exchange for any such old notes.

        If the issuer and the guarantors are not permitted to consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy, the Registration Rights Agreement requires that the issuer and the guarantors file with the SEC, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act, a shelf registration statement relating to the offer and sale of notes. See "—Registration Rights; Additional Interest."

Exchange Agent

        The Bank of New York Mellon is serving as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent. Holders of old notes seeking to tender old notes in the exchange offer should send certificates for old notes, letters of transmittal and any other required documents to the exchange agent by registered, certified or regular mail, hand delivery, overnight delivery service or facsimile, as follows:

For all forms of delivery:

The Bank of New York Mellon
Corporate Trust Operations
Reorganization Unit
101 Barclay Street—7 East
New York, NY 10286
Attn: Mr. Randolph Holder
Facsimile: 212-298-1915
For confirmation call: 212-815-5098

        If you deliver the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to an address other than as set forth above or transmit the letter of transmittal or any other required documentation via facsimile to a number other than as indicated above, your tender of old notes will be invalid.

Fees and Expenses

        The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the issuer and the guarantors will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their obligations relating to the registration of the new notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include, among others, registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

108


        We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

Transfer Taxes

        Holders who tender their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the exchange. If, however, new notes issued in the exchange offer are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the holder of the old notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes in connection with the exchange offer, then any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person, will be payable by the holder or such other person. If satisfactory evidence of payment of, or exemption from, such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.

Accounting Treatment

        The new notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the old notes. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes. We intend to amortize the expenses of the exchange offer and the issuance of the old notes over the term of the new notes.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes

        Holders of the old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in the exchange offer. Old notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the consummation of the exchange offer, remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the old notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legends on the old notes. In general, the old notes, unless registered under the Securities Act, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Following the consummation of the exchange offer, the issuer and the guarantors will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of the old notes. See "—Registration Rights; Additional Interest." We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action following the consummation of the exchange offer to register the old notes under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.

        Consummation of the exchange offer may have adverse consequences to non-tendering old note holders, including that the reduced amount of outstanding old notes as a result of the exchange offer may adversely affect the trading market, liquidity and market price of the old notes. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and the Notes—If you fail to comply with the procedures for tendering old notes, your old notes will remain outstanding after the consummation of the exchange offer" for further information.

        The new notes and any old notes which remain outstanding after consummation of the exchange offer will vote together for all purposes as a single class under the indenture.

Registration Rights; Additional Interest

        The issuer and the guarantors may elect to effect an exchange offer to offer registered notes to the holders or, if:

    applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit the issuer and the guarantors to effect an exchange offer; or

109


    any holder of old notes (other than an initial purchaser) is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer,

then in lieu of effecting the exchange offer, the issuer and the guarantors will, at their cost,

    as promptly as practicable, file a shelf registration statement with the SEC covering resales of the old notes or the new notes;

    use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act; and

    use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective until the earliest of (x) the second anniversary of the date of original issuance of the notes, (y) the date on which all of the notes or exchange notes, as applicable, covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold pursuant to the shelf registration statement and (z) the expiration of the time period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

        If:

    neither the exchange offer registration statement nor the shelf registration statement has been declared effective on or prior to February 16, 2009; or

    in the case of a shelf registration statement, after the shelf registration statement has been declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable (subject to certain exceptions) during the periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, and such failure to be effective or usuable for more than 60 days (whether or no consecutive),

then interest, referred to in this section of the prospectus as additional interest, will accrue on the principal amount of the old notes (in addition to the stated interest on the old notes) from and including the date on which any such registration default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all registration defaults have been cured. Additional interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a registration default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such rate exceed 1.00% per annum. Upon the cure of all registration defaults, the accrual of additional interest shall cease.

        Holders of the old notes will be required to make specified representations to the issuer in order to participate in the exchange offer. In order to have their old notes included in the shelf registration statement and benefit from the provisions regarding default damages set forth above, holders of the old notes will be required to deliver specified information to be used in the shelf registration statement. By acquiring old notes or new notes, a holder will be deemed to have agreed to indemnify the issuer and the guarantors against certain losses arising out of information furnished by such holder in writing for inclusion in any shelf registration statement. Holders of old notes will also be required to suspend their use of the prospectus included in the shelf registration statement under specified circumstances upon receipt of written notice to that effect from the issuer.

        For further information concerning the registration rights of holders of old notes, you should refer to the Registration Rights Agreement, which we have filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

110



DESCRIPTION OF NEW NOTES

General

        The old notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of August 19, 2008, with the Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of August 20, 2008 (together, the "indenture"). The issuer will issue the new notes under the indenture. We have filed a copy of the indenture as Exhibit 4.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        The terms of the new notes will be identical in all material respects to the terms of the old notes, except that the new notes:

    will have been registered under the Securities Act;

    will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;

    will not entitle holders to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and

    will not contain provisions relating to additional interest in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.

        This "Description of New Notes" section is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture and the new notes (the "New Notes"). It does not purport to restate those documents in their entirety and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the indenture and the notes, including the definitions of certain terms therein and those terms made a part thereof by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Capitalized terms used in this "Description of New Notes" section and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in this section under the caption "Certain Definitions." As used in this "Description of New Notes" section:

    each of the terms "Issuer," "we," "us," "our" or similar terms refer only to Interval Acquisition Corp., and not to any of our subsidiaries;

    references to "Guarantors" shall mean Parent and our direct and indirect Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes; and

    references to "Parent" shall mean our parent, ILG, and its successors, in each case together with each Subsidiary of Parent that beneficially owns any of our Equity Interests.

Holding Company Structure

        The Issuer is a holding company and does not have any material assets or operations other than ownership of the Capital Stock of its subsidiaries and joint ventures. All of its operations are conducted through its Subsidiaries. As a result, the Issuer depends on the cash flow of its Subsidiaries to meet its obligations, including its obligations under the Notes. Claims of creditors of such Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, including trade creditors, and claims of preferred stockholders, if any, of such Subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such Subsidiaries over the claims of the Issuer's creditors, including holders of the Notes. The Notes, therefore, are structurally subordinated to creditors, including trade creditors, and preferred stockholders, if any, of our Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees

The Notes

        The Notes will be:

    general unsecured obligations of the Issuer;

111


    ranked equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing and future senior debt;

    ranked senior in right of payment to all of the Issuer's future Subordinated Indebtedness, if any;

    ranked effectively junior to (i) all debt and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our Subsidiaries (if any) that are not Guarantors and (ii) all secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, including our obligations under the Credit Agreement; and

    fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

        Although the Notes are titled "senior," we have not issued, and do not currently have any plans to issue, any indebtedness which would be subordinated to the Notes.

        The Notes will be issued in fully registered form only, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Guarantees

        The Notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantors, which initially will include ILG and all of our direct and indirect Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries. Not all of our Subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, these non-guarantor Subsidiaries will be obligated to pay the holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. On a pro forma basis, as of June 30, 2008, we had $450.0 million of outstanding debt on a consolidated basis, of which $150.0 million would have been secured debt (excluding $50.0 million of unused revolving commitments, net of any letters of credit usage, under our senior secured credit facilities.) Our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $29.5 million, or 13.4%, of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $47.1 million, or 13.1%, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, and approximately $108.8 million, or 11.7%, of our total assets and approximately $62.1 million, or 14.5%, of our total liabilities as of June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, on a pro forma basis, our non-guarantor subsidiaries would have accounted for approximately 11.0% of our total assets and 7.2% of our total liabilities.

        The Guarantees will:

    be general unsecured obligations of each Guarantor;

    rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor;

    rank senior in right of payment to all future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any; and

    rank effectively junior to secured obligations of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, including the secured guarantee by such Guarantor of our obligations under the Credit Agreement.

        As of the Issue Date, all of our Domestic Subsidiaries will be Restricted Subsidiaries and will be Guarantors. Under certain circumstances, we will be permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the restrictive covenants in the indenture. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the Notes. Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Domestic Subsidiaries will not be required to guarantee the Notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million. Additional Notes may be issued under the indenture from time to time in an unlimited amount, subject to compliance with the restrictions set forth under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness. Any

112



additional Notes will be part of the same series as the Notes offered hereby and will vote on all matters as a single series with the Notes offered in this offering. All references to the Notes include additional Notes. The Notes will mature on September 1, 2016.

        Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 9.5% per annum, and will be payable semiannually in cash on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2009, to holders of record on the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15 (whether or not a business day), respectively. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 19, 2008. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

        The Notes will be payable both as to principal and interest at our office or agency maintained for such purpose or, at our option, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of holders of Notes. Until otherwise designated by us, our office or agency maintained for such purpose will be the office of the Trustee.

Guarantees

        Each Guarantor will, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, guarantee the Issuer's obligations under the Notes. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the extent necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes and Our Indebtedness—Our being subject to certain fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws may have adverse implications for the holders of the notes." Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee will be entitled to a pro rata contribution from each other Guarantor based on the respective net assets of each other Guarantor.

        Each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to us or another Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary, or with or to other persons in a transaction that complies with "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales" or "—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," as applicable.

        The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be deemed automatically discharged and released in accordance with the terms of the indenture:

            (1)   in connection with any direct or indirect sale, conveyance or other disposition of the capital stock of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) following which such Guarantor ceases to be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Issuer if such sale or disposition is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the indenture (see "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales");

            (2)   if such Guarantor is dissolved or liquidated in accordance with the provisions of the indenture;

            (3)   if we designate any such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of the indenture; or

            (4)   upon a discharge of the indenture in accordance with "—Satisfaction and Discharge" or upon any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the indenture.

Optional Redemption

        The Notes will not be redeemable prior to September 1, 2012. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 days' or more than 60 days' notice, at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to such redemption date.

113


Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, or by lot or in accordance with the Trustee's customary practices, subject to the applicable rules of DTC; provided that no Notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, so long as we do not default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Change of Control

        Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, we will be required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase (subject to the rights of holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive payments of interest on the related interest payment date) (in either case, the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, we will be required to mail a notice to each holder stating:

            (1)   that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant entitled "Change of Control";

            (2)   the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days after the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date");

            (3)   that any Notes not tendered will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the indenture;

            (4)   that, unless we default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

            (5)   that holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second business day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such holder is unconditionally withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased;

            (6)   that holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

            (7)   any other information material to such holder's decision to tender Notes.

        We will be required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes required in the event of a Change of Control. We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a

114


third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us. Our obligations in respect of a Change of Control Offer can be modified with the consent of holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

        Due to our leveraged structure and the terms of other indebtedness to which we and our Subsidiaries are or may in the future be subject, we may not be able to repurchase all of the Notes tendered upon a Change of Control. See "Risk Factors—Risks Factors Related to the Notes and Our Indebtedness—Upon a change of control, we may not have the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture governing the notes, which would violate the terms of the notes." If we fail to repurchase all of the Notes tendered for purchase upon a Change of Control, such failure will constitute an Event of Default. In addition, the occurrence of certain of the events which would constitute a Change of Control would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement and may constitute an event of default under future Indebtedness. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require us to purchase the Notes could cause a default under such Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of the repurchase on us. Finally, our ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a Change of Control may be limited by our then existing financial resources.

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of our assets. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, if we dispose of less than all our assets by any of the means described above, the ability of a holder of Notes to require us to repurchase its Notes may be uncertain.

        Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain any provisions that permit the holders of the Notes to require that we repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Restricted Payments

        The indenture provides that neither we nor any of our Restricted Subsidiaries may, directly or indirectly:

            (a)   pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of any Equity Interests of us other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of us;

            (b)   purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any of our Equity Interests or Equity Interests of Parent, or any Subordinated Indebtedness, other than (i) Subordinated Indebtedness within one year of the stated maturity date thereof and (ii) any such Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness owned by us or by any Restricted Subsidiary;

            (c)   pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of any Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary, other than:

                (i)  to us or any Restricted Subsidiary;

115


               (ii)  to all holders of any class or series of Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis; or

              (iii)  make any Restricted Investment;

(all such prohibited payments and other actions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

                (i)  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

               (ii)  after giving effect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness the net proceeds of which are used to finance such Restricted Payment, the Issuer is able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness in compliance with the first paragraph of the covenant description under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness"; and

              (iii)  such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate of all other Restricted Payments made after the date of the indenture, is less than the sum of:

                (A)  50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting period) from July 1, 2008 to the end of our most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit); plus

                (B)  an amount equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value of any property or assets received by us either from capital contributions, or from the issue or sale (including an issue or sale to Parent) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of us (other than Equity Interests sold to any of our Subsidiaries), following the Issue Date and (y) the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Subsidiary) incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date is reduced on the Issuer's balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange into Qualified Capital Stock (less the amount of any cash, or the fair market value of assets, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange); plus

                (C)  if any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated by us as a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to the fair market value of the net Investment by us or a Restricted Subsidiary in such Subsidiary at the time of such designation; provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed the amount of Restricted Investments made by us or any Restricted Subsidiary in any such Unrestricted Subsidiary following the Issue Date which reduced the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (iii) less amounts received by us or any Restricted Subsidiary from such Unrestricted Subsidiary that increased the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (D) below; plus

                (D)  100% of any cash dividends and other cash distributions actually received by us and our Restricted Subsidiaries from an Unrestricted Subsidiary since the Issue Date to the extent not included in Consolidated Net Income; plus

                (E)  to the extent not included in clauses (A) through (D) above, an amount equal to the net reduction in Restricted Investments of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries following the Issue Date resulting from payments in cash of interest on Indebtedness, dividends, or repayment of loans or advances, or other transfers of property, in each case, to us or to a Restricted Subsidiary or from the net cash proceeds from the sale, conveyance, liquidation or other disposition of any such Restricted Investment.

116


        The foregoing provisions will not prohibit the following (provided that with respect to clause (7) below, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing):

            (1)   the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;

            (2)   the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of (x) any Equity Interests of us in exchange for, or out of the net proceeds of the substantially concurrent capital contribution from Parent or from the substantially concurrent issue or sale (including to Parent) of, Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of us (other than Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) issued or sold to any Subsidiary) or (y) Subordinated Indebtedness of us or any Restricted Subsidiary (a) in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance and sale of, Qualified Capital Stock, (b) in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent incurrence of, Refinancing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under clause (10) of the covenant described below under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness" or other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under such covenant or (c) with the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or upon a Change of Control, in each case, to the extent required by the agreement governing such Subordinated Indebtedness but only if we shall have previously applied such Net Proceeds to make an Excess Proceeds Offer or make a Change of Control Offer, as the case may be, in accordance with "—Excess Proceeds Offer" or "—Change of Control" and purchased all Notes validly tendered pursuant to the relevant offer prior to redeeming or repurchasing such Subordinated Indebtedness;

            (3)   the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries or shares of Preferred Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary issued in accordance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness";

            (4)   repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants or upon the vesting of restricted stock units if such Equity Interests represent the exercise price of such options or warrants or represent withholding taxes due upon such exercise or vesting;

            (5)   Restricted Payments from the net proceeds of the Notes and the initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement as described in this prospectus;

            (6)   other Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed $40.0 million;

            (7)   amounts paid by us to Parent in an amount sufficient to permit Parent to pay reasonable and necessary accounting, legal, general overhead and administrative expenses of Parent (including amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of "—Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates" below) but only to the extent such expenses are directly attributable to the ownership or operation of us and our Subsidiaries;

            (8)   Specified Affiliate Payments; and

            (9)   the Transactions.

        Restricted Payments made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant and clause (1) of the second paragraph of this covenant shall be included as Restricted Payments in any computation made pursuant to clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this covenant. Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (2) through (9) of the second paragraph of this covenant shall not be included as Restricted Payments in any computation made pursuant to clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this covenant.

        If we or any Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Investment and the person in which such Investment was made subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such Investment resulted in a reduction in the amounts calculated under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this

117



covenant or under any other provision of this covenant (which was not subsequently reversed), then such amount shall be increased by the amount of such reduction.

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness

        The indenture provides that we shall not, and shall not permit any of our Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or permit any of our Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Equity Interests; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, we and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and any Guarantor may issue Preferred Equity Interests, if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Preferred Equity Interests, the Consolidated Senior Indebtedness Leverage Ratio of the Issuer would have been no greater than 4.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom) and the Consolidated Total Indebtedness Leverage Ratio of the Issuer would have been no greater than 5.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom).

        The foregoing limitation will not apply to any of the following incurrences of Indebtedness:

            (1)   Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the Guarantees in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $300.0 million;

            (2)   Indebtedness of us or any Restricted Subsidiary under any Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the excess of $275.0 million over the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities permanently repaid pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Asset Sales";

            (3)   (x) Indebtedness among us and our Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that any such Indebtedness owed by us or a Guarantor to any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, shall be subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Notes or the Guarantees, as applicable, and (y) Preferred Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary held by us or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if such Preferred Equity Interests are issued by a Guarantor, such Preferred Equity Interests are held by us or a Guarantor;

            (4)   Acquired Debt of a person incurred prior to the date upon which such person was acquired by us or any Restricted Subsidiary (and not created in contemplation of such acquisition); provided that the aggregate principal amount of Acquired Debt pursuant to this clause (4) (when aggregated with the amount of Refinancing Indebtedness outstanding under clause (10) below in respect of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4)) shall not exceed $35.0 million outstanding at any time;

            (5)   Existing Indebtedness;

            (6)   Indebtedness consisting of Purchase Money Indebtedness in an aggregate amount (when aggregated with the amount of Refinancing Indebtedness outstanding under clause (10) below in respect of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (6)) not to exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets outstanding at any time;

            (7)   Hedging Obligations of us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries covering Indebtedness of us or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such Hedging Obligations are entered into for purposes of managing interest rate exposure of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries and not for speculative purposes;

118


            (8)   Foreign Currency Obligations of us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries entered into to manage exposure of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries to fluctuations in currency values and not for speculative purposes;

            (9)   Indebtedness of us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of performance bonds, bankers' acceptances or letters of credit of us or any Restricted Subsidiary or surety or appeal bonds provided by us or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred in the ordinary course of business and on ordinary business terms in connection with a Permitted Business;

            (10) the incurrence by us or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness issued in exchange for, or the proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, substitute or refund in whole or in part, Indebtedness referred to in the first paragraph of this covenant or in clause (1), (4), (5) or (6) above or this clause (10) ("Refinancing Indebtedness"); provided, however, that:

              (A)  the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount and accrued interest of the Indebtedness so exchanged, extended, refinanced, renewed, replaced, substituted or refunded and any premiums payable and reasonable fees, expenses, commissions and costs in connection therewith;

              (B)  the Refinancing Indebtedness shall have a final maturity equal to or later than, and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, of the Indebtedness being exchanged, extended, refinanced, renewed, replaced, substituted or refunded;

              (C)  the Refinancing Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees, if at all, on terms at least as favorable to the holders of Notes as those contained in the documentation governing the Indebtedness being exchanged, extended, refinanced, renewed, replaced, substituted or refunded; and

              (D)  if the Indebtedness to be exchanged, refinanced, renewed, replaced, substituted or refunded was the obligation of the Issuer or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness shall not be incurred by any of our Restricted Subsidiaries other than a Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary that was an obligor under the Indebtedness so refinanced;

            (11) additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 4% of Consolidated Total Assets outstanding at any time; provided that, after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Consolidated Senior Indebtedness Leverage Ratio of the Issuer does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom);

            (12) the guarantee by us or any Guarantor of Indebtedness of us or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant and the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;

            (13) the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock;

            (14) the incurrence by us or our Subsidiaries of guarantees in respect of obligations of joint ventures; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (14) shall not exceed $30.0 million outstanding at any time;

            (15) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 4% of Consolidated Total Assets outstanding at any time; provided that, after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Consolidated

119



    Senior Indebtedness Leverage Ratio of the Issuer does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom);

            (16) overdrafts paid within 5 Business Days;

            (17) customary purchase price adjustments and indemnifications in connection with acquisition or disposition of stock or assets; and

            (18) guarantees to suppliers, licensors or franchisees (other than guarantees of Indebtedness) in the ordinary course of business.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (a) the outstanding principal amount of any item of Indebtedness shall be counted only once, and any obligation arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness incurred in compliance with this covenant shall be disregarded, and (b) if an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (18) above or is permitted to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant and also meets the criteria of one or more of the categories described in clauses (1) through (18) above, we shall, in our sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant and may from time to time reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner in which such item could be incurred at the time of such reclassification; provided that Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date (and any Indebtedness secured by a Lien that refinances such Indebtedness) shall be deemed to be outstanding under clause (2) above and may not be reclassified.

        Accrual of interest, the accretion of original issue discount and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant. Any increase in the amount of Indebtedness solely by reason of currency fluctuations will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant. A change in GAAP that results in an obligation existing at the time of such change, not previously classified as Indebtedness, becoming Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant.

        The amount of indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (1) the accreted value thereof, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount, (2) the principal amount thereof, in the case of any other Indebtedness, (3) in the case of the guarantee by the specified person of any Indebtedness of any other person, the maximum liability to which the specified person may be subject upon the occurrence of the contingency giving rise to the obligation and (4) in the case of Indebtedness of others guaranteed by means of a Lien on any asset of the specified person, the lesser of (A) the fair market value of such asset on the date on which Indebtedness is required to be determined pursuant to the indenture and (B) the amount of the Indebtedness so secured.

        For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that we may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a

120



different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Limitation on Asset Sales

        The indenture provides that we will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

            (1)   we or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (determined as of the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets included in such Asset Sale (such fair market value to be determined by (i) an executive officer of ours or such Subsidiary if the value is less than $10.0 million or (ii) in all other cases by a resolution of our Board of Directors (or of a committee appointed thereby for such purposes)); and

            (2)   at least 75% of the total consideration in such Asset Sale consists of cash or Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities.

        For purposes of clause (2), the following shall be deemed to be cash:

              (a)   the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of us or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which we or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness,

              (b)   the amount of any obligations or securities received from such transferee that are within 180 days converted by us or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received), and

              (c)   the fair market value of any assets (other than securities) received by us or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by us or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business.

        If we or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, we or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all or any of the Net Proceeds therefrom to:

            (1)   repay Indebtedness under any Credit Facility, and in the case of any such repayment under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility; or

            (2)   (A) invest all or any part of the Net Proceeds thereof in capital expenditures or the purchase of assets to be used by us or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business, (B) acquire Equity Interests in a person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a person engaged primarily in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the consummation of such acquisition or (C) a combination of (A) and (B).

        Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied or invested (or committed pursuant to a written agreement to be applied) as provided in the preceding paragraph within 365 days after the receipt thereof and, in the case of any amount committed to a reinvestment, which are not actually so applied within 180 days following such 365-day period shall constitute "Excess Proceeds" and shall be applied to an offer to purchase Notes and other senior Indebtedness of us if and when required under the covenant described under "—Excess Proceeds Offer." Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, we or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving indebtedness under a Credit Facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents.

121


Limitation on Liens

        The indenture provides that we shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

        The indenture provides that if:

            (a)   any of our Domestic Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor guarantees or becomes otherwise obligated under a Credit Facility or Indebtedness incurred in reliance on the first paragraph under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness," or

            (b)   we or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries transfers or causes to be transferred, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any property to any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary but not a Guarantor, or if we or any of our Subsidiaries shall organize, acquire or otherwise invest in another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and in either case, the Subsidiary organized or acquired or to which such transfer or investment was made has total assets in excess of $10.0 million,

then in each case such guarantor, obligor, transferee or acquired or other Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer's obligations under the Notes and the indenture on the terms set forth in the indenture and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of the indenture; provided, however, that to the extent that a Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor solely pursuant to clause (b) above is subject to any instrument governing Acquired Debt, as in effect at the time of acquisition thereof and not created in contemplation thereof, that prohibits such Restricted Subsidiary from issuing a Guarantee, such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be required to execute such a supplemental indenture until it is permitted to issue such Guarantee pursuant to the terms of such Acquired Debt.

Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

        The indenture provides that we shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

            (a)   pay dividends or make any other distribution to us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to us or any of our Subsidiaries;

            (b)   make loans or advances to us or any of our Subsidiaries; or

            (c)   transfer any of our properties or assets to us or any of our Subsidiaries; except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

                (i)  Existing Indebtedness and existing agreements as in effect on the Issue Date;

               (ii)  applicable law or regulation;

122


              (iii)  any instrument governing Acquired Debt as in effect at the time of acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any person, or the properties or assets of any person, other than the person, or the property or assets of the person, so acquired;

              (iv)  by reason of customary nonassignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

               (v)  Refinancing Indebtedness (as defined in the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness"); provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

              (vi)  the indenture and the Notes or by our other Indebtedness ranking pari passu with the Notes; provided that except as set forth in clause (vii) below such restrictions are no more restrictive taken as a whole than those imposed by the indenture and the Notes;

             (vii)  any Credit Facility; provided that such restriction is no more restrictive taken as a whole than that imposed by the Credit Agreement (and the collateral documents relating thereto) as in effect on the Issue Date;

            (viii)  Permitted Liens;

              (ix)  any agreement for the sale of any Subsidiary or its assets that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary (or sale of such Subsidiary's Equity Interests) pending its sale; provided that during the entire period in which such encumbrance or restriction is effective, such sale (together with any other sales pending) would be permitted under the terms of the indenture;

               (x)  secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred by the indenture that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

              (xi)  customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements which are applicable to the Equity Interests of such joint venturer;

             (xii)  Purchase Money Indebtedness that imposes restrictions of the type described in clause (c) above on the property so acquired;

            (xiii)  any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (xii) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in our good faith judgment, not materially more restrictive as a whole with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing;

            (xiv)  Indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary which imposes restrictions solely on such Foreign Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries; or

             (xv)  any restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

123


Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

        The indenture provides that we shall not consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not we are the surviving entity), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, another person unless:

            (a)   we are the surviving person or the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than us) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that if the surviving person is a limited liability company or limited partnership, such entity shall also form a co-issuer that is a corporation;

            (b)   the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than us) or the person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all our obligations pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes and the indenture;

            (c)   immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

            (d)   we or the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than us) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made: (i) will have a Consolidated Total Indebtedness Ratio immediately after the transaction (but prior to any purchase accounting adjustments or accrual of deferred tax liabilities resulting from the transaction) not more than our Consolidated Total Indebtedness Ratio immediately preceding the transaction or (ii) would, at the time of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph in the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness."

        Notwithstanding the foregoing:

            (1)   any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to us or another Restricted Subsidiary;

            (2)   we may complete the Transactions; and

            (3)   we may merge with a Restricted Subsidiary solely for the purpose of reincorporating ourselves in another State of the United States or the District of Columbia so long as the amount of Indebtedness of us and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

        The indenture provides that each Guarantor (other than any Guarantor whose Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and the indenture) will not, and we will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving entity) any person other than us or a Guarantor (in each case, other than in accordance with "—Limitation on Asset Sales") unless:

            (a)   the Guarantor is the surviving person or the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

            (b)   the person formed by or surviving any such consideration or merger (if other than the Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of the Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes and the indenture; and

            (c)   immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

124


        This section includes a phrase relating to the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of our properties or assets. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, if we dispose of less than all our properties or assets by any of the means described above, the application of the covenant described in this section may be uncertain.

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates

        The indenture provides that we shall not and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of our or their properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (including any Unrestricted Subsidiary) (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

            (a)   such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to us or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by us or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated person; provided that such transaction shall be deemed to be at least as favorable as the terms that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unrelated person if such transaction is approved by the members of (x) the Board of Directors or (y) any duly constituted committee thereof, in each case including a majority of the disinterested members thereof who meet the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ; and

            (b)   if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments in excess of the greater of (A) $10.0 million and (B) 1% of Consolidated Total Assets, such Affiliate Transaction has either (i) been approved by a resolution of the members of (x) our Board of Directors or (y) any duly constituted committee thereof, in each case including a majority of the disinterested members thereof who meet the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ or (ii) if there are no disinterested directors on our Board of Directors, we or such Restricted Subsidiary has obtained the favorable opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to us or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view;

provided, however, that the following shall, in each case, not be deemed Affiliate Transactions:

              (i)  the payment of compensation (including benefits and incentive arrangements) to directors and management of Parent, us and our Subsidiaries;

             (ii)  indemnification or similar arrangements for officers, directors, employees or agents of Parent, us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to charter, bylaw, statutory or contractual provisions;

            (iii)  transactions between or among us and our Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (iv)  Restricted Payments permitted by the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and Permitted Investments (other than transactions with a person that is an Affiliate other than as a result of such Investment);

             (v)  any transactions between us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries and any Affiliate of us the Equity Interests of which Affiliate are owned solely by us or one of our Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and by persons who are not Affiliates of us or Restricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand;

            (vi)  any agreements or arrangements in effect on the Issue Date and described in this prospectus and any modifications, extensions or renewals thereof that are no less favorable to us or

125



    the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in any material respect than such agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

           (vii)  so long as it complies with clause (a) above, customary transactions with suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services in the ordinary course of business;

          (viii)  the Transactions;

            (ix)  transactions with persons who are Affiliates of us solely as a result of our or a Restricted Subsidiary's Investment in such person; and

             (x)  Specified Affiliate Payments.

Reports

        Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the indenture provides that the we will furnish to the holders of Notes all quarterly and annual financial information, and on dates, that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if we were required to file such forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by our independent registered public accounting firm; provided, however, that (i) to the extent such reports are filed with the SEC and publicly available, no additional copies need be provided to holders of the Notes and (ii) with respect to June 30, 2008 (and periods then ended), or for any prior dates or periods, the Issuer may satisfy such obligations by furnishing carve-out financial data in form and detail corresponding to the March 31, 2008 financial data included in the Offering Memorandum so long as such information is filed or provided on or before August 31, 2008.

        In addition, we have agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when we are not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, we will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

        So long as Parent remains a Guarantor, the indenture permits us to satisfy our obligations in this covenant with respect to financial information relating to us by furnishing financial information relating to Parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to Parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to us and our Restricted Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

Excess Proceeds Offer

        When the cumulative amount of Excess Proceeds that have not been applied in accordance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Asset Sales" exceeds $25.0 million, we will be obligated to make an offer to all holders of the Notes (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of such Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the indenture. To the extent we or a Restricted Subsidiary is required under the terms of Indebtedness of us or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness), we shall also make a pro rata offer to the holders of such Indebtedness (including the Notes) with such proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of such Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. To the extent that the principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the amount of such Excess Proceeds and

126



other pari passu Indebtedness, we may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes in compliance with the provisions of the indenture. Upon completion of an Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

        We will be required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes required in the event of an Excess Proceeds Offer and will not be deemed to have violated the "Excess Proceeds Offer" provisions of the indenture as a result thereof.

Suspension of Covenants

        During any period of time after the Issue Date that (i) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a "Covenant Suspension Event"), we and our Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants in the indenture specifically listed under the following captions in this "Description of New Notes" section of this prospectus (the "Suspended Covenants"):

            (1)   "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments";

            (2)   "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness";

            (3)   "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales";

            (4)   "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries";

            (5)   clause (d) of the first paragraph under "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets";

            (6)   "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates"; and

            (7)   "—Certain Covenants—Excess Proceeds Offer."

        Additionally, at such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended (a "Suspension Period"), we will no longer be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

        In the event that we and our Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the "Reversion Date") one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below Investment Grade, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenant with respect to future events.

        On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to be Existing Indebtedness. For purposes of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of the "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant, calculations under such covenant shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time after the Issue Date (including the Suspension Period). Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period not otherwise permitted pursuant to any of clauses (2) through (8) under the second paragraph under the "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of such covenant, provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reversion Date shall not be reduced to below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments. For purposes of the "Excess Proceeds Offer" covenant, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized amount of Net Proceeds will be reset to zero. Notwithstanding the

127



foregoing, neither (a) the continued existence, after the Reversion Date, of facts and circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period nor (b) the performance of any such obligations, shall constitute a breach of any covenant set forth herein or cause a Default or Event of Default thereunder; provided that (1) we and our Restricted Subsidiaries did not incur or otherwise cause such facts and circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of a withdrawal or downgrade by the applicable Rating Agency below an Investment Grade Rating and (2) the Issuer reasonably believed that such incurrence or actions would not result in such withdrawal or downgrade.

        There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

Events of Default

        The indenture provides that each of the following constitutes an Event of Default:

            (a)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest or additional interest, if any, on the Notes;

            (b)   default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon repurchase, redemption or otherwise;

            (c)   failure to comply with the provisions described under "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" or "—Certain Covenants—Excess Proceeds Offer";

            (d)   failure to comply for 30 days after notice with any obligations under the provisions described under "—Change of Control" or "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales" (other than a failure to purchase Notes duly tendered to the Issuer for repurchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or an Excess Proceeds Offer);

            (e)   subject to the penultimate paragraph of this "Events of Default" section, default under any other provision of the indenture or the Notes, which default remains uncured for 60 days after notice from the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Notes;

            (f)    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by us and any of our Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by us and any of our Restricted Subsidiaries) which default is caused by a failure to pay the principal of such Indebtedness at the final stated maturity thereof within the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a "Payment Default"), and the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

            (g)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by us and any of our Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by us or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity not rescinded or cured within 30 days after such acceleration, and the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated and remains undischarged after such 30-day period, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

            (h)   failure by us and any of our Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments (other than any judgment as to which a reputable insurance company has accepted full liability) aggregating $25.0 million or more, which judgments are not stayed within 60 days after their entry;

128


            (i)    certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer (including the filing of a voluntary case, the consent to an order of relief in an involuntary case, the consent to the appointment of a custodian, a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or an order of a court for relief in an involuntary case, appointing a custodian or ordering liquidation, which order remains unstayed for 60 days); and

            (j)    any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary shall be held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary, or any person acting on behalf of any Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee.

        If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from the events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer described in clause (i) above, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the indenture or the Notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in such holders' interest.

        Subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Notes, by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or principal of, the Notes.

        Any failure to perform, or breach of, any covenant or agreement pursuant to "—Certain Covenants—Reports" shall not be a Default or an Event of Default until the 121st day after we have received the notice referred to in clause (e) of the first paragraph above (at which point, unless cured or waived, such failure to perform or breach shall constitute an Event of Default). Prior to such 121st day, remedies against the Issuer for any such failure or breach will be limited to additional interest at a rate per year equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of such Notes from the 60th day following such notice to and including the 121st day following such notice.

        We will be required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Owners, Employees, Incorporators and Stockholders

        No director, owner, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of us, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of us, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates under the Notes, the Guarantees or the indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The indenture provides that with respect to the Notes, we may, at our option and at any time, elect to have all obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes ("Legal Defeasance").

129



Such Legal Defeasance means that we will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness, and satisfied all obligations and covenants under the indenture, except for:

            (a)   the rights of holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, or on the redemption date, as the case may be;

            (b)   our obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

            (c)   the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and our obligations in connection therewith; and

            (d)   the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

        In addition, the indenture provides that with respect to the Notes, we may, at our option and at any time, elect to have all obligations released with respect to substantially all of the restrictive covenants that are described in the indenture, including, without limitation, under "—Change of Control" ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. If Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including nonpayment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the indenture provides that with respect to the Notes:

              (i)  we must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, noncallable U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be;

             (ii)  in the case of Legal Defeasance, we shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

              (A)  we have received from, or there has been published by, the IRS a ruling, or

              (B)  since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in each case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance, and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

            (iii)  in the case of Covenant Defeasance, we shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

            (iv)  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

130


             (v)  such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which we or any of our Subsidiaries is a party or by which we or any of our Subsidiaries is bound;

            (vi)  we shall have delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by us with the intent of preferring the holders of the Notes over any of our other creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any of its other creditors or others; and

131


        Without the consent of each holder affected, however, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Note held by a nonconsenting holder):

            (a)   reduce the aggregate principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

            (b)   reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than as provided in clause (h) below);

            (j)    make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any holder of Notes, we, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees or any amended or supplemental indenture to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes or Guarantees in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or Guarantees (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor to holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or such Guarantor's assets; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the rights under the indenture of any such holder; to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth in the indenture; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment of a successor trustee; to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes; to conform the indenture or the Notes to this "Description of New Notes"; or to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

        Our obligations in respect of Change of Control Offer can be modified with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control. The consent of the holders of the Notes is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

132


Concerning the Trustee

        The indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, if the Trustee becomes a creditor of us or our Subsidiaries, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions with the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; however, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign.

        With respect to the Notes, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Trustee will not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

              (i)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

             (ii)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph.

        Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of Notes, unless such holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

        Except as set forth below, new notes will be issued in registered, global form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. New notes will be issued at the closing of the exchange offer only against surrender of old notes.

        The new notes initially will be represented by one or more notes in registered, global form without interest coupons attached (the "Global Note"). On the date of the closing of the exchange offer, the Global Note will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

        Unless definitive new notes are issued, the Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Note may be exchanged for Notes in certificated form. See "—Exchange of Global Note for Certificated Notes."

        Ownership of interests in the Global Note ("Book-Entry Interests") will be limited to persons that have accounts with DTC, or persons that hold interests through such Participants (as defined below). Except under the limited circumstances described below, beneficial owners of Book-Entry Interests will not be entitled to physical delivery of new notes in definitive form.

        Book-Entry Interests will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained in book-entry form by DTC or DTC's nominees and Participants. In addition while the new notes are in global form, holders of Book-Entry Interests will not be considered the owners or "holders" of new notes for any purpose. So long as the new notes are held in global form, DTC or its nominees will be considered the sole holders of the Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. In addition, Participants must rely on the procedures of DTC and Indirect Participants (as defined below) must rely on the procedures of DTC and the Participants through which they own Book-Entry Interests to transfer their interests or to exercise any rights of holders under the indenture. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Note will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its Participants or Indirect Participants, which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of DTC and are subject to change. Neither we nor the trustee take any responsibility for or are liable for these operations and procedures, including the records relating to Book-Entry Interests, and we urge investors to contact DTC or its Participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised the issuer that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

148


        DTC has also advised the issuer that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

            (1)   upon deposit of the Global Note, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants pursuant to the corresponding letters of transmittal with portions of the principal amount of the Global Note; and

            (2)   ownership of these interests in the Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Note).

        All interests in a Global Note may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. The laws of some jurisdictions, including certain states of the United States, require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of themselves and Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

        Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Note will not have Notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "Holders" thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered Holder of the Global Note under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the issuer and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the Notes, including the Global Note, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the issuer or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

            (1)   any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Note; or

            (2)   any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

        DTC has advised the issuer that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the Notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the issuer. Neither the issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Notes, and the issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds.

149


        DTC has advised the issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of Notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Note and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Note for legended Notes in certificated form, and to distribute such Notes to its Participants.

        Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Note among Participants in DTC, DTC is under obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. Neither the issuer nor the Trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its Participants or Indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing DTC's operations.

Exchange of Global Note for Certificated Note

        A Global Note is exchangeable for definitive notes in registered certificated form ("Certificated Notes") if:

            (1)   DTC (a) notifies the issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in each case the issuer fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after the date of notice from DTC;

            (2)   the issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or

            (3)   there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the Trustee or holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so requests.

        In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in the Global Note will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Note

        Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The issuer will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note Holder. The issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The Notes represented by the Global Note are expected to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such Notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The issuer expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Ownership of the Notes

        The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income and, in the case of non-U.S. holders (as defined below), estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes as of the date of this prospectus.

        As used herein, a "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of the notes that is for United States federal income tax purposes any of the following:

    an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

    a trust if it (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

        The term "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of the notes (other than a partnership or any other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. holder.

        This summary deals only with notes that are held as capital assets, and does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are a person subject to special tax treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

    a dealer in securities or currencies;

    a financial institution;

    a regulated investment company;

    a real estate investment trust;

    a tax-exempt organization;

    an insurance company;

    certain employee benefit plans, individual retirement accounts and similar arrangements and entities holding related assets;

    a person holding the notes as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle;

    a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;

    a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

    a partnership or other pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes;

    a U.S. holder whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar

    a controlled foreign corporation

151


    a passive foreign investment company; or

    a United States expatriate.

        This summary is based on the Code, United States Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, so as to result in United States federal income and estate tax consequences different from those summarized below.

        If a partnership (including any entity classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner in a partnership holding notes, you should consult your own tax advisors.

        This summary does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income and estate tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. It is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder of notes. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the ownership of the notes, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

        The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences that will apply to U.S. holders of the notes.

The Distribution of the Notes to IAC and Exchange with IAC Noteholders

        On August 19, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp. issued the $300 million principal amount of old notes to IAC, its parent company prior to the spin-off, net of $23.5 million of original issue discount. The original issue discount resulted from the difference between the interest rate on the notes and the effective interest rate that would have been payable on the notes if issued in a market transaction based on market conditions existing on a pricing date of July 17, 2008, estimated to be 11%. On August 20, 2008, IAC exchanged the old notes for certain of the IAC Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, which established an exchange rate based on the amount that IAC was offering for the IAC Notes in its tender offer, as amended by the Exchange Agreement. This exchange rate resulted in the IAC Noteholders receiving a principal amount of old notes equal to the agreed upon value of the IAC Notes tendered, plus a cash payment with respect to a consent to certain matters provided by the Noteholders and any accrued an unpaid interest on the IAC Notes.

The Exchange Offer

        The exchange of old notes for new notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable event to holders for United States federal income tax purposes. Consequently, you will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note, the holding period of the new note will include the holding period of the old note exchanged therefor and the basis of the new note will be the same as the basis of the old note immediately before the exchange.

        In any event, persons considering the exchange of old notes for new notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

152


Payments of Interest

        Except as set forth below, qualified stated interest (as defined below) on a note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.

Original Issue Discount

        If the notes' "stated redemption price at maturity" (the sum of all payments to be made on the notes other than "qualified stated interest") exceeds their "issue price", you would be required to include such excess ("original issue discount" or "OID") in gross income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. However, you generally would not be required to include separately in income cash payments received on the notes, even if denominated as interest, to the extent such payments do not constitute "qualified stated interest" (as defined below).

        This summary is based upon final United States Treasury regulations addressing debt instruments issued with OID.

        The "issue price" of each note is generally the first price at which a substantial amount of that particular offering was sold (other than to an underwriter, placement agent or wholesaler). The term "qualified stated interest" means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property (other than debt instruments of the issuer), and meets all of the following conditions: it is payable at least once per year; it is payable over the entire term of the note; and it is payable at a single fixed rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices.

        The stated interest payments on the notes are qualified stated interest.

        The annual amount of OID that is included in income is the sum of the "daily portions" of OID with respect to the note for each day during the taxable year or portion of the taxable year in which you held such note ("accrued OID"). The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in any "accrual period" a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The "accrual period" for a note may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the note, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on the first day or the final day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period other than the final accrual period is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (1) the product of the note's adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period and its yield to maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period), over (2) the aggregate of all qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period.

        OID allocable to a final accrual period is the difference between the amount payable at maturity (other than a payment of qualified stated interest) and the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the final accrual period. The "adjusted issue price" of a note at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period, determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition or bond premium, as described below. Under these rules, the amounts included in income become increasingly greater in successive accrual periods. We are required to provide information returns stating the amount of OID accrued on notes held of record by persons other than corporations and other exempt holders.

        You may elect to treat all interest on a note as OID and calculate the amount includible in gross income under the constant yield method described above. The election is to be made for the taxable year in which you acquired the note, and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. You should consult with your own tax advisors about this election.

153


Market Discount

        If you purchase a note for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price, the amount of the difference will be treated as "market discount" for United States federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the note at the time of the payment or disposition.

        In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the note. You may elect, on a note-by-note basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisors before making this election.

        Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.

Acquisition Premium, Amortizable Bond Premium

        If you purchase a note for an amount that is greater than its adjusted issue price but equal to or less than the sum of all amounts payable on the note after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased that note at an "acquisition premium." Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID that you must include in gross income with respect to the note for any taxable year will be reduced by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to that year.

        If you purchase a note for an amount in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the note after the purchase date other than qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased the note at a premium and you will not be required to include any OID in income. You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the note.

Sale, Exchange, or Other Disposition

        In general, upon the sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid qualified stated interest, which will be taxable as interest income to the extent not previously included in income as discussed above) and the adjusted tax basis of the note. Your adjusted tax basis in a note will, in general, be your cost for that note increased by any OID or market discount previously included in income, and reduced by any amortized premium. Except as described above with respect to market discount, any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

154


Certain U.S. Federal Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

        The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income and estate tax consequences that will apply to non-U.S. holders of the notes.

United States Federal Withholding Tax

        The 30% United States federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment of interest (including OID) on the notes under the "portfolio interest rule," provided that:

    interest paid on the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

    you do not actually (or constructively) own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock within the meaning of the Code and applicable United States Treasury regulations;

    you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us actually or constructively through stock ownership;

    you are not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

    either (a) you provide your name and address on an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form), and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person as defined under the Code or (b) you hold your notes through certain foreign intermediaries and satisfy the certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations.

        If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest (including OID) made to you will be subject to the 30% United States federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed: IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) certifying an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty; or IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) certifying interest paid on the notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (as discussed below under "—United States Federal Income Tax").

        The 30% United States federal withholding tax generally will not apply to any payment of principal or gain that you realize on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a note.

United States Federal Income Tax

        If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest (including OID) on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), then you will be subject to United States federal income tax on that interest (including OID) on a net income basis (although you will be exempt from the 30% United States federal withholding tax, provided the certification requirements discussed above in "—United States Federal Withholding Tax" are satisfied) in generally the same manner as if you were a U.S. holder. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of such interest (including OID), subject to adjustments.

        Any gain realized on the disposition of a note generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), in which case such gain will be taxed in the same manner as effectively

155



connected interest as described above; or you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met.

United States Federal Estate Tax

        Your estate will not be subject to United States federal estate tax on notes beneficially owned by you at the time of your death, provided that any payment to you on the notes would be eligible for exemption from the 30% United States federal withholding tax under the "portfolio interest rule" described above in "—United States Federal Withholding Tax" without regard to the statement requirement described in the fifth bullet point of that section.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Holders

        In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal and interest (including OID) paid on the notes and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition (including retirement or a redemption) of a note paid to you (unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation). Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or a certification that you are not subject to backup withholding.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

        In general, we must report to the IRS and to you the amount of interest (including OID) paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

        In general, you will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest (including OID) on the notes that we make to you provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code, and we have received from you the required certification that you are a non-U.S. holder described above in "—Certain Federal Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—United States Federal Withholding Tax."

        Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition (including retirement or a redemption) of notes within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless you certify to the payor under penalties of perjury that you are a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code), or you otherwise establish an exemption.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

156



PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING RESTRICTIONS

        The exchange offer is not being made to, nor will we accept surrenders of old notes for exchange from, holders of old notes in any jurisdiction in which the exchange offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction.

        The distribution of this prospectus and the offer and sale of the new notes may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons who come into possession of this prospectus or any of the new notes must inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which you purchase, offer or sell the new notes or possess or distribute this prospectus and, in connection with any purchase, offer or sale by you of the new notes, must obtain any consent, approval or permission required under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in which you make such purchase, offer or sale.

        In reliance on interpretations of the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in similar transactions, we believe that the new notes issued in the exchange offer in exchange for the old notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and the holders are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution" (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of new notes. This position does not apply to any holder that is

    an "affiliate" of the issuer (as defined under the Securities Act); or

    a broker-dealer.

        Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

        The issuer and the guarantors will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit of any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        The issuer and the guarantors have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of old notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

157

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule on page F-28. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Spin-Off

        On November 5, 2007, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies, identifying Interval Leisure Group, Inc. ("ILG") as one of those five companies. In these consolidated financial statements, we refer to the separation transaction herein as the "spin-off." In connection with the spin-off, ILG was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in May 2008. Prior to August 20, 2008, ILG did not have any material assets or liabilities, nor did it engage in any business or other activities and, other than in connection with the spin-off, it will not acquire or incur any material assets or liabilities, nor will it engage in any business or other activities. Upon completion of the spin-off, ILG will consist of Interval and ResortQuest Hawaii and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, collectively referred to herein as "RQH," which was acquired on May 31, 2007, the businesses that formerly comprised IAC's Interval segment. The businesses to be operated by ILG following the spin-off are referred to herein as the "ILG Businesses."

Basis of Presentation

        The historical consolidated financial statements of ILG and its subsidiaries reflect the contribution or other transfer to ILG of all of the subsidiaries and assets and the assumption by ILG of all of the liabilities relating to the ILG Businesses in connection with the spin-off and the allocation to ILG of certain IAC corporate expenses relating to the ILG Businesses. Accordingly, the historical consolidated financial statements of ILG reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the ILG Businesses since their respective dates of acquisition by IAC, based on the historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records of IAC and using the historical results of operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of the ILG Businesses with the exception of accounting for income taxes. For purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed for ILG on an as if stand-alone, separate tax return basis. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

        In the opinion of ILG's management, the assumptions underlying the historical consolidated financial statements of ILG are reasonable. However, this financial information does not necessarily reflect what the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ILG would have been had ILG been a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

Company Overview

        ILG is a leading provider of membership services, primarily to the vacation ownership industry, through Interval. With the acquisition of RQH in May 2007, ILG also entered the vacation rental and property management services industry.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

        Revenue, net of sales incentives, from Interval membership fees is deferred and recognized over the terms of the applicable memberships ranging from one to five years, on a straight-line basis. Generally, memberships are cancelable and refundable on a pro-rata basis. Direct costs of acquiring members and direct costs of sales related to deferred membership revenue are also deferred and

F-7


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the applicable memberships. Revenue from vacation transactions is recognized when Interval provides confirmation of the vacation, at which time the fee is nonrefundable.

