name of and on behalf of Secure, on the one hand, and in the name of and on

ARTICLE
II
REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The
following representations and warranties by Ultimate Resort and the Company are
qualified by those disclosures and exceptions set forth in the Company
disclosure schedule (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”).
The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding
to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in
this Section 2;
provided, that if any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule
discloses an item or information in such a way as to make its relevance to the
disclosure required on another section or subsection of the Company Disclosure
Schedule reasonably apparent, then the applicable item or information will be
deemed to have been also disclosed in such other section or subsection of the
Company Disclosure Schedule. From the date hereof through the Effective Time,
Ultimate Resort and the Company hereby make the representations and warranties
set forth below to Secure with respect to the Company on the basis that the
Company Transactions have been consummated.
2.1 Due Organization and Good
Standing.
(a) Each
of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company listed on Section 2.1 of the Company
Disclosure Schedule (each a “Company Subsidiary” and
collectively, the “Company
Subsidiaries”) is a corporation, limited liability company or other
entity, duly incorporated, formed, or organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, formation, or
organization and has all requisite corporate, limited liability, or other
organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate its respective
properties and to carry on its respective business as now being conducted. Each
of the Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed and in
good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the
property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted
by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure
to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has
heretofore made available to Secure accurate and complete copies of the
Company’s certificate of formation and Operating Agreement, as amended to date
and as currently in effect (the “Company Organization
Documents”) and the equivalent organizational documents of each of the
Company Subsidiaries, each as amended to date and as currently in effect (the
“Company Subsidiary
Organization Documents”). None of the Company or any Company Subsidiary
is in violation of any Company Organization Document or Company Subsidiary
Organization Document, as the case may be.
3
(b) To
the knowledge of the Company, the minute books of the Company and each Company
Subsidiary contain true, complete and accurate records of all meetings and
consents in lieu of meetings of its respective board of directors or managers,
if applicable (and any committees thereof), similar governing bodies and Members
(“Corporate
Records”). Copies of all such Corporate Records of the Company
have been heretofore made available to Secure or Secure’s counsel.
(c) The
transfer and ownership records of the Company contain true, complete and
accurate records of the securities ownership as of the date of such records and
the transfers involving the membership interests of the Company (the “Membership Interests”) and
other securities of the Company. Copies of all such records of the
Company have been heretofore made available to Secure or Secure’s
counsel.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Material Adverse
Effect” shall mean any change or effect that, individually or in the
aggregate, has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse
effect upon the assets, liabilities, business, financial condition or operating
results of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except
any changes or effects after the date hereof directly or indirectly attributable
to (i) general political, economic, financial, capital market or industry-wide
conditions (except to the extent that the Company is affected in a
disproportionate manner relative to other companies in the industries in which
the Company and the Company Subsidiaries conduct business), (ii) the
announcement of the execution of this Agreement, or the pendency of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any
condition described in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (iv) any change in GAAP
or interpretation thereof after the date hereof, (v) the execution by the
Company and performance of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement,
(vi) any failure to meet any financial or other projections, or (vii) any breach
by Secure of this Agreement.
2.2 Title to Securities;
Capitalization. i) The Members collectively hold of
record and own all of the Membership Interests, and such Membership Interests
are held free and clear of any restrictions on transfer, Encumbrances (other
than as disclosed on Section 2.2(a) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, any restriction under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state
“blue sky” securities Laws), Taxes, warrants, purchase rights, contracts,
assignments, commitments, equities, claims and demands. No Member is a party to
any option, warrant, purchase right, or other contract or commitment that could
require such Member to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of his Membership
Interest, other than this Agreement. Other than as disclosed on Section 2.2(a) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, no Member is a party to any voting trust,
proxy, or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of his
Membership Interest, other than this Agreement. The Membership Interests held by
the Members are not subject to preemptive rights, conversion price adjustment
rights or rights of first refusal created by any agreement to which any Member
is a party.
4
(b) Except
as disclosed on Section 2.2(b) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, and except for the Membership Interests held
by the Members, no membership or other equity or voting interest of the Company,
or options, warrants or other rights to acquire any such membership or other
equity or voting interest, of the Company is issued and outstanding. The
Membership Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and were not issued in material violation of any applicable
foreign, federal or state securities Laws or the Company Organization Documents.
The Company has not entered into any other agreements or commitments to issue
any membership interests and has not split, combined or reclassified the
Membership Interests.
(c) Except
as otherwise described on Section 2.2(c) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company directly or indirectly owns all
of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Company Subsidiaries.
There are no (i) outstanding options, warrants, puts, calls, convertible
securities, preemptive or similar rights, (ii) bonds, debentures, notes or other
Indebtedness having general voting rights or that are convertible or
exchangeable into securities having such rights, or (iii) subscriptions or other
rights, agreements, arrangements, contracts or commitments of any character,
relating to the issued or unissued membership interests of, or other equity
interests in, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or obligating the
Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to issue, transfer, deliver or sell
or cause to be issued, transferred, delivered, sold or repurchased any options
or membership interests of, or other equity interest in, the Company or any of
the Company Subsidiaries or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such
shares or equity interests, or obligating any of the Company Subsidiaries to
grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, subscription or
other right, agreement, arrangement or commitment for such equity interest.
There are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries
to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any membership interests, capital
stock of, or other equity interests in, the Company or any of the Company
Subsidiaries or to provide funds to make any investment (in the form of a loan,
capital contribution or otherwise) in any other entity.
(d) Other
than as set forth on Section 2.2(d) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no stockholders or members
agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the
Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party with respect to the voting of the
Membership Interests or the capital stock or equity interests of any Company
Subsidiary.
(e) Section 2.2(e) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule lists all of the Company’s
Indebtedness. As used in this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (A) all
indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property
or services (other than Expenses and current trade liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business and payable in accordance with customary practices),
(B) any other indebtedness that is evidenced by a note, bond, debenture, credit
agreement or similar instrument, (C) all obligations under financing leases, (D)
all obligations in respect of acceptances issued or created, (E) all liabilities
secured by an Encumbrance on any property and (F) all guarantee

