A. Paragraph 7 of the Management Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and shall be replaced with the following new paragraph 7:
7. Compensation to Manager. As compensation for Manager's
services hereunder, Manager is entitled to retain for its own
account during each calendar year during the term of this
Agreement an amount equal to the lesser of (a) fifteen percent
(15%) of the Gross Revenues (as defined hereinbelow) for the
year or (b) the amount by which the Gross Revenues for the
year exceed the total of (i) all accrued expenses of any kind
whatsoever ("Expenses") incurred by the Resorts during the
year (exclusive of any fees paid or payable to the Silverleaf
Club by the Resorts) and incurred by the Silverleaf Club
during the year in performing its duties and obligations under
the Silverleaf Club Agreement and (ii) the total of all unpaid
Shortfalls for any preceding years commencing after December
31, 1992 (as defined hereinbelow). As used herein, the term
"Expenses" shall include the total amount of all funds
collected from members at the Clubs and set aside in a special
account by Silverleaf Club to be used solely for the
refurbishment and replacement of buildings and amenities at
the Resorts. If in any year commencing after December 31,
1992, the compensation paid to Manager pursuant to this
Agreement (exclusive of any amounts for prior Shortfalls) does
not equal fifteen percent (15%) of the Gross Revenues for the
year then an additional amount equal to the difference between
(x) 15% of the Gross Revenues for such year and (y) the amount
of compensation actually paid to Manager (exclusive of any
amounts for prior Shortfalls) for such year (the "Shortfall")
shall be payable to Manager in any subsequent year or years in
which the Gross Revenues for such year or years are more than
sufficient to pay all Expenses and all prior unpaid
Shortfalls, until such Shortfall is fully paid out of such
excess Gross Revenues. As used herein, the term Gross Revenues
shall mean the amount of all dues, assessments, late charges
and any other amounts accrued by Manager from the members of
the Clubs pursuant to paragraph 4(a) hereinabove, plus (ii)
the
-2-
amount of income generated by the Resorts and accrued by
Manager pursuant to paragraph 4(b) hereinabove. Such accruals
shall be determined by Manager in its reasonable discretion
using its normal accounting practices. The amount payable
hereunder to Manager shall be paid in approximately equal
monthly installments throughout the year based on the annual
budget of the Silverleaf Club, as adjusted from time to time
throughout the year, with final adjustments being made as of
December 31 of the year to determine the exact amount due and
payable to Manager for the year under the preceding
provisions. After such final adjustments are made, any balance
due Manager shall be promptly paid, and any overpayment shall
be promptly repaid by Manager.
B. Except as expressly amended hereby, the original terms and
conditions of the Management Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second
Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the
Sixth Amendment, the Seventh Amendment and the Eighth Amendment are hereby
ratified and confirmed by Silverleaf Club and Manager. This Ninth Amendment
inures to the benefit, and is binding upon, the Silverleaf Club and Manager and

C. This Ninth Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and all such counterparts
shall be deemed one and the same instrument.