        RQH revenue primarily consists of property management fees and service fees. Property management fees, which are generally a percentage (ranging from 1% to 25%) of the rental price of the vacation property, are generated when the property is rented. The management fee rate is based upon the type of services provided to the property owner and the type of rental unit managed. RQH's proportionate share of the rental price of the property is recognized over the rental period. RQH also provides, or arranges through third parties, certain services for property owners or guests including reservations, housekeeping, long-distance telephone, beach equipment rental and pool cleaning. Service fee revenue is recognized when the service is provided by RQH. Services provided by third parties are generally billed directly to property owners or guests and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market instruments and time deposits with maturities of less than 91 days.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash primarily includes amounts held in trust and lock box accounts in connection with certain transactions with RQH's managed properties.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, principally resort developers and members, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. ILG determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, ILG's previous loss history, the specific customer's current ability to pay its obligation to ILG and the condition of the general economy. ILG writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance and any gains or losses on dispositions are included in operations.

        Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," Interval capitalizes certain qualified costs incurred in connection with the development of internal use software. Capitalization of internal use software costs begins when the preliminary project stage is completed, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalized internal software costs, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $12.9 million and $11.0 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are included in "Property and equipment, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. ILG tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives

        In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount is deemed to not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Amortization of definite lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.

Advertising

        Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred and principally represent printing and postage costs of directories and magazines, promotions, trade shows and agency fees. Advertising expense was $18.6 million, $19.1 million and $18.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Income Taxes

        ILG accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on

F-9


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. ILG records interest on potential tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense and records interest net of any applicable related income tax benefit.

        Effective January 1, 2007, ILG adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, ILG recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by the interpretation. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses

        The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders' equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income is solely related to foreign currency translation and is recorded net of tax. Transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

        Foreign currency transaction net losses for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are included in "Other expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

        Effective January 1, 2006, ILG adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. See Note 4 for a further description of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107").

Minority Interest

        Minority interest in 2007 represents minority ownership in RQH. In connection with the acquisition of RQH, a member of senior management of this business purchased an ownership interest at the same per share price as ILG. ILG is party to a fair value put and call arrangement with respect to this interest. This put and call arrangement allows this member of management to require ILG to purchase their interest or allows ILG to acquire such interest at fair value, respectively. This put and call arrangement becomes exercisable by ILG and the counter-party, respectively, at a date no earlier than 2013. Upon such exercise, the consideration payable can be denominated in either shares of IAC or cash at IAC's option. This put and call arrangement will be modified prior to the spin-off so that the consideration payable in IAC shares will be replaced with ILG shares. This put arrangement is

F-10


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of ILG and is accounted for in accordance with EITF D-98 "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities." Accordingly, to the extent that the fair value of this interest exceeds the value determined by normal minority interest accounting, the value of such interest is adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to invested capital. At and for the year ended December 31, 2007, ILG did not record an adjustment as this interest is recorded at fair value.

Accounting Estimates

        ILG's management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the recovery of goodwill and intangible assets; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the determination of deferred revenue; and assumptions related to the determination of stock-based compensation.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

        ILG's business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and credit card fraud. A substantial percentage of the vacation ownership resorts in the Interval network are located in Florida, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Mexico and Southern California and all of the vacation properties for which RQH provides vacation rental and property management services are located in Hawaii. ILG also depends on relationships with developers and vacation property owners, as well as third party service providers for processing certain fulfillment services.

        Financial instruments, which potentially subject ILG to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with quality financial institutions of high credit.

        ILG conducts business in one foreign country where a currency restriction exists. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, ILG had $5.1 million and $4.0 million of cash which can only be repatriated upon the approval of that country's government. ILG has requested approval for a portion of the cash to be repatriated. This request is currently pending.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also

F-11


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively, except as it relates to disclosures, for which the effects will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. ILG is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. ILG is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

        On May 31, 2007, ILG completed the acquisition of RQH, a vacation rental and property management services company, for approximately $110 million in cash. The acquisition was funded by IAC, and such funding has been recorded as a transfer from IAC within the statement of shareholders' equity. ILG performed valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired. These valuations identified $56.2 million of intangible assets other than goodwill. The goodwill recognized amounted to $40.4 million. Intangible assets with definite lives included property management contracts ($45.7 million), wholesaler agreements ($5.9 million), trade names and trademarks ($4.3 million) and other agreements ($0.3 million) and are being amortized over a weighted-average period of 12.7 years. IAC also allocated $9.0 million of the purchase price to increase the recorded value of two vacation property front desk units to fair value. The entire amount allocated to goodwill is tax deductible. ILG viewed RQH's revenue, operating income, Operating Income Before Amortization, net income and cash flow as its most important valuation metrics. ILG agreed to consideration that resulted in recognition of a significant amount of goodwill because RQH's business model complements the business model of ILG and because of RQH's market position, brand and growth opportunities in its market. As a result, a significant portion of the consideration was based on the expected financial performance of RQH, and not the asset value on the books of RQH at the time of acquisition.

NOTE 4—SFAS 123R AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        The equity awards described below principally relate to awards to ILG employees that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans.

        Effective January 1, 2006, ILG adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method and has applied the classification provisions of SAB 107 regarding the SEC's interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies in its adoption of SFAS 123R.

F-12


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 4—SFAS 123R AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

        The adoption of SFAS 123R did not impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as ILG had previously adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123").

        Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the entire tax benefit from stock-based compensation was reported as a component of operating cash flows. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations are reported as a component of financing cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, are included as a component of financing cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2005, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of less than $0.1 million is included as a component of operating cash flows.

        Non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards is included in the following line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

  $ 2,229   $ 2,018   $ 773  
               

        The form of awards granted to ILG employees are principally restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). RSUs and PSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units, denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of IAC common stock and with the value of each award equal to the fair value of IAC common stock at the date of grant. All outstanding award agreements provide for settlement, upon vesting, in stock for U.S. employees and in cash for non-U.S. employees. Each RSU, PSU and restricted stock grant is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests, and certain grants also include performance-based vesting, where certain performance targets set at the time of grant must be achieved before an award vests. ILG recognizes expense for all RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock, for which vesting is considered probable. For RSU and restricted stock grants to U.S. employees, the accounting charge is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed ratably as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. For PSU grants to U.S. employees, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation when the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved. The expense associated with RSU and PSU awards to non-U.S. employees is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed ratably over the vesting term, subject to mark-to-market adjustments for

changes in the price of IAC common stock, as compensation expense within general and administrative expense. The expense related to awards to international employees totaled $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is reduced by estimated forfeitures, as the amount recorded is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs from the estimated rate.

        As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $14.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.0 years. At December 31, 2007, there were less than 0.1 million awards outstanding to non-U.S. employees.

        In connection with the acquisition of RQH by ILG in 2007 a member of RQH's management was granted restricted common equity in RQH. This award was granted on May 31, 2007 and was initially measured at fair value, which is being amortized to expense over the vesting period. This award vests ratably over four and a half years, or earlier based upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The award vests in non-voting restricted common shares of RQH.

        These shares are subject to a put right by the holder and a call right by ILG, which are not exercisable until the first quarter of 2013 and annually thereafter. The value of these shares upon exercise of the put or call is equal to their fair market value, determined by negotiation or arbitration, reduced by the accreted value of the preferred interest that was taken by IAC upon the purchase of RQH. The initial value of the preferred interest was equal to the acquisition price of RQH. The preferred interest accretes value at a 10% annual rate. Upon exercise of the put or call the consideration is payable in IAC shares or cash or a combination thereof at ILG's option. Prior to the separation, this put and call arrangement will be modified so that the consideration payable in IAC's shares will be replaced with ILG shares.

        The unrecognized compensation cost related to this equity award is $0.4 million at December 31, 2007.

        At December 31, 2007, ILG had foreign net operating losses ("NOLs") of approximately $2.6 million available to offset future income. Of these foreign losses, approximately $2.0 million can be carried forward indefinitely, and approximately $0.6 million will expire within ten years. During 2007, ILG did not recognize any significant tax benefits related to NOLs.

        During 2007, ILG's valuation allowance did not significantly change. At December 31, 2007, ILG had a valuation allowance of approximately $0.7 million related to the portion of tax operating loss carryforwards for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.

        In accordance with APB No. 23, no federal and state income taxes have been provided on permanently reinvested earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries aggregating approximately $12.8 million at December 31, 2007. If, in the future, these earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if ILG determines such earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions would be required. Due to complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income taxes that would have to be provided.

        ILG adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The cumulative effect of the adoption resulted in an increase of $0.2 million to retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, is as follows (in thousands):

Included in unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007 is approximately $4.9 million for tax positions included in IAC's consolidated tax return filings.

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES (Continued)


Included within "Receivables from IAC and subsidiaries" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 is approximately $6.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits and related interest that will remain a liability of IAC after the spin-off. Also included in unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007 is approximately $2.0 million for tax positions which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

        ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $0.4 million, net of related deferred taxes of $0.2 million, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, ILG has accrued $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the payment of interest. There are no material accruals for penalties.

        By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known.

        The IRS is currently examining the IAC consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003, which includes the operations of Interval from September 24, 2002, its date of acquisition by IAC. The statute of limitations for these years has been extended to December 31, 2008. Various IAC consolidated tax returns filed with state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are Florida, New York state and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001. These examinations are expected to be completed by late 2008.

        ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $2.9 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but are not expected to be significant.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT INFORMATION

        The overall concept that ILG employs in determining its operating segments and related financial information is to present them in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker and executive management view the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered or the target market. ILG has two operating segments, Interval, its vacation ownership membership services business, and RQH, its vacation rental and property management business.

        ILG's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions and (4) one-time items. ILG believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from ILG's segments, taking into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business,

        The total commercial commitments above primarily consist of guarantees, which support ILG's business in the United Kingdom. The purchase obligations primarily relate to future space purchases.

NOTE 10—CONTINGENCIES

        In the ordinary course of business, ILG is a party to various lawsuits. ILG establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that an unfavorable resolution of claims against ILG, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of ILG, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. ILG also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 7 for discussion related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 11—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The additional disclosure below of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by ILG using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies when available.

NOTE 13—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        ILG has an agreement with Arise Virtual Solutions relating to outsourced call center services provided by ILG to its members. During 2007 and 2006, total payments of approximately $3.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were made to Arise. Amounts payable related to these services were $0.1 million at both December 31, 2007 and 2006 and are included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Arise is considered a related party because one of IAC's board members is a partner of Accretive LLC, which owns Arise Virtual Solutions.

        ILG's expenses include allocations from IAC of costs associated with IAC's accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support, human resources and internal audit functions. These allocations were based on the ratio of ILG's revenue as a percentage of IAC's total revenue. Allocated costs were $1.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are included in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. It is not practicable to determine the actual expenses that would have been incurred for these services had ILG operated as a stand-alone entity. In the opinion of management, the allocation method is reasonable.

        The portion of interest income reflected in the consolidated statements of operations that is intercompany in nature, was $7.7 million, $7.0 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This intercompany interest relates to the receivables from IAC.

Relationship Between IAC and ILG after the Spin-Off

        For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between ILG and IAC at and after the spin-off, and to provide for an orderly transition, ILG and IAC are expected to enter into a separation agreement, a tax sharing agreement, an employee matters agreement and a transition services agreement (the "Spin-Off Agreements"), among other agreements.

Separation Agreement

        The separation agreement is expected to provide generally that (i) immediately prior to the spin-off, IAC will contribute or otherwise transfer to ILG all of the subsidiaries and assets comprising the ILG Businesses, (ii) ILG will assume all of the liabilities related to the ILG Businesses, (iii) each party will indemnify the other and its respective affiliates, current and former directors, officers and employees for any losses arising out of any breach of any of the Spin-Off Agreements and (iv) ILG will indemnify IAC for its failure to assume and perform any assumed liabilities and any liabilities relating to ILG financial and business information included in the SEC documentation filed with respect to the spin-off as well as such other terms as to which IAC and ILG mutually agree.

Tax Sharing Agreement

        The tax sharing agreement will govern the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of IAC and ILG after the spin-off with respect to taxes for the periods ending on or before the spin-off. Generally, IAC will pay taxes with respect to ILG income included on its consolidated, unitary or combined federal or state tax returns including audit adjustments with respect thereto. Other pre-distribution taxes that are attributable to the ILG Businesses, including taxes reported on separately filed and all foreign returns and audit adjustments with respect thereto, will be borne solely by ILG.

        The tax sharing agreement is expected to contain certain customary restrictive covenants that generally prohibit ILG (absent a supplemental IRS ruling or an unqualified opinion of counsel to the contrary, in each case, in a form and substance satisfactory acceptable to IAC in its sole discretion) from taking actions that could jeopardize the tax free nature of the spin-off. ILG is expected to agree to indemnify IAC for any taxes and related losses resulting from its non-compliance with these

F-25


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 13—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)


restrictive covenants, as well as for the breach of certain representations in the Spin-Off Agreements and other documentation relating to the tax-free nature of the spin-off.

Employee Matters Agreement

        The employee matters agreement will generally provide that ILG will be responsible for, among other obligations, all employment and benefit-related obligations and liabilities related to those persons employed by the ILG Businesses immediately prior to the spin-off (and their dependents and beneficiaries) and former employees who most recently worked for the ILG Businesses. This agreement is also expected to provide that assets and liabilities from the IAC Retirement Savings Plan of ILG employees will be transferred to a newly established ILG Retirement Savings Plan as soon as practicable following the spin-off.

Transition Services Agreement

        Under the transition services agreement, beginning on the date of the completion of the spin-off, IAC will provide to ILG on an interim, transitional basis, various services, which are expected to relate primarily to public company and operational matters, and such other services as to which IAC and ILG mutually agree. The agreed upon charges for these services will generally allow IAC to recover fully the allocated costs of providing the services, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses. ILG may terminate the agreement with respect to one or more particular services upon prior written notice.

Commercial Agreements

        IAC and ILG currently, and for the foreseeable future expect to provide certain services to each other pursuant to certain commercial relationships. In connection with the spin-off, IAC and ILG will enter into a number of commercial agreements between subsidiaries of IAC, on the one hand, and subsidiaries of ILG, on the other hand, many of which will memorialize (in most material respects) pre-existing arrangements in effect prior to the spin-off and all of which are intended to reflect arm's length terms. In addition, IAC and ILG believe that such agreements, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, do not constitute a material contract to either IAC or ILG.

        Aggregate revenue earned with respect to these commercial agreements, with IAC subsidiaries, by the ILG Businesses was not material in 2007, 2006 and 2005. The ILG Businesses incurred approximately $2.1 million, $1.7 million and $1.5 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, in expenses related to these commercial agreements with IAC subsidiaries.

NOTE 14—BENEFIT PLANS

        During the three years ended December 31, 2007, ILG participated in a retirement savings plan sponsored by IAC that qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code. Subsequent to the spin-off, the net assets available for benefits of the employees of ILG are expected to be transferred from the IAC plan to a newly created ILG plan. Under the IAC plan, participating employees may contribute up to 16% of their pretax earnings, but not more than statutory limits. ILG's match under the IAC plan is fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributes in this plan, with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant's eligible earnings. Matching contributions for the plan were approximately $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided

F-26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 14—BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)


under the plan. Investment options in the plan include IAC common stock, but neither participant nor matching contributions are required to be invested in IAC common stock.

        During the three years ended December 31, 2007, ILG also had or participated in various benefit plans, principally defined contribution plans, for its non-U.S. employees. ILG's contributions for these plans were approximately $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Spin-Off

        On November 5, 2007, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies, identifying Interval Leisure Group, Inc. ("ILG") as one of those five companies. In these consolidated financial statements, we refer to the separation transaction as the "spin-off." In connection with the spin-off, ILG was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in May 2008. Prior to August 20, 2008, ILG did not have any material assets or liabilities, nor did it engage in any business or other activities and, other than in connection with the spin-off, it will not acquire or incur any material assets or liabilities, nor will it engage in any business or other activities. Upon completion of the spin-off, ILG will consist of Interval and ResortQuest Hawaii and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, collectively referred to herein as "RQH," which was acquired on May 31, 2007, the businesses that formerly comprised IAC's Interval segment. The businesses to be operated by ILG following the spin-off are referred to herein as the "ILG Businesses."

Basis of Presentation

        The historical consolidated financial statements of ILG and its subsidiaries reflect the contribution or other transfer to ILG of all of the subsidiaries and assets and the assumption by ILG of all of the liabilities relating to the ILG Businesses in connection with the spin-off and the allocation to ILG of certain IAC corporate expenses relating to the ILG Businesses. Accordingly, the historical consolidated financial statements of ILG reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the ILG Businesses since their respective dates of acquisition by IAC, based on the historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records of IAC and using the historical results of operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of the ILG Businesses with the exception of accounting for income taxes. For purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed for ILG on an as if stand-alone, separate tax return basis. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

        In the opinion of ILG's management, the assumptions underlying the historical consolidated financial statements of ILG are reasonable. However, this financial information does not necessarily reflect what the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ILG would have been had ILG been a stand- alone company during the periods presented.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ILG's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with ILG's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

Company Overview

        ILG is a leading provider of membership services, primarily to the vacation ownership industry, through Interval. With the acquisition of RQH in May 2007, ILG also entered the vacation rental and property management services industry.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Estimates

        ILG's management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the recovery of goodwill and intangible assets; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the determination of deferred revenue; and assumptions related to the determination of stock-based compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively, except as it relates to disclosures, for which the effects will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. ILG is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. ILG is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered or the target market. ILG has two operating segments, Interval, its vacation ownership membership services business, and RQH, its vacation rental and property management business.

        ILG's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (5) one-time items. ILG believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from ILG's segments, taking into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to ILG's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation, and acquisition related accounting.

        The following tables reconcile Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income for ILG's operating segments and to net income in total (in thousands):

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

        ILG calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and FASB Interpretation No. 18. At the end of each interim period, ILG makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The tax or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

        The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year,

F-40


INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES (Continued)


projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or ILG's tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, ILG recorded tax provisions of $11.9 million and $27.5 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 38%. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, ILG recorded tax provisions of $10.8 million and $24.0 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 38%. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

        As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $5.7 million. Included in unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2008 is approximately $4.9 million for tax positions included in IAC's consolidated tax return filings that will remain a liability of IAC after the spin-off. ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is $0.1 million, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At June 30, 2008, ILG has accrued $1.8 million for the payment of interest. There are no material accruals for penalties.

        By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known.

        The IRS is currently examining the IAC consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003, which includes the operations of ILG from September 24, 2002, its date of acquisition by IAC. The statute of limitations for these years has been extended to December 31, 2009. Various IAC consolidated tax returns filed with state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, Florida, New York state and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001. These examinations are expected to be completed by late 2008.

        ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $2.9 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but are not expected to be significant.

NOTE 8—CONTINGENCIES

        In the ordinary course of business, ILG is a party to various lawsuits. ILG establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that an unfavorable resolution of claims against ILG, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of ILG, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. ILG also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 7 for discussion related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 9—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        ILG's expenses include allocations from IAC of costs associated with IAC's accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support, human resources and internal audit functions. These allocations were based on the ratio of ILG's revenue as a percentage of IAC's total revenue. Allocated costs were $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and are included in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. It is not practicable to determine the actual expenses that would have been incurred for these services had ILG operated as a stand-alone entity. In the opinion of management, the allocation method is reasonable.

        The portion of interest income reflected in the consolidated statements of operations that is intercompany in nature, was $4.2 million, $5.5 million, $2.3 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This intercompany interest relates to the receivables from IAC.

Relationship Between IAC and ILG after the Spin-Off

        For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between ILG and IAC at and after the spin-off, and to provide for an orderly transition, ILG and IAC are expected to enter into a separation agreement, a tax sharing agreement, an employee matters agreement and a transition services agreement (the "Spin-Off Agreements"), among other agreements. See Note 10.

NOTE 10—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ILG Senior Secured Credit Facility

        In connection with the spin-off of ILG, on July 25, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of ILG, entered into a senior secured credit facility with a maturity of five years, which consists of a $150.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the "RCF").

        The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the senior secured credit facility are, at Interval Acquisition Corp.'s option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, which will vary with the total leverage ratio of Interval Acquisition Corp. but initially will be fixed at 2.75% per annum for LIBOR term loans, 2.25% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans, 1.75% per annum for base rate term loans and 1.25% per annum for base rate revolving loans.

        All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by ILG and each of Interval Acquisition Corp.'s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Interval Acquisition Corp. 9.5% Senior Notes

        In connection with the spin-off of ILG, on July 28, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp. (the "Issuer") agreed to issue $300.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 ("Interval Senior Notes"), reduced by the original issue discount of $23.5 million, to IAC, and IAC has agreed to exchange such Interval Senior Notes for certain of IAC's 7% Senior Notes due 2013 pursuant to a notes exchange and consent agreement. The issuance and exchange occurred on August 19 and 20, 2008, respectivelyInterest on the Interval Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on September 1 and March 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2009. The Interval Senior Notes are guaranteed by all entities that are domestic subsidiaries of the Issuer and by ILG.

        The Interval Senior Notes are redeemable by the Issuer in whole or in part, on or after September 1, 2012 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        The final total costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Interval Senior Notes and borrowings under the Term Loan and establishing the RCF are estimated to be $13.5 million. The initial net cash proceeds to ILG were approximately $139.4 million, which was net of $10.6 million of billed expenses. In connection with the spin-off, ILG retained $50.0 million and distributed the remainder of the net proceeds, $89.4 million, to IAC. The additional costs, estimated at $2.9 million, in connection with the issuance, will be paid by IAC and settled as part of the finalized intercompany receivable balance with IAC, with no cash outlay by ILG.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Delaware Entities

        The following registrants are corporations incorporated in the state of Delaware: Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Interval Acquisition Corp., IIC Holdings, Incorporated, Interval European Holdings Limited (also incorporated in England and Wales), Interval Holdings, Inc., Interval Vacation Exchange, Inc. and Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation—a "derivative action"), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

        The certificates of incorporation of IIC Holdings, Incorporated, Interval Acquisition Corp., Interval European Holdings Limited, Interval Holdings, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Interval Vacation Exchange, Inc. and Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc. each provide that no director shall be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation on liability is not permitted under the DGCL, as now in effect or as amended. Currently, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL requires that liability be imposed for the following:

    any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

    any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

    unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; and

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        The certificates of incorporation of IIC Holdings, Incorporated, Interval Acquisition Corp., Interval European Holdings Limited, Interval Holdings, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc. also specifically provide that any repeal or amendment of such indemnification provisions shall not adversely affect the right or protection of a director existing prior to the time of such repeal or amendment.

        Interval Acquisition Corp.'s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Interval European Holdings Limited's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, further provide that the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or testifies in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,

II-1



administrative or investigative in nature, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by law. Interval Holdings, Inc.'s Certificate of Incorporation provides that the corporation shall have the power to provide the foregoing indemnification. Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc.'s Certificate of Incorporation provides that the corporation shall provide indemnification similar to the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Interval Acquisition Corp.'s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc.'s Certificate of Incorporation further provide that those corporations shall only indemnify persons seeking indemnification as provided in this paragraph in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the respective corporation.

        Interval Leisure Group, Inc.'s Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as now in effect or as amended, it will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or by reason of the fact such person, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was serving, at the corporation's request, as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the corporation. To the extent authorized by the DGCL, Interval Leisure Group, Inc. will indemnify such persons against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such persons in connection with such service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Interval Leisure Group, Inc. shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by its Board of Directors. IIC Holdings, Incorporated's By-Laws provide the same indemnification rights as described in the proceeding sentences with respect to Interval Leisure Group, Inc.'s By-laws. Interval Vacation Exchange, Inc.'s By-Laws provide similar indemnification, although they do not specify that persons seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person must have authorization by the corporation's Board of Directors to have indemnification rights.

        The bylaws of Interval Acquisition Corp., Interval European Holdings Limited, Interval Holdings, Inc. and Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc. contain no provisions related to indemnification and, accordingly, the indemnification rights of its directors and officers are determined by the provisions described above.

Florida Entities

        The following registrants are business entities formed under Florida law: Interval International, Inc., Interval International Holdings, Inc., Interval International Overseas Holdings, Inc., Interval Resort & Financial Services, Inc., Interval Software Services, LLC, Worldex Corporation, and Worldwide Vacation & Travel Inc.

        Under Section 607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA"), a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy unless:

    the director breached or failed to perform his duties as a director; and

II-2


    the director's breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes:
    a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;

    a transaction from which the director derived a direct or indirect improper personal benefit;

    a circumstance under which the liability provisions of §607.0834 relating to unlawful distributions are applicable;

    in a derivative action, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation or willful misconduct; or

    in a proceeding other than a derivative action or by a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.

        Under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than a derivative action), due to serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

        In addition, under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, a corporation may indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any derivative action due to serving as director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding. Such indemnification is authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation; however, no indemnification can be made in respect of any matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, has determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

        The FBCA provides that its indemnification and advancement provisions are not exclusive of any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses arrangements under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. However, no indemnification or advancement will be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent if a final adjudication establishes that his actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834 regarding unlawful distributions are applicable; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a derivative action or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

        Under section 608.4229 of the Florida Limited Liability Company Act (FLLCA), a limited liability company may indemnify any member, manager or other person from and against any and all claims

II-3



and demands unless a final adjudication establishes that the actions, or omissions to act, of such person were material to the cause of action adjudicated and constitute any of the following:

    a violation of criminal law, unless such person had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful;

    a transaction from which such person derived an improper personal benefit;

    a circumstance under which the liability provisions of section 608.426 of the FLLCA regarding improper distributions of property and the impairment of capital are applicable; or

    willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the company in a derivative action or in a proceeding by or in the right of a member.