destination clubs.

property located outside the United States, such other similar form of title as
may be described in the title policy for such parcel) by the Company or any of
the Company Subsidiaries (including all land, easements, development rights and
other rights and interests appurtenant thereto including interests in buildings,

the knowledge of the Company, each Lease is binding, enforceable, in full force
and effect and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received
written notice or otherwise have knowledge that they are in default or in breach
under such Lease except for such defaults as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect. To the knowledge of the Company no event or
omission, which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
comprise a default, except for such defaults as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, no landlord, sublandlord,
licensor or other Person that is a party to any Lease (other than Company or a
Company Subsidiary) is in default in respect of its obligations under such Lease
and no event or omission has occurred, which, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both, would cause any such Person to be in default in a
material respect of its obligations under such Lease. Neither the
Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries have received written notice of any
claimed abatements, offsets, defenses or other bases for relief or adjustment
under any of the Leases. The transactions contemplated by this
Agreement do not require the consent of any Person or party to any Lease (or any
consent the absence of which would not cause a Company Material Adverse Effect),
and will not result in a breach of or default under such Lease, or otherwise
cause such Lease to cease to be legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full
force and effect following the Closing. No security deposit or
portion thereof deposited with respect to any Lease has been applied in respect
of a breach or default under which Lease which has not been redeposited in full
by Company or any Company Subsidiary. Except as may be disclosed in a
Lease, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries do not owe, nor will they owe in
the future, any brokerage commissions or finder’s fees with respect to such
Lease which is not paid. No party to any Lease (except where such
party is the Company or a Company Subsidiary) has an economic interest in the
Company or a Company Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any Company
Subsidiary has (i) assigned, subleased, licensed or otherwise granted any Person
(except where such Person is the Company or a Company Subsidiary) the right to
use or occupy such Leased Real Property or any portion thereof, or (ii)
collaterally assigned or granted any other security interest in any Lease or any
interest therein.
19

