   VIA CERTIFIED MAIL

   RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   Trendwest Resorts, Inc.

   Attn: Duke Campbell, Branch Manager

   335 Cochrane Circle

   Morgan Hill, CA 95037-2831

   RE: File No. EB-07-TC-12830

   Dear Mr. Campbell:

   This is an official CITATION, issued pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), 47 U.S.C. S: 503(b)(5),
   for violations of the Act and the Federal Communications Commission's
   rules that govern telephone solicitations and unsolicited advertisements.
   As explained below, you may appeal this citation. In addition, future
   violations of the Act or Commission's rules in this regard may subject you
   and your company to monetary forfeitures.

   Attached are consumer complaints regarding telemarketing calls that your
   company or an entity acting on behalf of your company, acting under your
   direction, made to residential telephone lines despite previous
   do-not-call requests by members of the households. These complaints
   indicate that you and your company have violated the Commission's
   requirements regarding telemarketing calls in 47 C.F.R. S: 64.1200(d).

   Section 64.1200(d) of the Commission's rules requires entities that make
   telemarketing calls to residential telephone subscribers to follow certain
   procedures to ensure that the subscribers are able to stop such calls.
   Specifically, entities that make telemarketing calls must (1) develop
   written policies for maintaining a do-not-call list and make such written
   policies available upon demand; (2) inform and train their personnel
   engaged in any aspect of telemarketing about the existence and use of the
   do-not-call list; (3) place consumers who request not to receive
   telemarketing calls on the do-not-call list; and (4) honor each
   do-not-call request within a reasonable time from the date of the request,
   which may not exceed thirty (30) days, for five years from the time the
   request is made. In addition, the Commission has found that it is unlawful
   to call a residential telephone line to deliver a telemarketing call if
   any member of the household has made a do-not-call request.

   Under the Act and the Commission's rules, a "telemarketing" call is "the
   initiation of a telephone call or message for the purpose of encouraging
   the purchase or rental of, or investment in, property, goods, or services,
   which is transmitted to any person."

   If, after receipt of this citation, you or your company violate the
   Communications Act or the Commission's rules in any manner described
   herein, the Commission may impose monetary forfeitures not to exceed
   $11,000 for each such violation or each day of a continuing violation.

   You may respond to this citation within 30 days from the date of this
   letter either through (1) a personal interview at the Commission's Field
   Office nearest to your place of business, or (2) a written statement. You
   may use this response to appeal this citation. For example, you may claim
   that you can document that you had an established business relationship
   with the called party at the time of the call or that you are a tax-exempt
   nonprofit organization. In addition, your response should specify the
   actions that you are taking to ensure that you do not violate the
   Commission's rules governing prerecorded messages, as described above.

   You may schedule a personal interview at the nearest Commission field
   office. These offices are located in: Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Chicago,
   IL; Columbia, MD; Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Detroit, MI; Kansas City, MO;
   Los Angeles, CA; New Orleans, LA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; San
   Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; Seattle, WA; and Tampa, FL. Please call Al
   McCloud at 202-418-2499 if you wish to schedule a personal interview. You
   should schedule any interview to take place within 30 days of the date of
   this letter. You should send any written statement within 30 days of the
   date of this letter to:

   47 U.S.C. S: 227; 47 C.F.R. S: 64.1200. A copy of these provisions is
   enclosed for your convenience. Section 227 was added to the Communications
   Act by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 and is most commonly
   known as the TCPA. The TCPA and the Commission's parallel rules restrict a
   variety of practices that are associated with telephone solicitation and
   use of the telephone network to deliver unsolicited advertisements,
   including prerecorded messages to residential telephone lines. We refer in
   this citation to the Commission's rules as they existed at the time of the
   violations in this matter. Revised rules in this area took effect on
   August 1, 2006.