        The By-laws, as amended, of Interval International, Inc. ("Interval International) require that it indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether or not a derivative action, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee retained to provide legal counsel to Interval International or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer or legal counsel of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Such person shall be indemnified against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnified person as a result of such proceeding, if such person acted in good faith in a manner the person reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority and in the best interest of the corporation and, in any criminal action or proceeding, without reasonable grounds for belief that such action was unlawful. These indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which such person may otherwise be entitled.

        The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of Interval International Holdings, Inc., Interval International Overseas Holdings, Inc., and Interval Resort & Financial Services, Inc. provide that, to the extent permitted by law, the corporation will indemnify any person, or his heirs, or his personal representative who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The corporation must reimburse a director, officer, employee, or agent for all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such liability in the manner provided for by law or in accordance with its By-laws. These indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which such person may otherwise be entitled.

        The Amended and Restated Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement of Interval Software Services, LLC ("Interval Software Services") provide that it will indemnify any person who was or is a party defendant or is threatened to be made a party defendant to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a derivative action) by reason of the fact that he is or was a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of Interval Software Services or is or was serving at its request against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.

II-4


        Interval Software Services will not indemnify or pay the expenses of any person if a judgment establishes that the actions, or omissions to act, of such person were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute any of the following:

    a violation of criminal law, unless the person had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful;

    a transaction from which such person derived an improper personal benefit;

    in the case of a member, a circumstance under which the liability provisions for improper distribution of property of the company or impairment of the capital of the company are applicable under Section 608.426 of the Florida Limited Liability Company Act; or

    willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the company in a derivative action or in a proceeding by or in the right of a member.

        These indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the company's Operating Agreement or otherwise.

        The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of Worldex Corporation ("Worldex") provide that it will indemnify any current or former officer, director or legal counsel in any proceeding brought against him by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee retained to provide legal counsel to Worldex, or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer or legal counsel of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a result of such proceeding if such director, officer or legal counsel acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority and in the best interest of Worldex and, in any criminal action or proceeding, without reasonable grounds for belief that such action was unlawful. These indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which any such person may otherwise be entitled.

        The By-laws, as amended, of Worldwide Vacation & Travel, Inc. ("Worldwide Vacation & Travel") provide that it will indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether or not a derivative action, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee retained to provide legal counsel to Worldwide Vacation & Travel, or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer or legal counsel of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a result of such proceeding if such person acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority and in the best interest of the corporation and, in any criminal proceeding, without reasonable grounds for belief that such action was unlawful. These indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

Hawaii Entities

        The following registrants are business entities organized under Hawaii law: REP Holdings, Ltd., RQI Holdings, LLC, ResortQuest Hawaii, LLC, and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, LLC.

II-5


        Sections 414-242 through 414-248 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act (the "HBCA") provide that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because the individual is a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

    the individual conducted himself in good faith, and the individual reasonably believed:
    in the case of conduct of official capacity, that the individual's conduct was in the best interests of the corporation; and

    in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and

    in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful; or

    the individual engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation.

A corporation will indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director or officer was a party because he was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

        Under the HBCA, a corporation may not indemnify a director (i) in connection with a derivative action, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct described above, or (ii) in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that the director received a financial benefit to which the director was not entitled, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity.

        Hawaii's statutory provisions regarding limited liability companies provide that a member or manager of the company will not be personally liable for any debt, obligation, or liability of the company solely by reason of being or acting as a member or a manager. A member of a limited liability company will be liable in his capacity as a member for all specified debts, obligations, or liabilities of the company; however, if (i) a provision to that effect is contained in the articles of organization, and (ii) a member so liable has consented in writing to the adoption of the provision or to be bound by the provision. A limited liability company will indemnify a member or manager for liabilities incurred by the member or manager in the ordinary course of the business of the company or for the preservation of its business or property.

        The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of REP Holdings, Ltd. ("REP Holdings") provide that it will indemnify each person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a derivative action) if the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of REP Holdings or of any division of the corporation, or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Such person will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.

        In addition, REP Holdings will indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed derivative action because that person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or

II-6



other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. No indemnification will be made, however, in respect of any matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to the corporation unless it is determined by court in which the action or suit was brought that, despite the adjudication of liability, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses which the court shall deem proper. These indemnification rights are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights to which such person may otherwise be entitled.

        The Amended and Restated Operating Agreements of RQI Holdings, LLC, ResortQuest Hawaii, LLC, and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, LLC each provide that neither any manager nor any member shall be personally liable for any debt, obligation, or liability of the company solely by reason of being or acting as a manager or member. The company will indemnify each manager, member, officer, director, stockholder, partner, employee, representative, or agent (individually, a "Covered Person" and, collectively, the "Covered Persons") from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, by reason of its management of the affairs of the company or which relates to or arises out of the company or its property, business, or affairs. A Covered Person will not be entitled to indemnification under this provision with respect to any claim in which such Covered Person is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or breach of a fiduciary duty to the company or any member. No Covered Person is liable to the company or any other person for any act or omission relating to the company and the conduct of its business taken or omitted in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is not contrary to the best interests of the company, provided that such act or omission is not found by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or breach of fiduciary duty to the company or its member(s).

North Carolina Entities

        The following registrants are corporations incorporated in the state of North Carolina: Meragon Financial Services, Inc. and Meridian Financial Services, Inc.

        Sections 55-8-50 through 55-8-58 of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (the "NCBCA") permit a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action if such director, officer, agent or employee:

    conducted himself in good faith;

    reasonably believed that his conduct in his official capacity with the corporation was in the best interests of the corporation or, in all other cases, his conduct at least was not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and

    in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

        A corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, agent or employee under the statutory scheme in connection with a derivative action in which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with a proceeding in which a director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis of having received an improper personal benefit. Unless limited by the corporation's articles of incorporation, the NCBCA requires a corporation to indemnify

II-7



a director or executive officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such person was a party because he is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

        In addition, Section 55-8-57 of the NCBCA permits a corporation to indemnify or agree to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liability and expenses (including counsel fees) in any proceeding (including derivative actions) arising out of their status as such or their activities in any of such capacities provided, however, that a corporation may not indemnify or agree to indemnify a person against liability or expenses such person may incur on account of activities that were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation.

        Meragon Financial Services, Inc.'s ("Meragon") By-laws provide that any person who at any time serves or has served as a director, officer, employee, or agent of Meragon has the right to be indemnified by Meragon to the fullest extent permitted by law against: (i) reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with any threatened, pending completed action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether or not a derivative action, brought by reason of the fact that the person is or was acting as a director, officer, employee, or agent of Meragon, and (ii) reasonable payments made by the person in satisfaction of any judgment, money, decree, fine, penalty or settlement for which the person may have become liable in any such action.

        Meridian Financial Services, Inc.'s Articles of Incorporation contain no provisions regarding indemnification and, accordingly, the provisions of the NCBCA summarized above determine the indemnification rights of its directors and officers.

Washington Entity

        The registrant XYZII, Inc. is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Washington.

        Section 23B.08.510 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "WBCA") provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) the individual acted in good faith and (ii) if the individual reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation, that the individual's conduct was in its best interests and (b) in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests. In the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual must have had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director under this section in connection with a derivative action in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the director. Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with a derivative action is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

        Section 23B.08.520 of the WBCA provides that unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. Section 23B.08.570 of the WBCA provides that unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, an officer of the corporation who is not a director will be entitled to mandatory indemnification to the same extent as directors, and that a corporation may provide for indemnification of officers to the same extent as directors. A corporation may also indemnify an officer who is not a

II-8



director to the extent, consistent with the law, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.

        XYZII, Inc.'s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that the corporation shall indemnify every director and officer against all liabilities, civil and criminal, incurred in relation to his duties, including all reasonable costs of defense, except to the extent that he shall have been finally adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the matter out of which the liability arises.

        The By-laws of XYZII, Inc. provide that the corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by the WBCA any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (whether a derivative action or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director of officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and liabilities, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation. The By-laws further provide that the Board of Directors of XYZII, Inc. may, at any time, approve indemnification under the WBCA of any other person which the corporation has the power to indemnify.

England and Wales Entity

        The registrant Interval European Holdings Limited is a corporation incorporated in England and Wales (as well as in Delaware, as summarized above).

        Interval European Holdings Limited is subject to the Companies Act 2006. Section 232 of the Companies Act 2006 applies to any provision, whether contained in a company's articles or in any contract with the company or otherwise. Section 232 of the Companies Act 2006 provides that any provision that purports to exempt a director of a company (to any extent) from any liability that would otherwise attach to him in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company is void. Section 232 of the Companies Act 2006 does not prevent a company from (i) purchasing and maintaining for a director of the company, or of an associated company, insurance against any such liability, (ii) providing for a qualifying third party indemnity provision, or (iii) providing for a qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision. Qualifying third party indemnity provisions and qualifying pension scheme indemnity provisions must be disclosed in directors' reports and must be available for inspection for at least one year from the date of termination or expiration of the provision.

        Under Section 234 of the Companies Act 2006, a qualifying third party indemnity provision gives the company a means for providing indemnity against liability incurred by the director to a person other than the company or an associated company if certain requirements are met. The provision must not provide any indemnity against (i) any liability of the director to pay (a) a fine imposed in criminal proceedings, or (b) a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (however arising), or (ii) any liability incurred by the director (a) in defending criminal proceedings in which he is convicted, (b) in defending civil proceedings brought by the company, or an associated company, in which judgment is given against him, or (c) in connection with an application for relief in which the court refuses to grant him relief.

        Under Section 235 of the Companies Act 2006, a qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision gives the company a means for indemnifying a director of a company that is a trustee of an occupational pension scheme against liability incurred in connection with the company's activities as a trustee of the scheme if certain requirements (similar to those described above for qualifying third party indemnity provisions) are met.

II-9


        The Articles of Association of Interval European Holdings Limited provide that subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 1985, but without prejudice to any indemnity to which a director may be otherwise entitled, every director, auditor, secretary or other officer of the company shall be entitled to be indemnified by the company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and/or discharge of his duties and/or the exercise of his powers including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of the company and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.

        The Memorandum of Association of Interval European Holdings Limited does not contain any provisions related to indemnification.

General

        The Company has obtained policies that insure its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under these policies, the insurer, on behalf of the Company, may also pay amounts for which the Company has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

Item 21.    Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules

        See index to exhibits following the signature page hereto.

Item 22.    Undertakings

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

              (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

II-10


            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and

            (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

                (i)  any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

               (ii)  any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

              (iii)  the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

              (iv)  any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

II-11

ARTICLE III

 

CORPORATE PURPOSE

 

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (“DGCL”).

 

ARTICLE IV

 

CAPITAL STOCK

 

The Corporation is authorized to issue three classes of stock to be designated “Class A Common Stock,” “Class B Common Stock” (the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are sometimes referred to collectively hereinafter as the “Common Stock”), and “Preferred Stock,” all of which shall have a par value of $0.01 per share.  The total number of shares that the Corporation is authorized to issue is:  2,100 shares, of which 1,000 shall be shares of Class A Common Stock, 100 shall be shares of Class B Common Stock, and 1,000 shall be shares of Preferred Stock.

 

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

 



 

A.            COMMON STOCK.

 

1.             General.  The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.  Except as otherwise provided in Section A of this Article IV and as otherwise required by applicable law, all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be identical in all respect and shall entitle the holders thereof to the same rights, preferences and privileges, subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as set forth herein.

 

2.             Voting.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law, (i) each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held as of the applicable record data on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the stockholders of the Corporation, and (ii) each holder of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the stockholders of the Corporation.  Holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes for the election of directors or any other matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

 

(b)           The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the umber of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

 

3.             Dividends.  Subject to the provisions of the Preferred Stock, as and when dividends are declared or paid with respect to shares of Common Stock, whether in cash, property or securities of the Corporation, the holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends pro rata among all holders of Common Stock at the same rate per share of each class of Common Stock; provided, that (a) if dividends are declared or paid in shares of Common Stock, the dividends payable to holders of Class A Common Stock shall be payable in shares of Class A Common Stock and the dividends payable to holders of Class B Common Stock shall be payable in shares of Class B Common Stock and (b) if the dividends consist of other voting securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall make available to each holder of Class B Common Stock dividends consisting of non-voting securities (except as otherwise required by law) of the Corporation which are otherwise identical to the voting securities and which are convertible into such voting securities on the same terms as the Class B Common Stock is convertible into the Class A Common Stock.

 

4.             Liquidation.  Subject to the provisions of the Preferred Stock, the holder of Class A Common Stock and the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to participate pro rata at the same rate per share of each class of Common Stock in all distributions to the holders of Common Stock in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

 

2



 

5.             Conversion.

 

(a)           In connection with the occurrence of a Conversion Event, each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall be converted into a share of Class A Common Stock.  For the purposes of Section A.5 of this Article IV, (i) “Conversion Event” shall mean (y) the occurrence of an initial Public Offering, or (z) the vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock to convert all of the shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) “Public Offering” shall mean the sale of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in an underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (other than a public offering relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation).

 

(b)           The conversion of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date of the Conversion Event and at such time the rights of the holder of the converted Class B Common Stock shall cease and each holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented thereby.

 

(c)           Promptly after the surrender of certificates and the receipt of written notice, the Corporation shall issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder’s instructions the certificate or certificates for the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversions.

 

(d)           The issuance of certificates for Class B Common Stock upon conversion of Class A Common Stock shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Class A Common Stock.

 

(e)           The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Class B Common Stock.

 

(f)            The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of shares of Common Stock in any manner which would interfere with the timely conversion of any shares of Class B Common Stock.  The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder of Class B Common Stock required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Class B Common Stock hereunder (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Corporation).

 

6.             Stock Splits.  If the Corporation in any manner subdivides or combines or takes any similar action with respect to the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock, the

 

3



 

outstanding shares of the other classes of Common Stock shall be proportionately subdivided or combined in a similar manner or a similar action will be taken with respect to such other classes.

 

B.            PREFERRED STOCK.

 

1.             Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided.  Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law.  Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided.

 

2.             Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of the shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law.  Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

A.            INDEMNIFICATION.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as director, officer, employee or agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, that, except as provided in Section B of this Article IX, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.  The right to indemnification conferred in this Article IX shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or

 

7



 

officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under Section A of this Article IX or otherwise.  The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

B.            RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT.  If a claim under Section A of this Article IX is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

C.            NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

D.            INSURANCE.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

ARTICLE V

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

 

Section 1. Nature of Indemnity. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof; the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

7



 

Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent. If a determination (as defined in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) by the corporation that the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 3. Article Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Section 4. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V.

 

Section 5. Expenses. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to

be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

 

Section 6. Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors.

 

Section 7. Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing.

 

Section 8. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article V, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

 

Section 1. Form. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president, or a vice-president and the secretary or any assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of the president, any vice-president, secretary, or any assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall

 

9



 

only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation.

 

Section 2. Lost Certificates. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

 

Section 3. Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

Section 4. Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery

 

10



 

made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

 

Section 5. Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

Section 6. Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner.

 

Section 7. Subscriptions for Stock. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

SECTION 5.           Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of stockholders shall consist of the holders of record of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy. At all meetings of the stockholders at which a quorum is present, all matters, except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat present in person or by proxy. If there be no such quorum, the holders of a majority of such shares so present or represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without further notice, until a quorum shall have been obtained.

5.             A.            The directors shall have unconditional authority to allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of any relevant securities (within the meaning of Section 80(2) of the Act) to such persons at such times and on such conditions as they think proper. The authority hereby conferred shall, subject to Section 80(7) of the Act, be for a period of five years [after the date of adoption of these Articles] [after the date of the incorporation of the Company] unless renewed varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting and the maximum amount of relevant securities which may be allotted pursuant to such authority shall be the authorized but as yet unissued share capital of the Company at the date of adoption of these Articles, or where the authority is renewed, at the date of the renewal.

 

B.            The directors shall be entitled under the authority contained in sub-paragraph A or any renewal thereof to make at any time prior to the expiry of such authority any offer or agreement which would or might require relevant securities of the Company to be allotted after the expiry of such authority.

7.             Subject to the provisions of the Act and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing shares, any share may be issued with such rights or restrictions as the Company may by ordinary resolution determine.

 

8.             Subject to the provisions of the Act, shares may be issued which are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Holder on such terms and in such manner as may be provided by these Articles.

 

9


 

9.                                       The Company may exercise the powers of paying commissions conferred by the Act. Subject to the provisions of the Act, any such commission may be satisfied by the payment of cash or by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other.

 

10.                                 Except as required by law, no person shall be recognized by the Company as holding any share upon any trust and (except as otherwise provided by law or these Articles) the Company shall not be bound by or recognize any interest in any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the Holder.

 

SHARE CERTIFICATES

 

11.                                 Every member, upon becoming the Holder of any shares, shall be entitled to receive within two months of allotment or lodgment of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide) without payment one certificate for all the shares of each class held by him (and, upon transferring a part of his holding of shares of any class, to a certificate for the balance of such holding) or several certificates each for one or more of his shares upon payment for every certificate after the first of such reasonable sum as the directors may determine. Every certificate shall be under Seal and shall specify the number, class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the shares to which it relates and the amount or respective amounts paid up thereon. The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for shares held jointly by several persons and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

 

12.                                 If a share certificate is defaced, worn-out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and payment of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence as the directors may determine but otherwise free of charge, and (in the case of defacement or wearing-out) on delivery up of the old certificate.

 

LIEN

 

13.                                 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all monies (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that share. The directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to any amount payable in respect of it.

 

14.                                 The Company may, in such manner as the directors think fit, sell any shares on which the Company has a lien if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within fourteen Clear Days after notice has been given to the Holder of the share or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder. The notice must demand payment and state that if the notice is not complied with the shares may be sold.

 

10



 

15.                                 To give effect to such a sale the directors may authorize some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

16.                                 The proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable; and any residue shall (upon surrender to the Company for cancellation of the certificate for the shares sold and subject to a like lien for any monies not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

 

CALLS ON SHARES AND FORFEITURE

 

17.                                 Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls upon the members in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium) and each member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen Clear Days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be required to be paid by installments. A call may, before receipt by the Company of any sum due thereunder, be revoked in whole or part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or part. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect whereof the call was made.

 

18.                                 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the directors authorizing the call was passed.

 

19.                                 The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

20.                                 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the date it became due until the day it is paid and shall also pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company as determined by the directors in order to procure payment of the sums due or in consequence of the non-payment of such sums. The rate of interest shall be that fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at the appropriate rate (as defined by Section 107 of the Act) subject to the right of the directors to waive payment of the interest costs and expenses wholly or in part.

 

21.                                 An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or premium or as an installment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid the relevant provisions of the Articles shall apply as if the amount had become due by virtue of a call.

 

11



 

22.                                 Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between the Holders in the amount and times of payment of calls on their shares.

 

23.                                 The directors may, if they think fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the directors and the member paying such sum in advance.

 

24.                                 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due, the directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen Clear Days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued plus expenses or costs determined in accordance with article 20. The notice shall name the place where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

25.                                 If the notice is not complied with any share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the directors and the forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

26.                                 No member shall be entitled to receive any dividend or (save as proxy for another member) be present or vote at any general meeting, either personally or by proxy, or exercise any privilege as a member, or be reckoned in a quorum in respect of any share held by him (whether alone or jointly with any other person) if and for so long as he shall have defaulted in payment of any call or other sum for the time being due on such share or any interest or expenses payable in connection therewith.

 

27.                                 Subject to the provisions of the Act, a forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors think fit either to the person who was before the forfeiture the Holder or to any other person. At any time before sale, re-allotment or other disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited share is to be transferred to any person the directors may authorize some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share to that person.

 

28.                                 A person any of whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the shares forfeited but shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those shares with interest at the rate at which interest was payable on those monies before the forfeiture or, if no interest was so payable, at the

 

12



 

appropriate rate (as defined in Section 107 of the Act) plus costs and expenses from the date of forfeiture until payment. The directors may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration received on their disposal.

 

29.                                 A statutory declaration by a director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated therein as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share and the declaration shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer if necessary) constitute a good title to the share and the person to whom the share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture or disposal of the share.

 

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

30.                                 The instrument of transfer of a share may be in any usual form or in any other form which the directors may approve and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and, unless the share is fully paid, by or on behalf of the transferee.

 

31.                                 The transferor shall be deemed to remain the Holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members in respect thereof.

 

32.                                 The directors may refuse to register the transfer of a share which is not fully paid or on which the Company has a lien. They may also refuse to register a transfer unless:

 

(i)                                     the instrument of transfer is accompanied by the certificate of the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

 

(ii)                                  the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share; and

 

(iii)                               the instrument of transfer is in favor of not more than four transferees.

 

33.                                 If the directors refuse to register a transfer they shall within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company send to the transferee notice of the refusal.

 

34.                                 The registration of transfers of shares or any class of shares may be suspended at such times and for such periods (not exceeding thirty days in any year) as the directors may determine.

 

35.                                 No fee shall be charged for the registration of any instrument of transfer or other document relating to or affecting the title to any share.

 

13



 

36.                                 The Company shall be entitled to retain any instrument of transfer which is registered, but any instrument of transfer which the directors refuse to register shall be returned to the person lodging it when notice of the refusal is given.

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

37.                                 If a member dies the survivor or survivors where he was a joint holder, and his personal representatives where he was a sole holder or the only survivor of joint holders, shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased member from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him.

 

38.                                 A person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member may, upon such evidence being produced as the directors may properly require, elect either to become the Holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee. If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to become registered as the Holder he shall give notice to the Company to that effect. If he elects to have another person registered he shall execute an instrument of transfer of the share to that person. All the Articles relating to the transfer of shares shall apply to the notice or instrument of transfer as if it were an instrument of transfer executed by the member and the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred. The provisions of this Article shall apply to any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the merger or consolidation of any member being a corporation as they apply to any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member.

 

39.                                 A person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member shall have the rights to which he would be entitled if he were the Holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as the Holder of the share, be entitled in respect of it to attend or vote at any meeting of the Company or at any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company. The directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days the directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

 

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

40.                                 The Company may by ordinary resolution:

 

(i)                                     increase its share capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such amount as the resolution prescribes;

 

(ii)                                  consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

 

14



 

(iii)                               subject to the provisions of the Act, sub-divide its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount and the resolution may determine that, as between the shares resulting from the sub-division, any of them may have any preference or advantage as compared with the others; and

 

(iv)                              cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

 

41.                                 Whenever as a result of a consolidation of shares any members would become entitled to fractions of a share, the directors may, on behalf of those members, sell the shares representing the fractions for the best price reasonably obtainable to any person (including, subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company) and distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among those members, and the directors may authorize some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

42.                                 Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company may be special resolution reduce its share capital, any capital redemption reserve and any share premium account in any way.

 

PURCHASE OF OWN SHARES

 

43.                                 Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company may purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares) and make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares otherwise than out of distributable profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

 

GENERAL MEETINGS

 

44.                                 The Company shall in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in addition to any other meetings in that year, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notice calling it. Not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting of the Company and that of the next, provided that so long as the Company holds its first annual general meeting within eighteen months of its incorporation it need not hold it in the year of its incorporation or in the following year.

 

45.                                 All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

46.                                 The directors may call general meetings and, on the requisition of members pursuant to the Act shall forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting for a date not later than eight weeks after the requisition. If there are not within the United Kingdom sufficient directors capable of acting to form a

 

15



 

quorum, any director or any member of the Company may call an extraordinary general meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which meetings may be convened by the directors.

 

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

 

47.                                 An annual general meeting and an extraordinary general meeting called for the passing of a special or elective resolution or a resolution appointing a person as a director shall be called by at least twenty-one Clear Days’ notice. All other extraordinary general meetings shall be called by at least fourteen Clear Days’ notice but a general meeting may be called by shorter notice if it is so agreed:

 

(i)                                     in the case of an annual general meeting or a meeting called for the passing of an elective resolution, by all the members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

 

(ii)                                  in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the members having a right to attend and vote being a majority together holding not less than ninety-five per cent in nominal value of the shares giving that right.

 

The notice shall specify the time and place of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted.

 

Subject to the provisions of these Articles and to any restrictions imposed on any shares, the notice shall be given to all members, to all persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member and to the directors and auditors.

 

48.                                 The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.

 

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

 

49.                                 No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless a quorum is present. Two persons entitled to vote upon the business to be transacted each being a member or a proxy for a member or a duly authorized representative of a corporation shall be a quorum.