respect to the Real Property, as applicable: (i) other than any of
the rights that the members in the Company’s destination clubs may hold, which
are set forth on Section 2.19(g) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company or the Company
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, have good and marketable fee simple interest
in the Real Property and a valid leasehold interest in the Leased Real Property,
free and clear of any use or occupancy restrictions, Liens, encumbrances, and
easements or title defects, except as set forth in the Company Financials or on
any existing title insurance policy, deed, or survey, that have had or could
have a Company Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s, or any of its Company
Subsidiaries’, as the case may be, use and occupancy of the Real Property; and
(ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received written
notice (A) of any condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding affecting
any portion of the Real Property or any access thereto or of any sale or other
disposition of the Real Property or any part thereof in lieu of condemnation or
of any possible widening of streets abutting all or any portion of the Real
Property, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such proceedings are
contemplated, (B) of the imposition of any special taxes or assessments by a
governmental authority, or payments in lieu thereof, against all or any portion
of the Real Property, or any pending improvement liens to be made by any
governmental authority which may affect any Real Property, (C) from or on behalf
of any existing insurance carriers indicating that the insurance rates for all
or any portion of any of the Real Property will be substantially increased or
that alterations of any Real Property are required, and (D) the curtailment of
any utility service supplied to any Real Property.
(h) Prior
to the date hereof, the Company has furnished or made available to Secure or its
representatives true and correct copies of all deeds, mortgages, surveys,
licenses, leases, title insurance policies and permanent certificates of
occupancy (or documents equivalent to certificates of occupancy in the
jurisdiction where the Real Property is located) with respect to the Real
Property that are in the possession of Company or the Company
Subsidiaries.
(i) Neither
the Company nor the Company Subsidiaries have received written notice of, and to
the knowledge of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries there are no,
outstanding claims made by or against the Company or any applicable Company
Subsidiary with respect to title or ownership of the Owned Real
Property.
(j) Neither
the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries is obligated under or a party
to, and none of the Owned Real Property is subject to, any option, right of
first refusal, right of first offer or other obligation to sell, transfer,
dispose of, grant any interest in or lease any of the Owned Real Property or any
portion thereof or interest therein to any Person other than (x) the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries or (y) such leases, subleases, licenses, concessions or
other agreements entered into by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business (the documents described in this clause (y), the
“Owned Real Property
Leases”), which Owned Real Property Leases are described on Section 2.19(j) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule attached hereto and made a part
hereof. The Owned Real Property Leases are in full force and effect
and neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries have received
written notice or otherwise have knowledge that they are in default or in breach
under any such Lease except for such defaults as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect. To the knowledge of the Company no event or omission under
any Owned Real Property Lease, which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice or both, would cause a default except for such defaults as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of the Company
Subsidiaries have received written notice of any claimed abatements, offsets,
defenses or other bases for relief or adjustment under any Owned Real Property
Lease.
20
(k) To
the knowledge of the Company, there are no facts or conditions affecting any of

but not limited to, the buildings, structures, fixtures, roofs and structural
elements thereof and the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing,
electrical, elevator mechanical, sewer, waste water, storm water, paving and
parking equipment, systems and facilities included therein) (the “Improvements”), except for
such Improvements that are in the process of being developed or constructed
(which, upon substantial completion, shall be adequate for the purposes for
which they are intended to be used in the ordinary course of business), which
would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect.
(l) There
are no Construction Contracts with amounts payable as of June 30, 2009 that
equal or exceed $1,000,000. As used herein, a “Construction Contract” shall
mean each development agreement, master architectural contract or general