 

50.                                 If such a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, or if during a meeting such a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such time and place as the directors may determine. If at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within fifteen minutes from the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved.

 

51.                                 The chairman, if any, of the board of directors or in his absence some other director nominated by the directors shall preside as chairman of the meeting, but

 

16



 

if neither the chairman nor such other director (if any) be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting and willing to act, the directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman and, if there is only one director present and willing to act, he shall be chairman.

 

52.                                 If no director is willing to act as chairman, or if no director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the members present and entitled to vote shall choose one of their numbers to be chairman.

 

53.                                 A director shall, notwithstanding that he is not a member, be entitled to attend and speak at any general meeting and at any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company.

 

54.                                 The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at an adjourned meeting other than business which might properly have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment not taken place. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of any adjourned meeting.

 

55.                                 At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before or immediately following the declaration of the result of the show of hands a poll is demanded by the chairman or any member present in person or by proxy or duly authorized representative and entitled to vote.

 

56.                                 Unless a poll is duly demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried (whether unanimously or by a particular majority) or lost and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of or against the resolution.

 

57.                                 The demand for a poll may, before the poll is taken, be withdrawn but only with the consent of the chairman and a demand so withdrawn shall not be taken to have invalidated the result of a show of hands declared before the demand was made.

 

58.                                 A poll shall be taken as the chairman directs and he may appoint scrutinizers (who need not be members) and fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

59.                                 In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman shall not be entitled to a casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have.

 

60.                                 A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken either forthwith or at such time and place as the chairman directs not being more

 

17



 

than thirty days after the poll is demanded. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll was demanded. If a poll is demanded before the declaration of the result of a show of hands and the demand is duly withdrawn, the meeting shall continue as if the demand had not been made.

 

61.                                 No notice need be given of a poll not taken forthwith if the time and place at which it is to be taken are announced at the meeting at which it is demanded. In any other case at least seven Clear Days’ notice shall be given specifying the time and place at which the poll is to be taken.

 

62.                                 A resolution in writing executed by or on behalf of each member who would have been entitled to vote upon it had it been proposed at a general meeting at which he was present shall be as effectual as if the same had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in like form each executed by or on behalf of one or more members. If such resolution is described as a Special Resolution, an Extraordinary Resolution or an elective resolution, it shall have effect accordingly.

 

CORPORATIONS ACTING BY REPRESENTATIVES AT MEETINGS

 

63.                                 Any corporation which is a member of the Company may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company and the person so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company.

 

VOTES OF MEMBERS

 

64.                                 Subject to any right or restriction attached to any shares, on a show of hands every member who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) is present by proxy or by a duly authorized representative, not being himself a member entitled to vote, shall have one vote and on a poll every member shall have one vote for every share of which he is the Holder.

 

65.                                 In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. Seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register of members.

 

66.                                 A member in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction (whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his receiver, curator bonus or other person authorized in that behalf appointed by that court, and any such receiver, curator bonus or other person may, on a poll, vote by proxy. Evidence to the satisfaction of the directors of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote shall be deposited at the Office not less than

 

18



 

48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the right to vote is to be exercised and in default the right to vote shall not be exercisable.

 

67.                                 No member shall vote at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of share in the Company, either in person or by proxy, in respect of any share held by him unless all monies presently payable by him in respect of that share have been paid.

 

68.                                 No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to be tendered, and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

 

69.                                 On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy, and a member entitled to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses the same way. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing in any usual form or in any other form which the directors may approve and shall be executed by the appointer or by his agent authorized in writing, or, if the appointer is a corporation, shall be either under its seal, or executed by an officer or agent so authorized. A member may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion. Deposit of an instrument of proxy shall not preclude a member from attending and voting at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof.

 

70.                                 The instrument appointing a proxy and any authority under which it is executed or a copy of such authority certified notarially or in some other way approved by the directors may:

 

(a)                                  be deposited at the Office or at such other place within the United Kingdom as is specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote; or

 

(b)                                 in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded, be deposited as aforesaid after the poll has been demanded and not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll; or

 

(c)                                  where the poll is not taken forthwith but is taken not more than 48 hours after it was demanded, be delivered at the meeting at which the poll was demanded to the Chairman or to the Secretary or to any director;

 

and an instrument of proxy which is not deposited or delivered in a manner so permitted shall be invalid.

 

71.                                 A vote given or poll demanded by proxy or by the duly authorized representative of a corporation shall be valid notwithstanding the previous determination of the

 

19



 

authority of the person voting or demanding a poll unless notice of the determination was received by the Company at the Office or at such other place at which the instrument of proxy was duly deposited before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote is given or the poll demanded or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than on the same day as the meeting or adjourned meeting) the time appointed for taking the poll.

 

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

 

72.                                 Unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution, the number of directors (other than alternate directors) shall not be subject to any maximum but shall not be less than two.

 

ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

 

73.                                 Any director (other than an alternate director) may appoint any other director, or any other person approved by resolution of the directors and willing to act, to be an alternate director and may remove from office an alternate director so appointed by him. Any appointment or removal of an alternate director shall be by notice to the Company signed by the director making or revoking the appointment or in any other manner approved by the directors.

 

74.                                 An alternate director shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of directors and of all meetings of committees of directors of which his appointor is a member, to attend and vote at any such meeting at which the director appointing him is not personally present, and generally to perform all the functions of his appointor as a director in his absence but shall not be entitled to receive any remuneration from the Company for his services as an alternate director.

 

75.                                 An alternate director shall cease to be an alternate director if his appointor ceases to be a director.

 

76.                                 Save as otherwise provided in these Articles, an alternate director shall be deemed for all purposes to be a director and shall alone be responsible for his own acts and defaults and he shall not be deemed to be the agent of the director appointing him.

 

QUALIFICATION SHARES

 

77.                                 A director shall not be required to hold any qualification shares in the Company.

 

BORROWING POWERS

 

78.                                 The directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow or raise money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital and subject to Section 80 of the Act to issue debentures, debenture stock and other

 

20



 

securities as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

 

POWERS OF DIRECTORS

95.                                 All acts done by a meeting of directors, or of a committee of directors, or by a person acting as a director shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was a defect in the appointment of any director or that any of them were disqualified from holding office, or had vacated office, or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified and had continued to be a director and had been entitled to vote.

96.                                 A resolution in writing signed (in person or by facsimile) or approved (by telex or facsimile) by all the directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of directors or of a committee of directors shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of directors or (as the case may be) a committee of directors duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in the like form each signed by one or more directors. A resolution signed or approved by an alternate director need not also be signed or approved by his appointor and, if it is signed or approved by a director who has appointed an alternate director, it need not be signed or approved by the alternate director in that capacity.

 

97.                                 The contemporaneous linking together by telephone of a number of the directors not less than the quorum, wherever in the world they are, shall be deemed to constitute a meeting of the directors so long as the following conditions are met:

(iv)                              unless he has previously obtained the consent of the chairman of the meeting, a director may not leave the meeting by disconnecting his telephone and shall be conclusively presumed to have been present and to have formed part of the quorum throughout the meeting. The meeting shall be deemed to have been validly conducted notwithstanding that a director’s telephone is accidentally disconnected during the meeting, and the proceedings thereof shall be deemed to be as valid as if the telephone had not been disconnected;

 

(v)                                 a minute of the proceedings shall be sufficient evidence thereof and of the observance of all necessary formalities if certified by a director who was party to the proceedings.

 

98.                                 Subject to such disclosure as is required by Section 317 of the Act a director shall be entitled to vote at a meeting of directors or of a Committee of directors on any resolution concerning a matter in which he has, directly or indirectly, an interest or duty which is material and which conflicts or may conflict with the interests of the Company.

 

99.                                 A director shall not be counted in the quorum present at a meeting in relation to a resolution on which he is not entitled to vote.

 

25

101.                           Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment of two or more directors to offices or employments with the Company or any body corporate in which the Company is interested the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each director separately and (provided he is not for another reason precluded from voting) each of the directors concerned shall be entitled to vote and be counted in the quorum in respect of each resolution.

 

102.                           If a question arises at a meeting of directors or of a committee of directors as to the right of a director to vote, the question may, before the conclusion of the meeting, be referred to the chairman of the meeting and his ruling in relation to any director other than himself shall be final and conclusive.

 

SECRETARY

 

103.                           Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Secretary shall be appointed by the directors for such term, at such remuneration and upon such conditions as they may think fit. Any Secretary so appointed may be removed by them. The directors may also appoint two or more joint Secretaries each of whom shall have full authority to act alone.

 

104.                           A provision of the Act or these Articles requiring or authorizing a thing to be done by or to a director and the Secretary shall not be satisfied by this being done by or to the same person acting both as director and as, or in place of, the Secretary.

DIVIDENDS

 

107.                           Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the members, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors.

 

108.                           Subject to the provisions of the Act, the directors may pay interim dividends if it appears to them that they are justified by the profits of the Company available for distribution. If the share capital is divided into different classes, the directors may pay interim dividends on shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividend as well as on shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividend, but no interim dividend shall be paid on shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrear. The directors may also pay at intervals settled by them any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that the profits available for distribution justify the payment. Provided the directors act in good faith they shall not incur any liability to the Holders of shares conferring preferred rights for any loss they may suffer by the lawful payment of an interim dividend on any shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

 

109.                           Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but, if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

 

110.                           A general meeting declaring a dividend may, upon the recommendation of the directors, direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets and, where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution, the directors may settle the same and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of any assets and may determine that cash shall be paid to any member upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of members and may vest any assets in trustees.

 

111.                           Any dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share may be paid by check sent by post to the registered address of the person entitled or, if two or more persons are the Holders of the share or are jointly entitled to it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder, to the registered address of that one of those persons who is first named in the register of members or to such person and to such address as the person or persons entitled may in writing direct. Every check shall be made payable to the order of the person or persons entitled or to such other person as the person or persons entitled may in writing direct and payment of the check shall be a good discharge to the Company. Any joint holder or other person jointly entitled to a share as aforesaid may give receipts for any dividend or other monies payable in respect of the share.

 

27



 

112.                           No dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share shall bear interest against the Company unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to the share.

 

113.                           Any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if the directors so resolve, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company.

 

ACCOUNTS

 

114.                           The accounting records of the Company shall be open to the inspection of any officer of the Company. No member shall (as such) have any right of inspecting any accounting records or other book or document of the Company except as conferred by statute or authorized by the directors or by ordinary resolution of the Company.

 

CAPITALIZATION OF PROFITS

 

115.                           The directors may with the authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company:

 

(i)                                     subject as hereinafter provided, resolve to capitalize any undivided profits of the Company not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not they are available for distribution) or any sum standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or capital redemption reserve;

 

(ii)                                  appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalized to the members who would have been entitled to it if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions and apply such sum on their behalf either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the shares or debentures credited as fully paid to those members, or as they may direct, in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other; but the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve, and any profits which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued shares to be allotted to members credited as fully paid;

 

(iii)                               make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates or by payment in cash or otherwise as they determine in the case of shares or debentures becoming distributable under this Article in fractions; and

 

(iv)                              authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the members concerned into an agreement with the Company providing for the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid, of any shares or debentures to which they are entitled upon such capitalization, any agreement made under such authority being binding on all such members.

 

28



 

NOTICES

 

116.                           Any notice to be given to or by any person pursuant to these Articles shall be in writing except that a notice calling a meeting of directors need not be in writing.

 

117.                           The Company may give any notice to a member either personally or by sending it by post in a prepaid envelope addressed to the member at his registered address or by leaving it at that address. In the case of joint holders of a share, all notices shall be given to the joint holder whose name stands first in the register of members in respect of the joint holding and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders. A member whose registered address is not within the United Kingdom and who gives to the Company an address within the United Kingdom at which notices may be given to him shall be entitled to have notices given to him at that address, but otherwise no such member shall be entitled to receive any notice from the Company.

 

118.                           A member present, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company or of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company shall be deemed to have received notice of the meeting and, where necessary, of the purposes for which it was called.

 

119.                           Every person who becomes entitled to a share shall be bound by any notice in respect of that share which, before his name is entered in the register of members, has been duly given to a person from whom he derives his title.

 

120.                           Proof that an envelope containing a notice was properly addressed, prepaid and posted shall be conclusive evidence that the notice was given. A notice shall be deemed to be given at the expiration of 48 hours after the envelope containing it was posted.

 

121.                           Any notice delivered or sent by post to the registered address of any member in pursuance of these Articles shall, notwithstanding that such member be then dead, bankrupt, mentally disordered or (being a corporation) in liquidation, and whether or not the Company has notice of the death, bankruptcy, mental disorder or liquidation, be deemed to have been given in respect of any share registered in the name of the member as sole or joint Holder and such notice shall be deemed a sufficient notice to all persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the share.

 

WINDING UP

 

122.                           If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Act, divide among the members in specie the whole or any part of the assets.

 

29



 

INDEMNITY

 

123.                           Subject to the provisions of the Act but without prejudice to any indemnity to which a director may be otherwise entitled every director, auditor, secretary or other officer of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company against all costs charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and/or discharge of his duties and/or the exercise of his powers including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of the Company and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the Court.

 

OVERRIDING PROVISIONS

 

124.                           Whenever all of the issued ordinary shares of the Company are held by or on behalf of one member (the “parent company”) any or all powers of the directors shall be restricted in such respects and to such extent as the parent company may by notice to the Company from time to time prescribe. Any such notice shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the parent company and shall take effect upon lodgment at the Office. No person dealing with the Company shall be concerned to see or enquire as to whether the powers of the directors have been in any way restricted hereunder or as to whether any requisite consent of the parent company has been obtained and no obligation incurred or security given or transaction effected by the Company to or with any third party shall be invalid or ineffectual unless the third party had at the time express notice that the incurring of such obligation or the giving of such security or the effecting of such transaction was in excess of the powers of the directors.

Section 5.              Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder of the corporation under these bylaws, the articles of incorporation, or the Florida General Corporation Act, a written waiver of notice signed at any time by the person entitled to

 



 

that notice shall be equivalent to giving the notice. Attendance by a shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting, in person or by proxy, constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the shareholder attends a meeting for the purpose, expressed at the beginning of the meeting, of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 6.              Closing of Transfer Rooks or Fixing of Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to payment of any dividend or to receive notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment of any meeting or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the board of directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a period not to exceed sixty days. If the stock transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, they shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding that meeting. Instead of closing the stock transfer books, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders, but that date shall never be more than sixty days nor, in case of a meeting of shareholders, less than ten days prior to the date on which the action requiring the determination of shareholders, the date on which either notice of the meeting is mailed or the resolution of the board of directors declaring a dividend or authorizing the action that requires a determination of shareholders is adopted shall be the record date for the determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, the determination shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, unless the board of directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

Section 7.              Voting Record.  At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting, stating each shareholder’s address and the number, class, and series of shares that he holds. This list shall be kept on file for ten days before the meeting at the corporation’s registered office or principal place of business or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, and any shareholder may inspect the list anytime during usual business hours. The list also shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting, and any shareholder may inspect it anytime during the meeting.

 

If the requirements of this section have not been substantially complied with, the meeting shall be adjourned upon the demand of any shareholder, in person or by proxy, until the requirements are complied with. If no demand is made, failure to comply with the requirements of this section does not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting.

 

Section 8.              Shareholder Quorum and Voting.  A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. When an item of business must be voted on by a class or series of stock, a majority of the shares of that class or series constitutes a quorum for the transaction of that business by that class or series.

 

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is the act of the shareholders unless otherwise provided by law.

 

2



 

After a quorum has been established at a shareholders’ meeting, a withdrawal of shareholders that reduces the number of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum does not affect the validity of any action taken at or adjournment of the meeting.

 

Section 9.              Voting of Shares.  Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders is entitled, upon each proposal presented to the meeting, to one vote for each share of voting stock recorded in his name on the books of the corporation on the record date fixed as provided in Article I, Section 6 of these bylaws. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Treasury shares, shares of stock of this corporation owned by another corporation the majority of the voting stock of which is owned or controlled by this corporation, and shares of this corporation that it holds in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

 

The chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporate shareholder, in that order, are presumed to possess authority to vote shares standing in the name of the corporate shareholder in the absence of a bylaw or other instrument of the corporate shareholder designating some other officer, agent, or proxy to vote the shares. Proof of that designation shall be made by presentation of a certified copy of the bylaws or other instrument of the corporate shareholder.

 

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of those shares into his name. A trustee may vote, either in person or by proxy, shares standing in his name, but no trustee may vote any shares that are not transferred into his name. If he is authorized to do so by an appropriate order of the court by which he was appointed, a receiver may vote shares standing in his name or held by or under his control without a transfer of those shares into his name. A shareholder whose shares are pledged may vote those shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee or his nominee shall be entitled to vote the shares transferred, unless the instrument creating the pledge provides otherwise.

 

Section 10.            Proxies. A shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting or a shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact may authorize one or more persons to act for him by proxy. To be effective, a proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact. A proxy granting authority to vote shares that are registered in the names of multiple owners is effective only if each record owner signs it. A proxy is not valid after eleven months from its date unless it provides otherwise. A proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law. A proxy holder’s authority to act is not revoked by the incompetence or death of the shareholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, the corporate officer responsible for maintaining the list of shareholders receives written notice of an adjudication of incompetence or death.

 

If a proxy for the same shares confers authority on two or more persons and does not otherwise indicate how the shares should be voted, a majority of those proxies who are present at the meeting (or a single proxy holder if only one is present) may exercise all the powers

 

3



 

conferred by the proxy, but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the manner of voting in any case, the voting of the shares subject to the proxy shall be prorated. If a proxy expressly provides, the proxy holder may appoint in writing a substitute to act in his place.

 

Section 11.            Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting.  Any action required by law, these bylaws, or the articles of incorporation of this corporation to be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a written consent, setting forth the action taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the matter were present and voted. All shareholders need not sign the same document. If any class of shares is entitled to vote as a class, written consent required is of both (a) the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote as a class, and (b) the total shares entitled to vote on the matter.

 

Within ten days after the shareholders authorize an action by written consent, written notice shall be given to the shareholders who did not consent. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action is a merger, consolidation, or sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters’ rights are provided under the Florida General Corporation Act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of the dissenting shareholders to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with the other provisions of the Act concerning the rights of dissenting shareholders.

 

Section 12.            Voting Trusts.  Any number of shareholders of this corporation may create a voting trust in the manner provided by law for the purpose of conferring upon the trustee or trustees the right to vote or otherwise represent their shares. When the counterpart of a voting trust agreement and a copy of the record of the holders of voting trust certificates are deposited with the corporation as provided by law, those documents shall be subject to the same right of examination by a shareholder of the corporation, in person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of the corporation, and the counterpart and the copy of the record shall be subject to examination by any holder of record of voting trust certificates, either in person or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time for any proper purpose.

 

Section 13.            Shareholders Agreements.  Two or more shareholders of this corporation may enter into an agreement providing for the exercise of voting rights in the manner provided in the agreement or relating to any phase of the affairs of the corporation, in the manner and to the extent provided by law. The agreement shall not impair the right of this corporation to treat a shareholder of record as entitled to vote the shares as standing in his name.

 

ARTICLE II.  DIRECTORS

 

Section 1.              Function.  The business of this corporation shall be managed and its corporate powers exercised by the board of directors.

 

4



 

Section 2.              Number.  The corporation shall have two directors initially. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation at any regular or special meeting of shareholders, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director (unless the shareholders remove the director), nor shall there ever be less than two directors.

 

Section 3.              Qualification.  Each director must be an adult, but need not be a resident of Florida or a shareholder of the corporation.

 

Section 4.              Election and Term.  Each person named in the articles of incorporation as a member of the initial board of directors shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders shall elect directors to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until is successor has been elected and qualified of until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office.

 

Section 5.              Compensation.  The board of directors has authority to fix the compensation of the directors as directors and as officers.

 

Section 6.              Duties of Directors. A director shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he serves, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances.

 

In performing his duties, a director may rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by the following:

 

(a)           one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

(b)           counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director reasonably believes to be within that person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

(c)           a committee of the board upon which he does not serve and which he reasonably believes to merit confidence, as to matters within the authority designated by it by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws.

 

A director shall not be considered as acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause the reliance described above to be unwarranted. A person who performs his duties in compliance with this section shall have no liability because of his being or having been a director of the corporation.

 

Section 7.              Presumption of Assent.  A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken is presumed to

 

5



 

have assented to the action unless he votes against it or expressly abstains from voting on it. The secretary of the meeting shall record each abstention in the minutes of the meeting.

 

Section 8.              Vacancies.  Unless filled by the shareholders, any vacancy occurring in the board of directors, including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even though it is less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

 

Section 9.              Removal of Directors.  At a meeting of shareholders called for that purpose, the shareholders, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, may remove any director or the entire board of directors, with or without cause, and fill any vacancies created by the removal.

 

Section 10.            Quorum and Voting.  A majority of the full board of directors constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the board of directors.

 

Section 11.            Executive and Other Committees.  The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full board of directors, may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of which, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the board of directors, except that no committee shall have the authority to:

 

(a)           approve or recommend to shareholders actions or proposals required by law to be approved by shareholders,

 

(b)           designate candidates for the office of director, for purposes of proxy solicitation or otherwise,

 

(c)           fill vacancies on the board of directors or any committee of the board,

 

(d)           amend the bylaws,

 

(e)           authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the board of directors, or

 

(f)            authorize or approve the issuance or sale of shares or any contract to issue or sell shares, or designate the terms of a series or class of shares, except as may be provided by the Florida General Corporation Act.

 

The board of directors, by resolution adopted according to this section, may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may act in the place of any absent member at any meeting of that committee.

 

Section 12.            Place of Meetings.  Regular and special meetings by the board of directors may be held within or outside the State of Florida.

 

6



 

Section 13.            Regular Meetings.  A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without notice other than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without notice other than that resolution.

 

Section 14.            Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director.

 

Section 15.            Notice of Meetings.  Written notice of the time and place of special meetings of the board of directors shall be given to each director by either personal delivery or first-class United States mail, telegram, or cablegram at least two days before the meeting.

 

Notice of a meeting of the board of directors need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice before, during, or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting and waiver of all objections to the time and place of the meeting, and the manner in which it was called or convened, except when the director attends the meeting solely to object, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of that meeting.

 

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the board of directors to another time and place. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors.

 

Section 16.            Method of Meeting.  Members of the board of directors may participate in a meeting of the board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

 

Section 17.            Action Without a Meeting.  Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee of the directors, may be taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all the directors or committee members, is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the board or the committee before the action is taken. All directors need not sign the same document. A unanimous, written consent has the same effect as a unanimous vote.

 

Section 18.            Director Conflicts of Interest.  No contract or other transaction between this corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the directors are directors or officers or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of that relationship or interest or because the director or directors are present at the meeting of the board of directors or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction or because his or their votes are counted for that purpose, if:

 

7



 

(a)           The existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors or committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose, without counting the votes and consents of the interested directors; or

 

(b)           The existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve, or ratify the contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or

 

(c)           The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation at the time it is authorized by the board, a committee, or the shareholders.

 

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction.

 

ARTICLE III.  OFFICERS

 

Section 1.              Officers.  The officers of the corporation shall consist of a president, a secretary, and a treasurer, and may include one or more vice presidents, one or more assistant secretaries, and one or more assistant treasurers. The officers shall be elected initially by the board of directors at the organization meeting of directors and, after that, at the first meeting of the board following the annual meeting of the shareholders each year. The board from time to time may elect or appoint other officers, assistant officers, and agents, who shall have such authority and perform such duties as the board prescribes. Each officer shall hold office until his successor is appointed and has qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. One person may hold any two or more offices. The failure to elect a president, secretary, or treasurer shall not affect the existence of the corporation.

 

Section 2.              President.  The president is the chief executive officer of the corporation. Subject to the directions of the board of directors, he has general and active management of the business and affairs of the corporation, may sign certificates of stock, bonds, deeds and contracts for the corporation, and shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and board of directors.

 

Section 3.              Vice Presidents.  Each vice president has the powers and shall perform the duties that the board of directors or the president prescribes. Unless the board otherwise provides, if the president is absent or unable to act, the vice president who has served in that capacity for the longest time and who is present and able to act shall perform all the duties and may exercise all the powers of the president. Unless the board otherwise provides, any vice president may sign bonds, deeds, and contracts for the corporation and, with the secretary or assistant secretary, may sign certificates for shares of stock of the corporation.

 

Section 4.              Secretary.  The secretary shall (a) keep the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders and the board of directors in one or more books provided for that purpose, (b) see that all notices are duly given according to the relevant provisions of these bylaws or as required by law, (c) maintain custody of the corporate records and seal, attest the signatures of officers who execute documents on behalf of the corporation, and affix the seal to all documents that are executed on behalf of the corporation under its seal, (d) keep a register of each

 

8



 

shareholder’s mailing address that the shareholder furnishes to the secretary, (e) sign with the president or a vice president certificates for shares of stock of the corporation, the issuance of which has been authorized by resolution of the board of directors, (f) have general charge of the stock transfer books of the corporation, and (g) in general perform all duties incident to the office of secretary and such other duties as the president or the board of directors from time to time prescribes.

 

Section 5.              Treasurer.  The treasurer shall (a) have charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds and securities of the corporation, (b) receive and give receipts for all monies due and payable to the corporation and deposit all monies in the name of the corporation in the banks, trust companies, or other depositaries selected by the board of directors, and (c) in general perform all the duties incident to the office of treasurer and such other duties and the president or the board of directors from time to time assigns to him. If required by the board of directors, the treasurer shall give a bond for the faithful discharge of his duties in such sum and with such sureties as the board of directors determines.

 

Section 6.              Removal of Officers.  An officer or agent elected or appointed by the board of directors may be removed by the board whenever in its judgment his removal would serve the best interests of the corporation. Removal shall be without prejudice to any contract rights of the person removed. The mere appointment of any person as an officer, agent, or employee of the corporation does not create any contract rights. The board of directors may fill a vacancy in any office.

 

Section 7.              Salaries.  The board of directors from time to time shall fix the salaries of the officers, and no officer shall be prevented from receiving a salary merely because he is also a director of the corporation.

 

ARTICLE IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

Any person, or his heirs, or personal representative who is made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, because he or his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of this corporation or serves or served any other corporation or enterprise in any capacity at the request of this corporation, shall be indemnified by this corporation, and this corporation may advance his related expenses, to the full extent permitted by law. The foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement shall not be exclusive of other rights to which the person or his heirs, or personal representative may be entitled. The corporation may, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of its board of directors, purchase insurance for the purpose of indemnifying these persons. The insurance may be for the benefit of all directors, officers, or employees.

 

ARTICLE V.  STOCK CERTIFICATES

 

Section 1.              Issuance.  Every shareholder of this corporation is entitled to have a certificate, evidencing all shares to which he is entitled. No certificate shall be issued for any share until the share is fully paid.

 

9



 

Section 2.              Form.  Certificates evidencing shares in this corporation shall be signed by the president or a vice president and the secretary or an assistant secretary and may be sealed with the seal of this corporation or a facsimile of the seal.

 

The signatures of the foregoing officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or a registrar, other than the corporation or an employee of the corporation. If, before the certificate is issued, any officer holder who signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on the certificate ceases to hold that office, the certificate may be issued and will be as effective as if that person were an officer at the date of issuance.

 

Every certificate evidencing shares that are restricted as to the sale, disposition, or other transfer shall (a) bear a legend stating that those shares are restricted as to transfer and (b) summarize, or state that the corporation will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and without charge, a full statement of, those restrictions.

 

Every certificate evidencing shares shall state on its face (a) the name of the corporation, (b) that the corporation is organized under the laws of Florida, (c) the name of the person or persons to whom the shares are issued, (d) the number and class of shares, (e) the designation of the series, if any, that the certificate evidences, and (f) the par value of each share evidenced by the certificate or a statement that the shares have no par value.

Section 4.              Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates.  The corporation may issue a new certificate in the place of any certificate previously issued if the holder of record of the corporation (a) makes proof in affidavit form that it has been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, (b) requests the issuance of a new certificate before the corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, (c) if requested by the corporation, gives bond in such form as the corporation directs, to indemnify the corporation, the transfer agent, and the registrar against any claim that may be made because of the alleged loss, destruction, or theft of a certificate, and (d) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the corporation.

 

ARTICLE VI.  BOOKS AND RECORDS

 

Section 1.              Records Required.  This corporation shall keep correct and complete books and records of account and minutes of the proceedings of its shareholders, board of directors, and committees of directors, and shall keep at its registered office or principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, a record of its shareholders, giving the names and addresses of all shareholders, and the number, class and series, if any, of the shares held by each.

 

Section 2.              Form.  The corporation’s books, records, and minutes may be written or kept in any other form capable of being converted into writing within a reasonable time.

This right of inspection does not extend to any person who is not acting in good faith or for a proper purpose in making his demand or who, within two years, has (a) sole or offered for sale any list of shareholders or holders of voting trust certificates for shares of this or any other corporation, (b) aided or abetted any person in obtaining a list of shareholders or holders of voting trust certificates for that purpose, or (c) improperly used any information secured through any prior examination of the minutes, books and records of account, or record of shareholders or holders of voting trust certificates for shares of this or any other corporation.

 

Section 4.              Financial Reports.  Unless modified by resolution of the shareholders, not later than four months after the close of each fiscal year, this corporation shall prepare a balance sheet showing in reasonable detail the financial condition of the corporation as of the close of its fiscal year and a profit and loss statement showing the results of its operation during its fiscal year. These balance sheets and profit and loss statements shall be (a) filed in the registered officer of the corporation in Florida, (b) kept for at least five (5) years, and (c) subject to inspection during business hours by any shareholder or holder of voting trust certificates, in person or by agent.

BY LAWS

 

OF

 

INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL OVERSEAS HOLDINGS, INC.
a Florida corporation

 

ARTICLE I.  MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

Section 1.  Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation for the election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held during the month following the close of each fiscal year, at a time and place to be determined by the president or board of directors. If the annual meeting is not held, by oversight or otherwise, a special meeting shall be held as soon as practical, and any business transacted or election held at that meeting shall be as valid as if transacted or held at the annual meeting.

 

Section 2.  Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose shall be held when called by the president or the board of directors or when requested in writing by the holder or holders of not less than ten percent of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. A meeting requested by the Shareholders shall be called for a date not less than ten nor more than sixty days after the request is made, unless the shareholders requesting the meeting designate a later date. The secretary shall issue the call for the meeting, unless the president, the board of directors, or the shareholders requesting the meeting designate another person to do so. The shareholders at a special meeting may transact only business that is related to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

 

Section 3.  Place. Meetings of shareholders may be held either within or outside the State of Florida.

 

Section 4.  Notice. A written notice of each meeting of shareholders, stating the place, day, and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date set for the meeting, either personally or by first class mail, by or at the direction of the president, the secretary, or the officer or other persons calling  the meeting. If mailed, the notice is effective when it is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. This notice shall be sufficient for that meeting and any adjournment of the meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken and if after adjournment, the board does not fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If any shareholder transfers any of his stock after notice is given, it shall not be necessary to notify the transferee.

 

Section 5.  Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder of the corporation under these bylaws, the articles of incorporation, or the Florida General Corporation Act, a written waiver of notice signed at any time by the person entitled to that notice shall be equivalent to giving the notice. Attendance by a shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting, in person or by proxy, constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when

 



 

the shareholder attends a meeting for the purpose, expressed at the beginning of the meeting, of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 6.  Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to payment of any dividend or to receive notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment of any meeting or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the board of directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a period not to exceed sixty days. If the stock transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, they shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding that meeting. Instead of closing the stock transfer books, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders, but that date shall never be more than sixty days nor, in case of a meeting of shareholders, less than ten days prior to the date on which the action requiring the determination of shareholders, the date on which either notice of the meeting is mailed or the resolution of the board of directors declaring a dividend or authorizing the action that requires a determination of shareholders is adopted shall be the record date for the determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, the determination shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, unless the board of directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

Section 7.  Voting Record. At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting, stating each shareholder’s address and the number, class, and series of shares that he holds. This list shall be kept on file for ten days before the meeting at the corporation’s registered office or principal place of business or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, and any shareholder may inspect the list anytime during usual business hours. The list also shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting, and any shareholder may inspect it anytime during the meeting.

 

If the requirements of this section have not been substantially complied with, the meeting shall be adjourned upon the demand of any shareholder, in person or by proxy, until the requirements are complied with. If no demand is made, failure to comply with the requirements of this section does not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting.

 

Section 8.  Shareholder Quorum and Voting A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. When an item of business must be voted on by a class or series of stock, a majority of the shares of that class or series constitutes a quorum for the transaction of that business by that class or series.

 

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is the act of the shareholders unless otherwise provided by law.

 

2



 

After a quorum has been established at a shareholders’ meeting, a withdrawal of shareholders that reduces the number of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum does not affect the validity of any action taken at or adjournment of the meeting.

 

Section 9.  Voting of Shares. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders is entitled, upon each proposal presented to the meeting, to one vote for each share of voting stock recorded in his name on the books of the corporation on the record date fixed as provided in Article I, Section 6 of these bylaws. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or his duly author00ized attorney-in-fact. Treasury shares, shares of stock of this corporation owned by another corporation the majority of the voting stock of which is owned or controlled by this corporation, and shares of this corporation that it holds in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

 

The chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporate shareholder, in that order, are presumed to possess authority to vote shares standing in the name of the corporate shareholder in the absence of a bylaw or other instrument of the corporate shareholder designating some other officer, agent, or proxy to vote the shares. Proof of that designation shall be made by presentation of a certified copy of the bylaws or other instrument of the corporate shareholder.

 

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of those shares into his name. A trustee may vote, either in person or by proxy, shares standing in his name, but no trustee may vote any shares that are not transferred into his name. If he is authorized to do so by an appropriate order of the court by which he was appointed, a receiver may vote shares standing in his name or held by or under his control without a transfer of those shares into his name. A shareholder whose shares are pledged may vote those shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee or his nominee shall be entitled to vote the shares transferred, unless the instrument creating the pledge provides otherwise.

 

Section 10.  Proxies. A shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting or a shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact may authorize one or more persons to act for him by proxy. To be effective, a proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact. A proxy granting authority to vote shares that are registered in the names of multiple owners is effective only if each record owner signs it. A proxy is not valid after eleven months from its date unless it provides otherwise. A proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law. A proxy holder’s authority to act is not revoked by the incompetence or death of the shareholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, the corporate officer responsible for maintaining the list of shareholders receives written notice of an adjudication of incompetence or death.

 

If a proxy for the same shares confers authority on two or more persons and does not otherwise indicate how the shares should be voted, a majority of those proxies who are present at the meeting (or a single proxy holder if only one is present) may exercise all the powers

 

3



 

conferred by the proxy, but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the manner of voting in any case, the voting of the shares subject to the proxy shall be prorated. If a proxy expressly provides, the proxy holder may appoint in writing a substitute to act in his place.

 

Section 11.  Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting. Any action required by law, these bylaws, or the articles of incorporation of this corporation to be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a written consent, setting forth the action taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the matter were present and voted. All shareholders need not sign the same document. If any class of shares is entitled to vote as a class, written consent required is of both (a) the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote as a class, and (b) the total shares entitled to vote on the matter.

 

Within ten days after the shareholders authorize an action by written consent, written notice shall be given to the shareholders who did not consent. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action is a merger, consolidation, or sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters’ rights are provided under the Florida General Corporation Act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of the dissenting shareholders to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with the other provisions of the Act concerning the rights of dissenting shareholders.

 

Section 12.  Voting Trusts. Any number of shareholders of this corporation may create a voting trust in the manner provided by law for the purpose of conferring upon the trustee or trustees the right to vote or otherwise represent their shares. When the counterpart of a voting trust agreement and a copy of the record of the holders of voting trust certificates are deposited with the corporation as provided by law, those documents shall be subject to the same right of examination by a shareholder of the corporation, in person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of the corporation, and the counterpart and the copy of the record shall be subject to examination by any holder of record of voting trust certificates, either in person or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time for any proper purpose.

 

Section 13.  Shareholders Agreements. Two or more shareholders of this corporation may enter into an agreement providing for the exercise of voting rights in the manner provided in the agreement or relating to any phase of the affairs of the corporation, in the manner and to the extent provided by law. The agreement shall not impair the right of this corporation to treat a shareholder of record as entitled to vote the shares as standing in his name.

 

ARTICLE II.  DIRECTORS

 

Section 1.  Function. The business of this corporation shall be managed and its corporate powers exercised by the board of directors.

 

4



 

Section 2.  Number. The corporation shall have two directors initially. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation at any regular or special meeting of shareholders, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director (unless the shareholders remove the director), nor shall there ever be less than two directors.

 

Section 3.  Qualification. Each director must be an adult, but need not be a resident of Florida or a shareholder of the corporation.

 

Section 4.  Election and Term. Each person named in the articles of incorporation as a member of the initial board of directors shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders shall elect directors to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until is successor has been elected and qualified of until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office.

 

Section 5.  Compensation. The board of directors has authority to fix the compensation of the directors as directors and as officers.

 

Section 6.  Duties of Directors. A director shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he serves, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances.

 

In performing his duties, a director may rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by the following:

 

(a)           one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

(b)           counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director reasonably believes to be within that person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

(c)           a committee of the board upon which he does not serve and which he reasonably believes to merit confidence, as to matters within the authority designated by it by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws.

 

A director shall not be considered as acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause the reliance described above to be unwarranted. A person who performs his duties in compliance with this section shall have no liability because of his being or having been a director of the corporation.

 

Section 7.  Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken is presumed to

 

5



 

have assented to the action unless he votes against it or expressly abstains from voting on it. The secretary of the meeting shall record each abstention in the minutes of the meeting.

 

Section 8.  Vacancies. Unless filled by the shareholders, any vacancy occurring in the board of directors, including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even though it is less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

 

Section 9.  Removal of Directors. At a meeting of shareholders called for that purpose, the shareholders, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, may remove any director or the entire board of directors, with or without cause, and fill any vacancies created by the removal.

 

Section 10.  Quorum and Voting. A majority of the full board of directors constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the board of directors.

 

Section 11.  Executive and Other Committees. The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full board of directors, may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of which, to the extent provided in the resolution shall have and may exercise all the authority of the board of directors, except that no committee shall have the authority to:

 

(a)           approve or recommend to shareholders actions or proposals required by law to be approved by shareholders,

 

(b)           designate candidates for the office of director, for purposes of proxy solicitation or otherwise,

 

(c)           fill vacancies on the board of directors or any committee of the board,

 

(d)           amend the bylaws,

 

(e)           authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the board of directors, or

 

(f)            authorize or approve the issuance or sale of shares or any contract to issue or sell shares, or designate the terms of a series or class of shares, except as may be provided by the Florida General Corporation Act.

 

The board of directors, by resolution adopted according to this section, may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may act in the place of any absent member at any meeting of that committee.

 

Section 12.  Place of Meetings. Regular and special meetings by the board of directors may be held within or outside the State of Florida.

 

6



 

Section 13.  Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without notice other than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without notice other than that resolution.

 

Section 14.  Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director.

 

Section 15.  Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the time and place of special meetings of the board of directors shall be given to each director by either personal delivery or first-class United States mail, telegram, or cablegram at least two days before the meeting.

 

Notice of a meeting of the board of directors need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice before, during, or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting and waiver of all objections to the time and place of the meeting, and the manner in which it was called or convened, except when the director attends the meeting solely to object, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of that meeting.

 

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the board of directors to another time and place. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors.

 

Section 16.  Method of Meeting. Members of the board of directors may participate in a meeting of the board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

 

Section 17.  Action Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee of the directors, may be taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all the directors or committee members, is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the board or the committee before the action is taken. All directors need not sign the same document. A unanimous, written consent has the same effect as a unanimous vote.

 

Section 18.  Director Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between this corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the directors are directors or officers or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of that relationship or interest or because the director or directors are present at the meeting of the board of directors or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction or because his or their votes are counted for that purpose, if:

 

7



 

(a)           The existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors or committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose, without counting the votes and consents of the interested directors; or

 

(b)           The existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve, or ratify the contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or

 

(c)           The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation at the time it is authorized by the board, a committee, or the shareholders.

 

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction.

 

ARTICLE III.  OFFICERS

 

Section 1.  Officers. The officers of the corporation shall consist of a president, a secretary, and a treasurer, and may include one or more vice presidents, one or more assistant secretaries, and one or more assistant treasurers. The officers shall be elected initially by the board of directors at the organization meeting of directors and, after that, at the first meeting of the board following the annual meeting of the shareholders each year. The board from time to time may elect or appoint other officers, assistant officers, and agents, who shall have such authority and perform such duties as the board prescribes. Each officer shall hold office until his successor is appointed and has qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. One person may hold any two or more offices. The failure to elect a president, secretary, or treasurer shall not affect the existence of the corporation.

 

Section 2.  President. The president is the chief executive officer of the corporation. Subject to the directions of the board of directors, he has general and active management of the business and affairs of the corporation, may sign certificates of stock, bonds, deeds and contracts for the corporation, and shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and board of directors.

 

Section 3.  Vice Presidents. Each vice president has the powers and shall perform the duties that the board of directors or the president prescribes. Unless the board otherwise provides, if the president is absent or unable to act, the vice president who has served in that capacity for the longest time and who is present and able to act shall perform all the duties and may exercise all the powers of the president. Unless the board otherwise provides, any vice president may sign bonds, deeds, and contracts for the corporation and, with the secretary or assistant secretary, may sign certificates for shares of stock of the corporation.

 

Section 4.  Secretary. The secretary shall (a) keep the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders and the board of directors in one or more books provided for that purpose, (b) see that all notices are duly given according to the relevant provisions of these bylaws or as required by law, (c) maintain custody of the corporate records and seal, attest the signatures of officers who execute documents on behalf of the corporation, and affix the seal to all documents that are executed on behalf of the corporation under its seal, (d) keep a register of each shareholder’s

 

8



 

mailing address that the shareholder furnishes to the secretary, (e) sign with the president or a vice president certificates for shares of stock of the corporation, the issuance of which has been authorized by resolution of the board of directors, (f) have general charge of the stock transfer books of the corporation, and (g) in general perform all duties incident to the office of secretary and such other duties as the president or the board of directors from time to time prescribes.

 

Section 5.  Treasurer. The treasurer shall (a) have charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds and securities of the corporation, (b) receive and give receipts for all monies due and payable to the corporation and deposit all monies in the name of the corporation in the banks, trust companies, or other depositaries selected by the board of directors, and (c) in general perform all the duties incident to the office of treasurer and such other duties and the president or the board of directors from time to time assigns to him. If required by the board of directors, the treasurer shall give a bond for the faithful discharge of his duties in such sum and with such sureties as the board of directors determines.

 

Section 6.  Removal of Officers. An officer or agent elected or appointed by the board of directors may be removed by the board whenever in its judgment his removal would serve the best interests of the corporation. Removal shall be without prejudice to any contract rights of the person removed. The mere appointment of any person as an officer, agent, or employee of the corporation does not create any contract rights. The board of directors may fill a vacancy in any office.

 

Section 7.  Salaries. The board of directors from time to time shall fix the salaries of the officers, and no officer shall be prevented from receiving a salary merely because he is also a director of the corporation.

 

ARTICLE IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

Any person, or his heirs, or personal representative who is made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, because he or his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of this corporation or serves or served any other corporation or enterprise in any capacity at the request of this corporation, shall be indemnified by this corporation, and this corporation may advance his related expenses, to the full extent permitted by law. The foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement shall not be exclusive of other rights to which the person or his heirs, or personal representative may be entitled. The corporation may, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of its board of directors, purchase insurance for the purpose of indemnifying these persons. The insurance may be for the benefit of all directors, officers, or employees.

 

ARTICLE V.  STOCK CERTIFICATES

 

Section 1.  Issuance. Every shareholder of this corporation is entitled to have a certificate, evidencing all shares to which he is entitled. No certificate shall be issued for any share until the share is fully paid.

 

9



 

Section 2.  Form. Certificates evidencing shares in this corporation shall be signed by the president or a vice president and the secretary or an assistant secretary and may be sealed with the seal of this corporation or a facsimile of the seal.

 

The signatures of the foregoing officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or a registrar, other than the corporation or an employee of the corporation. If, before the certificate is issued, any officer holder who signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on the certificate ceases to hold that office, the certificate may be issued and will be as effective as if that person were an officer at the date of issuance.

 

Every certificate evidencing shares that are restricted as to the sale, disposition, or other transfer shall (a) bear a legend stating that those shares are restricted as to transfer and (b) summarize, or state that the corporation will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and without charge, a full statement of, those restrictions.

Section 4.  Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. The corporation may issue a new certificate in the place of any certificate previously issued if the holder of record of the corporation (a) makes proof in affidavit form that it has been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, (b) requests the issuance of a new certificate before the corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, (c) if requested by the corporation, gives bond in such form as the corporation directs, to indemnify the corporation, the transfer agent, and the registrar against any claim that may be made because of the alleged loss, destruction, or theft of a certificate, and (d) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the corporation.

 

ARTICLE VI.  BOOKS AND RECORDS

 

Section 1.  Records Required. This corporation shall keep correct and complete books and records of account and minutes of the proceedings of its shareholders, board of directors, and committees of directors, and shall keep at its registered office or principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, a record of its shareholders, giving the names and addresses of all shareholders, and the number, class and series, if any, of the shares held by each.

 

Section 2.  Form. The corporation’s books, records, and minutes may be written or kept in any other form capable of being converted into writing within a reasonable time.

 

10

This right of inspection does not extend to any person who is not acting in good faith or for a proper purpose in making his demand or who, within two years, has (a) sole or offered for sale any list of shareholders or holders of voting trust certificates for shares of this or any other corporation, (b) aided or abetted any person in obtaining a list of shareholders or holders of voting trust certificates for that purpose, or (c) improperly used any information secured through any prior examination of the minutes, books and records of account, or record of shareholders or holders of voting trust certificates for shares of this or any other corporation.

 

Section 4.  Financial Reports. Unless modified by resolution of the shareholders, not later than four months after the close of each fiscal year, this corporation shall prepare a balance sheet showing in reasonable detail the financial condition of the corporation as of the close of its fiscal year and a profit and loss statement showing the results of its operation during its fiscal year. These balance sheets and profit and loss statements shall be (a) filed in the registered officer of the corporation in Florida, (b) kept for at least five (5) years, and (c) subject to inspection during business hours by any shareholder or holder of voting trust certificates, in person or by agent. The corporation shall mail a copy of the most recent balance sheet and profit and loss statement to any shareholder or holder of voting trust certificates for shares of the corporation, upon his written request.

BY LAWS

 

OF

 

TENSTAR CORPORATION,
a Florida corporation

 

ARTICLE I.  MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

Section 1.  Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation for the election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held during the month following the close of president or board of directors. If the annual meeting is not held, by oversight or otherwise, a special meeting shall be held as soon as practical, and any business transacted or election held at that meeting shall be as valid as if transacted or held at the annual meeting.

 

Section 2.  Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose shall be held when called by the president or the board of directors or when requested in writing by the holder or holders of not less than ten percent of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. A meeting requested by the Shareholders shall be called for a date not less than ten nor more than sixty days after the request is made, unless the shareholders requesting the meeting designate a later date. The secretary shall issue the call for the meeting, unless the president, the board of directors, or the shareholders requesting the meeting designate another person to do so. The shareholders at a special meeting may transact only business that is related to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

 

Section 3.  Place. Meetings of shareholders may be held either within or outside the State of Florida.

 

Section 4.  Notice. A written notice of each meeting of shareholders, stating the place, day, and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date set for the meeting, either personally or by first class mail, by or at the direction of the president, the secretary, or the officer or other persons calling the meeting. if mailed, the notice is effective when it is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. This notice shall be sufficient for that meeting and any adjournment of the meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken and if after adjournment, the board does not fix a  new record date for the adjourned meeting. If any shareholder transfers any of his stock after notice is given, it shall not be necessary to notify the transferee.

 

Section 5.  Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder of the corporation under these bylaws, the articles of incorporation, or the Florida General Corporation Act, a written waiver of notice signed at any time by the person entitled to that notice shall be equivalent to giving the notice. Attendance by a shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting, in person or by proxy, constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when

 



 

the shareholder attends a meeting for the purpose, expressed at the beginning of the meeting, of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 6.  Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to payment of any dividend or to receive notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment of any meeting or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the board of directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a period not to exceed sixty days. If the stock transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, they shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding that meeting. Instead of closing the stock transfer books, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders, but that date shall never be more than sixty days nor, in case of a meeting of shareholders, less than ten days prior to the date on which the action requiring the determination of shareholders, the date on which either notice of the meeting is mailed or the resolution of the board of directors declaring a dividend or authorizing the action that requires a determination of shareholders is adopted shall be the record date for the determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, the determination shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, unless the board of directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

Section 7.  Voting Record. At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting, stating each shareholder’s address and the number, class, and series of shares that he holds. This list shall be kept on file for ten days before the meeting at the corporation’s registered office or principal place of business or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, and any shareholder may inspect the list anytime during usual business hours. The list also shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting, and any shareholder may inspect it anytime during the meeting.

 

If the requirements of this section have not been substantially complied with, the meeting shall be adjourned upon the demand of any shareholder, in person or by proxy, until the requirements are complied with. If no demand is made, failure to comply with the requirements of this section does not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting.

 

Section 8.  Shareholder Quorum and Voting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. When an item of business must be voted on by a class or series of stock, a majority of the shares of that class or series constitutes a quorum for the transaction of that business by that class or series.

 

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is the act of the shareholders unless otherwise provided by law.