a party with respect to any present or contemplated construction by the Company
or any Company Subsidiary for which no certificate of occupancy has been
obtained. To the Company's knowledge, it has not received written
notice that it or any other party thereto, is presently in default and there are
no facts or circumstances which, with or without the passage of time or both,
would result in a breach of any of the terms thereof by it or any such other
party, except for such defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 SEC Filings and Secure
Financial Statements.
(a) Secure
has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required
to be filed or furnished by Secure with the SEC since October 23, 2007 under the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act, together with any amendments, restatements
or supplements thereto, and will file all such forms, reports, schedules,
statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the date of
this Agreement (the “Additional
Secure SEC Reports”). Secure has delivered to the Company copies in the
form filed with the SEC of all of the following, except to the extent available
in full without redaction on the SEC’s website through XXXXX for at least two
(2) days prior to the date of this Agreement: (i) Secure’s Annual Reports on
Form 10-K for each fiscal year of Secure beginning with the first year Secure
was required to file such a form, (ii) Secure’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for each fiscal quarter that Secure was required to file a Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q in each of the fiscal years of Secure referred to in clause (i) above,
(iii) all proxy statements relating to Secure’s meetings of stockholders
(whether annual or special) held, and all information statements relating to
stockholder consents, since the beginning of the first fiscal year referred to
in clause (i) above, (iv) its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since the
beginning of the first fiscal year referred to in clause (i) above, (v) all
other forms, reports, registration statements and other documents (other than
preliminary materials if the corresponding definitive materials have been
provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.6) filed by
Secure with the SEC since the beginning of the first fiscal year referred to in
clause (i) above (the forms, reports, registration statements and other
documents referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, whether
or not available through XXXXX, are, collectively, the “Secure SEC Reports”) and (vi)
all certifications and statements required by (x) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under
the Exchange Act, or (y) 18 U. S. C. §1350 (Section 906) of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act of 2002 with respect to any report referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above
(collectively, the “Certifications”). The Secure
SEC Reports were, and the Additional Secure SEC Reports will be, prepared in all
material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The Secure SEC Reports did not, and the Additional Secure SEC Reports will not,
at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC (except to
the extent that information contained in any Secure SEC Report or Additional
Secure SEC Report has been or is revised or superseded by a later filed Secure
SEC Report or Additional Secure SEC Report) contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are
each true and correct. Secure maintains disclosure controls and procedures
required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act; such controls
and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information concerning
Secure is made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the
preparation of Secure’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure
documents. Each director and executive officer of Secure has filed with the SEC
on a timely basis all statements required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder since the date of Secure’s formation.
As used in this Section 3.6(a), the
term “file” shall be
broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is
furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.
28
(b) The
financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the
Secure SEC Reports or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional Secure
SEC Reports (“Secure
Financials”) fairly present, or will fairly present at the time of
filing, as the case may be, the financial condition and the results of
operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow of Secure as at the
respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial
statements, all in accordance with (i) GAAP and (ii) Regulation S-X or
Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial
statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will
not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse) and the omission
of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as
applicable. Secure has designed and maintains a system of internal controls over
financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act, sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with GAAP. No financial statements other than those of
Secure are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial
statements of Secure. The Secure SEC Reports contain a description of all
non-audit services performed by Secure’s auditors for Secure since the date of
Secure’s formation and the fees paid for such services; further, all such
non-audit services were approved by the audit committee of Secure’s board of
directors (the “Secure
Board”). Secure has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
(c) Neither
Secure nor any manager, director, officer or employee of Secure has received any
written complaint, allegation, assertion or claim from any Governmental
Authority regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures,
methodologies or methods of Secure or its internal accounting controls,
including any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Secure has engaged
in questionable accounting or auditing practices. No attorney representing
Secure, whether or not employed by Secure has reported evidence of any violation
of consumer protection, insurance or securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty
or similar violation by Secure or any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents to the Secure Board or any committee thereof or to any director or
executive officer of Secure.
3.7 Absence of Undisclosed
Liabilities. Except as and to the extent reflected or reserved
against in the Secure Financials, to the knowledge of Secure, Secure has not
incurred any liabilities or obligations of the type required to be reflected on
a balance sheet in accordance with GAAP that is not adequately reflected or
reserved on or provided for in the Secure Financials, other than liabilities of
the type required to be reflected on a balance sheet in accordance with GAAP
that have been incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice.
3.8 Information
Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied
by Secure expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy
Statement will, at the time of filing with the SEC and at the time it becomes
effective, and at the time of mailing of the Proxy Statement and at the time of
the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not misleading. The definitive Proxy Statement will, as of the mailing
date and as of the date of the Special Meeting, comply as to form in all
material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by
Secure in writing expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any
of the Ancillary Public Disclosures will, at the time filed with the SEC,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secure makes no representation,
warranty or covenant with respect to any information supplied by the Company or
the Members expressly for inclusion which is contained in the Proxy Statement or
any Ancillary Public Disclosures.

7.2 and in Section 7.3 and
Article VIII. Without limiting the foregoing, Section 4.2(b), this
Section 7.2,
Section 7.3,
Article VIII and Section 9.4 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
7.3 Fees and
Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
including without limitation Section 5.5(d), all
Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be paid by Secure, unless such transactions have been
terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, in which
case the Expenses shall be paid by the Party incurring such Expenses. As used in
this Agreement, “Expenses” shall include all
out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants,
investment bankers, financing sources, experts and consultants to a Party hereto
and its affiliates) incurred by a Party or on its behalf in connection with or
related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance
of this Agreement or any ancillary agreement related hereto, the preparation,
and filing of the Proxy Statement, the solicitation of the Required Secure Vote
and all other matters related to the consummation of the transactions

7.4 Amendment. This
Agreement may only be amended pursuant to a written agreement signed by each of
the Parties hereto.
7.5 Waiver. At
any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, any Party
hereto may in its sole discretion (i) extend the time for the performance of any
obligation or other act of any other non-affiliated Party hereto, (ii) waive any
inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such other non-affiliated
Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii)
waive compliance by such other non-affiliated Party with any agreement or
condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound
thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or
Secure in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise of any other right hereunder.
ARTICLE