 

2



 

After a quorum has been established at a shareholders’ meeting, a withdrawal of shareholders that reduces the number of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum does not affect the validity of any action taken at or adjournment of the meeting.

 

Section 9.  Voting of Shares. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders is entitled, upon each proposal presented to the meeting, to one vote for each share of voting stock recorded in his name on the books of the corporation on the record date fixed as provided in Article I, Section 6 of these bylaws. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Treasury shares, shares of stock of this corporation owned by another corporation the majority of the voting stock of which is owned or controlled by this corporation, and shares of this corporation that it holds in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares.

 

The chairman of the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporate shareholder, in that order, are presumed to possess authority to vote shares standing in the name of the corporate shareholder in the absence of a bylaw or other instrument of the corporate shareholder designating some other officer, agent, or proxy to vote the shares. Proof of that designation shall be made by presentation of a certified copy of the bylaws or other instrument of the corporate shareholder.

 

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of those shares into his name. A trustee may vote, either in person or by proxy, shares standing in his name, but no trustee may vote any shares that are not transferred into his name. if he is authorized to do so by an appropriate order of the court by which he was appointed, a receiver may vote shares standing in his name or held by or under his control without a transfer of those shares into his name. A shareholder whose shares are pledged may vote those shares until the shares  have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee or his nominee shall be entitled to vote the shares transferred, unless the instrument creating the pledge provides otherwise.

 

Section 10.  Proxies. A shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting or a shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact may authorize one or more persons to act for him by proxy. To be effective, a proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact. A proxy granting authority to vote shares that are registered in the names of multiple owners is effective only if each record owner signs it. A proxy is not valid after eleven months from its date unless it provides otherwise. A proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law. A proxy holders authority to act is not revoked by the incompetence or death of the shareholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, the corporate officer responsible for maintaining the list of shareholders receives written notice of an adjudication of incompetence or death.

 

If a proxy for the same shares confers authority on two or more persons and does not otherwise indicate how the shares should be voted, a majority of those proxies who are present at the meeting (or a single proxy holder if only one is present) may exercise all the powers

 

3



 

conferred by the proxy, but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the manner of voting in any case, the voting of the shares subject to the proxy shall be prorated. If a proxy expressly provides, the proxy holder may appoint in writing a substitute to act in his place.

 

Section 11.  Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting. Any action required by law, these bylaws, or the articles of incorporation of this corporation to be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a written consent, setting forth the action taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the matter were present and voted. All shareholders need not sign the same document. If any class of shares is entitled to vote as a class, written consent required is of both (a) the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote as a class, and (b) the total shares entitled to vote on the matter.

 

Within ten days after the shareholders authorize an action by written consent, written notice shall be given to the shareholders who did not consent. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action is a merger, consolidation, or sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters’ rights are provided under the Florida General Corporation Act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of the dissenting shareholders to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with the other provisions of the Act concerning the rights of dissenting shareholders.

 

Section 12.  Voting Trusts. Any number of shareholders of this corporation may create a voting trust in the manner provided by law for the purpose of conferring upon the trustee or trustees the right to vote or otherwise represent their shares. When the counterpart of a voting trust agreement and a copy of the record of the holders of voting trust certificates are deposited with the corporation as provided by law, those documents shall be subject to the same right of examination by a shareholder of the corporation, in person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of the corporation, and the counterpart and the copy of the record shall be subject to examination by any holder of record of voting trust certificates, either in person or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time for any proper purpose.

 

Section 13.  Shareholders Agreements. Two or more shareholders of this corporation may enter into an agreement providing for the exercise of voting rights in the manner provided in the agreement or relating to any phase of the affairs of the corporation, in the manner and to the extent provided by law. The agreement shall not impair the right of this corporation to treat a shareholder of record as entitled to vote the shares as standing in his name.

 

ARTICLE II.  DIRECTORS

 

Section 1.  Function. The business of this corporation shall be managed and its corporate powers exercised by the board of directors.

 

4



 

Section 2.  Number. The corporation shall have two directors initially. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation at any regular or special meeting of shareholders, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director (unless the shareholders remove the director), nor shall there ever be less than two directors.

 

Section 3.  Qualification. Each director must be an adult, but need not be a resident of Florida or a shareholder of the corporation.

 

Section 4.  Election and Term. Each person named in the articles of incorporation as a member of the initial board of directors shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders shall elect directors to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until is successor has been elected and qualified of until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office.

 

Section 5.  Compensation. The board of directors has authority to fix the compensation of the directors as directors and as officers.

 

Section 6.  Duties of Directors. A director shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he serves, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances.

 

In performing his duties, a director may rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by the following:

 

(a)   one or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

(b)   counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the director reasonably believes to be within that person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

(c)   a committee of the board upon which he does not serve and which he reasonably believes to merit confidence, as to matters within the authority designated by it by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws.

 

A director shall not be considered as acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause the reliance described above to be unwarranted. A person who performs his duties in compliance with this section shall have no liability because of his being or having been a director of the corporation.

 

Section 7.  Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken is presumed to

 

5



 

have assented to the action unless he votes against it or expressly abstains from voting on it. The secretary of the meeting shall record each abstention in the minutes of the meeting.

 

Section 8.  Vacancies. Unless filled by the shareholders, any vacancy occurring in the board of directors, including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even though it is less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

 

Section 9.  Removal of Directors. At a meeting of shareholders called for that purpose, the shareholders, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to  vote at an election of directors, may remove any director or the entire board of directors, with or without cause, and fill any vacancies created by the removal.

 

Section 10.  Quorum and Voting. A majority of the full board of directors constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the board of directors.

 

Section 11.  Executive and Other Committees. The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full board of directors, may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of which, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the board of directors, except that no committee shall have the authority to:

 

(a)  approve or recommend to shareholders actions or proposals required by law to be approved by shareholders,

 

(b)  designate candidates for the office of director, for purposes of proxy solicitation or otherwise,

 

(c)  fill vacancies on the board of directors or any committee of the board,

 

(d)  amend the bylaws,

 

(e)  authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the board of directors, or

 

(f)  authorize or approve the issuance or sale of shares or any contract to issue or sell shares, or designate the terms of a series or class of shares, except as may be provided by the Florida General Corporation Act.

 

The board of directors, by resolution adopted according to this section, may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may act in the place of any absent member at any meeting of that committee.

 

Section 12.  Place of Meetings. Regular and special meetings by the board of directors may be held within or outside the State of Florida.

 

6



 

Section 13.  Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without notice other than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without notice other than that resolution.

 

Section 14.  Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director.

 

Section 15.  Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the time and place of special meetings of the board of directors shall be given to each director by either personal delivery or first-class United States mail, telegram, or cablegram at least two days before the meeting.

 

Notice of a meeting of the board of directors need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice before, during, or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting and waiver of all objections to the time and place of the meeting, and the manner in which it was called or convened, except when the director attends the meeting solely to object, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of that meeting.

 

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the board of directors to another time and place. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors.

 

Section 16.  Method of Meeting. Members of the board of directors may participate in a meeting of the board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

 

Section 17.  Action Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee of the directors, may be taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all the directors or committee members, is flied in the minutes of the proceedings of the board or the committee before the action is taken. All directors need not sign the same document. A unanimous, written consent has the same effect as a unanimous vote.

 

Section 18.  Director Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between this corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the directors are directors or officers or are  financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of that relationship or interest or because the director or directors are present at the meeting of the board of directors or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction or because his or their votes are counted for that purpose, if:

 

7



 

(a)  The existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors or committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose, without counting the votes and consents of the interested directors; or

 

(b)  The existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve, or ratify the contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or

 

(c)  The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation at the time it is authorized by the board, a committee, or the shareholders.

 

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction.

 

ARTICLE III.  OFFICERS

 

Section 1.  Officers. The officers of the corporation shall consist of a president, a secretary, and a treasurer, and may include one or more vice presidents, one or more assistant secretaries, and one or more assistant treasurers. The officers shall be elected initially by the board of directors at the organization meeting of directors and, after that, at the first meeting of the board following the annual meeting of the shareholders each year. The board from time to time may elect or appoint other officers, assistant officers, and agents, who shall have such authority and perform such duties as the board prescribes. Each officer shall hold office until his successor is appointed and has qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal from office. One person may hold any two or more offices. The failure to elect a president, secretary, or treasurer shall not affect the existence of the corporation.

 

Section 2.  President. The president is the chief executive officer of the corporation. Subject to the directions of the board of directors, he has general and active management of the business and affairs of the corporation, may sign certificates of stock, bonds, deeds and contracts for the corporation, and shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and board of directors.

 

Section 3.  Vice Presidents. Each vice president has the powers and shall perform the duties that the board of directors or the president prescribes. Unless the board otherwise provides, if the president is absent or unable to act, the vice president who has served in that capacity for the longest time and who is present and able to act shall perform all the duties and may exercise all the powers of the president. Unless the board otherwise provides, any vice president may sign bonds, deeds, and contracts for the corporation and, with the secretary or assistant secretary, may sign certificates for shares of stock of the corporation.

 

Section 4.  Secretary. The secretary shall (a) keep the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders and the board of directors in one or more books provided for that purpose, (b) see that all notices are duly given according to the relevant provisions of these bylaws or as required by law, (c) maintain custody of the corporate records and seal, attest the signatures of officers who execute documents on behalf of the corporation, and affix the seal to all documents that are executed on behalf of the corporation under its seal, (d) keep a register of each shareholder’s

 

8



 

mailing address that the shareholder furnishes to the secretary, (e) sign with the president or a vice president certificates for shares of stock of the corporation, the issuance of which has been authorized by resolution of the board of directors, (f) have general charge of the stock transfer books of the corporation, and (g) in general perform all duties incident to the office of secretary and such other duties as the president or the board of directors from time to time prescribes.

 

Section 5.  Treasurer. The treasurer shall (a) have charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds and securities of the corporation, (b) receive and give receipts for all monies due and payable to the corporation and deposit all monies in the name of the corporation in the banks, trust companies, or other depositaries selected by the board of directors, and (c) in general perform all the duties incident to the office of treasurer and such other duties and the president or the board of directors from time to time assigns to him. If required by the board of directors, the treasurer shall give a bond for the faithful discharge of his duties in such sum and with such sureties as the board of directors determines.

 

Section 6.  Removal of Officers. An officer or agent elected or appointed by the board of directors may be removed by the board whenever in its judgment his removal would serve the best interests of the corporation. Removal shall be without prejudice to any contract rights of the person removed. The mere appointment of any person as an officer, agent, or employee of the corporation does not create any contract rights. The board of directors may fill a vacancy in any office.

 

Section 7.  Salaries. The board of directors from time to time shall fix the salaries of the officers, and no officer shall be prevented from receiving a salary merely because he is also a director of the corporation.

 

ARTICLE IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

Any person, or his heirs, or personal representative who is made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, because he or his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of this corporation or serves or served any other corporation or enterprise in any capacity at the request of this corporation, shall be indemnified by this corporation, and this corporation may advance his related expenses, to the full extent permitted by law. The foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement shall not be exclusive of other rights to which the person or his heirs, or personal representative may be entitled. The corporation may, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of its board of directors, purchase insurance for the purpose of indemnifying these persons. The insurance may be for the benefit of all directors, officers, or employees.

 

ARTICLE V.  STOCK CERTIFICATES

 

Section 1.  Issuance. Every shareholder of this corporation is entitled to have a certificate, evidencing all shares to which he is entitled. No certificate shall be issued for any share until the share is fully paid.

 

9



 

Section 2.  Form. Certificates evidencing shares in this corporation shall be signed by the president or a vice president and the secretary or an assistant secretary and may be sealed with the seal of this corporation or a facsimile of the seal.

 

The signatures of the foregoing officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or a registrar, other than the corporation or an employee of the corporation. If, before the certificate is issued, any officer holder who signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on the certificate ceases to hold that office, the certificate may be issued and will be as effective as if that person were an officer at the date of issuance.

 

Every certificate evidencing shares that are restricted as to the sale, disposition, or other transfer shall (a) bear a legend stating that those shares are restricted as to transfer and (b) summarize, or state that the corporation will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and without charge, a full statement of, those restrictions.

 

Every certificate evidencing shares shall state on its face (a) the name of the corporation, (b) that the corporation is organized under the laws of Florida, (c) the name of the person or persons to whom the shares are issued, (d) the number and class of shares, (e) the designation of the series, if any, that the certificate evidences, and (f) the par value of each share evidenced by the certificate or a statement that the shares have no par value.

 

Section 3.  Transfer.

Section 4.  Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. The corporation may issue a new certificate in the place of any certificate previously issued if the holder of record of the corporation (a) makes proof in affidavit form that it has been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, (b) requests the issuance of a new certificate before the corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, (c) if requested by the corporation, gives bond in such form as the corporation directs, to indemnify the corporation, the transfer agent, and the registrar against any claim that may be made because of the alleged loss, destruction, or theft of a certificate, and (d) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the corporation.

Section 1.  Records Required. This corporation shall keep correct and complete books and records of account and minutes of the proceedings of its shareholders, board of directors, and committees of directors, and shall keep at its registered office or principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, a record of its shareholders, giving the names and addresses of all shareholders, and the number, class and series, if any, of the shares held by each.

4



 

Section 7.2             Number. The Company shall have three managers initially. The number of managers may be increased or decreased from time to time by the Member at any regular or special meeting of the Member, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent manager (unless the Member removes the manager), nor shall there ever be less than three managers. The initial members of the Board shall be Craig M. Nash, Jeanette E. Marbert, and W. Carl Drew.

 

Section 7.3             Qualification. Each manager must be an adult, but need not be a resident of Florida.

Section 7.6             Duties of Managers. A manager shall perform the duties of a manager, including such duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which such manager serves, in good faith, in a manner the manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances.

 

In performing such duties, a manager may rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by the following:

 

(a)           one or more officers or employees of the Company whom the manager reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

(b)           counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the manager reasonably believes to be within that person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

(c)           a committee of the Board upon which the manager does not serve, which committee the manager reasonably believes to merit confidence, as to matters within the authority designated by it by the Articles of Organization or this Operating Agreement.

 

A manager shall not be considered as acting in good faith if the manager has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause the reliance described above to be unwarranted. A person who performs the duties of a manager in compliance with this section shall have no liability for having served as a manager of the Company.

 

Section 7.7             Presumption of Assent. A manager of the Company who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any matter of the Company is taken is

presumed to have assented to the action unless such manager votes against it or expressly abstains from voting on it. The secretary of the meeting shall record each abstention in the minutes of the meeting.

 

Section 7.8             Vacancies. Unless filled by the Member, any vacancy occurring in the Board, including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of managers may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining managers, even though it is less than a quorum of the Board. A manager elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of managers by the Member.

 

Section 7.9             Removal of Manager. At a meeting of the Member called for that purpose, the Member may remove any manager or the entire Board, with or without cause, and fill any vacancies created by the removal.

 

Section 7.10           Quorum and Voting. A majority of the full Board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The act of the majority of the managers present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board.

 

Section 7.11           Executive and Other Committees. The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board, may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of which, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board, except that no committee shall have the authority to:

 

(a)           approve or recommend to the Member actions or proposals required by law to be approved by the Member;

Notice of a meeting of the Board need not be given to any manager who signs a waiver of notice before, during, or after the meeting. Attendance of a manager at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting and waiver of all objections to the time and place of the meeting, and the manner in which it was called or convened, except when the manager attends the meeting solely to object, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of that meeting.

 

A majority of the managers present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the Board to another time and place. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given to the managers who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other managers.

 

Section 7.16           Method of Meeting. Members of the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time.

Section 7.17           Action Without a Meeting. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the managers, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of the managers or a committee of the managers, may be taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all the managers or committee members, is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or the committee before the action is taken. All managers need not sign the same document. A unanimous, written consent has the same effect as a unanimous vote.

 

Section 7.18           Manager Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between the Company and one or more of its managers or any other limited liability company, corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the managers are managers or officers or are financially interested, shall be either void or voidable because of that relationship or interest or because the manager or managers are present at the meeting of the Board or a committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction or because the vote(s) of a manager(s) are counted for that purpose, if:

 

(a)           the existence of the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board or committee that authorizes, approves, or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose, without counting the votes and consents of the interest managers; or

BY-LAWS

 

OF

 

CUC Vacation Exchange, Inc.
(A Delaware Corporation)

 

1.             CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors if any, or by the President or a Vice-President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary for each share of stock owned by him in the corporation. Any and all signatures on any such certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is used, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

 

Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, and whenever the corporation shall issue any shares of its stock as partly paid stock, the certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any such partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Any restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.

 

The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

 

2.             FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, issue fractions of a share. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall (1) arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, (2) pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or (3) issue scrip or warrants in registered or bearer form which shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of Directors may cause scrip or warrants to be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing full shares before a specified date, or subject to the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are

3.             STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.

A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

Any action required by the General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

2.             DERIVATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

3.             AMOUNT OF INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that a director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

Subject to the provisions of the Preferred Stock, as and when dividends are declared or paid with respect to shares of Common Stock, whether in cash, property or securities of the Corporation, the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends pro rata among all holders of Common Stock at the same rate per share of each class of Common Stock; provided, that (a) if dividends are declared or paid in shares of Common Stock, the dividends payable to holders of Class A Common Stock shall be payable in shares of Class A Common Stock and the dividends payable to holders of Class B Common Stock shall be payable in shares of Class B Common Stock and (b) if the dividends consist of other voting securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall make available to each holder of Class B Common Stock dividends consisting of non-voting securities (except as otherwise requited by law) of the Corporation which are otherwise identical to the voting securities and which are convertible into such voting securities on the same terms as the Class B Common Stock is convertible into the Class A Common Stock.

(iii)                               Promptly after the surrender of certificates and the receipt of written notice, the Corporation shall issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder’s instructions the certificate or certificates for the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

(c)                                  Dividends. (i)(A) The holders of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, to the extent funds are legally available therefor, as and when declared by the Board, cumulative dividends at the annual rate per share of 10% of the Liquidation Preference (as defined in Paragraph (d)(i)), and all unpaid dividends, if any, whether or not declared, from the date of issuance of each share of Series A Preferred Stock to the applicable dividend payment date. Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be payable quarterly.

All dividend payments paid with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid pro rata to the holders entitled thereto. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereupon be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(C)                                Each fractional share of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall be entitled to a ratably proportionate amount of all dividends accruing with respect to each outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock

 

7



 

pursuant to Paragraph (c)(i)(A) of this Section 3, and all of such dividends with respect to such outstanding fractional shares shall be fully cumulative and shall accrue (whether or not declared), without interest, and shall be payable in the same manner and at such times as provided for in Paragraphs (c)(i)(A) and (c)(i)(B) of this Section 3 with respect to dividends on each outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends in preference to and in priority over dividends upon the Common Stock and any other series or class of the Corporation’s capital stock that ranks junior as to dividends to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Dividend Stock”) and shall be on a parity as to dividends with any series or class of the Corporation s capital stock that does not rank senior or junior as to dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock (“Parity Dividend Stock”). The holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided.

 

(ii)                                  No dividends, other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, Junior Dividend Stock, or warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock or Junior Dividend Stock, shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on, and no

 

8



 

purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made by the Corporation or entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation of, any Common Stock or Junior Dividend Stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been paid.

 

(iii)                               No dividends paid in cash shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any Parity Dividend Stock for any period unless the Corporation has paid or declared and set apart for payment, or contemporaneously pays or declares and sets apart for payment, on the Series A Preferred Stock all accrued and unpaid dividends for all dividend payment periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such dividends.

 

(d)                                 Liquidation.

 

(i)                                     In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $100,000 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, to the payment date.

 

(ii)                                  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (A) shall not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference of the shares held by them until payment in full or provision has been made for the payment of all claims of creditors of the Corporation and the liquidation preference of any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (“Senior Liquidation Stock”),

 

9



 

plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to the payment date, shall have been paid in full and (B) shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference of such shares held by them, plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to the payment date, in preference to and in priority over any distributions upon the Common Stock and any other series or class of the Corporation’s capital stock that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (“Junior Liquidation Stock”). Upon payment in full of the Liquidation Preference plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to the payment date, to which the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. Subject to clause (A) above, if the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to the payment date, payable to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the liquidation preference payable to the holders of any series or class of the Corporation’s capital stock, outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter issued, that ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (“Parity Liquidation Stock”), the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts payable on such shares in any distribution.

(B)           the authorization or creation of, or the increase in the authorized amount of, or the issuance of any shares of any class or series of Senior Liquidation Stock, Parity Liquidation Stock; Senior Dividend Stock or Parity Dividend Stock or any security convertible into shares of any class or series of Senior Liquidation Stock, Parity Liquidation Stock, Senior Dividend Stock or Parity Dividend Stock; or

The Corporation hereby renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunities presented to one or more of its directors or stockholders.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

Section 1.               Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

 

14



 

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

 

Section 2                Indemnification and Insurance.

 

(a)           Right to Indemnification. Each parson who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that,

 

15



 

except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or offices (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director of officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of the Board, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

(b)           Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses inclined in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards

 

16



 

of conduct which make it permissible tinder the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set  forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(c)           Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

(d)           Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

SAGE SYSTEMS, INC.

 

Adopted March 5, 1986 and Amended and Restated March 21, 1995.

 

ARTICLE I
(Offices)

 

The principal office of the Corporation shall be located at: 2135 - 112th Avenue Northeast, Suite 101, Bellevue, Washington 98004.

 

The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Washington, as the Board of Directors (“Board”) may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

 

ARTICLE II
(Shareholders)

 

2.1          Annual Meeting: The Annual Meeting of the Shareholders shall be held the first week of January in each year at the office of the Corporation for the purpose of electing directors and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the Annual Meeting is a legal holiday at the place of the meeting, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. If the election of directors is not held on the day designated for the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the election shall be held at a Special Meeting of the Shareholders as soon thereafter as practicable.

 

2.2          Special Meetings: The President or the Board may call a Special Meeting of the Shareholders for any purpose. At the request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, the President shall call a Special Meeting of the Shareholders.

 

2.3          Place of Meeting: All meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place within or without the State of Washington designated by the Board or by a Waiver of Notice signed by all of the Shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

2.4          Notice of Meeting: The President or Board when calling an Annual or Special Meeting of Shareholders shall cause to be delivered to each Shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting either personally or by mail not less than 10 nor more than 50 days before the meeting written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a Special Meeting, the purpose or purposes of which the meeting is called.

 

2.5          Action by Shareholders without a Meeting: Any action required or permitted to be taken at a Shareholder’s Meeting may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by all Shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof. Any such consent shall be inserted in the Minute Book as if it were the Minutes of a Shareholder’s Meeting.

 



 

2.6          Quorum: A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a Shareholder’s Meeting. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At an adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The Shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

 

2.7          Proxies: At all Shareholder’s Meetings, a Shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the Shareholder or by his Attorney-in-Fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the proxy, a proxy shall be invalid after 11 months from the date of its execution.

 

2.8          Voting of Shares: Each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of Shareholders.

 

2.9          Cumulative Voting: Each Shareholder entitled to vote at an election of directors may vote in person or by proxy the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election he has a right to vote or he may cumulate his votes by distributing among one or more candidates as many votes as are equal to the number of such directors multiplied by the number of his shares.

 

ARTICLE III
(Board of Directors)

 

3.1          General Powers: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by the Board.

 

3.2          Number, Tenure and Qualifications: The number of directors of this Corporation shall be such numbers as determined by the Board of Directors, but not less than three (3), (except where all shares are owned of record by fewer than three (3) shareholders, in which case, the number of directors shall not be less than the number of such shareholders.) No decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Each director shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting until his successor shall have been elected and qualifies unless he resigns or is removed. Directors need not be shareholders of the Corporation.

 

3.3          Regular Meetings: A Regular Board Meeting shall be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. By Resolution, the Board may provide the time and place either within or without the State of Washington for holding additional Regular Meetings without other notice than such Resolution.

 

3.4          Special Meetings: Special Board meetings may be called by or at the request of the President or any two directors. The person or persons authorized to call Special Meetings may fix any place either within or without the State of Washington as the place for holding any Special Board Meeting called by them.

 



 

3.5          Notice: Written Notice of each Special Board Meeting shall be delivered personally, telegraphed, faxed or mailed to each Director at his business address at least two days before the meeting. If such Notice is mailed, it shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail properly addressed, with postage prepaid. If the Notice is telegraphed, it shall be deemed to be delivered when the content of the telegram is delivered to the telegraph office. If the Notice is faxed, it shall be deemed to be delivered when the content of the facsimile transmission is transmitted to said Directors facsimile number on record with the Corporation. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a Waiver of Notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any Regular or Special Meeting of the Board need be specified in the Notice or Waiver of Notice of such meeting.

 

3.6          Quorum: A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any Board meeting but, if less than such majority be present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

 

3.7          Manner of Acting: The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board.

 

3.8          Vacancies: Any vacancy occurring on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by election at an Annual Meeting or at a Special Shareholder’s Meeting called for that purpose.