TRUST FUND
WAIVER
8.1 Trust Fund
Waiver. The parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions
of this Section
8.1 shall only apply in the event that the Closing does not occur as
contemplated herein.
(a) The
Company, Ultimate Resort and the Member Representative each acknowledge that
Secure is a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more
businesses or assets (an “Initial Business
Combination”). The Company and the Member Representative each further
acknowledges that Secure’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of the IPO
and private placements of its securities, in each case, consummated on October
29, 2007, and that substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in
the Trust Fund for the benefit of Secure, certain of its public stockholders and
the underwriters of the IPO. The monies in the Trust Fund may be disbursed only
(i) to Secure in limited amounts from time to time, as set forth in the
prospectus relating to the IPO, in order to permit Secure to pay its operating
expenses; (ii) if Secure completes the transactions contemplated hereunder,
which constitutes an Initial Business Combination, then to certain Persons and
in certain amounts; and (iii) if Secure fails to complete an Initial Business
Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms
of the agreement governing the Trust Fund, to Secure in limited amounts to
permit Secure to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution,
and then to Secure’s public stockholders (as such term is defined in the
agreement governing the Trust Fund). For and in consideration of Secure’s
entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Company and the Member Representative, on behalf of his, her
or itself and any of their respective managers, directors, officers, affiliates,
members, shareholders, trustees or subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waive any
right, title, interest or claim of any kind (any “Claim”) they have or may have
in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Fund and agree not to seek
recourse against Secure’s directors or officers, the Trust Fund or any funds
distributed therefrom, as a result of, or arising out of, any Claims against
Secure arising under this Agreement and the other transactions and transaction
documents contemplated thereunder.
56
(b) In
the event the Company or the Member Representative commence any action or
proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any
matter relating to Secure, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief
against the Trust Fund and/or its assets or the Secure’s public stockholders,
whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party the associated legal
fees and costs in connection with any such action.

9.3 Binding Effect;
Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be
assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of
the other Parties, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and
void; provided
that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations
hereunder.
9.4 Governing Law;
Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed
and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard
to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any
state or federal court located in Delaware. The Parties hereto hereby (A) submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware state or federal court for the
purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by
any Party hereto and (B) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of
motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not
subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its
property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or
that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced
in or by any of the above-named courts. Secure and the Company agree that a
final judgment in any Action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by Law. Secure and the Company irrevocably consents to the service of
the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action or
proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on
behalf of itself or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process
to such Party. Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall
affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by Law.
58
9.5 Waiver of Jury
Trial. Each of the Parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with
respect to any Action directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of
the Parties hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of
any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party
would not, in the event of any Action, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and
(ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties hereto have been induced to
enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section
9.5.
9.6 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other
electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different
Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be
deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.
9.7 Interpretation. The
article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the
purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not
in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. As used in
this Agreement, (i) the term “Person” shall mean and include
an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited
liability company, a trust, an association, an unincorporated organization, a
Governmental Authority and any other entity, (ii) unless otherwise specified
herein, the term “affiliate,” with respect to
any Person, shall mean and include any Person, directly or indirectly, through
one or more intermediaries controlling, controlled by or under common control
with such Person, (iii) the term “subsidiary” of any specified
Person shall mean any corporation a majority of the outstanding voting power of
which, or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other
entity a majority of the total equity interests of which, is directly or
indirectly (either alone or through or together with any other subsidiary) owned
by such specified Person, (iv) the term “knowledge,” when used with
respect to the Company or Ultimate Resort, shall mean the actual knowledge after
reasonable inquiry of the Key Employees, and, when used with respect to Secure,
shall mean the actual knowledge of C. Xxxxxx XxXxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx after
reasonable inquiry, and (v) the term “Business Day” means any day on
which the principal offices of the SEC in Washington, D.C. are open to accept
filings, or, in the case of determining a date when any payment is due, any day
on which banks are not required or authorized to close in the State of Delaware.
Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without
limitation”. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and “hereunder” and words of
similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The Parties have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.
Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this
Agreement.
59
9.8 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments
referred to herein, including any exhibits attached hereto and the Disclosure
Schedules referred to herein (and including without limitation the
Indemnification and Escrow Agreement), which exhibits and Disclosure Schedules
are incorporated herein by reference and the Confidentiality Agreement embody
the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises,
representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those
expressly set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement and such other
agreements supersede all prior agreements and the understandings among the
Parties with respect to such subject matter.
9.9 Severability. In
case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as
to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same
valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be
affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any
term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the
Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereunder be
consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent
possible.
9.10 Specific
Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage
would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed by the Company or Secure in accordance with their specific terms or
were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties further agree that prior to
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, each
Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which
such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in
equity.
9.11 Third
Parties. Except for the rights of the Indemnitees (as such
term is defined in the Indemnification and Escrow Agreement) and the Members set
forth in the Indemnification and Escrow Agreement, nothing contained in this
Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be
deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party
hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a
Party.