 

3.9          Removal: At a meeting of Shareholders called expressly for that purpose, one or more members of the Board (including the entire Board) may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote on election of directors. (If less than the entire Board is to be removed, no one director may be removed if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the neuter Board.)

 

3.10        Compensation: By Board Resolution, directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each Board meeting or a fixed sum for attendance at each Board meeting or a stated salary as director or any combination of the foregoing. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

 

3.11        Presumption of Assent: A director of the Corporation present at a Board meeting at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent is entered in the Minutes of the meeting or unless he files his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or unless he forwards such dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. A director who voted in favor of such action may not dissent.

 



 

3.12        Action by Directors without a Meeting: Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action to be taken is signed by each of the directors. Any such written consent shall be inserted in the Minute Book as if it were the Minutes of a Board meeting.

“The shares represented by this Certificate are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation of Sage Systems, Inc., and any amendments thereof, copies of which are on file at the office of the Corporation.”

The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and the date of issue shall be entered on the Stock Transfer Books of the Corporation. All Certificates surrendered to the Corporation for transfer shall be cancelled and no new Certificate shall be issued until the former Certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled, except that in case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated Certificate, a new one may be issued therefore upon such terms and indemnity to the Corporation as the Board may prescribe.

 

6.2          Transfer of Shares: Transfer of Shares of the Corporation shall be made only on the Stock Transfer Books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or his legal representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer, or by his Attorney-in-Fact authorized by Power of Attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, and on surrender for cancellation of the Certificates for such shares. The person in whose name shares stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed by the Corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes.

 

6.3          Share Transfer Restriction: No Shareholder shall sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares in the Corporation, now or hereafter acquired by him, except under the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)            A person (herein called the “proposing transferor”) desiring to transfer any share or shares in the Corporation shall give notice in writing (herein called “transfer notice”) to the Corporation that he desires to transfer the same. The transfer notice shall specify the price, which shall be expressed in lawful money of the United States and the terms of payment upon which the proposing transferor is prepared to transfer the share or shares and shall constitute the Corporation his agent for the sale thereof to any Shareholder or Shareholders of the Corporation at the price and upon the terms of payment so specified. The transfer notice shall also state whether or not the proposing transferor has had an offer to purchase the shares or any of them from, or proposes to sell the shares or any of them to, any particular person or persons who are not Shareholders, and if so the names and addresses of such persons shall be specified in the transfer notice. The transfer notice shall constitute an offer by the proposing transferor to the other Shareholders of the Corporation holding shares of the class or classes included in the transfer notice and shall not be revocable except with the sanction of the directors. If the transfer notice pertains to shares of more than one class then the consideration and terms of payment for each class of shares shall be stated separately in the transfer notice.

 



 

(b)           The directors shall forthwith upon receipt thereof transmit the transfer notice to each of the Shareholders, other than the proposing transferor, holding shares of the class or classes set forth in the transfer notice and request the Shareholder to whom the transfer notice is sent to state in writing within 14 days from the date of the transfer notice whether he is willing to accept any, and if so, the maximum number of shares he is willing to accept at the price and upon the terms specified in the transfer notice. A Shareholder shall only be entitled to purchase shares of the class or classes held by him.

 

(c)           Upon the expiration of the 14-day notice period referred to in Article 6.3 (b), if the directors shall have received from the Shareholders entitled to receive the transfer notice sufficient acceptances to take up the full number of shares offered by the transfer notice and, if the transfer notice includes shares of more than one class, sufficient acceptances from the members of each class to take up the full number of shares of each class offered by the transfer notice, the directors shall thereupon apportion shares so offered among the Shareholders so accepting and so far as may be, pro-rata, according to the number of shares held by each of them respectively, and in the case of more than one class of shares, then pro-rata in respect of each class. If the directors shall not have received sufficient acceptances as aforesaid, they may, but only with consent of the proposing transferor who shall not be obligated to sell to Shareholders in the aggregate less than the total number of shares of one or more classes of shares offered by the transfer notice, apportion the shares so offered among the Shareholders so accepting so far as may be according to the number of shares held by each respectively but only up to the amount accepted by such Shareholders respectively. Upon any such apportionment being made, the proposing transferor shall be bound upon payment of the price to transfer the shares to the respective Shareholders to whom the directors have apportioned same. If, in any case, the proposing transferor, having become so bound fails in transferring any share, the Corporation may receive the purchase money for that share and shall upon receipt cause the name of the purchasing Shareholders to be entered in the register as the holder of the shares and cancel the Certificate of the share held by the proposed transferor, whether the same shall be produced to the Corporation or not, and shall hold such purchase money in trust for the proposing transferor. The receipt of the Corporation for the purchase money shall be a good discharge to the purchasing Shareholders and after his name has been entered in the register the validity of the proceedings shall not be questioned by any person.

 

(d)           In the event that some or all of the shares offered shall not be sold under the preceding Articles within the 14-day period referred to in Article 6.3(b), the proposing transferor shall be at liberty for a period of 90 days after the expiration of that period to transfer such of the shares so offered as are not sold to any person provided that he shall not sell them at a price less than that specified in the transfer notice or on terms more favorable to a purchaser than those specified in the transfer notice.

 

(e)           The provisions as to transfer contained in this Article shall not apply:

 

(i)            if before the proposed transfer of shares is made, the transferor shall obtain consents to the proposed transfer from members of the Corporation, who at the time of the transfer are the registered holders of two-thirds or more of the issued shares of the class to be transferred to the Corporation or if the shares comprise more than one class, then from the registered holders of two-thirds or more of the shares of each class to be transferred and such

 



 

consent shall be taken to be a waiver of the application of the preceding Articles as regards such transfer; or

 

(ii)           to a transfer of shares desired to be made merely for the purpose of effectuating the appointment of a new trustee for the owner hereof, provided that it is proved to the satisfaction of the Board that such is the case.

 

(f)            Nothing herein shall preclude any Shareholder from transferring by gift or devise any shares to spouse or any child or children of the Shareholder.

 

ARTICLE VII
(Fiscal Year)

 

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the calendar year.

 

ARTICLE VIII
(Seal)

 

The Seal of this Corporation shall consist of the name of the Corporation, the State of its incorporation and the year of its incorporation.

 

ARTICLE IX
(Waiver of Notice)

 

Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Shareholder or Director of the Corporation under the provisions of these Bylaws or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or under the provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

 

ARTICLE X
(Indemnification)

 

To the full extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and liabilities, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may obtain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent against any liability arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify

 



 

him against such liability. The Board of Directors may, at any time, approve indemnification under the Washington Business Corporations Act, of any other person which the Corporation has the power to indemnify. The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled as a matter of law or by contract.

 

ARTICLE XI
(Amendments)

 

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board at any Regular or Special Meeting of the Board.

Re:

9.5% Senior Notes due 2016

 

Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Interval Leisure Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ILG”), and Interval Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILG (the “Company”), and the other Guarantors (as defined below) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the public offering of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Exchange Notes”) and related guarantees (the “Exchange Guarantees”) by the entities listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Guarantors”).  The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) in exchange for like principal amounts of the issued and outstanding 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 of the Company (the “Restricted Notes”), together with the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors (the “Restricted Guarantees”), issued under the Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2008, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 20, 2008 (together, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2008, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Noteholders listed on the signature pages thereto.

 

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In rendering this opinion, we have examined and relied upon a signed copy of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the documents and instruments filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement,  records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and the Guarantors and such other agreements, documents, certificates and statements of governmental officials and other instruments as we deemed necessary to render this opinion.  We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity with the original

 



 

documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

 

We have assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon (i) the due formation, existence and good standing of the Company and each Guarantor, (ii) the due authorization, execution and valid delivery of the Indenture, the Restricted Notes, the Restricted Guarantees, the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees by the respective parties thereto, including the Trustee, the Company and each Guarantor, (iii) the legality, validity and binding effect of the Indenture with respect to the Trustee, (iv) the authentication of the Restricted Notes by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture, and the valid delivery of the same, (v) that the Trustee (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture, (c) is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations, and (d) has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture, and (vi) the Indenture shall have become duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

 

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that when the Registration Statement, as finally amended (including any post-effective amendments), becomes effective and when the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees (in the form examined by us) have been executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and have been delivered upon consummation of the Exchange Offer against receipt of Restricted Notes and the Restricted Guarantees surrendered in exchange therefor in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, (i) the Exchange Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and (ii) the Exchange Guarantee of each Guarantor will constitute the valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

 

The opinions expressed herein may be limited by: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding thereof may be brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) by general principles of interpretation and rules of construction of contracts.

 

It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the Exchange Notes while the Registration Statement is in effect.

 

This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof.  Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters.  This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions,

 

2



 

and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.  We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover, and accordingly we express no opinion as to, the application of the securities or blue sky laws of the various states to the sale of the Exchange Notes.

 

This opinion is limited to the state laws of the state of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America (together, the “Opined on Law”). We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the Opined on Law or as to the effect of any such non-opined on law on the opinions herein stated.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the Exchange Notes and the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

 

Very truly yours,

Attn: Mr. Randolph Holder

Facsimile: 212-298-1915
For confirmation call: 212-815-5098

        Delivery of this letter of transmittal to an address other than as set forth above or transmission of this letter of transmittal via facsimile to a number other than as set forth above will not constitute valid delivery.

        The instructions contained herein should be read carefully before this letter of transmittal is completed.

        Do not complete or return this letter of transmittal if your outstanding notes are held in an account with a Broker, Dealer, Commercial Bank Or Trust Company. This letter of transmittal is being supplied for your information only. The institution holding your outstanding notes will supply you with separate instructions regarding the tender of your outstanding notes.

        The undersigned acknowledges that he or she has received the prospectus, dated    •    , 2008 (the "prospectus"), of Interval Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and certain subsidiaries and the parent of the Company (the "Guarantors"), and this letter of transmittal (this "letter"), which together constitute the Company's and the Guarantors' offer (the "exchange offer") to exchange an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 of the Company's 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, including the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors (the "exchange notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for a like principal



amount of the Company's issued and outstanding 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016, including the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors (the "restricted notes"), from the registered holders thereof (the "holders"). In the event of any conflict between this letter and the prospectus, the prospectus shall govern.

        For each restricted note accepted for exchange, the holder of such restricted note will receive an exchange note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered restricted note. The exchange notes will bear interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the restricted notes or, if no interest has been paid on the restricted notes, from August 19, 2008. Accordingly, registered holders of exchange notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 19, 2008. Restricted notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of consummation of the exchange offer. Holders of restricted notes whose restricted notes are accepted for exchange will not receive any payment in respect of accrued interest on such restricted notes otherwise payable on any interest payment date the record date for which occurs on or after consummation of the exchange offer.

        The Company reserves the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend the exchange offer at its discretion, in which event the term "expiration date" shall mean the latest time and date to which the exchange offer is extended. The Company shall notify the holders of the restricted notes of any extension as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof.

        This letter is to be completed by a holder of restricted notes if either (a) a tender of restricted notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account of the exchange agent at The Depository Trust Company (the "book entry transfer facility"), pursuant to the procedures for tender by book-entry transfer set forth in the prospectus under "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Book-Entry Transfers" and an agent's message, as defined below, is not delivered, or (b) certificates for such restricted notes are to be forwarded herewith. Certificates or book-entry confirmation of the transfer of restricted notes into the exchange agent's account at the book-entry transfer facility, as well as this letter, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, and any other documents required by this letter, must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to the expiration date. Tenders by book-entry transfer may also be made by delivering an agent's message in lieu of this letter. The term "agent's message" means a message transmitted to the exchange agent by the book-entry transfer facility which states that the book entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by this letter and that the Company and the Guarantors may enforce this letter against such holder. Holders of restricted notes who are unable to deliver confirmation of the book-entry tender of their restricted notes into the exchange agent's account at the book-entry transfer facility (a "book-entry confirmation") and all other documents required by this letter to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date must tender their restricted notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of the prospectus. See Instruction 1.

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company (which, for purposes hereof, shall be deemed to include the Guarantors) the aggregate principal amount of restricted notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of the restricted notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to such restricted notes as are being tendered hereby.

        The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the exchange agent as the undersigned's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to such tendered restricted notes, with full power of substitution, among other things, to cause the restricted notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the restricted notes, and to acquire exchange notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered restricted notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Company. The undersigned hereby further represents that (i) any exchange notes acquired in exchange for restricted notes tendered hereby will have been acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such exchange notes, whether or not such person is the undersigned, (ii) neither the holder of such restricted notes nor any such other person is participating in, intends to participate in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such exchange notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) neither the holder of such restricted notes nor any such other person is an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Company or any Guarantor or, if it is an "affiliate" it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such holder is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for registrable notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such holder will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such exchange securities, and (v) the undersigned is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

        The undersigned acknowledges that this exchange offer is being made in reliance on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for the restricted notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder that is an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such exchange notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders have no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such exchange notes. However, the SEC has not considered the exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the exchange offer as in other circumstances. If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes and has no arrangement or understanding to participate in a distribution of exchange notes. If any holder is an affiliate of the Company, is engaged in or intends to engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the exchange notes to be acquired pursuant to the exchange offer, such holder (i) could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and (ii) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for restricted notes,

5



it represents that the restricted notes to be exchanged for the exchange notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such exchange notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the restricted notes tendered hereby. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this letter and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights" section of the prospectus.

        Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" below, please credit the account indicated above maintained at the book-entry transfer facility. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" below, please send the exchange notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing restricted notes for any restricted notes not exchanged) to the undersigned at the address shown above in the box entitled "Description of Restricted Notes."

        The undersigned, by completing the box entitled "Description of Restricted Notes" above and signing this letter, will be deemed to have tendered the restricted notes as set forth in such box above.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming part of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer.

1.
Delivery of this letter and notes; Guaranteed delivery procedures.

        A holder of restricted notes may tender the same by (i) properly completing and signing this letter of transmittal or a facsimile thereof (all references in the prospectus to the letter of transmittal shall be deemed to include a facsimile thereof) and delivering the same, together with the certificate or certificates, if applicable, representing the restricted notes being tendered and any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent at its address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, (ii) complying with the procedure for book-entry transfer described below and set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Book-Entry Transfers" section of the prospectus, or (iii) complying with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below and set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Guaranteed Delivery" section of the prospectus. Registered notes tendered hereby must be in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

        The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the restricted notes at The Depositary Trust Company ("DTC"), as the book-entry transfer facility, for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the date of the prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may make book-entry delivery of restricted notes by causing DTC to transfer such restricted notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for such transfer. However, although delivery of restricted notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, an agent's message in connection with book-entry transfer and any other required documents must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth herein on or prior to the expiration date or the guaranteed delivery procedures, described below and in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Guaranteed Delivery" section of the prospectus, must be complied with.

        A holder may tender restricted notes that are held through DTC by transmitting its acceptance through DTC's Automatic Tender Offer Program, for which the transaction will be eligible, and DTC will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an agent's message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. The term "agent's message" means a message transmitted to the exchange agent by DTC which states that the DTC has received an express acknowledgment that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that the Company and the Guarantors may enforce the letter of transmittal against such holder. Delivery of an agent's message will also constitute an acknowledgement from the tendering DTC participant that the representations and warranties set forth in this letter of transmittal are true and correct.

        DELIVERY OF THE AGENT'S MESSAGE BY DTC WILL SATISFY THE TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER AS TO EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY THE PARTICIPANT IDENTIFIED IN THE AGENT'S MESSAGE. DTC PARTICIPANTS MAY ALSO ACCEPT THE EXCHANGE OFFER BY SUBMITTING A NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC TENDER OFFER PROGRAM.

        Holders who cannot deliver required documents to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date, or who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, may tender their restricted notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Guaranteed Delivery" section of the prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures, (a) such tender must be made by or through an eligible institution, (b) the properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery must (i) state that the tender is being made, (ii) set forth the name and address of the holder of the restricted notes being tendered and the amount

9



of the restricted notes being tendered, and (iii) guarantee that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered restricted notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or an agent's message in lieu thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent, and (c) the exchange agent must receive the certificates for the restricted notes, or a book-entry confirmation, and a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or an agent's message in lieu thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this letter of transmittal within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery.

        The method of delivery of certificates for the restricted notes, this letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and sole risk. If delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. Delivery is complete when the exchange agent actually receives the items to be delivered. Delivery of documents to DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. Do not send letters of transmittal, certificates representing restricted notes or other documents to the Company or any Guarantor.

        See "The Exchange Offer" section of the prospectus.

2.
Signatures on this letter; Bond powers and endorsements; Guarantee of signatures.

        If any tendered restricted notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all of such owners must sign this letter.

        When this letter is signed by the registered holder or holders of the restricted notes specified herein and tendered hereby, no separate bond powers are required. If, however, the exchange notes are to be issued to a person other than the registered holder, then separate bond powers are required.

        If this letter or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Company, proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted.

        Signatures on bond powers required by this Instruction 2 must be guaranteed by a firm that is a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (each an "eligible institution").

        Signatures on this letter need not be guaranteed by an eligible institution, provided the restricted notes are tendered (i) by a registered holder of restricted notes (which term, for purposes of the exchange offer, includes any participant in the book-entry transfer facility system whose name appears on a security position listing as the holder of such restricted notes) who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on this letter or (ii) for the account of an eligible institution.

3.
Special issuance and delivery instructions.

        Tendering holders of restricted notes should indicate in the applicable box the name and address to which exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer are to be sent, if different from the name or address of the person signing this letter. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification or social security number of the person named must also be indicated. Holders

10



tendering restricted notes by book-entry transfer may request that restricted notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the book-entry transfer facility as such noteholder may designate hereon. If no such instructions are given, such restricted notes not exchanged will be returned to the name and address of the person signing this letter.

4.
Transfer taxes.

        The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer of restricted notes to it or its order pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, exchange notes and/or substitute restricted notes not exchanged are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the restricted notes tendered hereby, or if tendered restricted notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this letter, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer of restricted notes to the Company or its order pursuant to the exchange offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. Exchange notes will not be issued unless satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is established by the registered holder.

5.
Waiver of conditions.

        The Company reserves the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the prospectus.

6.
No conditional tenders.

        No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders of restricted notes, by execution of this letter, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their restricted notes for exchange.

        Neither the Company, the exchange agent nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of restricted notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

7.
Partial tenders; Withdrawal rights.

        If less than all of the restricted notes evidenced by a submitted certificate are to be tendered, the tendering holder(s) should fill in the aggregate principal amount of restricted notes tendered in the box entitled "Description of Restricted Notes—Principal Amount Tendered." A newly issued certificate for the restricted notes submitted but not tendered will be sent to such holder as soon as practicable after the expiration date. All restricted notes delivered to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise clearly indicated.

        Tenders of restricted notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

        For a withdrawal of a tender of restricted notes to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at the address set forth above prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Any such notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person having tendered the restricted notes to be withdrawn (the "depositor"), (ii) identify the restricted notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amount of such restricted notes), and (iii) where certificates for restricted notes are transmitted, identify the name of the registered holder of the restricted notes, if different from that of the person withdrawing the restricted notes. If you delivered or otherwise identified certificated restricted notes to the exchange agent, you must submit the serial numbers of the restricted notes to be withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution, except in the case of restricted notes tendered for the account of an eligible institution. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—Signature Guarantees"

11



for further information on the requirements for guarantees of signatures on notices of withdrawal. If you tendered restricted notes in accordance with applicable book-entry transfer procedures, the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn restricted notes and you must deliver the notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent. You may not rescind withdrawals of tender; however, restricted notes properly withdrawn may again be tendered at any time on or prior to the expiration date in accordance with the procedures described under "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes."

        The Company will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, all questions regarding the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal. Its determination of these questions as well as its interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including this letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. None of the Company and the Guarantors, any of their respective affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent or any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will any of them be liable for failing to give any such notice.

        Withdrawn restricted notes will be returned to the holder as promptly as practicable after withdrawal without cost to the holder. In the case of restricted notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, the restricted notes withdrawn will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.

8.
Mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed restricted notes.

        Any holder whose restricted notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the exchange agent at the address set forth herein for further instructions.

9.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

        TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY FEDERAL TAX ADVICE CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) THE ADVICE IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTION OR THE MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) THE TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THE TAXPAYER'S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

        To prevent backup withholding on interest payments on the notes, each U.S. Holder (as defined below) should either (x) provide his, her or its correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") by completing the copy of the substitute IRS Form W-9 attached to this letter of transmittal, certifying that (1) he, she or it is a "United States person" (as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), (2) the TIN provided is correct (or that such U.S. Holder is awaiting a TIN) and (3) that the U.S. Holder is exempt from backup withholding because (i) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (ii) the IRS has notified the U.S. Holder that he, she or it is no longer subject to backup withholding or (y) otherwise establish an exemption. If you do not provide a completed Substitute Form W-9 to the withholding agent, backup withholding may begin and continue until you furnish your TIN. If you do not provide the withholding agent with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for exemption, you may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS, and payments may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% (until 2010, at which time the rate is currently scheduled to be 31%). If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

        To prevent backup withholding, a Non-U.S. Holder should (i) submit a properly completed IRS Form W-8 BEN or other Form W-8 to the exchange agent, certifying under penalties of perjury to the holder's foreign status or (ii) otherwise establish an exemption. IRS Forms W-8 may be obtained on the web at www.irs.gov.

        Certain holders (including, among others, corporations) are exempt recipients generally not subject to these backup withholding requirements. See the enclosed copy of the IRS Substitute Form W-9 and Guidelines for Request for Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9. To avoid possible erroneous backup withholding, exempt U.S. Holders, while not required to file Substitute Form W-9, should complete and return the Substitute Form W-9 and check the "Exempt" box on its face.

        For the purposes of these instructions, a "U.S. Holder" is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident alien of the United States, (ii) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) created under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. Holders that are, or hold notes through, partnerships and other pass-through entities should consult their tax advisors regarding their treatment for purposes of these instructions. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is any holder (other than a holder that is, or holds its shares through, a partnership or other pass-through entity) that is not a U.S. Holder.

        If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes) is a holder of a note, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners and partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular federal income tax consequences applicable to them.

        See the enclosed Guidelines for Request for Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for additional information and instructions.

        For federal tax purposes you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

        An individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

        A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, or

        Any estate (other than a foreign estate) or trust. See Regulations sections 301.7701-6(a) and 7(a) for additional information.

        Partners and partnerships must consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to them.

         Foreign person.    If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien.

        Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a "saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the recipient has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

    1.
    The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

    2.
    The treaty article addressing the income.

    3.
    The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

    4.
    The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

    5.
    Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

         Example.    Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

        If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

         What is backup withholding?    Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments (after December 31, 2002). This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

        You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

    1.
    You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, or

    2.
    You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions below for details), or

    3.
    The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, or

    4.
    The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

    5.
    You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

        Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

Penalties

         Failure to furnish TIN.    If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

         Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding.    If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

         Criminal penalty for falsifying information.    Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

         Misuse of TINs.    If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Name

        If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your social security card. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name. If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form.

         Sole proprietor.    Enter your individual name as shown on your social security card on the "Name" line. You may enter your business, trade, or "doing business as (DBA)" name on the "Business name" line.

16


         Limited liability company (LLC).    If you are a single-member LLC (including a foreign LLC with a domestic owner) that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Treasury regulations section 301.7701-3, enter the owner's name on the "Name" line. Enter the LLC's name on the "Business name" line. Check the appropriate box for your filing status (sole proprietor, corporation, etc.), then check the box for "Other" and enter "LLC" in the space provided.

         Other entities.    Enter your business name as shown on required Federal tax documents on the "Name" line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the "Business name" line.

Note:    Check the appropriate box for your status (individual/sole proprietor, corporation, etc.).

Exempt From Backup Withholding

        If you are exempt, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the "Exempt" box under the taxpayer identification number and sign and date the form.

        Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.

Note:    If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.

         Exempt payees.    Backup withholding is not required on any payments made to the following payees:

    1.
    An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), any IRA, or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account satisfies the requirements of section 401(f)(2),

(2)
However, the following payments made to a corporation (including gross proceeds paid to an attorney under section 6045(f), even if the attorney is a corporation) and reportable on Form 1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: medical and health care payments, attorneys' fees; and payments for services paid by a federal executive agency.

Part I.    Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

         Enter your TIN in the appropriate box.    If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

        If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

        If you are a single-owner LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter your SSN (or EIN, if you have one). If the LLC is a corporation, partnership, etc., enter the entity's EIN.

Note.    See the chart below for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

         How to get a TIN.    If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.pdf. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses/ and clicking on Employer ID Numbers under Related Topics. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

        If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, fill out the box entitled "CERTIFICATE OF AWAITING TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER."

Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II.    Certification

        To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9.

        For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). Exempt recipients, see Exempt From Backup Withholding above.

18


         Signature requirements.    Complete the certification as indicated in 1 through 4 below.

1.
Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983.    You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

2.
Real estate transactions.    You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

3.
Other payments.    You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. "Other payments" include payments made in the course of the requester's trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

Privacy Act Notice

        Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA, or Archer MSA or HSA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws. We may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.

        You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
